Chen Hao entered Gubao Town surrounded by his personal guards, and when he came to Guanning Manor, he saw the headquarters he had personally established. Upon entering the headquarters, he quickly received a system prompt; "Player Chen Baxian, congratulations on occupying the Guanning Iron Cavalry Headquarters, have you chosen to establish your own base?"

Chen Hao chose no, Yuan Shikai is such a strong figure, and he must not allow others to stir up trouble in his territory. If Chen Hao chooses to establish a base in Gubao Town, although Lao Yuan will not say anything because of Li Pisen's face, his impression of him will become bad.

Chen Hao's establishment of a base in Gubao Town, the only benefit he got was that he could hire more NPCs, but it didn't make sense to him. Even if he doesn't establish a base and the rank of lieutenant can hire 20 NPCs, so far he has only hired 12 people, and he has no financial backing up to do it, so he is destined to take the elite route in the early stage, and he doesn't need to hire a large number of NPCs.

The NPCs hired by the player can be upgraded, so participating in actual combat is the best way to improve the combat effectiveness of the troops, and veterans are the foundation of the troops. If the player wins the battle for a long time and the troops have few casualties and retain a large number of key veterans, the combat effectiveness of the troops will be strong. On the other hand, if the player loses battles frequently, even if they have enough money to recruit soldiers, a unit full of new recruits will not have much combat effectiveness.

When players choose to recruit NPCs, they should not only look at the current attributes of the NPCs, but also consider the growth potential. For example, the eleven guards recruited by Chen Hao are about level 40, and their fighting and shooting are more than 50, and their growth potential is in the middle and upper, and Feng Yong's growth potential is excellent in fighting and shooting over 60.

If the NPC level is level 40 and the attribute points in the field of expertise are only 40 points on average, then his growth potential is average; When the level reaches level 40, the attribute points in the field of expertise are below 40, and the growth potential is very poor, and even if the level is raised, there is not much prospect.

Chen Hao's plan is that after establishing a base area, it is not much more expensive to recruit soldiers, and select soldiers with good growth potential. When the time comes, rely on the advantage of future memory to fight some assured battles first, let the potential of the soldiers become strength, and train an elite army of one or two thousand people as the foundation.

Now that the base has been established to recruit more people, it is a waste of money, not to mention, and it will not help more in the future. He instructed the soldiers of the Wuwei Right Army to seal off the headquarters and barracks of Gubao Town, which could be used as evidence of Guan Ning's crime of rebellion, and then left two hundred infantry guards to guard them.

There were more than 100 war horses left in Guan Ning's iron cavalry, including the jade lion that Guan Ning liked, and Chen Hao ordered them all to be taken away. The cavalry battalion was in front, the infantry battalion was behind, and the troops marched into the city of Qinan.

Not long after entering the city, Yuan Shikai, who received the good news, came out accompanied by a cadre of generals, and laughed and said: "There are 1,486 bandits who have been annihilated, and the troops have only suffered 3 casualties. ”

Chen Hao hurriedly rolled into the saddle and dismounted and said: "Your Excellency the Governor has praised it, this time I was able to exterminate the boxers because the Wuwei Army was well-trained, and it was all the credit of the adults and the generals, I was just lucky." ”

The generals beside Yuan Shikai looked at Chen Hao's eyes and softened a lot, this time the killing of the boxers was a good opportunity to earn credit, but Yuan Shikai gave Chen Hao, and many people were unhappy. Chen Hao said that they were well-trained, which made them secretly praise this stranger in their hearts for being a man, and the hostility dissipated invisibly.

Yuan Shikai took Chen Hao's hand and walked to the governor's yamen, and praised repeatedly: "Victory is not arrogant and defeated, there is the style of ancient famous generals, and it is dangerous to go to the northeast, why don't I go to the imperial court and transfer you to serve in Qilu?" ”

Chen Hao said with a grateful face: "Thank you Lord Governor for your kindness, I have served under Lord Nie, Lord Nie knows that he can't resist the coalition army and still repays the country with his death, I have the idea of going to the northeast to resist the Russians, there is no reason to give up halfway, if I am lucky enough not to die in the northeast, I will serve the lord." ”

The plot of Nie Shicheng's death in Balitai has happened, and Yuan Shikai also got the news, he sighed and said: "How difficult the country is, even you, a young man who is less than seventeen years old, have already donated his life to serve the country, it seems that I am still in the Qing Dynasty." Since you've made up your mind, I won't stop you, haha! I promised to reward you with "Journey to the East" after the bandits were eliminated this time, and now is the time for me to redeem my promise. ”

"In addition, because your realization this time is perfect, this official will reward you with an additional ten good horses for your strength, and you can choose among the captured war horses."

"Player Chen Baxian, congratulations on completing the task 'Attacking the Bandits' released by NPC Yuan Shikai, you got the book "Journey to the East", and because the system judged that your mission performance was S, you got an additional ten war horses as a reward."

