Get out, get out, anyway, you don't have you like you, it's enough to have experiments in my life, men are superfluous. Ji Qing said disdainfully.

Yun Zhonghe hugged her gently and said softly, "I'm proud of you." ”

Over the years, Ji Qing's scientific and technological achievements have indeed been very fruitful and amazing, and his team has completely completed the manufacture of internal combustion engines, and after more than eight years, it has been quite mature.

The internal combustion engine train has rolled off the assembly line and has begun trial operation.

The first ironclad ship with an internal combustion engine is also ready to be launched, although it can't catch up with the Eastern Crusade, but this war may be fought for a long time, so the update and iteration of technology is very important.

Moreover, car engines, aircraft engines, and cloud cranes have also been included in her team's plan after providing ideas.

At least today's Imperial Airship Legion is very, very mature.

Now the territory of the empire is huge, the original first, second, third, Black Flame Empire, have all become the empire itself, the Holy King Province is more than 10,000 miles away, most of the transportation is by ships, but two or three thousand miles of airship passenger transport is already very mature, more than 10,000 miles of airship passenger transport is being demonstrated.

And half of this is the credit of Ji Qing's team, and the other half is the credit of the imperial materials.

"Then are you still coming back?" asked Ji Qing.

"Of course, this is also my home. "Crane in the clouds.

Ji Qing sneered: "Then you really have a lot of homes." ”

Then, she arched again: "Hurry up, don't just talk about it." ”

........................

The ninth day of the ninth month of September has officially arrived!

The empire held an unprecedented crusade ceremony, with more than hundreds of thousands of people coming to see them off.

Of course, this was just a ceremony, in fact, most of the troops had already set off in advance and headed for the Holy King's Province.

This time, the 200,000-strong army and more than 500 ships of various types participated in the Eastern Crusade ceremony.

"Long live the Great Flame!"

"Long live Your Majesty, long live, long live!"

Without speaking, the crane in the cloud just stood on the high platform, waved at hundreds of thousands of people, and then boarded the battleship Aotian.

"Let's go!"

With an order, the fleet left the empire itself.

Hundreds of thousands of people looked at the back of the fleet and sang the song of the Great Yan Empire in unison.

Until the entire fleet disappeared into the sea level, it did not leave.

No one in the New Great Yan Empire is superstitious, but at this time, almost everyone is praying in their hearts that God will bless our king.

....................................

Because this is going to war, and everything in the Eastern World is unknown, Miss Xu Anfei, Mrs. Musk, Jing Wubian and others will not go back first.

Ji Zhan, Hua Bi and others also stayed in the empire and guarded the rear.

This time, the empire sent an army of 500,000, and Jing Zhongyue, Ji Yan, and Ji Chang were the commanders.

There are 300,000 main army regiments of the empire, 150,000 regiments of the Yi clan, and 50,000 warrior regiments of the Black Flame Empire.

The battleship of more than fifteen thousand tons was very smooth, and the crane in the clouds was not in the conning tower, but on the deck with the sea breeze.

Standing next to him was Prince Zhou Li, who had been in the ranch for seven or eight years, and now he had finally regained his freedom.

He was finally able to go home, and his hair was gray by this time.

"Times have moved so fast that I feel like I've been abandoned. Zhou Li suddenly said: "I don't know how Da Zhou is, I don't know how the Eastern World is?"

Yun Zhonghe also wants to know this, he has been away from the Eastern World for almost thirteen years.

In the past thirteen years, the New Great Yan Empire has undergone earth-shaking changes, what about the Eastern World?

........................

Half a month later!

The fleet arrived in the province of the Holy King, where the newly dug Canal of the Holy King was located.

From a long distance, you can see the skyrocketing chimneys and billowing smoke.

The entire province of the Holy King is not only a powerful army fortress, but also countless arsenals and oil refineries.

The scenery of the empire itself is too good, and the air is good, and the cranes in the clouds really can't bear to destroy it.

So a few years ago, the Great Industrial Relocation began, moving to the coastal cities of the First, Second and Third Colonies.

In the future world-class war, it is obvious that the Holy King Province will become the wartime headquarters, and all the materials will be transferred here, and the Imperial Privy Council, the Imperial Admiralty, and even most of them have been relocated here.

Hundreds of ships of the 200,000-strong army passed through the canal one after another, and then rested for about ten days.

On the third day of October, an army of 500,000 sailed towards the east.

More than 1,300 ships of all kinds spread out on the sea, vertical and horizontal for hundreds of miles, truly boundless, covering the sky and the sun.

