The second month after Xiang Wei left, a large convoy arrived at the boundary river defense line.
This is the first batch of weapons and equipment delivered to Longshan by Xiangjia. The quantity is enough to arm a division!
Song Ziyu was surprised by Xiang Jia's sincerity.
After all, according to his plan, if he wants to complete this transaction, it will take at least a few months.
I didn't expect them to deliver the goods so readily.
This really surprised Song Ziyu.
The arms were quickly delivered to Longshan, and Song Ziyu led a large number of people to inspect them.
Although after inspection and evaluation by Zuo Zhen, Yu Ke and other senior officers from the former Northern Steel Alliance, they all agreed that this batch of weapons and equipment was semi-old and not worthy of the expectations... In other words, this was a substandard product. of.
But Song Ziyu accepted it happily.
The Xiang family and the powerful officials of the Steel Alliance behind them must have thought that they had made a profit, but this was not the case.
They won't know who the winner is until the evil fruit blooms.
…???????????????…
Song Ziyu is now a little hungry because a large number of newly expanded troops under his command are in urgent need of equipment.
At this juncture, Song Ziyu didn’t care whether it was half-old or half-new.
I need these weapons and ammunition so much now.
At present, Song Ziyu has completed the integration of the major forces in Longshan, and his troops have exceeded nearly 10,000 people.
Among them, there are more than 3,000 elite Longshan soldiers, more than 3,000 slave soldiers who are cultivating wasteland and improving their homes, and nearly 4,000 old troops of the Third Division.
The total number of these three armies is ten thousand!
In addition, there are thousands of reserve soldiers with combat experience in addition to the regular army!
These people receive a certain amount of military training, but they usually shine in the fields of construction, agriculture, and urban defense. As long as there is a need for combat, they can be replenished into the army at any time...
Further to the periphery, there are the tribes under the banner of the Wasteland Alliance Army under the major settlements!
This group of people was larger in number, totaling tens of thousands.
The skills of these summoned coalition troops were so-so, but they were better because they were more numerous and obedient. Song Ziyu regarded these "allies" as objects that could be attracted.
…
However!
Although Song Ziyu now has strong troops and horses, and has become the overlord of Tuodi Wasteland, there are still many, many problems, and they are very fatal.
If the foundation built by Song Ziyu in Tuodi Wasteland is viewed from the perspective of a development game, then the "regime" established in Longshan can definitely be described as militaristic.
In a settlement of tens of thousands of people, there are actually 10,000 regular troops and several thousand reserves.
All the young and middle-aged labor force in Emotional Longshan are serving the army.
This is very abnormal!
Song Ziyu couldn't help but sigh.
I recall that although the Yuxia Kingdom was in a peaceful era, the number of regular troops in this large country with a population of 1.4 billion remained at around 4 million all year round.
After Hirayama-kun took over the throne, he presided over several military reforms, and the regular military strength dropped to 2.3 million.
The ratio of 2.3 million troops supported by 1.4 billion people is completely different from the 10,000-odd soldiers supported by 780,000 people.
Although my current situation seems very beautiful, it is actually sitting in the crater of a volcano.
Once this volcano erupts, it might destroy everything.
It is precisely because of this that Song Ziyu is in great need of this batch of weapons and equipment.
With this batch of weapons and equipment, Song Ziyu's Western Expedition can be put on the agenda.
Expedition to the west, this is the only effective way for Song Ziyu to resolve all internal conflicts.
The wasteland is too poor to support many soldiers.
There are many powerful enemies in the east. To the east of the boundary river is the wasteland of the Gongsun family, to the east is the Northern Steel Alliance, and to the east is the powerful and mysterious Federation...
If you want to survive, you can only open up soil to the west.
certainly!
Before the Western Expedition, I still need to make some mobilization and personnel adjustments.
The current rule under Song Ziyu is maintained between several major factions.
These major factions are like several pillars, supporting the structure of the entire group and preventing Song Ziyu's rule from collapsing.
The biggest pillar among them is the Longshan local faction.
The local factions have mixed elements, including the forces of the old three giants.
