In the past six months, Di Xin did not do anything extra, but only focused on Northern Xinjiang.
With the demise of the Turks, the improvement of people's lives, and the various favorable policies promulgated by the government from time to time, more and more people from various places migrated to northern Xinjiang.
Everyone yearns for a better life.
As a result, the economy of Northern Xinjiang has once again been promoted.
But this is only part of it.
With the increase in population, the population density in the original villages and towns has also reached saturation. Although there are two new cities on the grassland as relief, new gathering places have to be opened up.
This also means that Emperor Xin needs to enshrine the new land and Shuibo River God.
Fertile land increased and water sources increased, making northern Xinjiang more livable.
Now that we set foot on the northern border, no one can connect it with the barren land full of wind and sand a few years ago.
Under the virtuous cycle, not only the official treasury of the government, but also Emperor Xin's private treasury became more abundant.
However, Di Xin did not save all the money.
Only money that circulates is real wealth.
Repairing city defenses, afforestation, opening water sources... In this way, Di Xin circulated all the money while constantly changing the land of Northern Xinjiang, and then exchanged it for more wealth.
But these are not the most important.
For Di Xin, the most important thing is the combat power of the army.
Except for some equipment that could only be supplied by the imperial court, Di Xin did not touch the red line. Di Xin also upgraded and transformed the armor and weapons that were allowed to be made by oneself in Northern Xinjiang several times.
Although the number of the current Northern Xinjiang Army has not changed, its combat strength has more than doubled compared to half a year ago.
Including the 10,000 private troops that originally belonged to Liu Jiande, they were also trained by Di Xin into the real Northern Xinjiang Army. Now even if An Junshan comes in person, he will no longer see any problems.
Of course, this is the real data in Di Xin's hands.
Although Di Xin did not hide the fact that he was training troops externally, the data exposed only increased his combat power by less than half.
Although everyone knows that for the army, hiding clumsiness in daily life is a necessary task for the army, but no one expected that the military combat power displayed by Di Xin to the outside world would be so watery.
However, this is just the tip of the iceberg that Di Xin has hidden.
The Eagle Beak Cliff where Emperor Xin and the "Vampire Witch" once fell has been classified as a restricted area. Not to mention ordinary people, most officials in Northern Xinjiang are not allowed to approach it without permission.
Of course, this place is far away from the crowds, and not many people usually pass by, so no one raised any objections.
The person in charge here is none other than Ouyang Xuan, the commander and envoy of the capital.
At the same time, the troops stationed here are all the remaining expeditionary forces, except for the part stationed in the new city.
Under strict protection, there is a huge lake under the Yingzui Cliff.
With the increase in water resources in Northern Xinjiang, Di Xin specially sent people to divert some of the water sources here, secretly creating a huge lake.
On the lake, there are tower ships, fighting ships, stern ships... In addition to some warships that require special craftsmanship, all warships found in southern Xinjiang can be found here.
And this is Di Xin's greatest achievement in the past six months.
No, to be precise, this project started more than a year ago.
While the expeditionary force was still stationed outside southern Xinjiang, Anjunshan had already dug a large pit under Yingzui Cliff under Emperor Xin's order.
It was not until the expeditionary force returned that the Big Pit took shape.
Behind, Emperor Xin ordered people to secretly bring in water and turn the pit into a lake.
However, if you want to train warships suitable for naval battles, the lake still seems a bit narrow at first, so when the warships are being built, the lake is still widening.
Most of the money and resources in the official treasury and even Emperor Xin's private treasury were spent here.
He wants to build a navy belonging to Northern Xinjiang.
For the future journey involving the entire Ancient Moon Realm, the original thirty thousand expeditionary force alone will not be enough.
However, Di Xin also knew that even if a large amount of resources were spent to dig out a lake, it could not be compared with the real sea, let alone simulate the sea environment.
What can be built here is just the prototype of a navy.
But he still did it.
The purpose is just to shorten the time for the navy to take shape.
Of course, Dali has its own navy, and the army under Marquis Wucheng of Southern Xinjiang is dominated by the navy.
If Emperor Xin one day moves into Dali and becomes emperor, these navy masters will naturally belong to him.
But since he has cooperated with the old emperor, it is naturally impossible to seize his throne again.
Even though the old emperor's power will help him compete for the position of Lord of the Ancient Moon Realm in the future, it is not entirely his power after all.
Even if you are a partner, you still need to take precautions.
But it's not just defense. In Emperor Xin's plan, the tasks of the Northern Xinjiang Army and the Dali Navy in the hands of the old emperor were also different.
The Northern Xinjiang Army was created by Di Xin specifically to target the Adventors of the Realm Lord who were also competitors.
In the future, the battlefield where the World Lord will appear will be the journey of the Northern Xinjiang Army.
In the past six months, in addition to the troops stationed here, more than half of the Northern Xinjiang Army has come to this lake and undergone secret training.
The great water division that Emperor Xin needs has begun to take shape.
Next, more Northern Xinjiang troops will be secretly transferred for training.
When the time is right, these Northern Xinjiang troops who are familiar with the operation of warships will rush to Southern Xinjiang under Emperor Xin's order to complete the final training on the real sea.
Become a true naval force.
Coupled with the Northern Xinjiang Army's already strong land combat capabilities, apart from the air force that has not yet appeared in this era, the Northern Xinjiang Army will have no weaknesses in amphibious warfare.
And this is the biggest gift that Di Xin gave to those competitors in Gu Yue Realm.
…
Yanque Pass.
General's Mansion - now it should be called Marshal's Mansion.
In the study room of the Marshal's Mansion.
Ouyang Xuan, who returned from Yingzui Cliff, reported to Di Xin the progress of naval training.
"...Your Highness, excluding the previous expeditionary force, in three months time, all the Northern Xinjiang Army will be able to complete the first round of training."
"You did a great job."
Emperor Xin nodded slightly, and after praising him, he continued to warn: "This matter must still be carried out in secret, and must not be leaked. The investigation of the Northern Xinjiang Army heading to the foot of Yingzui Cliff must not be stopped."
"yes."
Ouyang Xuan handed over his hand.
The lake under the Eagle Beak Cliff is enough for tens of thousands of people to train. In addition to the expeditionary force, the reason why all the 60,000 Northern Xinjiang Army have not completed the first round of training is because of this investigation work.
Only the troops that have been inspected and confirmed that there are no spies from other forces will be taken to Eagle Beak Cliff for training.
Although this move cannot eliminate all spies, and the tens of thousands of Northern Xinjiang troops will inevitably spill the beans while sleeping, it is precisely because of this process that there is an extra lake under the Eagle Beak Cliff.
Although there are many people, few know the details.
