Lord of the people online game

To unify Langya country within five years, there are still more than three years left.

Under the premise that Chutian controls the two counties, the difficulty of unifying the Langya Kingdom is even smaller than the achievements in the previous stage.

After digesting two counties, Chutian can start coveting other counties.

Unsatisfied with the suffering, now that he has gained Long, he returns to Shu.

Human desires are endless. Once they start to expand, they will not stop until they reach the limit.

"What happened?"

Xue Yue saw that Chu Tian was in a daze. As a player, she knew that Chu Tian was checking the panel.

"A little gain..."

Chu Tian didn't mention to anyone that he had an achievement system.

In order to restore public order in Yangdu County, Chutian stationed his army in Yangdu City for several days. Fang Xuanling assisted Chutian in appointing new officials in Yangdu City to restore order.

Destruction is easier than construction. After a city is sacked by rebels, it will take less than a year and a half to restore its former prosperity.

Fortunately, Chutian has Fang Xuanling.

Fang Xuanling not only joined the army, but was also a civil servant at the prime minister level. He quickly determined the team of civil servants to govern Yangdu County.

A civil servant was parachuted from Xiacheng to serve as the county magistrate, and then a group of disciples of aristocratic families in Yangdu County were promoted to officials to win over people's hearts. Then a group of civil servants were transferred from Xiacheng and Xueyue Town to Yangdu County to check and balance the local aristocratic families.

"Yangdu County will be divided into two factions: local aristocratic families and airborne civil servants. If Yangdu County wants to restore prosperity, it needs to win over the local aristocratic families and let them come forward to appease people's hearts, collect money and food, and establish order as soon as possible. When Yangdu County recovers, it will begin

Support the airborne civil servants to suppress these aristocratic families and reduce the aristocratic families’ control over the local area.”

Fang Xuanling proposed counterbalancing strategies to Chu Tian.

Sure enough, the methods of ancient politicians were ruthless. Fang Xuanling's suggestion was to burn bridges across the river. Win over local gentry and stabilize people's hearts. After stabilization, they would suppress the gentry and gradually strengthen the centralization of power.

This is also a method commonly used in troubled times.

At the beginning of the establishment of a dynasty, there are often a large number of princes and uncles. After the dynasty is stable, they find various reasons to cut down the vassal and kill the heroes...

"Let's make arrangements as you said. Appoint Zhou Yafu as the county captain, responsible for pacifying the villages and towns in Yangdu County that have not yet surrendered. At the same time, he will be stationed in Yangdu City to improve public security and guard against incoming attacks."

After Chutian appointed a group of civil servants, he also decided to appoint Zhou Yafu as a garrison general to garrison Yangdu City and focus on defense.

Yangdu County Lieutenant was a position appointed by Chu Tian to Zhou Yafu. It was not recognized by the court and had no special effects. Theoretically, Chu Tian could proclaim himself a general, but he would be hated by some princes.

At present, Chu Tian calls himself Kaiyang Ling, Cavalry Commander, and privately gives official positions to his subordinates to win over people's hearts.

He left 10,000 men for Zhou Yafu. Except for Xiliu Camp, the rest were basically first- and second-level infantry archers.

Zhou Yafu's current loyalty level is 91 points. Even if he is coerced and lured by other lords, there is basically no possibility of betrayal.

However, in "Lords", you can see the loyalty of military commanders, which does not mean that nothing will happen if you appoint military commanders with high loyalty.

First of all, the lord must appear in front of the general to see the general's loyalty.

Secondly, the loyalty of generals will change. If the generals guard a remote place and the lord is away for a long time, the lord will not be able to know if the loyalty has declined. The sky is high and the emperor is far away, and rebellion is easy to occur.

Finally, various unexpected events can cause a general's loyalty to fluctuate drastically. For example, a lord is defeated by the enemy, a general is attracted by the enemy, a lord kills a minister for no reason... These sudden events may cause a general's loyalty to fluctuate.

90 drops to 60, and the specific changes in loyalty vary from person to person.

Zhou Yafu should not be a military commander prone to rebellion.

"Qi Xiaobai and Wu Sangui went to join Ling Feng, the lord of Ju County. Now Ling Feng has two historical generals, Xu Sheng and Wu Sangui, under his command. You must be careful."

Some free players working secretly for Chutian informed Wu Sangui of his whereabouts.

"There are two historical military generals in Ju County... I understand."

Chutian unfolded the nearby map and found that Ju County is just east of Yangdu County.

Generally speaking, cities are located next to rivers and lakes for easy access to water. Alluvial plains are easily formed where rivers flow, and the soil is fertile, suitable for the development of agriculture.

Kaiyang County and Yangdu County are close to the Yi River, while Ju County is close to the Shu River.

To the east of Yangdu County is Ju County, to the east of Ju County are coastal hills, and to the east are Xihai County and the sea.

These two counties both belong to the Langya Kingdom and are also the targets of Chutian's next attack.

