Chapter Ninety-Six Preparations, Expedition Begins!
In the next few days, Zhao Jun stayed in the barracks according to the whole thing, buried himself in this large pile of documents, and began the compilation of translation dictionaries.
The importance of this translation dictionary is not low at all, Yunzhou County must be to mark that land, but the problem of language barrier is destined to become a huge gap between the two sides, and it will also cause a huge obstacle to Yunzhou County's rule over that land in the future.
With this translation dictionary, it is equivalent to having the foundation of communication, according to the dictionary and then learning from the other party in the way of text communication, you will soon understand their language.
Then the communication barrier will not exist, and when Yunzhou County takes that land, it will be able to rule that land smoothly.
Sometimes language is the biggest obstacle to unification, and you don't even know what small actions the other party is doing behind your back.
And once you speak the language, the other party's secret to you will be greatly reduced.
After nearly half a month of retreat, Zhao Jun finally completed the compilation of the translation dictionary.
During the compilation of the translation dictionary, a major event also happened in Yunzhou City, that is, the road to the plain was finally completely completed, and the rest of the vanguard sent to investigate before also returned, and at the same time, they brought the most complete city information in that area to Yunzhou County, so that Yunzhou County had a relatively complete understanding of that plain.
As soon as the road is completed, it is naturally impossible for the people who built the road before to leave them to fend for themselves, so once a large number of people have no livelihood, it will be a big problem.
Under the arrangement of the Yunzhou County Guard, these former road builders were successively converted into logistics people, who would be engaged in transporting materials for the escort army, giving them a livelihood on the one hand, and on the other hand, the huge logistics required by the escort army were also supported.
So many civilians were able to quickly and massively transport huge amounts of military supplies to the front lines of war.
After the road was built, the Yunzhou County Guards began to prepare for the war, because all kinds of military supplies were prepared in advance, what they had to do was to transport all the prepared materials to the front line.
At the same time, in addition to the remaining 5,000 escorts, the remaining 20,000 escorts, plus nearly 50,000 mercenaries, will be the main force of this war, and it is precisely when the material transportation reaches half that it will arrive at the front line and start this campaign.
Speaking of 50,000 mercenaries, I have to talk about the fact that Yunzhou County allowed those tribes in Yunzhou County to plunder the Tatar population outside the county in order to find out and let them go.
After several years of plundering, the tribes of Yunzhou County have accumulated a huge cavalry, and they can still rely on human trading to support the extra cavalry of the tribe, but after their plundering in the past five years, there are no large-scale tribes near Yunzhou County for a long time, and those scattered small tribes are not worth grabbing even if they can't grab a few people, and the big tribes have long been robbed by them.
A little farther away, it is closer to the core area of the Tatars, and the strength of the Tatars there is not comparable to those Tatar tribes near Yunzhou County, and they don't have the courage to rob people anywhere.
As a result, the huge number of cavalry raised by this has become a burden on the tribes, and they cannot afford to raise it at all.
However, when Yunzhou County was about to conquer new lands and recruit mercenaries as coercive servants for the escort army, the tribal leaders instantly found a way to maintain these cavalry.
Let them go to mercenaries!
As a result, as soon as a recruitment notice came out from the county guard's office, nearly 50,000 soldiers were immediately recruited for the escort army.
And when Zhao Jun finished translating the dictionary and went out of customs, the transportation of materials had already completed half of the estimated quantity.
The officers and men of the army began to pull out.
After handing over the dictionary to the civilian soldiers in the army to translate it, Zhao Jun returned to the palace and began to coordinate the mobilization of various materials.
With his joining, the material transfer link that was originally a little obstructive was dredged in an instant, and the speed of the entire material operation was at least thirty percent faster.
By the time 20,000 guards and 50,000 servants arrived at the front, the supplies for the early stage were almost ready.
The armies began to replenish their equipment, the wartime dry rations compressed biscuits, and the latest 30-round repeater replaced the original 20-round repeater.
Even the steel armor that was originally strong in defense has been replaced with the newly developed alloy armor, which is a higher level in terms of defense, and the resistance of the alloy armor to blunt weapons is far better than the original fine iron armor step armor, and it can withstand more damage.
Speaking of which, the appearance of this alloy armor is also full of drama, and one of the apprentices in the iron-smelting workshop accidentally mixes various ores together while dozing off, and finally forges a new alloy.
After learning the news, the workshop began to investigate everything that day, the various ores in front of the apprentice, and then used the exhaustive method to restore the formula of this alloy, which led to the emergence of the latest alloy armor.
After replenishing the supplies, the armies made a slight correction, and began to march towards the mountains and forests that had not been cleared in the end, which was proposed not to be opened in order to prevent the other side from discovering it in advance, but the remaining few hundred steps would not stop the advance of the army, and it did not matter.
There was no war mobilization in this battle, and before setting out for the battle, the leaders of each squad had explained clearly to all the team members the importance of this war and the benefits it could bring to Yunzhou County.
The new land must be the first of the soldiers they have beaten down to participate in the partition, and this alone is enough to make all the soldiers who are eager for the land glow with fighting spirit!
Land, what a wonderful word!
That's the foundation of survival, and there's vast tracts of arable land waiting to be taken!
Everyone is prepared to fight hard, as long as they fight anywhere, even if they die in battle, their families will get the land they rely on for survival!
As the army marched, the last few hundred steps of the obstacle were cleared, and then nearly 70,000 Yunzhou counties officially set foot on this land!
At this time, just in time for the winter wheat to ripen, the golden wheat is swaying in the fields, and the fields are harvested by natives from time to time.
And the sudden appearance of this army of 70,000 instantly frightened the natives who were harvesting wheat.
They could no longer care about harvesting wheat, so they threw down the stone sickle in their hands and ran towards the city.
And the moment he saw this large piece of golden wheat, the entire Yunzhou County, except for those coercion soldiers who had lived in the grassland for generations, all the Song soldiers were crazy, and their eyes instantly turned red, the red was scary, and the red made people feel terrible!
"Kill!"
There was no superfluous nonsense, just a killing word that I didn't know who shouted, and the next moment the sky was full of crossbow arrows covering the fleeing natives, and in the blink of an eye, only a few hundred hedgehogs were left motionless.
The army ignored them, leaving the people to clean up the battlefield, and the rest of the soldiers reloaded their crossbow arrows, and rushed towards the city with red eyes!
Where they were taken, they could be considered to have a real foothold in this land, and they could start the official conquest.
And the city they chose was none other than Garitus!
