After seeing off Tian Wenjing and Du Xiaolan, Ouyang Shuo got up and left the mansion. He was going to go to the military camp to pick a fire chief, and he would follow Gu Xiuwen to Beihai Village to form a guard.
Among the ten fire chiefs on active duty, Zhang Daniu, Zhao Sihu and Li Mingliang are serving as squadron commanders of the infantry squadron. Among the remaining seven fire chiefs, Liao Kai and Zhou Feng were the best, but they didn't know that Lin Yi would not let them go.
At the gate of the barracks, a recruiting notice for recruits had already been posted. A group of young men from Shanhai Town surrounded the recruiting notice and talked a lot.
"Look, the barracks has posted a recruitment notice again, this time you can't miss it!"
"Come on, stinky bastard, last time you participated in the screening, you were rejected, why are you joining in the fun this time!"
"That's right, that's right, now it's our turn to show our talents, hehe!"
"You know what, last time I was recruited as a cavalry soldier, I was rejected because of poor eyesight. I was excellent in the two tests of body shape and physical fitness. This time I was recruited as an infantry soldier, so I will definitely be selected. .”
"Hey, let's see if you can. I'm no worse than you. If you can choose, I'm sure I can too!"
"Yes, yes. If you want me to say, in our Shanhai Town, being a soldier is the most glorious. You haven't seen the idiot of Uncle Tie's family. Since he became the chief of the fire, he has managed a dozen or so people under his command. He is so majestic! "
"Yes. There is also Liao Kai from Mama Wu's family. Not only did he become the head of the fire, but even the lord personally met him. To make Mama Wu happy, she would tell everyone what happened to their kid , don’t let my mother envy me. This time I also want to join the army, and if I can become the commander of the fire one day, it will be great!"
"It's a pity that only infantry is recruited this time. I still like cavalry. Riding a war horse is so majestic!"
"You don't understand anything at first glance. Infantry and cavalry, each has its own strengths, and there is no distinction between high and low. I have seen heavy infantry in armor all over the body. When the light cavalry meet them, they can only deliver food."
"That's right! You have to rely on infantry to attack cities and pull out strongholds."
"Hmph, I still think the cavalry is powerful. A collective charge can penetrate any phalanx for you!"
"Hey, don't fight, you really want to fight, wait until you are admitted first!"
"That's right, I haven't been selected yet, so I started daydreaming."
"Let me tell you, let's stop standing at the door, go in and sign up!"
"Speaking, let's go~~~"
A group of people rushed towards the barracks mightily.
It seems that the enthusiasm of the people in the town to join the army is very high. For some reason, Ouyang Shuo suddenly felt sad. These passionate youths only saw the glory of being a soldier, but they didn't see the tragedy of dying on the battlefield, and the desolation of being seriously injured and retiring from the army.
Shaking his head, Ouyang Shuo suppressed the emotion in his heart, followed behind them, and walked into the barracks slowly. On the grounds of the military camp, there was already a long queue, and there were no less than a hundred people who signed up for the dispatch on the first day alone.
Shi Wansui was sitting on a chair in front of the school grounds, with two fierce soldiers standing behind him, who stunned all the newcomers who signed up for the army.
Ouyang Shuo ignored Shi Wansui's playfulness and went straight to Lin Yi.
After the two came to the reception room of the military camp and sat down, Ouyang Shuo smiled and said, "How is it? You just took over the cavalry squadron, are you still used to it?"
"It's okay." Lin Yi replied with a smile. Of course he would not complain to the adults, saying that General Shi's influence still plays a role in the cavalry squadron. The appointment of him as the captain of the cavalry squadron by the adults is not only his appreciation, but also his test. If he can't even overcome this difficulty, then he is not worthy of staying in the position of squadron leader.
This time Ouyang Shuo transferred Shi Wansui from the cavalry squadron and sent him to train recruits, which was a warning to him. If there is an adventurous advance like last time, he will not forgive him. Until he finds a suitable staff officer with the army, Ouyang Shuo is not going to let Shi Wansui lead the army alone again. At this stage, Shanhai Town doesn't have enough background to withstand many tragic victories.
"That's good, I'm here to borrow someone from you this time." Ouyang Shuo finished the greetings and got straight to the point.
"Just do what your lord tells you."
"That's how it is. The territory is going to establish an affiliated village in the Beimu Salt Field—Beihai Village. In order to quickly form a combat-capable garrison, I decided to choose one of the active fire chiefs to go to Beihai Village. Command the defense team. Do you have any suitable candidates to recommend?" Ouyang Shuo did not directly appoint a certain fire commander, but wanted to hear Lin Yi's opinion.
"Well, the general wants to ask, how many people are you going to have in this defense team?" Lin Yi didn't answer directly, but first asked about the situation of the defense team.
"The security threat of Beihai Village is much lower than that of Shanhai Village before. Therefore, the garrison team is tentatively set at 50 people, which is exactly the size of a team."
