Even if he helped the Ye family successfully restore the country in the later period, Ye Qinglin would not be able to allocate a piece of water and grass land within the Pinglu Oasis for the Jingjue Protectorate to establish a foothold.
Each military mansion has between 200 and 500 guards. In addition to farming and herding in peacetime, training in leisure time, and gathering in wartime, they are also responsible for building military sentries. At the same time, Dong Ning also plans to send 50 guards to the military mansion. Black-feathered giant eagles and corresponding imperial eagle soldiers are assigned to each military mansion.
If you remove all the sand covering the rock formations, you will find that the area around Black Mountain is like a shallow trough-shaped basin surrounded by mountains, with dozens of oases on the periphery, which is exactly the main peak of the ring-shaped mountain range outside the shallow trough-shaped basin.
Now we still need to do some basic operations.
Of course, the Jingjue Protectorate will also provide support in terms of elixirs, armor, and weapons to the following.
Chen Hai smiled slightly and didn't want to explain anything.
This is the foundation for the Jingjue Protectorate to truly take root in the depths of the sand sea and implement the military system.
Chen Hai and Ge Xuanqiao spent nearly two months searching the sea of sand around Heishan Mountain, and finally confirmed that the three hundred miles around Heishan Mountain was actually a whole concave black sandstone layer with a depth of three to five meters. Between ten meters.
The Jingjue Protectorate still had to move back to Heishan, and the simple walled city built in Baishiyu was handed over to the Xiqiang royal army led by Ye Qinglin for garrison, so that more remnants of the Ye clan who had fled north could be gathered nearby.
The civilian society in Yanzhou is essentially a farming civilization, but deep in the Jinzhou desert, with the combination of animal husbandry and farming, the level of civilization of the civilian society is even lower than that in Yanzhou. Although the clans, weapon refining and countermeasures in Yanzhou and Jinzhou are The research on talisman formations is quite advanced, but this has nothing to do with civilian society.
In addition to fearing that Ge Xuanqiao would find out her identity, Ning Chan'er would rather stay away from Baishi Valley except for the necessary contact. During this period, she returned to Heishan alone. On the northern slope of Heishan, she borrowed several caves to dive deep in the desert. The cave he built. During this period, Chen Hai and Ge Xuanqiao traveled to the sand sea near Montenegro, while Ning Chan'er basically stayed there to cultivate and study elixirs.
He was already ruthless enough, and when he heard this scream, he hesitated and felt panicked in his heart.
"If you don't want to hear this cry, I'll teach you the meditation posture!" Chen Hai smiled, stretched out his finger and touched Zhao Ying's bright forehead, and directly condensed the secret form of the meditation posture into his consciousness, turning it into a picture. , penetrated from the center of her eyebrows into the depths of her mind.
Han Cainiang's daughter Zhao Ying stood guard in front of the cave with a pale face. She couldn't bear to see Zhou Datong and his captives let Ning Chan'er take it to test the medicine, but it was also torture to hear such a scream that was almost heartbreaking.
Ge Xuanqiao was sitting in Baishiyu at this time, and Ge Xuanqiao was also the only person who could make Ning Chan'er feel fearful.
Dong Ning has to take charge of many matters regarding the relocation of the Jingjue Protectorate and the Jingjue Army to Black Mountain City. At this time, Black Mountain City is too crude and will continue to be built later, but Chen Hai will not pay attention to these trivial matters. , return to Montenegro to find Ning Chaner in advance.
Chen Hai also smiled in his heart. Nowadays, people talk a lot. Some secrets and some things need to be discussed with Dong Ning alone.
Chen Hai still hopes to lure the rebels to attack across the vast sea of sand. Only by waiting for work can they have a greater chance of winning.
Logically speaking, she and her mother were both women in front of this person, not to mention her mother had an unclear relationship with this person, so she would not know how to behave in front of this person for a while.
