Chapter 207 Just one year.

The ships in Yunzhou are almost the first to leave, but they are the slowest to arrive at the meeting point. The reason is also very simple. Yunzhou is the most remote of the seven continents along the south of the Yangtze River.

The meeting point was at Nanyang City. When they arrived at the port, Yuchi Feihu stood on the bedside, looking at the endless sails of clouds, his eyes suddenly widened, with a strange look on his face, like a bumpkin from the countryside entering the city.

It's not that he has never seen a navy. Because of his father's favor, his desire to see a navy was fulfilled when he was very young. At that time, he remembered that his father took him to see the strongest Black Dragon Guard in the East China Sea. At that time, it was

During the navy military exercise, there were thousands of black dragon sailing ships. Including the helmsmen and miscellaneous soldiers, there were more than 500,000 naval exercises. The formation was not a big one. The black sails were connected together to cover the sky and the sun. It gave people of that age

He was greatly shocked!

But even the memory of that time cannot compare to the present!

The reason is the difference in ships!

The ships in Jiangnan are larger, with a keel length of 24 meters. Most of the ships are equipped with three masts, and there are also exceptions with four masts.

The towering bow and stern decks look like floating castles from a distance, giving people a lot of pressure. The key is that there are so many such ships that you can almost never see the end at a glance!

"Why don't we in Yunzhou have such a ship?" Yuchi Feihu asked.

He had seen it a few months ago. It was called the Water God. It was a prototype made by students from the Engineering Huang Academy of the Xuanhuang Fourth Academy in Liuzhou. It has been improved many times. It is said that it is now being built in every state capital.

Planting shipyards has resulted in a special shortage of valuable wood that has recently dried in the shade.

"The water in Yunzhou is shallow and not as good as other state capitals. Moreover, the volume of export goods in Yunzhou is not as good as that of other states. Many businessmen cannot afford such good ships."

Di Yun looked at it with envy while sipping his drink, and said: "It's so majestic. When I get to Liuzhou, I must buy one for my subordinates!"

"There look like a lot of people here," Yuchi Feihu said, looking at the busy people on the big ship.

"That's a lot!" The sergeant surnamed Yang next to him said with a smile: "This time, there are more than 200,000 fighters recruited from the seven continents of Jiangnan. This does not include the boatmen and helmsmen who follow the merchant ships. This is a big move.

It is said that we are going to fight against the West Sea. I am afraid that the number of warriors participating in the battle, including those from Liuzhou, will exceed 300,000. If we include the logistics troops and sailors on the ship, this time, one million soldiers will participate in the battle!"

"Really or not!" Yuchi Feihu immediately geared up!

He had never dared to think about a war involving millions of soldiers. The last time he followed the Duke of Qin to show off his military exploits, he ended up fleeing in embarrassment. This time he would definitely not end up like before.

Di Yun was a little stunned.

Millions of sergeants?

He is an old man who came from Liuzhou. He still remembers that when he joined the army, there were only ten thousand fighters in Liuzhou.

We also had to divide our troops to support other prefectures. At that time, each of our several squads could only receive less than a thousand soldiers. We would often quarrel with each other for one or two hundred more soldiers!

Just one year has passed, are they already so big now?

You know, they have left half of their soldiers in Yunzhou, and the same must be true for other state capitals. That is to say, Mr. Chen Qing now has millions of soldiers to participate in the war, and he can also reserve millions of soldiers to guard the war.

With the territory already laid,

This kind of thing would be impossible for any other force, right?

Looking at the magnificent fleet in front of him, Di Yun once again felt that he had made the right choice. Lord Chen Qing would definitely be able to spread all the wonderful things that are happening in Jiangnan to the entire Central Plains!

——

At this time in Liuzhou City, the fat man Zhou Haitao was extremely busy. He had been staying up for three days and three nights to compile the things under his hands. Now he was dizzy. When he stood up, he felt that the pens in his hands were all phantoms. .

The large-scale military deployment in the seven state capitals has more than 200,000 warriors capable of fighting, not counting the civilians who assist the army. Among them, the preparation of grain and grass, consumables for ships and various maintenance data have allowed Liuzhou to now have hundreds of All the civil and administrative staff had stars in their eyes.

Even the civil and military judges from Wei Gongcheng's Yin Division were recruited to help settle accounts in the state capital.

Looking at the busy people, Wei Gongcheng had a wry smile on his face. Ever since Mr. Shen came to Nanyang to serve as the City God, his most familiar chat partner was Zhou Haitao, a fat man. Now he is being used as a beast, even if Chen Qing doesn't give orders. He and his friend are asking for help, how can he evade it?

But I also have a lot of things going on.

Now, unlike before, Chen Qing's entire power only has one city god. Now, all the seven continents in the south of the Yangtze River have been granted the title of new Yinsi City God, and most of them are from the Shen family. The Shen family seems to be particularly interested in the position of Yinsi City God. Shen died tragically. The Tenth Master became the City God of Yunzhou, and Shen Jiuye became the City God of Yangzhou. The tall and brave Fourth Master Shen also took the initiative to recommend himself and became the City God of Xiangzhou. It is said that the Second Master Shen also made a reservation to be the City God of Nanming Mansion. Bit.

It seems like the Shen family wants to create a Yinsi family!

This is not a good thing for yourself.

