Chapter 369: The foundation of the emperor, hegemony can be achieved
Chapter 369: The foundation of the emperor, hegemony can be achieved
As soon as the world announcement was made, the whole world was shocked.
The second country in the game finally appeared. Unlike the First Dynasty which just killed an elite earth dragon to establish a country, the Dragon Knights killed a real BOSS-level white dragon and even defeated another powerful guild, the Blue Dragon Society.
Hundreds of people were killed.
This founding event can be said to have far-reaching influence. It is definitely a milestone event in the history of the game Old Land.
The announcement had just been made when several more messages appeared on everyone's screens.
System prompt: Your guild has successfully established a country, and you have automatically become a member of that country. You have not yet been appointed to any official position or military rank. You can check it in the system or apply to the leader of the country.
Announcement to the entire server: The First Dynasty congratulates the establishment of Longxiang Kingdom. We hope that we can work together to maintain the order of the game and build a harmonious paradise.
Server-wide announcement: Aoao Niubi Empire congratulates Longxiang Nation on its establishment. Brothers of Longxing Tianxia, are you interested in chatting? How about our cooperation?
Server-wide announcement: Former allies congratulate the establishment of Longxiang Nation...
Xiao Jie looked at the messages that kept appearing and thought to himself, oh my god, are all these guild bosses so open-minded?
You should know that issuing a server-wide announcement costs 100 taels of silver, which is more than one million yuan.
These three guilds are really arrogant. Just sending a congratulatory message costs more than one million.
But what about the three guilds congratulating Longxiang on its founding? Xiao Jie was a little puzzled, but after thinking about it for a while, he came up with a possibility.
He had also seen the information about these three guilds in Long Xiang's database.
These three guilds are all developing in Longhuazhou, and they are all quite powerful. Originally, the Aoao Niubi Empire was the strongest, but since the successful founding of the First Dynasty, it has expanded rapidly and has now become the largest guild in the game.
I heard that the other two guilds have united to fight against it, and the two sides are currently in a standoff stage.
Could it be that these three guilds are trying to attract outside help or intervene in the internal struggle?
No, judging from the messages they sent, the Aoao Niubi Empire seemed to have some thoughts in this regard, but the First Dynasty said it wanted to maintain the order of the game, and I'm afraid they don't want anyone to intervene in the civil war in Longhua Prefecture at all.
Maybe the First Dynasty has already gained the upper hand, so it sent such a soothing message to Long Xiang...
However, Xiao Jie did not waste too much time on this aspect. These were issues that Long Xingtianxia had to consider. At this moment, the founding ceremony was still going on.
When the governor saw Long Xingtianxia taking the dragon flag, he nodded slightly.
"General Long Xing, in the past I was the governor of a state and you were a general, so we were in a superior-subordinate relationship. Now that you have established your own country, you should address me as the ruler from now on.
Originally, given our status, I shouldn't take advantage of my age, but since it concerns the rise and fall of humanity, I have to give you some advice. If you are interested, then listen. If you insist on doing it your own way, it is your freedom."
Long Xingtianxia said respectfully: "If the governor has any instructions, please tell me."
"Haha, I don't dare to teach you, I can only say that it is some advice. When the Longhua Empire was established, Zulong swept across the world with his tyranny, swept through the seven states and annexed the eight wildernesses, and created the Longhua Empire's thousands of years of foundation."
However, the past is different from today. When the Longhua Empire was established, it was an era of strife among heroes. Zulong had to establish the country in a hegemonic way. Only by using strong military force could he intimidate the heroes and unify the world.
However, the population of Jiuzhou is now dwindling, the immortals have gone into seclusion, the people are scattered, the people are distressed, and humanity is already in decline. If we rashly resort to war and cause chaos again, I am afraid that the last bit of vitality of the human race in Jiuzhou will not be left.
In my opinion, General Long Xing should stand upright with the kingly way. If he can recover the lost territories, gather the refugees, subdue the demons, cleanse the world, and put the kingly way first, then there will be a brilliant future.
When the people are obedient and the king's army is in power, the people will be able to conquer the land wherever they go. Isn't that wonderful? It will also save the wars and the suffering of the people."
