Chapter 1000 Shacheng
On the morning of April 22, the fifth year of Tianxuan, Mo Yangqiao, Yan Liang, and Wen Chou led 5,000 fourth-order light cavalry and headed straight for the border of the Marquis of Monar.
Of course, in the backpacks of these three heroes, there are already recruitment coupons that can recruit a total of 500,000 troops, including 400,000 third-tier fighters, 60,000 fourth-tier fighters, and 40,000 fifth-tier fighters.
Although the three heroes all believe that the fifth-level priest and other auxiliary high-level fighters are unnecessary, Qu Mao has not reduced it.
1.5 million troops were added, but the consumption of cheating points did not exceed 10 million points, which made Qu Mao feel indifferent.
With the construction of a large number of new towns in the Kingdom of Jili, Napoleon, Gillette and Moner, Qumao will inevitably gain a large amount of cheating points again. There is no need for the Mughal Empire to officially declare war. Click to save cheating value.
On the morning of April 22nd in the fifth year of Tianxuan, not long after Mo Yangqiao, Yan Liang and Wenchou left, Qu Mao and Su Yan, under the **** of 1,000 fifth-tier heavy cavalry, headed towards the desert in the northwest region of the Marquis of Gillette. Go to the edge.
Qu Mao and Su Yan have already chosen this place to build a town and 8 villages. Since building a town on the edge of the desert is different from building a group of towns in a normal place, Qu Mao and Su Yan need to come and see for themselves.
When Qu Mao and Su Yan arrived at the Shacheng construction site, 1,000 craftsmen mobilized from Bertier Hou and Wang Zhanhou had arrived here under the **** of 5,000 fourth-tier light cavalry, and were building a simple temporary camp.
After Qu Mao and Su Yan arrived, they asked 1,000 Tier 5 heavy cavalry and 5,000 Tier 4 light cavalry to join forces for defense and protection. Qu Mao and Su Yan were to take charge of the proposed construction area of Shacheng and the construction of villages within three kilometers of the surrounding area. Survey all the topography.
It is very difficult to build towns on the edge of the desert. The water source and materials are very serious problems, and the temperature difference between day and night is large, and there are occasional wind and sand disturbances.
Fortunately, after inspecting around, Qu Mao found that there was no water source at all. At least 2 kilometers southeast of Shacheng, there was still a small stream 20 cm deep and no more than 1 meter wide coming from the northeast. It turned to the southeast again.
Although the water flow is extremely scarce, it seems that there is a possibility of cutting off anytime and anywhere, and this fresh water alone is definitely not enough to support the construction of Shazhen and its surrounding villages, but it is better than no water source at all.
Qu Mao called the leader of the fourth-order light cavalry to guard the Shacheng construction site, and asked the leader to find 100 craftsmen to go to the creek, and then Qu Mao took out the blueprint of the Shacheng construction plan and began to modify it.
The first thing to modify is to extend the position of the village near the southeast corner to the northeast by 800 meters among the eight villages guarding the sand city, so that this small stream can be wrapped between the village and the sand city.
Soon, 100 craftsmen came to Qu Mao. Qu Mao chose a place 5 meters away from the creek on the side of the creek near Shacheng. Dig wells.
At the same time, Qu Mao also asked the leader of the fourth-tier light cavalry: "What's the current situation at the Shacheng construction site? Are the managers in charge of the Shacheng construction in place?"
The team leader replied: "My lord, the craftsmen who have arrived at the Shacheng construction site are craftsmen from the Bertier and Wang Zhanhou kingdoms. The Shangguan's order is to take these craftsmen to make construction preparations first.
Tomorrow morning, 500 craftsmen and 2,500 fourth-tier light cavalry troops from the Abyss Kingdom will arrive; around the afternoon of the day after tomorrow, 2,000 craftsmen and 5,000 guard troops recruited from the Tassel Principality will arrive.
The subordinate received the order that after the first batch of immigrants from the Holy Land arrived at the end of April in the fifth year of Tianxuan, the subordinate would lead the troops under his command to return to the King's City of Gillette. "
Qu Mao nodded and said, "Your task is only to guard until the end of April, so have you heard about the number of the first batch of immigrants in the Holy Land?"
The team leader saluted respectfully, and said: "My lord, in order to facilitate the inspection of the subordinates, the superior has already informed the number of the first batch of immigrants.
The first batch of immigrants from the Holy Land is expected to arrive at 1:00 noon on April 29th in the fifth year of Tianxuan. They are mainly 10,000 households with a total of more than 40,000 people who migrated from outlying islands.
Please rest assured, before the arrival of more than 40,000 people, the artisans will build houses for them. "
Qu Mao nodded and said, "Well, in fact, ordinary residents move their families with them, so there is no need to hurry on the road..." Thinking that it would be useless to tell the leader about these words, Qu Mao waved his hand to let the leader go to work Talk about your own affairs, but talk to Su Yan.
After a busy morning, 100 craftsmen dug ten wells. The deepest one has been dug to 20 meters deep, and the shallowest one has been dug to 15 meters, but there is no water.
Because the wells are drilled on the edge of the desert, the wellheads are very large. For wells with a depth of 20 meters, the diameter of the top wellhead is almost 20 meters.
Seeing that the sand around the well was still falling down, Qu Mao had no choice but to call up all 100 craftsmen, and looked at the ground full of holes that had been dug in an area of 100 meters square.
Qu Mao immediately took out a pen and paper, made a sketch, and took out the bamboo in his backpack from the time when the holy land of Yihou Territory was still in the virgin forest, and asked 100 craftsmen to make dams with bamboo and wood boards. The 100-meter-square area was excavated into a reservoir. After all, there were 10 deep dry wells as the bottom.
The leader of the fourth-tier light cavalry saw Qu Mao’s clear request, and immediately organized 500 fourth-tier light cavalry to get off their horses and unload their equipment to help with the excavation.
Afterwards, Qu Mao returned to the construction site of Shacheng City, and used the on-duty construction to build a 1.5-kilometer-long five-tiered city wall, which was more or less able to withstand some night-time wind and sand.
Then in the planning and construction area, the on-duty construction was used to prioritize the construction of material warehouses and granaries. With these two buildings, the basic logistics can be guaranteed.
Back to the creek, a 100-meter-long, 3-meter-deep reservoir has already been dug, and 10 places may be deeper.
Subsequently, Qu Mao asked the craftsmen to dig a small ditch 30 cm wide and 10 cm deep to divert water from the creek. Qu Mao was worried that the creek would stop flowing if it was dug too deep.
As for such a trickle, when will it be able to fill the huge reservoir, Qu Mao has not considered.
Changing the blueprint of the sand city construction plan again, Qu Mao said to Su Yan: "Su Yan, I'm afraid I have to contact Liandao Lulin Town to provide some plant seedlings to plant trees to prevent sand, even if the purpose of building the sand city is to mine sand and excavate iron. mine.
Early tomorrow morning, the two of us have to go to the Marquis of Moner to have a look. "
Su Yan nodded, and said: "Shacheng Construction's subordinates will arrange to go to the Monel Marquis, and the subordinates should go with you."
