The turmoil in Jicheng lasted for a day, with tens of thousands of players involved in the battle, causing untold damage. Whether it is in Jicheng or the player camp on the outskirts, you can see ruined and burned buildings everywhere, as if they have been swept away by thieves. The king of Yan had to dispatch tens of thousands of troops to impose martial law in the whole city to control the riots in the city, but outside the city.

The four giants, including the blood-colored sky, the confused, the bright moon of the year, and the second emperor of Qin, hurriedly returned to Jicheng and did their best to quell the riots between the various player forces. Seeing the mess in Jicheng, saying that their hearts are not secretly on fire, that is false.

But what they also say, they just gather their own forces and force them out of the chaotic fight.

The riots were mainly attended by players from the five major forces, and their men and horses stopped, and the riots outside the city basically subsided. The remaining players who took advantage of the fire did not dare to do it again and disappeared.

The various chambers of commerce began to clean up the ruins and count the damage. The backbone of the players of the five major forces all reported their losses to their bosses. This riot was mainly between the strongest Sky Chamber of Commerce and the second strongest Mixed Chamber of Commerce, as well as the fifth Northern Hell Chamber of Commerce, the third Bright Moon Chamber of Commerce and the fourth Second Chamber of Commerce. The rest of the large and small forces were either killed by the fish pond or took advantage of the fire to rob them.

The strength of the five giants has suffered losses to varying degrees, especially Qin II, who suffered the most serious losses. His power was attacked by the forces of the two giants at the same time, and the chassis of his power shrank significantly, and he was almost excluded from the list of the five giants.

In addition, there is the conflict between the Sky Chamber of Commerce and the Mongolian Chamber of Commerce, and the losses on both sides are serious.

The one who benefited the most from this conflict was the Northern Hell Chamber of Commerce, followed by the Bright Moon Chamber of Commerce. They have embezzled a large amount of territory that originally belonged to the Nishi Chamber of Commerce. The strength is faintly tied with the Sky Chamber of Commerce and the Confused Chamber of Commerce.

After the Big Five cleaned up the mess in Jicheng, they met once. This is not the first time that such a fight has occurred between the five major forces, but the scale has not been so large or fierce before.

The blood-colored sky, the confusion, the bright moon of the year, and the four of Qin II all looked at Beiming with strange eyes, complicated, surprised, and secretly nodded in approval and hatred. They all have their own ideas.

The bloody sky said, "Brother Beiming." Can you give a reasonable explanation? Why is there a riot of this scale in Jicheng after you return to Jicheng? ”

Beiming knew what they would ask. Zhengse said: "Brother Sky, although I have no obligation to explain to you. But I still want to explain. Please don't put all the blame on me alone. The cause of this riot was the defeat of the water war with the Zhoushui Alliance, the turmoil in the people's hearts, and the lack of compensation for all kinds of land, which was used by some well-intentioned people. I can restrain my men, but I can't restrain yours. Especially the people of the second brother. He looked at Qin II, "I led people to settle disputes in the city, but the second brother's subordinates slandered me and I targeted them." The result was a riot. As for the later on, it became more and more noisy. Involving other chambers of commerce has nothing to do with me. I am being held accountable. I won't accept that. ”

Qin II said angrily, "It has nothing to do with you? You're the only one in the city among the five of us, who are you fooling! Don't dare to do it! ”

Bei Ming said unhurriedly: "Second brother." Are you saying that I will take the Bright Moon Chamber of Commerce, the Sky Chamber of Commerce, and the Blind Chamber of Commerce together? If I had such great ability to mobilize the energy of the five major chambers of commerce in the capital, it would not be the second brother's turn to teach me a lesson today. said that it has nothing to do with me, it just doesn't matter. ”

Qin II looked at the bright moon, the blood-colored sky, the confusion and others, and said angrily: "Okay, Hangukou base, I'll quit!" The four have excellent strength, continue to play slowly, little brother, I admit it today, so I won't accompany you! After saying that, he threw up his sleeves and left.

The blood-colored sky was stunned, and wanted to leave Qin II behind, but he didn't speak.

The situation is stronger than people, and the strength of the II Chamber of Commerce has been seriously damaged, and it is no longer qualified to argue with the other four. Although Qin II was indignant, there was nothing he could do, unless he could recover his strength, he could only find a place to honestly wait for his wounds, temporarily withdraw from competing with the other four, and wait for the recovery of his strength.

It is impossible to figure out the real cause of this riot, and how many transactions were made behind the scenes.

The Northern Hell Chamber of Commerce and the Bright Moon Chamber of Commerce have attacked the II Chamber of Commerce together, are they secretly allied with each other?

Not to mention that Qin II can't help the Northern Underworld, even if the blood-colored sky and the chaos join forces, they can't take care of this matter.

The Zhoushui Alliance was very calm, waiting to see what happened, and did not interfere in the internal fighting between the five giants of Jicheng. While trying to find a way to "abolish" the Hangukou base in Jicheng, they are making every effort to build the Tanggukou military base.

The Hangukou military base is a semi-finished product, with only a 15,000-strong force and 6 armies, and no naval fleet. There are 6 rights, but there are no sea rights. There is basically no say in everything on the water.

The Tanggukou military base is a preliminary completion product, with a naval fleet of 2 troops and 6 military units and a fleet of 50 fighting ships. There are 6 rights, there are sea rights. As long as there are no fleets of other forces in this area, it will firmly control the water surface within a radius of hundreds of miles. They have the right to intervene in all affairs on the Zhoushui, Jihe, Bohai, East China Sea, and even the Canglang River.