"If you write to Zhou Jingyuan and Zhao Wuhui, they will definitely not reject you," Chen Hai said with a smile, "It is not the time to return to Juquan Ridge now, and there is no need to write a letter to avoid unnecessary interference to them. "
"With no one to help me, I can only grit my teeth and persevere alone." Dong Ning said with some resentment.
Zhao Ying had just begun to follow Ning Chan'er to build foundations and practice. Chen Hai penetrated the secret diagram of meditation into the depths of her mind. It could only be condensed for a very short period of time and then disappeared in a short time.
As a result, in addition to sufficient labor for farming, animal husbandry and water conservancy improvement, even if there is still a gap in the grain and grass consumed by the Jingjue Protectorate on weekdays, it is not as terrible as before.
"Whether it is the Ye family or the people of the Western Qiang Kingdom, they all need a Jingjue lady who can be loyal to this land. Only such a Jingjue lady will be worthy of their allegiance or fighting alongside them. What they are looking forward to is not a Jingjue lady. Mrs. Jingjue, who has become a vassal of the Dong family or others, is the key reason why, as the 'Envoy of the Great Yan State', I cannot serve in the Jingjue Protectorate," Chen Hai said with a smile, "Besides, even if there is no Me, you did a great job too.”
Chen Hai cleaned many thieves' villages and seized more than 5,000 kilograms of Xuantai refined iron. This was no accident. In fact, the black sandstone layers in Heishan and Moyue Lake were rich in black sand fine gold and Xuantian refined iron.
Jingjue Protectorate plans to set up fifty military mansions integrating soldiers and farmers, as well as soldiers and animal husbandry, based on many tribes.
There are still a few ore veins that can produce Xuantai refined iron in places such as Black Mountain and Moyue Lake. However, in the past, the craft of smelting Xuantai refined iron in the thieves' villages was too backward and the output was very limited. Dong Ning planned to smelt Xuantai refined iron from Juquan. Ling invited two craftsmen to come over.
After the implementation of the government military system, the Jingjue Protectorate's Mansion was able to recruit more than 23,000 guards, while the standing troops of the Jingjue Protectorate's Mansion were limited to less than 5,000.
After all, Zhao Ying is not a strong person in the Mingqiao Realm. She can lock this secret picture that contains the true meaning into the sea of consciousness forever. She cannot remember too much in such a short time, but she is still better than others. It’s much better to teach her, but more will depend on her own understanding.
The horse thieves robbed so many slaves. In addition to forcing them to build armor and cities, their other purpose was to mine and smelt black sand fine gold and mysterious iron from the veins.
The Jingjue Protectorate cannot rely unrestrictedly on Hexi's assistance, and the agricultural and animal husbandry output of Moyue Lake and Heishan is too limited, so it can only find ways to make up for the gap from minerals and manufacturing.
…
Chen Hai and Ge Xuanqiao returned to Baishiyu with this conclusion. In addition to Dong Ning and Ran Hu, Han Qingyuan, Han Jian, Guo Hongpan and others who wanted to lead their people to take root here were even more excited. They all understood this at this moment. Once I verified the significance of this, I was still confused: "It's not that difficult to do this. Why has no one except the ambassador thought of doing this before?"
It is this huge gap that limits the thinking of many people.
If Heishan could produce five or six thousand kilograms of Xuantai refined iron every year, it would be able to make up for a big shortfall.
Chen Hai didn't expect this to happen. In just two or three months, Zhao Ying had already opened up a mysterious vein, which could be regarded as laying a strong foundation for future cultivation. On the one hand, she has good qualifications. Ning Chan'er is also likely to get it. She tried medicine.
"What kind of person are you? Why aren't you willing to stay and help me?" Dong Ning looked at Chen Hai's face intently and resisted the urge to reach out and touch the scars on his face.
After all, only ferocious spiritual birds like the black-feathered giant eagle can quickly move goods weighing two to three thousand kilograms within a range of more than a thousand miles, and can also monitor the enemy's situation deep in the desert; this will help strengthen the Jingjue Protectorate's control over the enemy. The subordinates are under the control of Zhe Chong Mansion.
