Water Margin: From today on, Liangshan is my decision!

Chapter 185: Town Center Upgrade–Wangcheng Level.

Upgrading the town center will unlock more technology and buildings.

And these unlocked technologies and buildings will have a huge improvement on the territory. The harvest that the territory can gain from it will also exceed the so-called seizure of money and grain.

More importantly, this time the town center was upgraded, directly from the prefecture level to the royal city level.

Xiao Chen had a strong premonition that after this upgrade, the territory would have earth-shaking changes! Forced to endure the excitement in his heart, Xiao Chen opened the system panel.

Looking at the million system population required for the upgrade above, and the requirements of one province and land, all of them are met.

“System, upgrade the town center!”

Without much hesitation, Xiao Chen immediately ordered silently in his heart

“Ding!”

“Upgrade requirements have been met, do you confirm the upgrade?”

“Confirm!”

“Ding, the town center has been upgraded successfully!”

A pleasant voice sounded in his mind, which made Xiao Chen not tired of seeing it.

Immediately afterwards, the space of the palace began to ripple, rapidly increasing in height and widening at a speed visible to the naked eye, and earth-shaking changes occurred.

These extra spaces seem to appear out of thin air, like miracles! Xiao Chen walked out of the room and came outside.

Looking around, I was surprised to find that the lord’s mansion in the center of the town had suddenly become a real royal city! Covering an area of more than 1,000 acres, there are many palaces inside, which are not only gorgeous, but also full of majesty. Its city wall also rose to ten meters high in vain, and the thickness of the base was as high as ten meters.

The width of the city head can run a four-wheeled carriage, which is extremely spacious. At the head of the city, there are many defensive buildings such as arrow towers and artillery batteries.

Outside the city, there is a moat five or six meters wide, which surrounds it.

This is almost like moving the Great Song Imperial Palace in Kaifeng Province in Tokyo, standing on the top of Liangshan.

Standing on the tower of the lord’s mansion, you can overlook the entire foot of Liangshan Mountain and the eight hundred miles of lake outside Liangshan. What’s more, because its location is on the top of Liangshan Mountain, it is full of clouds.

If you look up from Liangshanbo, it is like seeing the Immortal Palace on the clouds. This made Xiao Chen realize that many things may not be explained.

Up and down the territory, I am afraid that many people will really think that he is, the saint has descended! Even the Immortal Palace has appeared!

Xiao Chen thought about it and finally decided not to explain or hide it. The world, what love thinks, then think how to think!

Immediately turned around and returned to his study.

Now his study can be called the imperial study room.

A large number of decisions in the territory are issued from it, and each decision is related to the fate of 20 million people in the territory. It has also had a great impact on all the people of the world.

With the current size of the Liangshan Army, its every move will have a profound impact on the entire world and determine the future direction of Shenzhou.

This is not Xiao Chen’s vain words, but now Liangshan Army already has this kind of strength!

As the master of the Liangshan Army, his will represents the will of the 20 million people under the jurisdiction of the Liangshan Army! Twenty million people, in this era, represents a lot of things.

More importantly, the 20 million people in the territory are not the natives of those remote and primitive lands. It is the power to control the powerful industrial productive forces, military power!

Today’s Liangshan Army can fully represent the light of civilization!

In his thoughts, Xiao Chen quietly opened the system panel and looked at the upgraded system panel.

【Empire Rise System】

Town Center: Wangcheng level [next level imperial capital level]

New buildings: artillery factory, musket factory, natural science laboratory.

New unlock technologies: artillery, musket, 1000-ton fishing boat, 500-ton destroyer. New unlocked classes: Gunner, Musketeer, Researcher.

Population: 2.1 million.

Upgrade requirements: The system has a population of five million and three provinces.

……

Looking at the new buildings, artillery factories, musket factories appeared.

Xiao Chen’s whole person took a deep breath, and then revealed an excited smile. After a long wait for artillery technology, it finally appeared!

Previously, the appearance of gunpowder factories, with the industrial production capacity of the territory, it was then possible to produce artillery. It’s just that because the power of gunpowder is not great, plus the territory before there were only two states.

If the artillery is brought out, it will not only not increase the advantage of the territory, but will also be narrowed by Zhao Song. The reason is simple, gunpowder and bronze artillery are not high-tech.

For Zhao Song, the difficulty of production does not have the slightest threshold.

The raw materials for gunpowder needed, as well as bronze, and even the craftsmen who cast cannons. Zhao Song far surpassed Liangshan Army!

In this case, get the artillery out in advance, it will only be a wedding dress. Therefore, Xiao Chen did not order people and forcibly developed artillery.

Now after the appearance of the artillery factory building.

Then these problems are no longer a problem. The building of the artillery factory does not only unlock artillery production technology.

……

More importantly, it can directly recruit cannon casting talents.

This gives it the ability to mass-produce artillery!

In addition, now it has the land of the fifteen prefectures of Qilu and has access to the sea, and overseas trade is about to open. Whether it is raw materials or talents, it can be solved in an instant.

In a short period of time, as long as resources are invested, the territory will be able to mass-produce artillery, as well as talents who can apply artillery. And, after the appearance of the artillery factory building.

The territory is not only capable of producing bronze artillery, but also has the ability to produce iron cannons. Bronze artillery and iron cannon do not contradict each other.

Bronze artillery was used to cast battleship guns, fortress guns, these extremely powerful and wide range heavy artillery. Iron cannons, on the other hand, can be used to mass-produce small and medium-sized artillery.

Such as the three-pound cannon, the five-pound cannon, and the representative tiger squat cannon, the most classic shotgun of the later Daming. The three-pound gun, named after the weight of the shell, actually describes the caliber size of the gun.

But because today’s artillery is all live guns, and the power of live guns mainly depends on the weight of the shells. With artillery, the Liangshan Army will have extremely strong offensive capabilities and the ability to break formations.

In addition, the Liangshan Army has always maintained a perfect logistics supply support system. This made the Liangshan Army like a tiger with wings, and its combat power soared by more than one level. And behind the artillery plant, the appearance of the musket factory.

It made Xiao Chen even more happy.

Although the unlocked muskets were only arquebuses, not more advanced flintlock guns. But arquebuses, for the Liangshan army, as well, were enough.

Arquebus has a powerful armor-breaking ability! It is completely possible to replace the crossbow!

Before the future battle, the musketeers went first, firing several successive waves of muskets after taking out the heavy armored infantry in the front row of the enemy. Then the enemy’s army formation will become vulnerable!

The biggest effect of arquebus is to break armor, not large-scale long-range fire killing, so it is enough to replace the crossbowman, and there is no need to make large-scale adjustments to the troops under it.

And behind the natural science laboratory this building, plus the appearance of researchers. Let the territory really begin to embark on the era of scientific and technological development.

Just a cursory look, Xiao Chen was in a good mood.

After the town center is upgraded, only a small adjustment is required, and the strength of the territory will be greatly improved! In particular, in terms of the combat effectiveness of the Liangshan Army, it has improved by leaps and bounds!
