Chapter 555: The Diamond Triangle
The soldiers said neatly, "Yes, Commander." Zhang Ye used his spare light for a second, and everyone looked very serious and hardworking. He was satisfied.
"First of all, I think what you have to do is, make bricks. ”
"The bricks should be very neat and consistent. ”
Zhang Ye taught them to belong to the category of architecture, and I don't know if I can listen to them or not, but as long as one or two people know how to drink wine, and then take them all, I will be able to do nothing lightly.
Zhang Ye's speed is very fast, how fast his speed is, even he doesn't know, he only knows that his speed of moving bricks and laying bricks is incomparable to his subordinates. In short, he laid bricks for three meters, and his draw was only one meter. Of course, this so-called one meter is a brick up. It's not a layer.
The country is given a year, but, obviously, it doesn't take a year.
Zhang Ye admonished, "You must be careful not to be sloppy just because it is someone else's, no, we are elite soldiers, and we can't ruin our reputation." ”
"Guo Gang is looking for you, it turns out that you are deserters. ”
"Well, yes. ”
The general who controls the government, "How long will it take for my city wall to be completed?"
Zhang Ye said, "It will take fifteen days." ”
"In such a short period of time?"
"Well, yes, it's about three months. Nine months shorter than the time you gave. ”
"I don't know, can you join my army. ”
"No, I need to do something else. ”
"A mercenary wandering the world?"
"You can think so. Zhang Ye said, "Can I leave as long as the city wall is completed?" ”
"Yes. As long as the walls are built, you and your army can go. He smiled. Zhang Ye's heart suddenly changed, he didn't trust it very much, he felt that he had to prevent it when the time came, otherwise, if it was designed, it would be really bad.
"My lord, why are you always like that. "There was a regimental commander who seemed to be dissatisfied with the voice.
Zhang Ye said, "If we weren't so careful, we might be killed." ”
"But, yes, I've never met my former superior. ”
Zhang Ye asked, "So, what about your former superiors?"
"Dead, but in battle. ”
Zhang Ye didn't explain too much, and his tone became low, "In short, I am the army commander, you just listen to me." ”
There are several subordinates, there is actually a feeling of disagreement, Zhang Ye knows, they have noticed something, after all, they are not residents of the same material, they have been in the military camp for many years, they must be old fritters, and they can distinguish something from some clues. Zhang Ye admires it very much, however, Zhang Ye is super attentive to those who oppose him, as long as something is wrong, he will definitely strike first and then kill.
"I think you can do it, you can be the head of the hundred. ”
"Ah, well, are you serious. ”
Zhang Ye nodded at the good-looking soldier. So, a small soldier was promoted, and at the same time, a hundred regimental commanders were kicked out. This was Zhang Ye's first solitary dictatorship. Most of the reactions were one of surprise and incomprehension, but nothing was said. Because, the military power is in the hands of Zhang Ye. Zhang Ye can do this. Will be outside, the king's destiny is something.
Zhang Ye didn't like some of the life behaviors of some soldiers, such as spitting everywhere, or deducting boogers or something. However, there is no such order yet, after all, several people have already been kicked, and if they insist on doing it like that, there may be some bad effect. After all, he is only a rookie army commander, and it is also because of those people that they will raise objections.
The city wall was completed in three months, if, as Zhang Ye expected. On this day, there was no such thing as a ban or anything else that I wanted to do. The general actually let Zhang Ye go very generously and left. This was a bit of a surprise to Zhang Ye. But it's okay, otherwise, it may be a bit of trouble. Seriously, Zhang Ye's plan is at most to get out of danger with Ailai. That's good, all four hundred and ninety-eight people are out.
Zhang Ye, "The whole army, out of the city." ”
"Yes, Commander. ”
In addition to the fact that this city represents the official disconnection with the Congo. In this way, they have no way back. In this way, you can only follow yourself. Zhang Ye was very satisfied with this. Lead everyone in addition to the city. The power of the perpetrators, controlled by nearly five hundred people, rose. Of course, don't do anything that is qualified, otherwise, it will not be good to provoke resistance, after all, although you are in command of this army, you will not have complete and absolute control, and it will take time. Convince them that they know what they are capable of. It won't be long. Zhang Ye is very confident in this.
"Commander, take a sip of water. "After walking for a long time, a well-behaved soldier brought Zhang Ye a bowl of water. Zhang Ye accepted it and drank it in one gulp. It's a little hot, and it's only slightly better after drinking the water and oil. But it's not in the way, such an environment is not the most bitter for Du Yu. He encountered a much more difficult environment than this.
