But when Huang Shaoxian saw Liu Xinyu's impatient look, he immediately became anxious. He opened his mouth and shouted that Your Majesty really wanted to become an enemy of the country of Canglan. But as soon as he said this, Huang Shaoxian regretted it.
Liu Xinyu's eyes narrowed instantly: "Prime Minister Huang is serious. We are not trying to be enemies with anyone. We are just trying to clean up the internal situation of the six Western countries in the Fertile Continent. And this is the invitation of Danyang Country.
Why, don’t you want the six Western countries to unite and develop together?”
"This..." Huang Shaoxian was dumbfounded by Liu Xinyu's words. Liu Xinyu's words were a bit heart-wrenching. You don't want to see us strong, right? Come on, nod your head and try!
Wang Ruiyang, who was next to him, smiled: "Your Majesty is joking, we are not trying to interfere with the actions of the Western countries. It's just that the country of Danyang just signed an agreement with us a few months ago and submitted to our country of Canglan.
Therefore, for us in the Canglan Kingdom, there is a rebellion in the Danyang Kingdom now, and we are only dealing with the traitors in the country. Isn’t it not good for Your Majesty to intervene directly like this?"
Huang Shaoxian wiped a cold sweat secretly. He suddenly realized that his performance just now was not as good as Wang Ruiyang. Look at Wang Ruiyang's words, we are dealing with traitors.
Also, according to the established rules, since the Kingdom of Danyang has become a tributary of the Kingdom of Canglan, the Kingdom of Danyang belongs to the Kingdom of Canglan. The Kingdom of Qixia and others have no reason to intervene.
Of course, that's what I say, but the specifics depend on whose methods are clever. There are many things that should be done, but the world is centered on the winner.
Liu Xinyu's eyes narrowed slightly, with a faint glimmer of cold light. This Wang Ruiyang was indeed a profiteer, and what he said made Liu Xinyu uncomfortable. But Liu Xinyu was very tough: "I only know that the country of Danyang is our brother country in the west, and has been for thousands of years.
So. Now that brotherly countries are asking for help, we have no reason not to help!
You two, given the happy cooperation between our two countries last time, I don’t want us to meet on the battlefield. But if we do, I, the Kingdom of Qixia, will not hold back!
Now our five western countries have prepared 500,000 elites, who are about to enter the Kingdom of Danyang. We will help the Kingdom of Danyang reunify the country and establish the majesty of the royal family!
If you two have something to do, I won't keep you two. If you two have time, you are welcome to visit the current Qixia Country.
Come and see the guests off!"
After being kicked out of the hall by several guards, Wang Ruiyang said angrily, "A woman who is so strong is not afraid of not being able to find her husband's family!"
Huang Shaoxian next to him sighed leisurely: "I am the queen, as long as I have someone to marry me, there is no need to find someone from my husband's family!"
Wang Ruiyang: ...I have nothing in common with you!
Huang Shaoxian finished his emotion, but said softly: "Let's go back. The Qixia Kingdom is determined to send troops to the Danyang Kingdom. But... 500,000 elites... are there so many?"
"I guess it's nonsense!" Wang Ruiyang's expression became serious, "This business has become increasingly difficult recently. Prime Minister Huang, where do you think we should go from here?"
"I don't know!" Huang Shaoxian said with a cold face. After all, Huang Shaoxian couldn't stand what Wang Ruiyang and others have done over the years. Even if you sell it expensively, you still have adulteration. If only your business could be successful.
How strange!
Wang Ruiyang's discussion was boring, but he was not angry either. He smiled faintly, and suddenly a small, cute turtle appeared on his hand. He gently stroked the little turtle and said thoughtfully: "I heard that the prime minister
Your Huang family has also obtained black iron technology. Do you think we can cooperate in building ships?
We also build big steel ships like that!
Even if we don't have steel, we still have a lot of black iron. Using our original weapon-making advantage, plus we also have artillery technology, we may be able to open a portal from the direction of the Green Sea of Death. Then we can kill Langya from the sea.
country!"
