Tales of the Reincarnated Lord

Chapter 350 Catapult, Artillery, and News

No one would have imagined that Kitano Jinguang, with a population of less than 30,000, received nearly 200,000 Golden Ford in advance. Tian "" Lai Novels⒉ Not only the funds for the reconstruction of the entire town’s residential area, but also the construction funds for public service facilities such as elementary schools, public squares, fountains, gardens, roads, drainage facilities and city wall defenses have all been resolved. , Makes Manager Speer delighted.

Because he found that under the circumstance that manpower and construction materials do not require large expenditures, almost half of the profits will flow into the family’s treasury. The reconstruction and development of a small town can earn the family nearly 300,000 Golden Ford. The fifteen towns of Leyuan and Xing'anyuan are expected to make families earn more than 4.5 million Golden Ford...

The chief executive of Kedan, who was in charge of the reconstruction and development of all the towns in the family territory, was not so optimistic. After a detailed investigation, he wrote a report to Loris. The report believes that the area of ​​the renovated Kitano Town will be more than doubled and will be repeated. The three villages were merged, and the population increased from the original 10,000 to 30,000, so he suggested upgrading the town to a city.

According to the survey report of Chief Kedan, the population growth of Kitano Town is firstly due to the peacefulness of the family territory in the past ten years, which has greatly increased the birth rate. There are basically two or three children in a family. Secondly, it is due to the continuous workshops in the family territory. The start of the establishment has made it easy for the young and strong laborers in the surrounding villages of Beiye Town to find work opportunities in the town. Therefore, he suggested that the 13 villages that originally belonged to Beiye Town should be merged into seven, and the vacant fields should be reorganized into small ones. The farm is modeled after a residential building in a town and sold to the local residents.

The leaders of Fengleyuan are really rich, and Chief Speer is right. The four-storey apartment-style building that was thought to be the most in demand, the 80-120 square meter housing that only needed 20 Kingford was rarely bought. Instead, there was a small garden in front of the three-storey spire with attic at the back. The supply of single small buildings in the courtyard is in short supply. It is necessary to know that one such small building requires more than sixty Golden Ford, only 960 sets, every 240 sets form a community, and the four communities form a large community. As a result, the real estate in this community quickly sold out. So Master Siropa changed the model again and set up three such communities again to meet the demand. Only the establishment of these four communities doubled the area of ​​Kitano Town.

Chief Kedan believes that most of the residents of Fengleyuan have family members in their families. The generous treatment and generous rewards as well as the tax relief for their family members have allowed their families to earn more than ten Golden Fortes a year. When buying a house, they were very confident. Some bought two sets just to wait for their children to come back and get married. There are also those wealthy leaders who set up workshops to do business. They even robbed the shops in the commercial district and the land in the expensive wealthy district.

Lorist adopted the proposal of the Chief Executive Officer of Kedan to merge the 13 villages of Kitano Town into seven, and convert the vacant fields into small farms for sale, but rejected the proposal to upgrade Kitano Town to a city. At Gellington Atlanta 6, a city means that the number of residents reaches 50,000, and it also has supporting public service facilities and a sound administrative organization. The reconstruction of Beiye Town was completed two years later, and its residents were more than 30,000. In the next few years, Lorist does not believe that the population will increase significantly, and perhaps some will be diverted.

The entire Northland will soon become the territory of the Norton family. Just as Fatty Shi said, seven Fengleyuan areas can be opened in the eastern and southern regions of the Northland, and the surrounding area will also belong to the Norton family’s sphere of influence, plus three more. In the area of ​​the allies, Lorist doesn't think there are any refugees that can fill the Northland. The vastness of the land and the sparse population have always been a portrayal of the Northland.

Dealing with administrative affairs, Lorist rushed to the eastern part of the Northland non-stop, where the newly formed Cavalry Regiment is now stationed here. As the commanders of the army, Josk and Yuri came to greet them and asked about their combat power in Lorist. At the time, Jost bluntly stated that only the 1st Cavalry Regiment has about 15,000 people who are currently fighting with the Fiesabrun family’s border ranger regiment, and the remaining three regiments still need a long time. The tempering of the people can get into battle. He and Yuri are ready to continue training in the winter, and strive to mobilize their hands after the beginning of the spring next year so that the Second Cavalry Regiment can also enter the battle.

