Chapter 229 Occupation

On September 7th of the first year of Gaia, at 9:12 in the morning, Xiaofeng Wanyue, the lord of Tianfeng Town, died in battle.

Xiaofeng Wanyue's last miserable smile became Ouyang Shuo's deepest memory of this expedition. Ouyang Shuo can fully understand how a lord feels about his territory.

Xiaofeng Wanyue did not choose to escape, at the last moment, he made his own choice, vowing to live and die with the territory. Territorial wars have nothing to do with good or evil, justice, but only survival and ambition. The strong survive and the weak perish.

Ouyang Shuo walked into the conference hall and ordered the personal guard battalion to continue to wipe out the miserable enemy. He came to the stele of the territory of Tianfeng Town, drew out the Tang knife, channeled the golden internal energy, poured it into the Tang knife, and chopped it down with all his strength. Ouyang Shuo didn't know how to use swords, and he didn't have any tricks. He just relied on brute force to smash the stele.

Territory stele has a certain durability and defense value, and the level of durability and defense value is closely related to the level of the territory and the level of the village building token.

The first-level village built with the lowest-level bronze village building token has a durability of 100 points and a defense value of 10 points. Every time the village building token is upgraded, the initial value will be increased by 20%; every time the territory level is raised, the durability and defense value will be doubled; every time the territory is raised by a large level, the durability and defense value will be directly increased by five times.

Tianfeng Town is a third-level township, using a bronze-level village building token with a durability of 8000 points and a defense value of 800 points. The attack value minus the defense value is the durability consumed by each attack. If the attack value is lower than the defense value of the stele and the defense cannot be broken, a point of durability will be deducted forcibly.

Ouyang Shuo slashed down, only cutting off 12 durability points of the stele. In desperation, he could only call his personal guards to attack the territory stone tablet together.

Half an hour later, the stele was finally broken.

The moment the stele was broken, a system notification sound came from Ouyang Shuo's ear.

"System prompt: Congratulations to player Qiyue Wuyi for capturing Tianfeng Town. Please choose how to deal with Tianfeng Town, possession, transfer or destruction?"

"Choose possession!"

The strategic position of Tianfeng Town is very important, so Ouyang Shuo naturally chose to occupy it. Not only Tianfeng Town, he also chose to occupy all the four territories that were wiped out two days ago.

"System prompt: After taking possession, you can rename the territory, do you want to rename it?"

"No!" Ouyang Shuo was not interested in thinking about a name again.

After completing the territory occupation, Ouyang Shuo was free to clean up the mess.

The battle in the backyard of the Lord's Mansion was over, Xiaofeng Wanyue died in battle, and all remaining soldiers in Tianfeng Town surrendered. As for Ba Dao and his remnants, they were annihilated by the personal guard battalion, leaving no one alive.

Ouyang Shuo sat in the Lord's Mansion, took over the power of Tianfeng Town, and issued a series of orders.

Ouyang Shuo ordered the 2nd Battalion of the 2nd Brigade to be responsible for destroying the armed forces in the two subordinate territories of Tianfeng Township and making them subordinate; he issued an Announcement to inform the people that Tianfeng Township had been brought under the rule of Shanhai County; Take charge of the military camp in the city, maintain law and order, and strictly prevent young people from taking the opportunity to cause chaos; organize the townspeople to clean up the lord's mansion and the roadblocks outside the lord's mansion, and restore normal order in the territory.

In the afternoon, Tianfeng Town basically returned to normal.

Ouyang Shuo ordered the 1st Battalion and 2nd Battalion of the 2nd Brigade to return to Shanhai County immediately, and at the same time brought his oral instructions: order the 1st Battalion of the Beihai Fleet to go upstream along the Friendship River and rush to garrison at Lake Xila; Chief Zhao Dewang is the chief officer of Tianfeng Town. He selects a group of capable government officials from the territory to serve with the Beihai Fleet; he orders the shipyard to send a group of shipbuilders to Tianfeng Town to build a shipyard in Xila Lake.

After the first battalion and the second battalion of the second brigade left, Ouyang Shuo began to meet officials at all levels in Tianfeng Town.

The Lord's Mansion has been cleaned up, the corpses were carried away, and buried in a cemetery outside the city; the blood on the ground was washed away, but the air still smelled of blood.

As a third-level town, Tianfeng Town can be ranked among the top 300 in the player territory. Xiaofeng Canyue can be regarded as a relatively capable lord, and he manages Tianfeng Town in an orderly manner.

The headquarters of Tianfeng Town has 23 officials at all levels, including eleven black iron level talents, two silver level talents, one gold level talent, and no historical talents.

In the two battles before and after, the army of Tianfeng Town was almost completely lost, which directly caused the population of Tianfeng Town to drop sharply, and the total population of the base camp was less than 7,000.

After Tianfeng Town was occupied, there was no way to renew the refugees, so Ouyang Shuo simply moved all the citizens of the two subsidiary territories back to the base camp for resettlement, making the population of the base camp break through 10,000.

Because Tianfeng Town is outside the territory of Shanhai County, the population of Tianfeng Town cannot be included in Shanhai County unless Ouyang Shuo moves them all to Shanhai County to settle down.

Naturally, Ouyang Shuo would not go fishing in the marsh, he planned to build Tianfeng Town into an important stronghold.

He began to reform the administrative structure of Tianfeng Town according to the model of the subsidiary territory of Shanhai County. Based on 23 officials, he built the framework of the Administrative Department, the Internal Affairs Department, the Finance Department, and the Material Reserve Department. When zhao dewang arrives with capable government officials, he can ensure that Tianfeng Town will be in operation immediately.

