Chapter 1113: The Storm of the Month (I)
Tempus fugit.
In the blink of an eye, three months have passed since the decisive battle of the enclave, and in the past three months, something has happened in the game.
First things first: the escalation of harassment and interception by the Japanese at sea.
At first, the Japanese only dared to attack scattered ships, and then they became more and more emboldened, and transport ships without the escort of the sailor could become targets, and later, the convoy with escort did not dare to sit back and relax. The Japanese found that it was much easier to attack and reinforce at sea than to attack and defend on land, and they were often captured in sea raids and harassments, and the more they attacked the ships, the more ships they fought, and the Japanese who tasted the sweetness quickly expanded their input, and the size of the assembled fleet gradually expanded, and there was a tendency to become stronger and stronger the more they fought.
As the transport fleet and war teams were successively lost, the Wajima Expeditionary Force not only reduced its troops, but also had logistical problems. The troops and supplies needed for the war on Wajima were all supplied by sea from Shenzhou, but the naval battle was no better than the land battle, and it was difficult to escape after defeat, seeing ships full of supplies being captured and ships transporting reinforcements sunk, which made the expeditionary force very injured.
In the past, the Japanese also often attacked and harassed the transportation lines, and the results of the battles were not significant, but the recent sudden and obvious progress was due to the fact that the Japanese paid more attention to attacking the transportation lines, but in all fairness, it was also directly related to the weakening of the expeditionary force itself. It's not the size of the force that is weakened, it's the generals. First, Gan Ning returned to the Flying Fish Territory, and then the Jiangnan Commander and the Huzhou Commander recalled Hao Zhao and the barbarian generals respectively, resulting in the Wadao Front's lack of historical generals for a time.
Although Qu Chen arrived in Beppu, he was a cavalry general, and there was no reason for a cavalry general to drift on the sea with the ship for a long time, so he was mostly active on land. After the decisive battle in the enclave, Gan Ning quickly teleported back to the Flying Fish Territory, rushed to Wadao by speedboat to join the Jiaojiao camp that had set off in advance, and led the joint sailors to fight a few battles with the Japanese sailors, and won many times, but it was difficult to recover the decline of the overall situation. After suffering several losses in a row, the Japanese people also learned to be obedient, broke into pieces, ran when they saw Gan Ning's banner, and found other targets to start, Gan Ning was also helpless about this.
Fighting in alien lands, logistics are constantly hit, and the consequences are self-evident.
The strength of the coalition forces is gradually strained.
Beppu is the only stronghold of the Han in Wajima, not only gradually producing, but also conscripting troops on the spot if necessary, but Beppu Castle is not populated, and even the output is far from the output of conscription, and it is currently in the stage of recuperation. Everyone knows that Beppu is the base of the Han army's conquest of Wajima, and even if the current attack tactics of the Wafu people cause heavy losses to the expeditionary force and there is a certain shortage of troops, no one asks Beppu to recruit troops, after all, the development of Beppu Castle is related to the future of the Wajima war.
The situation on the Washima front is critical, and I have to speak out and ask for reinforcements from the majority of players.
The Wajima Expeditionary Force is organized by the player spontaneously, and there is basically no profit from participation, but it will continue to be depleted, and it stands to reason that this model is difficult to last, and once the big guy's enthusiasm passes, the expedition should come to an end. The Wajima Expeditionary Force has been tossing and turning for nearly a year, and the consumption of troops and materials is astronomical, so it should have died down a long time ago and returned to its own home, but what is surprising is that the expeditionary force has still maintained a considerable degree of cohesion.
The alliance leader called for reinforcements, and the player world responded enthusiastically.
The lords pledged one after another, and a large number of troops or supplies were assembled in the coastal area of Qingxuyang, waiting for the alliance to organize a powerful escort sailor division to be sent to Wadao. On the other hand, free players use legions as units to organize people to fight in Wajima, so as to ensure that the situation on Wajima will not collapse before a large reinforcement from the territory arrives.
The player is so obsessed with the use of soldiers that the NPC world is difficult to understand.
Xu Shu, who has always paid attention to the war situation on Wajima, couldn't help but find a fish to solve his puzzles.
"1. The expedition to Wajima is the first time that the player independently plans and executes the action, and it is outside the territory of the army, in terms of personal perception, I think everyone has a high sense of accomplishment and satisfaction, so they are willing to continue to pay; 2. For some reason, players generally have a special dislike for that island; 3. The leader of the alliance is quite capable, he knows that most of the players are hot for three minutes, so when everyone's enthusiasm is at its highest, he refuses to be pressed by the whole army, and consciously adopts a rotation strategy, so that the alliance can maintain its stamina; 4. It has something to do with us, Zhulu led Beppu, and it is a second-level capital, and it has opened a teleportation with Shenzhou Station, which not only facilitates players to enter and exit Wajima, but also allows everyone to see the hope of using Beppu as a base to eat away at Wajima, and refuses to give up. ”
Xu Shu suddenly realized, but Yu Buzhi actually didn't say everything thoroughly.
