Seven years after the Fengchi meeting.

This year was in the extreme west, and it was the Olympic year when a referee took the stage and won the racing championship.

In the Central Plains, thousands of miles away, something similar to a referee on the court... The Mohist ruling who held the power of public opinion and whether to judge or not, accused Yue of various unjust behaviors, and gathered troops, which was very meaningful to punish the unjust. The King of Yue sent envoys to beg them not to punish them, but it seemed useless. A large number of troops began to gather in the Huai River.

Some people in the world say: The unrighteousness of Yue State is not in its unrighteousness, but in Qin's attack on Xihe, Zhao fought against Zhongshan, King Chu died and the prince was in chaos, and the war broke out again, and all countries had no time to do it, so Yue was unrighteous. If there had been any unrighteous matters long ago, why would it be said today?

This year, comets crossed the sky.

Twenty years ago, people all over the world thought it was a sign of a sign, but today Si Shang was preparing for war while taking advantage of this rare opportunity to observe with a telescope. The giant said that it was just an ice hockey, and its tail was blown out by the sun. Those of all kinds of people who observed with a telescope believed it without a doubt.

However, most people in the world still think that this is a sign of a harbinger, a sign of a harbinger that the world is about to be in chaos.

Jiangnan, Seven Min County, and Minzhong County.

The Seven Min is famous since ancient times. The so-called Xia officials' responsibility is to distinguish the people of the country, capital, brutal, four barbarians, eight barbarians, seven Fujian, nine huhe, five Rong, and six Di.

The seven Fujianes were not Yue. In history, the Yue Kingdom began to migrate south on a large scale after the fall of the country. At this time, the Yue Kingdom had no chance to migrate south.

Minzhong County has been a major port in recent years, and even ships traveling thousands of miles away to trade are anchored here. In addition, some people set sail from here a few years ago to find a new route to the Sunrise Island. Every year, many people are gathered here who are eager to make a fortune.

Nowadays, the morality of the Mohist school has become more and more popular among those who are eager to make money: as long as it is not forcing or robbing others' rights, then selfishness is altruism. Selling more goods is equivalent to making the owner of the workshop sell more, which not only makes money but also is moral, so naturally like it.

There is a stone statue standing on the port in central Fujian. The stone statue has a very obvious feature, one eye with an eye mask.

The person represented by the stone statue was not dead. After setting sail from here and finding a new route to Sunrise Island, he made great contributions. He took the initiative to make a request - to lay a stone statue for him, which would be passed down through the ages.

Those who seek wealth here also respect this stone statue, not only giving them a chance to make money, but also because this person is very life... so big that he participated in the exploration to India, started a search for a route to the copper-producing Treasure Island and succeeded, but he was not dead at sea. Such a person with a great life deserves respect and may also bring some good luck to himself.

The stone statue stood on the pier, and people were busy on the pier.

This is not only the only way to Panyu to Yuedi, but also the place where the Eastern Airlines sails to the Gold, Silver and Copper Island can be set off. Most of the goods traveling from south to north pass here.

There are no pirates at this time because the development level of the surrounding areas is too low, and the Mohist school almost monopolized all foreign trade. It is difficult to gain a foothold when it is a pirate without the support of the hostile country.

In addition, selling stolen goods is also a problem. Apart from hiding in Jiuzhou, the other place is still in the primitive era of poor mountains and bad waters, and there is nowhere to hide.

There are several settlements on the big island opposite central Fujian, but they are not unlawful places. And even those settlements are half-seeking and half-use tax-free autonomy to force some people to go. Otherwise, who will run outside these days?

The most profitable thing in today's trade is actually the population. Large plantations organized by using the advanced farming technology of the Central Plains require labor. This behavior is strictly prohibited in Jiuzhou, and the laws are strict, so some merchants take the risk from further south.

Although they are notarized, they are contracted workers and have no slave status, and they may not be able to live for ten years. After they survive, they will be assigned a piece of land and hired the owners of their ten-year manors to give them some farm tools. In the two Qing Dynasties, the workers also obtained the citizenship rights of Zhuxia, but in general, they will soon become extremely poor, and then go to workshops to work or enter large plantations to hire workers again.

In fact, this kind of trade was also discussed at the National Law Conference.

Those who oppose the objection believe that this matter is harmful to the people. Even if it is not captured by oneself, it is also inciting local countries to fight each other and capture it, which is contrary to the morality of the world.

Those who support the opinions believe that this matter is beneficial to the people, and first of all, it can increase the total wealth of the world, so that people can buy cheaper sugar, food and various urgently needed minerals.

Secondly, these supporters believe that since the paradise is divided into nine levels, those who are still using stone tools in slash and fire should go to the next paradise as quickly as possible, and long-term trade is the most effective method.

