Chapter 371: Protecting the Territory and the People
In the process of "harassing" Xiaoxue non-stop. Of course, Ah Niu didn't accomplish anything else, on the contrary, a certain city lord returned to Fengxiangxiang this time, and almost handled the affairs of the territory at full power, and his concentration and efficiency were astonishing.
Time is running out!
After leaving the main city for two months, there were already a lot of affairs in the territory that needed to be taken care of by a certain city lord, not to mention that the war against Dong Zhuo had entered a countdown state. What made Ah Niu feel the most urgent was that Ah Niu needed to leave the territory again soon after, and it was not a short time.
The favor of the Yellow Emperor is approaching the deadline of the task.
What kind of situation this mission will be like, and what kind of reward it will get, Ah Niu still doesn't know anything, and there is no relevant information on the forum to learn from. But there is one thing that Ah Niu firmly believes: the reward of this task will never be too bad, and the test of the ancestor seems to have not been received yet!
Therefore, Ah Niu must complete the affairs in the territory in a very short period of time, and make a clear plan for the focus of the future period. For this reason, Ah Niu's handling of affairs was even admired by Pang Tong.
"After the lord came back this time. How can it be like taking medicine, so violent......"
After returning to the territory to hold a meeting and determining that Feng Xiang must immediately reorganize his arms for war, Ah Niu immediately did several things.
First, Xun got in touch with the dragon god and finalized the deal for the rhubarb crossbow for the population.
This time, the transaction volume was very large, and a certain city lord did not blink his eyes, and directly reported the request of 10,000 people. Due to the "diligence" of the road to heaven and all the way, the population of Fengxiang City has experienced negative growth, and judging from the current situation, the two lords have become addicted to the things of "helping others", if nothing else, this month will make Fengxiang have some blood; In addition, after Ah Niu returned to the territory, he would inevitably do the task of upgrading the subordinate territory, and the gap in the population was not ordinarily large, so Ah Niu had to prepare early.
The dragon god did not agree to Ah Niu's request, a population of 10,000 is by no means a small number, and the dragon god hesitated.
Objectively speaking, after the fat dragon baby went to Jizhou, the battle between the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army and the state capital troops did not stop, but intensified, and the Yellow Turban Army also needed a large number of big yellow crossbows in order to gain an advantage in the battle with the opponent. The big yellow crossbow produced by Fengxiang is really the only magic weapon for home travel, killing people and goods, whether it is the state capital or the yellow scarf, the demand for this weapon is skyrocketing. Feng Xiang has already benefited greatly from the arms deal.
What the dragon god hesitated was that the long-term trade of "exchanging people for weapons" with Fengxiang would have a bad impact on the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army. After a few months of trading, the Yellow Turbans have acquired a considerable number of large yellow crossbows, although they have not yet been able to form an overwhelming advantage over the state capital forces. But it's not as lacking as it was at the beginning. Sending people out for a long time is not conducive to the stability and unity within the Yellow Turban Army.
At the beginning, Fat Dragon Baby and Dragon God just wanted to import a batch of weapons from Fengxiang and stopped, but in the battle with the state capital, the current opponent's firepower has become more and more fierce, which makes the Yellow Turban Army have to continue to import weapons.
The dragon god even vaguely guessed that such a shape was most likely created by Ah Niu, so that the combat effectiveness between the Yellow Turban and the state capital was maintained in a delicate balance, as if one more batch of weapons could be imported to gain the advantage and initiative. It's a pity that such a shape shì has never been broken.
The dragon god guessed well, a certain city lord who is well versed in the importance of "balance" does have such a wishful thinking, and has been using it well. Only in this way can Fengxiang get greater benefits from it!
In the end, the dragon god still couldn't resist the temptation of the big yellow crossbow, and gritted his teeth and agreed. However, the dragon god also made a very tactful gesture to Ah Niu, hoping that Feng Xiang could look at the alliance between the two sides and give a certain tilt in terms of arms exports, and the scale of the human ** Yi must be controlled, otherwise it will bring great trouble to the baby's control of the Yellow Turban Army.
