Chapter 212: Recuperation

Looking at the 300,000 troops now lined up on the school field, they are dressed in exquisite armor and bright and dazzling swords. [Ran^Text^Library] The soldiers were neatly lined up in the formation, and their resolute faces revealed the majesty of the soldiers of the Beichen Army.

This is the garrison unit in Donglin County, Beichen County, the Yulin Army that specializes in guarding the royal city, the guards guarding the outer and inner cities, and the Royal First Army near the Tianlong Fortress at all times.

The three most elite armies of the Beichen Kingdom are all standing in the school field at this moment, and this school field is the school field in the Tianlong Fortress. As the Tianlong Fortress in Donglin City, second only to the capital of Donglin City. Its area and internal architecture are no less than those of Donglin City.

Before the entire Celestial Dragon Fortress was built, no one would know how majestic this fortress really was. However, after the Dragon Fortress was officially completed, everyone in Beichen Kingdom was surprised. Looking at this majestic fortress that abruptly rose from the plains, everyone really felt the strength of the Beichen Kingdom.

Even Generalissimo Yue Fei, who had a wide range of knowledge, sighed after seeing the Tianlong Fortress completely. Without him, this fortress is just too majestic. Not to mention its floor area, the stone city wall with a height of 28 meters and a width of tens of meters is enough to discourage all enemies.

If the enemy is really two, the tall walls are not enough to deter them. However, the various defenses in the fortress will definitely stop them. In the Tianlong Fortress, there are more than 8,000 preset catapult platforms alone, which means that as long as Beichen Kingdom completes the final fortress layout, there will be nearly 10,000 catapults alone.

This is not counting the more bed crossbow placements, and with the addition of bed crossbows, 200,000 archers are not comparable. Among them, there are countless arrow towers all over the city, and the slightly taller arrow towers are enough to accommodate more than ten archers to defend. In addition to these, there are many cantonment points, that is, small strongholds.

The four largest strongholds were located on the four sides of the fortress and served as the headquarters for the defense of the four sides. This small setup is definitely like an artifact for the defender.

Don't look at the Dragon Fortress is so big, there are so many various defensive buildings inside. However, if you have a large place, it means that it is difficult to command. Maybe by the time you get the order to the side, there's already something else going wrong.

In the center of the four massive strongholds was a smaller stronghold, the same size as the rest of the strongholds. This is the last defense point of the Tenryu Fortress, and it will be the largest command post of the Draco Fortress.

In fact, if the Tenryu Fortress was built according to the original plan drawings, there would never be such a huge fortress as it is now. It's just that because of the previous economic crisis, Xun Yu pulled a large number of slaves and folk husbands to build. However, after the construction of the projected city wall, it was found that the domestic economy was no longer enough to build the internal measures of the fortress.

But those millions of laborers can't be left alone, that will only bring a greater crisis to Beichen Kingdom. So, Xun Yu came up with a compromise solution, that is, to continue to build the city wall. Originally, there were not many materials left to build the fortress wall, so I simply continued to build the city wall.

In this way, the walls became more and more majestic, but as a result, the measures to be sprinkled on the interior were not built at all. It wasn't until later, after a year of cultivation in the Beichen Kingdom, that there was enough economy to improve the interior of the fortress.

It has now been the fourth year of the Beacon Fire Continent Era, and it has been almost two years since the six counties of the Beichen Kingdom were first established. In the past two years, Beichen has digested all the previous war dividends. Now the country has begun to develop rapidly, of course, this means in the absence of war.

If there is a war now, Beichen Kingdom has enough logistical strength to ensure that the five million army will fight for a year. However, in Xun Yu's opinion, it is best for Beichen to continue to recuperate now. Because of the two years of recuperation, Xun Yu really tasted the sweetness.

On the one hand, the land of Beichen Kingdom has now been completely digested, and the annual tax revenue alone is enough to get 100,000 taels of silver. These are all decimals, and the real big deal lies in the commercial tax, 1.2 million taels of silver.

When this number was announced, Xiao Chen and all the bigwigs in the court were taken aback. It's really terrifying, more than one million taels of silver per month, even if you remove the military salary of more than five million troops in Beichen now, it is an extremely terrifying number.

