Chapter 991 The City of the Son of God
In the huge temple, Leng Sheng slept peacefully. The eight-year-old boy already looked like a few. I wonder if it was because of the temple, Leng Zhuo always felt that his son had a sacred breath, and the faint pressure could be clearly felt.
No wonder this little guy was held in the palm of the Great Yue Miao Kingdom. The argument with Miao Luo had not yet come to an end. The queen of Miao Kingdom Shi Anxiu and the great elder Mu Yue who rushed over hurriedly joined the debate. It has to be said that three women are in one play. Faced with the three most powerful women in the Great Yue Miao Kingdom, Leng Zhuo was a little unbearable.
However, Leng Zhuo gave up this time and wanted to bring Leng Sheng back to him for several years. This is not only an educational issue, but also a matter of future. As a father, he naturally hopes that his brothers will live in harmony. Now he only has these two sons, and there is no problem of competing for the throne. At that time, one north and one south, brothers will look at each other, which is the result that Leng Zhuo hopes most.
"Okay, I don't want to argue about this issue anymore. Sheng'er must stay in my place for a few years, and our Da Chu is not far from you. If you ride a flying beast, it will only take two days to go, and I won't let Sheng'er come back!"
The three women obviously were not so relieved about Leng Zhuo's guarantee, but seeing Leng Zhuo's determination, the Queen of Miao Kingdom Shi Anxiu also knew that if they persisted, the two sides would have to make a fuss. Now that the Great Chu Kingdom is strong, the Great Yue and Miao Kingdom are also hard to defeat. Especially now that the two countries are in good terms, they are closely connected in many aspects. If they really have to part with each other, the impact will be quite large.
What's more, there is a large army of Chu troops around Miao Kingdom, with a total of 150,000 armored soldiers and horses. In name, this army belongs to the Holy Son, but the Holy Son is only eight years old, so this army must have listened to the other party. If you really want to get along, the Miao Kingdom will be unable to resist.
As the queen of Miao Kingdom, Shi Anxiu naturally could not be like Miao Luo. She considered more, so she gave in to this issue and said: "The Holy Son cannot leave the temple for a long time, so he has to go back to the temple every March, and it will be a round in March! What you teach you, we teach us!"
Leng Zhuo shook his head and said, "No, three months are too short. Moreover, in recent years, Sheng'er has been receiving your teachings all day long, and even my father is unfamiliar. So before Sheng'er became an adult, she was with me at least eight months, four months, and two months after returning to Miao Kingdom. As for Sheng'er as an adult, Sheng'er will definitely take over the military power. At that time, I will support him in expanding his territory in the wild jungle!"
When the three girls heard Leng Zhuo say this, they looked at each other and were actually worried about the most that Leng Zhuo took the Holy Son away and refused to send it back. When the three girls were a little surprised when Leng Zhuo said he wanted to support the Holy Son to expand territory.
"You also know that I have only one throne. Because Sheng'er is born, it is difficult to inherit my position, and I don't want to be biased. So as long as you help Sheng'er build a country in the wild jungle, you won't be favored by one or the other. In the future, I hope that my two sons can be harmonious and guard each other, so I want them to communicate more and cultivate brotherly feelings together!"
Leng Zhuo said this, the three women also understood Leng Zhuo's good intentions. If they objected, they would be a little unkind.
However, although the three women agreed, they also put forward a lot of conditions, such as arranging people to serve and protect the Holy Son, and they would often go to Zhuque City to visit the Holy Son, etc. Leng Zhuo did not object to this, and the two sides had a consensus, so the subsequent conversation was naturally much lighter.
After talking about the Holy Son, there seemed to be no more topics on both sides. Leng Zhuo went out of the temple directly. In Miaodu City, there was a place where Leng Zhuo settled, which was also where Tang Die lived. However, after Leng Zhuo moved in, he learned that Tang Die was not there, but went to the newly occupied land. There, a new city, the Holy Son City, and Zhang Han's main army was stationed there.
The area where the Holy Son City was located was a large tribe like the Dayue Miao Kingdom. However, before the Suzaku Battle, the Dayue Miao Kingdom joined forces with Leng Zhuo and took more than a year to destroy it. Now three or four years have passed, but the city is still under construction, and the forest passage connecting the Hongtu City is also under construction. Once this road is opened, it will not be a wilderness here.
On the second day in Miaodu, Zhang Han, who received the news, came here on a flying beast, and Tang Die naturally did not show up.
"Your Highness!"
"General Zhang doesn't have to be too polite. Let's sit down. You have suffered in the past few years!" Among the many famous generals summoned, Zhang Han was one of the earliest military generals, but compared to the others, he has always been unknown, and most of the soldiers and horses under his command are barbarian slaves. Later, he was sent by Leng Zhuo to the wild jungle. When he thinks about it, Leng Zhuo also feels a bit unfair to him.
"It's a lot of hard work. There is nothing missing here. Moreover, after the construction of the City of the Holy Son and the road is opened, it will not lose to the towns in the north. There are even more. After all, there are many large minerals here!"