"Hey..." Huang Shaoxian was suddenly stunned. He had never thought of this before.
Wang Ruiyang continued: "Prime Minister Huang, from what I can see, the Qixia Kingdom and other five Western countries are determined to attack the Danyang Kingdom. Especially the Qixia Kingdom, which has just opened the ocean, is a time of high spirits.
But at this time, the situation in the West is complicated and there cannot be civil war. The country of Qixia is just trying to maintain peace! Damn it!
But... forget it, this is what I think, we can't gain any advantage in head-to-head confrontation with the five Western countries now.
In the past, we fought against the West together with the Kingdom of Taihua in the north; but now we are alone, and we are still at war with the Kingdom of Langya, but we are afraid that we have more than enough ambition but not enough power.
So why not make an exchange with the Kingdom of Qixia. For example, we can withdraw our troops and give up the Kingdom of Danyang in exchange for the shipbuilding technology of the Kingdom of Qixia!"
Huang Shaoxian suddenly stopped and his eyes flickered. After a while, he nodded to Wang Ruiyang, "Yes, your proposal is very good. Let's go back."
It was already evening when Huang Shaoxian saw Liu Xinyu again. Liu Xinyu summoned Huang Shaoxian and Wang Ruiyang impatiently.
As soon as they met, Huang Shaoxian proposed an exchange request.
Liu Xinyu became interested this time. After thinking for a while, she said: "I still attach great importance to the relationship with the Country of Canglan. However, the steel ship technology of the Country of Qixia does not belong to the royal family, but to the Dayang Group; I can communicate on your behalf.
."
Huang Shaoxian and Wang Ruiyang looked at each other and nodded to each other. Liu Xinyu was the emperor after all. As long as Liu Xinyu spoke, Zhang Hao could not completely refuse.
In fact, things went more smoothly than Huang Shaoxian and Wang Ruiyang thought. Early the next morning, the two received an invitation from Dayang Group to go to the shipbuilding base to observe.
The current shipbuilding base still retains the primitive situation observed by the representatives of Dongfang Commercial Bank, and everything that could be evacuated has been evacuated. The shipbuilding progress has almost stopped in the past few days. Zhang Hao was originally prepared to wait for the representatives of Dongfang Commercial Bank to leave before continuing.
Nowadays, it doesn't matter if a few people from the country of Duocanglan observe. Moreover, there is a prerequisite for doing business that you need to let the other party understand in order to facilitate the transaction. Therefore, Zhang Hao also needs to properly display relevant information.
Fu Yun took Huang Shaoxian and Wang Ruiyang and flew directly to the Zhang family's shipbuilding base. Liu Dingshan came out to greet them and watch the shipbuilding process together.
At this time, the new giant ship is installing ribs and corresponding brackets, and this process still requires riveting. In the shipbuilding base, there is a lot of enthusiasm, sparks are everywhere, and the sound of forging is as continuous as the waves.
Wang Ruiyang only took one look, and suddenly realized that it was built this way. A wooden ship needs mortises and tenons and nails, while this steel ship needs extra-large nails with thick arms, and they have to be smashed flat.
Someone felt that he was very smart, and he felt that he had everything after just one glance. Then Wang Ruiyang looked at the ship under construction from top to bottom, saw the I-beams, and the reinforced triangle steel, and he even made an appraisal
He didn't know the purity, composition, etc. of the steel, but he didn't know how much he got.
Finally, Zhang Hao invited Fu Yun, Wang Ruiyang, and Huang Shaoxian to watch the Zhiyuan battleship anchored in the port and inspect the interior.
Fu Yun was amazed when he saw it, and he even felt reluctant to leave.
Huang Shaoxian is similar.
But Wang Ruiyang was different. He stared carefully at the inside and outside of the battleship, and finally came to the power room and looked at the engine.
Zhang Hao said directly: "This is a steam turbine. The Zhang family is also selling it to outsiders.
