In the country of Danyang, Wu Fanghai, as the commander of the Five Nations Alliance, was invited by the Emperor of the Kingdom of Danyang to officially visit the Emperor.

Meeting, the emperor of the country of Danyang is grateful to the left and the right is grateful, in short, I am very grateful for the help of your five countries...... Time to fuck off?

Wu Fanghai said very seriously: "Your Majesty, the foreign minister is about to say goodbye to Your Majesty. It's just that His Majesty has one more thing to do. ”

"What's the matter?" the Emperor of the Kingdom of Danyang frowned.

"Please issue an edict from Your Majesty, cut off from the country of Canglan and rejoin the West!"

The Emperor's nervous eyes suddenly relaxed a lot. I thought it was something. It's a simple thing, but it's also important. The name is something that cannot be seen or touched, but sometimes it is really crucial.

In the afternoon of the same day, the Emperor of the Kingdom of Danyang officially announced the abolition of the unequal treaty with the country of Canglan, and completely put the relevant responsibility on the Prime Minister Wang Fei, accusing Wang Fei and related interest groups of deciding. Then, Wang Fei became a scapegoat.

It's not killing, that's chilling. But he deposed Wang Fei's prime minister. The new prime minister who was activated is very interesting - it turned out to be the former treasurer of the royal family in the country of Danyang, Chao Yue.

This meaning is obvious, this is also to follow the example of the country of Qixia, the development of industry and commerce. Not only that, the Emperor of the Land of Danyang also surrendered his identity and asked Wu Fanghai to take Chao Yue to the Land of Qixia to study.

Wu Fanghai did not refuse, and this is also a good opportunity to bring the two countries closer. After the announcement of the Emperor of the Land of Danyang, the coalition forces began to retreat.

However, except for the autumn of the country of Qixia, there was no crime, and the other four army corps were all 'fully loaded'. And the land dispute between the country of Jinyang and the country of Danyang, the country of Qixia did not open its mouth - you two countries are right, I just look at the excitement.

For the country of Qixia, it is not a good thing that the rest of the countries are harmonious.

No, the country of Zhoushan and the country of Zhongshan also made some trouble - the caravan of the country of Yanyun to buy pills, if they want to pass through the two countries, they must pay taxes!

The country of Yanyun to the country of Qixia is separated by the country of Zhoushan. Some time ago, the country of Yanyun invaded the country of Zhoushan, causing great damage to the country of Zhoushan.

No, the country of Yanyun can only take the curve, preparing to cross the country of Jinyang and the country of Zhongshan. But the country of Zhongshan also collects taxes, which are lower than those of Zhoushan, but they are also very painful.

Just as Zhang Hao, Liu Xinyu and the thinkers of the country of Qixia analyzed, as long as the country of Qixia sells pills at a low price and does not become the target of public criticism, the rest of the countries will naturally become a mess because of contradictions.

In this way, the country of Qixia can mediate and act as the captain.

In such an international atmosphere, Liu Xinyu once again informed all countries that an industrial and commercial expo will be held at the end of the year in the country of Qixia, and at that time, the country of Qixia will build an exposition venue on the site of the imperial palace in Guangling City, and all countries are sincerely invited to participate. And a detailed plan was published.

The news spread, and it caused quite a stir for a while. The development model of the country of Qixia is becoming more and more unfamiliar, but it seems to be ...... This works because the business class in each country is active.

At this time, it was only a month before the end of the year, and after some trading houses in the country of Zhongshan got the news, they began to set out, bringing all kinds of spiritual materials from the country of Zhongshan.

For a time, the entire Western countries of the Fertile Land Continent began to be affected by the country of Qixia. This scope of influence not only includes the former Six Kingdoms, but even the country of Qingyun in the further north, and even the country of Canglan that was once hostile, and so on.

Since Liu Xinyu has publicly stated that he wants to open his door to do business, the industrial and commercial classes in various places naturally have no reason to refuse. The industrial and commercial class will not be inseparable from wealth.

