Chapter 294

In the kingdom of Langya, in the imperial palace, Yan Zhen, the governor of Sishui Port, and Ma Jianliang, the commander of the Sishui Port Navy, stood side by side in the center of the court hall, standing in the middle of the punishment.

The surrounding gazes at the two were full of suspicion and ridicule. You guys are really good, a navy and more than 30 boats were taken away by one boat, and more than 20 Nascent Soul Stages were lost!

How much influence does the Nascent Soul stage mean?

Only ten Qi Refining Stages can produce one Foundation Establishment Stage; two hundred Foundation Establishment Stages can produce one Golden Elixir Stage; one hundred Golden Elixirs can have one Nascent Soul. A Nascent Soul Stage is at least equivalent to 200,000 Qi Refining Stages!

Moreover, the Nascent Soul has a long lifespan, and its value is far beyond that of 200,000 ordinary people.

Now that they have lost more than 20 in one go, even the Kingdom of Langya feels a little heartbroken; they have been at war with the Kingdom of Canglan for so long, and the loss is no more than this amount.

The great emperor of Langya Kingdom looked at the two, his face pale with anger, but finally he didn't say anything. Speaking of which, he asked for an attack this time by himself. Faced with an unknown enemy's blind attack, it is a kind of irresponsibility in itself.

The emperor gasped for a while before temporarily suppressing his anger, "Yan Zhen, Ma Jianliang, withhold half a year's salary as a warning. I give you two a task, no matter what method you use, to obtain information about the Qixia Kingdom!"

"Yes!" The two quickly responded.

"Huh!" The emperor snorted coldly, but then turned to Taoist Mingquan, as the disciple of Taoist Dingshan and the master of Ma Jianliang, Taoist Mingquan is also the link between Langya Kingdom and Xiaoyao Sect.

Looking at Daoist Mingquan, the emperor said in a bad tone: "Master Mingquan, this is the barbaric country you call barbaric and has no fighting power? Yes, it is really barbaric. It has killed three stages of transformation. We singled out one of our sailors again. Singled out, one by one to pick a group!"

Daoist Mingquan's expression was a bit nonchalant, he hesitated before replying: "Your Majesty, this time it was our information error, and we will definitely compensate your country for the loss. Please allow me to resign and report the situation to the Xiaoyao faction."

"Okay!" The emperor nodded, his expression still not good-looking. This time, not only did he lose his strength, but he also lost his personality! Shame on the international community - but many, many merchant ships from afar saw it with their own eyes!

When Daoist Mingquan left, the emperor shifted his gaze, "Governor of Sea Affairs!"

"The minister is here!" Maritime Governor Lin Qian took a step forward.

"Rebuild the First Navy. Yan Zhen and Ma Jianliang, you watch and deal with it!"

"Yes!"

Yan Zhen and Ma Jianliang looked at each other, and breathed a sigh of relief, it seemed that they would not go to the end. The Maritime Governor belongs to his own people and is his immediate superior, at most he can be reprimanded. There are many reasons for this failure. Yan Zhen and Ma Jianliang are certainly responsible, but the Xiaoyao faction and the Great Emperor are also responsible.

And thanks to this time, Zhang Hao didn't bombard ordinary people, store goods, etc., but only attacked the Governor's Mansion in Surabaya Port and the army, so the impact was limited.

…………

The battleship Zhiyuan roared slightly, smashing through the waves all the way and heading west.

Standing on the bow of the ship, Zhang Hao raised his head slightly, but there was indescribable pride in his heart. The two days of transactions are of great significance. Because of this transaction, the daunting green sea of ​​death was broken through, and the Qixia Kingdom's independent foreign trade was realized.

This is the first time in the history of human beings to trade across the open sea, and the journey across the open sea is 8,000 kilometers.

It was a triumph of daring exploration.

The greater significance lies in the fact that Qixia Country, once a remote, lonely country on the edge of civilization, watched over the green sea of ​​death, from this moment on, it is connected with the world-famous trade network.