"Well, I've been busy these days, so I didn't pay attention to you. How much has the construction of the Holy Son City been built, how many roads have not been repaired, and how about the exploration and development of those minerals?
Zhang Han heard Leng Zhuo ask about this, but he was confident. He obviously had prepared a lot and said, "Go back to Your Highness, the main body of the construction of the City of Holy Son has been completed. It is estimated that it can be put into use by the end of this year. It is initially estimated that it can accommodate a population of 500,000. In addition, the three acropolis of Saint Guards 3, Saint Guards 6, and Saint Guards 8 have been completed. Now the troops have been stationed. The other acropolis have also been laid and the foundation has begun to take shape. However, it will take four or five years to build it!"
Leng Zhuo nodded. Leng Zhuo was already very satisfied with the progress. You should know that Leng Zhuo personally designed the City of the Son for his eldest son, but it took Leng Zhuo more than three months. The City of the Son is located between a continuous mountain. Among them, there is a river valley to figure it out. The main city is built on a circular stone mountain that is more than 200 meters high, almost building a mountain.
The City of the Holy Son is well-positioned. Thirty miles away, there is a wide river flowing downstream and entering the sea. There are several valleys among the mountains, with large areas of flat land that can be used for farming. These valleys are also good channels. Using the valleys, there are already three main channels, one to the Chuzhou Qixue Valley, one to the Dayue Miao Kingdom, and one to the newly occupied tribal land.
According to Leng Zhuo's design, in addition to the main city of the Holy Son City, there are also twelve acropolis built on the periphery. All of these acropolis are stuck in the main road of the river valley, or they are on the bank of the river, or they are located on the edge of a huge mine vein. The twelve acropolis can be said to be the gate of the Holy Son City, guarding the Holy Son City.
Because it was building a city and a road in the wild jungle, the siege was not fast, but the manpower was used for more than 200,000. Zhang Han had the first-class ability to capture slaves, and after these people were obedient, they would be the first group of residents of the Holy Son City.
"Now the passage to the Miao Kingdom of Dayue and the Wuhe River Basin has been opened. You only need to expand more to put it into use. The passage to Chixue Valley is about a hundred miles away, and it is estimated that it will be completed before the end of the year!"
Building a road in the wild jungle is not a matter of just building a road. There are countless monsters and beasts in the wild jungle, and there are also many small barbarian tribes that are still wandering. These are all threats, so on the road, you have to build villages every few miles away. One is to stay for the trip, and the other is to station troops and horses to patrol along the way and protect the chariots and horses coming and going.
However, as long as this road is open, this land will not be a barren land. With the rich mineral resources contained here, it will flourish and this passage will become extremely prosperous and lively. Once a stream of people is formed, these villages will soon be upgraded to villages and towns and continue to expand. In less than thirty or fifty years, this place will become a place of cultural development.
"Well, once the road is open, the materials from Da Chu will be transported continuously, and then it will be lively here!"
"Well, in addition to copper veins near the City of Holy Sons, there is also a Jinsha Valley, coal mine, and mercury mine. After years of exploration, these veins have been confirmed to have considerable reserves and are now mined in small batches. However, our current manpower is a bit insufficient, so we plan to take action against a medium-sized tribe recently!"
Building cities, opening roads, and mining all require a lot of manpower, especially when several major projects are started, with more than 100,000 or 200,000 people running out. In fact, there are not many people in each project. Zhang Han has such an idea, and Leng Zhuo naturally supports it.
"You can do whatever you need. Just ask the Military Affairs Office for any supplies. This time I will send some people to help you when I go back. The Red Clay Legion can also continue to expand, and strive to expand to 300,000 within two or three years. If there are too many, the logistics will be a little unsupported!"
Leng Zhuo pondered for a moment. The Red Clay Legion did not lack troops, but lacked military generals who could conquer warlike generals. It seemed that the allocation of talents to the Red Clay Legion should be appropriately increased.
Zhang Han nodded and said, "We have also found many river valleys nearby, but there are few farmers who know how to farm. If the young master can immigrate some, teaching those barbarian women to farm should be able to solve a large part of the food and reduce the pressure behind!"
"Well, I remember, I will ask someone to arrange it when I look back!"
It took an afternoon to meet Zhang Han, and Leng Zhuo also had a detailed understanding of the Holy Son City. Moreover, Zhang Han has not been busy building the city in the past two years. He has spyed on some of the surrounding barbarian tribes and tribes, and has also explored the surrounding mountains, rivers, valleys, and dangerous places, which has laid the foundation for future expansion and conquest.
Just wait for the city of the Holy Son to be built and the road connecting the Blood Valley to be completed and stabilized, a major conquest of the tribes in the south will be sure to gain more manpower and territory.
After seeing Zhang Han away, Leng Zhuo went to the residence of the Queen of Miao Kingdom and used a dinner party. After the dinner party, Leng Zhuo asked about the secret guards who were training in the Miao Kingdom in Dayue!
