Aspirations for Nation and Beauty Chapter 7: Dingding Section 100 encirclement network (2)
The three people following Liyuan Shanchuan seemed to have noticed that the lord was in a daze. They had walked along the pier for a few kilometers, but they never said a word. This is not the expression of the lord when he is in a happy mood.
"Maori-kun, is there still no news from our exploration team?" He asked abruptly. Understand the meaning of the Lord's words.
"Well, my lord, there is still no news. Several of our expedition teams have searched far east and south along the Great Pearl Islands. Except for some worthless islands and reefs, we have not found enough to establish our new base. Islands and land, it seems that only the islands of the Great Pearl Islands in that sea area have value."
The Maori Centurion also has some regrets. In order to find a channel that can go straight down to the Southern Ocean, she has spent a lot of energy, but she has not been able to make a breakthrough. The navy of the Triple Alliance is now patrolling and inspecting the waterway from the Great Eastern Ocean to the Great Southern Ocean more closely, and the navy of one's own side is still unable to directly conflict with the navy of the Triple Alliance, which forces one's own side to want to bypass the Three Kingdoms The Great Pearl Islands controlled by the Alliance enter the Mawen Islands in the Great South Sea and then enter the port of the Nanyang Alliance. However, it is obviously unrealistic to have no supply port in the middle of such a long journey, and finding such a supply point has become a problem. Expeditions searched east along the fringes of the Great Pearl Islands, but found nothing. Of course, it was not easy. If they could be found casually, the Triple Alliance, which occupies a favorable location, would have discovered and occupied these islands long ago.
The idea of the lord is very clear. When there are no reliable allies around, only the Nanyang Alliance can join forces with itself through the sea. However, the Triple Alliance was instructed by Li Wufeng to consciously strengthen its precautions in this regard. This also greatly restricted the connection with the Nanyang Alliance, and military supplies became the focus of the Triple Alliance Navy. As the Tang people on the mainland were unified by Li Wufeng, even the channels of capital flow were gradually controlled. The network established by the coastal areas of the mainland had already suffered huge losses. Li Wufeng's security department frantically pursued every clue. Many of my collaborators have been thrown into prison, which is a huge blow to my side.
"Don't be discouraged. I believe that such a vast sea area cannot contain only the Great Pearl Islands. It's just that our efforts are not enough. We must redouble our efforts. This is related to the survival of our nation, and we have to continue to explore." Li Yuan Shanchuan looked cold and serious, "Now Li Wufeng has listed us as the primary enemy. Look at his performance, all of them are against us. The Three Kingdoms Alliance is also with him, so we must break this cage. The Tang people are also in the same situation. In an encirclement, from the Liberians in the north to the Machihans and the Nanyang Alliance in the south, plus us in the Great Eastern Ocean, they will not be easy. This is a wrestling. Whoever can persist until the end will be the winner. The winner. The Three Kingdoms Alliance is not a natural ally of the Tang people either. As long as the situation changes, they will also adapt to the wind, and it depends on the results of the competition between the parties."
"Mr. Maori, it seems that we still need to make some transactions with the Doton people. Many of the things we need still need to be transported from Nomonkan. We might as well put aside the problems of the Crescent Peninsula and the Cook Islands. Make a gesture of negotiating. Luring them into the trap can delay some time. If we want them to continue to maintain trade relations with us, although Situ Tai is finished, the relationship between us is not over. From the territory of the Tang Dynasty China’s smuggling must continue at its current state, and the Tang people don’t have much sea power to restrain us, but they will definitely strengthen restrictions from within, but as long as there are high profits, there will always be people who are willing to do this kind of business.”
"But my lord, our current strength has reached its limit. The navy has consumed a lot of our funds, and now the continuous expansion of the army has overwhelmed the people. A large number of strong labor forces have become soldiers. Now our Foreign trade has been greatly restricted, and now the financial burden is somewhat unbearable." The tone of the last person was a little hesitant, but in the end he mustered up the courage to speak his mind.
Li Yuan Shanchuan's gloomy and cold gaze suddenly swept back, passing over the man's face like a wind knife and frost sword, making the man shiver uncontrollably, and quickly lowered his head.
"Okuda-kun, if every job is not challenging, then why do I need you as the chief financial officer? Which job is not difficult, and which job can be done easily? Your kind I am very disappointed by my mentality!" Although Liyuan Shanchuan's words were very concise, they made the other party's head sweat.
