The Sacred Ding

After entering May, millions of generals, family members and craftsmen all withdrew into Qintong Mountain via Hengshan. Huang Shuang and Yan Yuan also led their troops to officially give up Tongkou in mid-May. Tianjun, Yandang and other cities shrank towards Hengshan…

Huang Shuangyu rode on, watching the golden waves on both sides of the gallop, feeling full of regret, as long as they can be in Yandang. No matter how long he stayed for more than a month, he would be able to have tens of millions of shi of grain confiscated into the treasury, but in order to obey the overall situation, no matter how reluctant he was, he could only give up the land they had built and operated with enthusiasm for several years.

In order to ensure an orderly evacuation and to ensure that the Hexi Iron Cavalry and Liang Yong Iron Wolf Army dared not chase after the tail, the crane daoist led the poultry battalion into the palace’s soldiers and horses, plus more than 200 vehicles. After the war chariot and four hundred heavy-bore crossbows, the enemy did not dare to cross the thunder pool for a half step.

For the time being, Dong and Miao have no intention of paying too heavy casualties for a decisive battle with the Longxiang Army, and the large numbers of soldiers and horses only slowly follow after the Longxiang Army retreats, as easy as blowing off dust Take over the city after another abandoned by the Long Xiangjun.

Perhaps the Longxiang Army withdrew too hastily and abandoned them in the towns along the Yucheng Ridge and deep in the Yandang Plain. Not only the city wall built by melting iron is intact, the houses in the town, The workshops have been preserved, and there are even some heavy materials like copper and iron, all abandoned in the city.

On the Yandang Plain, 400,000 troops went south in three batches. The several gallops extending from Hengshan City to the depths of Yandang Plain were full of dust.

The ordinary people who have finally settled down in Yandang Plain have seen this scene, and their hearts are full of mixed flavors.

As far as they are concerned, they are naturally more willing to accept the rule of Long Xiangjun.

In the past few years, they have been living in Yandang Plain. Not only did the Longxiang Army give them food to survive the famine, but also the Longxiang Army distributed farm tools, cattle or camel horses to help them build houses in Yandang Plain. , Reclamation of wasteland, planting food, not to mention that the Long Xiangjun has been building water conservancy projects in Yandang Plain in the past few years, and the roads extending in all directions have been built. The cultivated land is also directly allocated to individuals.

Everything about them can be said to be given by Long Xiangjun.

Now that the Long Xiangjun is leaving, those clan clans who can eat people without spitting out bones are coming. How can they make them happy? But they finally took root in Yandang Plain, cultivated and owned their own fields. How many people among ordinary people can resolutely give up all this and follow the Longxiang Army to retreat to Qintong Mountain, which has more mountains and less land?

Even so, the total number of soldiers and civilians who eventually retreated to the Liquan General Administration Mansion still exceeded 2,000,000.

This caused Guo Hongjuan, who stayed in Tongbei Prefecture to preside over government affairs, an unusual headache.

In the Qin Tong Mountain, there are a lot of arable land in Tongbei, Tongzhong, and Tongnan. However, Liquan, which has many mountains and small fields, has gathered a large number of craftsmen and has entered the cultivation of Tianji Academy. The children, as many as 4500,000, are not concerned with farming.

At this time, it is necessary to ensure that Liquan’s many smelters, mines, and many foundry plants can operate efficiently. The three houses of Tongbei, Tongzhong, and Tongnan, even if there is surplus grain, will let Liquan here. The bottomless pit on the side has been swallowed up, and now suddenly there are 2,000,000 more mouths to eat. Every day, he needs 6 7,000,000 catties of grain. How can Guo Hongzhen not worry?

However, he didn’t at all have a headache for too long. Soon the Fengyan airship was loaded with grain from Yanjing and flew into Liquan against the biting wind to supplement the lack of grain.

The Gyeonggi Plain is the largest granary in Yenching.

However, the capacity of the Fengyan airship is limited. One round trip of the Fengyan airship, plus necessary maintenance and repairs, takes six days. Twenty Fengyan airships can only transport less than 1,000,000 per day. The catty of grain entered Liquan, but fortunately, land transportation also quickly followed up, but there was no famine.

Although Qintong Xiguan controlled Hua Yang Sect, as Longxiang’s first and second town divisions withdrew eastward, they quickly strengthened their control over Tongbei, Tongnan, and Tongzhong. A large number of family members of the generals and peasants were also resettled to Tongzhong and Tongnan in order to reduce the food pressure on Liquan.

And Chen Hai has already started to build a plank road between Yuting City and Tongbei Prefecture.

The so-called plank road is mainly to dig holes on the cliffs, insert stone piles or wooden piles, and pave stones and planks across to facilitate pedestrians and traffic. Although it is easy to be destroyed by wind and rain, it also bears load. The secret war chariot can’t pass through, and it is even easy to scold for the infiltrating enemy troops. But it is much easier than using the broken rock war chariot to dig deep mountain tunnels, and the cost is much less. It is also currently strengthening the Gyeonggi Plain and Qintong Mountain. The best choice for hinterland connections.

This work has been carried out for three months. From Jiangzu and Minyong, hundreds of thousands of Jianyong have been requisitioned. The plank road deep in the eastern foothills of Qintong Mountain has been repaired to nearly a thousand li or so long. Two months will allow cattle, horses and camels to transport supplies.

