247-248 Little White Town, military map

On October 28, thousands of riders from Xiaobai Village greeted Zhan Xiaobai, went up the river, and returned to Xiaobai Village.

The first thing everyone arrived was Wutong Village, which had changed a lot. A stone wall was erected on the perimeter of the village, which stretched for miles, indicating that the village of Wutong was already a large village. Outside are large patches of fine pasture, herds of cattle, horses, and players.

Several gravel roads connect Xiaobai Village, Haw Par Village and other directions. This kind of gravel road can save 10% of the travel time of stagecoaches and horse-drawn carriages. On the road, there are many stagecoaches and carriages coming and going to Wutong Village, and the trade has been very prosperous.

Wutong invited Zhan Xiaobai to come into the village and sit down.

Zhan Xiaobai went into the village accompanied by everyone to watch, the neat wheat fields in the village, and the handicraft workshops and wooden houses next to each other. Zhan Xiaobai nodded with satisfaction, the current level of Wutong Village is no less than the level he left Xiaobai Village eight months ago, and even surpasses. That's pretty good in a game.

Zhan Xiaobai smiled: "Wutong, you did a good job." ”

Wutong smiled: "Big brother said that I laughed, if I can compare to one-fifth of Xiaobai Village, I will be satisfied." At present, about half of the village's income is mainly the interest rate difference between Xiaobai Village's trade exchanges. The rest are also primary processed products. ”

Half an hour, after visiting Wutong Village.

It was not too early, Zhan Xiaobai did not delay much here, and rode directly along the paved stone road to Xiaobai Village, six or seven miles upstream. He was already a little anxious to see the situation in Xiaobai Village.

When I returned to Xiaobai Village, I saw a larger scene of greeting.

Outside the long stone walls of the village, Li Asan, the deputy village head, led a group of NPC officials such as Lin Yang, Zhang Cong, Li Ting, the Great 'Pharmacist', Confucian Xu Yang, Gou Yi, Wu Daochang, Old Man He, and Tavern...... Hundreds of NPCs.

Nearly 10,000 players from Xiaobai Village greeted them at the gate of the village, with incomparably huge cheers.

"The village chief is back!"

"Little White Boss is back~!"

Zhan Xiaobai smiled, and waved to everyone again and again.

Li Asan stepped forward excitedly, he hadn't seen his lord for more than half a year, which made him want to die.

He bowed and said, "The old man has come to see the lord." ”

Zhan Xiaobai dismounted, stepped forward quickly to support him, and laughed: "Ah San has worked hard, brothers, let's all enter the village." ”

All the horses were stored in the stables, 20 tiger horsemen and 50 archers, as well as a grandmaster craftsman and three master craftsmen, and handed them over to Ah Fei to settle down and stay. Ah Fei Dale, this is the first time he has seen these high-level NPC soldiers and grandmaster craftsmen. These high-ranking soldiers in full armor almost didn't scare all the NPCs.

In Xiaobai Village, it has now formed into patches of blocks, workshop areas, perfect defense facilities, and dense construction of various types. Hundreds of stone arrow towers dot the village, as well as catapult platforms, almost as high as a town's architecture.

The village has two walls: the wooden fence wall on the inside. The stone wall is on the outside and has a greater extent.

Within the wooden fence wall, the core area is mainly distributed with many buildings. Between the stone wall and the wooden fence wall, it is a sub-area, plowing the field and defending.

In the village, southeast and northwest, the two main roads are crossed, and in addition to restaurants, teahouses, inns, etc., almost all of them are shops opened by NPCs and players, as many as hundreds.

Pawn shops, jewelry stores, equipment stores, weapons stores, clothing stores, cloth shops, gambling houses, second-hand supermarkets, treasure shops, and even dart games have one that specializes in delivering goods to players.

There are also chambers of commerce, various chamber of commerce organizations, adventure organizations, skill organizations, and industrial organizations, all of which rent shops on the streets of Xiaobai Village and set up open office locations, so that players can have a convenient place to join and communicate.

