In the Time Oasis, there were originally several school buildings, dormitories, pigsties, stables, fish ponds, and other facilities. When Zhou Qingfeng entered again, he found that Xu Bing had strengthened his original construction. The whole Time Oasis was about the size of two and a half football fields. In such a small area, Xu Bing had actually built a small fortress.
The thick wall built by the Stone Wall Spell was more than five meters high and more than two meters thick. The wall was also strengthened by magic, and turrets were built. A total of six turrets were installed with specially made Longsong Cannons. Since there was no consideration for mobility, the barrels and mounts of these cannons were strengthened. From the looks of it, it was at least two tons heavy. The caliber was large, and it was powerful. It should be a new product of the Machinery Factory.
Because the area was not big, but not small, Xu Bing simply stuffed the fortress full of things. In addition to a large amount of goods, there was an entire infantry battalion and a militia pioneer group. More than 1500 people were squeezed into the building and endured the flight for two days. In order to reduce consumption, most people maintained their strength under the effect of the Sleeping Spell.
In the middle of the fortress, there was also a watchtower more than 20 meters high, which was enough to monitor all movements within a few kilometers. Under the watchtower, Dog Meat, who was left in Tianjin, was lying down and taking a nap. When it saw Zhou Qingfeng, it quickly got up with a 'woof!' and wagged its tail as it pounced over to bite its master's trouser leg, denouncing Zhou Qingfeng for leaving it behind.
This was the surprise that Xu Bing mentioned!
Zhou Qingfeng was almost scared to death. If this Time Oasis was used well, it was simply an invincible weapon on the battlefield. When he rushed out of the space-time door again, Xu Bing said happily, "How is it? Are you happy? When Flat Hair sent back your letter, my first thought was to directly send you a city. In order to build this thing in a short time, we spent a lot of resources. "
Transporting things in and out of the Space-Time Oasis required spiritual power. Transporting such a fortress even exceeded Zhou Qingfeng's ability. This was especially so since he was far away from the Chinese plains, and he could not get the power of wishes from the Wisher to support him. He would have to rely on his own accumulation of power, and he would also need all his companions to work together.
No wonder Xu Bing pulled all the masters in the Revolutionary Army over. Only by working together could they move the fortress together with its foundation to the new city of Goa that Zhou Qingfeng had chosen.
Ah … Zhou Qingfeng was still going crazy. He painstakingly planned how to slowly establish his own base without angering the Portuguese. He originally thought that Xu Bing could use the Temporal Oasis to slowly transport people for him. Who knew that Xu Bing would directly transport a fortress with all the manpower.
With such a city appearing directly, who would be afraid of the Portuguese?
The cannons on the city walls were enough to blast any enemy's soul out of their body.
Zhou Qingfeng was mad and happy. He threw himself in front of Xu Bing, picked her up and spun her around. After hugging Xu Bing, he went to hug Wen Ruolan. He Zhuo and the two Phoenixes. He hugged them and kept cheering. "You really dare to think and do it. You immediately got me a city. With it, our operation to open up India will be twice the result with half the effort. "
Hahaha …
"For this fortress, we paid a lot of price, and only in the current relatively peaceful state can we mobilize enough manpower to transport it. This kind of thing can't happen again in a short period of time. Our huge investment this time is completely a strategic bet, and we hope to get an excessive return. "
Just to build and strengthen the fortress, they used a large number of talismans and magic tools, which made Wen Ruolan spend a lot of effort, and spent more than three million silver dollars to purchase items. The spiritual power research department of the 'Revolutionary Army' suddenly became a beggar, and the warehouse could run like a mouse.
Xu Bing first brought out more than 1,500 people in the fortress, and then Zhou Qingfeng used the 'Wind and Cloud Banner' to unite many experts to link everyone's consciousness to build a large formation, and gathered the collective power to move the entire fortress from the Time Island, replacing it with a piece of land of the same size to enter the Time Island. The rich spiritual power in the Time Island to transform the environment was also consumed.
But when a small fortress appeared out of thin air at the mouth of the Mandopi River in Goa, all the effort and investment were worth it. It stood majestically and firmly controlled the geographical advantage. Within the range of its muzzle, it was the territory of truth. With its support, Zhou Qingfeng was full of energy, and all his subsequent construction considerations were brought forward in an instant.
"Marcelo, go and bring my things in the monastery, as well as the female slaves and horses that I bought. Jia Gang, bring a transport team to accompany Marcelo, and make sure no one dares to cause trouble along the way. " Zhou Qingfeng casually pointed and assigned Marcelo, who had just woken up, to work, and let Jia Gang keep an eye on him.
Not long after poor priest Marcelo came back to his senses, he saw a huge fortress suddenly appearing in front of him. He was about to faint again, but saw the skeleton-like Jia Gang staring at him, and he was scared out of his wits. He couldn't faint even if he wanted to.
"Santos, go and contact old man Muhammad, and tell him that I want to buy all the Arabian horses in his hands. We will also provide all kinds of goods that he wants, and the supply is extremely abundant. Also, call all the friends that you recruited, we can now provide them with accommodation, and also need their work.
Ye Na, bring a transport team to accompany Santos Jr. on this trip. Bring some money to the market to buy food as well. I know that the fortress must have stored food, but it's always better to have more food. "
Zhou Qingfeng had to race against time, because Xu Bing and the rest couldn't really stay in Goa for too long. The ownership of the Time Oasis was returned to Zhou Qingfeng once again. She, who originally said that she wanted to come for a vacation, immediately took the biplane back to Tianjin with a few transmigrators. Before leaving, Zhou Qingfeng promised her that she could really come to Goa for a vacation in two to three months' time.
