Law of the Devil Chapter 204: [Secret City]
Chapter 204 [Secret City]
Time flies. Two months pass. The winter snow has disappeared. Although the wind in the northwest still has a stinging chill, in some places, the spring is still gradually revealed. The more flexible water and the tender shoots on the toes have clearly told people to leave in winter.
Although the northwest is a bitter cold place, spring is arguably the best season of the day, although it is short.
Most of the migrating work for the City of Miracles has been completed, and the number of people who have officially moved into the new city has reached 100,000. The original city of Giliat was almost gone.
The new capital city is located on the shore of Loulan Lake, which has fertile land rarely seen in the whole northwest, and it is located near the main waterway. It is closer to the water source. The city is even more vibrant.
The department responsible for population migration has a long queue almost every day. People from all over Desa province, even if they do n’t plan to actually move, they will choose to come and see after the ice and snow melting road is clear. Look at this Xiongcheng built in a few months!
Ten miles away from Loulan City, a new barracks has been established, and the tulip family of the 1st Infantry Division of Dewey has been formed. This 20,000-strong army is based on the 4,000 rebels. For the skeleton, a batch of recruits were added, and later, in order to solve the problem of the source of troops, Du Wei again sent people to Big Ear City, bought the command of the Viedro, several months before and after, He also brought in more than 2,000 prisoners, although Viedro was frustrated in officialdom. But in Big Ear City, he still has absolute authority. For these prisoners, he only needs to make two random strokes on the list, and only says that he died of illness or exhaustion on the way to death. In the end, because the number of more than two thousand people was inevitably too big, Vidello simply reported that a plague had occurred in Big Ear City, and anyone who sold it to Dewey simply used the name of the dead in the plague.
A place like Big Ear City. The above will not care, and I heard that there is a plague, who would be willing to go to that kind of place to check? Biedero became even more daring, and even a group of prisoners who were about to come this spring is still on the way to escrow. Before they arrived in Daer City, they had been "pre-sold" to Dewey.
For these prisoners, Dewey promised to serve them for three years. After three years, they will be given a free body, and if they are credited, they will be rewarded with land! Anyway, the northwestern province of Desa is sparsely populated, but the land is very large. Those prisoners can get their own land as long as they have a glimmer of freedom, although the land in the northwest is mostly barren. But after all, it is real land!
Now in Dewey's First Division of the Tulip Family, there are 4,000 rebels, plus 2,000 prisoners, and more than 10,000 recruits. Which counts. Except for the four thousand rebels who were originally regular trumps, the combat power of those two thousand prisoners was even higher than the ordinary recruiting!
This is also natural. After all, Du Wei spent money to choose the most powerful young people in Daer City, and most of the backgrounds have been checked. Ghost places are mostly without background. People with background have been rescued long ago.)
As Du Wei said, these prisoners, already desperate, were really willing to do their best to catch them after seeing a glimmer of hope! So during training, these people are exceptionally willing to suffer. In just half a year, it has been quite a bit. Even from the point of view of Robert Knight, it is believed that these people have not yet reached the combat effectiveness of the main empire of the Empire. But it's better than those ordinary local defense forces. Not much worse.
In the past few months, the General Dodoro of the Northwest Army sent two more people for money. For the first time, Du Wei again used a "dragging" trick to get the other side out, and the second time, when the other side came back, his attitude was much tougher. Dewey considers that he has not yet had the capital to turn his face with the Northwest Army, and that is immediately the annual spring exercise of the Imperial Army. The Northwest Army will mobilize on a large scale, and he has to be prepared. In the end, he simply compromised, spent money to buy a peace, and paid 50,000 gold coins for military expenses. This sent those guys from the Northwest Army away.
Compared with a complete infantry division already formed, the number of cavalry is much smaller. After all, good cavalry is more difficult to train than infantry. Although the Northwest is a popular country, Longbottom's selection criteria for his subordinates are extremely strict. To the present position, Dewey also has only a 3,000-man ground cavalry regiment, half of whom are still under the command of the old soldiers and half of the recruits.
However, Long Barton's strict training on those recruits can not help but sigh. In addition, Longbatton assured Dewey that although there were only 3,000 cavalry, after the ill-treatment of Longbatton to them, the combat effectiveness of these 3,000 men could barely be aligned with the cavalry of the Imperial Imperial Army.
In fact, at the beginning, Longbottom convened a total of nearly 5,000 people, but this guy's training was so rigorous that many people could not persist until the end, and some people failed to meet Longbottom's requirements. Kicked him out. And later, Long Barton actually took these thousands of people out on a light trip and didn't know what his **** was doing secretly. He didn't come back until January, and the number was smaller.
