Chapter 14: The Second Suppression of Bandits
On the second expedition, Ye Teng left the 5 B-level qualified soldiers who had surrendered from the bandits before and let Cai Hui continue training. Soldiers above grade B are always a scarce resource, and it is too worthless and wasteful to fall on the battlefield before they grow up. It is possible for them to grow to the existence of low-level special classes.
On June 10, Ye Teng instructed Zhao Qing to lead Cai Hui and the soldiers left behind in Yefu to choose another good cave and rebury Cai's wife after Cai Hui's injuries recovered.
I ran to Yamen, received the task of suppressing bandits from 8 nearby miniature cottages, and embarked on the second journey of suppressing bandits with 72 soldiers.
With the purpose of training troops, preferring to spend a certain amount of time, but also recruiting more surrenders, capturing more, and suffering fewer casualties, this time the bandits, because the road is farther than the last time, so although the strength in hand has been greatly improved, but all 8 tasks of suppressing bandits have been completed, and when I returned to Yefu, it was already 23 days later.
On July 3, Ye Teng returned to Yefu with 158 soldiers, including 11 B-level qualifications and 18 first-order soldiers.
So far, together with the 5 people in Ye Fu, Ye Teng has a total of 163 soldiers, including 16 B-level qualifications, 95 C-level qualifications, 52 D-level qualifications, and 21 first-order soldiers. Moreover, in the process of suppressing bandits, Ye Teng practiced the fourth form of the Dragon Spear Technique, and obtained a reward of 1 free attribute point.

In addition, Ye Teng also harvested a large amount of iron ore, stone, wood, grain and other resources. After coming back, he found that Cai Hui had completely recovered, so he threw the soldiers to Cai Hui for placement, handed over the resources and part of the money to Zhao Qing to deal with, and hid in the room to wash the dust.
According to the usual practice, another banquet was held in Yefu that night, and all the rest of the people were present except for the Chen brothers and sisters who were studying art abroad. At the night banquet, the meritorious personnel who went out on this expedition were rewarded as usual, and at this time, the other servants of the Ye Mansion also received a salary and bonus, and the overall atmosphere was warm and harmonious, and the loyalty of all members was improved to a certain extent. The bandits who surrendered also gradually integrated into the Yefu collective.
On July 4th, Ye Teng went to the tooth shop to go around as usual, and he actually gained a lot. (Because the first harvest was huge, I often went after that, but unfortunately I didn't get anything.) This time, Ye Teng bought an S-level qualification, a master-level chef - Cheng Hao, a middle-aged man, and a 16-year-old boy Xiang Ming with A-level qualification.
Because there are too few people in this world who have exploration techniques, although the master chef Cheng Hao Ye Teng spent a full 120 gold, the young Xiang Ming Ye Teng only spent 3 gold coins.
The reason why master chefs are expensive is because in the future in the territory, master chefs can preside over the existence of special restaurants, which will play a huge role in the future prosperity of the territory and attracting special talents.
Bring Cheng Hao to the main building, and the three meals a day of the future main personnel will be handed over to Cheng Hao to be responsible, and Xiang Ming was sent to the blacksmith shop by Ye Teng, with a tuition fee of 10 gold, and a semester of three years, hoping that when Ye Teng's territory is established in the future, he will be able to join the territory as at least a senior blacksmith.
At this point, Ye Teng slowed down his busy pace.
Twice suppressed bandits, and the soldiers Ye Teng himself purchased lost nearly half. Although the soldiers of Yefu have been greatly improved in terms of quantity and quality, they have to admit that most of the soldiers recruited from the bandits have a much worse sense of belonging.
The soldiers who bought from the barracks before were highly loyal, but their qualifications were too poor. The barracks can buy more qualified soldiers, but they are more expensive and require merit points. C-level qualifications require 10 merit worth 1 gold, B-level qualifications require 100 merit worth 10 gold, and A-level qualifications require 1000 merit worth 100 gold.
Meritorious service value is precious, and in the future, it can be exchanged for official positions, weapons and equipment, money, and resources, and it can be said that meritorious service value will always be a scarce commodity.
