Chapter 227: Strikes and Turmoil
In Zhao Xin's new training methods, sophisticated equipment, coupled with the excellence of the longbow, the combat effectiveness of the group trainers is rapidly increasing, especially the training with arrows, so that the regimental trainers quickly formed combat effectiveness, perhaps in the field, there are such and such problems, simply shooting on the fortress, there has been a good cooperation, and the archery speed in the fixed terrain has also reached an average of 7 rounds per minute.

According to an archer, under the limit of 20 minutes, he can shoot 140 arrows, which is 3 times that of the average archer, and it seems that a salvo will reduce the hit rate, but in fact the damage is greater, covering up to 300 meters.
The projectile range of the longbow has reached about 250 meters, plus the increase of the archer +1, plus the height of 40 meters, it has been increased to the level of 300-350 meters.
However, the shooting curve of the Divine Arm Crossbow is too straight, and it will be very troublesome to aim at the high shot, and once it is not done well, it will damage the Divine Arm Crossbow, and even hurt itself, which greatly reduces the ability to siege the city.
Under the premise of serious training in the regiment and becoming stronger day by day, Baozhou City has also undergone overwhelming changes.
Before the barracks were in chaos, the catering industry in Baozhou began a collective action, a strike.
This caught Zhao Xin off guard, and he even thought that this was Wang De's new method, but after a little investigation, he found that it was not someone who was manipulating behind his back, but spontaneously.
Steamed buns and steamed buns, every day in Baozhou, sales close to 2000 guan, this is not a small number, is a very huge number, even if it is simply Baozhou City itself, the sales volume has exceeded 1,000 guan, where did the money come from, the original scattered in the major restaurants, the business of the catering shops, concentrated on the steamed buns.
According to incomplete statistics, Baozhou's catering industry has dropped by about 50% due to the impact of steamed buns and steamed buns.
Baozhou is a garrison city, almost more than 10,000 troops are stationed, so that the whole Baozhou, is the army as the core, the army and some family members, their purchasing power is limited, their income comes from monthly salaries and a small number of odd jobs, put part of the focus, put on the steamed buns, inevitably, it affects the business of the hotel.
At the beginning, the impact was relatively small, and some people found out, at most they complained, but there were a lot of smart people, and soon, with the continued popularity of steamed buns, a trend has been formed in Baozhou City, and most of the citizens will be uncomfortable if they don't eat steamed buns.
As a result, the hotel business continued to shrink on a large scale.
The hotel is different from other businesses, his profits, lies in sales, the more people, the higher the sales, the more you earn, after the real sales volume is greatly reduced, there will be a loss first, this is not a loss of one or two, but the whole industry, except for a few large restaurants, but also rely on high-end business, but also occupy a certain market, others, there are large-scale losses.
In a border place like Baozhou, those who can do business have a little bit of gangsterism, otherwise, in the face of soldiers and gangsters, how could they persist and be eaten and wiped clean up long ago.
They directly targeted the steamed buns and steamed buns, and started a huge strike, demanding that the steamed bun shops either disclose the secret recipe or leave Baozhou.
The public is angry, at least 1,000 restaurants have joined this strike, almost accounting for more than 9 percent of the entire Baozhou Hotel, Miao Yuan has never encountered this matter, in his own opinion, there are still some things that he can't figure out, they are all doing business, is it possible that their business sales are good, they must be attacked by the other party?
In normal times, Zhao Xin will deal with it carefully, at least differentiation and disintegration, but the soap business has been on the right track, and the current daily sales volume is about 2,500 yuan, surpassing the steamed buns and becoming the most profitable business in the entire Miaojiazhuang, which is enough for money, and there is no need to fight hard with them.
The outbreak of the Baozhou Mutiny may be in 10 days or half a month, and steamed buns and steamed buns occupy a little more labor, and they are on the cusp of the storm, so they simply retreat.
In the end, Miao Yuan came forward and reached a consensus with those industry guilds that from now on, the sales of steamed buns will be limited and reduced by one-third, and after 10 days, it will be reduced to one-tenth of the current one-tenth.
