Chapter 283: Revisiting the old place, skilled and daring
"The Commander-in-Chief."
Hongmei then reported another important event, "Since you left the border for more than half a year, our immigration work in the Dongtao Plain has generally been going smoothly."
"The main reason is that there are more and more refugees in the three northwestern provinces of Shanxi, which has become a serious hidden danger and a huge burden for the local government."
"The imperial court has not paid enough attention to this aspect, which has caused local governments to be extremely anxious and worried."
"After learning that someone was collecting a large number of refugees, they not only did not try to stop it, but they cooperated very well, as long as the refugees left their respective jurisdictions."
"Of course, there were also some officials who wanted to take advantage of the situation and make a fortune. They have been killed by the elite team sent by our Military Intelligence Bureau through various methods."
"With the full cooperation of our naval officers and soldiers, more than 500,000 refugees are transported to various bases outside the Great Wall every month using large fleets."
"Now, the total military and civilian population of our Guanwai Renaissance Army has exceeded three million, and is heading towards a scale of four million."
Hongmei then talked about one of Li Dingguo's most concerned issues, "As for agricultural production, it has long been on the right track. Now the total number of large farms covering an area of 10,000 mu that have been built has exceeded 1,000."
"This year's summer harvest and the upcoming autumn harvest have yielded a large amount of grain and other crops that we can't even eat up. We have completely achieved self-sufficiency."
"We in the Dongtao Plain have been affected by natural disasters, but the impact is not significant."
"After we built various water conservancy infrastructures for all the large farms and installed a large number of large water trucks, the various crops planted will no longer be affected by drought, ensuring a bumper harvest in summer and autumn without any problems."
Today, the Fuxing Army has become the only overlord-level force in the Dongtao Plain. With its powerful military force, the lives of the people here are like heaven and hell compared to the miserable lives of the people inside the Great Wall.
"Now that we have a large amount of manpower and material resources, our Fuxing Army outside the Great Wall is growing faster and faster."
A hint of joy flashed across Hongmei's face as she continued to report, "As of three days ago, the number of warrior recruits in all our current recruit camps has exceeded 200,000."
"The 130,000 warriors who have completed the recruit training have been assigned to the five major divine beast main battle corps and the personal guard corps."
"At present, the number of warriors in each of our six legions has reached 30,000!"
"Each soldier is fully equipped with two spiritual beast war horses, and their ability to maneuver and fight is strongly guaranteed."
"For the next battle along the riverbank outside the Wuding River Pass, we will divide two main battle legions of 60,000 soldiers to go there, which will be enough to complete this round of missions."
"There are at least thousands of talented warriors in each of the six current war corps."
"These talented warriors have now broken through to the third level of martial arts and serve as generals at all levels in various legions."
"Moreover, each of the main combat legions already has more than ten Qi Refining Realm generals who can fully unleash the power of the Military Dao Killing Formation."
"There is no human force in the entire vast Dongtao Plain that can pose a threat to us."
"It is estimated that in about a year, we should be able to completely eliminate all the Tatar tribes in this great plain, laying a solid foundation for us."
Not only Hongmei, but even Cao Yongxiang standing next to her could not have imagined that the development speed of their own Fuxing Army would be so fast.
After a year, they had the strength to directly go to war with the Later Jin Tartars.
Although the population of the Later Jin Tartars in this great world is in the tens of millions, their development speed and pattern are simply not comparable to that of the Fusion Army.
According to various intelligence gathered by the Military Intelligence Department, the total number of warriors and combatants of the Later Jin Tartar clan, including all new recruits added each year, is about three million.
Although their number of combat soldiers far exceeds that of the current Renaissance Army, their weapons and equipment and training resources are not as good as those of the Renaissance Army.
In another year, even the population of this revival army outside the Great Wall will inevitably grow to about 10 million, and even if the warriors and soldiers are constantly striving for perfection, the number will exceed 500,000.
With excellent equipment, abundant training resources, and large reserves of food and supplies, they may not be worse than the Later Jin Tartars.
At least defeating one of their main armies should not be a problem.
The main enemy of the Later Jin Tartars is the Ming Dynasty, so it is impossible for them to come out in full force to attack the Fuxing Army.
Now Cao Yongxiang and Hongmei have enough confidence in their hearts.
Don’t forget that on the southeast coast of the Ming Dynasty, there is also a revival navy that is developing faster and will be larger in the future.
A few years later, the Fuxing Army will advance by land and sea, and may be able to engage in a head-on battle with the Later Jin Tartars.
"Yeah, very good."
Li Dingguo nodded, looked at Cao Yongxiang and Hongmei who were sitting in front of him, thought for a moment, and said, "Since the local government in the Ming Dynasty not only did not prevent us from collecting and transferring a large number of refugees, but also cooperated very well, we must take advantage of this rare opportunity to increase the number of refugees as much as possible."
