An architectural drawing was spread out in front of the cool summer, this was a drawing obtained by Chu Tian a long time ago, but it did not meet the conditions, so Chu Tian did not let the craftsmen build it.

There are a lot of heirlooms in Chutian's collection, from agricultural books and military books to construction drawings and weapons.

The Great Wall, Genyue (Northern Song Dynasty Garden), Lingyan Pavilion and other buildings have never been built, and the building in front of you is the seventh-level building Lingyan Pavilion.

The Lingyan Pavilion is a wooden pavilion that is not expensive to build, and the main restriction is that the title of lord must reach the rank of king or emperor.

[Name]: Lingyan Pavilion

[Grade]: Seventh-order special building

[Origin]: The Tang Dynasty commended the heroes and built the high pavilion

[Restrictions]: Each generation of kings can hang up to 24 portraits of heroes, and additional effects are not applicable to additional heroes

[Effect 1 - Writing Ling Yan]: The Wenchen generals who enter the Lingyan Pavilion have increased loyalty, and their attributes are not easy to decline with age.

[Effect 2 - Please temporarily go to Lingyan Pavilion]: Within the influence, the aggressiveness of the military generals of the civil and military generals is improved, and the incentive effect of military merits on the generals and soldiers is enhanced.

As a player, you can clearly see the effects and restrictions attached to Lingyan Pavilion.

"The construction of Lingyan Pavilion seems to have only the second effect that can play a role at present, as for the first effect, 24 heroes, this is a troublesome matter......"

In summer, the construction drawings of the Lingyan Pavilion were smoothed and fell into contemplation.

The current "Lord" is no longer just a game, even Chu Tian cannot arbitrarily decide on the candidates for the 24 heroes, nor can he replace the 24 heroes at will. In the event that in the later stage, there is a military general with greater merit, if any of the meritorious generals who have entered the Lingyan Pavilion are replaced, the latter will probably be dissatisfied.

This is equivalent to a double-edged sword, which can have an incentive effect on the military generals of Wenchen, but there will always be people who are dissatisfied with the ranking.

"Come on, let the Ministry of Industry arrange for the construction of Lingyan Pavilion, and there will be no candidates for Lingyan Pavilion for the time being, and there is news that if King Xia can achieve great things in the future, the 24 heroes with the greatest merit can enter Lingyan Pavilion."

Xia Liang finally decided to build Lingyan Pavilion, Lingyan Pavilion is relatively cheap compared to other special buildings, just a high pavilion.

As for the positions of the twenty-four meritorious heroes of the Lingyan Pavilion, it will not be established for the time being, so as not to cause disputes among the various civil and military generals because of their status, and when the time comes, the internal division will fall apart.

At least until the world is unified, the generals must not be allowed to compete for merit.

"Twenty-four heroes of Lingyan Pavilion?"

Many Wenchen generals heard that there was an additional Lingyan Pavilion symbolizing honor in Xia City, and the vast majority of people couldn't help but be moved.

The world is bustling, all for profit; The world is crowded, all for profit.

Even if some civil servants and military generals are loyal, they can't get rid of the shackles of fame and fortune, and they can even fight for a false name that has no real benefits.

There are twenty-four places in Lingyan Pavilion, which gives hope to many generals.

In the troubled times, military generals are more likely to ascend to the Lingyan Pavilion by virtue of their military exploits.

"Lingyan Pavilion, it's better not to fight."

Feng Yi, the commander of the Thorn Slaying Legion, did not have much interest in Ling Yan Pavilion, but continued to train silently.

In Moscow City, Chu Tian learned that Xia Cheng had begun to build the Lingyan Pavilion and acquiesced to this practice. Lingyan Pavilion will have to be built sooner or later, and this special building of Lingyan Pavilion is not comparable to the Great Wall, Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal and other miracle projects, the amount of gold and silver that needs to be consumed, compared with the miracle building, it can be said that it is a real drop in the bucket.

The second effect of Lingyan Pavilion is to enhance the enterprising spirit of his subordinates and enhance the incentive effect of military merits, and the actual effect should be not small.

