Chapter 495: Back to Dragon Island
Chapter 495: Return to Dragon Island again
The evil god Huoyun was pulled by Xiao Han. But he had no choice. Who said that he was a subordinate of Hei Ta before?
Although the Black Tower is no longer the Black Tower, his position as the commander of the Fire Cloud Iron Cavalry and the guardian of the Black Tower City is still there. Xiao Han was at the time of hiring people, so he naturally dragged him in.
The evil god Huoyun got Xiao Han's prescription and thought of resigning from his official position to take Huo Wu to the family of elixirs, but he was dragged by Xiao Han, so he would not let him go so easily. So, in exchange, Xiao Han had to go to Zixia Academy once and give her sister Huo Wu a complete diagnosis.
Of course Xiao Han could not refuse such a thing, so he agreed to Huo Yun go to Zixia Academy once before he left the Heita Province. He was also very curious about what kind of person the Zixia Academy was.
The negotiations with the Ye family to purchase warships were held at the Mengge City Hotel the next day after Xiao Han took control of the situation!
The Ye family and his party were led by a man named Ye Liucheng. There were a total of fifteen people in the negotiating delegation, and there were only more than one hundred people with accompanying guards. It has been more than ten days since they arrived in Mengge City.
At first, they negotiated with Fangya according to the instructions of the Ouyang family. But Fangya was dead before she could control the overall situation. Of course, the Ye family turned to negotiate with the Black Tower, which controlled the situation!
Xiao Han had no experience in purchasing a warship. Fortunately, Heita and Fang had such a group of people under him. He was no longer dealing with the Ye family members once or twice, so he was familiar with the negotiations and soon reached the purchase intention.
However, Xiao Han meant that warships were naturally more abundant. The Black Tower could not consume them and could be sold to Fengcheng. Although it was the left hand to the right hand, this would give Xiao Han an excuse to secretly inject funds into the Black Tower.
After the canal is dug in the wind city, a giant ship of ten thousand tons may not be able to pass through, but a ship of less than ten thousand tons should not be a big problem. The Black Tower Fleet can take this opportunity to upgrade its combat effectiveness and concentrate some ships with long service and weak combat effectiveness to sell them to Feng City. In this way, these ships can help Feng City train a group of qualified navy troops and then partly use them for shipping. In this way, Rong Xin and others will have a place to use it!
So Xiao Han, who was rich and powerful, dropped a huge order of twenty ships in one breath, including cruisers, frigates, etc., which are always large warships of more than ten thousand tons. Sixty-ton warships were also ordered, and there were also many other fragmented ships. This is almost the production capacity of all the Ye family shipyards to start construction for three years. The total tonnage exceeds four million tons.
The Ye family has been resting at ease with such a large order for three to five years.
When Ye Liucheng received a huge order of nearly one hundred ships, his hands were trembling with excitement.
The largest order that Yejia Shipyard has received so far is only one million tons, and this is the first time that orders of more than four million tons.
Of course, this huge order also has requirements. For example, the Ye family must help Mengge Port to cultivate more than three docks that can be allowed to dock at 10,000 tons, and a medium-sized shipyard, which mainly produces some maintenance parts and boats below 1,000 tons. Of course, the power system of the ship will be purchased directly from the Ye family!
Xiao Han’s requirements are very reasonable. After all, warships are used for navigation and combat. Once damaged, they need to be repaired. If the Ye family’s dock is always open for repair, it will cost a lot, and the Ye family itself will not be busy.
This order with a total value of more than 30 billion gold coins is definitely exciting news for the Ye family.
Of course, Xiao Han also made a request, which was to dispatch supervisors. He was a little unbelievable about the Ye family. If he played tricks on quality, the ship would be a catastrophe at sea. Therefore, the dispatch of supervisors was to supervise the quality, and the other was to learn technology secretly!
Although the requirements are a bit too much, after the ship is built, the buyer must always accept the quality. If the quality is not qualified or does not meet the design standards, the buyer can completely refuse to accept the goods.
