In the battle of Hongyan City, the troops commanded by Yang Tian killed more than 400,000 enemy troops who attacked the city.
However, of the 130,000 troops he led, less than 30,000 remained.
The remaining members of the Guards were more than 4,000.
This young man suffered from vomiting, nightmares, and babble for more than half a month.
Qiong Daotian didn't talk nonsense.
He wrote down a very great military achievement for Yang Tian.
All the subordinate generals were promoted to two ranks immediately.
Later, he mobilized elite troops to make up for his 200,000 subordinates.
General Long of the Tiger and Wolf Army without hesitation allocated 150,000 of his elite subordinates to Yang Tian.
The Qiong family's private army was also the strongest of 50,000.
When Qiong Daotian was talking to other generals in private, he commented on Yang Tian: "This kid, I originally thought that he would be a not-so-bad young master at most.
Who knew, his performance this time really surprised me."
In the next two days, Yang Tian suddenly showed strength on the battlefield that was inconsistent with his previous performance, and this matter gradually reached Qiong Daotian's ears.
Qiong Daotian smiled, said nothing, and said to the generals of the Qiong family: "I can understand General Yang's approach...
If it were me, I would do the same.
After all, if the performance is too good, He won't be able to survive here."
The implication is that he is very dissatisfied with some people in Shengjing.
Only mediocre people can survive, but good people will insist on eradicating them.
He, Master Qiong, can't stand it anymore.
After seven days of training, after the long battle, the soldiers had regained their energy.
Qiong Daotian held a military meeting for the first time for all the thousand-man captains and above in the First Army.
He said seriously to his subordinate generals: "Although we defeated the enemy this time, we also lost more than 200,000 brothers.
Everyone should have heard from the brothers in Hongyan City that the blood-red The strength of the cavalry, but they did not get a chance to take action We have already forced them away.
This is not because they are not strong enough, but because their commander's strategy is not good enough.
As for these soldiers who have been killed by more than a million of us, although they are also elite soldiers, they are all on the battlefield for the first time.
It cannot be compared with the mighty army of the Black Cloud Empire."
The generals remained silent.
After all, more than a thousand prisoners were captured and forced to give confessions.
They all told everything they knew about the situation.
Among the more than three million enemy troops, the regular troops of the Black Cloud Empire who were supervising and assisting in the battle were not at all They didn't take action and all followed Feng to escape.
This time's performance was very brilliant from a human perspective, but from a connotation perspective, it was a bit watery.
Qiong Daotian nodded and said: "According to the prior plan, the second army will arrive in four months at the earliest.
If there is any problem on the road, it will probably take more than half a year.
During this period, We must build all the defenses and save enough food and fodder for the second army.
No one knows when the Black Cloud Empire will launch the second attack.
Now I will announce the tasks of each general."
"Commander Long of the Tiger and Wolf Army, will lead a section of the Tiger and Wolf Army to conduct daily patrols to guard against harassing attacks by the other party."
General Long made the promise and strode away.
"Qiong Feiyun, collect local civilian services, focus on deepening the walls, moats, etc. of several cities."
A middle-aged general with a gloomy face nodded and went out.
"Qiong Daobing, take people to find the local little nobles and have a good talk with them.
After all, we are here to liberate them.
They should be kind enough to donate more military pay to me, and civilian service wages.
It's their responsibility."
A young general with a kind face but fierce eyes walked out with a smile. . . . . . .

Yang Tian was anxious, he threw himself at Qiong Daotian's military order case with a flattering smile, and said with a smile: "Big brother, as for me, you have to give me something to do.
Don't feel sorry for me because I'm injured, hehe..." . . . . . . . . . . .
Qiong Daotian also chuckled a few times, looked up and down at Yang Tian and said, "How can I feel sorry for you?
Your brother seems to have no wounds...
Well, I'll find a good job for you in the nearby villages.
You take people out every day to inspect their remaining food, and we all Collect them and give them a little compensation according to the market price.
Well, at the same time, they are ordered to replant more grain and grass while it is still early in the season.
If you can, collect as much as you can.
The craftsmen of wood, lacquer, and gold were captured in the city of heaven and commandeered by the army.”
Yang Tian suddenly lost his energy.
He had just been promoted.
Zeng Guoxuan and Jiang Chunshui, who had accompanied him in, also felt exhausted and said feebly: "This is not a good job.
It's boring.
It's just those stupid people from the Ministry of Works."
The pole is gone.”