It is no exaggeration to say that the organization of Xiaobai Village has gradually become the most complete and developed organization in the entire Liangzhou.

The population limit of 1500 in Xiaobai Village has reached a limit where it is no longer possible to expand the production capacity of NPC craftsmen, only to increase their proficiency.

After Zhan Xiaobai returned to Xiaobai Village, the first thing he did was to upgrade the village using the town blueprints.

To upgrade a large village to a small town, one condition is required: 1. The village chief obtains an official position above the sixth grade.2. The villagers are over 1500. 3. Town drawings are required. 4. Perfect functional building facilities.

Using the town blueprints, after a bright light, Xiaobai Village was officially upgraded to Xiaobai Town. The buildings within the village seem to have a new feel. The administrative courtyard, located in the center of the town, has been enlarged again and even more splendid.

Zhan Xiaobai led the crowd into the Executive Yuan.

In the center of the Executive Yuan, it is already a huge piece of cyan jade. Green Jade: The jade used in town processing, 5 million durability, automatic recovery speed of 1000 points/second, and defense of 100.

Zhan Xiaobai touched the jade stone, and a government affairs processing interface appeared.

1. The maximum population of small town residents: 5000. Affiliation: Eastern Han Dynasty. Territory range: 50 miles (residents have +3% bonus combat power in the territory).

Subordinate villages: 1/5. The mayor has the authority to appoint the heads of the five villages, but does not directly interfere in the affairs of the village.

List of small villages under its jurisdiction: 1. Lü's small village [village head: Lüshan]. (Lu Shan has worshiped Xiaobai as the main father, and Lu's village automatically belongs to Xiaobai Town by default)

2. Town buildings: In addition to regular buildings, the following buildings are added:

Infantry Barracks: 1, LV1 Barracks. You can recruit level 20 spear township warriors and level 20 Pudao township warriors. Total Farm Speed: 50 soldiers/day, Barracks Troop Limit: 100/100. Recruitment Cost: 200 Bronze/pawn. 2/3 of the revenue from conscription goes to the town's treasury, and 1/3 goes to the imperial court.

Military fortifications: 1. Lupan - military fortifications that can be built in the field, consuming wood and copper coins.

3. Appointment of officials and administrative officials in small towns.

Mayor of the Town: General Zhonglang of Zhengwupin Ping - Xiaobai.

Deputy Mayor: Not yet.

Other Officials: None. (All officers need to be reappointed)

There are 4 vacant official positions in the town: 4 civil and military officials of the eighth grade, 8 civil and military officials of the ninth grade, and 24 civil and military officials of the tenth grade.

Zhan Xiaobai nodded secretly, the big village was upgraded to a town, in addition to the population increasing by more than three times, the main one was to increase the number of villages under its jurisdiction.

In this way, the town will have control over the other villages, albeit only 5 small villages.

If it is upgraded to a large town, it may be able to govern 5 large villages. In this way, the strength of the big town will be great.

......

That night, tens of thousands of people in Xiaobai Town celebrated, in order to show Xiaobai back, to show Xiaobai to get the five products of Zhonglang General, for the big village to upgrade to a small town, for these three joys, all the taverns and inns in the village feasted and drank and were happy.

At the entire banquet, Li Asan, who is the deputy village head, is undoubtedly the happiest one. He was originally just the head of a small village, although he had the intention of assisting the Ming Lord to establish a great cause, but it was only a strong desire, and he never dared to take it seriously.

But today, the lord is honored as the general of the imperial court, what a big official! This is Zhonglang General, it is said that he is a big official next to the emperor of the imperial court, and he doesn't know how big it is. However, he recognized the three words "positive five products", and the county chief of Wuwei County was also the five products. What a high officer!

Li Asan burst into tears, the lord he assisted could have such a high official position, as long as there was a trace of his contribution, he was also satisfied.

What's more, Zhan Xiaobai personally told him just now that he wanted him to be the deputy mayor.

Players and NPCs agreed.

He almost fainted in surprise, it was equivalent to the deputy of the county guard-Changshi.

