Online Game Bandit Empire

That night, Li Tianlong met with Duan Qili, the commander of the Xianbei Ranger, and Huan Bao, the commander of the Karasuma Iron Cavalry.

In the army, despite the Xianbei Rangers, the Karasuma Iron Cavalry was much stronger than most of the untrained Han cavalry of the same rank. However, the Hu army in the Han army has always been treated as a vassal army, and the equipment of the army is mostly the inferior goods left over by the Han army, and the salary of the soldiers and generals is one level lower than that of the Han people of the same level. Moreover, when fighting, the Hu army was often placed in the most dangerous places.

Speaking of which, these Hu generals in the Han army are also quite pitiful, fighting and charging in the front, but the distribution of war gifts is often not good for them. Looking at the equipment of Duan Qili and Huan Leopard, you can know that the two of them are wearing nothing more than the captain's iron armor issued by the army, while the other captains are not wearing glittering best armor and best weapons.

Although the Hu generals were resentful, they were helpless. Most of the tribes from which these Hu generals came from were tribes that were defeated in the battle for supremacy in the grasslands, and the tribes had already moved to the interior by the time of their parents, grandparents, and even grandparents. They were despised by their Han Chinese colleagues in the army, and their fellow tribes on the prairie were even more hostile to these tribes that bowed down to the Han Chinese. These Hu generals who survived in the cracks could only struggle to survive in the Han army.

"Captain Duan, Captain Huan, both of them are talents in the army. This official doesn't talk nonsense, from today onwards, the two captains, including your 100,000 subordinates, all of them will be paid the same amount of money as the soldiers of the Han army. Li Tianlong said with a generous look.

"My lord, but according to the rules of the imperial court, our Hu people's salaries have always been lower?" Although Duan Qili and Huan Leopard were happy that Li Tianlong appreciated him, they were afraid that Li Tianlong was talking empty words and would not be able to honor it.

"This rule is no longer appropriate. Everyone in the world is a mother, and they are equal. The combat effectiveness of the two armies is not inferior to others, why should they be so few. Although this official is only a governor of the country, and cannot persuade His Majesty the Son of Heaven to change the status quo of your Hu people, but within the jurisdiction of this official, this official can definitely treat everyone equally. The official has a little savings, and the little silver you have, the official will provide you with his own personal supply. "The salary of the average soldier in the army in the game is not very high. In addition to ensuring that everyone is fed, it is only a few pennies a day. The shortage of private subsidies for 100,000 troops is only a few thousand yuan a month, which is a drop in the bucket for Li Tianlong.

"My lord, what's going on... Duan Qili Huanbao didn't expect that this newcomer Han Changshi would actually be willing to use his private money to subsidize the salary of their Hu army. This is something that was never thought of. The Han generals stopped exploiting them, and they were thankful. Li Tianlong's words were completely unexpected to them.

"Do you look down on this official?" Li Tianlong said pretending to be angry.

"The subordinates don't dare. "

Come, here are two sets of top-grade armor wolf tooth kai, two thousand taels of silver, you take it, so that you can make up for your family." Li Tianlong had already inquired clearly, these two Hu generals were very righteous, and they gave a lot of salaries to help the poor people in the clan, and their families were not very rich.

"Don't worry, this official has always been a meritocracy, as long as you follow this official and work hard, you will definitely be promoted and made rich when the time comes. Li Tianlong said. Everyone is a smart person, and there is no need to beat around the bush.

"Don't worry, my lord, we will serve our lives. Duan Qili and Huan Leopard are not stupid, and they immediately expressed their loyalty. Anyway, it's all hard work, why not work hard for people who appreciate themselves and are generous and bold.

"System Prompt: Due to your appreciation and heavy rewards, your subordinates have prayed for Duan, and Huan Leopard's loyalty to you has increased by 5 points, and it is now 75.".

Sure enough, it worked, and it cost thousands of dollars. Hehe, I guess these two guys haven't completely put their minds at ease yet. In the future, their soldiers will receive our repaid salaries every month, and they are not afraid that the loyalty of these guys will not rise to 80, and they are not afraid that these 100,000 Hu cavalry will not be loyal to us.