And it was in this atmosphere that an even more fiery aura exploded -- the second steel battleship of the Dayang Group will conduct its first sea trial in three days! And this time, the displacement of the steel battleship has reached an astonishing ...... 12800 tons, almost three times the size of the Zhiyuan battleship!

When the news spread, there was an uproar! Is the shipbuilding speed of the Dayang Group ...... Although according to the Dayang Group, it will take about a month to outfit after the sea trials, it is still shocking.

Especially with a displacement of 12,800 tons, countless well-informed people opened their mouths wide - the Zhiyuan battleship, which had a displacement of only 4,100 tons, bombarded the country of Langya twice, but the country of Langya did not say anything.

Nowadays, coastal countries, including the country of Langya and the country of Canglan, are thinking about the construction of steel warships, but before everyone has time to do it, the Ocean Group has begun the sea trial of the second warship.

For a while, there were more people going to the land of Qixia.

In this atmosphere, Ma Jianliang, an amateur intelligence officer and commander of the First Water Division from the country of Langya, also rushed from the country of Danyang, which had just ended the war, to the country of Qixia.

Ma Jianliang missed his residence after a day's journey, so he could only temporarily find a good place in the mountains and arrange a formation to rest - or he deliberately avoided his residence. Because it is close to Ninghe County.

He wants to reduce his presence as much as possible, and will try to experience it as an ordinary person to see if he can board the second steel giant ship.

But the formation base that Ma Jianliang took out was not a formation base in the conventional sense, but a ...... There are more than 500 '100 yuan bills'.

After these banknotes were injected into the true yuan, they began to fly and combine according to Ma Jianliang's will, and finally formed a defensive enchantment enchantment with a stealth effect!

The most important characteristic of the Vientiane Infinite Array is that there is no limit. As long as there is enough formation base, as long as there is enough formation knowledge, you can arrange an infinite variety of formations.

One of the most important reasons for the rapid success of the banknotes issued by Luzhou Bank is that these banknotes can be used to set up formations!

Banknotes of different denominations can be combined with each other to form an infinite number of perfect formations.

As long as you have money, you can do it!

More precisely, as long as there are banknotes.

Zhang Hao's banknotes made of Vientiane Infinite Array and Mixed Yuan Essence Gold were even more popular in the cultivation world than Zhang Hao expected.

At this time, Ma Jianliang not only used banknotes to arrange a defensive enchantment, but also arranged a spirit gathering array and so on. With money, you can throw away the flags and everything. The efficiency of the Vientiane Infinity Array is so good that anyone who has used it can feel it.

In the past, the reason why everyone didn't use the Vientiane Infinite Array was that not many people knew about it, and the mixed element essence gold needed to consume a large amount of spiritual materials and could not be recovered. But Zhang Hao is not a problem here.

Before he knew it, it was a night, and the next day Ma Jianliang began to hide his cultivation, changed his ordinary clothes, disguised himself as a Western native, mixed with the people of Ninghe County, and slowly rushed to the oasis port.

Along the way, Ma Jianliang saw a lot of scenes that surprised him.

Wide 'highways', reasonably priced toll booths, smiling people. There are no aristocrats here, and the common people meet merchants, etc., and they are not the kind of awe, fear, and alienation that they used to encounter nobles, but they take the initiative to get close, and there are even people who buy things from passing merchants.

The highway is also very interesting, and the middle part is a horse-drawn carriage, etc., and it is pedestrians twice. Toll booths are mainly for horse-drawn carriages.

Walking along the road, you will find that the highway passes through the dense area of the village, and there will definitely be culverts dug under the road, which are generally 2.5 to 2.7 meters high, enough to pass most vehicles. If you really can't, you can cross it from the highway.

Before, Ma Jianliang was just in a hurry, but he didn't observe the changes in the country of Qixia. But when he saw it, he was shocked.

Such a society made him, a bystander, see "hope".