If you change a few A-level qualified soldiers and bring them to the battlefield, they hang up before they grow up, this is almost the most expensive cannon fodder, and I am afraid that the current emperor can't afford to waste it. Therefore, Ye Teng never dared to expect to buy soldiers through the military camp to take the elite route.
Of course, Ye Teng has never had the luxury of a thorough elite policy, such as leading a group of A-level qualified soldiers to fight the world, which is not too realistic at all. Ye Teng's goal is a relative elite soldier policy: most of the C-level qualifications, a small number of B-level qualifications, and a small number of A-level qualifications are composed of elite soldiers.
The reason why he has such an extravagant hope is that he still hopes for his status as a senior alchemist, as well as a possible master-level alchemist status in the future, or even a grandmaster-level alchemist.
Therefore, from this day on, Ye Teng handed over the soldiers to Cai Hui to be responsible for training, and he hid in the Li Clan's Medical Hall to refine the low-level Transformation Pill. began to refine the pill day and night and cultivate the mode of internal strength. 4 furnaces of low-level metamorphosis pills every day, and 2 hours of internal cultivation before going to bed, almost thunder. Occasionally, I only go back to Yefu once, or go to Yahang once, or visit Chen Ping, Chen Xi, and Xiang Ming, and my life is busy but fulfilling.
The harvest of three months is also fruitful, the pills repurchased by the medical hall, after deducting the cost of medicinal materials, have also added some 1,000 qi tonifying pills, 1,000 healing pills, and 200 bone continuation pills, and there are actually 8,620 gold left, and there are still 200 low-level metamorphosis pills in hand, and the alchemy experience has been pushed up to 48,098/100,000, and the intelligence has increased by 2 points.
At the same time, I often patronize the tooth shop to pick up leaks, and on August 1, my character finally broke out, and I bought a 12-year-old girl Jiang Jin with S qualification, and a 14-year-old boy Xia Houxiu with A-level qualification. happily sent Jiang Jin to the largest tailor shop in the county as an apprentice for three years; Send Xiahou Xiu to the trading house as an apprentice for three months.
Due to the first month of alchemy, Ye Teng used 52 low-level Avatar Pills to raise all the qualifications of Ye Fu's soldiers to above C level (there are still 148 low-level Avatar Pills left). In the past three months, through Cai Hui's efforts, the strength of all the soldiers has been greatly improved. At present, there are 2 third-order soldiers, 32 second-order soldiers, 54 first-order soldiers, and the remaining 75 people, which are basically close to the strength of first-order soldiers. And the loyalty and cohesion of all the soldiers have been greatly improved.
At this time, Ye Teng's military strength had reached the level of a hard-hitting primary cottage. Therefore, a new round of anti-bandit operations has finally begun.
In the game, there are 100~1000 junior cottages, about 60% of small minions, about 30% of first-order soldiers, about 10% of second-order soldiers, and 1~3 junior generals;
Intermediate cottages, 1000~10000 people, about 30% of small minions, 40% of first-order soldiers, 20% of second-order soldiers, 10% of third-order soldiers, and 1~3 intermediate generals; 3~9 junior generals;
High-level cottages, 10,000~100,000 people, 30% first-order soldiers, 40% second-order soldiers, 30% third-order soldiers, and 1~3 senior generals; 3~9 intermediate generals; dozens of junior generals;
Therefore, at the moment, even if you attack the primary cottage, you must be cautious and cautious, otherwise it may cause heavy casualties and the gains outweigh the losses; The middle-level cottage is not something that Ye Teng can touch, otherwise it is likely that the whole army will be wiped out, or Ye Teng and Cai Hui will be left with the two commanders of the light pole to come back.
On the same day, Ye Teng spent 200 gold coins to replenish 100,000 military rations; bought 1 storage bag for Cai Hui; He went to Yamen and took over the task of suppressing bandits from all the eight primary cottages and nearby miniature cottages within 300 miles west of Jingcheng County.
