198 Yellow River Raiders!
After the establishment of the Bohai Alliance, the membership began to slowly increase, and the total number increased to seven. Zhoushui Shipyard and Bohai Shipyard (Class B) are the mainstays, and the other two shipyards are the second shipyard, as well as four other small shipyards in the Bohai Bay area, Qinhuangdao Shipyard, Haitang Shipyard, Leting Shipyard and Leling Shipyard.
The number of shipyards in the alliance is not large, and it has already met Qin Xiaobai's layout requirements. Four echelons of shipyards, already fully capable of producing all types of ships of the present day. From the simplest boats to the most complex sailboats, these seven shipyards are able to produce them in large quantities to meet the needs of Bohai Bay players for boats.
The alliance of the seven shipyards of the Bohai Alliance quickly strengthened the strength of the alliance and began to squeeze non-alliance ships out of the Bohai Bay, forming an oligopoly effect.
Of course, this monopoly effect only exists in Leling-Bohai City-Tanggukou Military Base-Haitang City-Leting City-Qinhuangdao City, a coastline of about 700 miles, and the corresponding Nei 6 rivers.
When it comes to the lower part of the Bohai Bay, the area around the mouth of the Yellow River, there is no such thing as a monopoly at all. The Yellow River is a large river that can sail ships with a high deadload.
Bounded by the lower reaches of the Yellow River, the north is the territory of the Yan vassal states, and the south is the territory of the Qi vassal states. Entering the middle reaches of the Yellow River, it was the territory of the Zhou royal family and the vassal states of Wei. It went deep into the upper reaches of the Yellow River, and passed through the territory of the vassal states of the Zhao Dynasty and the Qin Dynasty respectively.
The entire tens of thousands of miles long Yellow River is divided and controlled by the players of various vassal states. Players from different vassal states don't dare to cross the border to attack at will, otherwise it is not negotiable to kill you, so there is no monopoly.
The monopoly of the Bohai League. It is not easy to reach the mouth of the Yellow River. The Zhou royal family, the Wei Kingdom, the Yan Kingdom, and the Qi Kingdom all kinds of ships frequently haunted along the Yellow River and at the mouth of the sea. Qin and Zhao are too far away, usually in the upstream and middle reaches, and few ships will go to the bottom of the sea.
In the lower reaches of the Yellow River, there are large player shipyards from various vassal states with a deep background. If you are not sure enough, no one will dare to provoke trouble except for rogue and pirate players.
After Qin Xiaobai controlled the 700 coastline of Bohai Bay, he finally set his sights on the estuary of the Yellow River.
Controlling the 700 coastline of Bohai Bay can only give him a say in the shipping of Yan State at most.
And only control the mouth of the Yellow River. and go deep into the Yellow River in order to influence the Yan Kingdom, the Qi Kingdom, the Wei Kingdom, and even the Zhou royal family at the same time.
But to control the Yellow River.
It's too difficult. He is a player of the Yan Kingdom, if he moves the ships of other vassal kingdom players. It is easy to cause conflicts between vassal states. Moreover, the shipyards along the Yellow River are strong, and he may not be sure that he will be able to eat and live.
After Qin Xiaobai thought about it repeatedly, he still decided to let the hundreds of player council representatives of the Zhoushui Alliance discuss and study it to see how high the success was. The representatives of the Zhoushui Alliance's Player Council are all extremely shrewd businessmen, and they are extremely clear when it comes to accounting.
This meeting of the Dizhou Water Alliance was held for the first time at the Tanggukou military base. The strength of the Zhoushui Alliance gradually migrated to Tanggukou. Naturally, the address of the council should also be changed to Tanggukou. The topic is whether or not the Zhoushui Alliance will enter the Yellow River. Gain control of the Yellow River.
"I'm against entering the Yellow River! Shipyards are expanding too quickly at sea, once they encounter a strong maritime opponent. Then we will be forced to vigorously expand the number of military fleets, and the logistical supply will be seriously overwhelmed. There are still a large number of walled cities in our Yan Kingdom that have not been traded, and they have not established any contact with each other. We want to be a goal. It is to unify the player influence circle of Yan Kingdom and lay a strong foundation. With this foundation, you can compete with the player forces of other vassal states. Then choose the Kingdom of Zhao or the Kingdom of Qi as the target, and annex and expand one by one until the whole country is unified. If we venture to the Yellow River now, we will make too many enemies, and the material consumption in all aspects will be very large, and we will consume all the strength we have accumulated in the previous stage. When the time comes, let alone compete with other vassal states, I'm afraid that in Yan China, we will not be able to stand and will be defeated by other competitors. ”
"I approve of entering the Yellow River! The competition between the player forces is a quick word. Be one step ahead and win every step of the way. Taking advantage of the fact that there are not many powerful shipyards in various countries, the sooner we enter the Yellow River, the better, and turn the Yellow River into our inland river. If you abandon the Yellow River now and enter it later, I am afraid that you will face a lot of strong enemies. If we are only in Yan Guozhan slowly, the pace is steady, but the walk is too slow. Competitors from other vassal states won't wait for you to get ready, and maybe they'll take the initiative to get into the Bohai Sea first and compete for our territory at sea. Especially the Kingdom of Qi, their players occupy the geographical advantage of the Shandong Peninsula and can easily crisscross the entire Bohai Sea and the Yellow Sea. When we unify Yan and look at the sea with our eyes, the entire East China Sea and Bohai Sea will become the territory of Qi players. Will we still have the strength to fight back then? ”
Hundreds of parliamentary deputies spoke one after another, expressing their views and debating them.
Their opinions have been summed up in a way that is nothing more than a matter of both agreeing with and opposing views.
