Chapter 373 Development of the Territory

It has been three days since I returned to my territory.

In the past few days, Zhang Qiang has been wandering in his manor, taking a panoramic view of the changes in the manor.

The manor is built according to the pattern of the original Uludana village.

As the only chief craftsman in the manor, Francois, he is very good at equipment manufacturing, some weapon modification, and equipment repair, but he really doesn't know much about architecture.

Fortunately, there is still Zhang Qiang's manor template in Uludana Village for reference.

Therefore, what Zhang Qiang sees now is a replica of the previous Uludana village manor.

Extended version.

Because Zhang Qiang was only a knight at the Uludana Village Manor at that time, now he is two large ranks higher than a knight, and a dozen small ranks. Of course, he can build a larger and more majestic building.

Perhaps inspired by the fact that Malega Fort is built on the mountain, the expansion of the manor extends to the foot of Cass Mountain, blocking the road that originally extended from Malega Fort.

So the road had to be diverted across the manor and through the clearing between the village of Tusculum and the manor.

And it was expanded to form a parallel road with four horses and carts. Simply put, it can accommodate two cars traveling in opposite directions without interfering with each other. This road only extends for more than ten miles from Zhang Qiang's territory in Tusculum. Land, because Zhang Qiang's territory is so big.

If you go out again, it will not be Zhang Qiang's direct territory, but the territory of his family's Fort Malaga.

The road is centered on the village of Tusculum, forming a frame shape at both ends, and forming a T-shape in the west direction of Xiangzejia.

The two ends of the T-shaped horizontal pole extend to the Zejiaxi Pass on one side, leading to the hinterland of the Kujit Kingdom and the lowland basin plain; the other side leads to Lana City.

This side of the T is Tusculum.

The intersection of the top of the T-shape is connected with the path on the endless field, like a spider web, extending to all directions.

There are grassland trees on both sides of the road, which are relatively low, but they can adapt to the environment here, and can protect the road from the invasion of grassland weeds and burial by wind and sand.

The paved road with bluestone slabs makes driving very convenient and fast.

The patrol cavalry galloping back and forth made it extremely difficult to invade the territory of Tusculum Village by means of small infiltration.

There are six defensive fortresses arranged in the form of hexagonal stars on all sides of the territory of Tusculum Village, four of which belong to the hilly plain area. Ten farmers are stationed in each fortress, responsible for cooking and cleaning; Crossbowmen, ten light infantry, are responsible for defending the fortress; thirty cavalry units composed of rangers, scout cavalry, and heavy cavalry are responsible for patrolling the defense area and blocking the invasion of small enemy troops.

On the height of Tunbao is a beacon tower, and below the beacon tower is a watchtower that doubles as an archery tower.

There are two forts stationed on the extended ridge of Cass Mountain. They are responsible for guarding the enemies farther away. One side is to observe the direction of Fort Malaga and Lunwadia Fort. The other is to observe the side of Kujit Mountain and Lana , then add the west direction.

There are 20 farmers stationed in each fort here, responsible for cleaning, cooking, transporting supplies, and lighting beacon fires; 29 archers, 20 crossbowmen, and five scout cavalry are responsible for delivering messages; Infantry, responsible for defending the fort, 20 heavy infantry, responsible for combat.

These six fortresses are replaced once a week. The replaced soldiers will be stationed at the manor, patrol the village for four days, and rest for the remaining three days. They will receive training during the rest time, and the training will only be for half a day.

Other troops in the manor have to be rotated, maybe the tax collecting troops will go on patrol, maybe the troops stationed in the manor will go to garrison the fort, maybe go out to scout the enemy, expel the enemy who wants to get close; only.

Troops above Tier [-] generally have to go out to take turns to clear the criminals around them, and also to protect the merchant team registered in the territory, because they are caravans protected by the territory, bringing huge taxes to the territory and maintaining the operation of the territory .

The manor is currently divided into three areas. The original inner village area of ​​the manor was inhabited by lords and nobles, and guarded by elite troops.

The other area is the agro-industrial area, where food and vegetables are grown, workshops are built, markets are built, there are also inns where merchants live, and taverns for entertainment.

The third area is the extension area, which is the original mining and logging area on the back of the mountain. At present, the forest inside has been cleared, and there is a large area for starting workshops, smelting ores, producing iron ingots, and making weapons. Horses are raised, used for cavalry training, infantry training, and garrison residences. There is a huge market where the three areas are connected, where merchants trade things.

It can be said that the entire manor has become a castle with the functions of a town.

The area of ​​the manor is getting bigger and bigger.

Due to the increase in the population of the territory, more soldiers can be recruited, so the trend of manors becoming castles is becoming more and more obvious.

