In the Kingdom of Langya, in the imperial palace, Yan Zhen, the governor of Sishui Port, and Ma Jianliang, the naval commander of Sishui Port, stood side by side in the center of the court hall.
The eyes around the two of them were full of suspicion and ridicule. You are really good. One navy, more than 30 ships, were taken away by one ship, and more than 20 Nascent Soul stages were lost!
How much influence does the Nascent Soul stage mean?
Only ten Qi Refining Stages can produce one Foundation Establishment Stage; two hundred Foundation Establishment Stages can produce one Golden Elixir Stage; only one hundred Golden Elixir Stages can produce one Nascent Soul Stage. One Nascent Soul Stage is equivalent to at least 200,000 Qi Refining Stages!
Moreover, the Yuanying stage has a long life span, and its value is far beyond that of 200,000 ordinary people.
Now that they have lost more than twenty people in one breath, even the Langya Kingdom feels a little heartbroken; they have been at war with the Canglan Kingdom for so long, and their losses are only this amount.
The Emperor of Langya Kingdom looked at the two of them, his face turned pale with anger, but he finally said nothing. Speaking of which, he asked for the attack this time, and it was irresponsible to blindly attack in the face of an enemy who didn't know the reason.
The Emperor breathed for a while before temporarily suppressing his anger, "Yan Zhen, Ma Jianliang, deduct half a year's salary as a warning. I will give you two a mission, no matter what means you use, to obtain information about the Kingdom of Qixia!"
"Yes!" The two of them responded quickly.
"Huh!" The Emperor snorted coldly, but then turned to Taoist Priest Mingquan. As Taoist Priest Dingshan's disciple and Ma Jianliang's master, Taoist Mingquan is also the link between Langya Kingdom and the Xiaoyao Sect.
Looking at Taoist Master Mingquan, the Emperor spoke in a bad tone: "Taoist Master Mingquan, is this the barbaric country you call a barbaric country with little fighting power? Yes, it is really barbaric. It has killed three gods in succession. This
They singled out one of our naval forces again. Singled out, one person picked a group!"
Taoist Master Mingquan's expression was a bit nonchalant, and he hesitated before replying: "Your Majesty, this time it was our information error. We will definitely compensate for your country's losses. Please allow me to resign and report the situation to the Xiaoyao Sect."
"Okay!" The emperor nodded, but his expression was still ugly. This time, not only did he lose his strength, but he also lost his person! The humiliation was so humiliating that it was seen internationally by many merchant ships from far away!
After Taoist Master Mingquan left, the emperor shifted his gaze and said, "Governor of Maritime Affairs!"
"I'm here!" Maritime Governor Lin Qian stepped forward.
"Rebuild the First Navy. Yan Zhen and Ma Jianliang, you can handle it as you please!"
"yes!"
Yan Zhen and Ma Jianliang looked at each other and breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that they would not go all the way. The Maritime Governor belonged to his own people and was his immediate superior. The most he could do was give him a scolding. It seems that there were many reasons for this failure.
Yes, Yan Zhen and Ma Jianliang are certainly responsible, but the Xiaoyao Sect and the emperor also have a lot of responsibilities.
And thanks to the fact that this time Zhang Hao did not bombard ordinary people, warehouse goods, etc., but only attacked the Surabaya Port Governor's Office, the army and other locations, so the impact was limited.
…………
The battleship Zhiyuan roared slightly, pushing through the waves and heading west.
Zhang Hao stood at the bow of the ship, his head slightly raised, but he had indescribable pride in his heart. The transaction in these two days was of extraordinary significance. Because of this transaction, he broke through the daunting green sea of death and realized the kingdom of Qixia
independent foreign trade.
This was the first trade across the open sea in human history, and the open sea journey was a full 8,000 kilometers.
It was a triumph of courageous exploration.
