Chapter Fifty-Eight: Arrival in the North Sea

Song Taiping, supported by several soldiers of the Dayan Empire's special combat team, landed ashore from the ironclad ship in a small boat, and carried down Xiang Shaowu, who was in a coma, and Song Zhenhai, Xu Wenjun, Shangguanyi, Lu Tao, Kun Xianghu and others, who had been waiting on the shore for a long time, hurriedly stepped forward and asked Song Taiping what was the situation?

Song Taiping briefly introduced the experience of this trip to the Boer Empire in a low voice, and learned that the behind-the-scenes leader of the Huanxi Sect turned out to be the former Soul Emperor of Sirius, whose strength was so strong that he was able to hit Xiang Shaowu hard, everyone was shocked into a cold sweat, and when they saw Tuobu Yuanqi coming over under the protection of the palace guards, everyone naturally stopped talking, after all, this emperor has a changeable temperament and has to be guarded.

Tuobu Yuan glanced at Xiang Shaowu who was unconscious, his heart was unusually happy, and he wished that Xiang Shaowu was dead, but on the surface, he still had a sad face and asked for warmth, and at the end asked Song Taiping what he planned to do with this Bol Empire's ironclad ship, and the greed was no longer hidden.

Song Taiping said very happily: "Since the emperor is interested in this ironclad ship, he can sell it to the emperor, the cost of this ironclad ship is more than 500 million taels of silver, and directly exchange with the emperor for the five-year mining rights of ten mines." ”

Tuobu Yuanqi was very vigilant and asked: "I don't know what mine the king wants to change for?" If it's gold and silver, it can't be ten. ”

Song Taiping smiled, thinking to himself: What's the use of me making weapons and asking for gold mines? The silver mines are in the Chacama Prairie, is it worth my ironclad in exchange? If you want to exchange it, it will also be exchanged for the special metal ore that you regard as dung, and you don't have the technology to refine these special metals, but I have. If it weren't for the suspicion of your Tuobu Yuanqi, I would have chosen special metal mines for these ten mines.

Song Taiping said to his father Song Zhenhai beside him: "Father, please ask Grandpa Xu to get a list of minerals urgently needed for the construction of various cities and the distribution location of these minerals." While Song Taiping was speaking, he made a few code gestures in his hand.

Song Zhenhai looked at the gesture, he understood what Song Taiping meant, nodded slightly, and walked to the master of the Zhitian Pavilion Xu Xiansheng Pavilion who gathered with the other ten mayors not far away, and conveyed Song Taiping's meaning with his ear, Xu Xiansheng took out a pen and paper, and asked the ten mayors around him about the lack of construction materials in various cities, most of which are concentrated in some special metals, iron, copper, silver, lead and other common metals. Metals such as magnesium, which they had never used before, were scarce.

Xu Xiansheng thought for a while, recorded the main missing metal on the paper, and took out a bag, took out a neatly folded note, compared with the record on the note, Xu Xiansheng wrote the chemical symbol and origin of the mineral on the back part of the paper, carefully checked it, and then handed it to Song Zhenhai, and Song Zhenhai handed it over to Song Taiping.

Song Taiping took the note and glanced at it, and if it met his requirements, he handed it directly to Tuobu Yuanqi, and said calmly: "Your Majesty, this is the list of materials that are lacking in the construction of our eleven cities and the location of the ten mines that I am going to exchange. ”

Tuobu Yuanqi took the note, and had a headache when he looked at it directly, except for the ten places on it that used the Yan script, the others were recorded in chemical symbols and the numerical representation taught by Song Taiping, for Tuobu Yuanqi said that it was the same as the Book of Heaven, and he couldn't understand it at all, Tuobu Yuanqi rubbed his temples, frowned and asked: "Can you tell me the meaning of these symbols?" I don't understand it at all. ”

Song Taiping smiled slightly and replied: "Your Majesty, those symbols are the chemical symbols and quantities of metals, basically copper, iron, lead, tungsten, aluminum, nickel, magnesium, etc. are necessary metals for bearings and key components of production equipment. ”

Although Tuobu Yuanqi still hasn't figured out what these metals are? But I heard that there were no gold mines and silver mines, and I heard Song Taiping's words, these metals that I heard for the first time seemed to be used in the imitation of the ironclad ship in front of me, a few days ago, I asked Zhang Feiya about the progress of the model manufacturing of the ironclad ship and the tank, but I learned that Zhang Feiyamen was running for mayor of a city under construction, and was busy with his management of the city's construction, and all the craftsmen of Zhuyuanmen were transferred to the city to put into construction, which was completely shelved. was actually scolded by the mayor of Zhang Feiya, and directly picked on him, asking him to find another master to imitate ironclad ships and tanks, and he was busy with urban construction, atoning for his sins to Song Taiping, regretting listening to the temptation of Tuob Yuanqi, for the sake of that bit of gold and silver and a few beautiful palace maids, he made an empty hand on Song Zhen, and now he regrets it.

