Worrying about gains and losses, being suspicious...
There are many leaders of powerful forces who have the same troubles as the former rebel leader.
If there is no problem for the master of the three-thousand-mile border, the border area will naturally be as stable as Mount Tai. It is simply impossible for them to fish in troubled waters, but if they want to seize the power of the border town government or garrison through normal channels, it is not something that can be accomplished in a short time.
After experiencing this incident, all fools know that the Lord of the Three Thousand Miles Frontier has two fake elixir demons to help him. Regardless of whether he is a human or a demon, ordinary forces cannot easily offend him.
However, the three thousand-mile border area is rich in products, has no shortage of money and food, and has a sufficient young and strong population. It is a rare base for kings and hegemons, and it is very difficult for careerists to give up easily.
If you don't dare to come forward rashly, you can only continue to hide in secret, or follow the example of a group of generals from the former rebel army, and become a frontier official or a city defense force.
This feeling of being able to only hang out in the city is quite unpleasant.
The officials of the five major cities on the border have extremely strong control over the city. Whether it is the cooperation of a large number of elite government officials and the city defense army with extremely high combat literacy, it is very dangerous to make any noise.
The world outside the city is vast, but as long as you stay in the borderland for a while and have some ability, it will not be difficult to figure out that the people maintaining order in the vast area outside the city are actually a group of spirits.
This makes strong players with some ideas feel wary and dare not act rashly.
It’s not that they can’t defeat the monsters outside the city, that is, the monsters that have become spirits are more difficult to deal with. As for the little monsters who have been forcibly enlightened and opened up their intelligence, it’s hard to say whether they can defeat the soldiers of the city defense army. Naturally, it won’t be too much.
In the eyes of a strong and ambitious person.
But the feeling of monsters is always somewhat mysterious and difficult to fathom.
Most importantly, the ambitious and strong hand cannot figure out whether the monsters responsible for maintaining order outside the city have the means to track them down who may take action.
This point is very critical. If they don't figure it out, they would rather continue to stay in the city and think of a solution than take risks in the vast areas outside the city.
Humans are still quite afraid of monsters.
…
Another year has passed in the blink of an eye. At this time, the three thousand miles of frontier can be said to be the only peaceful place in the vast territory of Qi.
The surrounding prefectures and counties experienced either natural disasters or man-made disasters, and a large number of homeless people continued to pour in, bringing sufficient labor force and development momentum to the borderlands with rough mining environment.
The five major cities have not been expanded. Although the five major cities have had ideas and opinions, they were suppressed by Lei Hu. He does not think that under the current productivity situation, the emergence of a large city with more than one million people is a big deal.
Good thing.
On the contrary, the towns and villages surrounding the five major cities developed rapidly and prospered, stimulated by the large influx of young and strong labor.
Basically, the original urban population was mostly more than five, and it will be even more as time goes by.
It's just that Lei Hu has ordered that the population of these towns has reached a stage and they will no longer accept immigrants in the future.
On the contrary, a large number of peripheral villages have experienced considerable development, and they are all moving closer to cities and towns of 10,000 people.
In one year, nearly a million people poured in from neighboring states and counties, almost all of them young adults and teenagers, and almost no elderly people.
This kind of population size and age distribution is extremely beneficial to the Three Thousand Miles Frontier.
In order to absorb more people from other prefectures and counties, ten large-scale shelters were built in just a few years in areas adjacent to neighboring prefectures and counties. Not only were the camps vast in area and built almost like military camps, but they also stocked a large amount of food.
Supplies, each camp is defended by 5,000 defenders.
Several former rebel generals who had infiltrated the border city defense forces were assigned to a shelter by coincidence.
They were lucky enough to catch up with the good times.
After going through a very strict formal recruit training, coupled with the continuous training afterwards, they all have indeed extraordinary abilities, and they soon stand out at the bottom of the city defense army system.
At present, several former rebel generals who have infiltrated the city defense army system have basically become grassroots officers at this time. They are either in charge of a fifty-man team or a hundred-man general. If they are placed in the strictly regulated city defense army, they will definitely be considered for promotion.
It was quick.
It happened that the situation in the states and counties near the border areas was turbulent, and a large number of refugees poured into the border areas. Along with some evil-intentioned forces and lone thieves, they also made trouble, making the situation at the junction of the border areas and Linjin states and counties quite chaotic. Lei Hu
Naturally, we cannot let the chaos outside affect the stability of the border.
Therefore, the five major cities and the expanded urban defense force system in cities and towns, and the deployment of some capable personnel to guard the border reception stations, became a good opportunity for the city defense officers and soldiers to make contributions.
Those former rebel generals who felt that they had already trained the bottom level and were familiar with it, and wanted to climb up, naturally would not let go of such an opportunity, and took the initiative to apply to be transferred to the shelter. In the end, they all got their wish.
This is normal!
