The Legend of the Great Wilderness

Chapter 206 Witchcraft
Gu Ning said: "Although our "Gu's Sales Company" relies on water transportation, the impact is not too great, but the land traffic has almost been cut off, and now the cities and forts can only fight on their own. It is said that several [army fortresses] have been captured by the Li and Yi rebels, I think we have to take precautions in advance!"

Guyi was a little surprised. Originally, he thought that with the strict military city and military fort system in Dahuang, he would have a strong control over the local area. He didn't expect that just the rebellion of some ethnic minorities would cause the huge [Qingshan Mansion] to become a mess. , Are those Li Yi rebels superhuman?
"Then our horse road construction plan, isn't it a waste?"

Guyi rubbed his chin, frowned and said: "Also, isn't [Rongshi City] under the jurisdiction of [Qingshan Mansion]? With such a serious rebellion, can't other [scholar cities] in [Qingshan Mansion] rush to help? Don't the chiefs of [Zhongrong County] ignore it?"

"No! Our horse road construction not only did not go to waste, but the cities and castles have increased their investment and support for the horse road construction, and at the same time they are still ordering a large amount of cement from us!"

Gu Ning shook his head: "Based on the cement consumption of the construction of the horseway, the order has more than tripled. If it is not limited by the transportation volume, it is difficult to transport to places a little farther away. It is estimated that the demand will increase dozens of times or even exceed hundred times!"

Guyi nodded, this is quite reasonable, as long as you are not a fool, you should be able to see how useful cement, an artifact, is in building defense. It would be strange not to regard it as a key military supply.

And the construction of the horse road is a big killer that is convenient for dispatching soldiers and transporting luggage for the cities and fortresses who are exhausted in order to wipe out the Liyi rebels who are running around all over the place. There is no reason not to use such a good thing.

"As for what Shaoyi said about Shangguan's failure to send guards to help... It's not just [Qingshan Mansion] that has rebelled recently. Among the nine prefectures of [Zhongrong County], rebellions broke out in three prefectures. Some tycoons who were dormant on weekdays have also taken advantage of the momentum, and the various prefectures are simply too busy to take care of themselves, so there is no time to care about the life and death of the neighboring prefectures!"

This partner with magical means is good at everything, but he is too ignorant of world affairs.

"As for the county king of [Zhongrong County], the county has long been devastated, and the 81st county of [Zhongyouyu] has already seen signs of troubled times. The saying of 'thousands of villages are left behind by thunderbolts, and thousands of households are sung by bleak ghosts' The situation is no longer a matter of a day or two.”

Gu Ning smiled wryly: "It's just that recently, several prefectures near [Shangyang Pass] lost their battles, and a large number of defeated troops and refugees crossed [Shangyang Pass], and crossed eight thousand postscripts [Sacrificial Bone Plain] to death, burning the flames of war to the limit. [Zhongrong County], which can barely be regarded as a paradise, has come, in order to resist the collapse of the army, the county king dispatched soldiers from the nine prefectures to defend against the enemy, and there is still energy to suppress the rebellion.”

Guyi clicked his tongue. Although he had heard that the wild world was in chaos before, the jurisdiction of [Ironforge] was still peaceful and peaceful. He didn't have any sense of war, but he didn't expect it to be so serious now. up?

"Because of the current situation of war, all places are desperately hoarding food and supplies. Although our sales company is trying its best to buy food, the share of food received has dropped by more than [-]% compared to last month. It is estimated that in a few months, Not even a grain of grain can be harvested!"

Gu Ning said worriedly: "Shaoyi, should we hold off on taking in the slave people? Although [Qingshi City] has stockpiled countless grains for several years, the more the population, the greater the consumption. We don't know how long the war will last, we have to take precautions early..."

Gu Yi thought for a while, then shook his head and said: "No! Then take in the slaves, the population is not too much! And it's not limited to 2000 million, as much as the merchants can move in! Grain should continue to be purchased as much as possible, isn't it spring now? ? We can farm it ourselves!"

Gu Ning was dumbfounded, did Shaoyi's madness strike again?Nowadays, the lords of the feudal cities all over the country are reducing the number of slaves in the fiefdoms in order to save food and fodder, but he is open to recruiting the slaves?
"This... It is not difficult to search for Limin now. Liying and Lilan in various places are clearing away Limin. Some simply cancel the establishment of Lilan and drive Limin into the wilderness to fend for themselves. Now they are taking in Limin. You don’t even need to negotiate with the official envoys, as long as you release the news, those slave people who were expelled from the Liying and Lilan will migrate here by themselves.”

Gu Ning was puzzled and said, "But why did Shaoyi do this? Although our stockpile of grain and fodder is huge, it can't withstand several waves of 'slave tides'. If it is to organize the slaves to protect themselves, I'm afraid it won't be able to stop them." Are those strong people who live in the Li and Yi tribes?"

Gu Yi smiled: "It's not just for the sake of self-protection. The business owner can just recruit people at ease! I have my own use!"

