The Forbidden Army left in a hurry and exited the restricted area designated by Qianye. They did not stay long after leaving the restricted area. They only rested for a short time before breaking camp and heading back to the royal capital. After being forced back by naval guns, Commander Xue had no choice but to retreat.
Qianye doesn't care or care about how he will complain to Nan Ruohuai after he returns to the royal capital.
In the next few days, the sky in Tacheng suddenly changed. It was like entering the end of the world. Huge cloud vortices were always rotating in the sky, making people in the city suddenly think that the sky was moving.
At the moment of panic, Xu Jingxuan personally came forward to inform the whole city, saying that this vision was caused by Master Qianye's cultivation, and there was no need to panic. However, although people's hearts were calm, heated discussions arose.
How many times have people imagined that one person can move the world through cultivation?
In fact, Qianye himself was also very depressed. When Zhang Boqian revised the Taixuan Military Conquest Technique, he considered all aspects, but he did not expect that Qianye had not yet faced the enemy, and the force movement in his body alone could move the heaven and earth on such a scale.
However, although the practice caused a commotion, there was an unexpected gain. The news spread at an alarming speed. People in the entire territory of Tacheng worshiped Qianye as a god, even more enthusiastic than the former Imperial Master.
.Some people even think that they are the only people of Qianye and have nothing to do with Zheng Guo. Some people even begin to think enthusiastically about what the new country should be called.
With Xu Jingxuan here, the Western Expedition is proceeding in an orderly manner. Since the beginning of the recruitment, batches of scouts have been sent out to collect the latest information on the dark races in the Western Region. By now, the latest batch of scouts have returned and are hanging on the
On the large map of the war room, the number of markers gradually increases.
By the time Qianye finished a stage of training and summoned the generals again, the large map was already covered with dense markings, and even a small tribal camp was clearly marked.
Seeing this clear and well-structured map, all knowledgeable people admired it and admired Xu Jingxuan.
During this period of training for the new army, the mercenary generals also saw Xu Jingxuan's tactics of leading troops and his huge popularity in the Western Region. They had all been on the line of life and death, so they naturally knew what kind of soldiers were on the battlefield.
It can be used. In just over ten days, Xu Jingxuan allowed a group of inexperienced civilians to initially master the basic warrior skills and enforce orders and prohibitions. No general dislikes such soldiers.
Although most of the mercenary generals have a rough background, they have survived in a neutral place to this day and have achieved such achievements. No one is stupid. They know who really knows how to fight and who just reads military books. They are serious on the battlefield, and they are sure to talk about war on paper.
He won't live long.
Xu Jingxuan stood in front of the map, straightened his back unknowingly, and his whole demeanor became calm and confident. He pointed at a series of marks and said: "This large corridor in the western border is more than 500 kilometers long, with an average width of 90 kilometers.
Kilometers, the narrowest point is only 15 kilometers. It turns north here and extends for another 140 kilometers to the Emerald Sea, which is the base camp of the werewolves."
He didn't say much about the Emerald Sea, but pointed back to the Grand Corridor, "According to the latest information, there are a total of 166 tribes of dark races living within a hundred kilometers, with a total population of nearly 300,000.
.In addition, the dark race has built two large fortress groups here. In addition to the two main fortresses, there are nearly twenty small fortresses or stone fortresses scattered around the perimeter."
Some mercenary generals looked solemn, but several captains from the Song clan looked relaxed and said with a smile: "What age are you still building such small fortresses and stone fortresses? Isn't this to practice the accuracy of our gunners?"
"
When the mercenary generals thought that this was indeed the truth, they all burst into laughter, mocking the stupidity of the dark race with every word they said.
Qianye knocked on the table to ask them to quiet down and continue to listen to Xu Jingxuan's explanation.
Xu Jingxuan's face was slightly red, and he explained: "We in the Zheng Kingdom have never had a fleet of this size, let alone a large ship that can withstand the bombardment of ground turrets. The fleet is mainly used for reconnaissance, chasing and annihilating the remaining enemies, and fighting in the wild. It will not
Participated in the siege."
Qianye nodded. He seized more than a dozen large and small aerospace ships from the Zheng Kingdom. Most of them were old models. Their maneuverability and firepower were lacking, and they did not have enough firepower to destroy the main turret of the city defense with one shot.
In fact, the design of Zheng Guocheng's anti-cannon is quite unique. It should be specially designed to deal with the strong attack by the upper-class nobles of the dark race. It is powerful and has excellent defense-breaking performance. It can almost blast the belly armor of a battle cruiser. According to this power, even a cruiser can be used as a weapon.
Can't stand the turret bombardment.
But Qianye has a battle patrol in his hands, which is enough to change the entire rules of the game. The dark race's first-line defense system, which they thought was impregnable, has become vulnerable. After pulling out the small outer fortresses and stone fortresses, the remaining two main fortresses
It can't last long.
Xu Jingxuan ordered people to hang up two more pictures, which turned out to be the structure and defense distribution map of the two main fortresses of the dark race. Although it was very rough, the facade structure was still clear, and the internal distribution was quite messy, but under Zheng Guo's previous situation, this
This is extremely valuable information.
Qianye glanced at him, nodded and said, "You do have a good heart."
Xu Jingxuan said: "My subordinates' wish for many years is to be able to build a large corridor and march to the Emerald Sea. So I usually have nothing to do, so I collected more information."
Qianye smiled slightly and said: "It's good to have this intention. Follow me well, and it won't take long before you get what you want."