In that case, adding thirty-forty post and transit warehouses in the depths of the eastern foothills of Qintong Mountain, using only the most traditional means to ensure the transfer of materials between the two places, while also relying on these posts Place hundreds of thousands of people in some river valleys, basins, and dams deep in the eastern foothills of Qintong Mountain, reclaim more grain fields, plant more medicine mountains, and open up more mines…

The policy of dividing the land by the division of land has not only aroused the idea of ​​the clan lords, but the world’s poor children are also eagerly watching the development of the situation.

Millions of clansman from the Xiyuan Army and the Six Factions withdrew from Gyeonggi and entered Jiyang County, where they invaded the mountains, forests, lakes and cultivated land.

If only this is the case, it’s nothing. After all, Jiyang County experienced the Black Swallow Army’s rebellion, and the population dropped to more than 4 million people. Although it has recovered in recent years, there is still only war. It was only 40% before it happened, and there was a lot of land barren and uncultivated.

However, there are millions of clansman in the six clansman, and there are so many people who do not work on farming and weaving. Not only do they have to take over the mature fields that have been cultivated, but also the peasants who have cultivated these fields are forced into slavery.

And to guarantee the supply of the coalition forces gathered in Lichuan County, Crown Prince Yingdan not only levied extravagance in Lichuan County, but all counties also increased rent and taxes, which caused a lot of grievances.

Under the high pressure of the various cliques, ordinary people seem to exist as trivial ant, and there is no room for struggle or resistance, but the knight-errant and Wu Yong, who are born in a poor family and dare to commit crimes, face the Long Xiangjun. The policy of enclosing equal fields in Gyeonggi and Qintongshan is full of yearning.

Especially after Xie Jueyuan came out of the mountain, he was entrusted by Chen Hai as the Libation Chancellor of Tianji Academy. Since then, in addition to Puppet Technique, Warcraft, and Martial Dao, Tianji Academy has also increased There are three subjects of Xuanfa, Swordsmanship, and Alchemy Technique. All of the poor students can take the exam to enter the palace cultivation. Every day, there are hundreds of knight-errants and Xiangyong who came from poor families. They climbed mountains and ridges to enter the plains of Gyeonggi and Qintong. , Request to join the Dragon Xiangjun, or enter the cultivation of the Tianji Academy.

When the lords realized this problem and began to assign elite children to completely blockade all the remote mountain roads to Gyeonggi, the Tianji Academy expropriated a large amount of dísciple from the Guining Army, Shinjuku Guards, and Jianxiu Camp. Later, the scale of dísciple returned to its peak.

After the capture of Yanjing City, Chen Hai ordered Yao Wenjin to lead his troops to take the Azure Dragon Valley with the help of thunderbolt, and then ordered Yao Wenjin to lead 400,000 elites from the third town division of the Longxiang Army to garrison Azure Dragon Valley.

In order to block the allied forces of the crown prince from winning the Dan’s favor, from Azure Dragon Valley to Gyeonggi, Chen Hai not only invited Helan Jianzun Huang Qiwei to Azure Dragon Valley to sit down, he also won Heaven and Earth. The first defensive Qiantian Xuanji Formation and eight super-bore crossbows are deployed in Azure Dragon Valley.

Apart from this, Chen Hai also strengthened the Dragon Chess Army with the speed of 20,000 new pawns, 20 war chariots, 40 heavy-bore crossbows, and one super-bore crossbow every month. Three Towns Division.

Le Yi and Han Jian led the Longxiang Army’s fourth town division and stationed in Tiechengling. Although they would not be able to attack Wusheng Pass for a while, they also blocked Wei Ziya, Yu Zonghu and Su Wei. The remnants of the army attacked northern Beijing.

In early June, Chen Hai rushed to Tiechengling, surrounded by Huwei Camp, and personally presided over the battle against Wushengguan.

At this time, the first and second town divisions of the Longxiang Army have already withdrawn to Qintong Mountain, completing the journey from Liquan to Hengshan, Tongzhong Mansion to Qintong Xiguan, Tongnan Mansion to Qinchuan Tea Horse For the defense of the ancient road, the crane daoist also led the war bird camp back to Gyeonggi and merged with Chen Hai.

The sound of hooves, the horns of the car, and the newly repaired Tiechengling are already in sight. From Tiechengling 30 li to the north, Yannansai, the southernmost part of Wusheng Pass, is also waving. Soldiers and horses are just like.

Wei Ziya and the others will naturally not believe that Chen Hai will let them go. He has already made preparations in Yannansai, waiting for the Long Xiang army to attack.

Le Yi followed Chen Hai to the main peak of Tiechengling, squinted his eyes and looked north, knowing that he could only take down the South Sansai of Wushengguan controlled by the remnant of the Suwei Army. To seal off the gap between the coalition forces of the lords to attack the Gyeonggi Plain from the north, Chen Hai’s strategic intentions were initially completed.

At this moment, Ning Chan’er, like a wisp of light smoke, disappears in the mountains between Qintong Mountain and Yanshan Mountain, restraining aura, flying to the north between the dangerous mountains and ravines. Escape.

Although Tie Kun is obedient to Chen Hai’s words, Chen Hai wants Tieya Department to abandon Mount Yao and move towards Shouyang Mountain as a whole, in order to form the northern part of Liangyong counties and the Iron Wolf Army. The strong military pressure makes it more convenient for the blood demons to evade south in time when the catastrophe comes.

At this time, even if Tie Kun still obeys Chen Hai’s words, there will inevitably be great controversy and opposition within the Tieya Department.

Chen Hai can only ask Ning Chan’er to take the risk to make sure that the Iron Cliff Department can act according to his plan…