This is the first force that Song Ziyu incorporated and integrated!
Their biggest characteristic is that they are native Longshan people. They have very strong feelings for this homeland and have the highest loyalty.
Followed by Tang Jian, Chen Tianxing and others recruited by Song Ziyu, as well as the hunter teams he recruited one after another.
Because of the split of the Bounty Hunter Association, this group of people became fatherless children and could only take root in Longshan.
The above two groups of people have cooperated for a long time, and we share weal and woe, forming the core of Longshan Soldiers... a direct lineage that Song Ziyu can rely on.
In addition to the local Longshan faction, the second group of forces was the slave army brought by Song Ziyu from Miluo City State.
Most of these slaves were stragglers. They were originally tied together because of the force of the situation. Now they have found the promised land of survival, and many of them are making a living and living a stable life.
Because of this, this group of people may value Longshan's home very much, so these people are also forces that Song Ziyu can mobilize at will.
As for the surrender of troops and generals of the third division of the third pillar, Song Ziyu was most concerned about it.
This group of people is large in number and very elite, and most of them are professional soldiers who have fought in hundreds of battles!
If this group of people can be integrated and used for their own use, it will definitely be excellent.
But for now, Song Ziyu's loyalty to this group of people is questionable.
It takes time and energy to influence them and make them realize their identity.
Moreover, many of these soldiers were dissatisfied with him. After all, he had killed many of them!
If you are not careful in management, you may suffer backlash...
Therefore, Song Ziyu maintained due caution towards this group of people.
But Song Ziyu always believed that he would eventually take these people under his command by beating the eagle.
…
In addition to these three "pillars", there are a group of "constructionists" under Soong Ziyu who are full of scientific research spirit and reform spirit.
The force of these people can be ignored, but their role cannot be ignored.
This includes many scholars who migrated from the Baishi settlement, headed by Bai Xun and Bai Shaoqing. These people are responsible for the popularization of urban culture education, the construction of arsenals, the design of industrial infrastructure, urban planning and many other matters. They are the proud leaders of Longshan. Vital blood.
Then there are Professor Chen Youping and his newly trained group of students engaged in agricultural production and agricultural improvement.
These people are committed to feeding the people of Longshan and Tuodi Wasteland, and they are also an important factor in the success of Song Ziyu's entire ruling framework!
Third, it was a group of internal affairs managers headed by Gao Zhongping and Gongsun Wan'er.
These people are responsible for municipal construction and government affairs, especially Gongsun Wan'er. She is responsible for the internal affairs department and assumes the position of "mayor" of the city, fully fulfilling her duties. Mobilize resources to stabilize people's livelihood.
In addition, around Longshan, there are a large group of settlements with centripetal force. These settlements are now following the lead of Longshan...
Finished!
Song Ziyu recorded these people and factions in a small book, and then he realized that so many people were united around him.
It is precisely because of the collective efforts of these people that we are where we are today.
…
In order to successfully complete the Western Expedition, Song Ziyu needed to mobilize within the Tuodi Wasteland to maintain his rule while assembling the largest possible number of troops.
In Song Ziyu's view, his westward expedition to Miluo City was not only to liberate the humans who were enslaved by zombies in Miluo City, but also had a deeper consideration.
As an out-and-out Nandu native, Song Ziyu didn’t know much about the wilderness.
How to develop this area of the wasteland? I can't make many profound achievements.
Moreover, the wasteland is too poor to support many armies and cannot build modernization.
But it’s different in the city-state of Milo!
I know a lot of things myself!
For example...
There were industrial cities in the old era, military garrison in the old era, industrial parks in the old era, etc...
As long as he conquers Miluo City and relies on his memory of Nandu, he may even build a complete industrial system on the ruins!
Once this idea succeeds, it won't take many years in the future for human civilization to be reborn in this wasteland!
This is Song Ziyu’s true ideal!
Life is not about taking things easy, it is about distance and ambition.
This belief filled Song Ziyu's heart and made Song Ziyu full of motivation.
However……
Just when Song Ziyu was ambitiously preparing for his great career.
News came from a distance that made Song Ziyu's heart ache.
