Chapter 350: Shenzhou Trading Center
Since we can't go up, then don't come down either!Countless arrows continued in the sky like rain, as if they were about to shoot the front of the crystal bridge into a sieve, and gradually, more and more arrows, like a black waterfall falling down to the crystal bridge deck, but soon it seemed to pass through the fog of nothingness, through the crystal bridge deck, and then fell feebly into the river below.
It's just that in the face of such a crazy arrow blockade, the soldiers on the Haizhou side are also a little timid, and even if Xiao Hao faces such an arrow shot, he will have a headache.
But this is all in the expectation - if you cross the river here, it will be strange if people don't block it! Therefore, then Han Sheng commanded hundreds of magic seals to rise into the air and smash on the opposite bank with a bang, at that moment it was really the earth shook and a large area of the river bank collapsed, but the crystal bridge automatically extended and compensated for this loss, but the enemy was uncomfortable, and there were a large number of deaths and countless overboards.
The screams and exclamations were continuous.
"Rush!" Han Sheng took the lead, and a thousand war horses rumbled and crushed in the front, and the enemy in the rear did not defend it according to the city wall - after all, the Young Dragon River itself was already the largest moat, and if the Young Dragon River could not be defended, then it would be superfluous to have a city wall. Well, this was the previous idea, but now, the commander-in-chief here regrets it!
It's a pity that there is no regret medicine in the world, not even in the world of supernatural powers, iron hooves, spears, sabers, bows and arrows...... A series of complicated and orderly means of warfare allowed the soldiers of Zhongzhou to taste all the means for the first time, and the two sides engaged in the most fierce confrontation on the flat land by the river; for Haizhou, it was necessary to continue to adhere to the strategy of not accepting prisoners, and for the soldiers of Zhongzhou, they needed to fight hard in order to save their lives - although even this was hopeless!
Rumble...... A hundred magic seals fell from the sky, this was the second attack, but it smashed the ballistae and archers on the Zhongzhou side. There were even a few seals flying out and killing several generals who were commanding.
Soon the battle situation was completely one-sided, and the nearly 10,000 awakened soldiers in Haizhou were like messengers of death, they were reaping life like farmers harvesting wheat, and the spears could be extended by more than ten or thirty zhang in an instant. All the Zhongzhou soldiers on the attack line were strung together like grasshoppers. Or maybe the saber suddenly stretched out a few zhang long alternative blades, sweeping away all the surrounding sieges.
On the ground, there are awakened Haizhou elite attacks, infantry cavalry, and occasionally use the magic talisman they carry; there are magic seals in the sky, which are smashed when they see any officer who dares to take command; and there are ballistas, and the ballistas on the Haizhou side are even more powerful, and Mitsubishi arrows the size of spears bring a scream of death in the air.
Finally the soldiers of the Zhongzhou side collapsed, after more than a tenth of the deaths, and all the soldiers threw away their armor just to run faster than the others.
"Stop!" Han Sheng ordered, "Let's stop killing. Now start driving them away and let them storm the walls behind. I remember that there was a decent city in the back, and it was a little difficult to capture it normally.
Moreover, driving these soldiers is conducive to spreading fear, so that the Zhongzhou behind does not dare to resist. By the way, pay attention to shoot the slowest people, as long as they are alone, shoot them, and deepen the fear of release!"
"......" Zhang Zheng looked at Han Sheng, and finally didn't say anything. just stretched out his thumb to express his admiration like a surging river.
Of course, there is no need to explain in too much detail to low-ranking soldiers. It is good to tell them to shoot the lone one, but some junior officers in the middle level have very cleverly understood the "core", and a certain petty officer even ordered that the lone enemy should not be too accurate, just have fun, first inflict minor injuries on the other side, let the other side burst to a limit, maybe they will run into the group with a little wound and cause panic; in addition, they should also shoot arrows at those large teams, but they are not allowed to cause damage. It's just all about intimidation.
When Han Sheng saw this little officer, he was also surprised, there are really smart people.
