The sky was gloomy and it was raining. Raindrops as big as soybeans made the floor crackle.
In the continuous spring rain, the fleet still covered the sky of Xinluo City and moved towards the large open space at the foot of Qinggan Peak.
The arrival of the last transport fleet means that more than 90% of the ordinary Han people in Yingxiang and Junzhou counties have all moved to Donghuang.
Not only that, most of Ying Xiang's skilled workers have also arrived here. With the machinery on board, they are sure to soon mine mines in the seven states of the Eastern Barren and establish workshops to refine metals.
The spacious apron was patrolled by soldiers and magicians. Zeng Muzhi was wearing a small crown, a wide-sleeved shirt, high-toothed wooden clogs, and holding an umbrella. His eyes were wandering back and forth among the people leaving the ship, showing tension and urgency.
The assimilation system of the country and the countryside is in desperate need of the cornerstone of the Han people. In the past year since he came here, he has grown to the position of county magistrate. He is a serious official and a bachelor. It is indispensable to introduce him to women, many of whom are beautiful and talented. He is a beautiful girl of all races, but she has no thoughts when her heart belongs to someone. It can even be said that if he doesn't see her for a day, he misses her even more...
"She should have come up a year ago..." Zeng Muzhi thought to himself. Last winter, he inquired about the roster of the expeditionary force formed by Ying Xiang on the spot, and found his sweetheart's name. However, the strict mainland blockade policy prevented the two of them from doing so. We haven't been able to contact each other for a year. Fortunately, His Majesty quickly pacified the Eastern Wasteland, and everything should be able to continue.
But as the flow of people leaving the ship gradually thinned out, and no more people appeared at the port door, the young man looked lost. The raindrops fell on his umbrella, and the pattering of rain matched his gloomy mood. This was the last batch of immigrants... Could it be that the expeditionary force was too wary? It’s so intense, the half-makeup senior sister is already... No, no, I can’t
"Which beauty are you waiting for? I admire her."
Someone suddenly spoke behind him. It was a dreamy voice and a familiar breath. Zeng Muzhi's neck stiffened and he turned his head, looking at the smiling girl, a little stupidly: "Half makeup...senior sister?"
"You still call me senior sister?"
Qiao Banzhuang looked slightly annoyed and stared at the other person's bright eyes. The result of a year-long separation has brought some strangeness between the lovers. At this time, the best way to dilute this is not words, but actions. She just said: "follow me--"
When they arrived at the rain shelter, Zeng Muzhi threw the umbrella to one side. The two almost melted each other when their eyes met. Finally, the girl was soft and angry: "Idiot, call me again and see."
"half makeup"
No matter how dumb he was, Zeng Muzhi realized what he was doing. Joy surged into his heart, and he suddenly hugged the girl tightly: "By the way, I didn't miss anyone just now, that is to say, you didn't come with this fleet... came ahead of time?"
"Well, I will go to southern Xinjiang in the spring to guard the newly conquered area. I have just been transferred back to take a rest. I can only stay here for three days..." The girl breathed in the man's warm breath. She said this with some regrets and her eyes were sly. Turn: "But I heard from my aunt that His Majesty is going to lift the mainland blockade policy, and we can communicate with each other regularly from now on."
"Then why don't I marry you..."
The young man whispered honestly, his heart beating fiercely. He had been waiting for a long time to say this, and his fingers stroked her long hair: "That way, we can apply for transfer together... Uh, I mean, anyway, you and I I have no relatives on earth, and will no longer be troubled by my family background... I will regret it if I don't tell you this time...
The girl listened to his heartbeat, closed her eyes, and said, "Okay, if you don't hate me."
Zeng Muzhi thought for a while and said: "Actually, I still like to call Senior Sister Banzhuang... Those are the memories of our last three months in our hometown in Han Dynasty. Seeing Senior Sister reminds me of the taste of my hometown..."
"Bad guy..."
The rain is pouring down, no longer cold and lonely, happiness and expectation are in this land of hope, the reunion of boys and girls, everything is as fresh as the beginning.
... In the 20th year of Pingjing of Da Cai and the fifth year of Yihan, the war between China and Turkey was still going on, but the sea in the east had a new kind of scenery.
Since the early summer, the seven Qingmai powerful states on the coast of the Old World - Qingzhou, Jiangzhou, Ezhou, Sangzhou, Duzhou, Jizhou and Tangzhou - have all welcomed visits from the New World across the sea. Stimulated by this good news, the people
Economic and trade exchanges have become more frequent.
"Sail--Southeast wind...sail..."
At this moment, the sun is shining warmly on the sea surface at noon. Dots of white sails emerge from the bay in the north of the peninsula. Fully loaded cargo planes and sailboats are mixed with traditional sailboats to form a commercial fleet. They move against the wind amidst the shouts of sailors, slowly enter the ocean current, and then follow the current.
Speeding up, the fleet sailed straight to the depths of the eastern ocean.
This northern route starts from Qingzhou City, passes through Nhazhou Island to rest and change food and water, and then reaches the northern port of the New World in a few days, which takes only ten days.
Compared with the long southern route starting from Ziyingzhou and detouring through Banshan Island to the south of the New World, the northern route starting from Qingzhou has a short distance and the fastest speed. However, the wind is high and the waves are strong, and the risk of capsizing due to numerous sea monsters is too great. It was not a private ship in the past.
The best choice for fleet trade, only strong warships dare to take shortcuts and take this route.
But in recent years, this icy sea has welcomed two dragon girls. They have become the new generation of pioneers of the Dragon Palace. They galloped across this ocean and defeated some of the most notorious sea monsters. They refused to obey orders and gradually stabilized in a few years.