。。。。。。

The next day, according to Li Tianlong's arrangement, 10,000 soldiers from each branch of the million-strong army in Changli City were sent to the martial arts arena to watch the martial arts competition.

At noon, the jousting began. The three-way drum sounded, and the barracks martial arts exercise ground suddenly became silent, and hundreds of thousands of troops watched intently at the center of the martial arts exercise ground.

Gongsun Xu, a jade-faced young man, wearing a white dragon helmet, wearing silver dragon armor, holding an iron point steel gun, his aura is lofty, and he has the spirit of a young hero.

Zhang Ren, with a mighty face, wears a top-quality four-cold iron helmet, wears a top-quality chain black iron armor, and holds the same iron point steel gun, which is very powerful.

Although they were competing for the position of commander of the heavy spear iron cavalry, neither of them rode horses. The heads-up of two earth-level generals and the horse battle can only waste the lives of two superb war horses in vain.

There are good people in the army who started the gambling game early, and everyone is unanimously optimistic about Gongsun Xu. Gongsun Xu's winning rate is 1:1, and Zhang Ren's is 1:4.

During Gongsun Zhan's tenure as the governor of Liaodong, Gongsun Xu led the troops to the Hu tribe for a long time, and his prestige was well-known in the Liaodong subject country, known as the "White Horse Prince".

Although Zhang Ren has the background of the second disciple of Tong Yuan, the first grandmaster in the world, after all, his reputation is not obvious. In the past, he taught apprentices in the small martial arts hall in the capital, and after following Li Tianlong, he led the troops in the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army to raid Buji, which was the only big thing he did. But as a result, Zhao Yu took advantage of it and shot Bu Ji in the air, and it was Zhao Yu who became famous all over the world; Zhang Ren's reputation was only circulated among a few players in Qingzhou, and outsiders did not know his deeds.

In the army, what is needed is real ability, not by fame. Compared with the two, Gongsun Xu's victory was more convincing to these soldiers. Many soldiers took out their salaries and bet on Gongsun to continue to win, while Li Tianlong joined in the fun and bet 100,000 silver to buy Zhang Renying. The white flower "Silver Mountain" poured out of the storage backpack made the guy who opened the gambling game happy, thinking that he was going to make a fortune. However, Li Tianlong is not afraid that this guy will not accompany him, the gambling game is the captain Zhao Fan, and it is said that this guy has collected a lot of silver.

"My lord, are you really sure?" Duan Qili and Huan Leopard asked in a low voice. After last night's heart-to-heart exchange, the two have a good impression of this trusting long history.

"Don't worry, I'll pay if I lose. Li Tianlong said.

"Hey, I believe in your lordship. With Li Tianlong's guarantee, the two also pooled 5,000 taels of silver to bet on Zhang Renying. Anyway, someone pays for it, what are you afraid of. If you win, you make a big profit.

"Please

" "Please"

The two people in the martial arts arena each hugged their fists, each took three steps back, and the tip of the spear swept up obliquely.

"Kill", the two swift figures were immediately entangled. Gongsun continued to have white armor and white helmets, and his internal qi was also milky white, while Zhang Ren was jet black, and his gun was also sharp black.

According to Li Tianlong's instructions, it is necessary to display its strength to the greatest extent and establish its own image in the army. As soon as Zhang launched it, he connected several big moves, and the black spears in the sky shrouded Gongsun to death.

Zhang Ren fought the battlefield in Qingzhou for several months, and later concentrated on cultivation in Taoyuan City, and his level had risen by one level, and his force value had increased from 87 to 89, only one step away from the Heavenly Rank. Compared with the time when Luoyang and Zhao Yu competed in the past, the force was on the rise, and the guns emitted were very capable of resisting.

Gongsun Xu is the son of Gongsun Zhan in the end, and his strength as a ground-level military general is not something to be underestimated. Swinging left and right, Zhang Ren's spears were all blocked by him.

The master knew the depth as soon as he tried it, and after a few moves, Gongsun Xu already knew that the big man in front of him was not in vain, and the origin of the first master and the second disciple of the world's first grandmaster was not for nothing. The contest was far less relaxed than he had imagined. The newborn calf was not afraid of the tiger, Gongsun continued to take a deep breath, clenched the iron spear, did not retreat but advanced, kicked the ground, like a flying horse stepping on the ground, and rushed towards Zhang Ren, several feet long white spear, exuding a forest chill.