That is, from the current total sales of about 1000 guan, it can be said that the reduction is very obvious, and the profit is also greatly reduced, but the total sales volume is still around 1200.
With the establishment of the sales system of Miaojiazhuang, the sales volume of the entire Baozhou accounts for almost more than half, and it is constantly improving.
The owners of the hotel seem to have won the victory, from the second day after the end of the negotiations, Miaojiazhuang really reduced the supply to Baozhou City, the steamed buns that could be sold from morning to evening, now, at most half an hour, they are sold out, those who lined up in a long line, and finally did not buy, full of regrets, for the nosy hotel owners, also full of resentment.
Because of this word-of-mouth problem, even if Miaojiazhuang reduced the supply of steamed buns and steamed buns, the restaurant's business still did not recover.
On the one hand, it was indeed the actions of these hotel people that disgusted the citizens of Baozhou, and on the other hand, rumors began to appear in the barracks.
In fact, Wei Gui's action began as early as more than 20 days ago, but this action was more in the upper echelons, in the middle and grassroots officers, through the envelopment, informing, and gathering these people together, after encircling about 70% of the officers, the middle and high-level personnel in the entire Baozhou, because of the Wang family's efforts behind the back, and fell into endless trouble, they naturally launched.
First of all, it is in arrears, not to mention all deductions, 30%, 50% deductions, and playing Tai Chi with the method of dragging, which is what people in the army will do, and some specious rumors are also circulating in the barracks, even if Miaojiazhuang does not reduce the supply, the business will drop too much from before, at least 50%.
This made these hotel owners not think, I thought it was just a temporary phenomenon, but three days have passed, five days have passed, ten days have passed, the hotel's business, not only did not show signs of improvement, but developed lower, even if there is business, it is the cheapest, for example, noodle soup and the like, such a dozen or a bowl of things, just a means for the restaurant to attract business, but now, it has become the main sales.
Although there is no specific number, but looking at the time of sales and the general assessment, Miaojiazhuang still reduced the supply of steamed buns and buns according to the agreement, the original 12 sales points, also reduced to 4, the queue has increased significantly, but many people still have not bought.
This is the hell, they easily hit so many people, with the method of not blaming the public, put forward rude demands, I thought it was just a little cheap, but Miaojiazhuang's initiative to retreat, let them see hope.
No one thought that this cheapness was too difficult to take advantage of, Miaojiazhuang gave in, and their business was still very poor.
In Miaojiazhuang, through the intelligence gathered from all sides, it was finally sent to Sun Ji, the relationship between the war and the imminent start of the Baozhou mutiny was already a certainty, and he also made a cameo in intelligence analysis, and Xue Yu also came to help him.
Before, although Sun Ji mentioned the concept of soldiers' savings, he also had the idea of what to expect, and now, everything is according to this routine, compressed, rumors, and by now, the military spirit of the entire army has been very unstable.
That is to say, once the soldiers' savings fund is detonated, the soldiers, who are already very dissatisfied, will immediately have congested their brains, and then there are people with intentions who will contribute to the troubles and commit unforgivable mistakes, and a turmoil that will sweep the entire Baozhou will appear.
Before, they had speculated, and the premise of the assumption was that the soldier's savings would be moved. But now, everything has gone in that direction, and even scattered evidence has begun to appear.
If it weren't for the several giants in Baozhou, they were all restrained by various affairs, even if they really noticed this situation, it wouldn't have much effect, which required linkage from top to bottom, and even a little carelessness, it would detonate this rebellion in advance.
Sun Ji is aware of this, he is just doing intelligence collection and analysis, because what Zhao Xin said, it takes 3 days to summon a fortress with immortal arts, and now, the moat next to the small river has been completed, and it is at least 5 meters deep, and even the small river has been drained and deepened.
The trees located around the creek have begun to be cut down, and no matter what they are, they will not be left to the opponent, not to mention the clear field of the strong wall, and it can be regarded as a place that the opponent can use.