And the greater significance is that from this moment on, Qixia Country, a country that was once remote, lonely and guarding the Green Sea of Death, on the edge of civilization, has been connected with the world-famous trade network.
From this moment on, the country of Qixia will become the most western and the brightest pearl in the pan-civilized world trade network.
The only country that trades across the open sea!
Not only that, with this success, Zhang Hao's eyes also turned to the vast outer sea. Compared with the inland sea, the outer sea is wider. And Zhang Hao's eyes turned to the more distant world. Is there another continent in this world?
?
Zhang Hao believes that this world is definitely more than just this piece of land. The world beyond the land will definitely be more exciting.
Next to Zhang Hao, there were Leng Qingsong, Hua An, Leng Feng, etc. They all lined up along the railings, looking at the sea ahead with their heads stretched out.
Zhang Hao looked at the sea and felt a little emotional. There were quite a lot of twists and turns during this voyage; but he finally returned successfully and brought a boatload of distinguished guests with him.
But Leng Qingsong, Hua An, Leng Feng and others were just watching the fun.
At this time, the battleship has passed the Black Scale Island and completely entered the Green Sea of Death. At this time, it is obvious that there are marine monsters running across the sea. Occasionally, various marine monsters poke their heads out of the sea. The curious ones
Looking at the battleship, these ocean monsters were very honest and did not attack at this time.
The battle a few days ago obviously left a deep impression on the ocean monster.
After watching for a while, Zhang Hao determined that there was no danger, so he looked at the people around him. These people can be roughly divided into three groups. For example, Leng Qingsong and his Seven Star Trading Company, whose products mainly include pills.
medicinal materials.
There is also Leng Feng, who has the same surname but is not related to him. This guy is a ranger, the kind who can't sit still, looking for opportunities and running around. Leng Feng came here with Hua An.
Hua'an is also the young master of a trading company. The name of the trading company is very distinctive, "Contradiction Trading Company." This trading company mainly deals in magic weapons, talismans, seals, formations, etc.
But it was obvious that Hua An was stunned when he saw the Zhiyuan battleship. All the indestructible spears, indestructible shields, all-encompassing formations, etc., completely lost their luster in front of the Zhiyuan battleship.
In fact, Contradiction Trading Company mainly deals in magic weapons, etc., but it also sells some elixirs and some medicinal materials.
The Kingdom of Qixia needs elixirs, but it also needs some medicinal materials. It also has transactions with Contradiction Trading Company, and the transaction volume is quite large.
Some interesting situations occurred at the end of the transaction, because Zhang Hao only needed medicinal materials, elixirs, etc., but not magic weapons, etc., so there were some transactions within these trading houses from the East.
It seems that the relationship between the trading houses from the East is not just competition, but also cooperation.
Zhang Hao looked at everyone thoughtfully, scanning them one by one, recalling every detail of the past few days. This time, there were more than 30 trading firms and more than 100 representatives following the battleship to the Kingdom of Qixia.
.
Then a strange scene appeared: Zhang Hao was looking at everyone, but everyone was looking at the sea.
You are looking at the scenery, but others are looking at you.
After a while, Lengfeng suddenly turned his head and met Zhang Hao's eyes, "Master Zhang, there are a lot of things in this sea, can you get some to try?"
Zhang Hao: ...Senior Brother Feng, you have a partner, come quickly!
After looking at the cold wind for a long time, Zhang Hao had to explain: "We have an unwritten agreement with the monsters in the Green Sea of Death. We borrow roads and do not fish or hunt. Therefore, Mr. Feng's small request may not be fulfilled."
."
"Oh..." Lengfeng responded with some regret. Looking at the food in the sea, he drooled a little at the corner of his mouth. Finally, with honor, he came to the Green Sea of Death and the open sea, but he could only look at it but not eat it...
As the Zhiyuan battleship moved forward, the color of the dead green sea gradually became darker. The outer sea was deeper than the inland sea.
