Cross the bandit to be the emperor

Upgrading unqualified bows and arrows to elementary bows and arrows only requires a little power of faith, while upgrading elementary bows and arrows to intermediate bows and arrows requires ten points of power of faith.

With so much power of faith, he can be upgraded to a mid-level character.

Just like intermediate people.

Even if two mid-level people perform poorly, there is a high probability that they will be better than one mid-level person with a good weapon.

However, now, they have thousands of taels of silver in Heifengzhai. If they can buy some good quality bows and arrows from the imperial court, it can save him from using the power of faith to upgrade.

Money is valuable only when it is spent.

Chapter 79 Bow Grades and Differences

It didn't take long for Li Yi to figure out Deng Shihu's classification of bows and arrows.

The bow with an effective range of about 70 meters is an ordinary bow. If he bought it from Yangzhou, it would cost about seven or eight taels of silver.

This effective range does not mean that bows and arrows can only shoot so far, but that after shooting so far, the arrow still has a certain lethality.

The bow with an effective range of about 100 meters, that is, the primary bow upgraded by Goldfinger, is a good bow, and it costs about seventeen or eight taels of silver.

Bows with an effective range of about 150 meters are top-grade bows. Such bows are worth at least 100 taels of silver in the market. However, he cannot buy bows of this level from Yangzhou officials.

The best bow he could buy only had an effective range of about 120 meters.

In order for Deng Shihu to judge these, Li Yi specially upgraded a set of intermediate bows and arrows, which was the bow and arrows with an effective range of 150 meters.

Deng Shihu looked at it over and over again, looking like he couldn't put it down and liked it very much.

Horse thieves are good at archery, and the bow is one of their very important weapons. How could he not like a high-grade bow?

The entire White Horse Gang does not have a bow of this level.

The effective range of his bow is only about 130 meters, and it was obtained from a looting.

In fact, a bow does not mean that the farther the effective range is, the better. If you want to shoot far, you must use more strength. Everyone has different strength. Control it freely, so that you can guarantee the accuracy and shoot enough arrows.

Otherwise, you can shoot far, but the aim is not enough, or you will lose strength after two or three shots, which is meaningless.

What's rare about that intermediate bow is that it consumes almost as much energy as Deng Shihu's bow with an effective range of only about 130 meters. Why doesn't Deng Shihu like it?

At this time, Li Yi also discovered that the bow he upgraded with Goldfinger may be the reason why the design is more reasonable in all aspects, and it consumes less energy to use.

This is also a big plus.

Originally, a person could only shoot a 70-meter bow. After using the bow upgraded by Goldfinger, he might be able to shoot a 100-meter bow.

Originally, a person could only shoot ten arrows in a row, but after using the bow upgraded by Gold Finger, he could shoot fifteen arrows in a row.

This is the increase in combat power.

Deng Shihu's purchase of weapons is not unlimited. Different weapons have different amounts. The better the bow, the less quantity you can buy. Currently, the White Horse Gang has one hundred 70-meter bows and fifty 100-meter bows. Zhang, thirteen bows of 120 meters, and one bow of 130 meters.

This is what the White Horse Gang spent five years saving little by little.

"You try to buy as many 100-meter bows as possible!"

Li Yi thought for a while and said.

Currently, Deng Shihu can only buy 70-meter bows, 100-meter bows, and 120-meter bows.

The 70-meter bow was rated as unqualified by Gold Finger.

The 100-meter bow and the 120-meter bow are rated as junior bows by Goldfinger.

He tried it again just now. When the 100-meter bow and the 120-meter bow were upgraded, they both consumed ten points of power of faith. They were all upgraded to intermediate bows. There was only a slight difference in quality, but there was no difference in performance.

For a 100-meter bow, Deng Shihu would need to spend seventeen or eight taels of silver to buy it.

For a 120-meter bow, Deng Shihu would need to spend about 35 taels of silver to buy it.

