Chapter 158 The Prelude to the Conquest of Nanyang! Don't order a trial yet!
Chapter 158 The prelude to the conquest of Nanyang! (Don’t order it yet, try anti-theft)
Jia Lian did not try to recruit strong local NPCs from this gathering in Czech City, nor did he try to make friends with local nobles or develop allies.
It's not that he didn't want to, because when the local nobles raised prices on a large scale, Jia Lian found that he, a poor man, could not afford the recruitment fees and corresponding treatment.
Yes, after seeing the heritage accumulated by the royal family and great nobles of the Persian Black Kingdom over thousands of years, Jia Lian finally recognized the fact that he was a poor man for the time being!
As for making alliances and making friends, what's the use of making friends with these so-called great nobles who don't even have the fighting power in the legendary world?
Is it possible that after their pre-selection, they will be willing to send their only legendary strongman to support?
I also know that this is impossible to happen. In this case, why should we form an alliance? We should maintain friendly relations and continue doing business!
Jia Lian also took advantage of this opportunity to throw away a large amount of gold-level and legendary-level materials accumulated by his legion, in exchange for a large number of precious supplies and materials for the construction of the magic tower.
The only thing left is the key material used to make the core of the tower spirit - the legendary energy core!
It's just that this thing seems to be extremely scarce, perhaps because it is regarded as a strategic resource by major forces. Even if Jia Lian brought out legendary-level equipment, no one was willing to trade it.
However, many big nobles were very interested in the legendary equipment that Jia Lian presented, and they repeatedly invited Jia Lian to discuss, but no one could come up with a price that could impress Jia Lian.
In the end, we had no choice but to let it go, but Jia Lian, who took out this top-notch treasure, also entered the eyes of all the great nobles. The royal families of the three kingdoms had already raised their attention to Jia Lian to the highest level.
However, they were also extremely interested in the equipment Jia Lian provided, but they were absolutely unwilling to provide the legendary energy core that Jia Lian needed!
Finally, as the salon ended, [Jia Lian's Army] returned to Fabresburg with a large amount of rare building resources, and immediately sent people to Rastenburg to invite Jia Min.
At the same time, they began to recruit and recruit people from nearby territories to prepare to start building their own magic tower. Of course, they would definitely pay real money to the recruited people!
Based on Jia Lian's self-awareness, he will never allow things like arrears of wages to migrant workers in his territory. Violators will be severely punished!
Although the materials for one of the core components are still missing, construction of other magic tower parts, especially the basic area, can begin early.
As for the energy core of the legendary level, anyway, the "game world" has started to upgrade monsters for some unknown reason. Seeing that the wild at night will soon be inferior to dogs at level 3, legends are everywhere.
It's just an energy core, so I guess it shouldn't be difficult to "refresh" it.
…
In Jinling, even in the dark night, the Xiaguan Ferry Pier is still brightly lit and bustling with people, making it look very lively.
The merchant ships coming and going are constantly unloading and loading even late at night. As the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties, Jinling is naturally extremely prosperous, but for this Xiaguan Ferry alone, it is rare to be so prosperous.
With the rise of maritime transportation in recent times, it has been of great benefit to all major coastal cities in the south of the Yangtze River. Although Jinling is not a coastal city, its geographical location is extremely advantageous. As one of the most important water and land hubs in the Yangtze River estuary,
First, Jinling City is naturally a beneficiary.
The opposite is the decline of water transportation. It used to be that during the busy period of some canals, only ships could travel side by side. Now...
At least one-third of the area visible to the naked eye was depleted. In fact, it was mainly due to the disappearance of most of the large ships transporting government supplies. But even so, the canal was still extremely busy.
After all, even for modern flower growers, it was not until the maturity of the railway transportation network in the 1970s and 1980s that river transportation declined significantly.
However, doing something like this that cuts off people's financial opportunities will naturally trigger a crazy backlash from those people who lie down on this canal and eat a lot of food, and their mouths are full of fat.
The result was naturally a massacre of corpses and a sea of blood!
Not all those who took action were from the Jia family. Emperor Baode was the main driver of the ruthless act. The reason was, of course, that these people blocked the way of the Daqing court.
What's more, these people who lie on the boatman Lifu's body all day long to suck blood and marrow are guilty of heinous crimes and deserve to die, and almost none of them should not be killed.