The Yellow Turban Army in Qingzhou is far less powerful than Ah Niu imagined, and if a certain city lord "plunders" the population like this uncontrollably, the baby and the dragon god will not have to play.
In this regard, Ah Niu smiled and agreed very happily. In terms of arms export policy, it's okay to tilt a little, but this "degree" is ...... That's a lot of learning.
In fact, there is a very important reason why Ah Niu is so happy: the fat dragon baby is now only in control of the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army, if he is allowed to fight too hard with the Qingzhou Prefecture, it will not be a good thing for the baby's exhibition in the field of the National Yellow Turban Army.
A certain city lord understood. Although this move will affect Fengxiang's short-term income, in the long run, the better the baby's power is displayed, the greater the long-term benefits for Fengxiang.
Second, the armor of the Thunder Cavalry.
As early as on the way back to Fengxiang, a certain city lord who could not bear the turtle's advance sent an iron guard to rush back to Fengxiang first, and issued an order to immediately study the heavy armor, and the master blacksmith Zhou Ting and the master tailor Zhao Jiang immediately threw themselves into the intense study. Therefore, when Ah Niu returned to the territory, the sample of the heavy cavalry armor had been placed in front of Ah Niu.
When he saw this armor for the first time, Ah Niu was shocked.
This is a very heavy set of armor, the green and cold iron armor is like a ruthless monster, very hideous and terrifying.
The armor is divided into two parts: man and horse, the armor of the warrior has many similarities with the armor used in the trapping camp, except for the hands and feet exposed, almost all other places are protected by the armor, and even the helmet has a movable baffle, leaving only two small holes, which are where the warrior's eyes are; And the armor of the war horse is even more exaggerated, except for the four legs and tail of the war horse exposed to the air, other places are tightly wrapped by heavy armor, even the horse's head is also under the protection of the armor, of course, the eyes are still exposed.
"My lord, the armor adopts the technique of fish scale weaving, which will make the armor's protective power stronger, and the joints of people and horses are located in sufficient space, which has minimized the impact of heavy armor on mobility; In addition, these two sets of armor are easy to disassemble and can be easily disassembled in order to adapt to the different needs of troops in different situations. ”
Zhou Tingxuan demonstrated, and a minute later, the warrior's armor was disassembled into five parts. Although Zhao Jiang didn't speak, his eyes also flashed with a blazing light. It can be seen that the two master-level talents are very confident in this set of armor, which is the finished product made by the two of them after seven days of repeated scrutiny.
The protective power of this suit of armor is difficult for even the most discerning person to find faults.
"Well, in this way, our heavy cavalry can completely control the armor in the storm, charge, and pursuit battles, so that the weight of the war horse can be lightened. The armor of the war horse should be like this, right? Ah Niu smiled.
"Yes! However, this armor has a big drawback. ”
"What?"
"Weight! These two sets of armor, the armor of the warrior weighs 28 pounds, and the armor of the war horse weighs 49 pounds, which is quite heavy. After the Wuhuan war horse is equipped with this kind of armor, the degree and durability will be greatly reduced, but after we tested it on the Xiqiang war horse, the weight is quite appropriate, but the flying wing battalion is not suitable for this kind of armor. Zhao Jiang was a little regretful, originally she and Zhou Ting hoped that this set of armor could be universal, but ......
Ah Niu laughed, "You're wrong, this armor is very good!" Because, this was originally tailor-made for Xiqiang war horses. As for the armor of the Flying Wing Battalion, I have to trouble the two masters to work hard, in the last battle in Longfei Town, the Flying Wing Battalion suffered great casualties, if there is a set of armor with stronger protection and does not affect the movement of the fighters, many soldiers may be able to survive. ”
Thinking of the tragedy of Long Fei's defense battle, the feelings of a certain city lord suddenly fell. Zhou Ting and Zhao Jiang obviously felt Ah Niu's affection, and solemnly agreed.
"My lord, this armor hasn't been named yet."
