Chapter 104: The Yellow Turban Rebellion
Half a month later, after unremitting efforts, Ye Feng finally achieved half of his goal, and there was no omission at all.
This process has increased the territory by tens of thousands of people and some talents, although the villages in the great wilderness have few professional talents, but the proportion of warriors is very high, and warriors have become a guardian force in the territory that is not weaker than soldiers.
The 7th-order alien beast that besieged Huya Town a few days ago finally left, but no one knew where it went, Ye Feng felt that this was always a hidden danger, but there was no way, he could only strengthen his vigilance.
And the Taiping Dao he expected did not come, it seems that the Great Wilderness is really a natural barrier, so that the Taiping Dao does not dare to march on a large scale.
However, he has always made people pay attention to the news of Taiping Dao, and every time a fifth-order fighter specially passed it back from Zhang'an County.
The number of Taiping Dao among the people of Zhang'an County is increasing, and the news that came back yesterday said that it has reached nearly one-tenth.
In fact, this is not surprising, because the dark clouds that had shrouded the entire Huiji County twelve days ago have finally lifted, and all the people who survived have felt the aftermath of the catastrophe.
After some seeds were found, almost half of the farmland in the county was restored, and the harvest began in the last day or two.
The government began to collect taxes again, and it was still seven out of ten, and some small officials even set up clever plans to increase taxes privately.
This extinguished the renewed hope of the people, because the remaining food was not enough to eat, not to mention that the yield of the land was reduced by nearly half this time.
It can be said that this time the government has become the driving force behind the rise of Taiping Road.
The ratio of the Southern Taiping Dao alone has reached one-tenth, and considering that the number of Taiping Dao in the entire Han Dynasty is at least one billion, it has become a trend.
In the morning, Ye Feng had just finished breakfast, and an expected system announcement resounded throughout the Huaxia District.
"Huaxia District Announcement: Cangtian is dead, Huang Tian should stand, the age is in Jiazi, and the world is auspicious. The large-scale epic plot Yellow Turban Rebellion has officially begun.
During the story, players can choose to join the Dynasty Faction, the Yellow Turban Faction, and the Neutral Faction.
Players of the Dynasty and Yellow Turban factions can earn Faction Merits by killing hostile players and NPC armies, and capturing hostile Faction Cities will receive additional Merits, killing neutral Camp players and NPCs will not receive Merits and will be punished by normal kills, and neutral players will not be considered to be participating in the story.
Faction Exploits can be redeemed at the Quartermaster of the Faction. ”
“……”
“……”
Ye Feng pondered it carefully and found a problem, that is, there was no mention of the thief camp.
It is impossible that the Yellow Turban Rebellion will be opened and those thieves will disappear.
Some may join the Yellow Turbans, but the bandit camp will still exist, and they have a well-established organization and will definitely take advantage of the situation.
Players in the Rogue camp can also join the Yellow Turbans and get double merit, which seems to be a loophole.
But will there really be a vulnerability in the system?
This is absolutely impossible, he feels that this is a kind of compensation for the players of the Bandit Camp, after all, they have received much less merit in the previous episode than the players of the Dynasty Camp.
After the plot begins, the thief camp will definitely not easily absorb players to prevent the infiltration of the Yellow Turban Army.
The Bandit Camp and the Dynasty are incompatible, so they will definitely cooperate with the Yellow Turban Army, and players in the Bandit Camp can get the merits of both factions.
Of course, pure Yellow Turban players have many advantages over them, such as being more likely to gain the trust of the Yellow Turban generals and easier to get good missions.
It is impossible to say which is better or worse, and the system will definitely do a good job in balance.
Of course, Ye Feng did not hesitate to choose the dynasty camp, but most casual players may choose the yellow turban camp, because they can rest assured that they can rob boldly, and it is not a dream to get rich overnight.
When the plot opened, he couldn't sit still anymore and immediately began to gather soldiers.
After another round of recruitment, the number of soldiers in the province has reached 2,000, but none of the recruits have yet reached Tier 3.
The veterans have already reached the peak of the 3rd order, and there is no advanced barracks or special training methods, so they can only stop there.
With enough warriors to protect the territory, he is going to bring 800 soldiers and Li Kui this time, and of course Zhou Tieniu, the 'archer', is also indispensable.
During this time, he has also been trying hard to subdue Tian Bo, but unfortunately he has not yet made up his mind, and only occasionally helps in the territorial medical hall.
As soon as he heard that Ye Feng was going out, Tian Bo immediately rushed over, asked to go along, and left Xiao Tong in the territory.
Ye Feng immediately happily agreed, believing that seeing the current situation of the people of the dynasty would allow him to make a decision as soon as possible.
The strength of the group was not weak, and they had to hurry on purpose, and the next morning they arrived at the edge of the great wilderness and approached Zhang'an County.
All that was left was a mess in the area, and all the refugees returned home after the disaster was over.
Fortunately, there was no animal tide during this time, and the refugees who fled into the Great Wilderness had the highest survival rate.
Entering Zhang'an County again, there is no longer the scene that the people can see everywhere, a large number of vegetation has been destroyed, and there is a depression that can be seen as far as the eye can see.
Further on, there was not a single pedestrian on the road, and the atmosphere became more and more eerie.
It seems that the Yellow Turban Army in Zhang'an County has already made some moves, the situation is unknown, Ye Feng did not dare to continue with the team, and immediately sent several teams to find out the news.
Looking at these soldiers who quickly changed into coarse linen clothes, he sensed that he needed some professional scouts.
It's a pity that he doesn't know how to train, and there are no talents in this area in the territory.
