Chapter 50: Preparing for War
When Morley left with his servants, Shelley called Hans and Doyle.
Unlike Wule Town, which has a population of only 2,000, the population of Tateishi Town is as high as 30,000. Naturally, it is much more difficult to manage. This would coincide with the attack of the greenskins, and Shelley decided to conduct a census of the population.
Having said that, with so many people, it is definitely not good to use the same method last time to make identity cards for everyone. Now that the production of paper is also speeding up, Shelley asked Ah Sew to make all the paper that had been made into a card-sized register to record the identities of the residents.
"Your Royal Highness Princess, Brother Hans has already taught us what we need to record identity information, and now we have arranged for our brothers to get it." As he spoke, Dao took out a roster and handed it over, "On this book, there is information about the families of the victims this time." Do you think I'm arranging for someone to send them to the Guards? ”
Shelley shook his head and didn't take the roster: "You just use the Tongsheng tree to notify them that the guards will come and get it, don't worry, they don't dare not come." ”
"Yes, Your Highness Princess, I'll go now." With that, Doyle ran out again.
Shelley looked at Hans: "Have you sent all the weapons and equipment of the greenskins?" ”
Hans shook his head helplessly: "The amount is too large, but don't worry, at most, it will all be sent to Wule Town tomorrow at most." Don't you know, the sixth child saw so much iron, and happily didn't sleep for almost two days. ”
The green-skinned ghost who attacked this time left behind a large number of iron weapons, and Shelley left a set for research. The rest is all dragged to Wule Town and let the sixth make production equipment. This is undoubtedly a wave of pie falling from the sky for Shelley, which is still in the early stage of development of the mine.
With these iron materials, the entire Wule Town has been in a hot state for the past three days. In just two or three days, they have built no less than 10 sets of paper-making equipment, 20 sets of sewing machines and silk drawing machines, and once these equipment are in place, whether it is paper-making or silk production, the speed has been greatly improved.
But having said that, there will always be a day when this iron will run out, and there will be more places where iron will be used for what I have to build later, so the development of the mine cannot be stopped for a moment. After that day, Shelley asked Owen to take people back to the mine to continue mining.
"The mining equipment can't be stopped, has the sixth person seen the drawings I gave? What did he say? ”
Originally, Shelley wanted to let Owen and them mine by manpower first, but now that the iron is not in a hurry, she wants to make a few cave cranes first. It can continuously transport the ore mined from the mine, which not only saves labor, but also improves efficiency.
"The sixth brother said, the things you want need to consume too many materials, and after making all the things you need now, you can only leave enough to make a group."
"One set is also good, let him finish it as soon as possible." Speaking of this, she thought of something, "Hans, you are what I brought out from the royal capital, how does the force value compare with the soldiers here?" ”
Hans said confidently: "Your Royal Highness Princess, don't confuse us, our fifty brothers are all from the regular King's Guard, although they are not the best in the army, but they are not comparable to the militia here, to put it mildly, the group of guards you have seen before is not our opponent." Of course, it has to be when both of us have equal weapons and equipment. ”
"Well, I've heard that your escorts have all been on the battlefield, and even fought against many aliens, right?"
Upon hearing the mention of aliens, Hans's expression flashed with a hint of gloom: "Yes, Your Highness Princess, we have all fought against aliens. ”
Shelley naturally noticed that his mood was wrong, after all, he was a person who had been on the battlefield, and there were several people who were psychologically traumatized. This is also the reason why Shelley does not blame Hans for their habit of drinking a little wine.
But seeing him like this today also made Shelley realize that he should be careful on this issue. So the things she was going to say were put aside, and she felt the need to give him a dose of cardiotonic medicine first.
"Hans, what would you think if I said that in the event of a war, I could make the soldiers suffer zero casualties and win by crushing?"
"Ahaha, Your Highness Princess, if you're joking, I do find it funny." Hans scratched the back of his head and laughed.
If it were on something else, Hans would have believed in Shelley unreservedly, but in this war alone, he really couldn't believe what Shelley said.
"It is true that Your Highness, you completely wiped out the army of greenskins a few days ago, but after all, it was the power of the superpowers, and in a larger war, as long as the two sides take out the holy stones, the power of the superpowers will be useless. Of course, I very much appreciate your talent for commanding battles, and I believe that you must have been framed before you were saddled with the pot that caused the death of a city. It's just a ...... thing like zero casualties."
Shelley chuckled, not angry. Of course, some things have to be told in fact.
"How about we make a bet?"
"Huh? What to bet on? ”
"It won't be long before we have a big battle with the army of greenskins, and if nothing else, it should be the greenskins' side that will strike first. At that time, I will destroy them without relying on the power of the superpowers. If I did, I would ask you to do one thing that you might not be quite willing to do. ”
Hans put away his smile when he heard that the greenskins were coming, he knew that Shelley would not be joking, but he really couldn't believe that she could do what she had just said.
"That'...... So what if you can't? Hans plucked up his courage and asked rhetorically.
"Hehe, if you can't do it, I'll give you a jar of wine. I can assure you that this is the most delicious wine in the world that no father has ever drunk. ”
When it comes to drinking, Hans is finally a little moved.
"That'...... So what am I going to do? ”
Shelley smiled: "It's very simple, train the militia here according to the standards of the Kingdom Army, and focus on training good soldiers with bows and arrows." ”
"It's easy, we have many brothers who have been centurions, and it's a trivial matter to teach this kind of thing. Your Royal Highness Princess, don't worry, I will definitely handle this matter. ”
After Hans left, Bai Yan couldn't help but ask, "Were you really framed before?" ”
Shelley knew she was asking about the death of a city due to Shelley's poor command before.
It was undoubtedly a game set up by her siblings. But if the place is too obvious, will the king not be able to see it? From Shelley's perspective now, I recalled what happened at that time, and found that this pot really had to be carried by Shelley before.
"How can I say it, it's not false to be cheated, but if I want to say that I'm not responsible, that's not either."
"A character like you can be pitted, I really don't know what your brothers and sisters are terrifying."
"What? Does that admit that I'm amazing? ”
Bai Yan's face turned red, don't look over: "You think too much, I just think you are very powerful when you talk big." And how to win the war with zero casualties, it's just a joke. ”
"Oh? Do you want to make another bet with me? ”
Seeing Shelley's inexplicable smile, Bai Yan immediately shook his head.
"I don't want to be fooled by you."
"How can you be fooled? Did I fool you? ”
"Humph! I don't believe it anyway. ”
Shelley smiled: "How about this, it just so happens that I am going to verify some things next, if nothing else, it should be able to give you a glimpse of the war mode I am talking about in advance." Interested? ”
White Smoke didn't speak, and raised an eyebrow at Shelley.
So Scarlet Moon was called to the two of them in a daze, and after listening to Shelley's words, Scarlet Moon was shocked: "No...... Impossible, Your Highness Princess, how can I possibly have the ability to change the battlefield? ”
"Strictly speaking, it's true that your ability can't change the battlefield, but the kind of thing that subverts the battlefield model is only your ability to bring it to this world."
