Two days later, Qin Wei finally arrived at Wuming Island in a big ship.
Wuming Island is named Wuming, not that it has no name, but because Zhao Gao named it Wuming.
Unnamed Island is very small, about ten miles long from east to west, and about three miles wide from north to south. The terrain is high in the south and low in the north. The south coast is a cliff. Because there are many reefs under the sea, there is basically no possibility of docking ships.
Although there are many reefs on the northern coast, there is an area of more than 300 meters with almost no reefs, so Zhao Gao and others built a dock where large ships can dock.
In the past three years, Dali has sent more than 5,000 people to Wuming Island, most of whom are members of Luowang, a small number are elite soldiers of the Navy, and a team of 300 craftsmen.
The villages on Wuming Island were built by three hundred craftsmen, and five hundred naval officers were responsible for guarding Wuming Island. Most of the members of the net were sent out by Zhao Gao to collect intelligence.
Collecting intelligence in the sea is much more difficult than on land. On land, you can go out as long as you have two legs, but in the sea, you can't go anywhere without a boat.
At present, Luowen's intelligence collection is limited to the three thousand miles of sea area around Wuming Island. Although Luowen's intelligence collection capabilities are very strong, it is difficult for them to collect secret intelligence without any foundation. They can only
Collect some explicit information.
However, this clear information is enough. What Qin Wei needs now is to have an accurate understanding of the forces around Wuming Island and then formulate follow-up plans.
After landing on Wuming Island, Qin Wei was not in a hurry to learn about the situation on Wuming Island. Instead, under Zhao Gao's arrangement, he rested on Wuming Island for two days.
Although he did nothing on the boat, nearly half a month of sailing still made him a little tired.
After resting for two days, Qin Wei called Zhao Gao to his residence.
His residence is a fairly exquisite courtyard. The Unnamed Island lacks supplies, but the tree resources are not bad. It is enough to build a more exquisite courtyard.
The courtyard is not big, covering an area of about three acres, and it does not have too many ornate decorations. It looks extraordinarily simple, but it is still comfortable to live in.
Qin Wei didn't mind it either.
He also understood that when he first came to Qiongtian Sea Territory, it was the period of starting a business, so it was appropriate to be a little tougher.
Of course, this hardship is based on his previous state. No matter how tough it is for him, he is still the owner of Wuming Island, with more than a dozen maids and servants serving him, and two concubines, Chunhua and Qiuyue.
There is no shortage of living materials. Naturally, it cannot be called hardship.
In the bright hall, Zhao Gao and Yuan Tiangang stood respectfully in front of Qin Wei, talking about the forces surrounding Wuming Island.
Although they often delivered information back to Dali before, the route was far away and it was inconvenient to deliver information. Qin Wei's specific understanding was very general.
Now that the two of them are telling it in person, it will naturally be much more detailed.
The Wuming Island is located at the junction of the Yuluo Sea and the Spiritual Sea. It is a relatively remote island. Although there are some islands within 500 miles around, there are basically no powerful forces.
The closest forces to the Wuming Island are the Luofu Dynasty and Jianxin Island. They are one in the south and one in the north. They are almost a thousand miles away from the Wuming Island.
To the north, beyond Jianxin Island, there are still some powerful forces, such as Qianshan Island, Luolan Island, Yuehai Island, etc.
To the south is the sea area of the Luofu Dynasty. The Luofu Dynasty is an archipelago country, and its main territory is the Luofu Islands. In terms of land area alone, the Luofu Dynasty probably covers the three states of Dali, and it is not a huge dynasty.
However, its strength is very extraordinary. According to the information collected by Luo Wang, the Luofu Dynasty has at least eighteen strong men in the Silent Light Realm. This is only the information on the surface. Whether the Luofu Dynasty still has hidden power, Luo Wang cannot be sure for the time being.
"If we go to the Luofu Dynasty, will there be any problems?" Qin Wei asked.
