The situation in Dangli County was similar to the situation in Qu City. Half of the players who had besieged the city had already retreated. Faced with Yang Rui's powerful long-range attacks, they were quickly defeated. Then, the Iron Guards dispersed. Then, the local magistrate, deputy magistrate, and deputy magistrate joined the battle, leading another one hundred and twenty thousand Tier 4 Green State soldiers to clean up the mess.
The entire process took less than an hour, which was much shorter than the time in Qucheng County. Even the time spent in Changyang County was shorter, and the situation was even more overwhelming!
At the same time, the situation in these two cities was also broadcasted to the forum by Yang Rui. He did not avoid the details and did not care about the comments of other players on the forum. Although he had become the center of the vortex of public opinion, Yang Rui did not reiterate or refute anything. + ─ w.
It was not until the siege of Changyang County was resolved that Yang Rui made another post to clarify his current position.
"Sending an ultimatum to the unreasonable players in Green State and the East County!"
In this post, Yang Rui first summarized the content of the live post, including the current situation in Qu City, Dangli, and Changyang County. He also posted the scene of more than a hundred thousand Yellow Turban Soldiers and more than two hundred thousand Green State soldiers scattered across the three counties to hunt down the rebellious players.
Next, he once again stated that his action was to protect the safety of the territory. He emphasized the righteousness of his position and called on the players in Green State and the northern part of the East County to not be used by those with ulterior motives. He also stated that he must carry out the cleanup to the end and would not tolerate it!
Finally, Yang Rui did not forget to invite like-minded players to develop in Green State and the East County. They would develop in the game together and so on.
At this point. Although Yang Rui was mostly just saying things for the sake of pleasantries. However, it was also to gain a certain amount of public support. What he didn't expect was that Yang Rui's announcement attracted a group of unique players …
Yang Rui's post was posted by the platinum account 'Little White Gongzi' as usual. It was automatically highlighted and pinned as soon as it appeared on the forum. Although most players were still reading the 'live post' that Yang Rui posted, this post was still very popular. Many players participated in the discussion.
In fact, there were only a few players who had a direct conflict of interest with Yang Rui, regardless of whether they were inside or outside Green State. Most of them were instigated to cause trouble. When Yang Rui swept the three cities with an iron fist, most of the players who were instigated had left..
The initiators who were bribed by Ichiro Sato also did not force themselves. In terms of absolute strength, they could not be compared with Yang Rui in Green State. Therefore, they were not stupid enough to wait for Yang Rui to deal with them.
In this way, with Yang Rui's iron fist, the momentum caused by the live broadcast, and the subsequent statement, the players who were causing trouble in Green State quickly retreated. Even the players who were causing trouble in the northern counties of the East County had also left.
At this time, it had only been half a day since Yang Rui made a move on the players. Originally, it involved hundreds of thousands of players and swept across two states. The players who seemed to be causing a huge commotion had completely retreated. There were almost no players around the cities in Yang Rui's territory. It was much more deserted than usual!
Initially, when Yang Rui discussed with Cheng Yu and the others, they had estimated that the difficulty would be much higher. They were even prepared to temporarily abandon the East County if necessary. This was also the reason why Yang Rui had not mentioned the East County in the beginning.
At present, Yang Rui had only achieved stable control of the county and the surrounding areas in the northern counties of the East County. He had not invested much in the development of the various areas under his jurisdiction. Most of them were still produced by the NPCs. Even if he abandoned some areas, he could still take them back.
However, players had their own way of doing things, and Yang Rui wasn't too surprised that they retreated so quickly. If it were him, he wouldn't get involved in this kind of thing if he didn't get any substantial benefits.
However, there were a few players who liked to be in the limelight, who liked to join in on the fun, and who liked to be stubborn. They were still waiting for an opportunity to fight Yang Rui. Even if they no longer had the courage to besiege the city, they still harassed and even attacked the NPCs. It was only when Yang Rui sent out the Yellow Scarf Soldiers and the provincial soldiers to clean up the mess that these players were eliminated or went into hiding.
Yang Rui mobilized all the soldiers above Fourth Grade almost immediately. He had as many as six hundred thousand soldiers with him. Among them, there were more than a hundred and fifty thousand Fourth Grade Yellow Scarf Soldiers and nearly three hundred thousand Fourth Grade Green Provincial Soldiers. On average, there were more than 20000 soldiers in the thirty counties that were in dire straits.
