Chapter 178 The meaning of the sea(1/2)
"In addition, Lao Nu thinks that this is actually a good thing.
Without the harem drag, the king can manage the government more with greater peace of mind.
Besides, the king is still young now, so it is a bit too early to do this..."
Dongfang Shuxue frowned and finally sighed after a long silence.
"Well, since my son is so determined, it's not easy for me, as a mother, to force me.
Let’s talk about it in a few years.
Let the wind go, and there will be no sounds related to talent shows in the Taishang Mansion in the future!
Whether it is a servant in the mansion or a person who comes to pay homage!"
"Yes! I'll make arrangements now!"
Shangguan Feng An breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly retreated.
...
It was December 30th in a blink of an eye.
Although scattered snowflakes had already floated in the sky, reflecting the southwest of the wasteland in a snow-white area;
But the territory of the Great Cang Dynasty was full of prosperity, and red lanterns hung at the doors of every household.
Farewell to the old and welcome the new, tomorrow will be the new year.
All households' courtyards were cleaned spotlessly and brand new clothes were ready.
Especially the most extensive family of the common people, almost everyone is smiling happily and full of longing for the future.
Since the Great Cangxin Dynasty, many people have become much stronger and some stubborn diseases have been greatly alleviated and even eliminated directly!
The old octogenarian who was already unable to walk on the road can also walk around the ground with crutches.
In addition, the dynasty also vigorously lowered grain prices and distributed prices, continuously expanded various industries to recruit workers vigorously, and tried to increase the income of ordinary people.
I heard that the court is planning some fast-passing equipment and expanding the road so that the people who cannot afford the teleportation array can quickly go to other places.
There are countless policies and measures that are beneficial to people's livelihood, which makes the people of Dacang support Wang Jun more sincere!
Tomorrow is the second year of Taichu, with a new year and a new atmosphere. Everyone hopes that Da Cang can become more prosperous and his own life will be more prosperous.
Royal Palace, Hall of Supreme Harmony.
Shangguan Wudi was sitting upright on the throne with his eyes closed, frowning and thinking about something.
Up to now, a total of six beast ghost domains in the Da Cang Dynasty have been cleared five.
The one left is the one at the foot of the Luoyi Mountains in the southeast.
The beast-warming ghost realm was extremely vast, and Da Cang invested three million troops to continue his strategy in advance.
However, although tens of millions of Yin beasts and barbarian ghosts were strangled in half a month, they only barely cleared the periphery!
Ten days ago, other troops who completed the mission continued to join, which accelerated the speed.
But the inner siege was only cleared by about half. If you want to completely clear it, it will probably take about half a month!
However, this time, the training and breaking the nest are both at the same time, so this speed is acceptable.
At present, Shangguan Wudi is actually thinking about another thing...
Five serial tasks in the Strategic Beast Ghost Domain have been completed, and except for the first one, the rewards for the other four have also been issued.
"Second: Characters·Six Sword Slave, 10 bottles of Wuyi Dan"
"Three: Character Ma Chao, Epiphany Pill (1 bottle of heaven, 10 bottle of earth, 10 bottle of mysterious level)"
"Fourth: Character Zhao Yun, 1 gift package for the sixth level elixir"
"Fifth: Character Qi Jiguang, 1 Silu Machinery Building Boat (Yellow Class Top-grade), 10 Sanlu Machinery Building Boat (Yellow Class Top-grade), and 100 Erlu Machinery Building Boat (Yellow Class Middle-grade)"
...
"Six Sword Slave: 'The Thorn of the Net, the word "Sky"
There are six people in total, namely: True Hard, Broken Water, Chaos God, Witches, Transformation of Souls, and Destroying Souls, all of which are the first level of the Grand Master Realm.”
"Ma Chao: 'The style, poetry and books are both good, and the brave and handsome Ma Chao'
Level 1 of Grandmaster"
"Zhao Yun: 'Gentian's mighty general, a vigilant loyal and brave minister'
Level 1 of Grandmaster"
"Qi Jiguang: 'The unparalleled commander of the military strategist, the extraordinary brave general of the military formation'
Level 1 of Grandmaster"
...