After receiving the system prompt, Chen Hao immediately remembered Guan Ning's jade lion, although the jade lion is not as good as kicking the snow black horse, it is also a rare good horse. This was a surprise for him, and he hurriedly thanked him, "Thank you, Lord Governor." ”

"Let's go! Go to the governor's yamen and his own officials to celebrate your achievements. ”

Chen Hao took his guards to the governor's yamen, and Guan Ning was also resurrected in Qining City, and since his headquarters was occupied, the system randomly resurrected him in a nearby city. After establishing the first command center in the game, Guan Ning was full of ambition, and this battle shattered all his illusions, and he didn't know what to do for a while.

Guan Ning is very face-saving, compared to the tens of millions of RMB lost this time, he cares more about whether he will be ridiculed. Exiting the game landing forum, what caught his eye was a post that made him spurt blood, titled "The first base in Huaxia District has fallen, and the director Chen Baxian has been killed".

Clicking into this post, Guan Ning found that he was reluctant to be supported by the laughing Maitreya to escape The picture was placed at the beginning of the post, which made his face turn pale.

"Guan Ning, one of the famous four young people in Kyoto, how many people envy and hate the object, and he can only be looked up to when he enters the game. To establish the first large cavalry team in the game, the first headquarters, and the first barracks, he occupied a lot of firsts, and his development trajectory was inseparable from the word 'money'.

"That's right, what I want to express is that Guan Ning has nothing but money, and there is so much money to support it, even a straw bale can create these firsts. Guan Ning is a waste, he once publicly said that 'money' is also a kind of its own resources, and there is no reason to give up the advantage of 'money'. ”

"A capable person with money packaging is the icing on the cake, and a waste is also a waste even with almighty money packaging. Even if the crow finds the most beautiful feathers in the world to decorate itself, it is still a crow; Trafficking Qilu's pigs to the capital, the pig is still a pig, and nothing will change......"

Guan Ning only felt that his brain was about to explode, and the poster was simply insulting him and degrading him to worthless. He has always thought highly of himself, thinking that he is well-educated, has seen the world, and is also an elite in society despite the shell of money, but the damn poster denies all this.

What made Guan Ning vomit blood was that because of his miserable failure in the game, he couldn't even find a reason to refute it.

Almost 80% of the posts on the Huaxia District forum are discussing the destruction of the first base area, and almost all of them have one thing in common, Chen Baxian was lifted to the sky and Guan Ning was trampled to the ground. Guan Ning bit his lower lip tightly, controlled his violent temper, and read the insulting comments of others on him one by one, he had to keep in mind this shame.

There are also some posts on the forum that throw away the grievances between Ning Ning and Chen Baxian and simply discuss the game strategy, mainly around the establishment of a base to discuss. Some people believe that although the destruction of Guan Ning was related to Chen Baxian, after Yuan Shikai sent people to exterminate Guan Ning's iron cavalry, the official announcement issued in Qi Nan said that Guan Ning was a bandit who "gathered a crowd to make a rebellion", and listed the evidence that Guan Ning committed rebellion, which means that the Qing court was not muddy, and it was very risky to establish a base area.

The destruction of the Guanning Iron Cavalry Base has panicked players who choose to establish a base near a big city, and it also makes players who have established a base in remote places happy and proud of their foresight.

These have nothing to do with Chen Hao, he didn't even log in to the forum, and after enjoying the celebration banquet held by Yuan Shikai, he took a break and quit the game. Lying in the game warehouse and falling asleep, it had been a day when she entered the game again, Tang Qunying got off the train at Qinan Station, and the three thieves took her to the inn to settle down.

Tang Qunying was in a hurry, she was walking back and forth at the door when Chen Hao pushed open the door of the guest room, and when she saw Chen Hao, she said loudly: "Little brother Baxian, why don't you go directly to the Northeast, how long do you want to stay here in Qilu?" ”

Chen Hao said with a smile: "My matter in Qilu has been dealt with, how many arms did you buy, Sister Tang?" ”

Tang Qunying said proudly: "After Zheng Laosan's belongings were disposed of, he sold more than 30,000 oceans, and I relied on my friend's relationship to contact a Briton and bought 500 Enfield rifles at the price of 50 oceans each, and the rest of the money was all used to buy bullets." ”

Zheng Laosan's property was sold for more than 30,000 oceans, which was already an unexpected surprise for Chen Hao, and Tang Qunying's price for buying a gun was also very reasonable, but the guns and ammunition were still far from enough. There are more than 10,000 NPC soldiers in the first batch of invasion of the Russian army, and this is not counting the players, the NPC horse bandits are holding some old-fashioned weapons, and if they want to give full play to the combat effectiveness of the horse bandits, they must change their equipment.

Bai Hu Demon and the others did not turn the horse bandits into subordinates in the northeast, they only cooperated with each other, but they took the lead in contacting the horse bandits in various mountains. According to Chen Hao's arrangement, Bai Hu Demon has successively changed guns for more than 4,000 horse bandits, and after buying guns, they will sell them to horse bandits, and then use the money of horse bandits to buy guns...... In order to let the horse bandits listen to the command, the white demon did not make the difference in the middle, and even sometimes gave the horse bandit leader a good gun, and he was always spending money to buy and drink. Even so, after the arms embargo imposed by the great powers, business could not continue, and most of the horse bandits recruited were still unarmed and unarmed.
