The fiefdom increases by 1 soldier in 1 second, and the empress kneels down and begs not to rebel

Four years ago, Jin Weizun, the then King Qing of Daqian, had come up with the idea of ​​exploring foreign countries in the distant oceans. At that time, Daqian's main trading port was established in the East China Sea, where the East China Sea Shipyard was located. Ships leaving Wangdong Shipyard headed eastward, with the first stop being Iwo Island, followed by small countries such as Goryeo and Fuso.

This trade route has existed for thousands of years, and has existed since ships were first built. However, it is no longer possible to verify which dynasty perfected this route. However, in this vast country, the route extending from the South China Sea has only been explored briefly in every dynasty.

The reason is simple. The South China Sea route is too long and has almost no end. Apart from the Liaodong Islands near the coast that can provide coordinates and supplies, even if the ship sails for two months, it is impossible to observe any islands at sea that can be docked.

Without a stopover, it would be impossible to replenish the ship's supplies. Unless a large fleet with sufficient supplies was formed when setting sail, it would be impossible to sail further.

To form such a large fleet, one naturally needs sufficiently strong national strength to support it. If the dynasty is not strong enough, it will certainly not be able to do this.

You must know that although every dynasty has had a period of unification, it could not last long before wars broke out and led to disintegration. Therefore, the exploration of the South China Sea route has always ended in failure.

Until the emergence of the Daqian Dynasty, three years ago, Jin Weizun focused on the South China Sea.

Nan Ze is an ancient capital. Since unifying the country, the southern region of Daqian has become richer than any other part of the country. Tax silver allocated from the national treasury is continuously transported to Nangang City. The original Nangang Shipyard has gradually expanded and gradually surpassed the Donghai Shipyard. Nangang has also become the most important hub for Daqian to reach the open sea.

The westernmost part is Xijing City, which borders the territory of Tuyuan Kingdom. Without the sea, there is naturally no port. Although the northern area is vast, the land is barren, and it is freezing cold in winter. The Beiku grassland bordering it is much better. Although it is also cold, it has many lakes and abundant water and grass. It borders Tuyuan to the west, and continuing to extend north is a barren land that is not worth spending a lot of effort to use.

For this reason, the most important port in Yan State today is naturally Nangang.

The previous dynasty did make some achievements in the construction of Nangang. In addition to the Nangang Shipyard, the original ordinary Nangang Wharf has now been built into a large port. On the basis of the original foundation, it has been comprehensively expanded.

Blockhouses of varying sizes are arranged in an orderly manner, the city walls are all made of bluestone, large warehouses for storing supplies stand on the ground, the docks and ferries are paved flat and huge, and the breakwaters built on the coastline have consumed a huge amount of manpower and material resources to build this majestic wonder and make Nangang, which is second to none today, a city.

At the same time, it is also a military fortress. However, with the establishment of the Shenjiying, Jin Weizun deeply understood the importance of new weapons. Therefore, he no longer focused on forming a fleet to set sail. He chose to spend the tax money on the research and development and deployment of new weapons.

As a result, the Nangang Wharf, which should have been glorious and spectacular, became a military fortress in name only.

It was for this reason that Qin Ze had led the navy from Fuso to land at Nangang without encountering any obstruction.

This towering building lacks weapons and manpower. Although its appearance is shocking enough, without these internal qualities, how can it deserve the titles of the most important foreign port and military fortress?

Lack of weapons? Lack of manpower? Qin Ze had both, so the transformation began to be implemented naturally.

So how to build the most important foreign port of Yan Kingdom? The first thing to consider must be defensiveness. He had already said this in front of all the people on the day when he cut off Mai Lirui's head.

From now on, we will never allow any enemy country to invade Yan Kingdom’s territory.

Well, this requires the Nanze Port to be strong enough. Fortunately, it is indeed strong enough, with solid bluestone brick walls and a huge group of bunkers. They stand on the compacted ground, forming an iron wall from bottom to top, and there are countless gun muzzles on this iron wall.

What is the best defensive building? Qin Ze thinks it should be a building with powerful firepower.

When the firepower is strong enough, the enemy will naturally not be able to get close, let alone step into the country.

When he sets sail with his fleet from Nangang to the continent where the various nations are located in the future, the homeland must have strong enough coastal defense, otherwise it will be robbed by others, which is not what Qin Ze wants to see.

Then, Nangang should be built into a real firepower fortress.

Cannons were placed on this building which was originally just a facade. From bottom to top and from inside to outside, every bunker and city wall was equipped with cannons. The warehouses on the shore were almost filled with ammunition. These powerful weapons filled the gap left by the previous dynasty and made it worthy of its name.

Just like this moment.

It was almost evening, but the sun was still shining brightly.

Clemento, who was hurriedly called out of the cabin, held a telescope in his hand. What appeared in his sight was the huge building of South Port Pier in the distance. It was so majestic and spectacular that even Clemento, who was used to seeing big scenes, had to admire it.

He immediately thought that it was indeed a wise decision for McLeary to choose South Port as the landing point.

Such a large port can indeed accommodate the fleet to anchor here. Not only that, it can also reduce a lot of time for landing after anchoring.

But a question also sounded in my mind at the same time.

"Where's their ship?"

We were not far from Nangang Wharf, but there were no ships on the sea. It seemed like an empty port, which was really strange.

Wilson beside him frowned and said:

"Are you going to...abandon the port?"

"Really?" Although Clemento no longer cared about the Daqian Navy, he still couldn't help but feel confused when he saw this scene.

Did they really abandon the port? Were they scared?

But if they were afraid, they should at least send a ship to explain the situation and show that their country had no intention of stopping them, but they just withdrew all the warships.

At this time, Wilson said "Oh" and then laughed:

"Marshal, either they are afraid, so they abandon the port."

"Either they know that their warships have no chance of winning a naval battle with us, so they withdrew their warships from the port and wanted to use these fortifications to stop us. The reason is naturally that they don't want to damage their warships and want to slowly deal with us."

He looked at Clemento, waiting for him to speak.

Clemento's brows furrowed even more tightly as he was thinking, but after just two breaths, his brows suddenly relaxed and his expression became relaxed.

"Ah."

"I am more inclined to your second hypothesis. They want to use this fortification to prevent us from landing."

"I have to say that Daqian is indeed quite powerful. It seems that Mai Lirui's evaluation of this country is very accurate. Their construction capabilities are very strong."

At this point, he put down the telescope and chuckled:

"But so what?"

"If this dock was built in our country, we could deploy countless artillery on it and turn it into an unparalleled military port, but it's not for the people..."

"Oh, where do they get so many artillery?"

Clemento adjusted his hat and continued, "It's getting late. Pass the order down, full speed ahead!"

"If they encounter resistance, just cover them with fire! Make them retreat in the face of difficulty!"
