Regarding the terrain around Wucheng, Qu Mao was very excited after hearing the three troop dispatch points described by Kong Ming and the future resettlement plan for the families of military officers around Wucheng.

When originally planning the construction of Wucheng, Qu Mao had already arranged for soldiers and himself to survey the terrain. However, at that time Qu Mao was mainly surveying the terrain of the area where Wucheng was to be built and had not gone far. The information provided by Kong Ming now shows that at least after surveying Wucheng,

This conclusion was drawn based on the terrain within fifty kilometers around the city.

Wucheng is located in a valley. After climbing over the surrounding mountain ridges and extending 50 kilometers to 100 kilometers outward, you can find the three troop exits described by Kong Ming.

The presence of these three troop exits means that the security of troops stationed in Wucheng will be higher. There is a place to accommodate the families of officers, which also means that the probability of mutiny in the troops stationed in Wucheng is lower.

On May 22, the fourth year of Tianxuan, Qu Mao slept all afternoon in a three-level courtyard that had been built in Wucheng. He rode a war horse for several days in a row. To say it was not hard would be a lie.

During dinner, Kong Ming came to Qu Mao again while shaking his goose feather fan. Different from the brief report at lunch, Kong Ming took advantage of Qu Mao's dinner to find a simple map and hang it on the wall.

With a simple map hanging on the wall, Kong Ming's general introduction to the surrounding environment of Wucheng was much more vivid than at noon, and Qu Mao also sounded more intuitive.

After dinner, Qu Mao said: "Kong Ming, your work results in Wucheng this week are still good, and you actually ran out of the 50 kilometers outside the planned city wall of Wucheng. No, look at the troop exit in the northwest, which is 50 kilometers away from the planned city wall of Wucheng.

The city wall is almost 100 kilometers long.

According to this scale, let alone 200,000 military family members, even a population of more than one million can probably be accommodated."

Kong Ming smiled bitterly and said: "Sir, there are still many mountains outside Wucheng, and not all areas are suitable for residents to live.

The 200,000 to 500,000 officers' families calculated by my subordinates have already excluded some hillside areas that are indeed unsuitable for residents to live, and are very difficult to transform."

Naturally, Qu Mao would not care about these details. With Kong Ming's simple map, Qu Mao was already planning the construction plan for the troop exit.

The Struggle for Hegemony is still in the era of cold weapons. Since it was chosen by Kong Ming as the outlet for dispatching troops, it is natural that the surrounding terrain is blocked by either water or mountains.

The valley where Wucheng is located has the sea on one side and mountains on three sides. Although there are rivers flowing into the sea, they are generally not wide. Therefore, the exits chosen by Kongming are surrounded by mountains that are difficult to climb. The three exits are nearly five kilometers wide.

Canyon, and the narrow canyon may not even be one kilometer.

The three troop exits that Kong Ming surveyed were located due west, northeast and northwest of Wucheng. They were all in good geographical locations. They were all difficult-to-climb high mountains. If passes were built, it would be possible for one man to do so.

The effect of shutting down everything.

The widest troop exit is about five kilometers wide and is located due west of Wucheng, about 55 kilometers away from the planned western city wall of Wucheng.

If a pass were to be built at this place, it would probably require the largest amount of work, and the amount of work would probably be no less than that of Aikou Pass.

However, the construction difficulty is not very difficult. It can be directly applied by slightly modifying the natural canyon. Even if it is not modified, the entire troop exit can be blocked by directly sending troops to station in the middle of the valley.

The farthest troop exit from Wucheng is the troop exit in the northwest direction. It is about 95 kilometers away from the planned city wall of Wucheng. The width of the canyon is only 900 meters, and the cliffs on both sides are vertical downwards and are at least 300 meters high.

Even if only one large group of Tier 3 Princess Guards is dispatched, this troop exit can be completely blocked.

In fact, Qu Mao had already passed by the troop exit in the northeast corner when he led 100 fifth-level palace guards. The width of the canyon is about three kilometers, with mountains on both sides, and a small river about 5 meters wide flowing slowly through it.

, meandering into the sea.

The geographical conditions of this troop exit are the worst. It is about 65 kilometers away from the planned city wall of Wucheng. It is also very difficult to build.

However, this place is located in the northeast corner, facing the Luanshan Kingdom and the Bai Tier Kingdom. Both are territories that Yicheng Territory has completely captured on the main continent. The possibility of sending troops is not high, and its defensive nature is more

powerful.

Pointing to the simple map Kong Ming hung on the wall, he said: "Kong Ming, since we have high hopes for Wucheng, then don't be petty and only garrison troops or build semi-permanent military bases.

We will build three satellite cities directly at these three troop exits, with specifications similar to Aikou Pass."

Kong Ming shook his goose feather fan, frowned, thought for a while, and said, "Sir, will building three more satellite cities take up too much of the people of Liusu Principality and the six principal kingdoms?"

Qu Mao said: "It shouldn't be possible. If it doesn't work, just let the troops stationed there repair it. Just spend more time.

The satellite city in the west is only 55 kilometers away from the west gate of Wucheng, the satellite city in the northwest is about 95 kilometers away from the northwest gate of Wucheng, and the satellite city in the northeast is about 65 kilometers away from the northeast gate of Wucheng. After complete construction, the entire enclosed area

Only by relocating the families of military officers can the family members of military officers have a sufficient sense of security.

Therefore, we must build the three satellite cities. As for the occupation of civilian resources, we can extend the construction time and pay to hire residents to build them. Of course, the stationed troops must also participate in the construction."

Kong Ming said: "Since your Excellency has decided, it must be built, so please hurry up and draw out the construction planning drawings.

About 20,000 high-level warriors can be stationed at each troop exit, and these high-level warriors can build as many as they can."

Qu Mao said: "I will definitely be able to draw the drawings tonight. As for how many soldiers to arrange, it's up to you to arrange them yourself."

Kong Ming shook his goose feather fan, thought for a while, and said: "Sir, the three military exits around Wucheng are being built into satellite cities. My subordinates feel that it may be necessary to mobilize some magicians from the magic army to help clean up the ground and level the valley..."

Qu Mao interrupted: "I know, it's just like building a village in the Holy Land in the past, right? OK, just inform Sophie Trani to make arrangements."

Kong Ming continued: "Sir, since all the families of military officers are being accommodated, then the food production in this area will definitely not be taxed in the future.

At most, they are asked to sell their surplus grain to Wucheng to use as military food..."

Qu Mao nodded and said: "Kong Ming, that makes sense, let's do it.

The resettlement of military dependents in the surrounding areas can extend the time period, otherwise the population of the Holy Land will be much smaller at once."

Kong Ming smiled and said: "If it's less, it's less. At worst, we can use residents with excellent qualifications to make up for it."
