Chapter 399: Frontline Battle Report
The level of firearms production was raised to 9, and the 2,000 legendary-quality muskets produced were sent to the barracks to arm the musketeers.
Jia Zhengjin also rebuilt the accessories of the stun gun himself, creating a stun gun with legendary quality and a 4th-level magic core, which is even more powerful.
In addition, the successful domestication of two Tier 4 monsters, Mitilo and Gale Xiao, made him even more happy!
Of course, there are still many things to do right now, and there is no time to stop and rest.
Therefore, after returning home and having a quick meal, he immediately rushed to the factory to start leveling up tool manufacturing, weapon manufacturing, and armor manufacturing.
However, when he came out of the house, he saw Buddy running towards him quickly: "Master Keane, there are people from the Principality of Hales!"
"Oh?" Jia Zhengjin asked seriously when he heard the news from the Hales Principality, "Where's the person?"
"I'm waiting for your summons outside the city at any time," Buddy said, "There is also a large convoy with me!"
"Take me there!" Jia Zhengjin immediately put down his upgrade skills and went to understand the battle situation first. After all, the victory or defeat of the battle on the front line is related to the execution of one's own plan, and also related to whether Holy Dragon City will soon meet with the imperial coalition forces in the future! "
As Buddy came outside the city, he saw a long line of carriages that could not be seen at a glance. The escort vehicles were all city guards, but the leader was not General Zhuoma, but a young woman whom he didn't know at all.
When Jia Zhengjin came out, the woman glanced at Buddy first, and seeing that he was dominated by Jia Zhengjin, she immediately stepped forward and bowed respectfully: "Excuse me, are you Lord Keen?"
"Who are you?" Jia Zhengjin looked at the strange woman in front of him, looked him up and down and asked with a frown.
"Report to Lord Keene," the woman replied respectfully, "My name is Lewis, and I am the granddaughter of Mark, the former general of the Principality of Hales, and the current Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Principality of Hales!"
"Isn't it one of our own on the front line? Why is there a foreign minister from the Principality of Hales?" Jia Zhengjin turned to look at Buddy and asked strangely.
"Master Keen, please listen to me first!" Lewis said hastily.
"Okay, tell me!" Jia Zhengjin nodded, ready to hear what she would say.
Lewis lowered his head and said to him respectfully: "I didn't make it clear! I am the former foreign minister of the Principality of Hales! Now Bolivia, the capital of the Principality of Hales, has been captured.
My grandpa led a group of old generals to surrender to your General Zhuoma in Sacred Dragon City. General Zhuoma ordered me to lead the troops to escort the Grand Duke of Troy to the Holy Dragon City, and at the same time, there are a large amount of gold and silver treasures in the capital vault, all in the carriage behind! "
"The Principality of Wales has already been conquered?" Jia Zhengjin was a little surprised. He thought it would take at least a while!
"Yes," Lewis sighed slightly, "the city could at least hold on a little bit, but the Grand Duke of Troy listened to the slander and actually let the new young general Resako take full control of all Bolivia's military affairs. After Resako took office, he immediately forcibly recruited me Grandpa, and all the veterans in the country, let them lead the army to participate in the battle! When the country is alive and dead, such things are understandable. My grandfather and his comrades led the army to help the battle without hesitation, but they were plotted by Resako! He is simply Let my grandfather and his comrades die, let them enter the minefields with flesh and blood to open the way for the army behind!"
Speaking of this, Lewis couldn't help but burst into tears: "My grandfather was lucky, only one hand was injured in the blast. But several of his comrades in arms, as well as countless soldiers loyal to the country, were killed alive. I can't go home again! After a battle, we suffered heavy losses, but Resako's troops were not damaged at all. When camping, he even asked Grandpa and them to continue to advance in the next battle. It was simply to eliminate dissidents through fighting Grandpa and the others are loyal to the country, but in the face of such a situation, they don’t want to sit still and even implicate their family members! If grandpa and the others are wiped out, Resako will definitely not spare us relatives! As a last resort, grandpa and the others will only I was able to take the risk and captured Resako alive during the night attack on the camp, and opened the city gate to let General Zhuoma and his troops lead in, completely breaking through Bolivia. General Zhuoma executed those generals who did not want to surrender, and then, on my grandfather’s suggestion, sent I will lead the troops to escort the Grand Duke of Troy and the treasures in the city back to Sacred Dragon City, and I will ask you about the future policy of the Principality of Hales and how to deal with our surrendered generals!"
Looking at Lewis' nervous expression, Jia Zhengjin immediately said: "Since you have surrendered, you are my people! As long as you are loyal to me, I will never treat you badly! Buddy, you first take the Grand Duke of Troy to prison and lock him up alone. Then transport all the gold and silver treasures on these carriages to the warehouse in the city!"
"Yes!" Buddy took the order, and immediately went over to give the order to all the city guards.
"Wait!" Jia Zhengjin ran over and opened a carriage to take a closer look. Sure enough, there were gold coins and all kinds of jewelry inside, which made him feel quite good. I just planned to use up all the 5 million gold coins, and I am still a little depressed! As a result, so many gold and silver treasures were directly sent to me here, which is simply amazing! He turned around and asked Lewis curiously, "Have you counted the total number of gold coins?"
"Report to Mr. Keane," Lewis replied respectfully, "There are a total of 2.35 million gold coins, 3.75 million silver coins, and 16.89 million copper coins! Including the value of various gold and silver treasures, there are about 8 million gold coins in total. !"
"That's not a lot!" Jia Zhengjin frowned slightly, "I got 5 million gold coins from Sea Dragon City! Is this worth 8 million the property of the treasury of the Principality of Hales and all noble officials?"
"This is the property of the treasury of the Principality of Hales!" Lewis' face changed slightly, "Master Keane, are you going to confiscate the property of all officials and nobles? This is probably inappropriate, especially now that everyone sincerely surrenders to you, and Zhuo General Ma also agreed to treat all officials and nobles who surrendered generously, if it hurts the hearts of the people..."
When Jia Zhengjin heard this, he realized that he had misunderstood it! These gold coins are simply money from the treasury of the Principality of Hales, and have nothing to do with officials and nobles. If the assets of all officials and nobles are really confiscated, of course a large sum of money can be collected! Originally he thought so, but since Dolma had promised to treat those who surrendered favorably, he couldn't go back on his word: "Is there only so much money in a principality?"
"Master Keane!" Lewis said helplessly, "This is already a lot. The money in the treasury has to be spent all the time to build the country and other places to develop people's livelihood. These are all funds saved for emergencies , if you go to the treasury of any country, it may be difficult to find more gold coins than this. Unless you want to be a tyrant and forcibly collect gold coins from all citizens!"
"So that's it," Jia Zhengjin shrugged his shoulders and said, "Forget it! You have worked hard all the way, come with me to the floating city and sit down and talk about the situation in the Principality of Hales."
"yes!"
