Chapter 963: Before the Great War
The Shenlong Festival has passed, and the annual Chamber of Commerce exhibition has also passed, but the afterglow left by one thing after another has not dissipated, and now walking on the palace street, you can still feel the crowded market, because to this day, those cleaning service personnel have not completely cleaned the palace street, leaving all kinds of traces????? οΌ
But I have to say that this time the Shenlong Festival, as well as the Chamber of Commerce exhibition, has brought the spring breeze of reform to the entire empire, and even the entire Yanyang Continent, according to the cabinet statistics, dozens of countries in the Yanyang Continent, large and small, have already sent a notice and accepted the name of the Shenlong Festival.
This is power, this is Diwei.
Because every year of the Dragon Festival, people will know about the Dragon Empire, and they will envy the Dragon Empire, and want to be a part of this glory and be a Dragon person.
A few days ago, but now the palace has become busy, Liu Qingshan is busy, all the concubines are also busy, and even the queen mother is also busy, each has its own things, a new year, a new beginning.
Liu Qingshan, as the emperor, is of course busy with major events, the southern strategy plan has been revised several times, and now it has become perfect, and the preliminary work has been prepared, just waiting for the emperor's order, waving the army to the south, stepping on every inch of land, this was once, and it was also the homeland of the Shenlong Empire.
Liu Qingshan, all the ministers of the cabinet, as well as the chief officials of the nine ministries, the military aircraft department and other important figures, all gathered in the government affairs hall to discuss the matter of sending troops, this time, once the Shenlong Empire made a move, it would inevitably be a storm, vowing to return the entire south to the empire's territory, the Boxer Kingdom, and the end of the Yugoslav Empire, which are now in danger.
The forces of the overseas island tribes are united, and the murderous army of more than 100 armies is raging in the south, and the two new empires are struggling to support, the people's hearts have been lost, and signs of defeat have been born.
According to the information from the front, during the Shenlong Festival, more than a million people moved to the territory of the Shenlong Empire, and these people were all people who escaped from the city occupied by the island army, and according to these people, the south was already a sea of blood.
Especially the Yugoslav Alliance Empire, it even sent a three-point letter of salvation, which was thrown in the garbage basket by Cao Feihong, at this time, this so-called alliance is still dreaming of a great power, and refuses to bow down to the vassals, since it claims to be a country, then don't blame the Shenlong Empire for not saving it.
Although it is a little cruel, for the sake of the empire, as the first assistant of the cabinet, Cao Feihong will certainly not be a woman.
After all, when the Shenlong Empire was first established, these princes united to put pressure on the empire and damage the prestige of the emperor, many ministers in the court clearly remembered that now the situation is changing, and it is the turn of the Shenlong Empire to rise, which is of course the final say of the Shenlong Empire.
Liu Qingshan looked at the nine cabinet elders, and finally asked, "Lord Cao, has the date been decided?"
Cao Feihong immediately stepped forward, bowed and saluted, and said: "Your Majesty, the date has been set, the sixteenth day of the first lunar month, it is the day when everything is appropriate, and the armies of all ministries have arrived in the designated area after being prepared by the Military Aircraft Department, as long as Your Majesty gives an order, you can wave your army to level the south." β
Liu Qingshan heard this, and shouted sharply: "Okay, then on the sixteenth day of the first month, this king issued an order of the emperor and waved his army south." β
"Tianwu, this time in the battle of the south, you don't want to participate, on the day the army starts, you immediately rush back to the north, this king is worried that the Northern Xuan Empire will take the opportunity to make a move, you have a heavy responsibility, and you can't afford to lose. β
Luo Tianwu bowed down to lead the order, relative to the south, the biggest enemy of the empire is in the north, not to mention the Northern Xuan Empire, the demon country with more and more serious civil strife is also a big threat to the empire, and it is definitely heavier than the two small countries in the south.
"This southern strategy, this king personally presides, not only to fight, but also to exterminate the Island Alliance, and take back the rights of the overseas islands, Concubine Yu, how is your ocean team prepared?"
This time, Yu Beibei also participated in the discussion, after all, this time the warship, the warships of the Shenlong Empire will also be added to it, and it has a key role, which is also Liu Qingshan's first step in developing the ocean.
"In accordance with His Majesty's order, the warship brigade has already headed south along the bay, and in three days it can reach the designated area, and once the empire starts a big war, the warteam can blockade the entire southern sea, and will not let the islanders have a chance to escape. β
"Very good, the Ocean Warship Brigade is also very important to the development of the future empire, Concubine Yu must not slack off, go down to Fish Island to start work at full strength, the territory of the Shenlong Empire is vast, and it needs enough sea guard strength. β
"Yes, Your Majesty. β
In fact, a long time ago, Liu Qingshan had already pulled out a special fund for the manufacture and research and development of sea ships, it can be said that when other empires had not seen it, the Shenlong Empire was already one step ahead, and now Mermaid Island has gathered the best shipbuilding talents in the entire continent, and the ship-making technology of the generation every two years is constantly updated.
Although the land is wide, the sea is more healed, and Liu Qingshan also hopes that he will conquer a larger territory in this era.