The Jingjue Army plus the royal army directly led by Ye Qinglin seem to have 30,000 soldiers and horses, but they are all pieced together. It is easy to carry out a surprise attack, but in front of veteran generals like Zhang Xiong, Zhang Jun and Kong Peng, it is really difficult. It's hard to get any bargains.
This is done, on the one hand, to strengthen the connection between Zhuzhe Chong Mansion and Jing Jue Protector Mansion.
Chen Hai does not hold any position in the newly established Jingjue Protectorate, and he also wants to get out and verify his speculation as soon as possible.
At the same time, the cost of raising each black-feathered giant vulture is allocated to the military government below, so that the black-feathered giant vulture can hunt its prey on its own in the depths of the desert on a larger scale.
"I also want you to write a letter and send it to Juquan Ridge to mention this..."
"Thank you, envoy..." Zhao Ying murmured, not even daring to look Chen Hai in the eyes.
At present, they can only take advantage of the fact that the rebels are unable to fully control the Pinglu Oasis, and that the Pinglu Oasis is two thousand miles away from Montenegro and blocked by the vast sea of sand. The Jingjue Protectorate and the Ye family's royal army also seize the time to rest and restore their strength. .
Except for a small number of the more than a thousand craftsmen recruited from various villages who were assigned to various military offices to ensure that the military offices had certain capabilities in building farm tools, armor, and sentry construction and water conservancy construction, most of them were concentrated in Heishan City. , compiled into the Shaojiang Mansion under the direct leadership of the Jingjue Protectorate.
After two months of discussion and research, the Jingjue Protectorate also came up with a plan for implementing the military system that everyone recognized.
In the next step, in addition to diverting the broken streams and large and small lakes formed by the springs in the outer oasis to the inside of the Black Mountain step by step, we also need to find water veins near the Black Mountain and dig through the rock formations to dig out more Spring wells speed up the process of water storage in shallow groove rock formations so that larger-scale vegetation can be grown as quickly as possible.
Once it is verified that the bottom of the sand sea near Heishan is a large rock formation that can prevent the penetration of streams and rivers, they can start the work of diversion of streams and rivers this year, and gradually expand the area of the oasis near Heishan in the next year.
In the past, Chen Hai wanted to send out several survey teams to survey all the underground rock formations near Black Mountain to verify his speculation. This originally took two or three years to do, but now he has the cultivation level to step into Dao Dan. When Ge Xuanqiao, who is in the late stage, comes over, many things will become easier.
After verifying that the underground of Black Mountain is indeed a trough-shaped rock formation, what to do next is a matter of course.
After Guo Hongpan and others discussed the matter and left, Dong Ning spoke to Chen Hai.
Otherwise, even if the situation here settles down first, we still need to cultivate and support the forces to resist Zhang's traitors within the Pinglu Oasis. After having a certain degree of confidence, we can lead 30,000 to 40,000 elites to directly insert into the Pinglu Oasis. , is the chance to show off with Zhang Xiong, Kong Peng and other traitors.
As soon as Chen Hai stepped into the barren back mountain of Black Mountain, he faintly heard the miserable wailing coming from the mountain. He flew to Ning Chan'er's cave, and the wailing coming from the mountain became clearer. He knew that Ning Chan'er was trying to use Zhou Datong's captives to test medicine.
Otherwise, a hundred black-feathered giant eagles could eat up the Jingjue Protectorate.
In addition to twelve military mansions in Moyue Lake and twenty-four military mansions in Heishan, the Jingjue Protectorate also has three to five military mansions in green states such as Jinxiang Ridge, Black Falcon Cliff, and Guhuo Mountain. The military government of the Han Dynasty tried to organize the brave warriors of many tribes, freed slaves and horse thieves into prisoners as quickly as possible, and put them under the management of fifty military government offices.