But Li Asan didn't agree immediately, he thought about it, now he is very reluctant to be the deputy head of the big village, and he doesn't feel that he has the ability to serve as the deputy mayor. If you drag the lord back, this is not good, it is better to be a little idle official, and you can retire with peace of mind.

Li Asan told Zhan Xiaobai his thoughts.

But Zhan Xiaobai has his considerations, there must be enough prestige people in the NPC to hold important positions in order for the NPC. Except for Li Asan who has such a great influence, the other NPCs do not have this qualification and contribution.

Zhan Xiaobai immediately rejected his prevarication and said, "Ah San, this deputy mayor, there is no one else suitable except you now." I'll help you pick a few assistants to help you handle the town's affairs, and you can work for a while longer, and then talk about it when there is a suitable candidate. ”

Li Asan couldn't refuse, so he could only accept the appointment with some uneasiness in joy.

It was almost an all-night hilarity, and it wasn't until the morning that the players and NPCs dispersed.

Zhan Xiaobai also sent out most of the various skill books and superb equipment he had picked up on the battlefield, and almost every one of the hundreds of important people in Xiaobai Town and Wutong Village received such a gift.

Early the next morning, Zhan Xiaobai convened a town council meeting attended by more than 50 players and NPC backbones in the town, as well as civil and military officials.

"Jian Ba, Li Asan, Lin Yang, Zhang Cong, Li Ting, the five of you are fully responsible for the construction of the village.... Ah, it's the construction of the town, and the recruitment of new NPC farmers, and strive to get our town up and running quickly in the shortest time possible. We have the drawings of medium towns and large towns in our hands, and as long as the number of villagers is enough, we can directly upgrade to medium towns or even large towns. Do it right away, don't waste time. ”

Zhan Xiaobai was in the chief and said to several civilian officials on his right.

Jian Ba, Li Asan and the other five people immediately nodded, and took the players and NPC administrative officials under their hands to personally dispatch manpower and arrange construction and recruitment.

Zhan Xiaobai then said to Qiushui: "Now, Qiushui will inform you of the latest situation in this town, the surrounding areas of this town, and the entire village of Wuwei County. ”

"Yes!"

Qiushui got up and looked at the remaining forty people present: "From February 15 to October 15, 184, the biggest impact on the game was the 'chaos' of the Yellow Turban. The Yellow Turban Rebellion had a profound impact on Wuwei County. ”

She picked up a data sheet and said, "As of October 28, 184 (yesterday), a total of 2,724 villages have been established in my Wuwei County, of which 897 have become ruined villages and have no owners. 223 are Yellow Turban Villages, and there are still Yellow Turban soldiers who have refreshed out. 131 villages built for normal NPCs, neutral, and trading with the player. The remaining 1,473 are player villages, including 2 small towns, 56 large villages, 234 medium villages, and 1,181 small villages. That is, the destruction rate of the village is as high as 41.1%. ”

Zhan Xiaobai frowned slightly, "Now there are 56 large villages and 234 middle villages, is there so many?" "It's a bit tricky. He doesn't care how many villages have been destroyed, he only cares about the difference in strength between the villages and Xiaobai Village.

His village was still a big village yesterday, and according to the current level of strength, it is almost an impossible task to suppress as many as 56 large villages and unify Wuwei County with the power of a small town.

No matter how strong Xiaobai Town is, it is not strong enough to annex 56 large villages, and even if it only wants to annex a few of them, it is extremely difficult.

Qiushui said: "In the past eight months, many villages have reached the level of large villages, and their strength has risen rapidly, the strength of each village has gradually narrowed, and the leading edge of our village is gradually losing, only about three to five times higher than other large villages. However, "

She smiled, "Now that we're in the lead again and we're going to be able to get away from the villages again soon." If it reaches the level of a big town in a short time, its strength will be stretched to a level of fifteen to more than twenty times. It's much easier to deal with these big villages. ”

Small village: 100 population. Nakamura: 500 population. Omura: 1,500 population. Small town: population 5,000. Middle Town: 10,000 people. Large towns: 20,000 people. Small town: 50,000 people. Midtown: 100,000 people. Ayutthaya: 200,000 people. Chongcheng: 500,000 people. Capital: 1 million population. Imperial City: 5 million population.