Since the leader of the Cao Gang, Zhu Yunnian, most of the top management of the Cao Gang have been purged, leaving only two elders who are relatively low-key and somewhat conscientious compared to the past to check and balance each other and continue to control the Cao Gang for the imperial court.
Other black and white people were similarly purged, and even high-ranking border officials like the Governor of Water Transport were exposed.
As for the bottom boatmen who lost their livelihood due to the decline of water transportation, they were forcibly transferred to major docks in the south of the Yangtze River.
Among them, the [Jia Lian Legion]'s stronghold in the south of the Yangtze River naturally accommodates the most people. The number of people in the Jia family's offshore fleet has almost emptied all the previous strongholds, but the number of people transported up by water is just right.
These people are also extremely skilled boatmen. Their future will be on the sea, but there is still a big difference in the environment between inland rivers and the ocean.
But no matter what, the time they need to adapt and train will be much shorter than the first batch of people.
The Jia family gained a large number of people who were good at working on the water and on ships. The royal family and some civil and military ministers gained access to the senior officials of the Cao Gang and many family assets that had been implicated in the misfortune. To a certain extent, everyone was happy.
When the manpower at various docks is fully trained, coupled with the sea-going ships that have been prepared a long time ago, the Jia family's fleet will soon grow again, and the expedition to Southeast Asia is about to begin!
[Blue Dragon Jade] The outer layer of the Yimu Green Dragon Cover, at this time, manifests into a green dragon about 3 meters long. The energy fluctuation is close to the legendary level, making it look like a real blue dragon.
In the largest and most exquisite house at Xiaguan Ferry, Zhang Shun, the innate master-level expert who was famous in Jinling City, was respectfully reporting to the blue dragon about the situation at the port.
[Blue Dragon Jade] The green dragon transformed into was also accompanied by a girl about thirteen or fourteen years old, with bright eyes, white teeth, eyes like apricots, and curved eyebrows, it was Qian Qian!
"General, now we have received nearly 10,000 horses and horses transported by water at Xiaguan Ferry. They have been training for three months and have begun to bear fruit. General, your plan to conquer the South China Sea will not be delayed."
"..."
"..."
[Jia Lian's Corps] has more than ten port-type strongholds in the south of the Yangtze River and has received a total of 80,000 people from water transportation. These people will become members of the Jia family's fleet in the future.
"Well, Zhang Shun, you did a good job, I will give you a credit!
By the way, this is my little apprentice, you haven’t seen it yet.
Girl, this is the master master of our Jia family who is in charge of Jinling, just call him Uncle Zhang."
Sissi obediently stepped forward to greet Zhang Shun and called him Uncle Zhang.
Seeing this, Zhang Shun quickly stretched out his hand to support Sissi, and groped around for a long time. With an expression of slight pain on his face, he took out a high-grade jade as a meeting gift and gave it to Sissi.
Although the girl rejected the offer, Zhang Shun still allowed her to accept it because he did not dare to resign due to the elder's gift.
When he learned that Qianqian had now entered the second stage of refining the gods and started to formally raise the weapon, Zhang Shun was even more amazed.
"Miss Sissi is really beautiful and talented..."
"Haha~ By the way, how are the Zhen mother and daughter who were placed here two years ago now?"
"Well, General, the Zhen Feng family is now responsible for supervising the purchase of the largest kitchen on our dock, and he is quite capable.
Does the general want to invite the Zhen Feng family to come and meet?"
"No need, it's already late at night, and the mother and daughter have probably rested for a long time, so it's not a good idea to disturb them. You can send someone to take Sissy to see them tomorrow!"
Sissi, who was sitting aside, heard Jia Lian asking about Zhen's mother and daughter. Her beautiful little face was already facing this side, listening attentively. After hearing Jia Lian's arrangement, a faint smile appeared on her pretty face.
.
…
[Blue Dragon's Jade] has disappeared from flight. Now, with the reason why [Moonlight] and Jia Lian completely "matched" that day, Jia Lian has also understood the core element "law" of advancing to the fourth level legend.
It has finally reached a level where it is possible to conduct a preliminary analysis of the laws contained in [Blue Dragon's Jade]. If it can be analyzed, it can be adjusted and repaired. Being able to adjust and repair means that [Blue Dragon's Word] is not far away from fully exerting its power.
As the progress of law analysis increases, the power of the spells cast by the second soul controlling [Blue Dragon Jade] has increased, and it is close to the limit of the innate realm. In the near future, it is expected to be upgraded to the legendary level like [Moonlight].
