Chapter 50: There Will Be Near-Sighted Sorrows
Li Tang looked at the tsunami behind his head, and the tsunami hurriedly said:
"Lord, at present, we still have external troubles that have not been eliminated, and we can't take it lightly! One is the 4 pirate cities, they should know about the existence of Linhai Town, once they unite, Linhai Town can only shrink its forces and resist with all its might. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info as the saying goes, the first to start is strong, and then the first to suffer. I think it's time to concentrate my forces and pull out the pirate cities one by one to prevent them from forming a joint force. ”
"There are still a lot of sparks on the mountain, although these shitties are unlikely to threaten Linhai Town at the moment, but they can't allow others to snore next to the couch. And Linhai Town can also develop the reindeer industry, whether it is in captivity in the plains, or relying on hunters to hunt reindeer, soldiers hunting reindeer training, will inevitably conflict with life. In addition, Shengban is an excellent land soldier, and if a large number of Shengban can be subdued, it will definitely be extremely beneficial to the development of the mainland in the future. ”
"Now we can indeed develop towards the mainland, but our power is still there, and the mainland is full of predators, and if you don't have a heart, you may be crushed, so we suggest that we continue to develop in the Penghu waters, and then develop to the surrounding waters after the Penghu waters are completely pacified, and unify the sea areas of the Han Dynasty, and it is not too late to develop on land when there is a chance."
Li Tang listened to Tsunami's opinion, and he also agreed, after all, he was in the military officialdom before, knew too much insider, and had seen the strength of the gate valve, so it makes sense not to recommend going to the mainland for development, because if you don't care, you may die.
For the aborigines to come and go to the dangerous mainland for development, if you don't care, you will lose your life, it is indeed better to recuperate in the sea area first, and wait for the opportunity. But for Li Tang. Death is not terrible. Because he is something that the player can respawn. It shouldn't be too much of a problem to go to the mainland.
So Li Tang said:
"General Hai has a point. Our way out is at sea, and if we want the sea route to be smooth, we must destroy other pirates. Our foundation is on Penghu Island, and if we want to gain a foothold on Penghu Island, we must pacify the Shengfan on Penghu Island, and no one knows if they will unite to attack Linhai Town from land. After all, our defense on land is very weak, as long as 50,000 Shengfan troops come to attack, we may not be able to defend it. So destroy the pirates. It is imperative to regain life. ”
"In addition, one of our goals is to develop the maritime industry, the dart industry, after all, the maritime industry is a very profitable industry. At present, Ye Hui's fleet can feed 10 tens of thousands of troops, if we monopolize all the shipping, not only can we earn a lot of money and food, feed a large number of troops, but also hold the lifeblood of the mainland, after all, without the communication of shipping, the contact between the mainland and the mainland will not be so smooth! ”
"But it's not so easy to monopolize shipping, after all, once it gets bigger. There must have been some big gatekeepers coming to snatch the fruit and demand a piece of the pie. If you don't agree. There will definitely be all sorts of ways to suppress it. The bright ones may use the government and the passes to block the road and rob the cards, and the dark ones may use pirates and bandits to loot. ”
"In addition, these gate valve families will definitely have their own shipping fleets, and they will definitely train pirates to suppress other opponents. So I want to monopolize the water transportation in this Dahan sea area, and the difficulty is not ordinary. ”
After listening to Li Tang's analysis, everyone said yes.
So Li Tang turned to Sun Li and others:
"Old man Sun, you are well-informed. Why don't you help analyze and analyze what our future path should be? ”
Sun Li's time to come to Linhai Town was still short, and he didn't want to express his opinion, after all, he didn't know the depth. But Jian Li Tang asked for advice so sincerely, but it was not easy to shirk, so he said:
"At present, Linhai Town is an excellent platform for development, and with your lord's Qiankun bracelet, if you operate it properly, you will definitely have some achievements. In this way, the advance can be attacked, and the retreat can be defended. ”
"But the Zhengshuo of the Han Dynasty is indeed on the mainland, and the mainland is the stage for all heroes, if you don't develop a certain influence on the mainland, it is unrealistic to rely on the Penghu Islands alone to want to be in a safe corner. Because a random partial division of the mainland sailors and a million sailors can flatten the waters of Penghu. If Linhai Town wants to be able to protect itself, it can't do without enough troops. And there are two prerequisites for sufficient troops: one is money and food, and the other is population. ”
"Money and food are not too big a problem for Linhai Town, the main source of money and food in Linhai Town is to eliminate pirates, but although this kind of business will continue to exist in the future, it will definitely not be so concentrated, and the situation may be more complicated. Now the pirates can be eliminated, all thanks to the Penghu topographic map, knowing that the enemy has won all battles. If you want to eliminate pirates in the future, it will be very difficult to find pirates' lairs, let alone fight away, which is extremely disadvantageous. ”
"In addition, the pirates in the waters of Penghu are basically pirates without a shore foundation, and the pirates they will face in the future may be pirates with land roots, they will definitely be more tenacious and will not surrender easily, and may even collude with the officers and soldiers of the mainland naval division. And if the shipping industry is to be vigorously developed in the future, piracy is an obstacle. ”
"In addition, if we want to develop the dart industry, we have to develop our own pirate force to squeeze the living space of scattered pirates and put pressure on merchants. The pirate forces we have developed can bring us huge profits; second, it can squeeze the living space of scattered pirates and prevent the emergence of new pirate forces; third, it can deter merchants from coming and going, so that they have to seek cooperation in Linhai Town to escort the dart industry; Fourth, you can help Linhai Town do some shady things. ”
Li Tang couldn't help but secretly head up after hearing this, they are all bad readers, it seems that this Sun Li is also a bad stomach! None worse than pirates who kill people and set fires for a living!
