Chapter 48 Suppression
There is no doubt that players are the masters of the game. There is no doubt that players will be the dominant players in the future, because this is a game. Without players, the game will be done.
But in the same way, the game cannot be followed by the players' wishes. If that happens, the game will end faster and you will torture the players hard when necessary. Players are a very cheap creature. They will curse the game as they are disgusting and the brain's slutty, but they will continue to play day and night.
So, what is the most terrifying thing about players? I will never die? The more I fight, the stronger I will be? The number of people is large? Despicable and shameless?
All of the above are correct!
Of course, for Fang Zhiwen, what makes players most trouble him is that there are too many people, and it doesn’t matter if they live. At most, they just raise prices, monopolize certain drugs or equipment materials, and then compete for resources.
Ranger players are nothing. They are just some golden piggy jars in the city. The forbidden martial arts order in the city has left these guys who violated the ban on martial arts at all. If you want to resolve the grudges and revenge in the world, or if you want to do a hero and righteous way, please go outside the city. However, these powerful individuals go outside the city and face Fang Zhiwen's cavalry team above, even if they gather in a large group, they are still like ants. In front of the battle formation, Rangers and other things are all floating clouds.
The only one who can cause trouble to Fang Zhiwen and make him afraid are the lords and generals type players.
Why do games need these types of players? In fact, it’s very simple, money!
Rich or powerful people can play lords and generals, because they have to pay for this type of game, build territory, recruit soldiers, train famous generals, and fight for the world to dominate, and fight for money. This principle is money now even primary school students understand.
What about the Ranger players? They can pay some money, but they won’t spend a lot of money. However, they like games and people in the era of the Three Kingdoms, so they took another angle to participate. Of course, Rangers can also be transformed into generals at any time, such as being recruited by the system or being recruited by players. Therefore, the number of such players is also very large. While they are training themselves, they are waiting for the opportunity to participate in the game more deeply.
Most of the players in life come to this game to work and earn money, and many of them are even hired by studios. For example, Hongyan Studio has thousands of peripheral employees, specializing in life-related players. These people are actually not considered players, they should be staff.
Having said so much, let’s talk about serious things now, Fang Zhiwen’s headache is the uncontrolled player territories in the Miyun Secret Path. The taxes in these territories are basically not accepted by him, but most of them are taken away by Yuyang County. However, the risks that these player territories may bring are subject to Miyunsai.
So how to remove these cancers? Destruction is of course the most direct, but after the destruction, new applicants will appear, and the destruction itself will have a price. Therefore, the best way is to suppress it, and always make these territories unable to develop, making these territories become useless, and they are reluctant to throw them away, and they are not strong. After four years, the Yellow Turbans will rise, and Fang Zhiwen can sweep the territories of these players and turn them into their own cows.
So how can this strategic concept be realized? The way Fang Zhiwen can think of now is to turn the Miyun Secret Pass into a bandit's nest, let the Miyun Secret Pass be filled with powerful horses and bandits, kill all generals and lords cruising in the Secret Pass, prevent players from effectively mobilizing and gathering, and then harass the players' territory, prevent their resources from collecting and producing, prevent their population from growing naturally, prevent their village index from increasing, and destroying those urban defense facilities with weak defense power. The ultimate goal is to turn these territories into a territory that can only be invested but not produced, and develop extremely slowly.
The existence of a large number of bandits actually helped Fang Zhiwen secretly raise a large number of mobile troops. When it was suitable, he would go out to grab a round. Who doesn’t like to do such a thing that can kill multiple goals in one fell swoop?
"Lord, according to this plan, we need to support at least 30,000 standing troops. Now the 16,000 troops are under great pressure on logistics. As the lord's strategic layout gradually takes shape, more than 30,000 mobile troops are definitely needed. In this way, it is impossible for Miyunsai to produce self-sufficient food. Moreover, with the increase of Miyun's population and the increase of foreign population, food will become an important issue. In addition, there may be gaps in funds and equipment, which is very unfavorable for the long-term development of the city."
After Tian Chou calculated it, he raised serious questions about the lord's strategic concept. Without food and silver, all the so-called great concepts are bullshit. The implication is that the lord is in a state of war.
Fang Zhiwen raised his eyebrows, looked at Tian Chou, who was at a loss, and then looked at Xiangxiang again. Her little brows were also frowning tightly. Fang Zhiwen looked a little funny. As for generals such as Zheluo, they only knew the reason but did not know why, and could not give any good suggestions.
"Hehe, Zitai, you are too pessimistic! There are two ways to solve this dilemma. The first is to use Yiren to purchase grain from them, because they have a special postal system. I think as long as the operation is appropriate, some of them should be solved; the other way, you have to know, we are raising bandits, what do they do, there is no food and silver? There is no food and silver to rob! Go to rob the wild monsters, go to rob the Yiren, go to Wuhuan people, go to rob the Xianbei people... In short, one word, let's rob whatever is missing!"
"Well……"
"Yes, brother is so awesome!"
"Master wise!"
"Yes, rob him of the damn!"