"Ask Zhou Yafu to be wary of Wu Sangui and Xu Sheng, and place scouts along the Yi River. Once Wu Sangui and Xu Sheng send troops, they must cross the Yi River, but they can attack halfway across the river."

With the existence of Yihe River, it is easier to defend. Wu Sangui cannot get through, and Chutian cannot get through either.

After arranging the personnel to garrison and manage Ju County, Chutian's troops returned to Xiacheng.

Kaiyang County is Chutian's basic base, because the plains in Kaiyang County are larger, and it will not be a problem to feed tens of millions of people through agriculture in the future.

Xue Yue led ten thousand people to garrison Xue Yue Town, echoing Zhou Yafu from afar.

In fact, only 5,000 of her ten thousand people were professional soldiers, and the other 5,000 were improvised Xiangyong. After returning to Xia Town, she immediately disbanded the Xiangyong.

Xia City has now restored its former prosperity.

The anti-Chutian alliance existed in name only, and all of Kaiyang County fell into Chutian territory. There was no trace of the enemy, so Xia City opened its gates and was bustling as before.

The coalition forces didn't even see the walls of Xia City.

"We need to compensate horse merchants with 10,563 taels of silver, and compensate strangers and common people with 11,534 taels of silver..."

Xia Liang calculates the cost of using the Fire Horse Array.

After using the Fire Horse Formation, all the horses with burnt tails were bought by the Lord's Mansion, which was a big expense. The Lord's Mansion also received a batch of horses with burnt tails.

"Lord, the teacher is returning to the city!"

Xia Liang, Li Kui and other officials who were handling affairs in the lord's mansion were alerted and immediately went out of the city to greet him.

Chu Tian stationed his huge army outside the city and only brought some elite troops into the city.

Most of the soldiers under Chu Tian's command are surrendered troops from Langya City or the coalition forces.

Chutian also had to spend special energy to reorganize the army, dismiss some weak soldiers and low-level units, and keep the elite among them.

The level of these reduced soldiers is not low, and is better than the newly recruited soldiers.

When the officials in Xia City saw Chu Tian's army, they finally relaxed.

Xia City has experienced the biggest crisis. As long as there is a defeat, Xia City may be invaded by the coalition forces.

"I have heard that you defeated Wu Dun in Liangshan Town, and I will give you a hundred acres of fertile land as a special reward."

Chu Tian was very satisfied with Xia Liang's performance, and the only way to win her over was to reward her with fields.

After owning two county towns, Chutian now has no shortage of farmland, and one hundred acres of farmland can still be obtained.

It would not be an exaggeration to reward him with a thousand acres of fertile land for his efforts in defending Xia City.

Returning to the Lord's Mansion, Chu Tian handed a construction drawing to Fang Xuanling: "This is the construction drawing of the Confucius Temple, a seventh-level cultural building. You arrange resources and labor for the construction."

Chutian got a special building and asked Fang Xuanling to arrange the construction.

【Name】:Confucius Temple

[Grade]: Seventh-level cultural building

[General effect]: Cultural prosperity +20%; the probability of a lord gaining support from scholar-bureaucrats increases; the probability of the appearance of special talents like officials +1%.

[Special Effect 1-Eternal Master]: When you have the special hero Confucius, the effect of the Confucius Temple is +50%.

[Special Effect 2-Educate All Peoples]: If this building is built in a foreign city, special effects will be unlocked.

[Special Effect 3-Imperial Examination System]: When the lord implements the imperial examination system, special effects will be unlocked.

This is the first time Chutian has obtained the construction drawings of a seventh-level building.

The bonuses of the Confucius Temple are very exaggerated, and there are three special effects that have not been unlocked.

The first effect can only be activated by recruiting Confucius.

I didn’t expect that Confucius could also be recruited.

It is estimated that Confucius is as special a talent as the poet Du Fu, but Confucius has greater influence than Du Fu.

The second effect requires building Confucius temples in cities in other civilized areas to make them submit to Chinese culture. This effect is very overbearing.

At present, Chutian does not control any foreign cities, so it is impossible to build Confucius Temple in other civilized areas.

However, if he gets more drawings of Confucius temples in the future, Chutian would not mind building Confucian temples in Osaka, Edo, Rome, and Paris to educate the barbarians.

The third effect is the imperial examination system.

At present, Chutian does not have the energy to implement the imperial examination system, but as its territory expands, it will definitely be implemented in the future.

The lord can see the attributes of his subordinates, but he can only view them after his subordinates are loyal.

Now that Chutian has a population of 800,000, it is impossible for Chutian to demand allegiance from them one by one and then check their attributes.

Only through imperial examinations, including civil and military examinations, a group of officials and ordinary generals could be selected, and then Chutian would check them and arrange their positions according to their abilities and characteristics.

With the player panel, Chutian can recognize talents at a glance.

The only thing you can't see is your character.

The Confucius Temple also has the bonus of being supported by aristocratic officials.

