C791 Construction of the Occupied Region
C791 Construction of the Occupied Region
When they arrived at the cities after that, in the reports of the North Wei, it was said that the army of Qin Country was unmatched. The heavenly thunders and earthly fires were extremely ferocious. They had to fight until one soldier could defend the city before they could suffer defeat.
It was described as extremely tragic, and the process was also extremely arduous.
But in fact...
After the army of Qin Country arrived, the people in the town would come out first.
Then, they took off their coats and shouted at the army of Qin Country.
Then, they turned around and rushed towards the city gates!
Cooperating from inside and outside.
It was another rope ladder rolling rack, another one to support the city gate, and another one to fight with the defending troops...
Without needing the Qin army to do anything, a city could be considered to have opened its gates!
The remaining matters of the Qin army were to charge in and manage the order.
This was simply too easy.
Hence, the attack speed of Qin Country slowly decreased.
Because the main task had already become construction.
After getting a piece of land, they would build a piece of land.
They considered this place to be the territory of Qin Country.
The people of the North Wei started to treat themselves as citizens of Qin Country.
This was a true territory.
Not to mention that Xiao Huai'en still had Xiao Yun's secret force. They left the military camp and turned into lone bandits, purging some of the powers that were angry with the heavens and the people.
This was no different from angering the power of the powerful.
But at the same time, they couldn't bring out any evidence, and they didn't have the chance to make a move.
However, the people were obviously happy about this.
The entire process could be said to be taking one step at a time.
Of course, this also slowed down the speed of the attack.
However, it didn't matter. Xiao Huai'en no longer cared about speed.
When the army was only about two big cities away from Great Royal Court, about 500 kilometers away, the Great Royal Court sent an envoy.
This was the first time the Northern Wei had sent an emissary.
The emissary was only one person, and he had only brought a single document with him.
When the Qin Country's soldiers brought the emissary into the tent, they discovered that the emissary was a mute. He was also deaf and his ears were cut off. His tongue had also been cut off, and his rough fingers had a deep hunchback. This proved that he wasn't a scholar, and that he shouldn't even be able to read.
In fact, he only had one eye!
What kind of document was it that required such a person to deliver it?
Moreover, such a person could easily cause an accident on the road, causing the letter to disappear on the way.
All of this seemed extremely strange, and all of it pointed towards the document.
Without waiting for Xiao Huai'en to take a look, his subordinate first took the document over, then carefully looked at it, and even licked the paper on it with his tongue.
Wait! After an hour, he passed the document to Xiao Huai'en.
Xiao Huai'en sighed and glared at the guard.
The guard giggled and scratched his head.
Only then did Xiao Huai'en read the letter.
There was only one sentence on the letter.
"The teachings of the ancient saints, everyone under the heavens is equal."
Xiao Huai'en was obviously stunned for a moment.
Then, he squinted his eyes and walked out of the tent with the letter in his hand.
After walking around the tent twice, he suddenly threw the letter into the fire and watched it burn and turn into ashes.
He then sighed and smiled bitterly.
He waved his hand and said, "The next city will be the destination."
This was an order.
It was quickly passed down.
The soldiers were shocked.
After all, this was not the end of the road, nor was it the limit of this army's combat strength.
They could still do a lot of things.
Including... rushing to the peak.
Making the whole world tremble!
They even began to doubt it.
Was it because their general wanted to lead them to war for the rest of their lives?
Now, it was the North Wei, and it might be the Sun Moon Country in the future.
Or perhaps there were other effects.
He could destroy everything in his path.
At the very least, they should have taken down the North Wei.
But what was the result?
He stopped directly?
The current situation was that as long as they went over, this country would probably be able to take over.
The soldiers naturally did not understand what was called a conflict of interest in the core region. Naturally, they did not know that it was very easy to occupy all the places. But if it really touched the fundamental interests of some interest groups, then no matter what kind of action it was, they would receive an unimaginably powerful counterattack.