Chu Tian could already feel that even Dian Wei, who was a guard, became more and more excited after hearing about the construction of Lingyan Pavilion.

The 100,000-strong Hun army was repulsed, the Golden Horde withdrew, and the crisis in the Grand Duchy of Moscow seemed to be resolved, but it was not.

The main forces of the Golden Horde are not extinguished and may come back at any time.

The 100,000-strong army sent by the Huns to attack the Grand Duchy of Moscow was mostly a rabble, and the Grand Duke Vytautas did not loyally serve Attila.

"The Huns, the Tatars, the Lithuania, they brought the war to Moscow, but they failed to take Moscow. Moscow will be reborn in the flames of war and give the enemy ten times more revenge! ”

After holding the city of Moscow, Catherine, in the name of the Grand Duke of Moscow and all Rus', issued a full-scale war mobilization, calling on all the principalities and cities under the jurisdiction of the Grand Duchy of Moscow to recruit troops, take advantage of the population advantage, bulldoze the Golden Horde, and completely solve the threat from the Volga and Don rivers!

The order of the Grand Duke of Moscow was in the interests of the Don Cossacks and the tribes living in the Volga and other places, and at the same time, Catherine's SSS-class monarch trait "Catherine II" had an additional attraction and control effect on the Cossack cavalry, and tens of thousands of Don Cossack cavalry responded to the call.

These Cossack cavalry were like locusts, gathering from all the steppes to the city of Moscow, and the storm was surging!

"Yermak is willing to be a loyal servant of the Grand Duke, and live and die for the Grand Duke!"

One of the Don Cossack chieftains, who had not yet met the legendary Grand Duke of Moscow, had already decided to swear allegiance to the death.

This group of Don Cossack cavalry enthusiastically supported Catherine's rule.

The northern states also mobilized to reclaim the border cities occupied by the Kingdom of Sweden.

"The Cossacks are so crazy that they should be the special abilities of the tsar...... The Cossack cavalry was a sharp blade in the hands of the tsar, and it was used by the tsar to the greatest extent possible against the enemy and conquered the territory...... Tool. ”

Chutian temporarily stopped in Moscow City, and saw a group of Cossack cavalry outside the city feverishly responding to Catherine's war mobilization order, knowing that it was Catherine's tsarist characteristics that had an effect.

Chutian's "Heavenly Khan" characteristics, the effect on the Cossack cavalry, were completely weaker than "Catherine II".

The Cossack cavalry is equivalent to the exclusive servant army of the tsar, and the characteristics of the "heavenly khan", for the Cossacks, are naturally inferior to the characteristics of the tsar.

"Let me see your panel."

Chu Tian suddenly became interested in Catherine's panel.

Ekaterina is also a player, not an NPC hero after all, so Ekaterina can view the panel for Chutian, who is also a player.

"Nope."

But Catherine did not agree.

As a lord, still maintain due caution.

It seems that this guy still needs a lesson in family law...... However, the general lesson, Catherine is not only not afraid, but is also very willing to accept it, which is very difficult to do.

"If you don't show it, forget it." Chu Tian didn't force a female player to show herself the panel, "Destroy the Golden Horde as soon as possible, and I can also brush up some points." On the Han Empire's side, it doesn't seem to be peaceful, and I'm worried that something will happen. ”

When 3,000 Han cavalry were attacked by the Xiongnu and the entire army was annihilated in Mobei, Prince Yan, Di Qing and Fan Zhongyan were already making every effort to track down. After Chu Tian learned about this, he secretly guarded himself and realized that even if Temujin's influence disappeared, the grassland would not be peaceful.

The steppes in the north of the Han Empire, in the era of cold weapons, were monster houses, and every few hundred years, powerful grassland overlords would be born.

Xiongnu, Xianbei, Rouran, Turkic, Mongol......

After the collapse of each steppe empire, the steppe will fall into chaos, and then a new powerful tribe will unify the steppe and become the new steppe overlord.

Temujin represents the civilization of the Mongol Empire, which, together with the four khanates, is already at the peak of nomadic civilization.

Temujin's rule over the steppes collapsed, and I don't know what overlords will appear on the steppe.

