Another two or three days passed.
Today, all the people who transported supplies returned to the fort.
The miners who had previously worked at the Fuyang Mine also returned together with the people in charge of Fuyang County.
The thirteen county towns finally announced that all the relocation was completed.
In addition to the underground palace and the fort warehouse, the two military camps in the county town and more than a dozen vacant workshops were all filled with supplies. There were so many things that it was dizzying. The remaining bedding, ready-made clothes, cloth, etc. alone occupied several large warehouses.
Ling County seat.
Cart after cart of military supplies and food were escorted into the military camp for temporary storage.
Cookie was standing at the entrance of the military camp, counting the supplies accompanying the army with the two commanders.
Wei Mingyuan had just entered the city. He looked at the carts of food and fodder and strode towards the three people at the door.
Cookie waved at him and said, "General Wei, you've arrived just in time. There are 800 ordinary small black balls and 300 large black balls. The girl wants only 100 of each, and the general can take the rest to Guangping County."
Wei Mingyuan was silent for a moment, "Only one hundred each? Isn't that too little?" The clan leader had already informed him that his niece was going to Kyoto.
Cookie smiled slightly upon hearing this, a smile that was a little gritted, "It's okay, the girl also told me to speed up the production, and when she returns from Hejian County, she will come back to pick up another batch."
The girl even jokingly called him a 'cash machine'. Although Cookie didn't know what 'cash machine' meant, he guessed it wasn't a compliment to him.
Now the gunpowder workshop is no longer closed, and a new group of people have been recruited, led by the Feng brothers, who work in two shifts, day and night, and produce gunpowder non-stop all day long.
After all this time, I finally managed to get so much, but in the blink of an eye, the powder magazine is empty again...
Cookie had no desire to live. Thinking about the 1,750 little black balls he still owed Zhongshan Kingdom, he felt extremely uncomfortable every day and his life was worse than death.
"In addition, Ting Langjun has prepared weapons, including one thousand fire chariots, nearly 50,000 arrows, three thousand crossbows that can equip three thousand archers, and another one thousand combat crossbow chariots." Chang Ying said.
There are also a batch of hemp rope nets and barbed wire nets used to deal with mutated zombies and for nighttime defense.
The journey to Guangping is long, and it is different from clearing zombies in the past.
The girl is determined to recapture Yizhou, and if negotiations fail, war may begin at any time.
Whether it is the Zhao family of Hejian or the Yizhou army, with these equipment configurations, even if they refuse to surrender, they can all be defeated.
Chang Ying added silently, "Mr. Chu also sent a batch of poisons, saying it's for emergency use."
Wei Mingyuan nodded slightly, "Okay, I'll go find General Chen and integrate the army."
Almost all the troops who contributed to this mission were from Zhongshan Army.
The Wei family only sent out one thousand Wei family soldiers, and another two hundred soldiers were there to protect the girl's safety. They would return with the girl and would not participate in the Guangping affairs.
The remaining 2,000 Wei family soldiers took over the garrison affairs in Ling County.
The Wei family's troops followed Chang Ying to prepare another batch of supplies and conduct training. They were just waiting for the girl to return from Hejian County and then rush to Kyoto immediately.
Chang Ying has already decided on the candidates. All those with families will stay in the fort, and the rest will be selected according to their personal wishes. In the end, two thousand people were selected, and more than seven hundred people were left to guard the fort.
At the gate of the military camp on the other side of the city.
A huge crowd of people.
The Zhongshan Army was queuing up to receive winter clothing and new weapons modified for them by the arsenal.
The weapons were still the same ones they were used to, but Wei Ting had reforged them with steel, making the blades sharper.
General Chen stood aside and watched with a complicated expression. When he saw Wei Mingyuan coming over, the two of them greeted each other and then walked into a small room next to the military camp to talk in detail.
………
And outside.
The two hundred soldiers stationed at the mine finally returned to the fort after more than two months.
When they left, the Wei family army had not yet returned, the border wall had just begun to be built, and the population of the fortress was only a few thousand.
Just over two months.
Ling County has undergone earth-shaking changes.
Wang Tie and his subordinates stared in amazement at the familiar yet unfamiliar territory.
The original boundary marker was replaced by a towering wall. After entering the border, people and the military were everywhere...
Cartloads of supplies were transported to Ling County under the orders of the border guards. Busy and hurried troops were escorting the food and fodder along the way, and the two sides blocked the official road.
Wang Tie and others followed the crowd in a daze.
When they passed by Shilin Village, they saw several unfamiliar armies, and again, trucks of vehicles made of countless small wooden boxes were rushing to the county town...
Among the two hundred soldiers, only a few looked relatively calm.
They often escorted civilians back home and occasionally helped pass messages. They were no longer surprised by the changes in Ling County.
Wang Tie stammered, "Are we in the right place? Is this still Ling County?"
"We're not wrong, we're in Ling County." Someone behind him kindly explained to him.
After digging in the mountains for more than two months, I guess he must have gone stupid.
You actually asked such a stupid question.
Wang Tie's face was filled with enlightenment, "This girl is amazing!"
The group returned to the dock and were shocked again.
The neatly-built earthen houses within the walls are full of life.
Recently, every household has been drying their quilts. Since the yard is not spacious enough, many people simply hang them outside.
Looking around... it was all bedding.
Some wealthier families even used their grain to exchange for some cheap coarse cloth from the cloth shop in the county town, and sewed their own quilt covers, which they then hung outside after washing.
Those who went out to work chatted and laughed.
There are not many fields planted with crops in the summer, and they have all been harvested. The farmland has officially become privately owned, and everyone is discussing what to plant on the allocated land.
"All permanent farmland must be used to grow food according to the requirements. If there is not enough food for the large family, then the land allocated to the family should also be used to grow food."
"You can grow sunflowers. They grow quickly, and if you can't finish eating them, you can sell them."
"I still want to grow crops. I have children at home and I'm worried that there won't be enough food. I've already discussed it with my neighbors across the street. We two families will plant some beans in our yards. We'll plant on the left side of the yard, and they'll plant on the right..."
"Is this even possible?!" The person next to him suddenly realized, "Then I have to go back and talk to the family across the street about using their yard to grow vegetables. We can build a shed together, and maybe we can eat vegetables in the winter."
Wang Tie pricked up his ears and eavesdropped, without moving for a long time.
His ten subordinates followed behind him, touched his arm with their hands, and asked in a low voice: "Captain, do we have it too?"
Everyone looked at him expectantly.
Wang Tie came back to his senses and coughed lightly, "Should... there be?"
Some of his subordinates have families, but he is alone and has no time to farm even if he is given land.
By the way, when will the girl be able to assign him a wife?