Xu Jingxuan breathed a little heavier and bowed solemnly.
In the past, the Zheng State was weak and had only a vast territory, but most of its power was spent on internal fighting. Its strength was only equivalent to that of a county in the empire. Regardless of the official position, the specifications of its military and armaments were similar to those of the stronger counties of Da Qin.
.With such national power, even generals like Xu Jingxuan are unable to penetrate into the depths of the Great Corridor. They can only defend and prevent the dark race from rushing out of the Great Corridor.
After Xu Jingxuan retreated, Song Hui walked to the stage and hung up a picture. The mercenary generals below suddenly frowned, and they all had grimaces on their faces.
Song Hui's picture is intricate and intricate. It is filled with diagrams, numbers and formulas. The mercenary generals are all used to dealing with diagrams, which makes them feel overwhelmed by reading, let alone the dense numbers. As for numbers and figures,
The formula that combines the words is completely like a heavenly book. No matter how hard you look at it, you still can't understand it.
Even Qianye had to look carefully to see that this was a chart of the current economic structure.
What's rare is that Song Hui not only included the Zheng Kingdom part in this list, but also included those from the Neutral Land and Ningyuan Heavy Industry. Qianye didn't remember that she had been to the Neutral Land. Could it be that she just checked the ship's
With the accompanying information, she was able to sort out such a complex and rigorous system?
Song Hui briefly introduced the construction rules and uses of this model, which lasted less than five minutes. In fact, it was useless if she talked too much. Even Qianye couldn't understand it, and the group of mercenary generals all looked different.
Looking blankly is like listening to a book from heaven.
Xu Jingxuan is not much better. He is good at leading troops to fight, but how can you understand these financial management methods that originated from the core of the Song Dynasty without some basic knowledge? You can also hear that there are several rules related to military logistics.
Song Hui skipped the reasoning part and directly came to the conclusion: "With the current output of black stone and other energy sources in Zhengzhou, with the efforts of the whole country, the annual output can run our fleet for three months. But only based on the corridor area currently controlled
, then only one and a half months. According to existing information, construction of new mines and new mines will start from now on.
Refining equipment can double the output in about six months, and quadruple the current level in a year, but that’s it. In other words, either we get more mines from Zheng Guo, or we have to get more mines from neutral
Transport fuel from other places or even the empire itself. In doing so, the transportation cost will be higher than the price of the fuel itself."
Qianye frowned. He had prepared a large amount of supplies for this expedition to the mainland, but he did not expect that after the conquest of the Zheng Kingdom's fleet, the size would nearly double, and the fuel demand would also more than double. Those old models of the Zheng Kingdom
The battleships are not very powerful, consume a lot of energy, and are all ferocious beasts that eat black stones.
Now that the fleet can still maintain operation for more than a month, it must be replenished.
Song Hui waited for Qianye to think for a while, and then said: "This is just black stone fuel. Next, we will talk about the supply of parts and the repair of the aerospace ship..."
If you want to repair an aerostat, you naturally need a repair workshop, and you can imagine how big a workshop a battle cruiser needs. To build a workshop, you need equipment, craftsmen, power towers, and placement of craftsmen.
Family members... etc., etc., Song Hui listed more than 170 items in the rough outline alone, not counting the detailed items under each rough outline. For example, there are more than thousands of important parts and components, each of which
There are dozens of consumables and models. There are so many types of consumables that it gives me a headache just thinking about them.
Fortunately, Song Hui’s final conclusion was that most of them can be obtained in Zheng. Even if there are no dark races in Zheng, there will be some. Yong Continent’s own production is quite diverse. The quantity and high-end products are not as good as those in the middle and upper continents.
There are still a lot of high-end resources. It's just that the force here is too chaotic, the local exploration and mining technology is not enough, the production is not good, and it cannot attract foreign investment, so it has become what it is now.
Moreover, even if the land is not available, it can still be transported from a neutral place or the empire itself, but it is just more expensive.
It turned out that they just wanted money. Qianye understood and breathed a sigh of relief.
Song Hui saw Qianye's thoughts and said angrily: "This is not just a matter of money."
"What else is there?" Qianye asked humbly. He had already been given a headache by those piles of numerical formulas, and he really didn't want to read them again.
Song Hui took a picture of the map and said: "Didn't I just say that Zheng has most of the things? I really don't see the need to keep this Zheng. Why don't you just take it over? You have it all.
One-third of the land, what’s the big deal if we occupy another two-thirds.”
Qianye didn't realize that Song Hui was still a war madman through and through. But he had already agreed to Nan Ruohuai to let him become Prince Zheng. It would not be good to leave it like this until Nan Ruohuai had no obvious dereliction of duty or evil intentions.
Destroy him. Moreover, occupying it is easy, but maintaining it is not as easy as Song Hui said. Unless you loot and massacre the city and then run away, it will most likely turn into a security war.
Qianye thought for a while and said: "The Zheng Kingdom is such a big place, and it will be of no use if we occupy it all. Whatever we need, we will naturally grab it from the dark race. We will start making full preparations for the war from now on, and we will officially start the Western Expedition in a week."
In addition, Song Hui will be responsible for the logistics support, which can coordinate the supply of all resources within our territory."
This was considered to be a powerful move, but Song Hui was not very happy and said: "I don't want to stay behind, I want to fight!"
No matter how big her breasts were, there was no way Qianye would agree to this. At that moment, Qianye ignored her sad look, arranged other personnel, readjusted the authority to lead the troops, and announced that the meeting was adjourned.