If Chu Tian wants to truly integrate with the prairie, it will take a lot of time. At present, the army of the Xia King's forces is not on the prairie, but has returned to the Guannei, and its control over the prairie has decreased.

There are too many civilizations in "Lords", and each lord has to navigate between a large number of civilizations, and no one can stay out of it.

"The order to mobilize for war has been issued, and the feudal lords everywhere are leading their cavalry and peasants, using wagons to transport grain and grass, to assemble in the city of Moscow. Before the onset of winter, destroy the Golden Horde. ”

Catherine and Chutian stood side by side, looking at the army gathered under the city, and the number of reinforcements arriving from all over the city had reached as many as 100,000.

"Angered Mao Zi, who was on the rise of national power, the Golden Horde was in trouble."

Judging from the attitude of the various vassal states towards Catherine, Chutian knew that the Grand Duchy of Moscow was not far from being promoted to the Tsarist Empire.

Catherine was worried again: "There is also a powerful enemy, the Kingdom of Sweden, and the monarch who rules Northern Europe is not a player, so the position of Norse civilization is very delicate. The Nordic civilization did not have a large population and did not have much potential for war, but their monarchs, their abilities ...... It could be a firearms hero of the Holy Rank. ”

"Kingdom of Sweden? Saint-level firearms hero! ”

Chu Tian opened the leaderboard and quickly glanced at the name of the king of the Kingdom of Sweden.

"Queen Christina...... How could she be a saint-level firearms hero? ”

The name of the King of Sweden is the little-known Christina, to be precise, it should be the Queen of Sweden.

Chu Tian didn't think that the queen of an ordinary European country would be a saint-level firearms hero.

Even though in "Lords", some heroes don't necessarily have the same panels as their exploits, but there is some basis for them.

Christina is also a relatively common name in the West, and there are many queens and princesses with the name Christina. But what specific achievements the Queen Christina of Sweden has, Chutian really can't think of it.

"It's not Christina, she's just the nominal king, in fact she's still a child, and the one who really commands the Nordic army is her father, the Norse Lion, Gustav II."

"It turned out to be Gustav, this is a ruthless character......"

Chu Tian probably knew why Gustav II became the representative hero of the firearms class in "Lords".

Gustav II was a 17th-century European military reformer who revolutionized artillery and perfected linear tactics, fought wars with Denmark, Tsarist Russia, and Poland, and led the Swedish army to defeat the Holy Roman Empire and the Catholic League during the Thirty Years' War.

Under its rule, Sweden became the hegemon of Northern Europe, suppressing Tsarist Russia for a time, until the 18th century, when Peter the Great defeated Sweden, which was defeated.

With Sweden, which has a small population, suppressing the Baltic powers, invading the German hinterland, and firearms-related military reforms that have had a lasting impact on the use of firearms in modern times, it is indeed possible that Gustav II is a saint-level firearms hero as Catherine said.

For Eastern Han players who did not know about the Thirty Years' War in Europe, the vast majority of people did not know about Gustav II, because the light of Gustav II was replaced by the later Napoleon. In "Lords", the upper limit of firearms technology is not at the level of the Napoleonic era, and Gustav II is already a top firearms hero.

Players who know the history of Europe in the Eastern Han Dynasty must know Gustav II, a fierce Nordic old man.

The Thirty Years' War in Europe took place at the intersection of the Ming and Qing dynasties. At this time, the representative heroes of the Eastern Han District were the generals of the Eight Banners in the early Qing Dynasty, the generals of the late Ming Dynasty, and the generals of the Southern Ming Dynasty.

After 30 years of war, Europe's modernization has accelerated, and the efficiency of firearms has been higher than that of the East.

In the face of such a tricky enemy, even if the population of the Nordic civilization was not large, Chu Tian was a little worried.

The firearms are relatively special, and the Shenji Battalion under Chu Tian's command has made Temujin suffer a lot, while Gustav's firearms are difficult to judge their specific power before they really fight.