Qiong Daotian said calmly: "In addition, you are responsible for investigating how many household registrations there are in the area we control, and whether there are any talented people and strangers who can be used by us.
Furthermore, it is also the most important item...
"Qiong Daotian lowered his voice, slowly Tuntun said: "You will lead a hundred thousand craftsmen to conduct field exploration for minerals such as gold, silver, iron, diamonds, coal, lime, etc.
As long as you find them, before the arrival of the Second Route Army, I will allow you to act cheaply and vigorously."
Mining and subsidizing military use.”
Yang Tian shot up, and Zeng Guoxuan's eyes immediately became very bright.
He simply snatched the mining document from Qiong Daotian's hand, and the three of them ran out like flying.
Qiong Daotian slapped his forehead hard and cursed angrily: "Remember, no matter how much you embezzle, you are not allowed to blackmail them all."
Now the only ones left in the big tent were some trusted generals of the Qiong family.
An old man asked in confusion: "Young master, if you ask these people to mine minerals, I'm afraid they can only hand over one tael per pound of gold.
This Can I still do things?”
Qiong Daotian smiled: "Even if they only hand over one tael of ten pounds of gold, I will be happy.
It's better than nothing... not to mention..."
Qiong Daotian looked a little hesitant: "Those big guys from the Guards Regiment The young master suffered heavy casualties this time, and we can't afford it if any of their grandfathers had any trouble with His Majesty.
Get some benefits to win over their thoughts.
I'm afraid our heads will go back before we can triumph.
Well, don't always rigidly follow military law.
After all, many things in the world still have to be humane.
The young master is happy, and the casualties of their companions have become a minor matter."
After a pause, Qiong Daotian laughed and said: "You have also seen the battlefield survey report.
More than half of those young masters were forced to use their swords at the last moment.
Although they are a little weak, they cannot be underestimated.
Maybe , they will still have a very big share in the future They have strong combat power.
It is better to form a relationship with them now than to wait until they have made their mark in the court.
The Qiong family has no ambitions, but it is good to have continuous prosperity and wealth.
It is not good to please them now. , when to please?”
Everyone in the Qiong family suddenly understood and said one after another: "The eldest young master is wise, wise."
Qiong Daotian smiled bitterly in his heart: "As long as I am wise and deal with the adults in the court more, you will become like this sooner or later...
Oh, fortunately there are Master Zeng and Master Jiang, as long as their sons are happy, they can't protect our Qiong family.
It seems that there will be no consequences in this matter.

However, should we send this report immediately?
Where is Shengjing?"
After calculating for a long time, Qiong Daotian silently made a decision: "Forget it, let's wait until the end to decide.
The army along the way cannot withstand the anger of those officials who lost their beloved ones...
Let's wait until Marshal Wen comes over to decide everything. ” xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Yang Tian and the other three excitedly rushed to the place where their group of young masters were recuperating.
They casually called over their subordinate generals such as Yue, Bai, Li, Zhang, Leng, Feng, etc.
They were given all the matters of grain and grass and urging the people to replant grain and grass, and they quickly rushed into the camp.
Before the generals could gather their troops, those young men who were weak, had nightmares and could not wield their swords two days ago had already rushed out grabbing their own weapons and armor, putting armor on their bodies as they ran.
By the time the men and horses mobilized by several generals arrived, these young men were already neatly dressed and high-spirited, and they were arranged in a square formation.
Even a few seriously injured guys followed behind with grins on their faces. .
Yang Tian laughed loudly and sent someone to greet Old Ghost Heitian.
He then brought with him 30,000 elite cavalry from the Tiger and Wolf Army, 10,000 strong archers from the Qiong family, and more than 100 experts from the mines and veins.
They took him with them for a month.
The supplies for life in the wild were rushed out in a hurry.
Several generals were shocked and roared at their subordinate soldiers: "Look, look, look at their speed.
You are still elites.
You still look down on those young masters on weekdays, but their performance is much better than yours.
You are embarrassed."
So the speed of gathering in the future must be faster than them."
I really don’t know what these generals will think if they finally understand what makes these young men so energetic.
But now, the minds of these young masters are constantly dancing with gold and silver.
Hey, I really don’t know how they are going to transport it back to Shengjing.
Some local residents have slowly gathered at the square in the center of the city under the friendly or unfriendly invitations of the soldiers, facing the remuneration offered by the military, which is twice as high as the general local market.
The people accepted the campaign to help the army repair and expand the city walls.
