Chapter 16 Construction of barracks and arsenals
Unexpectedly, he was just a move from his own heart but inadvertently triggered the appearance of the villagers of the system, Hao Jian was surprised but couldn't help but feel lucky.
The system is set up just like in the original game, there will be no prompts to tell you what to do next, it is completely up to your own experience.
Moreover, the system seems to be based on a balance between reality and reality, which makes Hao Jian also excited and curious about the other functions of the system, and he doesn't know what kind of actions he will trigger various functions.
And at present, although it seems that the number of villagers in the system is the same as the number of people they are currently taking in, in fact they are very different.
This difference is reflected in the fact that the villagers in the system field are all strong men, while in reality, the villagers they take in are old, weak, women and children, so in fact, Hao Jian took a big advantage, which can be said to be a bug in the system, of course, it can also be seen that the system is secretly releasing water.
After figuring this out, Hao Jian was very excited.
Originally, he was still anxious about how to increase his troops, because if he wanted to attack Hai Dongqing, this amount of troops was definitely not enough at the moment.
Even if Hai Dongqing is a bandit and a horse bandit again, he is still a bandit, and the five or six hundred strong minions under his command are not something that Hao Jian's more than thirty people can deal with.
Although the courage and excellent training of soldiers, as well as appropriate tactics, are the key factors for the success of the battle in the era of cold weapons, the number of troops cannot be ignored.
Of course, the existence of battlefield miracles cannot be ruled out, but in most cases, if the quality of the soldiers on both sides is not much different, and the commander does not get dizzy, then of course the side with superior forces has a greater advantage.
If there is a huge disparity in the strength of the two sides, even if the soldiers of the side with fewer people are more elite and the generals are extraordinary, these factors can only be said to cancel out the opponent's probability of victory.
Since ancient times, especially in the era of cold weapons, there have indeed been many battles in which fewer victories have been many, and many of them have been regarded as classic battles.
But the reason why it is a classic actually shows that winning more with less is not the norm on the battlefield.
So what is the norm, it is obvious that the side with more people has more advantages and a greater probability of winning.
And not all generals have the ability to win more with less, the reason why famous generals are famous generals is because of the scarcity of numbers, so most of the generals are destined to be mediocre talents.
Among these people, those who can command the battle formation step by step can be called good generals. There are also some generals who become generals not because they have command talents, but because they are brave in battle.
The so-called soldiers are the courage of the generals, and they will be the souls of the soldiers. The most critical factor why many armies in the Cold Weapon Era are brave and invincible is that there is a general who charges forward and is not afraid of death.
Once this kind of army changes generals, it is easy to have problems.
Therefore, in the final analysis, in the era of cold weapons, it is still necessary to fight for the number of people, and more soldiers are the king.
Getting back to business, Hao Jian looked at the villagers sitting around the campfire and began to think about how to arrange suitable positions for them.
Not to mention the rest, the number of troops must be increased first, and the more troops, the safer his situation will be.
In order to train soldiers, two buildings, the barracks and the weapons depot, must be built.
Through the warehouse, Hao Jian checked the amount of stone in the warehouse, which was enough to build these two buildings, so he chose to build the barracks first.
When Hao Jian gave the order to build a barracks with his mind, many square areas marked with green lights soon appeared in the open space around the castle, indicating that these locations were suitable for construction.
According to his previous habits, Hao Jian chose to build a barracks next to the castle, because it was more convenient to train soldiers in the game. The trained soldiers will voluntarily assemble at the gate of the barracks.
In this way, the barracks were built next to the castle, so that in the event of an enemy attack, the army could defend it closely.
Once the barracks are built, you can't start training soldiers right away, you still need to build an arsenal.
In the same way, Hao Jian built the arsenal next to the barracks, next to the warehouse, so that it was also convenient for craftsmen to access raw materials and transport weapons to the arsenal when making weapons in the future, so as to reduce the time spent on the road and thus improve work efficiency.
After the arsenal was built, Hao Jian couldn't wait to check the number of existing weapons.
It was found that there were only twenty spears, twenty longbows, twenty maces, twenty halberds, twenty sets of leather armor, ten long swords, twenty sets of iron armor, and twenty crossbows.
Hao Jian wasn't much surprised to see these numbers, but he wasn't surprised, as it was exactly the same number of weapons he had at the beginning of the game.
After the arsenal was built, Hao Jian needed to consider how many troops to train.
Obviously, the sixty-three available people in front of us cannot all be trained as soldiers, and some must be left to be used as lumberjacks, iron miners, transporters, and artisans of all kinds to make weapons, and some of the population needs to be engaged in agricultural production to produce food.
If all of them are trained as soldiers, once more people are gathered in the later stage, if you want to expand the army, you will find that there are not enough raw materials and weapons, which is very dangerous and wasteful.
So we have to take the path of sustainability from the very beginning.
And there is another point to consider is the issue of money and honor.
Hao Jian checked that his current starting capital was 5,000 gold coins, as well as 500 honor points.
Hao Jian was stunned for a moment when he saw the five hundred honor points, because the original game only had two hundred honor points at the beginning, so what happened to the extra three hundred honor points?
After thinking about it, it was obvious that he had won three hundred honor points for himself by defeating the battle of officers and soldiers today and taking in these people.
This is really a bonus, because honor is very important in the later stages. You know, in the system of the fortress, the more advanced the soldier you want to train, not only does it cost more gold, but it also consumes a proportionate amount of honor points.
If you only have money and no honor, then you can't train more troops.
And Hao Jian also saw a data: people's heart value.
If the honor value is used to train the army, then the people's heart value is a barometer of people's stability and instability.
The higher the popular will, the more satisfied the people under Hao Jian's command are. On the contrary, it shows that the people are more dissatisfied.
Once the popularity level drops below 50, the people will start to flee, which will cause the farmland to be deserted, the workshops will strike, and the development of the territory will be stagnant.
Therefore, maintaining a high popularity is also another major task as a lord in addition to combat.
The current popular sentiment is 55, which is just above the passing line.
Hao Jian knows that this popular value actually reflects the mood of the people he is currently taking in, not the people in the system, because the people in the system have not yet begun to arrange jobs.
