"My lord, the land where the ghosts came out is very fertile, and there are a lot of minerals buried underground." Li Yi said with an excited smile on his face: "This time we made a lot of money."
Xiliang has suffered a lot of losses, but when we take a proper inventory of the territory left after the ghosts and monsters retreated, the sadness in our hearts cannot suppress the excitement on our faces.
Currently, the most lacking thing in the southwest is various minerals. In the past few years, most of the iron mines and some rare mines have been mined by Xiliang miners.
Especially for necessary minerals such as iron ore, Xiliang needs to manufacture a large amount of armor and weapons every year, but now the mining areas in the northwest have been almost exhausted.
The ability to support it until now is thanks to the support from the minerals in the Dark World, otherwise it would have been in a dilemma of lack of various mineral materials.
Once Xiliang lacks necessary minerals such as iron ore, it will have a great impact on the entire Xiliang army. The Xiliang army needs a large amount of weapons and equipment, and farmers need various iron farm tools.
So what we obtained this time is like a fresh source of water injected into a dry land for Xiliang.
"That's good!" Li Xiang's brows were still a little sad: "Let Li Huo lead his army to sit here, and at the same time establish a patrol team to be responsible for patrolling."
He was not fooled by the huge victory. Xiliang was now walking on a tightrope. He had to be cautious every step he took, and the problems in the chaotic world had not yet been solved.
Although he had already expelled this person from the blue star realm around the camp, the other party must know where they were, and a general was needed to guard them there.
However, the number of generals in Xiliang is limited. The Great Wall needs top generals to guard it, Tongtian River City, Dark World, Far West Fortress, plus this area.
The five battle orders he trained have all been stationed in their respective areas, and the generals who can still be used have been assigned to various places by him.
Now he has very few talents at his disposal. Although there are many talents in the Seventh, Eighth, and Ninth Legions, there are very few who can take charge of one side.
So he looked very sad.
"My lord, we cannot worry too much about the talent issue. In the worst case, let the commander-in-chief of an army lead his troops to take charge."
There are also some generals in the Xiliang army. Although they are not as good as the five generals, they can still guard one side.
It's just that the troops they command are the same army they command, and they don't have the ability to command multiple arms.
"It seems that this is the only way!" Li Xiang sighed and said: "We have to seize the reserve of talents, otherwise when the real war breaks out, we will have no one available, and it will be difficult."
Li Xiang now found that he had very few useless people in his hands. The Xiliang army was extremely loyal, but there were very few generals who could truly lead an army on their own.
As for the Seventh, Eighth, and Ninth Legions, there are some talents in these legions, but the troops they have are enough for them to lead, and it would be a bit difficult for them to lead the new army.
The more troops you have, the better. The more troops you have, the harder it is to command. Therefore, without corresponding real talents and learning, it is difficult to command an army of more than 100,000 people.
The incompetence of one general will lead to the death of the three armies. When he saw this sentence in the military book, Prime Minister Li firmly remembered this sentence in his mind.
Li Yi said helplessly: "My lord, you were a bit cruel to the local aristocratic families before, which caused some talented children of the aristocratic families to flee the northwest. Those who can learn things in the northwest and have sufficient knowledge are the children of some aristocratic families.
Because of your attitude towards the aristocratic family, they fled the Northwest with their whole family. This limits the talents we can select, and more of them need to be cultivated by themselves.
But it takes a lot of time to train talents. We in Xiliang have only been established for less than eight years, and we only started to train talents in the sixth year. Now we can train some basic personnel, which is already very good.
If you want to train military generals, you have to rely on my lord to bring more new people. Military talents still need to be seen with your own eyes on the battlefield and experienced first-hand before you can understand them."
"We in Xiliang also have many talented children. Before, after their transfer, I have gathered those who are more talented and now they are sent to major armies to study. Maybe it won't take long, my lord.
We can obtain a group of low-level officers, and when they grow up, they can share your work and relieve your worries."
"It's too far!" Li Xiang thought for a moment and said, "Have we in the northwest sent invitations to the children of the Central Plains' aristocratic families?"
