After sending Yang Qiaoer and yinglei''s mother and son away, Chen Hai calmed down. Every day, in addition to deducting more subtle secret prohibitions and studying more precise war equipment structures, his more important work is to promote the construction of the defense line of yuchengling.
After more than half a year''s migration, the 400000 poor slaves handed over by the various departments of Tuoba and some Heiyan troops who have small families have also successively moved to the cities along the Yandang lake for resettlement. In addition, the influx of the landless poor in Tianshui and Qinchuan and the criminals exiled from Yanjing have led to the population of Hengshan, Yandang and Tongkou in less than three years, It soared to a scale of five million.
At this time, Tianji learning palace and Longxiang army still exchange production materials from all over the country to the greatest extent, build water conservancy and reclaim wasteland along Yandang lake, and Chen Hai still promotes to strive for self-sufficiency in grain production in Hengshan Prefecture this year.
In this way, the foundation of the Dragon army in the north of Tianshui county is really solid.
In addition, Chen Hai also set up subordinate Taoist academies of Tianji learning palace in Yandang, Hengshan, Tongkou and other cities and deep in the Western foot of Qintong, mainly recruiting and cultivating disciples from the children of the poor who moved north and Heiyan army''s pawn''s family.
In particular, the potential of the remnants of the black Yan army is too strong.
Nearly 300000 families of the remnant of the black Yan army, including 40000 teenagers aged 10 to 14, have been the reserve force for the remnant of the black Yan army and Yan Yuan from the beginning.
Yan Yuan led the remnant to the north. Although there was no hard battle, under the extremely harsh environment, severe cold and famine, more than 100000 people were lost, but most of these reserve forces were preserved.
Moreover, these teenagers have a certain foundation in martial arts since they joined the army with their parents when they were young, and the basic martial arts copied by Chen Hai into the military training record are unified.
These young people, as well as more than 60000 young soldiers between the ages of 14 and 18 in the Heiyan army, were the first to move south at the beginning of the year and arranged to go to various Taoist academies to practice more systematic martial arts, metaphysical methods, heavenly puppets and military skills.
The transactions with various valves about blood devil puppets were also completed by the end of summer.
Like Dong, Miao and other valves were unwilling to hand over their share of the output of quenched gold and iron in Juquan Lake in the next two years. In the end, they chose quenched gold and iron plus other materials and cultivation resources to trade the 400 blood devil puppets in the hands of Tianji school palace.
After the completion of this transaction, in the first half of the whole year of emperor Yitian''s 83 years, the Dragon army obtained nearly 15 million kilograms of quenched gold and iron; Grain and ordinary wrought iron materials are hundreds of millions of kilograms and hundreds of thousands of cattle and horses. In addition, there are extremely precious refining materials such as red pulp copper, sand Chen gold and tungsten gold, and primary miraculous drugs such as red blood ointment and Buyuan powder, which are almost as much as a million kilograms. In addition, there are nearly 1000 low-level xuanbing spirit armor.
The materials obtained from this batch looked extremely huge, but they were almost consumed by the end of August.
It is unimaginable that the resources consumed by compiling and training a strong army and resettling so many displaced people in such a short time are huge. Fortunately, although the remnants of the black Yan army are dilapidated, they still have some material foundation, and do not need to rely entirely on the supply of the Dragon army.
There are some things that we all know. Especially how can such a huge amount of material and population flow between Shouyang mountain and Yu Cheng Ling be able to hide the eyelid of various valves?
In the three camps of the Suwei army, fengxiao, Longxiang and Huxiao, fengxiao and Huxiao have 300000 elite, but the Longxiang camp has only 50000 troops and horses. At this time, even if Chen Hai incorporated the remnant of the black Yan army, he only managed to balance fengxiao and Huxiao, which makes the court, except the king of England, the crown prince Yingdan and the princes and ministers of various valves, He frequently attacked Chen Hai in the imperial court and colluded with traitors. Wen Boyuan and other Yanran palace departments can''t accuse Chen Hai of anything.
There is Wenboyuan dragging there. Even if others get the real evidence, they can''t convict Chen Hai.
Hexi sent troops to take such a big thing as Hexiang county. Chaotang didn''t say a few nonsense. What else can we do with Chen Hai?
