Chapter 224. Rapidly expanding military power
On the horizon of the sea in the east, a faint touch of fish white has appeared there, the northern whistling sea in summer was already very early, after a night of tossing, the most dangerous and darkest time has passed, and now it is a new day. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Levi's eye sockets were also slightly dark, but the eyes in his eyes were still bright, leaning on the cold marble railing on the balcony, watching the citizens below who had gradually gathered and divided into small groups to distribute to the new traditional houses, there was a little more smile on his face, these were his subjects.
The citizens who were originally huddled together have gradually come out, and under the command of the sailors, they have allocated their own rest space, and after adding at least forty brand-new two-story small western-style buildings, each traditional house has more than a dozen rooms, which is enough to live in more relaxed.
The traditional houses of the Spaniards are all sublimated from the wooden houses of the Middle Ages, and the average Spanish family has more than a dozen immediate family members, so it covers a large area, plus the living room, storage room and kitchen, the two-story living room, plus the basement can add up to about fifteen rooms, barely squeezed can also meet the basic housing needs of 3,000 people.
Even these 60 traditional houses, if they do not consider personal privacy and space, can be crammed into 5,000 people, and can meet the basic housing needs for the next month-long wave of refugees.
"Eight thousand seven hundred energy points."
The remaining energy value flashed in the retina, and Levi's heart was still full of confidence, and the [Building] option also instantly appeared on the dialog box of the retina, the simple wooden house and the simple mill, and the land after simple farming, were the patterns on this option.
However, compared to the previous gray building, which can only be built once, it has now been re-lit, symbolizing that as long as there is energy, the 300 energy value of the [Farming Farm] can be rebuilt.
"Homesteaders (construction cost: 300 points): The whole goal of a farmer's life is to work hard in the fields all day long, growing crops and livestock for all the owners of the land. For thousands of years, the way of life of the peasants has rarely changed, living on the land and living in extreme poverty, the farmer has worked in the same place almost all his life, his fate is firmly imprisoned in the farmland, and there is little left after the income of labor is paid in rent and taxes. Crucially, however, the agrarian economy is inherently incapable of generating large amounts of cash, mainly in physical products, and the availability of suitable land for growing crops and raising livestock is extremely limited. ”
"Effect: +0.2% population growth, reduced chance of food shortages, +100 regional wealth, note: rebuildable."
The introduction of the homesteaders farm also popped up in Levi's eyes instantly, this is the only agricultural building Levi is currently the only one, and he has not hesitated at all, since he has already integrated the instructions of reproducible construction on it, he has already made up his mind.
On the north side of the Yuqiao River, on the coastal fields originally developed by Haijiao Town, patches of data streams have begun to emerge from nothingness, and the land that has not been cultivated for nearly a decade has begun to change dramatically, gradually becoming flat, and weeds, rocks, and trees that have grown have disappeared without a trace with the rush of data.
Ten seconds later, five yeoman farms had appeared on the barren sandy land, each covering an area of about 100 acres, each with its own simple houses, mills built against the sea breeze, and fields with green seedlings.
The forests and coastal lands on the north side of the Yuqiao River have all been changed by mysterious rules, and although the flat land is barren, it is no longer the sandy land composed of completely barren sea sand and a small amount of soil, but has become a field that can barely grow wheat and obtain objective food.
Even these 500 acres of land stretch far away, and even the originally dense woods in the interior have been washed away by the mysterious power of the system, and have directly become cultivated fields of self-cultivated farms, such as fields cultivated along the forest.
This is the embodiment of the rules from the game system, after blending the rules of the local world, the purposeful removal of the terrain also makes a little change, and at the same time does not cause a huge change in the surrounding ecological environment, all in the course of human development, the appearance and appropriate transformation of nature, a reasonable change in the rules.
"Close the build option and open the recruit option!"
But Levi's movements were still crisp and neat, and he didn't hesitate at all, because after facing the most direct military threat from that group of nobles, what he needed more now was troops.
