Chapter 165 The Corrupted Daijun

　　 When the internal building facilities of the Red Mountain Fort became more and more perfect, Hong Ji decisively ordered that the Red Mountain Fort base began to expand radially to the outside area.

　　 Take the nearest valley below the peak of Hongshanbao as an example. Hongji mobilized a large number of civilians to build a new border wall to block the valley.

　　 The absolute control area of ​​the original Red Mountain Fort was limited to the present main Red Mountain Fort base on the mountainside. But once this new valley boundary wall is repaired, the road and land in this entire valley will be included in the influence map of Red Mountain Fort.

　　 Hong Ji doesn't like those nominal territories. In Hong Ji's understanding, only an area that can be absolutely controlled by herself and exercised absolute sovereignty can be regarded as a real territory.

　　 For example, this place in the Red Mountain Region is known as the fief of Tuoba Feng, the master of the Red Mountain Sword Sect. But in today's Red Mountain Fort, are his Tuoba Feng's orders and the orders of the Red Mountain Sword Sect work?

　　 In the influence map of Red Mountain Fort, Hong Ji's command is the absolute truth. So what Tuobafeng, what Red Mountain Sword Sect, do I know you?

　　 Hong Ji only values ​​the actual benefits. It is not difficult to see from the way Hong Ji develops the map of the Red Mountain Fort under her command.

　　 step by step, fortification of the mountains around the Red Mountain Fort. Where the fortress of Red Mountain Fort is built in the future and where the border wall of Red Mountain Fort is built, Hong Ji’s site will be where she will be.

　　In this era without large-scale construction machinery, the amount of labor determines the expansion speed of the Hongshanbao base.

　　 And now, in addition to the need for a new border wall, Hongji needs to build a stone path in the valley territory that was first planned. Stone roads, as the name suggests, are roads entirely paved with stone slabs.

　　 As the saying goes, to get rich first build roads. The development of Hongshan Fort is inseparable from the continuous supply of external resources. In resource mining areas such as iron ore, copper ore, and coal mines, the nearest one is more than 20 miles away from Hongshanbao.

　　 In the past, the Red Mountain Guards escorted ore resources back to Red Mountain Fort, and the roads along the way were rugged and uneven.

　　Under normal circumstances, a horse can only travel for less than half a day, and it will take at least one to two days to switch to a heavy carriage.

　　 The inefficient transportation is extremely inconsistent with Hongji's development requirements, so even though the labor force in various departments of Hongshan Fort is already highly strained, Hongji still places road construction second only to the construction of the border wall.

　　 After that, the newly planned new area of ​​the smelting plant can even be postponed slightly.

　　 Of course, in terms of labor, besides reducing expenditure, the most important thing is to increase income.

　　 Hongshan Fort now has a total population of nearly three thousand people, of which one thousand belong to the combat establishment. Usually they only need to maintain daily training. In war, they need to be up to the front and work hard.

　　 If these thousand people are removed, there is a team of nearly a hundred craftsmen in the Red Mountain Fort. The main task of these people is to turn the mechanical drawings handed by Hong Ji into real objects.

　　 There are only about 1,900 workers actually used for siege construction.

　　 One thousand nine hundred people, without the aid of large-scale machinery, had to build city walls and dozens of miles of new stone roads. It was just a drop in the bucket.

　　 Therefore, Red Mountain Fort still needs to continue to recruit troops.

　　 With the rations of Lu Guojun's soldiers captured this time as a backing, Hong Ji can rest assured and boldly expand the manpower. Don't worry about not being able to support it.

　　 What's different from the past is that Red Mountain Fort now has a better external environment. The interior of Lu Guodai County is now a mess.

　　 Three groups of fugitive slave forces are raging, slaughtering and destroying households everywhere; the evil forces and gangs in the original county have oppressed the good and took advantage of the fire. The entire Dai County, from the wealthy officials to the common people, is in dire straits.

　　The newly arrived Daijun commander intends to gather the remnants of Daijun soldiers, suppress the fugitive rebellion, and restore the original ruling order of Lu Kingdom in Daijun.

　　 The three T-3000 mechanical bodies that could be left by Hong Ji in Daijun did not stop their assassination.

　　 The death of a large number of military and political officials of the prefecture on the front line made it impossible for the new commander of the prefecture to issue the county seat.

　　 The house leak happened in the evening rain. It was in such a chaotic situation that a group of forces appeared in Daijun to play the banner of the former royal family.

The predecessor of 　　daijun was Daiguo, and it was only because of the destruction of Daiguo that the country of Lu became a county of its own.

　　 This force under the banner of the imperial family grew rapidly in a short period of time. It was only because Lu Guo controlled Daijun for a short time, and most of the older generations were still there. Those people still cherish the memory of their homeland and are hostile to Lu Guo. It was only because Lu State levied high taxes on Daijun to support Lu State’s expansionary war.

　　 The hardship of the people in life is naturally dissatisfied with the ruling class of the Lv state, coupled with the erosion of the internal form of the current county, the Lv state's delay in solving this problem has aggravated the resentment among the people of the county.

　　 It is because of the mentality of the people of the county at this time that someone took advantage of the situation to play the banner of the former royal family ~lightnovelpub.net~ and quickly gathered an army of tens of thousands of refugees.

　　 This group of refugees said it was an army, but in fact it was a bandit. Its leader only expanded his strength by using the name of the former royal family.

　　 Nothing grows in this refugee army. In addition to grabbing money and food, they also grab people!

　　Forcing the good as a bandit!

　　 Originally it was just such a mob, the new generation county commander could command the generation county soldiers to annihilate them with a wave of his hand. Now in his hands, in addition to the five thousand county soldiers that Ruan Dan had left to guard the county at the beginning, nearly 15,000 soldiers from the Red Mountain Region that were scattered behind one after another ran back.

　　 It was supposed to be able to escape back to 20,000 people, but there are still 5,000 people who did not know whether they were deserters or died at the mouth of the beasts of the Red Mountain Region. In these lives, there are no dead or dead. The new generation county commander did not actually express much hope in his heart that the five thousand county soldiers would be able to return in the future.

　　 Moreover, even the more than 5,000 county soldiers who have fled back now are in a very bad state.

　　 The new generation county commander discovered that most of the county soldiers who had fled back were pale and weak, and frequent severe coughs were often accompanied by blood stains.

　　 A look that was only half a breath away from death.

　　 "These county soldiers are temporarily abolished, and if I can't leave the county seat now, it must be Hong Ji's subordinates secretly making a ghost!"

　　The new generation county commander frowned and his mood was low.

　　The news that the ruling center of the three counties of the Dai county was assassinated at the same time has long been known to him.

　　 This is a piece of news that is extremely unfavorable to their Lu Guo, which shows that in addition to Hong Ji, Red Mountain Fort has at least three masters who are proficient in disguise and assassination methods!

　　 "Could it be that Hong Ji is really a certain princess of the Great Zhou royal family, as the outside rumors say?"
