The Jingjue army and the Royal Army directly led by Ye Qinglin seem to have 30000 troops, but they are all pieced together. It''s easy to make a surprise attack, but it''s hard to get anything cheap in front of veterans like Zhang Xiong, Zhang Jun and Kong Peng.
At present, we can only take advantage of the situation that it is difficult for the rebels to fully control the Pinglu oasis and the vast sand sea two thousand miles away from Montenegro. The Jingjue capital guard and the Ye Royal Army also seize the time to rest and recover their vitality.
Chen Hai still hopes to lure the rebels to attack across the vast sand sea. Only when they wait for work with ease can they have a greater chance of winning.
Otherwise, even if the situation here settles down first, we need to cultivate and support the forces against Zhang''s rebels in Pinglu oasis. After we have a certain grasp, we will lead 30000 or 40000 elite to directly insert into Pinglu oasis, which is the chance to win or lose with Zhang Xiong, Kong Peng and other rebels.
Now we still need to do some basic operations.
In the past, Chen Hai wanted to send several survey teams to survey the underground strata near Montenegro to verify his conjecture. Originally, it took two or three years to do this, but at this time, he had the cultivation. When GE Xuanqiao came in the later stage of entering the Taoist realm, many things were simple.
Chen Hai doesn''t hold any position in the newly established jingjuedau palace guard. He also wants to get out and verify his speculation as soon as possible.
Once it is verified that the sand sea underground near Montenegro is a large rock stratum that can prevent the infiltration of streams and rivers, they can start the diversion of streams and rivers this year and gradually expand the oasis area near Montenegro in the next year.
This is the fundamental reason why Jingjue capital guard can really take root in the depths of the sand sea and implement the government soldier system.
Even if ye succeeded in restoring the country in the later stage, ye Qinglin could not delimit a land of water and grass in the Pinglu oasis to give a foothold to the Jingjue capital guard.
Chen Hai and Ge Xuanqiao spent nearly two months touching the sand sea around Montenegro, and finally confirmed that there was a whole concave black sandstone layer within 300 miles around Montenegro, with a depth of between three and 50 meters.
If the sand layer of the overburden is removed, it will be found that the surrounding area of Montenegro is like a shallow trough basin surrounded by mountains, and more than ten oases in the periphery are just the main peak of the annular mountains in the periphery of the shallow trough basin.
Chen Hai and Ge Xuanqiao returned to Baishiyu with this conclusion. In addition to Dong Ning and ran Hu, Han Qingyuan, Han Jian and Guo Hongchen, who wanted to lead their people to take root here, were even more excited. At this moment, they could understand the significance of this verification, but they were still very confused: "It''s not too difficult to do it. Why didn''t anyone think of doing it before except the national envoy?"
Chen Hai smiled and didn''t want to explain anything.
Yanzhou''s civilian society is essentially an agricultural civilization. In the depths of the desert of Jinzhou, the combination of animal husbandry and farming makes the civilization of the civilian society even lower than that of Yanzhou. Although the Zong valve, Zong gate, refining utensils and the research on Rune array in Yanzhou and Jinzhou are quite developed, it has nothing to do with the civilian society.
It is this huge estrangement that limits the thinking of many people.
After verifying that the underground of Heishan is indeed a stack trough rock stratum, what to do next is logical.
Jingjue capital''s protectors still have to move back to Montenegro. The simple city stronghold built in Baishiyu is handed over to the Western Qiang Royal Army led by Ye Qinglin, so that more Ye''s remnant forces who fled to the north can be recruited nearby.
Next, in addition to diverting the cut-off streams, rivers and large and small lakes formed by Yongquan to the inner side of Montenegro step by step in the peripheral oasis, we should also find water veins near Montenegro, break through the rock stratum, dig more spring wells, and speed up the process of shallow trough rock stratum water storage, so as to breed more large-scale plants and trees as soon as possible.
After two months of discussion and research, the Jingjue capital guard also came up with a plan for the implementation of the government military system recognized by everyone.
Jingjuedau protectorate plans to set up 50 military houses with the integration of soldiers, agriculture and animal husbandry on the basis of many tribes.
In addition to 12 Military houses in moyue lake and 24 in Montenegro, Jingjue capital guard house has also set up three to five military houses in green states such as jinxiangling, heifalcon cliff and guhuoshan, so as to bring many tribes, slaves and horse thieves into custody as soon as possible.
Each military mansion is staffed with guards ranging from 200 to 500. In addition to farming and grazing in peacetime, training in leisure time and assembly in wartime, they are also responsible for building military mansion outposts. At the same time, Dong Ning plans to allocate 50 black feather giant vultures and corresponding imperial vulture sharp soldiers to each military mansion.
To do so, on the one hand, is to strengthen the contact between zhuzhechong mansion and Jingjue capital guard mansion.
After all, only fierce spirit birds such as black feather giant vultures can quickly run two or three thousand kilograms of goods over a thousand miles, and can also monitor the enemy situation in the depths of the desert. All this will help to strengthen the control of jingjuedu guard over its subordinates.
At the same time, the feeding cost of each black feather giant vulture is apportioned to the lower military house, so that the black feather giant vulture can prey on its own in a wider range in the depths of the desert.
Otherwise, a hundred black feathered giant vultures will be able to eat all the Jingjue palace guards.
Of course, the Jingjue capital guard will also provide spiritual medicine, armor and war equipment for the following.