Although he is the original City God, and Liuzhou is also the birthplace of Chen Qing, the population size here is far less than that of the other six continents, and the Shen family is everywhere. With various joint policies to help each other, he will compete for higher levels in the future. It may be difficult to assume the position of city god.

My goal is not Liuzhou. Chen Qingke promised at the beginning that if there is a chance, he can choose the place with the best construction in Jiangnan Yinsi.

Of course he doesn't want to stay in Jiangnan forever. He also hopes to become the city god of the capital one day and take a good look at the faces of the Wei family members when they see him in the underworld.

So these days, he has done a lot of work personally, just to build a good reputation and attract higher-quality people to Liuzhou. Only with more people will the underworld in Liuzhou become more prosperous.

But at this critical moment for performance, this fat man had to pull him over to become a strong man.

"Oh my God, why does a Yangzhou shipyard need 800,000 yuan of incense silver? The scale of Nanyang City is only 600,000 yuan!"

"The transportation cost is high." Wei Gongcheng rolled his eyes: "How can Yangzhou's location compare with Nanyang? There are countless mountains around Nanyang, and there are more than a dozen mountain gods who have succeeded it, and the output of good sacred trees is twice that of Liuzhou. , the cost is of course different from that of Yangzhou, a plain land."

"But even this is too much and they have been urging for people there. There are only so many disciples in Huangyuan who can go out for internships in a year. Where can I create people for them?"

When Wei Gongcheng heard this, he fell silent and stopped talking.

As various industrial products such as artillery, ships, and tailoring machines have begun to be researched by the academy one after another, various places are now scrambling for disciples of the Huang Academy. As a result, the disciples of the Huang Academy who are skilled in craftsmanship are now more skilled than the formation masters and masters of the Tiandi Academy. Rune masters are still popular.

The governors from several places were eager to come to Liuzhou to rob people.

But Huangyuan recruits so many disciples in a year, how can it be enough?

If this continues, it will only be a matter of time before the other seven continents open Yin Yang Colleges like Liuzhou.

This is not what Wei Gongcheng wants.

The Yin and Yang College in Liuzhou produces sorcerer talents, and will attract more and more students to come here in the future. The stronger the culture and education, the more high-quality people it will attract. Teachers who teach, and successful businessmen will all come here because of it.

Liuzhou University moved to Liuzhou for reasons.

Liuzhou is already at a disadvantage in terms of population, so if he wants to surpass those city gods of the Shen family, he has to think about quality.

Even if there was a shortage of people outside, Wei Gongcheng would not remind Chen Qing to open a branch outside.

This kind of thing can be delayed for a day!

"By the way, what does Boss Chen want to do with such a big battle this time?" Zhou Haitao complained while looking at various accounts: "Isn't it just that the eldest princess has withdrawn from Nanming Mansion? Is such a big battle necessary?"

"Not to mention that there is a high probability that all the living corpses in Nanming Mansion will be taken away by the eldest princess. Even if there are living corpses everywhere, there is no need for so many people, right?"

"You don't understand." Wei Gongcheng shook his head and said with a smile: "Nanming Mansion is the gateway to the south of the Yangtze River. After the eldest princess leaves, we will have to bear the threat to the West Sea ourselves, and Her Royal Highness the eldest princess may also attack us in the future. The location of the gateway

, No amount of heavy troops deployed is too much!"

"The terrain in the south of the Yangtze River is complicated and there are many waterways. There is no need to worry about logistical support and food. Therefore, no matter how many sergeants are stationed, we can afford it."

"We can only afford it." Zhou Haitao twitched his lips.

As for the boss's violent army mode, if it weren't for the diligent work of the mountain gods in various major regions and the frequent emergence of various high-grade grains, it would have been unstoppable long ago.

"That's true." Wei Gongcheng nodded. Now the most popular in the academy are the Gongqiao disciples from Huangyuan.

Next are the agricultural disciples of Xuanziyuan. Those high-end crops that can be grown with Xiannong are the key to feeding the millions of troops in the south of the Yangtze River!

You must know that Chen Qing's million-strong army does not include militiamen. They are all solid fighting armies. When placed in the court and concentrated on the tens of billions of farmers, they can barely raise an army of one million. Under normal circumstances, just one soldier from Jiangnan can

Land, it is too much to be able to raise two hundred thousand high-quality children.

Chen Qing was able to make such a sudden attack, and it was true that only the model under his command could be stable.

But it was a pain for logistics staff like Zhou Haitao who were responsible for recording.

After all, for each high-level crop, how much a fighter of that level can eat, how much energy it produces, how unreliable the output is, how cost-effective it is, how much nutrition it adds to soldiers, how much it costs, etc. all need to be recorded by them, and

There are now thousands of mountain gods throughout Jiangnan, and there are even hundreds of thousands of fairy farmers scattered throughout the country.

Coupled with the research of the farmyard brothers, new crops come out every day. Zhou Haitao and others are often busy just recording these explosive agricultural products.

"I've told the boss so many times to expand enrollment, but he just can't bear it," Zhou Haitao yelled angrily.

"It's not that I'm reluctant, it's because there aren't that many literati." Wei Gongcheng looked outside and sneered: "Nowadays, all over the south of the Yangtze River, those former gentlemen are still waiting for the court to bring order to the chaos!"
