Six or seven days went by in a flash.

During this period, another "court meeting" was held, and rice seeds were distributed to every common person, and according to Wang Chen's regulations, rice seeds were planted in plastic boxes needed for throwing seedlings, and in addition, he also provided fertilizers, pesticides and so on to every household free of charge.

At present, Wang Chen is basically losing money.

However, starting next year, whether it is seeds, pesticides or fertilizers, etc., Wang Chen will charge, and now he is just giving the people a "taste of sweetness", and he has enough reason to believe that once the people harvest thousands of catties of rice per acre of land, no one will be able to do without.

When the modern society was founded, the harvest of rice per mu was only 141 kilograms, but in the 98th year, it was already possible to harvest 450 kilograms per mu.

Wang Chen bought super hybrid rice, and when he tested it in the experimental field, it was said that the yield was 900 kilograms per mu, of course, the real sowing would definitely not reach this number, and he estimated that 500 kilograms would be no problem.

With 500 kilograms per mu, according to the arable land of the Chinese Empire today, it is not a problem to feed 15 million people, you must know that the Chinese Empire is only 4 or 5 million people today, that is, it only takes one year for Wang Chen to make the Chinese Empire one of the richest countries in the surrounding area - at least in terms of grain production.

This morning, Wang Chen had just finished exercising and was washing his face.

Xiao Feng and Xiao Jianhua hurriedly ran from outside.

"My lord. ”

"Great President. ”

The two greeted each other one after the other.

Wang Chen wiped his face, handed the towel to the maid, looked over with a smile and said, "What's wrong?"

Xiao Feng said with a solemn face: "Zhang Qing came with news, there was a conflict between my country and Dali border, two soldiers were killed and more than a dozen were injured, and the same is true for the Chan State border, three soldiers were killed and more than 20 people were injured, fortunately, the dead were all miscellaneous soldiers, all of whom had surrendered to the Bagan Kingdom before, but the official soldiers were also injured seven or eight, all of them were slightly injured." ”

Xiao Jianhua laughed, and said with a cold light in his eyes: "My lord, the two countries refuse to pay tribute to us, and this time we have killed our people, we can teach us a lesson." ”

Wang Chen narrowed his eyes, "Bury the dead, seal the martyrs, the state supports the families, and the injured are also rewarded for their good lives, in addition, Mr. Xiao, gather the chariot troops, I will personally lead the team to slaughter the soldiers on the border between Dali and Chanbang, and deter Xiaoxiao!"

"Okay!" Xiao Jianhua agreed, and immediately went to gather the chariot troops.

Xiao Jianhua didn't say some words, but Wang Chen analyzed and understood that the previous events such as hunting and straying into the water were obviously a temptation, and this time killing people was not just a temptation, but the last temptation before the war.

If there is no reaction from Wang Chen's side.

Dali and Chan immediately knew that Wang Chen's military strength was insufficient.

It is also true that Wang Chen's military strength is insufficient, after all, the official army only has 10,000 township soldiers he brought from Jinghai, and these township soldiers have to defend various cities, and they can't take any time to attack other places.

If according to the previous military strength, Wang Chen can really only be passively beaten and defended, of course, with rifles, heavy machine guns, etc., there is no problem in holding the city, but in this way, it is impossible to develop national strength, and there is no time to breathe.

However, this time Chan Bang and Dali miscalculated.

They had no idea that Wang Chen had inadvertently discovered the magic of the dementor, and thus formed a chariot force that existed like an invincible in the current era.

Although there are only 32 combat vehicles, whether it is an M1 main battle tank or a self-propelled mortar, the main gun is a caliber 120mm main gun, although the main gun of the Ajax armored car is 40mm, but the body of various heavy machine guns and other configurations is very awesome, if the 32 tanks are dispatched together, it is very simple and fast to destroy 10,000 ancient soldiers.

Wang Chen didn't bother to go out with the M777 howitzer.

Thirty-two chariots were enough to deter Dali and Chan State.

……

Border.

This is the border between the Chinese Empire and the Dali Kingdom.

Wang Chen came here with the chariot troops, first visited the wounded soldiers, and then climbed to the city and took out the binoculars to observe the form.

