Chapter 862: Ascending High and Looking Far
As the saying goes, climb high and look far.
At this moment, Zhou Yue was quite right, he had rushed back to the White Tiger City not long ago, and now, his location was the center of the White Tiger City, and it was also the highest point in the city.
Only by standing here, can he truly feel the grandeur of this Xiongcheng, which cost nearly 20 million gold, lasted nearly four months, mobilized 200,000 modern laborers, 100,000 ancient craftsmen, and almost exhausted the manpower and material resources of the entire force, and was completed under the design and supervision of Cai Yan!
Yes, although he had been to this White Tiger City once before, he was not as shocked as the feeling of standing on the highest point and overlooking the four directions at this moment!
This is his own black city!
And it's unique.
Because whether it is the former Chishan Black City, Jinzhou Black City, Anshan Black City, etc., although it also completely belongs to Zhou Yue, however, those black cities are basically the same, it seems that there is a hidden standard in the underworld, such as the broken city wall can be repaired, but it cannot be demolished, as for expanding the area of the city, building an acropolis or something, it is simply impossible.
Moreover, the black fog shrouded above these black cities is really eerie, even if you look at it for a long time, you will feel uncomfortable, where is it like this, at a glance, it is hundreds of miles, without any obstacles, and people's mood will be much better.
"Sister Yan, you've worked so hard in the past few months!"
Zhou Yue turned his head and said with emotion to Cai Yan, who was by his side, quiet and lanlan-like, and only Cai Yan could do this, in the past few months, Cai Yan was not only responsible for the construction of the White Tiger City, but also responsible for the important affairs of the entire princes' forces, and the hard work can be imagined.
But Zhou Yue himself is running around, and he has never been in charge of specific affairs at all, and even he himself feels sorry for this kind of hands-off shopkeeper.
Hearing this, Cai Yan only smiled slightly, and didn't say anything, since the two of them had that kind of relationship at the beach that day, there was no need to say so many extra polite words.
Zhou Yue didn't care, still very excited to overlook the giant city under his feet and the scene beyond, at the end of the line of sight, he could see an endless stream of convoys and people, converging from all directions, this is the ancient farmers, craftsmen and merchants who migrated from other black cities, and it is expected that about 200,000 people will eventually be moved.
However, these 200,000 people put into this huge White Tiger City, according to Cai Yan's final design plan, but not even one-fifth of it can be filled, only the outer city of the White Tiger City, can accommodate the daily residence of 500,000 people, if this war is won, then, within two hundred miles of the periphery of the White Tiger City, six Acropolis will be built one after another, and then with the White Tiger City as the core, forming a huge urban agglomeration.
This is also what Zhou Yue agrees with, because he now has a preliminary understanding of some behind-the-scenes secrets about this black city world, the so-called competition for the world is of course very beautiful, but in the black city world where the strong are like forests, the first thing to do is not how to expand, but to settle down first!
What's the use of a large site?
Taking the entire Northeast and Eastern Mongolia region as an example, there are nearly fifty black cities in total, and at present, within the scope of Zhou Yue's control, there are only about twenty black cities, and the remaining more than 30 black cities are either abandoned, or occupied by some mountain bandits and bandits, and some places deep in the mountains and old forests, as well as more powerful desolate beasts.
The reason why it has become like this is completely because of no one, in this case, what is the use of building a black city?
And the black cities currently occupied by Zhou Yue's princes' forces are all on the main transportation routes, or close to coastal ports, so that they have the potential for development.
But even so, Zhou Yue felt that the territory was too big to defend at all.
For example, this time the Mongolian army invaded eastward, in case the other party did not follow the routine and attacked by different routes, how many black cities could he Zhou Yue defend? is already weak in strength, but it still has to be deadly, and the limited forces are divided into various black cities for defense, isn't this a donkey kick in the head?
Zhou Yue was already very troubled by this problem, and now Cai Yan's plan allowed him to find a solution, that is, to give up the redundant black city, for this reason, he even very generously divided the old base of Anshan Black City, Panjin Black City and other places to Qin Lang, as for most of the high-quality resources in the sphere of influence, they were all concentrated in the White Tiger City.
In this case, the Mongol army would have to choose to attack the White Tiger City head-on, otherwise, the Mongols would have no other place to attack.
In addition to such a purpose, there is also a more far-reaching purpose, that is, Lin Yuan wants to use the next few years to build the entire White Tiger City into an iron wall, and even he hopes to connect the six acropolis on the periphery with huge walls, preferably like a turtle shell.
The reason why this is so is because Zhou Yue got the clue from the black dragon, this black city world will not exist for a long time, this is the chaotic battle of the gods of the heavens, as long as the rules of heaven and earth are redivided, this world will return to normal, so, since this is the case, why should he take such a big risk to face off against Qin Shi Huang, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Tang Taizong, Alexander, King Arthur and other perverted characters?
As long as he can keep this turtle shell, no matter whether this black city world lasts for ten years or a hundred years, he can finally return to normal.
Even if he Zhou Yue can't see this in his life, at least he must leave this hope for his children and grandchildren.
Of course, this thought Zhou Yue just turned in his heart, and no one else dared to tell him, especially Cai Yan, who didn't show any signs at all.
"Oh yes, Sister Yan, did the books I gave you help you a little before?" Zhou Yue suddenly thought of another question at this time, he killed Xi Zhicai in Changbai Mountain, in addition to many extremely precious equipment, there was also a volume of Warring States Policy, and the best strategy of the Spring and Autumn Period, this thing Zhou Yue couldn't study, so he gave it to Cai Yan after he came back, hoping that she could go further.
"Of course it helps, and it's very helpful, but I want to understand it thoroughly, and I have to retreat for half a year or even a year, but I can't play a role now, and it's ......."
Cai Yan shook her head with some regret, her eyes swept lightly to Zhou Yue, and she couldn't help but fluctuate in her heart, in fact, she didn't think about it at all, or she didn't dare to think that Zhou Yue was lucky enough to kill Xi Zhicai! So when Zhou Yue gave her the Warring States Policy and the Spring and Autumn Period, with Cai Yan's usual temperament, she couldn't help but be overjoyed, with these two treasures like divine books, she broke through the quasi-epic level, and even broke through the epic level in the future, it would not be a problem.
However, at present, Zhou Yue's forces are in the most critical development link, and she is really unwilling to retreat at this time, and she still has to retreat for nearly a year.
