Chapter 1329 Colonial Development
In the conference hall of Shang Guo Prime Minister's Office, Li Xian is holding a discussion meeting with everyone. As speculated by the Cultivation Alliance, the southwestern army of the Shang Kingdom was attacked, which caused certain negative effects.
In fact, the biggest influence of this is not the Shang Kingdom, but the confidence of the Cultivation Alliance—oh, it turns out that the Shang Kingdom is not invincible! So, we can attack with confidence. Of course, the interior of the Shang Kingdom will inevitably be affected. After all, this is the first time that a top commander in the Shang Kingdom has died in battle.
It is precisely because of this that the Yaozu, Haizu, etc. are all ready to move now. There are even people from the Cultivation Alliance who have infiltrated into the Phantom Spirit Realm and are planning to counterattack Shang Guo from the Phantom Spirit Realm.
What's more, the Cultivation Alliance has pinpointed the "joint" of the Shang Kingdom - the teleportation array; the most important part of the current transportation of the Shang Kingdom, that is, where the "joint" is, is the teleportation array! Now, the Cultivation Alliance is preparing to destroy all the teleportation arrays of the Shang Kingdom at any cost!
The Cultivation Alliance believes that:
As long as the teleportation array is destroyed, the connection between Shang Kingdom and Sanctuary, Fertility Divine State, and Ziyang Shenting Junxian will be severed. As long as the teleportation array is destroyed, the country of Shang will lose the connection with Dongsheng Shenzhou, and the country of Shang will fall into a state of fighting alone.
Even if the teleportation array is destroyed, the connection between the Shang Kingdom and the central part of Haozhou and the Five Elements Spirit World will be cut off, and the complete and powerful military power of the Shang Kingdom will be torn apart!
The country of Shang seems to be very powerful, but the country of Shang relies too much on technology "outside of practice".
Moreover, the Cultivation Alliance is not a soft persimmon after all. If Shang Guo wants to conquer the Cultivation Alliance, he needs a good mouth!
Not only the Cultivation Alliance, but also the upper echelons of the Shang Kingdom felt that the strength of the Shang Kingdom was somewhat weak. At the meeting, Xu Ren sighed and said in a mild way: "Actually, we need allies. Now, we are equivalent to fighting the pressure of Yingzhou, Haozhou, and Yaosheng Island with the power of one country. Although we still have a chance of winning, But there will inevitably be heavy losses, which is not conducive to our future development."
Everyone was silent for a while. Allies are so easy to find.
The current countries of the Allies include: Shang Kingdom, Tang Kingdom, Dragon Tooth Empire, Ziyang Shenting and Glory Republic on Fertile China, and Tailing Shenting War Group on Dongsheng Shenzhou.
Among them, Dongsheng Shenzhou's war group, although there are many countries, is too far away; even if it is connected by a teleportation array, it is still too far away. Moreover, the hostile group, the Zihuan Shenting war group, is also very powerful, and even has a slight advantage—mainly due to Zihuan Shenting's emphasis on technology, it is said that it was caused by the Shang Dynasty.
In fact, many people are discussing that the virtuous king should have formed an alliance with the Zihuan Shenting war group instead of the Tailing Shenting war group.
At this moment, the atmosphere in the meeting room was a bit oppressive. Now that the war has progressed, the Shang Kingdom has begun to feel the pressure of the war.
Only Li Xian looked around: "Everyone, are you timid?"
Everyone behaves differently. Some people are full of fighting spirit, but some people's eyes are no longer firm.
Li Xian looked around and knew what he knew. "Everyone, war is difficult, I know. But it's not only difficult for us, the enemy is even more difficult. Nowadays, the Cultivation Alliance is jumping up and down, but it is actually a show of helplessness. Why can't you even see this clearly!
Let's see, the Cultivation Alliance has actually united with the Monster Race, which is obviously against the interests of the Human Race. Ladies and gentlemen, with this alone, we can attract many, many countries to become allies.
Also, everyone, don't forget that we will not use skyfire bombs on the human race casually, because we shouted the slogan of 'liberation'. But we didn't say not to use it on Yaozu!