"Hongmei, discuss this with Cao Yongxiang, Wei Jinfan, and Chang Liyun and come up with a plan as soon as possible."
"We must at least triple the number of elite combat teams we send to the three northwestern provinces. The size and number of disguised merchant caravans must also be increased at least three times!"
"If we can bring in more than 10 million people from the interior of the country within the next year, the shortcomings that restrict the rapid development and growth of our Renaissance Army will be completely made up."
"By the end of next year, our Fuxing Army must be ready for the first head-on collision with the Later Jin Tartar army. A series of major battles will be inevitable."
Li Dingguo was quite clear about the thoughts of the tyrant Huang Taiji. Although the other party had stopped its attack and temporarily gave up the revenge action against Lingshan Island, it did not mean that the other party would just let it go.
He must be planning some big move. If he doesn't move, it's fine. But if he moves, he will fight to wipe out the Renaissance Army on Lingshan Island.
This time will definitely not exceed two years.
Since he was sufficiently wary of Huang Taiji, Li Dingguo would of course take advantage of this rare opportunity to develop and expand the Fuxing Army as much as possible.
Isn't it just about holding back a big move?
Who doesn’t know that?
In terms of their own development potential, they are far superior to the Later Jin Tartars, and there is no need to fear retaliation from the other side.
"Yes! Commander-in-Chief."...
Upon hearing Li Dingguo's order, Cao Yongxiang and Hongmei stood up suddenly and accepted the order solemnly.
It was already late, and it was already evening, so the two of them took their leave.
The direction they were heading was obviously the big pier on the island in the middle of the lake.
Cao Yongxiang and Hongmei are both level five masters now, and not having rest for several days and nights has no effect on them at all.
The two of them had to return to the military building on the edge of Linghu Lake at the source of the Jialu River as soon as possible to hold a military meeting of core generals, convey Li Dingguo's latest orders, make arrangements in a timely manner, and launch a new round of operations as soon as possible.
……
"Chirp!"
Following a soft eagle cry, a ray of golden light flew in from the northern sky, then slowed down and flew over Deshengbao, a fortress town north of Yansui Town.
The person who came was none other than Li Dingguo riding on a golden eagle.
The purpose of his trip was to go to the ancient battlefield 800 miles southeast of Desheng Fort and wipe out a large group of evil spirits entrenched there.
This morning, Wei Jinfan found Li Dingguo and reported this rather difficult matter to him.
The ghost area, located 800 miles away from Desheng Fort and not far from the official road beside Wuding River, posed a great obstacle to the soldiers' immigration work.
Because the large treasure ships of the Fuxing Army could not openly enter the interior of the country, they had been staying in the Jialu River outside the Great Wall to transfer the large number of people who had come from the Great Wall.
Now that Li Dingguo has announced a substantial increase in the scale of immigration within the Great Wall, relying solely on the Jialu River to transfer a large number of refugees coming from the long border line will cause many inconveniences.
Therefore, developing this new immigration route on the Wuding River has become a top priority.
This large ghost area eight hundred miles southeast of Desheng Fort has become a roadblock and must be moved away as soon as possible.
Otherwise, the large number of refugees coming from the interior would have to take a detour when passing this section of the road.
This was of course unbearable for Li Dingguo.
He has three innate magical artifacts to protect his body, so what he is least afraid of now is those evil spirits.
After all, the ghost's biggest killer weapon: mental attack and soul possession, had no effect on Li Dingguo.
Combined with his own martial arts form, the phantom of the Xuanhuang Chaos Bell, he launched a sonic attack specifically targeting the soul, which was the most effective killing move for all ghosts.
With great skills and courage, Li Dingguo is confident that he can completely wipe out this large ghost area even if he is alone.
His cultivation has now achieved another breakthrough. With Dajin's help, he will not be afraid of them even if he encounters a few peak level five monsters.
In order to eliminate this ghost domain as soon as possible, Li Dingguo thought about it for a while and decided to take action himself, so as not to delay the immigration work within the pass, which was currently in a very good situation.
"Well, this Desheng Castle is becoming more and more lively."
"The garrison commander here, Ma Ruhu, is a little greedy, but I have to say he is a business genius."
Two years later, he came to Victory Castle again. Looking at this border fortress town which was more than twice as prosperous as it was two years ago, he gave it a thumbs up.
It has to be said that Ma Ruhu, the garrison officer of Desheng Fort, is indeed a talent in internal affairs.
He was a coward, but after reaching a long-term trade agreement with various caravans of the Restoration Army, he became very successful and developed this fortress city into a prosperous one.
As far as Li Dingguo could see, the population in Desheng Fort had more than doubled.
It has attracted a large number of merchants from all over the country to settle down and do business.
It is important to do business. Even if Li Dingguo wants to go to Deshengbao, he has to complete the mission of this trip first.
Thousands of feet in the sky, Li Dingguo gave an order to the golden eagle, and then the speed of the golden eagle soared immediately and disappeared above Desheng Fort in an instant.
