Chapter 991: The City of the Holy Son
In the huge temple, Leng Sheng slept peacefully, and the eight-year-old boy already had the appearance of several Zhuo, I don't know if it was because of being in the temple, Leng Zhuo always felt that his son had a sacred aura, and the faint coercion could be clearly felt.
It's no wonder that this little guy will be held in the palm of Dayue Miaoguo's hand, and the argument with Miao Luo has not yet come to a conclusion, Shi Anxiu, the queen of Miao Country who came in a hurry, and the great elder Mu Yue joined the controversy, I have to say that three women are in one play, and in the face of the three most powerful women in Dayue Miaoguo, Leng Zhuo is also a little overwhelmed.
However, Leng Zhuo is dead this time and wants to bring Leng Sheng back to his side to raise him for a few years, this is not only a matter of education, but also related to the future, as a father, he naturally hopes that his brothers will live in harmony, now he only has these two sons, and now there is no problem of competing for the reserve, when the time comes, one north, one south, brothers look at each other, this is Leng Zhuo's most desired result.
"Okay, I don't want to argue about this anymore, Sheng'er has to stay with me for a few years, and our Da Chu is not far from your Da Yue, if you ride a flying beast, it's just a two-day journey, and I don't want Sheng'er to come back!"
The third daughter is obviously not so relieved of Leng Zhuo's assurance, but seeing that Leng Zhuo is so resolute, Shi Anxiu, the queen of Miao State, also knows that if she persists, the two sides must be deadlocked, and now the Great Chu Kingdom is strong and strong, and the Dayue Miao Kingdom is also difficult to beat, especially now that the two countries are on good terms, they have been closely connected in many aspects, and if they really want to break up, the impact is not small.
What's more, now Miao Guo has a Chu army around him, a full 150,000 armored soldiers and horses, nominally this army is the Holy Son, but the Holy Son is only eight years old, this army must listen to the other party, if you really want to fight evil, Miao Guo is difficult to resist.
Shi Anxiu, as the queen of the Miao Kingdom, naturally couldn't be like Miao Luo, she thought more about it, so she took a step back on this issue and said: "The Holy Son can't leave the temple for a long time, so he has to go back to the temple every three months, once in March!
Leng Zhuo shook his head and said: "No, three months is too short, and in the past few years, Sheng'er has been taught by you all day long, and even my father is a stranger, so before Sheng'er becomes an adult, he will be by my side for at least eight months every year, four months, and return to Miao Country for two months, as for Sheng'er when he becomes an adult, Sheng'er will definitely take over the military power, and when the time comes, I will support him to expand his territory in the wild jungle!"
Hearing Leng Zhuo say this, the three daughters glanced at each other, in fact, what they were most worried about was that Leng Zhuo would take the Holy Son away and not send it back, and the three daughters were a little surprised to hear Leng Zhuo say that he would support the Holy Son to expand the territory.
"You also know that I have only one throne, Sheng'er is difficult to inherit my position because of his background, and I don't want to be biased, so as long as I help Sheng'er lay down a piece of the country in the wild jungle, so that I won't favor one over the other, and in the future, I hope that my two sons can be harmonious and look at each other, so I want them to communicate more together and cultivate brotherhood!"
Leng Zhuo said this, the third daughter also understood Leng Zhuo's good intentions, and if she was opposed, it would be a little unkind.
However, although the three daughters agreed, they also put forward a lot of conditions, such as arranging people to serve and protect the Holy Son, and they would often go to Vermilion Bird City to visit the Holy Son, etc.! Leng Zhuo had no objection to this, and the two sides had a consensus, and the next conversation was naturally much more brisk.
And after chatting about the Holy Son, the two sides didn't seem to have more topics, Leng Zhuo went out of the temple directly, in the Miao Capital City, there was a place where Leng Zhuo settled, and this was also the place where Tang Die lived, but after Leng Zhuo moved in, he learned that Tang Die was not there, but went to the newly occupied land, where a new city would be established, the City of the Holy Son, and the main force of Zhang Han's army was stationed there.
The area where the City of the Holy Son is located used to be a big tribe like the Dayue Miao Kingdom, but before the Suzaku War, the Dayue Miao Kingdom joined forces with Leng Zhuo and spent more than a year destroying it, and now three or four years have passed, but this city is still under construction, and the forest passage connecting the Red Earth City is also in full swing construction, once this road is opened, this will not be a wild wilderness.
On the second day of Miaodu, Zhang Han, who got the news, rode a flying beast here, but Tang Die did not show up.
"Your Highness!"
"General Zhang doesn't need to be polite, sit down, I've suffered you in the past few years!" Among the many summoned famous generals, Zhang Han was the earliest batch of generals, but compared to others, he has always been unknown, and most of the soldiers and horses under his command are barbarian slaves, and after that, he was sent to the wild jungle by Leng Zhuo, thinking about it, Leng Zhuo also felt that it was quite unfair to him.
"It's a lot of hard work, there is nothing missing here, and after the construction of the city of the Holy Son is completed, after the road is opened, this place will not lose to the towns in the north, and even surpass, after all, there are a lot of big mineral deposits here!"
