Chapter 190: Zhou Bai
Another two days have passed, and Zhou Bai's army has set up a solid military camp on the land of Yizhou, even if it is the army of the NPC forces, it is not expected to be able to break through the military camp in a short time, let alone Yizhou, which is still relatively backward.
On the coast, the fleet also found a suitable place to dock, and a military port was built here, and a large area of sea was reserved for the ships of the second group of troops to dock next.
In the past two days, Zhou Bai was not idle, but after the prototype of the military camp was completed, he led a part of the army to land in the aboriginal tribes everywhere, some small settlements, only a few hundred people, and those who could handle it were a few fifth-order soldiers and junior and intermediate generals, not even a soldier of the legion. Under strong military pressure, Zhou Bai also adopted the means of inducement, and promised that after returning to Lu Shuang, he would not treat them as slaves, but as equal subjects.
As long as the army intervenes, everyone in the settlement will be arrested one by one, but because Zhou Bai explained in advance that they should try not to have bloody conflicts, they are only restricted in their personal freedom, not to the point of losing their lives, and they have no endless hatred for this outsider.
Of course, there are also some settlements that are more "cooperative", their tribes are relatively small in number, and they are often threatened and oppressed by other tribes, and they are estimated to be oppressed all the time by their own strength. The appearance of the Flying City Legion provided them with a good shelter, Zhou Bai implemented a soft policy, still let the local tribe people hold certain official positions, but will send soldiers to garrison the tribe, and later send someone to serve as the village head, firmly control the military and political power, but relatively speaking, the local people have a certain degree of autonomy.
The soldiers stationed here, as long as the surrendered tribe does not rebel, generally will not interfere in too many internal affairs, but if there is a foreign want to attack this tribe, then sorry, these garrison soldiers will help and repel the people who come to harass, which is the result of communication and consultation between the legion and the local tribe, and it is also their best choice in order to survive.
Because the language in Real World can be translated instantly, there is no need to worry about the problems caused by communication between the two parties. In the communication and negotiation, the shock brought by civilization is also deeply engraved in the minds of the local tribes, and some craftsmen or production tools brought by Zhou Bai have greatly improved their production efficiency, and in the future, they will change from the concept of security brought by the conqueror to the concept of the gospel brought by the conqueror.
But in the process, there will definitely be many tribes that want to resist, and strong means must be used, on the way to advance, Zhou Bai did not allow exceptions, in two or three days, Zhou Bai and his legions forced to land in thirty-five settlements, with a total number of nearly fifteen thousand. You must know that most of these are village-level settlements, and it is normal for the number of people to be small, if you encounter a town-level settlement, it is estimated that a forced landing can increase the population by more than 3,000, and it is known from the population of the local tribes that there are many surrounding tribes or settlements, but the distance between them is relatively large and scattered.
Three days later, the second batch of troops finally arrived in Yizhou, bringing sufficient supplies to Zhou Bai, as well as 50,000 available soldiers, and the speed of expanding Yizhou to the east would be greatly accelerated.
In order to arrive in Yizhou earlier, the fleet led by Zhou Bai did not bring too much food, and it was only enough for a month and a half of food and fresh water, but when encountering some islands on the way, you can stay for a while to get fresh water and hunt to supplement food, but it is not a long-term solution, if the second army arrives a few days late, it is estimated that Zhou Bai's army may have to grab food from the local residents, and even barely enough, and the food consumption of 30,000 high-ranking soldiers is not ordinary.
Among the 50,000 people in the second unit, there are 20,000 fifth-order soldiers and 30,000 sixth-order soldiers, and a large part of the sixth-order soldiers are smashed out by Lu Shuang with skill books, and the chances of B-qualified soldiers being promoted to sixth-order soldiers are not great.
Zhou Bai decided to send fifth-order soldiers to garrison each tribe that had been forced to land, and the number was less than 300, and sent one sixth-order soldier and ten fifth-order soldiers to be responsible for the security and stability of the settlement; If the number is between 300 and 1,000, the maximum number of soldiers of the sixth order and thirty soldiers of the fifth order will be dispatched, depending on the situation; Settlements with a number of 1,000 to 3,000 people are basically town-level settlements, with a large number of people and military generals, and a lot of soldiers need to be sent to garrison, up to three eighth-order soldiers, ten sixth-order soldiers, and one hundred fifth-order soldiers. Settlements with more than 3,000 people were guarded by military generals to prevent rebellions.
In addition, 20,000 fifth-order soldiers are limited, and with the current speed of advancement, the settlement that will soon be forced to land will exceed the range that 20,000 fifth-order soldiers can garrison, so Zhou Bai decided to adapt measures to local conditions and recruit troops on the spot to supplement his own troops, but also to prevent them from rebelling, the recruited soldiers were dispersed to different places, and these soldiers were forbidden to stay in the local garrison, basically east-west, north-south exchange.
As for the legions directly under Zhou Bai, they continued to expand around, with their strong strength, a very large number of settlements fell under Lu Shuang's name every day, and at this rate, it is estimated that Lu Shuang's territory population can be increased by 500,000 per month, an average of more than 10,000 people per day. And after these aboriginal tribes surrender, as long as they go through the process, they can also enjoy the attribute bonus of Feitian City's talents, and there is no difference between the two in terms of NPC qualifications.
In the past few days, Zhou Bai has also experienced a lord mode, as the main executor of this operation, he not only has to open up and develop Yizhou for Lu Shuang, but also has to take into account the daily expenses of the army, the biggest of which is the consumption of food, which is hundreds of thousands of units of food consumption every day, which makes the pressure on logistics and supply great.
Although you can use the flying pigeon to pass the book and let Tianya Village on the other side of the strait transport grain, because there are two troops coming to Yizhou before and after, so there is basically no problem with the waterway, but you must know that there are thousands of people in Tianya Village, and the food it produces is very small, which is not enough to eat itself, and it needs to be sent from Feitian City. To put it simply, if Zhou Bai and the others who are far away in Yizhou want to get food supplies, they must be transported from the people of Feitian City to Dongye County, and then from the dock to Tianya Village, and finally Tianya Village to Yizhou, the supply line is too long, and any mistake in any of these links may make the troops in Yizhou hungry.
Therefore, after Zhou Bai forced landed in a third-level town with a very good geographical location, he directly occupied it and renamed it Zhenhai Town, using it as the stronghold of Lu Shuang's action in Yizhou, and the living talents brought over also lived here, and then some other tribes with fierce resistance moved some people here, believing that at the "foot of the Son of Heaven", these people did not dare to make too many mistakes. At the same time, some farmers were recruited from various tribes, provided with agricultural tools and seeds, paid them, concentrated their fields, solved the food problem for the army, and became self-reliant.
Because after the game update, it takes three months for food crops to mature, fallow for a month, and only the first week of the first month can be sown in a cycle, and if you miss the planting time, you can only wait until the next month. This is the beginning of June in the game, and this game change started in early October last year, and today is just the day of sowing, so you need to hurry up and act, and there is a busy scene of farming on the outskirts of Zhenhai Town.
Zhou Bai mentioned one thing in his letter to Lu Shuang, hoping that Lu Shuang could get a city heart as soon as possible, he already has a third-level township here, and there are no major problems in terms of population and architecture, and what is currently lacking is the heart of this city. If you can get a city heart as soon as possible and upgrade Zhenhai Town to a small city, then Zhou Bai will be able to open a teleportation array here and connect to several cities in Feitian City, Tiefan City and other territories, so that there is no need to go to great lengths to transport materials from Tianya Village, and soldiers and production talents can be directly teleported over, which will greatly promote the development of Yizhou. 2k reading web
