Chapter 674: A New Discovery of the Family
Since coming to the construction of the Golden State, the construction speed of several major families has also been rapid.
The heritage of the family is incomparably deep.
In addition, the Golden State is also extremely rich in natural resources.
They can build by exploiting the natural resources here.
You can also take some nearby resources to Datang to sell them to form sustainable development.
However, the only thing that makes them unhappy is that their current development is still subject to the King of Shu.
No matter how secretive they are, no matter how tightly they guard against it.
But as long as their development is a little out of line, a little out of bounds, where the King of Shu is, they will be able to know immediately.
Then, immediately, the giant ship will be ordered to stop transporting.
Once the transportation is stopped, their construction will come to a standstill.
Faced with this situation, the Maison has only two ways to deal with it.
The first point is that unless they are in the Golden State and can be completely self-sufficient.
In this way, there is no need to transport goods from Datang at all, and there will be no longer restrictions from the King of Shu.
Of course, they can't completely cut off the connection with Datang.
It is impossible to completely disconnect between the Golden State and Datang, and there will be no contact between old and dead.
The second point is that they themselves build a giant ship that can sail far, so that they don't need to look at the face of the King of Shu anymore.
However, it is clear that they have a huge ship in their hands, and they can observe and learn at any time.
However, the scientific research members cultivated by their family found that even if they could understand some principles, they could not make them at all.
What's more, in many places, they can't even understand the principle at all.
I don't know what it does.
The more they studied, the more shocked they became.
In the end, it was concluded that the technology of the giant ship of the Chinese Commercial Bank was at least fifty or even a hundred years ahead of them.
That is, if they want to build such a huge ship, it will take at least fifty to a hundred years.
Well, if Li Su knows what they think.
Li Su may tell them, you guys, think too much.
Even if you are given a hundred years, you will probably be able to create such a huge ship.
This is a system product, and it is not much better than the giant ships of later generations.
There's so much advanced technology in it.
Even if it is their Huaxia Commercial Bank, they dare not guarantee that within fifty years, they will be able to create a giant ship with the same technological content.
Not to mention them.
Of course, in fact, if these great families just want to make ships that can sail far, they can do it.
But in terms of speed and volume, the difference is too great.
According to their scientific and technological capabilities, they will be able to build ships that travel between Datang and the Golden State within ten years.
But in terms of speed, it can take about a year for them to arrive.
If it weren't for the giant ship first, they might be able to accept this speed.
But now that they have a giant wheel of pearls on their side, how can they accept such a snail-like speed?
In addition, they need a fleet of about a dozen or even dozens of ships to keep up with the volume of a huge ship.
This gap is too big.
Especially, it will take them another ten years.
It also consumes a lot of manpower, material and financial resources.
Such a result is unacceptable to the family.
Now, they are at the mercy of others.
There are not many of them in the land of Datang.
Because the development in the Golden State is getting faster and smoother.
But because the territory is too small, the faster it develops, the greater the constraints.
And they dare not overstep, and every time they transgress, they will bring trouble.
Therefore, they can only take the land of Datang again and again in exchange for the land on the side of the Golden State.
So far, there are really not many of them in the land of Datang.
It's basically reached their bottom line.
The rest of the land, it is unlikely that they will be able to trade it again.
But the current territory, for them, is far from enough.
As a result, the development of these major families fell into a bottleneck for a while.
Between these great families, there is opposition and cooperation.
Of course, because they are fighting against the imperial power.
Therefore, they marry each other, and cooperation is greater than opposition.
And now, even more so.
In Datang, what they have to face is imperial power.
In the Golden State, they faced the more powerful King of Shu.
Therefore, they had to cooperate.
The work of making and researching the giant ship continues.
But they didn't expect much from this.
If it takes at least fifty to a hundred years to research and develop the giant ship.
They couldn't wait that long.
For fifty to one hundred years, he was unanimously subject to the King of Shu, and he could only be confined to such a small place.
So, what can Huaxia City develop in 50 to 100 years?
When the time comes, where will there be a place for them in the entire Golden State?
