Chapter 230: Three Years of Development (Subscription Requested!! )
Since he was slashing the world to unify the six countries, sure enough, everything was as Lin Fan thought, and the time and space barriers surrounding the borders of the original six countries had all disappeared.
With the Calradia Continent at his feet, the Charonai Continent in the east, the Barrion Continent in the west, the Ice and Snow Continent in the north, the nomadic desert in the south, and the super-large islands of Dabaran near overseas, there are still many territories that Lin Fan has not been able to explore for the time being, and the entire riding and slashing world has been completely open to him, and there are no longer any restrictions and obstacles.
It's just that with the current strength and heritage of the Shenlong Empire, it is not easy to digest the territory in front of you, so it is better not to be too ambitious.
Not to mention anything else, even if the original territory of the six countries is combined, it is actually only a small part of the Calradia continent, and Lin Fan is unwilling to rashly push the country's production level to the modern level, so the current land area is already very good.
Let's develop slowly for a while, and after all the gains this time are completely digested and absorbed, at most, I am considering completely occupying the entire Calradia Continent, as for the remaining continents that are too far away, that Lin Fan is really too much to reach.
After all, Lin Fan is not a crazy war maniac, the pursuit of immortality is the most important thing for him at present, the power background or something, it is enough to help him better cultivate and become an immortal, and it is not much good to be greedy too much.
The reason why he had to eliminate those five countries was that he was on the side of the couch, so that others could not be allowed to snore, and the more important reason was that Lin Fan wanted to completely lift the restrictions on himself from the time and space shield in the world.
I don't know why, it may be some kind of special limitation, or it may be a special number of three, at present, the world that Lin Fan can cross is only the modern world, the world of riding and chopping, and the world of great navigation.
Therefore, Lin Fan couldn't help but guess that maybe three is a special number, so the bottleneck here will be relatively large, and some special conditions must be met in order to really open the next world, and the appearance of the space-time barrier is actually a reminder for himself.
With the complete disappearance of the space-time barriers in the riding and slashing world, Lin Fan really felt that he was much more relaxed, and the obstacles in front of him really became much weaker because of this, but even so, it was still a lot worse, and Lin Fan still couldn't immediately open the next new world.
Is it really only possible to see the side of the Great Voyage World? It's just that the seven seas there are so vast, even if they really open up all kinds of hanging, it will take at least ten or twenty years to develop before it is possible to truly unify the seven seas.
It's just that by that time, I will already be in my forties, not to mention some flaws that may be exposed, just because I am so old, even if I open a new world, will I have a chance to gain immortality? Lin Fan was deeply worried about this.
………………………………
In any case, let's attack Dongying first, and then there may be a turnaround.
After this period of development and exploration, Lin Fan discovered something interesting in Dongying, which was in the chaotic period of the Warring States Period, and many of the characters and backgrounds in it were very similar to a game he had played, and that game was - Taige Legend 5!
Since your own traversal ability is closely related to the game, if you can dominate Dongying, you may have unexpected breakthroughs and changes.
At that time, the obstacle of the space-time barrier will definitely be further weakened because of this, and Lin Fan's strength will be further enhanced, even if he forcibly breaks through the obstacle, it may not be impossible to achieve.
Therefore, no matter what, it is not wrong to attack Dongying first, anyway, he has already occupied an absolute advantage on the sea before, and now that the unification of the riding and slashing world has been completed, it is time to free up his hands to attack this side.
………………………………
Unconsciously, three years have passed, even though Dongying's comprehensive strength is very strong, with a population of 20 million people alone, but in the face of Lin Fan's various whale swallowing and plundering, in the end, Dongying's local forces are still constantly losing and retreating.
Kyushu, Shikoku, and Ezo, the three smaller big islands, have all been completely captured and occupied by Lin Fan, even the largest Honshu island, has been captured by Lin Fan a full third, as many as more than 30 daimyo have all been wiped out and annexed by Lin Fan, under the elimination of the other, even if all the remaining daimyo are united, they are no longer the opponent of the Shenlong Empire that has grown into a behemoth.
Now under the different forces of the Shenlong Empire, all the combined populations have reached more than 23 million, while on the other hand, the local forces of Dongying are only more than 13 million, and the current strength and heritage comparison between the two sides has been completely reversed.
Regarding Lin Fan's move from the Ming Dynasty to take in the displaced people, the Ming court still found out, after all, it had already taken in 15 million Chinese people.
It's just that during this period, the Ming Dynasty lacked everything, that is, there was no shortage of population, and due to too much population pressure and frequent domestic contradictions, Lin Fan's move really reduced a lot of trouble for the Ming Dynasty, just like the bloodletting treatment commonly used in the ancient West, although it must damage the foundation, but at least it can solve the temporary difficulty.
And those officials that Lin Fan secretly controlled, with Lin Fan's strong support and funding, many of them are now in high positions, Lin Fan has really shown extraordinary miracles, in the face of his devout gods, these officials naturally tried their best to say good things for Lin Fan, plus all kinds of bribes and up and down, and in the end, these things will be over.
After all, although Lin Fan had taken away more than 15 million Chinese people, his actions had always been very obscure, and the court officials had deceived and concealed them, so in the end, no one knew what the actual number was, and the court thought that it would be a population of more than 1 million at most, and I heard that it was still shipped overseas, so there was no problem.
The basic national policy of the Ming Dynasty now, that is to close the country, as long as it is transported overseas, not to spy on the Central Plains, then even if you move big, what does it matter!
Anyway, on the side of the Ming Dynasty, the court is still immersed in the dream of the Heavenly Empire, so Lin Fan doesn't have to care too much.
