Chapter 749 Defense Arrangements
In the New World, the collection work of various cities and subsequent relief arrangements have long been formed into a system with stable steps and procedures.
Follow the process. As long as you are proficient, it is basically not difficult to operate. This means that Zhou Xu does not need to worry about the affairs of Xishan City and Anling City to a large extent.
But even so, he is still busy with the reports fed back from various cities and the documents sent from time to time from the Old Continent.
After processing the last document at hand, Zhou Xu collapsed in the imperial study room of the Xianyang City Palace. Zhou Xu stretched hard and then walked towards the imperial garden outside.
After living here for a while, he found that it made sense to have an imperial garden in this ancient palace.
Due to reviewing documents and reports, he had been sitting at his desk all morning and felt that his waist was stiff. The existence of the Royal Garden just gave him an activity to take a walk after work. , a place to rest and breathe.
But he was not just taking a walk. While walking, he was still thinking about development in his mind.
Right now, in the New World, the top priority is not only to solve the food problem and make this country self-sufficient as soon as possible, but also to recruit soldiers.
It is not to fight, but to garrison this city.
While ensuring the security of the city, preparations must also be made for other enemies that may be encountered later.
[There are a total of seven cities here, three internal cities, and a permanent force of 500 is still needed in each city, not only to maintain daily public security, but also to be able to respond in time during wartime. Provide support to border cities. 】
[As for the four border cities, no, they should be considered three border cities now. The location of Huangsha City has completely become an internal city after being connected to the Old Continent. At the same time, this position is under normal circumstances. Under this situation, it is basically unlikely to encounter any external enemies. 】
【So, the actual situation should be that each of the four internal cities is garrisoned with 500 troops, while the three border cities are garrisoned with 1,000 troops each, for a total of 5,000 troops. 】
Zhou Xu was thinking about this matter in his mind while taking a walk.
Of course, this troop arrangement is limited to defense, but whenever troops need to be sent out, this troop strength will definitely not be enough.
But this is not a problem for Zhou Xu.
Because in his opinion, the most important thing right now is to defend the country and engage in internal development, and he has no plans to take the initiative for the time being.
But we have to guard against possible enemies around us.
Not to mention anything else, if you go further out from the three cities of Green Forest City, Anling City and Feiyan City, it is obvious that there are still places that can be explored, or there are other forces.
The centaur mercenaries I learned about before are the best proof.
At this moment, Yan Sheng's territory has been conquered by him, and he has not seen any.
Later, he specifically asked Xie Liancheng and Li Bowen.
But their knowledge is very limited. They only know that such a mercenary exists.
After the war started here, Yan Sheng tried to contact the group of centaur mercenaries, but he never made contact. He blindly guessed that they had left this area.
After all, the centaur mercenaries only wanted to make war fortune. Yan Sheng had already unified this area. When the centaur mercenaries saw that they had no business for the time being, they naturally left.
It’s impossible to stay here forever, they also need to eat.
Under this premise, Zhou Xu asked Liancheng and Li Bowen how much they knew about other countries that existed on this land.
The two people's answers were very consistent. They knew that there should be other countries, but they had not contacted them.
From the current point of view, there is very little information, so it is the last word to develop in a low-key manner first. After returning to the imperial study, Zhou Xu immediately issued the recruitment order for the New World.
It can be regarded as providing a new position for the people here, and it is still a large position that can absorb 5,000 people.
After giving this order, looking at the new map spread out in front of him, Zhou Xu frowned and began to think about it.
There are currently three border cities. Considering the emergency, he cannot arrange for three reliable generals to be in charge?
A simple general who does not have sufficient ability to command troops and cannot take charge of his own affairs at critical moments will definitely not work.
For long-term garrisoning, the ability to command troops is the key.
"Shi Lei can be counted as one, Bai Tu? Do you want to count him?"
[Looking at the panel ability alone, there is no doubt that Bai Tu is qualified, but the problem now is that His achievements are not enough. Although he has recently captured Xishan City, the matter itself is not difficult. He is directly assigned to be the general at the edge of the town, fearing that some people will not accept it. 】
The former Patriot soldiers who followed Bai Tu and surrendered must support him, but it would obviously not be appropriate to let Bai Tu lead those Patriot soldiers to sit at the border all year round.
Thinking of this, Zhou Xu had an idea in mind, and then called Xie Liancheng over.
"Old Jie, please give me an accurate answer. What do you think? Do you want to continue to be a general on the battlefield? Or go home and take care of your children?"
Zhou Xu's question was a very straightforward question.
As an unparalleled five-star general with top combat power in the future, Zhou Xu would definitely be reluctant to let Xie Liancheng go back to take care of his children.
But as a brother who grew up together, Zhou Xu naturally had to consider his safety.
Charging on the battlefield is ultimately life-threatening, and his siblings don't want their husbands to bear this risk.
Of course, all this still depends on Xie Liancheng's own thoughts.
Zhou Xu knows very well that this guy has a bad temper, and it will definitely not work if he arranges for him without permission.
At this moment, facing Zhou Xu’s question, Xie Liancheng was stunned for a moment, and then spoke without hesitation...
"Hong Xu, you know very well that I have wanted to do this since I was a child. When the general asks me to go home and take care of my children, I will definitely not be able to stay."
At this point, Xie Liancheng, who was obviously thinking of something, quickly added.
"Oh, by the way, you are also clear about leading troops. I can't lead them, so you can arrange an official position for me that only requires hands-on work."
Before time traveling, Xie Liancheng was a martial arts practitioner. He said that he couldn't stay any longer, which was true, but at the same time, he had obviously considered his brother's situation.
The world here is not peaceful, and we don’t know how many powerful enemies we will encounter in the future.
And besides being able to fight, I have no other abilities, so how can I leave my brother alone and retire early to go home and raise my children?
After receiving this answer, Zhou Xu nodded, and he knew what was going on. After sorting out the thoughts in his mind, he wrote the appointment letter.