Yuan Yong, you go and send a message to Zhu Tianyu, saying that Shang Kingdom can knock down Lingnan bit by bit, and can also completely erase Yaosheng Island. Let them not meddle in the war of the human race, or they will bear the consequences. "
Yuan Yong smiled slightly, and the Xian Wang finally became strong. Previously, there were skyfire bombs but they could not be used casually, which made these masters of comprehension not quite understand-is democracy really that important? Fortunately, there is no need to talk about democracy with the Yaozu. As long as the Yaozu dares to intervene in the war of the human race, it will be wiped out without discussion!
But at this time, Yan Ze'an said: "What about the Sea Clan? We can wipe out the Monster Clan directly, but we can't do anything about the Sea Clan hidden in the sea."
"The sea can be handed over to Yingzhou Donghai Dragon Palace." Li Xian's eyes were full of confidence, "Different from land, Yingzhou Donghai Dragon Palace has established a complete industrial foundation with our help; but other dragon and sea tribes are still There is no industry. The sea provides them with cover, but it also hinders the sea people's pursuit of technology.
Also, although the sea is good, if you want to soar, you have to jump out. Our attitude and strategy towards the sea people is not to destroy them, but to block the sea and block them. And the best way to block the sea is to develop the technology of Tianwaitian.
Ladies and gentlemen, I am holding this meeting today. I just want to tell you that development has a future, and technology is still the foundation of business. Next, Shangguo will continue to lean towards the development of Tianwaitian. "
Xu Ren heard the voice: "Could it be that King Xian is planning to transfer military expenses?"
Li Xian shook his head slightly, and a cold light flashed in his eyes: "Hasn't the colonial trade already started! Ladies and gentlemen, don't underestimate the colonial trade. Capitalism has two major economic hotspots, one is industry and the other is plunder. The colonial trade is about the characteristics of 'predation', which has been interpreted to the extreme!
The glory of industry, we are building; let us wait and see the glory of colonial trade.
Colonial trade will inject new impetus into the merchant country. "
…………
The folks of the Shang country are extremely lively at this time. The announcement of a "Colonial Trade Law" has made the entire Shang country boil; and the construction of the Ministry of Colonial Trade Department, Minister Ji Fangzhu was personally promoted by the virtuous king to be a first-rank official. , This has allowed countless businessmen, big and small, to see opportunities and the determination of the country.
But the loudest response to the colonial trade was Nanyang County. Nanyang County, the mercenary base of the Shang Kingdom, almost belongs to the nature of a special zone. The state adopts a complete free-range management for this place, but the strange thing is that there has never been any trouble here.
It is already impossible to describe the chaos here in Nanyang County with mixed fish and dragons, especially since Nanyang County is still the core location of the Shang Kingdom. Many people will think that the existence of Nanyang County has an impact on national security. Nanyang County is only a thousand kilometers away from Anyang City, the capital of the Shang Kingdom, and even less than a thousand kilometers away from Dingshan Prefecture where the imperial palace is located. In the Thirty-Six Cities Plan of the Shang Kingdom, there is a mercenary city built in Nanyang County.
But it is such a place where fish and dragons are mixed, and there are very few spies who can get in. The power of the people is powerful, and the eyes of the people are discerning. The most important thing is that the country of Shang has launched a lucrative mercenary mission - catching spies is equivalent to finding a gold mine.
A spy entering Nanyang County is like a little white rabbit entering a wolf's den.
In fact, Nanyang County, which looks chaotic, is more stable than expected, perhaps even more stable than Anyang in Shang Kingdom. Nothing but benefits.
Shangguo has attracted a lot of super masters, where are these super masters who don't like to be restrained? I live in Nanyang County! For many masters, Nanyang County is a special zone and even a "promised land". Here is the home and residence of the masters, and there are many masters with common interests here. In return, these masters consciously maintained the stability of Nanyang County and guarded the security of the core area of the Shang Kingdom.
If you want to make trouble in Nanyang County, the first thing you need to face is not the sanctions of the merchant country, nor the sanctions of mercenaries, but the wrath of these super masters. Even if the Nine Tribulations Sanxian came to Nanyang County, he had to restrain himself. Maybe the person who set up a street stall on the roadside was a super expert, but he was just learning about life.
But today, Nanyang County is boiling because of the "Colonial Trade Act". If colonial trade is an irresistible temptation for merchants, then for the mercenary group, it is simply tailor-made!
The guys in the mercenary group are best at plundering rather than management.
Now, the head of the iron-blooded mercenary group, Wu Zhenren, sat at the head, scanning the countless mercenary representatives around. Here in Nanyang County, the Shang Kingdom does not have formal management officials, but is completely handed over to the mercenaries. Whoever becomes the "first mercenary regiment" will have the qualification to be the head of the regiment.
