Chapter 327: Peeling Back the Cocoon (I)
The first batch of 217 people was selected by the Wudang Flying Army. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
While lamenting the difficulty in selecting materials for special troops, Yu Buzhi also secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Of course, he hoped that the Wudang Flying Army would take shape as soon as possible, but recruiting troops would cost money, and the stronger the troops, the higher the cost of recruitment. The Wudang Flying Army is a special type of military with a name and surname in history, and the recruitment cost is much higher than that of ordinary troops, almost catching up with the recruitment cost of the Bai Yu soldiers.
At present, Zhululing does not have much spare money, and does not have the economic basis for large-scale military expansion.
This is because the spoils of the territory have not yet been completely sold.
High-grade war horses are hard currency, don't worry about finding a buyer, dozens of war horses will soon be sold all in exchange for the much-needed funds.
However, the sales of armor did not go well.
Armor can be produced all over China, system towns can, player territories can also be, and even the loot of the crusade system cottage also has armor, armor does not have rarity, unless the quality and function of armor have characteristics or advantages, otherwise you can only make concessions from the price. With the continuous development of each player's territory and the gradual increase in production capacity, the blacksmith shop not only meets the internal armament and production needs of the territory, but also has a large amount of idle capacity, and the surplus goods produced can be sold to avoid the waste of manpower and create a certain amount of additional value.
The blacksmith shop can make agricultural tools and armor, and the market demand for armor is far greater than that of agricultural tools.
As a result, there are a lot of orders for armor in the market.
The competition is too fierce, and the price war is in full swing.
Some players have seized a small amount of armor from the system copycat and left it for no benefit, choosing to sell it at a low price, which often falls below the accepted cost of production. Fortunately, the number of armor from this source is very small, and the types of armor are often varied, which is difficult to get into the elegant hall, and the impact on the market is often very limited.
What really has a big impact on the armor market is the territory of players with outstanding productivity.
Territories with a large number of high-ranking blacksmiths, to be exact.
The cost of the same armor produced in different territories may not be the same.
Regardless of the differences in salary, related building levels, and various bonuses of the territory (ancestors, territory titles, territory attributes, etc.), a territory with high-level skilled talents has higher production efficiency and lower costs, and even ordinary territories can be sold at cost price to make a slight profit. In addition, there are many types of armor, and the higher the skill level of skilled personnel, the more comprehensive the armor manufacturing and repair technology mastered, and the high-level armor is often more profitable.
The thickness of senior talents determines the strength of the territory, which is by no means an empty word.
It stands to reason that those stores should create more wealth for the territory, but due to the high salary, high production efficiency and rich commodity variety, it is not enough to offset the huge hard expenditure brought by high wages, unless the territory can develop special commodities with high enough profits, otherwise the financial dilemma is difficult to change.
The 5,000 sets of armor captured were not high-end goods, and they were varied.
Zhululing wanted to get rid of it quickly, but the price was not high, and he has not sold it so far.
The armor was not sold, the proceeds of the loot shrank, and the funds for the deer were still relatively tight.
Fortunately, the world and Aoshi are very interesting, and they did not urge Yu Buzhi to repay the money, and after paying commissions, pensions, and necessary construction funds, Yu Buzhi still has a little money left in his hand. If Wang Ping is not so picky in his selection of materials, Yu Buzhi will have to limit the establishment of the new army.
Lack of money is a stubborn disease that plagues the development of the territory.
The adjustment of the territorial industrial structure is not a one-time thing, and it requires enough patience.
Xu Shu found Yu Buzhi and reported on the progress of the investigation into the previous attack.
"The interrogation of more than 200 prisoners has been completed, and the following information has been repeatedly confirmed."
"The Water Pirates were an accident, not worth mentioning, the troops besieging the Deer Leader came from three different forces."
"The first force: the rebels in southern Yizhou."
"These rebels are all from Juti County, and the Juti rebels are the most powerful of the Yinan rebels, although the number of troops is relatively small, the military training is very high, and there are more than 10,000 professional soldiers. In the previous attack, the Zhuti rebels mobilized 8,000 people, leaving only a few troops to bluff in Jiangyang County, which can be regarded as pouring out. ”
"The leader of the Zhuti rebels was a Han man named Huang Yi with a deep scar on his face. Huang Yi's experience is somewhat legendary, it is said that he was a death row prisoner, was locked up in the county jail waiting to be beheaded, the scar was tortured in prison, but he did not expect Zhu Ti to break out in rebellion, the rebel Yimin killed the county, expelled the officials, he was released, and then joined the rebel army. ”
Huang Yi quickly showed good military qualities and a sense of the overall situation, he persuaded the rebels to receive military training, suggested that other counties should join the uprising, and played well in many battles, standing out among the rebels. After the death of the then leader of the Juti rebels, he was elected as the new leader, and he won many battles and had a high prestige. ”
After Ma Xiang raised his troops, it was the Zhuti rebels who took the lead in breaking through the central defense line painstakingly arranged by the imperial army, and drove the other southern rebels to the north, making the situation in Yizhou completely erosive. Unexpectedly, Huang Yi did not take advantage of the situation to continue to attack the northern counties, but instead led the main force day and night, from Jiangyang County to Ba County, attacking us and chasing the deer territory. The rebels didn't know what was going on within the rebels, but no one dared to ask. ”
"Subordinate inferences: 1. Huang Yi has served in the army, it may be an officer and soldier, or it may be a rebel army, he is very familiar with military training and grouping, and his performance when he joins the rebel army is eye-catching, and he is not temporary."
"2, Huang Yi is a Han Chinese, non-Zhu Ti accent, unknown origin, such a person became the leader of the Yimin rebels, no matter how you look at it, I think it is strange, my subordinates carefully inquired about the cause of the accidental death of the former leader of the rebels, and there is reason to believe that the death of the former leader is probably not an accident, but was framed by Huang Yi in order to replace him. His experience is suspicious, and his subordinates even suspect that his name is fake. ”
"3. From the pre-war preparations of the Zhuti rebels, the interspersed routes, and the cooperation with the other two forces, all kinds of details show that Huang Yi's attack on Zhululing was not a whim, but a premeditated plan. He gave up attacking the northern counties and led most of his army to the Zhulu Territory, and his determination was astonishing; The Juti rebels sent the most troops, and the last to withdraw from the battlefield, the sacrifice was huge, and the will to defeat us was so strong that his subordinates could not figure out why he did this. ”
Yu Buzhi frowned: "Those captives don't know the reason? ”
"I don't know, the rebels are used to following orders."
Xu Shu said solemnly: "My lord, my subordinates think that Huang Yi is very dangerous and has strong hostility towards us. It is not ruled out that he will make a comeback in the future. ”
