The geographical location of Guihua City is special.

It was once the base camp of Ming army spies, Lin Danhan's treasure pot, and Jiannu's territory.

It is most suitable for loyal people like Ge Sandao to garrison.

It is also more reliable than those scholars.

Moreover, the identity behind Ge Sandao is the leader of the Jiewei Army. His experience during this period is enough to prove that he can shoulder the heavy responsibility.

This is also the arm that Lu Zhou has cultivated with all his efforts.

Production can be accelerated, and resources can also be cheated.

But people's hearts must be settled with time.

Ge Sandao was originally a common man, a slave who was about to die.

Now he has become the guardian of a city. After giving the order, he is grateful and kneels on one knee to the ground and tears.

Lu Zhou gave up.

At this time, looking at the huge Guihua City, it seemed a little empty.

He had to order people to bring the craftsmen, women and children into the city.

There are at least five or six thousand people here, which finally makes the city more popular.

Two days later.

The newly brought population and army have been rectified.

Lu Zhou rode a war horse and patrolled the city left and right. Women on the grassland always liked to glar at Lu Zhou.

This is probably because Narenha's publicity played a role, which is also conducive to personnel stability.

The herders who have fallen from the grassland here sincerely admire Lu Zhou.

But in the current naturalized city, except for the herdsmen and craftsmen brought by Lu Zhou, the other population is really too small.

Since Lu Zhou entered the city, he has rarely seen the original owner's residents.

"Lord, there are twenty-eight households in the city, a total of one hundred and thirty-two people.

If there are 1,200 defenders, plus the Dragon and Tiger Army you brought, 5,000 defenders in Guihua City.

Finally, it's stable."

Ge Sandao was ahead, leading the horse for Lu Zhou while introducing the situation.

"One Hundred and Thirty Two?

If we didn’t bring these people over halfway, there would be only more than one hundred people in the entire city?"

Lu Zhou looked incredible.

After looking around, Guihua City is actually a relatively mature city-state.

There are many shops on the wide street.

There are also basic drainage facilities in large residential areas.

Judging from this scale, it is no problem to accommodate 200,000 to 300,000 people at its peak.

But there are only more than one hundred people now, so I can't continue.

This is like an empty city, withering and neglecting, revealing signs of decline everywhere.

No wonder Ge Sandao urged to send troops to surrender.

This place has almost become an empty city.

While introducing the reasons for the decline of Guihua City, Ge Sandao took Lu Zhou to a prison cell where he imprisoned a group of prisoners connected to the Qing Dynasty.

There are official positions and eight major Shang people.

One of the crazy and thin old men knelt under the wall and kept shouting "Emperor, Emperor".

"Lord, this person is Ning Wan, I am already crazy."

Ge Sandao pointed at the man in front of him and said.

"Crazy?"

"Well, since Ning Laogou came to Guihua City, he has been under a lot of pressure.

First, they competed with the Eight Great Chambers. After the Qing army entered the pass and robbed them, all the supplies were snatched by Tianwu City.

Later, he joined forces with Ezhe to fight, and the entire army was wiped out.

Finally, Kong Youde came over and wanted to turn the tables.

As a result, I took the city away and couldn't bear the blow, so I went crazy."

Ge Sandao explained, walked in and kicked it twice.

Ning Wan, I turned around, my eyes were full of dispersion. Looking at Lu Zhou who was guarded in the middle, I was stunned for a moment, and suddenly fell to the ground.

"Your Majesty, I can't think of how to lose...I can't think of how to lose!"

"Guihua City is defeated, Guihua City is defeated!"

Ning Wan, I shouted and buzzed my head wildly.

Blood overflowed from the forehead.

"What a slave."

Lu Zhou shook his head, it seemed that Ning Wan, I was really useless.

Lord Ning, who could have been successful, turned into a madman.

A beautiful naturalized city has become devastated in one or two years.

"Lord, there is still here!"

Ge Sandao continued to lead the way, and the highlight of this trip was ahead.

Seven or eight Han people were taken up, and they were the roots of the eight major merchants who remained in Guihua City.

The Eight Great Shangs are like flies, everywhere, and this is also the reason why the withering of the Naturalized City.

Without the protection of the Qing army, the eight major merchants took advantage of the chaos and gradually withdrew resources from the city and cut off contacts from all sides.

It also joined forces with the Mongols of Tumote tribe outside the city of Guihua to remove firewood from Guihua City. Now many of the forces and populations around have been moved to another place on the grassland.

Seeing the spring plowing begin, Guihua City has no more manpower.

"Sweat! Sweat! Sweat! Say life!"

A middle-aged fat man with a stomachache fell to his knees on the ground.

"Are you the person in charge of the city?"

Lu Zhou asked.

"I am just the shopkeeper of a shop, the Fan family... the slave of the Fanzi family!"

"So too, we are all slaves!"

People behind them also lit their heads.

Lu Zhou raised his eyes.

Good guy, in this great era, even the servants of the eight major merchants can eat fat and fat.

Lu Zhou smiled contemptuously and asked one of them: "Is the current situation in the city related to the secret action of the Eight Great Shangs?

Where did they bring the population, and people from other forces?”

This slave was still hesitant when he heard this.

Ge Sandao looked at Lu Zhou's face and slashed his head with one knife.

Next, it was another person's turn, and he said hurriedly: "On the edge of the Gobi Desert, near the Ordos Highlands.

He is the eldest son of the Fan family.

He led everyone in Guihua City... and relied on the Xitumot tribe to rebuild a place where they could trade!

Waiting for the accumulative aid, regaining the city of Huihua..."

"Well, that's what I want to hear."

Lu Zhou nodded with satisfaction.

These eight major merchant servants thought they could escape, but were quickly dragged down again.

According to Lu Zhou's order, all crimes of traitors will be dealt with.

After a neat gunshot, all the eight major merchants fell into a pool of blood.

Ge Sandao was excited to watch from the side and said to Lu Zhou again:

"Lord, the same is true of the news we sent back from the horse.
To be continued...