Lorist expressed his satisfaction that he was able to form a cavalry regiment of 60,000 people in one year and give the first regiment combat effectiveness. At present, Xu Jin is not allowed to leave the Northland, and it is impossible for the Feisabrun family to know that Lorist has formed another light cavalry regiment. Then next year when the Flying Tiger Legion and the Rock Legion attack the Kingdom of Iberia and the Fei Sablon family fought in the Southern Province and Winston Province, the Cavalry Corps will become a sharp knife behind the Fei Sablon family. Swept the Muyeyuan Province, suppressed the power of the Feisabulun family in the Eastern Desolation Province and the Jinchuan area, and won the initiative on the battlefield in one fell swoop.

After leaving the Cavalry Regiment, Lorist went to inspect the Flying Tiger Legion and the Rock Legion that returned to the North. This time the imperial capital was captured, the Flying Tiger Legion fought a thousand miles, and the Rock Legion made 6 surprise attacks. The battle exploits and reputation are outstanding. The most important thing is The damage was extremely minor. After returning to the North, both legions are now resting, and they will once again be the main force in the family's armed attack next year when they attack the Iberian Kingdom.

The family knights present were all excited, but Oviz was unhappy. Lorist knew what was on his mind, because on the way back from the Flying Tigers, Lorist gave an order to ask Orviz to hand over the remaining four hundred and twenty catapults of the Perak Catapult to Kenmai. There were one hundred and fifty cars for the Si family, one hundred and twenty for Baron Felim, and one hundred for Baron Shahin. The rest of the catapults were all handed over to the guard battalion guarding the city of Kebo.

At present, there are people in Perak’s catapult and there is no catapult. This is the reason Ovius is in a bad mood. He really does not understand why Lorist will give the Perak’s catapult to others, even his family’s allies. This is the family's most powerful killer, and the journey to the imperial capital illustrates this point. The castle fortresses along the way can't stop the stone bomb attack of the Thunderbolt catapult, and all of them were smashed into ruins. If there were no catapults, I don't know how many loyal family soldiers would have to sacrifice their lives to conquer the castle fortresses armed to their teeth.

Lorist patted Oviz on the shoulder: "Don't you think that the distance your catapult hits is getting closer and closer?"

Orviz nodded: "Yes, my lord, I can usually project stone bullets with a distance of 400 meters. When I reach the imperial capital, I only throw a distance of 300 meters when I fight the Royal Guards. I always thought This is because the stone bullets are not standardized."

Lorist shook his head: "No, it's a problem with the catapult. The catapult is shot on spring steel plates, and the spring rigid plates are fatigued. The spring steel plates refined by Master Julian have been tested. The steel sheet will be deformed and twisted after being projected for about a thousand times. It is generally difficult to see with the naked eye. It can only be seen clearly only when it is removed. After these spring steel sheets are deformed and twisted, the distance of projecting stone bullets will be closer and closer. There is no other way than steel sheets.

Your thunderbolt sling battalion fought thousands of miles this time and made a great feat. These catapults also need to be overhauled after the expedition, but Baron Camora of the Armament and Logistics Department believes that the maintenance is worse than replacing them to save money. It is better to treat these catapults as a favor. Anyway, the three allies have already asked our family to provide them with this. The big killer can exchange money and favors for the family before it is scrapped. This is the best way to deal with these thunderbolt catapults, so I adopted the opinion of Baron Camora.

Go to Baron Camora. He has prepared five hundred new catapults for you. But next year you will attack the Iberian Kingdom. After you succeed, your Thunderbolt Catapult will serve as the defensive side most of the time, and even if the battle is over Later, your catapult should also be reserved for the guard battalion responsible for defense. "

"Will that give us a new batch?" Orviz said with joy.

"No, I will change you a batch of weapons that are better than catapults. It's just that to master this weapon requires a lot of hard work and effort from you. That thing is not easy to master, it takes a long time. Training and practice. But I promise, as long as you see their power, you will love it."

Lorist was talking about the bronze cannon used on the 6th, and he wanted to equip it to the legions immediately. However, the current bronze cannons are a bit uneconomical for the family's armed forces. The cost is too high. Every gun fired is money! Moreover, the thunderbolt catapult currently equipped by the family's armed forces is already the most advanced projectile weapon of the Big 6, unlike artillery, which is a few big silver coins. The stone bullets they throw can even be found on the spot, and no one regards these stones as treasures.

Some time ago, Master Sid, Master Farin and Master Julian were even more grateful after they received the canonization order. They put all their minds and bodies into innovation and production like a chicken blood, and then gave themselves a report saying yes. There is a new bronze alloy, if used to make artillery, it may reduce the cost by one-third, and the performance may be enhanced. It is currently undergoing intensive trial production. Once it succeeds, it is equivalent to the two previous bronze artillery pieces that can now be used to make three.

