Chapter 30 [The Advent of Cement]

The Egret led the army heading east, rampaging across the land, with almost no presence and being a match for their army.

Even in this era.

Relatively large tribal groups have emerged, and they have entered the Bronze Age.

But what they faced was an Iron Age army armed to the teeth.

Let me ask you, how can those tribes be a match for the army of the Xinggu Dynasty?
The only end was being crushed by the army of the Xinggu Dynasty.

Any resistance was completely destroyed by the army led by Bai Lu.

Bai Lu's Eastern Expedition went very smoothly, but the army led by Long Ang was still blocked by the poisonous miasma in the south and could not cross it. However, Long Ang led the army to overcome the harsh environment in the south.

The 352th year of the Star Ancient Era.

Bai Lu marched eastward for 1,500 miles, but due to insufficient logistical supplies, chose to retreat back to the dynasty.

Long Ang is still overcoming the poisonous miasma problem in the southern land.

Summer of AD 355.

After five long years, Long Ang led the army to the south and overcame the poisonous miasma in the south. However, there were problems with logistics, so he had to withdraw his troops and return to the dynasty.

Yang Yu already knew about Long Ang's defeat and did not blame him.

Since then.

The Xinggu Dynasty chose to digest the territory it currently owned and did not expand outward.

The most important thing is to migrate the people to the occupied territories to survive.

Various preferential policies are also provided to the migrating people.

Anno 360.

The population of the Xinggu Dynasty has reached over 350 million and is still in a stage of recuperation.

Until AD 370.

"Your Majesty, I invite you to fight."

In the ruling hall, Bai Lu, who looked very old, looked at King Yu who was sitting in the supreme position, stood out from the queue and said respectfully.

He is already old.

But he didn't want to die in this comfortable life.

The battlefield is his destiny.

"Your Majesty, I invite you to fight."

At the same time, Long Ang also stood out from the queue and told the king his request.

"My dear, your body has already..."

Yang Yu hesitated to speak.

The truth is that Bai Lu and Long Ang are both old.

If you go to the battlefield, it's very easy for something to go wrong.

"Your Majesty, Bai Lu is old, can he still eat?"

"I, wish to use this decaying body to create more land for future generations to live on."

The egret's voice is as loud as a bell, sonorous and powerful.

"The battlefield, wrapped in horsehide, is the fate of us soldiers."

"I beg your Majesty to grant this."

Long Ang knelt on one knee with his fists clasped, looking at the king of the Xinggu Dynasty with burning eyes.

That's their king!
"I need to discuss this matter!"

Yang Yu pondered for a moment and said, "My dear ministers, what do you think?"

"Your Majesty, this is probably the long-cherished wish of the two generals. I beg Your Majesty to grant it."

Prime Minister Li Wen hesitated for a moment and expressed his support.

The two old generals have contributed too much to the court.

"Your Majesty, the imperial treasury is now abundant, and the imperial finances can support the two generals in their campaigns."

Finance Minister Liu Bing stepped out of the queue and said respectfully.

He also agreed.

Seeing this, Yang Yu nodded, his eyes fell on Bai Lu and Long Ang, and said, "Are you sure?"

"This time, I am confident that I can expand the territory of our ancient star by another thousand miles."

"The sun shines everywhere, all of which are the ancient soil of our planet."

Bai Lu said in a deep voice.

"Approved!" Seeing this, Yang Yu said in a deep voice: "Order Bai Lu, Long Ang, Lin Yang, the three generals of the imperial court, to lead 50,000 troops each, march east, pacify the south, and march west."

"promise!"

Hearing this, Lin Yang, who was in the queue and wearing military armor, showed joy in his eyes when he heard the king's words.

He thought that he had no share!

original.

The king has not forgotten him.

Summer of AD 360.

Bai Lu, Long Ang and Lin Feng, the three top giants of the court, each led 10,000 archers, 10,000 shield soldiers, 20,000 riflemen and 10,000 cavalry, and marched eastward to pacify the south and the west.

Since the Xinggu Dynasty had a very solid foundation, the entire expedition went very smoothly.

Winter of AD 360.

The army marched south for 350 miles. General Long Ang collapsed on the rugged and dangerous journey due to the long battle, but he still ordered the army to continue marching south.

Summer of 361 AD. One year later, bad news came from the army heading east.

The commander of the army, Marshal Bai Lu, died on the battlefield due to a sudden illness.

The army that marched eastward, under the command of the deputy general, chose to return to the capital.

This time.

The army heading east traveled through mountains and rivers, pushing the Xinggu Dynasty a total of another 1,300 kilometers eastward.

The egret fulfilled its long-cherished wish.

until 365.

All the troops that were away returned.

The territory of the Xinggu Dynasty reached a terrifying 7.49 million square kilometers.

However, the population is pitifully small.

Next.

The Xinggu Dynasty cabinet began to formulate the latest policies.

That is the next century-long development plan of the Xinggu Dynasty.

Anno 400.

The population of the Xinggu Dynasty reached more than 500 million.

The army size reached more than 35.

They are all elite troops.

and.

The border areas each dispatched more than 50,000 elite troops to garrison the border.

royal palace.

study.

Yang Yu frowned as he looked at the proposal on the table.

This is a proposal from the Prime Minister.

The proposal to cancel the city wall.

It facilitates the outward expansion of the city.

Cities limited the development of dynastic civilization.

If you want to develop, you have to abandon these ancient city walls so that the dynasty can thrive.

Yang Yu stroked his chin and murmured in a low voice: "Cancel the city wall? There is something!"

To know.

The abolition of urban development only began in the recent industrial age.

Hasn’t he ever thought about removing the city wall?

Thought about it.

But in this era, it is not appropriate to remove the city walls.

As a result, the first policy proposal made by this Prime Minister after taking office was to cancel the construction of city walls and vigorously develop streets and highways.

"system."

Yang Yu called softly.

"I know what you're thinking. It's not a time traveler."

The sound of the stars rang in his ears.

Then he fell silent.

A hint of embarrassment flashed across Yang Yu's face.

He almost thought that his newly appointed Prime Minister was a fellow villager from the future.

It seems that I was overthinking it.

"Your Majesty, the Minister of Science and Technology requests an audience."

at this time.

Huolong walked in from outside and said respectfully.

"Minister of Scientific Research Fang Hui wants to see you?"

Yang Yu fell into deep thought.

This is the second Minister of Science and Technology.

The first Minister of Science and Technology has long disappeared in the long river of history, dust to dust.

"allow."

Yang Yu said softly.

moment.

The second Minister of Scientific Research, Fang Hui, walked in from outside the study, looking dusty, and bowed respectfully towards Yang Yu.

"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you, Your Majesty."

Fang Wei immediately bowed to the king.

"My dear Fang, please excuse me."

Yang Yu supported him and said, "My dear, you are not in the research institute, why did you come to me? Are you in trouble?"

"Your Majesty, that is not the case!"

"While conducting research on a project, our research institute accidentally discovered that a kind of stone powder mixed with other stones, after being stirred with water, can actually solidify into an indestructible stone. I am here to report this to Your Majesty..."
