In the next few days, Zhao Jun stayed in the military camp, immersed himself in this large pile of documents, and started compiling a translation dictionary.
The importance of this translation dictionary is not low at all. Yunzhou County must conquer that land, but the language barrier is destined to become a huge gap between the two sides, and will also have a negative impact on Yunzhou County's relationship with that land in the future. The domination of this land caused huge obstacles.
With this translation dictionary, it is equivalent to having a basis for communication. According to the dictionary and then learning from the other party's written communication, you can quickly understand their language.
The communication barrier will no longer exist. Once Yunzhou County takes over the land, it will be able to successfully rule the land.
Sometimes language is the biggest obstacle to unity. If you don't understand the language, you won't even know what little tricks the other party is doing behind your back.
Once you understand the language, the other person's secrets to you will be greatly reduced.
After being in seclusion for nearly half a month, Zhao Jun finally completed the translation dictionary.
During the compilation of the translation dictionary, another major event happened in Yunzhou City, that is, the road leading to the plain was finally completely repaired, and the rest of the vanguard sent to explore all came back. At the same time, they reported to Yunzhou County It brought the most complete city information in the area, giving everyone in Yunzhou County a more complete understanding of the plain.
Once the road is built, the people who built the road before will naturally not be able to let them fend for themselves. Once a large number of people lose their livelihood, it will be a big problem.
Under the arrangements of the Yunzhou County Sheriff's Office, these former road construction workers were gradually transformed into logistics workers, who would be engaged in transporting supplies for the escort army's expedition. On the one hand, it gave them a livelihood, and on the other hand, the escort army's expedition place The huge logistics required were also supported.
Such a large number of civilians can quickly and massively transport huge amounts of military supplies to the war front.
After the road was repaired, the Yunzhou County Sheriff's Office began to prepare for the war. Since there were sufficient military supplies prepared in advance, all they had to do was transport all the prepared supplies to the front line.
At the same time, in addition to the 5,000 guard troops left behind, the remaining 20,000 guard troops, plus nearly 50,000 mercenaries, will serve as the main force of this war. They will arrive at the front line when the material transportation is halfway through, and start this war. battle.
When talking about 50,000 mercenaries, we have to talk about the fact that Yunzhou County discovered and allowed the tribes in Yunzhou County to plunder the Tatar population outside the county.
After several years of plundering, the tribes in Yunzhou County have accumulated a huge cavalry. Before, they could rely on human trafficking to support the extra cavalry of the tribe. However, after their plundering in the past five years, Yunzhou County has There are no large-scale tribes nearby anymore. Those scattered small tribes can only grab a few people and it is not worth it. The large tribes have long been robbed by them.
A little further away is closer to the core area of the Tatars. The strength of the Tatars there is not comparable to that of the Tatar tribes near Yunzhou County, and they do not have the courage to rob people anywhere.
As a result, the huge number of cavalry raised became a burden to each tribe and they could not afford it.
However, when Yunzhou County was about to set out to conquer new lands and recruited mercenaries as coercive troops for the escort, the tribal leaders instantly found a way to maintain these cavalry.
Let them join the mercenaries!
Therefore, as soon as a recruitment notice came out in the county governor's office, nearly 50,000 soldiers were immediately recruited for the escort.
When Zhao Jun finished translating the dictionary and left customs, the transportation of materials had already completed half of the expected quantity.
The army lieutenants began to march out.
After giving the dictionary to the civilian soldiers in the army to translate for them, Zhao Jun returned to the palace and began to coordinate and mobilize various supplies.
With his participation, the material transfer link that was still somewhat hindered was instantly cleared. With the king's orders, the entire material movement speed was at least 30% faster.
By the time 20,000 escort troops and 50,000 subordinate troops arrived at the front line, the early supplies were almost ready.
The armies began to replenish their equipment, including wartime rations and compressed biscuits, and the latest thirty-round repeating crossbows replaced the original twenty-round repeating crossbows.
Even the steel armor, which originally had strong defensive power, has been replaced by the newly developed alloy armor, which has taken the defense to a higher level, and this time the alloy armor is far more resistant to blunt weapons than the original fine iron armor. The walking armor is better and can withstand more damage.
Speaking of which, the emergence of this alloy armor is also full of drama. An apprentice in the iron smelting workshop accidentally mixed various ores together while dozing off, and finally forged a new alloy.
After learning the news, the workshop began to investigate everything that day, including the various ores placed in front of the apprentice, and then used the exhaustive method to restore the formula of this alloy. Only then did the latest alloy armor come into being. 's appearance.
After replenishing supplies, each army made slight corrections and began to march toward the mountain forest a few hundred steps away that had not been broken through in the end. This was to prevent the opponent from discovering it in advance and proposed not to break through. However, these few remaining steps A hundred steps would not stop the army's advance, so it didn't matter.
There was no war mobilization for this battle. Before the expedition, the captains of each team had clearly explained to all team members the importance of this war and the benefits it could bring to Yunzhou County.
Soldiers like them must be the first to participate in carving up the new land. This alone is enough to invigorate all the soldiers who long for land with fighting spirit!
Land, what a wonderful word!
That is the basis for survival, and there are large tracts of arable land waiting for them to seize!
Everyone is prepared to work extremely hard. As long as they conquer wherever they go, even if they die in battle, their families will get the land to survive because of them!
As the army marched, the obstacles of the last few hundred steps were cleared away, and then nearly 70,000 Yunzhou counties officially set foot on this land!
At this time, just in time for the winter wheat to mature, the golden wheat swayed in the fields, and from time to time there were natives harvesting in the fields.
The sudden appearance of these 70,000 troops instantly frightened the natives who were harvesting wheat.
Everyone no longer cared about harvesting wheat, dropped the stone sickles in their hands, and ran towards the city.
The moment they saw this large area of golden wheat, all the soldiers in the Song Dynasty, except those who had been living as nomads on the grasslands for generations, all the soldiers in Yunzhou County went crazy, and their eyes instantly turned red, scary and red. It makes people feel terrible!
"kill!"
There was no unnecessary nonsense, just the word "kill" was shouted out by someone unknown, and the next moment the sky was full of crossbow arrows covering the fleeing natives. In the blink of an eye, only a few hundred hedgehogs were left motionless.
The army ignored them and left the civilian men to clean up the battlefield. The rest of the soldiers reloaded their crossbows and rushed towards the city with red eyes!
Wherever they captured, they would truly have a foothold in this land, and then they could start their official conquest.
And the city they chose was none other than Calidu!