Long Xingtianxia said in a deep voice: "I will definitely keep in mind the teachings of the governor."
The governor nodded and said, "That's enough for you. Go ahead."
Long Xingtianxia walked back to the crowd, and everyone immediately surrounded him.
"Well, President, what are the functions of this national system?"
"President, can you make me a general? I just want to lead troops to fight."
"President, where do we get our territory? Isn't it said that once we establish a country, we can conquer the world?"
Faced with a series of inquiries, Long Xing Tianxia was helpless, "I am still researching it, everyone can open the national system and discuss it with each other."
After listening to this, Xiao Jie also clicked on the national system.
This system is new and will only be unlocked by those who join the nation.
【Longxiang Kingdom (the kingdom of common people)
Player identity: Civilian (no official position).
Job: None.
Country population: 237.
National capital: Not set.
National Territory: None.
Kingly value: 0/100%.
Domination value: 0/100%...】
Xiao Jie studied the national system and discussed it with other players. He quickly figured out some of the settings of this national system.
First is the national level. There are five levels of countries.
The country of common people - the country of states - the country of princes - the kingdom - the empire.
If a country wants to upgrade, it must meet certain conditions. The most basic ones are territory and population. A state must have at least one town as its territory.
A vassal state must control at least three towns.
A kingdom must have a state capital and four or more towns.
An empire must have at least five state capitals and 20 towns.
In addition to territory and population, another important data is the national influence value.
This influence value is divided into kingly value and domineering value.
You can gain hegemony points by expanding territory, capturing cities, conquering and killing, and competing with NPCs for territory.
Gathering refugees, retaking villages and towns from monster forces, clearing out monster nests, and reducing the danger level of the map can increase the kingly value.
When either the hegemony value or the kingly value reaches 100%, the task of national upgrading will be triggered. After meeting other conditions for national upgrading, the national level can be upgraded.
Different development paths will result in different political system changes when the country is upgraded.
If you establish a country by hegemony, the size of the army will become larger, the military technology will be more abundant, it will be easier to attract military NPCs to join, and you can even unlock more powerful units.
Those who establish a country based on the kingly way can improve the satisfaction of the residents of the territory, the speed of population growth, and the efficiency of wealth growth. They can also attract more civil servants to join, and even unlock hidden buildings and even wonders.
The two can basically be understood as the war flow and the farming flow.
In addition to these rewards, the most direct benefit of upgrading a country is that it can unlock more official positions.
Next is the official position system. All players are currently just civilians.
The ruler of the country, also known as Long Xing Tian Xia, can assign official positions to players. Of course, the number of official positions is limited. The higher the level of the country, the more official positions can be assigned.
After obtaining an official position, players can also unlock more advanced professions, official skills, government errands and other rewards. It can be said that there are many benefits.
Official positions are divided into two promotion routes: civil and military.
The civil servants start from clerks: clerk - military officer - secretary - vice minister - doctor - scholar - grand scholar - prime minister.
Military officers start from sergeant: sergeant - squad leader - centurion - colonel - lieutenant general - general - admiral - general.
However, since Longxiang is just a country of common people, the highest official positions are only assistant minister and colonel. The latter positions can only be unlocked after the country level is upgraded.
In addition to official positions, there are also state errands.
Official titles are job titles, while assignments are specific appointments. This depends on local conditions and is also divided into civil and military positions, such as civil assignments like village head or town head, or military assignments like militia captain or garrison officer.
However, since Long Xiang currently has neither territory nor army, it seems that he cannot be appointed.
Long Xing Tianxia specifically reminded: "Everyone has understood this official position system, right? After you get an official position, you can get many benefits. You haven't had time to redeem the points before. Let me say this in particular. When we have an army and territory in the future, a batch of official positions can be redeemed with points. The specific price will be studied later. If you want to be an official, don't waste your points."
This official position system can be said to have given him a great help. Before, he was still worrying about how to redeem the points for everyone. If he just exchanged them for silver, it would still be a bit lacking. Official positions would be much better.
Anyway, these official positions will be appointed from the people in the guild, which is a good way to recover some points and save some money.
