Jiangdu City is located in the northwest of the intersection of the Tianjiang River and the Hanjiang River. It is adjacent to the Tianjiang River to the south and the Hanjiang River to the east. The Tongyang Canal runs from east to west and the Beijing-Hangzhou Canal runs from north to south. It is the source of the east line of the South-to-North Water Diversion Project and the river network within the city.
Densely covered, flat terrain.
Since ancient times, the Jiangdu area has been the hub and transit station connecting the north and the south. It has always been a battleground for military strategists. It is the springboard for the southern troops to move north and the bridgehead for the northern division to move south. Its importance is evident.
After the founding of the Sui Dynasty, the city of Jiangdu was expanded and promoted to the level of Tiandu. It was one of the three capitals in the world. It was originally used to suppress the southern barbarians and the Japanese. It was also an important stronghold for the south-to-north water diversion and south-south grain transportation. It was a political
, economic, military and other important cities.
There are countless streams in Jiangdu City. There are 36 main rivers throughout the city. There are 72 streets from east to west and 81 streets from north to south. The permanent population is about 240 million, and the circulating population exceeds 50 million.
The city gates, various rivers, and various ports are full of people every day, with chariots and horses like dragons, and boats and boats hundreds of miles away.
Jiangdu Palace is located in Jiangdu North District, with a length of about 30 miles from north to south, a width of more than 20 miles from east to west, and an area of about 130 square kilometers (equivalent to the area of Xiamen Island in FJ Province).
The palace wall is a city wall at the level of a giant city. It is hundreds of feet high. Surrounded by raging rivers outside the city, it is a natural moat.
The palace has beautiful mountains and rivers, lake waves are like mirrors, rivers are intertwined, and the scenery is picturesque.
Jiangdu Palace is not so much a palace as a resort.
Of course, Jiangdu Palace was originally a palace built with huge sums of money by the Civil and Military Saint Emperor Yang Guang, and a resort where he lived when he went south.
The previous war did not affect Jiangdu Palace, but due to the fierce fighting of the heroes who killed their lords, countless palace buildings were destroyed. These cannot be rebuilt in a short time. Jiangdu City has no time and manpower to repair it. Today, most of the buildings are still in dilapidated condition.
When the patron king Yang Lin left, he took the Jiangdu Palace Imperial Guards with him and named them the Guards. This solved a big problem for Wu Xin. There was no need to worry about how to place the Sui Imperial Guards!
Just from this point, Wu Xin could see what Yang Lin was thinking.
Yang Lin acquiesced that Jiangdu belonged to Wu Xin, and even the south belonged to Wu Xin.
Unless the Sui Empire can make a comeback in the future, it will not dare to look to the south in the short term.
Of course, the Sui Empire still had several heavenly kings in charge, and it was still undoubtedly the strongest force.
Wu Xin naturally regarded Jiangdu Palace as his place of residence, as the future residence of Prince Wu, and possibly the royal palace and forbidden palace.
More than 6,500 Xinwu guards entered Jiangdu Palace, which seemed extremely empty. It was completely insufficient to guard Jiangdu Palace and even the most basic maintenance was difficult.
According to the scale of Jiangdu Palace, it can easily accommodate three to four hundred thousand troops, including garrison and military training grounds. After all, the number of imperial troops originally guarding Jiangdu Palace was as high as 300,000, and there were nearly 100,000 eunuchs and maidens to maintain operations.
Nowadays, in the huge Jiangdu Palace, there are only more than 60,000 eunuchs and maids, more than 6,500 military guards, and more than a hundred generals and confidants.
The original defenders were prohibited from entering the palace, so for the time being only the eunuchs and maids were cleaning up the mess, cleaning up debris and making partial repairs.
Wu Xin has no plans to deploy other troops to the palace to assist. He will only station the Xinwu Guards. The number of troops is currently seriously insufficient, so he will take his time and wait for the expansion of the Xinwu Guards.
With Jiangdu's population, army, talented people, and countless elite soldiers, it would be quick to expand Xinwuwei. However, it will take time to maintain or go further!
If you want to keep the level of Shayun and Military Soul, it is best to recruit only one-fifth of the original manpower, wait for one-fifth to integrate into the army, gain the approval of the Military Soul, and then increase the number by one-fifth, and so on.