More than dozens of giant airships are in the air, monitoring everything on the sea.

........................

On the tenth day after the expedition, the army had already left the Holy King's Province for more than seven thousand miles.

"Your Majesty, there is something you can come and take a look at. The female officer Zhu Yuyan said.

Yun Zhonghe hurriedly walked into the cabin, only to see the cold Jing Zhongyue, and in the room stood a heroic and beautiful girl, who was his eldest daughter Jing Que.

"You, how did you come here?" Yun Zhonghe said urgently: "Didn't you promise to stay in the empire and take care of your younger brothers and sisters while practicing martial arts." ”

This unconscious girl, before Yun Zhonghe set out on the expedition, she deliberately let people take her far away to conduct martial arts trials.

You...... How did you get on board?

Jing Que said: "Father, don't you care how I got on the ship? I can't betray my comrades-in-arms, but I'm already here, and I can't go back now." Don't you want me to be in charge of the Order Society? Don't you want me to be the leader of the Imperial Transcendent Samurai Guild in the future? If I don't participate in this war, how can I bear the heavy responsibility? How can I serve the public? Besides, I have recently felt that my martial arts cultivation has reached a bottleneck, and I also need to go to the battlefield to see life and death. ”

The crane in the cloud is speechless, you stinky girl, you are only twenty-three years old this year, and your martial arts are about to catch up with your mother, you tell me now that there is a bottleneck?

Jing Que said: "Okay, scattered, scattered, what should I do." No fuss. ”

This is what I should say, the crane in the clouds is speechless.

..........................................

Another ten days passed, and at this time it was more than fifteen thousand miles away from the Shengwang Canal.

Because this sea route will go around a long way, it is not even a third of the distance at this time.

But because they didn't know anything about the Great Xian Demon Country, the entire fleet became cautious, especially the airships in the sky, and they knew all the areas within more than a thousand square kilometers.

However, no ships were seen on the sea.

Isn't that weird?

I shouldn't have seen the ship, there was originally a kingdom here, and there was also the trajectory of human action.

Another 10 days of sailing!

At this time, it was more than 20,000 miles away from the Shengwang Canal, and more than 35,000 miles away from the empire itself.

"Your Majesty, although we still have a certain amount of supplies on our ship, and supply ships are constantly keeping up, we need to build a base here. Admiral Ji said: "We have found a very good natural harbor, which is very suitable for the construction of a naval port, and according to air exploration, there will be a lot of mineral resources here. ”

The crane in the clouds looked at the map, and then took a small boat and boarded the land.

It's deserted, but there are plenty of wild beasts.

Take an airship ride and observe the land from high altitudes, and find that the geographical conditions here are very advantageous, with large plains, large mountains, and vast forests.

Next, the huge fleet began to temporarily dock on this huge coastline.

More than 100,000 people landed on the land to collect.

I have been sailing for more than a month, and there is no shortage of food and meat, but there is a shortage of vitamins.

Professional sappers, as well as baggage troops, are already busy.

Here a temporary port was built, a fortress was built, and a vegetable garden was opened, and the seeds brought were planted, and artificial fertilizer was watered, and it was not for where this fertilizer came from, hundreds of thousands of people saved for more than a month, and the amount was amazing.

This is the expedition, which is not as romantic as imagined, and it will be killed directly for tens of thousands of miles.

Countless sailors began to clean the warship, and in just one month, I don't know how many sea creatures have made their home on the bottom of the ship.

And craftsmen began to check the engines of various ships, and so on.

Next, it is here to wait for the supply fleet of the Empire itself.

The war is about logistics, and from the moment of the Eastern Crusade, countless supply ships of the empire have already begun to set off. Next, we will continue to transport food, fruits, meat, ammunition, clothing, fuel, and media from afar.

"Your Majesty, there are coal mines, iron mines, and aluminum mines, and the grade is very good. ”

"Your Majesty, please name this place. ”

Yun Zhonghe thought for a while and said, "Nuzhou!"

Everyone knows that the crane in the clouds misses his father Ao Ting, and from now on this land will be called Nuzhou.

Originally, the crane in the clouds wanted to be named Aozhou, but it was found that it would be similar to the earth's Australia, so I gave up.

In the following period, Yun Zhonghe took his daughter to ride and hunt happily in this new continent.

Less than a month later, the supply ship arrived, bringing more than a hundred thousand Yi people, as well as 50,000 imperial legions.

Next, there will be a city rising in the New World, as well as several huge ports.

