Chapter 1216: Burning the Wasteland
It had been two days since the group left the stockade, and finally on this day, when the sun pierced the thick fog, in the distance, the group saw the portals piled up with simple wood, as well as the watchtowers and beacons.
This is the foot of the mountain, and the military camp is on the mountainside.
A rough look at the watchtowers shows that there are about ten of them, and on each tower, there are two armorers with bows and arrows on their backs.
With this not too steep mountain as the center, where you can go up the mountain, a circle of nearly 500 meters has been cut down and burned, and the huge stones have also been chiseled, making the field of vision as wide as possible.
At first glance, everything looks very rough.
But Li Shan saw it, but nodded secretly, when he was young, he also went out to see the world and knew some truths.
Before he came, what he was most worried about was nothing else, it was the so-called General Yingtian, who was not worthy of his name, just a straw bale, and it seemed that the team was mighty, but he lacked control over the team, and the military style was loose.
But now it seems that although the construction of this place is hasty, in terms of momentum, it is not bad.
In broad daylight, the piles of bonfires under the lookout were still burning brightly, and the flames did not mean to decay at all.
And when the group approached the watchtower a hundred meters, the two armorers who had been walking in the front to lead the way stopped, and then, the gate opened, and a group of fifteen armorers poured out, and the armorers stopped ten meters away from them, and began to ask who they were.
After explaining the situation, the leader of the armor waved his hand, and immediately a person trotted back, about half an hour later, the two armor soldiers who had been leading the way, and the Li brothers, both came here, and after completing the step of recognizing the person, the group was led into the barracks.
Walking on the road, Li Shan's son Li Lin whispered in Li Shan's ear, saying that Ying Tianjun's rules were too complicated, and he was deliberately tossing, Li Shan did not speak, but he had already given birth to the feeling that he had come to the right place.
The rules for entering the camp seem cumbersome, but it shows that General Ying Tian has a good way of governing the army.
If there are so many people, they can't establish rules, and when the soldiers and horses grow in the future, wouldn't it be even more chaotic?!
After that, after crossing the sentry tower, a group of people went up along the mountain road, this mountain road is half natural, half is the day after tomorrow, very wide, but in some key places, but very narrow, it can be said that it is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and even, only a few people guard, it is enough to resist thousands of troops.
When I got to the place close to the mountainside, it was a relatively large flat land, and suddenly, it suddenly opened up, and showed a busy and lively scene.
There are about 1,000 people busy, more than 100 people digging the soil, more than 100 people and mud, and more than 100 people, burying the thick wood into the soil, and backfilling it with stones mixed with soil.
As a carpenter, Li Shan saw at a glance that these woods were wet and unusable, used to build houses, they would be deformed in three or five months, and they would begin to rot in one or two years.
However, thinking of the rumors, this team will enter the Southern Wilderness next year, and this place is just a transition, but it seems logical.
Their group was led to continue upward, but the person who led the way was changed, but the Li family brothers were still there, but it was to appease the emotions of the craftsman.
When I walked up a distance, I saw a large row of large houses that had been built, and on these houses, there were different characters and symbols, among which the symbols were to take care of those who could not read.
Farther away, in the backlit and windy ventilated area, you can still see rows of wooden shelves, on which there is a large amount of bright red animal meat being dried.
At the wooden shelf, you can clearly see that there are teams of armor soldiers, patrolling all the time, in order to prevent someone from stealing, but also to prevent birds and beasts from stealing.
And that shelf, you can't see the head at a glance, and how much dried beast meat there is on it is even more immeasurable.
Seeing this scene, not to mention the two young people, Li Lin and Li Li, even the two older people, Li Shan and Li Shi, couldn't help but hold their breath at this moment.
They had never seen so much meat in their lives.
At this moment, the last bit of doubt in their hearts was completely dispelled.
Sure enough, the legend is true, General Yingtian is indeed in response to the mandate of heaven, even the mountain gods, must be driven by it, because of this, Yingtianjun organizes hunting, and every time, a large number of prey can be harvested.
Before, the young people in the village went home and said that the meat in the barracks was piled up like a mountain, and many people still didn't believe it, but at this moment, seeing is believing, but people have to believe it!
In fact, earlier, there were rumors in the stockade that General Ying Tian was a defeated army, where could the military food come from to support a long stay in the mountains? !
If you want food, you can only loot!
What to say, General Ying Tian, is actually a wolf ambition.
But now, seeing this "Roshan", the rumors are naturally self-defeating.
With so much meat, if you really want to exchange it for food, how much rice and noodles can you exchange?!
Even, there is so much meat in the Ying Tianjun in front of him that he can't eat it at all, and even more of it is used to dry it, sure enough, those who joined the army said that there was endless meat in the army every day, and it was not a lie.
……
On the top of the mountain, Zhao Cheng looked at the clouds and mist on the horizon, and his heart was clear and clear.
Looking at the world from a different perspective and looking at the picturesque rivers and mountains is also interesting.
Nearer, with his eyesight, he could clearly see that a fire had been ignited on a nearby mountain.
The hill was nameless, and the trees were tall enough to be cut down and used for construction, and the remaining shrubs, not tall enough, were waiting for a fire.
This is naturally Zhao Cheng's order.
He's burning the wasteland!
Indeed, he combined the advanced knowledge of the "modern" world in this copy in his memory with the combination of the two to create a beast-trapping medicine with extreme potency, which allowed him to rely on the beasts accumulated in the mountains to temporarily not lack military rations.
But in fact, this is a kind of exhaustive fishing, although the mountains and forests are very large, and thousands of people are thrown into them, and even the waves cannot be flooded.
Under normal circumstances, the ecology of mountains and forests is not so fragile, not to mention, even if the number of people increases tenfold, it can be fed.
But the reality is that the soldiers and horses under Zhao Cheng's command have a limited range of activities, and it is impossible to run too far to hunt, and besides, he hunts with drugs, which is equivalent to extinction, and the ecology of the place has no time to breathe and recover.
Therefore, it is imperative to open up wasteland and cultivate land.
And how to plant it, he already has a plan.
He intends to use Taoism to make chemical fertilizers in this world.
In fact, he had already sent people to search for suitable ores a long time ago, and in fact, he had long known that the location of the ore was just for show.
Calculate the time, at this point, those who are looking for stones should also return.
