Chapter 269 King of the Desert

After many conditions were agreed, Dong Pu returned to Tielu Ridge first. As the head coach of Tielu Camp, he could not stay outside for a long time. As a guest official, Ge Xuanqiao stayed in Heishan for the time being and stayed by Dong Ning's side to guard against Kong Peng, Zhang Xiong and other thieves who suddenly entered Heishan to assassinate the core figures on their side with their extremely high cultivation.

Nearly a hundred black-feathered giant eagles and the fiercely violin soldiers stayed, which was the largest direct support that Hexi could give to Dong Ning. It was to be incorporated into the Jingjue Protectorate's Mansion as Dong Ning's dowry. They would join the remnants led by Ran Hu before, and then select the soldiers of the nearby tribes and the Han family to form a guard camp with a scale of 1,000 people in the Jingjue Protectorate's Mansion, and use Ran Hu as a general.

This can be said to be the most elite combat power in the hands of the Jingjue Protectorate, which is much stronger than the Daoya soldiers of the same size.

Hundreds of black-feathered giant eagles can be said to be the overlord in the air.

Hexi and Taiwei Sect have a fine tradition of incubating and raising spiritual birds, but the total number of black-feathered giant vultures formed in the Hexi camp army was less than 1,000. This time, Dong Pu can be said to have drawn out all the black-feathered giant vultures and imperial vulture soldiers in the Tieliu Camp and handed them over to Dong Ning.

Such support is not small, but it also shows how important the next layout of the Anding West is to Dong's family.

This also means that even if they lose to Zhang Xiong, Zhang Jun, Kong Peng and others in the future, they will not have any problem in breaking through the siege.

On the one hand, these hundred black-feathered giant eagles could prevent the bandits from striking the Black Mountain and the Moyue Lake to ensure that the farming and herd production here was not interrupted. At the same time, they mastered an air transport team that could travel two or three thousand miles a day.

This can solve many headaches and ensure that you can obtain a certain amount of supplies from Hexi every month.

And with many city lords who are still inclined to the Ye family in Pinglu Oasis, the material transactions will become faster and more hidden.

This shows how powerful the Dong family is.

There may not be three or four hundred such ferocious spirit birds in the entire Pinglu Oasis, but most of them are still scattered in the hands of the city lord of Zhucheng. Even if the Zhang family controls the northern and southern armies of the Western Qiang Kingdom, they only have sixty or seventy ferocious spirit birds in their hands.

However, if you want to raise nearly a hundred black-feathered giant eagles, not to mention the medium and low-level spiritual medicines that strengthen muscles and bones, you only need tens of thousands of sand sheep to consume meat every year. This is an extremely terrifying number.

In Heishan, Moyue Lake and other places, including war horses, they can raise more than 100,000 sand sheep and more than 20,000 to 30,000 larger sand camels, cattle, horses and other animals.

However, these animals should serve as animal power and war horses on the one hand, and at the same time they are mainly the source of milk for the herdsmen of the tribes to make their own livelihoods. In fact, the Jingjue Protectorate can only requisition at most 10,000 sand sheep as a source of meat every year, but they will all be consumed by these hundred ferocious spirit birds.

In addition to the Huwei camp of Dong Ning's direct line, the Jingjue Army and the Royal Army also planned to organize 30,000 soldiers and horses in the early stage, and 30,000 soldiers and horses were required to be trained into elite troops. Sufficient meat was indispensable, but there was no extra meat nearby to requisition.

Even if the supply of meat is not considered, it can be replaced by a lower-level spiritual medicine with higher cost in a short period of time, but the food and grass required by the 30,000 regular soldiers and nearly 20,000 war horses is also astronomical, and it is not available in small places such as Black Mountain and Moyue Lake.

The tens of millions of kilograms of grain that Chen Hai collected from the villages before looked extremely terrifying, but in fact it could only last for five or six months.

Even if the farming production in Heishan, Moyue Lake and other places is not interrupted, and taxed at a high proportion of 10 or 20 or 30, the annual harvest season can only increase by 50 million kilograms of grain storage. Compared with the demand for 20 million kilograms of grain and grass, the gap is too big.

The resources required for the construction of the city are astronomical; at this time, 20,000 to 30,000 troops can only be stationed in simple camps, and there is no defense at all.

After the generals decided to stay, they suddenly realized that all the problems were piled up in front of them, like huge mountains crushing them.

"Although I am taking over the name of the Protector at this time, I really have no political and military experience. You should be the one who presides over many affairs. Now you are not willing to take on the position of Zuo Sicheng..."

Deep in Baishiyu, Chen Hai stood in front of a black sandstone cliff and looked at the terrain on Baishiyu. Dong Ning tried his best to persuade Chen Hai to accept the position of Zuo Sicheng, hoping that he would actually take charge of the military and political power of the Jingjue Protectorate's Office in the future.

Chen Hai smiled slightly, looked at Dong Ning's cheeks that had obviously become thinner during this period, and was afraid that he would let down, so he agreed. He resisted the urge to touch her cheek and said, "This world is so big, I'll go and go for a walk. What I said to travel around the world is not a false remark to Dong. If you can't do this, I can't stay here for a long time. You have to take responsibility for the responsibility you should take."

"There are so many problems now, you have to give an idea, otherwise Dong Ning will really not be able to bear it." Ge Xuanqiao walked over and said.

Ge Xuanqiao was determined to practice. He was not good at worldly affairs in Taiwei Sect, nor was he good at managing military and political affairs. Seeing these many headaches, he was not able to make any decisions for Dong Ning. He just couldn't figure out why Chen Hai wanted to keep people thousands of miles away. Fan Dachun, Deng Tonger and others were actually loyal to Chen Hai.