There are people in the army who are ambitious and want to make great achievements, but most of them are ordinary generals who are content with the status quo and are unwilling to take risks.
After all, the five major cities in the frontier are quite prosperous and stable, the surrounding towns and villages are also developing in full swing, and the steady stream of refugees has brought chaos to the hinterland of Daqi. The entire three thousand miles of the border has become the only place of peace in Daqi.
While they are proud and proud in their hearts, they are more content with the status quo. Not many generals are willing to go to the reception station at the border. Not only is the environment there extremely poor, but they also have to fight with the rebels and bandits who are crossing the border from time to time.
Defense will kill people.
After living a stable life for so long, most soldiers are not very willing to take the risk of stationing at the border.
The opponents are not only rogue bandits and soldiers, but also mountain spirits and wild monsters, as well as ghosts and ghosts that ordinary soldiers are very afraid of and give them all kinds of headaches!
When we reached the border with the hinterland of Daqi, we realized just how chaotic the environment was and how dangerous it was outside.
Ordinary soldiers are not afraid of rogue bandits and rebels. With their own strength and quality, it may be a little troublesome to deal with them, but it will definitely not cause them a headache.
But those mountain spirits and wild monsters, as well as the evil ghosts and ghosts, are different. They are definitely existences that make the soldiers' scalps numb. They don't even know how they died.
Only then did the soldiers realize how peaceful the three thousand-mile border area was.
The towns and villages here are in good order, and the monsters here have been greatly suppressed and will not launch active attacks on humans at all.
The most important thing is that there are no evil ghosts here. They have been cleared away by the master of the Three Thousand Miles Frontier long ago. Otherwise, the Three Thousand Miles Frontier land would never be so stable and stable.
In the borderland, there are many former border troops and transformed ghosts!
Not only are these evil ghosts haunted by evil spirits, but the most powerful thing is that they also have the means to arrange military formations for attack and defense.
Not to mention ordinary people, even if they encounter magic monks who are not strong in means and strength, if they have no means of escape, they may not even be able to guarantee their safety.
Such a situation will cause the border situation to collapse immediately once the support of the Great Qi Court is lost. It can be said that the three thousand miles of border land close to the Demon Realm is the area least likely to voluntarily leave the control of the Court. Standard
Chaotang Party.
It is a pity that Da Qi Chaotang's strength has been weakened to a certain extent, and his ability to control local areas has been greatly reduced. The hinterland is in chaos. How can he have the energy and mind to care about the border areas?
As a result, the population of the 3,000-mile border area, which usually exceeds 10 million, dropped to just over 500,000 before Lei Hu took charge.
Moreover, monsters are running rampant, mountain spirits and wild monsters are running rampant, and military spirits are wreaking havoc, turning the border area into an extremity.
The former rebel generals who had infiltrated the border army did not know these things in the past, but now they are stationed at the border reception station. In recent years, through comparison of the conditions in the bordering states and counties in the border area, they can basically figure out the clues.
…
"Damn it, this life is really unbearable!"
On this day, several former rebel generals happened to be under false pretenses, and they unconsciously gathered together to chat and fight. They nested in the corner of the restaurant lobby next to the shelter, and the atmosphere was very lively.
One of them took a swig of strong wine, slammed the porcelain wine bowl on the thick and rough wine table, and said angrily: "I led the patrol before, and ended up encountering a few more evil ghosts. It was not easy."
Just kill them, and your own losses are not small!"
Not only did these words fail to arouse the emotion of my friends at the table, but also the other drinkers who heard the sound were indifferent, as if they were commonplace.
It’s really not surprising!
As the situation in the neighboring states and counties became more and more chaotic, fighting continued between the government, the rebels, and local wealthy families, resulting in rivers of life and blood. Thousands of ordinary people were affected. Naturally, they were unwilling to die.
There are quite a few of them who later turned into evil ghosts.
As the situation in neighboring states and counties becomes more and more turbulent, even magic monk sects and families are involved. The evil ghosts who were originally controlled to a certain number suddenly have no dedicated magic monks to target them, and they are becoming unscrupulous and lawless.
.
In this way, more and more evil ghosts are attracted to the border by the yang energy of the large number of refugees, and it is not surprising for patrol sergeants to encounter them.
"What's there to complain about? Who hasn't encountered this a few times on patrol?"
The general at the same table said angrily: "Didn't you come back well? There are not many soldiers under your command. You should practice your skills well. If you encounter them again in the future, you can just kill them. There is no need to use them to fight.
You can’t find happiness on your own!”
"that is!"
Another general also shouted loudly: "It's not like the superiors didn't notify us in advance. The situation in the neighboring states and counties is getting more and more chaotic. I'm afraid the number of refugees, ghosts, and even lawless people coming in will increase dramatically. Now I'm worried about nothing."
Use it, I believe more troublesome things will happen after a while!"
