Ming Dynasty: Summoning game players at the beginning

Chapter 201 Three Families Divide "Jin"

"Anyone who transports food and supplies, carries guns and sets up artillery, and assists our beggar army in attacking the city and capturing strongholds, go to the west gate to receive the reward..."

When the people heard that rewards were to be distributed, their spirits were greatly boosted, regardless of whether they assisted the rebels or not.

Regardless of whether they had food at home or not, whether they had made contributions or not, or whether they were simply bastards who refused to take advantage of the opportunity, they all flocked to the designated location.

Wang Chengqi also followed his fellow villagers and crowded out of the city.

The west gate of the city was crowded with people. Tens of thousands of people were divided into several gathering places and handed over to the elite soldiers of the Qihuo Army for guarding.

Although the beggars were rewarded with food and money, many of them were refugees from other places who had fled famine, and their frail bodies were like broken toys that were about to fall apart.

Even if the beggars gave them food, their fragile bodies were unable to carry the food back home.

It would be better to wait until the internal meeting of the Qihuo Army is over and the trivial matters related to the legion are sorted out, and then let the Huguang Legion's rural teams assist the people to return home.

For now, we should keep the foreign people for a few more days, so that they can have enough food and drink to recuperate, and they will have more energy when they set off.

Therefore, when Wang Chengqi arrived at Guanxiang, what he saw was not bags of grain, but dozens of steaming pots.

As for the worry that someone will take advantage of the situation and eat the food that should belong to the "heroes", that is groundless worry.

Every civilian who made a contribution received a special bamboo token.

Even if someone accidentally loses it, they can regain recognition through the identification of servants and militiamen.

All the "heroes" used bamboo chips to exchange for rewards, and Wang Chengqi successfully obtained two taels of silver.

It is said that when the beggars went to the countryside, each "meritorious official" was given two dan of brown rice, and if there were elderly, weak, women or children in their families, three dou of rice would be added per person.

Wang Chengqi counted on his fingers for a long time before he figured out that he could get three stones and eight dou.

Hurrah.

Two taels of silver plus three stone and eight dou of brown rice, the whole family will live a better life this year!

The pickled vegetable porridge distributed by the beggars was very thick, and it was almost impossible to put chopsticks in it. It was ten times better than the relief food provided by the government.

Wang Chengqi was holding a bowl of thick pickled vegetable porridge, feeling a little overwhelmed. His eyes were hot and swollen, as if something was about to burst out.

Just this bowl of thick pickled vegetable porridge with a hint of meat flavor is better than what he has eaten at home in the past few months.

He thought of his wife, children and mother at home, and really wanted to let them enjoy the blessings they had now.

He hoped that the rebel army would reach Gucheng as soon as possible so that his entire village could be ruled by the great ruler.

If the beggar army comes, shouldn't the payment of grain and taxes be fairer in the future?
"Suck it...suck it..."

He held the bowl of rice and inhaled it frantically, making rice specks all over the tip of his nose.

His funny look as if he wanted to eat the bowl made his fellow villagers laugh.

But the fellow villager himself was not much better. He was just like the skinny black pigs raised in the village, licking the porridge in the bowl frantically.

The faint smell of minced meat was a rare meaty dish that Wang Chengqi had tasted this year.

After eating a full bowl of thick porridge, Wang Chengqi acted as if he had eaten nothing and wanted to have two more bowls to fill his stomach.

However, Yibing said that people who have not had enough food for a long time will die if they eat too much at one time, so they will not be given extra porridge and will wait until the next meal.

Wang Chengqi gently stroked his stomach, which had been soothed by the salty porridge, and lay happily in the simple camp, looking at the sunset gradually setting in the sky.

I really hope tomorrow will come soon so that I can eat the thick porridge distributed by the volunteers again.

……

As night falls, the volunteers and civilians fall into a deep sleep. The players' real lives are just beginning.

Today is a pleasant Saturday, and students and some workers do not need to go to work.

Players from the Western Theater Command and the Southern Theater Command happened to have time to get together in a group to discuss the "separation" matter.