Five kilometers away, Dali has a very good city, surrounded by mountains, if you attack according to the normal method of ancient times, I am afraid that 100,000 troops may not be able to enter within half a year.

Crucially, there is a moat.

That is to say, even if Wang Chen has a chariot army, it is unlikely that he wants to attack it, but he didn't think about attacking it at all, but wanted to deter Dali Kingdom, well, just collapse the opponent's tower.

After observing the form.

Wang Chen didn't waste any more time, and directly drove a light armored vehicle by himself, and took thirty-two chariots towards the border city of Dali.

……

The other side.

The soldiers defending the city of Dali were the same as before, patrolling the city tower in a team.

Suddenly, a soldier pointed to the distance and rubbed his eyes, "Li Qiang, what do you think is that?"

The yawning soldier next to him muttered, "What is it?" He glanced at it casually, and then the whole person was stunned, and said in a lost voice: "What kind of monster is this!?"

Someone's face changed, "It looks a bit like the rumored newly established Chinese Empire War Machine Steel Behemoth!" He hurriedly shouted, "Go and report the ......"

Before the words were finished, a loud boom came!

Then, a cannonball the size of a head slammed into the city walls, erupting with a deafening sound and a blinding glow as hot as the sun!

The artillery fire was dazzling, blocking the sight of the soldiers defending the city of Dali.

The sky was filled with the chaotic sound of pieces of iron.

In the space above the tower, many huge pieces of iron cracked and fell one after another.

Under the sky, it was as dark as when a rainstorm was coming, and the cannonballs were projecting blue in all directions.

Gray glow!

In the world that can be seen, from one end to the other, the fields are shaking, sinking, melting, and the infinite space is shaking like the sea.

East, is an extremely violent explosion!

In the south, it is bullets flying!

At the zenith, there are rows of flowering bombs, like volcanoes with no feet!

The entire border city of Dali was filled with artillery fire, and the sky was covered by rows of huge smoke and dust, as if this place had entered purgatory on earth!

"Ahh

"Help!"

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"

The first moment was terrifying.

There is nothing more pitiful than a group of terrified soldiers.

They rushed to get their weapons. They cried and ran, and many fell. The sturdy men who were attacked didn't know what they were doing, and they pushed each other to escape.

Some frightened people ran out of the house, ran into the house, ran out again, and scurried around in the middle of the battle.

A squad was shouting at each other. It was a terrible battle, and they were caught up in it without even seeing what the enemy looked like.

Whizzing cannonballs trailed long rays of light through the darkness.

Bullets radiated from every dark corner.

There was smoke and chaos everywhere.

The entanglement of the baggage carts and the gun wagons made the chaos even more confusing.

The horses also jumped in shock. People trampled on the wounded.

There was moaning everywhere underground.

These people were terrified, and those people were fainted.

Soldiers and generals search for each other.

In the midst of all this, some people hid in the corners of the city walls and shivered.

A seventeen or eighteen-year-old soldier's eyes revealed endless fear, his comrade-in-arms had a broken leg and was also leaning against the wall, bleeding and screaming with all his might, but the soldier was so frightened that he didn't pay any attention to his comrades beside him.

Some were lying on the ground, shaking with their heads in their hands.

From time to time there was a burst of loud shouting. The loud roar of the cannons drowned out everything.

The entire border city of Dali is crumbling under artillery fire!

Finally, half an hour later, the huge city tower could not withstand the fierce bombardment and collapsed, and countless soldiers were buried!

……

Seven or eight hours later.

On the other side, the capital of the Chan Kingdom.

It was just nightfall, and the king was about to pamper a concubine.

Suddenly, the Minister of War and Aircraft came rushing from outside, shouting: "Oh no! Oh no!"

The king's face changed greatly, and he hurriedly looked over and said, "What's wrong?"

The Minister of Military Aircraft almost rushed over, causing him to not stand firmly, he fell to the ground all of a sudden, raised his head and said with a frightened face: "Border emergency! The Chinese Empire raided the border with our DPRK, dozens of steel giant beasts bombarded the city, the outer city tower was blown up, and the corpses were in disarray, this attack only lasted less than half an hour, but our soldiers were killed 1,742 people, and as many as 1,873 people were wounded!"

"What!?" the king was shocked.