Zhao Gaodao: "It's not a big problem. There are thirteen ports open to the public in the Luofu Dynasty. As long as we pretend to be maritime merchants, we can enter the ports. However, if we want to go deep into the Luofu Dynasty, we will need to spend some effort."
Qin Wei thoughtfully picked up the tea, took a sip, and said, "Then what are your plans?"
It has been nearly three years since Zhao Gao and Yuan Tiangang came here, and Qin Wei didn't believe that they didn't have a specific plan.
A strange color flashed in Zhao Gao's narrow eyes, and he said: "We want to overthrow the imperial power of the Luofu Dynasty and build a new Dali here!"
Qin Wei raised his eyebrows, raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and said with a smile: "Tell me in detail."
Zhao Gao shook his head slightly and said: "There are no specific plans yet. At present, most of the members of Luowang have entered the Luofu Dynasty. We still need more information and more resources."
Overthrowing a dynasty is not as simple as talking about it.
In particular, the Luofu Dynasty was more powerful than Dali.
The Luofu Dynasty cannot be overthrown simply by the power of the net.
Without strength, everything is empty talk.
However, Qin Wei did not think that Zhao Gao had no plan. Perhaps his plan was not perfect yet, or he had not found the right time yet.
"What are the national conditions of the Luofu Dynasty?" Qin Wei asked.
"It's very messy!" Zhao Gao said with a faint smile on his lips.
"How chaotic is it?" Qin Wei said.
"Rebellions are everywhere and victims are everywhere!" Zhao Gao said.
Qin Wei raised his eyebrows, "It's such a mess!"
"If there is no chaos, how could we have a chance?" Zhao Gao said.
Qin Wei nodded slightly, this is indeed a good thing.
There are only two ways to overthrow a dynasty. One is to directly overthrow the dynasty with powerful force. As long as the power is strong enough, the dynasty can be changed.
The second method is to disintegrate the imperial power from within the dynasty. When the imperial power and the people of the court are at odds with each other, countless people will rise up.
Of course, it is basically impossible for ordinary people to succeed in rebellion in this world. Without strong strength, everything is empty talk.
Ordinary people cannot succeed in their rebellion, but some ambitious careerists can succeed.
Once the world is in chaos, countless careerists will emerge and change the dynasty.
He who wins the hearts of the people wins the world.
In this world, people's hearts do not refer to ordinary people, but to cultivators.
The so-called change of dynasty is nothing more than a redistribution of interests.
In Dali, this situation is worse, but in the Qiongtian Sea Area, this situation will be even more serious.
With Dali's current strength, it is naturally impossible to directly crush the Luofu Dynasty, so Zhao Gao's plan should be to pull forces with the forces within the Luofu Dynasty.
Intimidation, inducement, conspiracy, simply put, it means to attract all the forces that can be attracted, and to attack all the forces that are unwilling to surrender.
There are many problems before him now. First, they have no foundation in the Luofu Dynasty, and they are not a force within the Luofu Dynasty. If they rashly interfere in the affairs of the Luofu Dynasty, they will probably become the target of public criticism.
Therefore, the first step is to enter the Luofu Dynasty and become a force within the Luofu Dynasty. After that, no matter what you do, you can get twice the result with half the effort.
The second is the lack of supplies. Since we need to use coercion and inducement, we cannot do it without money.
Sea trade in the Qiongtian Sea Area is extremely developed, and almost all forces engage in sea trade. If they, Dali, want to gain a foothold in the Qiongtian Sea Area, they must find a way to make money.
When it comes to gold, silver and money, Qin Wei naturally has no shortage of money, and the Dali Dynasty has enough money.
However, in Qiongtian Sea Area, gold and silver money is only the base currency. It is okay to buy some ordinary resources. If you want to exchange for high-level resources, you must either exchange things for things or use spiritual stones as currency.
For powerful forces, spiritual stones are money.
Of course, this does not mean that gold and silver are not important, it is just not as important as spiritual stones.
