Cross the bandit to be the emperor

It's just that He Yong himself may not realize it!

That old servant may have seen something and wanted to benefit from it, but unfortunately, he was almost flattered on the horse's hoof!

Black Wind Village.

Li Yi didn't know that the storm was coming.

Still in full swing.

The ability of a mid-level leader can manage 2000 people, which is more than enough for Li Yi to manage [-] people in Heifeng Village.

Life professionals have almost upgraded, and all kinds of construction are developing in a good direction. A junior and intermediate blacksmith is also continuously making good weapons.

It's a pity that bows and arrows are not easy to make, and many materials take a long time to make. Otherwise, Li Yi can upgrade the bow maker to make bows and arrows. Now, he can only rely on buying from outside, and then slowly use the power of faith to upgrade.

It turned out that there were two hundred warriors in Heifengzhai.

Later, 400 members of the White Horse Gang were captured. Since most of them were young and strong elites, Li Yi selected a total of 220 five people from them as fighters.

Li Yi selected 25 people from the Black Tiger Gang as fighters.

Today, there are a total of 450 warriors in Heifengzhai!

Among them, there are 170 cavalry battalions, twelve intermediate masters, and 150 eight junior masters!

This is the good foundation of the White Horse Gang, which almost doubles the number of junior and intermediate masters in Heifengzhai, and most of them are cavalry, plus a large number of junior war horses. More than doubled!

There are 110 people in the melee battalion, one hundred junior experts and ten intermediate experts!

There are 70 people in the Shenji Battalion, [-] junior masters, and [-] intermediate masters!

There are 100 people in the preparatory camp, all of whom are unqualified personnel of various occupations!

The preparatory camp also trains normally, and Li Yi selects some people from it from time to time to be promoted to junior figures!

Under normal circumstances, people from the reserve battalion will not go to the battlefield, and when they go to the battlefield, Li Yi will try his best to upgrade them to junior characters!

After all, it is too easy for unqualified characters to be injured on the battlefield. The power of faith spent on healing the other party is no less than that of treating junior characters, which is not cost-effective. Stay in Heifengzhai to manage the order of various personnel in Heifengzhai. Anyway, this requires manpower, and does not require much force.

The establishment of the reserve battalion has one advantage. Usually, it is normal training. As long as it is upgraded, the opponent will be a junior player with a tacit understanding. At the same time, when the Black Wind Village needs melee personnel, Li Yi can try to upgrade the junior personnel of the melee profession , when Heifengzhai needs long-distance attackers, Li Yi can try to upgrade the junior characters of long-distance occupations as much as possible.

Healthy competition in the preparatory camp is also conducive to enhancing the loyalty of everyone.

When Li Yi raises their level, their loyalty will be even higher.

This is what Li Yi can't do by promoting everyone to the junior level.

"Your Majesty, Zhang Yushi has made rattan armor"

On this day, Li Yi was checking the information of various supplies in the Heifeng Village in the Juyi Hall when a guard walked in and said happily.

"is it?"

Li Yi's eyes lit up, and he put down the documents in his hand.

Immediately, someone brought Zhang Yushi and the rattan armor he made to Juyi hall.

Soon, Li Yi saw Zhang Yushi and the rattan armor he made.

"Your Majesty, the old minister lived up to his expectations and finally made the rattan armor that the Emperor said."

An old man knelt down on the ground, holding the crooked rattan armor in his hands, and said with tears of excitement.

This old man was the earliest follower of Li Yi. Like the "Qi Imperial Physician", he was also an official appointed by Li Yi's predecessor.

However, with the rapid growth of Heifengzhai, there are more and more talents of all kinds, and the opponents seem to be more and more useless.

Of course, Li Yi is not the kind of person who would kill a donkey. At any rate, he survived together in the early stage. Li Yi did not cancel the official position of the other party's censor, but let the other party still carry the name of the censor and do whatever he wanted. Work, of course, it doesn't matter if you don't want to do it. After all, you are quite old, and it is no problem for Heifengzhai to support the other party's old man.

Because he was the elder of the previous period and had the title of censor, everyone in Heifengzhai was also very polite to him.

In the end, most of the old people were not idle, and most of them would find something to do on their own. When Zhang Yushi knew that Li Yi was looking for someone to make rattan armor, he did it with all his heart, relying on a little bamboo craftsmanship passed down by his ancestors.

Finally, let it be done.

Focus on answering various questions

Recently, I have seen that many readers don’t quite understand the force of various levels of characters in the book, the number of court troops, etc., so the author will explain it here, because it is too cumbersome to write it all in the book.

The first question is about the combat power of junior military ranks, junior bandits, junior guards, and junior people.

Under normal circumstances, a junior can play two or three failures.

The second question is the combat power of mid-level military personnel.

