Episode 15 The Age of Change (1)
"Guys, when are we going to declare the state?" Arden asked faintly, glancing at everyone, but there was a hint of excitement hidden on his calm face. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
"Jianguo?!" many people gasped, as if they had been hit the head, and asked in surprise.
It is no wonder that many people are so surprised, Arden put forward the idea of establishing a mortal country, but it was only a plan put forward by a few people such as Linda when they formed the mortal army, and only a few high-level officials such as Arden knew about it, and now that Arden brought up this issue, everyone naturally felt very sudden.
"Yes! Founding the country! Guys, when we came to Xiaoyu County, we had nothing, but now we have completely occupied the territory of Xiaoyu County, the map area under our control is more than 100,000 kilometers, there are about two million people here, we also have a 10,000-strong Xiuzhen army, of course, we also have a high-level monk like Lin Da as the Dinghai Divine Needle, fully qualified to dominate one side! Not to mention that now the two countries of Guiyue and the aristocratic rebels are fighting to the death, isn't this a great opportunity for us to compete in the world? Isn't it the goal of our Blue Star Autonomous Mission to build a new world that conforms to our wishes and values?!" Captain Modern seemed to have agreed with Arden a long time ago, and agreed with the plan of nationhood, and first stood up to agree and said something inspiring.
"Yes! In this world, cultivators have ruled over mortals for many years, treating mortals in the world as ants, enslaving at will, and wantonly killing people if they are not satisfied, have we seen too little in this time? Now we want to build a country that belongs to mortals, that is, to save the common people in the world!" Dr. Kangnai also immediately said, looking like he had been prepared for a long time.
Hearing that the head of the convention and the two deputy heads of the group said this, and also came up with such an exciting reason, everyone was immediately convinced, and many people kept nodding their heads and saying yes, and Sonia and a few others who had long been unaccustomed to the people in the cultivation realm immediately agreed loudly.
But of course, there are voices of opposition.
"I think it's important to be cautious. Ladies and gentlemen, once we declare the founding of the country, in the eyes of the Gui royal family, it will be the same as the noble rebels, and it will be no different from treason. In this way, not only the Vietnamese army and the aristocratic coalition army are our enemies, but even the royal family has become our enemies. With the current strength of our autonomous mission, it should be the weakest side. Once the enemy has the opportunity to draw his hand against us, I am afraid that the consequences will not be so simple. Personally, I have reservations about the establishment of the state. Tang Long did not echo the crowd, but after a simple thought, he cautiously raised objections.
"Then if we don't build our own country, how can we protect the poor people affected by the war, and do we just let those cultivators slaughter mortals? It's a nightmare you'll never forget!" Sonia said angrily as she remembered the blood sacrifice she had seen along the way, clenching her fists and spilling out tears in her eyes.
"I didn't say I was against the founding of the country, I just felt that it was not the time to declare the founding of the country. Because our current strength is not enough to confront any of the three parties of Gui now. Instead of hitting the stone with an egg, it is better to first keep the light and cultivate the obscurity, secretly develop for a period of time, and when our strength is enough, it is not too late to declare the founding of the country!" Tang Long hurriedly said, for fear of being misunderstood by Sonya and the others.
But Sonia still insisted: "Since we want to build a country, what is the difference between announcing it earlier and announcing it later? You must know that if we don't take measures in time, we don't know how many civilians will be mutilated every day! If we take a superficial stance now, we will definitely get the support of all mortals, and our strength will be enhanced, why don't we do it?!"
The participants present immediately divided into two groups, one of which declared their support for the immediate establishment of the country, and the other part agreed with Tang Long's opinion. But a few others, including Linda, were silent, not knowing what they were thinking. The two gangs argued fiercely, and for a while the scene was a little difficult to control.
Seeing that everyone was arguing and clamoring over this issue, Arden, who presided over the meeting, could not help but feel a little gloomy, and he quickly shouted: "All right, everyone, be quiet!"
