He suddenly raised his head and looked into Liu Zheng's smiling eyes in the air.
It's like there's an electric current running through my body!
this……
What does it mean?
Isn't he here to punish someone?
no!
Niu Chaofeng was so excited that he didn't know what to say.
"Thank you, sir, thank you, sir!"
He kowtows on the ground: "My lord's decree, the common people must not forget it! We will definitely catch up with the first wave of farming this year!"
Liu Zheng laughed loudly: "Get up quickly, let's go, take me to see your territory."
Others were also excited.
Does this mean everything is okay?
Niu Chaofeng stood up excitedly.
He carefully followed Liu Zheng and led him around.
Three thousand acres of land is really a lot.
Even in modern society, he is still a large-scale farmer.
What surprised Liu Zheng was that he knew Niu Chaofeng's origin, he was just a gangster in the village. But what he showed was eye-catching. The entire three thousand acres of land was planned by him in an orderly manner, including watchtowers, fortifications, and tunnels.
Then there are the places where so many of his people live, and they are all made of solid stone and loess houses.
In other words, the conditions where these people live are still very good.
Looking at Niu Chaofeng again, he lives in a similar place to these people, but the location is in the most suitable place for management.
Liu Zheng nodded frequently.
There is a special place for storing farm tools and machinery, and everything looks orderly.
Looking at the people following Niu Chaofeng, most of them are young people, the oldest is only forty years old.
This is a young and energetic team.
They represent the mainstay of Long Yan.
They yearn for a better life.
When Liu Zheng left, he solemnly left a Yellow Dragon Medal to Niu Chaofeng.
"The splendor of opening up borders, the glory of guarding the country."
Everyone, all confused.
…
A medal scared many people.
Niu Chaofeng, however, almost floated away and burst into tears of gratitude. I originally thought that Liu Shilang was here to punish the sinner, but unexpectedly, he gave himself a big reward!
A scholar dies for a confidant!
Niu Chaofeng, who is full of heroic spirit, has regarded Liu Shilang as a close friend who can die for him!
On the way back.
King Yong was a little strange: "I'm just a country man. As for giving him the Yellow Dragon Medal?"
The Yellow Dragon Medal is the highest-level medal a Protectorate can produce!
Liu Zheng took a deep breath and said with a wry smile: "If you want others to work for you, you have to come up with something."
"Working hard?"
King Yong was a little puzzled.
Liu Zheng nodded and said a little tiredly: "King Yong, our front is too long... At least in Liaodong, we cannot have a huge conflict with Tsarist Russia in a short period of time."
This is something Liu Zheng has been thinking about recently.
war.
It's just a huge machine that burns money and sucks blood.
No matter how rich Silver Beach City is, it cannot afford to build it like this. Now his troops' battle line has been stretched too long. On the Central Asian side, India's development is still burning money, and Silver Beach City continues to receive blood transfusions. Ling Chen is another restless master. This time, the war against the Safi Dynasty requires the consumption of a large amount of weapons, equipment, and food supplies, which is not a small amount.
The land of the Southern Barbarians.
Huo Buquli can be self-sufficient, and there is support from Bashu behind him.
But weapons and equipment still need to be supplied by Silver Beach City.
Let’s look at Liaodong again.
Liu Zheng must fight against the Japanese country, and there are still remnants of the Tang Dynasty who are watching with eager eyes.
He must win Southeast Asia. Because that is the real holy land of spices. He clearly remembered that in the previous life, the Dutch Empire had already expanded its colonial territory to Southeast Asia, including Java, which was Batavia, and later Jakarta, Sumatra, and the Spice Islands...
But maybe there are remnants of the prosperous Tang Dynasty in this world, which have changed this situation.
The Dutch spice colonies went to Africa.
And the Cape of Good Hope was established early in Africa.
The battle lines are too many and too long.
If there is really going to be a conflict with the Ottomans in Central Asia, then Yintan City and the Western Regions must concentrate on supplying Lingchen.
so.
Liaodong can no longer withstand a war that breaks the muscles and bones.
Tsarist Russia.
He couldn't afford it for the time being.
I don’t want to mess with it either.
because.
At this time in Europe, a powerful empire had begun to show its strength.
That is.
Great Britain.
Davis, a Dutch tea merchant, was taken away by Liu Zheng, but the Netherlands had nothing to do about it. It can be seen that at this time, the Netherlands, the former maritime overlord, had begun to decline.
Because just a few years ago, the first Anglo-Dutch War ended in victory for Britain in the Mediterranean. In this war, Britain showed the world its strong industrial strength, military strength, naval equipment, quantity, firepower and tactics. Level, how important is it?
And at the same time.
Another powerful empire in Europe was also rising.
Louis XIV had been on the throne for many years, a powerful centralized kingdom that had profited from the Anglo-Dutch wars.
This is a very important time point.
Liu Zheng clearly remembered that after the second Anglo-Dutch War, the third Anglo-Dutch War was initiated by France.
This time.
France won a great victory because of France's excellent diplomatic methods, which played a huge role in Sweden, Britain, and other European countries.
and prompted Britain's Glorious Revolution.
Last time.
Liu Zheng asked Rhodes, had the Glorious Revolution happened?
Clearly, it has happened.
Coupled with the Vienna War and the First Russo-Turkish War, comprehensively...
At this point in time, the Third Anglo-Dutch War has ended.
Britain and France became the two biggest protagonists in Europe.
That is to say.
At this time, Liu Zheng had to face several major enemies at the same time: Peter the Great, Louis XIV, Britain, and the Ottomans.
Time is tight and the task is heavy.
The first thing Liu Zheng needs to do now is to develop Liaodong and capture Japan and Nanyang.
Control spices, tea leaves.
Then……
His goal is clear.
He's going to be in five years.
Take the Suez Canal.
Suez, on the other hand, was under Ottoman rule.
…
War is a waste of money.
Especially this kind of devastating war.
Silver Beach City's artillery is an improved Hongyi cannon, with a range of up to three kilometers! This is the most advanced Hongyi cannon in the world, and its range is twice as high!
At this time, Ling Chen was also shocked by the muskets just sent from Silver Beach City.
because.
Too advanced.
When he advanced, he wanted to throw away the weapon in his hand and charge into the battle with this musket.
In just a few years.
Silver Beach City, including Liangshan's scientific research laboratory.
The flintlock guns that have been "imported" from abroad have been improved into rifled guns, and this time, they directly sent a flash cap percussion gun...
Although.
Even the percussion gun is not as convenient and fast as the bows, arrows and crossbows they are used to.
But he could feel it...
Muskets have taken an increasingly important role in war.
as well as.
The cost of a war is getting higher and higher.
Two months after Lingchen's devastation, the Safi Dynasty's first large-scale resistance finally took place.
