"Lord Zhou Mu, what happened?"

Mi Zhu couldn't help but feel a little confused when she saw Chu Tian's words stopped suddenly.

"Let's continue."

Chu Tian was still shocked by the announcement of the second national war and could not recover for a long time.

This time the national war may encounter the lords of any civilization.

And after this national war, the teleportation array at the port will be opened.

These are all events that will affect the world of lords. Even if Chutian does not have the ability to fight across civilizations, he will inevitably be involved in conflicts of civilizations after he obtains Xuzhou because he has two important ports.

"Building sea-going ships and warships according to the original plan, it seems that there is no need to worry about sailing time."

After Chutian determined that the voyage time could be shortened, the value of sea transportation would be restored.

He continued to improve the next changes: "Establish ten horse farms in Xuzhou, and each horse farm must produce at least 1,000 war horses every year. From now on, we in Xuzhou will breed ordinary war horses ourselves, and purchase high-quality war horses from the lords of Longxi."

If all the war horses are purchased from Longxi, then the annual horse purchase expenses will be too high.

"Each county encourages childbirth and levies taxes not based on head count, but on land and income. Families with many children can receive appropriate tax reductions and exemptions..."

Chutian announced all kinds of reform plans, involving all aspects of Xuzhou.

All the officials from the aristocratic families present were shocked by the amount of changes, and the interests of many aristocratic families were also harmed.

If the Langya Kingdom's army had not taken control of Xuzhou, the Xuzhou families might not have been willing to agree to the changes.

The basis for change is to master the military.

Fang Xuanling, Zhou Yafu, Xue Rengui and others had no family interests in the Eastern Han Dynasty. They would definitely support Chutian's changes. The only ones who had to compromise were the aristocratic families.

Only the army can intimidate aristocratic families.

The aristocratic families can resist, but the army will destroy the aristocratic families that resist.

Chu Tian estimated that it would take at least a year to implement the changes, and he would not be in a hurry.

After announcing all the changes, various civil servants left and returned to their respective posts.

Chutian was able to view the content preview of the Second National War.

The Second National War lasted for four months, from August to November in the fourth year of the Lord's Calendar.

The content of the national war is also very concise, with only six simple rules:

"First, the national war battlefield is an independent continent. All major civilized lords (with a population of no less than 100,000) can sign up to participate in the war. They can only bring a maximum of 10,000 people (excluding war horses).

Second, the place of birth is random. Points are obtained by occupying towns and destroying other civilized armies. Every 10 days, a village produces 3 points, a town produces 30 points, and a city produces 300 points.

Third, lords can use the towns on the national war battlefield to recruit troops and obtain supplies. The recruited troops can be brought back to the main world.

Fourth, rewards are settled according to the global rankings.

Fifth, during the national war, the territory was systematically protected.

Sixth, during the national war, all systems of players participating in the war were cut off."

This is the first melee that covers all civilizations in the world, and the rankings are also global rankings, instead of rankings for each civilization area!

The participants in the national war also changed from everyone to big lords with a population of 100,000.

With a population of 100,000... Chutian is a lord with a population of tens of millions.

In an era dominated by cold weapons, a lord's strength was basically directly linked to population. Population was the most important indicator to measure a lord's strength.

The reason why a person with a population of 100,000 can be called a great lord is because the population of other civilized areas may not be as terrifying as that of the Eastern Han Dynasty.

Especially for some scattered civilizations in Europe, tens of thousands of people would be good.

"There are no detailed instructions on the battlefield, and the place of birth is random. This time it's really..."

Chu Tian only knew that the lords of all civilizations were born on the same continent, and they only needed to get the most points within four months.

There are two ways to gain points: occupying towns and destroying the armies of other civilizations.

It seems simple, but Chutian guessed that the number of towns must be small, and the competition may be very fierce.

The fiercer the competition, the better the rewards.

Chutian can decide whether to participate.

"It's better to participate."

Whether it was for the prestige of the Donghan District or for rewards, Chutian had to go there.

Xuzhou was in the farming period, and Chutian was free to participate in the Second National War. By participating in the National War, Xuzhou could also receive systematic protection, and would not have to worry about invasion by foreign enemies.

From this point of view, Xuzhou is safer during farming.

All the great lords in the entire Eastern Han Dynasty knew the content of the Second National War, which caused quite a stir in the entire Eastern Han Dynasty.

"Chu Zimou, you should participate in the national war, right?"

Mingguan, the governor of Liaodong, was the first lord of the Eastern Han Dynasty to take the initiative to contact Chutian. He was a lord who advocated foreign war and had a huge grudge with Cui Zaishan, the lord of Goryeo.

"Maybe."

"If we are born in similar places, we can join forces to attack the lords of other civilizations. As for points, we will negotiate through contributions."

Mingguan came to Chutian not for competition, but for cooperation.

