The current total population of Tianqi Town is 2,000.
There are more than 1,400 men among them, more than twice the number of female villagers.
This is also a consequence of the war.
After the Yellow Turban Rebellion began, the fastest runners were the strong men.
More than 1,400 men, excluding young and old and those required for daily duties.
Cheng Mu planned to expand the number of troops under his command to one thousand.
The current number of troops is 600, which means he needs to recruit 400 more people.
Cheng Mu planned to recruit all of these four hundred people as cavalry.
Among them are one hundred people on white horses and three hundred on heavenly horses.
Currently, among the major armies in Tianqi Town, Tianqi is the strongest.
Whether it is taking the initiative to attack or defending against harassment, the role of Tianqi is indispensable.
Although the Tianxiong Army only has a hundred people, under the leadership of Zhang Wanlong, it is enough to defeat a thousand people.
Therefore, Cheng Mu urgently needed to expand his infantry.
The Tianyu Army plus Lie Gong, two hundred archers are enough for now.
As for the Tianlong Army, its current function is to train and clear water obstacles.
Zhao Yun has entered the senior cavalry barracks.
At the same time, Cheng Mu also saw the military attributes of Baima Yicong.
White Horse Yi Cong (Special Cavalry)
Basic attributes: Force value 26, movement speed increased by 20%.
Attributes after the training of soldiers and civilians in Tianqi Town: force value 35 points, movement speed increased by 50%.
Training price: 20 gold.
"As expected of Baima Yicong!"
Cheng Mu praised: "Although the price is a little expensive, it's worth it!"
Although the force value of his troops was only 35 points after being trained as White Horse Yicon, it was far less than the force value of Tianqi, which was 40 points.
But with that 50% movement speed bonus, not even Tianqi can catch up.
The positioning of the Heavenly Cavalry is that its movement speed is comparable to that of the Rangers, and its defensive strength is second only to the Heavy Cavalry.
But now, the white horse Yi Cong moves faster than the rangers.
Cheng Mu immediately decided: "From now on, the White Horse Army will be the absolute scouts of our army!"
There is no team in the world that can beat the White Horse Army.
After spending 2,000 gold, a hundred majestic white cavalry appeared in front of Cheng Mu.
These white horses are actually sponsored by Jubao Pavilion.
Being able to get so many war horses, but they are all pure white. This is enough to show the power of Jubao Pavilion.
Dare to send so many war horses to Cheng Mu, Jubao Pavilion is actually revealing a message to Cheng Mu.
That means I am also very powerful!
Zhao Yun was extremely excited and had already sworn allegiance to Cheng Mu: "I, Zhao Zilong, am willing to ride for my lord!"
He could clearly feel that the new batch of white horse followers he had trained were much stronger than the ones he had commanded under Gongsun Zan before.
There is at least a two or three times difference in strength.
Cheng Mu also laughed and hurriedly helped Zhao Yun up and said: "From now on, the patrol and security tasks in Tianqi Town will be handed over to Zilong!"
Moving so fast, the White Horse Army is truly a natural scout and messenger.
And if Cheng Mu needs it, the White Horse Army with a force value of up to 35 points can also go into battle to kill the enemy.
Still crush the same number of enemies of the same level.
Zhao Yun was already happily leading the White Horse Army to test their speed.
Cheng Mu recruited all the remaining three hundred people as Tianqi.
As Guan Hai's exclusive unit, Tianqi played a huge role on the battlefield.
One versus ten, it's a piece of cake.
Fifteen thousand gold disappeared, and three hundred heavenly knights appeared in front of Cheng Mu solemnly.
Including the original two hundred Heavenly Cavalry, the total number of Heavenly Cavalry Army has since reached 500.
500 people, this is a number that most lord players have not reached the number of villagers.
"My lord! See you, my lord!"
Guan Hai took the lead, and five hundred heavenly riders saluted and paid homage to Cheng Mu.
"Okay! Thank you for your hard work!"
Cheng Mu held back the excitement in his heart and looked at the invincible master under his command excitedly.
Then he immediately ordered: "Everyone must practice more, the war will come back soon!"
The end of one Yellow Turban Rebellion will also mean the beginning of another event.
As players level up step by step, the system will arrange more and more activities and tasks for everyone to participate.
Since then, Cheng Mu's army expansion plan has been perfectly completed.
The number of troops in Tianqi Town has reached one thousand.
The war is over for now.
After fighting for so long, Cheng Mu also needed to take a good rest.
It's time to return to domestic affairs.
He thought and then called Zhuge Liang.
Currently, Zhuge Liang is taking care of most things in Tianqi Town, and Cheng Mu only needs to grasp the main development direction.
According to Cheng Mu's plan, each functional area is being divided in an orderly manner.
Currently, there are more than 30 junior iron-level and apprentices in the blacksmith shop.
If Cheng Mu needs it, he can build a smelting town immediately.
The tailor shop also taught more than a dozen female apprentices, and now they can sew ordinary quality leather armor.
Brick kilns and tile kilns are in full operation to ensure daily housing expansion needs.
As long as Tianqi Town is upgraded to Tianqi City, the intermediate-level residential buildings can be upgraded to high-end residential buildings.
"Lord! Good news!"
As soon as Zhuge Liang came in, he announced the good news to Cheng Mu.
Cheng Mu asked curiously: "Oh? What good news."
"Iron ore, someone discovered iron ore in the blacksmith shop!"
At this time, Zhuge Liang was no longer in his usual calm mood.
Currently, all the known iron ore is in the hands of the Chinese government. If Tianqi Town wants to build weapons, it can only purchase large quantities of iron ore through Jubao Pavilion.
But now, iron ore has actually appeared.
In this Earth and Star game world, killing animals will only drop furs, and killing bandits will only drop weapons.
The output of all equipment items is traceable.
Cheng Mu exchanged weapons and equipment and the artifact Blood Prison Soul-Severing Knife, and a portion of the materials to build these equipment disappeared on the planet.
With the iron ore, Cheng Mu can not only achieve self-sufficiency in weapons and equipment, but also sell them at a profit.
Immediately he ordered: "Let's go! Go and have a look!"
The person who discovered the iron ore was a blacksmith apprentice named Li Sandan, who happened to be going up the mountain to dig the ore today.
After digging and digging, he discovered an entire vein of iron ore.
Wang Tiechui also arrived here later. He estimated that the iron ore reserves here were enough to be mined for fifty years.
Even more.
"Okay, okay! We will send heavy troops to guard this place from now on!"
The place where the iron ore was discovered was still thirty miles away from the time when Juaxe Village was destroyed.
From here to Tianqi Town, it is a full sixty or seventy miles away.
Is it far? In fact, it’s not far either.
The white horse army galloped down and arrived in more than 20 minutes.
But it's not close. It will take some manpower to mine the ore and transport it back.
This involves Cheng Mu's blacksmith town plan.
If the blacksmith town is moved here in the future, it will provide a one-stop service for mining and blacksmithing.
"Well, it works!"
Cheng Mu nodded.
Tianqi Town is about to be expanded, and the Blacksmith Town can be moved here.
Beautiful.
He turned around again happily.
But in the end, he still told everyone to block the news.
Just keep silent and make a fortune. If the trouble becomes known to the whole world, the Chinese officials will definitely intervene.
Back in the village, Yang Zhenfeng, the lord of Qingyang City, suddenly sent an invitation.
