Chapter 537: Eastward Planning
For the surrounding forces, Chu Zheng, who is not extremely vicious, is not ready to make a dead hand. The fundamental purpose of the eastward advance was to expand the defensive depth of the teleportation array. The second is to increase the number of monks and increase the population. Occupying land and plundering resources can develop in a north-south direction. The long-term goal is to open up a trade route independent of the teleportation array, and it is completely possible to transport the population of Qingxuan from this trade route in the future. With a rich life and a clear rule, as long as Daqin opens up this road, he can continuously transport people over. Therefore, the other party did not provoke Da Qin, and Da Qin destroyed the other party's door, this kind of thing Chu Zheng would not do.
"Family...... Bai Banyuan's smile was a little cold, "The 300,000 army will just give them a little more face in the past." ”
"When the army set off, Bai Zhi and Junsheng followed, and they talked as a family. Chu Zheng said, "If you can talk about it, immediately disperse the foundation building innate monks and distribute them to the various armies, and the ordinary residents will emigrate, and at least ninety percent of the people of the original family will be removed, and the city will be built by land." But by land, you have to remember here that it is best to keep the characteristics of each place. ”
Lu Tong bowed and said, "Lord, we are already very strong, I think we should build a capital city in the wilderness." Moreover, the current wasteland city is overcrowded, and we have too many monks, so we should also establish a few more markets. In addition, the subordinates thought that the Zhengmao country outside the area just divided by the lord should also be requisitioned. Zhengmao country is in the east, where our trade route is located, and its domestic area is only 20,000 li but has a population of 200 million. The current lord of the country is killing his own uncle to ascend the throne, which is very brutal. ”
Lu Tong is right. Bai Zhi confirmed that in fact, this information was all said when she was chatting with Lu Tong, "The last lord of the Zhengmao country was in the broken period, and the idea of the lord of the country and the Cui family was similar. Moreover, the previous lord of the country was still an alchemist, and the Zhengmao country was also very rich, so he kept immigrating. It's just that it is said that because there was something wrong with the alchemy of an elder of the Deception Sect, although the people of the Deception Sect did not pursue the matter openly, they secretly supported his nephew, and then they plotted to seize the main spear. Personally, I don't think it's time to have another conflict with the Decepticon. ”
After all, the Decepticon Sect is a hegemon, and the gap between it and the high-end combat power of the Decepticon Sect is really too big.
"What kind of brutality law?"
"The grain tax was raised from 10 to 50 percent, and the monks were free to dispose of the commoners at will. ”
"Heh, it's a bit like a mystery. Chu Zheng looked at Wang Yan, and Wang Yan nodded helplessly. The current lord of Zhengmao can seek to seize the position of the lord of the country, I am afraid that it cannot be accomplished with the support of the Decepticon Sect, it should be that he had a lot of restrictions on the monks of Zhengmao before, which made the monks very dissatisfied. Just like when the black fire invaded Xuanlu Xia Yuan, the strength of Xuan Law Xia Yuan was not so bad, but the monks were suppressed too hard before, and the monks' complaints were relatively large, and as a result, many monks would not fight for Xuan Law. Now the lord of the Zhengmao country has done the opposite, giving the monk unlimited power at once. And what would be the result without controlled power, Chu Zheng could imagine.
"It will take many years for the Battle of the Jade Bridge to reach the Savage Zone, and we need to establish a prestige in the Savage Zone. ”
Everyone immediately understood that the spear must be fought. Now that Great Qin was eager to fight, Bai Zhi didn't mention it because he was worried about the Heavenly Sect, but as long as Chu Zheng decided, they were still very happy to carry out this plan.
"Ten days later, before noon, attack the main spear. Bai Zhi, you go to find these thirty-one families, and the Cui family will also bring them, and let them send someone who can call the shots. Junsheng, you make a plan, and you command it. ”
"Yes!"
Everyone bowed, and Chu Junsheng smiled and said: "Actually, the battle plan is very simple, the Thunder Army is responsible for guarding the tea mountain and guarding the territory, and the remaining 900,000 are sent over." Since it is Liwei, it shows all its strength. The only trouble was that the two shatters couldn't let them run. ”
Bai Zhi couldn't cry or laugh, "The other party is just two broken, more than 100,000 monks, let's send 900,000 over and not directly scared to death." ”
"This battle is simple, and the trouble is in the back. The area of Zhengmao Country is 20,000 li, but there are 200 million people, and the population density is too large. We only need to leave 10 million people there and send monks to garrison them, and this plan is agreed upon by you and Lu Tong. As for the capital proposed by Lu Tong, it is not needed for the time being, but I think it is okay in Fang City. What are your plans?"
"The Lord of the Enlightened Kingdom. The area around the "Land Passage," the Heavenly Master Hall is a key area, and the largest Fang City can be built. ”
Bai Zhi gritted her teeth, and Li Hongcai, who participated in this level meeting for the first time, jumped straight.