Du Wei only knew after asking, Long Barton actually took these people out of the "combat"! According to Longbatton, "I have n’t done it with real swords and guns. I have n’t seen any soldiers with blood. No matter how I train! Because I ’m not trained in military camps. Some brave guys are usually on the battlefield. Urine pants, some people who look ordinary on the weekdays, but they can become excellent soldiers on the battlefield! "
So Longbarton took these thousands of people on a light tour without any heavy weight, only a few days of dry food, along the Qi Ma Ma mountain all the way to the northwest, crossed the territory of the Desa province, and entered the northwest The corridor, running all the way to the desert outside the corridor, had a few games with a few small horse thieves. Let these recruits get some real combat experience.
Sure enough, when they returned, the temperament of these recruits was greatly different, and everyone seemed to have faded from their original greenness, exposing a little bit of blood that had been bathed in blood.
Longbatten's troops are harsh, but they are absolutely good to their men. After they returned to the city of miracles, Longbatton took the respect of a general, but took a group to the brothel. There were a few games in the middle, and it made Dadanil, the first defending chief of the new capital, a headache. However, Dewey explained that as long as things were not unusual, he tried to leave the two hundred and fifty generals as good as possible.
In the early hours of the morning, a horse-drawn carriage ran on the road to Loulandi, the new capital. Around a dozen cavalry guards were around the carriage, skilled in controlling the war horse, and everyone looked serious.
Du Wei is sitting in this carriage with the tulip badge. He received news last night. Quickly set off early and rushed to Loulan New City.
Duke's Duke's Mansion has been relocated to the new capital. The new Duke's Mansion in the new capital, which is modeled after the Rolling Castle, has become the new home of Dewey. However, these days, Dewey has remained in the abandoned city of Gilliard.
Gilliard, in this abandoned city. The original population has completely migrated! Dewey did not let the empty city end in the end. He even spent some manpower and material resources to repair the surrounding city walls and rebuild the originally collapsed part.
In Dewey's opinion, the city of Gilliard is extremely unqualified. Because it is remote, backed by the Kilimaro Mountains, it cannot cover the entire Desa province. But this remote city has other functions for Dewey!
As early as a month ago, after the last residents moved out, Du Wei ordered the entire city to be sealed off, and then built in the city!
Because, in Dewey's plan. This geographically remote and extremely safe city will be his best backup production base!
Of course, this is not the place to produce ordinary weapons. The Northwest Territory has no minerals and lacks iron ore, making Dewey unable to make weapons on a large scale here. But ... Dewey has many other things to make! Some are reluctant to be exposed for the time being. Unseen secret weapon!
Also. What could be more suitable as a production plant than an empty city?
Girial is broken again, after all, it is also a city! All living alms are extremely complete. The wall repaired on the outside is the best defense. As long as the wall is guarded, no spy or spy agent wants to go in and out!
People in the city do n’t need to go in and out. The city has perfect living facilities, wells, housing, and even Du Wei has opened up an open space to serve as farmland. Fully self-sufficient! Fully closed production is enough to meet the requirements of confidentiality!
And this abandoned city, now a production base, Dewey completely handed over two magical invention geniuses, Solskjaer and Seth.
Thousands of slaves were bought from Daer City, including men and women, old and young. Du Wei had only one promise to these people: after five years in the city, he was free! And after being free, you can get your own land!
These people have changed from being slaves and becoming workers in the production base at Dewey.
To the panic and surprise of these workers, these people thought that waiting for themselves would be extremely heavy labor ... Many prisoners died in this heavy labor. But in this production base in Gilliard, the work is far less hard than expected!
They even have very comfortable accommodations (the residents who had been relocated, leaving large expanses of empty houses.), with delicious and adequate food. Even Du Wei ordered that after getting up every morning, these people can rest until work and sunset, and can rest for a period of time at noon every day.
And the content of the work is not too heavy, just a little weird ... In several built workshops in the city, they follow the orders of Lord Solskjaer, and they bring a lot of medicinal materials and powders they do n’t know Merged together, and then produced in large quantities ...
Of course, these people don't know that the things made with various unknown pharmaceutical powders are Solskjaer's largest invention of the "magic fire element", which is the kind of gunpowder that Du Wei relies on.
The people managed by Master Set are even more weird. They have opened up a field in the city and planted various trees, and Master Set has taught them how to graft and plant ... Some skilled people selected from the prisoners will do their best to do the next process ... carving!
In this production base, the regulations are not too strict, and there is a guarantee of food and rest, but Du Wei only issued a strict order: no one can leave the city!
Since this time, only one guy who did n’t know the life and death wanted to run away secretly, but was arrested by the soldiers before reaching the gate of the city. Then Du Wei broke his heart and broke his two legs in public.
"I can give you hope ... but you can take your life at any time!" Du Wei announced to these people: "So, in five years, you better keep this in mind!"
Du Wei had to leave the production base early this morning because he received news that the brother and sister of the Marquise of Liszt have entered the province of Desa. According to the news passed all the way, they will be today Arrive at Miracle City at night.
Given the good relations with the Liszt family, Du Wei, the owner of the Desa province, certainly has to rush back to greet him.
Especially, he was still curious about the sister Marquis Liszt wanted to seduce himself ...