Quantitative changes can lead to qualitative changes. When the quantity of gold and silver is large enough, spiritual stones can also be exchanged for them through constant transactions.
However, gold and silver cannot be directly exchanged for spiritual stones. Spiritual stones are scarce and gold and silver are just common objects. No one is stupid enough to exchange spiritual stones for gold and silver.
At the moment, Qin Wei has no way to earn spirit stones here, but it is still possible to earn some gold and silver. After all, Dali is still in the development stage, and there are still many places to spend money, so it is better not to divert it as much as possible.
After thinking about this clearly, Qin Wei said: "Get ready, let's go to the Luofu Dynasty first and find something to do."
"Here!" Zhao Gao and Yuan Tiangang responded.
Early the next morning, Qin Wei left Wuming Island by boat.
This time he did not take his own ship, but took an ordinary warship. His ship was too conspicuous.
Dressing lightly and simply, Qin Wei only brought Xiao Shunzi and Ye Gucheng with him, while the others stayed on Wuming Island. Even Zhao Gao and Yuan Tiangang did not follow him.
There are many things to do with the net. If Qin Wei had not come in person this time, neither Zhao Gao nor Yuan Tiangang would have returned to Wuming Island.
The person responsible for leading the way for Qin Wei and the others was a thin old man named Li Zheng.
Li Zheng is just a pseudonym. The members of Luowang do not have names. When they need to go on a mission, they will choose their own names.
This Li Zheng and Qin Wei have met him several times. He was one of the first people to join the trap. Now he has innate cultivation, he is calm and seasoned, and he is considered one of Zhao Gao's capable generals.
Li Zheng had visited the Luofu Dynasty many times before and had a deep understanding of the Luofu Dynasty.
Starting from Wuming Island, they entered the waters of the Luofu Dynasty on the third day, but if they wanted to reach the port opened by the Luofu Dynasty, they still had to detour about two hundred miles.
So at dusk on the third day, they arrived at Fushan Port in the north of the Luofu Dynasty.
When Qin Wei stood on the deck and looked at Fushan Port, he was stunned.
vessel!
Densely packed ships.
All kinds of ships were lined up on the coast, and Qin Wei could not see the end of them at a glance.
So many ships!
Qin Wei was extremely shocked.
Dali also has a port, and the port in Linhai Prefecture is the largest port in Dali. However, the port in Linhai Prefecture is not even remotely inferior to the Fushan Port of the Luofu Dynasty.
What's more important is that there were more than ten such ports in the Luofu Dynasty.
However, after careful consideration, it seems normal. The territory of the Luofu Dynasty was mainly islands. Whether it was internal or external communication, it had to be through ships. It is reasonable for its navigation industry to be developed.
Just as Qin Wei's ship entered the port area, two small boats sailed out of the port. Someone on the small boat waved a red flag and directed them to enter the port.
After a while, the ship docked in the port. After Li Zheng negotiated with some people, Qin Wei finally set foot on the Luofu Dynasty.
It is lively and prosperous here, but beneath the prosperity there is a kind of decay.
The port was obviously very prosperous, but it was filled with a large number of ordinary people in ragged clothes.
These people should all be coolies. They earn a meager salary by carrying goods. From the surface, you can tell that their lives are not good.
Among the coolies, there are also many pedestrians dressed in rich and noble clothes. Such people are in the minority, and they should all be businessmen or people with status.
With just one glance, Qin Wei saw the huge gap between rich and poor and class restrictions.
As an emperor, Qin Wei has been trying to eliminate this situation within Dali and try his best to ensure that ordinary people can have enough food, clothing and warmth, and have the opportunity to rise.
Although there are still many poor people in Dali, it is much better than the Luofu Dynasty.
"This is Fushan Mansion. There are not many rioters in Fushan Mansion. It is a relatively stable place in the Luofu Dynasty." Li Zheng seemed to have noticed Qin Wei's thoughts and explained in a low voice.
Qin Wei nodded calmly and said, "Let's find a place to live first."
