In the Qingzhou Prefectural Office in early September, Li Miao was reading the detailed monthly report sent by Wang Daoqi from the Liaodong Bureau. Wang Daoqi and his party took the Zhuanghe ship and went to the Liaodong Peninsula for a month.
Although Li Miao also got some information from the Liaodong Bureau. Most of it is information brought back by supply ships. Generally speaking, the progress of the Liaodong Bureau is going smoothly.
Wang Daoqi has occupied Zhuanghekou Port and its surrounding areas without encountering any resistance as expected. As for the details, Li Miao is still waiting for Wang Daoqi's monthly report, and now he has seen Wang Daoqi's monthly report. Li Miao was completely relieved.
Zhuanghekou Port has been completely controlled by the Liaodong Bureau, and five mausoleums have been built in key checkpoints such as the upper reaches of the river valley. It has laid a solid foundation for the stability of the Zhuanghekou area.
The Liaodong Bureau has also made full preparations for the resettlement of northern refugees this winter. The overall situation of the Liaodong Bureau has been decided, and there will be no major war in the Liaodong Bureau this year. The Liaodong Peninsula is still almost in a primitive state.
Except for the Dalian area where Jurchens are focusing on development, almost all other places are covered by virgin forests and sparsely populated. The Jurchen people have not yet fully developed the Liao River Basin, which is fertile land.
The Jurchen tribe has a small population, and even with the Han slaves they have conquered over the years, their population is only two to three million. There is no spare manpower to develop the Liaodong Peninsula.
It is also because of the importance of its geographical location in Dalian that the Jurchen tribe had to make great efforts to occupy and develop it. Port Arthur is an important supply point for Jurchen people's coastal ships.
Port Arthur is particularly important to the Jurchen people. Almost all their ships going south to trade with the Dazheng Dynasty had to dock at Port Arthur for supplies. Therefore, this is also the main reason why Li Miao did not dare to directly take over Port Arthur.
The Liaodong Bureau first captured the Zhuanghekou Port. When the Liaodong Bureau developed and expanded in the Zhuanghe area, it would be extremely difficult for the Jurchens to remove this nail. Nearly a thousand miles away, material supplies are a big problem.
In addition, the Liaodong Bureau has a mausoleum defense, which makes it even more foolproof. It is impossible for the Jurchen people to pay such a high price. It is not worth it for a Zhuanghekou port.
Others thought that Li Miao's purpose of developing the Liaodong Bureau was to quickly expand his power, including Wang Yonggui and Li Shi.
In fact, this is just a by-product of Li Miao's strengthening of his own strength. Of course, Li Miao is also willing to see it. His real purpose is to hold back the Jurchens.
Because Li Miao knew that the only real threat to the Zheng Dynasty was the Jurchen clan. The Jurchens are not like prairie Tatars who just rob and leave. Their ultimate goal is to occupy the Zheng Dynasty. Ruled the Zheng Dynasty.
The Jurchen tribe is not far away from establishing a country. If they can delay the progress of the Jurchens and buy more time for themselves, as long as they give Li Miao enough time, what do they think of the Jurchens?
As Li Miao has more and more large and small ships, Li Miao can use the advantages of the sea to further contain and even attack the Jurchens. Li Miao will definitely win Port Arthur and even the Dalian area in the end.
Lushun Port and even the entire Dalian area are the choke points. The Jurchens will not give up easily. Many of the Jurchens' current supplies were obtained by plundering the Great Zheng Dynasty and through sea trade with the southern part of the Great Zheng Dynasty.
As long as Li Miao completely captures the Dalian area, Li Miao will be able to completely block the Liaodong Sea. Cut off the most important maritime supply line for the Jurchen people. This restricted the rapid development of the Jurchen tribe.
Coupled with the containment of the Liaodong Bureau. At that time, the Jurchens will have to bite the hard nut of the Liaodong Bureau. At that time, Li Miao will teach the Jurchen people a profound lesson. Let the Jurchens pay a heavy price.
Li Miao's move is a sure-fire way to save the enemy. Only in this way can the purpose of containing the Jurchens be achieved. Otherwise, the Jurchens ignored them. Li Miao did not have the strength to fight against the Jurchens.