"How far is it from finishing this Gobi Desert? ”
Soldier, "There are still about thirty miles to go, but I am not sure, for this is what passers-by have asked about." ”
"Well," Zhang Yexin said: Just treat him as thirty miles, which is only one day, and he should be able to arrive tomorrow night.
At night, it gets cold. This is more uncomfortable than during the day, in fact, it is just that kind of psychological reaction, if it is daytime, it will feel better at night. It's a relative of adversity. In short, I feel that it is the most bitter when I go through any link. It's the opposite of good times.
Zhang Ye came to this country without borders, but not without borders. The border is within the border.
It's rampant here, mostly sinners, desperate to survive here. There may be resource points here, but they will definitely not be developed. Because there is no such huge labor.
Mining is difficult, and it is the most difficult at first.
"Captain, we don't have much food left. ”
Zhang Ye said, "I have expected it. He led everyone to a high ground, but he didn't expect that the deal would be occupied, so the two sides opened up a battle. In the end, forty-nine people died on Zhang Ye's side and won the victory. However, what made him feel strange was that there were still a lot of people missing, and in the end, the number of hand-picked people plus himself was only four hundred and twenty.
However, there were many prisoners, and in the end, Zhang Ye's army was barely 480 people.
Zhang Ye occupies this hill. Fortunately, there is no time to be hungry, otherwise, if you fight when you are hungry, you will definitely suffer more damage, maybe you will lose hundreds, or even a hundred, and hunger will affect the state very much. No matter how strong it is, in the face of hunger, it is just a pretense of being strong.
Within a few days of capturing the hilltop camp, someone came to attack, of course, it was some small miscellaneous fish, which did not belong to the army at all, Zhang Ye's army had ten people in each army equipped with iron weapons. For the motley army, it is simply one-sided. As a result, only a dozen people were wounded, and then an attacking force of a hundred people was completely wiped out. Although Zhang Ye has said that they should pay attention to keeping alive, their fighting style is to kill people, and they will not leave alive if there is no accident, and it is only possible if there are a comparable number of people. It's too one-sided, and you can't stop it at all. Of course, it is also a disobedience to Zhang Ye's arrangement, if you really want to do that, it will only be more injured, and you can definitely capture dozens of people.
The border hills are engaged in robbing and traders. The border was a necessary place for trade routes.
"Boss, there is also a harvest today, robbed a woman, there is a lot of gold and silver on her, and a child, haha. ”
Zhang Ye was slightly angry, you know, he said, don't rob women, old and young, and poor people, and really don't take your orders seriously.
Zhang Ye said lightly, "Take her to me." ”
"Yes, I'll bring it right away!" Showing a very understanding look, Zhang Ye almost wanted to slap him a few times. Because, in his heart, he didn't mean that at all.
Zhang Ye said, "Who are you, don't you know that it is very dangerous to go across the border." ”
"It doesn't matter who I am, it's important that you caught me. ”
Zhang Ye felt strange, "Oh?
"I don't need to tell you this, when the time comes, you'll know,"
Zhang Ye's heart was sudden, but he was afraid that he was deceiving him, so he decided to be conservative, "So, please tell me, who is your backstage?"
The lady suddenly laughed, "Haha, you're being funny, aren't you?" ”
Zhang Ye became more and more convinced that the backstage behind this woman was very hard, so it was likely to be a royal relative of a country, or it was a princess. Whoever said that a princess must be young, maybe an old woman is not necessarily it.
Zhang Ye realized that her identity might be very big, so he privately decided to let her go.
"You're really going to let me go. ”
"Well, yes, but I won't return the gold and silver jewelry that I took from you. ”
"Hmm. The noblewomen of thirty-seven and eight accepted this result.
"If you need help, we can escort you to the adjacent over. ”
She was about to vomit, "No, this is already close, and it needs to be closer." "She looked confident. Maybe she said something, but the soldiers under her command didn't sell it and still arrested her, Zhang Ye thought so. Otherwise, why is she, and confident, even if the distance is only one meter, it is dangerous, who knows what will happen in the next second.
"My lord, haha, how did that woman play yesterday......"
Zhang Ye stopped his gibberish, "That's enough." ”
"Oh," he hurriedly shut up in a panic, and said to himself: It seems that the adults had an unpleasant time last night.
Zhang Ye had an idea in his heart, and he gradually determined it. He was ready to agree that all the bandits in the border, so that even one country would not be offended too easily, if they were trained to be an army. Otherwise, after so many years on the border, these small bandit organizations have not been exterminated. One is that this is a frontier, a place that countries don't want to govern, because there could be a war if you set foot in person. The second is that the terrain here is steep. A long march is very disadvantageous for the troops coming from afar.
