………………………………………………………………

Five years may be a small amount, and it may be a matter of several generations to really perfect a city, but as long as the outer wall of the city is built, the construction behind it is not a problem at all.

I vaguely remember that Chang'an in the Tang Dynasty covered an area of more than 80 square kilometers, and the city located in Nanjun would be built into a large city of 90 square kilometers. The city, which has no name yet, is likely to cross the Yangtze River as the plan continues to improve, forming a sprawling city with several mountains and rivers

In addition to paying attention to the construction of the new city, seeing that the Central Plains War is about to begin, Lu Zhe's recent training of the army has also increased.

Including the plundered population and the original population, the total population of Nanjun has exceeded 1.4 million, while the troops of Nanjun are enough 180,000. If possible, another 20,000 to 40,000 troops may be added in the future, expanding the army of Nanjun to more than 200,000.

There were 200,000 troops out of 1.4 million, which was a very unbalanced ratio, but it was also a last resort. Almost no one knows better than Lu Zhe that the troubled times have come, how can the development be guaranteed without sufficient military strength, and if the fruit cannot be protected, no matter how well the tree is planted, it is just a wedding dress for others.

Lu Zhe's plan for the army is relatively simple, and the geographical location of Nanjun is destined to have no less than 70,000 field troops, which is the so-called war force. Then there will be about 130,000 troops to be arranged according to the situation, and some troops will be garrisoned in each county. Other than that, it's the Tuntian soldiers.

The tuntian soldiers are a good type of soldiers, they are military peasants during spring sowing and autumn harvest, and they can also conduct drills most of the rest of the time. As long as they are properly trained and equipped with good weapons and armor, they will also be a good defensive force, but the nature of such a planning direction is not destined to make them an elite field force.

The construction of the border fortifications in the southern county has been improving, and once it is completed, a large part of the troops will be idle by taking advantage of the terrain, which will be a good thing for the agricultural development within the southern county.

At present, the types of troops such as the Jumping Soldiers, the Vine Armor Soldiers, and the Mo Knife Hands are still in the testing stage, and the Jumping Soldiers and the Vine Armor Soldiers are relatively simple to use. In many cases, it was even easier than commanding spearmen and spearmen, but the Mosaber is a more difficult class to train.

In fact, the troops who have always been called Mo swordsmen by Lu Zhe are not worthy of this title now, they are at best a group of heavy infantry wearing heavy armor and holding three-pointed and two-edged knives. If you want to truly train them to be an invincible Mo Dao Player, you still need to explore, this is Lu Zhe's heavy responsibility, and it is also the direction that Su Lie has been working towards.

The advantage of Qin's bow and arrow is also the direction that Lu Zhe attaches great importance to, but it is a pity that there are no craftsmen in Nanjun who can make pouting crossbows, and those craftsmen's imitation of pouting crossbows is not successful, and the imitation crossbow machine does not have the power of orthodox Qin crossbows in terms of range and quasi-head.

In addition to the crossbow, Lu Zhe remembered that there was also a bed crossbow in the Qin State. The size of this heavy crossbow is a bit large, and it is a rare weapon for siege and defense. And there are still no craftsmen who know this technique in Cha Cha Nan County, and everything is slowly experimenting and developing.

There are also many instruments Lu Zhe also has an impression in his heart, individual instruments. For example, the structural drawings of siege vehicles, stone-throwing vehicles, nest vehicles, and ladders have been drawn, after all, this thing can be studied thoroughly as long as they are interested in future generations.

Of course, knowing how to make doesn't mean making it right away, and sometimes it's not beneficial to make a lot of things. On the contrary, it is likely to reap the consequences.

Saddles and stirrups are easy to make, right? But Lu Zhe didn't think at all that he wanted them to appear in advance, and there were many reasons for this. He now had no cavalry troops, and saddles and stirrups were of no use at all.

The Qin State had a large number of cavalry. Should it be given to the State of Qin?

Lu Zhe now can't figure out whether he is a Qin army or a rebel, whether he is selfish or stingy, he will temporarily rot this set of techniques in his heart.

It is true that there are many cavalry in the Qin State, and the skills of having saddles and stirrups can more than double their combat effectiveness, but don't forget that the cavalry of the steppe Hu people is more, if the skills of the saddle and stirrups appear in advance, and the steppe people get these crafts that have no technical content, the event of the steppe cavalry sweeping through Europe and Asia will definitely be advanced.

Many techniques can't let them appear in advance, otherwise it will likely be a great disaster, and maybe one day when Lu Zhe no longer has to scruple, they will be the time of this world.

In fact, seriously speaking, the civil engineering skills shown by Lu Zhe are not available now, and the so-called grouting method is only the tip of the iceberg, and Nanjun, who has obtained limestone, has been developing cement according to Lu Zhe's formula. It was only a matter of time before there was a complete recipe for the production of cement.

The skill of civil engineering is more important than anything else to the farming people, but it is a pity that the first emperor not only does not allow all counties to build cities, but even those Xiongguan dangerous passes have been ordered to be demolished, otherwise......

In the next few days, Lu Zhe has been living in the tediousness of handling government affairs.

