On a midsummer morning when the sun was shining brightly, the climate was warm, and there was thick water vapor under a mountain peak. A stupid bear with black eyes ran through the bamboo forest, as if there were ferocious beasts chasing behind it.
"Haha, bear, don't run away, come to my bowl..." The laughter like silver bells sounded from behind, clear and sweet.
sieve
The wind blew through the forest, and an arrow with aura passed by the shoulder. Blood splashed everywhere. The slightly injured bear roared and ran faster, rushing across a clear stream.
It seemed to be a very spiritual bear. It cleverly ran along the stream for a while, letting the stream wash away the traces of its footprints, and then swooped into the dense forest diagonally opposite.
After a while, the branches and leaves parted, and a girl jumped out. Her first impression was that her legs were very long and her calves were very strong. She was riding on a pair of straw sandals. Her short light blue shirt was washed white with starch, and she held a wooden bow with golden patterns in her hand.
, wearing a short knife on her waist and a small blue cloth covering her head, which contrasted well with her snow-white skin.
At this moment, her oval face was flushed due to strenuous exercise, her eyes were bright black, and there was a little blue mole between her eyebrows, making her look like a somewhat exotic and mysterious beauty.
But overall, she gives the impression that she is still a girl with no hair, and she is a very active naughty child.
At this time, the girl followed closely to the stream and observed the bear's paw prints with keen and lively eyes. She was disappointed to find that the footprints on the opposite side had disappeared and the prey had used the stream to avoid tracking.
If it hadn't been for a gust of green wind just now, I would have been shot
Annoyance turned into annoyance, her stomach growled, and the feeling of hunger made the girl's voice suddenly turn pitiful: "Bear, come out... I promise to shoot you one more arrow, and never a third arrow."
The smart bear naturally refused to agree. The smarter girl listened intently to the movements in the forest opposite, biting her fingers to compete with her opponent for patience. She seemed simple and stubborn, refusing to change her target even if a new bird or beast scurried past... She was convinced.
My dinner is not gone yet.
After a while, there was a rustling sound of branches and leaves thirty feet downstream, which made the girl feel where the feast was going. She jumped up happily and ran in that direction.
There was a black shadow running between the trees. The girl nocked an arrow from her bow. At this moment, a kind of awe-inspiring solemnity appeared on her face. Her eyes were focused on the prey in the distance. The arrow seemed to be an extension of her body.
Through instinct and years of training, she could feel the slightest changes in the air flow and make adjustments accordingly... The wind was now facing the wind, everything was perfect... She had foreseen that she could hit the target.
sieve--
The arrow flew out, and at this moment, the green wind blew over the forest again, and the arrow grazed the bear's nose again, and disappeared. The coldness of the tip of the arrow made the bear fall to the ground, and turned around in fear.
"Why is the wind blowing again..." The girl was about to cry. She held the third arrow in her hand. She hesitated and put it down. She sighed: "Okay, I promise you will only shoot two arrows."
The bear seemed to be very intelligent, and he didn't know whether he understood her movements or words, and immediately ran away with a squeak.
The girl came back disappointed. She felt that she should pick some wild fruits to eat, otherwise she would be so hungry that she would be dizzy and even miss a rabbit. She stopped with a sudden sound and stared at the sky: "That was the wind just now..."
"
A gust of green wind blew on one side of the sky, rolling up a vortex to one side and blowing away the clouds, revealing a huge tree.
This towering green tree is at least ten miles high, standing directly against a large expanse of blue sky. Its branches spread for dozens of miles, forming a sea of branches and leaves.
It stands in the world as if it is holding up the sky. The crown of the tree is as high as the sun, and it can be seen even from this far away.
"so tall……"
The girl was stunned. It was strange that she had never seen it in the tribe before. She always felt that this green tree made her very familiar, and she longed for it more than a roast bear dinner. She immediately hesitated.
She knew that was the direction where the sun rose, and Aniang said it was the east...and the beautiful sea.
But there are also very ferocious and ferocious dragons, as well as many strange tribes and things. This tree must be very strange.
"If you go that way along the stream, you won't lose your way home. Then... let's go take a look?"
The girl tied up her straw sandals and walked forward with a bow and knife in hand. A green continent spread out little by little under her feet. The beautiful scenery and the gentle breeze blew past, making everything fresh fade into a hazy past.
.
The road is so far away that we can’t see the edge.
Dongzhou Southern Coast·Muping River Estuary·Xinfeng City
Looking outside the city, the land has been cleared very flat and many trees have been cut down. You can see continuous satellite towns and roads. The population has reached 3 million. In addition to the acres of land, there are even a forest of workshops. Farther away, there is a deep-water port.
Hundreds of large and small ships are moored, most of which are warships under the banner of the Xiangzhou Navy. Thanks to the support of this powerful navy, it is possible to complete coastal territorial expansion and support and protection in spring, summer and autumn.
"Where is the princess?" Prince Qing asked.
The attendants on the left and right looked at each other and replied: "I went to patrol the Muping River."
Prince Qing did not ask any further questions and continued to admire his territory. This prosperous territory was the pride of the new owner this year. Whenever he stood on this high point, he overlooked the crowds, streets, fields, carriages and horses, ports, warships...
He has a touch of pride that is reclusive and independent. He lacked the experience of starting up in a difficult environment in the past and failed miserably in Xiangzhou, but this year he has made up for his shortcomings through hard work and development.
"I believe that as long as the imperial court's support continues unabated, I will be able to come from behind and suppress Ye Qing, allowing him to taste the humiliation I suffered..."