There will also be farms, pastures.

Because there are also professional herdsmen who have brought many breeding cattle, breeding pigs, and horses, and there are bison, wild horses everywhere, and large-scale hunting teams have been dispatched.

And they built a lime kiln, a cement kiln, an iron ore field here in the shortest possible time.

Perhaps in two more years, all the materials needed for the expeditionary army will not need to be transported from the mainland.

The supply ship is coming, and all the energy and supplies have been refilled.

And two newly built hospital ships also arrived.

The huge fleet set off again, and headed eastward.

..........................................

"If there is no investigation, there is no right to speak, so the first thing is to investigate how the Eastern world has changed dramatically. Yun Zhonghe said: "However, we have a general thinking, because our known naval strength is relatively strong, so it is very necessary to attack a place surrounded by the sea on all sides, but there is a city foundation. ”

Then, the crane in the cloud points to a place on the map.

This is where the Shi family once lived, there is an archipelago and a peninsula.

"Let's call it the Shi Peninsula for the time being, the southernmost point of the former Great Zhou Empire, after conquering this place, we will build a strong fortress here, we will have a base, and the army can land in a steady stream. ”

"Agree, agree, agree......"

Next, the huge fleet sailed for more than half a month, and it was already more than 10,000 miles away from the mainland of Xinnuzhou.

Then I saw a continent.

According to the map, this continent should be the Celestial Empire, which has more than three million square kilometers and a population of more than tens of millions.

This is the most powerful of the Western Regions countries, and it is also the last target of the Great Western Empire's conquest.

The fleet temporarily stopped sailing, and the airship legion went north to the Celestial Empire to reconnoitre.

A day later, the Airship Legion returned.

"Your Majesty, almost all the cities of the Celestial Empire have been reduced to ruins, and thousands of miles are uninhabited. ”

After hearing the report, the crane in the clouds boarded the airship without saying a word and took off into the sky above the Celestial Empire.

It's really devastation.

The empire was once prosperous and densely populated, with several large cities with a population of hundreds of thousands.

And now, when viewed from the sky, it has been completely reduced to ruins.

As far as the crane in the clouds saw, the city was originally a large coastal city with a huge port.

But now the entire port is empty.

The whole city is full of green, and because it has been abandoned for many years, weeds and trees have grown, and it has also become a paradise for animals.

A closer look at these cities shows that there are not many traces of war.

One of the airships landed, and dozens of soldiers began to explore the city.

Occasionally, corpses have been found, but not many. There are very few traces of the city being destroyed by the war.

But in the whole city, there is not a single person.

The crane in the clouds has been going deep, all the way deep, and has been flying thousands of miles in the sky.

There is still no half of the smoke.

He returned to the battleship.

"Your Majesty, the first thing that is certain is that this Celestial Empire is not without war, but that the enemy is so strong that they have not had time to resist at all, and they have already failed. ”

"And there are very few corpses, and the people who represent the entire Celestial Empire may have been captured. ”

This judgment is reasonable, but it is striking.

The entire Celestial Empire, with more than tens of millions of people, has been captured, what are you going to do?

There is no doubt that the people who captured these tens of millions of people are the Great Xian Demon Country, but why does he want so many people?

Moreover, they are not only captive of the people of the Celestial Empire, but also people from other realms.

All of them were taken as slaves? That's hundreds of millions of slaves?

What is this going to do?

What is the big project that requires so many slaves?

..........................................

Next, the fleet continued to move eastward, and at this time it was getting closer and closer to the range of the Great Salty Demon Country.

The entire fleet became cautious.

In particular, the airship corps in the air has spread to an area of several thousand square kilometers.

Along the way, I have seen more and more cities, all in ruins, and there is not a single living person.

Everyone fell silent, what the hell was going on?

According to Yun Zhonghe's imagination, at this time, the Great Xian Demon Kingdom should have ruled half of the world, with a territory of more than tens of millions of square kilometers.

However, as far as the eye can see, there are ruins everywhere.

Along the way, at least tens of millions, or even hundreds of millions, of people have disappeared, and more than a dozen countries have completely disappeared.

And the vast sea was always quiet, and not a single ship was seen.

Originally, there were many trading ships here, as well as many fishing boats.

He sailed forward for several thousand miles and came to the continent of the southeastern countries.

It is only more than 5,000 miles away from the southernmost tip of the Great Zhou Empire, and originally had more than a dozen kingdoms with a population of tens of millions, and it was also the largest trading partner of the Shi family.

