Next chapter

At Yi Xingchen's request, the modified suspension motorcycle soon appeared in front of him.

It's just that this time, when Yi Xingchen saw the hovercraft again, he didn't feel as satisfied as last time. The last time I saw the success of the research on the suspension motorcycle, Yi Xingchen didn't take anything else, but now is the time to evaluate the final product, and then Yi Xingchen saw that Chekov had installed a surface air cushion, and he noticed that there was still a problem that had not been dealt with, the appearance of the suspension motorcycle.

Yi Xingchen couldn't help frowning and said, "It's not cool enough, it's not dazzling enough." ”

Chekov was stunned when he heard this, he thought that His Majesty would be very satisfied with their results, but he unexpectedly received this comment from His Majesty.

In fact, it is no wonder that people from other worlds do not understand what kind of model the business society of the Blue Mercury people has developed. In Blue Mercury, sometimes, the practical value of a commodity, even if it is not the best, can still increase the value of the commodity by a large margin as long as some effort is put into the packaging of the commodity.

The difference in concept, of course, was something that Chekov could not break through at once. So, Chekov was a little overwhelmed.

Seeing Chekov's expression, Yi Xingchen came to his senses, this is not a matter of Chekov's personal ability, but because he has always ignored the difference in thinking between the two worlds, and has not mentioned more about the appearance of the hovering motorcycle.

Yi Xingchen took a closer look at the hovering motorcycle, and found that under the hovering motorcycle, Chekov and they had installed an air cushion. Yi Xingchen looked a little strange, so he asked, "Can the hovercraft be used without an air cushion?"

Chekov replied: "Oh, this air cushion can be removed, just by adding a glider so that the hovercraft can travel on the water." It's just that, in this way, its disadvantages are also very obvious, once there is no power, the hoverbike will fall into the water. ”

Chekov answered Yi Xingchen's question while stating some of their thoughts on the manufacturing process.

"So, the reason why you installed the air cushion is just to levitate the motorcycle and float on the water?" Chekov's answer surprised Yi Xingchen a little, and he thought that such a setting would have multiple uses.

"Yes. Chekov replied.

Yi Xingchen thought for a while and said, "Your thinking is right, it's just that since I need to get these hoverbikes to Blue Mercury for sale, their design and performance must meet the market needs of Blue Mercury." You may not know much about the mentality of Blue Mercury people, especially the wealthy, what they need is the best things, not only the value of the items, but also the eye-catching appearance, preferably something unique and thrill-seeking. Therefore, their requirements for the appearance and performance design of the suspension motorcycle will be much higher, and they are no longer satisfied with its actual role. ”

Chekov listened and nodded again and again, but he understood the reason, and he was still a little helpless about how to correct it. For this reason, he asked Yi Xingchen about the doubts in his heart.

But this is not something that can be said clearly in a few words, after listening to Chekov's request, Yi Xingchen thought that maybe he should adjust the design details for the hovercraft in Blue Mercury.

Thinking of this, Yi Xingchen didn't want to embarrass Chekov on this issue, so it was better to complete this new product launch conference first, as a test of the waters, so he continued: "In this way, there are only two days left, and it is too late to make any major changes, so it is better to complete the new product launch conference first and see the reaction." You have a number on each hovercar to distinguish it...... In addition, one amphibious hoverbike will be reserved and sold as a special model. ”

Chekov wrote down all the things that Yi Xingchen explained, Yi Xingchen thought about it again and again, and told Chekov again that he must ensure that there are no problems with the vehicle itself.

After the new product launch conference was explained, Yi Xingchen left the Alchemy Research Institute and returned to the palace to deal with state affairs.

Since the Xia Shu army fought with the Xinghua army but was finally defeated, it has not been able to recover for a long time, after all, this loss is not a small battle, not only the number of losses is huge, but also the newly recruited recruits are already included. Therefore, after the defeat, Yunzhou's combat potential was instantly reduced to the freezing point, and it was no longer able to organize enough combat power to compete with the Xinghua army for a while.

After this battle, Zhang Guangwu, the mighty general in the past, did not dare to fight again, and absolutely stubbornly waited for help.

The war in Yunzhou entered a phase of stalemate. But this state is what Qin Zhengguo, Zhao Chang, and Che Enren and other Xinghua people like to see.

