The chief general Liu Quan's staff arched his hand to the two and said: "Our army is indeed a new defeat on the waterway, but it has won a big victory on land, and the soldiers are forcing the Xiangyang city wall------. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

The navy can lose ten times in a row, and the army only needs to win once, and the affairs of the world can be settled, I don't know what the two adults think? ”

What this guy said made sense, and the two had nothing to say for a while.

In the end, the two discussed it themselves, and prepared to adopt a half-push and half-push strategy to see how the situation in the world develops.

They treated the man well and sent him away.

If there is a war in the world at this time, what benefits can they get from it?

If smuggling has no future, how about sneaking a peek at some of the old trades?

They set their sights on the merchant ships around Liuqiu Island, and as long as they grabbed a ship, they would be rich!

But the warships of the Liuqiu Guards are really annoying, and they still escort them!

For a while, the two really had nothing to do but wait patiently for the opportunity.

Where did Zhang Guoan think that there would be people in the Great Song Dynasty who hated him? And it can be regarded as an internal system------ he is arranging many actions with all his heart.

The Ryukyu prince was so excited that he urged to join the war.

After he returned to the Badaohe area with Deputy Captain Guo Beyu from Ha Long Bay, he immediately applied to join the operation on Shandong Road.

Zhang Guoan, the island owner, shook his head and said: "You want to train your troops by fighting, this is the right way of thinking, but you are not suitable to go to the north to fight, if you want to train your troops, I personally think that you should go to occupy the city, that is where you train your troops." ”

He drew some team members stationed in Halong Bay, but it was impossible to give up the energy supply base that was easily developed here.

If the Ryukyu army wants to join, it is also a good thing, just to help themselves protect their interests there.

Zhang Guoan, the owner of the island, said: "The winter in the north is too cold, it is not something you can imagine, if you are willing to go to Ha Long Bay, I can give you the same supply of armaments, and you will handle the affairs there!" ”

The Ryukyu prince thought about it and agreed, and the words of the island lord Zhang were always right.

Zhang Guoan's current armament supply capacity has greatly increased, and the atmospheric steam engine has finally been made by a group of Great Song Dynasty craftsmen------ but it is a pity that it can only be low-pressure.

However, this level also exceeds the output power of the vacuum type, not to mention the saving in volume, which helps to save power loss.

Hu Zhenbei, the director of the factory, pointed to the nearly two-meter-high moving wheel and said: "Zhang Island, as soon as this thing comes out, the world will shake, its power output is extremely stable, what wind, water, livestock power is not an opponent, this is the extreme of machinery." ”

At that time, Zhang Guoan, the owner of the island, said with a wry smile: "Where can I reach the extreme? I'm going to laugh when my friend comes back! ”

Director Hu Zhenbei's eyes widened at that time and said, "What does this mean? The slider and the steam chamber alone cost me a month of grinding, what else?? ”

"It's not enough, it's far from enough, such a big device, not enough five horsepower! ------ talk about it later! ”

Director Hu Zhenbei scratched his scalp and thought, this is much easier to use than the so-called vacuum, and there is something better?!

He can only believe that there is, and there is not a single time that the owner of Zhang Island is not right.

The Liuqiu Badaohe area was fully mobilized for this operation, and the Liuqiu team members stepped on their own warships one by one, and their armaments were also transported at the same time, and the entire dock area was in a hurry.

At this time, some trade and transportation were affected, but Zhang Guoan, the owner of the island, didn't care, this was an important blow, either to make Liuqiu Island have a major change, or to make the Tatar bandit group completely unhappy, he couldn't stand under the stage and watch.

The crossing is to change his own destiny, but he has to change other people's first, which is not love but practical need.

On the contrary, the merchants in the Badaohe area were very supportive of Zhang Guoan's actions, for the simple reason that they found that every time they sent troops, it seemed that the Badaohe area could be developed more and business would be better.

Lu Xiong, the director of the Lu Group here, strongly supported it, and he even made a special trip to meet with Zhang Guoan, the owner of the island, and proposed to reward the Liuqiu Guard.

But what he didn't expect was that Zhang Guoan, the owner of the island, did not say anything, and also proposed commercial cooperation projects, such as planting cotton on the Shandong Peninsula.

Don't expect cotton production in the Xiangfan region this year, and even the corn and various potatoes they grow are cheaper than the Tatar army.

However, cotton will still be urgently needed.

Zhang Guoan, the owner of the island, said with a smile: "Do you plan to go to Shandong to organize people to grow cotton and other commercial crops?" ”

Shandong topography, with a protrusion in the middle, is the main mountainous and hilly area; The eastern peninsula is mostly undulating and gently undulating hilly areas; The western and northern parts are plains formed by the alluvial accumulation of the Yellow River.

The landform types in China include medium-sized mountains, low-type mountains, hills, platforms, basins, plains, lakes and other types. Mountains and hills account for about 33% of the total area, and the remaining two-thirds are mainly plains.

So it's a great place to grow cash crops.

Lu Xiong's eyes widened and said, "It can actually be planted in a war zone??" ”

"Yes, if you are damaged, the Liuqiu Guards will cover the losses, all the losses! You can talk to other merchants about this and see if there are any ------ willing to cooperate."

As a result, Lu Xiong really contacted them, but no one dared to follow up, Lu Xiong thought about it for a long time, but he didn't dare to go.

Zhang Guoan, the owner of the island, did not blame them, this kind of method similar to armed colonization was beyond their comprehension.

War will definitely bring benefits!

Of course, this is only for the side that wins.

When it was time to leave, the entire team of the Liuqiu Guards set off.

On this day, almost everyone went to the dock to say goodbye------ and the people who really developed here were concerned about the outcome of this time, and even the families of many Japanese and Korean mercenaries came to the dock to say goodbye, and they also knew that as long as they won, their gains would be huge.

Zhang Guoan, the owner of the island, sent them alone, he released more than half of the troops, worried that there would still be some, but they would at least respond there.

Yao Mai had already transported most of the family's business here, and it went without saying that it was impossible for him to betray here.

Wherever wealth is sent, he will definitely be the most trusted, this is basic common sense.

Dozens of warships and merchant ships left the port one after another, which took half a day.

The departure of each ship caused cheers from the send-off people at the docks------ who knew that those who went out to fight would basically suffer very few casualties and gain a lot.

Everyone said that Zhang Guoan, the owner of the island, cherishes his soldiers like a son.

So, this send-off scene makes everyone happy------

Zhang Guoan took out his own cigarette pouch, pinched some tobacco out, and slowly pressed it into the smoke pot------ at this time, Hu Zhenbei, the director of the factory, came over and asked for some.

He slipped the match and asked strangely, "Why don't you look so happy?" ”

"Maybe it's too soon------"

"Don't say that, they're so much stronger than the rabble!"

"I hope it ------" (To be continued.) )