In addition, a siege city must be built, which must be able to station a large number of troops.
Hundreds of thousands of troops galloped freely within the area under their control, investigating everything they were interested in.
The distribution of mountains and rivers, the distribution of places where people live, the situation of special products, everything is recorded on the map.
In the first half of the month, the biggest discovery was a huge river that could penetrate directly into the hinterland of the continent.
According to the surveyed water depth and flow rate, the most advanced armored gunboats can easily conduct long-range raids.
As for Yang Tian, Long Feng, Feng Ling'er, Heitian Laogui, Genu and other five people, they have led more than 40,000 people and have been following the more than 100 pulse-finding masters in the wilderness for ten days.
They didn't know what reason they were following, and walked all the way into the mountains, getting farther and farther.
Gradually, old ghost Heitian became a little surprised, his eyes flashed with green light, and he said in surprise: "Hey, these guys still have some skills. , I see that the aura of gold essence in the north is very strong in this area, there must be a large amount of metal ore down there, but I don’t know what kind of mineral it is, how did they see it?”
The leader of the pulse seekers respectfully replied: "Lord Buddha, we judge based on the color of the rocks on the ground, the population of special plants, and the mountain topography.
But experience allows us to know where there may be.
If we can If Lafayette can see the mineral gas accurately like this, we will be much more efficient. " The old ghost Heitian laughed proudly and said: "I have been practicing the ghost eye for fifty years.
I can teach you, haha, as long as you have half of my skill."
These pulse seekers immediately fell silent.
They had to practice half of Old Ghost Krishna's skills for at least 10,000 years.
Jiang Chunshui couldn't wait to ask: "What kind of minerals are gold, silver, and diamonds here?"
The leader said with a smile: "This should be a huge azurite mine, where the highest quality azurite is mined..."
Zeng Guoxuan had already interrupted him: "Hey, what's the use of that thing?
I'm so happy.
Old Didn’t Lord Buddha say that the aura of the golden spirit here is very strong?”
The leader quickly explained: "You don't know something, sir.
The azurite mine must have appeared along with the silver mine.
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
There must be a silver mine below here, but I don't know the exact content."
The young masters became more energetic and jumped off their horses one by one.
They were very courteous to the people seeking the pulse, urging them: "Hurry up, hurry up, where, where?"
A few impatient ones had already begun to send soldiers back.
The city went to inform the chief craftsmen in the city and asked them to send people to mine here as soon as possible.
After wandering around this area for another three or two days, they finally determined the location of the silver mine.
Old Ghost Heitian and Long Feng worked together to forcefully uncover a rock formation with a radius of a hundred feet, revealing the gray-white shimmering silver underneath.
Speckled ore.
Old Ghost Heitian got excited, relaxed all his mana and threw himself on it, shouting wildly.
Longfeng was careless, and he and Old Ghost Heitian worked together to lift the huge rock formation in the air.
Now Old Ghost Heitian The ghost suddenly withdrew his strength.
He was under great pressure, and the rock formation immediately pressed down, hitting the money-obsessed old ghost Krishna underneath.
Everyone was shocked and rushed to dig up the broken rock.
A black shadow had already scratched the rock formation, soared into the sky, and laughed wildly in the air: "I'm getting rich now, I'm getting rich...
Damn, this The mines are more than what the people have paid for in ten years."
The young masters cheered and used their swords desperately to dig out the raw silver ore.
Especially when Heitian Laogui and Long Feng melted a piece of ore weighing more than 10,000 kilograms with magic fire and made a silver ingot, this enthusiasm reached its peak.
Yang Tian issued an order: "Brothers, don't look around.
Those craftsmen will not be here for several days.
We will help them mine a lot of ore now.
When they come, we can start mining immediately.
Come here. , Immediately go to the nearby villages to summon workers and ask them to bring tools to mine.
Don’t they think it’s a waste for these idiots to put so much money underground?”
Cheers resounded throughout the valley.
The soldiers were happy that their military pay was greatly guaranteed, and they would definitely be able to fight hard and win several battles.
Not to mention the members of the Guards, they were definitely happy that their wealth could be enriched as much as they could.
Once.
Zeng Guoxuan and Jiang Chunshui pulled Yang Tian aside and started discussing in a low voice: "Boss, we have to solve this problem first.
How do we report the silver we refined to the superiors?"
Jiang Chunshui said fiercely: "Of course, the ore that I found cannot be given to them in vain.
According to me, giving them one or two pounds of silver ingots is enough...
