Wu Dong didn't know that Tian Dao Song Que planned to send him an invitation.
If Heavenly Sword Song Que knew that the man with a famous poisonous tongue in the hinterland of the Central Plains was Wu Dong's trumpet, he would probably immediately turn against him and kill him with his sword.
At this time, he and the invited Lu Miaozi had returned to the countryside in the hinterland of the Central Plains.
Everything here felt strange and incredible to Lu Miaozi.
In my impression, can rural areas that are poor and backward and struggle to survive develop into a place that is not inferior to that of prosperous towns?
The facts tell him that he can!
A clean and tidy environment, with well-proportioned houses and roads extending in all directions.
The satisfied smiles of farmers coming and going, and the sounds of children reading aloud can be heard from time to time.
Looking around, what you see are almost all top-level warriors, regardless of gender, they are all the same.
There are also many third-rate, second-rate and even first-rate warriors. All of them are strong and strong, moving like the wind, and their work efficiency is astonishingly high.
At this time, road construction had started in the village, and only a long, semi-enclosed and spacious road was visible, extending to the end of the line of sight.
"Second Master, you guys have already started!"
After putting away the shock in her heart, Lu Miaozi laughed and joked: "It seems that it doesn't matter whether Lu exists or not!"
"Can it be the same?"
Wu Dong invited Lu Miaozi into the semi-enclosed gallop, pointed to the iron-clad wooden rails on the ground and the simple carriages above, and said leisurely: "Four strong packhorses pulling together can only pull eight fully loaded carriages. This
It’s not nearly enough!”
"Not only that, the speed of traveling hundreds of miles a day is still too slow, and Mr. Lu needs to take charge of improvements!"
"How to transform?"
Lu Miaozi asked back: "Lu said before that if you want to move the machinery and equipment, you must at least have the power of Feng Shui, and you can also use the hot air from the ground!"
"The heat underground can be used, but what about the heat you make yourself?"
Wu Dong laughed and led Lu Miaozi to a nearby empty building.
Lu Miaozi was immediately attracted by the train model on the ground.
Wu Dong didn't waste any time and directly started the train model he made by himself, letting it run quickly on the track.
"This is……"
After the model train had been running for half an hour, Lu Miaozi asked Wu Dong to stop the running model train.
He looked at the locomotive carefully, and even opened the cover above his head to look at it for a while, and couldn't help but exclaimed: "Water vapor, it turned out to be water vapor, why didn't I think of that!"
"Haha, Mr. Lu should understand now!"
Wu Dong said leisurely: "The model is just a model. Many of the best materials can be used, but it cannot be enlarged into a real train!"
"Train?"
Lu Miaozi nodded to express understanding: "It's very vivid and consistent!"
"To study the locomotive, please ask Mr. Lu!"
Wu Dong smiled softly and saw that Lu Miaozi had entered the researcher mode, and said leisurely: "If you need anything, Mr. Lu, just come to me directly. I will definitely not disappoint you!"
With that said, he called over a calm middle-aged man and introduced him to Lu Miaozi, saying that this was the temporary assistant assigned to him, and that he could handle ordinary simple affairs or chores.
Lu Miaozi was obviously fascinated by the train model and couldn't hear the noise outside at all. She casually waved her hand to signal him to get out.
Wu Dong didn't mind either, what he wanted was Lu Miaozi's condition.
The ability of a top master craftsman is absolutely beyond imagination.
He took aside the temporary assistant assigned to Lu Miaozi and warned: "Don't let Mr. Lu get too obsessed and forget to eat. You must be reminded in time for three meals a day!"
"In addition, I taught Mr. Lu the Five Animals Opera and the method of transporting qi and blood. Let him take low-level medicated diet and medicated bath first. After he is almost used to it and the qi and blood in his body have been replenished, he will be allowed to enjoy medium-level medicated diet and medicated bath.
Medicated bath!"
"Remember what I taught you. All experiments must be recorded in detail. Even the ideas must be recorded in the book. Don't be too troublesome!"
"If the research makes progress and meets my requirements, your benefits will be indispensable. You must work hard!"
These words made the middle-aged man nod his head repeatedly, his face full of high morale.
After saying goodbye to Lu Miaozi, Wu Dong called his younger brother who had been waiting for a long time and asked about what happened in the hinterland of the Central Plains during his absence.
No big deal!
The main force of the Wagang Army marched very smoothly, almost sweeping all the way, and captured two counties in one go.
Currently, we are attacking the third county, and I believe it won't take long to capture it.
This is a certain thing. Almost all the Sui generals who can fight in the hinterland of the Central Plains are in the Luodu area, and there are almost no powerful characters in the other counties.
In front of the powerful Shan Xiongxin, even the county defense could not withstand it. How could a local defense general with average strength be an opponent?
As a result, Shan Xiongxin swept all the way, and the main force of Wagang Army followed suit and was very happy.