From this moment on, Qixia Country will become the most western and brightest pearl in the pan-civilized world trade network.

The only country that trades across the sea!

Not only that, with the help of this success, Zhang Hao's eyes also turned to the vast open sea. Compared with the inner sea, the outer sea is wider. And Zhang Hao's gaze turned to a more distant world - is there another continent in this world?

Zhang Hao believes that this world must be more than just this piece of land. The world outside the earth phenomenon will definitely be more exciting.

Next to Zhang Hao, there were Leng Qingsong, Hua An, Leng Feng, etc. Everyone lined up along the railing, each with their heads outstretched looking at the sea in front of them.

Looking at the sea surface, Zhang Hao felt a little emotional. The voyage was full of twists and turns; but it was a perfect return, and he brought a whole boat of distinguished guests with him.

But Leng Qingsong, Hua An, Leng Feng and others were purely watching the excitement.

At this time, the battleship had already crossed the Black Scale Island and completely entered the Green Sea of ​​Death. At this time, it is obvious that there are sea monsters running across the sea, and occasionally various sea monsters poke their heads out of the sea, looking at the battleship curiously, but at this time these sea monsters are very honest, Not attacking.

The battle a few days ago obviously left a deep impression on the sea monster.

After watching for a while, Zhang Hao was sure that there was no danger, so he looked at the people around him. These people can be roughly divided into three parts. For example, Leng Qingsong, and its 'Seven Stars Trading Firm', etc., their commodities are mainly pills and medicinal materials.

There is also a Leng Feng who has the same surname Leng but has nothing to do with it. This guy is a ranger, the kind who can't sit still, looks for opportunities, and runs around. The cold wind followed Hua An.

Hua An is also the young master of a firm with a distinctive name "Contradictory Firm". This firm is mainly engaged in magic weapons, talisman seals, formation bases and so on.

But it was obvious that Hua An was stunned when he saw the Zhiyuan battleship. The indestructible spears, indestructible shields, all-encompassing formations, etc., completely lost their luster in front of the battleship Zhiyuan.

In fact, the Contradiction Firm mainly deals in magic weapons, but also has some elixirs and some medicinal materials.

Qixia Country needs pills, but also needs some medicinal materials, and there are also transactions with Contradictory Firms, and the transaction volume is quite large.

At the end of the transaction, some interesting things happened, because Zhang Hao only needed medicinal materials, elixirs, etc., and did not need magic weapons, etc. Therefore, these commercial firms from the East also carried out some transactions.

It seems that there is not only a competitive relationship between the commercial firms from the East, they will also form a group.

Zhang Hao looked at the crowd thoughtfully, his eyes swept over one by one, recalling the past few days bit by bit. This time, more than 30 business houses and more than 100 representatives followed the battleship to Qixia Country.

Then a strange scene appeared: Zhang Hao was looking at the crowd, but the crowd was looking at the sea.

You are looking at the scenery, but others are looking at you.

After a while, Leng Feng suddenly turned his head to meet Zhang Hao's eyes, "Master Zhang, there are quite a lot of things in the sea, can you get some to try?"

Zhang Hao: ...Brother Feng, you have a partner, come quickly!

Looking at the cold wind for a long time, Zhang Hao had no choice but to explain: "We have an unwritten agreement with the monsters in the green sea of ​​death. We borrow the road instead of fishing and hunting. Therefore, Mr. Feng's small request may not be fulfilled." .”

"Oh..." Leng Feng replied regretfully, looking at the 'food' all over the sea, the corners of his mouth drooled a little. It's an honor to come to the Green Sea of ​​Death and the Outer Sea, but you can only watch but not eat...

The battleship Zhiyuan advanced all the way, and the color of the green sea of ​​death gradually became darker. Compared with the inner sea, the outer sea is deeper.

