Chapter 81: Merit Exchange
"The Yellow Turban warriors also have the characteristics of a 'great sage teacher'! Sure enough, the rewards for choosing the Yellow Turban Army camp may not be worse than the rewards for the Han Dynasty court camp!"
In the Hanzhong Basin, Zhuang Dao, the number one leader in the Yellow Turban Army camp, also received the notification from the system almost at the same time that Chutian received it.
Compared with the characteristics of Sheshengying and "Great Han Army Soul" that Chutian obtained, the rewards he obtained were the exclusive unit Yellow Turban Warriors and Zhang Jiao's characteristics of "Great Master".
Which one has better rewards depends on different people's opinions and their own methods.
"The lord of the Han army camp should be a lord in Xuzhou District. Xuzhou is far away from Hanzhong, so there is no need to consider his threat for the time being. The biggest threat at hand is the lords of Guanzhong, Xiliang, and Xishu."
Zhang Dao noticed that Chu Tian ranked first in the Han army camp and silently wrote down this name.
Chu Tian returned to the lord's mansion, took a bath, took off his clothes, and burned incense.
Before using military merit exchange rewards and historical hero recruitment orders, you must have a sense of ritual to recruit higher-level heroes. If you recruit a hero that even Chu Tian has never heard of, it will be a waste of resources.
Military merit exchange can be exchanged for official positions, skill books, treasures, elixirs, architectural drawings, war horses...
Chu Tian first checked the official positions that could be redeemed.
The official positions and real power in the Eastern Han Dynasty are not consistent. You may be a general, a general of hussars, a general of cavalry, or a pastor of Xuzhou, but as long as you don't have soldiers, you have no say. After controlling the emperor of the Han Dynasty, your official positions will be even more
It is worthless.
But official positions are indispensable.
Only by obtaining an official position from the court can you legitimately conquer other princes, recruit talents, and gain the support of the people and wealthy families. As far as "Lord" is concerned, the benefits of official positions are obvious, and the most obvious effect is to increase the number of special talents in the territory.
The probability of appearance attracts refugees, expands the political influence of the territory, and makes it easier for wealthy families and mountain barbarians to surrender.
"Can I still redeem it for Xuzhou Mu?"
Chutian saw Xuzhou Mu's official position. If he could use the title of Xuzhou Mu, who was conferred by the imperial court, wouldn't he be able to expel Tao Qian and take over Xuzhou openly and openly in the future?
"Ding! Zhou Mu needs one million military exploits, and your military exploits are not enough to redeem it."
Chu Tian's fantasy was shattered.
Obviously, the status of a prince like Zhou Mu is not so easy to obtain.
"Langya phase."
"Ding! Langya Xiang needs one hundred thousand military merits, and your military merits are not enough to redeem it."
"The magistrate of Kaiyang County."
"Ding! The Kaiyang County Magistrate needs 10,000 battle credits. Do you want to redeem it?"
Chu Tian found an official position that could be redeemed, but hesitated.
He has 14114 points of military merit, and changing the official position of Kaiyang County Magistrate requires 10000 points of military merit. If he changes this official position, he will only have 4114 points of military merit on hand.
It sounds like the magistrate of Kaiyang County can be in charge of a county, which is considered a high official in Xuzhou. After all, there are only a dozen counties in Langya Kingdom, and there are only dozens of counties in Xuzhou as a whole.
But as the saying goes, only soldiers have power.
Zang Ba, Sun Guan and other princes were entrenched in the Langya Kingdom. Even if Chu Tian was granted the title of Kaiyang County Magistrate by the court, he would not be able to control Kaiyang County.
"Having soldiers, food and money is the way to go, and an official position is enough. In the future, if you please Dong Zhuo, offer gold and silver, and let him make me a hussar general, wouldn't it be much better than the magistrate of Kaiyang County?"
Chu Tian thought of another way to save the country.
Military merit is very valuable and can only be obtained by participating in epic battles and national wars. Just choose an ordinary official position.
"Kaiyang County Lieutenant is in charge of public security in Kaiyang County. The additional effects are related to military and public security. It only requires 5,000 combat merits."
