On December 20, the fourth year of Gaia, the Bactrian court issued a series of official appointments.

The siege lion was appointed as the governor of Jiangchuan, and was responsible for the preparation of the yamen of the governor of Jiangchuan Province in the Black Lion City. Of the remaining eleven lords, four were transferred to the county guards, and seven were transferred to the prefects, all of which of course served in other provinces.

He was appointed as a scholar of the Senior Cabinet by Fu Zhi, who was born in Black Lion City, and became the fifth top advisor of the Senior Cabinet, adding to the last seat. With such a lineup, Ouyang Shuo is no longer so eager for Guo Jia, a strategist who has never surfaced.

The troops of Jiangchuan Province will also be streamlined and reorganized, and the relatively stable environment has not allowed the armies of the twelve territories of the province to be tempered much, and the overall quality is not even comparable to that of the Great Xia garrison.

Ouyang Shuo ordered the Privy Council to follow the previous model of dismantling the local garrison force, cut half of the territorial army, and disperse into the provinces. In addition to the 20,000 troops transferred to the Oakland Corps, the remaining troops were reorganized into two field corps.

In addition to the Praetorian Guard, the existing group army numbers have been fully established, so Ouyang Shuo simply activated a new group army number-Flying Bear Army.

Chen Tang was appointed as the commander of the First Army of the Flying Bear Army, and Pei Xingyan was appointed as the commander of the First Division.

[Name]: Chen Tang (King level)

[Dynasty]: Western Han Dynasty

[Identity]: Commander of the First Legion of the Great Xia Flying Bear Army

[Profession]: Senior general

[Loyalty]: 80 points

[Commander]: 78 [Force]: 70 [Intelligence]: 55 [Politics]: 55

[Perk]: Surprise Attack (Increases unit attack by 10%, increases marching speed by 25%)

[Evaluation]: Hou Chen Tang in Guannei is a brave person, with big concerns, multiple strategies, and joyful achievements. Before the Zhizhi branch, the powerful hundred barbarians, Wu Chang Xihai, since the Han and Yuan dynasties, the generals who conquered the outside of the party, there is no taste.

Chen Tang's former lord was the spark of the lord of Qingyun City in Jiangchuan Province, and he cooperated with the [Shanhai Alliance] in the first two battles, thus forming a good fate.

In Jiangchuan Province, Spark is regarded as the Austrian aid of the siege lion, and the two jointly control the general trend of Jiangchuan Province, so that it is always under the control of Great Xia. In this merger, Spark was appointed as the county guard, which is a good thing.

Bae In-gi was appointed commander of the Second Army of the Flying Bear Army.

Pei Renji has already informed Shanhaiwei of Li Mi's whereabouts, and just yesterday, Yingwei sent a team to Li Mi's hiding place to quietly arrest him, and I believe that there will be a result soon.

In this way, Pei Renji also won Ouyang Shuo's trust and was entrusted with important tasks.

According to the plan, after the completion of this round of army streamlining and reorganization, the Flying Bear Army will be stationed at the junction of Jiangchuan Province and Southern Anhui Province, and will be specifically responsible for monitoring Southern Anhui Province.

[Yanhuang League] was also busy receiving southern Anhui Province at this time, and the strange thing is that according to the intelligence detected by Shanhaiwei, whether it was the previous military operation or the post-war reception work, it was dominated by Emperor Chen.

Perhaps, the [Yanhuang League] is also experiencing a drastic change within it.

…………

After the appointment was announced, Great Xia took over Jiangchuan Province in an orderly manner, and there was no other action, which disappointed the "spectators" and quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

In the blink of an eye, five years of Gaia have quietly arrived.

On December 30, a system announcement resounded around the world.

"World Announcement: On the occasion of the fourth anniversary of the operation of "Earth Online", the game will be updated for the fifth time, effective immediately, and players can log in to the official website to view the specific content."

As soon as the announcement came out, Ouyang Shuo immediately logged in to the official website to view the update.

[1] The build is 100% real.

As the population of the wilderness continues to grow and the population density reaches a medium level, Gaia completely abolishes the lord benefit, whether it is the construction of buildings or the manufacture of weapons and equipment, all of which remove the speed bonus.

The game world takes as long as it takes in reality, and the construction of a Z1 battleship, for example, was only a one-month construction cycle, but now it has been postponed to four months.

In this way, not only the manufacturing efficiency is greatly reduced, but also the manufacturing cost is greatly increased. Since then, Gaia has put forward higher requirements for the refined management level of the territory.

Whoever can do a good job in fine management will be able to stand out.

[2] Introducing a natural disaster system.

In ancient agrarian societies, food production was closely related to climate. Natural disasters such as droughts, floods, and insect infestations can all reduce farmland yields or even eliminate crops.

Basically, the imperial court has to provide disaster relief every year, but the degree of disaster is different, and even some natural disasters directly become the fuse of the peasant uprising, leading the dynasty into a situation of no return.

Disaster relief has always been an unbearable pain for the dynasty.

Although there is also a weather system in the game, before that, Gaia is obviously extremely "tolerant" of the wilderness, not to mention a good harvest all year round, at least there will be no major disasters, and the basic harvest is guaranteed.