Zhou Ting asked softly, hoping to divert Ah Niu's attention, this came to the territory as early as Fengxiang was a first-class village, and was the only master in Fengxiang who had been "born" so far, so there was no doubt about Ah Niu's respect and loyalty. For this reason, Zhou Ting would rather give up the naming right of this set of masterpieces, although Zhao Jiang arrived in Fengxiang a little later, he also looked at Ah Niu with a smile.
"Well, let's call it Iron Wall. Hopefully, when our Thunder Rider is equipped with Iron Wall Armor, it will be like an iron wall in battle, crushing the enemy to the bone! ”
A certain city lord's eyes were full of Sensen's coldness.
Since the armor of the Thunder Cavalry already has a model, the rest of the matter is, of course, to send it to Liangzhou to start building. Ah Niu called Sun Liang and asked Sun Liang to select 1oo blacksmiths from the territory, nearly half of whom were senior blacksmiths who could teach apprentices. With this group of people. The scale of blacksmiths in the special territory will expand rapidly, and they will not only be able to craft iron armor on the spot, but also be able to make zuò iron tools and weapons in Liangzhou to meet the trade with the Qiang people.
In the early morning of the second day after Ah Niu returned to Fengxiang, 1oo blacksmiths got into the carriage to Longfei, accompanied by a mother and son: Ju Yi's wife.
Ju Yi took over the important task of going to Liangzhou to open up a new territory, and Ah Niu certainly will not forget this general, and now he and his wife are still living separately. Just took advantage of this opportunity to send Rouran's mother and son over.
Because of the episode with Wang Fang, a military general under Dong Zhuo, on the return trip, a certain city lord did not let the Flying Wing Battalion come out again and take on the duty of escort, so Wang Fangzheng has been waiting for those "guys who don't know each other" to appear. In addition, the flying wing battalion is in the process of reorganizing its armaments, and Ah Niu absolutely does not want the progress of the reorganization of the flying wing to slow down.
The one in charge of the escort task is the Dark Flower Qingzhou Department.
1oo blacksmiths, and nearly half of them are high-level blacksmiths, which is enough to make all lord players crazy, and no one can say whether someone will take risks; And Rouran's identity is even more special, in addition to being Ju Yi's wife, she is also the pearl of the Taran tribe, no matter what, this team cannot afford to lose. Qingzhou Dark Flower dispatched about 15o people, led by their new commander Yan Xin himself, and protected the safety of these people openly or secretly, which made Ah Niu feel at ease.
As for Di Yun, who had met with Wang Fang, he rode a war horse alone on the road. The long-distance travel of more than 20 days in a row did not make Di Yun feel hard, but because he was about to return to Liangzhou and expand the territory with Li Jin and others, he felt excited.
Third, the Dependent Province Upgrade Mission.
When Ah Niu left Liangzhou and returned to Fengxiang, a month had passed, and he could take on the task of upgrading the subordinate territory. Ah Niu, who was bent on handling the affairs of the territory so that he could travel lightly to the Yellow Emperor's Mausoleum to be tested, would certainly not forget about this matter.
From the matter of Tongtian Road helping Feng Xiang upgrade the colony, Ah Niu got enlightenment. This upgrade mission. He didn't pick one out of the remaining first-level townships, but directly upgraded the second-level townships!
The largest population of a first-class township: 2ooo people.
The largest population of the second-level township: 4ooo people.
Maximum population of third-level townships: 8ooo people.
According to the maximum number of villagers that can be accommodated by different levels of townships, the return of upgrading from the second level to the third level is obviously twice as high as that of the first level to the second level!
Eclecticism is good, but key breakthroughs are even more important!
Ah Niu's choice this time is still Wuwei Town, the territory of Juntun. To the north of Fengxiang, a more powerful acropolis is needed.
Wuwei Town Upgrade Mission: Protect the Territory and the People.