There were constant surprises along the way. From time to time, some ocean monsters jumped out to provoke, but most of them just caused a little trouble for the warship. For example, making an iceberg, turning over the waves, etc., but in Zhang Hao's opinion, this was more like saying hello.
There is also a slight dissatisfaction.
Come to think of it, the noise of a giant ship is quite a lot.
But for these small provocations, the steel battleship responded by ramming them over!
Regardless of whether it was icebergs or waves, nothing could stop the collision of this heavy giant ship. Seeing such a domineering way of advancement, all the distinguished guests from the east screamed in surprise.
At first they were yelling; but one day later, they were able to shout in the accent of Qixia Kingdom: bump over, bump over!
Feng Zhiling was the most excited. This guy was a typical crazy person. He had already gotten along with everyone. At this time, he was shouting with several guys: bump over, bump over!
Ahead, an ice wall appeared. The ice wall was thick and opaque, more than ten meters high, completely blocking the direction of the Zhiyuan. There was also an octopus monster above the ice wall, a huge monster of fifty or sixty meters.
However, this octopus monster only has three tentacles; the broken parts of the other five tentacles are no longer ferocious, and have begun to grow small tentacles, but it is very strange.
Seeing his "old friend", Feng Zhiling shouted excitedly, "The octopus slices you eat belong to him! Artillery, artillery, shoot this guy down! Grill the octopus tonight!"
But this time the octopus monster learned a lesson. It raised a wall of ice, and after a provocation, it jumped back into the sea; a proud figure with teeth and claws could be vaguely seen behind the ice wall.
But Dugu Junjie was very calm: "Prepare the artillery to blow up the ice wall."
The gunners were very experienced. The artillery did not directly target the ice wall, but penetrated into the water. The shells exploded underwater, and the lethality at close range was even more powerful. When a wave of 100 mm shells went down, the sea water was blown up.
It is ten meters high, and the surface of the ice wall is also full of cracks.
But there was an octopus monster behind the ice wall, and the ice wall was quickly repaired.
But in the next moment, three 300mm artillery shells arrived. The ice wall shattered, and an octopus monster with teeth and claws was stunned in the broken ice.
The giant ship rammed straight into the octopus monster, and all its artillery was ready for a salvo.
The octopus grunted and fled to the sea, but the cannonball caught up and exploded in the sea water. The poor octopus once again dropped a tentacle more than fifty meters long, spilling countless blood.
Feng Zhiling laughed loudly, and his favorite fishing rod suddenly appeared in his hand. He fished up the tentacle, and the sailors skillfully sealed it and saved it.
There are spells, there are seals, what kind of refrigerator do you want!
This time the battle was clean and tidy. On the one hand, everyone felt the danger in the open sea, and on the other hand, they became more and more greedy for the giant steel ship. As businessmen, they certainly saw the opportunities and even challenges brought by the giant steel ship.
Liu Xinyu could see the future of the giant steel ship through simple navigation charts, and these businessmen certainly knew better. Many of them gently touched the railings, their eyes full of envy, longing, and a touch of greed.
Thinking of the price of steel, they felt that such a steel battleship should have exhausted the national power of the Qixia Kingdom!
After that, the journey was uneventful, and there were no minor provocations. Just after arriving at the corresponding sea of Qixia Kingdom, a dragon with a length of hundreds of meters and a silver tip on its head jumped out and asked Liu Dingshan for tolls.
Everyone looked very curious.
Liu Dingshan was laughed out of anger, and went to talk to King Yinjiao alone. But after a while, Liu Dingshan still threw a golden elixir to King Yinjiao. This golden elixir can be used even in the god-transformation stage, and it can be called
Rare. In this transaction, I only got 9 pieces in total.
What a Golden Pill of Crossing Ears brings is the safety of the sea outside Qixia. In the future, as long as there are ships, shipbuilding, sea trials, etc., there will be no problem. A Golden Pill of Crossing Ears brings a hundred years of peace.
