Chapter 490 Prepare for a Rainy Day
Wei Boyang followed Wei Yuan around Qingming. Except for the medicine garden, the weapon forging workshop and the good luck pill workshop, he looked at other places, and then focused on the defense system of Ding'an City.
Wei Boyang originally wanted to give Wei Yuan some guidance and help him improve Qingming's city defense system. But after looking around, he couldn't start. Not only could he not make any suggestions, he also couldn't understand the layout of many places.
Even if he couldn't understand it, his basic vision was still there. Wei Boyang knew that these defense systems were particularly strict and had other mysteries.
But given his status, he was embarrassed to ask at this moment.
That's it for others. There is an old thief from the Spring and Autumn Period watching in the sky, asking his disciple's apprentice for advice. Wei Boyang feels that he can't get rid of this face no matter what.
Since there was nothing to see, Wei Boyang simply returned to the flying boat. Although he came with the order and was blessed with imperial luck, he could block the sight of the monsters outside the sky, but the imperial luck would also be slowly consumed, so Wei Boyang was still unwilling to leave after being shattered.
Stay in the area for a long time.
This flying boat comes with multiple formations, which can block the sight of monsters outside the sky. It is very easy for Yu Jing to stay inside. Wei Boyang parked the flying boat in the mountains on the east side of Qingming, which is difficult for mortals to reach and is relatively quiet.
To Wei Yuan's surprise, True Lord Xuanyue came over to explain a few words, and then also went to Wei Boyang's flying boat. According to his ancestor, he had already arranged ten chess matches with Wei Boyang, and this time there must be a winner.
.As the Patriarch of Wei Yuan, Xuan Yue really couldn’t think of anything Wei Boyang could do to defeat her in chess.
Wei Yuan really couldn't separate himself at this time, otherwise he would have watched several games and secretly helped his ancestor win the chess game.
As for the past grievances between True Lord Xuanyue and Wei Boyang, involving elders, Wei Yuan couldn't ask more questions.
True Monarch Xuan Yue was able to come this time because Qing Ming was Tian Qing Hall's own business. As the Patriarch, he had to be there no matter what, so he could only put the Northern Mountain Gate aside.
But when he saw Wei Boyang coming, Patriarch Xuan Yue was obviously relieved. He secretly told Wei Yuan that although General Anyuan was not as good as him in all aspects, he was lustful, vulgar, vulgar, and had fine skin and tender flesh.
He can't resist beatings and doesn't have much money, but it's no problem to contain two ordinary ghost wizards.
With Xuan Yue and Wei Boyang sitting in charge, plus Li Zhi's upcoming elders and Zhu Yuanjin, Wei Yuan feels that he has almost enough power at the Yujing level. After all, the battle at the Yujing level in the Broken Realm cannot be fought, and the two sides can only fight each other.
Contain and prevent the other party from taking action in the form of method or Daoji.
Wei Yuan originally planned to use the three thousand forbidden troops brought by Wei Boyang to some extent, but then he discovered that there were only 500 Daojis inside, and the rest were casts. It turned out that when they met that day, Wei Boyang pulled all the Daojis onto the deck.
Just keep up the facade.
Wei Yuan also planned to have 2,500 Forbidden Army troops stationed at Xuanwei Qi where women and children were housed. However, as soon as he thought about it, he did not dare to have any hope in the military discipline of the Forbidden Army. These women and children were the hope and fetters of mortals.
, if something happens to them, the morale of the people and the military will be in chaos.
After thinking about it, Wei Yuan decided to let these forbidden troops stay on the ship and not cause any trouble. Wei Yuan only wanted the 500 Taoist foundations and set up a large formation specifically for them. Their usual task was to meditate and practice in the large formation, driving the great power.
The formation provides spiritual power to other areas of Qingming.
Wei Yuan then summoned the main generals and city lords of each city, and asked them to immediately count the civilians in the area under their jurisdiction, and to count and register them one by one, and to do so quickly. This was a very trivial task, and the time Wei Yuan gave was extremely short.
Therefore, as soon as everyone left the meeting hall, they flew in all directions to go to work.
Fortunately, Qing Ming had already registered most of the population in the register before, but the subsequent refugees who arrived have not yet had time to register. This group is estimated to be about three hundred thousand. Wei Yuan made it very clear that the focus of the registration this time is on these people.
, not one of them can be missed.
After arranging this important event, Wei Yuan flew directly to the forging workshop without stopping and found Yu Zhizhuo who was busy.
At this time, Yu Zhizhuo was directing dozens of Daoji monks to put four red-hot steel billets together as the top cover of the new fortification.
As soon as Wei Yuan arrived, he asked directly: "What is the current production volume of breastplates?"
"Five hundred pairs per day. Mainly the production of arm armor and leg armor requires a lot of manpower. There are only so many Daoji and late-stage cast monks, so I can't even raise them if I want to."
Wei Yuan handed him a new design drawing and said, "What if we produce it according to this?"
This is the design of the arm armor and leg armor. When Yu Zhizhuo saw it, he took a breath and said, "Isn't this... a bit rough?"
"I need production."
Yu Zhizhuo thought for a moment and said: "If we produce arm armor and leg armor according to this method, we can produce 1,500 sets of armor every day."
Wei Yuan nodded and said, "That's almost enough."
"You want to create a new army?"
Wei Yuan nodded.
"If it is a new unit, the output is still not enough."
"The armors of those killed in battle can be used, and some parts from the Witch Clan can also be used first."
Yu Zhizhuo didn't say anything, just sighed at Wei Yuan's back, then picked up the design drawing and made modifications.