Although the Ye family's ships are of good quality, there are inevitably some returns. If the supervisor can find problems and correct them in real time, then there will be no problem of being returned. Anyway, where the person is here, isn't he left the final say?
After three days of negotiations, the Ye family agreed to this huge order. Because of Ye Hao's death, the Ye family was once in a state of sluggishness. The Ye family needed more exciting news than anyone else to stimulate the fighting spirit of all the children of the Ye family!
After the order is signed, a deposit of 30% must be paid according to the rules, which means that Xiao Han has to pay about 10 billion gold coins at once.
Xiao Han simply collected the goods he had collected from the Black Tower and Fangya Mansion, estimated that some of the value was only about 8 billion, and there was still a gap of 2 billion. Xiao Han sold many assets under the name of Black Tower and Fangya, including their shares in Hongxiu Tianxiang, and raised about 300 million. Huo Yun generously donated money and took out 200 million gold coins and temporarily lent it to Xiao Han!
With 1.5 billion left, Xiao Han sold more than 70 large and small ships in the Black Tower Fleet that had been in service for a long time to Fengcheng for 1.5 billion gold coins. Of course, this transaction is a secret, and the gold coins were exchanged with the left hand and the right hand. These ships had to serve in the Black Tower Fleet for about three years before they could be transferred to Fengcheng one by one!
Of course, this kind of transaction is nothing. Even if the Ye family knows it, they can only smile bitterly. It is natural that they have new warships and sell the old ones. They can't sell things, are you not sure?
Of course, Xiao Han secretly had another plan, which was to use three years to send the old warships in his hand to the Ye family’s dock for upgrading and transformation, at least to extend their service life!
So this is of course conducted in secret, and it prevents people from obstructing the Ouyang family, so it can only be conducted in secret.
One hundred billion was gone, and the family was completely empty. However, Xiao Han was not worried because there was still tax, and as long as you survive the first three months, everything would be fine. Xiao Han changed the habit of eating alone in the Black Tower, encouraged merchants to go out to sea to do business, and at the same time let warships escort the fleet, and then charged a certain fee. Although this fee is not enough to support soldiers, it can train soldiers. Sometimes when encountering pirates, they can still train soldiers in actual combat. Others spend money and train themselves. Isn’t that good?
As trade increases, one's own tax revenue will also increase. In such a virtuous cycle, tax revenue will increase like a snowball, and you still have to worry about not having money to support your soldiers?
As for the remaining 20 billion, Xiao Han is not worried. Anyway, he has to wait until the warship is fully delivered to the other party. Within three years, he will have to live in a province and earn less than 20 billion. That is too unreasonable.
Xiao Han would not let Ouyang Qian know his true identity, so as soon as the fleet landed, he ordered Xiao Hu to take his men to board the Black Tower, put the Black Tower and two Haifeng people on their heads, and then took them away.
The Heita Province quietly changed a master. The fleet's more than 200,000 officers and soldiers knew this fact, but no one dared to say it. Even if they said it, no one probably believed it, because Xiao Han, the new master, seemed to treat them better than their old master!
The reason why disaster comes from the mouth is clear.
Xiao Han had a new idea about the resettlement of the Black Flame Clan, which was attributed to Xiao Han's suspicion of the purpose of the sea breeze. If the sea breeze colluded with the Ouyang family, then their purpose might not only be to control the fleet, but also a more terrifying purpose, which is to control these islands near the sea. Originally, there were people living on these islands. As long as there were people living, the sea clans would definitely be very difficult to do if they wanted to occupy the islands silently and build a forward base. However, Heita led the fleet to sweep these islands, which was equivalent to helping the sea clans with great help. They could sneak over and build bases on the islands, hoarding food, supplies, etc.!
If the sea tribes want to attack the human continent, they will come from thousands of miles away. If they are not fully prepared, they will only gain a temporary advantage and will eventually be driven into the sea by others. This is not a new thing.
This time, the sea tribe has been preparing for thousands of years, not only sent people to infiltrate. Even the pre-war preparations were very detailed. They had a complete and precise plan, so Xiao Han couldn't help but take it seriously!
