Lord of the People: I Rely on Cheating To Fight For Hegemony

Chapter 1384 Planning the Western Continent

On October 18th, the thirteenth year of Tianxuan, Qu Mao, who had returned to the lord's hut of Yidao, the holy land of Emperor Yi, and Su Yan, Liu Qianhui, Mo Yangqiao, Kong Ming, Xuande, Xinping, Su Qiaoer and others who had been summoned by him Gather in a meeting room on the third floor of the Lord's Lodge.

Qu Mao hung a simple map of the distribution of forces in the Western Continent on the wall, and introduced the situation of Xirong City and its surroundings in the Western Continent in detail to the participants, as well as his and Fuzhi's plot to build a new territory.

After the speech, Qu Mao supported the conference table with both hands, and said to the participants: "Everyone, this is the situation. The environment is extremely bad. After you experience it for yourself, you will definitely find that the actual situation is hundreds of times worse than what I described. .

However, although this area is a desert with a diameter of only 500 kilometers, it has a large number of metal mines, and can open up the connection between our Yidi territory and the Fulu Empire. "

Liu Qianhui frowned and said, "Grandma! Qu Mao, you mean to let my old lady go to the barren desert to develop a territory?

Can you find a better place? On the west side of Xirong City in the Western Continent is a desolate desert where no life grows, and the temperature difference between day and night is 70 degrees. It is really difficult for my old lady to develop, no less than a hell-level opening. "

Qu Mao frowned and said: "Liu Qianhui, I'm not asking you to go alone to develop a new territory that belongs to our Yidi territory, you go there to develop, and our Yidi territory is your solid backing.

Now the five railways from the underground world to the end of the underground world, except for the railway leading to Unfeeling City, which are used more frequently, the other four railways are basically idle.

Liu Qianhui, you have to know that a steam train locomotive can pull five passenger cars and ten freight cars, and it can transport millions of catties of supplies at a time, and establish a territory in the desert, so why don't you worry about it? Woolen cloth? "

Su Yan frowned and said, "My lord, it's not a big problem to build a city in the desert, but in the desert, you can't even walk 30 kilometers in a day. You plan to build a city every 30 kilometers. Remember to build four towns and then arrive at the city." Under the moon city of Maoqiusi Kingdom, the subordinates think there are still some risks.

For example, when the last town is built, it is inevitable that it will be discovered by the garrison personnel of the Maoqius Kingdom's Moon City; or the towns on the way are not enough to ensure that pedestrians can pass through the desert safely. "

Kong Ming waved his goose feather fan, dangling back and forth in front of the simple power distribution map of the Western Continent, stopped after a long while, and said, "My lord, I think that in your idea, building cities and towns in a single line is naturally the easiest. The most convenient way, but if it is considered that Lord Liu Qianhui's newly established Shaliu Village territory will develop in the barren desert, it seems inappropriate to build towns in a single line.

Because once the enemy captures our town in the middle, it will inevitably cut off the beginning and end of our Shaliu Village territory, breaking the connection between the towns.

The idea of ​​the subordinates is that instead of building a city in a single line, it is better to build a city three-dimensionally, and occupy this desert with a diameter of 500 kilometers through the town. "

Xinping also said: "My lord, my subordinates have similar views with Master Kong Ming. What you consider is to open up the connection with the Fulu Empire, but my subordinates think that since you want to withdraw Master Liu Qianhui from the Western Front and go to the northwest of the Western Continent To carry out the task of building and developing Shaliu Village territory in the regional desert, a relatively strong foundation must be laid.

The subordinates believe that in the 150-kilometer desert area between Xirong City and Yuexia City, the north-south direction can be extended to 50 kilometers, and five towns can be built in the shape of plum blossoms to ensure that the distance between the towns does not exceed 20 kilometers.

In this way, not only can Master Su Yan say that 30 kilometers is not safe, it can also meet the problem of expanding the strategic depth of Shaliu Village mentioned by Master Kong Ming. "

Su Qiaoer said: "Even if there is only one battalion of firearms soldiers stationed in a town, Mr. Liu Qianhui's Shaliu Village territory starts with 2,500 people, no matter how small it is, it is not a village-level territory.

Moreover, the train road in our underground world passageway is double-track, and it is guaranteed to run a train every day, which can replenish the fresh water of at least 10 freight cars, which is more than enough to feed 2,500 people. "

Qu Maodao: "If you say that, it's better to build ten towns. Anyway, we can supply fresh water. Su Yan and Mo Yangqiao are both empire-level empresses. Liu Qianhui's territory must be at least a city-level to start with." Bar."

Mo Yangqiao said: "My lord, our Emperor Yi's territory does not seem to lack gold coins and resources for building towns, nor does it seem to lack loyal residents.

A desert area with a diameter of 500 kilometers can at least be equal to the territory of a low-level princely state, it is not as good as..."

Qu Mao nodded, and said: "If 10 small oases protected by city walls are formed in the desert area, then the territory of Shaliu City can be developed, but Liandao Green City has not yet developed an oasis suitable for growing in the desert area of ​​the Western Continent. Tree seedlings come."

Su Qiaoer said: "Sir, let's build ten towns first, mainly between Xirong City and Yuexia City. If Master Liu considers other issues, you can also build one or two towns west of Xirong City.

In the early stage, the subordinates guarantee to prepare resident recruitment coupons for each town that can recruit 10,000 ordinary-level qualified residents, 3,000 excellent-level qualified residents, and 1,000 excellent-level qualified residents, and arrange 6,000 city-building craftsmen for each town. , the fortification craftsmen of each town stayed in each town.

In this way, Mr. Liu had a total population of 200,000 residents at the beginning. Counting the garrisons of the Firearms Army, the staff of the Intelligence Department, and logistics support personnel, the total population may reach 300,000.

If it weren't for the lack of transportation capacity of the railways in the underground world passage, and the construction of more towns in the Shaliu City Territory, the subordinates think that our Yidi Territory can also afford it. "

Qu Mao frowned and thought for a while, then said, "It's not a big problem, it's nothing more than installing more steam locomotives."

Xuande pondered for a long time, and said: "My lord, since there are enough metal mines, my subordinates think that as long as Mr. Liu Qianhui's policy is right, the firearms army stationed can be expanded into a whole army with 80,000 soldiers, and the intelligence department can be stationed with 1,000 soldiers." For intelligence personnel, 9,000 auxiliary personnel will be arranged in each town, with a total population of 380,000.

At the same time, the metal mine attracts mine owners and entrepreneurs from Shacheng and Holy Land to bring workers there, then it can reach at least 500,000 people, and the territory of Shaliuhou Kingdom has already been reached. Compared with the early development of our Yidi territory, it is no longer Know how much stronger it is. "

Liu Qianhui said: "That way, Qu Mao, I need at least 100 heroes to accompany me."
