Law of the Devil Chapter 199: [City of Miracles]
Chapter 199 [City of Miracles]
Dewey's almost crazy decision shocked everyone. However, everyone knows that this young duke is definitely not kidding. Maybe he's crazy, but it's definitely not a joke!
Due to these days, Dewey mobilized almost all his forces.
The 4,000 infantry originally under Robert's command have been stationed in a military barracks outside the city of Gilliard. The problem now facing Dewey is that the stock of weapons and equipment can only arm a thousand soldiers.
Damn Governor Borhan, when his people evacuated, he searched too hard, and even the basic weapons and equipment were exhausted. Du Wei took a look at the equipment in the warehouse, and many of them were rusted. Barely put together 800 sets out, let 800 soldiers arm up first ...
The remaining 3,000 people can only be trained with bare hands.
Fortunately, Du Wei had already made some plans before he came to the Northwest. He immediately sent people to attack in all directions, traveling almost all over the Northwest, buying all the needed building materials.
And in the Treasury of the capital, Gilliard, to Tove ’s surprise, there are still a lot of building materials available here. Obviously, the previous government also realized that this dilapidated city is really out of repair and ready A batch of materials, but the lack of funding, made this plan put on hold indefinitely.
Of course, Du Wei smiled and accepted these things.
After he assigned a series of tasks to his subordinates, he hid himself in the dilapidated Governor's Mansion, closed the door, and did not know what he was doing. Only occasionally Du Wei would call some artisans, but their conversations were strictly kept secret.
The time soon passed more than half a month, and in this half a month, Mard almost broke his leg with a group of servants. I spent a lot of gold coins, bought countless materials, wood, clay tiles, etc .. But everyone was surprised that there was no food purchase.
General Longbottom wrote a letter, then asked a few people to copy it, and he didn't know how many copies, and then sent people around.
In fact, the content of each letter is exactly the same:
"I'm back to the northwest, and I'm willing to do it with Lao Tzu. Hurry and report to Gilliard City!"
The signature below is a weird figure.
General Longbottom is calling his old ministry. Soon, in less than a month, there were more than a thousand people in the barracks outside the city. These more than a thousand people were the cavalry cavalry that had crossed the northwest with General Longbottom. After these veterans retired, most of them went home to work as farmers, tailors, blacksmiths, or even small workers.
A month later, 5,000 sets of infantry armor and equipment. There are also armored weapons that can equip two thousand cavalry. In this matter, the empire's most famous rich man, De Lanshan Warcraft, helped a lot. This big businessman manages a lot of weapons and has a lot of relations with the military. These weapons that Dewey bought in his hands are all configured according to the first-class standards of the Imperial Army Corps. There are also military crossbows. Longbow and much more.
This time, hundreds of thousands of gold coins were spent by Dewey. The army is really a bottomless pit that burns money.
Relying on Long Barton's relationship in the Northwest Territories, I purchased thousands of finer horses. As a result, Dewey currently has four thousand infantry and one thousand cavalry. Finally no need to hold a burning stick. Everyone is armed.
Long Barton practiced his old ministry for a few days. These guys were washed away from the dust and regained their military appearance. In the barracks outside the city, I heard General Lombarton's loud voice every morning:
"It ’s all up for me! Boys! Put on your gear and ride your horse, and we are training! If anyone falls behind today, I will punish him to wash the boots for everyone!"
No one knows how this general exercises his old ministry, only he knows that he will call them up every morning. Then all of them rode out and would not return until evening. Sometimes it is two or three days after going out.
It's just that every time these guys come back, they're half-tired. They're all gray, as if they were fished out of a quagmire.
It is not difficult for disciples under the Blue Ocean, such as Philip, to control the administrative department of the province of Desa in the shortest time. In fact, such a poor area. There is really not much daily administrative work to do.
Everyone is busy. Even Hussein had no time to rest, and Du Wei dyed his hair blue with a special potion. And blinded by one eye, the Paladin wore an eye patch on his face. In this way, I believe that in this place in the northwest, no one can recognize the biggest wanted man in this temple.
Fortunately for Dewey, probably in a barren area like Desa province, the temple is not worthy of attention, so there are only two religious places in Desa province, and they are close to Nulin province. .
The Cavaliers are very busy. Not only did Dewey give the 4,000 rebels to his command, but he also had no way to recruit recruits. There were too few and too few people in Dewey.
This place in the northwest is protected by folk customs, but it is a strong military area. Unfortunately, it has a sparse population and only recruits 3,000 people a month. Robert Cavaliers has compiled a reserve infantry regiment and mobilized several of his men daily practice.
Hussein was also a great candidate for Dewey to help Robert Cavaliers train. Hussein was originally a big knight captain of the Holy Knights. Those who can lead the Holy Knights and practice the recruits should have no problem. Of course, Hussein trained cavalry, which was not too difficult. Because in this place in the northwest, although barren, almost every family has one or two stallions, and children can ride horses.