The poor Flat Hair continued to act as a tireless pilot, traveling between Goa and Tianjin.
In addition to handling external affairs, Zhou Qingfeng had even more arduous internal affairs to deal with. Xu Bing had sent him a complete infantry battalion, and the battalion commander leading it was Wu Men, who had always been stationed at Lu Shun. This big guy had gone through repeated training, and his temperament was much steadier. The glory of this overseas expedition fell on his head.
"Spread out the cavalry, and keep an eye out for any movements within a five kilometer radius. Especially the old city of Goa in the east, there are tens of thousands of Portuguese there, and their military should be at least one or two thousand. This is a rough map I drew, use it as a reference to draw up a more detailed one. "Zhou Qingfeng handed over the military work to Wu Daimen.
"Yes, Grand Marshal, I promise to keep a close eye on those Portuguese."
"It's the Portuguese."
"Why does a raisin have teeth?"
"Get lost, get to work."
After blowing away Wu Daimen, the next step was to strengthen the fortress' defenses. Xu Bing sent a circular fortress to Zhou Qingfeng, and he had to build six corners to form a crossfire. This matter fell on the shoulders of the Pioneer Militia, and the one who commanded them was the delicate Wen Ruolan.
Without needing Zhou Qingfeng's instructions, Wen Ruolan built the outer fortifications according to the pre-planned plan. She led more than a dozen apprentices to use stone wall talismans to pull up one thick fortress wall after another on the ground, and then used magic to strengthen it. The hexagonal walls with the six heavy cannons of the fortress could produce a good firepower bombardment effect.
A large number of militias were busy cleaning up the surroundings of the fortress. Although this place had been burned by Zhou Qingfeng, the ground still needed to be compacted with stones. Otherwise, after a few days of rain, tropical plants would grow out of the ground, and even grow more lush.
The militias also took local materials, cut down trees to build horses, dug wells, and collected fuel. This series of work had to be carried out in three shifts, and could not be finished in a short period of time.
As for the emergence of Zhou Qingfeng's fortress, the Portuguese a few kilometers away did not know. Father Marcelo, who was nervous, was extremely excited. He kept crossing his chest to pray as he drove back to the monastery, hoping to get guidance from the Lord. But he could only silently chant a few words in his heart, because there was a terrifying shadow in the carriage staring at him.
Jia Gang had long been accustomed to Zhou Qingfeng's extravagance, but the act of sending troops across more than ten thousand kilometers to the foreign land still amazed him. Even as a ghost cultivator, he had a lot of curiosity in the bottom of his heart.
Especially when he saw the large number of foreign temples erected with crosses in the city of Goa, Jia Gang was even more incredulous as he whispered, "To be able to roam the world with the Grand Marshal, and dominate the foreign land, I will definitely leave my name in history, it really is not a waste of my life."
Marcelo's Mandarin was actually very ordinary. He did not really understand Jia Gang's words, but he could not help but ask, "Sir, are you here to destroy Goa?"
"Destroy?" Jia Gang directly read Marcelo's divine thoughts and could not help but chuckle, "My Grand Marshal is here to make money, not to destroy anyone. But if there are any bastards who don't know what's good for them … No, no, looking at the Grand Marshal's attitude, there will definitely be people who don't know what's good for them. Hahaha … I, Old Merchant, can't help but want to start a massacre. We're going to expand our territory! "
Jia Gang's words were directly conveyed to Marcelo's mind through divine thoughts. Marcelo could not help but shudder when he heard the cold and terrifying words of the ghost cultivator that were filled with the urge to kill. He could not help but wail in his heart, "Didn't they say that the natives of the East are all cowardly and easy to bully? Why aren't these Chinese as peaceful as the Indians? They actually like to kill and loot. "
Marcelo resisted the urge to pee as he drove the carriage. He slightly regretted following Zhou Qingfeng. This was no longer just abandoning the faith that he had always held onto, it could even be said that he was in cahoots with the devil. He could even imagine that it was his cooperation that allowed Zhou Qingfeng to easily sneak into Goa and destroy this place. Without Goa, Portugal's current national strength would be reduced by more than half.
Marcelo had to do it even if he did not want to. This was the reason why Zhou Qingfeng arranged for Jia Gang to accompany him. On the other side, Master Mohammed was also puzzled when he saw Santos who came to him on his own initiative. He looked at the tall Ye Na again and was even more puzzled that such a powerful female Templar Warrior would actually follow an Eastern noble.
"Your master still wants horses?" Mohammed did not understand, but it did not hinder him from doing business. He immediately agreed to send someone to Zhou Qingfeng's residence to discuss the details. However, when he learned that Zhou Qingfeng was not in Marcelo's Monastery in the city, but in Panjim a few kilometers away, he could not help but ask in confusion, "What is your master doing at the estuary?"
"The land at the estuary of the river belongs to my master from now on." Santos still had the mentality of a child. He was very proud of his master's strength and could still hold his head high in front of Mohammed. In response to Mohammed's doubts, he smiled and said, "Master, you just have to go and take a look for yourself, and you will know that I am not lying."
Mohammed was old and had been scheming all his life. He was like a wise man. He was dubious of Santos's words. He did not go personally, nor did he immediately sell his precious horses. He only sent a butler to check out the situation.
