Chapter 38 Farewell to Zhao Min
In the spring of 1343 AD, after the new round of expansion, Cheng Pan once again focused his attention on industrial development in the territory. After this military aggression, Cheng Pan's sphere of influence increased greatly. The entire territory was basically distributed along the Yangtze River. It reached the east of Chaohu in the northeast and today's Hanshan County and County. It was a generation in Hanshan County and Hexian in the southwest. It reached Tongling in Wuwei County, and the northwest occupied half of Shucheng County today. However, Cheng Pan did not dare to go further in the south of the Yangtze River. It just firmly grasped the Ma'anshan Mining Area. The Battle of Hudong
Not only did it destroy the courage of the Yuan army in Jianghuai, but it also emptied the ammunition reserves that Cheng Pan had stockpiled. After provoking one province, Cheng Pan dared not provoke another province. Moreover, the strongest military force in Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces was too close to Cheng Pan's main base. The reason why the Henan Jiangbei province did not use all its efforts to kill Cheng Pan was one of the reasons that Cheng Pan's sphere of influence was on the edge of the province. If Cheng Pan dared to make any moves in Jiangnan, the large number of elite cavalry in Hangzhou would let Cheng Pan know what it means to not die.
In addition to the harvest of the territory, there is also the population. Cheng Pan's expansion this time completely increased the population under his rule to 700,000. These populations need to take some time to digest. At this time, Cheng Pan had completely mastered the coal mines in Wuwei County. Miners began to have enthusiasm for work under Cheng Pan's scientific management. At the same time, with the use of steam engines, the scale of coal mining increased, and a large number of coal mines went down the river to support the steel industry on the other side of Ma'anshan. At the same time, iron ore was also found in Wuwei County, and a large number of steel workers and technicians were mobilized by Cheng Pan to prepare to build a second steel plant.
But it was not without a price to get all this. Cheng Pan knew that his current strength had almost reached the bottom line of the Yuan Dynasty. If there were no other changes, if Cheng Pan had any irregular actions, waiting for Cheng Pan would be a full-scale war. Imagine that before the battle, Cheng Pan formed a 5,000-man firearm army and a powerful artillery soldier in the Napoleon period. At that time, Cheng Pan was full of energy and felt that if he wanted, half of the country was in his hands. After a battle, Cheng Pan knew how much the consumption of the semi-industrial army was. His army was indeed terrifying, but the foundation of his territory made this army terrifying at most two or three times. If the Yuan Dynasty conscripted cannon fodder desperately, he was really sad.
In order to ease the atmosphere between himself and the Yuan Dynasty, Cheng Pan accepted the invitation from the Yuan Dynasty and agreed to work in another place. Although it took more than a year for this series of official procedures to go through, Cheng Pan had to prepare early. Now the construction of the land corps is basically the same, with a large amount of labor tilting into it, and the shipbuilding industry will soon develop in large quantities. At the same time, in order to establish the seaside industry a year later, Cheng Pan began to hoard various materials.
There is a reason why Cheng Pan chose Rugao County on the beach. Due to the booming development of the chemical industry, sodium chloride is not as expensive as industrial consumption. If salt production technology in current time and space is used for industrial production, it will lose money to death. Fortunately, Cheng Pan has a bug in stealing money, which can be temporarily supported. However, it is completely impossible to expand the import volume of salt. It is imperative to obtain salt production and industrial salt production.
In this regard, in order to build a new salt drying plant in the future, the cement industry will be expanded. Moreover, a large number of shipbuilding craftsmen and shipbuilding technical materials on the beach were dug up by high salaries and bought at high prices. Now is not the 21st century, and the beach is far less developed than the inland. Except for a few large foreign ports, the rest of the seaside people yearn for the inland. In this era, a large part of the reason why people came to the beach to beg for food was because the previous generation lost their land in the inland and had to come to the sea to get food. The foreign trade group offered a house, a high salary, and free children.
After the conditions of education, the boatmakers were not obstructed by the weak local consciousness and came to work in the territory. Of course, they were not completely unaware of local consciousness, and a considerable number of people had land on the beach. However, Cheng Pan proposed the general company of working, which was to take the boatmakers and their families at the same time, and provide free accommodation and basic food for the boatmakers' families as employers. If the boatmakers were uncomfortable working in the territory, they could take their families away at any time. At the same time, the severance fee was paid when the boatmakers wanted to leave.
