Chapter 199 Go Westward
Li Hong turned his head and looked at a follower beside him. This person should be an official from Nanpi. Seeing Li Hong, he knew what he meant, nodded, and confirmed that the cavalry inside were indeed the Nanpi cavalry sent out earlier.

"Then why don't you let them come back to report." Li Hong asked.

"Will there be any difference in the result?" Meng Donglai asked back.

"The result..." Li Hong wanted to say that the result would definitely be different, but he couldn't say it in the middle of the sentence.

According to the normal operating procedures, after the cavalry team reports, Nanpi's army will go out of the city to "clean up", and then be defeated by Meng Donglai, and then he will be sent to support, and then..., the result will not be any different from now.

"Understood now? It wouldn't make a difference unless I was caught without a fight. But why should I be caught without a fight?"

Meng Donglai's question stopped Li Hong.

Yes, he is so powerful, why should he be caught without a fight?

"A treasure has been born in East County? What kind of treasure is it?" Li Hong changed the subject.

"I heard from the master that it should be an elixir that can be used to refine the elixir of life. The master did not explain what it is." Meng Dong said back and forth.

The apprentices are already so powerful, how strong does the master have to be.

Li Hong didn't dare to say anything tough.

"Allow me to report to His Majesty the Emperor."

"Yes, there are still two years before the birth of the treasure, I can wait." Meng Donglai nodded: "But there is one thing, the people in the camp outside the city need to eat, you can't stop me and Nanpi, and the people from the upper reaches of the Yellow River Other city trade."

"If you return the captives to us, you will be allowed to trade normally." Li Hong replied.

"Impossible." Meng Donglai resolutely refused: "If you want to return the captives and capture them, you can take them with a knife."

The tough attitude made Li Hong unable to say a word of threats.

"I need to report to His Majesty."

"Okay, I still say the same thing, the trade can't stop, otherwise I'll get it myself." Meng Donglai didn't compromise at all.

Li Hong didn't say anything more, and he didn't agree to Meng Donglai's request, he just turned around and left with the people.

However, after noon that day, the gate of Nanpi City was opened from the inside, and some local merchants came outside the camp to trade grains.

It seems that either Li Hong had lied before, or Li Hong's lieutenant general was incompetent, and he was not hanged when he returned with the result of the peace talks.

In the next month, Meng Donglai trained the star guards while using "Starry Sky" to teach them knowledge.

With the assistance of brain-computer and in-body chips, and the combination of real training and virtual teaching, all satellite satellites have achieved the training effect of more than one year.

After the previous wounded soldiers were treated, Meng Donglai selected 200 of them and expanded the number of star guards to 1000.

In terms of equipment, Meng Donglai used a pico printer to print some steel wire armor and triangular gun heads.

The steel wire armor is braided by high-strength alloy wires with a thickness of 0.1 mm. It has a high-necked autumn jacket style and can protect all the vital points of the body. Except for weaker protection against blunt weapons, it has no protection against sharp weapons and arrows. very powerful.

The three-edged gun head is 50 cm long including the hollow handle, the blade is 30 cm long, and the hollow handle is 20 cm long.With the gun barrel attached, it is a long gun that is invincible, and when the gun barrel is removed, it is a short blade that can be used for close combat.

With these two weapons, the combat effectiveness of the star guards has been greatly improved, and the migrating team set off to the west again.

The team passed through Nanpi smoothly, and the defenders in the city did not go out of the city to stop them, which made Meng Donglai a little relieved.

On the way to the west, probably because of the prestige, the people who dared to come and harass them disappeared completely. Meng Donglai also lost a source of income, so he could only rely on his previous savings to buy food along the way.

On New Year's Eve, the migration team arrived in Li County. Meng Donglai spent money to hire some boats to transport all the people to the south bank of the Yellow River.

On the fifth day of the first lunar month, the team arrived at Chengcheng and turned west along Jishui River.

On the [-]th day of the first lunar month, the Lantern Festival, finally arrived at Dayozawa, Fanyang County, Dongjun County.

The name Onezawa may be strange to people, but when it comes to Liang Shanbo, probably everyone knows it. Liang Shanbo in later generations is part of Onezawa.

In the Qin Dynasty, the water area of ​​Onozawa was larger than that in the Song Dynasty, and the size of the entire wetland was also more than ten times larger. There were lakes and swamps everywhere in a radius of hundreds of miles. The environment was harsh and uninhabited.

The environment was difficult, but in the hinterland of the Central Plains and the vast plains, this was the only place Meng Donglai could think of to start his life.

At the same time, this place also belongs to the East County, which is convenient for completing missions one and two.

After flying the drone in Onozawa for two days, Meng Donglai finally chose a place in the northwest of Onozawa.

To the east and south of this place is Juye Lake, a large lake with a radius of a hundred miles, and to the north is an undeveloped forest with a length and width of forty to fifty miles.

To the west is a small swamp, and to the west of the swamp is an area that has been developed by humans. There are three big cities not far away, namely Zhencheng, Duguan and Chengyang.

Meng Donglai made a simple pathfinder with rolling stones, and then had people push it forward, while the others lined up in two lines and tied each other with ropes to follow the pathfinder.

When the stone sank, I changed direction and went around. It took me two days to pass through the swamp and reach my destination.

This is a small hill, the highest point is more than 100 meters above sea level. The entire hill covers an area of ​​more than ten square kilometers, with dense vegetation on it.

After arriving at the destination, the entire migration team immediately started the construction mode.

Step [-]: Burn charcoal.

With the help of hacksaws, thousands of square meters of land were cleared in one day. The cleared weeds and shrubs were used as fuel, the thick wood was used as lumber waiting to be dried, and the fine wood was all burned into charcoal.

Step [-]: Burn the bricks.

Go to the side of Juyehu more than ten miles away to dig clay and transport it back to the camp, use charcoal as fuel, and wind refractory bricks.With refractory bricks, there are base materials for various other kilns.

The third step: iron smelting.

There is a hill between the camp and Fanyang City in the north, which is later called Taiqian County. It is located between Liangshan County and Yanggu County. This is a treasure county in Dongjun (Puyang). There are huge underground coal reserves and some small Iron ore and aluminum ore.

Meng Donglai sent Meng An to lead people to look for iron ore, and finally dug coal 40 meters underground and iron 50 meters underground.

With kilns, coal, and iron, the industrial revolution of the world officially began in the camp.

To commemorate this historic moment, Meng Donglai named the camp "Dragon City".

He will build a brand new city here, which is completely different from other cities in this era. This city will carry his goal for this world and realize it step by step.
