The unification of Langya in five years is still more than three years away.

Under the premise that Chutian controls the two counties, it is even less difficult to unify the Langya Kingdom than the achievements of the previous stage.

After digesting the two counties, Chu Tian could start coveting the other counties.

Bitterness is not satisfied, vested in Long, looking back at Shu.

Human desires are endless, and once they begin to expand, they are not possible to stop until they reach their limits.

"What happened?"

Xue Yue saw that Chu Tian was in a daze, and as a player, she knew that Chu Tian was looking at the panel.

"A little bit of a small gain......

Chu Tian didn't mention to anyone that he had an achievement system.

In order to restore law and order in Yangdu County, Chutian stationed a large army in Yangdu City for several days, and Fang Xuanling assisted Chutian in appointing new officials in Yangdu City to restore order.

It is easier to destroy than to build, and after a city is sacked by rebels, it is difficult to restore its former prosperity in less than a year and a half.

Fortunately, Chu Tian has Fang Xuanling.

Fang Xuanling not only joined the army, but also was a civil minister at the level of prime minister, and quickly determined the civilian team to govern Yangdu County.

A civil official was parachuted into Xiacheng to serve as the county commander, and then a group of disciples of the family in Yangdu County were promoted as officials to win the hearts of the people, and then a group of civil officials from Xiacheng and Xueyue Town were transferred to Yangdu County to check and balance the local family.

"Yangdu County will be divided into two factions: local families and airborne civil officials. If Yangdu County wants to restore prosperity, it needs to win over local families, let them come forward to appease people's hearts, collect money and grain, and establish order as soon as possible. When Yangdu County was restored, they began to support the airborne civil officials to suppress these families and reduce the family's control over the local area. ”

Fang Xuanling proposed a counterbalance to Chutian.

Sure enough, the methods of ancient politicians were ruthless enough, and the advice provided by Fang Xuanling was to cross the river and demolish the bridge. Win over the local gentry, stabilize the people's hearts, and then suppress the squire after stabilization, and gradually strengthen the centralization of power.

This is also a means usually used in troubled times.

At the beginning of the establishment of the dynasty, there were often a large number of princes and uncles, and after the dynasty was stable, they found various reasons to cut the feudal domain and kill the heroes......

"Do as you say. Zhou Yafu was appointed as the county lieutenant, responsible for pacifying the villages and towns that had not yet surrendered to Yangdu County, and at the same time garrisoning Yangdu City to improve public security and guard against incoming invaders. ”

After Chutian appointed a group of civil officials, he decided to appoint Zhou Yafu as a guard general, stationed in the capital of Yang, mainly defending.

The county lieutenant of Yangdu was a position appointed by Chutian to Zhou Yafu himself, which was not recognized by the imperial court and did not bring special effects. Theoretically, Chu Tian can be a self-proclaimed general, but he will be hated by some princes.

At present, Chutian calls himself Kaiyang Ling and Cavalry Captain, and privately gives his subordinates official positions to win people's hearts.

He left 10,000 people for Zhou Yafu, except for the Xiliu Battalion, the others were basically first- and second-order infantry archers.

At present, Zhou Yafu's loyalty is 91 points, and even if he is coerced and lured by other lords, there is basically no possibility of betrayal.

However, in "Lord", you can see the loyalty of military generals, which does not mean that there will be no accidents when appointing military generals with high loyalty.

First of all, the leader must appear in front of the generals to see the loyalty of the generals.

Secondly, the loyalty of generals will change. If the commander guards a remote place, the lord will not be able to know about the loss of loyalty for a long time. The emperor is far away, and it is easy to rebel.

Finally, various contingencies can cause the loyalty of the generals to fluctuate dramatically. For example, the lord is defeated by the enemy, the military is co-opted by the enemy, and the lord kills the minister for no reason...... These events can cause a general's loyalty to drop from 90 to 60, depending on the individual.

Zhou Yafu should not be a military general who is easy to rebel.

"Qi Xiaobai and Wu Sangui went to take refuge with Ling Feng, the lord of Ju County. Now that Ling Feng has two historical generals under his command, Xu Sheng and Wu Sangui, you must be careful. ”

Some of the free players who secretly played for Chu Tian informed Wu Sangui's whereabouts.

"There are two historical generals in Ju County...... I know. ”

Chu Tian spread out the map of the vicinity, and Ju County was just east of Yangdu County.

Generally speaking, cities are located next to rivers and lakes to draw water, and the areas where rivers flow are prone to alluvial plains, and the soil is fertile for agriculture.

Kaiyang County and Yangdu County are close to the Yi River, while Ju County is close to the Shu River.

To the east of Yangdu County is Ju County, to the east of Ju County is the coastal hills, and to the east is Xihai County and the sea.

These two counties belong to the Langya Kingdom, and they are also the targets of Chutian's next strategy.