"Li Yuanzhi, Zheluo, Yan Minzhi, Yuwen Feng, Duan Zhigang, I will order you to join five people, each commanding two thousand troops to clean up the strange troops and wild monsters in the secret passage of the Miyun and 20 miles away from the Miyun Fortress. The time is one week. Let's calculate the harvest and see if we can use war to support the troops. Is this OK?"
"The two strategies can be run in parallel!" Tian Chou nodded in agreement.
"In addition, Zitai continued to ask Mr. Liu for help through Sun Jin, asking for food, money and people, and asking for whatever we can get. Otherwise, we will be so poor that we have no choice, and we will not be able to help but run to the grassland to steal the Wuhuan people. It will be bad if we make any unhappiness later."
"Haha, Chou understands!"
"Also, tilt resources towards defensive facilities. If Wuhuan doesn't come this fall, we will drag him over. If they don't come, how can we get promoted?"
It turns out that this is how the generals stationed in the border areas want to fight? Without war, there would be no chance of promotion, so Lu Fengxian, the god of war in the Three Kingdoms, would hate Ding Yuan! If you don’t let someone fight, how can you be promoted?
Speaking of which, Lu Fengxian should have become famous outside Yanmen Pass now, right? I wonder if any player can kill him and make his dungeon, but it should be impossible. The system will definitely have unusual means of protecting these historical generals. It is actually very difficult to kill a historical general unless he should have died at that time.
Similarly, it is not easy for a damn historical general to keep it. To change his destiny, it undoubtedly requires huge strength.
"Lord, Yan Rou has a letter. I hope that if we have the ability, it is best to raid the rear of the Xianbei people. Now the Xianbei has been attacking outside the Shanggu Pass, and Yan Rou has suffered a lot of losses."
"I understand. I will order Shangguan Wenxian and Jiang Jianfang to lead the troops of the headquarters to Zhizhong's subordinates to obey the orders. Let Zhizhong take action. It's okay to get some from the Xianbei people, but self-protection is the first. Now there are only a few second-level trained by my subordinates, so they cannot be easily damaged."
"Chou will arrange food, grass and equipment."
Fang Zhiwen knocked on the book: "Very good, let me summarize again. At this stage, our most important enemy is the Yiren in the Miyun Secret Path. Secondly, we are preparing to carry out active defense battles inside and outside the Secret Path in autumn, and then we are plundering more, more resources and population. Everyone, the future of Miyun Fortress and the future of the grassland are all on your shoulders. Please be careful!"
"I dare not act as a result of my life!"
"Very good, let's break up."
"Zi Tai, please keep it. Xiangxiang, if you are impatient, go play first."
Xiangxiang was in a dilemma for a while. Her brother went out for more than a month and finally came back. Xiangxiang was a little obsessed, so she hesitated for a while and decided to stay by her brother's side.
After all the generals went down, Tian Chou walked up casually and knelt across from Fang Zhiwen.
"Zi Tai, starting today, adjust the residency costs of the barracks outside the city."
"Chou understands, how about double it first?"
"But if they continue to increase their troops, they will be our enemy. Then continue to increase. I want to see how much money they are going to spend with me?"
"Will this lead to the hatred of Yi Ren?"
"If you don't hate, why do they look at those positions? Zitai, you must understand that we are born to be enemies of Yiren, and this will never change, unless one day we all become vassals of Yiren. Even then, most Yiren are still our enemies, do you understand?"
Tian Chou's face changed and he nodded solemnly: "Chou remember!"
Fang Zhiwen gently tapped the case and looked at Xiangxiang with warm eyes: "The only ones we can trust are Xiangxiang and City Lord Li. Even her subordinates cannot fully believe it. Zitai, this world is difficult to survive, you go."
"Chou... understand!" Tian Chou stood up, bowed firmly and left.
Xiangxiang came to Fang Zhiwen's side, followed Fang Zhiwen's arm, and silently accompanied Fang Zhiwen.
Fang Zhiwen turned his head and looked at Xiangxiang. Xiangxiang, who was dressed in ancient costume, had the temperament of a lady in the Han Dynasty. Of course, she also had the charm of a pretty girl. Fang Zhiwen rubbed her head in love, and Xiangxiang was so obedient that she squinted her eyes comfortably.
"It must be boring to trap you in the city."
"No, Xiangxiang has a lot of friends who are too busy every day. There is nothing fun outside the city. I'm tired of seeing the mountains and grasslands."
"Haha, right? When the autumn war is over, I will take Xiangxiang to the Central Plains to take a good look at the flower world of the Central Plains. If I don't take this opportunity to see it, I will be ruined in the future, right?"
"Of course! Brother, do you believe what I said? Those guys from Taipingdao are really not good people!"
"Of course I believe that if I don't even believe my sister, then who else can I believe?"
"Brother is the best!"
[Talk about the attribute menu again. I said last time that the word count of the attribute menu is outside the main text. Not to mention that it is not on the shelves now, even if it is on the shelves, I will never use the attribute menu to occupy the word count. It is definitely the free part. In addition, the plot must have ups and downs. If it is always so tight, everyone will be tired soon. Therefore, you must be patient when reading books. As long as the tone and literary talent of the book are in line with your appetite, I believe that it will not disappoint you. By the way, please vote.]