And if they don't develop giant ships, they only develop seagoing ships that can pass through them.
The cost of input is too great, and the performance of the finished product is too low.
They can't stand it.
Therefore, they are increasing their efforts and devoting themselves to scientific research.
On the other hand, the ten great families are working together to find different solutions.
In hundreds of years of development, they have always believed in one truth.
That's the solution, not one.
Sometimes, if you think about the problem from a different angle, you may be able to get a better solution.
And eventually, they actually discovered the New World.
Follow the Datang Road to the north, through the Extreme Cold Land, and then east.
They were amazed to find that they only needed to cross a shallow strait to reach the Golden State.
Of course, the size of the Golden State is too big.
After coming to the Golden State from here, it was still a long way to get to their fiefdom.
However, this is all real land.
The strait here is easy to cross.
On land, no matter how far away it is, at least for them, it is still easy to overcome.
Since in terms of shipbuilding technology, we are not comparable to the Chinese Commercial Bank.
Whatever it is, it's better to avoid this field.
We are only better than what we can do on land.
Well, here, in fact, there are some errors between their cognition and the actual geographical location of later generations.
In later generations, the Golden State simply referred to a small area.
And in this era, the Golden State, refers to the whole of the Americas.
How big is the whole of America?
Which one, it's too vast.
This magical discovery gave birth to a bold idea.
Since it's so vast.
Moreover, the waterway they discovered had not even been discovered by the King of Shu.
This path, even the King of Shu shouldn't know, right?
Moreover, although the emperor divided the entire Golden State to the King of Shu.
But strictly speaking, the entire Golden State is not the territory of Datang at all.
Why do you give this place to your ministers?
This land is borderless land at all!
If it is said that on top of the territory they exchanged for Datang, they must also accept the supervision of Datang and accept the restrictions of Datang.
Well, this new world they discovered.
Although the same is in the Golden State.
But it is even farther away from Huaxia City.
King Shu, in a short period of time, it is impossible to discover this new continent.
If that's the case, wouldn't the ten major families be able to develop this place together?
Use this as a stronghold, quickly develop it, and then open up the territory they built before.
And then little by little it grows.
To develop these lands, they feel that it will only take twenty or thirty years to build this place into a country.
Of course, it is the population problem that restricts them.
But they have already thought of a way, which is to encourage production.
Anyway, the land here is very fertile.
As long as you plow it casually, you can reap a good harvest.
There is no fear of not being able to feed such a large number of people.
In that case, let them work hard to reproduce.
Is there a lack of women?
They, having set their eyes on the Eastern Slavs.
The Eastern Slavs are the Russians of later generations.
Of course, in this era, their tools are already relatively advanced.
But it still exists in the form of tribes, and there are constant conquests between tribes.
During this period, they did not have a state formation.
Their strength is also extremely limited.
Therefore, the alliance of these families, decided to unite their forces and plunder the tribes of these Eastern Slavs.
Plunder all their wealth and transfer the population to the Golden State.
Then, let them multiply.
There is a population, reproduction is encouraged, and each family has at least five or six children.
If you give birth to more, there will be a reward.
When the time comes, it is believed that the population will soon become more and more.
Moreover, they decided to use the territory occupied by the Eastern Slavs as a stronghold for them.
Although it is extremely cold here, it is regarded as a barren land by the Tang people.
And it's not just the Tang Dynasty.
In ancient dynasties, when their national strength was strong, they were not incapable of occupying these places.
But they felt that there was no need to occupy such a cold and barren land.
These places, even if they are sent to the door, they may not want them.
They feel that the land of the Central Plains is the richest place in the world.
But now, these people from the family don't think so.
Well, in fact, the people of the family don't really like it here.
But they have to build a base here.
The base here can be used as a hub between Datang and the Golden State.
Transporting supplies from Datang to here, and from here, to the northern part of the Golden State.
From the northern part of the Golden State, to the base they are currently building.
These bases, they can even build kingdoms in all of them.
Of course, even though they have a deep family experience.
But it is also unrealistic to build so many empires.
They have to focus on what they want and make trade-offs.