The transportation of hundreds of thousands of taels of silver to the domestic economic development will only make the economy of Beichen better and better. Xun Yu is very confident in this, as long as he gives himself another two years of quiet recuperation, it will be easy for Beichen Kingdom's monthly tax revenue to reach two million taels of silver.

However, it seems that it is not very possible.

Today, Xiao Chen directly summoned 300,000 elite troops and gathered in the Tianlong Fortress, which had taken two years to build. Obviously, I just want to go out to fight and bully others. However, how much good can it be to just fight a war?

The 300,000 elite army gathered in the school yard of the Tianlong Fortress, and it did not look crowded at all. Because when the Tenryu Fortress was built, it was expected to build a super school field. The standard given by Xiao Chen is that it can at least accommodate the gathering of 500,000 troops at the same time without being crowded.

For this point, the working people of Beichen Kingdom and the lovely overseers have faithfully implemented this plan. It is enough to accommodate 800,000 troops assembled at the same time, and Xiao Chen was shocked when he heard it. These guys are too realistic, haven't they thought about how much it will cost?

As a result, they directly gave Xiao Chen a sentence, this place is small enough. If it weren't for the widening of the roads around the school yard and other facilities, the construction of the school yard to accommodate one million people would be insignificant.

Xiao Chen has nothing to say about this, others have already saved money for themselves, what else can he say.

The red ocean is no longer enough to describe the 300,000 elite Beichen troops, because the ocean will definitely not be as disciplined as the Beichen soldiers, nor will it be as roaring as the ocean. Above Noda's school grounds, there was only silence.

The school stands on a high platform directly in front of the school grounds, and below the high platform is a ninety-nine staircase. There are two tall arrow towers next to it, and then there is an endless open space.

Now the clearing has become a red patch, and the bright red armor is intimidating. Countless red flags, standing everywhere, whined in the wind.

On the high platform, Xiao Chen was dressed in a bright red Nine Dragons Disc Pattern Armor, an angry dragon golden helmet, a dragon cloak, dragon stepping cloud power boots, and a locked dragon gold belt. There is also Xiao Chen's unique sword Anping Sword on his waist, a very cheesy name, but no one in Beichen Kingdom dares to underestimate this sword.

Needless to say, looking at the countless sharp soldiers below, Xiao Chen only had one feeling. That's time to fight, so many elites have not been pulled out to show off their might.

In fact, it was not Xiao Chen's vanity that caused such a scene. Instead, the situation in the Beacon Continent really does not allow Xiao Chen to recuperate.

Two years ago, the Great Xia Kingdom had already completed the national promotion and became the existence of the principality. And Brown's country of the undead is also close behind, and the other nine major government forces have jumped up, completely pulling down the rankings of Xia country and country of the undead.

In addition to these principalities, there were several principalities. The country of Marshal Ludendorff, a German player, did not know what adventures he encountered, but it also became a principality, and the name of the principality was the Duchy of Germany. There are also French players, American players, Japanese players, etc., who have all jumped out recently.

And there are even more countries at the level of the Hou State now, just looking at the comprehensive strength ranking of the Beichen Kingdom directly fell to more than 200, it can be seen maliciously. Of course, the military strength of Beichen is still ranked first.

This is not to say that Xiao Chen's army has expanded, on the contrary, the troops of Beichen Kingdom are still 100,000 Wu Baiwu, and they have not moved at all. But who knows that above the military ranking, Beichen is still the first.

This made Xiao Chen feel strange, knowing that in the end, Xiao Chen only knew the details after watching the forum a few times. Those principalities have lost too much on the way to rise.

Now that the game has been going on for several years, all the players are no longer as weak as they used to be. In the past, a 100,000-strong Beichen army could directly take dozens of cities. But now, the troops on both sides must be at least more than 500,000 at the beginning of the fight.

Even when the Great Xia Kingdom expanded the last dozens of cities, it took a year of fighting to complete the national promotion. There is no way for Long Teng Yuye, but the strength of the other party is not bad at all. More than 50 cities, an army of 1.3 million, plus a large number of temporarily recruited militia.