Although Li felt ashamed of the behavior of many children from aristocratic families, he had to admit that in this era, it was those children from aristocratic families who truly possessed real talents and learning.
The children of aristocratic families were the management class of the entire dynasty. Although there were many poor families in the Daqian Dynasty, it was the children of aristocratic families who really helped the emperor govern the entire world.
Therefore, Prime Minister Li wants to recruit some children from aristocratic families, and it would be best if he could be really thoughtful about some of the generals' children.
Although the Daqian Dynasty family was rotten, there were still many talented people amidst the rot, especially those generals who had learned various military techniques and read various military books since they were young.
No matter how poor their qualifications were, they were still much better than some illiterate civilians. He wanted to recruit these people and let them serve as commanders in the Xiliang headquarters army.
He was not at ease with the seventh, eighth, and ninth legions, but he was quite reassured by placing these people in the Xiliang headquarters legion.
The center of the Xiliang headquarters no longer needs to make any determinations. Put those generals into the Xiliang army. There is no need to worry that these people will lead a large army to resist him.
This is related to his next strategy.
He is no longer satisfied with the northwest and this area. The Daqian Dynasty has begun to resurrect and will take advantage of this period to work hard to occupy more territory.
Liangzhou and Bingzhou must be captured. At this time, Zhangye County in Liangzhou is already in his hands. The remaining places also need to be captured, and then he can advance to Bingzhou.
He has great ambitions. Since he calls himself the King of Xiliang, it is natural that all the land of Xiliang will be under his control.
Liangzhou and Bingzhou have a large number of cities, and there will be no large-scale legion operations like the attack on Zhangye County.
It is necessary to spread out the troops in hand, form a dense net, and capture all the cities, villages, and towns bit by bit. These will also be included in the attack.
What he needs is to firmly control all places in his hands, not just to control a major city in name, but even to include all the surrounding places in his hands.
Therefore, he needs a large number of commanders, Xiliang centurions and thousands of commanders, who are brave but not resourceful. There may not be much of a problem when fighting against the enemy on the battlefield, but once they enter the complex world of Liangzhou and Bingzhou,
place.
It is very likely that big problems will arise, such as being deceived by local people, or being ambushed by some sect forces.
At that time, they did not act like a large army, and the enemies would not be afraid of them, even if those enemies were much weaker than them in combat effectiveness.
Once something goes wrong, the army will be defeated, so he needs a large number of commanders, preferably those who are familiar with the kind of people in the local city.
After hearing Li Xiang's request, Li Yi thought for a moment and said, "Many aristocratic families sent us friendly messages, but my subordinates thought that the lord hated the children of the aristocratic families, so they did not reply to them, and just asked them to visit some places in Xiliang.
Wait, wait.
The subordinates have investigated the information about the children of those aristocratic families. They are all children of aristocratic families with innocent backgrounds. However, their status in their family is not very high, so they were sent to the northwest to see if they could enter Xiliang.
!
Many of them are descendants of generals, and most of them are descendants of some inherited aristocratic families!
Lord, if you have time, your subordinates can summon them to meet with you."
"There's no need to gather them together. You can tell me the general location of where they are, and I'll go and see it myself." Li Xiang stretched his neck and said, "It's been a long time since I've patrolled. Let's take this opportunity to take a good stroll."
Visit the great rivers and mountains in Xiliang."
"OK!"
....
Xuantian Sect Master left Xiliang with his men. They had completed their purpose. The remaining places belonged to Xiliang's territory and it was inconvenient for them to be present to clean up the battlefield.
After Xuantian Sect Master left, Li Xiang took Kasha and ran towards the prosperous land of Xiliang. The two of them only brought four guards. Anyway, there were very few people who could hurt them in this land.
If there really is someone who can defeat them, then no matter how many guards you have, it will be useless unless you have a large army with you.
Kasha finally came to the Mysterious World once, and Li Xiang insisted on taking her for a walk, so that she could see this world that was far more prosperous than the Dark World.