Among the officials, there is only one gold-level talent named Pu Zhidao, born in Juren, 42 years old, and an important assistant to the former lord of Tianfeng Town, Xiaofeng Canyue.

Ouyang Shuo met Pu Zhidao alone in the lord's office.

Literati have their own character and don't want to serve two masters, especially when the bones of the old master are not cold. After Pu Zhidao came in, his attitude was cold, as if he didn't want to talk to Ouyang Shuo.

Ouyang Shuo smiled slightly and didn't care. After asking Pu Zhidao to sit down, he said, "Mr. must have a good idea of ​​the entanglement between Tianfeng Town and Shanhai County. Please judge who is right."

Pu Zhidao's expression was a little touched. As Xiaofeng Wanyue's important assistant, Pu Zhidao knew clearly that it was Tianfeng Town's active provocation that brought about today's catastrophe. Winners and losers, no one can say anything.

Since it is a knot in the heart, it is naturally not so easy to untie it. With different positions, the starting point for considering issues is naturally different. From Pu Zhidao's point of view, there was nothing wrong with Tianfeng Town's behavior, it was just that its strength was not enough.

Of course, Ouyang Shuo did not expect to persuade Pu Zhidao so easily, and continued: "If you are good at learning, you will be an official. Please also consider a thing or two for the people in the territory. If you stay out of the matter, you will naturally fulfill your own character, but it is hard work." The people of Fengzhen, the people lost a dedicated parent official, isn't it worth the loss?"

Pu Zhidao let out a long sigh, and bowed in obeisance: "Pu Zhidao, my humble minister, pay homage to the lord!"

Ouyang Shuo helped Pu Zhidao up and said, "With Mr.'s help, Tianfeng Town will be safe!"

Ouyang Shuo immediately appointed Pu Zhidao as the Director of Administration. With the assistance of this Director of Administration who is familiar with Tianfeng Town, he handled the affairs of Tianfeng Town more easily.

The next day, the guard battalion went out of the city and began to wipe out the surrounding bandits. Ouyang Shuo specifically confessed that the scope of suppressing bandits is not limited to the territory of Tianfeng Town, but to plow the area around Xila Lake as much as possible.

The purpose of suppressing the bandits is firstly to stabilize the hearts of the people and prove that the new ruler is capable of protecting the safety of the people; It is impossible for the personal guard battalion to stay permanently in Tianfeng Town. Before leaving, Ouyang Shuo must ensure that Tianfeng Town has the power to protect itself.

The recruiting potential of Tianfeng Town itself had been squeezed out by the former lord Xiaofeng Wanyue, so Ouyang Shuo could only focus on the rogues.

After leaving the city, Ouyang Shuo led four personal guards and went straight to Xila Lake.

As the brightest pearl in the west of Lianzhou Basin, Xila Lake covers an area of ​​3,150 square kilometers, far exceeding the territorial area of ​​a first-level county. The maximum depth of Lake Sila is 35 meters, and the average depth is 25 meters.

The lake water is crystal clear, the water temperature is suitable, the aquatic plants are abundant, and the fish resources are abundant. In addition, there are various birds that inhabit Lake Sila, bringing vitality to Lake Sila.

On the sparkling lake, fishermen rowed fishing boats and cast nets to catch fish.

Xila Lake is undoubtedly a treasure house, and Ouyang Shuo has no specific development plan for a while. Looking at the lake with the same color of water and sky, my heart is not only open.

In the following week, the Guards Battalion attacked everywhere, sweeping away the bandits with a thunderous force. Within a radius of 5,000 kilometers, countless large and small bandit camps were wiped out.

In this campaign, a total of 4,100 gold coins were seized, 1,020 combat rogues were captured, 2,250 non-combat rogues were captured, and countless materials of various types were collected, which greatly enriched the warehouses and arsenals of Tianfeng Town.

The illustrious military exploits of the Guards Battalion have greatly shocked the citizens of Tianfeng Town.

I think back then, when Tianfeng Town suppressed the bandits, it was not careful and carefully planned, but it was as destructive as the Qinweiying, and it was always beneficial. Such a strong army can bring peace of mind to the people.

A large number of captives joined in, causing the population of Tianfeng Town to increase dramatically. Ouyang Shuo officially renamed Tianfeng Town to Tianfeng County, becoming the fourth county-level subsidiary territory of Shanhai County.

Using the captured funds, Ouyang Shuo selected a group of elites from among the captive combat rogues, together with the former captives from Tianfeng Town, to form the Tianfeng County City Defense Battalion.

The city defense battalion includes a sword and shield battalion and an archer battalion, with a total of 1,000 people. Ouyang Shuo then transferred a group of backbones from the personal guard battalion to supplement the city defense battalion as battalion commander and squadron leader.

The duty of the city defense battalion, besides territorial defense, is to continue to suppress bandits, the more important task.

According to Ouyang Shuo's idea, since there are no more refugees to regenerate, then use the wilderness to boost the population growth of Tianfeng County.

Ouyang Shuo only withheld 1,000 gold coins from the remaining funds after the city defense battalion was transferred, and he planned to leave the remaining 2,700 gold coins to the soon-to-be-built Tianfeng County Sub-branch of the Four Seas Bank to promote the economic development of Tianfeng County.

After occupying Tianfeng County for only one week, the series of measures promoted by Ouyang Shuo brought a new wind to Tianfeng County and swept away the dullness before.