After careful statistics, there are more than 1 civilians, and there are at least [-] available militia soldiers. After a little training, put on armor and take weapons for them, they are qualified recruits.

The infantry accumulated from the original battles have been promoted to light infantry, guerrilla shooters, and captains of the village guards in the territory.

The presidents of the various arms are generally held by Zhang Qiang's own directly subordinate knight servants.

As for knights, according to the rules of the Calradia continent, knights are relatively free. They are only loyal to the lord, and they are senior soldiers of the lord. During times of war, they will be called up. In the territory of the country, there are those who have their own territory.

Zhang Qiang is no exception.

After all, he is in the continent of Calradia, and he has to abide by an established rule, system, and aristocratic system.

Originally, he didn't have much territory, and the development of the territory didn't make much progress. At this time, the knights and attendants who followed him were like servants. They needed to lead his horse and armor for him, and they needed to be by his side at all times, just like the company's servants. The boss is like a high-ranking henchman, who will work for you at any time. They stay by your side, they can only get more wages, get trophies, and have higher privileges than others. At this moment, Zhang Qiang already has two territories.

Of course you can't deny him the land.

Don't think about the manor, Zhang Qiang has been building it for so long, of course he will not seal them into his manor.

So around the village of Tusculum, this ten-acre land, which ten-acre land, that piece of forest belongs to you, that piece of hillside belongs to you, and it is sealed like this.

There are not many knights, and Zhang Qiang does not need to pay much. The other high-ranking soldiers can only stay in the manor and serve Zhang Qiang.

Of course, Zhang Qiang was very generous to knights like James, Sam, and Simon, even heroic knights.

They not only held official positions in Zhang Qiang's team, but also gave each of them a fee of [-] gold coins and granted them [-] acres of land, each of which was used to build their own manor.

These estates are all around the village of Tusculum near Tunbao.

It is used to defend the security of Zhang Qiang's territory.

Regardless of the merits of a person, the level of meritorious service, or the status of aristocrats, they are entrusted to people from three to five households. These people will become their property in the future, and they have the right to dispose of it cheaply.

Buying and selling can only be done within Zhang Qiang's territory, and the killing needs to be dealt with by civil affairs officials mainly led by Ramosun, and cannot be killed without reason.

After disposing of Tuskrum, Zhang Qiang transferred 2000 people to Uludana Village to develop Uludana Village with corresponding equipment and cattle.

In Uludana Village, on the ruins of Zhang Qiang's original manor, Zhang Qiang rebuilt a manor as his foothold and administrative center in Uludana Village.

Through dozens of kilometers of wilderness and woods, the villages of Uludana and Tuskrum are far away from each other.

The construction of Uludana Village is in full swing.

Although this is the territory of his original knights, due to the limited force, Zhang Qiang will not invest too much. The cannon fodder soldiers can only defend against ordinary outlaws. A 50-man ranger unit is stationed to report messages and initially block the enemy's attack. .

After this period of peaceful development, Uludana Village has regained the size of 1000 people. After investing 2000 people, it has a village guard force of 500 people.

These consisted of a large number of militiamen and conscripts, light infantry.The gang's defense is enough.

There is also a 30-man heavy cavalry team in the manor, plus a 10-man defense team composed of Kujit cavalry and Swadia knights, and a 100-man manor guard infantry and archer team.

Even an earl and lord with such power can't afford it.

All this is because Zhang Qiang is rich, he is rich.

Seven or eight billion gold dinar wealth, what is it if it is not rich?
Zhang Qiang did this within a month after he came back. After Zhang Qiang's hard work and development, the village of Tusculum has become very rich from ordinary wealth, and the village of Uludana has developed from poverty to ordinary.

The very wealthy Tusculum Village can generate 10 gold coins in tax revenue for Zhang Qiang every week, which includes the product transaction tax paid by merchants, the tax paid by farmers, the tax paid by lord knights, and the businessmen who come and go. Team tolls.

In Uludana Village, there are only about 8000 taxes and tolls.

Now Zhang Qiang's territorial militia has 3500 people, 1000 recruits, 800 light infantry, 600 rangers, 500 guerrilla shooters, 300 crossbowmen, 100 skilled crossbowmen, 100 experienced crossbowmen, and sharpshooters. 100 people, 30 snipers, 200 cavalry archers, 300 archers, 30 bow marksmen, 10 archery masters, 300 heavy cavalry, 200 knight cavalry, 300 infantry, 200 heavy infantry, 50 guards People, 30 heavy armored knights, and 10 iron cavalry.

There are 30 knight attendants, 20 knights, hero knights Rolf, Yatiman, Manid, Lesarit, and Delangton.

