Lord of the People: Start a Super Gold Mine

Naturally, Jiang Ting also knew that it was difficult to deal with the envoy from Nanli, but he didn't care about so much for the time being. His four major legions now have less than 5 people in total, and their strength is extremely low.

So when Xun Yu rushed to Yuedu City, Jiang Ting immediately became the shopkeeper and immediately began to collect the wealth of the four states and rebuild the three armies.

After all, Nanyue had just been occupied, and Jiang Ting didn't want to squeeze it too hard, for fear of causing a backlash, so in the end, he only formed a new army of 50.

For an old country, building an army of 50 would not be a problem. After all, it has a population of 300 million. Even if it is the original Jiang country, it is no problem to build an army of one million at any cost.

There are four states in Nanyue, and four counties in each state. Each county has an average of ten cities, and there are more than 200 cities in total.

Each city only needs to provide the expenditure of [-] troops, and he can build an army of one million.

However, Jiang Ting has always pursued the route of elite soldiers. In terms of the army, he also provides the best armaments. Therefore, if he really wants to build an army of one million, according to his requirements, he may need a huge sum of tens of billions of dollars to complete it.

This is obviously a waste of money. Today, money is really just a number for Jiang Ting. He has to think more about how to make a country run smoothly without shaking its foundation.

As long as the foundation is not shaken, he will continue to obtain wealth.

As the territory gets larger, many things will become different, so Jiang Ting also intends to follow Nanyue's previous model and continue. In the future, each city will only provide expenditure needs for [-] troops.

He now owns more than 200 cities, and each city cultivates [-] elites, which is more than a million lions!

As long as there is a war, the soldiers and horses in the major cities can be gathered quickly, and millions of troops will come out to guard the important passes. If there is no war, [-] troops can maintain the law and order of the major cities.

The advantage of this is that the army's blood recovery ability will become very strong. As long as there are no major changes, even if he is defeated once or twice, he will not directly die.

Take Nanyue as an example, if there hadn't been a battle for the heir apparent, and Jingzhou had been lost with the cooperation of Bai Qi and Jia Xu, he wouldn't have been easily annexed by Jiang Ting.

If Jingzhou is not lost, then hundreds of thousands of troops can definitely fight a protracted war with Jiang Guo. At this time, Nanyue can form new troops in the major cities, and continuously produce new recruits to participate.

Even if there are hundreds of thousands of casualties, the foundation will not be shaken at all. If you continue to fight, you will only fight for the wealth of a country.

Therefore, wars between countries are all about financial and human resources!

Of course, this is only under normal circumstances, so in many cases, it is necessary for the counselors to make suggestions, lay down those important passes, and slowly erode the enemy's territory.

Such a feat of destroying a country in one war is actually very rare.

Didn't you see that Nanyang Dynasty and Nanli did this?

Generally speaking, a country will not start an all-out war easily. It is a long-term way to erode the enemy's territory and expand itself bit by bit.

Of course, this is only for npc forces. After all, they can't buy slaves in the trading market. The advantage of player forces is that they don't lack manpower. They only need enough financial resources to continuously create troops.

As long as the trading market is not cancelled, this game will sooner or later be dominated by players, because they don't particularly need population.

Take Nanyue as an example, with a population of 300 million, they can only use the people in the territory to form an army, and they need a long training to get it out. Although they have the exclusive means of npc, they can train five-star soldiers without spending too much resources. elite.

But it needs enough time, and sometimes, time is the most important thing. Players are different. They buy arms, which are all clearly marked, and after a little training, they can be pulled into the battlefield.

"If it is an ordinary game, there is no problem with such a setting. After all, the game is a game, and the npc is just a foil."

"But this game is definitely not simple. Population is the most important thing in war, but this game deliberately ignores the importance of population..."

Jiang Ting frowned, thinking secretly, always felt that things were not that simple.

You know, population is the main theme of war. This is a hegemony game. Such a setting is indeed too unreasonable. If the early stage is to help players develop, then in the later stage, this setting is a very serious bug!
Jiang Ting felt blessed in an instant, always feeling that he had grasped something crucial, but he was not sure.

"In any case, the population is very important. The level of the territory determines the upper limit of the population. Now that I have won Nanyue, the upper limit of the population has reached 800 million. I have to buy the remaining 300 million as soon as possible. "

Jiang Ting put aside those thoughts in his mind, no matter whether there are changes in the later stage, as long as his general territory is kept full of population, even if one day he cannot buy slaves in the market, he will not suffer too much.

In the end, Jiang Ting gave all of the newly formed army of 50 to the four major armies.

The Qinglong Legion expanded to 20 and guarded Jiangcheng.

The White Tiger Legion expanded to 30 and guarded Jingzhou and Minzhou.

The Xuanwu Army expanded to 30 and guarded Tangzhou.

The Phoenix Legion expanded by 20 and guarded Yuezhou.

Here we are talking about the establishment. The establishment is an army of one million, but the official army is still only 50, and the remaining 50 are the reserve soldiers purchased by Jiang Ting. The equipment and horses are all empty.

Jiang Ting was not in a hurry to get it out right away, after all, he had just occupied Nanyue, and the most important thing at the moment was to appease the people.

After two or three months, when everything is stable, it will not be too late to make money and install it for them.

After the affairs of the army and Nanyue have been dealt with, the next step is to return to Jiangcheng to settle the matter of Jia Xu and Nanli envoy.

Both matters were quite difficult, and Jiang Ting didn't think about how to handle them properly.

Without Jia Xu, it is impossible for Jingzhou to be breached so easily, let alone annex the entire Nanyue. Jia Xu is definitely the biggest contributor to this war.

How could he really kill Jia Xu?
Not to mention he was reluctant, if he really killed him, what would Jiang Guo's high-level officials think?
I gave everything for you, and you turned around and cut me off?

But the hundreds of thousands of people in the Jiang country were indeed killed by Jia Xu. If he didn't kill them, how could he give an explanation to the people of the Jiang country?
If the people are eccentric, the operation of the entire Jiang country will be affected, and it is not easy to raise it.

Fortunately, Sun Ce received Zhou Yu's hint and escorted Jia Xu to parade in the three southern counties some time ago. The people smashed eggs and threw vegetables in groups. At least they vented their anger, so nothing broke out. A civil uprising in street demonstrations.

It wasn't until Nanli's army sent troops to occupy Khitan and Hongyang that Sun Ce hurriedly brought them back to Jiangcheng.
