Chapter 274 The arrival of the professional fortification team
While Qu Mao was still aggrieved that he was used as a bait by Su Buqing, and was saddened by the more than 4,000 soldiers who were killed and wounded in the battle to resist the Mughal invasion force's attack on the Maocheng construction site, Su Qiaoer had already led more than 2,000 soldiers.
Professional city builders came to the Maocheng construction site.
On the morning of April 29, the fifth year of Tianxuan, under the protection of a large number of troops led by Yan Liang and Wen Qiu, Su Qiaoer, Surama and others led more than 2,000 craftsmen to the Maocheng construction site.
Su Yan had been away from Liusu Principality for a long time. When she suddenly saw Su Qiaoer, she immediately excitedly went up to her and took Su Qiaoer's hand and started talking quietly.
After Su Yan and Su Qiaoer finished communicating, Qu Mao asked: "Su Qiaoer, how are the construction of the 12 towns here considered and arranged?"
Su Qiaoer immediately reported to Qu Mao and said: "Sir, at present, the construction personnel of the new town clusters in the Kingdom of Jili, the Kingdom of Gilead and the Kingdom of Napoleon have been arranged, and the first batch of immigrants have also arrived at the construction site.
We do not plan to start construction of all the 12 towns on the border between the Moner Kingdom and the Mughal Empire at once. After all, starting construction at the same time will put a lot of pressure on craftsmen and troop protection.
So our plan is to build the two towns here first, and then select two towns to start construction."
Qu Mao nodded and said: "We have already started working on Maocheng, and we started construction yesterday afternoon.
Now the northern city wall, material warehouse, granary, city main palace, and city hall have been built. Yesterday afternoon, the Mughal Empire's invading troops attacked and injured some soldiers, so five new medical rooms were built here.
Level 0 residential buildings are used as temporary residences for newly recruited soldiers, and 200 units have been built so far.
Su Qiaoer, please quickly arrange for someone to take over, use on-duty construction and actual construction in parallel, and strive to complete it as soon as possible.
On the Yancheng side, the Mughal Empire's invading troops attacked yesterday, and Su Buqing led his troops to rush to the rescue. After the battle, I briefly told Su Buqing about the construction of Yancheng. I guess he should have followed the Yancheng construction planning drawings.
Construction of functional buildings such as the city wall in the north of Yancheng and material warehouses and granaries has begun."
Su Qiaoer said: "Yes, sir, I understand.
Sir, please rest assured that my subordinates will make arrangements for the construction of Maocheng and Yancheng.
The more than 2,000 professional city builders brought by my subordinates this time will be divided into two parts to carry out the construction of Maocheng and Yancheng simultaneously. Please rest assured.
The subordinates first arranged for a thousand people to stay at the Maocheng construction site, and then took another thousand people to the Yancheng construction site.
After the subordinates have arranged these city builders, the construction tasks of the 12 town clusters on the border of the Monell Kingdom will be handed over to the garrison hero of the Monell Kingdom, Mr. Surama. This time, Mr. Suramar also came with his subordinates.
.
Then the subordinates will return to the Holy Land, personally recruit and arrange for the people to move from the Holy Land to the new town clusters in the Kingdom of Gili, the Kingdom of Gilead, the Kingdom of Napoleon and the Kingdom of Moner."
Surama quickly bowed his hand to Qu Mao and said, "Sir, don't worry, my subordinates will take over the construction of all the town clusters on the border of the Monair Kingdom, and will not delay the confrontation between the army and the Mughal Empire's invading troops."
Su Yan said: "Well, Qiaoer's arrangement is good. As a garrison hero of the Monell Kingdom, Suramar is within the scope of his duties to build a new town cluster on the border of the Monell Kingdom."

Suramar said: "Sir Su Yan, the 2,000 professional city-building craftsmen this time are mainly mobilized by the Monell Kingdom and the Lianhe Kingdom. Later, craftsmen from the Liusu Principality and the Abyss Kingdom will be mobilized.
After my subordinates have arranged the construction tasks of Maocheng and Yancheng together with Lord Su Qiaoer, they will return to the King's City of Monelhou and wait until the craftsmen from Liusu Principality and Abyss Dukedom arrive before heading to the border.
In the future, the construction tasks of a total of 12 towns will be gradually completed at the pace of the two towns."
Qu Mao nodded and said: "I have revised the Yancheng construction planning drawings several times before handing them over to Su Buqing. For other towns, I will also make subtle adjustments to the construction planning drawings based on the actual terrain.
When you build any town, you need to use the latest construction planning drawings.
The environment where Maocheng is located is endless grassland, so water wells and reservoirs need to be planned in Maocheng, and attention must be paid to these."
Su Qiaoer and Surama saluted together and said, "Yes, sir."
Watching Su Qiaoer and Surama walk out of the zero-level residential house and go to the Maocheng construction site to arrange tasks. When the two walked to the door of the zero-level residential house, Qu Mao shouted again: "Su Qiaoer, you are at the Maocheng construction site today.
Arrange tasks.
Tomorrow morning, we will take more than 1,000 craftsmen to the Yancheng construction site. After viewing the Yancheng construction site, Su Yan and I will consider the next plan."
Su Qiaoer turned around and said, "Yes, sir.
My subordinates will not divide the craftsmen into teams today. I will just report to the lady on internal affairs in the evening.
Tomorrow morning, my subordinates will gather the craftsmen assigned to the construction site in Yancheng, and this afternoon they can be used to assist in the actual construction tasks of Maocheng facilities."
Su Yan also said to Qu Mao: "Sir, please take a rest in the zero-level residence for a while, and your subordinates will go with Qiaoer to arrange the task of building the city."
Qu Mao nodded and waved his hand for Su Yan and others to go out.
Now that the professional fortification team arrived at the Maocheng construction site, Qu Mao couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
At least the northern city wall can be constructed with the help of a professional city construction team through a combination of actual construction and on-duty construction. In addition, on-duty construction can be carried out in shifts 24 hours a day. The construction speed can be increased by at least 30.
Relatively simple functional buildings such as material warehouses and granaries can increase at a higher speed by using on-duty construction and actual construction together, and may be completed in a few days.
Taking into account that harassment operations would cause injuries to soldiers, Qu Mao also added five medical rooms to the construction site in Maocheng. This problem exists in Maocheng, and other newly built towns will definitely have the same problem, which means they all need to increase the number of medical rooms.
Build a medical room.
Only a new medical room was built, but medical personnel were not obtained so quickly. This was another headache for Qu Mao.
The 12 newly built town clusters in the Monair Kingdom are all located on the border, and they will have to face the Mughal Empire's invading forces for a long time. Obviously, the greatest value after the construction is the military defense value, and production must rely on the Mughal Empire.
Other cities or holy places in Nairhou Kingdom are added.
However, as long as it can meet military needs and divert the residents of the Holy Land, Qu Mao feels that he has achieved his goal.
While Su Yan, Su Qiaoer and others went out to arrange the city construction work, Qu Mao took out the town construction planning drawings again and continued to modify the details.
Chapter completed!