Logically speaking, there is strength in numbers, and the brothers can stay together.

However, the rewards for the system division are generous: war zone rewards, legion bonuses, periodic gain bonuses, and main task bonuses.

If everyone is in a legion, except for special rewards and great merit rewards, regular bonus rewards will be divided equally among everyone.

Is a piece of cake shared by two thousand people more or a piece of cake shared by six thousand people more?

Players’ nature is to make a small profit rather than a profit. If they don’t make a profit, they will lose money. If they don’t take the reward, are they still players?
Currently, the Qihuo Army and the Huguang Guerrillas total 6,600 people.

Divided equally, there are three legions, each with 2,200 people.

There is no problem in evenly distributing the number of legions. Both Henan and Hubei have abundant fighting opportunities, and the short-term rewards of the newly added legions are higher than those of the old legions.

The downside is that such a split will weaken the overall combat effectiveness of the legion.

Someone suggested: put the old players in a legion and use them as a mobile force to capture cities and territories.

The other two legions guarded the north and south of the territory respectively. Regardless of whether the novice legion had the strength to advance, at least it would be no problem to block the government army's encirclement and suppression of the army and wait for the mobile elite to arrive.

The old players rejected it on the spot: According to the new official rules, the proportion of old players who have fought in each legion for more than half a year must not be less than 25%.

And even without this game mechanism, the combat experience of new players is very poor. When it is good, it is very good, and when it is bad, it is very bad. It is simply the two extremes of strength and weakness.

If a legion were to allocate all new players, the entire force would be wasted. However, it is still possible to allocate some of the force.

After all, Hubei Province in the Southern Theater Command is a newly opened copy, and it guards the southern gate of Henan Province, so the military pressure is relatively high.

Henan already controls two prefectures and one state.

A player who seldom checks the group chat said: Hey, isn't the Beggar Army only in Runing Prefecture and Ruzhou? When did Nanyang Prefecture appear?

The professional posed an inverted question mark: "On the same day our special forces arrived in Xiangyang, our brother troops captured the entire city of Nanyang. The Tang King's family was wiped out, and the governor and the commander were nowhere to be found. It is unknown whether they died or escaped."

The extermination of the Tang Emperor's family has caused some players to exclaim: "Is Emperor Longwu Zhu Youjian dead just like that? I think he was a pretty good ruler for the Southern Ming Dynasty, so at least let him live so he can be used in future overseas colonizations."

The history guy reassured him: "Don't worry, your Emperor Longwu is not dead. In history, he organized his own troops to defend the throne, but was demoted to a commoner by Chongzhen and is now imprisoned in Fengyang. The murdered King Tang was Zhu Youjian's younger brother, so don't worry."

The 2D guy took the opportunity to go off topic: Speaking of colonization, I really want to invade Japan. I want to transform Japan into my ideal 2D country.

Another person chimed in: "Add one." It would be great if the game officially added a lord feature. My requirements aren't high; I'd just like to be a daimyo with a rank of ten thousand stones. Every day, I'd enjoy watching dances and listening to songs, having maids warm my bed at night, and having my wives and concubines whisper good morning to me when I wake up. Wow, this life is truly wonderful.

The tough men, however, didn't care: a true man would conquer the Pacific, head to the New World to seize land under the sun for future generations. America, Australia, everything will become our new Kyushu!
Another player: Fight for the new Kyushu and expand the territory for the emperor!
So a group of people below clicked on "Add one to repeat", and the screen was filled with nearly a hundred messages.

The group leader quickly muted the group members: "This is off topic! This is off topic! We're discussing the division of the legions, why are you bringing up Japan and America? You haven't even taken the core territories yet, and you're already looking at other people's pots before you've finished eating your own, right?"
By the way, I am an anti-Japanese person, and I want to be the first Chief Executive of the Japanese Special Administrative Region!

Administrator: Good fellow, the group leader is taking the lead in smuggling private goods. I am a member of the Indian colonial faction!

