The Three Kingdoms began with island farming

Chapter 103 Talent Development

After the wedding, Tian Ze really enjoyed a very pleasant time. Mi Zhen's gentle and kind temperament really made him intoxicated.

However, as the leader of a region, Tian Ze could not always indulge in beauty. After enjoying the beauty of sweet love, under the persuasion of Mi Zhen, he resolutely started to get down to business again.

After several long months, Tian Ze thoroughly investigated and cleaned up Goguryeo. All the local Goguryeo people were relocated to Liaodong. At the same time, batches of new refugees from the Central Plains were also moved there one after another and settled down.

After hearing the shocking news that Goguryeo was overthrown by the "rebel army" and the regime was rebuilt, Han, Buyeo and other countries were full of doubts and sent envoys to investigate the situation.

After all, they felt the same way as the Han people did about Goguryeo's past tyranny and disgusting behavior.

But the result left them dumbfounded.

My goodness, aren't all the people who rebelled Han Chinese? So many local Goguryeo people disappeared as if they had evaporated from the face of the earth.

In the vast Goguryeo, the only people left who were Goguryeo were the so-called king and ministers sitting in the dilapidated palace.

But there were obvious problems with their facial expressions and their choice of words. In response to some of the questions and requests they raised, these people hesitated and used confusing words, relying entirely on the so-called translator to "explain".

It was not that the envoys they sent could not understand Goguryeo. After all, they spoke the same language, so they could naturally sense the trick.

In fact, Tian Ze also wanted to train a few qualified puppets to perform a complete show.

However, it is too difficult to implement in practice, and it is easy to reveal one's mistakes if one is not careful, so one has to give up in the end.

Anyway, according to Tian Ze's plan, these small countries around him will be taken into his possession one by one in a short time, so he simply doesn't spend too much time on this aspect.

As long as we communicate well with Zhao Zhong and don't let the envoys from these small countries have the opportunity to meet the emperor, someone will naturally help cover up the rest of the small matters.

After all, they were just some tiny countries. At that time, the ministers in the court were fighting fiercely with the eunuchs and relatives of the emperor. No one had the time and energy to pay attention to Liaodong, which was so remote.

Tian Ze once again started his "inspection" work, tirelessly traveling throughout the territory of Goguryeo and expanding the difficult process of his "small map".

Through the clear display of the "small map", he was shocked to find that the mineral resources in Goguryeo were richer than he had imagined! At this time, the area ruled by Goguryeo probably covered the Changbai Mountains in later generations and the vast areas of northern and eastern North Korea.

The Changbai Mountains are relatively rich in mineral resources, especially a huge copper mine of high quality, which is located on the edge of Xuantu County.

The continuous mountains in the north and east of North Korea hide a large number of extremely rich minerals, including iron ore, coal, copper, gold, etc. The abundance of resources and huge reserves shocked Tian Zedu, and he could not calm down for a long time.

Moreover, many of these mines are not only suitable for open-pit mining, but also of excellent quality. The copper and iron content in the minerals is very high, the ore grade reaches more than 60%, and there are few impurities. The mineral value is much higher than that of Liaodong.

Although there are a lot of iron ores in Liaodong, most of them are of relatively low quality, with the average ore grade below 30%, resulting in high processing costs and difficulty.

This means that Tianze can easily mine large amounts of high-quality copper, iron and other resources here. The efficiency is several times higher than the mines in Liaodong, and it is easier to refine and cast.

Sent!

Tian Ze realized this problem at the first time.

It was only because he knew too little about these places in his previous life, otherwise he would not have discovered until now that North Korea had such rich mineral resources.

Originally, Tian Ze was still worried that the distance to Wa Island was too far. Even if it was transported by sea, there would be many inconveniences in transporting the mined ore.

But now this worry has completely disappeared. The rich mineral resources in Goguryeo alone are enough for him to squander for a long time, and mining is convenient, the distance is very close, and the cost is extremely low.

After learning about this huge fortune that fell from the sky, Tian Ze did not hesitate at all and immediately notified Chen Gong and others.

After sending people to verify and confirm the matter, Chen Gong and others were overjoyed!

What Liaodong needs most right now is copper mines. Coal reserves are not in short supply for the time being. Although the quality of iron ore is average, the quantity is large. Gold and silver mines are not exactly a necessity either.

They never dreamed that the high-quality iron ore and copper mines they had been longing for were so close to them. Otherwise, they would have sent troops to attack them long ago and would not have waited until now.

Following the precise markings given by Tian Ze, a casual search would reveal several large areas of high-quality open-pit iron and copper mines.

Chen Gong immediately made a decisive decision and retained some of the young and strong Goguryeo people who were originally planned to be transferred back to Liaodong, settled them on the spot, and arranged for 3,000 well-trained soldiers to garrison there.

The surrounding areas were immediately sealed off, and mining of these precious minerals began in an aggressive manner, with copper coins being frantically minted day and night.

Looking at the boatloads of heavy copper coins being delivered to Liaodong and entering the government treasury, Chen Gong never lost the smile on his face. He felt as if his feet were stepping on cotton as soft as clouds, and his whole body seemed to be floating in the air.

"My lord, your talent is truly terrifying!" Chen Gong exclaimed sincerely after meeting Tian Ze.

"Really?" Tian Ze touched his nose.

In fact, when Tian Ze just awakened his talent, he felt a little lost.

How useful is a talent for opening a map?