"What's your name?" Han Sheng asked as he gently rode his horse, there were all routs in front of him, and there was no need to march hastily.
"General. Little Xiao Sihai. ”
"Xiao Sihai, laugh at Sihai!Good name!" Han Sheng nodded, it was really a good name, domineering enough, "Xiao Sihai, now you are in charge of directing the expulsion on the spot, just follow me." Your original team, let the lieutenant take your place. ”
"Yes!" Xiao Sihai's eyes lit up, and he was suddenly promoted to the general's side, this is really glory and wealth!
Next, the pursuing soldiers of Haizhou suddenly became a lot more active, and everyone released arrows casually, and as they continued to advance, those arrows that did not cause much damage were also picked up again, and then continued to tease the Zhongzhou soldiers who fled. Let these fleeing soldiers cry and cry for their mothers, many of them were wounded, but they were not very serious, but this behavior made the fleeing soldiers flee faster and more panicked!
A city appeared in front of him, and some of the soldiers who fled chose to enter the city, and some of them bypassed the city and continued to escape; at this time, Han Sheng asked the soldiers to stop and no longer continue the pursuit, and then the city in front of him opened the door and let the rout enter. But with the influx of the rout, panic also poured into the city, listening to these rout soldiers talking about the strength and magic of the Haizhou soldiers, listening to all kinds of invincible myths and inhuman killings, so that many soldiers here in the city began to panic.
And at this time, Xiao Sihai ordered someone to shoot a letter with a crossbow arrow - of course, the crossbow arrow is very dangerous, even if there is only one crossbow arrow and only one letter is delivered, it kills three unlucky people.
The letter contained only one sentence: Give you a day to escape!
This tone is arrogant, but no one dares to ignore it.
Correspondingly, at this time, the soldiers of Haizhou were actually encamped! Han Sheng and the others also had a few masters of the Purple Qi Dongsheng beside them, but they did not make a move; however, these masters of the Purple Qi Dongsheng carried a lot of exquisite jade pendants, and even a large number of mountain and river picture scrolls, which contained enough materials, plus the looting along the way, which was enough to support the army to sweep through Zhongzhou.
While Han Sheng and his soldiers were cheering, the city in front of him was in a panic; after asking a few soldiers and junior generals who had fled accurately, the city lord immediately made a decision to retreat! Since the enemy said that he had given one night to retreat. Then you should believe - if you don't believe it, you can't do it!
Not to mention, Han Sheng really kept his word, saying that one day was one day, and when the next morning began, a soldier would be sent to the city gate every half an hour to yell at the countdown. Even the abominable cavalry shouted the countdown along the city gates, shouting in front of the soldiers and civilians who were about to flee.
However, this seemingly trustworthy behavior has caused confusion on the other hand. When the countdown was heard, the confusion intensified.
Seeing the sun set, most of the people had already fled, but there were still some who didn't have time to escape.
"Shall we go up and attack?" Zhang Zheng looked at Han Sheng.
"Sleep!" Han Sheng smiled darkly, "Don't be too ruthless, we will also take over this place next, it will not be good if it makes the people's resentment boil." But tonight the walls were torn down. ”
Tearing down the city wall is very simple, under the attack of several French seals, this is not the wall of the strategic fortress collapsed. In particular, the vicinity of the city gate was completely destroyed, and the city wall was completely useless.
In the next few days, Han Sheng and the others slowly drove away most of the soldiers, and everyone they drove closer to Liguang City, the center of the royal court. Dawn City, named Dawn Light, Glory for eternity, but at this moment, Dawn City has gradually become overcrowded, not to mention, there are all kinds of turmoil, and countless desperate screams.
Outside Le Guang City. There were countless displaced people and soldiers who fled, but the city of Le Guang did not open the gates, and the two sides had been facing each other for several days.
Distance. After a few masters of the miscellaneous family and the Li Zongfa family looked at it, they turned around and left; here, it had become a quagmire, and the miscellaneous family and the Li Zongfa family could be regarded as having a long brain after a series of failures, and they resolutely let go in the face of such a situation.
