With weapons and equipment in place, military expansion is imperative.
That evening, Tang Jing presided over a military affairs meeting at the Lord's Mansion to discuss a new round of army expansion plans, and finally decided to recruit 3,200 new soldiers at one go.
Red Feather Camp increased its troops by 500.
It has two sword and shield corps, four spear corps, three archer corps and one light cavalry corps.
A new trap camp was formed, aiming at the Red Feather Camp, and the camp was upright and smooth.
The Shanshan camp increased its troops by 500.
It has five weapons teams and five spearmen teams.
Zhenyue Camp was newly established to benchmark Shanshan Camp.
Orin, the dwarf of Yingzheng.
The Sharp Arrow Battalion was newly formed, three archer teams were allocated from the Shenjian Battalion, and two more archer teams were added.
Ying Zhengyun River.
After the new round of expansion, the City Guard Brigade will have eight battalions: the Guards Battalion, the Red Feather Battalion, the Falling Camp, the Shanshan Battalion, the Zhenyue Battalion, the Divine Arrow Battalion, the Sharp Arrow Battalion and the City Defense Battalion.
Except for the Guards Battalion and the Sharp Arrow Battalion, they are all reinforced battalions with a capacity of 1,000 people.
It's said to be a journey.
The combat troops alone amounted to an exaggerated number of more than 6,800, enough to form the framework of a division.
Defense division!
At the end of the meeting, the affairs officer Qin Shuang reported a situation: "Sir, while sweeping the wilderness during the day, the troops once again discovered traces of wild wolves and jackals."
"So, Black Wind Village has launched an investigation into Chang'an?"
Wild wolves have almost become synonymous with orcs' eyes and ears, and they are indeed the cheapest detectives.
"That's how it should be."
"The mopping up operation will continue tomorrow, but the newly recruited soldiers must not be exposed. By then, Black Wind Village will be given a big surprise." Tang Jing was quite looking forward to it.
"yes!"
All the generals present were eager to give it a try and wanted to have a big fight.
………
After the meeting, Tang Jing left the dwarf Olin alone and said with a smile: "Look, can you invite some dwarf warriors from the Hammer Tribe to join the City Guard Brigade?"
He didn't believe it. Orin was the only dwarf in the entire Hammer Tribe who couldn't bear the loneliness.
The territory was able to establish close trade relations with the Hammer Tribe. On the surface, it was just about getting what they needed. In fact, it was also related to Orin's promotion in the City Guard Brigade.
Otherwise, why would the dwarf Bagger be so hardworking and always stick to the interests of his territory?
"How about I go to the tribe?"
Ou Lin also had some thoughts, wishing that some tribesmen would come to the army to help.
Fortunately, the military supports each other.
From joining the Chang'an Army to the present, in just over a week, he has completed the triple jump of "Team Commander, Deputy Battalion Commander, and Battalion Commander", which can be said to be truly important.
It also strengthened Olin's belief in staying in Chang'an and developing.
"good!"
Tang Jing smiled and patted Ou Lin on the shoulder to show his closeness.
………
On February 15, the raids continued.
Qin Shuang stayed behind and was responsible for the recruitment and reorganization of 3,200 new soldiers. Tang Jing was not idle either. He opened the market and released a transaction message.
"1 war bow + 2 gold coins, exchange for a high-quality war horse!"
After the expansion, the City Guard Brigade, Red Feather Camp, and the Falling Camp will all have a new light cavalry team, which means that the territory needs to prepare at least two hundred to three hundred high-quality war horses.
It’s not cost-effective to buy it in the Honor store.
With the expansion of the City Guard Brigade, a total of seven new archer corps have been added, which means that there are still 800 war bows left. Even if 300 are left for the cavalry, there are still 500 available in the market.
Exchange for war horses.
Enough!
After the transaction information was sent out, it was indeed warmly welcomed by the grassland lords.
"This is great!"
"I have tamed nearly a hundred wild horses recently, but I still can't form a cavalry because I don't have a bow."
Bow making is too troublesome.
In particular, strong bows suitable for cavalry warfare were hard to find. Even Chang'an Village, which had established a military workshop, could not achieve self-sufficiency, let alone other territories.
Not only war bows, the lords are also short of money.
Very lacking!
Especially for the first batch of lords who enter the village, it costs money to change jobs in the new barracks and build buildings, and they all start with gold coins, which really stumps a lot of players.
Even those celebrities and entrepreneurs are worried about raising funds.
Two gold coins are enough to transfer two new recruits.
As a result, in less than an hour, Tang Jing completed 500 transactions, using 500 war bows and 1,000 gold coins to successfully exchange for 500 high-quality war horses.
It greatly enriched the scale of the military horse farm.