It was indeed quite happy. Without Wu Dongfang's strict military discipline, the main soldiers of the Wagang Army did not seldom commit crimes and crimes during this sweep.
Of course, they were afraid of provoking Wu Dong and kept the situation under control to a certain extent, so they didn't dare to act unscrupulously.
When Wu Dong heard this, he just snorted coldly.
It would be really difficult to change some things without his strong intervention.
Of course, his troops also rapidly expanded their territory. The main force of the Wagang Army captured the town, and his subordinates followed suit and captured the surrounding rural areas.
If people in cities and towns cannot make a living, they can leave the city to make a living in the countryside.
Not to mention how poor the quality of life is, as long as you are willing to work hard, it will not be a problem to at least have enough food and clothing.
But there are some people who always feel that they are superior to others if they live in cities. They look down on country bumpkins and would rather endure hardship than go to the countryside.
Then there is nothing more to say, just continue to enjoy the whipping and torture of poor life.
Zhang Xutuo, who stayed behind in Luodu, didn't know what was going on. He seemed to have a drastic change in temperament and ignored the behavior of the main force of the Wagang Army.
They just continued to recruit new soldiers and reduced the defense of the Luodu area to the level of an iron barrel.
Of course, the reason why he acted this way was also related to the fact that Wu Dong's dozen or so first-rate military generals led 30,000 elite troops to block the door.
The dozen or so first-class generals were not fixed, but new faces rotated every once in a while, which was said to have put great pressure on Xingyang guard Cheng Yaojin.
This guy hasn't had a good night's sleep recently.
Ahem, from the seventh year of Daye to the autumn of the twelfth year of Daye now, after more than five years of continuous training, Wu Dong spent a lot of energy on education, and it finally bore fruit.
As batches of students from basic schools graduated, and many students from secondary schools graduated, the number of third-rate generals under Wu Dong's command swelled to tens of thousands like a balloon.
The number of second-rate generals has reached nearly a thousand, and although the number of first-rate generals is less than a hundred, it has exceeded fifty.
What is the concept of more than fifty first-class generals?
If the fighting mode is turned on again, it will be enough to exhaust Zhang Xutuo's generals to death, without any ambiguity.
As time goes by, the number of first-class generals under Wu Dong's direct line will only increase.
When the number reaches a certain level, Luodu will collapse on its own.
You must know that among the first-class generals, those who are extremely talented and have perseverance can at least reach the level of Shan Xiongxin as long as there are no accidents along the way.
Think about it, what a terrifying scene it would be if you met ten Shan Xiongxins at once.
Of course, as the Wagang army gained momentum in conquering the city, many reckless heroes came to join them.
Wu Dong is currently guarding Wagang Village, so he will naturally know the information about the good shooters as soon as possible.
Hao Xiaode! Liu Heita!
Wu Dong's eyelids twitched slightly when these two names came out of the mouth of the confidant brother who stayed behind in Wagang Village.
Aren't these two generals under Dou Jiande?
Especially Liu Heitai, who was an outstanding figure who led the troops alone to deal with the Tang Dynasty for a long time after Dou Jiande died. He was also a famous martial arts master in the late Sui Dynasty.
Of course, at this time, the two of them were just minions who had just defected to the Wagang Army.
Wu Dong didn't mean to take special care of him, but one day, he gathered together the heroes who had defected during this period to meet him.
That's right, those who took the initiative to defect to Wagang Village were all reckless heroes.
Their characteristics are quite distinct. They all come from ordinary backgrounds but are unwilling to be ordinary and lonely.
Either he had a chance encounter and received a martial arts inheritance, or he was simply gifted and could become a first-rate or even third-rate general just by relying on his physical fitness.
Naturally, he joined Wagang not because he was inspired by the Wagang Army, but because he wanted to work hard for a better future so that he and his family could achieve a class jump.
They are not pure people in the world, nor are they gangsters who rob families and homes, but exist in between the two.
Although he acts unscrupulously, he still has a bottom line and a conscience.
Wu Dong still had some expectations for these reckless heroes. Especially some of them with outstanding talents, they were quite capable in terms of martial arts training and commanding troops to fight.
It's not that there are no children from poor families or children from aristocratic families joining the Wagang Army.
But basically all of them went to Li Mi. It seemed that Li Mi was the only one among the senior leaders of Wagang, which was simply speechless.
That is to say, the big leader Zhai Rang has a bold personality and does not care about these small things. Otherwise, Li Mi would have been finished long ago.
It's a pity that even though Li Mi's staff team has more and more members and various talents have gathered, they can still only do some auxiliary work at this time.
Even if you have a strong general like Shan Xiongxin, it is basically useless to make plans. He has never been able to act alone.
As the power of the Wagang Army expanded rapidly and various talents emerged one after another, it became increasingly difficult for Li Mi to get ahead, and there was not much time left for him...