There is another important reason: at the instigation of some people, Wajima has become a tool for resolving conflicts.
What should I do if two players (or clans) don't like each other?
In the past, it was very simple, what you wanted to play the game was enmity, life and death were downplayed, and if you didn't accept it, you would do it!
Two months ago, there was a small episode: the two corps of Sili were going to fight for some reason, and a certain corps commander persuaded him to fight, saying that it was boring to fight like this, and there was a kind of organization of 100 people to go to the Japanese island, and it was limited to ten days, to see who killed more Japanese people, and who killed more would win, and it would be regarded as a practical action to support the just cause of the expeditionary force, it depends on whether you dare or not? The commanders of the two corps who want to go to war feel that it makes sense, it is nothing more than spending more teleportation fees, solving personal grievances and doing public welfare, which is very meaningful! Besides, the guy who persuaded the fight finally lost the sentence "dare not dare", who has the cheekiness to say "dare not"? So the two sides agreed that the forum would send a document and go to Wadao to fight in a group and fight among gentlemen.
The incident quickly became a hot news in the game and was unanimously appreciated by everyone.
Since then, there has been another way to resolve personal grievances between players, and going to Wajima has become popular. Not only can legions go, but freelancers can also call friends to take on missions, and lords can also send troops to compete in an alternative battle on the Wajima front.
Not many people know that this epidemic is driven by people with intentions.
When the two legions of Si Li made an appointment, the commander of the legion who persuaded him was the Star Thunder Heavenly Army.
With the temperament of the Star Thunder Heavenly Army, it is too appropriate to make that kind of suggestion, but the Star Thunder Heavenly Army was coerced by someone, and deceived someone because of the incident of participating in the war, so he had to find two friendly legions to cooperate in a scene, of course, it is not a lie to send hundreds of people to participate in the war, and to do a full set of plays. Xinglei Tianjun thinks that Yu Buzhi is too scheming, and actually came up with such a despicable way to lure players to go to Wadao, but they don't know that Yu Buzhi is also taking the blame for others, and the real mastermind is Jia Xu. After Jia Xu arrived in Wajima, he found that Beppu was not suitable for conscription for the time being, and the enthusiasm of the expeditionary force tended to fade.
That legion gambling war was so hot, naturally someone behind the scenes, first the world and arrogance, good at someone's suggestion, found that the gambling war mode was popular for the expedition to Wajima, and it was even more helpful for him to achieve the goal of talking with the queen, so he decisively mobilized the members of the alliance to wave their flags and become free sailors......
Up to now, the security of the logistical supply lines of the Wajima Expeditionary Force is still not optimistic.
The second thing: the ant caravan ascends to the Chamber of Commerce.
A month ago, the Ant Caravan met all the necessary conditions and successfully transformed into a chamber of commerce, realizing a gorgeous transformation from a merchant to a seat. Considering that Ant was established in just a few years, it was promoted to the Chamber of Commerce so quickly, which was a small miracle among the merchant forces, and Su San became a recognized star of hope in the shopping mall.
The third thing: the establishment of the city of Shangjunhu.
After nearly three months of intense preparation (pulling) preparation, Shangjunhu City successfully opened.
According to the plan, the city of Sangjunhu is open twice a month, at the beginning of the month and in the middle of the month, and lasts for three days each time. When the market was opened for the first time, all the Qianghu tribes of the Hetao came one after another, exchanging the furs, cattle, sheep and horses produced by the nomads for tea, salt, iron and other daily necessities from the Central Plains. Due to the fact that the first opening of the market was a little hasty, and the Hetao was far away, some tribes came late, and at the end of the three trading days, at the request of the majority of merchants and tribal representatives, it was postponed for another two days, which shows the hot trading in Shangjunhu Market.
When the market first opened, it was an instant hit.
The settled merchants can collect a large number of Qianghu specialties and sell common things in the Central Plains at a high price, which is satisfied; Although the Qianghu tribe said that they had to travel a long way, Hu City had all kinds of materials, sufficient goods, and the price was much cheaper than the caravan walking in the Hetao. Both sides were satisfied with Hu Shi, and both were happy.
Some people rejoice, others worry.
One of the four major merchants, Chen Liuwu's family, was surprisingly excluded from Shangjun Hu City because he miscalculated his own energy and failed to see the situation clearly. In fact, after the dragon collar was exposed, the Wu family knew that it was bad, because of the matter of the enclave, Yu Buzhi and Wu Yi completely turned their faces, and it was likely that they would make some small moves in Shangjun Hu City, and Uncle Wu Yi, who was in charge of the negotiations, adjusted his posture in time to try to recover the decline. It's a pity that he turned around a little late, his posture in front was too high, and he didn't turn decisively enough, or he subconsciously admitted that he couldn't do without Lao Tzu, and in the end he still failed to change his life against the sky, and was directly blocked out.
Hit hard by this, the Wu family couldn't swallow this breath, and Liu Yan also hoped that the Wu family would make a difference in Hu City, Wu Yi boasted about Haikou in front of Liu Yan, but he was not even qualified to enter the door, so he had to think of a way again. Maybe it's because they know that they have offended the fish unwisely, and most of the soft ones are useless, and the Wu family is ready to fight to break the net.
