In the blink of an eye, the time came to June of 182, more than two months after the first meeting between Lu Haikong and Zhang He. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Due to the cooperative relationship reached with Zhang He, in the past two months, the cottage of land, sea and air is still in the stage of peaceful development.

And because of the cooperation with Zhang He, the development of the cottage is smoother than before.

In the eyes of Zhang He, Lu Haikong seems to be really just a partner rather than a competitor, and Zhang He has never restricted or blocked the development of Lu, Hai and Air.

Whether it was the acceptance of displaced people by Lu Haikong, or the collection of materials such as iron ore and coal mines by Lu Haikong, and Lu Haikong's later brutal recruitment of technical talents from Dingxiang County and Qiangyin County, Zhang He did not interfere, and even opened the door to Lu, Haikong to a certain extent.

With the help of Zhang He, the population of the cottage in Luhaikong soared to 40,000 in just over two months, an increase of more than 10,000 people.

Thanks to the previous three months, Lu, Haikong and they carefully built up the structure of the cottage, and with the maintenance of the order of the White Tiger Hall, the cottage easily digested all the more than 10,000 people.

However, when the population reaches 40,000, the cottage will not expand in the short term, not because the cottage can't afford to support more people.

In fact, the fields outside the cottage have already been harvested once, and the harvest is quite good, and the grain obtained at that time can feed almost 40,000 people for several months.

It's just that the space inside the cottage has basically been developed, and the next cottage really can't accommodate more people.

After all, the cottages of land, sea and air are actually built between the valleys, and it is not easy to develop a school field for thousands of soldiers to live in a valley that can accommodate 40,000 people, and it is basically impossible to accept more people.

In this case, if the land, sea and air want to increase the number of people, it is inevitable to expand the territory, develop a subsidiary territory or occupy a cottage to develop.

Neither of these plans is currently intended to be implemented by the land, sea and air forces, and the main problem is that there are not enough personnel at the disposal of the land, sea and air forces.

Whether it is a subordinate territory or a subordinate cottage, Lu Haikong is bound to need a character who can be in charge of his own side and he still needs a confidant, and there are only a few characters who can be in charge of himself, and they may not be suitable for each other, Xi Zhicai is very suitable, but he currently has his own things to do, so Lu Haikong can only temporarily extinguish the idea of developing the territory.

In the case that the territory could not be expanded, the land, sea and air began to concentrate on developing the territory, wanting to develop their own cottage into a semi-military fortress.

It's not that Luhaikong doesn't want to develop the economy of the cottage, but with the particularity of the cottage, the cottage is basically not open to the outside world, except for Ye Junru's team occasionally entering the cottage, the population is basically not circulating, in this case, what can the land, sea and air do in addition to building the cottage into a military fortress?

In order to build the cottage into a military fortress, Lu Haikong has done a lot of things in the past two months, among which Lu Haikong has personally handled the expansion of the 'blacksmith battalion'.

The blacksmith battalion has always been highly valued by the land, sea and air, and in his opinion, the blacksmith battalion is equivalent to the technology tree of war, as long as the blacksmith battalion is well developed, the strength of the army can be improved as a whole.

Therefore, in order to expand the blacksmith camp, it can be said that the land, sea and air are painstaking, and even a large number of blacksmiths are dug up from Qiangyin County and Dingxiang County at any cost.

Of course, as a cottage, even if Lu Haikong pays a lot of money, it is still very difficult to let the blacksmith who has a stable life come out of the original living environment, and come to the cottage of Lu Haikong.

Therefore, in addition to the heavy money of the land, sea and air, the ghost shadow guard is also dispatched.

It's basically that routine, salute first and then soldier, give money and obediently follow the cottage, of course, it's the best, if you don't want money, then you can only send ghost guards.

Relying on this barbaric method, the army, navy, and air force expanded the blacksmith battalion to 400 people in just two months, greatly improving the blacksmith battalion's work capacity.

It is precisely because of this reason that the army, navy and air force were able to initially arm the Black Wind Legion and the personal guard battalion in only two months.

At present, the standard equipment of the pro-guard battalion is a light cloud armor, a fierce wolf knife, and a light iron shield.

Although this set of equipment is all ordinary level equipment, it is far inferior to the [elite] level equipment of Li Ke's cavalry, but it is much better than before.

Moreover, although the light iron shield of the guard battalion is only ordinary level equipment, there is still nothing to say about the defensive power, even if it is an [elite] level bow and arrow, it is not easy to shoot through, with this set of equipment, Pan Feng even dares to face Li Ke's cavalry.

And the equipment on the Black Wind Legion's side is not as neatly equipped as the guard battalion's side, and they only added an elite-level bow as the main weapon, and this elite-level bow was of course brought over by Lu Haikong from Zhang He's side.

One and the other, a bow and an arrow, the names are still very simple and simple.

Iron tire bow

Equipment Level: Elite

Equipment Effect: Increases power by 50%.

Iron arrows

Equipment Level: Elite

Equipment Effect: Piercing Enhanced

The combined power of this whole set of equipment is quite amazing, which Pan Feng also deeply understands.

In order to create a thousand pairs of iron tire bows, the old man Gongsun and a group of middle and high-level blacksmiths have not rested much for more than two months, and this is still under the condition that the blacksmith camp has expanded, otherwise the blacksmith camp may not be able to achieve this level in more than two months.

Although it took more than two months, it only seemed that the pro-guard battalion and the Black Wind Legion were armed, but the combat effectiveness of the army, navy and air force had at least doubled.

This is one of the benefits of the cooperation between Lu Haikong and Zhang He, if it weren't for Zhang He, Lu Haikong would not dare to expand the blacksmith camp so blatantly.

Lu Haikong has gained a lot of benefits in the cooperation with Zhang He, and as the other party to the cooperation, Zhang He's side has received no less benefits than Lu Haikong.

Originally, Zhang He's hands held a force of the Zhang family, and he had a certain influence in Dingxiang County, and when Zhang He's hands grasped the distribution power of the cake of land, sea and air.

Zhang Yiyi has a big stick and a cake in his hand, and quickly gained a firm foothold in Dingxiang, although he cannot be said to be a man of his word in Dingxiang, but it is also very influential.

Both parties reap the benefits, and this cooperation can naturally continue on the surface of intimacy......
