On the second day when Xiao Wanlong raised his sword and vowed to do a great revolution, the original people were busy in the village. Xiao Wanlong took out all the family funds he had accumulated in the past few years. According to his words, this is the capital of his war with the republic. So what does this capital consist of? Here are a few examples:

The first is the abundance of food and horses. Soldiers often say that soldiers and horses go first before grain and grass are moved. If you want to win big, logistics are crucial. If a soldier does not have enough to eat, where will he have the strength to fight? As a result, people who generally know a little about military affairs will prepare the necessary food and materials before the war.

Xiao Wanlong, as a general who has been galloping on the battlefield for many years, naturally will not fail to consider these. In order to win the war, he began to encourage his people to reclaim the wasteland many years ago. The original village relies on the Misty Mountain. The average altitude here is more than 1,000 meters, and the surrounding terrain is flat and there is very little land suitable for cultivation. Most of the people depend on agriculture for their livelihood, but it is only enough to make ends meet, and if it is said that there is no strategic reserve for war. But this is not difficult for Xiao Wanlong. He made many field trips and began to promote the terraces according to the local natural environment. Terraced fields are a common farming mode in mountainous areas, which is a stepped farmland built by using the contour line of the hillside. The history of the terraces is very long, and it has appeared in the ancient farming civilizations of Shijie all over the country.

Xiao Wanlong's promotion of terraces in the mountainous areas of the Misty Mountains has several major advantages: First, it can effectively expand the cultivated area. In the past, farmers here could only work on small plains with relatively flat terrain. The food produced in this environment is far from sufficient for wartime. With the introduction of terraces, grain can be grown in mountainous areas that were previously uncultivateable, and the yield of crops has increased several times. Second. Terraces help to protect soil and water and prevent soil erosion. It has a very important role in water storage and soil conservation. In addition, the wind and light permeability of the terraces is also relatively good, which can increase the content of humus in the land. It is conducive to improving land fertility. This, in turn, indirectly increases food production.

Through a long period of promotion, there is a surplus of grain in the original village. Xiao Wanlong, who couldn't finish eating a lot of food, sent people to hoard them so that he could use them when the time was ripe.

The production mode here is relatively backward, and basically people's living habits and thinking patterns are similar to those of feudal society. If you don't know about the original village, people who accidentally pass by here will think that they have traveled to ancient times! Similar to the ancient folk customs, the people here are mostly honest and easy-going, they basically have no quarrel with the world, just live an agricultural life of sunrise and daily income. Because the people here are still in the stage of agricultural society, the people here value horses, cattle and sheep very much. These animals are generally their main workforce, responsible for the day-to-day work of turning the soil, weeding and harvesting. The people needed these animals to work, but they also needed them for war. In particular, sturdy horses are indispensable animals on the battlefield. Haode horses have extraordinary stamina and speed, and they are mostly well-versed in human nature, they are good companions of soldiers and generals, and are special warriors who charge into battle like other soldiers. In ancient times, cavalry played a superior role than infantry, both in terms of mobility and lethality. Therefore, all the visionary ancient monarchs would find ways to train cavalry, such as Alexander the Great, Emperor Wu of Han, Genghis Khan, and so on.

Although Xiao Wanlong was not as famous as these people, he also understood the importance of cavalry. He knows very well that the scientific and technological level of the Republic does not know how many times it surpasses the original village. If you are taking the lead with vulnerable infantry, you must not even have the slightest hope of winning. However, the original horses in the original village were limited, and most of them had been engaged in agricultural labor, and it was impossible for them to have combat effectiveness.

In order to solve this problem, he sent people to disguise themselves as Republicans and go to the nearest city to choose a good horse. Then buy the stallions with the talent of war horses and breed them. He was willing to spend a lot of money and naturally obtained many good horse breeds, and after years of breeding and breeding, his cavalry team was already beginning to see its scale.

Of course, food and horses are only the most basic part of logistics. There are many more things needed to fight a war. For example, winter cotton clothes, equipment, armor, weapons, and so on. Xiao Wanlong has also solved these things one by one through various channels in the past few years. In his opinion, this war is a big gamble, and the stake is the future of the entire original village. He's willing to gamble. His people are also willing to gamble because it is a matter of their survival. Mo Yantian's desire to preserve the entire Yuanren Village and not to involve innocent people in the war was not wrong, but he did not understand what the people here had been longing for. And Xiao Wanlong knew what this thing was. For this is what he desires. Fortunately, Mo Zhitian didn't cling to his thoughts anymore, otherwise he might really be killed by Xiao Wanlong. In Xiao Wanlong's opinion, this is necessary. He didn't want anyone to ruin Jihua that he had been preparing for years.

He gave everything for this jihua, not only courage but also all his energy and life. After the logistical problems such as food and grass were solved, he began to train the soldiers non-stop. These soldiers were a bunch of dead soldiers. They are not afraid of sacrifice, they are all loyal to Xiao Wanlong, as long as this old village owner gives an order, they can immediately go to the sword mountain and the sea of fire for him.

The training was done in secret at first, and he didn't want to expose his jihua too soon. Because he was also afraid that there would be people within the original village who would oppose war against the republic. However, there are no impermeable walls on this shijie, and his jihua is soon known to the leaders of the other villages.

Originally, he thought that there would be people who would oppose him, but what he didn't expect was that all the village chiefs agreed that he would go to war against the republic. It also confirmed his inner thoughts that the people in this village were the same as what he wanted.

Xiao Wanlong and the village chiefs reached an agreement. They felt that although they had agreed to war internally, they had not announced any news of the war to everyone for the time being in order to avoid any extraneous problems. Until the time comes for war, all operations can only be carried out in the shadows. This is also the reason why Weishenme Xiao Xiao and Lakshen did not know about the war. In fact, not only did they just know about it, but even the guards who didn't participate in the training had been given orders not long ago.

Xiao Wanlong's move was right, so far the Republic didn't know about their existence, and they could catch him off guard.

Now the stone castle of the original village has been changed into a temporary marshal's mansion, and the village chiefs have also become the generals of the troops under his organization under Xiao Wanlong's instructions one after another. Everything is ready, just wait to choose a good day and an auspicious day to officially set out. Of course, this is a big deal, and the old owner of the village invited a well-respected diviner from the village to deduce the auspicious day. Such activities are absolutely superstitious in the eyes of modern people, but they are extremely sacred to the people of the original village. Divination was a part of the daily life of ancient people. Whether it is traveling, weddings, funerals, or sacrifices, wars, you must first divinate to measure the good fortune and evil. If it is an auspicious omen, it means that this matter is blessed by the gods, and if it is done, it must be twice the result with half the effort.

It was out of this mood that Xiao Wanlong invited a divination master. After a series of deductions, the soothsayer told him that three days later would be the auspicious day of the expedition. This made Xiao Wanlong very happy, because he was afraid that if it was too late, there would be changes, and the sooner the day of the expedition, the better. After announcing the official date of the expedition to the public, he led a group of generals to the Provisional Marshal's Mansion for a pre-war meeting. Xiao Wanlong wanted to finalize the battle. Although he had already planned the target of the first attack and the method of operation, he still wanted to hear the opinions of others.

Just as Xiao Wanlong was about to explain the battle, a male voice came from outside the door of the conference hall: "Zhai master, don't you invite me to such an important meeting?" (To be continued......)
