His wife Xiaobai has been staying in Lushunkou for the past few days. In addition to deploying the defense of the Lushunkou naval fortress and building a deep-water port with thousands of miles of people who do not stay and Shanhai and others, it is to establish a good relationship with the pirate gang that "does its own thing" and support this pirate gang with a population of tens of thousands of NPCs. Become a sea force that can be used by him.

Other than that. He has also received information from Yingkou in the past few days.

The vice chairman of the commercial department of the Zhoushui Alliance is nameless. He led a small fleet of more than a dozen sailing ships from Tangzhan Kou to Xiangping Walled City for trade, and the fleet boarded at Yingkou 6. This place in Yingkou has been occupied by heavy troops led by the players of Xiangping Walled City, and a walled city base has been built, this place. Players from Jinzhou, Panjin, and Xiangping often trade with each other here, and even players from Qinhuangdao occasionally come here to trade.

Nameless caravan and Yingkou players traded, using Zhoushui Walled City to produce goods, in exchange for wood, herbs, ores and other raw materials, to Nameless was very shocked that Yingkou players have a large number of bronze tools, the bronze smelting industry is obviously very good, not much different from the Zhoushui Alliance bronze industry. I'm afraid it won't take long. It will be able to leapfrog the Zhoushui Alliance on the scale of production.

Anshan and other places have a large number of various minerals. The price of copper ore raw materials is very low, and it is very easy to develop the heavy metal smelting industry here, and the bronze industry here is up. In fact, it was also expected, and Nameless reported the situation here to his wife Xiaobai.

His wife Xiaobai thought about it for a long time.

The Northeast has too many raw resources, and heavy industry has been developed over other regions, which is a matter of time and predictability. However, many of the resources in the Northeast cannot be fully absorbed locally. The price of raw materials is very low. In order to transport these resources from the three northeastern provinces to Yan and Qi, two roads must be passed.

One is 6 roads. From the Jinzhou walled city, the goods were pulled by horse-drawn carriages. After Huludao and Qinhuangdao, it is a long 6 road for thousands of miles. All the way to Jicheng, the capital of Yan Kingdom.

The second was the sea route, where supplies were transported by sailboat. From Yingkou to Tangzhan Kou base, the Yellow River. Or from Yingkou to Dalian, and then to Chenghai, Yantai and other Qi territories.

The Zhoushui Alliance wants to annex more than twenty walled cities in the entire Northeast by itself. For a while, there will be absolutely no such possibility. However, it is necessary to control these two transport lines. But he has the ability.

6 transportation lines, the core link is Qinhuangdao. There is no NPC walled city here in Qinhuangdao, but some players from other places have migrated here. Gradually formed a population gathering area, the Bohai League has an ally here - Qinhuangdao Shipyard, to support the Qinhuangdao shipyard forces, unify the Qinhuangdao sphere of influence, and be able to block this 6 upper transportation line. Other than that. Qinhuangdao was also a halfway supply base for merchant ships. It is also important for sea freight.

Maritime transport lines. The Zhoushui Allied Ground Fleet has built a naval fortification at the mouth of Arthur. In the near future, Dalian will also be included in its own territory.

The three northeastern provinces are connected with other places, and the only place left is Yingkou. As long as the sea transportation in Yingkou is monopolized. Then the transportation corridors between the three northeastern provinces and other places will all fall into the hands of the Zhoushui Alliance.

Wife Xiaobai decided to start from these aspects at the same time.

Strengthen the Zhoushui Alliance and the Bohai Alliance in Qinhuangdao and Hulukou. And monopolize the sea transportation in Yingkou and Dalian. Although he cannot yet control the "resources of the three northeastern provinces", he must ensure that he can control the "outflow of resources from the three northeastern provinces".

The two concepts are only a few words apart. However, there is a substantial difference, and it is necessary to control the "land resources of the three northeastern provinces". Then it is necessary to unify the more than 20 walled cities of the three northeastern provinces in various ways. It will take at least a year to make it possible, but to control the "outflow of resources from the three northeastern provinces", it is only necessary to control the Bohai Bay, and it can be done in only half a month.

The construction of the Lushunkou fortress brought everything into formality, and the soldiers of the Zhoushui expeditionary fleet built a large number of deep-water ports here. It is used to moor large ships, which is large enough to accommodate more than five underground naval fleets. Although the Zhoushui Alliance currently has only a fleet of 50 ground fighting ships stationed here, it has prospered with the Bohai Sea maritime land. The number of fleets is sure to increase rapidly. It is used to deter competitors in the surrounding waters.

