Text: The Battle of Great Powers_Chapter 213 Zhao Yun Zilong
Half a year flies in a flash......
In the past six months, there has been no military action in Beichen Kingdom, and it has only developed in obscurity. Under the peaceful development of the commercial economy, it has become more rapid. Countless businessmen are running back and forth in the country, but these are small people.
The real big businessmen have gone abroad, and the World Chamber of Commerce is such a behemoth. This chamber of commerce was formed by dozens of wealthy businessmen in Beichen, and although it has only been a few months, its influence is extraordinary.
Because everyone knows that there is a stake in the king of Beichen in the World Chamber of Commerce, which is said to be not low. In addition to the assets that Xiao Chen invested in it, Xiao Chen also arranged various protection forces for the Chamber of Commerce.
The land route is protected by the Royal Army, and the sea route is protected by the three major fleets. It can be said that there is no need to worry about the safety of the Chamber of Commerce after going abroad.
In the southeast coastal zone, many large merchant ships can be seen. Of course, these merchant ships were sold to them by the Beichen Naval Division, and if they really let the common people build their own ships, they won't be much in half a year. If someone insisted on building a shipyard, Xiao Chen would not stop him, but provided various boats to support him.
It is impossible for the domestic economy and workshops to be presided over by the imperial court all the time, and it is better to develop more private workshops. Some unimportant issues such as shipyards, wineries, etc., have been fully liberalized. However, the most important weapon manufacturing, Xiao Chen still did not dare to ruthlessly let go of the technology.
Large merchant ships were loaded with fine wine, silk, and spices, all of which were rotten in the country. But in the blink of an eye, when sold to Xiyi country, it can get ten times the profit. As a result, these three items became a tool for Beichen Kingdom to collect foreign gold and silver.
Under the leadership of the Tianxia Chamber of Commerce, countless businessmen traveled all over the Beacon Continent, and at the same time provided a large amount of taxes for the Beichen Kingdom.
When the tax revenue reached a * again, Beichen Kingdom also strengthened its own strength for a time. The first thing to mention is the birth of the Tang Knife, the Mo Knife and the Buren Armor, as soon as these three pieces of equipment came out, they were directly armed by Xiao Chen with the Yulin Army.
Among the 100,000 soldiers of the Yulin Army, all the sword and shield soldiers were redressed with Tang swords, and the Changge soldiers remained unchanged. It's just that 3,000 soldiers were selected from countless Changge soldiers and trained as hoplites. Abandoned the delicate fish scale armor, put on a thicker step armor, and raised the sharp and heavy Mo knife. 20,000 archers were all transformed into crossbowmen.
The rest of the Guards, the Royal Army, remained unchanged. However, the Royal Cavalry was expanded into two armies. The main reason is that the supply of war horses has kept up with the progress recently, and I believe that in the future, the Beichen Kingdom will have more cavalry troops.
Within half a year, the Beichen Army has almost completed the replenishment of personnel and the replacement of garrisons. Six Royal Army, one Yulin Army, one Guards, plus two cavalry armies, can be said to be the most elite troops of the Beichen Army.
The remaining ten army units are still working hard to train desperately. I hope to be able to make a contribution in the future war and become the Seventh Royal Army. The servant army is not so well enlightened, and it just copes with it every day, and it has nothing to do with two exercises. After all, they are not elite troops after all, and the Beichen Army did not expect them to be able to do earth-shattering things.
The garrison of the second line also reached more than one million people, and they were not only the troops guarding the city, but also the reserve of the regular army of the Beichen Army. The fleets of the three naval divisions have now expanded considerably, each with 300,000 men and 1,200 warships.
Up to now, the Beichen Army has completely completed its expansion. Among them, the Han army was as high as 3.9 million, including the army, navy and cavalry. The servant army was 1.6 million, all infantry. The total number of troops is as high as 5.5 million, which is not insignificant.
However, Beichen has also reached the point of manpower shortage in China. Much of the infrastructure has been built, but some of the manual work is not being manned.