Chu Zheng smiled and shook his head, "You can see a fang market there, but it's not a simple fang market. ”
"I, Great Qin, have been cautious since its establishment, and I have spared no effort in the protection of the teleportation array. Now, after the battle of the distant attack on Yuqiao, everyone has also seen it. My Daqin is no longer cautious, my Daqin is a hegemon. On the side of the couch is a place for others to sleep, which is why I decided to go east. Here, the teleportation array's defenses will no longer be strengthened, but will be increased by strategic depth. The most immediate change in this fundamental shift is to strengthen communication and go out and invite in. We haven't made a big splash when we go out, our previous focus was on Qingxuan, and now our focus is on the wilderness. To go out, it is necessary to build a huge caravan and establish a safe trade route. The starting point of the trade route is the square market that Lu Tong said. One of the nodes can be selected at the Spear Border. The end point is across the wilderness. ”
Bai Zhi said: "If you want to cross the wilderness zone, you need a large enough flow of interests and people. Let's build a fang city, build a little better, build a little bigger. Divide a part of the output and sell it, and then I will find a way to expand the supply from Qingxuan. ”
"It is also necessary to open up the trade route to Tsing Yi Building in Northeast China. Liang Cheng interjected, "One trade route is not good, at least three, and safety must be guaranteed." ”
Chu Junsheng said: "After capturing the main spear, we will take hundreds of thousands of people straight to the Deception Sect and return through a force, so that we can deter the people along the way, and we can also attract the flow of people from the Deception Sect." The other two do the same. ”
I will bring hundreds of thousands of troops to talk to you, this trade route must be guaranteed, do you dare to make it bad? There are interests and deterrence, and those who do not agree are idiots.
Because of the vast land and sparsely populated area, there is very little communication between the forces of the various parties in the wilderness, and they are afraid of being robbed on the road. If Daqin ensures the safety of the three trade routes, and there are a large number of flying boats running, and there are elixir magic weapons and array disks at the end, it will definitely attract many people. There are a lot of spirit stones and spiritual materials in the wilderness, and what is lacking is the elixir magic weapon and array plate.
The strategy and purpose of the eastward expansion were determined, and before everyone dispersed, the second chief of Murong had already run over.
"Family Master, Sha Tianbao deliberately wants to merge into us. Let me tell you, the master of the family, Sha Tianbao is so grinding, at first he ......"
"Zhang Rong, you and Sha Tianbao will talk, and find me after you are confirmed. Butler, I'm going to retreat. ”
"Retreat, retreat is good, hurry up to the Heavenly Monarch to give birth to a little young master. You must be ...... the head of the house Well, I told Zhang Rong that the head of the family should hurry up and go to retreat. "Murong Er, a person who understands things, directly let Chu Zheng target Zhang Rong. Zhang Rong wanted to cry without tears......
After two days, Zhang Rong took Sha Tianbao Sha Jinfeng to find Chu Zheng, and first gave Chu Zheng a resentful look, Chu Zheng smiled and was a little embarrassed.
Sha Tianbao had long intended to merge into Great Qin, and it would not work if he didn't think so, everyone in Chifeng Hall had this idea. But Sha Tianbao, who is old and serious, is still waiting silently. The million-strong army attacked Yuqiao and returned victoriously, and the people of Chifeng Hall were more eager to integrate into Great Qin, and Sha Tianbao had no will to stop it, so he found Murong Er, the middleman. Zhang Rong and Sha Tianbao talked twice, and Sha Tianbao's final meaning was that if he was incorporated into Daqin, he would follow all the rules of Daqin, but he also hoped to retain the name of Chifeng Hall, which would be run by Sha Jinfeng with more than a dozen children of the Sha family.
"Chifeng Hall, as a 10,000-year-old brand, is the glory of the Sha family. Chu Zheng personally poured tea for the three of them, which flattered Sha Jinfeng.
"The establishment of private business is also something we strongly support. Stretching out his hand, a picture similar to a rendering of mana condensation appeared in front of the four people, "I have already agreed to the planning renderings sent by the Tiangong Palace this morning. In this valley thousands of miles east of the Heavenly Master Palace, the largest fang city, the Heavenly Master Valley, will be established. ”
Influenced by Chu Zheng, Angelica Angelica, Lu Tong, Liang Cheng and others all liked valleys, especially valleys with mountain springs. After comprehensive consideration, Lutong put the planning of Fang City here. Outside the Heavenly Master Valley is a river more than ten zhang wide, and there are also mountain springs and small lakes in the valley, which eventually merge into the big river. On the bank of the river ten miles away is a small city of 10,000 people, and 100 miles away is a central city of 100,000 people, so it can be said that all the conditions are met.
briefly talked about the strategy of eastward expansion and opening up trade routes, which immediately made Sha Tianbao and Sha Jinfeng smile. They used to worry that Chifeng Hall could only barely survive by relying on Daqin's procurement, but with the strategy of eastward expansion and trade routes, Chifeng Hall would not be able to develop and grow in less than a hundred years.
At this time, Lu Tong was sitting in the Heavenly Master Valley to formulate a detailed construction plan, and there was a map of mountains and rivers with a length and width of three zhang next to it, on which various different architectural plans were constantly outlined.
Bai Zhi had just come out of Cui's house on the six-pin flying dragon boat and was discussing matters related to the Flying Boat Company with two deacons.
Ordinary flying boats are not expensive, but they are not widely used in the wilderness. The flying boat means that it is too eye-catching, this is the target of being robbed by monsters and birds, so few people use flying boats in the wilderness, and no one travels around, and those who have the courage and ability to travel are dying.
Rubbing her eyebrows in distress, Bai Zhi felt that she was still thinking too simply. The average flying boat takes 6,000 miles an hour, 14 days for a million miles to go day and night, and 28 days for a round trip. One needs twenty-eight a day, but that's not enough. Even if the calculation is based on 28 ships, 84 ships will be needed for the three trade routes, and the road to Tsing Yi Lou will not be more than 1 million miles, at least 10 million miles, so it is conservatively estimated that 300 ships will be needed. There are flying boats in Great Qin, but each flying boat must be equipped with at least one Jindan envoy, at least there must be an escort. And the man went out into the sea. Although it is certain to make money, the manpower investment in the early stage and the forces involved in opening up the trade route are really quite troublesome.
