Chapter 342 New Journey

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

Having said that, it's enough for the group of bosses under Shang Ji's command not to cause trouble in the wedding preparations, let alone help.

The army should be trained, the bandits should be exterminated, and even Deng Yan's government affairs have not been let go, 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 Liaodong military plan.

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

The 70,000 Longyou Legion was picked out alone, as the absolute main force led by Shang Ji. To put it bluntly, even if the same number of Luoyang Forbidden Army were brought over to set up a big battle, the lowest level of the sixth-rank special arms army might not necessarily lose the Longyou Army!

Except for the Longyou Legion, the standard of the remaining 400,000 troops has been raised by half a level again, requiring at least half of all ministries to reach the fifth level of strength.

This requirement is actually not high. Soldiers who have passed the training of the giant barracks have a high chance of directly advancing to Tier 4 soldiers. And Shang Ji's own attribute title bonus and various special building bonus effects in Xiangping City are superimposed on each other, and the success rate of transforming Tier 4 soldiers is almost 90%.

If it is a barracks that combines Yan Zhiyi Wu, the effect will be even greater, and the potential of the soldiers will be greater.

Shang Ji has already decided that the barracks integrated with Yan Zhiyi will not stop recruiting soldiers, and the other three giant barracks will not be activated until the emergency, so as to ensure that the army's combat power can be maximized.

In fact, there were three Yanzhi Yiwu that were exchanged at the beginning, but now Shang Ji only used one, and there are two more available.

But Shangji did not have all the integration of one brain.

Yan Zhiyi Wu has a characteristic, once fused, it cannot be dismantled and transferred.

And Liaodong is only a corner of the entire Yandi, and Shang Ji cannot always be limited to the development of Liaodong. There is no doubt that the next strategic focus of the Shang Ji Army is how to put the entire Youzhou under 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 vassal state, Xuantu, and Lelang; with Youbeiping County as the core, it includes the central part of Liaoxi and Yuyang, and the rest is the western region with Guangyang County as the core.

At the same time, these three core counties will also be used as the center to build a northern defense network to resist foreign aggression or as a base for active attacks.

In this way, concentrating Yan's Yiwu in one place will greatly waste its own value. Therefore, Shang Ji would rather bear with it for the time being than recklessly use Yan Zhiyi Wu all at once.

If the situation permits in the future, Shang Ji will gradually form and eliminate non-Yan Zhiyi warriors, and the war army will be composed of soldiers from Yan Zhiyi Wu.

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

Once a large-scale battle occurs, all barracks will be fully fired, and overtime training will not be able to meet the consumption of the front line.

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

The seven military generals with titles must tap out all the potential of the titles, and their combat power should at least not be weaker than the four warriors inscribed with tigers, leopards, wolves and eagles.

And the other generals who didn't get the title reward also couldn't lower their requirements, at least a pair of two had to beat a Valkyrie inscriber.

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

Now Liu Yi is no longer Liu Meng's opponent, and Shang Ji, as the protagonist, can't face Liu Meng in person, so his assessment standard has been changed to Tai Shici.

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

Now Liu Meng's force value has just reached 95 points, which is considered to be super first-class mid-term. And Tai Shici's force value is 97 points, the top general in the early stage.

Although the difference in strength between the two is only two points,

However, the difficulty of increasing the force value increases geometrically in the later stage. At the same time, the strength improvement brought by a little force value is also more exaggerated.

In the early stage, a difference of a few points or even ten points in the force value may lead to a counterattack and counterattack. However, when the force value reaches 90 points, especially 94 points and above, even if the difference in force value is only a little, there is no special ability like cheating, and it is almost impossible to fight back. it's impossible.

The gap between Liu Meng and Tai Shici is two points, including a crucial promotion level for top generals. If Tai Shici makes a full attack, there is a high chance of causing an instant kill effect on Liu Meng.

In fact, if it was just an ordinary super general, it would not be difficult for Tai Shici to achieve a one-hit kill 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 military affairs, business affairs in government affairs also require Liaodong to be prepared for war at any time.

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

At the same time, the blacksmith workshop started working at full capacity, producing all levels of equipment non-stop, and consumables such as various arrows and flying spears were the top priority. The alchemy room also works day and night, working overtime to produce various basic elixir.

At present, with the strong support of the Liu family, the alchemy room has been able to produce 20 strong bone pills, 100 Dahunyuan pills, and 300 pairs of Xingjun powder and Zhixue powder every day.

At present, there are almost no officers who are at the peak of senior generals in the Shangji Army. As long as the strength is reached, you can apply for a bone-strengthening pill with your military exploits.

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

Under various preferential policies, once the force value reaches 69 points, he can immediately rely on the strong bone pill to advance to a third-rate general. At present, the proportion of third-rate generals in the Shang Ji Army far exceeds that of the ordinary army.

In the Liaodong War Army alone, there are thousands of third-rate generals serving as military marquises, even chiefs, and village chiefs. The large number of grassroots generals with excellent quality has greatly improved the overall strength of the Xiangping War Army. The speed and depth, or the usual training efficiency and even the morale of the army in battle have all been qualitatively improved.

Of course, this promotion is accompanied by the wave-like passing of gold coins. The cost of a bone-strengthening pill is very low. Even if you have an alchemist, a venue and a recipe, an average bone-strengthening pill costs about 800 gold coins.

The alchemy workshop needs an investment of 20,000 yuan almost every day, and most of it falls on Qianggudan.

In addition, in order to build a large number of grassroots generals, Shang Ji also spent huge sums of money to build a large number of blacksmith shops, and hired players and senior blacksmiths among the aborigines with high salaries to join.

Originally, when the number of Shangji troops was small, it was enough for the generals to change their outfits by relying on capture. However, as the army becomes more and more institutionalized and scaled, it would be a bit of a dream to rely on seizures.

The blacksmith workshop is naturally fast and cheap to produce standard equipment, but it is somewhat powerless for the non-standard equipment used by generals.

As the saying goes, the ruler is short and the inch is long. High-level blacksmiths are very suitable for making non-standard advanced equipment with a small quantity and high quality requirements.

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

In general, there are countless excellent grassroots generals in the Shangji army, and it depends on spending a lot of money!

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