Today's Xinwu Guards only have 315 gold-armored guards, 5,406 silver-armored guards, and 974 iron-armored guards. If we want to increase the number to Wu Xin's expectations, the silver-armored guards are not bad.
, the armored military guards have a long way to go, it is estimated that it will take a year and a half.
Since leaving the clan, Wu Xin has been fighting in the north and south. He doesn't want to worry about it for the time being, and plans to digest the territory he currently governs first.
The territory of the five prefectures in the name, plus the territory of Du Fuwei's army, will be very large. We can only wait until it is consolidated before making other plans. If we take too big a step, we will easily get into trouble.
In the past, under the pressure of the imperial court, Wu Xin was only a nominal official. Now he regards it as his own place and his own people, so the meaning is naturally different.
…
After staying in Jiangdu Palace for a few days, everything was going on in an orderly manner, with many things but not chaos, and complicated but not annoying.
Under heavy money, there must be brave men.
Thanks to Wu Xin's generous and fair and benevolent employment and recruitment, there were no major accidents in the replenishment of the army, the employment of civilians, and the repair of city wall buildings. For the time being, there was no corruption or bribery, or any violation of the law.
In three days, the vast Jiangdu Palace was cleared, and countless skilled craftsmen moved in to begin reconstruction and repairs.
Wu Xin does not require repeating the old views, and he is not as luxurious as Yang Guang. He can just rebuild according to ordinary standards, and the speed will be faster!
In five days, the vast Jiangdu City was cleared, countless ruins and debris were removed, and various houses, shops, pavilions, mansions, etc. were rebuilt on the original site. The city wall was the top priority and was repaired in time.
In eight days, the corpses and relics that stretched for more than a hundred miles outside the North City, and the corpses and items scattered all over the city were cleared.
The corpses were piled up like a mountain, forming dozens of hills with a height of 100 meters. All corpses were burned together to prevent the spread of the plague.
Various relics, trophies, etc. were also piled up into dozens of hills.
Especially the thousands of siege equipment, which look like ancient giant beasts. These are the joint efforts of countless rebels, sects, gangs, aristocratic families and other forces to build them, and they cost countless dollars.
In fact, these broken siege equipment are the biggest harvest of Prince Wu's Mansion. Even if they are used as scrap copper and iron, they are worth a lot of money. They can basically be recast to create an astonishing army of heavy weapons, which can be used to attack cities or defend cities.
Cities can make people feel intimidated.
Having said that, these siege equipment really don't have any technology at all. The structures are very simple and they only pursue three points: they are large enough, heavy enough, and powerful enough, so materials are more important.
The relics of the defenders will be returned and pensions will be paid. The innocent victims will be returned. The belongings of the enemy troops and rebellious parties will be returned to the treasury and temporarily taken to Jiangdu Palace.
In ten days, the recruitment matters in Jiangdu City were basically completed, and large-scale recruitment in the five counties began.
On the same day, the Jinjia Wuwei personally went out and posted a "Recruiting Xinwuwei Candidates" announcement in the streets and alleys of Jiangdu; among all Jiangdu armies, Xinwuwei candidates were selected. All had to have a clean background, and their place of origin in the five counties was given priority.
Today's King Wu has just won a great victory in Jiangdu and has the power to kill immortals. He is so powerful that he is powerful in the world. At the height of the sun, recruiting personal guards is much easier than recruiting troops on a daily basis. The number of applicants is overwhelming.
Those in the Body Refining Realm and ordinary people are classified into the Iron Armored Guards and are renamed Xinwu Iron Guards. Their armor is still mainly iron armor and will be stationed at Jiangdu Palace in the future.
In the Qi Refining Realm, they were classified into the Silver Armored Guards and were renamed Xinwu Jingwei. The armor was still mainly silver armor. This was the real personal guard and would go on expeditions with King Wu.
In the realm of refining the gods, he was classified into the Golden Armored Guards and was renamed Xinwu Guards. The name was a bit treacherous, but he named it like that. King Wu's ambition was clearly revealed.
Of course, very few senior monks were recruited, only twenty-seven were recruited, and they were basically casual cultivators.