This is a good thing. If Chutian wants to win Xuzhou, he must first get the support of the Xuzhou families.

Disobedience is also a difficult thing for aristocratic families.

It is basically unrealistic to eliminate the family.

As long as there is a bureaucratic class, aristocratic families will exist. When old aristocratic families fall into ruin, new aristocratic families will be born.

The imperial examination system has accelerated the turnover of aristocratic families to a certain extent.

Chu Tian didn't think about the problem of defending the world, and now he is still conquering the world.

When conquering the world, as long as the interests of aristocratic families are tied together with their own interests, they will try their best to assist their expansion.

Fang Xuanling accepted the drawings of the Confucius Temple and immediately went down to make arrangements.

If Xia City had a seventh-level cultural building, coupled with the cultural influence bonus brought by Du Fu, Chu Tian thought that one day he might be able to conquer the world through culture.

Promote Chinese culture as mainstream culture, retain the culture of other civilizations, and reduce them to minority cultures...

This is probably what Chu Tian was thinking.

He swears he has great respect for cultural diversity.

Chu Tian realized that he was thinking too far away again and quickly brought his thoughts back.

There are still many chores waiting for him to deal with in the Lord's Mansion.

Now his territory is in some chaos. Each town recruited a large number of soldiers when launching a war. As a result, the coalition forces were never able to reach Xia City. There were many more professional soldiers in each town.

"Disband the redundant professional soldiers in each town and reorganize the army."

Chutian didn't want to raise too many idle soldiers, which would place too much burden on the finances.

"Xia City recruited 3,000 new soldiers during this period, and Langya City recruited 5,000 new soldiers. In addition to the original 8,000 defenders of the two cities, there are a total of 16,000 people. You brought back 7,000 people, and Zhou Yafu's 10,000 people. Xue

With 5,000 soldiers in the month, the number of soldiers in the territory has reached 38,000. Among them, Xiliu Camp and Shesheng Camp have very high salaries. They need to pay as much as 80,000 taels of military salary every month. This does not include the replacement of weapons.

, the cost of raising war horses.”

Xia Liang made the simplest calculation for Chu Tian.

When Chu Tian heard the astonishing figures, he couldn't help but be secretly surprised.

The explosion of troops was a moment of joy, but if we really had to maintain such a large army, our finances would be overwhelmed.

The army needs money and food, and it also needs to equip war horses. After the separation of soldiers and peasants, they will not engage in production, and money will be lost.

The cost of high-level arms is several times, or even more than ten times, that of low-level arms.

Chutian also plans to recruit more high-level troops.

"Based on the current population size and financial revenue and expenditure, I propose to maintain the size of the army at 5,000 high-level arms and 20,000 low-level arms. Or, 3,000 high-level arms and 30,000 low-level arms."

Chutian had to make a choice.

This time he couldn't take them all. Taking the route of elite soldiers meant laying off some redundant low-level soldiers.

"Five thousand high-level troops and 20,000 low-level troops, I will reorganize the army within three days."

Chu Tian limited time for himself.

"Well. A lot of things have happened in Donghan District during this period. I think you should pay attention to these things."

"The lord of Hanzhong County, Zhang Dao, openly launched the Yellow Turban Uprising. At the same time, he extended kindness in the name of five measures of rice. The refugees in Hanzhong County came to seek refuge one after another, gathering hundreds of thousands of people, including more than 100,000 young men. Now he has captured Nanzheng City.

, everyone thinks that he is the lord with the largest number of troops. As for the combat effectiveness, since it is a peasant army, it may not be satisfactory."

"More than 100,000 peasant troops are already quite a lot, and if he dares to launch a peasant uprising, there must be special bonuses."

Chutian met Zhang Dao during the national war, a very silent and low-key lord.

"The prefect of Hanzhong and the governor of Yizhou are trying to encircle and suppress him. His uprising seems to be huge, but in fact it is in danger of being suppressed at any time. The cities in Yangzhou currently captured by the lords include Juchao, Haiyan, Ganxian... Jingzhou is captured by the lords

The cities captured include Xiangnan, Qujiang, Chaling..."

Chu Tian heard the report that almost every county in every state had been attacked by the player lord, and there were many cities that had been captured.

The reasons for conquering these cities are also all kinds of strange.

Chutian occupied Kaiyang County and Yangdu County, and claimed to be attacking the Taishan bandits.

Zhang Dao was more direct, launching a peasant uprising with the goal of overthrowing the imperial court.

Other lords used the banners of fighting against bandits, upholding justice for heaven, and fighting against rebellious ministers.

The imperial court has lost control over the local area. As long as it has soldiers and food, it can separatist rule. The prerequisite is that it must handle the relationship with the surrounding governors and governors.

Chu Tian had some understanding of the general situation in the Eastern Han Dynasty, and powerful lords would basically try to capture a county town as a stronghold.

"Finally, the sixth-level cavalry battalion has been built. Do you want to consider recruiting sixth-level cavalry?"
