Chapter 307: A genius as good as Hongmei, construction of a pilot project in the pass

“Wu Xilin, immediately have someone send a message using a spirit pigeon to report to the commander-in-chief, saying that our Fuxing Army won a great victory in its first battle in the pass!”

“Tell the commander-in-chief that this water fort is under the control of our Xuanwu First Battalion. Ask the military to send a team of new soldiers as soon as possible to take over the defense.”

Huang Zhanglong was holding the official seal of the captain of the water fort in his hand, tossing it up and down while giving orders to Wu Xilin, who looked a little depressed.

Well, the last sentence is the main point that Huang Zhanglong wants to make.

The Renaissance Army currently has a total of 600,000 warriors and combat soldiers. The last batch of 100,000 recruits who have just completed their recruit training are still staying in various recruit training bases.

This time the Fuxing Army is marching southwards, and will dispatch them in batches to successively capture various fortresses and towns, to be responsible for the garrison work in various places.

They had to cooperate with the civilian officials at all levels dispatched by the military to complete various cleanup and transformation tasks in the occupied areas.

Only in this way can the main combat corps be freed up to launch a continuous offensive against the enemy without delaying the progress of this round of blitzkrieg in order to defend the local area.

Faced with the behemoth that is the Ming Dynasty, even though it is already terminally ill and is still struggling to survive, Li Dingguo and the top leaders of the Fuxing Army will not take it lightly.

It took so long to prepare, and every aspect has been taken into consideration.

“Yes! Commander!”

Wu Xilin immediately took the order and left to inform the messenger, using the spirit pigeon to contact the large force that was about to arrive behind and inform them of the situation of the battle.

The various secretaries accompanying the army were also busy counting and recording the results of the battles and recording the military achievements of the soldiers.

At this time, a large number of logistics soldiers and craftsmen from the craftsman camp, under the command of several officers and generals, got off the treasure ship in an orderly manner.

They needed to repair and renovate this vital water fortress, build it into a veritable border riverside fortress town, and make it an important transit point for logistical supplies.

After the Third Battalion of Xiu Xuanwu, led by Pan Jinghua, successfully captured the water fort guarding the east side of the pass, they also had to carry out a major cleanup and renovation.

There is no doubt that these two large water forts will soon become important logistics transfer bases for the Fuxing Army to enter the pass and provide strong support for the army’s continued combat.

In the future, these two water fortresses located inside and outside the border will become important hubs connecting the inside and outside of the border, and play their due huge role.

Li Dingguo, who came from the 21st century, was of course well aware of the great development potential of this water fortress that guarded the important waterway gateway.

In the routine development model of the Fuxing Army, these two important water hub towns will inevitably develop into two prosperous riverside cities within a few years, bringing huge economic benefits to the rise of the Fuxing Army.

“I wonder if Pan Jinghua will encounter the same situation as this water fortress?”

Watching Wu Xilin leap away, Huang Zhanglong couldn’t help but think.

Although he and Pan Jinghua often had quarrels, they were close friends without compromise.

……

“Commander, this… we just rushed to the big dock, and the enemies in this water fort all surrendered?”

Liu Zhiqing looked at the three or four hundred soldiers of the government army who were escorted by the Xuanwu Third Battalion to an open space near the big dock, waiting for verification and processing, and spoke with his eyes wide open and in a very complicated tone.

He is the deputy commander of the Xuanwu Third Battalion.

Liu Zhiqing is not a veteran soldier of the Fuxing Army, but a genius who emerged from the new recruits camp last year.

Don’t be fooled by his gentle appearance, this guy is actually a martial arts master in the middle stage of the fourth level.

You know, he only started practicing last summer.

This qualification is not much worse than Li Dingguo, and is comparable to Cao Yongxiang now.

Of course, being able to become the deputy commander of the Xuanwu Third Battalion so quickly could not be achieved just by relying on one’s monstrous qualifications.

Liu Zhiqing, like Li Dingguo, has a photographic memory.

He loved reading and studying, and whenever he had free time he would go to the public library open to the soldiers of the Fuxing Army to read.

Because he has a photographic memory, he has copied more than ten thousand books of various types in the library into his mind.

When it comes to his own knowledge reserves, Liu Zhiqing is undoubtedly ranked second in the entire Fuxing Army.

The first is of course Li Dingguo.

Li Dingguo would naturally not place some special books that are too precious in the public library.

If not for this, this guy Liu Zhiqing would probably be tied with Li Dingguo for first place.

The most important thing is that Liu Zhiqing was able to flexibly apply the knowledge he had learned, so that he, who was born as a carpenter’s son, was quickly discovered and valued by the military. He was promoted to the deputy commander of the Xuanwu Third Battalion.

Although this guy is very evil, he doesn’t have much experience. That’s why he was so shocked when he saw that his own people had successfully occupied the water fort without even a fight and captured hundreds of officers and soldiers there.

“Aqing.”

Pan Jinghua said to the boy, who was the same age as him, “Isn’t this normal?”

“These officers and soldiers are far from being comparable to our Renaissance Army.”