Xiao Han is not that noble, so he said he would save humans, but he knew that there would be no eggs under the collapse of the nest. If humans are finished, he will be finished!
Are you willing to be a rootless duckweed and lead your wife and children to live a life of wandering around?
What Xiao Han thought most about is to drink wine, eat side dishes every day, and occasionally go to the street to tease a playboy life of a young lady, but he wouldn't get such a life. If there was a big tree above him, it would be fine, but he was bare and all the pressure on him was overwhelmed, so he was forced to do so!
First, they release their Black Flame slaves, and then organize them according to their previous tribal group relationships and send them to an island near the coast that is suitable for them to live in. First, they help them build houses, and then guide them to create wealth with their skills.
The second thing is to expand the coastal defense force, expanding the coastal defense force with a population of less than 10,000 to 200,000. Of course, one of the key points is to incorporate the troops of the other three major families!
This idea has been thought of since Xiao Han took over the power left by the Hei Tower. There is no discordant voice within his sphere of influence. Either rely on himself as a follower, wealth and honor are indispensable, or it is eliminated. The big stick makes the radish policy more useful than anything else!
The expansion of the coastal defense force is mainly to station on the islands and to prepare for future landings against the sea tribes.
Of course, the fleet needs to be expanded, but it is reduced on the original basis. The Black Tower Province has more than one fleet of Black Tower, but also three fleets, which belong to three major families, the Ye family, the Mo family and the Fili family. The fleets of the three major families are not as strong as Black Tower, but they are more powerful than Black Tower. However, in terms of total tonnage, if the fight is really done, the three fleets will not be as strong as the Black Tower's fleet!
So Xiao Han left Xiao Lu's fleet expansion direction to annex the fleets of these three major families!
Xiao Lu lacked interest in such a challenging job, but he did not dare not ignore Xiao Han's orders. Fortunately, he was very satisfied with being a general. In the past, how could he be so majestic and command hundreds of warships to gallop across the ocean?
So after Xiao Lu received Xiao Han's military order, he began to sharpen his knife.
The persimmons are so weak that the weakest among the three major families is the Ye family. The fleet has only more than twenty ships and the number of people is only 30,000. In addition to the Shanghai Defense Forces, the total strength is no more than 50,000.
Moreover, Ye’s Yeliu City is the closest to Mengge City. It will survive in the cracks between the Daniel family, the second largest family in Heita Province. If the Ye family had not controlled Yeliu Port, there would have been no more bones left!
The Ye family has a marriage relationship with the three major families outside the Daniel family. It can be said that the Ye family is supported by women. The women in the Ye family are all very outstanding, otherwise the Ye family would not survive in the cracks. Everyone left a passionate feeling. Besides, the other three major families are unwilling to face the Daniel family directly, so the Ye family has become a shield!
To talk about the black towers in the past, I dreamed of truly unifying the black tower province, but it was not that easy to do it!
To launch a war of unity, there is always a reason? There is no reason, start a war at will, and the four major families unite. If this fight begins, Heita will naturally have two masters, he and Huoyun, and two powerful worshippers. But the four major families are not bad. They have close ties with Zixia Academy. Even the mysterious Zixia Academy is afraid of the Ouyang family, let alone him!
If he was in the position of Zixia Academy, he wouldn't want to see a unified Black Tower Province. Without disputes, what would he, the mediator, do?
To unify the Heita Province, the first thing that cannot be avoided is Zixia Academy!
Therefore, the governor of Heita was desperately trying to establish a good relationship with Zixia Academy during his term. Even when Huo Wu was specially appointed as a professor of herbal medicine by Zixia Academy, Heita felt that he was very proud of his face. The scholarship fund he donated to Zixia Academy every year exceeded 10 million gold coins!
Of course, this deliberate show of goodwill will naturally bring a lot of rewards, otherwise Hei Ta would not be able to be re-elected as governor for three terms. How many twenty years can one term be in his life?