A large town has a population 13 times that of a large village, and its production capacity is at least 13 times higher. From the comprehensive consideration of the scale concentration effect, it is normal for large towns to exceed the strength of large villages by 20 times.

Zhan Xiaobai nodded, the level gap between the big villages will not be too big. But the production capacity of 20,000 people in a large town is enough to easily annex any large village.

He said, "Go on." ”

Qiushui continued, "We now have a total of more than 18,000 warrior pro players, about 4,000 life pro players, and about 1,500 NPCs. Our town's military deployment in Wuwei City is 8 player armies, each with 1,000 people, and has occupied half of Wuwei City alone. The remaining 10 armies are in the town, as well as several leveling points outside the town. All armies implement a system of rotation and replacement, and adjust their deployments at regular intervals.

In the past eight months, our military operations have been mainly concentrated in the vicinity of Wuwei City, mainly to annex the streets of the city. In addition, our village, Wutong Village, Haw Par Village, Hutou Mountain Village, and Hualing-Daqi Village have adopted active defensive tactics to prevent sabotage and military acts in all areas. Therefore, in our 30-mile area, we basically did not suffer major war losses in the Yellow Turban Rebellion.

Among the 1,500 people in my village, there are as many as 1,300 production NPC craftsmen, almost all of whom have reached the level of senior craftsmen. The quantity and quality of our craftsmen are far superior to those of other villages.

Production, construction, and defense have made great progress.

Horses, weapons and equipment, grain and grass, and finance, the main items, have been hoarded in large quantities, and it is the village with the highest reserves in the entire Wuwei County. The village now has enough March surplus food for 1,500 people. It can now sustain a month of high-intensity combat. ”

Zhan Xiaobai secretly smacked his tongue, there is so much food hoarding! I'm afraid that it is not produced from my own farmland, but from other places.

Qiushui continued: "In addition, there are 27 league villages in our village, and we are actively contacting new league villages. ......”

Two hours later, several principals reported on the general situation of the town, and the town meeting ended. Zhan Xiaobai took the backbone to inspect the village, and dealt with all kinds of affairs in the town - government affairs, military affairs, construction, production, life, and almost all aspects of the problem.

It took three days for Zhan Xiaobai to finally grasp the basic situation of the town and straighten out the government affairs.

All the affairs of Xiaobai Town are on the fast track. Recruiting NPC farmers is naturally the first thing to do. This is handed over to the government affairs department composed of dozens of players and NPCs led by Jian Ba and Li Asan to manage, and they are both familiar and good at this aspect.

After sorting out these cumbersome affairs and handing them over to various departments, Zhan Xiaobai began to deal with one of the most important matters - fighting for control of Wuwei County.

Wuwei County is the largest county in Liangzhou, and it is also the most important county. If you can't control the entire Wuwei County, you can't talk about fighting for the world.

Zhan Xiaobai was in the pavilion of the Executive Yuan in the town, pondering this problem. Qiushui, Ah Fei, Zhou Meng and others were on the side. In the past few days, they have all followed behind Zhan Xiaobai, ready to inquire about town affairs at any time.

Qiushui saw that Zhan Xiaobai was pondering, and asked with a smile: "Brother Bai, what are you thinking about again?" ”

Zhan Xiaobai thought for a while, turned back to them and said, "Qiushui, Ah Fei, if I let you command the troops, how will you unify Wuwei County?" ”

As soon as Ah Fei heard about the battle, he immediately came to his heart, patted his chest excitedly and said, "Big brother, what's so difficult about this." Our strength is not trivial. Let me fight, I promise to unify Wuwei for a year. ”

Qiushui glanced at Ah Fei and said, "Big Brother Bai, don't listen to Ah Fei." Shaoxia fights with people every day in Wuwei, he has nowhere to fight, and he is stimulated. ”

Ah Fei didn't dare to argue with Qiushui, but muttered: "Where am I stimulated, I just have too much energy!" ”

Zhan Xiaobai waved his hand, "Okay, how do you fight Qiushui?" ”

Qiu Shui said: "Completely using military power to unify Wuwei County is almost an impossible task. In the most smooth case, one by one, without the intervention of external forces, our village will annex the entire 56 large villages and 234 middle villages in Wuwei County, and it will take at least 5 years to annex one a week. If there is joint resistance between 3~5 large villages, it is basically hopeless. ”

Zhan Xiaobai smiled bitterly, a situation of one dozen and one will never happen.

