Is 30,000 people enough to build a country?

Enough.

The countries of the Western Regions, with a population of only more than 1,000, are known as the country.

But Zhang Qi felt that it was not possible.

Coming from a country with a population of more than a billion people, he can't do a child's play that just 30,000 people dare to claim the country.

Is there a shortage of people in this world?

Lack.

Just like the Northeast Plain, where Zhang Qi is now, there are not enough people of 200,000 people in the millions of square kilometers of land in Daze.

But there seems to be no shortage of it.

As long as Zhang Qi wants to, he can turn the 30,000 people under his command into 100,000 or 200,000.

Now he is planning to do just that.

Inside the royal court's tent.

Wang Li, Ying, Hu Shui, and the three of them were dressed in armor and waited for someone to arrive.

It had been ten minutes since they received the order, and Zhang Qi didn't let them wait long.

The moment the two female soldiers lifted the curtain, they strode into the tent.

He walked towards the upper seat, unfastening his cloak as he went.

"Eagle!"

"Inferior!"

While walking to the upper seat, Zhang Qi directly opened his mouth and ordered.

"Pass on my order, 1,247 people from your department will stay in the royal court to guard the safety of the surrounding area! (Listen to Hui more.) ）”

When passing by the eagle's side, Zhang Qi whispered.

"The last general commands!"

After receiving the letter thrown by Zhang Qi, Ying didn't say a word and got up to leave.

"Wang Li, Hu Shui."

Zhang Qi sat on the upper seat, his eyes were slight.

"The last general!" (In!) ）

"Prepare all the troops and horses, carry bows and crossbows, one person and three horses, three days of food and grass, wait for orders, and go with me on the march!"

"No!" (Command!) ）

The expressions of the two were a little excited, they hadn't fought for more than two months, and this time they could finally make contributions again!

After bowing down and receiving the order, they left the tent and returned to their respective barracks to begin to prepare their men.

After Wang Li's command absorbed more than 1,500 soldiers, Hu Shui's cavalry archers also expanded to 500.

This time with 2,000 people, Zhang Qi plans to personally recruit, with him, the army will not lack food and grass, and with him, every time he breaks through a tribe, the army will not be dragged down by the baggage.

As for those who have plundered

A small number of them will be carried together, and they will show miracles to expand the army while fighting, and when there are more women and children, then they will be separated and brought back.

This time, Zhang Qi wanted to capture the population while advancing in the direction of the Han land.

It's April now, and if Zhang Qi remembers correctly, the time of the Mayi conspiracy was in June or July, and at this time, most of the forces of the Han Dynasty had been transferred to the vicinity of Mayi, and there should not be too many troops on the border.

Well, don't get me wrong, Zhang Qi didn't want to steal a hand of the Han Dynasty at this time, but he wanted to get in touch with some border generals of the Han Dynasty, Taishou.

The border army understands everything, as long as the interests are big enough, there will never be a shortage of people who like to raise self-respect.

It's like. General Fei, you said yes.

Li Guang, who took turns to be the Taishou of the five counties in the north, said that he had no interests with the grassland people, and he didn't believe it when he killed Zhang Qi.

And the most important ring of Zhang Qi's territory, the Liaohe Bay estuary, is still in the hands of the Han Dynasty.

If he can't defeat the two counties of Liaodong and Liaoxi, then Zhang Qi's navigation industry can only go all the way east and climb countless mountains to find a suitable outlet to the sea.

Therefore, he had to think of a way to accumulate enough strength while the Han Dynasty was fighting with the Xiongnu, and then take Liaodong County in one fell swoop and establish Shanhaiguan in advance.

It's just that this time, Shanhaiguan is in the direction of the Han side.

Fewer people!

There are too few people!

Thinking of his territory, Zhang Qi was a little anxious again, and he couldn't wait to immediately subdue the two clans of Fuyu and Sushen, and then absorb the population.

With a look in his eyes, Zhang Qi shouted at the already empty court tent: "Let Naqi organize a 100-person medical team to go with the army."

Prepare the map and set off early tomorrow morning! ”

"No!"

The female soldiers who were always guarding outside the king's tent went out according to the order.

Zhang Qi closed his eyes, and a few seconds later he disappeared into the king's tent and appeared in the hall of the lord of the riding and slashing world.

Walked out, got on the horse, and Zhang Qi went straight to the dock.

It's been half a month, and it's been a year since he rode and chopped the world, and he wondered if the dockyard could get a qualified ship out, even if the three-masted galleon was not capable of building it now, what about the large river boat?

The horse's hooves were in a hurry, and the horses galloped wildly for half an hour, and Zhang Qi's hot-blooded horse stopped steadily at the door of the dock built on the edge of the Diku River.

Three or two people at the door were boiling rubber and paint, Zhang Qi knew that most of them were in the dock, and after Yang Disheng led the entire research team, the efficiency was much higher than before.

"Your Majesty!"

Zhang Qi dismounted, and several wolf cubs guarding the boiler at the door saluted like Zhang Qi.

"Is Dickson in there?"

"Director Yang is here."

"Okay, you don't have to worry about me, just do it yourself."

Zhang Qi waved his hand and walked into the dock.

From the beginning of the project to the present, in the past few years in the world, the dock has been decent, the half-finished ship bones, all kinds of wood are placed everywhere in the dock, in front of these things, there are people in twos and threes measuring data.

"Dickson."

Zhang Qi saw Yang Disheng at a glance, and stepped forward to greet him.

"Master."

Seeing that it was Zhang Qi, Yang Disheng quickly saluted, and the people around him also saluted.

"Your Majesty!"

Zhang Qi waved his hand for everyone to continue, and he grabbed Yang Disheng and walked towards the other door of the dock.

The gate was facing the Tiku River, and the ground was all sloping towards the river, with a considerable slope, and there was already a large ship in the river that looked very close to a three-masted galleon.

"I ask you, if I ask you to build a ship that can sail in such a river in a hundred days, is it possible?"

Zhang Qi went straight to the point.

Yang Disheng's brows tightened.

He didn't dare to slack off at Zhang Qi's request: "Master, if you just want a big ship that can sail, I can put together one for you at any time, after all, there are semi-finished products and finished products, but master, look at that one." ”

Yang Disheng pointed to the boat in the river: "In the experimental stage, it only sailed for two hours, and the bilge was flooded, and after the sail fell, under the action of the wind, the mast only lasted for twenty minutes. ”

Looking at the big ship with an intact appearance, Zhang Qi frowned: "So, no play?" ”

Yang Disheng thought about it seriously and nodded: "No play!" ”

"If the owner just wants a small boat, we can build it in a short time, but a big boat will take at least ten years!"

Zhang Qi closed his eyes, even if there is a talent like Yang Disheng, it is still so difficult to build a large ship from scratch, Zhang Qi can't help but want to go to Handi again, there, there are many talents!