However, with subsequent unremitting development and exploration, Tian Ze gradually realized that his talent was not as simple as it seemed. Even the most basic and simple map talent was of great significance to the world hegemony, facilitating the layout management of the area under his control and the marching formation.

Being able to clearly perceive the distribution of enemies and our own people on the map and their approximate number can give us a huge intelligence advantage in military strategy.

If Tian Ze led the troops personally, or if the intelligence transmission technology could be significantly improved, the enemy's every move could be monitored anytime and anywhere.

This allows you to deploy your troops in a targeted manner, avoid sudden attacks, and make yourself tactically invincible.

Since its development, the small map can not only accurately display the climate conditions, making it convenient to control the flow of rain in the fields and lakes, but also greatly improve the safety of navigation, providing a solid guarantee for maritime trade and military operations.

The magical ability to vaguely detect water sources and mineral deposits brought Tian Ze a lot of wealth and convenience, providing a steady stream of resource support for his development and expansion.

In fact, Tian Ze is now vaguely on the verge of developing the next stage of his talent - small-scale sharing.

In a small-scale battlefield, Tian Ze can use his talents to cover the surrounding soldiers, achieving sharing of the small map and vision within a certain range.

Although there is no direct and significant increase in strength, it can greatly improve the organization and tacit understanding among soldiers, and enable them to maintain a stable formation, which greatly improves the overall combat effectiveness.

Tian Ze even boldly imagined that if he could develop magical effects similar to the mouse and keyboard operations in real-time strategy games on this basis, it would achieve a qualitative leap in combat power.

As someone who has played similar games before, he knows too well the importance of micro-management in small-scale combat.

With the same number of troops, the side that can only mindlessly attack is likely to be beaten by the side with superior micro-control skills, and the latter's casualties may be reduced by 30% or even more.

There is a lot of room for maneuver in terms of timely filling in positions to contain the enemy, quickly concentrating fire to attack, accurately breaking through and cutting, and quickly adjusting the formation.

In a real battlefield, detailed command behaviors like "micro-control" can basically only be implemented at this level at most, and even the village chief can hardly do it.

Because detecting changes on the battlefield, thinking about response strategies, arranging combat tasks, receiving command information, and executing action orders all take time, and the battle situation is changing rapidly and unexpected changes are happening at any time.

A garrison of 50 men formed a battle formation. When the garrison commander discovered a gap in the formation, he might have just issued an order to fill the position, but before the order could be heard by the soldiers, the gap was quickly broken through and enlarged by the enemy.

Failure to convey and execute orders in a timely manner is meaningless and will only make the soldiers more confused and unsure of how to respond.

Once Tian Ze's talent is developed into this function, it can solve this problem very well and truly realize "micro-control" in a small range, so that every soldier can use his own arms and play a greater role.

In this way, Tian Ze might really be able to realize his dream of leading an army.

Due to his talent, Tian Ze is able to obtain huge intelligence advantages that others cannot achieve when participating in wars, which almost means that he is destined to participate in large-scale wars.

However, because his functional talents could not add to the army's combat power, he could only serve as a pure "tool man" on the battlefield.

Even though he was a lord and would not be able to lead a general into battle in the future, Tian Ze was unwilling to see the troops he led become a weak link on the battlefield.

Tian Ze's ability to lead troops is just average. At most, he can probably command an army of 10,000 people. The ideal situation should be leading a team of about 1,000 people.

It was not a big deal to deal with the Yellow Turban bandits before, after all, they were just a group of migrant soldiers without much fighting power.

However, if he wants to compete with various princes or manage the grasslands in the future, this ability to lead troops will be far from enough.

During the late Han Dynasty and the Three Kingdoms period, although there were few lords who personally charged into the front lines except for Lu Bu and Sun Ce, there were quite a few lords who personally led their troops into battle.

Especially in some key battles that were related to life and death and determined the direction of the world, Yuan Shao, Cao Cao and Liu Bei all led their troops and commanded the battles in person.

Their presence on the battlefield plays a crucial role in greatly boosting morale, consolidating the military's will, and establishing the lord's own prestige.

Of course, there are also negative examples like "Sun Shiwan".

Tian Ze once thought that his talent might only allow him to keep to his proper place and not cause trouble in wars. At least he must not learn from "Sun Shiwan".

But further development of his talent brought him hope.

Unlike other people's talents, my talent is dug deeper and continuously strengthened.

Tian Ze's functional talent is rare in itself, and his ability to extend and develop new functions is even more unique.

If Tian Ze can really develop his talent to the point where he can command tens of thousands of soldiers with pure consciousness, and then strengthen his own combat qualities and ability to respond to emergencies.

Even in the military, he could rise directly from the bottom to the top and become one of the top generals.

Because this ability is an extraordinary realm that no matter how powerful a general is, he cannot achieve. It is a dimensionality reduction attack in information transmission and command and dispatch, and can completely subvert traditional combat modes and command concepts.

If famous generals such as Xu Rong and Zhang Liao possessed this ability, they would be able to easily change formations in fierce battles, using large formations to cover small formations, and directly form an overwhelming combat power advantage over the enemy in a local area, and completely defeat the opponent with absolute strength.

However, Tianze still has considerable shortcomings in this regard. Whether it is the understanding and application of tactics or the command and operation in actual combat, it is difficult for him to be as smooth, flexible and free as them, and his level still needs to be improved.
