When Wang Ruiyang and Guan Zhengqing began to rejoice after entering the Kingdom of Canglan, Zhang Hao also walked out of the city lord's mansion with a smile on his face and a relaxed expression.
Just now, Zhang Hao and the city lord Liu Jingming discussed some supplementary plans for military construction - civilian military forces, militia corps! Militia for short.
The Ocean Group will begin to establish a directly affiliated militia corps and will assist the country in fighting.
At this critical moment, Liu Jingming hesitated for a moment before agreeing, and did not stipulate the number of troops of Dayang Group. The meaning was obvious - the more the better, as long as you can bear the cost.
Liu Jingming also knew very well that it was time, and he should not think about anything else. As for whether the Zhang family and Dayang Group would suddenly rebel against the country, Liu Jingming was not worried. Because there is no benefit to treason.
For many things, you can get the answer just by considering the stakes.
The Kingdom of Jinyang has almost cleaned up all the large and small families in the country, and even killed the goose to lay eggs; for this reason, the Kingdom of Jinyang did not hesitate to lure the wolf into the house. Actual results have proved that the Kingdom of Jinyang has achieved unprecedented success, forming a
A strong centralized state.
But obviously, no family, sect, etc. would like such centralized power.
The Dayang Group is obviously a conglomeration of many families. It is impossible for everyone to surrender to the Kingdom of Jinyang. That would be an act of seeking death.
Zhang Hao quickly arrived at Zhang's Mansion - now Zhang's Mansion has become the 'headquarters' of Dayang Group. Representatives from all parties, that is, shareholder representatives, gathered here. After Zhang Hao arrived, he immediately announced to everyone what he had just done
Negotiation results.
"Establish a militia army?!" Bai Ye was the most excited. "Are there any restrictions on the number of people, weapons and equipment, etc.?"
"No! Nothing!" Zhang Hao had a bright smile on his face, "As long as we can bear the cost, the more the better. However, because we had previously promised to arm the 10,000 elite troops brought by General Wu Fanghai, this matter cannot be delayed.
Already."
Bai Ye's excited voice was a little sharp: "Those are all small problems! I also looked at the Zhang family's production capacity, and it is estimated that in five or six days, 10,000 weapons and armor embryos can be forged. The Weapon Refining Association also has
Working overtime.
Haha, I have seen weapons and armor forged from steel, and their quality reaches the level of top-grade magic weapons. If we can build such a legion, we will definitely be able to attack the imperial capital of the Kingdom of Jinyang!"
You are too optimistic~
Zhang Hao rolled his eyes, but he could also feel Bai Ye's mood - after working underground for so many years, he finally had the opportunity to step onto the stage and command a large army in battle.
It’s indeed exciting to think about.
But the premise is, are you really capable of commanding a large army to fight?
After a while, the news of the establishment of the militia spread among the entire top management of the newly established Dayang Group, and then all the shareholders.
The shareholders' meeting was held again, and discussions were held immediately. Legion operations are different from single-person combat, and military commanders are very important.
The meeting discussed for a long time, but still did not get a satisfactory candidate. Bai Ye was defeated in everyone's military question and answer.
Those present were all family representatives, representatives of trading companies, and surprisingly there were several representatives of small and medium-sized mercenary groups. Mercenary groups were different from legions in that they could not pass the military discipline alone, so they were excluded at the first opportunity.
Finally, Zhang Hao had to say: "Today's meeting about the militia will end here for now. We have wasted a lot of time. Everyone is looking for some military talents. We will discuss it in a few days.
The next issue we discuss is to build a militia corps. Everyone must contribute people and efforts to provide all-round support.
On behalf of the Zhang family, I made a decision: to fund all weapons and armor embryos for the militia corps, all of which are made of steel. We will also try our best to provide crossbow beds. In five days, the Zhang family will be able to complete the production of weapons and armor for the city lord's palace.
By then, the Zhang family can provide 200 sets of embryos for steel weapons and armor every day, and can also produce a brand new crossbow bed made of steel every day, as well as more than two thousand crossbow arrows. The entire body of the crossbow arrows is made of ordinary black iron, and the arrow part is made of steel.
.
In addition, tens of thousands of ordinary arrows can be produced every day.
It also provides two tons of black iron specially used for alchemy every day, which can be used to refine spiritual treasures for Yuanying stage masters participating in the militia and use it to reward soldiers.
It is expected that the Zhang family can provide supplies with a total value of more than 500,000 high-grade spiritual stones every day.
In addition, the Zhang family will also organize some guards to join the militia. The details will be reported to everyone after the statistics are collected."
As soon as Zhang Hao opened his mouth, everyone exclaimed. Especially the many Nascent Soul masters who had "invested their own shares", their eyes instantly brightened - as long as you join the militia, you can get black iron specially used for alchemy, two tons per day.
!
If I could create a spiritual treasure... I would tremble just thinking about it and make my enemies tremble!
Therefore, more than fifty people signed up for the Nascent Soul Stage on the spot.
Zhang Hao smiled: "Let's discuss it in five days. Everyone should go back and think about it carefully. Especially all the shareholders in the Nascent Soul stage, if you have any friends, you are also welcome to join the militia."