But now, all the ports are deserted.

All the kingdoms perished, all the cities, all the villages, were desolate.

Once again, the crane in the clouds landed on this land, exactly like the Celestial Elephant Kingdom, these cities showed no signs of war, and there were not many corpses to be seen.

In other words, these kingdoms were captured with little resistance.

That's again a population of tens of millions.

Yun Zhonghe and Ji Yan glanced at each other, the Holy King Canal was already the largest project in the empire, but it only used millions of manpower.

And now the crane in the clouds sees that the Great Salty Demon Kingdom has taken hundreds of millions of people away.

That's bad news.

What kind of project is being carried out in the Great Salty Demon Country?

Thirteen years have passed now, which means that this super project may have been going on for more than ten years.

What has become of the Great Salty Demon Country now?

What has become of the Oriental world today?

................................................

Returning to the battleship, Yun Zhonghe said: "You must be mentally prepared, maybe the eastern world is more complicated than we imagined at this time. ”

"Your Majesty. Ji Yan raised his hand.

The crane in the cloud said: "Please speak!"

Ji Yan said: "I want to talk about the difference between the two dark kings of the Great Salty Demon Kingdom, Emperor Anger and Emperor Win. ”

The crane in the cloud said: "Please." ”

Ji Yan said: "I used to be an outsider, and the Emperor Nu and Emperor Win I saw were all words. In my mind, Emperor Nu seems to be more yearning for his martial arts realm, and even more yearning for some unknown mission. And this kind of mission, as if it is a kind of resistance to fate, is a very pure emotion. And Emperor Nu seems to have no intention of unifying the world and establishing an empire against the sky. ”

Yun Zhonghe thought for a moment and agreed with this.

Because according to the limited history of the Great Xian Demon Kingdom, the Nu Emperor Great Xian Demon Kingdom is extremely powerful and can dominate the world very early, but the expansion of the Great Xian Demon Kingdom is completely passive.

Because there are more and more mutant people in the Great Salt Demon Country, and there are more and more powerful samurai, a large amount of land and slaves are needed, so the Great Salt Demon Kingdom begins to expand. It's not that Emperor Nu himself wants to dominate the world before expanding.

Ji Yan continued: "However, Emperor Ying is different, he has great ambitions, he has indescribable ambitions. So...... Once he became the Dark King of the Great Salty Demon Kingdom, that ...... It is quite possible to create a terrible foundation that surpasses that of the Nu Emperor. Therefore, this Great Salty Demon Country may be even more powerful than the Great Salty Demon Kingdom thousands of years ago. And...... Win Emperor is very good at hiding. ”

At this point, the crane in the clouds has the last say.

"According to His Majesty's description, I think Emperor Ying knows a lot of top secrets, and he has already formulated a lot of strategies in his heart. However, it was not until he defeated the White Cloud City Lord and became the supreme king of the Great Xian Demon Kingdom that he officially started these strategies. And this strategy may be far more than we can imagine. Ji Yan said.

Yun Zhonghe said: "As an outsider, you boldly imagine and boldly expand your thinking. ”

Ji Yan said: "We have seen along the way that more than dozens of kingdoms have been deserted, and cities and farmlands have been deserted. It can be seen that this Great Xian Demon Kingdom does not have much desire for land, so what is more important than territory? What did the Great Xian Demon Kingdom do when it took these hundreds of millions of slaves? To farm? Impossible, because the farmland of these kingdoms is better and the yield is higher. So I suspect that Emperor Ying is carrying out an unprecedented earth-shattering project, completing what Emperor Nu wants to accomplish but has not completed. ”

"In the past ten years, we have sent thousands of people to explore the Great Salty Demon Country, but none of them have returned. Ji Yan said: "We don't know anything about the Great Xian Demon Country, so Your Majesty, I suggest that we don't take too much risk and don't rush over the whole fleet like this." It's only a little over 5,000 miles from the Shishi Peninsula, and we can build a base here. And there are built ports here, we just need to expand and reinforce them, there are abandoned farmland, and there are ready-made fortresses. ”

Jing Zhongyue thought for a while and said, "I am an anxious person, and my heart is like an arrow. But I think General Ji Yan has a point, the army should be stationed here first and build a strong enough fortress defense. Then send the airship legion to the north to investigate, knowing oneself and knowing the other can win all battles. ”

After deliberation, the crane in the clouds decided that the army should be stationed here.

And named this land Yunzhou.

Tens of thousands of troops log in first, search the entire area, and make sure it's safe.

