In Dengzhou Prefecture, after the initial panic, the people in the city have regained their composure on the surface. Although the curfew is still maintained at night, the Fuxing Society did not restrict the movement of people during the day, and the people's production and life gradually began to resume.
The defensive heavy artillery on the city wall has been installed, and the Renaissance Army has begun to expand to the periphery. Whether it is on the endless sea or on the vast rivers, with steamships and new ship-based artillery, they are completely worthy.
What really needs to be managed carefully is the land. Dengzhou Prefecture is adjacent to the Bohai Bay. The defense on the north does not need to be worried about, but the defense on the other three sides requires some thought.
Li Jie has no plans to continue to expand for the time being. It is expected that in the next two years, the Fuxing Society will focus on the areas around Dengzhou Prefecture. The consumption of supplies for the long-term occupation is a big problem.
It is impossible to rely entirely on external blood transfusions and must be self-sufficient.
In recent years, Fuxing Society has not only invested heavily in industry, but agricultural research has also declined. After several rounds of breeding, the yield per mu of crops has increased significantly. The yield per mu of rice is as high as more than 400 kilograms. The yield per mu of wheat is slightly inferior.
It weighs less than three hundred pounds.
Even so, the yields of rice and wheat per acre are enough to stand out today!
If they want to resume production, they must protect the fertile farmland outside the city. The Fuxing Society has to expand the defense circle and build forts and small fortresses along the way. For others, building fortresses is time-consuming and laborious, but these are for the Fuxing Society who masters gunpowder and cement.
I mean, it's not that big of a problem.
There is no shortage of people, no shortage of materials, only time.
Li Jie had already prepared for the worst. If the Li family immediately sent troops to suppress the situation, they would immediately abandon the surrounding areas. He would first inflict pain on them, and then gradually encroach on the surrounding areas.
Who would have thought that if there was no news from the Li family for a long time, Li Jie would certainly not be polite. He would go all out and occupy dangerous areas first, build fortresses, and swallow up the area around Dengzhou Prefecture in one fell swoop.
Once the fortress was built, even if Li came with a large army, the Renaissance Army would not be afraid at all. They only needed a few rounds of volleys from the city defense artillery, but they would not dare to step even half a step within the range of the cannon.
With a sharp weapon in hand, Li Jie will naturally not be satisfied with just defense.
The best defense is offense!
The construction of the Mongolian naval force is even worse than that of the Jin Kingdom. An armored fleet composed entirely of steamships is enough to defeat the entire Mongolian navy.
Li Jie wants Mongolia to sail down the river without a single sail!
As the saying goes, before the troops move, food and grass go first. Compared with road transportation that is time-consuming, laborious and costly, water transportation has unparalleled advantages. Once control of the rivers is lost, Mongolia's logistical pressure will inevitably increase dramatically.
If it were a world of low martial arts, Li Jie would have been able to seal the outcome of the war with this advantage alone. However, the world of the Southern Song Dynasty was not a world of low martial arts. It was probably considered a world of medium martial arts, which was still some distance away from the world of high martial arts.
After all, the development time of the Fuxing Society is too short, and it lacks top-level combat power. The only master masters are Wanyan Bupo and Li Jie. Innate warriors have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, but the barrier to becoming a master is not that good.
Breakthrough.
According to Li Jie's estimation, in another five to ten years, our own high-end combat capabilities will be able to catch up.
Due to the lack of high-end combat power, Li Jie did not go too far. Although he currently seems to be monopolizing the waterway, this is only temporary.
In order to prevent the Mongols from sending masters to raid the fleet, Li Jie will be moving with the fleet in the near future.
On the one hand, it is to protect his own fleet from unnecessary battle damage. On the other hand, he is preparing to instigate the Mongolians. It is best to attract a grandmaster, as long as the one who comes is not a top grandmaster like Jinlun Dharma King and Xiao Qianjue.
Li Jie is confident that he will stay with her forever.
Grandmasters are national treasures to any force. Losing one of them is enough to break the opponent's muscles and bones and break their heart. The innate masters in the world are like crucian carp crossing the river, but there are only a few who have broken through to become a grandmaster.
On the Jiaolong, Li Jie stood on the deck and stared at both sides of the Yellow River, thoughtfully.
"President, who do you think the Tatars will send this time?"
Sanli stood on the deck with Li Jie. After a long time, he felt a little bored and couldn't help but joke.
"Who do you want to come?"
Sanli chuckled: "Of course I hope the Tatars will send a grand master, but of course, don't send the old monster Blackwater or King Jinlun."
"However, the probability of the two of them coming is really low. Jinlun Dharma King is the Mongolian national master, so he will definitely not be dispatched easily. Xiao Qianjue has an extremely weird temperament and has always listened to orders but not propaganda, unless the poor scholar Gong Yangyu appears.
In the fleet, otherwise he wouldn't have come."
Li Jie glanced sideways at him and said calmly.
"Whether the Tatar faction sends a master depends on your performance! Haven't you always said that training at sea is not good? This time your chance to perform is here!"
Sanli patted his chest and said, "President, just be careful, if you don't turn the Tatars upside down this time, my last name will be written upside down!"
Li Jie chuckled: "Three is still three when you turn it upside down."
Sanli smiled awkwardly and quickly added: "Well, I'm talking about my nature."
Li Jie nodded: "That's more or less the same, but I declare in advance that I will not take action unless the other party sends a grandmaster. If it is Xiantian, no matter who the other party is or how famous he is, I will not take action."
Sanli said with a smile: "It should be so. If you can't handle it innately, my brothers will not have the face to see you in the future."
Li Jie has gone through several lives and has countless magical skills in his mind. A few leaks from the seams of his hands are enough for members of the Fuxing Society to learn them. If outsiders were to know about the martial arts displayed in the Sutra Pavilion of the Fuxing Society, they would probably break their heads.
To join the Fuxing Society.
In addition to the martial arts, Li Jie also revealed the secret medicinal bath recipe of the royal family in the First World. Although the core members of the Fuxing Society were very young when they joined and their role was limited, they could still provide some assistants. Over time, they gained
The following should not be underestimated either.
Sanli, Liu Xiaoyu, Su Shan, Sun Yuan, and Wu Keli have all broken through to Xiantian. Among them, Liu Xiaoyu is the youngest, but has made the fastest progress. He has already begun to attack the late Xiantian, and the future is promising. The next grandmaster in the Fuxing Society is extremely
It might be him.
Three days later, Yidu Mansion.
All the spies sent by Yang Miaozhen came back, but naturally found nothing. As early as two days ago, she asked Li Fen to report the situation in Dengzhou Prefecture to Kuokuo Buhua.
When Kuokuo Buhua heard that someone actually occupied Dengzhou Prefecture, he was immediately furious and ordered to send out troops to attack the rebels on a certain day. After two days of emergency dispatch, the army was ready to go and could set off with just one order!