The only omission is still in Miaojiazhuang, if they can be ruthless and bulldoze Miaojiazhuang, it would be the best, but unfortunately, this is the home of the villagers, unless there is accurate news of the Baozhou mutiny, otherwise, it is easy to cause turmoil.
It was determined that the Baozhou mutiny would inevitably occur, and in terms of time, that is, within ten days and half a month, they still needed to do one last thing, and get the close relatives and families of these soldiers who were trained in the regiment.
This is the only loophole in the group training, perhaps, at the very beginning, the rebels, did not look up to the group training, they will come directly to attack, once they hit the iron plate, after being hit by the head and bleeding, it is almost inevitable that they will choose this method.
Driving the captives to attack the city, or driving some close relatives to attack the city, this is a common method in warfare, as long as the commander hesitates a little, it will lead to huge consequences, and even defeat is possible.
Sun Ji won't give them a chance, if it is said that Miaojiazhuang can't accommodate so many people, but the fortress can.
The fortress is not big is dozens of meters long, dozens of meters wide, this fortress, covers an area of about two acres, the first floor is almost 2100 square meters, not large, the area is about three acres, but the internal space is huge, because of the height of the problem, the fortress is layered.
The height of 40 meters is divided into 12 floors, and there are 3 floors and 15 floors of buildings underground, with a total of 30,000 square meters of space, leaving behind some of the space that must be hidden and stored logistics materials, and the space that can be used is at least 24,000.
There are about 2,800 people in Miaojiazhuang, and in the group training, Miaojiazhuang occupies about a quarter, that is to say, almost 600 people are recruited from other places, if it is only close relatives, that is, 600 families, about three or four thousand people, even if it is slightly expanded, it reaches 8,000 people, or even 10,000 people, 24,000 square meters of space, squeezed can still live.
At the time of the war, it is impossible for everyone to comfortably occupy enough space, squeeze it, 2 square meters per person is still possible.
There is such a huge space, or such a strong fortress with strong protection, it is enough to ensure their safety, the chaos army, the lethality of the countryside is huge, and the real chaos soldiers cross the border, and their countryside cannot provide them with enough defense at all.
10,000 people, will bring them enough manpower, when the protection is enough, even if they don't know the bow, but they can carry bricks and giant trees, from a height of 40 meters, rolling down giant trees and bricks, have huge lethality, as for the extra 10,000 people, the pressure of food and grass and logistics, there is no such thing as a card system, conservative estimates, can support an army of 5-70,000, but more than 10,000.
As for the reason, of course it's very simple, these workshops in Miaojiazhuang need to recruit people, these group exercises have been in Miaojiazhuang for a long time, and more or less, knowing the treatment of Miaojiazhuang workshops, an average of 70 Wen a day, this is a lot more than group exercises, there was no chance before, Miaojiazhuang is more, and it needs to take care of the village, and now it is released, which immediately caused a sensation.
Everyone is willing to come, such a good opportunity, no one will give up, they participated in the group training, itself is an opportunity to change the fate of the family, now a better opportunity is in front of them, even if there is one more person to join the workshop, their family's difficulties, will no longer be difficult.
As for the requirements of Miaojiazhuang, all applicants must be relocated to Miaojiazhuang, which is somewhat unacceptable, but under the temptation of huge interests, more than 9 percent of relatives have migrated to Miaojiazhuang.
Although their arrival has increased the pressure on Miaojiazhuang, the original location of Miaojiazhuang cannot accommodate so many people, but the temporary buildings, tents made of cloth and leather, are barely enough for everyone to live.
In the future, Miaojiazhuang will continue to keep an eye on Baozhou City, once there is turmoil in Baozhou, Zhao Xin will show the fortress as soon as possible, and will not even go to the card time, as long as the development of things is uncontrollable, and at the last moment, they will also give these surrounding villages, a certain opportunity, I believe that when turmoil and turmoil arise, they will make a choice.