If Shopkeeper Wang wants to buy it, for the sake of our past cooperation, we can provide it at our domestic price. At present, Zhangjia's production capacity is limited, and it can provide one unit in the last month. It can provide six units to foreign countries in a year."
"Then I want six units!" Wang Ruiyang was very grand. In other words, as an excellent businessman, he keenly discovered the business opportunities in this, even if he didn't use it, he could resell it.
And since the Zhang family's output is limited, then he should have a rare product! Since this thing is the power core of the steel battleship, it must be very marketable. But on the other hand, since Zhang Hao dares to display it publicly, it also shows that this thing is not easy to copy.
.
Zhang Hao nodded and started talking to Wang Ruiyang on the spot. "Shopkeeper Wang, we have two production methods for steam turbines. One is that we produce according to our own standards, and the other is that customers provide requirements and we customize them. The cost of customization is higher, but
Even better.
Generally speaking, steam turbines are general-purpose power output equipment. They can be widely used in many fields such as mining, ships, and smelting. But in fact, different fields have different requirements for steam turbines.
Most of the steam turbines used in mining are heavy and heavy. What we pursue is durability.
The steam turbines used in smelting and factories will have certain size requirements to match the production line.
Marine steam turbines are the most stringent, and so far our marine steam turbines have all been customized.”
"I understand, then I want one for the boat! Just like the one in front of me!" Wang Ruiyang was very domineering and decisive.
Zhang Hao nodded, "This steam turbine is driven by spirit stones. Its internal and external structures are made of steel, and it has a dense formation. The maximum power can consume thousands of spirit stones per hour, and the continuous output is approximately equivalent to the power of the early Yuanying.
The price of such a turbine is as high as 3 million high-grade spiritual stones. If you want to customize it, you need to pay one-tenth of the deposit first, and the remaining 90% of the cost when it is delivered. In the event of breach of contract, the deposit will not be refunded.
Shopkeeper Wang, are you sure you want to reserve six units?"
Wang Ruiyang blinked and finally sneered, "Um... I've ordered one for ships and five for smelting. But the power should be as high as that of the Zhiyuan battleship."
"Yes. The price of an ordinary steam turbine is only 3,000 to 10,000 high-grade spiritual stones."
"The price gap is so big?" Wang Ruiyang didn't believe it.
Zhang Hao nodded: "Ordinary steam turbines are made of black iron; while marine steam turbines are made of steel."
Wang Ruiyang nodded in agreement.
After visiting the battleship, Wang Ruiyang discussed the steam turbine transaction with Zhang Hao. After the discussion was completed, Huang Shaoxian went to Zhang Hao to ask when the next voyage would start.
"Three days later." Zhang Hao said simply.
"Well... Master Zhang, do you think the battleship Zhiyuan can launch an attack on Qianlong Port from the sea this time? We are willing to pay a sufficient price.
And you see, there are some domestic opinions on our withdrawal from the Kingdom of Danyang. If our two countries want to continue to cooperate, we must give the domestic an explanation. Do you think so?"
This time Zhang Hao relented: "Since the Langya Kingdom dares to take the initiative to attack, it will bear the wrath of the Qixia Kingdom. This time, we will bombard the Langya Kingdom Legion in Qianlong Port. Based on the last voyage experience, we will
On the morning of the eighth day after departure, we appeared at Qianlong Port and launched a bombardment while everyone was relaxing in the morning. Be prepared. Communication at sea is inconvenient, so don't miss it.
However, you still need to apply to Her Majesty the Queen of our country for this matter. I do not have the right to declare war on another country."
Huang Shaoxian immediately smiled. Last time Zhang Hao refused directly; this time Zhang Hao agreed, so there should be no problem in applying to Liu Xinyu.
According to the information obtained by Huang Shaoxian, Liu Xinyu would not refuse many of Zhang Hao's suggestions.
The outside world is talking about the little scandal between the two, but there are noses and eyes.
Sure enough, when Huang Shaoxian hurried to Guangling City, Liu Xinyu nodded directly. Since Zhang Hao said it was okay to fight, let's fight. Then Liu Xinyu invited Huang Shaoxian out.
