Chapter 148: Crisis is Imminent
readx;
However, no matter how much Buchen regrets it, at this time, the wood is already in the boat, and Nades's personality has been completely integrated, and it is impossible to return to the original state! So while regretting his intestines, Buchen could only pinch his nose and admit it. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
When they returned to the real world, the battle in Dagalant City had long since ended, and the soldiers of the Marine Corps, supported by the fire of the battleships, eliminated the mercenaries and bandits in the city with great efficiency, not only gaining valuable combat experience, but also seizing a lot of gold and silver property.
For this batch of gold and silver property, Buchen's method of handling it was the same as last time, loading all the gold on ships and transporting it, and the silver was divided between the soldiers and the people casually, and it was called "the return of the goods to their original owners".
It's just that most of the gold and silver were copied from the homes of the rich who had been killed, and if they were given to the poor, how could it be counted as "returning things to their rightful owners"? If you compare bandits and mercenaries to rich people, it's almost the same as "killing the rich and helping the poor"!
However, whether it is "returning things to their original owners" or "killing the rich and helping the poor", this practice still earned a good reputation for Buchen, and the people who escaped by luck and got a lot of money praised Buchen as a moral "heretic", and said that he may be an angel sent by the master to save them!
Although he knew that these brown-clothed men were not deliberately scolding themselves, and calling themselves "infidels" was just a habit of them, Buchen was still very unhappy, but fortunately, he was still a little sensible, and he did not repair these brown-clothed men because of this, but reluctantly uncovered this section......
All in all, the result of this trip to the Western Continent is still very good, the kitten got revenge, the people of Dagalant City were saved, and they became rich overnight, and the minister also gained a good reputation, slightly reversing the tyrannical impression he left in the hearts of the people of the Western Continent because of the assassination of the king in his early years, which can be regarded as a happy result!
The next day, after the gold and silver loading work was over, Buchen did not stay any longer, and immediately issued an order to Du Wei to return to the ship, and in the afternoon of the same day, the battleship Yongduel embarked on the road back to Hushan Military Port under the watchful eyes of more than 1,000 brown-clothed people who spontaneously came to see them off.
There is nothing to say along the way, although a lot of firepower was abandoned for the sake of gold, but the remaining firepower of the Brave Decisive and the "high speed" of the eight knots still ensured its survival, along the way, all the merchant ships encountered were thrown away, and the patrol ships of the Immortal Kingdom could avoid it, and if they couldn't avoid it, they would be directly sunk.
In this way, nearly a month later, the battleship Yongduel successfully returned to the Hushan Military Port.
This time, Zuo Hengyan and other admirals held a small welcome ceremony for the triumphant battleship to celebrate the complete success of the new battleship on its first mission.
Buchen didn't point fingers at them anymore, after all, a big victory is worth celebrating!
Buchen and the little cat girl Nades rested for two days in Hushan Military Port, and then embarked on the road back to Zhenxi Fucheng, when seeing off, Zuo Heng Yan praised the performance of the new battleship, Buchen knew what the other party was thinking, so he promised to put all the captured gold into the construction of the new battleship, in order to speed up the recovery of the fleet.
Zuo Hengyan and others thanked them again and sang praises of virtue, but Buchen accepted these praises and praises with dignity.
It has been more than ten days since he returned to Zhenxi Fucheng, at this time, all walks of life in Zhenxi Fucheng are developing vigorously, and everyone in the city seems to be very busy.
At this time, the 130,000 new civil servants prepared for Tongdong Town have already completed their training and gone to their respective jobs, although they are still in the process of familiarizing themselves with their jobs at this time, but it is conceivable that with the twenty years of work experience they have accumulated in the virtual world, it is only a matter of time before Tongdong Town is completely in the hands of the ministers!
As soon as the matter of political reform came to an end, Buchen took up the matter of military training again.
At this time, Xiaoxi's Tree of Life and Kassandra's factory have stopped manufacturing terminals for government officials, and have begun to produce military-type terminals in full force, and Buchen has roughly calculated that with their production speed, it will only take two months at most to complete the terminals for the 100,000 people in the army and 30,000 in the navy.