"Not only that, but Gustav's men, in addition to firearms, also have Viking berserkers. The Vikings were born in Northern Europe. That's why he dared to take the initiative to attack our cities in the north. If it were an ordinary monarch, I would have defeated the Kingdom of Sweden and annexed Northern Europe. ”

Catherine pointed out the two characteristic arms of the Norse civilization - firearms and Viking berserkers.

Each civilization in "Lords" has its own unique troops, even in Nordic with a small population, there are powerful troops and heroes, after all, their ancestors were once broad, and it is also their pride to give birth to northern lions like Gustav II.

"Gustav II, you shouldn't dare to go deep into the hinterland of the Eastern European Plain, otherwise, you only need to clear the wilderness, and his firearms will collapse due to lack of supplies. Black powder can be expensive. ”

Chu Tian thought about it, he didn't spend much money to help Xia Liang set up the Shenji Battalion.

However, the Shenji Battalion has repeatedly made meritorious achievements and is worth the money.

"That's exactly what worries me. Gustav II wanted to become the hegemon of the North, to suppress my Grand Duchy, to suppress Poland and Lithuania, and his ambitions matched his talents. But with the financial resources and population of the Nordic countries, they could not satisfy their ambitions, nor could they help him assemble a strong enough army, so he would fight for money and territory. ”

Catherine saw the weakness of Gustav II, the Nordic countries in "Lords" had only 10 million people, and they could not support Gustav II's ambitions.

With a population of 10 million, the number of troops mobilized is only 200,000 or 300,000 at most, and any more will already be overloaded and the national strength will be exhausted.

"You mean that Attila will use Gustav II as a vanguard?"

"Why isn't that possible? St. Petersburg is on the Baltic coast, and if St. Petersburg is captured, Gustav will also receive a batch of gold, silver and population. ”

Catherine's tone was heavy.

In Stockholm, the capital of the Kingdom of Sweden, Attila's envoy Breda met with Gustav II.

Breda said respectfully: "Your Majesty the Great Gustavus, your prestige is throughout the Baltic Sea, your name has terrified the Viking kings, and our Attila wants to make a good deal with you. ”

Gustav sat on the throne and said condescendingly: "Attila is the enemy of all Europe, why should I cooperate with it?" I attacked the Grand Duchy of Moscow before, just because I saw warplanes, captured several cities, and gained hundreds of thousands of people. However, now that the Xia King of the Han Empire has intervened in the battlefield, I do not want to offend the East and lead the whole of Northern Europe into the endless abyss of war. ”

Breda shook his head: "This is a bad word, our Attila Majesty, we know that your talent is unmatched in Northern Europe, even in the entire West, there are few people who can compare. His Majesty Attila was willing to pay for a million gold and the territory of the Baltic Sea in exchange for His Majesty's troops. ”

"The territory around the Baltic Sea?!"

At this time, Gustav couldn't help but be moved.

Northern Europe is cold and has a small population, and if he obtains these lands, his population can exceed 20 million, and the population of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth will exceed 10 million.

Breda continued to lobby Gustav to enter the war: "Not only that, Your Majesty Attila, is willing to divide with you the tens of millions of people of the Grand Duchy of Moscow. The population of the Grand Duchy of Moscow is the real wealth. St. Petersburg alone has a population of one million. ”

"St. Petersburg ......"

Gustav couldn't help but think.

The Grand Duchy of Moscow has the largest civilized population in Eastern Europe, and whoever can annex the Grand Duchy of Moscow will become the gendarme of Europe.

The Golden Horde divided part of the territory and population of the Grand Duchy of Moscow, but the main population of the Grand Duchy of Moscow was concentrated near Moscow and St. Petersburg.

This is why the Golden Horde wanted to occupy Moscow, and the Kingdom of Sweden wanted to occupy St. Petersburg, after all, for the sake of the population.

"I'll take care of the deal you offered."

Gustav took Attila's list.

After Breda left, Gustav II stared at the list in a daze.

He had already dismissed the idea of continuing the attack on the Grand Duchy of Moscow, but Attila gave too much. If this operation is successful, then the kingdom of Sweden, which has already dominated northern Europe, will at least double its population and turn the Baltic Sea into its own inland sea.