In recent years, the competition among the mercenary regiments of the Shang Kingdom has also been fierce. In the beginning, the first mercenary regiment of the Shang Kingdom was the Xuantian Mercenary Regiment, and the second mercenary regiment was the Fengwu Jiutian Mercenary Regiment, but because the Xuantian Mercenary Regiment and the Fengwu Jiutian Mercenary Regiment ran away, they went to Hunan (Of course they have been arrested now), the Tiangang Mercenary Group came from behind and became the number one mercenary group.
However, the head of the Tiangang mercenary regiment is Zhang Hang, and Zhang Hang is from the Tiangang Sect, and the Tiangang Sect is one of the initiators of the Yuanshan Alliance; The regiment gradually lost its market and even lost its foothold in the Shang Dynasty, and naturally declined.
Later, several mercenary groups competed with each other, and finally the iron-blooded mercenary group won by a narrow margin.
At this time, Master Wu, the head of the iron-blooded mercenary group, looked around and finally said: 'Everyone, have you read the Colonial Trade Law? '
Everyone looked at each other, some nodded, some hummed, and some even remained silent at all. There are still many people who are not convinced by the iron-blooded mercenary group that "wins by a narrow margin".
Master Wu was not annoyed at this time, his practice was based on his cultivation and his fists, and getting angry would not help solve the problem. Wu Zhenren paused for a while and said: "It seems that everyone has read it. Then I will talk about my feelings. This law is a law of plunder! This law is not so much a law as a 'plunder Guidebook'! And this colonial trade law is completely suitable for the development of our mercenaries.
There is no need to focus on long-term development, people's livelihood, or even occupation. We can be a robber, grab and run!
The purpose of today's meeting is to divide the interests of all of us.
The direction I am aiming at is Yunzhou, which is the continent to the east of Haozhou.
Yingzhou will basically be swallowed by the country, and Haozhou basically belongs to the power of the country and the Dragon Tooth Empire. It is difficult for us to compete.
In contrast, Yunzhou does not have so many problems. In my opinion, Yunzhou is enough to support our plunder for more than ten years.
Let's go to Yunzhou, the sea area is completely under the control of Yingzhou Donghai Dragon King's Mansion, so ocean transportation is not a problem. Moreover, the country has built many teleportation arrays in Yunzhou, so the transportation is very convenient.
Secondly, there are many but small forces in Yunzhou, the situation is complicated, and the competition between various countries and sects is fierce. It's a good place for us to start! There will be a treasure land for us to get whatever we want!
And the purpose of my convening everyone today is to divide Yunzhou, and everyone divides their respective interest areas and unanimously discloses them. "
Only then did everyone get excited. The head of the Youlong Mercenary Corps, Master Youlong, and Jin Wanli said: "I have been to Yunzhou, but in comparison, I think 'Yongzhou' located in the south of Fertile China can also be considered as a key point.
Yongzhou is close to Dongsheng Shenzhou, and three teleportation array channels have been opened here, so the transportation is very convenient. It is very convenient to send Yongzhou's resources to Dongsheng Shenzhou for sale, or to bring them back for sale.
In addition, the conservative thinking in Yongzhou is serious, and the school hierarchy is strict and rigid. Yongzhou has a long history of development, even longer than Fertile China, which has led to almost incompatibility between various forces, internal corruption and rigidity beyond imagination, and lack of flexibility. This is very beneficial for us to divide and draw together and eliminate them separately.
Moreover, Yongzhou is rich in resources, and even has many large-scale open-pit oil production areas, as well as some peculiar landforms and strange resource areas, which are very valuable for development. "
The crowd was completely lively, and everyone expressed their views one after another.
Yunzhou is characterized by chaos, just like Yingzhou at the beginning, large and small forces are unwilling to admit defeat, but no one can do anything to each other, and everyone is not particularly strong. Therefore, Yunzhou is very easy to conquer and colonize.
Nowadays, the Shang Kingdom is full of masters above the Mahayana period, but Yunzhou has not kept up with the development of the Shang Kingdom. They have not made much progress. The fight is more intense and the losses are greater.
Therefore, in the eyes of many people, Yunzhou is indeed a piece of fat!