The Minister of Military Aircraft struggled to get up from the ground and said with a wry smile: "Your Majesty, we should not provoke the Chinese Empire, what should we do now?"

The king was already frightened and panicked, how could he still have the heart to pamper the concubine, and asked dryly: "The Chinese Empire didn't fight, did it?"

"There is no news from the front, only that they retreated after bombarding the steel behemoth for about half an hour. The Minister of Military Aircraft was puzzled: "I can't figure out what it means. ”

The king was silent for a long time, and only after a long time did he say: "Prepare 10,000 taels of gold, 50,000 catties of Mo Moliang, and prepare some silk and satin, tea, and grain...... Fifty more beauties were selected and sent to the Chinese Empire. ”

The Minister of Military Aircraft trembled and said, "You...... Are you saying that we are going to pay tribute to the Chinese Empire?"

The king smiled bitterly and said, "Otherwise, people will blast through a city in half an hour, and if they drive straight in, how long do you think our dynasty can resist?

The Minister of Military Aircraft was gloomy.

Yes, the military strength shown by the Chinese Empire today is too strong, it is completely different from what they guessed before, dozens of steel behemoths have torn through the border defense line, if they really attack Chan State, how long can they resist with forty or fifty thousand troops?

They didn't expect that it was not a wounded tiger that they provoked before, and they didn't have the opportunity to take advantage of your illness to kill you, but they woke up a giant dragon that had just fallen asleep, and now the dragon thundered and wrathed, and it was not at all something that mortal power could resist!

……

Wang Chen watched as the assault on the border of the Chan Kingdom began.

Destruction, commotion, magnificent scenes of fire, flickering blue-and-white searchlights, the dense roar of bomber motors, the thumping of anti-aircraft guns that had just begun......

New flames sprang up on the riverbank, spreading in all directions, burning more and more.

In the distance, a large black river spat out more tongues of fire.

But much of the city was dark and silent.

A convoy of elephants crashed from the smoke-filled air, burning like a candle, two intersecting searchlights holding it in.

Immediately, two elephant chariots collapsed, one fell straight down with a ball of fire like a dead star, and the other went around in a circle, and black smoke swirled, and finally exploded in the ground like a string of firecrackers in the distance.

The bombardment is nearing its end.

Wang Chen shouted into the walkie-talkie: "Close!"

"Yes!"

"Close!"

The response of the tank troops came one after another from the walkie-talkie, and the thirty-two tanks stopped the artillery fire and began to retreat with a "click" tracks like a deathly sound.

However, they did not see half of the border soldiers of the Chan Kingdom chasing them out, they were frightened, in just an hour of bombardment, almost a quarter of the eight thousand soldiers were killed and a quarter wounded, and the remaining half of the soldiers were frightened when they looked at the billowing smoke, standing in the distance and trembling, not daring to move at all!

……

The next day, the sun rose in the east.

In the ancient city of Mandalay, Wang Chen, who was still asleep, was woken up by someone sent by Xiao Jianhua, saying that the Dali Kingdom and the Chan Kingdom had urgently sent an envoy to seek peace for 800 miles.

Oh?

Someone was sent to sue for peace so soon?

Wang Chen, who was still a little sleepy, woke up instantly, he asked people to go out first, he freshened up without hurrying, and then finished breakfast slowly, and then walked towards the reception hall.

Reception Hall.

When he rushed over, Wang Chen only saw two special envoys who were disgraced because they were in a hurry overnight, and they were stammering around Xiao Jianhua and saying good things.

"Great President. Xiao Jianhua saw Wang Chen stepping into the threshold and immediately shouted.

After interpreting the words, the two envoys hurriedly turned around and knelt down, and one of them shouted.

"Yun Zheng, the envoy of Dali, has seen the president. ”

"The messenger of the Zen state, Amosi, has seen the great president. ”

Wang Chen didn't even look at them, walked straight to the Taishi chair and sat down, picked up the teacup and took a sip, and said to Xiao Jianhua: "What do they say?"

Xiao Jianhua hurriedly presented two documents, "The king of Chanbang and the emperor of Dali, Duan Sushun, sued for peace, and sent tribute items. ”

Wang Chen was quite curious: "Isn't Emperor Dali Duan Siping?"