Yes, tolls will no longer be collected for a hundred years. After Zhang Hao heard this result, he felt that the Silver Horn King would definitely regret becoming the Golden Horn King in the future.
After sailing for another half day, some sailors finally cheered. They saw land, and it was familiar land. Some sailors even shouted: My home is there.
After returning, before docking, the sailors started cheering; the Zhiyuan battleship also began to slow down. After more than an hour, a tall tower with colorful lights was seen on the sea.
"It's a lighthouse! Huang Mingshan and others actually built it in the past few days!" Zhang Hao's eyes flashed with surprise.
When the ship docks, it is not easy to control the direction. It needs to be adjusted in advance. The role of the lighthouse cannot be ignored. However, the lighthouse has not been completed when we set off. I don't want it to be built now.
"It's almost nine days to go to sea." Dugu Junjie came to the bow of the ship and stood next to Zhang Hao with a smile and emotion.
It is really emotional. Who would have thought that I would have such a day, command the first steel battleship in history, cross the Green Sea of Death for the first time, open up the life route of Qixia Country, and connect Qixia Country with the civilized world.
This is history!
In the midst of emotion, Dugu Junjie ordered people to fire cannons into the sky.
…………
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, the steel battleship Zhiyuan is back!" Hu Yinglan shouted and ran towards a luxurious tent, which was set up not far from the sea. In front of the tent, a phoenix flag fluttered in the wind.
Liu Xinyu has been waiting at the beach until now.
Hearing Hu Yinglan's call, Liu Xinyu was stunned for a moment, then dropped the document in his hand and walked out quickly. Following Hu Yinglan's fingers, he could see a faint light flickering in the sky in the distance. The distance was a bit far, so the sound may not have been transmitted.
, or maybe it couldn’t be transmitted. But the light came.
This kind of light exploding in mid-air is all too familiar to everyone.
Hu Yinglan's shout also alerted countless people. Zhang Shengde, Zhang Shengye, and even Zhang Hao's mother Li Yunxiang rushed over together with Zhou Xueyao.
Soon the seaside was filled with people. Everyone looked at the flash of light in the distance, and gradually there was a faint roar.
"It's artillery!" Liu Xinyu excitedly grabbed the long sword on her waist. After ascending the throne, the long sword was not suitable. Liu Xinyu usually hung a long sword on her waist.
Liu Xinyu's hand grasped the hilt of the sword a little hard, her knuckles were pale, and there were veins popping up on the back of her fair hand. The moment that decided the fate of Qixia Kingdom had come!
After another moment, someone screamed: "I see it, I see it!"
The corners of Liu Xinyu's eyes were a little moist. In the vast waves in the distance, there was a small black spot heading this way, just like it left.
The black spot gradually expanded, and a steel battleship gradually emerged. Through the spell that enhanced her sight, Liu Xinyu could even see many richly dressed people standing on the deck.
The waves pushed up by the giant ship washed over the coast, and the sound became louder and louder; and the silhouette of the giant ship became clearer. All the gun barrels had been lowered, but there were countless people cheering on the deck.
Liu Xinyu was extraordinary after all. She immediately turned to the foreign ministers Yan Qing and Zheng You to prepare to welcome the distinguished guests.
Regarding the issue of welcoming foreign guests, Yan Qing and Zheng You are the best at it, and they will be ready in a short time.
At this time, the giant ship had completely relied on inertia and was approaching the port. Feng Zhiling and a few others couldn't wait any longer and flew directly to the shore. Especially Feng Zhiling, this guy always screamed when he saw people, I, Feng Zhiling, am back
.
But Zhang Hao and most of the others were very calm until the ship docked. Zhang Hao held an account book in both hands and stepped off the battleship step by step, walking to Liu Xinyu who was standing at the port full of expectations.
"Your Majesty, you have fulfilled your mission. This is the list of this transaction. A total of 635 tons of elixirs."