Twice the price, almost the same effect.

Li Yi naturally chose the former.

Buy it first, and later, when his power of faith is sufficient, it will not be too late to upgrade slowly.

Perhaps, it is more cost-effective for him to upgrade an intermediate bow than to upgrade an additional intermediate person, but at some point, it may be able to play a big role.

There is a difference of 150 meters between the effective range of 120 meters and the effective range of 30 meters. This is not a small distance.

At critical times, it may be the distance between life and death.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Deng Shihu said respectfully.

After asking some other questions, Li Yi asked Deng Shihu to leave.

In short, the harvest is not small.

Let Li Yi have a better understanding of the strength of the imperial court.

It also made Li Yi feel more urgent.

He thought that their current strength was already good, and he even felt a little complacent in his heart.

Only now do I know that their strength is just a drop in the bucket compared to the imperial court.

The biggest advantage may be that the imperial army needs to suppress the world, especially the five elite soldiers, each sitting on one side, will not be easily mobilized. Their enemies in the early stage are only the state soldiers of the Great Shang Dynasty.

The strength of the state soldiers is far inferior to that of the five elite soldiers.

Moreover, state soldiers also need to suppress all places. Except for the important camps of each state, each county only has about a thousand state soldiers guarding it.

"In the beginning, what Heifengzhai faced might be about a thousand soldiers from the state. In the future, there might be at most about ten thousand soldiers from the state. In the end, no matter how many tens of thousands of soldiers from the state, it would be a very large-scale war. I don't know. What time is it!"

Li Yi thought to himself.

"population"

The next moment, Li Yi's expression was complicated.

In principle, he doesn't want to get more people. In comparison, he prefers to take the route of elite soldiers.

Many people have great potential, and many people have big goals.

With fewer people, they attract fewer enemies.

Now, he already knew that the imperial court's strength was definitely not something that their Black Wind Village could resist. Then, the only correct way for them was to let the imperial court use less and less strength to deal with them each time, and play a more fueling tactic.

Fewer people, higher quality, beat back the enemy again and again, and when the enemy reacts, they have become extremely powerful.

However, with his golden finger, the more their number, the faster their development.

If there is no population, if we want to develop, we don't know when it will be.

"Wait, I don't want to make myself appear too ambitious, so the enemy just wants to?"

Suddenly, Li Yi's heart moved.

What I am doing now is a matter of rebelling openly and aboveboard, and establishing myself as the emperor.

It's really too much trouble, is the local county magistrate responsible?Are local state officials responsible?

So it is not a last resort, and they will definitely not report too much!

Thinking of this, Li Yi breathed a sigh of relief.

If so, there is still room for maneuver in this matter.

"Speaking of which, Qinglong Village"

Li Yi's eyes flickered slightly.

But at this time, he suddenly thought of what he saw in Qinglongzhai, and couldn't help but wonder, did Qinglongzhai also think the same way?

Rumor has it that there are only 3000 people in Qinglongzhai, maybe they just don't want to make themselves appear too ambitious?

Otherwise, a bandit village that has been passed down for hundreds of years is said to have been very powerful decades ago.

Where are the others?left?eliminated?For support staff?Does the support staff count as the number of people?

Last time, the bandits in Qinglongzhai he saw in Qinglongzhai were at least junior bandits, and many of them were mid-level bandits who seemed to follow the route of elite soldiers.

Even, the strength of Qinglongzhai is very similar to the situation of the five elite soldiers of the Great Shang Dynasty described by Deng Shihu.

Chapter 80 Yangmou

"If Qinglongzhai has thousands or even more fighters like the five elite soldiers, it is not difficult to understand why the officials of Qingyang and Yangzhou are very afraid of Qinglongzhai."

Li Yi thought to himself.

