Lord of the People: I rely on cheating for hegemony

Chapter 764 Building Wucheng
At 4:21 p.m. on April [-] in the fourth year of Tianxuan, Qu Mao went to Wucheng Port and the proposed construction site of Wucheng, and went to the mountains to conduct field surveys.

That night, Sylvia Ocean, Zhao Pan, and Chafidel led a total of 1.5 navies, hundreds of high-level guards from the Lord's Lodge, and a small number of troops stationed on the land where Wucheng Port was to be built. And there are three super warships moored at sea.

Qu Mao drew the construction planning drawings of Wucheng Port and Wucheng overnight, and Sylvia Ocean sent Shanks Reid and Christine Silien to pick up the craftsmen and the main mainland respectively on the Holy Land Union Island. Yancheng Port picks up workers and residents.

According to Qu Mao's plan, the first batch of craftsmen, troops and residents to be put into construction should have a total number of no less than 5, otherwise it would be impossible to realize the time requirements of Yicheng Territory for the main mainland's Tibetan army port and city in a short period of time .

Counting the 1.5 navy, it means that at dawn on April 4 in the fourth year of Tianxuan, Shanks Reid and Christine Sirian will need to transport another 22 people to this place.

The reason why Sylvia Oshen left so many naval soldiers was to protect Qu Mao. Even though Jierhou Kingdom was already an independent territory of Yicheng Territory, it had not been taken for a long time after all.

Although there are few people around, you can't be too careless about everything.

As a military port and military fortress, Qu Mao's construction plan is quite simple.

In particular, Wucheng is nothing more than an area 2 kilometers away from Wucheng Port. A square city wall with a side length of 10 kilometers is designed, and nine gates are set on each side of the city wall.

Qu Mao didn't have any intuitive feeling for a city that accommodated several million or even tens of millions of soldiers in the future. The King City of the Duke of Tassel usually accommodated a population of 300 million, but the side length had already reached 20 kilometers.

It's just that the location of Wucheng is enough to accommodate a city wall with a side length of 20 kilometers, while Qu Mao can only plan a city wall with a side length of 10 kilometers.

Later, due to terrain problems, Qu Mao had to reduce the length of the city wall in a certain direction, and changed the construction plan of Wucheng from a square to a rectangle.

Qu Mao felt something was wrong when he was drawing in the middle of the night, so he asked Zhao Pan to take the fifth-rank court guards to ride horses and light torches to explore the specific terrain overnight.

If the width of Wucheng Port is too narrow, it means that the length of the coastline will be extended. The current calculation result is that it will spread at least five kilometers.

It was just dawn on April 4 in the fourth year of Tianxuan, and the personnel transported by the navy had not yet arrived, but Zhao Pan had already returned to Qu Mao's camp with the fifth-rank court guards.

The longer the military port spreads along the coastline, the more unfavorable it is for defense. Zhao Pan also confirmed Qu Mao's guess.

Based on this consideration, the site selection of Wucheng must be further compressed in order to leave more space and depth for Wucheng Port.

After much deliberation, Qu Mao decided to change Wucheng into a rectangle with a length of 10 kilometers and a width of 6 kilometers, which would reduce the amount of construction work for the city wall a lot.

At the same time, Wucheng Port can be extended to at least six kilometers deep into the coastline. In an instant, the length of Wucheng Port's coastline can be reduced to about 2 kilometers.

Even so, after Wucheng is built, it will be many times larger than any town in the holy land of Yicheng territory. Compared with Liusu Duke's King City, it is probably only a little smaller, even if it is not as good as the six princes. It is the royal city of the country, but the main city of the general city level on the main continent is rarer than the Wucheng.

The construction planning drawings are quite simple to draw, and there is really no room for more fighters in the future. You can also learn from other main cities on the main continent and build satellite towns around them.

It was already daylight, and Sylvia Ocean told Qu Mao that the first batch of artisans, residents and guarding troops transported by Shanks Reid and Kristen Sirian would leave in about an hour or two. can arrive.

The naval soldiers who stayed behind last night were also taking the time to build a temporary pier. The temporary pier will be a very important preliminary construction before the wharf is built in Wucheng Port.

Qu Mao attaches great importance to the construction of Wucheng and Wucheng Port. The territory of Yicheng can be regarded as a place to gain a foothold on the main mainland. Mao's first priority.

As for the resumption of production in the main mainland Tassel Principality and the Six Great Marquis States, Qu Mao believes that Su Yan can solve this problem well, and the Tassel Principality and the Six Great Marquis States have already started this matter.

After Su Yan landed in the Principality of Tassels on the main continent, she did not destroy the spring seeds of the residents of the Principality of Tassels. During the battle, she also deliberately avoided damaging the residents' cultivated land. Therefore, there is a high probability that the Principality of Tassels will be able to harvest a batch of grain during the summer harvest in July.

So Qu Mao can just focus on the reorganization of the army. Now that the population base is large, the expansion speed of the army will be much faster. As for high-level fighters, as long as the cheat value is enough, Qu Mao will not be short.

At about nine o'clock in the morning on April 4nd in the fourth year of Tianxuan, Shanks Reid and Kristen Sirian moored to the temporary dock at the construction site of Wucheng Port successively, with a total of 22 naval soldiers and 1 army troops. Soldiers, 5000 craftsmen, and 1500 other residents landed on land one after another, and began to build Wucheng Port and Wucheng simultaneously.

This number is about half less than the number that Sylvia Oshen told Qu Mao the night before. The main reason is that Wucheng Port and Wucheng are more than 1000 kilometers away from Yicheng, and the magic communication crystal cannot be used. Delivery inconvenience.

Qu Mao didn't mind, because with the first batch of construction personnel, there will be a second batch of construction personnel soon. After all, it only takes more than ten hours to arrive. Whether it is the Duchy of Tassels or the Kingdom of Gilhou, more people will be mobilized. It takes a certain amount of time for construction personnel to come.

Now that the construction of Wucheng and Wucheng Port has started, Qu Mao does not intend to stay on the construction site for a long time and return to Duke Liusu King City as soon as possible. However, Sylvia Ocean, Zhao Pan and Chafidel all suggested that Qu Mao continue to stay. The second batch of construction crews arrived.

The first batch of people who arrived will not be able to start the construction project for the time being. The main thing is to build accommodation camps for subsequent construction personnel. Wucheng is located on a mountainside, and the water for hundreds of thousands of construction workers must be solved by excavating a reservoir. .

In the future, when Wucheng is built well, the problem of fresh water accumulation must also be solved. After all, it must accommodate millions or even tens of millions of troops.

There are several naturally existing freshwater ponds, and the accumulated freshwater is likely not enough for the daily drinking of millions of troops.

Zhao Pan, Chafidel, and Sylvia Ocean were also very dedicated to the construction of Wucheng Port and Wucheng. The three of them even discussed moving the main force of the navy and army here in advance.

On April 4th in the fourth year of Tianxuan, after welcoming the second batch of 24 construction personnel, Qu Mao left the Wucheng construction site on a returning super warship.