However, there are also people who are optimistic about Yongzhou. Yongzhou has been developing for a long time, which has caused it to be relatively closed, with serious internal rigidity and corruption. Moreover, Yongzhou is rich in resources, and there are teleportation arrays leading to Shang Kingdom and Dongsheng Shenzhou, so the transportation is convenient. Moreover, Yongzhou is located in the necessary place from Shang Kingdom to Dongsheng Shenzhou. It is one of the most important nodes in the transportation hub of the teleportation array, and has great development potential.
In the end, everyone concluded that: Yongzhou is also a piece of fat, but more rich in oil and water.
Everyone argued over whether to go to Yunzhou for "development" or to go to Yongzhou for "development". Only when all the mercenaries of the Shang country are united can they be qualified to conquer a continent, and there will be risks in dispersing them. So everyone quarreled, and in the end it actually reached Li Xian's ears.
Li Xian was speechless after hearing this: "Shang Country has two major interest groups, merchants and mercenaries. Since both places are good, you can't cooperate! They are all from your own family. Is it really necessary to separate them so clearly? "
Yes, why did you forget about the other party! The merchant representatives and mercenary representatives finally sat down, spread out the map in front of everyone, and then picked up a knife and fork... Ahem, picked up a pen, and began to divide their respective spheres of influence. The group who wanted to go to Yunzhou, the group who wanted to go to Yongzhou, and even the group who wanted to go to Feitu Shenzhou were also divided separately, and everyone happily divided the map.
Then everyone shook hands, signed, promised their respective interests and spheres of influence, and promised to support each other in difficulties.
While the Cultivation Alliance was still trying its best to deal with the Shang Kingdom, the Shang Kingdom had already begun to colonize and expand.
A few days later, in the middle of the night in Anyang Port, a 5-million-ton giant ship of Pengcheng Wanli Group set off, carrying a large number of mercenaries, war machines, masters, group guards, and a large number of commodities. Of course, the characteristics of the Shang Dynasty are indispensable-profiteers!
Next to the giant ship, there are a large number of ships and even warships. But this warship is not the army, but a private purchase, or even a mercenary purchase! For this colonial development, the Shang Kingdom further released arms sales to the civilian population. Even aerospace aircraft carriers are sold, but no one can afford them yet.
Tonight, the coast of the Shang Kingdom is exceptionally bright. The ports, large and small, are brightly lit. Trains whizzed by, sending all kinds of people to the port. Also, the major teleportation array bases are also brightly lit.
The flames of war are raging outside, but the interior of Shang country is brightly lit. In fact, since the war until now, the country of Shang seems to have lost many places, but the country of Shang is still in order. This is enough to illustrate one point - Shang country is still more than enough to deal with the current war situation.
It should be said that the main energy of the Shang Kingdom is not on war, but on development. War is just a shining point that cannot be ignored in the development path and strategy of the Shang country.
But now, the country of Shang has a second shining point—colonial trade, which has officially begun!
…………
On a tall skyscraper behind the port, a figure stood quietly. This person, or this demon, is the Nine Tribulations Sanxian Zhu Tianyu.
Zhu Tianyu, the blood of Zhulong, one of the demon saints and kings of the demon tribe Baiyujing Shenzhou, his appearance also represents the will of Baiyujing Shenzhou. And Baiyujing Shenzhou is the base camp of the Yaozu, so it can be said that Zhu Tianyu's meaning can also be said to mean the Yaozu.
But at this moment, Zhu Tianyu hesitated.
When the Cultivation Alliance contacted Yaosheng Island to attack Shang Kingdom together, Zhu Tianyu acquiesced. But yesterday, Yuan Yong, Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Shang Kingdom, found Zhu Tianyu, and the two "talked at night by candlelight", but Zhu Tianyu was shaken again.
The country of Shang will not massacre the human race on a large scale, so the country of Shang will not use skyfire bombs on its compatriots; but don't expect the country of Shang to have scruples about the monster race. Not to mention sky fire bombs, sky punishment bombs can be thrown everywhere.
Also, now Feisheng can be said to be completely in the hands of Shang Guo. You Yaozu, you have to think carefully!
"Hey..." Looking at the port, Zhu Tianyu suddenly sighed deeply. "Cultivation Alliance, what you have seen is too little!"
It's a bit late, but it's just a five thousand word chapter. I want to write a turning point in this chapter, and I have revised it several times, but I am still not satisfied.
