Chapter 764： Construction of Wucheng

  Chapter 764 Building Wucheng

   At 5:00 pm on April 21, the fourth year of Tianxuan, Qu Mao went to Wucheng Port and the proposed construction site of Wucheng, and went to the mountain to conduct field surveys.

That night, Sylvia Ocean, Zhao Pan, and Chafidel led a total of 15,000 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 50,000, 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 15,000 navy, it means that at dawn on April 22 in the fourth year of Tianxuan, Shanks Reid and Christine Slian will need to transport another 35,000 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 long since it was taken.

  Although the surrounding area is sparsely populated, don't be too careless about everything.

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

   Especially 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 has no intuitive feeling for a city that accommodates several million or even tens of millions of soldiers. The King City of Liusu Duke usually accommodates a population of 3 million, but the side length has actually 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.

  Following up, 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 while 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 22nd 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. The amount of construction work for the city wall would be reduced a lot.

  At the same time, Wucheng Port can be extended to at least six kilometers deep into the coastline, and the coastline length of Wucheng Port can be shortened to about 2 kilometers in an instant. If it is built to extend the coastline to three kilometers, it will definitely be more than enough.

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 are also hurrying to build a temporary dock. The temporary dock will be a very important preliminary construction before the dock 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 restoration of production in the main continent, the Duchy of Tassels and the Six Great Marquises, Qu Mao believes that Su Yan can solve this problem well, and the Duchy of Tassels and the Six Great Marquises 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 focus on the army's reorganization. Now that the population base is large, the army's expansion speed will be much faster. As for high-level fighters, as long as the cheating value is enough, Qu Mao will not be short.

At about nine o'clock in the morning on April 22nd in the fourth year of Tianxuan, Shanks Reed and Christine Sirian moored to the temporary pier at the construction site of Wucheng Port, with a total of 10,000 naval soldiers and 5,000 army troops. Soldiers, 1,500 craftsmen, and 3,500 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 1,000 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 will take a certain amount of time for construction personnel to come over.

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 workers arrives.

The first batch of arrivals can't 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. .

  Wucheng will be built in the future, and the problem of fresh water accumulation must also be solved. After all, it will accommodate millions or even tens of millions of troops.

  In several naturally existing freshwater ponds, there is a high probability that the accumulated freshwater is not enough for the daily drinking of millions of troops.

  Zhao Pan, Chafidel, and Sylvia Oshin are also very dedicated to the construction of Wucheng Port and Wucheng. The three of them are even discussing to move the main force of the navy and army here in advance.

  On April 24, the fourth year of Tianxuan, Qu Mao left the Wucheng construction site on a returning super warship after welcoming the second batch of 80,000 construction personnel.