.
In this way, Jia Lian has two powerful legendary-level Taoist weapons at his side, and he can barely be considered a legendary-level strongman!
When the time comes to attack Wushuang, the particularly lethal [Moonlight], coupled with the [Blue Dragon Jade], which has multiple functions but is more auxiliary and protective, is used as a protective magic weapon. This attack and defense are simply a perfect match.
Then, even if he faces legendary level opponents alone in the future, Jia Lian will have no fear.
Although it is great to have an invincible army and have your own subordinates to deal with all kinds of enemies.
But as a man who grew up in the Wuxun family, how could a time traveler (reborn person) not be interested in extraordinary power and fighting?
The reason why I acted cowardly and stubborn in the past was just because I was still young and my individual combat power was obviously weak compared to the enemies I faced. It was understandable that I could be stubborn.
As Jia Lian, you don’t like hearty battles?
People who like to play horse-cutting are more or less people who yearn for fighting with swords, killing and conquering!
Now that he finally had the confidence to go into battle in person, Jia Lian was extremely excited. It was true that he put half of his mind on the second spirit every day.
This time, I had a sudden idea to ask [Blue Dragon Jade] to travel around the world with Qian Qian, who had started to refine spiritual weapons.
Of course, [Blue Dragon Jade] itself is performing the task of traveling the world in place of Jia Lian. The reason why we brought along this little girl Sissi this time is because Zhihua, the maid who was responsible for taking care of her some time ago, came to report.
It is said that this little girl has been chanting Xiangling's name in her sleep for several nights in a row. It seems that she misses the sister she once depended on.
However, this sweet and heart-warming little girl never expressed her thoughts in front of others, apparently for fear of causing trouble to Jia Lian.
It's fine if you don't know, but now that you know your good disciple's wish, of course you have to make arrangements quickly.
Thus, Qianqian and Qinglong’s plan to travel thousands of miles officially begins!
The fact that Jia Lian had a second soul [Blue Dragon Jade] was not hidden from the people around him. As the founding disciple, Qian Qian naturally knew about it.
But she never thought that the so-called "Blue Dragon Jade" could actually turn into a lifelike blue dragon!
This made Xiao Nizi admire her master even more. Our master is indeed a man of great powers!
Moreover, this green dragon can actually activate many powerful spells. Even Uncle Zhang, the innate master he met in Jinling, is no match for the master's second soul.
…
The next day, Xiang Ling met Xiang Ling, whom she had always missed in her heart, early in the morning. The little girl Xiang Ling was very surprised and happy to see the sister Xiang Ling who had always depended on her in the past.
Mrs. Zhen Feng was also very grateful to this girl who had always taken good care of her during the years when her daughter suffered.
He also understood that the rescue of his daughter was entirely due to this young girl, so his attitude toward her was so grateful that it was almost respectful.
Jia Lian did not appear in front of Zhen and her daughter. After all, his Green Dragon Wings were still a bit shocking to ordinary people.
Sisters Xiang Ling and Qian Qian reunited after a long absence. First they cried, and then naturally they had endless things to say. Zhen Feng specially took leave and prepared a lot of delicious food at home to entertain Qian Qian.
…
And just when Sissi and Xiangling reunited after a long absence, they played happily all day long, and even slept together in bed at night and kept whispering.
In the mansion at the center of Xiaguan Ferry Pier, the "Blue Dragon Jade" suddenly flashed bursts of beautiful emerald light.
There seems to be some substance in the air that is difficult for ordinary people to detect, and this subtle movement slowly begins to become violent.
Suddenly, at this moment, the "prelude" of [Blue Dragon's Jade] has been completed, and a high-frequency "dragon roar" that exceeds the perception limit of ordinary human ears sounded!
The originally clear night sky with stars accompanying the moon was suddenly shrouded in dark clouds. Accompanied by three loud thunders, a sudden heavy rain poured down!
At the same time, Jia Lian, who was far away in Shenjing City, was shocked. Is this?
Make the wind and rain!!!
Mist grass!
Isn’t it said that they are all wood spells? Why are there such fancy things?
Is it true that he deserves the position of Qinglong in the world of Red Mansions?
From now on, we can also use clouds to spread rain, or even open altars to pray for rain?
At this moment, Jia Lian's excitement was indescribable.
Hmm... maybe only Qin Keqing, who is bearing someone's wanton impact underneath her, can empathize a little bit!