"Well done. Zhang Ren shouted, stood still, and the iron spear poured the internal qi of the whole body, facing the opponent's spear head. Before the war, Li Tianlong specially instructed that he should quickly defeat Gongsun Xu, but also try to be careful not to hurt him. After all, Li Tianlong doesn't want to fall out with Gongsun Chan for the time being, and it's not time yet.

"Boom", the black and white guns collided together, making an earth-shattering sound. Gongsun Xu's intuition was like a sledgehammer hammer in his chest, and the huge force made him involuntarily take ten steps back before he stabilized his body. Zhang Ren just took a small half step back, and the strength of the two sides can be seen.

"Come again. Gongsun continued to pounce on his opponent with a spear. It's just that Zhang Ren is far deeper than him. Compared with the subtlety of marksmanship, the subtlety of "Hundred Birds and Phoenix Gun" is far better than "Gongsun Marksmanship". Gongsun Xu's defeat is only a matter of time.

Li Tianlong, who was sitting on the stage, looked at Zhao Fan, the captain next to him, and saw that this guy was full of gray and depressed. Hehe, who told you that your loyalty is so low, and you have a close connection with Gongsun Xuwangmen, you have been regarded as a target by Li Tianlong. 100,000 yuan, the odds of 1:4 are that this guy not only has to return our 100,000 taels of silver, but also has to take out 300,000 taels by himself, and now he is losing money.

Looking at the other generals, their faces also changed suddenly, obviously they didn't expect that there would be such a fierce general in the hands of the newcomer Changshi.

On the field, the competition is still going on. In order to show his strength, Zhang Ren did not use any tricks, the moves were all hard-hitting, black and white guns constantly collided, the sound of "boom" and "boom" kept coming, and the gravel flew on the martial arts field. Let the sergeants on the field enjoy watching it very much. Only Gongsun Xu on the field was very depressed.

With a "boom", Gongsun Xu staggered back more than ten steps, and a trace of blood overflowed from the corner of his mouth.

"If you don't fight, my little brother will lose. Gongsun continued to say dryly. After dozens of rounds of fighting, Gongsun Xu already understood that the opponent's strength was far above him, and it was impossible to win, so it was better to admit defeat quickly.

"Haha, I really won, now it's time to send it. Let's go get the money. Duan Qili and Huan Leopard were very happy, grandma's, finally sent a handful.

"Bring me my money too. Li Tianlong shouted.

"Yes, sir. The two of them went happily.

Next is Wang Men vs. Zhao Yu, just like the last game, there were no accidents, Zhao Yu won easily and won the position of 50,000 ranger commanders.

I have seen the strength of the two, but there are no other soldiers or generals who come to the stage to challenge. This made Li Tianlong, who originally thought that he might be able to find a few buried talents, a little disappointed.

200,000 heavy spear iron cavalry, including 50,000 elite heavy spear iron cavalry, 50,000 rangers, and 10,000 elite rangers, were successfully mastered by Li Tianlong.

"The whole army was ordered to change the salary to one every ten years, but those who deducted and filled their pockets were killed. "If you put it in the barracks, there is no interest, and if you send it out early, you can buy the hearts of the army. There are three points to control a place: one is the army, the second is financial resources, and the third is the people's support.

The army, whenever the army is the most important. If you can't control a strong army, no matter how big you are, no matter how much territory you have, it will be empty. There is a big man who said the truth, "power comes out of the barrel of a gun", whether it is a time of peace, or a period of war, the army is the most important, the army is the foundation of the Liaodong vassal country million army, Li Tianlong successfully put 200,000 heavy guns and iron cavalry, 50,000 rangers into his control. Under Li Tianlong's deliberate wooing and wanton improvement of the treatment of the Hu army, after a month, the loyalty of Duan Qili and Huan Bao, the two Hu generals, increased from 70 to 79, and it was only a matter of time before they increased to more than 80. 50,000 Xianbei Rangers, 50,000 Karasuma Iron Riders will be loyal to themselves.