After the group owner lifted the ban on group members, everyone expressed the areas they wanted to play.

Such plans as colonizing Australia, permanently dismembering India, conquering Central Asia, and even some people want to play the role of God's hammer and sweep across Europe.

As for Britain, which was not qualified to colonize America and India and was destined to become a second- or third-rate country, it was just the right place to appoint a "European lackey" to the position of a troublemaker, responsible for monitoring and exploiting Europe on behalf of China...

The group members went off topic for more than 200 times until someone posted some erotic pictures and short videos. Everyone drained out the chaotic thoughts in their brains and their minds were occupied by sage mode, and then they returned to the main topic of the legion.

Although Henan established two legions, the First Legion and the Fourth Legion, they skirted the rules of the game and divided the troops into two thousand each.

The Third Corps, responsible for the Southern Theater, was allocated 2,600 personnel.

A legion is solely responsible for the strategy of a province, and has the most freedom and combat opportunities, which is why more people will participate in the Third Legion.

Even if the Third Legion also wants to kill the vassal kings, it will not have to worry about not having pigs to slaughter.

There were also the King of Chu in Wuchang, the King of Hui in Jingzhou, the King of Jing in Qizhou, the King of Rong in Changde, the King of Ji in Changsha, the King of Gui in Hengzhou, and the King of Min in Wugang throughout the province of Huguang.

Of course, in addition to the players' allocation, there are also attendants, cavalry, militia, weapons, armor, muskets, bows and arrows, cannons and other armed forces.

The Third Legion was allocated a total of 3,000 attendants, 30,000 militiamen, 1,000 cavalrymen, and equipment that accounted for 30% of the total weapons. The remaining soldiers, horses, and armor would be taken by other legions.

After the three families divided "Jin", they immediately began the most important naming process.

Players showed off their skills one after another, and various legion names from ancient and modern times, both Chinese and foreign, emerged one after another.

There were the Yulin Army, the Black Armor Army, the Wei Wuzu, the advanced Beifu Army of the Qihuo Army, the foreign Lobster Soldiers, the Old Guards, the Roman Legion that made the Elite Luo cry, and even some legions from cultural works, such as the Wild Wolf Army of the Space Wolves and the Blue Turban Army of the Ultramarines...

There were so many legion names that the group owner had to put some of them into the group for voting.

The Third Legion quickly decided on a name—"Eternal Life Army"

The proposer said that since the Beggars' Army begged for a way to survive for the people, the Immortality Army should open up a longer path for the people to survive.

There was a fierce battle for the name of the Fourth Legion. The number of votes for several middle school names continued to rise. In the end, the middle school Hammer Guy was the better one and decided the name of the Fourth Legion.

"Wild Wolf Army"

The proposer explained: The First Legion's beggar army is already a powerful main force, and is also in the hearts of the people.

Then the Fourth Legion, which has a weaker combat power and reputation, should use wolf pack tactics like wild wolves, with all members scattered all over the place to prevent the enemy from leaving the city or going to the countryside, from traveling on official roads at night, or from passing through the woods.

Once the Wild Wolf Army discovers the main force of a powerful enemy, they will immediately howl to call their allies and concentrate their superior forces to defeat the enemy.

In name, the Third and Fourth Legions respect the Qihuo Army as their leader, but in reality, they are all fighting around the main missions issued by the leader.

So far, four legions have been established in the entire server.

"The First Legion: Beggars"

The Second Legion: Beiwei Army

The Third Legion: Immortality Army

"Fourth Legion: Wild Wolf Army"

……

The next morning, Wang Chengqi woke up from his sleep.

The "Eternal Life Army", which had completed its internal integration, dispatched troops to the countryside to take over the counties and villages around Xiangyang Prefecture by force.

Wang Chengqi was also fortunate enough to return home with a team of a thousand people.

Wang Chengqi's share of the grain bags transported by the team included one.

Smelling the smell of grain emanating from the carriage, Wang Chengqi felt that his future life was full of hope.

The family can finally have enough food to eat, and my mother’s illness has been cured!
