After the First World War, Mida City was filled with wounded people, and people walking around with their arms hanging and their heads bandaged were everywhere.
There are also many captives tied up in many tribes.
According to the Di people's custom, these slaves captured from the battlefield were originally the property of each family and did not need to be handed over.
But now they still have to listen to Mida City's arrangements before they dare to allocate.
Because it is not their credit to capture these Wang Tingjun.
It was those thunder-like weapons in Mida City that weakened Wang Tingjun's spirit and foundation, and then allowed the tribe's herdsmen to chase down the drowned dog.
How to divide slaves?
How to distribute rewards?
How to care for the many wounded?
And after the two spy leaders were executed, what should we do with the two remaining tribes?
Was it divided up by other tribes, or was it taken as private property by the wife of the city lord?
The city lord's wife has long been a god-like existence in the minds of the tribe.
However, if Song Liyun really takes it away, other tribes will definitely not accept it.
The private slaves of the city lord's wife are nobler than them.
He was obviously the lowest slave, but now he has risen to the top.
There are also burned haystacks and shops. These are the property of the merchants and need to be compensated and liquidated.
The complicated affairs were piled up like a mountain. Fortunately, with Mrs. Wu Ya and Fang Zheng and others there, Song Liyun didn't worry about it at all. He only showed his face and discussed the firearms camp with Mr. Yu and Wan Youyou.
When grenades and landmines performed miraculous feats, setting up a firearms battalion became Song Liyun's first priority.
Wan Youyou responded positively.
When she first attacked the city, she did not go up to the city wall to watch the battle. She stayed in the research institute and wasted no time loading grenades with a few craftsmen.
She just wanted to make a few extra grenades and keep them with her to prevent her from being humiliated when the city was breached.
Unexpectedly, less than half an hour later, after several loud roars, Yiming ran back and shouted that Wang Tingjun was defeated!
The menacing Wang Tingjun... was defeated like this?
Song Liyun formed a firearms battalion, not only to reinforce Zhao Tingduo and Abu as soon as possible, but also for the safety of Mida City.
The Dilu Royal Court stumbled here. A thousand elite soldiers came over confidently, but in the end less than 200 escaped. This was a huge loss to the Dilu Royal Court.
Next time, it won't be so easy.
However, after this experience, Song Liyun also had the idea of expanding the city again.
To build a city, you need money.
Apart from various businesses, Mida City now also has a specialty product, which is crystal glassware made from stone.
Now, like all cashmere carpets, it has become a popular luxury product in the Wu Kingdom, and each one is worth a lot of money.
Build cities and make firearms.
The raw materials of gunpowder are saltpeter, sulfur and charcoal.
After investigation, Song Liyun learned that sulfur was produced in the south of Wu Dynasty, and saltpeter mines could be mined in large quantities in Yunzhou.
She can purchase raw materials from Zhao Tinlei and even hire craftsmen.
As long as all aspects are sufficient, in addition to portable grenades and mines, Song Liyun decided to add the most common city defense weapon, the red cannon!
There are cement and iron ore, plus the input from various sales, the budget is sufficient.
News of the war in Mida City quickly spread to the capital, and one month later, the Wu Dynasty issued a letter of credence announcing it to the world.
The Dilu royal court was arrogant and arrogant. Not only did it despise the Wu Dynasty, but it also drove the princess out of the grassland.
He also invaded the borders of the Wu Dynasty, sent troops to intercept and kill the caravans between the Wu Dynasty and its friendly countries, caused casualties, and did things that undermined peace. He was bound to crusade to avenge his country!
At this point, the Zhenbei army's entry into the Xuyang Grassland became a public matter, which immediately caused quite a stir among the people of the Wu Dynasty.
Just as Mr. Yu heard for the first time, the Wu Dynasty unexpectedly took the initiative to send troops to the grassland. Some people were worried and some were happy.
The ferocious impression of the Di people makes ordinary people's expressions change for fear of retaliation.
Especially in the imperial palace in the capital, on the gold brick floor in front of the young emperor's desk, people knelt down every day to pay homage to him and dissuade those who sent troops.
It is said that the Wu Dynasty was a great country, so it had to behave like a great country and could not send troops into other people's territory.
These words were rejected by the young, energetic and high-spirited new emperor.
The imperial concubine and the eldest princess had been living in seclusion in the palace since they fled from the Qi family in Hecheng. They even ignored the ban and wanted to meet the emperor.
In the betrayal of Pingliangbao and the attack on Mida City, in addition to a few criminals who defected to Di, there were also people from the Qi family who had been hiding and fleeing for a long time.