This is the core difference between the Hangukou base of the Jicheng giant and the Tanggukou base of the Zhoushui Alliance.

The deputy speaker of the Ministry of Security did not stay for thousands of miles, and took the lead in organizing and planning several sets of methods for "abolishing" the Jicheng base. Focus on the supply line of the Jicheng base and suppress it in all aspects. Each line of Sima took the initiative to ask for help, and took turns to lead the troops to attack and rob the grain trucks in Jicheng.

As long as Jicheng does not give up this seaside base for a day, it must continue to transport food and supplies in large quantities from hundreds of miles away. Although the strength of the Big Five is strong, the huge amount of food consumption will continue to wear down their food reserves - without enough food reserves, even the soldiers will not be able to send out troops. The Big Five have been helpless against the Zhoushui Alliance so far, not because they lack troops, but because of lack of food. -- Once the grain reserves are exhausted, the Big Five will probably not even be able to keep the Hangukou base.

Unless the Jicheng Hangukou base has a sufficient number of fighting ships. With sea power, it is enough to compete with the Zhoushui Alliance, otherwise this seaside base will not bring them real benefits, and will only bring pure consumption.

The blood-colored sky wants to build a shipyard at the Hangukou military base, study shipyard technology, and build a fighting ship like the Zhoushui Alliance. But the sudden and serious riot in Jicheng disrupted his deployment. Qin II also withdrew from the Hangukou base and moved the thousands of soldiers and peasants he had sent here back to Jicheng.

The bloody sky looked up to the sky and sighed, what should he do. In order to break the monopoly of the Zhoushui Alliance on shipping?

He thought about it for a long time, but decided to invest his own money.

Conduct research in Jicheng, and then build a shipyard by the Jihe River. The Jihe River is thirty miles away from Jicheng. The safety guarantee is insufficient, and it is not convenient to build ships. But now I can't take care of so much, I don't have my own ship, and it's too much of a loss to compete with my opponents!

Even if the boat he built can't compete with the Zhoushui Alliance now, it can at least meet the needs of Jicheng players.

After the Zhoushui Alliance defeated the Jicheng fleet, it did not stop its rapid expansion. The Zhoushui Alliance has its own goals, and its goal has never been the Jicheng fleet. Rather, it monopolizes the shipping of the entire Yan country.

A player representative once proposed. Attack all ships that are not part of the Zhoushui shipyard in order to secure their shipping monopoly. But this tactic is too tough. It is easy to offend too many ordinary players, causing fierce protests from all sides, so this proposal was directly rejected by the Alliance Council.

Most of the deputies. It advocates the use of "soft" means to achieve this goal, such as "taxation, protection" and so on.

After some planning by the alliance council, the Zhoushui Alliance promulgated a series of local policies.

1。 Production Policy - Expand the production capacity of Zhoushui Shipyard. Let the NPC of Zhoushui Shipyard. Doubling of production capacity. From a maximum of 50 sailboats per day to a maximum of 100 sailboats, it is guaranteed to meet the needs of long-distance voyages. Half of the cabin ships and sailing ships produced by Zhoushui Shipyard were sold to the three major shipping companies in Zhoushui, and half were sold to players in other walled cities. In addition, we continue to build fighting ships and store them in warehouses for use when they are in urgent need.

2。 Tax policy - all ships in Zhoushui Shipyard can be taxed 0% through the Jihe River to the sea. All ships from other shipyards must pay a 20% tax before they are allowed to pass through the Jihe River to the sea. The Zhou fleet was guarded at the mouth of the sea, and no ship dared not pay taxes.

3。 Naval policy - All ships of the Zhoushui Shipyard could be protected by the Zhoushui Fleet stationed at the Tanggukou Naval Base. If there are pirates attacking the ships of the Zhoushui shipyard, there will be a retaliatory attack. Ships from other shipyards are not protected. Although there are not many pirates in the Bohai Sea at present, as long as there are more ships coming and going, many pirates will definitely escape.

The introduction of these three policies has rapidly expanded the ship sales of Zhoushui Shipyard.

In fact, it is not uncommon for player shipyards in various walled cities to be found, and many players have already mastered the boat-building technology through research. Players with a little more strength have begun to upgrade to the shipbuilding stage. However, ordinary player shipyards will not become strong because they can build ships, because their strength is too weak, and they are easily swallowed by the powerful forces of the surrounding walled cities. Only a strong shipyard can really grow.

Like the powerful Bohai Shipyard, it has worked hard in Bohai City for a long time and laid a foundation, which has risen to become one of the strongest forces in Bohai City. There are not many shipyards that can grow to the same strength as Bohai Shipyard.

After the Zhoushui Alliance promulgated its own policy, it directly attacked a large number of large and medium-sized shipyards in various places.

And the sales of ships in Zhoushui Shipyard have skyrocketed. After the water war stopped, shipping gradually resumed in the various walled cities. Merchants and players in Jicheng, Liaoxi Walled City, and even Jiaodong Peninsula and other places have come to Zhoushui Shipyard to buy cabin ships and sailboats.

The Zhoushui Alliance still sells boats to players in Jicheng, and as long as they are not used to transport food, they are allowed to sail on the Jihe River.

The ships produced by the Zhoushui shipyard are usually sent to the naval base in Tanggukou, where they are sold. This in turn promoted the economic prosperity of the area around Tanggukou, and many merchants and players began to run to the area around Tanggukou to carry out transit trade between the north and the south.