The most typical is the field, which now has a population of about 13 million in China, but the recruitment of soldiers alone accounts for nearly 4 million strong men, so that many families rely on women to work on their fields. However, fortunately, there were 500 second-line troops in each city, plus some livestock, which barely managed to manage the land cultivation of the local people.
For example, the manpower for the construction of the Tianlong Fortress has plummeted from the peak of the previous economic crisis of 3 million workers to the current 1 million workers. Moreover, all of these million people are slaves. There was no one to do it at all, and they all rushed to become soldiers......
This situation can be regarded as making Xun Yu very troubled, and he came to Xiao Chen several times to complain, hoping to reduce the recruitment of soldiers. It's just that Xiao Chen finally refused with righteous words.
Jokes, the expansion of the army and the establishment of garrisons, all made up by themselves. If you let yourself revoke it in general, isn't that a slap in the face?
The expansion of the army has led to an acute shortage of labor in the country. But it is impossible to wage war in order to obtain slave replenishment. Therefore, the country has to develop slowly. Secondly, because of the vigorous expansion of the army, the manufacture of weapons and armor cannot keep up with the progress.
In addition to the production of more than 15,000 crossbows, there is no production. And the fish scale armor is not very urgent, plus the previous capture, it can just arm the two million Han army. Because the sailor was at sea, it was really inconvenient to wear iron armor, so he had to change to leather armor. There are even many people who suggest that the leather armor should be removed and replaced with cloth armor.
The servant army finally got rid of the leather armor and replaced it with iron-inlaid armor, and the garrison of the second line was also equipped with the same equipment as the servant army. In addition, like hoplites, there is only one in the Yulin army, and the rest of the troops are not there, not even crossbowmen.
Only the Royal Army is now fully equipped with Tang Dao, but the manufacturing speed of Tang Dao is really a bit slow. It has only now completed the replacement of the 40,000 sword and shield soldiers of the Second Army with Tang Dao, and the next few armies are still the same.
The manufacture of weapons and armor could not keep up with the expansion of the army, and this matter did not attract Xiao Chen's attention. Now that the army has been expanded, and there will be no war in the next two years, the change of outfits can be done slowly.
The number of troops has expanded to the extreme, and the military strength of Beichen Kingdom has once again surpassed the dragon and become the strongest in the world. Previously, because of the bloody war for half a year, the military strength of Beichen Kingdom was greatly reduced. And Long Teng Yuye, after defending for a while, received the assistance of many Chinese players, easily defeated the British players, and became the first power in military strength.
However, in terms of comprehensive strength, Beichen Kingdom is a bit bad. What is the first marquis country, Xiao Chen didn't mention it at all. I think that back then, I was alone in the world as a marquis. However, looking at the world now, the world has long been wrong.
A scuffle between Chinese players and British players has made many people grow up vigorously. Especially the guy Long Teng Yuye, according to the number of cities he announced on the forum, is as high as 470.
Even Brown, who attacked Xiao Chen's army, didn't know where to get more than 400 cities. Well, in fact, the Sino-British Beacon War officially broke out when the Beichen Army was attacked. It was not until half a month ago that there was a formal truce.
It's not that the two players don't want to fight, it's that they don't have the energy to fight anymore. After such a long war, Beichen Kingdom was almost bankrupt, not to mention other players.
Think about it, the first marquis in the world on the eve of the war, and now it has directly become the sixth marquis. The first is the Xia Kingdom, the second is the Death Kingdom, the third is China, the fourth is the United States, the fifth is the United Kingdom, the sixth is the Beichen Kingdom, the seventh is Germany, the eighth is Russia, the ninth is France, and the tenth is the Japanese Kingdom.
Without saying anything, Xiao Chen saw the name of this big gang of countries, and immediately guessed that the governments of various countries planned to mix in the game. After all, even citizens of any country would not dare to give such a name. I really think that one person can replace the whole country, and it's strange that the rest of the people don't spray you to death.
For the three countries in front of China, the United States and the United Kingdom, Xiao Chen was so angry that he couldn't do it. The country of Xia and the country of death of Brown are also fought with their own strength. I don't have any complaints about being ranked low, but what are you guys!