These trade-offs can be made slowly in the process of construction, according to the progress of construction, and it is not too late.
Next, the alliance formed by these families began to prepare.
Prepare for the next attack on the East Slavic tribes.
……
These families actually have huge strength in secret.
For example, their family's nursing home, there are thousands of people, both openly and secretly.
Their car dealership, and their dart game - of course, now these people have all changed careers.
The train shop has long been replaced by the freight of passenger cars and trains.
The dart game, since the China Express, is now no one cares about it, and it has long been closed.
But in the past, there were dart boards in the car dealership, and there were guys who walked boats.
In fact, these are all secret forces that the family can pull together at any time and can form an army in a short period of time.
Although in recent years, car dealerships and darts have ceased to exist.
But these people are still there.
It's just that they've been relegated to other industries.
Now that they are needed, they can be pulled out directly, and then they will be given armor and weapons, and an army can be formed.
The top ten families, together together, can actually make up 50,000 horses.
These 50,000 horses and horses are naturally not comparable to the Tang army.
However, if these 50,000 horses were pulled to the Eastern Slavs, it would be a rolling torrent.
These 50,000 people, of course, they did not dare to assemble in a swaggering manner in the territory of Datang.
Instead, it was broken into parts, and all the people were quietly pulled out of the customs first.
It wasn't until they were far away from the border of the Tang Dynasty that they turned into a whole and gathered together to form a strong team.
This team, led by Cui Zhixin, began to march towards the territory of the Eastern Slavs.
This time, Cui Zhixin's task is also relatively arduous.
He needed to lead 50,000 soldiers and horses and integrate the whole of East Slavia.
Unify them all, all of them.
And then there, build a base that serves as a transit point between Datang and the Golden State.
……
All this, these ten families, think that what they are doing is very secret.
It's just that what they didn't expect at all was that their every move actually fell into the intelligence of Tang Emperor Li Ke.
Soon, a piece of information was placed in front of Li Ke.
"What? These people from the family have broken into pieces and gathered 50,000 soldiers and horses? ”
"What are they going to do? Is it a rebellion? ”
After Li Ke finished asking, an old wrestler immediately said: "Emperor Qiqi, after the 50,000 soldiers and horses of this family were assembled, they went straight to the north without the slightest stop, or the intention of attacking us. ”
After hearing the news, Li Su couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
50,000 soldiers and horses, if they are unprepared, maybe, can really cause a turmoil.
But if you just assemble like this, and attack the officers and soldiers in a bright and bright way, it is really not enough to see.
In other words, the Maison's move does not seem to be aimed at Datang.
They went to the north, the north, what is there?
What do they want to do?
Isn't the focus of their development clearly placed in the Golden State?
Why did you do it to the north?
After thinking about it for a long time, Li Ke never understood the essentials.
I couldn't help but say to my subordinate wrestlers: "Go, pass this news to the King of Shu." ”
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Soon, the history in charge of intelligence passed on the news.
And the emperor Li Ke ordered his ministers to pay close attention to the movements of these 50,000 soldiers and horses.
However, the emperor's eyes and ears quickly lost the trace of the 50,000 army.
The reason is that they went all the way north, and they walked very quickly and quickly, and they never stopped.
And these eyes and ears of the emperor, if they are in the town, they can naturally spy on the news.
But once out of town and into the wilderness, they would not dare to follow the army.
If they are discovered, they will inevitably die.
This news was quickly passed on to the emperor.
After learning the news, Emperor Li Ke frowned again and pondered.
It seems that the goal of the people of the family is indeed in the north.
But what are their plans in the north?
It seems that he can only wait for the reply from the king of Shu.
Li Ke believed that the King of Shu must know what they wanted to do.
……
At this time, Cui Zhixin was leading the army and marching towards the territory of East Slavia.
The further north you go, the cooler it gets.
The soldiers he led, although they had been prepared for a long time, had prepared their cotton clothes early.
But where the climate, it's too cold.
Even if you wear cotton clothes, it is difficult to withstand the cold.
The cold was pervasive, making them shiver.
At night, even though the firewood is raised, it still feels cold.
