178, overseas trade, arrived on the new island
Commander Wei soon ordered people to start organizing the construction of the new island, and Chen Chen's eyes were already on overseas exploration. Ξγ(8)Ξ(δΈ)ChineseγΞη½ . οΌβ
Now that the construction work in all aspects has been stabilized, and all aspects have been fixed, it is impossible to make a great improvement, and the only way to do this is to explore overseas as soon as possible.
Thinking of this, Chen Chen began to order people to quickly organize overseas exploration and exploration work, such as some food, water, cannons and other items that must be brought.
Taking advantage of Commander Wei's new island, Chen Chen decided to start exploring overseas, Commander Wei definitely has to sit at home, otherwise it is really a question of whether the country can be safe, and only Commander Wei can rest assured.
The large and small boxes and items were quickly transported to the ship next to the port, the ship had been prepared with Airbus, and a large number of necessary items were also placed, Chen Chen glanced back at everyone, and then quickly jumped on the ship, started the steamer and headed straight overseas.
The roaring sound of the steam engine drove the steamer to ride the wind and waves, and went straight to the distant sea, these steamers are different from sailboats, they are powered by steam engines, I don't know that their degree is dozens of times faster than that of sailboats, although their volume and weight are several times that of sailboats.
In the evening, Commander Wei returned from the new island, and his entourage immediately handed him the letter left by Chen Chen: "Commander Wei, this is left by His Majesty and let the servants hand it over to you?" β
Commander Wei opened the envelope and read it carefully:
Commander Wei, you don't have to worry about my safety during this overseas expedition, everything I know in my heart, overseas exploration is the foundation of the country, this matter must not be sloppy, so I must go in person, but the security of the country is the top priority, and I am extremely uneasy to leave others in charge of the country, so I let you stay in the country, I hope you will do your best not to live up to my expectations.
After reading the letter, Commander Wei had to smile bitterly, His Majesty deceived himself so much for this matter, it can be said that he took great pains, but His Majesty also made sense to think so, the country is unified and life is stable, but it does not mean that the national problem is solved, not to mention the internal and external troubles, the dark tide within the imperial court, and the various business families and the imperial court are even more detached, so although Commander Wei is worried about His Majesty's safety, he has no complaints about His Majesty's arrangement.
Gathering the distractions in his heart, Commander Wei began to do his best to manage the affairs of the country.
At this moment, Chen Chen had already led the steamer on the sea and began to sail, heading towards the goal ahead.
The map in my mind shows that there is a target in the east, the target is several islands, and the further east of the island is a piece of 6 places, according to the current strength, it must not be able to go to the 6 places further east, after all, the road is far away, although this trip brought a lot of materials, fresh water resources and food resources are not a problem, but the number of troops and weapons brought by this trip is still relatively small, after all, it is still the detection stage at the moment, so Chen Chen put the target on several islands.
Compared with the 6 places, although the resources on these islands are limited, but the corresponding garrison resources and defense resources on these islands are also relatively small, which is more suitable for their travel, if they can find a way to take these islands, then rely on these islands as a springboard in the future, and then call the big 6 on the opposite side, such a method is the most realistic, it is impossible to directly lead the army to fight the big 6 countries, right?
Therefore, he could only start from these small islands, so Chen Chen asked people to move the boat closer to several islands.
So how do you log in to the islands? Chen Chen was in trouble all of a sudden, there must be relevant ruling forces on these islands, and he definitely can't directly tell people that I want to fight you here, I want to occupy here, that is simply a head twitch.
How do I log in? Chen Chen suddenly remembered the history of Perry's detention in the history books, Perry originally asked the Japanese shogunate to open the country, but Japan directly refused, and then Perry directly ordered people to threaten with artillery, and finally achieved the goal, so can I try this method today, the more I think about it, the more Chen Chen feels that it can be implemented.
Although this is of an aggressive nature and will bring disaster to the other party, Chen Chen is a little difficult in his heart.
However, Chen Chen thought about it again, historically, aggression will generally break the existing historical framework and social framework, although it will directly bring disaster, but it can promote social progress, not to mention that he has no intention of selling opium to the people, so in this way, Chen Chen also dispelled his worries, and boldly ordered people to go straight to the first island.
Three days later, in the morning, the steamer finally came to the vicinity of the first island, and the official who drove the ship quickly ordered someone to report to Chen Chen: "Your Majesty, now that you have arrived at the destination island, what should you do next?" β
Chen Chen chewed the dried fish, drank water and ate the fruit and said: "Well, since we have arrived, then send someone to go up to see the environment first, and find out what powerful forces are in the place here, if we must be taboo when we do it later." β
"Yes, Your Majesty, the minister will order someone to do it." The official nodded and agreed, and sent someone to probe directly.
"My lord, why do you want to probe secretly? Why don't we just go on the attack? I believe that the spear and cannon cannons cannot be resisted by the other party. "When the soldiers heard this, it was a little difficult for them to understand His Majesty's decision, obviously the target was close at hand, why didn't His Majesty attack.
After listening to the soldier's words, the official glared: "You dare to question Your Majesty's decision, Your Majesty governs the country with benevolence and filial piety, how can you fight and kill at every turn, and you dare to question Your Majesty's morality, don't you want your head anymore." β
"My lord, we don't dare, we don't dare." The soldiers were startled when they heard this, and hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed, who dared to question His Majesty's decision.
The soldiers, under the arrangement of the officials, soon entered the island in a small boat and began to probe the situation inside the island.
And Chen Chen heard the words of the officials inside, and couldn't help but smile secretly, he still governs the country with benevolence and filial piety, if he governs the country with benevolence and filial piety, then the country would have been destroyed by other countries, how can there be today's prosperity?
In the evening, the soldiers returned quickly, and under the guidance of the officers, they came to the cabin to meet His Majesty.
Chen Chen watched the soldiers come back and hurriedly threw down the fruit in his hand and asked, "What is the situation on the island?" β
The soldier hurriedly reported: "Your Majesty, the business on the island is relatively good, the status of merchants here is relatively high, most of the people are mainly handicrafts, this place is called Dingdu County, there are not too many troops in the county, and there are almost no guards, I don't know why." β
Chen Chen was stunned: "There is no army in this place?" "It can't be that there are no armies, it's an island anyway.
"Your Majesty, there is an army in this island, but there is no army in this place!" The soldier saw that Chen Chen had misunderstood, and hurriedly explained. (To be continued.) )