A few more days later. When Han Sheng arrived with his army, and smashed the walls of Dawn City, an angry crowd rushed in. Han Sheng and the others didn't even have to send troops, they just had to watch from the sidelines, and soon the ministers of Li Guangcheng and the puppet Wang Shengqing and others had to come out and surrender -- if they didn't surrender, they would be torn apart by the angry people! After Xiao Hao's long-term planning and agitation. Today's ordinary civilians in the Dali royal court have finally found a little bit of blood - if you don't let me feel better, then everyone will finish playing together!
"Escort away!" Han Sheng asked Zhang Zheng to return with countless loot, wealth, prisoners, etc., while Han Sheng stayed behind and garrisoned Li Guangcheng. After all, Li Guangcheng has always been the political center of the Dali royal court, and it is located in a critical location, so it is a good capital station; after the Dali royal court is defeated, Xiao Hao wants to defend this land, and it is inevitable to move the capital.
However, Han Sheng's garrison method was not stationed inside Liguang City, but outside Liguang City. It is easy to be wrapped in dumplings when stationed in Liguang City, but it is easy to avoid dangers that do not know where they come from, and it is also easy to maintain the mobility of the army; under the premise that the soldiers of Haizhou have strong combat effectiveness, ensuring the mobility capability is the greatest strategic advantage.
It wasn't until the evening that Han Sheng suddenly reacted: Li Guangcheng was taken down so easily! Then, as if thinking of something, Han Sheng suddenly danced excitedly, it turned out that Lord Han had thought of a new strategic method.
Soon, Han Sheng left the ordinary elite soldiers here to guard, and he led 2,000 cavalry to rumble away! It turned out that Han Sheng thought that he was so smooth here, and the surrounding state uncles and others probably hadn't reacted yet-maybe some of them hadn't received the information yet! In this case, he would take the opportunity to cut off all the hands and feet of these state uncles who had reached out to the middle continent.
The two thousand awakened cavalry, like ghosts in the middle of the night, began to gallop with a bloodthirsty murderous aura, they were cheetahs on the grassland, ready to snipe their prey.
And just when Zhongzhou achieved such a great victory, Haizhou was also busy, but it was not the war that was busy, but commerce! On the shore of the East China Sea, a huge market was established, and with the help of supernatural powers, a miraculous market, a market that stunned the human race, barbarians, sea tribes, and so on in Dongsheng Shenzhou was established!
It covers an area of ten miles, and it's a huge circular altar!
Of course, it is an altar, but it is also a beautiful building, it is more than 100 zhang high, which is not very high compared to its diameter, but it is like a staircase, with five floors of space, surrounded by four vast stone steps, each one hundred zhang wide, and the last floor is a huge square. Seven miles in diameter, the whole altar - a large trading market connected to the earth's veins, communicated with the water veins, so that the overall shape of Tai Chi - on one side of the mountain rocks, on the other side of the fountain and flowing water, of course, there are flower beds and green vegetation and so on.
And this market is built on the basis of the original market, but the area is much broader. One side of the flowing water stretches directly into the ocean, and the aquariums in the ocean can swim against the current and reach the top of this alternative market. And in the middle of the market, in the position of the central junction line of the Taiji diagram, is a wide and huge building covering an area of one mile, the building adopts the architectural method of the Roman gladiatorial arena; but with the help of the supernatural powers, as well as the help of the cultivators of Shushan, the carved fence and jade masonry here are not to mention, and the flowing water and blue grass are also dotted. It makes this place beautiful.
As for the problem of not having a dome and not being able to prevent rain, it is even less of a problem -- the Purple Moon Pavilion has decided that 10 Danxin masters will be stationed here all year round, on the one hand, as the protector of the market, and on the other hand, they can also maintain the situation above this place at any time! Under the ability of the Danxin masters, sunny days, cloudy days, thunderstorms, cloudy or so on, are completely arbitrary.