Prince Qing's eyes were gleaming. He had completely forgotten the cuckold he had brought upon himself, and shifted all the blame to his opponent: "It's all your fault... If you just accept the iron fist of the imperial court, you won't be able to bear it."
There just aren’t so many things…”
"Isn't the so-called loyalty means that when the court is in trouble, you will die obediently and pay tribute to your family property?"
"Don't cause trouble to the court, don't bargain with the court, why don't you understand?"
"But it's okay. I named the new city Xinfeng just to remember the lessons of Fengliang City. Brother Youxin maintains support through this county's springboard, and the court supplies materials... Ye Qing, you have Xinluo, and I have Xinluo.
Feng, we must finally have a battle to determine the success or failure of this continent..."
Just as I was thinking about it, a magician ran up from below the city and said urgently: "Report - Xinjun Wang urgently summoned me. It was decided by the imperial court and the Han Dynasty to negotiate and transfer Fengliang City to the Han Dynasty three days ago."
The Prince of Qing County was dumbfounded: "Brother Yuhuang did not suppress the peace talks in the court? What did Emperor Xin do when he ceded Fengliang County?"
The magician said nonchalantly: "The newspaper said that the peace talks were promoted by His Royal Highness Prince Yu, and that the cession of Fengliang County was presided over by Prince Xin."
Prince Qing was silent for a long time before digesting the shock. He was still unhappy when he returned home. Ning Juan asked him a few questions during dinner, but was ignored and did not say anything. She went back to the water house on the Muping River to spend the night.
Dongzhou·Qingganling
Xinluo City, Guogong Mansion, not far to the southwest of Qinggan Peak
Yellow leaves were falling all over the yard outside the window, and the late autumn air was a bit cold to breathe. This land is about to usher in the cold time covered with snow, and the year of Dongzhou Raiders is coming to an end.
As soon as Ye Qing's true consciousness came here, he found that his clone was listening to the discussion of the ministers - another winter defense counterattack was being closely prepared.
"The coastal naval expedition a month ago went smoothly, but it was not as fast as the winter counterattack... In the past three or four years, the lord has still suppressed the speed of territorial expansion and focused on promoting the connection of trains between territories and harvesting raw materials. and commodity dumping markets.”
Cao Cao introduced, and then changed his tone: "Due to the exchange house and the hunter system, constant wars have in turn accelerated the integration of the major immortal sects into the Han Kingdom. This has both losses and gains."
Everyone also expressed their admiration: "While some of the enemies have not been eliminated, this external environment, while there are still external interests to carve up, and the contradictions between the Youth League camp are not obvious, it can be used appropriately."
Ye Qing smiled and said nothing. He knew that he was playing steadily and steadily because he had made the decision before his clone was not around to ensure the safety of the progress of Qianqian Xianyuan's condensation.
These three or four years were basically training for the Han people who came over. The generals were mainly focused on attacking enemy states and defending their own territory, while the civilian officials were mainly focused on building railways, removing tariffs, unifying the Xunpan network, integrating economic circles, and forming a close economy. Interest groups pave the way for comprehensive military and political merger and unification.
Governing a big country is like cooking small dishes. The country is an enlarged extension of the family. It maintains a safe boundary externally and has conflicts and interests internally. For a family, this kind of mingling is like trying to get along with a boyfriend or girlfriend before marriage. There is honeymoon love but also trivial matters. It is also a process of luck running into each other, paving the way for marriage and starting a family in the future.
Ye Qing still remembers that in the west of the earth, there were many German states, large and small. On the basis of the national identity of language and culture, under the pressure of enemies from all sides, they used railways and customs unions to integrate the economic circle and eventually merge into a unified country. Similar to the internal and external circumstances and early industrial conditions, this successful exploration and development experience can be learned from.
In fact, it was also very successful. After the Han Kingdom was granted the Heavenly Seal in the first half of the year, the various immortal sects of the Qing League in the Dongzhou territory had been politically integrated into the Han Kingdom system. The islands on the sea still maintained their autonomy, and the scattered islands scattered all over the country were autonomous more efficiently.
By now, in the late autumn of the 18th year of Dacai Pingjing, which is the autumn of the fourth year of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the railway has been laid to the northernmost and easternmost ends of the mainland. In the spring, summer and autumn, it has overcome the obstacles of savages, wild beasts, and dense forest miasma. Every year, the national wilderness system is enriched. With new blood and fierce expansion, the military power of the Han Dynasty has radiated to the entire continent. It has occupied nearly five states. The actual area of the entire Dongzhou is only equivalent to six or seven states - the seventh state is in the easternmost state. The coast was very small when it was first established in the past ten years.
This can be said to occupy most of its territory, leaving only a small area of the southern seaside. Because Cai Chao interfered, he deliberately left a wide buffer zone without alerting the other party. However, the railway was being laid to the south, and it could be set off at any time only when it was laid.
"...our country's frontal enemies are only a large city-state alliance in the east, a large city-state alliance as a buffer zone between the central and southern parts and the Cai Dynasty, and the Cai Dynasty colonial point in the south by the sea, which is now the Qing Dynasty. The people we brought are organizing the development." Guan Yu introduced the overall situation of the enemy's forces.
Prince Qing...
Ye Qing's eyes flashed, remembering what happened when he just bumped into Qingluan in Yingzhou: "Wait... Is it true that I failed to foresee the crisis?"
"If the crisis comes from Qianqian's immortal body, which is two levels higher, it will naturally suppress me and form a mist of destiny. I won't even think about it...
"On the contrary, Qianqian seems to have a special avatar, allowing her to make a wise choice and run down to clean up the beginning and end of the Forgotten Land."
