Chapter 241 Territorial Matters (Part 2)
PS: Thank you to book friends for destroying India, Japan, America, South and West, Haoji, Aman for their support! One more chapter.
The Yellow Turban camp players who had previously attacked Dashan Town did not choose Jiangji Wutun Town as the target of attack. To a large extent, they may think that Jiangji Wutun Town is also temporarily occupied by Yang Rui, just like the Han court territory that was recaptured by him. They did not realize that this town had been conquered by Yang Rui and became Yang Rui's veritable second base!
If the more than 30,000 Yellow Turban camp players took Jiangji Wutun Town as their target of attack, Qi Zheng and others would probably not be able to defend! Therefore, when Yang Rui came to Jiangji Wutun Town, he brought all 16 newly transferred junior generals to participate in the defense of Jiangji Wutun Town.
"Welcome the lord to return triumphantly!"
When he learned that Yang Rui came to Jiangji Wutun Town, Qi Zheng, Tian Bao, Zhang Chen, Mo Lin, Chen Li and Chen Ping all came to see the ceremony.
"Thank you all!" Yang Rui replied.
After meeting, Yang Rui first took Qi Zheng and others to check in Jiangji Wutun Town, and then came to the political consultation room.
"Report to the lord, the population in the town has increased a lot in recent times. Although the lord has equated the Yellow Turbans in Yanzhou and the victims from all over the country have been able to return to their hometowns, the famine is still serious at present, so the number of refugees is still large. We follow the lord's instructions and can conquer one or two groups of refugees from time to time.
Even the refugees who were unwilling to surrender at will have no hope of returning to their hometown to make a living, many of them returned, so the population of the town has reached more than 8,500! And it is still growing."
Qi Zheng first reported that Yang Rui had discovered the increase in the population of Jiangji Wutun Town during his previous investigation!
"So good!" Yang Rui nodded.
At the same time, Yang Rui also knew very well that Jiangji Wutun Town also needed to upgrade its territory urgently. Otherwise, the population limit of 10,000 will soon reach, and it will not continue to grow!
However, although Jiangji Wutun Town is already Yang Rui's territory and all the conditions have met the upgrade requirements, the "upgrade" item is always in a dark state. It is unclear why, so it is impossible to improve the territory level for the time being.
Not only Jiangji Wutun Town, but also Xiamo Village, which was first conquered, had already met the upgrade requirements according to the standards, but the "upgrade" option is always dark. It is impossible to upgrade at all! And for a while, Yang Rui could not find the reason, so he could only explore it slowly.
The newly added population of Jiangji Wutun Town has also developed a lot of land, with a quantity of more than 15,000 acres. Although the output is not high due to the drought, the gap for feeding the people is not too large. On the other hand, with the increase in population, other economic buildings such as logging farms and quarries have also been put into operation. Even though it is much smaller than the scale of Dashan Town, it can meet the needs of Jiangji Wutun Town's own construction.
Overall, Jiangji Wutun Town has become regular compared to when it was lacking in the previous lack of people. After Yang Rui left 16 junior generals in the town, he left with confidence.
At the same time, since the thief stronghold in Gaoqiaoji Town is close to Jiangjiwutun, Yang Rui learned about the recent situation of the stronghold from Qi Zheng, so he did not take a detour to investigate. The distance between Mazhuang Qiangren Camp was too far, so Yang Rui took the way straight to Juping County, intending to go to Wenshui Shui Bid Camp to check when he returned to Dashan Town.
These occupied strongholds are currently of great use to Yang Rui. The rebel barracks characteristics can be used to upgrade the soldiers; however, once this system update changes this feature, Yang Rui is not sure whether these strongholds still have value!
Yang Rui quickly arrived at the location of Juping County. After hurriedly purchasing the required architectural drawings, he headed towards "Yipinxiang".
Previously, in order to get the orange mission scroll, Yang Rui signed an agreement with the CU Alliance to supply 2,000 horses within three months. Yang Rui came to "Yipinxiang" to see if the other party has horses to deliver.
During Yang Rui's participation in the [Battle of Guangzong], "Yipinxiang" delivered nearly 500 horses to Dashan Town. In addition, more than 100 horses purchased from the supermarket in the pond, Yang Rui currently has more than 2,000 horses in his hands!
However, if the agreement with the CU Alliance expires and no more horses can be obtained, Yang Rui will be given off to the opponent by the attack and defense! At that time, the 1,500 4th-level cavalry that he now has will become infantry due to the loss of horses, and his combat power will definitely be greatly reduced!
After finding Manager Zhao, the two of them became polite. It was already night, and it was inevitable that Yang Rui was invited to exchange cups with Manager Zhao. The most talked about the horses during the meal was the matter. As Yang Rui expected, it would be difficult for "Yipinxiang" to deliver more horses in a short period of time. However, Manager Zhao still promised to urge him more to try his best to meet Yang Rui's needs.