The so-called arm armor and leg armor on the design drawing are actually four curved steel plates, which are tied to the body with belts. The defense is definitely much worse than the regular arm armor and leg armor, and only protects the outward side, but in terms of production
It's so simple. After making the mold and adjusting the forging machine, you can produce thousands or tens of thousands of pieces in a day.
A few days later.
When Cui Yu was taking inventory of the left army's supplies and military equipment, a monk suddenly came to him and said that Zhang Sheng invited him to discuss matters. Cui Yu immediately set off and arrived in front of Zhang Sheng a moment later.
Zhang Sheng sat in front of the writing desk, put down the jade paper in his hand, and asked: "I heard that Wei Yuan asked you to count the new mortals and make a register?"
Cui Yu said: "This is indeed the case, and we are already halfway through the process."
Although Cui Yu was already the Dharma Prime Minister at this time, and Zhang Sheng had not yet cast the Taoist foundation, Cui Yu's awe in his heart was not less. When Zhang Sheng asked, he stood up straight, still in the posture of a student back then.
Zhang Sheng said: "First of all, please give me the lists of civilians in Yong'an City and the three cities to the east. Besides, I am inconvenient to move, so I will call Li Zhi by the way."
Cui Yu agreed and left in a hurry.
After a while, he returned with Li Zhi, handed a roster to Zhang Sheng, and then left Li Zhi behind and left on his own.
Li Zhi sat down calmly, but his heartbeat began to speed up uncontrollably.
Zhang Sheng put the list aside and said, "I heard that General Li is not on good terms with the State of Zhao. I wonder if this is the case?"
Li Zhi was startled, then smiled bitterly and said: "It's true, Master Zhang's eyes are as bright as fire. But I heard some rumors, and it stands to reason that King Zhao should vigorously assist Qing Ming, but for some reason he did not do anything, and I don't know why Brother Wei Xian did this."
To provoke King Zhao."
There is much more content in Li Zhi's words.
Zhang Sheng looked unmoved and said calmly: "It is human nature to sit on a mountain and watch tigers fight. King Zhao seems to be generous, but in fact he has no tolerance for others. General Li should know this best."
Li Zhi sighed and said: "My Nan Qi Li family and Zhao Li are not from the same ancestry, but they both happen to be named Li. It is an honor for Li to be able to make King Zhao refuse to tolerate him."
This is an old story. On that day, Li Xuanheng first established the Southern Qi Dynasty. In order to seek support from various countries, he searched for the genealogy of his ancestors. Finally, he found a trace of blood connection with Zhao and Li, and claimed that the two Lis were from the same source. Since then, the Southern Qi Dynasty gradually became stronger and stronger.
, this past incident was regarded as a shame.
"General Li is not someone who just sits there and waits for death. Your Majesty is very good at making peace with others, and is very good at maneuvering and planning. I must have a countermeasure in advance."
Li Zhi's expression immediately changed, and he forced out a smile and said, "Master Zhang is joking. My father indulges in sexual activities and accomplishes nothing. Where does the power and military strategy come from?"
But looking at Zhang Sheng's indifferent expression, Li Zhi finally sighed and said helplessly: "The King of Qi is very jealous. My father has been cautious all his life, and finally paved a way out for the younger generation. If your words reach the ears of the King of Qi,
Here, my father is really in danger. Brother Wei Yuan and I have a life-long friendship, can you take this into account and let me go?"
Zhang Sheng did not comment, but asked: "How many civilians are there in your Zhenshan realm now?"
"Just three hundred thousand."
Zhang Sheng asked again: "Do you have backup forces in several counties on the border of Zhao State, including Yuyang Mansion? How many people can be relocated if necessary?"
Li Zhi's expression changed again, and then he sighed: "Two hundred thousand."
Zhang Sheng said: "Then activate your back-up plan and add the people from Zhenshan Realm. I want 300,000 civilians to be sent within half a month."
Li Zhi calculated silently, with sweat on his forehead. After calculation, he found that it would indeed take fifteen days to relocate 300,000 civilians. In other words, Zhang Sheng had clearly seen his trump card, but this was
How?
Zhang Sheng picked up the teacup, took a sip, and said, "I won't let you suffer if I send it here. What do you want?"
"This..." Li Zhi's mind suddenly became active.
He has seen Qing Ming's development all the time, and if he really wants to have something, there are too many.
Li Zhi smiled bitterly and said: "...The one I really want most is of course Brother Wei Xian."
Zhang Sheng was startled, the corner of his mouth turned up slightly, and said: "That is impossible. Let me choose for you. After this battle is over, you send 20,000 people over, and I will train you into hundreds of elite warriors, with the same fighting power as the big army."
Tang Jiu's army is equal. I am responsible for all weapons and equipment, how about this?"
"It's the best."
After the matter was agreed upon, Li Zhi bid farewell to Zhang Sheng and returned to Zhenshan. The relocation of 300,000 mortals was a huge project. Li Zhi planned to move 200,000 from Zhenshan, leaving only 100,000.
The county transported another 100,000 to Qingming, so that it could be completed within half a month. Then he moved refugees from Zhao to his Zhenshan area to slowly replenish the population.
After Li Zhi left, Zhang Sheng returned to the inner room and lay down on the bed.
When she opened her eyes again, she appeared on the top floor of the Tiandi Chukai Research Institute. Her old position was still there and no one was taking it.
Zhang Sheng went over to sit down, pulled the ball of light, and first entered the list of civilians given by Cui Yu, and then created his own task: to form an all-civilian army, with one Daoji officer for every thousand people, and only experienced officers for every one hundred people.
of cast officers. The strength of the army is 30,000.
After the task was created, Zhang Sheng directly split it into one hundred and twenty-eight subtasks and started processing them at the same time. After a while, she split sixty-four more subtasks from the existing subtasks and assigned them to idle people in the system.
