Regarding their arrival, some people within the Third Army still wanted to take issue with their behavior, but

Thinking about the current war situation, it is better not to build useless things. In yesterday's war, the Third Army's

Everything he did has been shown. Although he told the people in the Western Empire that this was an accidental bombing, the Western Empire

There is nothing the people over there can do. The Third Army has already sent fifty people out. These fifty people are responsible for this.

Naturally, the fifty people had no good results. Basically, they were beheaded by the people of the Western Empire. These are not the third episode.

Li Cong will never allow members of the regiment army to be killed for other so-called political interests.

That is absolutely not allowed. These people were all death row prisoners bought from the Northern Empire for five hundred taels of silver each.

, each of them is considered cooperative. Originally, he was already about to die, but now except for the Northern Empire government,

People like me can still leave 200 taels of silver for our families, which is already very good. Don’t worry about your past.

No matter what they did, they are still thinking about their own family members at this time. Such things are also very difficult for them.

Okay, now that they have handed over the people, the people of the Western Empire naturally have to be stubborn. Besides,

, their people did not suffer any losses. The places where the artillery fire was bombarded were the front positions they wanted to attack. These people always

Everyone behaved very calmly. This attack was not only for the people of the Western Empire, but also for the people of the Southern Empire.

Yes, no one thought that such a good situation would arise. They all understood it at this time.

It's nonsense to say anything else. Only the weapons in your hands are the most important.

Although the enemy Northern Empire is no longer on the frontal battlefield, the tens of millions of troops there have also begun to retreat.

They have already received a lot of benefits. If it is still the same as before, this thing will not be like that. They

They all have their own ideas. However, the Western Empire showed no signs of retreat. They actually returned from the rear.

A large number of troops were transported at this time, as many as 30 million. Now there are more than two troops on the front line of the Western Empire.

There are hundreds of millions of people. This is no longer a matter of taking advantage. It seems that we need to ask for reinforcements from the headquarters. But the Cao Family Trading Company

It does have its own difficulties. The first one is that it is a bit far from the headquarters of the Cao Family Trading Company, spanning the entire South China Sea.

The Empire. It will take several months for the airship over there to arrive. It would be a bit unrealistic to continue transporting a large number of soldiers.

It is true, but some bombing-type things are not very effective for the Western Empire, so this plan is to make the Western Empire painful.

In the end, the plan fell on the Navy. Because neither side declared war, they could not directly attack the Western Empire.

They attack some targets inside, and they are not fools. This will leave people with an excuse, and will also allow the Northern Empire to follow

If the Eastern Empire feels the huge threat from the Cao Family Trading Company, they may all unite. The Cao Family Trading Company was defeated last time.

It's the Southern Empire. If they defeat the Western Empire again this time, things will definitely not go as they thought. At the last moment

The one who will suffer a loss will definitely be the Cao Family Trading Company. Such a thing must never happen. Not only a few great emperors

The people in the country understand it, and even the people in the Cao Family Trading Company understand it very well, so the targets they choose are some of the people in the Western Empire.

Merchant ships, shipping has only begun to appear in the Western Empire in the past two years, but the maritime sector is not very developed.

In the past, the ships of the Western Empire were not allowed to sail on inland rivers because their court did not allow them to go to sea. This is why they

They all feel that they have everything in their own territory and there is no need to follow

What kind of deals are done by people outside will make some criminals run away. In that case, if they establish a country overseas, they will

Attracting some people in their own country to come to them. If such things cannot be effectively managed,

This may have been shaken, but this matter seemed to have changed when the people from the Cao Family Trading Company came. Among them

Many people in China have seen the advantages of sea transportation, especially if it takes more than ten years to go to the Eastern Empire on land.

In terms of time, this is impossible for an ordinary person, but it only takes half the time at sea.

Well, of course, this time is also a lot of time. Even if it is a huge profit to transport some goods there, this time

They can't afford to waste time, but there is no problem for them to start their own shipping in surrounding areas.

It is also very good for them. They all understand this very well, so they all started to develop their own

The surrounding sea transportation is very good. At least transportation within a few hundred miles around has begun to use sea routes.

, but because their navigation ability is not very good due to the small size of the ship, so each of them is also very good.

It's depressing. They can't do this kind of thing, but in recent years, because of the decommissioned ships of the Cao Family Trading Company,

After that, their freight volume also began to increase, and in the end they did very well. These people are now

Everyone here considers themselves to be merchants on the sea. If this is the case, we will not be polite to you.