Once all these terminals are assigned to troops, and the army is simulated in virtual reality to be infinitely close to the actual combat conditions, then the 130,000 sea and land armies will be able to be reborn into the world's most terrifying war machine, including King Charles' army, there will be no army in the world that can compete with it!
However, in the two months before this, most of Buchen's army was still a rookie army with only a few months of military training and no combat experience, and if there was no war in these two months and there was a smooth transition, it would undoubtedly be a very good thing for Buchen.
However, one afternoon in the middle of July, Natalia, Buchen's concubine and Minister of Intelligence, and Chief Ni Duzhong, who was in charge of intelligence work in Tongdong Town, came to his office, and it could be seen from the anxious and gloomy looks on their faces that they did not bring good news!
"What's wrong? The face is so ugly? Buchen sat behind the desk, tilted his head to look at the two of them, and asked suspiciously.
Natalia and Ni Duzhong glanced at each other, and finally Natalia reported: "Henry, the army of the beast captives has reached the outside of Osan Pass!" ”
"What?!" Buchen stood up suddenly, with an expression of disbelief on his face, "How could it be so fast?" The last time I heard from them, they were still two provinces away! ”
Ni Duzhong smiled bitterly: "Lord, your government has gone to the countryside, and the policy of being an official for all people has helped them a lot!" After learning that the Xiaoyu chieftain Gong Deduchi was willing to share power with him, the gentry and officials of the Northwest Province did not resist at all, and dedicated a large part of the country to the beast captives! ”
Buchen rolled his eyes when he heard this: "They themselves didn't act in a disciplined way to betray the country and join the enemy, can they blame me?!" ”
"Henry." Natalia said helplessly, "Although it doesn't make sense, objectively speaking, our new policy has indeed effectively contributed to this situation, and in order to protect their privileges, the gentry and the officials of the Yun Dynasty have been desperate!" ”
"!" Buchen smashed the desk with a punch!
"My lord, now is not the time to vent, but to think about how to deal with it. According to the information that our Tongdong Town Intelligence Department has now received, in order to help the beast captives fight us, the Immortal Kingdom just transported a batch of magic guide cannons to the west coast of the East Continent by sea last month, and now these magic guide cannons should have entered the battle sequence of the beast captives west expeditionary army! Ni Quanzhong said with a sad face.
"They still have magic cannons?!" The corners of Buchen's eyes twitched, looking a little angry, "The rotten bones are really interesting!" ”
"Henry, what you said is right, it's useless for us to be angry now, we have to think about how to deal with it quickly!" Natalia reminded.
"Response?!" Buchen frowned and sat back in his chair, "Right now, Wushan is in the hands of the Qu family, and we can't directly fight the beasts, so we can only help the front line through material support." As for sending troops directly, then the Qu family has to propose it first, let's send troops directly, I'm afraid it will cause misunderstanding! ”
"Lord, misunderstanding or not misunderstanding is a trivial matter!" Ni Duzhong shook his head, "The most important thing is whether the Qu family is reliable or not!" If the beast captives may have given the Qu family the conditions to the west of Yongzhen and the vassal as the king, how would the Qu family make a choice! ”
Hearing this question, Buchen smiled: "Qu family? If the beast captives were really generous enough to allow them to reign supreme in the four towns of Wushan, he would definitely choose to take refuge in the beast captives with the hatred of the ministers! ”
"Then, Henry! In this way, our material assistance cannot be given to the Qu family, otherwise it will boost their strength! Natalia suggested.
It's just that Buchen shook his head: "No, if we don't give it, the Qu family can accuse us of not fulfilling the covenant, and there will be a reason to break the alliance!" Therefore, the aid that should be given still has to be given, and we must do it to the point of benevolence and righteousness, so that the Qu family has no righteousness to occupy the alliance, and it will be justified to crusade against them when the time comes! ”
"Speaking of crusades...... Ni Duzhong said with some concern, "My lord, if the Qu family lets the beasts into the customs and joins forces with the beasts to attack, are we really sure that we will wipe them out?" ”
Buchen was stunned, and then nodded firmly, his eyes like torches: "There must be!" Even if you risk everything, you have to have it! ”