If he had raised an army today and annexed a large village without any reason, he would wake up early tomorrow morning, and the entire Wuwei County would be full of enemy villages, which would be something that didn't need to be thought about.

Even if he had a sufficient reason, for example, Village A attacked his Xiaobai Village first, so Xiaobai Village took retaliatory action and tried not to let other big villages have an excuse to oppose Xiaobai. But the annexation of Village A is also of little significance,

He will continue to find excuses to annex villages B and C...... Stuck in the quagmire of a long expedition. Just like Qiushui said, the annexation of Wuwei County by pure force is almost an impossible task.

Pure force will not work, other means must be relied upon.

means, indeed, there are many.

Zhan Xiaobai cheered up and said, "Ah Fei, use the sand table to draw a map of Wuwei, I want to see how to clean up these villages." ”

"No sandbox, there's a very nice map in the warehouse."

Ah Fei said, immediately ran to the warehouse, turned out a map, and returned to the pavilion, spread out on the stone table in the pavilion. This map is about one square meter, and the cities, mountains, rivers, lakes, and roads are all clear and detailed.

"Wuwei Map" (detail) - Drawing Producer: I'm not a road idiot.

Zhan Xiaobai was very surprised when he saw it, and said, "This, it can't be drawn by the player, right?!" ”

Ah Fei smiled proudly, "Yes, it was drawn by the player." This player is called 'I'm not a road idiot', knows surveying and mapping, and can draw maps. When he came to our village to find Lao Li, he said that he wanted to fund him to draw a map for a higher fee, but Lao Li almost drove him away as a liar. Fortunately, I found it in time and accepted it. That's a rare top technical talent. I discussed it with Jian Ba and Sister Qiushui, and decided to fund him with 150 copper a day and let him draw a map. It took him three months and almost every location in Wuwei County to draw this very accurate "Wuwei Map". It is marked with information such as cities, villages, cottages, leveling points, mountains, mineral deposits, rivers, forests, etc., and the spacing is very accurate. In addition to the high-level military map used by the government, it can be said that this is the best military map in the hands of players in Wuwei County. Such a complete military map cost more than 13 copper coins, which is cheaper than picking up, and it is worth it. ”

Zhan Xiaobai looked at the map carefully, nodded and said, "This map is indeed very important. However, the person's skills are more important. I'm not a road idiot, where are the others now? ”

Ah Fei said: "He is still running around in various places in Wuwei, saying that he wants to supplement and improve this map and modify some outdated information." ”

Zhan Xiaobai nodded and said, "Well, this person must be wooed, money is not a problem, fully fund him." Also, you contact him and ask him to come back, I have something to ask him. ”

Ah Fei immediately said yes.

Unexpectedly, the next day, Zhan Xiaobai was in the conference hall and met this drawing master player - I am not a road idiot. This is a round fat player, but the movements are very neat, not slow at all.

When the fat man saw Zhan Xiaobai, he smiled and almost didn't pile up his face, "Boss Xiaobai, what are you looking for me?" You are my idol, please take care of the little white boss in the future, and carry you forward. Ah, you just call me a road idiot. ”

Zhan Xiaobai smiled and asked him to sit down in his seat, and after the NPC guards served tea, Zhan Xiaobai asked him about his skills.

I'm not a road idiot and I didn't hide it, I directly told him in detail about his skills-

Drawing: Where the cartographer walks, the system automatically records various geographic information to make a geographic map, and consumable items are required: special drawings for drawing maps [high-end items, expensive, sold in the system store], ink [high-end items, expensive, sold in the system store].

