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

Regarding the terrain around Wucheng, Qu Mao was very excited after hearing the three exits described by Kong Ming and the future resettlement plan for the families of military officers around Wucheng.

When originally planning the construction of Wucheng, Qu Mao had already arranged for soldiers and himself to survey the terrain, but at that time Qu Mao mainly surveyed the terrain of the Wucheng area and did not go far. The conclusion can only be drawn from the terrain within 50 kilometers around the city.

Wucheng is located in a valley. After climbing over the surrounding mountain ridges and expanding outward by 50 kilometers to 100 kilometers, you can find the three exits described by Kong Ming.

Having these three exits means that the security of stationing troops in Wucheng will be higher. If there is a place to house the families of officers, it also means that the probability of mutiny in the troops stationing in Wucheng will be lower.

On May 22, the fourth year of Tianxuan, Qu Mao slept all afternoon in a third-tier courtyard that had been built in Wucheng, and rode on a horse for several days. It would be a lie to say that it was not hard work.

During dinner, Kong Ming came to look for Qu Mao with his goose feather fan again. Unlike the brief report at lunch, Kong Ming found a simple map and hung it on the wall while Qu Mao was having dinner.

With a simple map hanging on the wall, Kong Ming roughly introduced the surrounding environment of Wucheng, which was much more vivid than that at noon, and Qu Mao sounded more intuitive.

After dinner, Qu Mao said: "Kong Ming, you have done a good job in Wucheng this week, and you actually ran out of the 50 kilometers outside the planned city wall of Wucheng. No, look at the exit of troops in the northwest. The walls of the city are nearly 100 kilometers long.

According to this scale, not to mention 200,000 military family members, even a population of more than one million, I am afraid it can accommodate it. "

Kong Ming said with a wry smile: "My lord, there are still many mountains around Wucheng, and not all areas are suitable for residents to live in.

The 200,000 to 500,000 family members of officers calculated by the subordinates have already deducted some hillside areas that are really not suitable for residents to live in, and it is very difficult to transform them. "

Naturally, Qu Mao didn't care about these details. With Kong Ming's simple map, Qu Mao was already planning the blueprints for the construction of the exit.

Continental Continent is still in the era of cold weapons. Since Kong Ming chose it as an outlet for troops, it is natural that the surrounding terrain is blocked by water or mountains.

The valley where Wucheng is located is surrounded by the sea on one side and mountains on three sides. Although there are rivers flowing into the sea, they are generally not wide. Therefore, the surroundings of the military exits chosen by Kong Ming are all steep mountains that are difficult to climb. The width of the three military exits is nearly five kilometers. Canyon, and the narrow canyon is probably less than one kilometer.

The three military outlets surveyed by Kong Ming are located in the due west, northeast and northwest of Wucheng. The geographical locations are all good, and they are all high mountains that are difficult to climb. The effect of being closed and not open.

The widest military exit is about five kilometers wide, located in the west of Wucheng, about 55 kilometers away from the planned west wall of Wucheng.

If this pass is to be built, it may be the largest project volume, and the project volume may not be lower than Aikou Pass.

However, the difficulty of construction is not that great. A slight modification of the natural canyon can be directly applied. Even if it is not modified, the army can be directly stationed in the middle of the valley, and the entire exit of troops can be blocked.

The military exit farthest from Wucheng is the military exit in the northwest direction. It is about 95 kilometers away from the planned city wall of Wucheng. The width of the canyon is only 900 meters, and the cliffs on both sides are vertically downward, at least 300 meters high.

Even if only a brigade of Tier 3 Princess Guards is dispatched, this exit can be completely blocked.

In fact, Qu Mao had already passed by the exit of troops in the northeast corner when he led 100 fifth-tier palace guards. The width of the canyon is about three kilometers. The terrain on both sides is high mountains, and a small river about 5 meters wide flows slowly. , meandering into the sea.

The geographical conditions of this military outlet are the worst, and it is about 65 kilometers away from the planned city wall of Wucheng, so it is very difficult to build.

However, this place is located in the northeast corner, facing the Luanshanhou Kingdom and the Bertierhou Kingdom, both of which have been completely taken from the Yicheng territory on the main mainland. The possibility of sending troops is not high, and the defensive nature is more important. powerful.

Pointing to Kong Ming's simple map hanging on the wall, he said, "Kong Ming, since we have high hopes for Wucheng, then don't be petty and only garrison troops or build a semi-permanent military base.

We will directly build three satellite cities at these three military exits, which are built with the same specifications as Aikou Pass. "

Kong Ming shook his goose feather fan, frowned, thought for a while, and said, "My lord, if we build three more satellite cities, will it consume too much of the people's power of the Liusu Principality and the Six Great Marquis?"

Qu Mao said: "Probably not, if it doesn't work, let the stationed troops fix it, it will take a little more time.

The satellite city in the west is only 55 kilometers away from the west gate of Wucheng, the satellite city in the northwest is about 95 kilometers away from the northwest gate of Wucheng, and the satellite city in the northeast is about 65 kilometers away from the northeast gate of Wucheng. Only by relocating the family members of military officers can the family members of military officers have a sufficient sense of security.

Therefore, we have to repair the three satellite cities. As for things that take up people's resources, we can prolong the construction time and pay for the residents to build them. Of course, the troops stationed must also participate in the construction. "

Kong Ming said: "Since my lord has decided, it must be built, and my lord should hurry up and draw out the construction planning drawings.

About 20,000 high-level fighters can be stationed at each troop exit, and these high-level fighters will build while stationing, and build as many as they can. "

Qu Mao said: "I will definitely be able to draw the blueprint tonight. As for how many soldiers to arrange, it's up to you to arrange it yourself."

Kong Ming shook his goose feather fan, thought for a while, and said, "My lord, the three military outlets around Wucheng have been built into a satellite city, and my subordinates feel that it may be necessary to mobilize some magicians from the Magic Legion to help clear the ground and level the valley..."

Qu Mao interrupted: "I know, it's the same as building a village in the Holy Land in the past, right? All right, just inform Sophie Trani to make arrangements."

Kong Ming continued: "My lord, since all the family members of military officers are resettled, the food production in this area will definitely not be taxed in the future.

At most, they are required to sell the surplus food to Wucheng as military rations..."

Qu Mao nodded and said: "Kong Ming, it makes sense to say so, let's do it like this.

The placement of surrounding military families can extend the time period, otherwise the population of the Holy Land will be much smaller at once. "

Kong Ming said with a smile: "If there is less, there will be less. At worst, it will be supplemented by excellent-level qualified residents."