Soon, the barracks outside the city became hot.
When the second month came, everyone began to wonder if the Lord Duvey was really crazy.
He said that the new city will be built for three months, but now one month has passed, but he has been hiding in the Governor's House all day.
A large number of building materials have been transported to the address of the selected new city by Loulan Lake. There used to be a small town with less than a thousand people, and now a large amount of goods are piled up there. Du Wei thought of many ways, pulling the five hundred Royal Forest soldiers and letting them serve as a guard to guard those supplies by the Loulan Lake. These Yu Linjun have been a little dissatisfied. This place in the northwest is really unbearable for them. Everyone hopes to return to the flowery world of Didu as soon as possible.
Fortunately, Du Wei finally did not let everyone wait any longer.
On the fifth day of the second month, he finally walked out of the Governor's Mansion. Everyone found that the duke's originally thin body seemed to be thinner, his face was a little pale, his eyes were red, and his face was tired. But Du Wei's spirit was good.
"Gentlemen. Remember today, because starting today, you will witness a miracle with your own eyes!"
In the early morning, all the residents in that small town by the Loulan Lake were summoned, and the place was on the farmland outside the town.
This place in the northwest is barren, but by the shore of Loulan Lake, this place is near water. The land is pretty good. Grain production is also considered to be relatively high in the northwest.
Du Wei announced an order to thousands of residents in the town, he needs some people who can do farm work, the more the better!
"Just plant it for me, and collect it for me! It's that simple." Du Wei's order was clear: "And what are your remuneration ... all those who work, how much food you harvest. You can get it. Go one-tenth. "
This weird order surprised everyone present.
Who can't do farm work? After all, these villages and towns are farmers, and even women can do farm work.
All the seeds distributed to him were planted into the land in accordance with Lord Dewey's order. It took everyone two days.
At the beginning, everyone was waiting to see the joke ... Is this aristocratic master an idiot? Planting this season now? Still, he has too much food. Was it a waste of play?
But soon, everyone can't laugh.
In the early morning of the third day, Dewey appeared in his magician robe, and then he carefully lifted a dozen barrels of water. Then he looked carefully at the weight and found one from his arms. Bottle, a few drops of liquid in a bucket of water.
Du Wei begins to cast magic.
The magic he performs is not complicated, just a water magic that any intermediate magician can do.
After he finished the spell. Everyone can see above the head of this noble man, a vortex of vortex air quickly appeared between his hands, and the vortex air with infinite suction sucked all these dozen barrels of water clean. Looking at a dozen water columns soaring into the sky, the air flow over his head became more and more turbulent. After Du Wei chanted a few spells, the wind rose ...
The vortex gradually formed a rain cloud with a small area, and then the dark cloud floated over the farmland under the command of Du Wei ...
The sun takes the lead. May be fine raindrops. But it's already under the dark clouds ...
The drizzle fell silently and evenly on the farmland, from south to north. From east to west. After the clouds and rains closed, in the shocked eyes of everyone ...
In the original bare farmland, the young buds in the land struggled out, and then grew at a speed that was visible to the naked eye!
Within half a tea field, the original bare fields are already full of crops!
Seeing this miracle, countless ignorant farmers have begun to pray aloud, and more people are kneeling on the ground and looking up at the sky, calling out God's name with excitement.
"What are you waiting for! It's time to harvest the grain! No matter how much you harvest, you can get one-tenth of the fruits of your labor."
Due to the order of Du Wei, thousands of farmers almost waved sickle like crazy and rushed to the field ...
This scene has been repeated for fifteen days! And every day, Du Wei can make the farmer in the farmland grow two or three times repeatedly!
For a long time, everyone can't afford it! The grain in those farmlands grew like crazy. After a few days of mad harvesting, many people were tired. Du Wei immediately sent the 1,000 recruits to bring in labor.
Then what happened was even more bizarre. The sickle was not enough, the recruits simply took out their swords to harvest, and finally all the silos were full. The food that cannot be put can only be open to each other in the town.
Looking at the increasing pile of food, everyone wonders if they are crazy. Or dreaming. But the soreness in the waist and legs made everyone sober.
From then on, the eyes of these people looking at Dewey were almost the same as looking at the gods!
Fifteen days, this farm on the shore of Loulan Lake repeatedly harvested countless times. The large amount of food made the huge convoy of Dewey ready to go around the corner. Grain silos were built one by one. Until the end, everyone was too tired to move, Du Wei ended this crazy move.
And the result is ... Du Wei estimates. In the next year, grain prices in the northwestern provinces will be greatly reduced!
Then, a grand and unprecedented celebration was held in the town. Everyone went crazy drinking, dancing, and cheering for such a god-created harvest. The celebration lasted one day and one night. Everyone was drunk and drunk. They drank all the wine they could find ... but no one would feel bad. Because next, they don't lack the food to make wine!
