Summoning Total War

Chapter 21 New System

(There are two updates today. I was busy yesterday and didn’t have time to write.

Search the name on Baidu and read the latest chapter. Today, the city of Athens is busy.

It is not easy to transport so many bugbear slaves, and the temple cannot transform them all for a while. Guarding these brute-force creatures also requires a lot of manpower. Some of the troops drawn back from various places were used as overseers to supervise the work of the goblin kobold slaves, and some were used to imprison the newly captured bugbear slaves until the priests who led the temple stamped their spiritual marks on them to complete their leadership. In the temple, there is a [Slavery of Humanoid Creatures] ceremony given by Athens, the goddess of wisdom.

Since experiencing several major events, the citizens of Athens have become much more nervous.

As the army escorted back so many bugbear slaves at once, they just watched with a little curiosity, and then got ready to plunge into the city's hot construction.

"It's just a few thousand bugbears captured, what's the big deal! Tens of thousands of orcs were defeated by us, and the white dragons turned into corpses and lay in our military camp. What kind of thing is this? It's just childish! You You will know this if you stay in Athens for a long time." In the Rising Sun Tavern, a businessman who had just obtained Athens citizenship not long ago boasted to a former colleague with a face full of pride and pride.

Seeing the envious eyes of his former colleagues, the businessman couldn't help but puff up his chest a little more. Investing in Athens and spending a lot of money to obtain the status of an Athenian citizen is, in his opinion, the most cost-effective investment in his life.

Some of his peers ridiculed him before, but what about now?

There is almost no guarantee for those people's business dealings, so they can only spend a lot of money to hire a team of mercenaries with high salaries. Not to mention whether these mercenaries will regret it after encountering the robber, and whether they will really try their best to help him defend. The consumption of goods alone over a long period of time is difficult for ordinary merchants to support! The credibility of mercenaries actually did not carry much weight in the early days of this era.

But what about in Athens?

The army would often clear out those bandits, and the security in the territory of Athens could be said to be the best in the entire southern plain.

There are troops stationed in every outpost town within the territory. According to his status as an honorary citizen of Athens (contributing funds, or sponsoring supplies to Athens, etc.), he not only has unimpeded access without paying transit fees (one of the important taxes for lords in this era) First, merchants who want to do business in the lord's territory must pay a lot of taxes), and will also be protected by the Athenian army along the way, and according to the honor level, he can request the help of an army from the Athenian garrison when necessary ( 80 Athenian phalanx infantry).

Although the investment in the short term is huge, the benefits gained in the future will surely prove how unique his vision is!

This was the new system that Murphy enacted after upgrading Athens to a large city, which was the hierarchy of citizens.

Search names on Baidu and read the latest chapters to force quge

That is the aristocratic hierarchy in Athens!

This world needs hierarchy, because hierarchy is order. The existence of nobility can be relaxed in the early stage, but after Athens gradually expands, gradually becomes stronger, and gradually establishes a solid political rule, it must be born and established!

Regarding this, Murphy will never follow the old path of this world. He has already thought of a corresponding plan in his mind.

It is most suitable for this era. It will not advance too much and will not cause a backlash from the military side, but it has absolute combat effectiveness and can push the glory of Athens to the aristocratic system at its peak!

That is the [Farming War] of the Great Qin Empire! ! !

The Great Qin Empire was born from 221 BC to 206 BC, which happened to be the same era as the Roman Empire gradually became stronger. However, in this regard, the Great Qin Empire was far superior to the Roman Empire in terms of expansion and combat effectiveness. many! The fundamental reason is because of the military merit system of the Great Qin Empire, that is, the farming and warfare system!

Murphy cannot adopt a system that is too advanced. He cannot advocate the current "everyone is equal" stupidly. The BJ system he specifies must be in line with this era and must not create barriers of the times and cause a backlash from the entire world. It's like Just like when the feudal dynasty preached 'everyone is equal', this one person will definitely die the fastest, because the power rulers, power controllers, bureaucrats, nobles, etc. of the entire dynasty will not mind crushing him easily!

That’s the whole era of backlash.

Because in such an era, there is no tolerance for "everyone is equal" even if it is a slogan, it is treasonous!

This is treason in the true sense, because it is trying to challenge the rules of the entire era!

Intent on destroying the order of this era!