A dynasty as strong as Great Xia has never had disaster relief.

From the beginning of the fifth year of Gaia, everything will be different. Local granaries will have to store enough food to meet the needs of disaster years. Once a natural disaster strikes, the imperial court also has to allocate a large amount of gold coins for disaster relief.

Perhaps from this moment on, all the lords will have to pray that the wind and rain will be good.

[3] Comprehensively improve NPC intelligence.

This update is mainly aimed at thousands of ordinary NPCs, and before that, the people of the territory were basically good people, easy to manage, diligent, hardworking, like a herd of docile sheep.

After that, things will be very different.

There are good people among the people, and there are also bad people; There are those who are industrious and simple, and there are those who are idle; There are law-abiding and law-abiding thugs.

Officials and sergeants will also become more complicated, and they will also have selfish thoughts.

The entire officialdom ecology will be several times more complicated, or even more than ten times more complicated than before.

All in all, like the previous two updates, they all put forward higher requirements for the refined management of the territory.

Of course, there are disadvantages and advantages, after the NPC intelligence is improved, the qualifications of grassroots officials and officers will also be improved, as long as the training is appropriate, it can promote the level of government affairs and the quality of the army.

The effect depends on whether the territorial system is sound.

In this regard, Ouyang Shuo is full of confidence, since the village level, Ouyang Shuo has attached great importance to the construction of the system, and today, the system of the entire Great Xia Dynasty has been very sound, up and down orderly.

[4] Further increase the speed of marching.

After the update, the standard marching speed will be increased to the level of a post station, which means that the detrimental effect of enlarged maps on marching will be completely eliminated.

With the blessing of [Trait], some units can even march faster than the ancient level. This update has largely cleared the geographical barriers for the expansion of the game's dynasty territory.

[5] Opened the meritorious mission system.

In addition to the existing task system, a new merit task system has been added, and lords can receive special merit tasks, quickly increase merit points, promote titles, and clear obstacles for territory promotion.

Seeing this, Ouyang Shuo's eyes froze.

It's not that Ouyang Shuo is narcissistic, he always feels that Gaia's launch of this update is aimed at his merit value far exceeding that of other lords.

Gaia can't break the rules and weaken Ouyang Shuo's merit points, but he can help the rest of the lords quickly increase his merit points through merit tasks and close the gap with Ouyang Shuo.

"Am I so hated?" Ouyang Shuo was quite speechless.

[6] Open a higher level of knighthood and prestige.

If the last update is still vague, then this update is 100% caused by Ouyang Shuo. Whether it is knighthood or prestige, Ouyang Shuo has reached the top in Gaia for four years.

Gaia won't take this opportunity to update again, but it will be embarrassing.

The first is the title, the [Heavenly Viscount] is set up above the king, and the merit value requirement is five million points, which is three million points higher than the king, spanning a large level.

Then there is prestige, and the [Glorious Kyushu] is set up on top of [Fame], and the reputation value requirement is also five million points, which is four million points higher than [Fame].

Gaia is ruthless enough this time, and she deliberately makes it impossible for people to reach the top reputation.

Ouyang Shuo took a look, his current merit value is 2.26 million points, and his reputation value is 2.65 million points, which is still a big gap from the next level, so there is no need to think about it in a short time.

[7] Open the global alliance system.

Alliances between lieges will no longer be limited to one country, but can be formed globally.

Gaia's move aims to promote a global alliance and confrontation, and put the territory that has survived rounds of brutal competition into a higher and broader platform to participate in the competition.

There is no strongest, only stronger.

A new round of lordship battle is about to begin.

[8] Give greater autonomy to the royal city.

First of all, regardless of whether there is an emperor or not, the county where the royal city is located will be an absolute forbidden area, and it is forbidden for the territorial army to set foot in it, otherwise it will be regarded as a provocation to the royal city, and a big war may be detonated every minute.

Secondly, Gaia gave greater autonomy to the royal city where the emperor was stationed, and wherever there was an unclaimed land in the province where the royal city was located, the royal city could be occupied by troops and included in the territory of the dynasty.

Ouyang Shuo's first reaction when he saw this update was the Central Plains Province.

In the entire Chinese region, only the Central Plains Province is a borderless place, but the Luoyang Dynasty has Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty settled. With the style of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, I am afraid that he will not turn a blind eye to the fat on his lips.

Emperor Chen and the others are afraid that they will even regret their intestines, if the target they chose to attack was not the southern Anhui province, but the Central Plains province, I am afraid that there would be nothing to do with Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

Then again, if the [Yanhuang League] took the lead in taking the Central Plains Province, then after the annexation of Jiangchuan Province in Great Xia, it would be impossible for the [Yanhuang League] to take the Southern Anhui Province.

A drink and a peck, all have a fixed number.

Thinking a little further, after the path of the Central Plains Province was suddenly cut off, the [Yanhuang Alliance] would definitely target Western Chu, and they had no choice.

This time, Xiang Yu was afraid that he would be able to bear it.

Ludong Province does not border Great Xia, and even if Ouyang Shuo wants to rescue, he is afraid that he will be powerless. Moreover, with Xiang Yu's temperament, whether he can accept the rescue of Great Xia is still two words.

It's almost a dead knot.