During the national war, the relationship between the great lords who participated in the war was not bad.

Although Chutian will be a strong enemy of Mingguan in the future, he has to unite with other lords in this national war because the lords of other civilizations may join forces.

"There may be hundreds of lords participating in the war in the entire Eastern Han Dynasty, and there may be hundreds or thousands of great lords participating in the war all over the world. If each great lord leads 10,000 troops, then it will be 10 million troops. The land area is very large,

We may not see each other for four months."

"No, there are some weak lords who will not easily participate in national wars. They are worried about being killed or losing their troops. Moreover, the lords participating in the war may not necessarily have 10,000 troops. Not everyone is as perverted as you. There are already tens of millions.

Territory with a population. For a lord with a population of 100,000, if you ask them to use 10,000 troops to fight, once the entire army is wiped out, their territory will basically be scrapped."

"I promise you, if our lords in the Eastern Han District are born in similar places, we will share the same hatred and will never betray."

Chutian and Mingguan reached a verbal agreement.

The alliance during the National War was not strong. Players in the main world did not know what happened during the National War. The only thing that made the alliance strong was their recognition of the identity of the lords of the Eastern Han Dynasty and the enemies they might join forces with.

Mingguan said: "I suspect that the lords of Koryo have begun to collude with the lords of Japan, Southeast Asian countries, and even India to deal with us. We have many lords in the Eastern Han Dynasty, and some of them must have been born in the same area."

Chu Tian's expression gradually became solemn. If Korea, Japan, Southeast Asian countries, and the Mughal Empire of India join forces, then the problem will be huge.

The Eastern Han Dynasty was larger than any of the above-mentioned civilizations, but in terms of population, it was really not as good as the combination of these civilizations. Especially the Mughal Empire in India, which was also a civilization with an astonishing population.

The Eastern Han Dynasty did not have an advantage over the population of the Indian Mughals. The only advantages were heroes and soldiers.

Mingguan reminded Chu Tian: "The Mughals in India still have elephant soldiers and an astonishing number of cavalry. Don't think that there are no cavalry in India. The Mughal Empire is a civilization established by the Turkic Mongols."

"If they really join forces, then we will be in trouble. Will our lords in the Eastern Han District gather together this time to discuss national war?"

"There is nothing to discuss. The place of birth is completely random and the map is unknown. There is no way to formulate tactics in advance and can only adapt to changes. The only thing that needs to be determined is that once our lords from the Eastern Han Dynasty meet during the national war, we must form an alliance and put down the previous

The grievances and grievances are prevented from being broken down one by one."

"I would suggest that all the lords put aside their grudges during the national war. If anyone attacks an ally without authorization during the national war, he will be regarded as an enemy by all the great lords."

Mingguan, the governor of Liaodong, took the initiative to contact the lords of the entire Eastern Han Dynasty. Almost all the great lords of the Eastern Han Dynasty acquiesced to the most basic principle of national war - when the lords of the Eastern Han Dynasty met on the battlefield of the national war, they formed an alliance to jointly deal with the lords of other nearby civilizations.

, no betrayal.

At the same time, all lords in the Eastern Han Dynasty used the flags from the First National War to identify each other during the national war and prevent sneak attacks from other civilizations.

This principle was accepted by all the great lords of the Eastern Han Dynasty.

Chutian is no exception.

What they have to deal with this time may not be just one civilization, but all civilizations from all over the world!

Not all civilizations will be enemies of the Eastern Han District, but for the sake of points, they are at least competitors and not worthy of trust.

The most dangerous thing is the civilization around Donghan District who want to suppress Donghan District.

Chu Tian believed that the Dongying District and the Goryeo District were not the main enemies of the Eastern Han District because their populations were too small compared to the Eastern Han District.

The populations of the Mughal Empire in India and the countries in Southeast Asia were even more terrifying. One had a population similar to that of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and the other had half the population of the Eastern Han Dynasty.

They all regard the Donghan District as their biggest imaginary enemy.

"Why don't we let people farm properly..."

Chu Tian finally wanted to live a comfortable life, but he also had to prepare for the second national war.

This national war is unusual, involving all civilizations, and Chutian has the characteristics of "Khan of Heaven", so it is impossible not to participate in the war.

"Perhaps we can capture tens of thousands of prisoners and use them as servants. These servants are very cheap and are best suited to be used as cannon fodder."

Chutian captured a group of Goguryeo heavy cavalry in the last national war. So far, the Goguryeo heavy cavalry has been almost exhausted. Chutian has no servant army in his hands.

This is also the tragedy of the servant army. In the eyes of their masters, they are just cheap cannon fodder, and it is good if they can be rewarded with a meal.

If you can capture tens of thousands of servants during a national war and drive them to attack cities and territories, the financial pressure can be reduced a lot.