“They have even had their military pay withheld for the most part, and they don’t even have a guarantee for the livelihood of themselves and their families. You want them to risk their lives for the government?”

“Look at the worn-out mandarin duck battle jackets they wear, and look at the water fort here, which is dirty everywhere and the buildings are dilapidated. You can tell what their lives were like before.”

“If it were you, without even the basic living security of being a soldier, would you risk your life for the government?”

“Not to mention that it is even more impossible when facing the enemy’s overwhelming superiority in military strength and resistance is certain to end in death.”

“There is not even one Qi Refining Realm general in this water fort. Those generals also look very pale. I guess they are usually suppressed by their superiors and are ignored by everyone, just waiting to die.”

“Ah Qing, you have just started to formally come into contact with the outside world. After you have more experience, you won’t be so surprised.”

Pan Jinghua is very optimistic about his deputy.

If nothing else, with Liu Zhiqing’s extraordinary talent, maybe in a year or two, he would be able to break through to the fifth level and become a true master.

In addition, since he is so studious, he will soon be able to become a qualified general who can stand on his own.

There is a high probability that I will be left far behind by him in the future, or even be unable to catch up with him.

It’s not just Liu Zhiqing. There is a surge of talent in the Fusion Army today. Many monstrous geniuses have emerged and have been promoted to deputy commanders of various combat battalions.

The purpose of the military is clear at a glance: to train them vigorously so that these evil geniuses can grow up as quickly as possible and be able to stand on their own in the future.

The Fuxing Army is now expanding, and nowadays, top experts and core generals are increasingly in short supply.

Only by allowing these evil geniuses to grow up as quickly as possible can we resolve the urgent problem.

It is impossible for Li Dingguo to participate in all the siege wars of various legions in the future. A potential genius like Liu Zhiqing is likely to lead an army alone in the future to capture cities and territories.

“Okay, Ah Qing, don’t just stand there. Lead the soldiers and cooperate with the clerks accompanying the army to count the spoils, register them, and record their military merits!”

Pan Jinghua was very clear about the strength of this deputy.

He handled these military affairs easily, quickly and in an orderly manner.

In this regard, Pan Jinghua even suspected that Hongmei, the general manager of the Fuxing Army, might not be as good as Liu Zhiqing.

“Oh, I’ll go right away!”

Liu Zhiqing hurriedly took the order and left, joined up with a dozen secretaries who were accompanying the army, and led a large number of logistics soldiers to start various follow-up work in a hurry.

The various military affairs here seemed very complicated, but under his command, they were quickly arranged in a clear and orderly manner.

This made Pan Jinghua feel quite relaxed.

He then led his men to the location of the hundreds of soldiers and began to interrogate and investigate, clearing out the bad elements among them. Facts have proved that even in the most impoverished groups, there are some extremely evil people.

For this kind of interrogation and verification work, the soldiers of the Fuxing Army have already formed their own routines: military deterrence, reporting and exposing, and mutual accusations…

With the implementation of this entire system, there will be no chance of anything slipping through the net.

An hour later, Pan Jinghua, with a gloomy face, suddenly made a lightning-fast move, using his powerful true energy to destroy the cultivation of a dozen selected scums, and shouted to a pair of soldiers beside him, “Drag these guys away, find a place to kill them, and bury them!”

The Fusion Army’s methods of dealing with this type of people are simple and crude, but direct and effective.

Only in this way can we eliminate future troubles permanently.

When people die, there will naturally be peace.

At this kind of interrogation, there must be at least a hundred soldiers present, and the charges must be verified by personnel from the Military Intelligence Department.

This is to prevent false cases and wrongful convictions, so that generals will not abuse their power and kill the wrong people.

“Although you are innocent, I can’t let you go now!”

Pan Jinghua then said to the remaining nearly 400 prisoners, “From now on, you will be assigned to the logistics camp, participate in collective labor, and support yourself.”

“We have a lot of benefits in the Fusion Army, and they will be distributed in a real way. No one dares to do anything wrong. You don’t have to worry about yourself and your family not having enough to eat in the future.”

“If there is anyone in your family who has never practiced martial arts, you can have him sign up for the martial arts selection. There will be corresponding training techniques and training resources distributed regularly until he passes the selection or is eliminated.”

When these combat battalions fight outside, they will not simply consume the supplies brought by the logistics battalion. They can also obtain monster meat and ordinary meat through concentrated hunting and collective fishing to reduce the various consumption of logistics supplies.

This is also the biggest difference between the Renaissance Army and other armies: the soldiers have the opportunity to be self-reliant, so they will definitely be self-sufficient, often change their taste buds, and the food will be fresher and more delicious.

Under the system of the Renaissance Army, every combat battalion is equivalent to a big family.

With the omnipresent Ministry of Internal Affairs personnel secretly supervising, no one dares to act recklessly.

As long as you show any sign of this and keep committing the same offense, you will soon be taken away by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and the minimum punishment will be expulsion from the military.

This revival military was created by Li Dingguo himself. From the very beginning, after careful and repeated consideration, he established various insurmountable rules and regulations that everyone must abide by.

“what……”

“This… your army can actually do this?”