The ranking of comprehensive strength made Xiao Chen depressed. But fortunately, when he saw that he was ranked first in the military list, the big-mouthed girl grinned again.
On the list of generals, Xiang Yu, the overlord of the dragon and the wild, is still ranked first, and the attributes of the force value and physical strength value of one hundred and one are daunting. The second place is Yue Fei, and the three attributes full of 100 make it difficult for all foreign celebrities to look back. The third place was finally replaced, and he became a super strong dragon. With the same force value of one hundred and ninety-nine strategies, people are still helpless.
It's just that no one knows who this dragon is, only Xiao Chen frowned a few times. Then he scolded: "Grass your sister's Long Teng, Xiang Yu and Long and you all occupy it." ”
Yes, Xiao Chen thought that the dragon must have been taken down by Long Teng Yuye. Because of the existence of Xiang Yu, and Xiang Yu and Long are the relationship between the lord and the brother. According to Yue Fei and Yue Yun Zhang Xian's experience of running together, Xiang Yu and Long He must be together.
Everything in the leaderboard is false, and only after you have played it can you know who is the strongest. This is a sentence that Xiao Chen has always flattered, because the lesson of blood is ahead.
The fact happened, just a month ago. Xiao Chen led a thousand guards to suppress the bandits, and began to set up camp that night, planning to sleep and then suppress the bandits.
Then Xiao Chen went offline to watch the forum, that's right, let's learn to read the forum. After reading the forum, I ate half a bowl of instant noodles, and then Xiao Chen entered the game.
Because instant noodles are not as delicious as the food in the game......
As a result, as soon as Xiao Chen went online, he found himself lying on horseback. What's the situation?
Looking around, there were only more than 500 guards left in the more than 1,000 guards. Just the appearance of these 500 people who have lost their armor one by one is completely like they have suffered defeat.
Back in the city, Xiao Chen asked, it turned out that the barracks were attacked by bandits after he went offline. The bandits began to set several fires, which burned the guards to the point of dizziness. Finally, another guy rushed in, and a bright silver spear stabbed forward and right. The hundreds of guards who were killed lost their armor and abandoned their armor, plus the king fell asleep, and there was no one to command.
Therefore, for the safety of their own king, the guards had no choice but to pull the king and protect the king with all their might. In this way, the battle that was originally guaranteed to be won was beaten like this by Xiao Chen. The next day, Xiao Chen called the old wolf over, and he faced the old wolf for a while. If it weren't for this thing to seduce himself to watch the forum, he would have lost 500 elites?
On the third day, Xiao Chen thought of revenge. Subsequently, the royal guards, who had lost face, immediately dispatched troops, and the 100,000 army surrounded the bandits.
There are only 300 bandits with 300 people. However, it played with a thousand elite guards.
If it weren't for Chen Rui's surrender, Xiao Chen would definitely chop Yue Yun, the commander of the Guards, into dumpling filling.
Chen Rui is the leader of the three hundred bandits. The force value is as high as ninety-six, the physical strength is ninety, and the other two are miserable. But just like that, with three hundred people, he abused the elite of the Beichen Army, and Xiao Chen didn't know what to say.
After that, Chen Rui became the commander of the 5,000 heavy infantry in the Yulin Army with his majestic body and strong martial arts.
Now, Xiao Chen rode a pony and pulled a group of generals and guards to the hoplite battalion.
Chen Rui, commander of the hoplite battalion, was shocked when he heard the report of his soldiers. The king of his own family actually came to him with a group of bigwigs in the army.
Chen Rui hurriedly asked his 5,000 people to put on their foot armor, carry their own Mo knives, and assemble in line. When Chen Rui saw Xiao Chen, his soldiers were still in line.
However, Chen Rui still came to Xiao Chen and the others with his scalp. Chen Rui fixed his eyes and saw that his own king, Yue Fei, the commander of the first royal army, was the generalissimo of the dynasty. Wang Ping, the 2nd Royal Army Commander, Yun Qi, the 3rd Royal Army Commander, Zhang Han, the 4th Royal Army Commander, Zhang Xian, the 5th Royal Army Commander, and Hua Rong, the 6th Royal Army Commander.
