Chapter 481: The Messenger
"Is there anything special these days?"
Qin Shi asked Mei Rui.
Merrik is not only a legendary powerhouse, in the Elven Realm, she also has a not small fief in the Silvermoon Empire, and has rich administrative and management skills.
At present, Dawnbreaker has nothing of value except for a few mines and a piece of inland land that has been carved out to grow food, and there are hundreds of thousands of people mixed with slaves and freedmen, and all Qin Shi simply threw the administrative power to Merry to take care of.
Among all the people around Qin Shi, Mei Rui's ability in this area is also outstanding, and she is more than enough to govern the elf territory, not to mention this small place.
Although Qin Shi owned a Pegasus Galaxy, the entire Pegasus Galaxy, except for a few planets that had been scattered and rewarded by the Yin Tang royal family, could not find a single ghost.
And the sovereignty of these planets was also taken back by the royal family and given to Qin Shi, and the population of those planets that were replaced by the royal family was also withdrawn by the original lord. What is left behind are basically old and weak women and children who have no value to be squeezed, as well as slaves who are about to reach the limit of their lifespan.
Qin Shi's current plan is to restart the mining plan of black titanium ore, and after stabilizing the financial resources, he will start to seek to develop other star fields in the Pegasus Galaxy.
Judging from the star map, the Tianma galaxy is extremely rich in various rare minerals, which is a resource that Qin Shi urgently needs.
"There's a piece of news worth noting."
Merry smoothed his hair with his hand and said, "The mountain people have sent messengers who are willing to submit and pay tribute every year in the future, but they must be given enough territory to be a kingdom that exists on its own. ”
Speaking of this, Merry laughed: "They even sent the map, it's very interesting......
Qin Shi saw that Mei Rui's smile seemed to be a little cold.
"Let's go to the study." Qin Shi frowned.
The amount of information in Merry's words is not small. He had already learned from the information left behind by the royal private army that the Gaoshan people were still in the most rudimentary stage of Force technology, and the exploration of Dawnbreak was even more in a state of ignorance, and it was impossible for them to come up with a typical way of doing things like surrendering and dividing up at once.
He even brought a map of the territory.
Qin Shi felt a little strange, where did these mountain people come to surrender, they were obviously provoking him, the lord!
"Second Prince......
Qin Shi's face was silent, but he knew in his heart that there should be someone behind the Gaoshan people who was guiding them to act. And the second prince, who had previously removed the technicians and miners of Dawnbreaker, was quite suspicious.
I don't know what kind of support and promises the second prince gave to these mountain people, and he actually made this group of mountain people who had fought against the royal private army for countless years bow down to their orders and take the initiative to provoke Qin Shi.
This kind of proxy war method, Qin Shi is quite familiar with the routine.
The Peng Zexing rebellion, which had caused Yin Sa to be overwhelmed before, was a typical proxy war. Yin Tang's gate lords even had forces with the participation of the second and third princes to attack Yin Sa in Peng Zexing, trying to plunge Yin Sa into the quagmire of war and weaken her majesty and sense of existence.
At this time, I am afraid that such a thing will fall on Qin Shi.
Spreading out the map sent by the mountain people, Qin Shi also understood where Mei Rui's sneer came from.
The map used by the Gaoshan people is very fine, and in fact, there is a painting of the same style hanging on the Qinshi study. The forces behind the Gaoshan people, lest Qin Shi not know about his existence, jumped out early, and did not hide his motives.
"Good Fellow......"
Qin Shi also sneered. A large area is circled with a red pen on the map, and the territory includes the ice fields of the entire planet, one-third of the largest land plate where Qin Shi is located, but it is where the black titanium vein is located, and two smaller landmasses are also circled.
"I've lived to be in my thirties, and it's the first time I've seen someone who voluntarily surrenders so boldly......"
Merry was just looking at the joke.
"Only in your thirties?"
Qin Shi was surprised in his heart. For an elf, that's probably not an adult yet, right?
Qin Shi couldn't help sighing in his heart, because Mei Rui still said in front of him all day long that the bloodline potential was not good, a legend as young as Mei Rui was rare, and it was rare in the galaxy world, even if Luo Weina, who had just been promoted to the legend, after converting her age, she was afraid that she would enter the legend later than Mei Rui.
"It's not unexpected." Qin Shi pondered for a few seconds, and his thoughts finally turned back from Mei Rui's age, and said, "There should be a second prince behind them, and there is even a gate valve to support them, so they are very bold." It's just that I don't know how deeply involved these gate valve families are, and how much support they give to the mountain people. ”
Merry snorted. The key to this, she is naturally clear. It's just that what she didn't expect was that the intrigue and struggle within the human race were no smaller than those between elves.
Qin Shi knew that after Peng Zexing and his party, not to mention anything else, Wang Valve had already offended to death, and the later battle with Wang Shu's mecha made Wang Valve even more demoralized, and whenever he had the opportunity, Wang Valve would definitely take off his head at any cost.
Wang Valve, some families that have not surfaced, and those guys in the royal family who have their own thoughts, all of them want Qin Shi to disappear from the world as soon as possible.
It's just that Emperor Yin's asylum order and Qin Shi's teacher Figaro's fame are too great, which makes these people more cautious.
"That's hard to say......"
Merry has been well aware of Dawnbreaker's affairs for a few days.
"It took more than a month for the Yin Tang people to evacuate the planet before you arrived here to complete the final takeover, and during this period, we don't know how many weapons and equipment your enemies have sent to the Gaoshanren, and even how many people they have sent into the territory of the Gaoshanren. Judging from the conditions they gave, it is obvious that there is a lot of information that will eat you to death in this place. ”
Merry reached out and gently drew a circle on the map: "If someone draws such a circle on my territory...... He either wants to be killed by me, or he thinks he is sure that he will exterminate me......"
Qin Shi nodded solemnly. Merry's words, but I couldn't find fault at all. The other party threw such a condition, which was clearly to provoke him purely to provoke him, and then the natives rebelled, and then he fell in this war, whether it was Emperor Yin Tu or Figaro, there was no way to say anything.
Even if all the natives are killed, what is this to those who are hiding behind them? It's just a bit of cannon fodder. Solving an enemy with unlimited potential with a bunch of dead cannon fodder is a good deal no matter how you calculate it.
"By the way, what about the messenger of the mountain people?"
Qin Shi suddenly remembered that since the other party had sent the map, the envoy should still be waiting for a reply.
"I've already killed me."
Merry waved his hand, his face light and light.
