Chapter 19: The Miracle of Bokan (I)

Liu Yu, who had not slept all night and was still in good spirits, walked towards the teaching building with brisk steps. Life in the college is simple and fulfilling, every day is full of activities, and after completing a day's courses, Liu Yu did not choose to rest. The college's library and training ground are good places for him to relax every day.

The library of the college has a large collection of books, astronomy and geography, military politics, history and humanities, everything else, and Liu Yu will come here every day to read. The General History of the Empire is his favorite, which chronicles the ups and downs of the empire since its founding. The first emperor Liu Bang held a three-foot blade and slashed the lion man Yamamoto 50 on the shore of Changjin Lake to establish the Dragon Empire, which has gone through 3,000 years.

From the beginning of the difficult survival in the ravages of orcs and demons, to now there is a place to establish a country. I don't know how many ancestors have gone through the efforts of their ancestors to succeed each other and work hard to have a relatively stable life for ordinary people today. During these three thousand years, the Dragon Empire was attacked by orcs or demons every hundred years.

In the beginning, the entire continent was still under the rule of orcs and demons, and in order to compete for dominance of the continent, the orcs and demons fought for many years, and the continent was full of gunsmoke. The two sides did not pay enough attention to the human race, which was still very weak at that time, leaving a rare time and space for human development to develop. It was also when they were in the middle of all-out war that humans founded the Dragon Empire on a small land and held the Empire's choke point.

Wait until the war between the orcs and demons is over. After the demons retreated, the orcs were also greatly injured. After a year-long assault on humanity, the elite was depleted and unable to attack. Human heroes also paid a heavy price in this war. But he finally repelled the orcs and kept his living space.

After 500 years of recuperation, human beings have gradually developed. When the orcs attacked again, the humans were able to withstand the orc's attack with their strong fortifications. Just when the two sides were deadlocked, the human race gradually lost the initiative, and the distant demons took advantage of the opportunity of the orcs to attack the rear with all their strength and launched a surprise attack, burning the orcs' heavy supplies and occupying a large area of the orcs' land. At the same time, humanity seized the opportunity to attack on all fronts. In the case of food and grass, the orc army was disheartened and collapsed. Since then, a three-legged situation has been formed.

Humanity is weak and has always been on the defensive. Orcs and demons are relatively strong, and wars have been going on for three thousand years. Neither the orcs nor the demons dared to attack the humans with all their might without destroying their opponents, and the humans would take the initiative to help them survive the crisis when one of them was mortally threatened, thus forming a delicate balance. Neither side dared to launch an attack with all their strength to prevent the enemy from being attacked on the flank.

In this tripartite stalemate, mankind continues to make progress, and the land area is also expanding.

After more than 100 years of savings, one of the orcs or demons will become strong and wait for an opportunity to attack the humans. But there is never a chance to wipe out humanity. The development of mankind can only be delayed by the constant plundering of resources. Until 300 years ago, eight fortresses were built in the eastern provinces. The empire never expanded.

After reading "General History of the Empire", Liu Yu fell into deep thought. In the past three hundred years, the scale of the war between the demons and the orcs has become smaller and smaller, and the duration has become shorter and shorter. And there are more disturbances about human beings, and the two sides seem to have reached some kind of tacit understanding. On the other hand, human beings are still developing unhurriedly, and they don't seem to notice anything.

Two big things have happened in Bokan City recently. One was that the consul's office in the province of Boban put up a notice to recruit all skilled craftsmen. As long as you have a skill in exploration, smelting, casting, textile and construction, you can apply. The job title is then determined based on competency.

Another thing is that the Department of Engineering and the Department of Medicine were separated from the Bokan Military Academy, and on this basis, two professional colleges were established respectively, the Bokan Engineering College and the Bokan Medical College, and recruited students.

For a while, Bokan City was very lively, and a group of people were talking under the sign in front of the city gate from time to time. Two days ago, a blacksmith came to apply for a job, and he made a good knife on the spot, and the consul took a fancy to him, and he was immediately made a baron. Now he has one or two hundred people under his hands, and he is very angry. ”

"What you said is true, is there such a thing?" asked my friend with an envious expression.

The first to speak continued: "The information is absolutely reliable. I have a relative who works in the consul's palace, and he told me. According to him, the consuls now value these craftsmen very much, saying that they want to build Bokan City into the largest munitions supply base in the entire empire. The best weapons and armor for Imperial warriors. ”

"Then I'm going to apply for a job too, and I also have a skill. My friend shouted excitedly.

"Let's go, let's go now, maybe we can be made a nobleman. After saying that, the two left in a hurry.

Conversations like this are going on and on, and everyone is eager to try and look forward to a better future.

At the same time, outside the city of Bokan, a huge construction site is in full swing. Spacious factories rise from the ground, and on the Changqing River, boats come and go. On the banks of the river, the docks are being renovated and expanded, and the cargo unloaded from the ships is piled up.

A small team of exploration teams carrying various exploration tools is active in the territory of Bokan Province, and is carrying out exploration records of various resources in Bokan Province.

The enrollment of the two academies is also extremely hot, and many young people no longer regret that they were not admitted to the military academy, and these two academies provide them with a new stage to show themselves.

Everything was going on in an orderly manner, and Zhang Wenyu and Liang Shan became even busier. Guan Xing, as the consul of Bokan City, was busy with official affairs and had no more time to juggle these tasks. Zhang Wenyu was responsible for the construction of the construction site, and Liang Shan was responsible for the preparation of the two colleges.

During the construction of the construction site, Zhang Wenyu promoted two people. One is called Zheng Zhi and the other is Duan Ye. Zheng Zhi has a deep knowledge in architecture, from the beginning of the composition, excavation of the foundation. to the construction of the house, capping. to the exterior walls and interior decoration. Zheng Zhi has a complete set of processes, and the people under his command are divided into multiple types of work, some are responsible for drawing design, some are responsible for foundation construction, some are responsible for building walls, some are responsible for capping, some are responsible for painting, some are responsible for installation, some are responsible for supervision, and some are responsible for on-site coordination.

Duan Ye is good at blacksmithing, he is a craftsman himself, and after years of exploration and practice, he has developed his own unique method in forging. The blades he created were hard and durable, and the spine of the blade was flexible and elastic, and it was not easy to break. This greatly increases the service life of the sword.

Liang Shan was in charge of the preparatory work was relatively easy, and the teachers of the two academies were formed by the teachers of the original Bokan Military Academy. The enrollment process has been completed, and the results are still very satisfactory. What bothers Liang Shan the most now is the lack of teachers, and he has not been able to recruit a few suitable teachers so far.