After the pirate gang got a light pirate fightership. Swift came alive, and the pirate leaders swaggered as they steered the battleship. **Followed by a group of boats, boats. Go to the various islands of the Liaodong Peninsula, Pig Island, Snake Island, Sea Cat Island, and Deer Island. Annexation of those small pirate gangs.

They even arrogantly drove the pirate fighting ship directly towards the opponent's small boat, hitting the ground in a loud noise, and beating those weak opponents to the ground, I have to say. Ordinary boats simply couldn't compete with the "heavyweight" ground fighting ships, and soon many small groups of dozens of players were conquered. Join the pirate team that goes its own way.

I have tasted the sweetness of my own business. At the expense of money, almost all the valuable things were exchanged with the Zhou Fleet for more pirate fighting ships. Even in debt, food, borrowing money desperately to raise funds in exchange for fighting ships, soon they had a second pirate fighting ship, a third pirate fighting ship, and their naval combat strength skyrocketed. Next, challenge a gang of pirates who have conquered hundreds of players. Snowballing all the way to the annexation of the Liaodong Peninsula Ant Island, Northwest Island, Fengming Island, Jinzhou Bay, Fuzhou Bay and other pirate gangs,,

After a fierce battle of piracy and annexation, the total number of pirate gang players reached more than 1,000, and the total population of NPCs reached more than 30,000. There are 10 light pirate fighting ships, and more than seven or eight thousand NPCs have been killed. It has become the strongest pirate gang on the Bohai Sea on the Liaodong Peninsula, and they are now not just fighting on the coast, but even directly entering the Bohai Sea. Robbing sailing ships to and fro.

Light pirate fighters are a bit faster than regular cargo galleons. It's easy to catch up with these cargo sailboats.

This fleet of pirates with skull sails only needs to appear as soon as they appear on the surface of the Bohai Sea. It will immediately cause panic in the sailing boats, and once caught, at least 50%~90% of the cargo must be handed over. It depends on their mood to the exact extent, and they are willing to let the sailboat go after handing over the goods, and they will not say where the looted goods go. Naturally, they have a dirty place to sell, and no matter how much cargo they have, they can sell it for more pirate ships.

The merchant ships of the Zhoushui Alliance and the Bohai Alliance are nothing, they are not afraid of these pirates. These pirates did not dare to rob their ships.

But the trading sailing ships from the Yellow River, Laizhou Bay, Weihai, Yantai and other places were unlucky, and they went to Yingkou to trade in sailing ships, and almost every time they encountered pirate fighting ships. 50%~90% of the high toll is charged, and a trip to the shipping runs down. Not to mention what money you earn, or even lose all your money. After being robbed several times, the sailing ships of these places did not dare to go to Yingkou to trade again.

Almost all of the sailing ships that came and went to Yingkou for trade became the sailing ships of the three major shipping merchants of the Zhoushui Alliance, such as herbs, ores, and wood in Xiangping, Panjin, Jinzhou and other places. They all came forward to buy at a very shocking price. Then transport the pond dipping base. Heavy industry, manufacturing. Manufacturing becomes a commodity. Then sell it to other places in Yan Country at a high price.

Maritime trade in the entire Yingkou area. Almost all of them were concentrated in the hands of the Zhoushui Alliance's ground fleet. Liaodong and other local raw materials, in addition to selling to the Zhoushui Alliance. No other merchant would come and buy it.

The Zhoushui Alliance is in this monopoly trade. Huge gains have been made.

It took a month in March. The production capacity of the Tangzhan Kou base has expanded rapidly, and it has almost exceeded the level of Zhoushui Walled City. A large number of idle players and tribes from Zhoushui Walled City, Jicheng, Liaoxi, Bohai and other places migrated to Tangshuikou and joined the Zhoushui Alliance, which made the total population of NPCs in Tangzankou base rapidly increase to as much as 200,000.

The comprehensive strength of Tangzhan Kou is no less than that of any other walled city in Yan State, especially the manufacturing level of the 6th military industry and naval military industry here, which has surpassed the walled cities of Yan State. That was enough to shock the players in the Bohai Circle, but the fleet consumed too much food in this way. I can't afford to build the land. So usually these fighting ships are stored. It will only be used in times of crisis.

The Tangyankou military base now has two fleets of 50 fighting ships. In addition to the 50-ship fighter fleet at Arthur Mouth, a total of three naval fleets with a total of 150 light and heavy fighting ships were raised. The strength of the navy is second to none in the area around the Bohai Bay.

Of course, the Zhoushui Alliance and the Bohai Alliance, which are highly profitable maritime monopoly trade. It has also caused strong dissatisfaction among players in Xiangping, Panjin, Jinzhou, the Yellow River, Laizhou Bay, Shandong Peninsula and other places.