Shi Dang, Ji Yong, Zhao Song, and Li Tianlong have also given valuable gifts many times, and they have made friends with all their might. Loyalty has also increased to 74,75. I believe that as long as you work harder and treat them sincerely, you will definitely be able to gain their loyalty.

Gongsun Xu, Wang Men, Zhao Fan, and Li Tianlong have also been invited to banquets many times, although the personal relationship has increased, but the degree of loyalty has not increased a little, which makes Li Tianlong regard the three as pawns planted by Gongsun Chan in advance, trying to control the guys of Liaodong's vassal country. Li Tianlong was courteous to the three of them on the surface, but secretly instructed Zhang Ren to be careful with them and monitor them closely. Just in case these guys woo other generals.

Although on the surface, Li Tianlong and Gongsun Chan have a good relationship, but Gongsun Chan is quite ambitious, and Li Tianlong has to be careful to beware of this guy secretly stumbling and pulling himself off the horse. Gongsun Chan has been promoted to Zhuojun Taishou (I don't know what means Gongsun Chan used to drive down the original Zhuojun Taishou Wenshu, and he was promoted to Zhuojun Taishou), in charge of Liangxiang and Fangcheng counties; although it is far from reaching the status of the overlord of Youzhou in its history, it is still in charge of the land of the two counties, and the county is actually sealed by the imperial court; with his skills, there are still many people who are optimistic about its development prospects.

In terms of financial resources, because Liaodong is dominated by Hu people, commercial trade is mostly bartered, and more Hu cavalry is flowing and plundering, and domestic commerce is very depressed. The monthly taxes, coupled with the financial appropriations of the imperial court, are just enough, and if you want to expand the army on a large scale, or fill your own pockets to make oil and water, it is not possible for the time being.

If you want to develop commerce, the most feasible thing is to trade with the Hu tribes in the steppe. However, Yangle City, the seat of Liaoxi County, is only two hundred miles away from Changli City, and Yangle City is connected with the prairie by an official road, which is the place where the imperial court is licensed to exchange markets with the Hu people. The caravans of the Hu people on the grassland were all trading in Yangle City. Changli City did not have the right to exchange markets with the Hu people outside the Saiwai, and could only trade with the Hu tribes in the territory. This article is clearly not feasible.

Thinking about it, Li Tianlong didn't have any good ideas, so he had to give up. However, Li Tianlong built the "Yunlong Supermarket" in the most prosperous area of Changli City very quickly, and built a large restaurant and a large teahouse. As the owner of the city, it is not a problem to grab some good territory.

People's hearts, including the hearts of the army and the people. The heart of the army, Li Tianlong's simple salary was distributed every ten years, and he won the favor of a large number of soldiers for himself.

People's hearts, as players, there are many ways. First of all, reduce or exempt an appropriate amount of exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes. Second, a large number of soldiers were arranged to go out into the streets to maintain law and order. Third, a large number of cavalry were sent to patrol around Changli City to crack down on the wandering bandits. Fourth, tens of thousands of soldiers are sent every day to help the people in the city cultivate farmland, build and repair houses, etc. Fifth, we will set up porridge shacks and distribute relief food to help refugees and poor families. Sixth, improve the treatment of Hu people in the city, and treat them equally. Seventh......

After three times and two clicks, after a month, the people of Changli City knew that they had a good history and praised Li Tianlong. Naturally, the people's will will rise and rise. However, all measures were limited to Changli City, and the other five Huren counties, as long as the taxes were paid on time every month, Li Tianlong would follow those tribal patriarchs to govern by himself.

Of course, these alone are not enough, we have to do something big, a sensational thing, so that the military and people of Liaodong vassal countries can see their own ability, in order to truly conquer the hearts of millions of soldiers and civilians.

In order to cope with the future war and prevent accidents, Li Tianlong also asked Shidang to train 400,000 beginner soldiers within half a year, all of which were crossbow soldiers, and the nature of the troops was Tuntian soldiers. They train in the time of farming, farm and live in the field in peacetime, and gather together in wartime to assist in the defense of the city and not go on the expedition.