Each of the gates around this huge altar and, in fact, a huge trading market has a gate that looks like the original Treasure Pavilion. But this place is even taller, the gate reads: Shenzhou Trading Center - the tone is huge, and then there is a couplet: Searching for the spirit treasures of the ten directions of heaven and earth, gathering the treasures of the four seas and eight wildernesses.
This couplet is much more domineering than the Treasure Pavilion. The Treasure Pavilion is: Tiannan Haibei. A collection of curiosities. Look at it, whether it is the idea, the breadth and depth, they are completely different, and even the tone is a lot worse.
This Shenzhou Trading Center was jointly built by Haizhou, the Han Sect and the Mo family, and the Purple Moon Pavilion. At the beginning, Xiao Hao also invited Confucianism to come, but Confucianism didn't know how. said that he was not involved in business, but he did not participate - of course, Young Master Xiao had forgotten that he was constantly using code words to squeeze Confucianism. In fact, Xiao Hao is a little repulsive to Confucianism in his heart!
The reason why this is so is that the lessons of the other world are too profound. Confucianism at the beginning was good. However, Confucianism itself has one of the most fatal weaknesses, that is, Confucianism is too conservative in governing the country; in Xiao Hao's view, Confucianism is good at governing people and self-cultivation, but if it governs the country, Confucianism is really inferior to Legalism, or even to Mohist.
It's just that it's easier for people to look at problems from their own perspective, and this has led to the expansion of Confucianism! Confucianism -- the needs of people; in a certain respect, although Confucianism has good ideas, it has problems in its orientation -- it magnifies selfishness and utilitarianism. Standing at the height of another era, Xiao Hao clearly saw the shortcomings of Confucianism; on the contrary, it was Legalist thought that was the real long-term thought -- of course, there should be changes when there should be changes.
At this moment, Haizhou is extremely lively, the secret realm of Yingzhou has begun to close, and all the personnel have withdrawn one after another. In the future, only the human race and the dragon race have the ability to enter the secret realm of Yingzhou, but the dragon race and the sea race occupy the sea, and the human race occupies the land, just like Dongsheng Shenzhou, and the relationship between the two sides is temporarily maintained; but the human race has begun to show some strong appearance, such as the human race began to prepare to take back control of all the rivers and lakes on the land of Dongsheng Shenzhou.
In the face of the strength of the human race, the dragon race is also angry - since ancient times, the dragon race has controlled the waters of the world, but despite the changes in the heavens and the earth, the dragon race is also declining, but the human race has relied on its own wisdom and persistence to walk out of a new road to the sky, and it is becoming more and more powerful.
As the saying goes, either the east wind suppresses the west wind, or the west wind presses the east wind, and when the human race is strong enough, the most rational way for the dragon race is of course to retreat.
On the other hand, as the Yingzhou Secret Realm retreated again, a large number of good things brought out from the Yingzhou Secret Realm also began to flow into the newly established Shenzhou Trading Center! After all, many treasures can't be used by themselves, and there are still troubles to bring on their bodies, and it takes energy to preserve, and for most people, demon clans, etc., trading out and exchanging for the treasures they need is the most important thing.
And although the human race has a Treasure Pavilion - the commercial focus of this Treasure Pavilion is in the Central Plains region, and no foreigner dares to go there, and he doesn't know how to die; although there is also the Purple Moon Pavilion that is responsible for secret transactions - but this Purple Moon Pavilion is actually very cheating on the ground, and if you think about it on your knees, you can understand how much of it will be greasy!
At this moment, there is this trading center near the sea, which makes the foreigners full of confidence, and after all, this is not the Central Plains of the human race, but a very remote place, in such a situation, many foreigners come here with confidence. At this moment alone, many foreigners can already be seen setting up stalls in the trading center, and Xiao Hao has also taken a laissez-faire attitude towards this.
