Chapter 379: The Insatiable Expedition

Looking at Kono, who had lost a lot of weight kneeling in front of him, Tachihara Yamakawa also felt a little emotional, and in just three months, he basically figured out the secret of the Great Qin people's military ship, although this is due to the intelligence officer, but as a technician, he must have paid a lot of sleepless nights.

Seeing that his lord had not spoken for a long time, Kono raised his head, although his face was a little yellow, but his eyes flashed with a burning light, "Lord! ā€

"Well, Kono-kun, you've worked hard for the past few months, and the Tachihara family won't forget you." Tachihara Yamakawa's face showed a rare look of gratitude, and a pair of sharp eyes also contained a hint of excitement.

"Lord!"

Kono knocked his head on the ground again, tears flashing in his eyes, and then he raised his head and said in a slightly whimpering voice, "Kono will repay the trust of the lord with his life." ā€

"Very good, my Liyuan family can dominate the land and cross the ocean, it all depends on you loyal courtiers." Tachihara Yamakawa's face was already restored, and he looked at the magnificent giant military ship by the dock outside the window, and asked, "When will this ship be completed?" ā€

"Back to the lord, we will be able to launch the sea trial in half a month, but I am worried that the quality of our lacquer is not as good as that of the Daqin people, and maybe the durability of the warship will be affected." When it comes to the military ships he designed and built himself, Kono is immediately full of confidence.

"Well, I know, I will immediately arrange for someone to try to buy it on the mainland, and our Liyuan family's military ships must not be worse than others." Tachihara Yamakawa had a proud look on his face.

"Then it would be great, if the ship is normal after the sea trial, my lord, then we can build it on a large scale." Kono excitedly built yƬ road.

"Well, everything is in place, only the east wind is owed. Now it is just a matter of waiting for the results of the sea trials. ā€

There was also a faint hint of red tide on the slender face of the mountains and rivers of Liyuan, and the hard work of many years was about to be realized in one day, how could this not make him feel excited, with enough strength, the rest was up to him to seize the opportunity to complete the great cause of unifying the land.

Back at the wooden house in Isoban Castle, Tachihara Yamakawa immediately fell into a state of contemplation. It wasn't until the ghostly Maori Centurion sneaked in that he woke up from his thoughts, and when he saw his henchman in front of him, Tachihara nodded slightly, and then asked, "How are those sides, what's the movement?" ā€

"There haven't been any major moves yet, but the Wind Demon Stream activities of the Tianqiu family have begun to become frequent, and I'm worried that they will get some rumors and want to spy on the secrets of our military ship." Maori Centurion described the cold finish. Kneel with your back straight.

"What?!" Tachihara Yamakawa's eyebrows furrowed, and he couldn't help but ask, "How did they learn about this?" ā€

"The subordinates judged that it was probably because of the martial law in the outer harbor of Isoban in the past few months, and the obviously unusual security measures might arouse their suspicions, so they had to send ninjas to spy on them. His subordinates have spotted the whereabouts of the Storm Demon Stream in the vicinity of the Outer Harbor several times. The Maori centurion calmly voiced his judgment.

"Oh?"

The mountains and rivers of Tachihara can no longer remain calm at this time, and the secret of the warship is the key to the rise of his family, and he must not let anyone know, "Maori-kun, this matter should not be underestimated. You need to pay attention to it, and you should immediately arrange manpower to step up the precautions. There must be no negligence, and if anyone trespasses on the forbidden land, they will be killed, and we must ensure that this time passes safely, as long as we enter the stage of large-scale construction, until then. It doesn't matter if the Shengbi family and the Tianqiu family know. ā€

"My subordinates understand." Maori Centaur is the first to say.

"By the way, what's going on over there?" Tatehara Yamakawa turned his gaze to the west, his eyes full of fanatical light.

"The Great Qin people have strengthened their defenses recently, and the patrols of the fleet have also increased, and the whereabouts of their first and second fleets have been discovered near the Ryukyu Islands and Kamchatka. There are no major changes in the defense of the Great Pearl Islands, the 2nd Corps of the Milanese Army suffered great losses in the battle with the Mache Khans, almost completely annihilated, and it is planned to be rebuilt this year, and it is said that Louis XI will increase the investment in the army, in comparison, the navy may not be able to take care of it. ā€

"However, recently, a detachment of the Third Fleet of the Great Qin people has been stationed on Huludao Island in the Northern Pearl Islands for a long time, and they continue to build vigorously on this island leased from the Milanese, and it seems that it has expanded into a medium-sized military port." The Maori Centurion is in charge of the intelligence system and knows everything about everything.

"Oh? The Great Qin people have strengthened their vigilance? Why? Tachihara Yamakawa suddenly became nervous.

"The lord doesn't have to worry, I think it's because the Emperor of the Apocalypse went to the Zhoushan Islands to spend the summer, the emperor's safety is naturally the most important, and the main worry is the attack of some pirates who don't have long eyes." The Maori Centurion is sturdy.

"Oh, I see, the Emperor of the Apocalypse has gone to Pulan Mountain to escape the summer again? Hmph, this old thing really has a lot of leisure for a day, and the country is surging, and he seems to be fine. Tachihara Yamakawa looked disdainful.

"Maybe he's smiling at the situation, and I'll not move."

Maori Baifu also quoted two sentences of the Great Qin people, the thick and concise history and culture of the Great Qin people is really a spring and snow for the short and crude history of the Japanese people, and they have always admired it for a long time.

"Wrong, Maori-kun, he is irresponsible to his subjects as an emperor, and he is giving up opportunities, and he is also giving us Japanese people opportunities." Tachihara Yamakawa said with a solemn face.

In June of the eighteenth year of the Apocalypse, a large group of nobles led by Zhuang Liqiang, the deputy minister of the Imperial Ministry of Rites, and a large group of nobles from the Advisory Council arrived in Longdong and began to visit the Northwest and North Loulan of the Empire, which was a routine inspection activity of the Empire every three years, mainly by the nobles of the Imperial Ministries and the Advisory Council to inspect the government affairs and public conditions in various parts of the Empire, and then gradually evolved into the best way for the nobles of the Empire to travel and solicit bribes.

When visiting the ceramic industry base in Longdong County, nearly 100 nobles wantonly took the valuable porcelain of the local kiln owners and openly asked for bribes, which aroused the strong dissatisfaction of the kiln owners, but because of the identity of the other party, the merchants could only swallow their anger.

Stimulated by the rich harvest in Longdong, the delegation quickly went north to Meishan County, and after learning about the wealth of the salt merchants and wine merchants in Meishan County, the nobles visited from house to house like blood-sucking locusts, or threatened or intimidated, and frantically demanded money and goods. Local merchants fled and went out to take refuge.

The nobles did not give up, and demanded that the county guard of Meishan County severely punish those merchants who evaded the "noble nobles' reception" in the name of disobedience, and that they should be rewarded with certainty. (To be continued......)