Arden's prestige was already very high, but he suddenly shouted loudly, which made the chaotic venue suddenly quiet. Seeing that everyone was suddenly silent, Arden said helplessly: "Everyone, the idea of building a country is only a preliminary idea we have put forward, not an arrangement that we have planned, whether we agree with the establishment of the country now or in the future, our purpose is to protect the mortals of the Gui Kingdom, and at the same time, it is also to safeguard the interests of our autonomous group. But what is good for us, this is the first thing to be clear, if we make a mistake in the strategic direction, not only will the timing be delayed, but also will suffer a catastrophe!"
After a slight pause, Arden suddenly turned to Linda and asked, "Linda! I saw you just now, I want to stop talking, I must have something in mind, you can tell me!"
Hearing Arden's sudden question, Linda was stunned for a moment, looked at Arden's expectant gaze, then smiled slightly, and immediately said: "Well, I think Captain Arden is right, we must not be too reckless in making decisions." In my opinion, it is not impossible to officially declare the founding of the country, but now is not the time, and I have a few thoughts to share. ”
Hearing Linda's words, Sonia frowned, Tang Long and the others were shocked, and Kang Nai and the others looked at Linda expectantly.
Linda analyzed: "First of all, I think Tang Long is right. We are now announcing the establishment of a mortal kingdom and want to protect the mortals of the world, which will definitely offend all the cultivators immediately, and put our Blue Star Autonomous Group in opposition to the cultivators of the entire Gui Kingdom. If the three forces use this as an excuse to join forces to attack us, we will definitely be in a very disadvantageous position. Don't forget, it's the ghosts and the organizations behind them who really want to slaughter mortals, and that's our real enemy!"
"But are we just going to watch mortals being slaughtered?!" Sonia asked reluctantly.
"Of course not! We're just not going to declare statehood for the time being, but it's not like we're going to cower and take no action. Linda said immediately.
"What Commander Al Deng said just now is right, now that the Gui Kingdom, the Yue Kingdom and the nobles are fighting inextricably, it is a great opportunity for us to compete for the world, occupy the territory, and dominate the side. However, under what pretext to use to raise troops and on which position to stand on, there is a big deal to say. Linda further analyzed.
"The Gui royal clan was defeated in the battle of Tianlun Peak and withdrew its troops, retreated to Xiangcheng, and the four nobles rebelled, and most of the country fell into the hands of the Yue Kingdom and the four clans, and they were already at a disadvantage. However, the main force of the Gui State army is still there, most of the middle and high-level monk forces are still intact, and there are also four or five counties still under their control, and it is not a small force to mobilize all of them. It is by no means so easy for the Vietnamese army and the aristocratic rebels to completely wipe out the Gui army and occupy all of Gui. ”
"In any case, the Gui royal family is still the orthodox ruler of the Gui country, which is at least temporarily the case in the hearts of the Gui people. And we are still nominally the levy corps of the Gui State, and we have a subordinate relationship with the royal family, so there is no objection at all. If we express our support for Guiguo, we will inevitably receive the support of Guiguo, and then we will clearly and justifiably get the support of the people of Guiguo everywhere. Moreover, now that Gui is weak, if we have our support, the plan to win the battle against the Vietnamese army and the noble rebels will be greatly increased. We can also take this opportunity to develop our strength vigorously!"
"In my opinion, the most important thing for us now is to get a good grasp of expanding production in all aspects and raise our overall strength. Externally, it announced its support for the Gui royal family, and made it clear that he stood with the royal family and sought the support of the royal family. When we have a certain strength, we will launch an attack on the surrounding counties and counties, and take down the areas of Gui that have fallen into the rebels of the four tribes and the Vietnamese army, and turn them into our territory, which is a legitimate thing in the name of protecting the country. But if the Gui army really asked us to go to Xiangcheng to support, we could deal with it. When our strength is sufficient, we will first raise troops to destroy the weakest aristocratic rebels, wait until the Gui army and the Yue army are both defeated, and then assist the Gui army to defeat the Yue army, and finally, destroy the Gui army in one fell swoop and get the whole world of Gui country!"