After all, if you want to educate and need more manpower and money, then you have to increase taxes. Otherwise, who would be willing to go to that kind of local education? Besides, there are insufficient cadres in the Jiuzhou of Xia, and after weighing the pros and cons, there are priorities.

Finally, this is the quickest and most effective way to get them into civilization without tax increases, and it can also allow people to get cheaper goods, killing multiple deaths at one stroke.

In the end, at the General Assembly of the People's Law, the law was finally passed by 230 votes in favor, 150 votes against, and 120 abstentions, but many provisions were made on this kind of trade.

Of course, the regulations are ridiculous. There is only a difference between having and not having such things. However, in order to prevent going to Si Shang to compete with local employees for profit, this kind of trade is strictly prohibited from crossing the Yangtze River.

Relying on various strange trade methods and the advantageous position of Minzhong County, Minzhong has developed rapidly in recent years, with more ships.

At this time, workers on the dock were loading and unloading a ship of sugar, which was officially acquired by Sishang. In recent years, Sishang has expanded its troops and demand for sugar has surged.

One is to be distributed as a ration as a welfare and comfort for soldiers, and the other is that sucrose is more energy than food, and when necessary, sugar will be used to replenish energy during the battle, so the official purchases a large amount of sugar every year.

At this moment, a heavy bell rang out from afar.

After three loud noises, a group of soldiers quickly entered the dock. The people on the dock looked at the place where the bells rang in the distance, put down their work, and gathered towards the square near the dock.

It was like I had practiced many times, and I was not panicked.

Two quarters of an hour later, a buzzing sound broke out in the crowd.

The war started, and the war with the Vietnamese Kingdom was started.

At this time, the messenger on the stage was coming to an end. One thing closely related to the people present was "recruiting all registered ships, all registered sailors, and all those who have been retired within three years are reported immediately in the local armed forces department within one month."

Someone shouted: "Ours are all merchant ships, and there is no oar, so there is no way to fight."

The people on the stage shouted: "Bail logistics. What else is there? If there is no problem, all the ship owners and the captains of the chamber of commerce will go to the county office for a meeting."

It was expected to start a war with the princes, and everyone was not surprised.

After the Fengchi Meeting seven years ago, everyone knew that it was impossible to stop the war in the world. The war must be fought, but they just don’t know when it will be fought.

Once war begins, soldiers who have been retired within three years will definitely be recruited. Whether in the Nanhai or Sishang, each family has experience in serving. This is compulsory and is not unfamiliar with these things.

But before, there were land wars, and there had never been any ship recruitment.

Merchant ships aimed at the maximum profit, carried a lot of cargo and were almost unarmed, only the sailors on the ship carried muskets.

Of course, this is enough for surrounding trade, and in fact it is enough for some illegal vendors who capture "long-term workers".

There were only a few princes in the Xia Dynasty, including Yue, Mo, Chu, and Qi.

The Qi Navy has been destroyed and has not been rebuilt within several years, and its vitality has not yet been restored. The Yue Navy has the ability to fight naval battles, while the Chu Navy is good at fighting in the river.

Whether it is Chu or Yue, the combat environment destined that the navy of Zhuxia was mainly composed of sailing warships, and jumping gang battles were still the mainstream.

Pure sailboats used to transport goods are not suitable for combat and are easily captured and slaughtered, because no oars mean that steering is not effective, and water warfare is equivalent to death if steering is not effective.

This time, all the ships were recruited for transportation of supplies. Everyone thought, what a large-scale war this would be?

But is it worth calling so much power in Yue Kingdom?

More than ten days later, a fleet of ships appeared on the seas between Fujian and China.

The ship in front was extremely large, about thirteen or fourteen meters long and about two meters wide. In addition to the sails that merchant ships must have, some long oars also stretched out on both sides.

This is the main battleship of the Si Shangzhou Division, which was improved by the Wu Yue warship, added sails and retained paddlers.

There were 150 paddlers on the ship. These paddlers were professionally trained and could not be used at any time.

The ship is also equipped with fourteen bronze cannons, with a collision angle on the bow. In front of it, the hook and refusal designed by the public sending squad to be used for catching the shore.

This is an improved version of the tower ship and is also the main force in standard offshore and inland wars.

On the ship, Shu Guitian Zhi proudly took off his maritime uniform without a seal or military rank, put on a set of woolen clothes he had just issued, and brought a colonel's naval uniform with a seal.

He was not the captain, he was just riding on this ship. To be honest, he didn't like the name of this ship very much because... it was a bit unlucky.

The name of this tower ship is "Yuhuang". At first glance, it sounds domineering, but in fact, the name of this ship is not very auspicious because of the allusion.

Emperor Yu was the flagship name of Wu during the Battle of Wu and Chu. When he was in trouble, he was first captured by Wu and was captured by Wu at night. He was taken back by Wu and soon afterwards. He sank in the Battle of Wu and Yue.