There are constantly soldiers who get frostbitten, and once they get frostbitten, it is very difficult to heal.
This situation made Cui Zhixin very anxious.
He had to speed up the march again.
As long as you get to the territory of the Eastern Slavs, you may be able to find a solution to the problem.
They marched at a faster pace, and after a few days they finally reached the first tribe of the Eastern Slavs.
This is a small tribe, and the total population of this tribe is only about 30,000 people.
There are only a few more than a thousand adult men in this tribe.
Of course, the original number is much more than that.
But because of the war between the tribes, they lost a lot of adult males.
In the face of the 50,000 troops of the Family Alliance, they basically did not make a decent resistance, and surrendered obediently.
Later generations said that the Eastern Slavs were brave and fearless.
In World War II, there was even more, to kill an Eastern Slav, it took two shots and a push before he fell.
And in fact, the Eastern Slavs, not so strong.
In their original history, they were ruled by the Mongols for more than 200 years.
Their leader had to go to Mongolia every year to worship.
Kowtow to the Mongols, let the Mongols put their feet on their heads, and then they return to continue to be their leader.
In the face of absolute strength, they are not as unyielding, brave and tenacious as they themselves say.
In order to survive, they can actually bow their noble heads and bow down to others.
Even in the heyday of this tribe, it would not be their opponent.
Therefore, they are very aware of the current affairs and choose to surrender.
At this point, the armies of these families can finally live in the houses of ease.
The languages of the two sides are naturally incomprehensible.
However, when he came, Cui Zhixin had already expected this situation.
He had already prepared a translator.
Now in Datang, there are a lot of talents.
Especially translators.
Basically, the nationalities that have explained to Datang can find translators from their countries or nationalities.
And in the family, this kind of talent will inevitably be cultivated.
Through the translation, Cui Zhixin asked these East Slavs how they kept out the cold.
Then the conclusion he got made Cui Zhixin extremely speechless.
It turns out that people dare to use cold water outside to water their bodies directly in ice and snow weather.
They are not afraid of the cold at all.
And when Cui Zhixin asked how to treat frostbite, fortunately, even though their physique was special.
But in fact, you can also get frostbitten.
Treatments for frostbite and medicines, they are available.
After using their medicine, the frostbitten soldiers quickly recovered.
And the next time, the Eastern Slavs, who were conquered by them, were extremely cooperative.
They told Cui Zhixin in detail about the distribution of several surrounding tribes and their strength.
Moreover, they were willing to act as pawns and lead them against these tribes.
The progress of things is much smoother than Cui Zhixin imagined.
Cui Zhixin was overjoyed.
led the first tribe they occupied, and soon, they swept away several surrounding tribes.
It only took a few months for them to take control of a large area.
On top of that, they perfectly controlled the access to the Golden State.
Now, the passage from Datang to here, and from here to the Golden State, is already unimpeded.
They gave it a name, Ice City.
It means that the city here is frozen and extremely cold.
They don't have a map of this area of Ice City.
There is no visual comparison of the size of this area.
But faintly, Cui Zhixin felt that the area of Ice City did not seem to be much smaller than that of Datang.
Even if it's smaller than the Golden State, I'm afraid it's not that small.
In this area, they only control a small area.
In fact, it would be a great thing to be able to establish a country here.
It's just that it's too cold and resources are scarce, so it's not a good place.
Here, it's far less than the Golden State.
For the time being, the place they control is enough.
Wait until it stabilizes and opens this channel.
They could control more of the Eastern Slavic tribes and then transport all of their people to the Golden State.
Men, let them do coolies.
And the women were rewarded to the Tang people, and each of them asked for at least seven or eight women, so that they might have more children.
And children, in more than ten years, can grow up.
When I was fifteen or sixteen years old, I could have children again.
If you breed like this, it won't take a few decades for the population to explode.
And now Cui Zhixin's task is to build this place well.
Take control of these Eastern Slavs under their control and order them to build a smooth road.
With this path, they would be able to quickly get rid of the Shu King's control over them.
Of course, things are not going to be smooth sailing, and there are still many problems in this.
