Chapter 385 Blitz

The first day of April, Chen hour. The Shandong Navy of the Great Xia Empire had fifteen Yuanqi warships and 500 old warships, carrying 24,000 soldiers from the rear army of the Liaodong Theater, totaling 48,000 people, and marched directly towards the enemy.

At the same time, at the southern corner of Kuwu (Sakhalin Island), the Shandong Navy rear army and the Liaodong theater front army also moved across the sea to directly attack Ezo Island (Hokkaido).

Murakata is a sea dweller on Tsushima Island who makes a living by fishing. As an ignorant common man - or slave - in the Japanese country of this era, the common man was probably a slave. It was impossible for Murashita to know the situation in the world, and he also did not feel any changes in Tsushima after the Great Xia Sea Ban. Because sea trade has nothing to do with ordinary people like him.

His boat could only fish near the land and could not really leave the confines of Tsushima Island.

The weather was just right. Muraka came out from the fishing village, thinking about how many fish he could catch today, and how much money he could sell after getting pairs of horses to sell.

Oh, Tsushima is the only city on Tsushima Island, not far from the seaside.

Tsushima Island is composed of several large and small islands, and Tsushima is the center of these islands. Located between two islands, facing the sea.

Murakami arrived at the beach, untied the rope, and was about to get on his boat, but suddenly, there was a faint roar in his ears!

He was startled slightly and looked up at the sky. There are no clouds, and the sky is blue.

"It's not thunder?"

His mind turned around and he couldn't help but look in the direction of the thunder, which was exactly where Tsushima was.

Before he could react, there was another roar.

"???"

Murakata looked confused: "Are the nobles playing something else?"

Then several pillars of smoke were seen rising into the sky in the direction of Tsushima, and amid another roar, more and more pillars of smoke were rising into the sky. Murakami finally felt that something was wrong.

He quickly tied the ropes of the boat again, and then looked at the sea cliff next to him to climb up. Amidst the thunder, he climbed to the top of the cliff, looked up, and suddenly saw many white lines intertwined on the horizon. One end of the white line is connected to the sea on the other side of Tsushima, and the other end is connected to Tsushima.

"what?"

He was at a loss.

At this time, there was thunder again. More dense, but the individual sounds may be smaller. He didn't know if he heard it right.

Then I vaguely saw rows of white lines bursting out on the sea beyond Tsushima, as if someone was painting, but they were white, not black.

And these white lines are different from the previous ones, they are straight!

Then there was another roar, and vaguely howls and cries could be heard.

"fight?!"

A flash of lightning flashed in his mind, and he suddenly came back to his senses. I saw a straight white line running this way!

So fast!

Before he could react, he was shocked and fell down. If he hadn't hugged a solid stone out of reflex, he would have fallen off the cliff and been shattered to pieces!

He turned his head mechanically and saw a huge hole still smoking on the cliff not far away!

He yelled and ran down the cliff stumblingly.

When the fleet arrived at Tsuima, they first bombarded Tsuima with ten rounds of heavy artillery and targeted attacks, beating Tsuima's port to a pulp. Then after a short pause, the battleship continued to approach, and then fired flatly with light elemental cannons.

And took advantage of the situation to quickly dock.

"Quick, quick, log in! Log in!"

"Conquer Tsushima within half an hour!"

"Those who resist will be killed without mercy!"

"Kill, kill, kill!"

So the war started.

As for the mainland of Daxia Empire, there was no disturbance at all.

The emperor ordered the four parties to launch an attack on the grounds that the Japanese country was teasing the emperor and damaging the majesty of the empire to avenge the nine generations.

When the people heard about the war, they reacted accordingly. Some ancient literati expressed their voices. Some believed that the Great Xia Dynasty should retaliate with kindness, some believed that cross-sea warfare was not cost-effective, and some cited scriptures to support it. For the common people, as long as the war does not affect their survival, it is more of an expectation.

Because war can make people reach the sky in one step.

Especially those in the Shandong Navy and Liaodong Theater who participated in the war were worried and looking forward to it.

After the battle, how much level should my son upgrade to? How much reward should there be?

And this is not a big deal. More, we are still paying attention to construction in various places. On the third day after the empire declared war on Japan and Japan, good news spread throughout Daxia—the six main roads, three horizontal and three vertical, running through the empire from east to west, north to south, were completed!

Except for the bridges across the Yellow River and the Yangtze River that have not yet been completed, the rest of the way is smooth.

Merchants rejoiced that with these six main roads, goods from the Far East could be transported to the Far West within a day. Goods from the far north can be delivered to the far south within a day. Although it is based on the premise of a component transport vehicle, many well-connected businessmen have already received the news that the component transport vehicle is about to be put into civilian use.

In the past, not to mention from the extreme east to the extreme west, from the extreme south to the extreme north, even commercial trade between state capitals took more than a day.

Long-distance trade has ruined many merchants and hindered commercial exchanges.

But now, all this is easily solved!

What will happen when the cross-state secondary road network is successfully constructed? What about rural level? Both businessmen and common people are looking forward to this.

Roads are the blood vessels of the country, and the transportation of all nutrients depends on road transportation. Now that the main road has been completed and the first stage of the road traffic system has been completed, Ying Yi is happy.

From the center to the local areas of the Daxia Empire, officials were happy.

The completion of the road system has a huge promotion effect on local manpower deployment and commercial exchanges. For officials, it means that their political performance is better.

The political achievements have come out, the name is on the humanitarian list, and the promotion is not a shua shua shua? !

As a result, the construction of cross-river bridges and sub-state capital roads gained momentum.

Human and material resources were used to the extreme, and the infrastructure construction also promoted the circulation of commerce. Merchants benefited from transporting materials, and the people benefited from work. Even the slave workers in the slave labor camp can be said to have benefited - three years of inspection and five years of elimination of slave status, and if they do well and carefully, the number will be reduced.

With each additional job they performed, they were one step closer to being freed from slavery. It is one step closer to becoming a Han citizen.

Speaking of which, the slave workers in the slave labor camp are very honest. It's not just because there are strong people in charge - the management of the slave labor camp is on the list, and they are all strong and inhuman. Although they are not the army, it is easy to crush the slave workers.

The key point is that although slave workers are slaves, they do not lack food and drink.

The empire did not treat them badly in this regard. Although the work deadline is tight and I am often exhausted, I can always keep up with eating and drinking.

For these slaves, who are fed with white rice every day, they are even happier than before they became slaves.

Therefore, the slaves hope to get rid of their slave status and become the true people of Daxia. How happy would that be?