"Let Zhou Yafu beware of Wu Sangui and Xu Sheng, and arrange scouts by the Yi River, once Wu Sangui and Xu Sheng send troops, they must cross the Yi River, but they can attack halfway."

With the existence of Yihe, it is easier to defend, Wu Sangui can't get by, and Chutian can't get by.

After arranging the personnel stationed in Ju County, Chu Tian's squad returned to Xia City.

Kaiyang County is the basic plate of Chutian, because the plains of Kaiyang County are larger, and it will not be a problem to feed tens of millions of people with agriculture in the future.

Xueyue led 10,000 people to garrison Xueyue Town, echoing Zhou Yafu from afar.

In fact, only 5,000 of her 10,000 people were professional soldiers, and 5,000 were improvised Xiangyong, and after returning to Xia Town, she immediately disbanded Xiangyong.

Xia City, at this time, has regained its former prosperity.

The anti-Chutian alliance existed in name only, and Kaiyang County was all reduced to Chutian's territory, and there was no trace of the enemy army, so Xiacheng opened the city gate and was bustling as before.

The coalition forces didn't even look at the walls of Xia City.

"It is necessary to compensate the horse merchants 10,563 taels of silver, and compensate the strangers and the common people 11,534 taels of silver......"

Cool in the summer calculates the cost of using the Fire Horse Array.

After the use of the Fire Horse Array, the horses whose tails were burned were bought by the lord's mansion, which was a large expense. The Lord's Mansion also received a batch of horses with charred tails.

"Lord Lord's class is back to the city!"

Xia Liang, Li Kui and other officials who were handling affairs in the lord's mansion were alarmed and immediately went out of the city to greet them.

Chu Tian had a huge army stationed outside the city, and only brought some of the elite into the city.

Now most of the soldiers under Chu Tian's command are surrendered troops, coming from Langya City or coalition forces.

Chu Tian also had to devote special energy to reorganizing the army, dismissing some weak soldiers and low-level troops, and leaving the elite among them.

These demos are not low-level, and they are better than newly recruited recruits.

The officials of Xia City finally relaxed when they saw Chu Tian's army.

Xia Cheng has experienced one of the biggest crises, and as long as there is a defeat, Xia Cheng may be attacked by the coalition forces.

"I have heard that you defeated Wu Dun in Liangshan Town, and I will give you a hundred acres of fertile land."

Chu Tian was very satisfied with Xia Liang's performance, and the only way to win her over was to reward the field.

After owning two county seats, Chutian now has no shortage of fields, and 100 acres of farmland can still be obtained.

It is not too much to keep the merit of Xia Cheng and reward thousands of acres of fertile land.

Back at the Lord's Mansion, Chu Tian handed over a construction drawing to Fang Xuanling: "This is the construction drawing of the Confucian Temple, a seventh-level cultural building, and you arrange resources and labor to build it." ”

Chutian got a special building and asked Fang Xuanling to arrange for it to be built.

[Name]: Confucius Temple

[Grade]: Seventh-level cultural building

[General Effect]: Culture Prosperity +20%; Increased chance of a liege receiving support from a scholar; +1% chance of special talents for officials.

[Special Effect 1 - Master of the World]: When you have the special hero Confucius, the effect of Confucius Temple is +50%.

[Special Effect 2 - Educate the People]: If this building is built in an alien city, the special effect will be unlocked.

[Special Effect 3 - Imperial Examination System]: When the lord implements the imperial examination system, the special effect is unlocked.

This was the first time that Chu Tian had obtained the construction blueprints of a seventh-level building.

The bonuses of the Temple of Confucius are very exaggerated, and there are three special effects that are not unlocked.

The first effect can only be activated when Confucius is recruited.

I didn't expect Confucius to be able to recruit too.

It is estimated that Confucius is a special talent like the poet Du Fu, but Confucius's influence is greater than Du Fu's.

The second effect requires the Confucian temple to be built in the cities of other civilizations, so that they can submit to the Chinese culture. This effect is very overbearing.

At present, Chutian does not control any alien cities, so it is impossible to build Confucian temples in other civilization areas.

However, if he gets more drawings of the Confucian Temple in the future, Chu Tian does not mind building the Confucian Temple in Osaka, Edo, Rome, and Paris to educate the barbarians.

The third effect is the imperial examination system.

At present, Chutian does not have the energy to implement the imperial examination system, but with the expansion of the territory, the imperial examination system will definitely be implemented in the future.

The liege can see the attributes of his subordinates, but they can only view them after their subordinates have pledged allegiance.

Now that Chu Tian has a population of 800,000, it is impossible for Chu Tian to ask them to be loyal one by one and then check their attributes.

Only through the imperial examination, including the Wenju and the martial examination, a group of officials and ordinary generals can be screened out, and then the Chutian checks (palace examinations) and arranges positions according to their abilities and characteristics.

With the player panel, Chu Tian can recognize talents at a glance.

The only thing you can't see is character.

The Confucian Temple also has the bonus of being supported by the family doctors.