Immediately, a cabinet persuaded him: "Your Majesty, although my Divine Dragon Empire is now strong and strong, but in the face of the Northern Xuan Empire and the Demon Kingdom, we still need to strengthen the power on land, what are the interests in this sea, do we need our empire to spend such a price to ask for it?"
This question, in fact, many people don't understand, even Cao Feihong used to be the same, puzzled by Liu Qingshan's decision, although the Shenlong Empire is now prosperous and wealthy, but shipbuilding is not a small cost, and Liu Qingshan seems to be too obsessed with shipbuilding, which is incomprehensible.
Liu Qingshan explained to him at that time that in the future world, whoever occupies the ocean will be able to take the lead.
Cao Feihong did not understand this conceptual difference across several eras, but under the emperor's strong order, understanding must be implemented, and if you don't understand, you must implement it.
Everyone looked at Liu Qingshan.
Liu Qingshan glanced at everyone, and felt that this problem needed to be explained, after all, it must be related to the future development plan of the empire, although Liu Qingshan did not understand economic and other things, but in the urban years he experienced, highly developed countries were all in the ocean to gain benefits.
"Who of you knows what the end of the ocean is?"
"Isn't the ocean boundless, everyone thinks like this, isn't the end of the ocean also the ocean?"
Everyone didn't speak, only Cao Feihong opened his mouth and said: "Your Majesty, there is a saying in the historical books, the sky is topless, the sea is boundless, isn't the sea boundless, how can there be an end?"
Liu Qingshan shook his head with a smile and said: "The sky is topless, the sea is boundless, it's just a matter of talking, whether the sky has a top, now this king doesn't know, but the sea must have a edge, it's just that no one has ever arrived, this king will ask you again, the area outside the Yanyang Continent, do you know what is there?"
Not to mention the area outside the Yanyang Continent, for everyone, the focus is always on their own one-third of an acre, it is enough for the courtiers of the Shenlong Empire to pay attention to their own country, who would have thought that there is anything outside the Yanyang Continent.
However, Cao Feihong still knows something, he traveled all over the world and walked a lot of border places.
"Your Majesty, the minister has traveled to the southwest back then, and I heard that there are strange races outside the boundless forest, because the minister has witnessed the human race that is completely different from the races in our Yanyang Continent. β
"It's just a pity that when Chen met that alien, he was already dying, and no one could understand his words, so there was no way to know more, but Chen believed that beyond the Yanyang Continent, there was a bigger continent, and it would not be inferior to the Shenlong Empire. β
"Elder Ge, is this really the case?"
"Beyond the Burning Sun Continent, there is also the existence of a continent?"
The court officials were a little curious, and they all opened their mouths to ask, Cao Feihong said: "It is true, many wild histories have records of this, but no one takes it seriously." β
Liu Qingshan saw that there was a lot of discussion in the audience, obviously out of the topic, and immediately said: "Okay, these things, I will slowly know about them in the future, now this king just wants to tell you that in the ocean, there are a hundredfold, a thousand times the interests of the Shenlong Empire, and if the Shenlong Empire wants to develop and grow, it absolutely needs to occupy the benefits of the ocean." β
"So whether you understand it or not, the construction of warships is imperative and must be given priority, so while everyone is here today, this king ordered the formation of a navy. β
"Navy, is the current army of the empire called the army?" The bright-minded man immediately thought of what the emperor meant, and asked.
"Yes, this is something that the Military Aircraft Department should take seriously. The ministers of military aircraft, including Luo Tianwu, immediately nodded yes, although they really can't understand it now, but this is also a way to enhance the emperor's ** power, and the empire's finances can support it, there is nothing wrong.
On the contrary, if what the emperor said is not wrong, in the ocean, there are a hundred times and a thousand times the benefits, then the future of the Shenlong Empire is unimaginable, as a member of the empire, each of them is integrated with the empire, and they are both prosperous, and now in the Yanyang Continent, the happiest is the Shenlong Empire, and everyone has a 100% sense of belonging.
Compared with hunger, toil, war, and death, the current days of the Shenlong Empire are a paradise on earth.
In particular, Dragon City, the capital of the Shenlong Empire, is something that everyone in the world wants to enter.
But now that the government has strictly controlled the population, the conditions for settlement are getting higher and higher every time, but there is still an endless stream of people who want to enter, and those who have a Longcheng household registration certificate are envied wherever they go.
It feels like a city person, the difference between a country person.
"Yan general, Giselle, you will also go south with this king this time, and you will listen to the tent. β
Yan General and Ji Saier are both military generals, Yan General is a wise general, and Ji Saile is a fierce general, each has its own use, and it can come in handy when it is critical.
Coupled with a ubiquitous Sifu, Liu Qingshan felt that it was enough to set foot in the south.
The current Shenlong Empire, is not the early stage of restoration, the provocation of the south is helpless, since Liu Qingshan founded the military academy, those emperor's protΓ©gΓ©s have become more and more fierce, the army has implemented a new training method, and the combat effectiveness has become very strong, and a large number of talents will emerge in the training operations held every year.
The capable go up, the mediocre go down, and the army also implements the method of making the best use of people, and if you want to get an official position, there is only one way to go, that is, to become stronger and stronger.
Now that this form has been formed, even if Liu Qingshan doesn't stare at it every day, no one dares to relax in those trainings in the army, which must be related to the future of each of them.
