"Of course we need to build roads. No matter how bad the natural environment is, there will be investment in building roads. Just like our three southwestern provinces, where there are mountains everywhere, haven't we already started building roads? Although there is no guarantee that all roads will be built.
corners, but any place cannot be more than fifty kilometers away from the road. This is the policy formulated by our anti-insurgent army. The northwest region may be more difficult, but it will change every day."
Thinking of the changes in his hometown, Long Jintu's face showed a smile. At that time, the Suppression Army took out 8 million silver coins to build a simple road network in the southwest region. At that time, many people thought that the Suppression Army was fooling them.
After all, nothing has changed in the southwest region for thousands of years, but when the funds are really in place, these people will not be able to say that the Suppression Army is definitely suitable for you to play the truth, and there will never be a lie.
"This is really great. There have never been so-called roads in the northwest. Wherever you go, you are there. Only some businessmen have entered some small roads. Over the years, many people have lost their way. As long as they walk into the desert,
Basically, it is difficult to get out alive. If there is a road in our place, many things here can be transported to the Central Plains, which is a good prospect for us businessmen."
This guy said with a smile that the Suppressing Army was willing to develop the local economy, and those who took the biggest bribes were naturally the local people. If the blockade was the same as before, it is estimated that this would not change for hundreds of years. After all, the northwest was hundreds of years ago.
The area was like this, and it is still like this now. The arrival of the suppressing army gave them great hope.
"Don't worry, our prince is different from other people. Others will only occupy this place militarily and don't care about local changes at all. The life and death of the people has nothing to do with them. Our prince has a relatively high profile and can't see anything.
It's relatively far away. Only if your local economy develops well can it bring us more tax revenue and our army can live a better life. These are actually mutually reinforcing, but most people can't see it.
This is why they will become the defeated generals of our prince."
Long Jintu said with a smile that although three months of military school life was not enough for him to learn all the courses, he could be said to have a deeper understanding of certain actions of the prince. This is why their whole family
The reason why they all followed the Suppression Army was that his father was called the King of the Southwest. If he had not followed the Suppression Army, his life might have been more comfortable, but Long Jintu wanted to see what would happen if he followed Gao Shaoyi.
What was the result? So he and his family joined the suppressing army without hesitation.
"Call the whole army to speed up and reach Saibei City before dark."
Long Jintu looked at the current sky. If he didn't speed up, he might not be able to arrive before dark. After his order was issued, thousands of cavalry began to speed up, and dust rose over a large area of the wasteland.
.
The soldiers under his command were also very excited. This was the second big city they were about to capture. They all hoped to get some exercise. There was no fighting of any kind in Loujincheng because Boss Xue had already retreated with his men.
Well, don’t be like that here.
Seventy miles north.
There is a settlement army stationed here. These people ran away from the six central provinces. There are currently more than 20,000 people. The remaining people have already fled. Some people have returned directly to the six central provinces.
They became local people on the spot. In short, they only had one idea, that is, not to follow the Xue brothers and continue to escape for their lives. If we continue to escape with you, I am afraid that our own lives will be lost.
Everyone can see this situation now. There is no possibility for the Xue brothers. Although they keep talking about making a comeback, most of the gold and silver treasures in their hands have been lost. And because of their strategic mistakes, at this moment
Just like rats crossing the street, if they continue to run around and the food they carry is gone, they will wait for the wild wolves in the wilderness to eat them.
"Brother, we have to think of a way. If we continue like this, I'm afraid our men will be reduced by half in less than three days. We lost more than a thousand people last night."
Xue Laosan went out for a walk, and now they were already feeling cold. The people in the military camp were all counted, but now the people who were sent out to count them all ran away. How could they stay calm?
"Do you think I don't know the current situation? But the question is how should we change it? Look at the situation around here. It seems that there are security corps investigators everywhere. We are dozens of miles south, and that is the security corps.
Fortunately, the place they want to occupy is a town. If they search the entire wilderness, there will be no place for us."
Boss Xue seems to have aged several dozen years. He is still very energetic, but after a series of failures, his eyes are dull. Now he carries these boxes behind him wherever he goes. Inside are
He has his last capital. If he loses this, he may not even have the courage to live. Except for his own nephew, no one else will believe him.
"That's right. After the signing of this agreement, the hearts of the brothers were scattered. I didn't expect that the Rakshasa Empire was so useless. I originally wanted to defect to them. Now their own troops are about to withdraw and defect to them.
They are really useless."
Xue Laosan also looked disappointed. According to their original thinking, even if we serve as pawns for others, at least we will be useful. We can get supplements from the Rakshasa Empire in the border areas, allowing them to still be grass-headed kings. But
Now it seems that this route is dead. The Rakshasa Empire's army can run faster than rabbits. If we get close to them at this time, we will be used as cannon fodder by them just like we did two days ago.
"What you said is not unreasonable. You said that if we bring people to the border, we will occupy the mountain and become the king. We usually have the Rakshasa people to support us. If they have any trouble, we can help them and suppress the captive army.
Let’s run as soon as we come, since the wasteland is very big anyway…”
Boss Xue's eyes lit up, as if he had found a way out for these people. Of course, if he wanted to do this, he couldn't bring all his men with him... This chapter has been completed!