Since then, there have been constant surprises along the way, and some sea monsters have jumped out to provoke from time to time, but most of them just add a little trouble to the battleship. For example, making an iceberg, turning a wave, etc., but Zhang Hao saw it as more like a greeting, with a little bit of dissatisfaction.

Think about it too, the noise of the giant ship is not small.

But for these small provocations, the Iron Battleship responded - crashed over!

Regardless of icebergs or waves, nothing can stop the impact of this heavy ship. With such a domineering way of advancing, all the honored guests from the east who watched it exclaimed again and again.

At first they were still yelling; but after a day, they were able to shout with the accent of the Qixia Kingdom: bump over, bump over!

Feng Zhiling was the most excited, this guy is a typical crazy person, he has already got along with everyone, and he is shouting with a few guys: "Bump over, over there!"

Ahead, an ice wall appeared. The ice wall was thick and opaque, reaching a height of more than ten meters, completely blocking the direction of Zhiyuan. There was also an octopus monster on top of the ice wall, a huge monster of fifty or sixty meters.

However, this octopus monster only has three tentacles; the breaks of the other five tentacles are no longer hideous, and small tentacles have begun to grow, but it is very weird.

Seeing "old friend", Feng Zhiling shouted excitedly, "The octopus slices you eat belong to him! Cannon, cannon, shoot this guy down! Grill octopus tonight!"

But this time, the octopus got better at learning. It raised an ice wall, provoked it, and then jumped back into the sea; behind the ice wall, a proud figure with its teeth and claws could be vaguely seen.

Dugu Junjie was very calm: "The artillery is ready to blow up the ice wall."

The gunners are very experienced, and the artillery is not aimed directly at the ice wall, but into the water. Shells explode underwater and are more lethal at close range. A wave of 100mm artillery shells went down, and the sea water was blown up to a height of 20 to 30 meters, and the surface of the ice wall was also full of cracks.

It's just that there are octopus monsters behind the ice wall, and the ice wall will be repaired soon.

But the next instant, three 300mm shells arrived. The ice wall shattered suddenly, and an octopus monster with its teeth and claws froze in the crushed ice.

The giant ship rammed straight into the octopus monster, and all the artillery was ready, ready to fire a salvo.

The octopus monster grunted and fled to the sea, but the cannonball caught up with an explosion in the sea water. The poor octopus dropped a tentacle more than 50 meters long, spilling countless blood.

Feng Zhiling laughed loudly, his favorite fishing rod suddenly appeared in his hand, he fished up the tentacles, and the sailors skillfully sealed and preserved them.

There are spells and seals, what kind of refrigerator do you want!

This time the battle was straightforward and neat. On the one hand, everyone felt the danger of the open sea, and on the other hand, they became more and more greedy for the giant steel ship. As businessmen, they certainly saw the opportunities and even the challenges brought by the giant steel ships.

Liu Xinyu can see the future of the giant steel ship through the simple nautical chart, and these businessmen certainly know it better. Many people gently touched the railing, their eyes full of envy, longing, and a touch of greed.

Thinking of the price of steel, they felt that such a steel battleship should exhaust the national strength of Qixia Kingdom!

Since then, the journey has been uneventful, and the small provocations have disappeared. After arriving at the open sea corresponding to the Qixia Kingdom, a dragon with a length of hundreds of meters and silver horns on its head jumped out and asked Liu Dingshan for tolls.

Everyone looked very curious.

Liu Dingshan was laughed out of anger, and went to King Yinjiao alone to argue. But after a while, Liu Dingshan still threw an Evil Crossing Golden Pill to King Yinjiao. This kind of Transcendence Golden Elixir can be used even in the stage of transforming into a god, so it can be called precious. In this transaction, only 9 pieces were obtained in total.

In exchange for one Golden Elixir, it is the safety of the sea outside the Qixia Land. In the future, as long as sailing, shipbuilding, sea trials, etc., there will be no problem. A hundred years of peace in exchange for a golden elixir.