Although the Xinghua army finally won the battle against the Yunzhou army of the Xia State, the army of the Xinghua Kingdom was not many after all, and it was not suitable for long-term warfare, and it was not suitable for occupying too many cities. Moreover, the division of troops is even more detrimental to war. Therefore, after careful consideration, Qin Zhengguo and Zhao Chang finally decided to let the Xinghua Baomin Army take Guixi County and Xiangshan County as their base and occupy the Yunzhou Basin as a stronghold, and then carry out the actual occupation within these corresponding areas.

Qin Zhengguo and Zhao Chang decided to establish a stable force in one area with a steady strategy, and with this idea in mind, they implemented a series of principles and policies in these base areas.

The first is to implement the Xinghua Empire system in the base areas, and each region elects governors, implements the chief responsibility system, and manages the civil affairs of a place;

The second is to expand the scale of the Xinghua People's Army's subordinate army, the Xiemin Army, and some of the Allied People's Army can be promoted to the fourth level of the empire's corps. The fourth-class legion is the official legion of the empire, which directly receives the state's military pay. Of course, the good performance of the Xinghua Baomin Army also won the praise of the empire, and as a commendation, the Xinghua Baomin Army was promoted to the second class of the army.

The third is to hunt down the deserters of the Shu army, collect the prisoners, and establish a slave army. The purpose of the slave army's survival was to improve the combat effectiveness of the Xinghua army in Yunzhou. These slave armies are not very effective in combat, but they are good at maintaining order.

After the Battle of Yunzhou, the war ended, and the Xinghua Army lifted the ban on these areas, and many villagers who were hiding in the mountains could finally go down the mountain again.

However, unlike the coercive approach of other armies, in order to win the hearts and minds of the people, the Xinghua People's Army carried out a series of public opinion propaganda and actions in accordance with the cabinet's strategy.

For example, the soldiers of the Xinghua Army and the soldiers of the Xiemin Army would take turns to inspect the villages and help the villagers affected by the war to rebuild their homes and live a stable life.

Then, while implementing these measures, the soldiers of Xinghua State paid special attention to the ideological baptism of the villagers, indicating the filthy behavior of the Xia court. Anyway, it can be summed up in one sentence, the war between the Xinghua army and the Shu army was a helpless move, and the destruction of the people's houses was completely the fault of the Shu army and the Xia court.

Even if some people were skeptical of such a statement at first, after saying it over and over again, even hundreds of times, the villagers couldn't help but believe it.

In addition to helping people rebuild their homes, the Xinghua Army will also provide some basic survival materials or dry food for those who cannot return to a stable life all at once, such as compressed biscuits, ham sausages and other small favors.

After many efforts, it was a remarkable effect for the ordinary people who only cared about living a stable life and did not care who was in charge of the country, and it didn't take long for the Xinghua Army to capture a lot of people's hearts in these base areas.

In addition to appeasing the people's hearts, after the Battle of Yunzhou, the Xinghua People's Army also carried out another very important measure -- in order to increase its combat effectiveness, another recruitment activity was held for the People's Army.

Fortunately, before that, the Xinghua Army first carried out measures to appease the people in the base area, and achieved results, so as soon as they learned that the Xinghua Army and the People's Army were recruiting, many people in the Yunzhou area came enthusiastically, and in a short period of time, it was roughly estimated that more than 30,000 people had signed up!

If it weren't for the strict rules and regulations of the Xinghua Army's army, and the Xinghua Baomin Army really collected all these people who signed up, I am afraid that the number of the army would have increased so much that the military supply could not keep up.

The two sides hold each other, which is also a good thing for Cha Enren. As a representative of the Xinghua Chamber of Commerce, Che Enren can be said to have achieved the ultimate in the weapons business.

After several careful planning by Che Enren, a large number of cold weapons were sold to Haoqiang in Yunzhou. Moreover, Che Enren also knows the truth of waste utilization, if the weapons produced by the Xinghua Empire are not enough to sell, he will directly take the cold weapons discarded by the Shu army, and sell them to Haoqiang in Yunzhou, so between this back and forth, he really gathered a lot of money.

Among them, the Shanyue people, who span the three states of the Xia Kingdom, are the big customers of the Xinghua Chamber of Commerce. The son of the leader of the Shanyue tribe, Karodan, and the Xinghua Chamber of Commerce have carried out a total of three major transactions, and in total, there are at least 100,000 cold weapons, and other leather armor, iron armor, bows and arrows and other auxiliary equipment, even more countless.