The rough seas made this route gradually attract private trade fleets, and also made Qingzhou, one end of the route, more prosperous... This kind of interest may be one of the reasons why it attracted the Han Dynasty envoys to visit in the first place.
The nine-point starlight shuttles between the clouds, crossing the azure East China Sea, gradually approaching the coastline of the Old World, with a peninsula-shaped arc protruding from the edge. By comparing it with the map, it can be judged that it is Qingzhou, which faces Stuning Port across the North Sea.
.
The King of Han and his entourage were sent on an envoy consisting of nine flying ships. The King of Han personally came forward, and the fairy ships became the vehicles. This scene was unprecedented in the human world, and the official explanation of the Han Dynasty was to show that it valued its allies... As for the
Whether it contains the element of showing off muscles depends on the personal understanding of the states and allies.
The first stop is crucial so as not to damage the atmosphere of friendly cooperation in the past. The Han ministers chose Qingzhou after careful consideration.
It is worth mentioning that this Qingzhou is not a new state divided by the Eastern Wasteland, but the strongest traditional border state among the border states in the East China Sea of the Middle-earth Continent, which has a leading effect.
Moreover, the visit to old and new Qingzhou is also a good story.
When Cai and Han negotiated peace for the first time, Ye Qing needed a temporary transfer station along the coast. Cai Chao cleverly took several coastal states that were not in his hands and asked Ye Qing to choose. Qingzhou is one of these states with traditional Mude power.
However, Ye Qing chose to rent the traditional Yingzhou of the Cai Dynasty for fifteen years. The imperial court suddenly became dark-faced, and the subsequent failure of the peace talks had something to do with this.
This has to mention a legendary figure on the coast of the East China Sea, Sun Ke, pirate Sun Ke and Qinghou Sun Ke.
The former is a derogatory name given to him by his enemies, and the latter is his current status.
He was born in a family of immortal cultivators whose ancestors were bankrupt. When he was at his lowest point, he worked as a maritime merchant and sometimes a part-time pirate, but it didn't last long. In the past five years, he trained a group of talents and changed his development direction, focusing on the savage islands on the sea.
Attack and develop, engage in the trade of foreign human beings, and gradually launder the pirates by relying on the money from human traffickers.
If this kind of inertia continues, it may not be surprising that a new cultivating family will be born if the island is occupied.
But the great catastrophe changed the fate of everyone in the world. In the chaos, reckless heroes often emerged. Even the future emperor of common people, Qingmu Sect and Banshan Island took a fancy to this young maritime merchant leader. Each family has a beautiful girl.
The Yin Goddess nun married him as his wife.
A good story about the husband singing and the wife following him made the beginning of Sun Ke's rise in Qingzhou. When he was fighting for the dragon in the dark side of Qingzhou, he "missed" and killed the governor of Qingzhou appointed by the Cai Dynasty. In less than three years on the ground, he became the Marquis of Qingzhou. In turn,
Fund the expansion of the East China Sea Immortal Sect in the Eastern Wasteland.
In fact, not only Qing Hou Sun Ke, Jiang Hou, and Sang Hou were also funded by the large and small immortal sects of the East China Sea Qing League, and they were inextricably linked. After the East China Sea Qing League peacefully integrated into the Han State, these relationships were inherited by the Han State.
Anyone who is hostile to the arrival of Han can only wait and see.
At this time, the atmosphere under the sky was peaceful. Few people in Qingzhou noticed the approaching starlight on the clouds, and few people considered the considerations, choices, and omens behind the high-level movements.
The nine-point starlight gradually descended in the clouds, and a towering city stood at the junction of the peninsula and the mainland. This is Qingzhou City, the seat of a state with a radius of thousands of miles and a population of tens of millions.
The fleet politely stopped outside the city, and Ye Qing got off the ship. He heard the sound of ritual music and the longing figures at the city gate in the distance. Sun Ke personally came out to greet him with his troops.
A knowledgeable person opens his eyes and sees the lingering clouds. A red cloud with a little yellow coming, and a red cloud greets him. There is green energy on top of it, which makes everyone who sees it feel very happy.
If you look closely, you can see that the King of Han is wearing a imperial robe and a golden crown on his head. His eyes are like paint. When he glances slightly, his demeanor is graceful and his personal aura is even more pure.
On the contrary, although Sun Ke was guarded by officials and had a natural red aura, his personal aura was yellow and blue. Although he was great and extraordinary, he still lacked a lot.
What's more important is that the King of Han has a green dragon circling around. Although he is in the outer area, he is still majestic.
As for Sun Ke's one-tailed green dragon, not only was he a few times smaller in stature, but his personality was also different. Although he had the same origin, he looked a little scared and his eyes were wary.
Comparing the two sides, those who are interested secretly sigh: "In terms of luck, although Sun Hou has controlled a state and frightened tens of millions of people, he should have been a young person, but he was born in a lowly position and still cannot tolerate the hearts of scholars. Therefore, Huang Qing
Alternate."
"In terms of the system, Marquis Sun was granted the title of Cai Dynasty, but his reputation was limited and he could not sing the praises of the people, so he had to achieve the status of dragon."
"In terms of cultivation, the King of Han is already an Immortal King, while Marquis Sun is still a little short of becoming an Immortal."
"The superiors and inferiors have decided."
Just as he was thinking about it, he saw Sun Ke coming forward and bowing proactively: "I have met the King of Han."
"I don't dare, I have seen the Marquis of Qingzhou." Ye Qing bowed slightly in return.
At this time, the welcome music sounded. Sun Ke still had some dignity. He waved his hand as a host and said: "This is not a place for talking. Please invite the King of Han to come in."
