At two o'clock in the afternoon, Ouyang Shuo did not stay in the lord's mansion, but accompanied by the Military Affairs Director Ge Hongliang and the Military Information Director Song San, he went to the Friendship Town on the other side of the Friendship River for inspection.

At the ferry at Shanhai Town, the shipkeeper who was ferrying was still Old Man Zhang. Of course, the simple raft built by Ouyang Shuo himself has long been honorably retired, and now it is using a high-end fishing boat, which is somewhat similar to a black-sailed boat.

Having a black-sailed boat and looking at the shimmering river surface, Ouyang Shuo was filled with emotion. Before he knew it, half a year had passed. At that time, he brought Shi Wansui to the Lianzhou Basin alone, overcome all obstacles and established Shanhai Village. At that time, Shanhai Village was in ruins and talents were withered.

In less than five months, the small village that once had nothing had become Shanhai Town, which covers an area of ​​1,000 square kilometers and has a population of nearly 30,000, becoming the first unshakable player territory in China. However, the imperial map dominates itself, if you don’t advance, you will retreat. Today, Shanhai Town seems so insignificant in the future battle for hegemony.

At the terminal of Youyi Town, Zhou Haichen, the head of Youyi Town, and Lin Yi, the cavalry battalion stationed in Youyi Town, led a group of civil servants and generals to wait early, preparing to welcome Ouyang Shuo and his party. This was the first time the lord came to Youyi Town to inspect, so naturally he could not be careless.

After the black-sailed boat docked, Zhou Haichen and others came up eagerly and said with a smile: "Welcome to visit Youyi Town."

Ouyang Shuo walked out of the cabin, waved goodbye to the shipkeeper Zhang with a smile, and then turned to Zhou Haichen and said, "It's just a simple inspection. Why do you need to mobilize so many people?"

Zhou Haichen's expression stagnated. He knew that adults didn't like such a scene, so he would have misunderstood this time.

Ouyang Shuo didn't want Zhou Haichen to be too embarrassed. With the introduction of Zhou Haichen and Lin Yi, he nodded to a group of civil servants and generals.

The administrative structure of Youyi Town is similar to that of the base camp, but it is somewhat different. The four major agencies, the Military Affairs Office, only has the base camp, and the affiliated territories are not permanent institutions. They only retain a logistics support department like the War Preparation Department. In addition, the more special Yantian Department is also a unique department of the base camp.

Of course, the configuration of civil servants in Youyi Town cannot be compared with the base camp. However, among the grassroots government personnel, they are also the best, otherwise they would not have the chance to be sent here to preside over the government affairs of each department and the department. Ouyang Shuo only hopes that this group of people can grow up as soon as possible.

As for the military generals, they are all old acquaintances. The five squadron leaders of the cavalry battalion, including Hu Yibiao, the head of the Friendship Garage, were all promoted and appointed by him, so there is naturally no need to exchange greetings.

After a simple stay at the pier, the group rushed back to Youyi Town. From a distance, you can see the tall walls of Youyi Town and the grand southern gate.

Fortunately, Zhou Haichen knew the right way and did not arrange for the people to welcome him. Walking into Friendship Town, Zhou Haichen began to introduce the situation of Friendship Town to Ouyang Shuo along the way.

Youyi Town currently has a population of more than 2,600, and it is about a week before it is promoted to a second-level township. Of course, the cavalry battalion stationed outside the city is not included.

In order to prevent the nomadic peoples in the north, the agriculture of Youyi Town is basically concentrated in the south, next to the Youyi River and the Shui River. Some industries that need to be built outside the city, such as brick kilns, pottery factories, etc., are also basically built on the east and west sides, surrounded by the moat.

Because it is in a plain area, Youyi Town is extremely short of basic resources such as wood, stone and iron ore, which are basically transported by the base camp and Lushui Town. The coordination between the middle is naturally the credit of the Material Reserve Bureau.

Of course, Youyi Town is not without its own advantages. Not to mention the livestock industry that will focus on developing in the future, it also has its unique geographical advantages in the agricultural field.

It is located at the intersection of Youyi River and Lushui River to the south. It has abundant water resources and fertile land. The cultivated farmland is much better than Shanhai Town. This area has been reclaimed 20,000 mu of fertile farmland, all of which are planted with rice. In the future, Youyi Town will become the second only to Lushui Town in the grain production base.

At the same time, in order to form the unique advantages of Friendship Town and not be compared with the two affiliated territories of Beihai Town and Lushui Town, Zhou Haichen racked his brains to vigorously develop the forging and textile industries. These industries are all preparations for future transactions with nomadic tribes. This shows that Zhou Haichen's ambitions and anxiety.

It can be said that whether the trade routes of nomadic tribes can be opened is related to the positioning of Youyi Town. If the trade route is opened, Youyi Town can be transformed into a commercial city and become a link to connect the base camp and the hinterland. If the trade routes are not opened, Youyi Town will be trapped to death and completely degenerate into a military fortress.

Therefore, Zhou Haichen had great expectations for Ouyang Shuo's arrival.

Since the completion of the moat project, Zhou Haichen has sent people to test contact with the nomadic tribes in the north and made some progress. However, the strategy for these nomadic tribes is ultimately required to make decisions by Ouyang Shuo, the lord, to personally decide.

