Chen Hao's attribute panel site column has become 1, which means that he has a territory, and the territory range is no more than one town. If he controls more than one town, the stats panel will indicate how many towns his territory has. Once he has complete control of a county, he can view the situation of the county at any time, and which towns in the county will also be displayed in the properties panel.

The C-level headquarters construction blueprint can control up to one county, but it does not mean that once the headquarters is established with the C-level headquarters construction blueprint, the county is completely under the player's jurisdiction. When the headquarters was first established, the system stipulated that the player could control a radius of 500 meters, and in order to control more points, the player needed to check the nearby household registration, and start collecting taxes in these areas, and establish a simple management system to become their own territory.

Chen Hao established this base only for the sake of transition, and had no intention of expanding at all, so he would only control the Dongchangbao area. The necessary buildings were built in Dongchang Fort, and then under the official banner, a card was set up on the Liao River to collect taxes, and the taxes were used to cover his usual expenses for raising soldiers.

Players want to expand their territory after establishing a base because the larger the territory, the more NPCs they manage, and the wider the scope of conscription. At the same time, the more territory you control, the more people you can collect taxes, and you can continue to grow and develop. Chen Hao did not think of relying on the people who were looking for land to collect taxes, but was ready to monopolize the Liaohe River, and there was no need for large-scale expansion.

In the game, it is risky to establish a base for expansion, and the larger the territory, the more eye-catching it is, and it may attract suppression by the official army. Chen Hao himself is a fellow acquaintance of the Yingkou Zhili Hall, if he only develops in Dongchangbao, he will not worry even if someone sues the imperial court. Because of the small scope of Dongchang Fort, no one would believe that he wanted to rebel on such a small territory, and the imperial court asked him that he could go back in order to establish an arsenal.

After establishing a base, Chen Hao can appoint official positions and hire more NPCs. He appointed Yang Du as the mayor of Dongchangbao Town, and at the same time appointed Wu Peifu as the commander of the Black Dragon Battalion. These two positions are not as high as the positions appointed by the imperial court to Yang Du and Wu Peifu, but the significance is very different, because this is the position of Chen Hao's base.

During the time that Chen Hao left, he arranged for the player to win over the elite soldiers of the Black Dragon Battalion, and with the efforts of Bai Hu Demon and others, the Black Dragon Battalion already had more than two hundred soldiers who were willing to be loyal to him personally. After repairing the headquarters and establishing a base area, Chen Hao's hiring of NPCs was no longer restricted, and he immediately took more than 200 soldiers under his command.

Most of these ordinary soldiers only have individual attributes, and the few who have the talent of commanding are also not high, and Chen Hao no longer worries about betrayal after subduing them. After gathering more than 200 soldiers, he immediately asked these soldiers to help do the work for the other soldiers of the Black Dragon Battalion, trying to get more soldiers loyal to him personally.

Chen Hao was digging his own corners, which allowed him to quickly build a private army. The soldiers of the Black Dragon Battalion were originally his subordinates, and they were also paid by him privately, and with the mobilization of more than 200 soldiers he had recruited, more than 100 soldiers would soon be willing to be loyal to him and become a private army, and other NPCs still need to develop slowly.

Chen Hao was not in a hurry at all, in the future, he would ask Du Lisan to treat the soldiers of the Black Dragon Battalion differently. Those who took refuge in him were paid an additional two oceans, and were given more preferential treatment in terms of food and drink, and those who were unwilling to be personally loyal to him were treated differently. As long as it continues for a long time, it is believed that more soldiers will become private soldiers.

After the Black Dragon Battalion had a part of its private army, it quickly selected potential elites from several other battalions to join, and then developed into its own subordinates. This is the advantage of holding an official position in the imperial court, you can use the military salary of the imperial court to train excellent soldiers for yourself, and then turn these soldiers into private soldiers. The generals have done a lot of this throughout the ages, and Chen Hao is just picking up the wisdom of his predecessors!

Chen Hao took out the barracks construction drawings and set up a barracks in the suburbs, although this was already a barracks, but Chen Hao used the barracks construction drawings after the barracks became his private. The original barracks were dilapidated, and he used B-class barracks construction drawings, which looked much more pleasing to the eye after using a lot of building materials.

Chen Hao has nine battalions under his command, this military camp can only be used by the Black Dragon Battalion, and after the number of private soldiers can form a battalion, this barracks is only reserved for private soldiers. After building the barracks and subduing nearly 400 private soldiers, Chen Hao took out the C-level arsenal construction drawings, and he wanted to build the arsenal next to the barracks.

The construction of the arsenal building does not consume many building materials, because the main value of the arsenal is the machine. After the plant was built, Chen Hao asked Yang Du to arrange for someone to send all the machines from the Jilin Machinery Bureau into the plant, and then the twenty technicians who were abducted by Gaoxin commanded the installation, as long as the power was turned on, the arsenal could start running.

Chen Hao asked Yang Du to go to the Jilin Machinery Bureau to ask for ten technicians and about twenty apprentices. The other assistants of the Jilin Machinery Bureau had no choice but to agree to divide half of the machine, and after the machine arrived, Yang Du still brought twenty gun technicians and fifty apprentices to Yingkou.