That's a good thing. If Chutian wants to get Xuzhou, he must first get the support of the Xuzhou family.

Disobedience is also a tricky thing.

It is basically unrealistic to want to destroy the Maison.

As long as there is a bureaucratic class, the family will exist. The old family is broken, and a new family will be born.

The imperial examination system has accelerated the change of the family to a certain extent.

Chu Tian didn't think about the problem of guarding the world, and he was still fighting the world.

When it comes to conquering the world, as long as the interests of the family are tied to their own interests, they will do their best to help them expand.

Fang Xuanling accepted the drawings of the Confucian Temple and immediately went down to make arrangements.

If Xia Cheng had a seventh-level cultural building, coupled with the cultural influence bonus brought by Du Fu, Chu Tian thought that maybe one day he could conquer the world through culture.

Promote the Chinese culture as the mainstream culture, retain the culture of other civilizations, and reduce them to a minority culture......

This is probably Chu Tian's thoughts.

He swears that he has a great respect for cultural diversity.

Chu Tian found that he was thinking far away again, and quickly withdrew his thoughts.

There are still a lot of chores waiting for him to deal with in the Lord's Mansion.

Now his territory is a bit chaotic, and the various towns recruit a large number of soldiers when they start wars, and as a result, the coalition forces have never been able to reach Xia City, and each town has many more professional soldiers.

"Dismissal of redundant professional soldiers in various towns and reorganization of the army."

Chu Tian didn't want to raise too many idle soldiers, and the burden on the finances was too great.

"Xia City recruited 3,000 recruits during this period, Langya City recruited 5,000 recruits, plus the original 8,000 defenders of the two cities, a total of 16,000 people. You brought back 7,000 people, as well as Zhou Yafu's 10,000 people, Xueyue's 5,000 people, and the soldiers in the territory have reached the scale of 38,000. Among them, the fine willow camp and the shooting sound camp are very high. As much as 80,000 taels of military pay were required each month. This does not include the cost of replacing weapons and raising war horses. ”

Xia Liang calculated the simplest account for Chu Tian.

When Chu Tian heard the astonishing figures, he couldn't help but be secretly surprised.

The explosion of troops is cool for a while, and if you really want to maintain such a large army, the finances are overwhelmed.

The army demanded money, food, and horses, and after the separation of soldiers and peasants, they did not produce anything, and spent money like running water.

The cost of high-tier troops is several times or even more than ten times that of low-tier classes (including equipment).

Chu Tian also planned to recruit more high-level troops.

"Based on the current population size and fiscal revenue and expenditure, the subordinate recommended maintenance of the army size is 5,000 high-level troops and 20,000 low-level troops. Or, 3,000 high-level troops, 30,000 low-level troops. ”

Chu Tian had to make a choice.

He couldn't do it all this time. Taking the elite route means cutting out some of the redundant low-level soldiers.

"Five thousand high-level troops and twenty thousand low-level troops, I will reorganize the army in three days."

Chu Tian set a time limit for himself.

"Hmm. During this time, there were many things happening in the Eastern Han District, and my subordinates thought that you should pay attention to these things. ”

The leader of Hanzhong County openly launched the Yellow Turban Uprising, and at the same time, in the name of Wudou Midao, the displaced people of Hanzhong County went to take refuge one after another, gathering hundreds of thousands, including more than 100,000 young and strong. Now that he has captured Nanzheng City, everyone thinks that he is the lord with the most troops, and as for the combat effectiveness, because he is a peasant army, it may not be satisfactory. ”

"There are already a lot of more than 100,000 peasant troops, and if he dares to launch a peasant uprising, there must be a special bonus."

Chu Tian had met Zhang Dao, a very silent and low-key lord during the National War.

"Hanzhong Taishou and Yizhou Assassin Shi are trying to encircle and suppress it. His uprising seemed to be huge, but in fact it was in danger of being suppressed at any time. The cities in Yangzhou that have been captured by the lord include Juchao, Haiyan, and Ganxian...... The cities in Jingzhou that were captured by the lord include Xiangnan, Qujiang, Chaling, ......"

When Chu Tian heard the report, there were basically county towns in every state that were attacked by the player lord, and there was no shortage of cities that had been captured.

There are also many strange reasons for crusading against these cities.

Chutian occupied Kaiyang County and Yangdu County, and claimed to be crusading against Taishan thieves.

Zhang Dao was more direct and launched a peasant uprising, with the goal of overthrowing the imperial court.

Other lords are under the banner of crusading against bandits, acting for the heavens, and crusading against rebels.

The imperial court lost control over the locality, and as long as there were soldiers and food, it could divide one side, provided that it had to deal with the relationship with the surrounding assassins and taishou.

Chu Tian had an understanding of the general situation in the Eastern Han Dynasty, and powerful lords would basically try to capture a county town as a stronghold.

"Finally, the sixth-level cavalry battalion has been built, do you want to consider recruiting sixth-order cavalry?"