In fact, the cost of bronze artillery is not particularly expensive, but the gunpowder and projectiles it shoots are many times more expensive than the stone bullets fired by the catapult. Lorist's most urgent hope is that the cost of gunpowder can be drastically reduced, but this is only a good wish. Professor Bob of the Gunpowder Laboratory has not yet found a substitute for the saltpeter, so he can only rely on manure to slowly collect the nitrate and then purify it, which leads to the high cost of gunpowder.

The new bronze alloys of Master Sid and Master Julian have only one thing that Lorist’s attention is not to reduce the cost of the bronze artillery, but to reduce the weight of the bronze artillery, which allows it to be mounted on a chariot and move faster on the 6. There is a good foundation for movement and arrangement. Lorester believed that when Ović saw the artillery, he would throw the slingshot to nowhere, instead of being so reluctant to leave.

In a hurry to find Baron Camora and lead his new catapult, Oviz paid a knightly to Lorist and ran out of the account, but then he remembered something and returned: "His Royal Highness, I don’t I know if there is something the legion commander reported to you...I don't know if I should say..."

"What's the matter?"

"That's it. When the legion was in the imperial capital, didn't your majesty ask the legion commander for the catapult? After being sternly rejected by the legion commander, your majesty brought several scholars and craftsmen to my camp and copied the shape of the catapult. Structure. Because he is your majesty, I am not easy to stop, but then the legion commander scolded me and said that I shouldn't let them enter the camp. But he is your majesty, I dare not refuse, and then I ask for punishment. I wrote a report and handed it in. I wonder if the legion commander has handed it to you? After waiting so many days, the punishment has not come down..."

Lorist laughed. Tiger Rose reported this to him, but he didn't hand in Ovius' report, so he wanted to cover it up for him. It’s just that Lorester doesn’t care about this. Since the order of Ovix’s thunderbolt sling camp is naturally leaked, there is no shortage of smart people in this world. Some people can figure out the principle by looking at new things. Like magic, it is mysterious before it is revealed, and it is worthless after revealing the truth.

It doesn't matter whether the big beard of the top five and three rough faces of Ovix was born as a bandit, but he was a deserter before he fell into the grass, he was a former squad leader of the Christiansen team, and he was born in awe of the royal family. His Royal Highness used his status as a king to enter the barracks to spy on the secrets of the catapult, which was really not easy to stop. After all, he doesn't have the confidence of Tiger Ross, and he doesn't sell the face of the Second Highness.

"I see, even if they draw a picture, they can't make a catapult like ours, because they can't get the spring steel sheet, even if they get it, they can't copy it. This time I forgive you, Oviz, but I I don’t want to hear that there will be another time. Don’t forget that you are a knight of the Norton family, not your direct commander’s order. You don’t need to pay attention to it, even if he is the king. I handed you the Perak Tusk camp because of your loyalty and hard work. , Not your caution and caution..." Lorist said lightly.

Orviz's face flushed, and he snapped and stood at attention: "His Royal Highness, there will never be another one, I assure you ~www.readwn.com~ Very good, remember your guarantee, ask Camo Take the baron."

Lorester was a little depressed after he had beaten Oviz. This Second Highness is really shameless, and they all went directly to investigate the catapult of his family's big killer. Although he can't make a catapult like his own family, the principle is not difficult. I believe that a copycat version of the catapult will soon appear. In the future, the era of warring two sides throwing stones at each other is coming.

I just sat down and drank two sips of fragrant tea made by Schwartz, and saw the Tager wind appear in front of me: "His Royal Highness, it's not good, Lord Reddy was hunted down..."

Lorist raised his head abruptly: "What are you talking about? Didn't Reddy travel to the Four Duchy of Central? The next trip should be to Morient. What happened? Who is chasing him?"

"Uh, this..." Tagle said, "His Royal Highness, when Lord Reddy went to travel, the family was preparing to set up an intelligence network in the four central states, so I asked Lord Reddy to help me by the way and clear a few Snake rubbish. As a result, in the Principality of Handra, Lord Reddy encountered an emissary sent by Grand Duke Feisabrun when he started his hand, and that messenger knew Lord Reddy and identified him as a spy sent by our family. Lord Reddy one Killed the messenger in anger.

Now he is wanted and hunted down by the four principalities of central China. Lord Reddy killed several of them golden knights, the four central princes sent two first-class swordsmen to go, and Archduke Feisabrun sent Sandy's swordsman to avenge the messenger. Our intelligence investigators in the four central principalities have no way to rescue Lord Reddy, nor can they get involved. I only know that the last trace of Lord Reddy disappeared in the area of ​​Bailu Lake swamp..."

"Sendi Great Swordsman? Humph!" Lorist stood up angrily: "Get the horse, I'm going to find Reddy!"
