Wasn't it just fine?

Isn’t Wu Jiaoying’s plan about to succeed?

Wasn’t the young leader of the bandits already hesitating?

Aren’t the lives of everyone in the palace about to be saved?

Why did the bandit leader suddenly turn against Wu Jiaoying and behead her?

The nobles of the Wu vassal state were overwhelmed with grief and burst into tears immediately.

"Damn, these guys are still alive. It's not safe." Shu Yichao turned his head to look at the nobles of Wu Fan.

A debuff generator just popped up. Who knows if there's something similar here?

So don't take him there to be beheaded, lest you have more troubles.

“Kill them all.

"Leave no one behind!"

The pea-gunners who were escorting the nobles of the Wu clan raised their guns without hesitation.

"Bang, bang, bang!!" After a burst of gunfire like popping beans, the entire Wu Fan force was completely wiped out amid the flow of blood.

Wu Changbo fought from Shanhaiguan to Kunming Lake, and the prosperity and wealth stained with the blood of countless people were destroyed in the same way!

Chapter 718 - Prelude to the Northern Expedition

Kunming city.

Now it's a bloody and horrible place.

Outside the city, countless heads with pigtails were piled up into towering peaks, and then they looked at the people passing by with empty eyes.

The former powerful and influential people were slaughtered one by one along with their families, with blood everywhere and corpses piled up everywhere.

The remaining residents closed their doors and windows one by one, not daring to make the slightest sound.

The men racked their brains to hide their little food and belongings in cellars or haystacks.

The women were busy smearing stove soot on their faces, trying their best to make themselves look ugly.

As the saying goes, bandits are like combs, and soldiers are like rakes. Wu Changbo has been in Yunnan for several years, and he has made them know what war is.

Although it is not clear what the difference is between the new plant army entering the city and the previous soldiers, I think they should be similar.

Don't be surprised if they kick down the door, rush into the house to burn, kill, and loot, or even cause internal conflict while fighting over treasures.

But to the surprise of these residents, they waited for a long time but no vegetative person came to their door.

Nor did I hear any noise of looting or protection rackets outside.

"What are those bandits doing?"

The Kunming soldiers and civilians looked at each other in confusion as they waited for nothing.

Just when they were puzzled, Shu Yichao, who occupied Kunming City, was studying his new mechanism.

[You captured a capital.]

[Should we cancel the wandering mode and switch to the settlement mode?]

[More soldiers can be unlocked in settlement mode.]

"Yes Yes Yes.

Shu Yichao confirmed it immediately.

[Kunming has been automatically designated as the capital.]

[Are you sure you want to name your new faction "Ming"?]

"Confirm, confirm." Shu Yichao confirmed in a series of crackling sounds.

[A new fusionable item has been detected.]

[The Black Lotus Base can be upgraded to a World Sapling.]

[After upgrading to a World Sapling, recruitment limits will increase, resource collection will be accelerated, and military technology research will begin... 1

[Whether to upgrade.]

"Upgrade." Shu Yichao said without hesitation.

The next second, the World Tree sapling in his hand flew out and merged with the inky black lotus base.

[The Black Lotus Base has been upgraded to a World Sapling.]

"Boom!!" The pitch-black lotus drilled into the ground and then turned into millions of roots as thick as buckets.

They intertwine, melt into each other, and entwine with each other -

It eventually turned into a huge wooden palace surrounded by greenery and retaining its ancient style.

"Oh wow." Shu Yichao clicked on the boundary of the world sapling.

“I said something was wrong before

"How come a vegetative person doesn't want money or maintenance fees?"

"Recruitment quota?"

"So you were waiting for me here."

"Is there a limit to the number of soldiers we can recruit?"

After a detailed study, Shu Yichao roughly understood the mechanism of his plant army.

First of all, the World Sapling can produce troops as the main base.

The production speed is fast and the quantity is large, but it requires a large amount of nutrients or corpse qi.

Secondly, the army of plants can automatically expand their numbers by taking root and blooming in suitable places.

This method is slower, but the advantage is that you don't have to collect resources everywhere.

But during this period, the rooted plant soldiers could neither move nor fight on the front lines.

And there will inevitably be some by-products in the process

For example, a lot of food.

After all, taking root is almost the same as turning back into a plant.

"Well, in that case." Shu Yichao nodded and started planning quickly.

"The main base is mainly for production, and the idle rooted troops in the back are supplemented by expansion."

"If I have enough idle troops behind me, I can even keep the troops flowing... hehehe.

"Wait- Shit!"

"I forgot there's a recruitment quota."

"Tsk, just 400,000." After seeing the maximum number of his troops, Shu Yichao's face suddenly became long.

“That’s too little.”

"If we station a little here and a little there, won't we run out of resources quickly?"

You know, the public security in Shu Yichao's territory is declining, and there is an urgent need to station troops in various areas to maintain public security.

In addition, some idle personnel have to be left behind for military expansion, so it is a bit difficult to say how many troops can be sent to the front line.

"Tsk."

"My obsessive-compulsive disorder is acting up."

When he opened the small map, he found that there were so many idle lands under his rule that could be used by the plant army to station and bloom. Shu Yichao felt a little distressed.

What a good land! It would be a shame not to plant something on it.

"what?"

Immediately afterwards, Shu Yichao discovered a problem.

"The amount of farmland is actually linked to the military recruitment quota?"

"Oh, fertility, cultivated area, and irrigation ditches... all of them are scored, and the total score is the military recruitment limit.

"Um..."

"Good farmland helps plants grow, that makes sense."

"understood."

"The next step is to farm while developing military equipment - the Green Production and Construction Corps.

“Unfortunately, even the amount of good farmland is limited, and we have to allocate troops to become farmers.

"Strange, is there a bug here?"

Shu Yichao felt that he seemed to have discovered something strange.

Theoretically speaking, this recruitment mechanism is set up very normally.

There are as many soldiers as there are fields.

Farming and warfare have been like this since ancient times.

But the key to the problem is that it is just "existence" and not "use".

"hiss-

"Let me try to see if I can find a bug."

"The decree for checking the land has been issued.

"The decree for granting land has been issued."

"Household registration check, ordered."

A manor somewhere outside Kunming.

"My king, my king, spare my life!"

“Have mercy!”

“We are all tenants.”

"I've never done anything to offend you."

Amidst the strange cries of ghosts and wolves howling, all the tenants in the manor were driven to the open space in the center of the manor.

These people trembled as they looked at the grass and wood monsters that surrounded them, and they could not stop feeling despair in their hearts.

Although it is said that Kunming City was occupied by bandits, the officials in charge seemed to have changed again.

But these days it is quite common to see the king's flag on the city wall changing.

Anyway, it has nothing to do with the common people. They must pay the taxes they should pay, the rent they should pay, and the grain they should pay.

At that time, it would simply be an official from the city coming to inform the village elders.

But they never expected that the bandits would come directly to the countryside!

"What are they going to do?"

From time to time, the low sobs of children and women could be heard in the huge crowd.

I heard that some monsters will ask for tribute.

No, they don't want to eat young boys and girls.

The villagers were panicked.

But soon, they were stunned

The bandits didn't come to rob, but to divide.

The things that are divided are a little bit precious these days.

Title deed.

After Shu Yichao slaughtered all the nobles of the Wu clan, countless acres of land were left vacant.
