【123】Fire of Civilization(1/2)
The next day.
Zhou Li'an met several students from Niu Shi, who were also the guides who led the army back this time.
They repeated what Niu Shi said in the letter.
I hope that my lord can guide them to go out again, join the army, and continue to make contributions and glory to our lord's balance.
Zhou Li'an did not refuse, nor did he let them set off immediately.
The cavalry army was short of 200 men, but it was not broken.
And if we want to send out follow-up troops, 200 people would be too meager.
The first expedition of Balance not only completed the increase in population and the unification of North America, but also accumulated experience for the subsequent second and third expeditions.
In a conquest of South America, 6,000 people seem insignificant.
Nowadays, various ministries are arriving one after another, with unlimited combat power, so why not send out a large army to speed up the conquest and at the same time hone and forge more armies?
Cow shit has trained several talents who practice positioning skills, and Zhou Li'an doesn't want to waste it.
So Zhou Li'an gathered all the people and performed miracles in front of everyone. He rewarded these 200 cavalry with clothes, fine wine and weapons, and also named their children.
With the material and spiritual rewards, and the cheers and praises from all the people, it was like experiencing a baptism of souls, making their faith even more fanatical.
Later, Zhou Li'an issued a decree to 200 people outside the temple, "Select warriors from each department and conduct riding training. Once you are familiar with riding skills, battle formations, military regulations and command whistles, you will gather 4,000 troops and go out again."
The balanced cavalry is already an invincible existence, and now there are tens of thousands of cavalry troops. They only listen to the decree, and the blood of the more than 200 cavalry is boiling, looking forward to the day when they will sweep across the earth.
The selection started soon.
Warriors from all tribes compete in a fair and just manner, and the strongest one is selected.
The establishment of the new army can also help the integration of various departments. A small group of strong young people have joined the army, spreading the balanced language rules in the army, and practicing positioning methods with several students of bull shit.
As long as they survive this trip, they will all be the seeds of legion generals in the future.
And 4,000 troops came to fight again.
Zhou Li'an does not intend to use the war horses in Owens Valley. Those war horses still need to grow up and multiply to accumulate strength for the subsequent expedition to South America.
New war horses can be purchased from the present world, and 4,000 people can ride in pairs to go on an expedition. 8,000 horses is just a small thing.
There are so many horses in the United States today that horse meat is sold in all major supermarkets.
Nowadays, there are toolmen who come forward to purchase horses. Zhou Li'an himself does not need to show his face. He only needs to go to pick up the goods after the purchase.
Still sitting in the balanced time and space for 7 days.
Before leaving, go to Owens Valley for inspection.
Finally, cross over and leave.
Time accelerates on.
…
Equilibrium 6 years, August.
Guided by cow dung, the army avoided the bad soil of what would become Yellowstone Park, descended north from Montana, and advanced to the central plains of eastern Wyoming.
At the same time, more than 7,000 Montana tribesmen formed a migration team, following far behind, following the road signs set by the army.
Having had the experience of leading the Hohokam migration in Arizona, it was very easy to do this again this time.
Statistics of the results of Region 5 Idaho and Region 6 Montana.
With the combined efforts of two states, there are only 20,000 people, which is not as good as a Hohokam city...
This made the leaders of the battle group such as Shan Shanshan feel dissatisfied.
We can also see the bitter cold in the western land.
However.
September.
The great plains of eastern Wyoming brought surprises to the army, with prosperous tribes and a large population.
Nearly 6,000 troops, driving thousands of horses galloping, blew up a balanced hurricane on the prairie, sweeping everywhere.
End of September.
More than 30,000 people were recruited and gathered with the 7,000 Montana tribes, a total of nearly 40,000 people, and they would go south together to Cheyenne, the future capital of Wyoming.
The city of Cheyenne is named after the Cheyenne people.
But today, there are no traces of the Cheyenne in the Great Plains of Wyoming, and they still live in Minnesota in the Great Lakes region.
The two states are 1,000 kilometers apart.
The migration of the Cheyenne people was, first, like most of the Great Lakes tribes, to escape the disasters of the Little Ice Age and reach southern areas to survive.
After the colonists landed, the tribe was almost wiped out due to smallpox, so they abandoned the tribe again and traveled far away, finally settling in Wyoming.