Comparing cavalry and field combat with the Jurchens, that is their strength. It is unwise to use one's own shortcomings to defeat others' strengths. Li Miao would not do such a stupid thing.
As time went by, Li Miao's chess skills continued to increase, and Li Miao was somewhat proud of being able to play such a good move. Wait until the Dalian area is completely captured. Build the bastion and wait for the Jurchens to attack.
The food in Li Miao's inner space was also completely emptied for the first time, and was transported to northern coastal areas such as Liaodong Bureau and Tongzhou. The Southern Bureau is also organizing the transfer of goods from the south to the north. Be prepared for the coming major changes in the north.
Li Miao's servants and villagers also accelerated the intensity and scale of training to enhance their strength as much as possible. The Southern Bureau lost a lot of blood due to the establishment of the Liaodong Bureau, and it is still recovering.
Armed support for the Northern Bureau was almost nil. Only a large number of guards from Qingzhou went north to support the Northern Bureau. Li Miao now loves Siqi even more.
If it weren't for Si Qi's early warning, how could Li Miao have responded more than half a year in advance. Li Miao repeatedly checked Si Qi's condition, but still couldn't find any problem.
But Li Miao felt that Si Qi must have paid something, and the price must not be small. Because Li Miao felt that if he only devoted so much luck to predict the grassland snow disaster. There must not even be a shadow to be seen.
This winter's incident, in a sense, gave Li Miao the opportunity to rapidly expand his strength. This may be how heroes emerge in troubled times. Moreover, Li Miao is still a hero who has more than half a year to prepare.
During this period, Li Miao also harvested the tea tree fruit with a small red scent. After taking it, it brought Li Miao the magical power of invisibility. Now Li Miao has four magical powers.
Except Yiyang Finger is a magical power that uses true energy. The only remaining ones are the magical power of breath condensation, the magical power of escaping from the earth, and the magical power of invisibility. The last three magical powers are all low-key magical powers, which are very useful for sneaking around.
Li Miao had just obtained the magical power and started to use it frequently in the backyard. No matter whether it was day or night, ordinary people had no reaction at all. But these women in Li Miao, maybe because they have Tao Yun, always feel that something is wrong.
Li Miao felt that it was normal. After all, no magical power was omnipotent. The devil was as high as the Tao. When you meet a powerful person, the invisibility technique will lose its effect. It is always a good thing to have another magical power. Isn't it a burden to have more skills?
As time entered October, Li Miao began to become more leisurely again. With the help of Wang Yonggui and Li Shi, everything developed according to the established direction. With the arrival of October in the golden autumn, Li Miao has also entered the season of harvesting luck.
This year's promotion of high-quality seeds in the north and south has greatly improved compared to last year. In the past few days, Li Miao has also been a little numb due to the unprecedented amount of luck. Li Miao's level of cultivation is also rapidly improving.
The initial stage of the ninth level, the middle stage of the ninth stage, the late stage of the ninth stage, and the peak stage of the ninth stage of the Qi training realm. This luck is indeed too much and too strong. It seems that we are doing the right thing by promoting high-quality seeds. What about next year? What about the year after next? Isn't that luck that makes me want it?
After the realm of cultivation reached the peak of the ninth level, although luck was still flowing in, the realm had not moved at all. Li Miao knew that if he broke through the realm again, he would build the foundation. Building a foundation couldn't be that easy.
Although Li Miao has a glass ball, he has always been passive in absorbing spiritual energy. Without complete cultivation techniques, he could not mobilize the spiritual energy in the inner space, so he could only wait for the glass ball to slowly feed him. How can a complete cultivation technique be so good?
At present, Li Miao only has three cultivation techniques of the twelve main meridians. The spice fruit of Lin Daiyu's breath should have matured long ago. The half-year period has long passed, but after such a long time, it has been delayed in maturing, just a little bit.
Li Miao secretly sensed that this spice fruit should be ripe due to the large amount of luck gained this time. Sure enough, Lin Daiyu's scented spice fruit finally matured under the impact of a lot of luck.
Lin Daiyu's first place among the Twelve Golden Hairpins is indeed not an unfounded reputation. Even the spices and fruits are so difficult to mature. In the past, the spice fruits of the golden hairpins would mature within half a year. If you double cultivate with the golden hairpin, the fruits can mature in advance.