Under normal circumstances, one person can fight five to ten ordinary people, most of them must be unqualified, and there can be a small amount of junior martial arts. When Chapter 10 wrote about Li Ling's combat power, it was described.

The third question is the combat power of high-level military personnel.

Under normal circumstances, it would be very difficult to fight four intermediate levels at the same time, and it would be difficult to deal with four or five intermediate levels at most, and no more.This is written in Chapter 40. , As for how many ordinary people you can fight, it also depends on the situation, whether the opponent cooperates well, how morale is, whether they have equipment, etc.

The fourth question, why do the first three questions refer to the general situation?

Because the battle between the two parties is not directly based on the comparison of data, the brave wins when they meet in a narrow road, and the first to strike first, etc. These have been mentioned in many chapters, such as Chapter 10, and there are other chapters, the author also remembers I don't know where it is, but I wrote it.

If one fails, it is normal for the weak to live and the strong to die.

It is normal for 100 people to chase and kill 1000 people in ancient wars. Is 100 people really better than 1000 people?not necessarily!But the general trend has become!

Momentum is very important!

Similar to Morale!

For example, when Chapter 48 wrote about Li Dadao, the leader of the Heavenly Killing Gang, he described that the other party once chased and killed dozens of people by himself, and became famous in one battle!

However, the protagonist appraised the opponent's level and found that it was only an intermediate level. The protagonist guessed that the opponent was very close to the advanced level. However, even if the opponent was advanced, and the two sides were facing each other head-on, would Li Dadao really be stronger than those dozens of people combined?uncertain!

This is the role of the general trend!Morale works!Those dozens of people had already lost their courage, so they were chased and killed by one person. No matter how strong they are combined, it is useless!

The fifth question is the strength of the five elite soldiers of the Great Shang Dynasty.

First of all, Deng Shihu's evaluation of them is that each of them is the elite of the elite.

The author believes that if an army can really practice every day, it should also meet the setting of the elite among the elite.

Secondly, not everyone is intermediate, which was written at the beginning of Chapter 78.

However, almost all of them started at the junior level, and even if they were beginners, most of them were relatively good at the junior level.

The author believes that this setting is normal.

Looking at Qian Xiaoer and Qian Xiaowu who appeared at the beginning, they were junior bandits from the beginning.

Because they used to be human beings, they were better than ordinary people in all aspects of physical fitness, and later mixed among bandits, they became junior bandits.

They used to be human beings, but their archery ability is not even as good as the junior Zheng Anqiang who appeared later. It can be seen that when they are human beings, they are not very qualified. Because of time accumulation and occasional exercise, they become juniors. Bandits.

How could those soldiers who drilled every day be inferior to Qian Xiaoer and Qian Xiaowu?

The primary level requires one year of rigorous training, and the intermediate level requires five years of rigorous training. There is a huge gap between them. It is understandable that many of those soldiers do not reach the intermediate level, but are relatively good at the primary level.

Then, how their strength compares to that of mid-level characters.

At the beginning, Deng Shihu, the leader of the White Horse Gang and a middle-level horse thief, said that he dare not say that he is an opponent of an ordinary soldier of the Shenwu Army. This is actually a modest statement. If it is not for the huge difference in strength, you dare to say that someone must not be you. opponent?

Immediately afterwards, Deng Shihu said later that it was the sense organ of more than ten years ago. Over the past ten years, his strength has increased again. In unarmed combat, he may be able to beat ordinary soldiers of the Shenwu Army, but an army as a whole , Look at the equipment, look at the morale, the morale of the Shenwu Army is very strong, and the equipment is very good. If the opponent is fully armed, even now, he dare not say that he is the opponent of the opponent.

There are two questions here. First, what level was Deng Shihu's strength more than ten years ago? Perhaps he has not yet reached the intermediate level?In addition, the ordinary soldiers of the Shenwu Army are indeed very powerful. At that time, they dared not say that they could beat the opponent, so it is understandable!It cannot be judged from this sentence that the soldiers of the Shenwu Army must have reached the intermediate level!

On the contrary, the current Deng Shihu is at the middle level. He said that maybe he can beat the opponent in unarmed combat, which shows that the unarmed strength of ordinary soldiers of the Shenwu Army is probably not as good as Deng Shihu, but it is not sure how good Deng Shihu is in the middle level. After all, he is a third-rate force Boss, therefore, it cannot be judged that the soldiers of the Shenwu Army are not intermediate.

The author's setting is that there are intermediate and elementary levels, and even the elementary level is relatively strong. As for the reason, I have already written it just now.

Then, Deng Shihu mentioned morale, equipment and other issues, saying that the opponent is fully armed, and he dare not say that he is the opponent now.

This sentence shows that the fully armed soldiers of the Shenwu Army are not far behind, if not comparable to mid-level figures.