"This national system is not much different from what I understood before. So it seems that the governor wants us to follow the path of kingship. It just so happens that the Niwang Seal I got before can double the kingship value, and the farming efficiency will naturally double as well. What do you think?"
Hong Fu Qi Tian was the first to agree, "The kingly way is good. There is no need to fight to the death, and fewer people will die. We should quickly eliminate the monsters and recover the lost territory. We have recovered a village before, but it was unfortunately occupied by monsters again. We are familiar with the route now. These recovered territories will be our country's territory, and we will not have to fight with NPCs for territory, and will not make enemies with the governor."
He agreed with both hands. After all, if there was a war, he might have to risk his life again.
Farming is still fun.
But there are also those who want to fight, such as Yulong Zaitian, "How cool it is to be so domineering. To manage a territory, you need to invest money first. Building one village after another is time-consuming, laborious, and expensive. It is better to attack existing towns directly.
By the way, President, why don’t we find a way to capture the state capital directly, that would be so cool! "
"What a joke! How many people will die?" Hongfu Qitian said unhappily.
Everyone spoke, some agreed and some disagreed, but overall, more people supported Wang Daoliu. After all, from a visual point of view, Wang Daoliu seemed more upright.
When people play games, they mostly play the role of heroes to save the world, and of course they prefer the orthodox route.
Xiao Jie also agreed with Wang Daoliu. He looked around, and although he had not counted carefully, based on his past observations, he knew that there were at least several thousand NPC defenders in Xiaofeng City.
It is not an easy task for them to capture the city with just over 200 people.
It's not that there is no chance at all, but if a fight really breaks out, there will definitely be a lot of casualties.
Moreover, the level of the governor is not low. Although it seems that the civil servants have little combat power, there are countless powerful NPCs in Xiaofeng City. If it is like when the monsters attacked the village, the governor gives an order and thousands of people follow, and these NPCs all join the battle, it will be even more difficult to fight.
In comparison, it is easier to snatch the village from monsters.
Seeing that most people supported it, Long Xing Tianxia stopped talking nonsense and said, "In that case, let's follow the royal way. Regardless of whether it is the royal way or the hegemonic way, the most urgent task is to recruit players. We still have too few people now.
Once there are more people, it will be easier to do anything. First, recapture some villages as territories, recruit refugees, and build an army. It will be more convenient to fight a war with an army. At that time, the soldiers can be used as cannon fodder, and we players will be responsible for command, which can reduce unnecessary casualties.
I have arranged for Sihai to recruit soldiers in Beiming Province, but he has too few people and can only take care of Izumo City, the capital of Beiming Province.
Other towns have no control over it.
The most urgent task is to determine the development route of our territory and choose a place to be the capital.
Both the kingly way and the overbearing way can obtain towns, but the methods of obtaining them are different. The overbearing way is simpler. You can directly apply for a siege, and then take the city down. You need to defeat the NPC army of the current town, which is a military seizure.
The kingly way is more troublesome. You need to complete various tasks on the map where the town belongs, recapture villages, eliminate monster forces, and rescue refugees. In short, you just need to be a good person and do good things.
This will increase the public support value. Once the public support value reaches 100%, there is a high probability that local officials will choose to surrender and actively join the Longxiang Kingdom camp, which is equivalent to peaceful evolution.
If it is the orthodox style, it is basically this type.
This surprised Xiao Jie a little.
"President, if we win the hearts of the people and seek to seize the town, won't the governor stop us?"
Long Xing Tianxia said: "No, the governor's duty is to protect the border and the people, not to dominate the world. The governor does not have the right to rule, only the right to manage. As long as my reputation is high enough, maybe the governor will directly surrender to me."
Zilong Wushuang suddenly said: "I understand, the kingly way is Liu Bei earning Xuzhou, and the governor is Tao Qian. As long as we are honest and have a high enough reputation, the governor will directly give us the land.
Being a tyrant is like being Cao Cao, conquering by force, and only when you conquer something do you count; the strong are respected."
Xiao Jie thought that Zilong Wushuang's summary was quite accurate.
