Chapter 892 East Coast Development Plan
The port of Salmara was converted from the ruins of the original Zuamรกn, and before the port was fully built, Sarean visited once and dealt with some of the wrecking things done by the nobles.
On this second visit, the port of Salmara has already been officially put into use.
Ships departing from the port of Dasvisser, north of the Yongge Forest, will transport many of Silvermoon's goods to the port of Salmara by sea.
At the same time, the goods produced and transshipped from other countries in Unicorn Town can also be quickly transported to Silvermoon City through the port of Salmara, effectively accelerating the efficiency of cargo circulation.
In addition, the port of Salmarra, which has both civilian and military docks, is also responsible for defending against invading enemies at sea.
One experience of being raided north by Lordaeron's navy was enough, and Kael'thas didn't want to make the same mistake.
The waters around the port of Salmara are patrolled by Quel'Salas Navy patrol ships at all times.
After several years of development, Quel'Thalas's originally weak naval industry has made great progress, and it no longer needs to buy a large number of ships from Kurtilas, and it is basically self-sufficient.
After the navy gradually got on the right track, Salian made a proposal to Kael'thas to separate the daily patrol mission from the combat duty at sea, so as to avoid frequent naval sorties to provoke the "friendly neighbors" in the south.
Kael'thas also thinks that Sarren's words have a point, not only on patrols at sea, but also on land.
The army is an important weapon of the country, and it should not be dispatched lightly.
In view of this, Kael'thas intends to adopt Sarean's suggestion and establish a military police and a coast guard to maintain daily order on land and at sea.
However, these things have nothing to do with Salian for the time being, and the thoughts in his mind are only fleeting, and he does not dare to think about it deeply, so as not to be "killed" by his mother again.
Well, literally.
[When Yin Nasi woke up from her slumber at first, I thought she was a good wife and mother, but I didn't expect ......]
[When I woke up, I saw my son who had grown up, as a mother, the first impression should always be left, as for getting acquainted with it...... Then there is no need to play it again. ใ
As the barrage said, when Yin Nasi's soul was awakened just after hardships, Saray really thought that his mother was a gentle lady.
However, it didn't take long for Sarren to hear about Yinas's "great achievements" in her early years from the Temple of Dragon's Sleep.
The many legends left by this previous generation of demon kings are still circulating inside and outside the Dragon Sleep Temple, and even the great demon king of the younger generation of dragon clans, Kromie, does not dare to make a mistake in front of her.
"It's spectacular!"
Yin Nasi stood on a small merchant's hill in front of the entrance to the port of Salmara, holding a pergola and looking at the bustling port with great interest.
"That messy forest troll stinky shack has been transformed into such a bustling port city, and sure enough, it is the changes brought about by the development of civilization that can make people feel the passage of time the most."
Instead of taking his mother's words, Salian raised his eyes to look out at the turquoise sea outside the harbor.
Patrol boats flying the Phoenix flag of Quel'Salas still dutifully sail on the sea, and ships of all sizes can enter and exit the docks almost at any time, presenting a thriving scene.
Valera also said with some emotion: "This is still the East Coast with a relatively low flow of people, so you can roughly know how rich the Windranger family sitting on the West Coast has been over the years. โ
As Valilla said, the connection between the ports of Salmara and Dasviser on the east coast is mainly responsible for domestic maritime logistics, and international trade usually goes to the west coast.
Further south, only East Wilderdam, which belongs to Lordaeron, would send cargo ships to sell goods and purchase Quirquil Salast products.
Farther south is the Hinterland Heights, where it is apparently impossible for the trolls to trade with the feuding High Elves.
There are no harbors on the eastern shore of the Arathi Heights, Lokmodan and Wetlands, as do the Burning Plains and the Red Crest Mountains.
Only Northeron, the Wastelands, the Swamp of Sorrows, and the Lands of the Damned have direct access to the waters east of Quel'Salas by sea route.
However, for various reasons, these places have almost no shipping to and from Quel'Thalas.
Far away in the southernmost tip of the continent, Treasure Cove, Thorn Valley, occasionally sends merchant ships from the east coast to escape the Bloodsail pirates who are plundering the west coast.
However, this situation is only temporary, and through the information provided by the Backlight Blade, Salian has always been aware of the changes in the situation inside and outside the Eastern Kingdoms.