The northwest land was originally a poor place, but with the rise of Xiliang, the northwest land became more and more prosperous.
Villages were built in places where there were not many people in the first place. Because Xiliang encourages childbirth, you can see a large number of children in these villages, most of whom are three or four years old.
They are the first batch of children to enjoy preferential treatment in Xiliang. They will receive various supplies from Xiliang Yamen from birth, and their families will also receive more food because of their children.
The adults were working in the fields, and the children were happily playing on the edges of the fields. This scene made Kasha's eyes well up with tears.
From the time she was born to now, such scenes have only appeared in legends. She learned from the mouths of the old people that she had also imagined such scenes, but what she imagined in her mind was different from what she actually saw.
The rise of villages represents the utilization of Xiliang land. There are villages everywhere, with neatly arranged houses and black smoke rising from time to time.
The horse-drawn carriages passing by on neat roads, the sound of people passing through some towns, and the large towns that are gradually turning into county towns are even more crowded.
Most of these people came from the Central Plains. They were the first people to be transferred to these places by Xiliang. Here, they obtained land and new life.
The northwest land became prosperous because of them, and they were reborn because of the Xiliang land.
Xiliang is their ruler and also their protector.
In the streets and alleys you can see some police officers with broken arms and legs, or some hidden diseases, you can also call them security officers.
These people are all soldiers who retired due to injuries on the battlefield. After they retired, they continued to shine in the northwest.
Led by soldiers from the Xiliang headquarters, they are synonymous with safety in the local area. As long as they are there, the people will feel safe.
Kasha looked at his eyes with excitement, because there are also a large number of Xiliang soldiers in the Dark World. If the Xiliang soldiers can build such a city in the Dark World, then those civilians who are struggling in the Dark World, they
Will they live and work in peace and contentment like these people under the rule of Xiliang now?
Everyone is in a safe environment. They have enough food and clothing every day. They don’t have to worry about the demons in hell. They don’t have to worry about food problems all day long.
As long as you work hard, you can get enough food to feed your family.
She clearly saw that there was not a single beggar in these towns, cities, or even villages in Xiliang.
Even those who are physically disabled will get a job that is enough to support themselves.
"City Lord, I wonder what you think of those nobles in the dark world?" Kasha asked Li Xiang while riding on a Western horse.
"The nobles in your world are somewhat corrupt and ruthless. This is not unique to your world, it is the same in our world, but in our world, they are called aristocratic families.
The two sides are still very similar in nature. They suppress the advancement of civilians, stabilize the ruling class, and control a large amount of resources and power."
"Yes!" Although Kasha is not a civilian in the dark world, as the guardian of Rogge Camp, he and she have seen too many things: "They have established a set of rules, and only those who comply with the rules will be in their
Only after undergoing various tests can he become the dog beside them.
Before there were professionals, they were the rulers of the entire dark world. All civilians were worse than dogs in front of them, and they could not become dogs beside nobles even after a lifetime of hard work.
Life and death are not up to you!"
Kasha looked at Li Xiang and said: "City Lord, I won't beat around the bush anymore. You know I am a straight-tempered person, so I will speak out.
I hope you, Xiliang, can take over Camp Rogge. I think Camp Rogge and the first act are in your hands, and all the civilians will live as peacefully as these people under your rule!"
Kasha has lost confidence in the nobles. The big families in the dark world have not become weak due to the invasion of hell. Instead, they have continued to grow stronger over the years.
The family continues to grow, and at the same time it absorbs a large number of extremely talented professionals. They have grown into towering trees, and the common people have become their nutrients.
The civilians can only struggle in the hell invasion.
Kasha felt helpless towards such an environment, which was like a huge quagmire that could not be changed no matter how powerful she was.
So she would let Li Xiang rule in Act 1. Since they are all ruled, why didn't she choose a ruler who would make the lives of the common people better?
What Xiliang did in the first scene, any civilian felt the benefit they brought. The farmland opened up by Xiliang for them fed countless people.