Originally, Shangguan Wudi planned to wait until he took down the Iron Elephant and Jiuming Dynasty and then march into the vast sea.
After all, there are four middle-grade dynasty sects on the Crescent Island closest to Dacang;
Moreover, the Yaoming Sect and Yufeng Sect are middle-grade top dynasties, with many masters emerging in their sects, and even the perfect master level may not be missing.
In addition, the vast sea is unpredictable, and if the army wants to cross the expedition, it will inevitably face great risks.
If there are no solid and majestic ships, it will only cause losses to lose their troops!
The manufacturing of ships took a very long time, and up to now, only some large weapon-class troop transport ships have been built.
As for large-scale entry-level warships such as the Machine Building Ship, they may not be able to rely on them in just two or three months or even half a year.
However, the large-scale expansion of the army and the casting of various equipment have already put the dynasty's foundation on the verge of exhaustion;
He even had to spend a lot of money to purchase supplies from the commercial bank.
This makes Da Cang look prosperous, but in fact he is already facing the danger of treasury deficit.
Even if Tiexiang and Jiuming were taken down, the resources of these two dynasties would probably be difficult to maintain the rapid development of the Da Cang Dynasty.
Therefore, Shangguan Wudi has been having a headache about this.
He had already gritted his teeth and decided that when he had no choice, he would continue to trade a large amount of Yuanjing with Fengqi Trading Bank to maintain development.
However, after the reward for the fifth mission appeared, Shangguan Wudi began to figure out how to adapt.
The Erlu Machine Building Boat can carry more than 2,000 soldiers, more than 3,000 soldiers in three huts, and more than 5,000 soldiers in four huts.
The ships rewarded by the current system alone can take about 250,000 water war soldiers.
Moreover, more than 100 warships with the worst yellow-class mid-grade warships are enough to go out to sea to carry out a large-scale expedition!
Although the vast sea is dangerous, it is impossible to cross the large warships that have reached the level, right?
However, those troop transport ships are only at the level of sharp weapons after all.
If you encounter an accident, tens of thousands or even tens of thousands of soldiers on a ship will probably go into the underworld in a confused manner!
It is precisely because of these considerations that Shangguan Wudi is a little hesitant.
At this moment, a figure floated in quietly.
"King, Shangshu Mo is here again..."
Hearing this, Shangguan Wudi rubbed his eyebrows with a headache.
Needless to ask, this guy is going to "death" again when he comes!
With a secret gritted his teeth, Shangguan Wudi's eyes suddenly turned ruthless.
Since we can't get out of the way, even if we are not sure, we can only face the challenge!
After making up his mind, Shangguan Wudi no longer struggled and looked at Yuhuatian and said:
"How? What was the response from the Navy Dock?"
"When I go back to the king, there were originally sixty large weapon-class troop transport ships in the Navy Dock, and the forty that have been completed, which is one hundred.
These troop transport ships can be divided into three sizes, which can carry a total of 1.5 million to 2 million soldiers!"
Shangguan Wudi nodded slowly, pondered for a few breaths and made a sudden sound.
"Transfer the decree of this king!
Appoint Qi Jiguang as the chief general of the Zhenghai, and Gan Ning as the deputy general of the Zhenghai!
At the same time, Zhao Yun, Ma Chao, and the Six Swordsman are transferred to accompany him. This time, I will lead the army to personally fight!
The southern garrison troops were ordered to draw millions of soldiers and directly use the teleportation array to teleport to Hanhai County.
Order Gan Ning to prepare for the expedition and assemble all the agency building ships!
At the same time, one hundred troop transport ships were dispatched, and all the supplies must be placed properly. We will go to war tomorrow evening!
With 300,000 naval troops and 1.5 million troops, I don’t believe it, but I can’t take a mere Crescent Island!”
"Abide by the king's order!"
To be continued...