Tuobu Yuanqi looked at the rifles in the hands of the city defenders, more than ten large-caliber artillery pieces towering on the small hills in the city, and then looked at the palace guards and janissaries he brought or spears, big swords, bows and crossbows, under the contrast of this strength, Tuobu Yuanqi had no confidence at all, and retreated, and Song Taiping said that the heavy hammer hit his heart, the sixteen state capitals of the Dayan Empire, and the vast majority of the state capitals are located on both sides of the big river, which is nothing more than the land of water and rice, with the convenience of fishery, agriculture and transportation, But at this time, they were all shrouded in the shadow of the Boer Empire's ironclad ships on the Northern Continent, and the eleven cities set up by Song Taiping were all at a distance from the big rivers, with a wide field of vision around them, and under the deterrence of large-caliber artillery in the city, even if it was a tank siege, it would have to pay a heavy price.

The secret agent under the command of Tuobu Yuanqi has just reported: The special combat team soldiers who traveled with Song Taiping boasted that on the territory of the Boer Empire, Kunwu Lao Zu shot down several helicopters of the Boer Empire, which is a big guy who can fly in the sky, can strafe with machine guns, and throw Molotov cocktails to the ground, and in the siege war, the towering city wall will become an ornament!

Tuobu Yuanqi was full of bitterness and ordered the eunuchs around him to hand over these ten mines to Song Taiping, the king of Yizi, for ten years without collecting any taxes.

Tuobu Yuanqi almost begged Song Taiping to select a few craftsmen from the rescued Shenji Gate to guide the Ministry of Industry of the Dayan Empire to imitate the ironclad ship and develop the tank!

Song Taiping saw that Tuobu Yuanqi was making a request for the national defense of the Dayan Empire, and he didn't want to let the Waiyi Coalition Army plunder and kill the people of the Dayan Empire in the future, so he reluctantly agreed, and could only provide five technical guidance for Tuob Yuanqi, and asked Tuob Yuanqi to ensure their safety.

Song Taiping sent away the emperor of the Dayan Empire, Tuob Yuanqi, exchanged a few words with the heads of the four major families outside the sky, and then took the mayors of the eleven cities that had been waiting for a long time to Beihai City, and asked the Metropolitan Governor Ma Yu to arrange a meeting place in Beihai City, and asked his father Song Zhenhai to allocate three thousand taels of silver to the Metropolitan Governor Ma Yu, and asked Ma Yu to transfer it to the family members of the boss and crew of the fishing boat that sent him to the Boer Empire, promising that the families of these bloody men could occupy the quota of the Song family to obtain the status of residents of eleven cities and any city!

Tuobu Yuanzheng, Lu Tao and others received Song Taiping's secret instructions, and joined the special combat team sergeants to cover the Boer Imperial soldiers, General Madson, and Thoms, the artillery god who surrendered to Chengcheng. Nacre and his accompanying military chariot secretly made their way to a hideaway in the Anel Mountains on the Chacama Meadow side.

Song Taiping and the eleven mayors gathered in a well-guarded secret room, these eleven mayors are basically old acquaintances, the first mayors elected by the eleven cities under construction are: Tuobu Yinhei, Xu Xiansheng, Zhang Feiya, Soul Fengyun, Wang Zhitian, Yaoyao, Sun Binhao, Qiao Yifu, Tuobu Aiming, Hong Jiuyang, and Miao empty-handed.

Song Taiping looked around at the eleven mayors present, bowed his hand, and said calmly: "Boy Song Taiping is here to thank the eleven elders for their hard work in the construction of the city, among the eleven elders here, the prince of Shaanxi and Gansu Tuobu Aiming, the master of Zhang Feiya of Zhuyuanmen, the lord of the Soul of the Hades Palace and the boy are still a little festive, my uncle Song Zhenkong's fall is closely related to the three, but in front of the elders, the kid can tell the three that Song Taiping is not a chicken intestine and a small belly, but still has a big picture, Judging from the influence of the three and their actions to build the city and benefit the residents of the city, the kid Song Taiping can laugh and hate!

Sun Binhao, the mysterious chief helmsman of the Pinjin Hall and the former head of the Ministry of Rites, Ling Gongsun Shengwu is one of the fifty allies of my Shifan Alliance, plus because of me, the Red Mansion Gate, the Beggar's Gate, and the Thief Gate have separated from the Pinjin Hall, and we can be regarded as some origins.

Mayors, I won't introduce them one by one, with everyone's identity and strength, they must have known each other, to make a long story short, the mutation of the North Continent and the South Continent will definitely affect our Dayan Empire, the Dayan Empire is about to enter a stormy period, we will face the heavy responsibility of defending the city, protecting the people, and making profits from the export of materials in a short period of time, just to let everyone get enough resources to manufacture weapons and equipment, rather than blindly obtaining gold and silver profits, under the absolute defense of force, these riches are just passing by!

Our eleven cities are only the opening of the model city, this urban pattern will be fully popularized to the Eastern Continent in ten years, I hope you will use the mayor's power carefully, do not appear the phenomenon of greed, otherwise the city's law is also effective for the mayor, in front of the law, don't say that the kid turns his face and does not recognize people!

The science and technology needed for the construction of our city has been improved by leaps and bounds at the existing level, and the mayors are also requested to do a good job of eliminating scum, discovering talents, and reusing talents. What is scum, what is talent, this does not need me to explain to you, everyone has a standard in their hearts, and the general laws of eleven cities also have clear constraints and sanctions! Some talents will have the problem of strange tempers, which need the patient guidance of the elders, and the talent gap in our urban construction is too big. ”