The factory building is built, the technicians and workers are available, and as long as there are raw materials and there are electric arsenals, the factory can operate. Chen Hao did not have the construction drawings of the power plant, and the construction of the power plant required a lot of money, and he was not prepared to develop in Yingkou for a long time, even if he had the drawings, he would not choose to build. There is no power plant in Yingkou, and if he wants to use electricity, he must get permission from Zengqi and then connect the wires to Yingkou.

Therefore, the arsenal cannot be started at the time of occupation, and now it can only be an ornament, which is no way. After building the arsenal, Chen Hao took his subordinates to the river, and then took out the construction drawings of the C-level naval academy.

Chen Hao had the idea of establishing a base in Yingkou after he had that crazy idea, so the Naval Academy was the building he valued the most. It doesn't take much money to set up a naval academy, but in the future, you have to find a way to hire teachers and recruit cadets, and the expenses will definitely be very large in the future.

Chen Hao built the Naval Academy into a hidden place, and he did not have a naval division battalion under him, and the private naval academy would definitely be impeached. After building the few buildings he needed, he inspected the soldiers of the nine battalions at Yingkou, and then rode his horse with his escort in the direction of Shengjing.

Maybe it's a coincidence! At the same time that Chen Hao established a base in Yingkou, Sanshengshi also launched a headquarters in Huludao. Sanshengshi didn't have many drawings in his hands, except for the construction drawings of the headquarters, he only had one drawing for the construction of the barracks.

In order to repay him, he appointed him to the official position of Jinzhou security commander, which was not recognized by the imperial court, and the imperial court would not pay military salaries, but it was not without any benefits. Because of the name of recruitment, Sanshengshi can openly recruit NPCs, and the NPCs he recruits are directly loyal to him, unlike Chen Hao, who needs to dig his own corners.

After Sanshengshi established the headquarters, he sent all his subordinates out to look for construction drawings, and Wang Yu was the most active. After the last time he had a "heart-to-heart" with Sanshengshi, Wang Yu was very happy that Sanshengshi listened to his opinion, and he worked very hard to let Sanshengshi defeat Chen Baxian in the game.

Not long after the establishment of the base, Sanshengshi soon received news from Wang Yu, who obtained a drawing for the construction of a steel mill. Sanshengshi was a little disappointed, there are coal mines in Huludao but no iron mines, and building a steel plant in Huludao is of little use.

Sanshengshi's choice of Huludao is only a transition for the time being, but his ambition is greater than Chen Hao's, he will not give up the base area and find another way out like Chen Hao, but is ready to take advantage of the opportunity of the Qing court's weakening control of the Northeast to gradually expand, first occupy Jinxi Hall, and finally occupy the entire Jinzhou...... After thinking about it for a long time, Sanshengshi was finally reluctant to take the construction drawings of the B-grade steelmaking plant to the trading platform for auction, but was ready to keep them for his own use. He invests more and more money in the game, and as the base is established, he can no longer rely solely on reality to invest money as before, and must find a way to find opportunities in the game.

Sanshengshi began to recruit soldiers, he wanted to recruit a large number of soldiers in a short time, and then expand his territory after getting the attention of the Kuibuha. While working hard to develop the base area, Sanshengshi has been sending people to inquire about the news in Yingkou, and he has always paid attention to Chen Hao's movements, and he has regarded Chen Hao as his biggest enemy.

In addition to being appreciated by Xuanbuha, Sanshengshi also invested a lot of money in Shengjing's general Zengqi, and after learning that he was recruiting troops, Zengqi expressed his willingness to reinforce 200 rifles. After Sanshengshi received the news that Chen Baxian had established a base in Yingkou, he immediately set off for Shengjing, and he wanted to go to Shengjing to get two hundred rifles and at the same time report to the black.

Sanshengshi knew that Zengqi attached great importance to Chen Baxian, so even if he sued him, it was estimated that it would not have much effect, but at least it would make Chen Baxian dare not expand unscrupulously. Chen Ba first served as the Tongzhi of the Yingkou Zhili Department, and he had the final say in the entire Yingkou, if he unscrupulously recruited soldiers to expand, Sanshengshi, who had finally gained a foothold in Jinzhou, would have trouble sleeping.

It's not that enemies don't get together, Chen Hao and Sanshengshi met at the gate of General Shengjing's mansion, and Chen Hao was ready to talk to Zengqi about the power plant. Sanshengshi glanced at Chen Hao, and said with a smile: "I heard that Lord Chen has recently established a base in Yingkou, and the development speed is very fast!" ”

Chen Hao heard the smell of the threat of the Sansheng Stone, and he replied, "Of course! I am a colleague of Yingkou Zhili Department, of course, I must do my best for the development of Yingkou. I heard that Sanshengshi is serving as a security commander in Jinzhou, and I consulted many NPCs in the imperial court, but they don't know what a security commander is! I don't think it should exceed the five grades! Sanshengshi, don't you understand the basic etiquette of the lower officials when they see the upper officials? Do you want this to send someone to teach you? ”