Not only that, in order to further stabilize the business relationship with Carodan, Che Enren also sold a small amount of more than a dozen pistols to Carodan, which can be regarded as officially acknowledging his identity as a major customer of the Chamber of Commerce to Carodan.

However, in this transaction, a very key factor is involved.

In fact, as the son of the leader of the Shanyue clan, Karodan bought such a large number of weapons, but the purpose was not to assist his father and pledge allegiance to the Xia Kingdom, on the contrary, it turned out that the ultimate purpose of Karodan hoarding weapons was useless except for rebellion!

On this point, Cha Eun-in did not forget to figure it out in advance. After all, he wanted to know that if the Shanyue tribe bought such a large number of military weapons, would they eventually bite back and use these weapons to attack the Xinghua army in turn. It wasn't until Tong Guò secretly investigated, got the exact information, and got confirmation from Karodan that Cha Eun-in was relieved to sell the weapon to him.

Of course, Che Enren will not let down his guard, because he will also be worried that if the power of the Shanyue clan increases rapidly, it will still affect the Xinghua Army after all, so Che Enren still keeps an eye on the choice of weapon types and chooses some harmless weapon types. Otherwise, Cha Eun-in might still think about selling some military-style guns and ammunition to Karodan.

As for the pistols, they are good weapons at close range, and they can play a limited role on the battlefield, so they become items that Cha Eun-in used as proof of the relationship between the two parties, and sold a small amount to Karodan without any worries.

On this morning, Cha Eun-in led a team of goods into the mountains again. But this time, it was no longer a simple transaction, Chu Feng and other officials of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs decided to take this opportunity to contact the Shanyue tribe's Carodan and find an opportunity to form an alliance with the Shanyue tribe.

Knowing that the Shanyue tribe intended to rebel against the Xia State, the Xinghua Army wanted to form an alliance with the Shanyue tribe, and the purpose was naturally to contain the Xia State.

The intelligence bureau of the Xinghua Empire is in the Xia Kingdom, and after a period of investigation and understanding, it can already be determined that the comprehensive strength of the Xia Kingdom is indeed very strong. Yunzhou of Xia is just a border state of Xia State, but its population has exceeded 10 million, and the population of the entire Xia State has reached 500 million, so it is a veritable big country.

If it weren't for the civil strife in Xia, the spirit of the guide zhì was greatly damaged, and there were still some places that were not peaceful, when there was a big war between the two countries, the Xia State could have recruited a million troops in one go.

Moreover, the cabinet of the Xinghua Empire also knows the fact that the firearms of the Xinghua Empire are not invincible here in the Xia Kingdom. According to the information learned from the investigation of the Intelligence Bureau, in the capital of the Xia Kingdom, there is an army equipped with crystal guns, which is responsible for defending the capital of the Xia Kingdom and protecting the emperor.

In the mountains, on a rare rocky slope, hundreds of Shanyue people built a camp.

Cha Eun-in walked over with the people, and the two parties met.

"Carodan, long time no see. Cha Eun-ren said.

"Haha, Brother Cha Eun-in, long time no see. The pigtailed Carodan smiled heartily and greeted Cha Eun-in warmly, "What treasure did you bring us this time?"

"Great bows, iron-headed arrows, and some crossbows, I think you'll like it. Cha Eun-ren said.

"Great, I can't wait to see them. Carrodan said happily.

Che Enren smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry, I'll introduce you to someone." Chu Feng, an imperial official, he wants to talk to you about one thing on behalf of the Imperial Xinghua Army. ”

As soon as Che Enren's words fell, Chu Feng, who was introduced, stepped forward, introduced himself to Carodan, and explained his intention straight to the point: "Hello, Chief Carodan. I am an official of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Xinghua Empire, and my name is Chu Feng. What I want to talk to you about, it's not complicated. We have had many contacts between the two sides, and I believe that we can reach a certain tacit understanding and consensus with each other, so I think that an alliance can be formed between the Xinghua Army and the Shanyue tribe so that the two of us can help each other. ”

Chu Feng said lightly and naturally, as if he was just mentioning that the two of them had become good friends, and when the words fell, Chu Feng only looked at Carodan with a smile on his face, waiting for Carodan's positive reply