The Great Wilderness World is too big, so big that even Guyi feels timid, and dare not leave the area he is familiar with easily, for fear that he will not be able to reach his destination for half his life, but except for those populated areas, the land of the Great Wilderness From Yi's point of view, it's so fertile and rich that it makes people want to scold their mothers.

The most annoying thing is that such a large piece of unowned land is in an undeveloped state of the original ecology, but those town owners keep a large number of slaves in the slave pens as livestock, ignoring human rights and oppressing the sky. How can it be embarrassing for things to dust the pearl of this fertile land?
Before [Blue Stone City] hadn’t developed yet, it’s fine, but now there are all technical talents and sufficient resources, and the business of "Tiangong Group" is also on the track of conscience circle. The stone mountain is sky high and the emperor is far away from anyone.

What reason does he have, not to take advantage of the opportunity of the aborigines in this wilderness who have no time to interfere with him, harvest the population to expand, and develop his own power as much as possible?So Gu Ning was worried about Li Yi's chaos, but Gu Yi felt that this was an excellent opportunity for him to take advantage of the situation!
"But...but..."

Gu Ning saw that Guyi didn't seem to understand what he meant, and realized the seriousness of Li Yi's disaster, he couldn't help stammering anxiously, unable to think of any reason to dissuade Guyi from such an irrational behavior.

"Business owner, don't worry!"

Gu Yi comforted Ning carelessly: "Look, there are so many [Mintun] and [Shuzhai], but the scale of tens of thousands of people, the defense is far worse than our [Qingshi City]. Don't worry, we [Qingshi City] have a population of several million, what is there to worry about?"

Gu Ning, who was blocked by Gu Yi's unreasonable reasoning for a while, found that Gu Yi seemed to have completely blank understanding of the environment and situation of the Great Wilderness World. They don't know, they naively think that if the population is large enough, they will be able to have a strong enough self-protection force, which made Yan Ning not know how to explain it to Guyi for a while.

After deliberating for a while, Gu Ning said: "Shaoyi may think that a large population is a good thing, but Shaoyi has never thought about why the lords of other feudal cities would send ten times as many vassals Population expulsion, instead of using them to resist the rebels of the Li and Yi tribes?"

"Do you think the Limin are too weak? Or do you think they have too many people and consume too much food, so they will be expelled to save food and ensure that the fief can hold on for a longer time?"

Gu Yi also found it strange that before the army came, he drove away the vital forces under his command, what kind of cheapness was this?

"No matter how weak the scribes are, they can still build city defenses, transport supplies, and support logistics. No matter how poor they are, they can also be used as scribes. They can be used as human walls and shields to consume enemy soldiers. How could they be abandoned by the city lord like a broom Usually expel them clean?"

Gu Ning smiled wryly: "It is true that there are many [witch xí] people among the hundreds of Li and Yi tribes, and they are good at [witch skills] in all kinds of strange things, and they are the most proficient in killing and seizing souls, driving corpses and exorcising ghosts, and poisoning and plague. A large number of scribes live in the scribes outside the city, and they are the most vulnerable to poison!"

Lian Ning, a well-informed and well-informed man, also had a hint of fear in his eyes: "As long as there is a slave citizen who is poisoned by a witch with [spell], he will soon be resurrected. The [ghouls] and [zhān evils] driven by witches can be passed on to ten, ten to a hundred, and within half a day, they can form a vast ocean of corpses, which are invincible!"

Gu Yi was horrified, what the hell?Maoshan exorcism technique?Necromancer?Or is it simply the Resident Evil version of Nima Wilderness?
Just when he was about to ask, Gu Yi suddenly reacted: "That's not right? If you want to say what the merchant said about 'Wuxi' or 'No Interest', since you can poison the people outside the city, why can't you poison the people inside the city?" ? The number of common people in any feudal city will not be less than there?"

"Shaoyi still didn't understand that the main purpose of driving out the slave people was to prevent them from becoming the flesh and blood of witches refining [ghouls] and [devils]. At least it will be easier to defend yourself!"

Gu Ning was a little speechless about Gu Yi's ignorance: "I'm afraid Shao Yi doesn't know about the so-called 'separation of soldiers and civilians', right? We [Rongshi City] and [Ironforge Castle] are located in remote areas. Desolate places, [Military City], [Rong Fort] that belong to the frontier and are in charge of guarding..."

"...Different from the general [Shicheng] and [Minbao] in the inner domain, there are a large number of soldiers, warriors and other guards stationed there, just to defend the 'people's territory' in the inner domain, from the barbarians. Barbarians are invading. As long as there are not too many enemies, with the strength of Rongbao, self-defense is more than enough!"

Gu Yi knows no less than dozens of cities in the area under the jurisdiction of [Ironforge Fortress] alone, and some of the population gathering areas established by local clan tyrants are even larger than [Ironforge Fortress] , unexpectedly, it was not included in the urban system at all

Gu Yi was tongue-tied, co-authoring what is often said [Zhongrong County] Jiufu, 81 cities, 720 and nine forts, all referring to the garrison military area?
