On the second night, the origin of the bandits (4)
Her reply again caused a long silence between them. One of the questions that has been bothering me for a long time has been answered so easily. You must know that the previous mission publisher would not answer any questions that were not related to the mission, whether this was the change brought about by the Dong'er surname, or the information that the Donghai team opened up to them after the level was raised.
It's a no-go area that can't be asked, and both of them have such an awareness. They can't ask Dong'er like that, "Were you a person before?" Why was there no human touch at that time? ”
However, it was already an unexpected surprise to know the reason why it was always dark in Donghai Town, and even Huang Zhi found something interesting, "Dong'er, are you saying that we can only enter and exit this world through Donghai Town, so does it mean that once we leave the town, even if we fall asleep, we can't return to the world that belongs to us?" ”
Dong'er was stunned for a moment, and then thought about it for a moment before giving an ambiguous answer, "Maybe, to be honest, I don't know." ”
Sima Fuqiang shot the case again, "That's right, it must be so!" Shixin, you have reminded me, otherwise I have been thinking about how we can control the territory of Donghai Town, which has more than 60,000 square kilometers, with such a short stay in this world. As long as we leave the town, we will not return in our sleep, so that it will be possible to launch a continuous battle to wipe out the bandits in the surrounding area. ”
After listening to Sima Fuqiang's analysis, even Huang Zhi felt that his guess was likely to be the truth. Donghai Town is a passage for people in their dreams to enter and exit the dream realm of the forces, that is, away from the passage, they will not be able to return to reality for the time being.
What kind of existence is that so-called imperial court? There are so many secrets about the people in your dreams. It seems that when the East China Sea team is strong enough, it is time to find an opportunity to go to the Imperial Court to see if they can dig out more secrets of the dream world.
Sima Fuqiang was very satisfied with tonight's conversation, he stood up, "Let's go, let's go to the town guard now and discuss how to attack the bandits." ”
"Wait!" What is strange is that Dong'er actually stopped him.
The two men looked at her, could it be that this woman was merciful and wanted to leak more information? Then they will definitely listen to it.
But Dong'er obviously doesn't have this permission, or she herself has limited knowledge. At this time, she was going to say something else, "It's too early to attack the bandits, don't you think about building the walls of Donghai Town first?" Otherwise, when you go out to clean up the bandits in various places, be careful that the lair is taken away. ”
Sima Fuqiang realized that he was a little anxious, and he must first settle down inside the outside, which is the wise saying put forward by Qi Huangong, one of the five tyrants of the Spring and Autumn Period. Without a reassuring rear foundation, no matter how well the war is fought in the front, it will be impossible to escape the danger of annihilation. He was a man of war history, and there are too many examples in history to show this truth.
Let's just say that his own main line war, the Sui and Tang dynasties, would be fine. Emperor Yang Guangwen of the Sui Dynasty had a strong military strategy, but after all, it was because he neglected An Nei and left the backyard on fire, but used most of his military forces to fight outside, so that the Sui Dynasty collapsed. Although it is to open up territory and attract ministers from all sides, it is ultimately to make wedding dresses for others.
Smiling awkwardly, he sat down again, "Then let's ask the elders to come back, and let's discuss the issue of opening the East China Sea and building the city wall." ”
The elders didn't go far, they were just waiting in the hall for the town guard to summon. At this time, Donghai Town was in a state of ruin, especially since the people in the dream did not have a special local elder, and the presbyterian council as a civil official system had a heavy responsibility.
As if nothing had happened just now, Elder Shui Xuan asked straight to the point, "Does Lord Townsman want to consult about the opening of the East China Sea and the construction of the city wall?" If this is the case, we old men have already prepared a set of plans, just wait for you to make a final decision. ”
Sima Fuqiang was once again pleased with the wise move of choosing to build the Presbyterian Church, although he had studied countless wars and had an incomparably deep understanding of human warfare, he still could not imitate Cao Ying's "annihilation of heroes in troubled times, capable ministers of the world", that is, good at military affairs and good at politics. For things like town construction, his head can be described as a pot of porridge, and it can be mushy.