All the way along with the people, when he entered the Zhangjia fiefdom, Ma Jianliang saw the railway being built. It was a three-metre-wide road paved with I-beams and sleepers. It looks like a ladder on the ground.

The front is rammed with earth, the back is paved with thick stones, and then sleepers and rails are placed. The sleepers seem to have been soaked with some kind of simple drug, and they have a faint blue-black color.

"This is the railway?" Ma Jianliang shook his head slightly, he couldn't see what this thing was for—except for waste. Black iron is also iron, and such a waste will be thundered by the sky.

Moving on, from a distance, I saw the lighthouse at the port location, and the colorful light reached into the sky like a sharp sword. Follow the railway all the way to Changshan Town, and it was suddenly lively.

Today's Changshan Town, which can already be called 'Changshan City', has expanded to an area of 10 kilometers, full of people, and horse-drawn carriages have been blocked here. But more people squeezed towards the beach.

Tomorrow is the sea trial, but people have already gone to line up in advance.

In the sky above Zhang's house, the aura of the transformation period faintly echoed, making no one dare to make a mistake, including Ma Jianliang - he was just here to spy on intelligence, not to find fault.

finally squeezed to the beach and found a mountain, Ma Jianliang waited quietly. A practitioner's time is sometimes the most invaluable, and it is already dawn the next day when you close your eyes and meditate for a while, and then open your eyes.

The guards of the Zhang family have begun to maintain order on the port, and let people take lots to board the ship to experience. Although it was a sea trial, the Zhang family also took the opportunity to show their strength. This sea trial will be released in advance, and ordinary spectators will be invited to board the ship to experience it by drawing lots.

There are already more than a dozen lots on the seashore, and the boxes are made of dark iron and have seals. Everyone could only reach out and grope and take out paper balls one by one.

Writing is printed in the paper ball.

The sun rose in the east, and suddenly the Zhang family guards shouted from the port position, everyone began to draw lots, and the second steel battleship was about to start sea trials.

Ma Jianliang immediately stood up and began to line up and draw lots. He was a little nervous, and he didn't know if he could catch it?

Suddenly, there was a melodious, long, and thick sound on the sea - Ma Jianliang later learned that this was called a whistle. This is a device that uses high-pressure steam to produce sound.

This time, the second steel battleship, in the power system, uses an oil-fired steam boiler and a steam turbine, instead of a spirit stone-driven turbine.

For the time being, which turbine is better is still being debated. However, the steam turbine that has been developed so well has shown excellent performance.

The whistle gradually approached, and behind a mountain cliff, a huge steel giant ship that shocked Ma Jianliang slowly appeared.

The giant ship has not yet completed outfitting, it is only a sea trial, the deck is empty, and there are even bare steel beams in many places, and there are still huge holes in the position where the guns are placed.

However, the most obvious thing on the giant ship is a flat, more than 10 meters high "chimney", this chimney is about three meters thick, five or six meters wide, showing a flat oval shape. At this time, the chimney was emitting faint black smoke.

Dugu Junjie, who had just completed his fifth voyage, stood in the bow of the ship in high spirits. He put his hands behind his back and held his head high.

The giant ship slowly approached, gradually entering everyone's sight. Countless people opened their mouths in surprise.

The huge steel monster with a length of more than 160 meters and a width of 27 meters gradually reveals its majestic body. There were actually two holes in the middle and rear of the giant ship draining outward, and the water was steaming hot, and the temperature seemed to be very high.

And there are four big characters on the side of the giant ship: Iron Duke!

The name of the first battleship was 'Zhiyuan'. Apparently the name of this second battleship is the 'Iron Duke'.

"Why is it such a strange name?" Ma Jianliang was a little puzzled.

The huge battleship gradually sailed out of the cliff, gradually revealing its all. An indescribable shock came to my face.

Suddenly, there was a commotion in the distance, and Ma Jianliang faintly heard a voice saying that the empress was coming.

(The second one, tired and want to take oxygen...... The brain is wooden. ）