Elementary Drawing: You can draw the general terrain (trees, water sources, rocks, etc.) and the approximate surface resources on the paper. Make rough maps.

Intermediate Drawing: You can draw specific terrain on paper, as well as approximate surface resources, as well as villages, cities, and monster farming distribution areas, and can create general maps.

Advanced Drawing Technique: You can draw accurate shape spacing on paper, the specific number of surface resources, and cities, and can create military maps.

Master Drawing: Draw special maps - dungeon maps, city maps, .......

Grandmaster Drawing Technique: Array Diagram.

God-level Drawing: Treasure Map.

I'm not at the level of a road idiot, I'm now an intermediate level of drawing.

Zhan Xiaobai's eyes lit up, "Automatically record surface resources, what does this mean?" ”

I'm not a road idiot who knows what Zhan Xiaobai wants to ask, and explained: "Surface resources refer to all resources above the ground, including the 'Lu' Tian mineral deposits. But what is buried in the ground cannot be recorded automatically, unless you learn the art of exploration...... But I don't know where to learn this skill. ”

"If you learn the art of drawing and prospecting, then you can automatically record underground mineral deposits?"

"Well, depending on the level of prospecting, the types of mineral deposits that can be recorded and the specific information are also different. However, both skills are recorded on their own and can theoretically be combined on a map. ”

"Alright, I'll immediately use all the power of Little White Town to find information on exploration techniques, and let you learn this skill at any cost. In the future, I will buy out all the maps you draw. In addition, your allowance is raised to 200 copper per day. If you have any needs, you can come to me directly, or you can find Elder Ah Fei and Elder Qiushui in the town. ”

I'm not a road idiot and almost jumped up excitedly, "This~, thank you so much for the little white boss!" ”

Zhan Xiaobai smiled again: "By the way, Brother Lu Idiot, my town is lacking some senior guest secretaries, I don't know if you are willing to become the senior guest secretary of my Xiaobai Town?" Enjoy the highest treatment in the town, and all benefits can be obtained first. ”

"Okay."

I'm not a road idiot, and I immediately agreed to come down and was directly promoted to a guest player in Xiaobai Town. (Keqing, a player with special talents, enjoys the treatment of a high-ranking official, is not under the command of anyone other than the mayor, and only specializes in some important things.) ）

I'm not a road idiot after saying goodbye and leaving.

Zhan Xiaobai arranged for people to find information on exploration techniques, and then he began to study the "Wuwei Map".

There was a lot of information on the map, but in his eyes, he was only staring at one symbol on the map—the "Dew" Heavenly Mineral Deposit.

In Zhan Xiaobai's heart, a set of gradually mature ideas was gradually formed. Attacking the player's village by force will not benefit much, and it will attract many enemies, which is not advisable.

Controlling the mineral resources of Wuwei County may be a shortcut to controlling the entire Wuwei County. The enemy has no mineral deposits, no iron weapons, and no military support.

However, if you want to control mineral resources, you must first know where there are mineral resources, otherwise it is just empty talk. Moreover, with this detailed resource map in hand, Xiaobaizhen will have a great advantage.

Zhan Xiaobai pondered for a long time and finalized this strategy: a resource strategy with iron ore deposits as the core. This strategy is very difficult to implement, and other villages will definitely fight to the death for the mineral deposits. However, this method is much easier than destroying the enemy village by direct force.

He pointed to a few locations on the map, "Qiushui, targeting the mineral deposits in these areas, the military department will plan a report on the feasibility of military operations, and hand it over to me tomorrow." ”

Then hand the map to Qiushui next to it.

Qiushui looked at the map, noted the location, and immediately said, "Yes!" She turned around and left the pavilion and went to the office of the military department in the Executive Yuan to gather her subordinates to study the countermeasures for military action. I was relieved that Big Brother Bai finally let go of the shackles in his heart and took the initiative to attack, although this was just a small action, but it was the real beginning of the battle.