Mission Description: In the wilderness fifteen miles northwest of Wuwei Town, a group of robbers have recently appeared, robbing the passing people and hiding a batch of supplies. Although these robbers were not in Fengxiang's territory, and they did not dare to challenge Fengxiang's majesty, as a world-famous city, it was somewhat inappropriate for such a situation to occur around the territory. As the northernmost subordinate territory of Fengxiang, the villagers of Wuwei Town already possessed considerable combat skills, and they were eager to fight for the benefit of the township.
Mission requirements: Within a month, the villagers of Wuwei Town will annihilate this group of robbers entrenched in the wilderness.
After receiving such a task, Ah Niu couldn't help but smile, for the current Feng Xiang, it was obvious that this task was not too difficult. The most lacking thing in Feng Xiang is a warrior (relatively speaking)!
After the last system update, the concept of wild lands has been added to the game, in addition to the territory of system forces and lord players, there are also some unowned lands, which are the so-called "wild lands".
The wild will randomly spawn a varying number of bandits, robbers, scattered Yellow Turban Army, and the smaller ones are robbing passing merchants; Those who are strong may swagger to the door, so almost all lord players dare not have any sloppiness with the thieves in the wilderness.
Many lords are very fond of sending troops to protect the territory and the people, so that these NPC opponents can be strangled in the cradle, so as not to suffer from them in the future; Second, thieves who fight in the wilderness may harvest money, grain, minerals, timber and other materials, which is why many lords like to send troops constantly.
After the power of the field is exterminated, it will be refreshed again from time to time, and the materials harvested are directly related to the scale of the force. However, the forces in the field are not all small dishes, and the troops in some fields may not be sure to win even a third-level township, and risks and opportunities coexist. The larger the scale of the field, not only can more materials be produced, but there is also a small chance of obtaining some treasures, but this information comes from the official disclosure and has not yet been confirmed.
Feng Xiang has not made any big moves in this regard, and in some of the surrounding fields, there have been no bandits who have become more climate-like. The reason is that the name of the first city in the world is too loud, and Yan zhòng has affected the normal development of the bandits......
However, a certain city lord is not a reckless person, and sent Da Hei out to fly around, and after finding out the strength of the field, Ah Niu's brows furrowed.
"There are more than 13oo people, and there are still a lot of fortifications in their camp, so fortunately, they reconnoitred ......"
It's not that the strength of this bandit is too strong for Wuwei Town to be defeated, what Ah Niu wants is not to "kill a thousand enemies and lose eight hundred", but to reduce the losses of the side as much as possible. Of course, it would be good if there were zero losses, provided that the robbers cooperated.
According to the mission statement, this battle must be fought by the villagers of Wuwei Town, which made Ah Niu's idea of being opportunistic and shortcut suddenly frustrated. However, such a problem is not enough to make Ah Niu helpless, Pang Tong is idle all day long, how to "complete this task at the minimum cost", it will be solved by Pang Tong.
A lord doesn't need to be omnipotent, and it can't be omnipotent, knowing people and being good at their jobs is one of the most needed traits for a lord player!
Pang Tong did not disappoint a certain city lord either, and five days later, Wuwei Town sent only 8oo militiamen, and with less than 3o wounded and no one killed, it achieved a near-perfect victory. It's a pity that nothing can be found from the robbers' den, which is why it can't be called "perfect".
Afterwards, a certain city lord aggressively asked Pang Tongxing about this matter.
"Okay, you Shiyuan, don't you know that there are supplies in the robbers' den to take? With such a big vote of robbers, how much material has been accumulated, you can give me a good reflection! ”
Pang Tongyi didn't panic, "Isn't the lord's request to exterminate the robbers and ensure that our villagers do not suffer casualties?" You didn't bring it up at the time, and you had to bring all the supplies back. ”
A certain city lord wants to cry without tears, a good king-level strategist, a child who was once extremely honest, actually played word games with himself! Just when Ah Niu was about to run away, Pang Tong put away the leisurely and said seriously:
"Lord, it's not that I don't want to bring those supplies back, but you also know that it is not easy to exterminate so many robbers without damage, and if you want to retrieve the materials, my subordinates are not sure that none of the villagers will die. When the lord asked me to make a plan, he didn't want the villagers to have anything, and this benevolent heart Pang Tong did not dare to forget it, and after several considerations, he chose that tactic. ”
Pang Tong's meaning is very clear: people are more important than materials!