It had to stop.
Now was a good opportunity.
Sure enough, after another big city, Xiao Huai'en stopped.
But he didn't immediately turn back.
If he left now, the result of his previous victory would disappear immediately.
As long as the Northern Wei counterattacked and the civilians found out that the army of Qin Country had retreated, they would realize that they had been betrayed and abandoned. That feeling would turn into hatred.
Originally, the hatred between the two countries was very strong.
Which family had not shed blood on the battlefield?
If this was added to the equation, it would only make things more and more complicated.
So now, the most important thing was the construction of the border.
The border was the consensus of the two countries.
Now, it was obvious that the North Wei would not give you such a consensus.
To say that the size of his territory suddenly became so small, this was to be written in history. Even the king would be slandered by later generations.
How can he acknowledge it?
Then there was only one way, and that was to force the border.
This required the construction of defensive fortifications, so that the people of the North Wei would not be able to attack.
Xiao Huai'en used two days to flip through a small booklet that was kept close to him in the headquarters tent.
There were some things that Xiao Yun had told him, but he had said too much and could not remember them in a short period of time. Therefore, there were many other things that were written in this small booklet.
If he encountered the corresponding problem, he could just go up and check.
After understanding the process that needed to be done, Xiao Huai'en came out from inside and began to assign tasks.
First was to draw the line.
It was best to have mountains and rivers at the border, so that it could form a natural barrier.
And this city just happened to meet these two conditions.
Firstly, there was a great river that practically ran through the entire North Wei, and at the banks of the river, there were some places with few people, and there were even mountains and lofty ridges.
One had to choose some regions to establish a complete defensive stronghold, and then establish a beacon of fire. If one side was attacked, then the other areas would immediately receive news and provide a response.
This was the most traditional method.
At the same time, they needed to build a fortress.
It had to be related to the card.
The checkpoint was like a door to a house.
It was a window.
There had to be a window. Mosquitoes and the like would definitely come in.
But it didn't matter!
After all, it was very difficult for mosquitoes to cause too much damage.
But the door must be guarded.
If the door was broken, not only could wild beasts come in, but also bad people could easily come in.
This door had to be built first, then guarded.
How to build it?
Xiao Huai'en immediately ordered people to calculate the population of these occupied territories, and let them investigate how many people had nothing to do, and how many people lacked land. Even if they tried their best, they would not be able to eat.
Find them all!
There were some who were more hardworking, and they could recruit a whole family with a single move. He asked them all to come over.
Give them food, pay them money, and ensure their safety as much as possible. They even promised that if they died, there would be a very high pension.
The citizens' thoughts were very direct.
They didn't want to use their own lives to exchange for a pension.
They felt that as long as this matter was reliable, they would not die! After all, who would spend so much money to buy their own lives?
In this world, life was the least valuable!
Thus, their suspicions were shifted from the danger of the project to whether the compensation was real or not, and whether or not they were deceiving them.
As for the pension, Xiao Huai'en still had an absolute guarantee of his reputation. It was an existence akin to a trump card.
Gold Hidden Pavilion!
A pension document was given to everyone who came to work. If they died because of work, the document would immediately take effect.
No one doubted the Gold Hidden Pavilion.
After all, people had to believe in something.
Compared to the Northern Wei who had abandoned them long ago, the Gold Hidden Pavilion was definitely more trustworthy.
Therefore, in those areas that were occupied, from every place, countless people would bring their families and migrate to the border every day.
Next to them, the embryonic form of cities appeared one after another.
Construction resources and supply goods were also transported from various areas.
Xiao Huai'en was not afraid of spending more money here.
After all, the Gold Hidden Pavilion had already made a lot of money in the occupied regions!
Those places were filled with people, and people needed to spend money. People would create value and have value. They could always use their own value to exchange for their right to spend money. Thus, the economy naturally started to circulate without anyone noticing.
As long as it circulated, the Gold Hidden Pavilion would make money.
Make big money!