Unfortunately, what Zhou Haichen didn't know was that Ouyang Shuo visited Youyi Town this time and his inspection was just a cover. His real purpose was to target the green horses on the grassland. It has been two months since the establishment of the Jiafangsi, and the first batch of fifty sets of bright light armors have been completed. Unfortunately, because there is no suitable war horse, it is still impossible to be equipped in the cavalry camp, so how can Ouyang Shuo not be anxious?

In the Council Hall of Friendship Town, Ouyang Shuo stepped down a group of civil servants, including Zhou Haichen, and left only the generals to hold a military affairs meeting.

"Director Ge, let's talk about it. What has Qingfeng Mako made during this period?" Ouyang Shuo asked.

This trip to Friendship Town was originally facilitated by Ge Hongliang. With Ge Hongliang's cautious personality, if there were no breakthrough progress, he would not have brought Ouyang Shuo here rashly.

Ge Hongliang nodded and said, "Sir, the Military Information Department has obtained important information. Five days ago, the small tribe on the west side of Youyi Town had just obtained more than 100 high-quality green horse stallions from the Tianqi tribe, preparing to expand the breeding scale of the tribe's green horse. This is a god-given opportunity!"

Ouyang Shuo's heart moved, and he was silent on the surface: "Oh, what do you mean?"

"The subordinate's meaning is very simple. We must not miss the opportunity, and we will never come back. So we will loot this small tribe without stopping. If possible, we can also blame the middle tribe on the north side of Friendship Town to further alienate the relationship between the middle tribe and the Tianqi tribe." Ge Hongliang said calmly, as if he had no idea what kind of blood would be created if he really did what he said.

"How many people are there in that small tribe and how many warriors are there?" Ouyang Shuo asked cautiously.

Of course, the Military Information Department answered the information in this regard. Lei Xun, the leader of the Military Information Group 2 who is responsible for collecting information from nomadic tribes, stood up and said, "Mr. The Military Information Department has investigated it clearly. The grazing range of this small tribe is less than 500 square kilometers, with only more than 800 tribe members and more than 300 soldiers."

Ouyang Shuo turned to look at Lin Yi and asked, "Are you sure?"

Lin Yi naturally knew what the adults were sure of what they meant, and said: "It is not difficult to destroy their main force. The difficult thing is how to avoid leaving a living mouth. These nomadic peoples, regardless of men and women, will ride horses. If they are not careful, they may have fish that miss the net."

For the sake of the green horse, Ouyang Shuo was preparing to wave his butcher knife this time.

"What is the opinion of the Military Affairs Office?" Ouyang Shuo looked at Ge Hongliang again.

Ge Hongliang was prepared and said, "It is necessary to be clean and neat, and the surprise attack is the most effective. In addition, in order to prevent what General Lin said just now, in addition to the main assault tribe, guards must be arranged on the periphery to kill the fish that missed the net."

Ouyang Shuo nodded and said, "The strategy is good. However, there are 300 nomadic cavalry skilled in bowing and horses on the opposite side. The cavalry battalion is already in a foregone direction. How can I still have the energy to arrange the troops intercepted on the outside?"

"You are right. With the existing troops in the territory, it is difficult to complete this raid mission. The only way is to expand the number of troops again." Ge Hongliang said.

Ouyang Shuo had a headache and said, "Is it appropriate to expand the army again before being promoted to a first-level county town? Don't forget that there are still a thousand elite soldiers waiting for us to accept it?"

Ge Hongliang obviously had a comprehensive consideration and said confidently: "Sir, the Military Affairs Office has a military reorganization plan, please make a decision!"

"speak!"

"The subordinates' idea is this. The base camp received 500 people and formed a second heavy infantry battalion. The remaining 500 people were divided into 300 people to Lushui Town, plus the current two garrison squadrons to form the Lushui Town City Defense Battalion. The last two hundred people were assigned to Youyi Town, and then recruited 100 people on the spot, transferred to cavalry, and formed the Youyi Town City Defense Battalion. In this way, the overflow of the army is not too serious. Similarly, in this operation, a cavalry squadron from the Lushui Town City Defense Battalion, plus two cavalry squadrons from Youyi Town City Defense Battalion to participate in the operation together."

Ouyang Shuo's eyes lit up. In this case, except for the cavalry battalion and infantry battalion, there was basically no more than the conscription ratio he had originally decided to draw one in ten.

"Okay, let's follow this and all departments will make preparations immediately." Ouyang Shuo made a decision directly, and then announced the appointment and removal of the military personnel, saying: "The Military Affairs Bureau passed on my order to appoint Zhang Daniu as the chief of the Lushui Town City Defense Camp, Hu Yibiao as the chief of the Youyi Town City Defense Camp, and Shi Hu as the chief of the Second Infantry Battalion."

"Yes!" Ge Hongliang nodded and said.

Zhang Daniu, the first person who was competing with Zhao Sihu, was finally promoted to the rank of the rank of the rank of Zhao Sihu again. Hu Yibiao was relatively lucky. After being stationed in Youyi Town for more than a month, he was promoted to the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of Zhao Sihu in one fell swoop, one step ahead of his predecessors.

As for the Second Infantry Battalion, Ouyang Shuo promoted Shi Hu, the Second Squadron of the Infantry Battalion, rather than Wang Feng, the squadron leader of the First Squadron, because he was considerate.
Chapter completed!