Chutian saw that the official position of Kaiyang County Lieutenant had a salary of two hundred dan, which was lower than the county magistrate. It only had half the military merit, but the price-performance ratio was probably higher. He could also legitimately manage public security in Kaiyang County and suppress bandits.
Liu Bei once served as the county captain of Anxi County in Jizhou.
[Official Position]: Kaiyang County Lieutenant
[Responsibilities]: In charge of public security in Kaiyang County
[Effect]: The security within the territory is not easy to decline, the probability of mountain barbarians, water bandits, and horse thieves gathering near the territory is reduced, the probability of special talents taking refuge is slightly increased, and the hostility of NPC forces is not easy to increase when attacking other lords in Kaiyang County.
[Required combat merit]: 5000
Chutian reserved the position of Kaiyang County Captain, and some ambitious lords should also exchange their official positions in their respective counties and start preparing for the future competition in the Central Plains.
There are still 9114 points of combat merit.
Chu Tian browsed in detail among the hundreds of redeemable rewards, his eyes focused on three of the architectural drawings.
He suddenly froze and took a breath. They were three barracks drawings.
If it were just a low-level barracks building drawing, Chu Tian wouldn't be surprised, but this is a sixth-level barracks building drawing!
The architectural drawings of the sixth-level infantry battalion require 5,000 combat merits; the architectural drawings of the sixth-level archer battalion require 10,000 combat merits; the sixth-level cavalry battalion requires 20,000 combat merits.
Chu Tian now understands how important military exploits are. Some drawings that may not be available in auction houses can be exchanged for military exploits.
Although Chu Tian wanted to get them all, the remaining military merits were no longer enough to exchange for the architectural drawings of the sixth-level infantry battalion, archer battalion, and cavalry battalion at the same time. Chutian could only choose the architectural drawings of the sixth-level infantry battalion that required the least military merit.
Zhou Yafu, a famous general in the Western Han Dynasty, had a special unit, the Xiliu Camp, which was the sixth-level infantry. With this architectural drawing of the sixth-level infantry battalion, the sixth-level infantry battalion was completed, and in theory, the special unit "Xiliu Camp" could be recruited.
Xia Town does not yet have a special unit.
The training cost of archers and cavalry is higher than that of ordinary light infantry, so we can only consider it later.
Chutian wanted to recruit a sixth-level archer battalion, but the ten thousand battle merit required for the sixth-level archer battalion drawing was too much.
In exchange for the architectural drawings of Kaiyang County Lieutenant and the sixth-level infantry battalion, Chutian's battle merit points were only 4114 points.
He exchanged another batch of architectural drawings to upgrade Xia Town to a third-level town as soon as possible. This batch of drawings included an intermediate martial arts hall (a fourth-level building), a rural private school (a third-level building), a small music studio (a third-level building)...
…
After using all his military exploits, Chu Tian gave up.
There are still many good things that Chu Tian covets, but the military merit is not enough. For example, the bloody horse of the Western Region Protectorate requires 20,000 military merit.
"In future epic battles and national wars, we just need to try to gain more military exploits."
Priceless architectural drawings appeared on Chutian's desk, the most precious of which was an architectural drawing of a sixth-level infantry battalion.
Having the architectural drawings of the sixth-level infantry battalion does not mean that the sixth-level Xiliu battalion can be recruited immediately. Resources must be mobilized to build the sixth-level infantry battalion, recruit local warriors in Xia Town and affiliated villages and towns, and then send them to the sixth-level infantry battalion for training.
Xiang Yong was transferred to Xiliu Camp Infantry. His initial level was level 10. He still needed to go through countless battles before he could grow into a level 100 veteran.
It is said that raising an army for a thousand days and using it for a period of time means a thousand days, which is three years.
After Chu Tian consumed all his military exploits, he finally took out the random historical hero recruitment order.
"I'm not greedy either. I can just recruit Bai Qi or Wu Qi, or Qin Qiong, Li Cunxiao, and Chang Yuchun can barely use them."