However, it is really difficult to supply 2,000 horses in three months, so shopkeeper Zhao also made it clear. Yang Rui could only think of other ways. Fortunately, he had a supermarket and could buy horses all over the world. When Yang Rui was in Jizhou, he met two horse sellers and signed a horse supply agreement with him, supplying 500 horses to Yang Rui every month. But I don’t know if the other party can do it!
Before the day was completely dawn the next day, Yang Rui got up early and drove his horse to the location of the Wenshui Pirate Camp. He rode his horse all the way. Yang Rui spent more than an hour to arrive at the Wenshui Wenyang Pirate Camp.
The Wenyang Water Pirate Camp is located in the upper reaches of the Wenshui River. It has a good strategic position and can also be promoted to the level of sailors and soldiers. Therefore, it is also one of the few strongholds that Yang Rui values the most and is one of the few strongholds to be stationed!
There is another place in Mazhuang Strongman Camp, which is what Yang Rui needs to upgrade the archers, so a small number of soldiers were also stationed. Since Mazhuang Strongman Camp is located in the most remote place, few players or NPCs usually go to the event. It is enough to just need a small number of soldiers to garrison.
Wenyang Water Pirate Camp was far away from the shore, so Yang Rui just stopped from afar and checked. After confirming that there was nothing abnormal, he went to Xiaohui's Shuiyuan Village.
Another purpose of Yang Rui's visit to Wenshui is Shuiyuan Village. First, he was to visit Xiaohui, especially to check his basic internal skills and mental practice. In addition, Yang Rui also placed a large number of Yellow Turban families here, and he also wanted to see what kind of state these Yellow Turban families were after the main body of the Yellow Turban Rebellion ended.
Unexpectedly, Xiaohui was not in the territory. Yang Rui was also blocked by the leaders of Shuiyuan Village and could not enter it at all. Although the current Shuiyuan Village no longer shows the state of opposing camps, it was because it had not been recognized by the lords, and Yang Rui could not enter it. Yang Rui only saw from a distance that there were a large number of leaders of Shuiyuan Village with yellow names. I think it should be the Yellow Turban family brought by Yang Rui before.
Yang Rui did not waste much time here, and the system will be updated in three or four game days. If you ask Xiaohui offline, please do it! As a result, Yang Rui rushed back to Dashan Town again without stopping.
Before noon was yet to return to Dashan Town, Yang Rui handed over all the architectural drawings needed for the upgrade to Wang Hai, and asked him to organize the leaders to upgrade the buildings. At the same time, Yang Rui also handed over the special building that was replaced from the "Dragon Soul" - the Dragon King Temple drawings to Wang Hai, and asked him to organize the leaders to carry out construction at the same time.
Yang Rui selected 52 third-level archers who met the conditions to level 4. He also sent Li Dong and Sun Bao to lead these archers to Mazhuang Qiangren Camp and used the rebel camps to continue to upgrade.
After that, Yang Rui upgraded all the third-level infantry to level 4 infantry by using the rebel camp, and also selected more than 200 soldiers from the second-level soldiers who were expected to level 3 in a short period of time, and handed them over to nearly 30 junior generals in Dashan Town to lead them to level up, so that these soldiers can level 3 within two or three days. Then seize the last opportunity to use the rebel camp to level 4!
After an afternoon of busy work, Yang Rui found that he had 94 rank 5 soldiers under his command. Among them, 42 rank thieves were 52 rank archers, 52 rank archers; more than 4,100 soldiers, including more than 4 cavalry, and more than 2,000 infantry of all rank 4 types; because all rank 3 soldiers were promoted, there were no rank 2,300 soldiers; and nearly 2,100 militias in the first rank, and the total number of soldiers exceeded 8,600, accounting for nearly one-third of the total number of people in charge!
This is also the result of Yang Rui's efforts to develop military strength in order to make full use of the attributes of the rebel barracks. Even so, Yang Rui is still a little regretful. If he can have the current net worth of nearly 400,000 gold coins as soon as possible and with the food and clothing guaranteed, Yang Rui can also let go and develop some soldiers!
Moreover, more than 8,600 soldiers seem to be a big number, but in fact, the first and second-level soldiers among them have not met Yang Rui's original intention of developing military strength. When the 2nd and 3rd-level skill books are sufficient, these soldiers do not have the value of using the rebel camp. Otherwise, they will be resurrected and "whitewashing" the mission points consumed by these soldiers will be completely wasteful!
After a busy afternoon, Yang Rui finally had time to stop and take a break. He just remembered to check the items that had exploded by Zhang Jiao. At that time, Yang Rui was only excited when he picked up these items, and did not have time to check them carefully. Now he was shocked immediately after seeing them!