Due to the high cost of transportation to and from Hinterland's outside world through extremely rough trade routes, the Hammer Dwarves in Eagle's Nest Mountain adopted Sarjan's proposal and intended to open up a sea route.
The current Hammerlord is an old acquaintance of Sarean, Kudran the "Dragon Reacher" Brutehammer.
Since the former leader of the Brute Hammer Clan, Kudran Brutehammer, volunteered to stay with the expeditionary force to stay in Draenor, the war hero of Furstad had no choice but to take on the responsibility of leading the people.
Furstad and his fellow griffons, Swiftwing, are confident in battle, even in the face of the orcs' Red Dragon Knights in World War II.
However, he was born in a military force and was deeply suspicious of his ability in internal affairs, and in the years since he became the temporary Grand Lord, Furstad has been walking on thin ice, carefully maintaining the original territory of the Brute Hammer Dwarves, and does not dare to easily break the balance.
The Hammer Dwarves have a more aggressive temper than the Copperbeard Dwarves who live in the city, and they don't like Furstad's cautious style of governance.
Some of the enterprising Hammer Dwarves left the Eagle's Nest Mountain, crossed the Arathi Highlands and wetlands, and returned to the former homeland of the Hammer Dwarves, Noseron.
Since the Twilight Hammer clan of Gugal was driven out, the old capital of Grimbaatar has been completely abandoned.
After more than 200 years of idleness, the curse that Mordgood, Queen of Black Iron at the time of the Battle of the Three Hammers, cast on Grimbaatar has long since dissipated.
The southbound Hammer Dwarves resettled in Grimbaatar, and urged their fellow Eagle's Nest to return to their homeland and work together to develop the long-unmanaged Northeron Heights.
Seeing more and more Brutehammer Dwarves leaving the Eagle's Nest Mountain to explore the wilderness south, Furstad finally couldn't sit still.
After consulting with the griffin knights and shamans, Furstad decided to accept Sarjan's advice and adjust his overly cautious approach to governance.
Since the opening of the port of Salmara the year before, the Hammer Dwarves of Eagle's Nest Mountain have been making their way to the coastline beneath the cliffs in eastern Hinterland, setting up a number of sentry posts along the way to defend against the invasion of the trolls.
The coast of eastern Hinterland is not dominated by the Evil Trolls, and is occupied by another small forest troll clan that has been oppressed by the Trolls for many years, the Evil Tooth Clan.
At the suggestion of the shamans, Furstad tried to send emissaries to communicate with the Badtooth Trolls, and it turned out to be a good diplomatic success.
Although they are both forest trolls, the Evil Tooth Clan does not have the slightest affection for the Evil Branch Clan, which has always been strong.
After a bit of diplomatic effort, the Badtooth Clan agreed to let the Hammer Dwarves build a port north of the coastline.
In return, the Hammer Dwarves need to send troops to rescue the Evil Tooth Clan, who has been captured by the Trolls of the Evil Branch and is preparing to sacrifice the son of the chief.
If the Hammer Dwarves can successfully complete their mission, there will be one more trade partner on the east coast of Quel'Thalas.
On the other hand, the Hammer branch that went south to develop Notheron also intended to open up a port, and the Copperbeard Dwarves based in the Badlands also intended to establish closer maritime ties with Quel'Thalas.
In the next few years, the maritime trade industry on the east coast has good prospects and should bring more lucrative income to Quel'Salas.
However, in order to completely open up the maritime trade routes on the east coast, Quel'Thalas needs to solve a roadblock diplomatically.
Kingdom of Lordaeron.
Just as Sarren lowered his head to consider the diplomatic strategy with the Lordaeron Kingdom, he keenly noticed that his mother's gaze had turned again, so he could only give up helplessly for the time being, and showed a sincere smile to Yin Nasi who was suspicious.
"Humph! Count you as a kid. โ
Yin Nasi snorted angrily: "I repeat, don't think so much about what you don't have when you come out to play, work is work, life is life, and the two can't be confused." โ
"Let's go and rent a boat on the pier and let Mommy show you some real sea fishing skills."
"Uh~ what then."
With a strange expression, Sarian pointed to the docks of Salmara Harbor, where a gorgeous ship with golden red livery was docked in one of the private docks that was deserted.
"No need to lease, when the port of Salmara was completed, the Sun King gave me a high-end yacht in recognition of my planning work."
Yinnasi: "...... Why didn't you say it earlier? โ
'You didn't give me a chance to say it......