"Well, I've been busy these days, so I haven't paid attention to your side, how much the City of the Holy Son has been built, how many roads have not been repaired, and how the exploration and development of those mineral deposits are
Zhang Han heard Leng Zhuo ask about this, but he was confident, obviously he had already prepared, and said: "Back to Your Highness, the construction of the city of the Holy Son has been completed, and it is estimated that it will be put into use by the end of this year, and it is preliminarily estimated that it can accommodate a population of 500,000, and the three Acropolis of Shengwei III, Shengwei VI, and Shengwei VIII have been completed, and now they have been stationed in the soldiers and horses, and several other Acropolis have also laid the foundation and are beginning to take shape, but it will take four or five years to build them!"
Leng Zhuo nodded, Leng Zhuo was already very satisfied with this progress, you must know that the city of the Holy Son was designed by Leng Zhuo personally for his eldest son, but it took Leng Zhuo more than three months, the city of the Holy Son is located between a continuous mountain, in the meantime, there is a river valley to figure out, the main city is built on a round stone mountain more than two hundred meters high, almost a mountain to build a city.
The city of the Holy Son is strategically located, thirty miles away there is a wide river flowing down the river, straight into the sea, and between the many mountains, there are several river valleys, with large areas of flat land, which can be used for farming, and these river valleys are also good passages, using the river valleys, there are already three main passages, one leads to the Weeping Blood Valley of Chuzhou, one leads to the Dayue Miao Kingdom, and one leads to the newly occupied tribal land.
According to Leng Zhuo's design, in addition to the main city of the Holy Son, there are also twelve acropolises built on the periphery, these acropolises are either stuck in the main road of the river valley, or they are near the river bank, or they are located on the edge of the huge mineral vein, these twelve acropolises can be said to be the gate of the city of the Holy Son, guarding the city of the Holy Son.
Because it is to build a city in the wild jungle and access roads, the progress of the siege is not fast, and the manpower used is more than 200,000, Zhang Han's ability to catch slaves is first-class, and after these people are obedient, they will be the first residents of the city of the Holy Son.
"Now that the passage to the Dayue Miao Kingdom and the Wu River Valley has been opened, it only needs to be expanded more before it can be put into use, and the passage to the Weeping Blood Valley is about 100 miles, and it is estimated that it will be completed by the end of the year!"
There are countless magical beasts in the wild jungle, wild beasts survive, and there are many small barbarian tribes that are still wandering, these are all threats, so on the road, every few miles have to build a village, one is for settling, and the other is to station soldiers and horses, which are used to patrol along the way and protect the chariots and horses.
However, as long as this road is opened, this land is not a wild and barren land, in terms of the rich mineral resources contained here, it will not be long before this place will flourish, and this passage will become prosperous and lively, and once the flow of people is formed, soon these villages will be upgraded to villages and towns, and continue to expand, not thirty or fifty years, this place will become a place of civilization.
"Well, once the road is opened, the materials from Dachu will be continuously transported, and then this place will be lively!"
"Well, in addition to the copper veins near the City of the Holy Son, there is also a Jinsha River Valley, a coal mine, and a mercury mine, these veins have been proven to have a lot of reserves after several years of exploration, and now they are mined in small batches, but our current manpower is a little insufficient, so we plan to start a medium-sized tribe recently!"
Repairing the city, opening roads, and opening mines, these all require a lot of manpower, especially when several large projects are started, and more than 100,000 or 200,000 people are scattered, in fact, every project is not much, Zhang Han has such an idea, Leng Zhuo is naturally supportive.
"You look at the things here, what materials do you need, just ask for it from the Military Aircraft Department, this time when you go back, I will send some people to help you, and the Red Clay Legion can also continue to expand, and strive to expand to 300,000 within two or three years, there are too many, and the logistics will be a little unsupportable!"
Leng Zhuo pondered for a moment, the Red Clay Legion is not short of soldiers, but it lacks generals who can fight well, and it seems that the talent distribution of the Red Clay Legion must be appropriately increased.
Zhang Han nodded and said: "We have also found a lot of river valleys that can be cultivated nearby, but there are few farmers who know how to farm, if the young master can immigrate some and teach those barbarian women to farm, it should be able to solve a large part of the grain and reduce the pressure on the rear!"
"Well, I remember, I'll let someone arrange it when I get back!"
The meeting with Zhang Han took an afternoon, and Leng Zhuo also had a detailed understanding of the city of the Holy Son, and Zhang Han has not been immersed in building the city in the past two years, and he has also spied on some of the surrounding barbarian tribes, and has also explored the surrounding mountains, rivers, valleys, and dangerous places, which have laid the foundation for future expansion and conquest.
As long as the City of the Holy Son is completed and the road connecting the Weeping Blood Valley is completed, after it is stabilized, it will definitely carry out a major expedition against the tribes in the south to gain more manpower and territory.
After sending Zhang Han away, Leng Zhuo went to the mansion of the queen of Miao Kingdom and had a dinner, but after the dinner, Leng Zhuo asked about the secret guards trained in Dayue Miao Kingdom!