After brainstorming and listening to everyone's analysis, Li Tang had a vague direction for the future plan. But thinking of one thing, he asked Sun Li:
"Old man Sun's analysis is ah, one sentence makes me pause! But there is still something unclear, I don't know if Old Man Sun and you know? ”
The crowd asked:
"What's so difficult?"
Li Tangcai said:
"According to me, the population of Linhai Town is also hundreds of thousands, and all the buildings that should be built have also been built, and the conditions for upgrading to a city have long been met, and there is only one special item missing. But I can't think of anything special around me that can be upgraded to a city! ”
When everyone heard this, they all shook their heads. Li Tang is not surprised, after all, if it were easy to upgrade to a city, there would not be a town that has been upgraded to a city by now!
Sun Li saw that everyone was shaking their heads, so he suggested:
"Why don't the lords capture the next county town, see how the county town is different from the market town, and make plans. If you really can't do it, you will destroy a county town, and maybe there will be special items! ”
Sun Li's suggestion made Li Tang's eyes light up, it is true! There is a great possibility to get special items, but the cost is to destroy a city, which seems to be a bit big!
However, you can't have both fish and bear's paws, and those who give up fish and take bear's paws are also! Linhai Town is the spiritual sustenance of Li Tang and his colleagues, coupled with the special attributes of Linhai Town, so Li Tang must choose Linhai Town!
To be honest, the game has been going on for more than 6 months, and many territories have been quickly upgraded to towns, because upgrading to become a town is actually very simple, as long as you have money, materials can be purchased, and drawings can also be purchased.
Only some special buildings need to be guarded and maintained by special personnel, such as medical halls and so on.
At the beginning of the game, all the villages are because there is no special talent of this or that way, so some buildings are not hosted, and the building cannot be activated, and the conditions for upgrading to a market town cannot be met.
Now it's different, there are some players who are engaged in related industries in reality, and they have also learned the corresponding profession in the game, such as doctors, etc., and some people with good understanding have learned primary medical skills in 5-6 months and got the profession of junior doctor.
They can then go around and join the village and help build it. Once the village meets the conditions and is upgraded to a market town, they will be paid a certain amount and leave to help with the upgrade in other villages.
Just like in reality, some senior seafarers do not go on the ship themselves, but lease the officer's certificate to others, and they take tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of rents to do other things. Other players jokingly refer to these players as nominal experts. There are also some lords who sublease the special talents in their territory after upgrading the market town.
Therefore, at this stage, there are basically not many villages left, and there are basically all market towns.
However, all market towns are stuck at this level and cannot be upgraded to cities, and it is important to know that almost all buildings that are upgraded to cities can be purchased in the system shop, and buildings cannot be an obstacle to market town upgrades.
And the number of inhabitants in the territory is not a problem, the player is notoriously large, how can the lord player who can get the village building order and establish the village and town, how can he not find enough residents?
And the funds needed for development are naturally not a problem.
The current lord players are either the spokespersons of large families, large groups, and large companies, or the big guilds in other online games, professional online game studios, and so on.
After all, the price of the village building order itself is billions, and the first reaction of civilians is to sell it for money. Moreover, the construction of the territory, the initial investment is also expensive, and ordinary people are still unable to play.
Li Tang also made a mistake and solved the development funds!
Therefore, the factor that can restrain the market town from being upgraded to a small town should be the so-called special item.
Sun Li's proposal to attack a city, and then destroy it, to see if there are any special items dropped, such a plan, other players have not considered.
However, at this stage, there are not many players in all the game areas who can capture a city.
At this stage, the cities are all system cities.
And the system city is distributed in the hands of different forces. Take the China region as an example, the imperial court has a city in its hands, and the barbarians have a city in their hands.
The city in the hands of the imperial court, no one can make up their minds, and if they do, they will be anti-thieves. Not to mention that there are no player forces that can defeat the imperial court, even if there is, they can really make up their minds to break with the imperial court?
And the city in the hands of the barbarians, on the grassland, the player forces dare not go. Without cavalry, you would be caught as a slave if you went to the steppe.
Western regions? That's also state-built. It's not something that players can fight against.
In the land of the Southern Barbarians, there are many cities, which are relatively loosely connected with each other. However, it is difficult for a large group of men and horses to pass through the plains, let alone attack other people's cities?
There are also cities in the outer lands, like the four pirate cities, but they don't have many troops. Ordinary players, with millions of them, with a certain strategy, may not be impossible to attack from land. But you have to be able to find these cities first, right?
How many people are there in a city? Theoretically, a town with 10,000 people can be upgraded to a county seat. In other words, a county town may only have 10,000 people. But in fact, this is not the case.
Take Dahan as an example, in any village, there are thousands of people, or even tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands. And any market town is basically tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of people, and it is not without a town with a million people. And the county seat is often hundreds of thousands, millions, tens of millions of people.
In a word, the population of a county is generally far more than the lower limit of 10,000 people. If you want to attack such a city, it is really impossible to capture a city without an army of millions of people.
However, even if a million troops are gathered to attack a county town, it is necessary to prevent reinforcements from other cities, market towns, and villages. In this way, the difficulty of building a system city can be imagined.