Long Xing Tianxia said: "Yes, that's the case. Therefore, the first map we develop is very important. After all, it is our first territory and also our base in the early stage. We need to consider the subsequent development issues. Which city do you think is better to start with?"
Yulong Zai Tian said: "That must be our Tianshui Town. It is surrounded by mountains and rivers and has a strategic location. As long as we can capture Tianshui City, we will be invincible."
Xiao Bailong said, "Forget it. Tianshui City has no resources. It's useless to build a country there. We can't even support an army. We will have to rely on NPCs to fight in the future. The richer the better.
Our Luoyang Town is the foundation of the kingship. The surrounding Luoyang Plain is a hundred miles of fertile land, and there are villages everywhere. Once we take it, the grain output will definitely not be low. With grain, there will be population. At that time, we can directly explode the army and sweep across the country."
But someone refused to do it, and that was Bahamut - originally Tyrannosaurus was the branch president, but Tyrannosaurus died, and now he became the branch president.
“Luoyang City is located in a plain, with no strategic location to defend. If we get into a fight with other guilds, we’ll be easily surrounded.
Although Tianshui City is strategically located, it is short of resources. I think it is better to choose our Sanshan City. Sanshan City is located between three peaks. It is a place where transportation converges and commerce is developed. It can make a lot of money just by collecting taxes. Moreover, the terrain is also very strategically located. It happens to block the road leading to Longhua Prefecture. If we occupy this land, we can attack or defend. It is a strategically located place. "
"No, our Taurus City is the best..."
Many people proposed, especially the branch presidents of the six towns, each of them proposed to make their own territory the capital and the starting town.
The reason is not difficult to understand. If the location of his branch becomes the capital, then he will be equivalent to the mayor of the imperial city. His rank will definitely be much higher than that of ordinary branch presidents...
Long Xing Tian Xia seemed to have already had an idea.
"Everyone's ideas are good, but everyone has overlooked one problem, that is Beiming Province. Our current main goal is to take over the two states. Currently, Fengyin Province is almost all our territory, so it is naturally easy to develop.
However, Beiming Province is still relatively unfamiliar to us. If we want to take it over quickly, the best way is to place the capital on the territory of Beiming Province and use it as a base to quickly radiate the entire Beiming Province.
Therefore, the first town must be located in Beiming Province."
I think Qiansong Town is a good choice. It is located at the junction of two states. It is also the birthplace of our Longxiang. With Qiansong Town as the capital, it will be easy to expand northwards and take over Beiming State.
I will lead a main force northwards and at the same time draw experts from the six town branches to ensure that there are enough manpower.
The first step is to establish branches in various towns in Beiming Province, recruit people with all your strength, and then gather the main forces around Qiansong Town to start building up popularity and kingly value.
Strive to obtain the first territory within half a month, and then gradually expand northwards...
"President, what should we do with Fengyinzhou?" Hongfu Qitian suddenly asked.
"Fengyin Province is equally important. Although the meat is ours, it is not safe until we eat it. I decided to arrange a vice president to take full charge of the expansion affairs here and establish the second main group at the same time.
Because a large number of experts will be transferred north, the task here will be heavier. Fortunately, Fengyin Prefecture is our old nest, so the problem should not be big. We just need a group of experts to take the lead, otherwise it will not be so easy to take down the monster's nest.
In the future, the first main group will expand the territory in Beimingzhou, and the second main group will take over all the territory in Fengyinzhou. With the land of the two states in hand, the hegemony can be achieved. "
Hong Fu Qi Tian praised: "That's a good idea, but who will be the leader of the second regiment?"
Xiao Jie found it interesting. The two of them sang in unison, a bit like they were performing a double act. Wasn't it possible that this had been planned in advance?
By the way, who will be appointed as the leader of the second regiment?
Dragon in the Sky? Zilong Wushuang? Bahamut?
I don't think they are very reliable.
In fact, Longteng Sihai is more suitable, after all, he is the deputy leader. Unfortunately, this person is the main tank of the main group, and he must follow the president to conquer the world in Beiming Province.
Among the remaining people, I feel like something is missing.
But Long Xingtianxia suddenly looked at him and said, "Brother Suifeng, are you interested in being the leader of the Second Regiment?"