In fact, despite their small scale, their role in a short period of time is very good, which is very important to the Western Empire.

First of all, it is reflected in taxes. In the past, they did not have this amount of income, because the emperor of the Western Empire

The government felt that it was easy for these people to get their money, so they levied a heavy tax of 25% on them.

Everyone feels very depressed, because they are not long-distance runners, they are basically short-distance ones, and the profits are extremely low.

For those who are not that big, it is only 50% at most, but the better thing about this job is that it is stable, and they

They were all running near the sea, and they wouldn't encounter any danger at all, so they started to do it one by one.

The Western Empire is also happy to do this. It saves water transportation space on land and can also increase its tax revenue.

A lot more. This kind of thing is very satisfying for anyone. Many people in the Western Empire are very satisfied.

Regarding this matter, every county along the coast of the Western Empire now has at least hundreds of ships. They provide the Western Empire with

It can bring hundreds of thousands of silver in tax revenue. There are so many counties and cities in one county. You must know that there are thousands of coastal counties and cities in the Western Empire.

, there will be billions more money every year, and they feel it too. This will make some unemployed vagrants on the shore even more.

It is also very good to solve some local security situations. At the beginning, the Western Empire government

The government did not support it very much, but it would never hinder you. But later, after the Western Empire government saw the profits, they

They changed their views, and they quickly completed these things. They hoped that these things could make Xi

The imperial government increased its revenue, and over time, each of these maritime merchants became more powerful.

It is because they are so powerful that what happened in the past few days can be noticed by the government of the Western Empire. First of all, there are those

More than a dozen ships reported in the county where they were located that they had been robbed by some people at sea. At the time, there were not many

People realized that this matter was organized, although they had heard before that the navy of the Cao Family Trading Company might

Do this thing, but more people choose not to believe it, because they can all feel that this thing should

It shouldn't have been done by people from Cao's Trading Company, so they decided it was an ordinary act of piracy, but when they felt that something was going on

When the situation is not right, the scope has been expanded without limit. First of all, the number of robberies is getting larger and larger.

At that time, there were only a dozen ships, but a few hours later, almost all the ships passing through the open sea were robbed and robbed.

Their ships have no cover at all. They are all the navy of the Cao Family Trading Company. Their artillery is useless at sea.

It's no match for others. Besides, the speed on your side is no match for others. You're not doing well here, but others are here.

When you catch up with them, you have only two choices when facing their guns, or you can quickly stop the boat and let their people board.

Come on, this means that the robbery was successful, or you accelerated your ship to the fastest speed, and in the end, the others

If you fire a volley of artillery discussions, you and I can go to the sea to feed the fish. These things are absolutely possible.

, I don’t have much choice for myself, so I can only do these things honestly. Other than that, I really don’t know.

How should I choose? There is nothing valuable on their ship. For the navy of Cao Family Trading Company,

In fact, they were a little reluctant to rob them. In fact, the things on the ship were of no use. They were of no use at all.

It's useful. If you have silver, gold, etc., you can go up there once, but they don't have that at all.

These things are all very rubbish, but the important thing is to give them the illusion that they are not here to rob.

No one in the Western Empire thought that people from the Cao Family Trading Company would do such a thing. Didn't they say so before?

, the people from the Cao Family Trading Company should be able to do some more powerful things. Even if they hit land, they would definitely compete.

This kind of thing is much better. I really don’t know what they are thinking about. They all think

I felt that this thing was incredible, so at this time, the navy of the Western Empire went out. The navy of the Western Empire was already organized.

It has been built for about three or two years, and they spent a huge amount of money to form the current three naval vessels. The basics of one of them are

The land is not far away from here, and their eighteen 500-ton ships immediately arrived. Heading to all

We went to the area to see what was going on. Some of their people also learned some things done by the navy of Cao Family Trading Company, so they

Our wooden boats also use some long-range attack weapons, and the boats also have their own ship numbers.

Yes, although they do not think that their capabilities are much stronger than the navy of Cao Family Trading Company, they are all very capable.

Chang clearly understood that what they were going out to do this time was not to confront the navy of the Cao Family Trading Company, but to go out with the same purpose as the Eastern Emperor last time.

The people in the country are the same, they just want the navy of the Cao Family Trading Company to know their existence, that's it. As long as they know about them
To be continued...