Xiao Hao made it very clear: this year is the first transaction, and it is also a trial operation; There is no charge for anything other than the items that enter the auction, but please pay attention to the cleanliness of the environment. In addition, for the sake of business, Xiao Hao reminded that the Purple Moon Pavilion came forward to set up a special defense team. In this team, there were human races, demon tribes, sea tribes, cultivators, mountain gods, etc., and formed a convoy that could only roam freely in the trading center, and even some barbarians were allowed to join it.
At this moment, Xiao Hao was communicating with the heads of the Han Zongfa family and the Mo family:
"The entire trading center is expected to be able to carry 100,000 people trading. In fact, in order to ensure the quality, only the first layer is the basic goods trade, including the former wholesale market, and the top starts the precious goods trade, and only those who have risen to the purple qi and similar levels are eligible to enter. Of course, there won't be any basic items on it. As for eating, drinking, and merrymaking, etc., it is all arranged on the first floor, or outside the trading center.
Now there is only one problem, that is, at least two masters of the sun and moon are needed. After all, it's bordered by the East China Sea. It would not be good if there were foreigners who wantonly wreaked havoc.
Of course, as a trading center, the most important thing is, of course, the issue of earnings.
Here, the Terrans can have the following benefits:
First, precious items. Many precious items are not actually precious in foreign races, but can only be regarded as relatively valuable. Through such a transaction, we can get these treasures relatively easily and cheaply. In particular, many treasures are far away from the human realm, such as the treasures of the deep sea.
Before. It's not a matter of price, it's about whether you can get enough of them; With this trading center, as long as we guarantee the interests and safety of the foreigners, they will send good things themselves. And we have to be fair here, and the rules we say must be enforced. But we can let the other side compete internally and let them take the initiative to lower the price.
Second. It will also serve as a window where we can stimulate gladiatorial fights and so on, so as to understand the fighting conditions and living habits of foreign tribes.
Third, the base of propaganda. Here we can publicize some information about our Haizhou, so that this information can spread to the ears of the human race and even the Shenzhou races. Lay the foundation for the future development of Haizhou.
Fourth, the trading center, the trading center, trading is the most important, exchange what you have, accumulate wealth. In particular, there are many commodities in Haizhou that cannot be sold and cannot be sold at a price, and this is the special area of Haizhou in the future!
But I want to use the trading center to bring prosperity to Haizhou, and at the same time make Haizhou's currency and standards the creed of Dongsheng Shenzhou.
And once the creed is established, we can start to transform this thing into the 'law' of the Legalists! On the other hand, we can increase the influence of the Han Sect Legalists.
Fifth, this is the market and the altar, and the prosperity here will drive the circulation of luck and become the second heart of Haizhou. ”
After listening to Xiao Hao's narration, the people of the Han Sect and the Mo family all thought quietly, Xiao Hao felt that some things were easy to understand, but after all, he was standing at the height of another world, and in fact, there were many ideas in it, and it was still a little difficult to make the "natives" here. Fortunately, everyone has often been exposed to and understood these things during this period of time, and they have slowly figured it out thoroughly.
In fact, there is one thing that Xiao Hao has not yet said, that is: economic control and economic war. Of course, there is still a long way to go to achieve this goal, but at the very least, the most critical step has been taken. Moreover, economic control and economic warfare, especially by manipulating changes in the value of money to achieve the purpose of plundering wealth, etc., Xiao Hao himself has not fully mastered, but only has this idea; not to mention, it is not easy to explain this thing; Xiao Hao has thought about it for a long time, and feels that he is not so free to interpret such knowledge that is ahead of the times for these people.
In this Dongsheng Shenzhou, wisdom needs to be kept secret!
In the end, on behalf of Haizhou, Xiao Hao's representative discussed with the Ziyue Pavilion, the Han Sect Legalist family, and the Mo family for a period of time, and then informed the Central Plains Terran Clan, informed the Hai Clan, the foreign clan, etc., that the first trading meeting would be held in a month's time, that is, on the New Year of the Terran Clan. (To be continued......)
