Feed the whole people, I just lie down and win

Chapter 73
Tang Jing should be thankful that he didn't come to Zunlong Kingdom.

Otherwise, this kind of team game with clan as the bond is really not something he, an orphan, can play, and he is afraid that he will be eaten so that even the bones and dregs will not be left.

Of course it's not just the clan.

Enterprises, business associations, and even various associations may all become players in the game.

There are also very few lucky ones, like Tang Jing, who obtained some kind of props or buildings in the early stage, soared into the sky, and completed the counterattack from grassroots to a small climate.

In short, it is all kinds of visible and invisible struggles.

After you sing, I will appear!
On the contrary, Tang Jing became a spectator because he was in an enemy country and far away from the vortex of struggle.

No, it's a group favorite!
.........

When researching the ranking list, Zun Longguo just passed by, after all, he has studied it several times.

The main focus is still on the Aztec League.

I want to see what great lords were born in the Aztecs, and whether there are any river valley provinces.

This is related to the vital interests of Changan.

Seeing that Xihai Town, the champion of the Aztecs, only ranked 44th, Tang Jing realized that the war between Chang'an and the Aztecs might never end.

As Qin Shuang said before.

Once the battle is unfavorable, the possibility of the Aztec Alliance continuing to increase its troops cannot be ruled out, and with the opening of the territorial leaderboard, this possibility is also increasing.

Almost 100%.

To end this war, Chang'an must beat and cry the coalition forces.

Hit till it's served!
To achieve this goal, it is necessary to continue to expand the military.

That's why, without much hesitation, Tang Jing agreed to accept the eleven generals recommended by Pei Ye.

Compared with any conspiracy theories, getting through the current round of crisis is the top priority.

Just thinking about it, Wang Er came in to report: "My lord, there is a letter from outside, the octopus monster has woken up."

"Oh?"

The octopus monster Paul has been in a deep sleep since he devoured the corpses of his fellow clansmen, so that the leader of the murlocs, Karu, has not been able to negotiate with Naga City.

One day passed, and he woke up.

"Go, go and see!"

Tang Jing got up immediately, left the lord's mansion, and walked out of the palace city.

Xu Chu led his troops to accompany him.

The sleeping place of the octopus Paul is on the banks of the Merlot River. When Tang Jing arrived, Paul had already sunk his entire body into the Merlot River, and a slight movement of his huge arms and legs could set off big waves.

More than doubled in size.

It's a pity that even after devouring the corpses of five companions, Paul the octopus still failed to advance, and his strength only reached the peak of the fourth order from the early stage of the fourth order.

It can be seen that the fifth level is indeed a big threshold, and it also reflects the strength of the Shadow Secret Guard from the side.

Before this, Tang Jing really didn't take the fifth step seriously. He didn't want to think that the fourth step to the fifth step was so difficult to cross, like a natural moat.

Just like Xu Chu.

His debut was the pinnacle of Tier [-], and even today, he still hasn't been able to break into Tier [-].

"Ah also~~"

Sensing the arrival of the owner Tang Jing, the octopus Paul's head immediately came out of the water, splashing a wave.

Look carefully, Paul's two eyeballs that were shot before, after being healed by Tang Jing with the blessing technique, regrown with this evolution.

It is the greatest achievement of this evolution.

otherwise.

A completely blind octopus monster has greatly reduced combat effectiveness.

"Fourth order..."

Tang Jing stared at Paul, but what he thought of was the fourth-order crystal nucleus, which is also the key to the promotion of the territory.

do not know.
"Ting!!"

Sensing the master's emotions, Paul the octopus felt a chill.

For fear of being slaughtered.

Hurry up and say flatteringly that he will go into the sea to kill the fourth-level sea beasts in order to obtain the fourth-level crystal nucleus.

dedicated to the master.

"That's about the same." Tang Jing smiled with satisfaction.

After confessing a few words to Paul the octopus, he ordered the release of the murloc leader Karu, and returned to the Caspian Sea under Paul's supervision to complete the task he had previously given.

Karoo excitedly took the lead.

.........

Back in Chang'an City, Tang Jing was in no hurry to return to the Lord's Mansion.

First came to inspect the armory.

The Great War is about to break out, and the Ordnance Institute, as an important military center in Chang'an, whether it can produce enough arrows, weapons, and armor is crucial to the future battle situation.