The Yijian who invaded Hengshan County continued to send war reports, Deng Zong's main force had been defeated, the rebels in Hengshan County were now divided into dozens of groups and kept flowing, Deng Zong and his people were also missing, and it took too long to kill Deng Zong and annihilate the rebels, and asked if he was preparing to withdraw according to the original plan.

Lu Zhe's reply was that he had to kill Deng Zong in order to achieve the prestige of killing chickens and making an example of monkeys. If Deng Zong does not die, the combat goal of the Nanjun army cannot be regarded as being realized, so Xu Zhi had to lead people to chase him, but fortunately, according to the confession of the captives, the direction of Deng Zong's escape has been explored.

Jiujiang County would not be Deng Zong's choice to flee, after all, there was a Qin army in that direction to defend Anfeng, so he could only choose the direction of Lujiang County to escape.

Xu Zhi led people to chase and kill, but Yijian led people to arrange for the head of Hengshan County to move to Nanjun.

This time, Lu Zhe really didn't want to occupy territory when he attacked Hengshan County, in addition to retaliating against the rebels, what he wanted to do most was to get the population of Hengshan County.

The army of Nanjun has successively captured Yi County, Xiling County, E County, and Qisi County. Because Lü Zhe's order was to destroy the rebels, not to capture territory. In the face of the rabble that did not even have a basic structure, the Nanjun troops, who had only been trained for almost three months, had a certain advantage, and what Yikan was worried about was what means to use to emigrate the population of Hengshan County to Nanjun.

The population of Hengshan County is not as large as that of Nanjun, probably only about 600,000. The people of Hengshan County are different from Qianzhong County, they are not Baiyue people, and they cannot use brutal means to plunder the population, so it is very difficult to do so.

What Yoshikane can do now is to promote the stability and prosperity of life in Nam-gun, but in this way, the only people who can attract will be those who have been destroyed by the war, and they will not be able to attract families with certain industries.

According to the statistics. Now the number of Hengshan people who are willing to move to Nanjun is only 40,000, accounting for less than one-tenth.

In fact, if Lu Zhe had the courage to say that he wanted to distribute the fields of Nan County, he would definitely be able to attract more people from Hengshan County, but unfortunately Lu Zhe didn't want to stir up the nerves of the center too much now.

In the final analysis, before the situation of the Great War in the Central Plains is unclear, Nanjun's pace should be more calm.

Yan Bi brought back good news from Changsha County, and Wu Rui agreed to sell grain to Nanjun, but not with wealth but weapons and armor. It is a kind of bartering.

And it seems that Wu Rui took out a lot of food, and the number of weapons and armor proposed was not excessive, which made Lu Zhe think that the autumn in Changsha County was a bumper harvest, and after asking, he realized that Lu Dao was not like that.

Changsha County is very large. It is enough to occupy the total land area of Nanjun and Qianzhong County, and its farming system is also relatively developed, but it has also been affected by the war disaster.

"Wu Rui has 130,000 troops under his command, occupying the areas north of Luoxian, Linxiang, and Xiangshui. The remaining counties, such as Lingling and Chenxian, are in the hands of the other four. Yan Bi saw Lu Zhe again after half a month apart, and he found that Lu Zhe now was a little different from half a month ago, and he looked more calm and powerful. At the same time, he was very respectful in his heart: "The four families are the Lian family, the Huang family, the Yang family, and the Yong family. The Huang family and the Yang family are old Chu officials, the Lian family is a local clan in Lingling, but the Yong family has the blood of Baiyue. ”

It seems that Yan Bi went to Changsha County to do a lot of things, not only did he have good contact with Wu Rui, but he even found out some information about Changsha County.

"Does this Huang have anything to do with Huang Xie's Huang family?" Chun Shenjun of the Four Princes of the Warring States Period, Lu Zhe still knows the Tao.

Yan Bi has always maintained a posture of bowing: "It is a side branch of the Huang family." ”

Changsha County has always been the nest of the Chu State, and it seems that it did not suffer much damage during the unification war, but I don't know what happened after this turmoil?

Lu Zhe nodded: "Let's talk about it." ”

Yan Bi naturally wanted to say something, he walked over and sat down in the direction Lu Zhe pointed out.

At present, there are five larger forces in Changsha County, and the largest of them is not Wu Rui, nor Huang, but Lian. If there is a ranking, it should be the strongest in the Lian family, followed by the Yong family, Wu Rui again, and the Huang family the weakest.

"The Lian clan is a Wuling clan, and the family has a good relationship with Minyue, although there are only 70,000 clan soldiers, but there is a mount called an elephant. This mount is very large, with sharp two horns, thick legs, and its size is like a small mountain, and hundreds of elephants running together are literally shaking the mountain. Yan Bi said as if he had seen it with his own eyes, and seeing that Lu Zhe did not show an expression of interest, he paused and continued: "The Yong clan is a branch of South Vietnam, but it lives in Changsha County, and it has been connected with the locals as early as the Chu State......

Yan Bi continued to say, but Lu Zhe was thinking: "The Lian clan has elephant soldiers, so the Baiyue people should also have them?" ”

And it seems that elephants are really living in southern China now, and there are quite a few of them! So, it's likely that the army of Nanjun will encounter elephant soldiers next? (To be continued......)