After the carnival. After everyone rested for a day, Du Wei announced, "Start building!"
For more than a month, Philip has gone to great lengths to recruit thousands of workers from all parts of Desa, and has collected all the artisans who can be found everywhere. Finally waiting for the Lord Duke to announce the start of the construction of the new city ... but three months from what he said. Only half left.
Seeing this super harvest created by the Duke's magical magic, Philip's original suspicion has shaken! To be able to create such a miracle ... maybe building a new city in three months may not be crazy!
"All you need is night work." Du Wei issued a simple order to thousands of artisans recruited by Philip: "You don't need to do too much heavy physical work, actually. I just need you to do some repairs. Just tinkering with work. "
Later, Dewey showed his miracles again!
Just like creating a bumper harvest, Du Wei asked Mader to plant a sapling outside the selected new city address, and then he used the "time passing" spring water to artificially rain again.
Then nearly a thousand saplings, most of them grew into towering trees within a day!
After thinking about the horn of life, a thousand tree-like treemen were awakened ... waiting for them. It's already a mountain of materials ...
There is no doubt that there are not many self-conscious most primitive tree-tree companions who are the best laborers. They are infinitely powerful, tireless, and very obedient!
For those huge ground stones that require dozens of people to move, a treeman can easily lift it up and place it on the ground.
In the beginning. The artisans were frightened by these behemoths. They ran like crazy and thought they saw a monster. Under the suppression of Dewey's army, these guys were quieted down. Then, after it was determined that these giants were not dangerous, soon, thousands of artisans worked hard!
As Du Wei said, most of the heavy physical work has been undertaken by these giants. All the craftsmen need is tinkering and beating.
For example, when the city wall was built, the tree people easily laid a layer of stone, and the artisans immediately rushed to start filling the sand and other things ...
Within ten days, the northern wall has begun to take shape!
This speed is alarmingly fast!
Philip supervised with a group of Mr. Blue Ocean's disciples. Each of them was assigned a task, and he was busy commanding around with architectural drawings in his hand.
It turns out that Du Wei didn't say much.
With these powerful giants as labor, there are five days left in the third month that Dewey promised. The main walls of the new city have all been constructed. All the city walls have been designed as diamond-shaped undulating corners. The walls are as high as fifteen meters, which is already the standard of the first-class cities of the Empire. Such a rhombus-shaped city wall will be extremely solid!
Under the protection of the city wall of twenty miles, Du Wei's new capital in the northwest will be!
Loulan City!
But in private, everyone gave the city a new name:
City of Miracles!
Of course, now this "miracle city" is still just an empty shell. Apart from the main wall of the periphery, the city is still blank. Du Wei has designed several avenues running from north to west, and the appearance has been paved. But it was empty all around. The only building in the city is a castle.
This will be Dewey's future governor's office.
The approximate shelf of the new capital city has been set up within three months, and the rest are the buildings in the city. Then there was the headache of immigration. These things can't be done in the short term.
According to Philip's estimates, it will take about a year for this new capital to become a veritable city.
Before that, Dewey had to stay in the old capital of Gilliard.
The residents of the town by Loulan Lake became the first settlers of the new capital. After getting a series of guarantees, they gave up their homes: that small town has all become the new capital. Residents. After worrying about food, he started to build his new home ...
After a busy few months, the number of people who have definitely been willing to move has reached 30,000. The western suburbs of the new capital's city are already a bit different. Citizens who relocate to the new city will receive Dewey's commitment to waive all taxes for one year.
The construction of the new city also provides a lot of employment opportunities. Those farmers do not have to worry about losing their source of life after they come to the city, let alone Du Wei allows them to retain the original land.
Gilliard is the most immigrant, because after Dewey announced the one-year exemption from all taxes, he also announced that Gilliard will no longer be a city in the province of Desa Establishment. At the same time, no army is planned here.
Without the protection of the city walls, if the broken city walls can now be regarded as "city walls". Without the protection of the army, this place will become the favorite place for horse thieves and robbers. As a result, insecure citizens had to choose to move.
The migration of 80,000 people cannot be achieved overnight.
However, these issues do not need to worry about Dewey. Philip will bring the blue ocean of disciples as the first administrative officer of his governor's office, responsible for all immigration issues. The Cavaliers were responsible for deterring the army in case something happened during this period.
What about Dewey?
He once again entered the governor's house of Ghilar, and began his mysterious research life.
Hussein was given a new assignment by Dewey. This mighty paladin will head to the Frozen Forest and cross the Great Lakes to the valley where the treants live.
Because Du Wei's "time passes" spring water is almost exhausted!
You can safely enter the frozen forest without worrying about the harsh conditions and the powerful World of Warcraft that is everywhere, and you don't have to worry about leaks. Only Hussein can do this job.
