Shang Ji's preparations for the marriage did not affect the construction work in Xiangping City.

Having said that, the group of big bosses under Shang Ji's command didn't make a mess in the wedding preparations, let alone think about helping.

The army should be trained and trained, the bandits should be exterminated, and even Deng Yan's government affairs have not been put down, and the construction of Chidao is also in full swing with the support of massive funds.

At the same time, Shang Ji made some minor adjustments to the military planning of Liaodong.

First of all, the evaluation standards for soldiers have been raised again.

The 70,000 Longyou Legion was singled out as the absolute main force of the Shang family. The lowest sixth-order special army legion, to put it bluntly, even if the same number of Luoyang forbidden troops are pulled over to set up an opening battle, it is not necessarily that the Longyou Legion will lose!

In addition to the Longyou Legion, the standard of the remaining more than 400,000 battle troops was raised by half a rank again, requiring at least half of each department to reach the strength of the fifth order.

This requirement is actually not high, and there is a high chance that a non-commissioned soldier trained by the giant barracks will directly advance to a fourth-order non-commissioned soldier. And Shang Ji's own characteristic title bonuses and the bonuses of various special buildings in Xiangping City are superimposed on each other, and the success rate of the transformation of fourth-order soldiers is almost close to 90%.

If it is a barracks that integrates Yan Zhiyiwu, the effect is even worse, and the potential of the soldiers is greater.

Shang Ji has decided that the barracks that fuse Yan Zhiyiwu will continue to recruit soldiers with all their might, and the other three giant barracks will not be used until an emergency, so as to ensure that the combat power of the army can be maximized.

In fact, there were three pieces of Yan Zhiyiwu that were exchanged at the beginning, and now Shang Ji has only used one, and there are two more that can be used.

But Shang Ji didn't have all the brains fused.

Tsubame no Yiwu has a trait that once fused, it cannot be dismantled and transferred.

And Liaodong is only a corner of the entire Yandi, and it is impossible for Shang Ji to be limited to the development of Liaodong all the time. There is no doubt that the strategic focus of the Shang Ji Army in the next step is how to assign the entire Youzhou to its own name. In his plan, Yandi, that is, Youzhou, should be divided into three parts.

With Liaodong as the core, it includes the eastern part of Liaodong's vassal states, Xuanfu and Lelang; With Youbeiping County as the core, including the central part of Liaoxi and Yuyang, the rest is the western region with Guangyang County as the core.

At the same time, the three core counties will be used as the center to build a northern defense network, which will be used to defend against external attacks or as a base for active attacks.

In this way, concentrating Yanzhi Yiwu in one place will be a great waste of its own value. Therefore, Shang Ji would rather endure it for the time being, rather than recklessly use Yan Zhiyiwu all at once.

If the situation allows in the future, Shang Ji will gradually form and eliminate the non-Yan Yiyi warriors, and the battle army will be composed of all Yan Zhiyi warriors.

Of course, this is a long-term goal, and it is almost impossible to achieve, after all, there are only three Yan Zhi Yiwu, and even if the giant barracks are fused, the speed of training soldiers still cannot keep up with the speed of consumption of the army.

In the event of a large-scale war, all the barracks will be fully firepowered, and overtime training will not be enough to supply the front.

In addition to the new requirements for the soldiers, there are also higher requirements for the core generals.

The Seven Names and Numbers military generals want to tap all the potential of the title, and their combat power is at least not weaker than the four martial gods inscribed by the tiger, leopard, wolf and eagle.

And several other generals who failed to get the title reward also can't lower their requirements, at least a team of two can beat a Martial God Inscription.

As for Liu Meng, Shang Ji's requirements are even higher, at least he can survive ten rounds under Tai Shici!

Now Liu Yi is no longer Liu Meng's opponent, and Shang Ji, as the lord, is not easy to fight against Liu Meng in person, so his assessment standard has been changed to Tai Shici.