There are also Yue Yun, the commander of the Royal Guards, the commander of the Royal Yulin Army, that is, his top boss Du Dazhuang, the commander of the Royal First Cavalry Luo Cheng, the commander of the Royal Second Cavalry Ma Chao, the commander of the Servant Army, Bruce, and the naval marshal Li Ancheng.
When I saw these guys, my thighs and stomachs couldn't help but tremble. Grandma's, these are all bigwigs in the army, and they are all under the command of an army.
Chen Rui swallowed a mouthful of spit, then clasped his fists and saluted: "Chen Rui, commander of the hoplite battalion of the Royal First Army, greets the king and the generals!" ”
"Well, alright, Captain Chen, now please gather your foot soldiers. Let me and the generals see how powerful the Modao Battalion is! ”
Hearing Xiao Chen say this, Chen Rui immediately laughed, this is a good opportunity to show himself. "The last general obeys!"
After speaking, Chen Rui took the lead in walking in front of the hoplites who were lining up.
"Brothers, look behind me, who is it that must be known to everyone. That's right, that's the Great King, the great and wise king of our Beichen Kingdom! ”
As soon as Chen Rui's words fell, the five thousand soldiers of the king in the field immediately howled one by one. After all, this is the Guards, and almost every soldier has remembered what the king looks like. Now seeing the king come to the barracks in person, it is no wonder that thousands of people are not excited.
Xiao Chen looked at the excited soldiers in front of him, and smiled helplessly twice. Then he silently said in his heart: "Promoted, you must be promoted!" Hahahaha...... This feeling is cool! ”
Of course, as the king of a country, Xiao Chen still has to show joy and anger.
Xiao Chen stiffened his face and took a few steps forward. Then he stretched out his right arm and swung it twice, signaling the soldiers not to shout.
In an instant, the vegetable market, which was originally 5,000 people chattering together, finally calmed down.
"Brothers, you are the pride of the Beichen Army and the guardians of the Beichen Kingdom. Without your struggle, there would be no Beichen Kingdom now, and there would be no glory of this king today. Therefore, you are glorious and noble! ”
"However, it is now the autumn of troubled times, and the world is full of heroes. The Beichen Kingdom is not strong yet, not strong enough to intimidate all the heroes! All, we have to work hard, we have to struggle! This king is willing to join you in intimidating the heroes! ”
"Shocking the crowd! Shocking! ”
"I have given you the strongest armor and the sharpest long sword. I hope you can become a strong army of the Beichen Army, a trump card for God to block and kill God, and Buddha to block and slaughter Buddha! ”
Quiet, the audience instantly fell silent......
God block, kill God? Buddha block, slaughter ...... Buddha?
After a few tens of seconds of silence, the field was boiling again!
Chen Rui shouted: "God blocks and kills God, Buddha blocks and slaughters Buddha!" ”
"God blocks and kills God, Buddha blocks and slaughters Buddha! God blocks and kills God, and Buddha blocks and slaughters Buddha! Chen Rui's words completely strengthened the confusion in the heart of the soldiers. I will follow in the footsteps of the king, needless to say!
Xiao Chen smiled, and once again affirmed the concept of promoting Chen Rui in his heart.
"Good, good! I'm so relieved! Now, let this king come and see how fierce the most elite warriors under my command are! ”
"The training ground is like a battlefield, bring out your strongest strength. I hope that what will be shown in front of this king and the generals is a beast of great difficulty! ”
"Roar! Roar! Roar! ”
Subsequently, the hoplite battalion began training unique to hoplites. And the soldiers did their best, showing the strength of a vicissitudes beast.
I saw a wooden dummy, dressed in an iron plate. Then a Beichen sergeant with his whole body wrapped in iron, holding a sharp Mo knife in his hand, came at the dummy.
With just one knife, the wooden man covered in iron plates was directly split in half. At this time, the Canglan Beast exploded with all its strength.
I saw the soldier slash again at the dummy who fell to the ground and broke in half. Until this dummy became, only firewood could be burned. The iron plate on it can only be remelted.
The vicissitudes of the beast deserve to be the vicissitudes of the beast......
