Chapter 1379 Are You Really Leaving? !
The Plain Fortress was converted from the Plain City of the original Liang Kingdom.
When the city was captured by Green Skin, it almost turned into a ruin. After defeating the invading Green Skin and recapturing the city, they simply converted it into a border fortress during the reconstruction process to prevent and prepare. There is a green skin that may invade at any time.
Because the threat of green skin was too great for the Great Zhou Dynasty at that time.
When they built this plain fortress, they spared no effort. The specifications of the entire fortress were definitely the highest even if they looked at the entire Great Zhou!
In the subsequent process of continuous reinforcement and strengthening, the height of the protective wall of the plain fortress has reached twenty meters, majestic and towering!
At the same time, a large number of city-proof crossbows were deployed above each wall. In addition, city-proof explosion vehicles were also arranged behind the high wall.
If Green Skin dares to attack, this defensive facility alone will be enough for them to drink.
In addition, large-scale crossbow soldiers were deployed in the fortress.
Don’t forget that after the development of individual crossbows, they were first assigned to the Plain Fortress to resist the invasion of green skins. The formation of crossbow troops on the Northeast Fortress was a matter of later.
After entering the Plain Fortress, Zhou Xu and Shi Lei chatted while conducting a simple inspection of the Plain Fortress, which can be regarded as a reminiscing of the old and honest affairs.
During this inspection, Zhou Xu was actually thinking about the next military deployment.
The construction specifications of the plain fortress were so high, mainly to prevent the invasion of Greenskin. But now, the long-term war between the Greenskin camp and the coalition forces has entered the final stage.
Simply put, it is the threat from green skin. Even though it has not yet reached the point where it can be ignored directly, it has dropped significantly.
In this way, there is no need to build such a big battle on the Plain Fortress. After all, the military expenditure is quite large every year.
But they can't cut it to the end. The scale here must be well grasped, after all, there are dwarves from the copper furnace castle next door.
Although they maintain good diplomatic relations with the dwarves of the Copper Fort at this stage, the cooperation is even more close.
But after all, it's not a family, and no one can guarantee that there will be no accident between them.
Especially at the banquet some time ago, Otto Copper Lun, King of Copper Lun, did not show up throughout the whole process.
Combined with limited intelligence, Zhou Xu always wondered whether Otto Copper Furnace would be dead.
The death of the old king and the ascension of the new king will always be accompanied by various situations, and some diplomatic relations must also be re-examined.
There will be no problems at that time.
The distance between the Copper Fortress and the Plain Fortress is too close. It is no exaggeration to say that once the other party takes action, it only takes half a day for the Copper Fortress dwarves to suppress the periphery of their Plain Fortress!
From the perspective of allies, Zhou Xu could give some trust to the dwarves of the Copper Fort, but as the ruler of the Great Zhou, he had to consider various situations and be prepared.
After conducting a simple inspection of the Plain Fortress, Zhou Xu also found an opportunity to briefly discuss this matter with Shi Lei.
"That information was received before..."
As the commander-in-chief of New Taipei District, Shi Lei obviously could not have been unaware of the Otto Copper Furnace. He undoubtedly had some speculations about this situation, and it can even be said that he was prepared for it.
"I'll feel at ease with you."
While speaking, Zhou Xu patted the other person on the shoulder, and Shi Lei's calmness made him feel at ease.
"Thanks to His Majesty's trust! I will do my best to guard the plains fortress! Ensure the peace of the border between our Great Zhou and one side!"
Speaking of this, Shi Lei paused, glanced at the sky, and confirmed the time.
"Your Majesty, the last general has some military affairs to deal with next, so he has to take his leave first."
"You guy."
Hearing this, Zhou Xu felt a little amused, and then shook his hand at him with disgust.
"Go and go, I'll leave later, it won't affect your work."
"Then you will be back!"
After saying that, Shi Lei also moved quickly and turned around and left.
【Good guy, are you really leaving? ! 】
For a moment, even Zhou Xu didn't know whether he should be stunned or said he was straight.
Later, when he thought about it, Shi Lei was indeed of this kind of personality. If he hadn't been of this kind, he wouldn't have trusted him so much.
However, before leaving, Shi Lei left him a personal soldier to obey the orders.
At this moment, the personal soldiers who had witnessed the whole process stood by the side, and they were sweating profusely. When they noticed that Zhou Xu's gaze fell on him, it felt like a light on his back, a thorn in his throat, and a needle and needle felt...
[The general is so stunned. It’s okay if you love work on weekdays. Now His Majesty is here, and he actually left His Majesty here and went to work by himself? ! 】
The conscience of heaven and earth, when Shi Lei handed over the matter to him, everyone was stunned.
Zhou Xu was calm now.
The area of the plain fortress is not small, no less than a small city, but there are not many places that need to be inspected.
After a round, Zhou Xu planned to go to the rear city to take a look.
He hasn't visited the city in New Taipei District since it was too remote, and the transportation is not convenient now. Now it is rare to come here, so there is no reason not to take this opportunity to take a look around.
Also because of the location too remote and inconvenient transportation, the overall development of New Taipei District is relatively backward.
However, the large-scale construction in the early years has laid a foundation for the later development of New Taipei District in advance. Just by waiting for the railway transportation to be opened, the development here will be brought in immediately.
In today's New Taipei District, the original city should be demolished and merged.
Aside from the plain city that has been changed to a fortress, there are now three cities in the New Taipei District, namely Daliang City, Yuancheng and Shanguan City.
These three cities are distributed in triangles. Once the plain fortress is broken and the enemy attacks in, these three cities can support each other with this distribution advantage, and restrain the enemy's offensive.
The smallest one is Shanguan City, but even so, the city area can be considered medium-sized across the entire Great Zhou, and it is definitely not a small city.
At the same time, as long as you pass through Shanguan City, you can directly lead to Anling City located in Xinnan District and enter Xinnan District.
Therefore, this city is still located on the main traffic road of their Great Zhou. Once it enters war, it is also a strategic location!
In addition, Daliang City, as the capital of the Liang Kingdom, should have been the best developed city.
However, after being incorporated into the Great Zhou Dynasty, Zhou Xu believed that the location of Daliang City was too inner, and the back road was still blocked, and there was no room for development inside. Whether from the perspective of economic development or strategic perspective, Daliang The location of the city is not a good one.
This also led to the economic center of New Taipei District gradually shifting to Yuancheng, which is the central city here in the following years.
Now Yuancheng is the best developed city in New Taipei District. At the same time, among all the cities in the Great Zhou Dynasty, Yuancheng in New Taipei District can steadily rank in the top three compared with the city area alone.
At present, the only one that can surpass Yuancheng in the city area is Heiyue City, the capital of the Great Zhou Dynasty. After that, the area of Xianyang City and Yuancheng is half a pound, and it is difficult to say which city is larger for the time being.