Therefore, when spring warmed up, several large pits appeared on the Hezhou Yangtze River, and under the command of the shipwreck, steel keels had begun to be erected.
Just as Cheng Pan was developing potential for future chaos, an uninvited guest visited Cheng Pan again. Since Cheng Pan grasped the Wuwei Coal Mine, a businessman kept asking about Cheng Pan's whereabouts and wanted to visit Cheng Pan. This was the shopkeeper Huang who Cheng Pan had dealt with when he first went to Wuwei to buy coal. After receiving the news, Cheng Pan thought about the person behind Zhang Guan Huang and decided to meet him.
In the hall, Manager Huang bowed deeply after seeing Cheng Pan. Cheng Pan bowed and said, "Mr. Cheng still has a look for the same style for many days." Cheng Pan took a sip of tea and pretended to be impatient and said, "Stop talking nonsense, I'm very busy, what does your heroine tell you to say?" Manager Huang was so straightforward that he was holding it in his throat by Cheng Pan's unceremonious sentence. All the negotiation drafts in his stomach were invalid.
At first, the man who knew magical powers and was killed by an elite cavalry of one thousand people, did not dare to say respectfully: "My master wants to meet with the sir." Cheng Pan said: "You decide the time and place, but it must be arranged in the past few days and not too far from the county. I am very busy." Manager Huang said: "At the afternoon three days later, Shucheng County, Yuyue Inn." Cheng Pan said: "I understand." Manager Huang said: "Then I'm going to say goodbye." Cheng Pan said: "I won't give it away."
Three days later, Cheng Pan dressed in white and came to the agreed place. The entire inn was surrounded by guards. Zhao Min had already been waiting here. Compared to two years ago, the little loli had already begun to develop. Cheng Pan looked at the surrounding guards and walked over as if he was ignoring. Some guards saw Cheng Pan walking straight to stop him. As soon as they approached Cheng Pan, they couldn't help but retreat. At this time, the guards next to him pulled out their weapons. At this time, the guards around Zhao Min said, "Go back, it's the guest here." At this time, the guards made a way out. Zhao Min saw a look of surprise in Cheng Pan's eyes. He stared at Cheng Pan's face carefully. Cheng Pan felt a little uncomfortable being stared at by a little girl, so he said, "Zhao Yatou, look for him today.
What's my fault?" Zhao Min retreated her eyes and said, "Master Cheng left last time, your wound was not left at all. I heard Xiao Huang's description yesterday, but I still don't believe it. When I saw this today, you are amazing." Cheng Pan glanced at the group of guards behind Zhao Min, the two elders Xuanming, as well as the burned Tou Tuo and others were all there. Xuanming's eyes were dodging when facing Cheng Pan. At this time, the two elders Xuanming were extremely surprised at this time. Compared with two years ago, although Cheng Pan's martial arts skills were higher than those of him, he could still use two moves with Cheng Pan's hands with his Yin and Cold true energy attributes. But now when they face Cheng Pan, they seemed to have encountered natural enemies, and Cheng Pan felt like a piece of hot iron. It seemed that they would face huge pressure when connecting to the short-range climb.
In fact, because the Yin attribute physique of the two elders Xuanming is much more sensitive to the power of the sun than ordinary people. Yes, Cheng Pan is now their natural enemy, and the power attribute of the Sun is one level higher than that of the true qi. This is the suppression of the superior power.
Cheng Pan fixed his eyes on the chests of the two elders Xuanming and said, "The black jade intermittent ointment is worthy of the holy medicine for bone collection. The collapse of the sternum can recover as much as before." Zhao Min's face suddenly became stiff. He originally wanted to ask Cheng Pan for the secret technique of recovering the scars on his face, but Cheng Pan pointed out the leg of the famous medicine in his family. The black-bellied girl quickly adjusted her mind and said, "Sir, the wise eyes are like a torch, and I hope you agree to what you do here today." Cheng Pan replied, "Speak out first. Your request has always been difficult, and it is difficult for me to agree." Zhao Min put on a cute smile and said, "Sir, you are very skilled in martial arts, and Zhao Min is willing to be a teacher." Cheng Pan has done it
Zhao Min made a strange request for preparation, and he paused in his heart when he heard this. He answered a second later: "I am following the way of Chunyang. The inheritance of the whole body cannot be passed on to a woman." Zhao Min said: "Sir, look down on a woman?" Cheng Pan felt that he would be taken to the ditch if he continued, so he said: "I don't want to, no one can force you to come down and try it." Zhao Min's face did not change and used her feet to make a hidden action behind her. This was the guard behind her shouting, "Arrogant" and taking action together. Originally, he didn't know what Zhao Min's feet did in Cheng Pan's super feeling, but found that everyone behind her used his light to scan it, Cheng Pan was sure that this was a secret code.