"In this case, the Huo Zhang who went to Beihai Village to take up the post will be promoted in disguise. The general thinks that Liao Kai and Zhou Feng are more suitable." Lin Yi said with a smile.
This did not exceed Ouyang Shuo's previous expectations. Such an answer did not satisfy him, so he asked, "So, Liao Kai or Zhou Feng, which one do you think is more suitable?"
Lin Yi was a little embarrassed, thought about it carefully, and said a name: "Zhou Feng!"
"reason?"
"How should I put it, these two people have their own merits, so it can be said that they are not the same as Zhongbo. Liao Kai is bloody, daring to fight, and he is unambiguous in charging. Zhou Feng is calm and calm, does not panic when things happen, and is courageous and resourceful. As far as Beihai Village is concerned, if you want to choose a defender who can play his own role, you will be more inclined to Zhou Feng in the end." I can't tell that Lin Yi's comments on these two are so sharp.
"Okay, I'll do as you said. You inform Zhou Feng and ask him to leave with Mr. Gu tomorrow." Ouyang Shuo did not hesitate, and chose to trust Lin Yi's judgment.
After confirming the candidate for Beihai Village's garrison team, Ouyang Shuo didn't stay in the barracks for too long and returned directly to the lord's mansion. When I went back, it was already five o'clock in the afternoon. Although there were still many things to be arranged, the time was not allowed. He simply returned to his office, stayed alone without seeing anyone, and began to plan the layout of the town level in his mind.
After being promoted to a township, with the rapid expansion of the territory, the player's territory is no longer as isolated or peaceful as in the village stage. It is very likely that there is another player's territory not far from your territory. Or maybe, after you upgrade your territory, you suddenly find that your territory has begun to border on other players' territories.
At this time, how to deal with the relationship between neighbors is very delicate. After all, "Earth Online" is a game with territorial hegemony as its core element, and war and death are the themes of this world. As the saying goes, how can you allow others to snore and sleep on the side of the couch.
As long as a player with a little bit of ambition or ambition will not think about being friends with his neighbors. Whether it's just pretending to be a snake, or sharpening the knife, the ultimate goal is to completely destroy the other party and win a broader development space for one's own territory.
This kind of war between territories will be the theme of the mid-game. At the county level, the battle between players is the most intense, and the wilderness will stage a drama of occupation and destruction every day. The township stage is just the prelude to the lord's war, not even an appetizer.
Even if this is the case, you have to prepare early. Not to mention, in the Lianzhou Basin, since the territorial defense battle, there are at least seventy player territories. Not to mention, the three territories on the Dali regional leaderboard.
The military intelligence department was established earlier to serve this strategic purpose.
When he went offline at night, Ouyang Shuo still hadn't figured it out. At this stage, we can only take one step at a time. After all, Shanhai Town is the territory of a town in the world now, and other players are still struggling in the village stage, and it is not yet time to meet each other.
After coming out of the game cabin, Ouyang Shuo ran around the community a few times as usual. As the Spring Festival approaches, the community also begins to slowly fill with a taste of the Spring Festival.
At the gate of the complex, the property company placed two huge kumquats, surrounded by a circle of chrysanthemums, which was very festive. Red lanterns and banners saying "Happy New Year" have also been put up.
Seeing the kumquats placed in the community, Ouyang Shuo thought of the traditional flower market in Jiaozhou. It just so happens that the weather is nice today, why not take Binger out for a stroll!
Just do what you say, after returning home, Ouyang Shuo called up the little girl who was still sleeping late, and said, "Honey, get up, my brother will take you to the flower market today, if it's late, it will be too late."
Hearing that she was going to go out to play, Xiao Nizi woke up instantly, no longer stayed in bed, got up with a grunt, and ran to wash up. What a little monkey, Ouyang Shuo shook his head with a wry smile.
The winter jasmine flower market in Jiaozhou can be regarded as a grand gathering of traditional folk culture of the Han nationality. It is full of flowers and crowds, and it is very lively.
For Jiaozhou people, flowers are indispensable during the Spring Festival. Because flowers are a symbol of beauty and can bring beautiful scenes to people. There are many kinds of flowers, colorful, fragrant and different shapes, which are closely related and closely connected with people's life, adding infinite leisure to a beautiful life.
Shuttle among the sea of flowers, Binger is like a happy little deer, looking here and there. From time to time, she stopped, stood beside her favorite flowers, and asked her brother to take pictures of her.
In the flower market, kumquats, peach blossoms and narcissus are the most sold. These three kinds of flowers are called annual flowers. Kumquat, because orange and auspicious in Cantonese have the same pronunciation, buy a pot and put it at home to symbolize good luck. Peach blossoms symbolize great success, and young people hope to have good luck in peach blossoms. Narcissus symbolizes wealth and auspiciousness.
Naturally, Ouyang Shuo couldn't avoid it. He bought a pot for each of the three and brought them home with Bing'er.