The parliamentary deputies who agreed saw the many benefits of the Zhoushui shipyard's forces entering the Yellow River, allowing the Zhoushui Alliance's forces to spread all over the coast in the shortest possible time, thus quickly forming a maritime power.
The parliamentary deputies who opposed it saw the disadvantages of the rapid expansion of the Zhoushui shipyard. The shipyard expanded rapidly, but the strength of the Zhoushui Alliance did not increase accordingly.
The Zhoushui Shipyard is trying to monopolize the Yellow River estuary, and if it is attacked by other shipyards, the Zhoushui Alliance will be forced to come to the aid of the Zhoushui Shipyard with all its might, and the entire Zhoushui Alliance will likely be dragged down by this long war of attrition. The area around the Yellow River has gathered strong player forces from various vassal states, and the Zhoushui Alliance is not strong enough to pick n strong opponents.
The representatives of the parliamentarians debated fiercely in the conference hall, and at the same time, Qin Xiaobai, sheep, nameless, thousands of miles without staying, blood killing, mountains and seas and other brains in the audience were also talking about this issue in low voices.
The issues considered by the leaders were somewhat different from those of the parliamentary representatives.
Thousands of miles did not stay and said to Qin Xiaobai: "Xiaobai, in my opinion, this should be a matter of the succession of the six rights and the sea power. We now only have control over 6 places such as Zhoushui Walled City, Bohai City, and Tanggukou. We don't have much influence over the other forty or so walled cities in the Yan Kingdom -- that is, our current foundation of land and power is too shallow.
If we devote all our strength to the development of sea power and enter the complex Yellow River Valley, then it is very likely that our six power strength will not be able to support the expansion of sea power. Food, NPC soldiers, craftsmen, wood, and mineral supplies can only be obtained by relying on 6 powers. Sea power only brought commercial prosperity, and could not obtain these supplies. There is a big difference between giving priority to the right to exhibit 6 rights and giving priority to the right to exhibit the sea. ”
Qin Xiaobai nodded slightly and didn't say anything.
The nearby mountains and seas smiled and said, "Brother Qianli." That's not right. Grain, timber, minerals, scattered all over the place. Only roads, rivers and seas can connect them.
We have 6 rights in our hands, which is enough for our own use. It is almost impossible to expand the 6 rights quickly. If you don't believe me, go find a walled city and take it down! When he was captured, his own strength was also exhausted, and he was half dead. But sea power is different, we haven't met a strong opponent yet. If we can control the Bohai Sea and the East China Sea, then the circulation of materials 'grain, timber, and minerals' within the scope of the two seas is under the control of our Zhoushui Alliance. We want it to go somewhere. and where it goes. ”
Qianli Buliuxing smiled: "This is not the age of the ocean. It's the era of 6 places. Most of the materials transported between the more than 40 walled cities in our Yan Kingdom were transported by horse-drawn carriages on the road 6. Only a few walled cities near the river would use the waterway. Shipping accounts for only a small part of the transportation routes, and it is probably not possible to control the flow of goods through the sea. ”
Shanhai said with a smile: "It depends on how we show it." You say 6 ways of transport. In fact, it is limited to 6 routes of transportation between four or five surrounding walled cities. Now the various walled places are seriously divided, and the local rogues are rampant, can you really walk through 6 roads? Players in the Liaodong Peninsula and the three northeastern provinces, so far there are no large caravans to come to our Zhoushui and Jicheng activities, because the player power between the various walled cities is too serious, and every time you cross the territory of a walled city, you have to be charged various 'taxes', which is extremely costly and difficult to get through. If we go directly to the Liaodong Peninsula and Shandong Peninsula from the sea, then we will completely avoid the separation of forces on the road, so as to open up the transportation channel of materials. That's why I say that shipping still has an advantage over 6 shipments. As long as our fleet dominates the Bohai Sea and the Yellow Sea, we can go wherever we want, how convenient! If we take Route 6, can our caravan go from Zhoushui all the way to Qi safely? It's simply impossible. ”
Thousands of miles away from being refuted, speechless, and couldn't think of anything to refute for a while.
Sheep, Nameless, Xiaoyu and others nodded their heads one after another, expressing their agreement with Shanhai's statement. And the people who became kings, blood kills, god kings, etc., were more in favor of the statement that they would not stay for a thousand miles, and they joined the discussion. Several core leaders of the Zhoushui Alliance have been vaguely divided into two factions - those who advocate the six rights and those who advocate the sea power.
Qin Xiaobai knew very well in his heart that the emergence of these two factions was not because of the significant difference in concepts between the leaders. Everyone understands that 6 rights have the benefits of 6 rights, and sea power has the benefits of sea power. If the two can be combined, of course, it is even better.
There is only one reason why the leaders are divided today.
Sheep, Nameless, Shanhai, and Xiaoyu are the three major shipping companies in Zhoushui, and now a large part of their strength is used in shipping. The more the Zhoushui Alliance's maritime strength reaches, the more beneficial it will be to them.
And thousands of miles do not stay, blood killing, god king, become king, their strength is concentrated in the Eagle Hand mining area, the 6 transportation of the North Water Spring, so a large part of the forces are used to study the carriage, wheel rail, road, etc., they naturally hope to focus on the exhibition of the 6 places.
The direction of the Zhoushui Alliance's exhibition, whether it is on the priority road or on the sea, directly affects the interests of these two factions. It is not directly related to the concept of six rights and sea power that they advocate.
Qin Xiaobai himself has huge interests in both the 6th and the sea, and does not favor one side or the other.
He could only pretend to be confused, smiled and waved his hand, "I understand what everyone means." But we seem to be discussing whether to go to the Yellow River or not, how to discuss the coming of the 6 rights and sea power? Don't argue about this yet, let's consider the Yellow River. It is up to all the parliamentary deputies to decide whether to go to the Yellow River or not! ”