The Qi family was related to the harem of the Wu Dynasty.
Previously, because the Crown Princess and the Crown Princess were the elders of the previous Emperor, it was inconvenient for the new Emperor to deal with it, so it was time to eradicate the problem.
The new emperor did not give any chance to the harem members and directly demoted the Crown Princess to a commoner and expelled her from the capital.
The emperor's princess was also kicked out of the family and imprisoned in the royal monastery.
With the support of Emperor Wu, Xuyang Grassland once again fell into war.
Zhao Tingduo led thousands of cavalry to escort the Wu Dynasty army like a meat grinder, crushing them across the grassland bit by bit.
Time flies, and five years have passed in a flash.
Mida City has grown in size.
The size of the inner city has not changed, but the shops are no longer densely packed. There are only a few large shops, there are many fewer people coming and going, and the clothes are clean and neat.
The city not only added a garden in the center of the city, which is lined with trees and flowers, but also has verandas to cover the streets for people to rest and sit.
The city lord's palace has also been renovated, and it is magnificent and decorated with golden phoenixes. The maids and servants walking inside are even more carefully selected.
The outer city of Mida is also an additional shopping mall, which is three times larger than the inner city.
The streets in the city are spacious, shops are lined up in rows, and there are crowds of people.
The outer city wall is four feet high and the city wall more than one foot wide is majestic.
At the pass of the city wall, in addition to the arrow tower, there is also a dark cannon barrel protruding from the top of the wall.
Everyone who walks through the city gate will involuntarily look up.
Thinking back to two years ago, when the royal court of Xuyang Prairie finally perished, a bandit army of several hundred people went outside Mida City at night, hoping to capture the city lord's wife and the young master inside as hostages.
At that time, the outer city wall had just been built, and migrant workers and merchants were stationed in temporary prefabricated houses outside the city.
The cannon barrel on the wall was also wrapped in sheets of oilcloth.
The gangsters tried to rush into the migrant workers' camp first, but were discovered by the patrol camp and blasted out with a few thunderbolts.
Then the bandits gathered and rushed to the city gate.
Migrant workers and merchants saw the big cannonballs spitting out flaming tongues, while the gangsters were like withered grass under the whirlwind, falling in pieces as the earth trembled.
The earth-shattering explosion was heard for miles. Later, some people said that they heard thunder along the Zabu River, a three-day journey away.
This was the only battle for the Thunderbolt Cannon, and it only fired this one shot and it became the mascot of Mida City!
In the eighth year of Jingtai's reign, the Zhenbei Army regained a large area of grassland north of Yunzhou.
In the 10th year of Jingtai, the tribes in the Dilu grassland were unified and the country was founded as "Dadi".
The Uda tribe with firearms was the first tribe, with Ashileduo as the king, Song Liyun as the queen, and Mida City as the capital.
In the same year, Ashledo submitted his credentials to the Wu Dynasty and declared himself a vassal and paid tribute.
In the study room, Zhao Tingduo, who is already thirty years old, has a short beard and wears regular clothes, looking like a man from the Wu Dynasty.
He held his youngest son, who was just half a year old, with one arm, and his eldest son, who was already six years old, in his arms. Then he took time out of his busy schedule to say to Song Liyun, who was reading a letter: "Ayun, the emperor's cousin is recruiting
When you and Aniang go to Beijing to meet, eldest brother will send someone to escort you, and dad will also come out of Beijing to pick you up."
Song Liyun put away the letter, raised her eyebrows and said with a smile: "My mother-in-law and my father-in-law have been separated for ten years. I am afraid that when I go to Beijing, I will express my feelings of separation. It is not appropriate for me, my daughter-in-law, to accompany you!"
Zhao Tingduo glanced at her, shook his head and sighed: "Some time ago, Aniang said that my father has passed his sixtieth year, so she doesn't care too much about him and just spends a few years in the capital."
Speaking of this, Zhao Tingduo lowered his voice and said with a smile in his eyes: "Ayun, the capital of the Wu Dynasty is prosperous. You accompany my mother to the capital to see His Majesty and then come back. Don't be greedy for the feasting and feasting and forget about returning home."
The eldest brother sent a letter saying that his father fainted once when he went to the Winter Palace Meeting, and that night my mother's lamp stayed on all night.
Although Aniang came to Beijing this time to accept the title of Pingyuan County Lord from the Emperor Wu Dynasty, she also reunited with her father.
I just hope Ayun can come back as soon as possible and don't be blinded by the prosperity.
