Just as Gui Lichi was preparing to stabilize the emotions within the tribe.
Gui Lichi didn't know that because of his decision, Zhu Xiong's territory had gotten a huge breather.
In just half a month, a tall city rose up from the plains.
In Zhu Xiong's territory, a huge city about 15 meters tall and 5 meters wide stood on the grassland.
The entire city only occupied five square kilometers.
To be honest, it was not even a quarter of Zhu Rong's fief.
One had to know that Zhu Xi's fief was a total of 40,000 mu. If one counted the area, it would take up a total of 26 to 27 square kilometers. It was even larger than some of the small and medium-sized cities of the Great Ming Dynasty.
However, even though it didn't seem like a large area, this was already the limit of what Zhu Xiong could do in a limited amount of time.
After all, there were only so many people in Zhu Rong's territory. Moreover, they had to build cities while defending against the possible retaliation of the Mongol army.
Zhu Xiong's first priority was to build a city that could be defended as soon as possible. As for the size, it was fine as long as it could temporarily accommodate so many people.
In the future, when he had more subjects under him, he would expand.
Fortunately, there was no movement from the Mongolians during this half a month.
This allowed Zhu Rong to mobilize all his subjects without any interference. In just half a month, this giant city was built.
Although this city didn't take up a large area, the height and thickness of the city walls were much higher than that of Jin Ling City.
Jin Ling City was only 12 meters tall and 3 meters wide.
It was already completely inferior to the city of Zhufan.
The moment the city was completed, Zhu Xiong stood on the city wall.
His tense expression finally relaxed.
Zhu Rong had never thought that a city could give him an unprecedented sense of security.
With this city, Zhu Rong no longer had to worry about the danger that the Mongolians brought him.
In the past half a month, the number of subjects under Zhu Xiong's command had increased exponentially.
This was the ninety-fifth day since Zhu Xiong had obtained the system.
The population had increased by 900 to 500 people every day.
In this half a month, Zhu Xiong's subjects had increased by about 171,000.
In other words, adding on the 100,000 subjects that Zhu He had previously, there were now nearly 300,000 subjects in Zhu He's territory!
The increase in subjects also meant that Zhu Xiong's confidence was increasing.
Now, he had directly planned out an army of 50,000.
Although these troops were not very strong in terms of combat strength.
However, their weapons and equipment had been greatly improved.
After experiencing that painful lesson half a month ago.
While Zhu Xiong was building the city, he was also very attentive to forging weapons and armor.
Half a month ago, half of the reason why so many people had sacrificed their lives was because they did not have enough good weapons and armor.
Otherwise, so many people wouldn't have died.
Zhu Rong would never allow such a thing to happen to his subjects.
For this reason, Zhu Xiong exchanged for five talents who knew how to forge iron and weapons and armor from the system store.
In addition, each of them had 1,000 apprentices.
In Zhu Xiong's territory, there were a total of 7,000 people who could forge weapons and armor.
In addition, Zhu Xiong had arranged for 20,000 people to collect iron ores.
In just half a month, the weapons and equipment in Zhu Rong's territory had a qualitative leap.
Apart from bows, spears, and wooden shields, there were also long crossbows, iron sabers, and ballistae.
In terms of armor, other than the breastplate, he also had the bracers, legplates, and helmets.
They even made arm crossbows for close-range killing.
Other than weapons and equipment, Zhu Xiong also created a cavalry.
This cavalry did not have many people, only a thousand.
The warhorses were also left behind by the Mongolians half a month ago.
For this reason, Zhu Xiong had even specially ordered people to forge special weapons and equipment for this kind of cavalry.
Stirrups, saddles, horseshoes, sabers, vests, a full set of armor, and so on were all equipped.
It could be said that Zhu Xiong intended to turn this cavalry into a fully equipped heavy cavalry.
Zhu Xiong knew very well that with such a cavalry on the grasslands, it was definitely a force that no one dared to ignore.
Of course, Zhu Xiong knew that if he wanted to dominate the grasslands, the best army was still the light cavalry, especially the cavalry archers.
However, it was definitely not something that could be done in a day or two to form a cavalry with considerable combat power.
The reason why the Mongolian light cavalry could roam the plains was because the Mongolians had grown up on horseback and were skilled in archery.
He had been training since he was young.
In this aspect, in just a few years, the Mongolians would be able to crush the cavalrymen that Zhu Xiong had temporarily formed.
Therefore, Zhu Xiong could only focus on his equipment.
That was why he had created such a heavy cavalry.
Moreover, dominating the grasslands was a matter for the future.
Zhu Xiong only wanted to get a heavy cavalry to intimidate the Mongolians.
All in all, after half a month of hard work, Zhu Xiong's army was no longer the same as it was half a month ago.
In addition to the completion of the city under their feet.
Zhu Xiong was no longer afraid of the Mongolians.
The city under Zhu Rong's feet was named by him:
Starting City! The Starting City!
It was also the starting point of Zhu Xiong!