It took Zhang Ye ten years to finally unify the border, with fewer troops than he had imagined. He's not just a bandit like Copper Bell. He developed a set of rules and regulations that the old, the young, and the sick could not become soldiers. This is a good way to reduce deaths in battle. It also made his troops even more powerful.
When several countries on the border knew about his unified border, they immediately sent out invitations, and they were all unanimous, and they all wanted Zhang Ye's border to surrender.
But it was impossible at that time, but he couldn't have so many enemies in one person, which made him feel that it was very difficult to do. He didn't want his soldiers to die for no reason.
The total population was five thousand seven, and the number of soldiers was only nine hundred and eighty. But this is not enough, the previous army of only 980 people is definitely the army of the strong.
The original team he brought from Guogang still took the lead, and Zhang Ye took special care of them, and they enjoyed any benefits first. It's also a kind of guilt for pulling them into the water. Many of them want to go back and see their loved ones. Zhang Ye's words dispelled this thought, "You won't go, they all think that you are dead, and the grief will be gone, if you go back, yes, you can give your relatives short-term happiness, but have you thought about it, you will be wanted immediately, you will be caught, and you will become a sinner through the ages." And your family will be disgraced. ”
The way Zhang Ye said it was not a warning, nor a threat, but a narrative of facts. But it contains both, which has to be said, this is called the art of speaking. They all listened, so they all accepted it, Zhang Ye didn't point it out, but it contained in the meaning: stay and continue to be his soldier. Serve him.
"I am now promulgating a new policy, the separation of soldiers and peasants!" Zhang Ye used the separation of soldiers and peasants, so that the soldiers were not idle, but also went to work. In this way, the working force is greatly optimized. However, it is also mining, and there is also the cultivation of some such herbaceous plants that can live. It's a flower that can only survive in a particularly demanding place. It's called Su Sakura.
With the rhizomes and petals of Su cherry blossoms, you can make piles of paralyzing behaviors. It is mostly used for pain relief, but if it is not used well, it will become an addictive drug. Zhang Ye warned his people not to take Su Sakura. Because, he is even: this is simply an item of the nature of a poison.
After the Su cherry blossoms are dried, the value of one tael can be exchanged for one hundred taels of grain.
Su cherry blossom is a restricted-level item, which is in short supply. In the vast majority of countries, the inflow of such goods is prohibited. And in those countries where it is banned, the people in it have scarce needs. In this category, the richer the country, the stronger the prohibition. In some developed countries, one tael of Su cherry blossoms is as high as 1,000 taels of grain. You can imagine how difficult it is to get in. Su Sakura, the value will increase every time you pass a level. It only takes four or five cities that prohibit inflow to pass, and it can be doubled by more than four or five times. It's really a huge profit. Zhang Ye grasped this business. He's going to make a big (). There is no way, now there is only this, otherwise, how to defeat Damascus. We have to do this business, this business profiteering industry.
However, at the beginning, I encountered very difficult troubles, that is, the appearance of bugs, and the appearance of wilting. It is true that it is easy to grow here, but there will also be miscellaneous things, and after this state of miscellaneous things appears, the harvest is greatly reduced, although it is said that it still makes a lot of money, but it does not achieve the ideal income. Obviously, you can get so much, but it has been reduced a lot, and it doesn't feel good to you. This is human greed.
"My lord, someone has raised the purchase price to 150L. ”
"Still a regular customer. ”
"Why, there are new state institutions to buy. ”
Zhang Ye said, "The one thing I said is not correct, you say it." ”
"But, but......" When he saw Zhang Ye's eyes, he immediately complied. The Minister of Trade retired.
Zhang Ye still has several ministers, the Minister of Trade is the most powerful and the only one to talk to him, and the other ministers are developing, and they are the kind of people who work hard and take a long time, for example, the military minister trains soldiers to report once every few months, and the production department also needs to report once a quarter, that is, once every three months. Trade pays off every month. Zhang Ye is grasping trade, because the effect of belonging to the border is too good. Zhang Ye's boundary looks like a triangle, and he knows it in private, it's called a diamond triangle. True to its name, there is something more expensive than diamonds, called Su Sakura.
To a fixed source of customers, it has been fixed and there is no mistake. As for the new source of customers, Zhang Ye did not grasp it, and only after satisfying the sources of customers in all aspects, did he develop new sources of customers. The new source of customers is very unstable, and most of them are underground forces in some countries, and they are likely to be interrogated by the forces in power and then blocked. When the time comes, it will be you who will lose money, not them. Because, the industry implements the regulations of first goods and pay later. It is also this regulation that makes so many countries and institutions willing to buy. After all, if there is an accident, you don't need to be responsible, because it is the first payment and then the payment, and if it is the first payment and then the goods, it will be difficult to tell.