After the implementation of the government troops system, jingjuedau guard house can have more than 23000 guards, while the standing troops of jingjuedau guard house are controlled below 5000.
In this way, in addition to sufficient labor force for farming, animal husbandry and water conservancy transformation, Jingjue is not as terrible as before, even if there is still a gap.
In addition to a small number of more than 1000 craftsmen recruited from Zhuzhai to ensure that the military mansion has certain agricultural tools, armor repair, outpost construction and water conservancy construction capacity, most of them are concentrated in Heishan city and compiled into the Shaojiang mansion directly under the Jingjue capital guard mansion.
Jingjuedau Prefecture can not rely on Hexi''s assistance without limit, and the agricultural and animal husbandry output of magic Moon Lake and Montenegro is too limited, so we can only find ways to make up for the gap in terms of minerals and manufacturing.
Chen Hai cleaned many thief strongholds and seized more than 5000 kg of xuantai refined iron before and after. This is not accidental. In fact, the black sandstone layers of Heishan and magic Moon Lake are rich in black sand refined gold and xuantai refined iron.
In addition to forcing them to build armours and cities, the horse thieves kidnapped so many slaves. Another purpose is to mine and smelt black sand refined gold and xuantai refined iron from ore veins.
There are still a few veins that can produce xuantai refined iron in Heishan and magic Moon Lake, but in the past, the process of smelting xuantai refined iron in zhuthief stronghold was too backward and the output was very limited. Dong Ning planned to invite two craftsmen from juquanling.
If Montenegro can refine 5000 or 6000 Jin of xuantai refined iron every year, it can make up for a big deficit.
"And I want you to write a letter to juquanling and mention it..."
After Guo Hongzhi and others discussed the matter and left, Dong Ning said to Chen Hai.
"If you write to Zhou Jingyuan and Zhao wuhui, they will not refuse you," Chen Hai said with a smile. "This is not the time to return to juquanling. There is no need to write a letter to avoid unnecessary interference to them."
"What kind of person are you? Why don''t you want to stay and help me?" Dong Ning looked at Chen Hai''s face and couldn''t resist the impulse to reach out and touch the scar on his face.
"Both Ye''s family and the people of Western Qiang need a Jingjue lady who can be loyal to this land. Only such a Jingjue lady can be worthy of their loyalty or fighting side by side. What they expect is not a Jingjue lady who has become a vassal of Dong''s family or others. This is the key for me, as an envoy of the state of Dayan, to never serve in the Jingjue Du protectorate." Chen Hai said with a smile, "besides, even without me, you have done very well."
"No one can help me, I can only insist on biting my teeth alone." Dong Ning said with deep resentment.
Chen Hai also smiled in his heart. Now there are many people with mixed mouths. He has to find a chance to tell Dong Ning some secrets and things alone.
Dong Ning wants to preside over many matters related to the relocation of Jingjue capital and Jingjue army to Heishan city. At this time, Heishan city is too simple and needs to be built later. However, Chen Hai will not pay attention to these trivial matters and returns to Heishan to find Ning chaner in advance.
Ge Xuanqiao is sitting in Baishiyu at this time. Ge Xuanqiao is also the only person who can make Ning chaner afraid.
Afraid of being seen through by GE Xuanqiao, in addition to the necessary contact, Ning chaner would rather stay far away from Baishi valley. During this time, she went back to Montenegro alone and opened up a cave where she secretly repaired in the depths of the desert by borrowing several caves on the north slope of Montenegro. During this time, Chen Hai and Ge Xuanqiao visited the sand sea near Montenegro, while Ning chaner basically stayed there to study and study pills.
As soon as Chen Hai stepped into the barren back mountain of Montenegro, he vaguely heard a fierce cry from the mountainside. He flew to Ning chaner''s cave. The cry from the mountainside became clearer and clearer. He knew that Ning chaner was testing the medicine with prisoners such as Zhou Datong.
He was ruthless enough. When he heard the scream, he hesitated and felt ashamed at the bottom of his heart.
Zhao Ying, Han cainiang''s daughter, stood in front of the cave with a pale face. She couldn''t bear to see Zhou Datong and other prisoners ask Ning chaner to take the medicine, but the scream that almost tore people''s hearts was also a kind of torture to her ears.
"If you don''t want to hear this cry, I''ll tell you the meditation potential!" Chen Hai smiled, stretched out his finger on Zhao Ying''s bright forehead, directly condensed the secret shape of the meditation potential into her divine consciousness, turned it into a picture roll, and penetrated into her mind from the center of her eyebrows.
Zhao Ying has just begun to build a foundation with Ning chaner. Chen Hai enters the secret map of meditation potential into the depths of her mind. It can only condense a very short number of moments, which will disappear in a short time.
After all, Zhao Ying is not a strong person in the Mingqiao environment. She can lock this secret picture with hidden meaning into the sea forever. She can''t remember too much in such a short time, but she is much better than others. The follow-up depends more on her own understanding.
"Thank you, Ambassador..." Zhao Ying murmured. She didn''t dare to look Chen Hai in the eye.
According to the truth, she and her mother are in front of this person''s woman, not to mention that her mother has an unclear relationship with this person, and she won''t know where she is in front of this person for a while.
Chen Hai didn''t expect this thing to go up. In just two or three months, Zhao Ying has opened a mysterious pulse, which can be regarded as laying a strong foundation for future cultivation. On the one hand, Ning chaner is likely to test her medicine.