Chen Hai was also at this time when a large amount of quenched gold iron was surplus. In the secret workshop deep in the Western foot of Qintong, he cast a large number of new quenched gold heavy front arrows for heavy bore ammunition.
In addition to supplying nine valves with 400 blood devil puppets, Chen Hai also has 600 blood devil puppets in his hand. Through some secret channels, they have successively flowed into second and third rate forces such as huayangzong, Wu family and Musashi army in exchange for some resources to supplement the shortage of Longxiang army.
A blood demon puppet is equivalent to a ground level war soldier, which is naturally valuable. Only in this way can the Tianji learning palace directly incorporate a large number of refined Tianji war weapons into the remnants of the Longxiang army and the black Yan army and secretly send them to the second battalion of the Tieya army still in Yaoshan at this time, rather than selling them in exchange for other resources.
The number of heavy bore crossbows compiled by the Dragon army did not increase to 100 until the end of August; It was not until the end of August that the total number of light and heavy Tianji chariots increased to 100.
In addition to the cumbersome military and political affairs, one thing Chen Hai focuses on is to build a more powerful super crossbow.
He envisioned that the combination of three to four arrow array boxes, the extension of the crossbow chamber by three times, combined with the special armor breaking heavy front arrow, could greatly increase the range and penetration performance by more than three times on the basis of the heavy chamber crossbow.
However, the combination of multiple arrow array boxes needs absolute synchronization, and a new array prohibition needs to be studied to achieve this step. Such a super bore crossbow, with the complexity of array prohibition inside the arrow array box, is equivalent to a mysterious top-grade magic weapon.
The materials of the crossbow chamber and the armor breaking heavy front arrow need to be refined with more advanced precious gold and iron such as sand Chen gold and refined black iron. Even the armor breaking heavy front arrow needs to be additionally engraved with armor breaking runes and seals. No matter the time or cost, it is beyond the reach of ordinary heavy bore crossbows.
When Chen Hai was in Yaoshan, he thought through the manufacturing drawings of the super bore crossbow. However, on the island in the middle of the lake, in addition to Guo Hong''s judgment, he also mobilized more than a dozen craftsmen to assist him with all his strength. He spent an unknown amount of precious gold and iron. It took him half a year to successfully build a sample weapon.
However, this one is worth it.
The armor breaking heavy front arrow fired by the super bore crossbow can even directly penetrate the blood demon puppet from 6000 steps away, and its attack power is comparable to the magic weapon of the earth level.
However, Wu Meng was deeply confused. The cost of super bore crossbow was no worse than that of a ground level magic weapon, but the firing speed was reduced to one breath and one shot, which was extremely powerful. However, such a slow firing speed could easily flash past, in addition to attacking fixed targets such as the city wall. Is it worth making?
Of course, even if he can only attack the city wall, Chen Hai also asked Tianji school palace to manufacture a super bore crossbow every six months for standby, thinking that he can continue to improve the array prohibition and continuously improve its performance in the future.
On this day, Chen Hai rehearsed all day, but still had no harvest. He frowned and put away all the paper scroll books. On one side, Su Ling, who added fragrance to tea, showed an inquiring look.
Chen Hai rubbed his eyebrows, smiled and said, "it''s really hard. I''m afraid the clean day is coming to an end."
Sure enough, at dusk, a large ship came ashore. Against the red clouds, Fang Xiyan went down the gangway and smiled to congratulate Chen Haigong: "Congratulations to Marquis Chen. Before the emperor returned the Pearl, marquis Chen made great contributions to saving the orphans and guarding the border. The holy dragon Yan was very happy. Although all the ministers blocked it more, under the efforts of Lord Wen and Lord Zhao, he still won the reward of the township Marquis for Marquis Chen."
It''s impossible for many people to get it after a lifetime of struggle, but in Chen Hai''s opinion, it''s far better to divide Hengshan and yuchengling into one county.
However, he also knows the current situation. Supporting yinglei to ascend the throne of God is the most important thing. If he can fight for the village for himself, I''m afraid he also wants to take the opportunity of being sealed to let him go to Beijing for discussion -- this shows that Zhao Zhong and others have changed their attitude towards themselves.