Yes, tolls will no longer be charged within a hundred years. After Zhang Hao heard the result, he felt that the Silver Horn King would definitely regret becoming the Golden Horn King in the future.

After sailing for another half a day, the sailors finally cheered that they saw land, and it was familiar land. Some sailors even shouted: My home is there.

After returning, the sailors began to cheer before landing; the battleship Zhiyuan also began to slow down. After waiting for more than an hour, a tall tower surrounded by colorful lights was seen on the sea.

"It's a lighthouse! Huang Mingshan and others actually built it in the past few days!" Zhang Hao's eyes flashed with surprise.

During the docking process, it is not easy to control the direction, and it needs to be adjusted in advance. The role of the lighthouse cannot be ignored. It's just that when we set off, the lighthouse hadn't been built yet, and I don't want it to have been built now.

"It's almost time to go out to sea for nine days." Dugu Junjie came to the bow of the ship and stood beside Zhang Hao with a smile and emotion on his face.

It's really emotional, who would have thought that there would be such a day, commanding the first steel warship in history, crossing the green sea of ​​death for the first time, opening up the life route of the Qixia Kingdom, and connecting the Qixia Kingdom with the civilized world.

This is, history has been created!

In the midst of emotion, Dugu Junjie made people fire cannons into the sky.

…………

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, the steel battleship Zhiyuan is back!" Hu Yinglan yelled and ran to a luxurious tent, which was set up not far from the sea. In front of the camp, a phoenix flag fluttered in the wind.

Liu Xinyu has been waiting by the beach until now.

Hearing Hu Yinglan's shout, Liu Xinyu froze for a moment, then dropped the document in his hand and walked out quickly. Follow Hu Yinglan's fingers and you can see a faint light flickering in the distant sky. The distance is a bit far, and the sound may or may not be heard. But the light came.

Everyone is too familiar with this kind of light that exploded in mid-air.

Hu Yinglan's shout also alarmed countless people. Zhang Shengde, Zhang Shengye, and even Zhang Hao's mother Li Yunxiang rushed over with Zhou Xueyao.

In no time, the beach was full of people. Everyone watched the flashing light in the distance, and gradually there was a faint roar.

"It's a cannon!" Liu Xinyu excitedly grasped the long sword at his waist - after ascending the throne, the long spear is not suitable, Liu Xinyu usually wears a long sword around his waist.

Liu Xinyu's hand grasping the hilt of the sword was a little hard, the knuckles were pale, and there were blue veins on the back of the white hand. The moment to decide the fate of Qixia Kingdom has arrived!

After another moment, someone screamed: "I saw it, I saw it!"

The corners of Liu Xinyu's eyes were a little moist. In the vast waves in the distance, there is a small black spot coming this way, just like it left.

The black spot gradually expanded, and a steel battleship gradually appeared. Through the spell of enhancing sight, Liu Xinyu could even see many well-dressed people standing on the deck.

The waves pushed by the giant ship washed over the coast wave by wave, and the sound became louder and louder; and the figure of the giant ship became clearer and clearer. All the cannon barrels have been put down, but there are countless people cheering on the deck.

After all, Liu Xinyu was extraordinary, she immediately turned her head to Yan Qing and Zheng You, Ministers of Foreign Affairs next to her, to prepare to welcome the distinguished guests.

Yan Qing and Zheng You were the best at welcoming foreign guests, and they were ready in a short while.

At this time, the giant ship has completely relied on inertia and is approaching the port. Feng Zhiling and a few others couldn't wait, and flew directly to the shore. Especially Feng Zhiling, this guy cheers up when he sees someone, I, Feng Zhiling, are back.

But Zhang Hao and most of the people were very calm. Until the ship docked, Zhang Hao held an account book in both hands, stepped off the battleship step by step, and walked in front of Liu Xinyu who was standing in the port full of expectations.

"Your Majesty, fortunately you fulfilled your mission. This is the list of this transaction. There are as many as 635 tons of pills in total."