Immediately, a Nascent Soul Qi asked: "Then can they join the Dayang Group?"
Zhang Hao looked around and said slowly: "Before the war, Dayang Group should probably maintain stability first. Let's talk about the rest after the war. What do you think?"
Everyone nodded. None of the shareholders wanted to see any changes right now. At least, they wanted to wait until they had established a firm footing and Dayang Group was stabilized.
Seeing everyone nodding, Zhang Hao looked at Nascent Soul Stage again: "Senior Li, if you have a friend who joins the militia, he can enjoy full benefits.
But as the introducer, you are also the guarantor. If something goes wrong, the board of directors and the general meeting of shareholders will hold you accountable, and you need to bear full responsibility.
You can see it?"
"This is what it should be!" The master readily agreed.
Afterwards, everyone dealt with the problems discovered in the past two days and determined the temporary development direction of Dayang Group. It was evening. When Zhang Hao returned home in the evening, he immediately summoned everyone to ask who had the talent to lead.
Even if the Zhang family cannot completely control the military power of this militia, they must still control part of it. Since ancient times, no matter what world it is, military power has been crucial.
"Master, I can try." Dugu Junjie stood up.
"Oh..." Zhang Hao was a little surprised, "Dugu, to be honest, I haven't asked you about your origins until now. Although I shouldn't, I have to ask about the current situation."
The Zhang family's water forging technique was brought by Dugu Junjie. It can also be said that Dugu Junjie contributed a lot to the success of the Zhang family. However, the Zhang family still remained cautious about an unknown person.
In the eyes of everyone, Dugu Junjie pondered for a while, and finally sighed: "Have you ever heard of the country of Shaoze?"
Zhang Hao, Zhang Shengde, Zhang Shengye and Zhang Han all nodded.
The Kingdom of Shaoze, a big country in the middle of the Fertile Continent—once upon a time.
In the country of Shaohua, in the east of the country of Canglan,
In the north of Langya country,
In the southeast of the Qingyun Kingdom,
There is a country with the largest land area in the Fertile Continent. This is the country of Shaoze. Its area is almost twice that of any of the above-mentioned countries, to two and a half times as much.
The Kingdom of Shaoze was too big, and it exuded a disturbing atmosphere. So under the joint calculations of many surrounding countries, the Kingdom of Shaoze... fell apart!
Today, the Kingdom of Shaoze has been split into two parts, the east and the west, with the turbulent Shaoze River in the middle - the Kingdom of Shaoze was also named after the river.
But even if it is split into two parts, there are still warlords, families, sects and other separatists of various sizes within the Shaoze Kingdom. Behind each separatist force there is support from foreign countries. Only the first-class separatist forces, that is,
There are only 15 people who have the ability to build a nation!
Today's Shaoze Country can be said to be a...semi-colony!
Dugu Junjie sighed, with a complex expression on his face: "My father is Dugu Xin, the great general of Shangzhu Kingdom who was once the Kingdom of Shaoze. At that time, my father saw the crisis and advocated the use of force to weaken the major families and nobles. However, he was attacked by the major families and
The nobles joined forces to kill.
At midnight that night, more than 500 infants besieged the general's mansion, and even ghosts appeared. I only escaped with a narrow escape.
Except for me, almost everyone in the Dugu family died in the battle.
The old, weak, women and children who were not capable of fighting were killed by poison.
Only a few of our brothers escaped under the cover of our father, uncles, etc. But I was also separated from my brothers.
However, we agreed that when we reach the late Nascent Soul stage, we will gather at the old home of the Dugu family before it became famous, leave our family mark and reconnect."
Everyone was stunned when they heard this. They didn't expect that a captain of their own bodyguards could reveal something about the Kingdom of Shaoze behind his back!
Shocked or not?
Not a surprise?
He was once the son of the great general of the Shangzhu Kingdom of the Shaoze Kingdom. This status alone allowed Dugu Junjie to gain a lot of trust in his military talents.
However, Zhang Hao still had to ask some more pointed questions to prevent the emergence of an armchair trick master.
Facing Zhang Hao's sharp questions, Dugu Junjie looked calm and answered fluently. For example, surrounding a point to call for reinforcements, showing the enemy weakness, luring the enemy deep, making it difficult to tell the truth from the truth, making false claims to the east and attacking in the west, diverting the tiger away from the mountain, making things out of nothing, secretly concealing Chen Cang, etc., Dugu Junjie not only answered clearly and clearly
, and there are many examples.
Even the bizarre tactics such as mobile warfare and guerrilla warfare proposed by Zhang Hao, Dugu Junjie dealt with them.
Finally, Zhang Hao asked a big question: "The Zhang family has been studying artillery recently. The core of artillery is explosives. And the power of explosives, sir, has actually been seen.
The explosion at Xinglin Hall was either an elixir or an explosion of explosives. The explosion that Zhou Xueyao and I created a few days ago was also a test of explosives.
Now that explosives have matured, we can shoot them ten kilometers away, far beyond the attack range of crossbows. Its explosion power is enough to kill the Jindan stage and seriously injure the Nascent Soul stage.