“Great! At least from now on, the seven people in my family can all have enough to eat through labor.”

“Yes, yes! We will join your logistics camp immediately. I am good at carpentry!”…

As soon as Pan Jinghua finished speaking, these hundreds of soldiers who had just been frightened breathed a sigh of relief, and then they couldn’t wait to speak.

They were soon led to the logistics camp by a team of soldiers and participated in various tasks.

Even though they were still somewhat wary, they would naturally feel at ease after seeing it with their own eyes.

Military households like them can’t even get enough to eat, let alone their families.

With the recent intensification of natural disasters and man-made disasters, we are just holding our breath.

They never imagined that in this completely different Renaissance Army, having enough food and drink was just the most basic welfare.

As long as they work hard, there will be many surprises waiting for them.

From now on, they no longer have any other identity but are just ordinary soldiers of the logistics battalion.

It is not easy to become a soldier again. One must pass the assessment of new recruits of the Renaissance Army.

As the two crucial water forts of this border Great Wall fell into the hands of the Fuxing Army, the soldiers of the First and Second Xuanwu Battalions, leading a large number of soldiers from the logistics battalion, began a vigorous infrastructure construction while waiting for the arrival of the main army.

They were also tasked with completely blocking the waterway of Jialu River.

Any boat appearing on this section of the river will be seized.

Without exception, all the ships, big and small, that dare to pass through here cannot be legitimate merchants.

Their treasure ship was naturally seized by the soldiers for their own use, and all the warriors and evildoers on the ship were killed by the soldiers.
Those ordinary boatmen and sailors will be strictly examined, and those who are innocent will be taken into the logistics camp.

For the soldiers who have experienced many battles, these routines are already familiar and they can be used smoothly.

Because of the strict information blockade, nothing here was leaked out.

Three days later, the two water forts along the coast of this Great Wall pass had been completely renovated thanks to the joint efforts of tens of thousands of combat soldiers, tens of thousands of soldiers in the logistics camp, and tens of thousands of craftsmen in the craftsman camp.

With so many warriors assisting, the work efficiency is unimaginable for ordinary people.

Today, the two water forts located along the Jialu River at the gap in the Great Wall can no longer be called water forts.

They have become two large fortress cities, and all the buildings, except for some that can be preserved, have been demolished and rebuilt.

Even the large dock was expanded more than ten times.

This is at the foot of the Great Wall. There is not much else nearby, just a lot of stones and trees.

Mining bluestone and trees is a piece of cake for soldiers equipped with a set of magical weapons.

After a while, large bluestones of the required size were mined by warriors using their magic weapons and tools, and transported to the riverside for loading onto ships.

With the transportation capacity of the treasure ship, it would be easy to transport tens of thousands of bluestone blocks at a time.

The two water forts, which have now been renovated, cover an area of ​​more than ten miles. Various buildings built with large bluestones of the same specifications appear very beautiful and elegant under the skillful hands of those experienced craftsmen.

The architectural level of the Ming Dynasty had actually reached the peak of the Chinese nation.

As long as there is no shortage of money and food, and no cutting corners, all kinds of buildings built, even if the main materials are bluestone and wood, are not only beautiful but also very sturdy.

In the two new fortress cities located on both sides of the Great Wall Gap River, there are three vertical and three horizontal straight bluestone avenues, all of which are thirty meters wide.

There are several large squares located at the intersections, and along the way are neatly arranged exquisite buildings made of large bluestone and wood. It looks orderly and pleasing to the eye.

Each of these large squares is a hundred feet in radius in order to accommodate the development needs of this riverside fortress city which will inevitably become extremely busy in the future.

The biggest difference between the urban building complex model of the Fuxing Army and that of the Ming Dynasty is the sewers that are three meters in radius and the public toilets that are located every hundred meters.

Li Dingguo, who came from the Earth in the 21st century, was most disgusted by the urban flooding that was prevalent all over the world at that time.

The key point is that these waterlogging situations are all man-made.

It is obvious that all the rivers, big and small, under the jurisdiction of counties, cities and towns can be easily cleared, dredged and repaired with a well-equipped mechanized engineering team, but no one is doing it.

It is obvious that the problem of urban flooding can be completely solved by carrying out a comprehensive renovation of the sewer projects in all towns, but no one is doing it.

In the 21st century, most floods and waterlogging disasters around the world are man-made and can be easily eradicated, but all officials turn a blind eye.

With a large number of mechanized equipment, any town can be transformed by the local construction team within less than half a year. Moreover, this large-scale construction that benefits the people can stimulate a domestic demand economy that benefits the entire nation.

In his previous life, Li Dingguo was a lowly figure with little influence and could only turn a blind eye.

But after coming to this big world, I have the power to make my words count, and of course I will not let the mistakes of my previous life repeat themselves in my own territory.

When formulating the future routine urban construction plan of the Fuxing Army, Li Dingguo had strict requirements on these aspects and asked the Ministry of Military and Political Affairs to implement them thoroughly without any discounts to avoid bringing disaster to the country and the people in the future.

These two riverside fortress cities are the first demonstration projects of Jiangzuoying. If the results are good, they will be implemented in the future.