The most important thing is that the opponent still goes all out to defend the city, and some cities that do not have much strategic role will be given up directly. In this way, the summer * team has no choice at all. Although in the early stage, Han Xin planned to take over several cities. But later, when the people also learned it, the army stayed in the city and could not survive or die.

In the end, Xia Guo won the war, but the casualties were lost. Forcibly attacking a dozen cities defended by hundreds of thousands of horses or even millions of people, the Xia Kingdom paid a heavy price.

Until now, Long Teng Yu was still worried about his ambitions, and he knew that he would not attack that player at that time. For the sake of dozens of cities, he killed and injured three million troops in one go, and almost didn't hurt the vitality of Xia Guo.

The rest of the principalities are also on the same path to rise, after all, as long as they are not stupid, in a few years, it is no problem to build a million troops with dozens of cities.

has been doing it like this, and now the military strength of Beichen Kingdom is still the first.

But the first military strength does not mean that Beichen Kingdom is also strong in other aspects, just like now, the territory of Beichen Kingdom is still so big, but the territory of Xia Kingdom is about to catch up with the two Beichen Kingdom. The rest of the principalities are also much bigger than Beichen Kingdom, which makes Xiao Chen feel that the egg is broken and he loses face!

Therefore, now Xiao Chen wants to fight and expand. Xun Yu advised Xiao Chen many times, but was sent away by Xiao Chen's firm tone.

If you don't expand the Beichen Kingdom, it's over, there is no population without a city, and there is nothing without a population. Beichen Kingdom is now recuperating very well, and its population has reached more than 35 million. Millions of slaves, it has long been no longer a problem.

But the Xia Kingdom now has a population of more than 50 million, how can I still play by myself. Without a population, if you start a war of attrition with Xia Guo, you are completely abused!

Xun Yu lived in the Three Kingdoms period, and the population of the Han nationality during that period was only more than 20 million, so Xun Yu's understanding of population was not as good as Yue Fei's. Just like Yue Fei said two days ago, the reason why the weak Song Dynasty was able to consume three countries was completely dependent on a huge population base.

Think about it again during the Anti-Japanese War, didn't China also use its huge population base to complete the arduous task of consuming little Japan?

Therefore, Xiao Chen is now extremely eager for the population.

And the fastest way to get a population is to war, as long as you win, you can get slaves and get cities. Getting slaves is a temporary increase in population, while getting a city is a permanent increase in population.

If you really want to rely on the current population growth rate of one million a month in Beichen Kingdom, it will only be pulled farther and farther away by Xia Kingdom.

Moreover, the development of Beichen Kingdom is now almost complete. Yun County, Lu County, and Zhong County, which were originally empty after the occupation, are now also crowded with people. The various infrastructure in the territory has also reached the average level of the Beichen Kingdom, and the various strategic resources in the Beichen Kingdom are sufficient, which is enough to start a war.

War is a continuation of politics, and it is impossible to evaluate whether it is right or wrong. War is a contest of interests, and it is certainly right. And politics is also completely in the service of interests, and there is no doubt about it. Therefore, profit is the cause of everything.

Now Xiao Chen feels that he can get enough benefits by starting a war, land and cities, just these two things. The domestic land has been digested, and without the stimulation of more land, the development of Beichen Kingdom will be complacent. It is even possible to reach the appearance of the Song Dynasty, the economy is developing rapidly, and without strong strength, it is just a piece of fat in the wolf's mouth. Strong economic power requires strong force to ensure security.

Yes, now Beichen Kingdom is indeed the number one in military strength. But in the future, not to mention the principality of China, which is now ranked first, the Xia Kingdom alone can completely recuperate for a while, directly surpassing the Beichen Kingdom.

Now there must be war, and the Beichen Kingdom needs war!

"Soldiers, how good is the rest of the past two years!" Xiao Chen smiled and shouted at the audience.

The soldiers in the audience are not excited, it is all a lie, and now that the army is gathered in the school field, there is no need to say what happened after that, it must be going to war. It's been two years, and it's strange that the big guy doesn't want to fight!

"Fight! Fight! Fight! "The 300,000 old men who have been holding back for a long time finally shouted out what was in their hearts.

This shout soared into the sky, moving the whole world with emotion.

Beichen Kingdom, which has been hidden for two years, has once again issued its voice to the outside world today, at this moment!