The people of Liaodong are fierce, all of them are in good health, and it is not difficult to select 400,000 qualified crossbowmen. Moreover, most of the people in the city are Han Chinese, who are often plundered by the Hu people, and they are very enthusiastic about training themselves and taking weapons to defend their homes. Since it was only a slack training, it did not delay the people's usual production, and only during the battle did they gather to pick up bows and crossbows to assist in the defense of the city wall. Therefore, the salary of these soldiers is also very low, 1 wen per day, and only when it is time to defend the city in battle, will they be paid according to the salary of full-time soldiers.

Training, there are millions of high-level troops in Changli City, and there are tens of thousands of generals at all levels, and it is easy to train junior troops.

400,000 short bows and light crossbows, Li Tianlong took a pen job for the bow and crossbow courtyard in Taoyuan City. Fertilizer and water will not be left in the fields of outsiders, although they are all beginner-level equipment, the price is cheap, but it is better than the quantity.

After coming to Liaodong for nearly two months, everything was stable, and it was the end of August in a blink of an eye. Everything is carried out in an orderly manner, the millions of troops are training hard under the leadership of NPC generals, the beginner crossbowmen are also steadily recruiting and training, the morale of the army and the people are steadily rising, and the business of the Yunlong Restaurant and the big teahouse that opened is also not bad.

The war in Xiliang was still hot, and Bian Zhang Han then conquered another county town, and the imperial court soldiers and horses were defeated and retreated. Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty used Jizhou Assassin Shi Huangfu Song to lead troops to quell the rebellion, Huangfu Song was a cow in the end, and the battle situation was in a stalemate. However, players all know that Huangfu Song can only stay in Xiliang for a few months, and Huangfu Song, who has offended the ten permanent servants, will soon be removed by Zhang Rang Zhao Zhong, the leader of the ten permanent servants, on the grounds of "fighting in vain and costing money and food", and replaced him with a talented Sikong Zhang Wen.

In general, except for the war in Xiliang, other places are quite peaceful except for the banditry. However, this is only a superficial calm, and all forces are secretly stepping up their military expansion, accumulating food and grass, and preparing for the future struggle for hegemony.

"The army of millions cannot be idle, it has to be pulled out and moved. Li Tianlong walked around the Changshi Mansion and decided to find something to do for his army. The first is to train the army, and the second is to make a name for yourself. Now is not the time to develop incognito, you have to be famous to be an official, and every famous person can't be an official.

To fight the Hu people, the million troops in Changli City are more than defended, but if you want to take the initiative to attack the Hu tribe on the prairie, it is still not enough. The development of the Hu people on the grassland is also quite rapid, and many tribes of millions of people have appeared. Don't look at the Hu tribes fighting each other to fight for territory, but if Li Tianlong drives the army into the prairie, all the Hu army will gather together to kill Li Tianlong first. At most, you can only lead some cavalry to raid and rob the small tribe of the Hu people at night, and you can't play your own banner. Otherwise, if you set yourself on fire and provoke the siege of the Hu people, it will be a big loss.

Suppressing bandits, Zhao Yu and Yujian led 50,000 rangers, and Duan Qili led 50,000 Xianbei rangers, patrolling around the territory of Liaodong subjects day and night, and a large number of wandering Hu and Han cavalry bandits have been exterminated, and the security in the territory has been much better recently.

The little bandits have nothing to say, they don't have a sensational effect, they can't make a reputation, they have to get something big. It is said that on the Wuxian Mountain in the northeast of Changli City, there is the largest bandit leader Su Fufeng of the Liaodong subject country, with no less than 200,000 horses under his command, and it is the most powerful cottage of the Liaodong subject country.

Grandma's, just beat him. Gongsun Chan didn't succeed in winning this guy at the beginning, let's take it down, make a good reputation, and suppress Gongsun Chan's fame in this place. It should also be for the people, in addition to a great evil.

"Xiao Shi, take a few people to reconnoiter Wuxian Mountain from the air. "

Yes, sir. "

Be careful and safe"

In order to facilitate Zhao Yu and Jade Arrow and others to suppress bandits, Li Tianlong asked Taoyuan City to send 50 Great Vulture Knights to Changli City a month ago.
