The Rise of History’s Most Powerful Empire Chapter 66: The land of 2 counties
After , things were much simpler. There was a successful case before, and all the checkpoints in the county were opened by myself using the previous method.
did not take much effort, and even the lost soldiers were very few, only a few dozen. However, during the Taiping period, there were not many soldiers at the checkpoints, and generally there were only dozens or hundreds of soldiers.
There are a total of five levels in the three county towns. Except for the two more important ones, which are lined up with two hundred guards, the other three small towns have one hundred guards.
Within the five levels, there are about 500 surrender soldiers. This is a big hidden danger. In order to prevent Zhong Yu, he ordered all of them to be killed.
I was tense in strength, and couldn't separate too many soldiers to guard these prisoners. In order to avoid unnecessary troubles and accidents, it was better to kill them all to avoid future troubles.
In order to defend against those levels, Zhong Yu separated 700 people and reduced the size of his army by a large circle. He only had five hundred infantry and one hundred cavalry, although those captives had contributed 20 luck points after being killed by himself.
But it was just a supplement to the number of soldiers consumed by several wars, and there was not much gain.
After some rushing and killing, I have reached Changli County, the northernmost of the three counties.
This is a large county with a relatively large area, about 1.5 times that of a general county. And it’s in a dangerous place, with many levels, and three of the five levels are within its territory.
population? Because there are mountains and ridges everywhere, and arable land is relatively scarce, most of the villagers in the county live on fishing and hunting.
So there are not too many, it is only 178,000 people! And he is now in the easternmost part of the county, which is the most majestic checkpoint, Yunguan position.
Yunguan guards the communication between Hanzhong County and Nanyang County. On the left is the Hanshui branch. The usual connection can be achieved by water transportation. If it weren't for Yunguan, where the cliffs are thousands of feet, there are dangerous peaks all around.
Zhong Yu really doesn't know how to guard, such a well-connected place. But it is also a natural wonder. With such an important checkpoint, it is really one man who can do it.
As long as hundreds of his soldiers are placed on Yunguan, his tens of thousands of troops will not be able to open, and he can sit back and relax in Hanzhong.
But in such a dangerous place, it is too dangerous to be given to the leader by a county. Still put him in the county alone, separated from Changli County.
, divide the area of Changli County into an ordinary county standard! The extra half is divided into Yun County, although the area is smaller, only half of the normal county.
But it has a dangerous terrain and well-developed transportation, so it can be said to be a major military town, so it's not too much trouble.
Since I have decided to divide it into the county, I still need to cut down the fifty-mile radius around this area and divide it into the territory of Yun County.
The army set off, rolling heads along the way, unceasing blood and killing, using countless bones to forge the foundation of his rule in Yun County.
In just one day, I sorted out the surrounding areas of Yunxian County, which belonged to the remote areas of the poor villages.
Because the surrounding cultivated land is relatively scarce, and the gentry is based on farming and studying, so the number of gentry is relatively small, there are only three.
Zhong Yu, those troops who had experience in cleaning the family, completed the task very quickly. All the aristocratic families add up to no more than 1,000 people.
is only twice the size of my own army. Killing is no better than killing pigs. People are often waiting to be killed, and they don’t even need to do it themselves.
will kill each other, and killing is much easier than killing pigs. Adults only need to swipe the vital points of their necks, but to kill pigs, they have to work hard and cut a few more knives to kill them.
In short, it was very easy and did not encounter much resistance, so I calmed down the entire territory of Yunxian and successfully established Yunxian.
Killing those people gained another 40 luck points and summoned 80 soldiers. The number of ordinary soldiers of his own has successfully expanded to six hundred.
He took 100 cavalry and 600 infantry to Changli County. Although the number of people is a bit small, it is barely enough to win this city.
Eight days later, Zhong Yuping settled Changli County, Xunyang County, Xi County, and Wuling County. He killed five thousand noble clans in the four counties and obtained 200 luck points, and his footsteps stopped.
intends to take a few days off, and wait until this month has passed and get the luck value, and then continue on the expedition.
Two hundred fortunes were used to exchange for four hundred soldiers, and the exchanged soldiers were stationed in two counties, with two hundred people in each county.
The newly-built Yunxian is located in a dangerous place. It can be said that it is its gateway to the northeast, and must be guarded by heavy troops. Therefore, Zhong Yu left five hundred people down, so that he could send troops to support Yunguan in an emergency.
I took the remaining 100 cavalry and 100 ordinary soldiers and went to station in Xicheng County. At that time, as soon as the luck point is reached, you can directly redeem your troops and horses, so you don't have to rush to this place from the back.
With time to rest, Zhong Yu once again planned his territory division carefully.
Fangling County has only four counties, which is too small. We still divide Changli County and Yun County into it together, so that Fangling County has six counties, which is barely considered a medium-sized county, with a population of 80,000.
But the one county in Xicheng is too large, with the usual three or four counties, which is not conducive to governance, so it is divided into three counties.
are Shiquan County, Ankang County, Jinchuan County, plus the original Xunyang County, Xi County, and Wuling County. A total of six counties have been built into a Xicheng County ~ IndoMTL.com ~ with a population of about 70,000.
According to the system, a county governs 3 to 7 townships, a county governs 3 to 7 counties, a prefecture governs 3 to 7 counties, a state governs 3 to 7 prefectures, and a Dao governs 3 to 7 Three states and one domain govern 3 to 7 roads.
And the country corresponds to the division of counties and counties above according to the size of the territory. They are the male country at the county level, the child country at the county level, the prefecture at the prefecture level, the candidate country at the state level, the principality at the dao level, and the kingdom at the domain level.
Now I have two counties, plus there are six counties in Hanzhong, which can be divided into one county, so I have three counties, barely counted as the smallest county. It’s a great country.
is coming soon. Tomorrow will be a month later. Now, if you add up all of your territory, there are about 150,000 people. You can also get six hundred luck points in one month, which can be used to summon soldiers who can get 1200.
At that time, he will have his 1,400 soldiers to go out. The Hanzhong County, where Nanzheng County is ruled, is the center of the entire Hanzhong County, with the most gentry. Kill him yourself, at least 20,000 people will kill him, and then he will be 800 soldiers with 1,600 luck.
Such a calculation, I have about 3,000 of his energy that can be used to calm down the six counties, more than enough.
Time passed slowly, and one day had passed in the blink of an eye, and he had also reaped his six hundred fortune points. Without the slightest hesitation, Zhong Yu had all used it to exchange soldiers.
As for the governance of the two counties under oneself, it can be resolved after the entire Hanzhong county is occupied by oneself.
When the sun was rising again, Zhong Yu led his 1,400 soldiers slowly towards the east portal of Nanzheng County, Chenggu County.