Armed with camouflaged weapons, the soldiers quickly disappeared into the woods.
The Han people are fierce, and almost everyone will carry weapons when they go out.
However, due to the restrictions of the dynasty, ordinary people can only use weapons of inferior quality, so the weapons of the scout soldiers need to be camouflaged.
After waiting in the woods for more than an hour, a reconnaissance team returned.
"Report to your lordship, there are some people from nearby villages who have joined the Yellow Turban Army and have left the village and are missing, but most of them are still there."
Ye Feng nodded, which confirmed his expectation that the Yellow Turban Army had been assembled.
The people in the south have not yet completely embarked on a dead end, and they are not the focus of the development of Taiping Road, and most of the people will still keep to themselves.
Nearly half an hour later, the second team also returned, and the information obtained was almost the same, but still no movement of the Yellow Turban Army was found.
Soon after, the third team returned, bringing back an obese middle-aged man.
Originally, the information they obtained was similar to that of the previous two teams, but on the way back, they met this middle-aged man and brought it back together.
Ye Feng looked at the middle-aged man who was trembling and said, "Who are you?"
The middle-aged man was so frightened that he knelt down, sweating profusely and said, "Adult, villain Zheng Long, is just a small businessman."
Ye Feng looked at Zheng Long, who looked like a refugee, frowned and said, "Then why are you so embarrassed?"
Zheng Long suddenly burst into tears and said: "The villain transported a batch of goods to Zhang'an County, but unexpectedly encountered a bandit, and he was desperate to escape."
"Oh." It is said that there are no more bandits in Zhang'an County, Ye Feng continued to ask: "Are those bandits all wrapped in yellow scarves on their heads?"
Zheng Long was slightly stunned, wiped a handful of tears and continued: "My lord is like a god."
Ye Feng knew what Zheng Long was thinking, and he must have suspected that they were the accomplices of the bandits, but he didn't bother to explain, he confirmed that what Zheng Long encountered was the Yellow Turban Army.
He frowned and said, "So what are your plans now?"
It is impossible to kill this Zheng Long for no reason, and it is inconvenient to take it with you.
Zheng Long said tremblingly: "It's all up to the adults."
Ye Feng said, "Okay. Then give you a little dry food, and you can find your own way to go home. ”
Zheng Long kowtowed again and again in disbelief: "Thank you, my lord!" Thank you, sir! ”
Looking at Zheng Long, who took a few servings of dry food and left, Ye Feng could only wish him good luck, human life is like grass in troubled times, and he may encounter danger at any time.
Soon the last reconnaissance team also returned, but brought great news that the Yellow Turban Army had surrounded the county seat of Zhang'an.
Although I don't know how many people there are in the Yellow Turban Army in Zhang'an County, Ye Feng roughly estimated that there are more than 500,000 people, and due to its particularity, the Yellow Turban Army can be said to be a soldier for all people.
Ye Feng didn't know if the leader of the Yellow Turban Army in the county was dizzy and dared to attack the border county.
Even if time is short, the county should be able to gather 10,000 soldiers, and the most important thing is that there is a 7th order professional in charge.
Although the Yellow Turbans had a great numerical advantage, their combat effectiveness and will to fight were too far behind.
Without the support of the Yellow Turban Army in other places, the defeat of the Yellow Turban Army in the county was inevitable.
Of course, these have nothing to do with Ye Feng, and now he is facing a lot of trouble.
The Yellow Turban Army gathered together, he did not have the strength to fight, and he would definitely not be able to show his face near the county seat now.
Once discovered by the Yellow Turban Army, it will definitely be because it is a reinforcement from the government, as long as their leader is not stupid, they will definitely eliminate Ye Feng and them first.
Only when the Yellow Turban Army is defeated will Ye Feng have a chance, but no one knows how long it will take for the Yellow Turban Army to be defeated.
He is in a dilemma, should he go elsewhere to find a small share of yellow turbans, or wait for the yellow scarves in Zhang'an County to be defeated and make a big wave?
After thinking about it again, Ye Feng decided to go and see the situation of this group of yellow scarves first, and this time only he and Li Kui were needed.
Tian Bo originally wanted to go, but his temperament would make people doubtful, and he could only express regret.
After camouflaging, leaving the soldiers to wait here, the two quickly sneaked in the direction of the county seat.
I didn't dare to take the official road along the way, so I tried to avoid the village as much as possible, and walked for nearly two hours before pedestrians appeared on the official road.
The two quietly joined the pedestrians, only a few of them were wearing yellow scarves, and the others were dressed as ordinary farmers, and they did not look abrupt.
All the pedestrians did not bring any goods, unlike when they usually went to the county seat to catch the market, Ye Feng estimated that they all went to the Yellow Turban.
It seems that the power of the Yellow Turban will become bigger and bigger, and the final result is really a bit unpredictable.
Ye Feng and the two of them didn't know the local dialect, so they didn't dare to talk so as not to show their stuffing, so they just buried their heads in the road.
There were more and more pedestrians on the road, and through their conversations, he did know some news.
The Yellow Turban Army began to gather last night, and basically everyone in every village knew the news, so no one came out today.
The powerful families in the county knew about it relatively late, but basically they also knew it this morning.
Now the Yellow Turbans are still calling people to join, and most of the people who join are unable to survive and want to come and eat.
Among these people were free peasants, tenant farmers, and even powerful servants.
Among them, tenant farmers and servants, the whole family is generally controlled by the powerful family, and basically will not choose to join the Yellow Turban if it does not go to a desperate situation.
Of course, there are also people in the Yellow Turban who want to be prosperous, wealthy and make contributions, so there will also be heroes who join the Yellow Turban.
