Chapter 455: Holding hands

When the war between Xiling and Chunnan was in a stalemate, everyone felt that Dongping's dynamics were extremely suspicious. If Dongping would send troops to Xiling for the interests of his allies, Dongping and Chunnan would not believe this. The so-called ally relationship only connects the complementary places needed by the two countries. Although it temporarily covers up the contradictions in the foundations of the two countries, it can only be temporary. Chunnan has obtained a lot of things from Dongping, such as various heavy military equipment, a complete set of methods for training the army, a complete set of troops and tactics. They have harvested a large amount of technology from Dongping, but have lost a large part of the domestic working capital. This part of the funds has greatly enriched the market liquidity of Dongping, and Chunnan's orders are in Dongping because of production.

The increased production capacity will not be abandoned by the improvement of management level. The horses and other transactions conducted by Dongping have caused a large amount of profit to flow into Dongping. Since Tan Weixin has always carefully regulated the economic trend of the entire Dongping, Dongping is now more and more financially sufficient. Although Chunnan is still richest in the world, this kind of wealth is somewhat abnormal compared to Dongping. Everyone understands that once the two countries solve their own internal and external troubles, it is when the two countries go to war. The two new armies formed by Chunnan are all placed on the border between Chunnan and Dongping. The combined number of the two new armies is close to 100,000 people, and the rigorous training they have received makes their combat power very strong, enough to pose a threat to Dongping on the other side of the border.

In recent years, this situation has become more and more obvious. Concubine Lian Chang Ling has begun to use her subtle identity in Dongping to destroy Dongping's platform. Especially this time, she instigated the Crown Princess to create this series of things, which is already challenging the endurance of the Dongping royal family. Although Tan Xiaopei suppressed the matter and did not break out, her communication with Chunnan was more cautious. Although she sold the airship to Chunnan, she was stuck even more deadly on some other items than before. When Chunnan was in an emergency this time, Chunnan was in a hurry to be in the face of her.

Tan Xiaopei refused to ask for super-large crossbows and was willing to pay a very high price. Although these operations would make Zhuo Xianchen in Yuhang difficult to deal with and would make him work under greater pressure, this was what an envoy should do. Dongping and Chunnan were increasingly eager to move each other to get what they wanted, because, everyone knows, this kind of ally relationship cannot be maintained forever, and it will not even last for too long.

However, after all, it is an ally now. When Chunnan is in trouble, Dongping still needs to make some moves to maintain superficial harmony. In this way, on the one hand, Xiling and Beiliao will not have an opportunity to take advantage of it, and in addition, it is also for the sake of preparations in the future. Even if there are many cracks in the relationship between the ally, at least when it really breaks down in the future, Dongping still hopes that it is not because of some problems on his side.

Tan Xiaopei summoned Zheng Zhe and conveyed all the information collected by the Dongping Intelligence Bureau to him and asked him to hand it over to Chunnan. In Yuhang, Zhuo Xianchen was ordered to submit a sincere letter to the Lord of Chunnan, expressing Dongping's concerns about the situation in the Dananguan situation, and informing Chunnan that he would take a series of actions "to the best of his ability" to help Chunnan. It is natural that there must be actions, and Dongping has always been saying that. Among the Blood Qi Army, the Imperial Army, and some garrison troops and baggage units under the rule of the Canal Governor's Office began to move towards Xunshanguan. The first Danyang First Air Force, which had been equipped with the Xuexiao airship, directly dispatched defense to Xunshanguan, and began to conduct intense reconnaissance and surveillance on a series of targets in Xiling.

Zhenzhou and Lu Dan mobilized half of his troops, as many as thirty battalions, including the main battle battalion and the garrison battalion, Chenbing's southern line, as if he was ready to go south at any time, while Yunzhou was even more cruel. They attacked and advanced from the Fengshi Pass and Zijing Pass, and took the triangular area that was originally blocked between the Zhenbei Military Office and Yunzhou. In order to achieve such a combat goal, Yunzhou actually used a total of fifty battalions and 150,000 people. Although most of them were newly trained troops, the intention of training was obvious, but Xiling was suffering from insufficient combat power and could not draw troops to resist, and gave up this land when fighting and retreating. Then retreating would be more conducive to defense and confront the Yunzhou army. However, Yunzhou was not very good at it, and it was already

With the purpose of training, they not only practiced attack, defense, marching and other actions, but also practiced earthworks. They built a series of fortresses and two large-scale barracks on the edge of the occupied areas. Then, less than four battalions were left in these places, all of which were garrison troops and baggage units, and the rest of the troops retreated to Yunzhou. This short attack was obviously to take advantage of the situation, but because of their strong style, Xiling was also frightened for a while. After all, Xiling was not able to bear the battle on both sides. At this time, Xiling passed through some huge business groups and families that could still go through the channels, and through the Jiuzhou Chamber of Commerce, Qihai Trading Company and other institutions, they obscurely conveyed the search and tribute to Dongping.

