Chapter 56: New Year's Resolutions

On the second day of the New Year, Xia Ren left Haiyuan City with a large number of supplies.

It took three days to arrive at Weihai Island, where the Wei Navy was still training on Shiyuan Island, and at present, there were only Zhou shipbuilders and those who had been captured to help build ships on Weihai Island.

As for those captives who were not of bad character, they were also given to Gao Shun and Zhou Tai by Xia Ren, most of these people were disciples of the Forgotten Worry Pavilion, and their individual cultivation was good, and they could become little masters in the army with a little training.

It didn't take long for Duan Zhengchun to come to Weihai Island to meet Xia Ren, which was notified by Xia Ren before he left, let Duan Zhengchun come over, he had something to explain.

Duan Zhengchun is now stationed on Forget Worry Island, where the worship hall built by Xia Ren is located, and when he is usually fine, Duan Zhengchun will stay there.

At present, there are still some masters in the worship hall, and the Forget Worry Pavilion has surrendered a Transformer Ninefold, three Transformers Eightfold Masters, these four are the servants who listened to the true legend of the Rain Pavilion, and the Pavilion's Ninefold is the Pavilion Master Xu Fu, and the three Deputy Pavilion Masters of the Eightfold Avatar are Zhao De, Zhao Yi, and Liu Wenjun.

As for the other masters of Mortal Transformation, there is no Forget Worry Pavilion, these four people are all dedicated to cultivation, and they don't teach their disciples much.

The reason why the Forgotten Worry Pavilion is strong is that it is strong in these four people.

There are also the two sect masters of the Water Spirit Sect who surrendered, Zhang Miao and Qin Sen.

Now there are six people in the worship hall, and Duan Zhengchun is seven, four of whom are high in life.

These people had all seen Zhao Yun's methods, so although Duan Zhengchun's cultivation was lower than them, they didn't dare to have bad intentions, after all, Xia Ren didn't want to kill them, he just let them contribute, there was no need to risk being chased and killed by Zhao Yun and betrayed.

"Meet Your Highness. ”

As soon as he saw Xia Ren, Duan Zhengchun respectfully clasped his fists and saluted.

"Mr. Duan doesn't have to be polite. ”

Xia Ren said with a smile: "This time, this king invited Mr. Duan to come because he wanted your worship hall to make a move, and soon after, General Zhou Tai will send troops to the Blue Dream Sea Region, and then he will need your worship hall to assist him throughout the process." ”

Duan Zhengchun said with a straight face: "Your Highness, rest assured, the worship hall will go all out." ”

Later, after Xia Ren and Duan Zhengchun explained some precautions, they took a boat to Shiyuan Island again.

Four days later, Shiyuan Island, Nioh's Mansion.

Xia Ren sat on the main seat, and below stood Zhao Yun, Zhou Tai, Gao Shun, Zhou Cang and others.

At this time, Xia Ren above slowly spoke: "After such a long time, I don't know how your soldiers are training?" General Zhou Tai, you should first report on the situation of the Wei Navy." ”

Zhou Tai clenched his fists and said: "Back to Your Highness, the Wei Navy now has 20,000 elite soldiers, and 5,000 auxiliary soldiers can just form a fleet with ten Sea King warships. ”

"Among them, 20,000 elite soldiers are excellent in training, and 5,000 auxiliary soldiers are also trained, and they can be used as soldiers when necessary, and they are responsible for the logistics of the Sea King warship in peacetime. ”

Xia Ren nodded, 20,000 elite soldiers is already good, if it weren't for the lack of soldiers, Xia Ren would still want to recruit tens of thousands, at present, Haiyuan City is no longer suitable for continuing to recruit troops, the goal is too big.

can only put the hope of the future soldiers in the south, thinking of this, Xia Renyou looked at Gao Shun, "General Gao Shun, I don't know how the infantry is trained?"

Gao Shun said with a solemn face: "Back to Your Highness, the 20,000 army forces have been able to skillfully use the battle formation, do the order and prohibit, and be familiar with the rules of the battlefield, but they have not experienced actual combat, so the final result is not easy to judge." ”

Xia Ren also understands that the infantry is not like the Wei Navy, and there are nearly 10,000 people in the Wei Navy who have experienced a lot of wars, and veterans can quickly adapt to the battlefield with new recruits.

But the army under Gao Shun is different, they are all new recruits, and they have not experienced actual combat, no matter how good the training is, they must have experienced the test of actual combat before they can draw conclusions.

After thinking for a while, Xia Ren said to Gao Shun: "In this way, General Gao, you will continue to train these 20,000 infantry first, and after this king invites reinforcements, you can take these 20,000 soldiers to the endless mountains in the south." ”

"During this period, this king will also send people to inquire in detail about the endless mountains and barbarians, so that it will be convenient for General Gao to act at that time. ”

Gao Shun nodded and clenched his fists, "The last general will take the order." ”

"That's right. ”

Xia Ren suddenly sounded something, and asked Gao Shun, "General Gao, can you train your trapping camp?"