Chen Hai had already arranged the incense table. Fang Xi stood at one side of the incense table with the imperial edict in his hand and read out: "According to Emperor Chengyi''s edict, I only govern the world with literature and suppress the rebellion with martial arts. In the past, the evil spirit did not sweep away in Yucheng, which is actually a vital place in Tianshui. The Tianji Pavilion is waiting for Chen Hai, caochuang Tongkou and Yandang are in the north, so it has become the hero of the horns of Yucheng ridge. It is actually the mainstay of the imperial court and the backbone of the country. It can be both civil and military. I can contribute to the success, but I can lose the favor of his achievements. I hereby grant you the title of Tianji Township Leader, tin The imperial order. In the play, it is a grand event to show off. The national code is not private reward. Yan Yi''s deep feelings are greatly encouraged. On August 13, 1993, Emperor Yitian. "
Chen Hai kowtows to accept the order and goes to Lingdao cave with Fang Xiyan. Chen Hai''s cultivation is extremely high. Before, he saw that Fang Xiyan was pale and sluggish. He knew that he was still seriously injured. Now he joined hands, but he found that it was difficult for Fang Xiyan to recover his cultivation.
Fang Xiyan noticed Chen Hai''s abnormality and smiled and said, "don''t look at Chen Hou. Our students were hit by the jade mountain seal that day. Although the meridians were not very bad, the Linghai secret palace was broken. It''s even more difficult to repair it. However, we still have to thank Chen Hou. It''s not Chen Hou''s righteous help. I''m afraid the emperor and Lord Zhao will fall into it."
Chen Hai smiled and said happily.
When it was late, Chen Hai arranged for Fang Xiyan to rest in Lingdao cave. The next morning, after sending Fang Xiyan away, he took Su Ling riding a cangyu Lingying back to Yandang city and Hengshan City, and Cangyi followed closely with four demons.
Chen Haizhao''s law can only bring 1000 elite Hu Wei to Beijing to be granted the title. This time, he is also well behaved and goes straight to Yanjing city through Tianshui county.
Before leaving, Su Ling beat a retreat drum and insisted on not going to Beijing with Chen Hai. Chen Hai persuaded her for a while, but she had to give up.
He knows that Su Ling still has a shadow. Chen Hai has never had a positive wife. He can''t say that someone will talk about it this time in Beijing. Su Ling doesn''t want to worry about it even though she has been prepared for it.
Without Su Ling''s company, Chen Hai''s journey became a little boring. Fortunately, Yao Wenjin came from juquanling to meet him and chat with him about Yanjing anecdotes in the car account, which was much better.
Chen Hai didn''t deliberately go on his way, because according to his news, the situation in Yanjing is still some time away from winning. The undercurrent surging under the seemingly calm Yanjing city is more happy to hide in the far north if it''s not related to the whole situation in Yanzhou and even the blood devil catastrophe that doesn''t know when to come.
No matter how slow the pace is, the road will eventually end, and the magnificent Yanjing city is finally in sight. Chen Hai looks at the city he has lived in, and suddenly a beautiful shadow comes to his mind. Dong Ning''s Jingjue Prefecture guard has completely established his foothold, but he has not been in touch with her for a long time. Chen Hai is very ashamed when he thinks of that proud and independent beauty Guilt.
Counting his more than ten years in Yanzhou, I''m afraid there are only Chen lie and Dong Ning who are the most important to him. Only the two of them not only didn''t ask for anything, but also did their best to contribute silently to themselves.
Chen lie has been closed for more than three years, and there is no sign of leaving the customs. With his deep accumulation, he still relied on the blood pill that day.
Chen lie is not good in Hexi. Naturally, he will not have his own chance. Without the assistance of foreign objects, Chen Hai expected that it would be difficult to achieve daodan. Thinking of this, he thought of Ning chan''er, who is obsessed with smoking and watching. She has refined yundao Tiandan for more than half a year. She doesn''t know when she can become a Dan.
Chen Hai sighed and shook his head vigorously, leaving all these messy things behind. His planning and accumulation over the years depends on whether his trip to Yanjing is smooth or not.
As he was walking, his mind moved and a team rushed over.
Chen Hai ordered the driver to stop, but he saw that Dong pan was surrounded by more than ten yamen soldiers on Hexi Road, catching up here