Now, Liu Xinyu is meeting with the princes of various countries again to discuss the strategy of sending troops to the Danyang Kingdom. The sending of troops is certain, but how to fight must be carefully discussed. And this is everyone's problem.
The Kingdom of Qixia said that they could clean up the nobles in the Kingdom of Danyang, and the Kingdom of Jinyang said it was okay; but the other three countries were firmly opposed.
After entering the country of Danyang, the country of Qixia said that it should not commit any crime. We are here to maintain peace, not to invade. Everyone generally agrees with this point; but other countries have said that helping peacekeeping is also costly, and the country of Danyang should give
A certain amount of compensation will do.
Everyone is not stupid. You, the country of Qixia, want to build an archway, but you can't let us return empty-handed!
In particular, the Kingdom of Jinyang said: The two counties we occupied will never be returned!
Liu Xinyu was still young after all, and was a little helpless when being crowded around. At this moment, she suddenly missed Zhang Hao. So far, there seemed to be no problem that Zhang Hao couldn't solve. No, even Prime Minister Zhao Duo was a little helpless at the moment.
But the Queen is the Queen after all. She finally slapped the table and said, "Forget it, let's not discuss it. Let's fight first! I believe that when we are maintaining peace, there will definitely be some unsighted people who will jump out. So these
I would like to ask everyone to clean up.
After the income is summarized, it will be distributed according to everyone’s contribution.
The Kingdom of Qixia will not participate in the distribution!"
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and then expressed their wisdom to Her Majesty the Queen.
So a group of bandits under the banner of peacekeeping rushed into the country of Danyang crazily.
What would it be like for two hundred thousand elites competing against each other to pour into the chaotic and divided country of Danyang? It's like wolves entering the grassland!
There was a wailing in the country of Danyang.
Except for Qixia Kingdom's legion Qiu Wufu, the legions of other countries can only maintain a superficial peace and treat ordinary people Qiu Wuwu, but they show no mercy to aristocratic families, etc.
Although on the surface everyone is firmly opposed to taking action against aristocratic families, this is a political direction and must be correct. However, political direction and actual interests are not equated. Slogans can be loud, and attacks can also be merciless.
Why not rob ordinary people? There is really nothing! A village may not be able to copy a foundation-building pill; but if you want to copy a big family or a big noble, that is gold and silver. Just leave ordinary people to create a peacekeeper
positive image.
The army was like a flood, attacking from three directions: west, northwest, and north. In just two days, it swept through the west of Danyang Kingdom and then spread to the east.
The major families, nobles, sects, etc. in the East panicked; they asked for help from the Kingdom of Canglan, but the 300,000 troops of the Kingdom of Canglan withdrew like a tide, and decisively sealed the pass, cutting off everyone's retreat.
Liu Xinyu, the upper echelons of the Qixia Kingdom completed the deal with the upper echelons of the Canglan Kingdom, and the Danyang Kingdom, which was in a weak position, was abandoned.
This world is very realistic, only the strong are qualified to play chess; the weak can only accept the fate of the chess pieces.
The 200,000 coalition troops did not stop at all. Families, nobles, and sects were purged wherever they passed. What, innocent? Impossible, we have evidence!
Youdao, there is nothing wrong with wanting to inflict crimes. Moreover, the royal family of Danyang Kingdom has long been disgusted with the domestic aristocratic families, etc., but at this time, they turned a blind eye. Anyway, the Kingdom of Qixia has made it clear that this time
It is peacekeeping, not aggression.
If we can take the opportunity to pull out all the cancer like the Kingdom of Jinyang and the Kingdom of Qixia, it will be beneficial to the Kingdom of Danyang in the future. Since we are scraping the bones to treat the poison, labor pains are unavoidable.
While the country of Danyang was in turmoil, Liu Xinyu had decided to tour the country. The first stop was Zhangjiahai Port to bid farewell to the battleship Zhiyuan for its second voyage.