Especially now that he has a population of nearly 2,500, and there is a steady stream of refugees in this month's time, it is enough for him to use his rapidly growing population base to develop a real army that can defend against the enemy externally, and even defeat the enemy!
"Recruit ten squads of town militia, three squads of 24-pounder light cannons."
After the farm was built, he still had 7,200 energy points, and in order to be able to use all the fortifications of Cape Town, he had to recruit more land forces to guard various points.
What's more, among his current recruitment options, there is already a town militia, which is an excellent option to work when he is usually busy, train when he is not busy, and if there is an enemy, he will immediately transform into a soldier, even if he recruits more, it will not affect the daily development of Cape Town, but will significantly improve his current strength!
Haijiao Town is his foundation, the number of a team of town militia is 120 people, and ten teams of town militia represent 1,200 people, almost half of his current population, and also represent his army, which is beginning to take shape!
For the people in leisure time, and for soldiers in wartime.
The town militia also fully embodies the essence of this sentence!
Even if Grey Mist City and Samar City summoned the main force to attack Cape Town by sea and land, Levi would not worry about the city defense, because this group of town militias who had mastered basic modern tactics were no longer comparable to those troops in the feudal era!
Perhaps these town militias can't fight alone and at close range, but the key point is that even if the enemy's troops can face the double blow of muskets and artillery, and still have high morale to fight in close combat, there are not many people left!
The reason why the musketeers can completely become the symbol of the army and ban the traditional army infantry such as archers, pikemen, sword and shield soldiers is because they have almost universal effect and terrifying lethal effect after forming a modern tactical queue!
This starts with the flintlock pistol.
The flintlock firing only needs to pull the trigger, and the accuracy is enough to solve with the number of lead bullets fired in a dense formation shoulder to shoulder, and the hit rate and lethality are stronger as the distance is approached.
As a long-range unit, after the enemy approaches, inserting a bayonet is a melee short spearman, and pulling the trigger is not like an archer, pulling the bow and shooting arrows will consume physical strength and arm strength.
And the crucial point, the flintlock pistol with the bayonet on it, almost a short sharp spear, standing side by side they also formed a dense wall of spears, and any enemy who came over would have to face at least two or three bayonets.
It is estimated that if you don't check, you will be stabbed to death under the bayonets of this group of flintlock musketeers!
Of course, as for the heavy infantry, the whole body is armored, although in the era of cold weapons, it is a personal tank, but in the face of modern flintlock pistols, it is like a slow-moving target, easily killed on the spot one by one with flintlock pistols, even if they are close, this group of flintlock musketeers can retreat with a fast speed, open up the distance and continue to shoot.
The recruitment cost of the urban militia is only 300 points, a team of 120 urban militia, ten teams of 1200 people is also 3000 energy points, plus the three teams recruited a total of 12 24-pounder light cannons 1500 energy points, and the energy value consumed is only 4,050 points.
"It's not for defense."
On the balcony, Levi watched the stream of data flying all over the sky, and many citizens who were still in the traditional houses had already appeared jackets and light orange hats, and there was also a flintlock pistol and matching lead bullets and gunpowder around him.
The recruitment of troops from towns is no longer directly created in the void, but the selection of people from among those citizens, and the system will automatically transform into Levi's town militia after screening.
Now they are still citizens, but as long as there is a need, they will also pick up flintlock pistols, form qualified flintlock musketeers shoulder to shoulder, wait for the arrival of war, and then use the bulging lead bullets to shoot any enemy who dares to invade into a sieve, and for this group of guys who have been transformed into town militias, they have also been automatically injected into army tactical training, which is a real army branch!
"It's that I'm showing you what it means to be angry from the earth."
Exhaling slightly, Levi also raised his head to meet the sun that was gradually jumping out of the horizon, and his eyes couldn't help but narrow.
Even the Ketuv River thieves can pose a certain threat to Grey Mist City, so with his mastery of modern technology and tactical system, why can't he deal a heavy blow to Grey Mist City?
With this backward feudal era, how could the feudal troops that were still widely equipped with cold weapons and chain mail be his opponents?!