"Back to His Highness, the last general has already selected a suitable candidate, but it has not been able to take shape because there is no actual combat. ”

"That's it, General Gao, you first take the people you selected to go back to Haiyuan City with this king, and the soldiers here will let General Zhou Cang train temporarily. ”

Gao Shun hugged his fists and took his life.

Then Xia Ren looked at Zhou Cang, "General Zhou, is there a problem?"

Zhou Cang scratched his head and said with a smile: "The last general is no problem, when General Gao Shun trains his soldiers, the last general is always by his side, and when the time comes, just continue according to General Gao Shun's training method." ”

Xia Ren nodded, and smiled at Gao Shun: "Just now, this king suddenly thought of a way, although Donghai Prefecture is relatively stable, but there are also some robbers and bandits, and General Gao can use these people to train at that time." ”

After speaking, he paused for a moment and continued: "And this king will trouble the Li family to list some of the sinful sects in Donghai Prefecture, and then it will be necessary to trouble General Gao to exterminate them, one is for military training, and the two are inherited." ”

After hearing this, Gao Shun suddenly said: "Your Highness, this method is feasible, although those robbers and bandits are vulnerable, but it can also let these recruits see blood, and the sect's power is not weak, it should be able to train some elite soldiers." ”

Xia Ren nodded and said with a smile: "Yes, if you encounter a sect with a strong enemy at that time, you tell this king, and this king will send General Zhao Yun to help you solve it." ”

Zhao Yun also nodded and smiled beside him, thinking that he finally had the opportunity for me Changshan Zhao Zilong to appear?

Probably feeling Zhao Yun's resentment, Xia Ren coughed, and said: "General Gao, when you go to the Endless Mountains in the South, you should focus on finding demon beasts suitable for acting as mounts, preferably in groups." ”

Gao Shun hugged his fists and said: "Your Highness, rest assured, the last general will definitely pay attention to it." ”

After talking about the military deployment, Xia Ren got up and smiled at everyone: "Everyone, let's go with this king." ”

Everyone nodded and followed Xia Ren out of the Renwang Mansion.

On the way, Xia Ren said to Zhou Tai: "General Zhou, I don't know how the Qingling rice is planted now? ”

Zhou Tai nodded, and replied to Xia Ren as he walked: "Your Highness, after more than half a year of cultivation, the output of Qingling rice will be greatly increased now, but it cannot be used by all soldiers, and can only be used by excellent people occasionally. ”

"Well, let's continue to plant and strive to popularize it, even if it can't be commonly used, we must give every soldier a hope. ”

After speaking, he asked again: "What is the growth cycle of Qingling Rice, and how is the consumption of spirit stones?"

Zhou Tai nodded, "The last general has been increasing the output now, and basically most of the Qingling rice will be planted as seeds again, and only a small part will be used out." ”

"The growth cycle is generally a harvest every three months, but if you use a large number of spirit stones, it can be shortened to two months to harvest, as for the consumption of spirit stones, it is usually planted, and the consumption is not large, but if you want to shorten the cycle, then the cost of spirit stones will increase greatly. ”

After listening, Xia Ren pondered for a moment and said: "We now have a spirit stone mine, we don't need to save spirit stones for the time being, and the most important thing is to increase the output of green spirit rice." ”

During Xia Ren's continuous inquiry, several people came to a wide plain, and at a glance, they were all square fields, neatly arranged on the plain, and the fields were full of cyan plants, all of which stood straight in the field, each of which was more than a meter high.

And each plant only has a string of rice ears hanging on the top, and each rice ear is full of cyan grains, about 50 of them.

Looking at these plants, Zhou Tai explained: "Your Highness, these are the plants that produce Qingling rice, and each plant can produce about 50 rice grains, but these rice grains are not small than ordinary rice grains, and the quality is also heavy, so 50 grains probably weigh about one or two." ”

After speaking, he continued: "Basically, 50 grains of Qingling Rice are enough for one cultivation in the Body Refining Realm, if it is the True Qi Realm, it will need more." ”

Xia Ren nodded, the effect of Qingling rice is good, but this output still needs to be improved, and with the improvement of the realm, the consumption of Qingling rice will also increase greatly.

"General Zhou, you are looking for a few suitable islands to specialize in planting Qingling rice, and in the future, this Qingling rice will be our strategic material, which can be used as a substitute for spirit stones, and can also be used as a means to motivate soldiers, and can be secretly exchanged for some important resources. ”

Zhou Tai clenched his fists, "The last general will obey the order." ”

Subsequently, Xia Ren followed Zhou Tai to inspect the various military camps, encouraged the soldiers, and distributed the materials he brought, and Xia Ren was ready to return to Haiyuan City.