"My lord, Akuda made a slip of the tongue. Akuda must work hard and live up to your kindness." The man bowed repeatedly to express his apology.
Liyuan Shanchuan also knows that these words alone cannot solve the practical difficulties, and he is also aware of the financial constraints. The public raised taxes again in response, but it did not fundamentally change the situation. However, it will take a certain amount of time to convert a large area of land into actual benefits. However, Liyuan Shanchuan believes that as long as this situation continues, it will not be long before the iron mines on the Crescent Peninsula, the silver mines on the Treasure Island, and the fertile land. Plus the island's forest resources, once these things are developed and shipped out, the situation will change drastically. But before that, I had to find a way to deal with this problem,
It is no longer possible to implement tax increase measures, and the patience of the people can no longer be challenged. Since the beginning of the war, I have imposed various tax burdens several times, but the people have not yet seen the benefits of the war. This is easy. Arouse public grievances, especially those few less tame families are more likely to take the lead in making troubles. Overseas trade seems to have to get in touch with the Three Kingdoms Alliance to find a way to open a back door here.
"Akuda-kun, I am donating 500,000 silver coins, you go and tell the news to the heads of the families, and then spread the news to the people, calling on the people to donate enthusiastically, as long as this difficult period is overcome, the light will surely It belongs to us." Li Yuan Shanchuan said word by word: "Mr. Maori, go and strengthen the monitoring of those families, and if you find any changes in them, take immediate and decisive action, arrest them for treason, and confiscate their All property."
"Kono-kun, the plan to develop large-scale transport ships cannot be stopped. We must gain an advantage in the Eastern Continent. Large-scale transport ships will be our most important means of transportation. In the future, we will cooperate with Crescent Peninsula, Treasure Island, and Kamchatka The exchange of materials in these parts of the island must rely on large transport ships. If we want to go further, we must lead in shipbuilding technology. The people we sent to the western mainland should be coming back soon. I hope they are in the western mainland This period of time was not in vain, the Western Continent’s shipbuilding technology has its own merits compared to the technology of the Tang people, and it is even better in ocean-going ships, if we can obtain the secrets, then we can be invincible.”
"Kono understands, my lord!" The man who hadn't spoken all this time made a standard bow and closed his legs tightly.
"Everyone, now is the most critical and difficult time for us and people. As long as we can survive this period of time, we will surely usher in a better future. For the survival and prosperity of our nation, everything else We can all step on our feet, no matter who is blocking the progress of our nation, we must eradicate him without hesitation! No one can stop the rise of our nation, God has given us such an opportunity, we We must never lose! So we can only move forward without retreating one step, towards victory!"
Li Yuan Shanchuan waved his hands wildly as if he wanted to embrace the setting sun in the west. Under the somewhat dim setting sun, the fluttering ribbons of his clothes and his ferocious face were even more like ghosts, as if he wanted to choose someone and devour him .
Wufeng, who stayed in Tianshui, had to deal with the welcome meeting held for him by people from all walks of life in Tianshui Prefecture~IndoMTL.com~His Royal Highness Qin chose land instead of water, which made the people of Tianshui very excited. There will be very little time to go out of Beijing in the future. If you become an emperor, of course you can only sit in the center and control the overall situation, but you can't walk around freely like when you were a prince. Then Tianshui can't miss this opportunity. Especially with the future queens and concubines accompanying him, this is a rare opportunity in a thousand years, enough for Tianshui to write a rich and colorful record in the future history of the empire.
As an important town connecting Kansai and the imperial capital, Tianshui also plays an important role in Heshuo County. The dyes and lacquer produced in Tianshui also occupy a very important position in the entire empire, and the industry and commerce developed by relying on these two specialties are also important. Most of them are related to these two raw materials, and dye merchants and lacquer merchants are important members of the Heshuo Chamber of Commerce.
As the first governor of Heshuo, He Jing had already been waiting for the arrival of Wufeng and his party in Tianshui. After the invasion of Heshuo and Kaman, he was extremely tired of the war, and the trend of thoughts longing for peace, stability and economic development has become the mainstream in Heshuo. To build it into a plan comparable to the three southeast counties, of course, it needs the support of the central government to succeed. This is also one of the purposes of his coming to Tianshui to meet His Highness King Qin.