In the midst of the oncoming fists and feet, Cheng Pan gently stroked the fists and palms attacked by the guards with his hand, and specially maintained his movements. The attacks of several people were instantly disintegrated. The golden sun power flashed with a luxurious breath, and along the guard's hand, it penetrated into their bodies like an arrow, destroying the true energy in their bodies. It pierced into their meridians like a burning red iron thorn. Among them, the two elders Xuanming were the most miserable. Their yin physique was the greatest torture when facing the power of the sun coming to the sun. The Xuanming true energy in their body evaporated in a few breaths, which weakened half of the sun's power. The remaining sun power burned one-third of their meridians like boiling water before dissipating. The two elders Xuanming had to rest for at least three months and could not use the true energy.
There was no breath, from Zhao Min making small moves to a few people screaming on the ground. Zhao Min's face was completely frozen. These rows of archers rushed out from the second floor of the inn and pointed at Cheng Pan with arrows. Cheng Pan didn't care about this. Even if Cheng Pan didn't use superman's first-class reaction speed to avoid the arrows, these arrows could not penetrate Cheng Pan, which was comparable to the rubber-skinned flesh of the wheel, and at most a little skin was broken. Cheng Pan looked at Zhao Min and said jokingly: "Girl, you can't use your feet to command the arrows." Cheng Pan's words completely dispelled Zhao Min's idea of using cleverness. She was a little angry and shouted to the archers, "Go back, go back, who wants you to come out." The archers retreated one after another. Zhao Min looked at the groaning guards underground and said, "People come and carry them down."
After a few minutes, the scene returned to its original state. Cheng Pan savored the tea and said, "Good tea, sandalwood is also good. These two moves can kill many martial arts masters." After that, the golden sun's true energy rose from the palm of the tea cup, boiling the tea water. Then he stopped exercising his skills and placed the tea cup on the table.
Zhao Min's eyes were exposed, and there was a despair involuntarily. Cheng Pan said, "Prince Zhao, just say anything if you have anything to do." Zhao Min said seriously, "Mr. Cheng, you are smelting a lot of iron, right?" Cheng Pan: "Not bad." Zhao Min continued, "You are here, training troops." Cheng Pan said, "You can think so." Zhao Min's voice became louder and said, "You want to rebel." Cheng Pan glanced at Zhao Min and said, "It's not a rebellion, it's just for self-protection. You won't know if the village I just came to was slaughtered by the government army a few years ago." Zhao Min said, "Your force has exceeded the standard of self-protection." Cheng Pan said, "That's right." Zhao Min said, "Return to the court and keep you rich and prosperous all your life.
, otherwise my father will wipe out you at all costs." Cheng Pan smiled and said, "Girl, give you a sentence that Genghis Khan said, if you want to fight, then fight. Don't force me to hurry, otherwise I will turn the entire Jiangnan into a battlefield. Even if I lose, millions of Mongols will die." Zhao Min seemed to be suppressed by Cheng Pan's domineering words, and said, "What do you want?" Cheng Pan said, "In a year, I will be the magistrate of Rugao County. Where will I build ships and go to Liuqiu Island to play. Except for the territory I control on land now, I will not continue to expand, you are satisfied." Zhao Min said, "Be serious." Cheng Pan said, "Tell me my words to your father and the senior management of the province. I don't want any misunderstandings."
After a while, Cheng Pan walked out of the inn leisurely. Zhao Min watched Cheng Pan leave. At this time, an officer next to him made a crack gesture and said, "Prince, should you send someone to defeat him?" Zhao Min gave him a blank look and said, "If you want to die, you can go. A year ago, a team of thousands of cavalry could not stop him, but a hundred people died. Now his magical powers are one step closer, and only you, a few hundred people, want to kill him." The officer lowered his head and said, "Mr. Cheng, I hope you keep your trust."