The five elite soldiers are very powerful if they dispatch a hundred-man team at random. If there are thousands or even more such elite soldiers in Qinglongzhai, it is estimated that it will be difficult to win if Qinglong and Yangzhou prefectures do not mobilize tens of thousands of soldiers.

The elite soldiers are highly mobile, and if one is not good, Qinglongzhai uses guerrilla tactics, and it is not impossible to hang and beat Qingyang and Yangzhou state soldiers.

Elite soldiers, only elite soldiers are easy to deal with.

However, none of the five elite soldiers of Dashang would casually mobilize on a large scale. If the state officials of Qingyang and Yangzhou reported to them, what kind of responsibility would they be responsible for letting Qinglongzhai grow to such an extent under their noses?

Simply put, Qinglongzhai's population is not high according to rumors, and it is also well-behaved. Not only does it not cause big troubles, but it also restrains the green forest forces in the two states. This is also faintly beneficial to the officials of Qingyang and Yangzhou.

What if, at this time, Qinglongzhai gave important gifts to the officials of Qingyang and Yangzhou?

Then, it is normal for Qinglongzhai to sit firmly in Qingyang and Yangzhou.

"Even the demolition of Qinglongzhai may be an act of lowering one's own goals. Perhaps, 20 years ago, Qinglongzhai was targeted by the court, but the following series of actions made Qinglongzhai continue for so many years."

Li Yi's heart moved slightly, and he thought of something again.

The more you think about it, the more possible it becomes. Otherwise, even if you don't want a good city, you can use other methods, and there is no need to demolish it.

The defensive effect of a city is still very strong.

However, it is too big for bandits to build cities in the mountains.

Think about it, if this matter is reported to the Great Shang Emperor, how can the other party tolerate it?

The state officials in Qingyang and Yangzhou are not easy to hide.

"Sure enough, many things are not as simple as they appear on the surface."

Li Yi sighed.

Although it was just a guess, he felt that the reality was pretty much inseparable.

Otherwise, with the huge income of Qinglongzhai, it would be easy to afford to take in more people, so why not take in more people?

There is only one possibility!

Don't want your goals to be too big!

I don't want to cause too much fear among the officials!

Even if there were one or two thousand elite soldiers in Qinglongzhai, which made the local state officials very afraid, but for the entire Great Shang Dynasty, it was insignificant at all.

With five elite soldiers, 1 people can be dispatched at will, and Qinglongzhai can be wiped out.

"In this way, Qinglongzhai sent troops to deal with those green forest forces who did not abide by the rules. It is likely to take into account the effect of military training. After all, soldiers who have never seen blood, no matter how good they are trained, there are still great shortcomings."

When some things are figured out, many things become clear.

It has to be said that there is an expert in Qinglongzhai who plays chess, and many of them follow the Yangmou route.

Even if people from some forces guessed the purpose of Qinglongzhai, and Qinglongzhai protected the interests of most of the green forest forces, those green forest forces would not object.

This is also good for the state officials of Qingyang and Yangzhou, and the other party must be happy to see this.

"If I had known earlier, maybe the members of the White Horse Gang should have stayed in their lair so that no one would know that the Black Wind Village had annexed the White Horse Gang. Defeated, Black Wind Village annexed the White Horse Gang."

Li Yi sighed slightly and said softly.

Of course, he just sighed casually.

At that time, the strength of the White Horse Gang was too strong, and the strength of Heifengzhai was not much stronger than that of the White Horse Gang, and even weaker than that of the White Horse Gang. It was difficult to prevent the other party from changing their minds by keeping the members of the White Horse Gang in their lair.

Many members of the White Horse Gang have never been to Heifeng Village, and it is not easy to supervise them.

Maybe, the news about the White Horse Gang's defeat at Heifengzhai would spread even faster and even more outrageously.

It is better to directly move the members of the White Horse Gang into the Black Wind Village. It will be easier to control all aspects, and it will be more convenient for him to obtain the power of faith.

"However, in the future, this kind of thing can be considered."