In the future, I will find those iron and matchmakers.
Oh, you can give it to them for free."
Yang Tian hit him hard on the head and scolded him in a low voice: "Idiot, fool, waste.
It's just a little bit of money...
We must have a long-term vision and a lofty goal.
The future of money is beautiful. , let’s not worry about the small profit at the beginning, this little silver mine.
Can we give it half a pound?
If we find a gold mine in the future, we will give you one tael per pound.
Otherwise, if we send too little this time, wouldn’t it be cheap if Mr.
Qiong won’t give us this job in the future?
How did you learn from your father that if you don’t give away small money, you won’t get big money.”
The two people suddenly understood, nodded repeatedly, stretched out their thumbs and said to Yang Tian: "Boss, Gao Ming, Gao Ming."
Yang Tian said very proudly: "I am still confident about this.
You look down on matchmaking and iron.
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
You are really stupid.
In the future, we can apply to have all the rights to mine and distribute all matchmaking and iron on these three continents."
Give it to us.
According to our power in the court, it would be easy to get such a small amount of management rights.
Although Media and Iron itself is not money, But they can exchange money, and they are the ones who exchanged it for a lot of gold and silver.
Do the people want to use iron tools?
Do they want to burn matchmaking?
If the whole world has matchmaking and iron in our hands, can they not obediently give money?
At that time, we could set the price as high as we wanted and keep the cost as low as we wanted, and we would really make a fortune.”
Zeng Guoxuan looked fascinated: "Yes, boss, we can not only specialize in matchmaking and iron, but also salt.
I don't believe that these ordinary people in the Black Cloud Empire don't eat salt."
Jiang Chunshui added fiercely: "By the way, in the future, taxes will be collected when building houses.
If they don't pay taxes, they won't be allowed to build houses.
Why can't they live in caves?
They will also have to pay taxes when digging caves.
At most, it's better to have as little as possible."
Damn it.
Isn't it true that the total population of these three continents is nearly one billion?
One person earns ten gold coins, which is two taels of gold.
Oh my god, the three of us brothers can have two billion taels of gold each.
More than 100 million.
Yang Tian laughed evilly: "So, we need to pay more money now and build a good relationship with the big guys above.
As long as we do well, these transactions will be ours in the future...
I still want to Ah, I will definitely visit these three continents in the future We don't want to go back if we set up a grand commander's office.
There are many beauties here.
As long as we are rich and powerful, it is more comfortable than being an emperor.
We can also play with the people here as we please.
On the other side of Shengjing, don’t you dare?”
Zeng Guoxuan and Jiang Chunshui instantly made up their minds.
Once they conquered the Black Cloud Empire, they would never return.
The prospects here were simply too good.
Yang Tian looked at the results of his demagoguery with satisfaction, and said with a smile: "For this kind of good thing, we can't forget our brothers.
You talk about it carefully and recruit more brothers.
We will definitely be the commanders in the future.
The important ministers of the government, we all take care of each other, these three continents are not what we say."
Zeng Guoxuan and Jiang Chunshui didn't say a word, they rushed out quickly and started to win over people.
Long Feng laughed softly behind Yang Tian: "When you are together, you can expand the army at will.
If you find an excuse in the future, you can raise troops to rebel."
Yang Tian chuckled: "What do you think is possible?"
Long Feng nodded and said: "What a wonderful idea.
If the son of the court boss rebels in his territory, the court will definitely be in chaos.
By the time they straighten out their relationship and send troops to suppress it, they will have no chance.
However, you want it now.
Start thinking about how you can force your brothers to follow you and fight with all your heart."
Yang Tian murmured: "I'm not in a hurry, I'm not in a hurry.
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
It will take a long time to conquer the Black Cloud Empire.
I have a lot of time to think about it slowly."
He raised his eyebrows and took a swaggering step towards the Black Cloud Empire.
In full swing, the people who worked hard to mine silver mines I went to the construction site, still tutting my tongue desperately: "What a pity.
These knives were used to chop people.
Now they are used to dig ore.
What a pity...
Idiot, be careful, don't use the tip of the knife to chop.
Ah, this knife was also made with money."
Feng Ling'er suddenly appeared next to Long Feng and asked puzzledly: "Do you regard conspiracy as a fun thing?"
Long Feng said with a smile: "Sister, you don't know.
Different races have different traditional cultures.
Conspiracy, in our opinion, is a kind of enjoyment...
It is a pity that the conspiracy here is It’s a little bit off.