Specific method: Before the official opening of the market, use the influence of the Wu family in the shopping mall to unite those merchants who have close cooperation with the Wu family to strike the market.
Isn't your family having a happy event? Lao Tzu will send someone to wear linen and filial piety at your house, and see who is disgusting!
I didn't expect it to start connecting. The wind was received on the side of the deer leader.
Xu Shu took the initiative to meet with Uncle Wu Yi, saying that because the Wu family was too big in the previous negotiations, he not only offended Su San, but also angered Zhu Jun. Zhu Jun and Yuan Benchu and Cao Mengde passed the anger, Shangjun Hu City blocked the Wu family is a foregone conclusion, if the Wu family still does not know what to do and what is bad, and makes small moves during the preparation period of Shangjun Hu City, the Ant Chamber of Commerce will unite the Zhen family and the Wei family to launch a comprehensive suppression and revenge on the Wu family's business in the Central Plains.
Uncle Wu Yi poured his hair on the spot and scolded the ants for not doing their best, but the horror in his eyes was obvious.
Xu Shu immediately gave the Wu family a step and told Uncle Wu Yi: You will definitely not be able to enter Hu City, but the lord said that it is better to settle the grievances than to settle the knot. Hearing that the Wu family has related industries, the lord is willing to hand over this business to the Wu family, release his previous suspicions, and put forward the technical requirements for equipment on the spot, as well as the unit price provided by the deer to receive the wish.
Uncle Wu Yi saw it and was in good spirits.
The businessman has no status, and accidentally offended Zhu Jun, Zhu Jun and Yuan Shao and Cao Cao blew the wind to block the Wu family, even without the help of the Zhen family and the Wei family, the Wu family can only lie down and be slaughtered. Uncle Wu Yi didn't think about whether it was true or false to offend Zhu Jun, it didn't make sense, even if it was fake, with the relationship between Yu Buzhi and Zhu Jun, it could become true in minutes, so Hu Shi didn't have to struggle if he couldn't get in, and he had to admit it if he didn't recognize it.
And Xu Shu's steps to the Wu family are also really weighty.
Cavalry armor has extremely high requirements for materials and craftsmanship, and is expensive.
When Emperor Wen of Sui ruled the world, the abundance of the Sui treasury surpassed that of the previous dynasties, but even if the Great Sui was rich and powerful, and the whole country poured its strength, it only built 5,000 armor horses, which shows the cost of equipment. Beiying currently has only a few hundred riders, but the unit price of the equipment issued by the deer collar is as high as 100,000 gold, yes, the unit price is 100,000 gold! Hundreds of horses are calculated, a total of tens of millions of business, and all high-tech transactions, most of the profits are huge, Uncle Wu Yi made a rough calculation at that time, and he was so happy that he was in a dream.
It's a big deal, so hurry up and report back.
When Wu Yi heard the news, he was so excited that he didn't want to, even if he couldn't enter Hu City, he could give an explanation in front of Liu Yan after this deal was done. After all, entering the Hu market is to make money, what business is not to make money? And this business may be long-term, because Beiying will definitely expand and make more.
But there is a problem: the equipment indicators required by the deer collar are very strict, and the Wu family is not sure to meet them.
When he asked the craftsman, Wu Yi was furious.
The craftsman swore that with the current level of technology, no one could reach those equipment indicators!
Trick me?
Uncle Hui replied: Xu Shu said that this business is to compensate the Wu family, as long as the quality is acceptable, it is easy to discuss. Xu Shu also said that the Beiying equipment acceptance can pass his pass, as long as the equipment data is not lower than the required standard of seventy, Xu Shu is willing to guarantee with personality, and he will not be embarrassed when he accepts it, please rest assured that the Wu family can rest assured.
Yizhou Mansion and Zhulu Leader have been on good terms for a long time, and they have always been concerned about the situation of Zhulu Ling, Xu Shu as a henchman of Yu Buzhi and the commander of the Zhulu Army, Yizhou Mansion has collected a lot of relevant information. All the circumstances show that Xu Shu has the style of a gentleman, and his guarantee is credible. On the contrary, if it was Yu Unwise to vouch for it, Wu Yi would definitely not believe it. However, Wu Yi was still not at ease about the unwisdom of the fish, lest this was a plan to lead the army to delay the army, so as to prevent the Wu family from mistaking Hu City, so he summoned a message: he asked for a deposit of 20% first.
The first batch of 300 sets of equipment, with a total price of 30 million gold.
Xu Shu didn't say a word, just reminded the Wu family to deliver the goods on time, and readily promised to pay a deposit of six million!
Wu Yi no longer had any doubts, and did it!
Sign the agreement!
Agree on the relevant details, and as soon as the agreement is signed, the deposit will be paid in full immediately.
The Wu family accepted the fact that they could not enter Shangjun Hu City, and began to build armor in a hurry.
