Chapter 984 Fifth System Update

On December 20th in the fourth year of Gaia, the Great Xia court issued a series of official appointments.

Appoint the siege lion as the governor of Jiangchuan, responsible for the preparation of the governor's yamen of Jiangchuan Province in Black Lion City. Of the remaining eleven lords, four were transferred to be sheriffs and seven were transferred to magistrates, all of whom were of course serving in other provinces.

Ju Shou, who was born in Black Lion City, was appointed as a Bachelor of the Senior Advisory Council, becoming the fifth top counselor of the Senior Advisory Council, and Tian ranked last. With such a lineup in the Senior Advisory Council, Ouyang Shuo no longer longed for the counselor Guo Jia who had never surfaced.

The troops in Jiangchuan Province will also be streamlined and reorganized. The relatively stable environment has not tempered the troops in the twelve territories of the province, and their overall quality is not even comparable to that of the Daxia garrison.

Ouyang Shuo sent an order to the Privy Council to abolish half of the territory's army according to the previous model of abolishing the local garrison, and disperse them into the provinces. Apart from allocating 20,000 people to the Oakland Corps of the streamlined elite troops, the rest of the troops were reorganized into two field regiments.

Except for the imperial guards, all the existing group army numbers are full, so Ouyang Shuo simply activated a new group army number - Feixiong Army.

Appoint Chen Tang as the commander of the first regiment of the Flying Bear Army, and Pei Xingyan as the commander of the first division.

【Name】: Chen Tang (Wang class)

【Dynasty】: Western Han Dynasty

[Identity]: Commander of the First Legion of the Great Xia Flying Bear Army

[Occupation]: Senior General

[Loyalty]: 80 points

[Commander]: 78 [Force]: 70 [Intelligence]: 55 [Politics]: 55

[Speciality]: surprise attack (increase troop attack power by 10%, increase marching speed by 25%)

[Comment]: Guannei Hou Chentang is a man of deep courage, with big thoughts, many strategies, and great achievements. Cutting Zhizhi forward, powerfully shocking a hundred barbarians, Wuchang Xihai, since the Han and Yuan Dynasties, there has never been a general who conquered outside the country.

The former lord of Chen Tang was Huo Huo, the lord of Qingyun City in Jiangchuan Province. He cooperated with the [Shanhai League] in the first two battles, and thus forged a good relationship.

In Jiangchuan Province, Huo Huo is the Austrian aid of the siege lion, and the two jointly control the general situation of Jiangchuan Province, making it always under Daxia's control. After this merger, Huo Huo was appointed as the sheriff, which is well deserved.

Appoint Pei Renji as the commander of the Second Army of the Flying Bear Army.

Pei Renji has already informed Shan Haiwei of Li Mi's whereabouts. Just yesterday, Ying Wei sent a small team to Li Mi's hiding place to arrest him quietly. I believe there will be results soon.

In this way, Pei Renji also won Ouyang Shuo's trust and was entrusted with a heavy responsibility.

According to the plan, after this round of streamlining and reorganization of the army is completed, the Feixiong Army will be stationed at the junction of Jiangchuan Province and Southern Anhui Province, and will be responsible for monitoring the Southern Anhui Province.

【Yanhuang League】At this time, they are also busy taking over the southern province of Anhui. The strange thing is, according to the information detected by Shanhaiwei, whether it is the previous military operations or the post-war reception work, Dichen is in the lead.

Perhaps, [Yanhuang League] is also going through a drastic change internally.

…………

After announcing the appointment, Daxia took over the Jiangchuan Province in an orderly manner, and did not do anything else, which disappointed the "spectators" and let out a sigh of relief.

In the blink of an eye, five years of Gaia came quietly.

On December 30th, a system announcement resounded all over the world.

"World Announcement: On the occasion of the fourth anniversary of the operation of "Earth Online", the game will undergo the fifth update, which will take effect immediately. Please log on to the official website to check the details."

As soon as the announcement came out, Ouyang Shuo immediately logged on to the official website to check the update.

【1】The construction is 100% real.

As the population of the wilderness continues to grow and the population density reaches a medium level, Gaia completely cancels the lord's benefits, whether it is the construction of buildings or the manufacture of weapons and equipment, all speed bonuses are cancelled.

As long as it takes in reality, it takes as long as it takes in the game world. Taking the construction of a Z1 warship as an example, the construction period was only one month before, but now it has been postponed to four months.

In this way, not only the manufacturing efficiency is greatly reduced, but also the manufacturing cost is greatly increased. Since then, Gaia has put forward higher requirements for the refined management level of the territory.

Whoever can do a good job in refined management will stand out.

[2] Introduce the natural disaster system.

In ancient agricultural societies, food production was closely related to climate. Natural disasters such as droughts, floods, and pests may reduce crop yields or even result in no crops.

Basically, the imperial court provides disaster relief every year, but the extent of the disasters is different. Some natural disasters even directly became the fuse of the peasant uprising, leading the dynasty into a situation of eternal doom.

Disaster relief has always been an unbearable pain for the dynasty.

Although there is also a weather system in the game, but before that, Gaia was obviously very "friendly" to the wilderness. Let alone a good harvest all year round, at least there will be no major disasters, and the basic harvest is guaranteed.