This point is not difficult to understand.

Not to mention morale.

The Shenwu Army is well equipped, as Deng Shihu said, how strong is it?

Armor is a must!

Exquisite weapons are a must!

Many even have repeaters!

In Chapter 78, the protagonist asked Deng Shihu how the strength of the Yangzhou Cavalry Battalion compares with that of the White Horse Gang. Deng Shihu said that the Yangzhou Cavalry Battalion had armor and three-shot crossbows, and that the Yangzhou Cavalry Battalion was just ordinary state soldiers. .

Some readers said that a soldier of the Shenwu Army is comparable to a middle-level figure, and can beat more than a dozen ordinary people, which is too exaggerated!

First of all, even an intermediate character is not absolutely capable of beating more than a dozen ordinary people. It mainly depends on the quality and cooperation of ordinary people. This was mentioned in Chapter 10 when Li Ling’s strength was written, and the second question was also written about the intermediate level. The strength of the character.

It is written in Chapter 78 that it is easy for middle-level people to beat ten or eight ordinary people.

A person who trains every day, wears armor, holds a delicate sword, and may even have a crossbow. Do you really think it is difficult to beat ten or eight ordinary people?

The sixth question is whether the number of elite soldiers and the total number of soldiers in the imperial court are too many.

There are 100 million elite soldiers, 250 million ordinary soldiers, and a so-called 350 million army. This number is indeed relatively large, almost exceeding the number of soldiers in any dynasty in history.

However, according to the author's setting, the population of the Great Shang Dynasty also exceeded that of all dynasties in history.

There are more than 3 million people who are counted, and those who are hidden, not registered, and who cannot be counted add up to about [-] million.

It's just that the author hasn't written it yet, but there are many readers who ask, so I will say it here in advance.In fact, the author wrote that there were 36 prefectures in the Great Shang Dynasty, and each prefecture in Qingyang and Yangzhou had more than 30 counties, which implicitly shows that the Great Shang Dynasty had a large population.

With such a huge population base, there are so many soldiers.

One million elite soldiers may seem like a lot, but to suppress the four borders, the central government, and each place is only 100.

Then, with so many elite soldiers, can the court afford them?After all, there is still a big difference between elite soldiers and ordinary soldiers. For example, elite soldiers are almost all-combat personnel and do not work. Ordinary soldiers can do other things, such as farming.

There are also all kinds of sophisticated equipment, each of which is valuable.

In fact, it is affordable, not to mention the ratio of one or two hundred people to one soldier, the equipment is expensive, it is the market price, and the imperial court prohibits circulation, so it is so expensive, the cost is not very high, especially, the imperial court allows Craftsmen make it, but they don't need to pay much. Every craftsman has a certain amount of labor.

It's nothing more than eating more while training.

If 100 million people eat more, how much more can they eat?

Secondly, does the imperial court need the resources of its own country to raise soldiers?

The author has mentioned several times that the Great Shang Dynasty was a prosperous age, and it was in its heyday, and it was very powerful in all aspects!

The seventh question, I saw some readers talking about food prices.

In fact, the price of a world mainly depends on how the author sets it.

The prices in this world, except for equipment, are not too high in other aspects. It will not happen that you have to pay a few taels of silver for a casual breakfast on the street. In fact, more than five yuan is quite expensive.

One money and two catties of food, this is the author's setting.

There is more than one cake for a penny.

In fact, historically, there was grain at this price, and there were cheaper ones.

Some readers said that the price of food is so cheap, it must be a super prosperous age!

In fact, is cheap food really good for the common people?

Not necessarily, there has always been a saying that cheap grain hurts farmers. Many farmers can only earn their income by selling grain. With low grain prices, can you still expect them to be rich?What if the imperial court suppressed the price?This is a proper harvest of the fruits of farmers' labor!

So, don't think that low food prices mean a great prosperity!

The Great Shang Dynasty here is a prosperous age, but this prosperous age is a bit illusory.

Also, the price of grain fluctuates, and the cost of grain is not fixed. The author will write about it later.

Chapter 83 Armorer

Armor can enhance a warrior's combat power!

However, it is almost impossible to buy in the market, and the White Horse Gang only treasured one set. However, Deng Shihu usually does not dare to wear it. Li Yi asked the other party to take a look. The blacksmith in Fengzhai took a look and said it was not easy to make.

Even if those blacksmiths managed to make it, it would take a lot of time, and the quality is far inferior to the original version, after all, it is not professional.

Then, Li Yi thought of rattan armor.

The preparation is simple and the defense is not weak.

Therefore, Li Yi ordered some logistics personnel to weave rattan armor, especially the bamboo craftsmen. This is the work of bamboo craftsmen, and the bamboo craftsmen should be able to weave it after studying it.
