It was a matter of course that Dazao City was captured and entered the plain where the imperial capital of Beihai Kingdom was located.
Massive troops marched towards the foot of the imperial capital without encountering any decent resistance.
The Imperial Capital seemed to have lost its voice and allowed the army of the East China Sea to surround it.
No soldiers were seen on the city wall, and no general was heard mobilizing troops.
The originally tall city wall was deserted.
Such a city wall is an excellent defense in the cold weapon era.
It is impossible to capture such a strong city without killing several times the number of people on the attacking side.
But in front of artillery, such a tall city wall has lost its due meaning.
When will it be captured, there will no longer be a need for human lives to be piled up.
You just need to see if there are enough artillery and whether they are powerful enough.
Hundreds of artillery fired at the city wall for two days.
The northern city wall fell down amidst the exclamations.
The troops from East China Sea poured in like a tide.
There were continuous gunshots and screams everywhere.
This fighting method completely subverted their cognition.
It made the generals of Beihai Kingdom feel aggrieved when they fought, and they also felt aggrieved when they lost.
It only took one day to clear out the defeated troops of Beihai Kingdom scattered in the imperial capital.
But it took seven days to search and transport away Beihai's accumulated wealth.
Ship after ship of things was transported back to the East China Sea after being inspected by Jin Yiwei.
The generals who captured these things were recorded with great achievements.
With the fall of the Three Kingdoms, all four continents entered the era of East China Sea rule.
Under good policies, another three months have passed.
There are no people in the three countries who miss their previous countries anymore.
Now I eat well, drink well, and dress well.
No one wants to live the life that ghosts lived before.
There are only some people who had power in the past and could exploit the people at will.
Only at night will I secretly miss the wealth I once had.
With his miserable fate now, he fell asleep desolately.
The three newly conquered continents were under the guidance of Rhodes.
Start growing raw materials and building a new production workshop for primary processed products.
All high-end items, including various high-tech products, are still only available on the main island of East China Sea.
Even the schools are the same. There are only junior and middle schools in the three places.
Institutions of higher learning can only stay in the East China Sea forever.
As long as we have talent and high-tech, high-wage positions.
Only this island can always enjoy a dominant position.
It is also convenient for Rhodes to gather all high-quality resources in Chang'an.
Just when Rhodes was planning to build a new artificial fish (insect farming) breeding area.
He suddenly found that on his golden finger, something appeared out of time.
Stay time: 29:23:59.
Rhodes frowned.
It means... I can only stay here for thirty days?
The technology tree has not yet reached the height that I want.
Modern medicine is still in its bloody age.
There are not enough smart people at my disposal so far.
Biomass and minerals still have vast room for growth.
Why are there suddenly only thirty days left?
But he only hesitated for a moment before accepting this fate.
He immediately began to change his previous arrangements for steady development.
...........
"Brother Shen, why do you think the emperor did this?"
Zhang Tao, the prince of a general, asked Shen Xian who was standing next to him.
The original process of the reward conference was set, but Rhodes suddenly changed the process.
With one decree, all the current leaders of the generals were called to Chang'an.
During this time, those who are older are rushing around for fear of missing out.
Missing the deadline is a capital crime!
Shen Xian glanced at him and then at his father standing in front.
Said: "I don't know either."
Zhang Tao paused for a moment after hearing this, then smiled and said, "Brother Shen really loves to joke."
Shen Xian spread his hands:
"I really don't know. I have never thought about other people's thoughts in the first half of my life. How can a waste like me know nothing."
Zhang Tao smiled awkwardly, not knowing what to say.
At this moment, Rhodes came up surrounded by a group of eunuchs.
He sat on the dragon chair, looked at the group of generals below, and sighed.
The people below saw Rhodes shaking his head and immediately felt their whole bodies tense.
Rhodes said: "Everyone in the world says that all good birds are hidden in the air, while cunning rabbits are eaten by running dogs. What do you think?"
Some people with a bad mentality start to sweat on their faces.
Could it be that the emperor summoned us here and chopped us off with a knife?
I am the leader of the clan. If I die and the clan is leaderless, wouldn’t it mean that we are at the mercy of others?
Some people have already begun to look around to see if there are any ambush men around.
Rhodes shook his head.
"I think the world should not be like this. Those who have contributed should get what they deserve."
Rhodes held a booklet with their military achievements written on it.
After shaking, he continued:
“The great unification may appear to be full of flowers, but in fact it contains dangers.
When there is struggle outside, development will continue inside.
If there is no struggle outside, then people in the country will start to fight for power, and there will be constant internal strife.
In the end, the people will become a tool used by businessmen and officials, and the East China Sea Kingdom will fall apart. "
"Your Majesty, it's impossible! Our country in the East China Sea has a long history!"
When Rhodes heard this, he just waved his hand.
"Which dynasty have you seen that had hundreds of kings?
If our country, Donghai, continues to live as it is now, it will only survive for four to five hundred years. "
He pointed to the people below and continued:
"So I need some external pressure to prevent Donghai Kingdom from being like a stagnant water."
Just when everyone was confused and didn't understand what Rhodes wanted to express.
Rhodes suddenly shouted: "Shen Xian, get out of the queue!"
Shen Xian walked out of the queue, clasped his fists and knelt down towards Rhodes.
"The general is here!"
"In this battle, you attacked fifteen cities and captured more than 2.4 million taels, is that right?"
Shen Xian said: "Yes!"
"I will seal you in the North Kingdom, a land of ten cities, are you willing?"
As soon as Rhodes finished speaking, before Shen Xian could say anything, the courtroom exploded.
None of them expected that Rhodes would actually seal the land.
This is something that has never happened since the founding of the People's Republic of China!
Shen Xian also recovered from the shock at this time.
I saw him shouting loudly: "I am willing! I am willing to die for the emperor!"
His rich voice directly drowned out all the noise.
Seeing him kowtow heavily to him, Rhodes nodded with satisfaction.
But he went on to say:
"According to your merits, I will give you a thousand armors, a thousand weapons, and a thousand horses as gifts.
If you feel it's not enough, when your Shen family leaves, you can go to the Ministry of War to recruit soldiers and buy more military supplies. "
Shen Xian asked straightforwardly: "May I ask Your Majesty, can artillery and muskets be included in the sale?"
Rhodes nodded: "Also."
Everyone below heard this and exploded again.
None of them thought that such advanced weapons could be purchased directly?
Is Rhodes really not afraid of being overthrown?
Just kidding, I, Rhodes, am about to leave this world, I don’t care about you.
Rhodes distributed most of the land of the Three Kingdoms to these people based on their merits.
Rhodes originally had great use for these lands.
But with the departure time determined, now we can only let them use their last remaining heat.
After these people took the order and left, they took out the wealth that even Rhodes had not found for so many years from extremely secret corners.
Start recruiting troops and purchasing military supplies.
Rhodes asked the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Household Affairs to collect all the good things they took out.
The price is also quite good.
These people, with soldiers and countless supplies, set foot on their own fiefdom penniless.
He seems to be very rich, but he also seems to be very poor.
And those who are unwilling to sell their wealth and want to take it directly to the fiefdom.
Unfortunately, they all encountered unpredictable waves at sea and died in the sea one after another.
Through various means, all the things that Jiangmen had hoarded for many years fell into Rhodes' hands.