Unless you can conquer the entire world like a clear game, otherwise, you must learn to respect the order of this world and make your own changes reasonably while abiding by the order.

Rome gradually became stronger with the [Marian Reform], and the Qin Dynasty swept the world with the [Farming and War System]!

[Marian Reforms] A series of military reforms were carried out on Rome, which had a profound impact on the historical development of Rome. The reform expanded the source of troops and enhanced the combat effectiveness of the army. At the same time, it also gradually changed the nature of the army, laying the foundation for the emergence of future warlords and the establishment of military dictatorship. In less than a hundred years, the Roman Republic was in a series of civil wars. Later it quickly transformed into the Roman Empire!

[Marian Reform] led to the birth of the Western Qin Empire in the Central Plains, not to mention the farming and warfare system of Great Qin. In just a few years, Great Qin was built into an empire with all the people as soldiers!

If you want to describe it in one sentence, Murphy thinks this sentence is the most suitable.

One by one "It's like turning on a cheating device!"

A professional military.

In fact, the early system of Athens already had the [Marian Reform] under Murphy's subconscious arrangement. If the [Marian Reform] was to professionalize the army, then the Qin Empire's [Farming War System] was to build the entire country into a war machine for external expansion! Based on farming, the military merit system stimulates everyone's enthusiasm.

This world has its limitations.

Whether it is [Marian Reform] or [Farming War System], it will not work if they are copied to this world unchanged.

Murphy must formulate rules according to his own ideas, and find out what suits him and what can be effectively implemented from the systems that can be learned from the previous life on earth to determine the future of Athens.

Maybe it's still crude now, but it will gradually improve in the future.

There is no so-called equality in this world, so the serfs themselves determine that they should live at the bottom of society. They belong to private property. Unless Murphy completely abolishes the slavery system in the future, otherwise, they will not only join the army and serve in the army. , there is almost no way out. Regarding the existence of serfs, that was something that Murphy would only change his consideration in the future after he defeated the Noble Council and took control of human domination.

There were not many serfs in Athens, because the territory belonged to Murphy personally, so Murphy did not need serfs, he needed civilians.

Therefore, the new system also starts from civilians.

Civilians are divided into three classes, namely, lower-class civilians, middle-class civilians and upper-class civilians. Civilians of each level have corresponding status and enjoy corresponding treatment, including reduction of corvee, land grant, children's education, etc.

There is no gain for nothing in this world, and there are only two ways to improve one's status. One is farming. Work hard to farm and turn in food. In addition to the original taxes, the more food resources you turn in, the higher your status will be. , the better you enjoy the treatment. The other one is military merit. Only by joining the army and achieving military merit can one's social status be improved.

Although the Athenian army was powerful, its scarcity was the most fundamental drawback!

In future wars, and even possible racial wars, the number of soldiers will be an important key to determining victory or defeat! Murphy must gradually integrate the indigenous people who control the world and transform them into a part of Athens. Then he must formulate a reasonable system to stimulate their enthusiasm and transform them into a part of Athens.

Today, the dominant force in the civil class is still the Greeks. Among the elite troops of Athens, Murphy uses the professional army in the [Marian Reform].

But for those indigenous people, Murphy needs a more mobilizing and cohesive system.

That is the farming war system!

In Athens, only citizens can serve as officials, and only the children of citizens can receive better education and enjoy better welfare benefits.

The third class of civilians and the sixteenth class of citizens. The title of Athens must rely on military merit to be promoted. The professional army can improve the combat effectiveness of the core troops, and the farming system can expand Athens' soldiers and increase its control over the resources of the entire territory. From the beginning, Murphy's positioning has been to build Athens into a city that focuses on military and external expansion. Military state!

Emphasizing agriculture and suppressing commerce is an indispensable part of the farming war.

However, due to the limitations of this world, Murphy cannot do this, because Athens still needs these merchants for its supplies, but he can increase his suppression and cultivate a group of merchants of his own.

For Murphy, when Athens upgrades to become a big city, it already means that the time for external expansion has arrived.

It also made it clear that he was about to start a battle with the Noble Council for the dominance of the entire human city-state!

He needs a new system that is more advanced, more enterprising, and can replace the original decadent aristocratic feudal system and serfdom, to formulate a system that belongs to mankind, is more suitable for the future, and is better able to welcome and adapt to war!

Only by winning the war can mankind have a future.