Such a [characteristic] powerful dynasty like Daxia has never done disaster relief.

From Gaia five years on, everything will be different. Local granaries will have to store enough grain to meet needs in bad years. Once a natural disaster strikes, the imperial court has to allocate a large amount of gold coins for disaster relief.

Perhaps from this moment on, all the lords have to pray that the weather will be smooth.

【3】Comprehensively improve NPC intelligence.

This update is mainly aimed at tens of thousands of ordinary NPCs. Before that, the people in the territory were basically good people, easy to manage, diligent and hardworking, just like a group of docile sheep.

From now on, things will be quite different.

Among the people, there are good people and bad people; some are hardworking and simple, and some are idle;

Officials and sergeants will also become more complicated and have selfish distractions.

The entire officialdom ecology will be several times, even ten times more complicated than before.

All in all, like the previous two updates, both put forward higher requirements for the refined management of territories.

Of course, there are disadvantages and advantages. After NPC intelligence is improved, the qualifications of grassroots officials and military officers will also be improved. As long as they are properly trained, it can actually improve the level of government affairs and the quality of the army.

How effective it is depends on whether the territorial system is sound.

In this regard, Ouyang Shuo is full of confidence. Since the first level of the village, Ouyang Shuo has attached great importance to the establishment of the system. Up to now, the system of the entire Great Xia Dynasty has been very sound and orderly.

[4] Further increase the marching speed.

After the update, the standard marching speed will be increased to the station level, which means that the adverse effect of the game map zoom on the marching has been completely eliminated.

With the blessing of [Characteristics], the marching speed of some troops even exceeds the ancient level. This update has basically cleared away geographical barriers for the expansion of the game dynasty's territory.

【5】Open the meritorious task system.

In addition to the existing task system, a meritorious task system is added. The lord can receive special meritorious tasks to quickly increase the meritorious value, promote the title, and clear the way for the advancement of the territory.

Seeing this item, Ouyang Shuo's eyes froze.

It's not that Ouyang Shuo is narcissistic, he always feels that Gaia's launch of this update is aimed at him with far more merit than other lords.

Gaia can't break the rules and weaken Ouyang Shuo's meritorious value, but can assist other lords to quickly increase their meritorious value through meritorious tasks, narrowing the gap with Ouyang Shuo.

"Am I so hated?" Ouyang Shuo was quite speechless.

【6】Open a higher level of title and prestige level.

If the last update is still vague, then this update is 100% caused by Ouyang Shuo. Whether it is title or prestige, Ouyang Shuo has reached the top level in Gaia for four years.

It would be embarrassing for Gaia not to take this opportunity to update.

The first is the title. The [Viscount of Heaven] is set up above the Wangjue. The merit value requirement is 5 million points, which is 3 million points higher than the Wangjue, and it has crossed a large level.

Then there is reputation. To set up [Glorious Kyushu] on top of [Fame], the prestige value requirement is also 5 million points, which is 4 million points higher than [Fame].

Gaia was ruthless this time, deliberately making it impossible for people to reach the top prestige.

Ouyang Shuo took a look. His current merit value is 2.26 million points, and his reputation value is 2.65 million points. There is still a big gap between him and the next level, so there is no need to think about it in a short time.

【7】Open the global alliance system.

The alliance between lords will no longer be limited to one country, but can be formed all over the world.

Gaia's move aims to promote a global alliance and confrontation, and place the territories that have survived rounds of brutal competition on a higher and broader platform to participate in the competition.

There is no strongest, only stronger.

A new round of lord struggle is about to begin.

[8] Give Wangcheng greater autonomy.

First of all, regardless of whether the emperor is stationed or not, the county where the royal city is located will be an absolute forbidden zone, and the territorial army is prohibited from setting foot in it. Otherwise, it will be regarded as a provocation to the royal city, and a war may detonate in minutes.

Secondly, Gaia gives greater autonomy to the royal city where the emperor is stationed. Where there is unowned land in the province where the royal city is located, the royal city can be occupied by troops and included in the territory of the dynasty.

When Ouyang Shuo saw this update, his first reaction was Central Plains Province.

In the whole of China, there is only the Central Plains Province, which is an unowned land, but the Luoyang Dynasty also had Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty settle in. With the style of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, I am afraid that he will not turn a blind eye to the fat around his mouth.

Dichen and the others are probably regretting their guts. If they had chosen to attack the Central Plains Province instead of the Southern Anhui Province, they would have nothing to do with Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

Then again, if the [Yanhuang League] took the Central Plains Province first, then after Daxia annexed Jiangchuan Province, it would be impossible for the [Yanhuang League] to take down the Southern Anhui Province.

A drink and a peck, all have a fixed number.

Thinking a little further, after the Central Plains Province's path was suddenly cut off, the [Yanhuang League] would definitely target Western Chu, and they had no choice.

This time, Xiang Yu might suffer.

Eastern Shandong Province has no border with Great Xia, so even if Ouyang Shuo wanted to rescue him, he would be powerless. Furthermore, with Xiang Yu's disposition, whether he can accept Da Xia's rescue is another matter.

This is almost a deadlock.