"To fight, or not to fight? If you fight, you must ask Attila for more people and turn into mercenaries. ”

Gustav hesitated, and the temptation of Attila and the threat of the Grand Duchy of Moscow made Gustav II hesitate.

"Your Majesty, the Grand Duchy of Moscow has issued a mobilization order for war, and it is expected that hundreds of thousands of troops will be assembled in Moscow and St. Petersburg!"

Gustav learned that Catherine was planning revenge.

"War, war......"

Queen Christina, who was playing in the palace, heard her father Gustav talking to herself.

In the Volga Valley, the Golden Horde ruled over the 10 million population of the Grand Duchy of Moscow, and at the request of Temujin, Jochi and Batu sent cavalry to gather troops to various tribes.

Even in the case of nomadic civilizations, one out of ten is quite an exaggerated proportion, and these troops are not yet the people who carry food, but have been transferred by Temujin to professional cavalry, which is equivalent to the whole army as soldiers, intending to march on Moscow again.

Defeated, the Golden Horde will collapse on its own, because no civilization can afford such a huge loss of population.

Temujin had already been driven crazy by Chu Tian.

"It's crazy, if this continues, the Golden Horde is not far from extinction."

Jochi saw groups of nomadic herdsmen and some barbarian tribal warriors join the army, and Temujin once exhausted the national strength of the Golden Horde, the consequences of this can be imagined.

Having won, the Golden Horde turned the Grand Duchy of Moscow into a vassal state, doubled the population, and lost, the Golden Horde lost most of its young and strong population, and no longer had the strength to fight.

Temujin was betting on the Golden Horde.

The Grand Duchy of Moscow and the Golden Horde were frantically bombarded with troops, while the Hunnic Empire was also increasing its troops, and the military strength of the Western Continent was rising rapidly, and the total number of troops was even larger than that of the Eastern Han Dynasty.

War dictates demand.

"Why does it seem that with my arrival, the scale of the war here is getting bigger and bigger?"

Chu Tian stayed in Moscow City and found that the number of reinforcements arriving from all over the country had climbed from 100,000 to 200,000 or 300,000.

I have to say that Maozi's war mobilization order was extremely terrible, and Temujin kicked another iron plate.

Xiao Xuan followed Chu Tian and inspected the army of the Grand Duchy of Moscow outside the city, such a large army was said to be a principality, and Chu Tian did not believe it at all.

An army of hundreds of thousands, which is already the size of an empire.

The population of the Persian Empire was not as large as that of Catherine's principality.

"His Royal Highness King Xia, our troops, in front of so many large armies, don't seem to play a big role."

Xiao Xuan's tone was a little weak.

Last time, after she and Mulan said goodbye to Sophia, there was a turmoil.

The next day, Xiao Xuan got up, had a headache, slept with Mulan, and had to be taken care of by Chutian, which greatly improved Xiao Sui's impression of Chutian.

Chu Tian found that Xiao Xuan's loyalty and favorability had increased, and he had changed from a pitiful 60 to 70.

Xiao Xuan swore that she would never drink the vodka recommended by Sophia again, it was not tea at all, it was terrible.

"Elite cavalry, with the role of elite cavalry."

It is true that the troops brought by Chutian are not much, but their combat power far exceeds that of ordinary troops.

A group of Cossack cavalry passed by, saw Chu Tian with the guards, and had the appearance of an Oriental, probably knew Chu Tian's identity, and after dismounting, he respectfully saluted Chu Tian: "In Nizhny Yermak, come to the Grand Duke of Moscow." You must be the king from the East. ”

"Yermak? I'm guessing you live near the Don River, and you rob the merchants who come and go. ”

Chu Tian looked at the bearded Cossack leader in front of him and recognized that this was a legendary hero.

This guy, however, with hundreds of Cossack cavalry, conquered Siberia for the Tsar and expanded the territory of Tsarist Russia several times as much as the Cossack chieftain.

Now Yermak is still a Cossack horse thief.

"I didn't expect you to know about the villain!"

Yermak admired Chutian very much at this time, and as a Cossack leader and horse thief leader, he couldn't help but be flattered.