Then the elders brought out a pile of maps and files, and the first thing that caught their eyes was the layout of the town of Donghai Town. This thing is also in the station of the East China Sea team, but it is just a three-dimensional sand table set up by Sima Fuqiang himself.
However, the picture prepared by the elders made the eyes of the two light up. It's not because this map is more intuitive than Sima Fuqiang's sand table, but because the map has already made plans for the future of Donghai Town.
Elder Mu Qing held a military baton and pointed to the location of the town center on the map to explain. "First of all, the town guard house, according to the practice of Dongzhou, should be located in the center of the town, sitting north and facing south. This was originally the station occupied by the three teams of the East China Sea, and at this time, it can be transformed into a town guard mansion with a little rectification. ”
Sima Fuqiang and Huang Zhi couldn't stop nodding, it wasn't that they paid attention to the majesty of the official family, but it was much more convenient to set up the town guard mansion in the center of the town than in the northeast corner. In this way, the town guard's office, the medical center, the town office and the presbyterian meeting are symmetrically distributed in the four directions of the town center square: north, south, west and east.
Looking further to the periphery, the city walls have been marked on the map, and the eight exits of Donghai Town have been opened. The city gate is named after the innate eight trigrams, starting from due south, clockwise to the eight gates of Qian, Xun, Kan, Gen, Kun, Zhen, Li, and Dui, which happens to be the same as the names of the states in the Dongzhou sphere of influence.
There was originally a river in Donghai Town, which came from the northeast direction, flowed through Dongfang Village on the way, and then circled a small half circle in the southeast and southeast directions of Donghai Town, and then went south. At this time, the Presbyterian Church's map re-planned the river, making the river a full circle around the town of Donghai and becoming a moat.
In this way, the existing bridges outside the three gates of Qian, Dui, and Li need to be transformed into suspension bridges that can be raised, and the remaining five gates also have to be rebuilt as suspension bridges, and the amount of work is not small.
Sima Fuqiang immediately raised his concerns, "Although Donghai Town is not big, I am afraid that this kind of construction scale will not be completed in more than a month." ”
"No problem." Elder Mu Qing replied with a smile, he was obviously confident. "The total length of Donghai Town's current castle is less than five miles, and the surrounding area is surrounded by mountains, so it is very easy to obtain materials. Due to the limited terrain outside Donghai Town, it is not suitable for the deployment of siege equipment, and the simple city wall we want to build in the early stage is only three or five meters high, which can resist the climbing of bandits. Therefore, as long as we recruit the surrounding Liangcheng Renkou to migrate to the nine villages of Donghai as planned, we will have enough labor to build the city wall and moat within a month. ”
Sima Fuqiang realized that he had complicated things, Donghai Town was only a small county town at present, and it was impossible to build the city wall according to high standards. Not to mention whether there are enough human and material resources, from a strategic point of view, even if such a large territory is forcibly built, it does not make much sense.
However, in the future, after the scale of Donghai Town increases, the current urban area will be used as the inner city, and then an outer city wall will be rebuilt at the mountain pass five miles to the south, which will be a strong and majestic city surrounded by mountains on three sides, easy to defend and difficult to attack.
The Warden immediately approved the Elders' plan and authorized them to proceed immediately.
In addition to the plans for the town guard and the city walls, there are also four functional buildings on this map, namely a carpenter's house, a leather workshop, a handicraft workshop, and a storehouse. It seems that these are also the supporting facilities planned by the Presbyterian Council in the near future, and Sima Fuqiang also approved the settlement of these functional buildings.
As to why the Council of Elders still has a place for a building, they are considering that the Lord Keeper may need to build a special building similar to the Council of Elders on a temporary basis to suit a specific need. For this, the two young people couldn't help but admire the old man's forward-looking surname for everything.