With these words, Linda actually proposed a new strategic plan.
Hearing Linda's analysis, Arden's eyes lit up, Connell nodded silently, and Schroeder and other supporters of the war suddenly realized. Everyone immediately expressed their support for Linda's plan, and drew inferences from one another, continued to study Linda's suggestions in depth, and soon made a development plan for the autonomous group for the next period of time. Under the overall arrangement of Arden, everyone was assigned a variety of tasks, and one after another orders were issued from the base of the Blue Star Autonomous Group, and Xiaoyu County became extremely busy again.
The next day, Shen Wen, the magistrate of Xiaoyu County, opened the granary to relieve the victims at the request of the Blue Star Autonomous Group. Watching bags of grain being transported out of warehouses and sent to refugee camps in various places, Shen Wen, the county magistrate, showed a helpless wry smile on his face.
These grains are the result of many years of accumulation in Xiaoyu County, but now the Shen family has stood in the same boat as the Blue Star Autonomous Group, and the strength of the Blue Star Autonomous Group is no longer enough for him to control, so naturally everything is based on the arrangement of the Blue Star Autonomous Group. However, since taking the big ship of the Blue Star Autonomous Group, the power of the Shen family has also been continuously expanded, in addition to Shen Hao, a large number of capable clansmen in the clan have been reused by the Blue Star Autonomous Group, serving in various factories, companies and even in the Blue Star Army. If the Blue Star Autonomous Group can continue to grow stronger, their Shen family will naturally rise as well, so Shen Wen not only has no opinion on any order of the Blue Star Autonomous Group, but fully supports it.
Hundreds of collective farms, large and small, were built overnight in various parts of Xiaoyu County, and all the refugees were resettled in collective farms. The Blue Star Autonomous Group sent a large number of people familiar with agricultural production techniques from the farms and enterprises under its jurisdiction to guide refugees in production, reclaim wasteland, grow grain, domesticate livestock, and so on. Soon, under the work of the refugees, almost all the wasteland that can be reclaimed in Xiaoyu County has been developed, and a wide grain field is all over the place, as long as it takes time, it will soon be able to produce a large amount of grain.
At the same time, the development of Xiaoyu County's scientific and technological level. The members of the Blue Star Autonomous Mission, who had escaped from the control of the cultivators, began to have the energy to carry out scientific and technological invention activities and make some relatively simple earth technology products. Soon, some simple electronic products were manufactured, such as electric lights, small radios, telephones, etc., and Xiaoyu County began to gradually enter the electrification period.
The Blue Star Autonomous Group began to recruit a large number of workers among the refugees, and after simple training, nearly hundreds of thousands of people entered the various factories of the Blue Star Autonomous Group, which supplemented the production of Xiaoyu County with sufficient labor force at the same time, and solved the way out for many refugees, with stable jobs, the refugees quickly stabilized, as long as after a period of adaptation, refugees from all over Guizhou will really integrate into Xiaoyu County.
With so many new workers, the factories in Xiaoyu County began to produce in full swing. The original factories began to expand frantically, and many new factories were built, and almost all of these factories were military enterprises, except for some of them for the production of fertilizers and daily necessities for daily life. All kinds of guns, artillery, ammunition and other equipment improved by the Blue Star Autonomous Regiment began to be produced in large quantities, and they were continuously equipped to all units of the Fan Army. The various departments of Xiaoyu County are doing their best to produce weapons, and the county can produce nearly 100 guns and five or six artillery pieces every day, but it is still difficult to meet the needs of the daily training and combat of the ordinary army.
Because at this time, under the leadership of Linda, the Van army once again underwent major changes. (To be continued.) )