Xiao Han intends to unify the Black Tower Province. Huo Yun originally wanted to persuade and stop him, but when he saw Xiao Han's family strength, he chose to shut up.
Although he didn't know how powerful Zixia Academy was, it always guarded the one-acre three-point land of Zixia Academy, and did not ask about the military and political affairs of the Heita Province. It was just that it had a great influence and had cultivated many famous figures, so everyone was a little afraid of him.
But if Xiao Han really unifies the Hei Tower Province, Zixia Academy can only accept this result, even if it is unhappy, there is no way!
Zixia Academy cannot break the rules it has set for thousands of years and intervene in the struggle of mankind, which will make it lose its transcendent status.
Everyone knows this principle. To unify the Hei Tower Province, you must act quickly. As long as it becomes a certain fact, it will be useless even if Zixia Academy finally intervenes in mediation.
Heita also knows this truth, but although he is the strongest, if he wants to sweep the Heita province in a short period of time, it is impossible unless he gets the help of the Ouyang family, so the idea of unification arises and goes on.
The expansion of the Huoyun Iron Cavalry to 10,000 people was certainly not expanded in one go. This is just an expansion plan. The Huoyun Evil God needs to complete this military expansion plan within three years. The specific things are handed over to Jian Wu. He is the adopted son of the Huoyun Evil God. This identity is enough to allow him to command such an army that "attacks like fire and acts like wind"!
After spending huge amounts of money to buy the warship, Xiao Han's finances became extremely embarrassing, but he was not short of money. He took out a pile of pearls in the space value and could only support a Huoyun Iron Cavalry.
The pearls Xiao Han obtained from the clam clan were all the best, and in order to raise funds, he had to decide to sell a little.
He handed this matter over to Hongxiutianxiang Group. I believe that these beautiful pearls will make those noble ladies crazy!
Ouyang Qian's disappearance frightened the Ouyang family. Although the Ouyang family knew that Ouyang Qian's disappearance was related to the Black Tower, which regained the power of the Black Tower, the relationship between the Ouyang family and the Black Tower was still in darkness. If it was revealed to the world, it would cause a lot of trouble!
However, Ouyang Qian was too important to the Ouyang family. On the third day after Ouyang Qian was imprisoned and transferred away by Xiao Han, the people from the Ouyang family came to Mengge City in a flying monster!
Jian Er (Liu Shun) has been completely loyal to Xiao Han. After the intelligence network resumed operation, he soon found the place where the people from the Ouyang family came to the position.
"Master, the leader is a senior elder of the Ouyang family, named Ouyang Feng. This man has a deep cultivation level and may have broken through the god level. This time he brought a total of twenty people, and the leader is his nephew, Ouyang Ke. His cultivation is not weak. Our people dare not get too close, for fear of being discovered!" Liu Shun successfully took over the intelligence department and worked as a part-time manager in the Governor's Office. The former manager was killed by Yaoya. There was no suitable candidate for a while, so he could only let him play part-time!
"Ouyang Feng, Ouyang Ke, check the relationship between these two people!" When Xiao Han heard these two names, he couldn't help but think of the uncle and nephew in Mr. Jin Yong's famous book "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", Ouyang Feng stole his wife and gave birth to Ouyang Ke. Will this uncle and nephew have the same relationship?
Xiao Han was very curious, to be precise, he was possessed of a magical disease.
"Master, these two are uncles and nephews, what else can I check?" Liu Shun asked in confusion.
"The Lord asked you to check, just go check it. Why do you talk so much?" Xiao Lu said impatiently.
"Yes, General Xiao Lu!" Liu Shun worked with Xiao Lu for a while, and was still scared of Xiao Lu's horror, so of course he did not dare to refute the slightest rebuttal.
"Xiao Lu, I'll give you the fleet to you, which is a huge expectation. In three years, do you have the confidence to bring me 300,000? No, 400,000 strong troops!" Xiao Han asked loudly.
"Please rest assured, Lord, Lu will definitely live up to expectations!" Xiao Han bowed slightly and said loudly.