Cheyenne was also one of the later important construction bases of the Pacific Railroad.
Therefore, Zhou Li'an gave a material supply point here.
Wait until arriving in the Cheyenne area.
It was necessary to repeat the same old trick and use new guides to lead 40,000 people to move westward to complete the road exploration from Cheyenne to Salt Lake City and complete the "Broadway of Balance".
Based on the previous experience, in the past two months, Niu Shi has been teaching the young guards, and they have performed positioning techniques along the way. Niu Shi has then checked for errors and omissions, greatly improving their positioning calculation capabilities.
Just talking about jumping fish, he has maintained a record of 30 consecutive positioning calculations without errors, making him the best among everyone.
"Tiaoyu, this time you will lead a team of 40,000 people to migrate to the Great Salt Lake area, a total distance of 600 kilometers."
"When you arrive, there will be road signs left by the Hohokam migration team, which can ensure the accuracy of your return to equilibrium route!"
Jumping Fish was very excited about this.
The first is to achieve academic success, and the second is to return to balance, and then he can meet his lover "Gray Rabbit".
It has been a year and a half since the expedition. Gray Rabbit should, maybe, probably not married yet, right?
However, Tiaoyu still said to the teacher very carefully, "Teacher, I can't live without you! I want to stay by your side forever and listen to your teachings."
Niu Shi said with a smile: "Okay, my Lord will definitely send out a new army. By then, those of you who practice positioning skills will join the war again!"
Time enters October.
The army put on thick clothes and rode war horses, and the feeling of the howling wind was definitely not pleasant.
Nowadays, almost all cavalry warriors can express a standard sigh in Chinese, "Winter is coming!"
October 7th.
They finally led the migrating tribes to Cheyenne.
The army will also be renovating here for three days.
After obtaining supplies from the supply depot, the army was able to drink "good wine". They discovered that the good wine given by our Lord could actually resist the cold.
They also distributed compressed dry food to various ministries and taught them how to eat it.
On the first day of rest for renovations, there was a night of carnival to celebrate conquering the last three areas in the northwest.
On the second day, the leaders of each battle group did not dare to slack off. Knowing that my lord was watching, they gathered together to discuss the next route of the expedition.
Autumn has entered and winter is approaching.
They had no choice but to head south.
Cow shit labels Colorado as zone 8, and New Mexico further south as zone 9.
After conquering these two areas, they headed east to Texas No. 10.
However, on the existing map, Zhou Li'an divided Texas into two parts, distinguishing north and south.
Because of the large area of the state, the southern region has touched the territory of the future Aztec League.
Although the Aztecs had not yet been established, the tribe was strong, their rights were stable, and they had a relatively mature cultural system.
The 6,000 cavalry conquest is slightly more difficult. Their population is huge and they can attack with the tactics of a sea of people. Even the cavalry army will be defeated and sink into the sand.
Therefore, differentiate between the north and the south and do not go deep into the south. If there is contact, collect intelligence. In the future, the second expedition will include them and build a city in southern Texas as an important military city in the attack on South America.
It can store weapons and supplies, absorb the population, and then divide and arrange them to move northward to various places to contribute to a balanced industrial era.
Therefore, North Texas is Area 10. After completing the strategy and surviving the cold winter, you can head north again and include Oklahoma, Kansas, Nebraska and North and South Dakota.
At this point, the Balanced Army has annexed half of the population of the United States.
After Niu Shit set a goal, everyone agreed.
Things that use their brains are just bullshit, they just focus on fighting.
Three days later.
October 10th.
Tiaoyu and the other two young guards led 40 warriors to bid farewell to the army and embark on the westward pilgrimage along the "Broadway of Balance".
The cavalry army crossed into Colorado and began a new round of sweeps, engulfing the population.
14th.
Zhou Li'an and Snow Girl arrive.
After reviewing all matters, the [Eye of the Void] consciousness descended and learned about the progress of the army and the two waves of migrating tribes.
Zhou Li'an has a tacit understanding with Niu Shi's master and servant.
In addition to the previous letters and the report of the returning young guard, he could roughly guess the next plan of Niu Shi, just like the conquest of Arizona, he would march in a "snake" state with twists and turns.
There are still 2 and a half months until the new year.
The army can arrive in New Mexico to spend the New Year's Day and New Year's Day.
To be continued...