Ping's attitude. Everyone understands that this kind of peace is shorter than the alliance between Dongping and Chunnan, but the secret agreement was reached in less than half a month. This kind of simple agreement that seems to be non-aggression treaty has extremely low binding force on both sides, but it is what everyone needs now. Dongping clearly wants to sit in the mountains and watch the tiger fight. In the Danan Pass, whoever loses and who wins will have little impact on Dongping. Tan Xiaopei and others hope that the two countries will fight for ten or eight years and don’t stop. In Xiling’s view, everything will be fine if Dongping does not intervene. In less than a month, Danan Pass has changed hands six times in succession. It is obviously turned into a meat grinder, but no one can stop, and no one wants to stop. The heavy losses that have already suffered can only be compensated with Danan Pass.

At this sensitive time, the Dongping court announced that the Danyang Xindu plan, which had been relatively restrained in progress, was fully launched. Not only that, after being stimulated by Gondor, the government and the people believed that as the core of the entire empire in the future, the Xindu Danyang should at least be larger than Gondor in terms of scale and capacity. Gondor is a beautiful and distinctive city, but the design capacity of Gondor is about 500,000 permanent residents and 200,000 mobile personnel. But the current population of Danyang is approaching one million. When the country develops again in the future, when Danyang becomes the political core of the entire continent, it is very likely that the population exceeds 1.5 million, or even 2 million. Danyang must have such capacity. In this case, the design team led by Ye Tao and Guan Haishan has taken further expansion on the basis of the original

The plan will not only include large-scale renovation and renovation of the city, so that the entire city's municipal engineering can fully meet and exceed Gondor's standards, but also include the transformation of the surrounding water system, ensuring that the new capital can meet the living needs of two million people in water supply and power supply, rather than being in a state of overload supply for a long time. Since Danyang does not have the abundant grassland space around Gondor, it is really impossible to install enough power generation windmill arrays, Ye Tao and Guan Haishan had to focus on hydropower generation. There are technology for power generation, and it is very simple, but everyone is a little unsure about power transmission and distribution technology. Fortunately, the construction will take some years, and the need for power supply will also be in a very long and gradual process. In this case, Ye Tao and Guan Haishan had to use their imagination and complete the structural design first.

After such a plan is completed, the area of ​​Danyang will be four to five times larger than now, and the green area in the city will increase by more than ten times, and the conditions in all aspects will change drastically. Outside the city, like Gondor, a series of landscapes combining natural and artificial will be formed. Around Danyang, the windy city and the iron city, the mountain fort will become three powerful fulcrums. For the sake of the city's environment, the status of the original Jingdezhen porcelain production center will also be greatly improved, and a series of workshops that have an impact on people's livelihood and the environment will be moved there. Even the Ye Family Workshop will be moved a large part. In Jingdezhen, all these polluted workshops will implement new "environmental" production standards. In order to prevent this measure from affecting the livelihood of those merchants, all merchants and workshops that implement environmental standards will receive tax preferential treatment...

Of course, some people are a little depressed, such as the "Dalangtaosha" bathhouse, which has become a must-visit place for many people with status and status in Danyang to relax. According to the city's expansion plan, the new city wall will be directly passed at the current location of "Dalangtaosha". The relocation of the bathhouse is inevitable. Ye Tao, one of the shareholders of the bathhouse, has no objection, and even Du Fengchi, the owner of the bathhouse, has no objection, but when Du Fengchi ordered the bathhouse manager to be closed and moved in advance, the men who were used to being casual in the bathhouse actually joined forces to quietly pass a resolution... That section of the city wall will be finally built. Dalangtaosha is not allowed to close before the new store is completed and must be opened for them. Du Fengchi is speechless about this secret operation, but this kind of good thing is naturally difficult to refuse. This is also one of the rare back doors in the plan of Danyang, the entire Xindu.

The plan of Xindu Danyang was announced at this time, and the version that further expanded the scale was launched, and then it started in full swing. As the news spread, Xiling was really relieved. Dongping really didn't have the intention to take action at this time. Conservatively, the plan of Xindu Danyang would have to use tens of millions of taels of silver and hundreds of thousands of manpower, and it took several years. During this period, Dongping probably wouldn't have major military operations.