This matter made the grassland lord Geler, who had worked with him before, become anxious. "Boss Tang, you are not very interesting. Don't you mean to establish stable trade relations? Why are there good things but they are sold in the market?"
"Didn't you say before that you didn't want to sell the horse because you didn't have enough money?" Tang Jing was also very "innocent".
"I"
Ge Le was so surprised that he didn't choke to death. "Well, I'm not short of money, but the war bow is a good thing."
"It was my fault."
Tang Jing decisively gave in and said, "What about this, next time there is a war bow, let's trade it directly?"
"It's necessary."
Gullah was anxious, "I'll give you a discount. For every one hundred horses traded, I'll give you ten more."
"readily!"
Tang Jing smiled and agreed, already thinking about why he bought a war bow from the elf tribe again. But the elf Mia was obviously on guard against him, not only falsely reporting the inventory, but also refusing to allow gold coins to be traded.
There's no comparison to the Hammer Tribe.
Even the war bow for the second transaction, Mia entrusted the dwarf Bag to send.
It's a ghost!
The question now is, how to pry open Mia's mouth?
The elves live in the mountains and forests for generations and have no worries about food and clothing. They have no desires and no demands. It is difficult to catch any loopholes and it seems that they cannot come up with any attractive products in a short period of time.
It gives me a headache.
………
Just as I was thinking about it, Mr. Wu came over to report on the work.
With a thought in his mind, Tang Jing explained the problem he just had and humbly asked: "Mr. Wu, is there any way to bring the Elf Tribe into trouble?"
Don't look at it. Mr. Wu has been responsible for the general affairs of the territory since he came to the territory.
In fact, being a counselor is his true calling.
"I have also learned about the elves. Although they are independent of the world, they are arrogant by nature, and they especially pride themselves on their superb archery skills. Why don't you arrange for the Houyi tribe's archers to compete with the elves?" Mr. Wu suggested with a smile.
"Then if the elf loses, wouldn't it mean he loses more face and makes the situation more tense?" Tang Jing was puzzled.
Apparently he was also very confident in the archery skills of Hou Yi's warriors.
"When an elf loses, he will try to regain his position. Then the adults can invite the elf to join the city guard brigade. In this way, won't he be able to compete with the Houyi warriors more often?" Mr. Wu laughed.
"Got it!"
Tang Jing also smiled, "I still need to trouble you, sir, to help you write another letter of challenge."
This challenge must not be too domineering, but it must also successfully arouse the interest of the elves. The wording in it is not simple, and Tang Jing will definitely not be able to write it.
"Obligated!"
Mr. Wu was happy to accept the offer of writing an article.
Then he reported on the business, "After your honor mentioned last time, I will work with the Urban Construction Department to refine the plan of Chang'an City, and please review it." He then unfolded the city plan he brought.
"Let me see!"
Tang Jing also became interested and stepped forward.
The entire Chang'an City takes the inner city as the core and is divided into sixteen main urban areas in the form of a field grid.
Among them, the four central urban areas adjacent to the inner city are planned in sequence as high-end residential areas, military and political office areas, cultural, educational, health and sports areas, and commercial and financial areas.
It is the CBD area of Chang'an City.
The eleven districts next to the outer city wall are planned in sequence according to the medium and long-term needs of the territory into kiln area, wood products processing area, light industry area, heavy industry area, non-staple food processing area, breeding base, textile area, military horse farm and ordnance area.
Various facilities such as residential areas, city guard camps, inner warehouses, and parks were also planned from time to time.
Bell towers and drum towers are also planned at the intersections of main roads.
The twelve gates on the outer city wall completely follow the names of Chang'an City in the Tang Dynasty, such as Chunming Gate due east, Mingde Gate due south, and Jinguang Gate due west.
Others include Tonghua Gate, Yanxing Gate, Anhua Gate, etc.
Different from Chang'an City in the Tang Dynasty, the new Chang'an City will not adopt closed management of each village. All urban areas are planned on a plane and will not be separated from each other by walls.
In fact, it draws lessons from modern city planning.
Taking the textile district as an example, there are various factories such as textile factories, printing and dyeing factories, quilt factories, footwear factories, etc. Each factory will also build supporting residential areas, nurseries, health stations, department stores, supermarkets and other supporting facilities.
.
A factory is a small society.
"Okay, okay, okay!"
After seeing it, Tang Jing was filled with admiration, "This is the Chang'an City I envisioned. It is magnificent and well-organized. It not only imitates the Chang'an City of the Tang Dynasty, but also has some innovations."
Once completed, it will surely become the first-class majestic city in the world.
Thanks to "Squirrel 006", "Jiying Fox" and "Xi Mohua, it's easy for the cold flowers to bloom and listen to the rain fall" for their reward support, thank you!
