Chapter 136 Selected Resident
With the help of local snakes, the base chosen by Liu Lang was quickly demarcated, occupying a total of five hills and a Pingba grassland that was fifteen miles long and five miles wide.
There were not many villagers living here, with only more than 30 households in a village. Each household compensated an average of 200 silver coins and divided several acres of mountain land at the foot of the mountain. This mountain with a radius of dozens of miles became the garrison of the independent regiment, a military restricted area, and idlers were forbidden to enter.
No one knows why Liu Lang chose to put his residence in the mountains.
It is naturally beneficial to be a resident in the mountainous area. Shuiling Mountain is continuous and steep, with rugged roads and dense vegetation, which is a typical easy-to-defense and difficult-to-attack place.
However, Qiu Tongzhou is the hinterland of the kingdom. The Black Hawk Imperial Army, which is eyeing it, cannot threaten this place. The only possibility is that Liu Lang is guarding against various warlords in Qiu Tongzhou and preventing them from stabbing the independent regiment with more than a thousand people in the back.
This view almost represents everyone's ideas. Even Zhang Linfeng, who is far away in Yongfeng Mansion, received a telegram from Liu Lang, looked carefully at the map for a long time, nodded and recognized Liu Lang's decision. His evaluation of Liu Lang was: "Liu Lang's cautious approach is necessary."
Not to mention the hundreds of thousands of troops of other warlords in Qiu Tongzhou, there is the current 100,000 troops under Liu Runsheng, the Duchy of Qiu Tongzhou Government. If he wants to destroy the Independent Group, he can combine normal disabled people and get a thousand independent groups into scumbags. Liu Lang chose this place very good. He can defend the dangers. If he can't defend it, he can also retreat from the mountains along the road to Fuhongzhou.
If it were someone who had a little experience and had some understanding of Andong City, he would probably not have thought so when he saw Liu Lang choosing this territory. Is Liu Lang the place he chose to garrison? He wanted to enclose land and become a mine owner!
In the industrial age, the entire kingdom has only more than 3,000 factories with an annual steel output of only more than 30,000 tons. This is true for industrial manufacturing, let alone mineral exploration. If it weren't for the establishment of a geological survey institute to carry out mineral resources exploration across the country, the kingdom would probably be even worse than the Black Hawk Empire, which invaded the kingdom, quickly carried out mineral exploration.
This is the case in the entire country. In places like Qiu Tongzhou, where warlords are divided and the kingdom has not yet obtained management rights, the so-called mineral exploration is even more slag among the slag.
How could they know that Andongcheng has become one of the most important mineral resource cities in Qiutongzhou in the future? According to the records in the Andongcheng Mineral Resources White Paper, 95 types of mineral species have been found in Andongcheng, 480 mineral sites, 378 deposits with resource reserves have been found, including 6 large deposits (2 refractory clay, one flux limestone, one glass quartz sandstone, and one wollastonite), 40 medium-sized deposits (10 sand gold, six potassium feldspar, four refractory clay, two crystal graphite, two glass quartz sandstone, and two brick and tile shale, and eight others), and 332 small deposits. 38 types of minerals with resource reserves have been found to be mined, and the larger reserves are coal, natural gas, sand gold, non-ferrous metals, bauxite, pyrote, cement limestone, glass quartz sandstone, glass gangrene quartz, and decorative stone.
The two mountains that Liu Lang chose not only had a natural open flat dam, but also the iron ore with the largest storage capacity in Andongcheng. If Liu Lang was a businessman, developing the iron ore alone would be enough to make him one of the richest people in Qiu Tongzhou in one fell swoop.
This was the news that Liu Lang accidentally saw the discovery of a huge iron ore in Andongcheng while watching TV. Moreover, the terrain at the intersection of the two mountains was extremely special, so he was very impressed. When he learned that he was going to station troops in Andongcheng, Liu Lang was already thinking about the large iron ore and wanted to build an arsenal. Without good steel, it would only be a cloud.
The garrison is still under construction. Liu Lang gave the entire army two days off and the devil's marching for six days. The soldiers who were extremely mentally and physically exhausted need to be repaired. In addition to the necessary on-duty personnel, the rest of the personnel can enter the county town without carrying weapons.
Seeing the soldiers happily leaving the temporary barracks and entering the county town of Andongcheng, Liu Lang sighed slightly. This may be their last vacation. In the next six months, they will receive the most rigorous training with the recruits to be accepted. Because, in 8 months, they will face the Black Hawk Army, which is more elite than the Black Hawk Empire Army's Haicheng Expeditionary Force, and can compete with the combat nations with stronger equipment in the north.
"Sir Liu, are you very sorry that you can't go with them?" Ji Yanxue, who was standing next to her, asked suddenly.
The emotions that Liu Lang had just shown were indeed very regretful, especially when the soldiers counted the silver coins in their pockets and whispered to think about whether they could stay in the brothel for one night. If Miss Ji hadn't been in the army for a while, she would have probably already carried a submachine gun and thrust the soldiers who liked to lure crimes. She just went there and said that it was so loud? Didn't you see a fat man shook his head and sigh?
"Yes! Commander, why don't you go to the city to have fun? I'll be on duty in the camp." The young Lin Li is very soldier, but he is indeed very ignorant of the female eyes.
I didn't even see a girl major trying to kill someone, and I still have fun, so what kind of fun is it? Honest people are all traitors who are being traitors like this.