"Ran Hu, Fan Dachun, Han Jian, Han Wendang and others can manage the army, Han Qingyuan, Deng Tonger, Guo Hongzong and others can manage political affairs, use them well, and after the early chaos, they will gradually stabilize," Chen Hai said, "and I am now pulling Ge Laozu to explore the terrain, and I am not really idle. If I expected it, the underground of Heishan is really a shallow-bottom rock layer. In the future, the stream formed by the feng sequels in various places can be guided to the inside, and then the oasis can be nurtured three or four times the size. In two or three years, many problems will gradually improve."

"Even if the oasis is expanded three or four times, it is unlikely that it will be self-sufficient if it wants to raise 30,000 to 40,000 elite troops." Dong Ning said. Even if she is a child of the Dong family, she does not want to rely entirely on the Dong family.

"The Jingjue Protectorate is enough to regularly organize three or five thousand elite troops. Other soldiers do not need to be regularly organized. The generals and soldiers give cattle, sheep, war horses, and give them pasture and cultivate land in Heishan or Moyue Lake to help them get married and establish a family and career. Every 200 to 500 soldiers, or on the basis of tribes, the Zhechong Prefecture is established and the Zhechong Prefecture is appointed to be in charge. They usually pasture and farming are still the same. They teach martial arts skills in their spare time, practice swords, weapons, cavalry, and gather in wartime. This is the system of the palace soldiers..." Chen Hai also thought for a long time. Considering the current dilemma faced by the Jingjue Protectorate, only the government soldiers can be better combined with the current reality of many tribes supporting the Jingjue Protectorate.

In order to implement the system of unity of military and agricultural soldiers, in addition to being able to greatly save the military resources of the Jingjue Protectorate, a large number of slaves, horse thieves surrendered and captured into the tribes, in order to truly stabilize and become an effective source of troops loyal to the Jingjue Protectorate.

"The system of military forces?" Dong Ning asked in confusion. She did not expect that the strategy given by Chen Hai was not to concentrate troops, but to disperse the few troops in her hands.

"In the second volume of the military training record, I have a detailed description of the military system in the mansion. You can implement it based on the actual situation at this time..." Chen Hai took out a copy from his arms and handed it to Dong Ning.

Ning Chan'er was not very interested in Jingjue Protectorate and Jingjue Army. After all, she couldn't raise many soldiers in a small area. If she really wanted to regain the Oasis of Pinglu, she would only help the Ye family restore the country. But now she saw Chen Hai decisively take the time to write the second volume of the actual training record, and her eyes shone.

"I'm just giving you the second volume of the training record," Chen Hai continued, "If Hexi wants to get the second volume of the recording, he needs to exchange the taming method of the Black Feathered Spirit Vulture with the Jingjue Protectorate's Mansion..."

In the second volume of the so-called military training record, Chen Hai only copied the key points of the spear phalanx, counterweight stone-cat crossbows, primary machine combat chariots, primary machine crossbows, and the method of implementing the military system.

No matter what Dong Ning thinks, Chen Hai did not want Jingjue Protectorate to become a vassal of the Dong family. I believe Ye Qinglin and others would not want to see this. What I talked to Dong before was that it was just a way to borrow money and get assistance from Hexi.

Of course, these debts are only nearly a hundred black-feathered spirit vultures, not to mention the magic medicines that cost thousands of pounds a month.

Once the war with Zhang Xiong, Zhang Jun, Kong Peng and other thieves continues, the Black Feathered Spirit Vulture will inevitably suffer losses. Chen Hai thought that it would be best to master the method of incubation and taming of the Black Feathered Spirit Vulture.

Chen Hai was afraid that Dong Ning would be embarrassed to speak to Dong, so he restricted the conditions in front of Ge Xuanqiao.

In fact, Black Mountain and Moyue Lake are surrounded by vast deserts, with extremely vast space, which is very suitable for taming ferocious spirit birds. At the same time, taming ferocious spirit birds can greatly reduce the harm of monsters to herd farming.

Chen Hai did not take any position in the Jingjue Protectorate. Fan Dachun, Han Qingyuan, Deng Tonger, Han Wendang, Han Jian, Guo Hongzong and others, and nearly 20,000 Jingjue troops, were all handed over to Commander Dong Ning, and the burden on Dong Ning's shoulders suddenly became heavier.

Dong Ning looked through the second volume of the military training record. The content was so dazzling that it could not be completely digested for a while. In addition, there were still a lot of things that she needed to deal with, so she went back to the camp first, and did not look at Ning Chan'er, who never showed her true face.

***************************

"You really just keep your hands aside?" Ge Xuanqiao saw Dong Ning leaving, and he couldn't help asking Chen Hai, "Is it not your choice to traverse the desert in Jinzhou?"

Dong Ning was nominally the young concubine of the Western Qiang Kingdom and was named Mrs. Jingjue, but there were no actual obstacles between her and Chen Hai except for not having a formal title in a short period of time.

If Chen Hai transfers his direct descendants in Juquanling, and with Fan Dachun and other horse thieves who surrender to him, there should be no problem to become a overlord in the depths of the vast desert - and Chen Hai can help Hexi block the threat from the west, and the prince Dong Chou will no longer forcibly block his relationship with Dong Ning.

However, Chen Hai had already expressed his willingness to fly away one day at this time. Ge Xuanqiao was not sure what Chen Hai was looking for now.

"Are you a desert king in Jinzhou? No." Chen Hai shook his head and said. Of course his ambition is not here. Even if Jinzhou wants to have a desert king in the future, why can't it be Dong Ning?

Dong Ning himself did not have this awareness yet, so Chen Hai could only force Dong Ning to this path step by step, so he resolutely did not take any position in the Jingjue Protectorate's Office, reducing Dong Ning's psychological dependence on him.
