Chapter 850: The Terrible Current Situation Part 1

One week after the Death Continent started the Death Purgatory season, the Pingzhou Army held a high-level civil and military joint meeting.

It's not that Shang Ji didn't want to open it earlier, but that the situation was too critical before, whether it was the main generals or high-ranking civil servants, they were too busy to keep their feet on the ground, and there was no time for the meeting.

After seven days of sorting out and adapting, the Pingzhou Army finally passed the most difficult moment. Although there have been some floods, fires, rebellions and other disturbances from time to time recently, the Pingzhou Army, which has gradually adapted to the rhythm of the death storm, can basically move freely. dealt with.

After all, so many historical military generals are not for nothing. They were caught off guard at the beginning, but after reacting, the historical generals quickly showed their abilities. Whether it was to quell the rebellion or to rectify the order, each of them did it quite smoothly.

"Wen Ruo, first introduce the current situation of our army."

Xun immediately got up, looked around the group and said: "My lord, in the past few months, our army has suppressed the bandits on the one hand to rectify law and order, and on the other hand vigorously cultivated health and development of production, which has significantly improved the situation of our army.

According to my lord's instructions before my departure, after my lord's expedition to the Indian region, our army began to reorganize its strength, shrinking the army from more than 200 legions with 24 million people to 136 legions with 15 million people people. Although the number of troops has been reduced by as much as nine million, all those eliminated are old, weak, sick and disabled. After three months of rigorous training, our army's comprehensive combat power has not only not decreased, but has increased a lot! "

As he said that, Xun slightly smiled proudly, and continued: "It is precisely because of these measures that our army's performance in the face of the death storm is obviously better than other forces, and the losses suffered are the smallest in horizontal comparison! "

It’s a matter of disaster, in fact, it’s afraid of comparison!

Objectively speaking, in the past week, hundreds of disasters, large and small, have occurred within the territory of the Pingzhou Army, and there have been more than 150 casualties with more than 1,000 casualties. And the super-large-scale earthquake in Canghe City caused more than 700,000 military and civilian casualties at one time, and the lost manpower and material resources cannot be counted!

but!

Compared with other surrounding forces, the performance of the Pingzhou Army, which has been resting for several months, is much better.

After three months of going all out to cultivate their health and rest, and through the full administration of Xun and other government personnel, the public security of the main cities in the Pingzhou military area is basically above 80.

Even if 20 points were deducted due to the arrival of the season of death and purgatory, it could still barely maintain above the passing line.

In some countries and regions, it was miserable. They only cared about overdrafting the people's power and militarily seized the territory. The death storm blew over, and the people's hearts and public security in many cities plummeted crazily.

In addition, during the season of death and purgatory, the obedience of residents has dropped significantly, the probability of riots has soared, and domestic rebellions have emerged one after another.

Natural disasters surged up all at once, and some countries were even directly driven out of the city by the rioting aborigines, becoming an alternative force in exile that destroyed the country.

Fortunately, everyone has been miserable recently and has no time to invade other countries, otherwise these unlucky countries will really perish.

"What is the current state of the army?"

"My lord, thanks to my lord's wisdom, the old and weak troops with low morale and poor combat power were abolished in advance. The remaining troops of our army are all elites. Under the general's concerted suppression, no major disturbances have occurred. At present, the loyalty and morale of the army are close to slowly recovering, and I believe it will not be long before they can return to their full glory!"

As the chief strategist, Xi Zhicai got up and reported the situation of the army.

It's a coincidence to say that,

In order to deal with the Theocratic Alliance, Shang Ji frantically recruited cheap Yellow Turbans, causing the total strength of the Pingzhou Army to balloon to more than 20 million.

However, everyone knows the combat effectiveness of the ordinary Yellow Turban Army. Of course, Yi Shangji's character will not let these sloppy troops waste food.

After repelling the Theocratic Alliance, the Pingzhou Army launched a vigorous disarmament operation under Shang Ji's signal.

Except for some talented people, all other newly recruited Yellow Turbans were abolished. Although doing so wasted a lot of money and food, it improved the average quality of the Pingzhou army, and even saved Shang Ji from a catastrophe.

Under normal conditions, the discipline, morale, and loyalty of the Yellow Turban Army are quite reluctant. If the Yellow Turban Army, which numbered in the tens of millions, had not been abolished, it is almost certain that the storm of death will come, and the Yellow Turban Army will definitely rebel on a large scale!

Although the combat effectiveness of the Yellow Turban Army is not high, but the number is huge, and they are within their own side. Once they rebel, the blow to the Pingzhou Army will be almost fatal!

Of course, Shang Ji didn't have the foresight to predict the outbreak of the death storm. He just simply didn't like having a large number of cannon fodder in his army.

"How is the disaster situation of our army recently? Have you calculated the specific data? What are the long-term effects of the season of death and purgatory? What changes will be brought about by the death storm in the current national war situation?"

After knowing that the army had basically stabilized, Shang Ji also let out a sigh of relief. As long as the army is stable, everything is not a problem. After grasping the situation, Shang Ji had time to turn his attention to the death storm, thinking about the far-reaching impact of the death storm on the Guozhan Continent.

This question was obviously asked to counselors such as Guo Jia, Xi Zhicai, and Xun. The three looked at each other and nodded, and then Xi Zhicai answered Shang Ji's question as a representative.

"My lord, according to statistics, in the past week, due to various natural disasters, the total number of casualties under our army has reached 1.32 million, including 80,000 army casualties (including the army whose rebellion was suppressed), Because of the disaster, one large city was basically destroyed and lost its meaning of restoration (Canghe City), seven mid-level cities and twelve small cities were severely damaged and suffered heavy losses.

In terms of materials, a total of 12 warehouses of various sizes have destroyed the materials in the warehouses due to various reasons, with a loss of 7 million shi of grain, 12 million copies of finished military rations, 6 million pieces of cloth, tea, salt, sugar, etc. There are 160,000 shi of various materials. There are 600,000 pairs of armor, 800,000 pieces of various weapons, 120 large catapults, and a large number of basic materials of various colors. "

"Why so many?"

Even with Shang Ji's current worth, he couldn't help but feel a heartache after hearing the specific amount of loss.

Now it's not the same as before, the production efficiency has plummeted, and the prices of many scarce materials have skyrocketed several times in just a few days, and there are still no prices!

"Earthquakes, fires, rainstorms, fires, mobs, and even moths, all kinds of unexpected disasters rushed up, and some warehouses were directly swallowed by Zhu Rong. Even the main city had a warehouse that was flooded with gold due to continuous torrential rain. .”

Xi Zhicai gave a wry smile and explained helplessly.