Although Liu Meng Tai Shi Ci has no obvious gap in equipment and titles, even Liu Meng's title has a small advantage in individual battles. However, due to the lack of hard power, Liu Meng is still far from being Tai Shici's opponent.

Now Liu Meng's force value has just reached 95 points, which can be regarded as a super-first-class mid-term. And Tai Shi Ci's force value is 97 points, and he is a top military general in the early stage.

Although the difference between the two force values is only two points, the difficulty of increasing the force value in the later stage increases exponentially, and at the same time, the strength increase brought by a little force value is also more and more exaggerated.

In the early stage, it is possible to counterattack and kill if the force value is a few points or even ten points, but when it comes to 90 points, especially 94 points, it is almost impossible to counterattack and kill even if the force value is only a little different, and there is no special ability like a hanging.

And Liu Meng and Tai Shi Ci are two points apart, including a point of crucial promotion of top generals, if Tai Shi Ci goes all out, there is a considerable chance of causing a second kill effect to Liu Meng.

In fact, if it was just an ordinary super-first-class general, it would not be difficult for Tai Shi Ci to kill with one blow in a one-on-one duel.

Liu Meng still has a long way to go if he wants to grow into a real top general.

In addition to the military, the government affairs also required Liaodong to be ready for a major war at any time.

Although the grain reserves in the Qiankun Creation Ring were sufficient, Shang Ji still ordered the large-scale purchase of grain as a strategic reserve.

At the same time, the blacksmith workshop is in full swing, producing equipment at all levels, and consumables such as various arrows and spears are the top priority. The alchemy room also worked day and night, working overtime to produce all kinds of basic pills.

At present, with the strong support of the Liu family, the alchemy room has been able to produce 20 strong bone pills per day, 100 large mixed yuan pills, and 300 pairs of marching powder and hemostatic powder.

At present, there are almost no officers at the peak of high-ranking military generals in the Shang army. As long as the strength is reached, you can apply for a strong bone pill by virtue of your military exploits.

Even with the deliberate connivance of Shang Ji, even if the combat merits are not enough for the time being, they can rely on the method of arrears to overdraft and exchange in advance, and the lack of military merits will be slowly compensated after promotion.

Under various preferential policies, once the force value is promoted to 69 points, you can immediately rely on the Strong Bone Pill to advance to the third-rate general. At present, the proportion of third-rate generals in the Shang army far exceeds that of ordinary armies.

In the Liaodong War Army alone, there are thousands of third-rate generals who hold the posts of military marquis, even uncles, and tun chiefs, and the quality is outstanding, and the large number of grassroots generals has greatly improved the overall strength of the Xiangping Army, whether it is the speed and depth of the execution of orders, or the efficiency of training in peacetime, and even the morale of the army in battle.

Of course, this boost comes with a wave of gold. The cost of a strong bone pill can be low, even if you have a Dan master, a venue and a pill, on average, a strong bone pill will cost about 800 gold coins.

The alchemy workshop needs 20,000 yuan of capital investment almost every day, and the majority of it is smashed on the body of the strong bone pill.

In addition, in order to build a large number of grassroots generals, Shang Ji also spent a lot of money to build a large number of blacksmith shops, and hired players and high-level blacksmiths among the aborigines to join.

Originally, when the number of Shang Ji troops was small, it was enough for the generals to change their outfits by relying on capture. However, as the military becomes more institutionalized and large-scale, it will be a bit of a fool's dream to rely on capture.

The blacksmith's workshop is naturally fast and cheap to produce standard equipment, but it is a little difficult to use non-standard equipment for generals.

As the saying goes, the ruler is short and the inch is long, and high-grade blacksmiths are very suitable for creating non-standard high-end equipment with small quantities and high quality requirements.

Fortunately, Shang Ji is not short of high-level war horses at present, otherwise it would be a big project to equip these thousands of third-rate generals with war horses of the corresponding level.

In general, there are countless outstanding grassroots generals in the Shang Ji army, and they rely on a lot of money!

Of course, this money is not something that anyone can smash if they want to, and without the corresponding basic conditions, there is no place to spend the money!