Retinue François, Francie, Johann Johnson, Ramosson, Bolcha, Bestour.

Among them, François is a craftsman, Francie is the commander of the crossbowmen, Johan Johnson is the steward of the manor, Ramosson is the administrator of the territory, Bolza and Bestour can only be war slaves at present, and their status is the lowest. It is said that the two of them are real slaves and followers, and the others are Zhang Qiang's knights, followers, officers, and nobles.

30 bow marksmen, 30 crossbow marksmen, 10 crossbow snipers, 10 bow and arrow masters, and 10 bow cavalry formed Zhang Qiang's bow and crossbow guards, responsible for defending Zhang Qiang's inner fort.

Others responsible for defending the inner fort are 30 heavy infantry, 10 guards, 10 heavy armored knights, and 5 Sarande Mamluk cavalry.

50 Scout Cavalry, 10 Archer Cavalry, 10 Heavy Armored Knights, 5 Iron Cavalry, 5 Sarande Mamluk Cavalry, 10 Swadia Kingdom Knights, 10 Swadia Kingdom Guards is Zhang Qiang's general The members of the guards are usually directly led by Zhang Qiang. Zhang Qiang returns to the territory and is responsible for guarding the safety of the town hall.

This is all the strength of Zhang Qiang as a viscount.

In fact, it is only about 600 soldiers above the third rank who really go out to fight, plus heroes and knights, and knight attendants can only be placed in the territory to protect the territory.

Knowing the chaos in the mainland of Calradia, Zhang Qiang can only put most of the available troops on the territory. These people can deal with one or two earl coalition troops without Zhang Qiang's leadership, which will definitely make them unable to eat.

An ordinary viscount would definitely not have such great strength.

This is because with the end of the War of the Kingdom of Kugit, the main battlefield of the melee between the Kingdom of Sarande and the Kingdom of Kugit, the Kingdom of Swadia, and the Kingdom of Rhodok is no longer in the Dherim area. The ability to live has allowed the Dherim area to have a relatively peaceful development period. Because of Zhang Qiang's abundant funds, merchants always prefer to go to relatively peaceful areas. Therefore, Zhang Qiang's territory can develop rapidly without war. .

Otherwise, Zhang Qiang could only run around like other viscounts, thinking about starting a war and plundering the lords of other kingdoms.

A river originating from the Cass Mountains passes outside the village of Tuskrum, and along the mountain, flows into the villages of Uludana and Tuskrum not far from the village of Tuskrum. , a forest stretching for several miles at the foot of the Alhuen Highlands. The forest is lush and lush, with small streams flowing, melodious birdsong, rolling hills, tall trees, and an original ecology.

Lewis and Fang Ziyi often come here to meet and discuss issues.

About 20 acres outside the forest is the territory Zhang Qiang sealed off for them.

They were all players and Zhang Qiang's knights, but their estrangement from Zhang Qiang made Zhang Qiang treat them extremely coldly. If it weren't for the fact that they had a lot of energy in the real world, Zhang Qiang wouldn't bother to talk to them.

They want to curry favor with Viscount Rogerson and control Viscount Rogerson. For Zhang Qiang, who is more noble than them, stronger than them, and rooted in this world where the right to rule is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, their affairs started very early. understood.

Zhang Qiang only treated them coldly.

Zhang Qiang would not have given them anything if it hadn't been for the fact that they had obtained the status of commoner nobles of the knights in Rogerson, granted their own knights' territory, and didn't give them some, for fear of being misunderstood by other knights.

Although they cooperated well with me when they first entered the game, their indifferent attitude and superiority always treat Zhang Qiang like an ordinary person who has no power or weight in the real world, making Zhang Qiang really have no interest in them.

In contrast, Zhao Siyang and the others were given high hopes by Zhang Qiang. Zhao Siyang was granted a 100-acre manor territory in Uludana Village, more than 100 households, and more than 10 village guards. Commanding the second-tier ranger troops that he can command, Zhao Siyang's knight rank is very low, with 2 basic leader quotas, plus his commanding power of no more than 20, he can only command [-] ranger troops.

It is his shortcoming that he does not experience battles, does not obtain combat merits under the leadership of the lord, has no prestige points, and has no charisma points. Therefore, his position can only be a person in charge, similar to John Johnson.

Zhang Qiang wanted to give him a promotion and greater authority, but the NPC didn't recognize him.

Zhang Qiang has no choice. Zhao Siyang's role by his side is to connect the real world and the game world and run up and down for him.

Unless he can work hard to exercise his personal strength, he will play a greater role with Zhang Qiang's guards.

　Thanks to the three book friends for their rewards and encouragement.