After the relocation and upgrading, the Ordnance Institute has also undergone institutional adjustments.

It consists of the Jiafang Division specializing in forging armor, the Weapons Division specializing in forging weapons, the Bow and Crossbow Division specializing in the manufacture of divine arm crossbows, bed crossbows, bows and arrows, and the Equipment Division specializing in the manufacture of siege equipment.

In addition, more than a dozen warehouses of various types have been built.

Today, the various craftsmen and laborers under the Ordnance Institute have reached the scale of [-] people. The Ordnance Institute is surrounded by a three-meter-high wall, covering an area of ​​about four square kilometers.

It was spectacular.

This is all because the Ordnance Institute entrusts the production and manufacturing of various military supplies such as leather armor, combat boots, cloth armor, cotton clothes, tents, water bags, etc. to the relevant factories in the textile area.

Otherwise, the scale will more than double.

Upon learning of the lord's visit, Ola the Dwarf, the actual person in charge of the Ordnance Institute, rushed out to greet him. While showing Tang Jing around, he introduced the relevant production situation in detail.

"The divisions under the Ordnance Institute are working at full speed, forging day and night."

"On average, one hundred sets of armor, fifty shields, three hundred swords, three hundred long spears, twenty war bows, fifty god arm crossbows, five bed crossbows and two thousand arrows can be forged every day."

It's like saying.

The daily production capacity of the Ordnance Institute can almost equip a battalion.

But if it is based on the standards of the composite arms, that is, every infantry needs to wear iron armor, equipped with shields, swords, spears, and one of the bows and crossbows.

That's almost meaningless.

It is barely able to arm half a battalion, and there is still a problem of insufficient armor supply.

But this is the limit of the Ordnance Institute.

Don't forget that in addition to being responsible for forging new weapons and equipment, the Ordnance Institute also has a very important responsibility, which is to repair damaged armor and weapons.

Soldiers train every day, and it is normal for equipment to wear and tear.

The workload is also huge.

Especially after a war is over, the repair work of weapons and equipment is even more arduous.

Wars like Chang'an are frequent.

The repair work of weapons and equipment alone takes up more than one-third of the energy of the Ordnance Department.

"Can you consider delegating the work of repairing weapons and armor to the army? Set up blacksmith shops in each battalion and brigade station to carry out related repair work?" Tang Jing asked.

"Yes, yes."

Euler nodded first, then said, "But there are two problems."

"One is that it is only suitable for troops with garrisons."

It is impossible for a field force like the Huben Brigade to bring blacksmiths everywhere.

It's better to bring a blacksmith.

The most difficult thing is that there are also facilities such as smelting furnaces and forging tables. How can this be brought?
There is no way to bring it.

"Secondly, the resident iron craftsmen can only repair weapons. For armor, especially heavy armor such as infantry armor and Mingguang armor, the forging process is extremely complicated, so it can only be repaired by Jiafang Secretary." Ola explained.

"That's true."

Tang Jing nodded, "Then try it out in the Imperial Guard Battalion, Guard Brigade, and City Guard Brigade, and see the effect first."

These three troops all have fixed camps.

When Chang'an City was planning, it opened up places near the gates of various cities to build various military camps nearby for the guard brigade and city guard brigade to station.

Even later redundancy was considered.

"Ok!"

Euler nodded.

Tang Jing also knew that this was actually just a temporary solution, not the root cause. The work of repairing weapons and armor was decentralized, which meant that some blacksmiths needed to be diverted from the ordnance department.

It will still affect the production capacity of the Ordnance Institute.

It's just that after the division of labor is clarified, those responsible for forging new weapons will specialize in forging new weapons, and those responsible for repairing weapons will specialize in repairing weapons. The overall work efficiency will be improved to a certain extent.

Talk is better than nothing.

The real solution is to introduce more blacksmiths, especially middle and senior blacksmiths.

But this happens to be the most difficult to achieve.

As the mainstream territories entered the village stage, blacksmith shops were built in each territory, and their own blacksmiths were not enough, so how could they be willing to take it out for a lottery?

As a result, the further back, the less likely Tang Jing will be able to recruit a blacksmith from Zunlong Kingdom.

It is impossible to expand the scale.

at the moment.

It can only be hoped that Bagh can persuade the Hammer tribe to send more dwarf blacksmiths.