The remaining three to four hundred thousand soldiers were mostly stationed in the plains, the northern part of the East County, and Big Mountain City. They were also in a state of combat readiness, ready to be mobilized at any time.
It was fortunate that Yang Rui already had more than a million soldiers above Fourth Grade in his army. Otherwise, this crisis caused by the players would have been extremely troublesome to deal with. Even so, Yang Rui still felt that he was lacking a lot in terms of generals and soldiers when faced with such a large-scale challenge!
Moreover, the NPC Liegeman in Green Province played a crucial role in the subsequent cleanup of the various counties. Whenever a player of the rebel faction appeared, an NPC would immediately report it to Yang Rui's nearby forces. It was a great help to the counties in clearing out the troublemakers.
This was also the result of Yang Rui's effective policies that increased the loyalty and popularity of the Liegeman in Green Province. Yang Rui had not expected the NPCs to play such an important role.
Of course, even though Yang Rui had dealt with this crisis with lightning speed, losses were still unavoidable.
First of all, although only a small number of players who had been identified as rebels managed to escape from the various counties, Yang Rui's forces still caused a certain amount of damage to the NPCs in the various counties.
Just the loss of NPCs alone had resulted in the loss of over 10000 NPC Liegeman in the three days after the Green Province players caused trouble. There were also over 1000 injured Liegeman NPCs. This did not even include other losses such as NPC property losses.
Secondly, on the first day of the cleanup of the Green Province players, Yang Rui ordered all Green Province NPCs not to leave. All of them were to take refuge in the cities and territories of various levels. This meant that the entire Green Province would not have any production for a day.
This loss did not seem to be much. In fact, compared to the huge population base of Green Province, it was a huge number.
Fortunately, Yang Rui had accumulated a lot of resources recently. There were countless resources in the warehouse. Even food, which was the most scarce in other places, was one of the products that were sold in Green Province. It was not difficult for Yang Rui to make up for the NPCs' daily output.
The incident of Green Province and the northern part of the East County's players went from surging in the beginning to calming down. Yang Rui dealt with it decisively and effectively. However, some problems were also exposed in the process.
For example, the number and strength of the county soldiers in the counties were far from enough to stabilize the situation. Yang Rui spared no effort in developing the military strength. At this time, the overall strength should not be weaker than any of the feudal lords. However, the development of the local military strength was somewhat uneven. Many counties had not used up the 20000 free county soldiers.
Previously, Yang Rui had some scruples about how to control the military strength of the counties, so most of his energy was focused on the provincial soldiers and the county soldiers of the Kingdom of Qi, the North Sea, and the plains. It was not suitable for the situation in Green Province at this time.
Therefore, while Yang Rui was cleaning up the situation in the next two days, he ordered Sun Qian to send an order to the county magistrates to urge them to recruit a new batch of able-bodied men as soon as possible. First, they would fill the quota of 20000 free county soldiers in each county. The recruited able-bodied men would all be sent to the Penglai Secret Realm to level up.
Usually, this part of the military strength was jointly provided by the Green Province Provincial Governor and the counties. It was led by Yang Rui's direct subordinates. When there was an accident, they would be deployed to the counties. In this way, the possibility of the county soldiers being out of control was minimized.
The second problem that appeared during this process was that the situation of Qing Province being defenseless had become apparent.
Although Yang Rui gave the order to close the teleportation formation and all the roads before the counterattack, there were almost no passes that could be defended at the border between Green Province and the outer regions. The areas that connected Green Province and the surrounding regions were almost all open. This also caused a portion of the players who participated in the trouble to safely leave Green Province.
Regarding this situation, due to the restrictions of the terrain and region, Yang Rui did not have any good countermeasures for the time being. However, in Yang Rui's mind, the outline of a plan to effectively control Green Province in the future appeared.
That was to use the power of water as the main force. The north controlled the Yellow River and Ji River, and the south controlled the Wenshui and Sishui River. This way, they could effectively defend a large area of land including Green Province and Yan Province. In the future, they could even expand their control to the Ying River and Huai River, surrounding Green Province and Yan Province. At the same time, they could provide protection for their two allies, Ding Yuan and Qiao Mao.
Of course, this was only a vague blueprint. In order to realize this, they had to wait until the number of large ships, Bi 'an, and Warships in his hands reached a certain number. At the same time, the strength of the soldiers on the surface also needed to be enough.
Taking advantage of the time when chasing down the players who caused trouble, Yang Rui also went to Huang County and Guhe Town to check on the progress of the construction of large ships, Bi 'an, and Warships.