If you have a chance to go to my motherland in the future, the intrigues between countries there will probably scare you to death.”
Feng Ling'er's head was so big that she groaned and said: "I can be scared to death now...
I can deceive the best brother in my mouth at will, and while loyally bleeding for the country, I can conceive plans to betray the country in the future. , Use your so-called most beautiful feelings to threaten others, God.
Your motherland must be a hell."
Long Feng said sternly: "That's wrong.
To me, my motherland is heaven...
This is something that your race can never understand.
Therefore, this is also the reason why your powerful race was wiped out so quickly."
Feng Ling'er still looked confused, and Long Feng laughed secretly: "I won't teach you these things, otherwise, when your people have bodies, we will definitely not be your opponents." xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Twenty thousand local craftsmen, escorted by a hundred thousand troops, rushed to the silver mine day and night, hastily built some sheds that could accommodate their bodies, and began intense mining work.
Yang Tian constantly sent troops to plunder cattle, sheep, pigs, chickens and other livestock from nearby villages, and entertained these craftsmen with the best food every day.
At the same time, he took the initiative and led the young masters and the escorting soldiers to start cutting down logs and building sturdy wooden houses with comfortable beds and daily furniture so that these craftsmen could live well and eat well.
The craftsmen were extremely moved.
Yang Tian was a man with the title of Duke, and was now a senior general commanding an army of 200,000 people.
How could they have imagined that such a person with such a different identity from them would be covered in mud and lead an army.
A batch of aristocratic children built houses for these craftsmen and even cooked food for them themselves.
Long Feng was very satisfied.
Yang Tian's recent performance was too good.
Although he was not qualified to be a good emperor, he was at least qualified to be an ordinary traitor.
These craftsmen are all selected with excellent craftsmanship and no worries in the local area.
As long as they can win over their hearts, they can develop their own territory and improve weapons and armor in the future, which will be the biggest help.
Although those young masters did not have such a consciousness, they also worked hard to serve these craftsmen for the sake of the silver ingots that were piling up higher and higher.
Each of them had accumulated a lot of money in their accounts. money, this is also their biggest motivation.
More than a hundred vein seekers have begun to search for other minerals in the nearby mountains.
Several small iron veins have been discovered one after another.
It is estimated that there will be a large iron ore vein nearby.
They are following the instructions of Lord Krishna.
Busy with instructions, the 30,000 soldiers were divided into a hundred patrol units, patrolling the mountains and forests to prevent possible harassment activities from the Black Cloud Empire.
Gradually, within two months, all the 200,000 troops under Yang Tian's command had been mobilized, and more than 300,000 craftsmen were working desperately under Yang Tian's command.
Yang Tian still worked hard as always to leave the most perfect impression on these craftsmen who came from or were mobilized locally.
He was courteous to the virtuous, not ashamed to ask questions, asked questions, and took the lead.
Yang Tian impressed these ordinary people in every way.
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
Unintentionally, the two hundred thousand soldiers were also deeply affected by Yang Tian's actions.
They had completely changed their views on Yang Tian. . .
Another gain is that those young masters have somewhat experienced the sufferings of ordinary people.
After going through the test of life and death, they are also slowly changing in such ordinary daily life.
There is a gold mine, a silver mine, three iron mines, two coal mines, and several charcoal-burning workshops.
These facilities, which are now under the direct command of Yang Tian, are spread over two hundred miles of mountains.
Qiong Daotian was afraid that Yang Tian's manpower was not enough, so he sent an additional 100,000 troops to Yang Tian.
What reassures the army is that in those mountains and forests, the Black Cloud Empire cannot launch a large-scale attack even if it wants to.
Carloads of strategic resources such as silver ingots, iron nuggets, and charcoal are constantly being transported to the City of Paradise.
In comparison, the output of gold ingots is much less.
Well, the reason for this is known to the senior generals, but no one has revealed it.
Under Long Feng's training, Yang Tian also began to inspect nearby villages, asking craftsmen from there to guide local people in developing their own industry and agriculture.
In addition, Yang Tian also sent a batch of gold and silver, which was not very large but enough to buy ordinary people, to the local people.
Unknowingly, Yang Tian knew the spring breeze-like enjoyment brought by buying people's hearts.
He Start consciously making friends with even the lowest class people in the local area.
However, the generals of the Qiong family, who were busy dealing with the overall situation, ignored these matters and lost the opportunity to win the hearts and minds of the people in the occupied areas