The Empire's hundreds of thousands of troops began to land on the land, and immediately built a strong defensive line.

Tens of thousands of sappers began to repair the abandoned city and tidy up the palace of the crane in the clouds.

................................................

More than half a month later!

This isolated city of Yunzhou has suddenly been renewed, the entire city has been renovated, and several large ports have been strengthened and expanded.

The transport and supply fleet of the empire mainland also stopped in a steady stream.

Lime plants, cement plants, and iron ore mines were still the first to be established.

Immediately afterward, batch after batch of Yi people were transported to this land.

Because the situation is more complicated than the crane in the clouds imagined, the cranes in the clouds need to be more cautious in this big battle.

On this continent, there were originally more than a dozen kingdoms, so each mine was ready-made, and it was to occupy it directly and resume production.

Next, it is necessary to build the entire Yunzhou into an incomparably strong and powerful fortress base.

This is already the Eastern World, and it needs to become the forefront base of the new Great Yan Empire.

Another month passed.

The defense line of the entire Yunzhou City has been built to ensure the safety of the entire army.

Hundreds of thousands of troops have also recovered to their best condition and are ready to go at any time.

Then, Yun Zhonghe ordered two airships to go north to the Shi Peninsula to reconnoitre.

................................................

The two airships rose to an altitude of 10,000 meters, hid in the clouds, and continued to fly north.

Flew three thousand miles.

At this time, it was only two thousand miles away from the Shi Peninsula.

The reconnaissance major was eager to lower the airship to see if there were any ships in the area, and what class of ships.

But he still gave up, because his first goal was to scout the Shi Peninsula, which was the native land of the Great Xian Demon Country.

Another two thousand miles were flown up.

Above 10,000 meters in the sky, there are white clouds everywhere, and nothing can be seen here.

"Try to descend the height, the descending height ......"

Next, one of the airships slowly descended in altitude, while the other remained hidden above the clouds.

Descend 8,000 meters.

Descent of five thousand meters.

Descend three thousand meters.

The airship rushed out of the clouds, finally saw, saw.

Then, the Major gasped and his gaze shrank suddenly.

This...... Such a big city?

According to His Majesty's information, the Shi Peninsula was originally the territory of Shi Bian, the king of Zhenhai in the Great Zhou Empire, and the city was not very large, with a population of only two or three hundred thousand, and it was a typical oriental city.

What now?!

The whole city is like a giant beast, entrenched by the sea.

The incomparably tall city walls were taller than any city wall in the New Great Yan Empire, and even higher than the walls of the Black Yan Empire.

The 50-meter-high and 15-meter-wide city walls truly encircle the city like a giant's arm.

And the whole city, full of strong fortresses.

Not only that, but there is also a huge harbor densely packed with all kinds of ships, which is also sheltered from the sky.

The Major picked up his binoculars, trying to get a good look at the flags flying in this magnificent city.

"Salty!"

That's right, this is the Great Salty Demon Country.

There is another flag that reads: Well.

That is, the owner of this superfortress city is surnamed Jing.

Which well? Could it be the princess of the well without frost?

It's very likely, because she can be regarded as a descendant of the Great Salty Demon Kingdom.

This is supposed to be a superfortress in the southernmost part of the Great Salty Demon Country, defending against possible enemies.

The fort was strong and strong, far exceeding the Major's expectations.

Next, there will be a tough battle.

And right now!

"Crunch ......"

Suddenly, dozens of black dots rose from the fortress, let out a terrible cry, and rushed towards the airship.

This is a crow, it turned out to be a crow.

It's just that there is no such big crow in this world, after the wings are opened, it is more than two meters, this is a mutated crow.

The airship is spotted, and the crows rise into the air to attack the airship.

"Lift-off, lift-off, lift-off!" commanded the major.

Then, the technician next to him desperately took pictures.

The crane in the clouds has already invented the camera, but it is larger.

This technician is going to take pictures of this superfortress, as well as the fleet on the sea.

The airship continued to rise into the air and re-enter the clouds.

Then, flee to the base to the south.

At the same time, there was a cacophony of cacophony from the fortress on the ground.

Then flocks of huge crows rushed out and flew south.

The fleet on the sea also began to sound its horn, and with an order, the powerful fleet of the Great Xian Demon Kingdom also marched south.

..........................................

Note: The next chapter will be around 12 noon tomorrow, and the ending plot is really difficult to write.

Grace guys, remember to vote for a monthly ticket, and work hard to reach the top six, unwilling to give up!
