The thief of the fortress dominates the world

Chapter 91 Expansion of the Fortress
It has been three days since he returned to Erlong Valley, and Jiang Chuan has been so busy these three days that he never touched the ground.First of all, resettlement of the more than 5000 people who followed was the top priority.

The existing dwellings are naturally not enough. Fortunately, it is summer, and they can temporarily live in tents.This time Jiangchuan seized a large number of tents from Liaoyang City, which was naturally enough to accommodate the people.

Originally, when Liu Ji saw the large number of people, he was overjoyed at first, and then frowned, because so many people needed to eat.

But when he saw the large amount of grain that Jiang Chuan sent over, his brows widened again.

With housing and food, the minds of these five thousand people quickly settled down, and they began to look at this new environment curiously.

In order to allow these people to integrate as soon as possible, Jiang Chuan sent people to invite Guan Sanye and Guan Hu to let them, the first batch of immigrants, communicate with these new residents more, so that they can better adapt to the new environment.

In short, Jiang Chuan gave a rough account of civil affairs and then handed over the rest to Liu Ji.

Through observation during this period of time, Liu Ji not only made great achievements in strategy, but also is really good at civil affairs management. Thousands of people under his care are considered stable and stable, without any major disturbances.

And Jiang Chuan only needs to be responsible for providing logistics, asking for money for money, asking for people to give, asking for supplies for supplies, and asking for food for food. These things are now sufficient, so basically Liu Ji is busy alone.Seeing Liu Ji's tired expression, Jiang Chuan also felt a little sorry.

Thinking back to the time when this military adviser was tied around his neck with a knife holder from the den of thieves, now that he is conscientious about his work, he feels a little embarrassed.

Of course, he also has his own affairs to be busy.

Although it was very majestic to go out this time, Tong Yangxing's 5000 men and horses were destroyed, 29 red cannons were seized, and there was a large amount of luggage. Captured a princess, no matter how you look at it, it was a great victory.

However, Jiang Chuan also knew that the pressure brought by this prestige would soon be revealed.

This time, I not only successfully attracted the attention of Man Qing, but also definitely attracted the attention of Ming Army.Although the Ming army is weak, it is not a fool. It will definitely find out what happened soon.

Jiang Chuan has a clear understanding of these consequences, so his most important work in the past few days is to expand the army again and reorganize the military equipment.

Only if you have enough self-protection ability, can you survive when the Eight Banners army comes for revenge.And Jiang Chuan believes that as long as he gets through this time, the situation he faces will be very different.

Therefore, after careful consideration, Jiang Chuan did three things: The first thing was to expand and renovate the village wall at Gukou.The original wall may be regarded as easy to defend and difficult to attack for a horse thief den, but it is not enough to face the attack of tens of thousands of troops.

Therefore, Jiang Chuan decided to make a comprehensive upgrade of the entire Taniguchi's defense this time, turning Taniguchi's defense into a fortress with tight defense and a truly impenetrable fortress.

Because the secrets of the system were involved, the entire Taniguchi location was blocked by a long wooden wall. Except for Jiang Chuan and the army, no one was allowed to enter or approach.

Jiang Chuan knew that with so many people coming and going, he would definitely leave a lot of traces, and his position would be discovered sooner or later, he was very clear about this.

It's just that he hoped that this day would come later, so he sent a large number of scouts in all directions, on the one hand to inquire about news, and on the other hand to hunt and block the scouts sent by the Qing army or the Ming army.

While keeping the internal and external secrets well, Jiang Chuan trained a thousand engineers from the systematic engineering battalion for construction.

The efficiency of these engineers is very high, unimaginably high, far beyond the efficiency that a natural person can achieve, so there is not a single commoner on the entire construction site to help, all are system engineers and other arms.

Under the super-efficient construction of these engineers, the outline of the entire Taniguchi Fortress is rapidly appearing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The second thing is to expand the army.With this large number of seizures and the surrender of more than 5000 people, Jiang Chuan expanded the number of crossbowmen to 3000 in one go, and all the equipment was upgraded.

All the crossbowmen are not only equipped with iron armor that can defend their vital parts, but also the short swords around their waists are replaced by long knives that make more use of close combat.

In future battles, these crossbowmen will be the main arms in defensive operations.

At the same time, Jiang Chuan's personal guards have also been expanded to a size of 1000 people, which is Jiang Chuan's core strength.Once the battle of defending the city occurs at that time, once the enemy attacks the city wall, the guards will be the last barrier on the city wall.

In addition, the spear team has also been expanded to 1000 people, and all the original equipment has been upgraded from leather armor to iron armor. It is also announced that long knives suitable for close combat are hung on the waist. The captured ones came in handy.

Spearmen are also an important force in melee combat. In the original system settings, spearmen without armor were used as cannon fodder, but after Jiang Chuan's change of equipment, they basically possessed the characteristics of heavy infantry.As long as it is trained well, it can be pulled out as a heavy infantry for field battles, or it can be used to defend the city.

In Jiang Chuan's eyes, there is no such thing as cannon fodder or trash. Everything can become the main force as long as there are enough supplies and equipment.

With the remaining remaining population, Jiang Chuan also expanded the number of heavy cavalry to 500, and no one was equipped with two war horses, one for riding in battle, and one for carrying heavy cavalry armor and weapons. Let them maintain more physical strength when fighting and charging.

The above-mentioned arms all need to occupy the total population. After being expanded by Jiang Chuan, the total population that was added this time is basically exhausted.

Fortunately, mercenaries do not need to occupy the total population, but they consume more honor points.

Fortunately, this victory gave Jiang Chuan a full 5 honor points, which was enough for Jiang Chuan to recruit more mercenaries again.

Therefore, Jiang Chuan expanded the cavalry archers to 5000 in one go, and the light cavalry to [-] as well.

Moreover, the [-] cavalry were re-armed with the large amount of Tartar equipment seized.All the cavalry are equipped with iron armor. Although the defense ability is insufficient compared with the heavy cavalry, the defense ability has been greatly improved compared to the past.

Moreover, all cavalry archers are also equipped with sabers, so they will not lose their combat effectiveness when close combat is necessary.

In Jiang Chuan's vision, all cavalry would eventually become all-round cavalry capable of both long-distance riding and shooting and melee charging.Of course, this requires long-term training, but this is one of his goals for strengthening the army in the future.

　The second one arrives.There is one more.