Xiao Jianhua explained: "Duan Siping is the founding emperor of Dali, who has been dead for decades, and Duan Sushun is the grandson of Duan Siping's younger brother Duan Sicong, and is the fifth emperor of Dali. ”

I see.

Wang Chen probably sorted out the relationship between the emperors of Dali, and he looked at the envoy of Dali with great interest, "Yun Zheng." ”

Yun Zheng knelt on the ground and hurriedly said, "Great President." ”

"I heard that your country has a stunt six-vein divine sword and a yang finger, is it true?" Wang Chen asked.

Yun Zheng looked confused, "The villain has never heard of these two stunts. ”

All right.

In the end, it is a product of martial arts.

Wang Chen was a little embarrassed, where did the real six-vein divine sword and one yang finger come from in this world, he had to change the topic and said: "Duan Sushun asked you to come to ask for peace, did you come empty-handed?"

Yun Zheng hurriedly said: "Your Majesty is afraid of delaying the peace between the two countries, so he specially asked me to hurry up eight hundred miles to come first, and the tribute materials are behind, and I Dali is willing to offer 20,000 taels of gold, 50,000 catties of Dali jade, and materials worth 100,000 Song money in exchange for peace between the two countries." ”

Wang Chen looked at the envoy of the Chan Kingdom quietly, "Amosi, where are you in the Chan Kingdom?"

Amosi also knelt on the ground and said, "The king asked me to send 10,000 taels of gold, 50,000 catties of Mo Moliang and 200,000 pieces of Song money, as well as fifty beauties." ”

Wang Chen was a little dissatisfied and said: "You killed and injured my border soldiers, and you want to know about this matter with all this money and materials alone?"

You're special!

How many of your soldiers did we kill? Your sister killed one or two thousand of us and wounded one or two thousand, and said such things?

But Yun Zheng and Amosi knew that the Chinese Empire was powerful, so they could only laugh and laugh.

In the end, Wang Chen stood up and made a request: "I ask you two countries to become vassals of my Great Chinese Empire, and declare to the outside world that the emperor is called my father's emperor, just agree, if you don't promise us to meet each other!"

Yun Zheng and Amosi dared not speak angrily, but only said that they would go back to report it.

Wang Chen didn't talk nonsense with them anymore, and directly asked the two to retreat.

As soon as the people left, Xiao Jianhua laughed and said: "President, this time Dali and Chan are scared, and they have sent so many materials to solve the difficulty of our financial shortage." ”

Wang Chen also laughed, "Okay, get ready to accept these materials, the gold and jadeite will be put separately, and the rest will be filled into the treasury." ”

"Yui. Xiao Jianhua commanded.

Wang Chen stood there and smiled slightly, although this time the chariot troops bombarded a lot of shells and bullets, but in general, he made a lot of money.

Not to mention others, 20,000 taels of gold in Dali and 10,000 taels of gold in Chan State, here add up to 30,000 taels of gold, according to the Northern Song Dynasty system, 30,000 taels of gold is equivalent to more than 2,000 catties of gold in modern society, worth more than 300 million RMB.

Not to mention that there are tens of thousands of catties of jadeite.

Wang Chen was very satisfied with the gains brought by the first actual combat exercise of the tank unit, in the final analysis, it was the merit of the soul that allowed his soldiers to master the operation of the tank so quickly, well, just use the money from the two countries to pay tribute to buy some more arms, what armed helicopters, howitzers, can be added, in addition, 50,000 troops will be recruited soon, rifles, mortars and other equipment can also be added.

This money is basically equivalent to the tribute paid by the two countries.

No wonder in modern society, Lao Mei has been fighting this and that, and it is so easy to make war money together?

Wang Chen chuckled, Dali and Chan wanted to pay tribute in exchange for peace, but they didn't know that these gold and jade were used by themselves as money in exchange for arms, which was regarded as a disguised increase in their strength.

The Emperor?

Father Emperor?

Hey, buddy's Chinese Empire should be the father of Dali and Chan State, don't accept it?

Disobey them to taste the power of the chariot troops!

Wang Chen took a deep breath, now let's be stable for the time being, and when the national strength is strengthened a little more, and after the recruitment of 50,000 soldiers is well-trained, it will be his turn to show his bloody fangs and tear apart the surrounding small countries!