Ah Niu couldn't hear it, and solemnly saluted Pang Tongyi, "I was too impatient just now, Shiyuan is not strange." You're right, if getting those supplies comes at the expense of our villagers, then we, Fengxiang, would rather not! ”
Pang Tong's battle plan was actually very simple: fire attack.
The villagers of Wuwei took advantage of the darkness to sneak outside the bandits' camp, surrounded all the exits, and then set fire to them. It was autumn, and the plants and trees were on fire, and soon a fire broke out, and most of the robbers were burned to death in the camp.
The robbers who wanted to break out of the siege also failed, and the villagers of Wuwei Town spent a few days practicing the use of crossbow arrows, and this time they came out to suppress the bandits, so they borrowed a batch of one-stone rhubarb crossbows from Feng Xiang's arsenal. With such a "murder weapon" in hand, the robbers rushed out of a dead end, although there were also robbers who shot arrows outward, but it was difficult to see in the dark night, and they did not cause much damage to the villagers of Wuwei Town.
When there were no more robbers standing in the camp, the fire could not be extinguished, and the robbers' supplies could not be snatched out.
"Ding-dong. The robbers in the wilderness were all annihilated, and the task of protecting the territory and the people was completed. Wuwei Town has been upgraded to a third-level township, congratulations to Zheng Aniu players. ”
After not being in the territory for a few months, the people's morale in Fengxiang City dropped by 1 point, although it was only 1 point, but Ah Niu did not dare to be sloppy at all. In the process of solving three urgent matters, a city lord wanders around the territory, moving around the territory, while moving to work, while patrolling the situation in the territory, in order to shorten the distance with the villagers.
In fact, the decline in the popularity of Fengxiang City is not because Ah Niu has been absent from the territory for a long time, the real reason is that Fengxiang City is constantly absorbing new displaced people.
The newly arrived homeless people will naturally drag down the people's sentiment index in the territory, but with the growth of time, under the many preferential benefits of Fengxiang, this influence will gradually disappear. It's a pity that a certain city lord didn't realize this, and in seven days, like a high-spinning top, he just inspected the main city of Fengxiang and all the affiliated territories.
After completing this qiē, Ah Niu appeared, and it seemed that Yan zhòng had neglected the two guests, Lu Zhi and Cai Yan, these days.
Just as Ah Niu was about to make amends, Lu Zhi had already rushed over in a hurry, his face full of excitement.
The following does not count as words:
Moan.
Regarding the question of "whether there is a suspicion of cheating the number of words in the account of historical events", the cat believes that such a description is necessary. Not all book friends know everything about the Three Kingdoms, even if the cat itself, many things may not dare to say that they are clear, of course, there should be many book friends who are more familiar with the story of the Three Kingdoms than me, but I believe that there will be more book friends who are not familiar with me.
Tianniu book friend's post may refer to the "Luoyang Shock" chapter that is too much quoted, but that paragraph has a lot of information, it is impossible not to explain carefully, the total number of words is 5272, and the number of words of historical data is 12o9, so the statement that "half of the chapter is historical data" is inaccurate. In addition to that chapter, the maximum number of words to explain is the previous chapter "Abolish the Emperor", which is less than 5oo words, and there are even fewer other chapters, mostly within two or three hundred words.
In addition, I would like to explain that even the historical materials in the text are not "copied" by the so-called, but typed out word by word, and if you compare the historical documents (Shiji Tongkan), you can see the subtle differences. If it weren't for this, the names of Yuan Shao and Dong Zhuo would not have been typed out in the article. Who knows how to copy the trouble of leaving a poster, the time required to code out the content on the data, is much slower than the normal code word of the cat.
However, the post of Tianniu book friends still touched the cat, and the relevant events will be simplified as much as possible in the future. Thank you, Tianniu.
Book friends who left messages for or against that post, the cat also expressed gratitude.
