The first thousand one hundred and thirty-five chapters pacify the harvest
On the chart, Chongming Island, Mantan Island, Sizhou Island and Ahong Island go down from north to south, which is tens of thousands of miles.☆→ The location where Jiang Xingchen refers is located between Sizhou Island and Mantan Island, and further to the deep ocean.
"No! Absolutely not!" The third elder was anxious at the time. He had thought that Jiang Xingchen would speak loudly, but he didn't expect that he had such a big appetite.
This island is called Mingque Island. It is the third largest island under Mantan Island. It covers an area of 100,000 square kilometers and is home to more than 300,000 people. The island has a unique terrain, surrounded by cliffs on three sides, and is surrounded by continuous mountains, blocking most of the sea breezes. Facing Mantan Island, this side is a natural deep-water port. Among all overseas forces, Mingque City on Mingque Island is the largest port, with dozens of piers, and 300 seven-story treasure ships can be parked easily. At the same time, it is also a major commercial and trade destination, Sizhou Island, and Ahong Island lead to Chongming Island in the north.
It can be said that Mingque Island is the most important port on Mandan Island. Jiang Xingchen opened his mouth to ask for this island, which was like cutting flesh from them.
"I didn't say I'd let you cede!" Jiang Xingchen turned around and looked at the third elder and said lightly: "In fifty years, I want fifty years of development rights to this place! It means setting the entire island into a concession!"
Jiang Xingchen values this place, one is the natural deep water port, the other is because it is an important link in the sea transportation of the four major islands, and the third is that it can be used as a bridgehead for the eastern deep ocean. Another point is that he has won five islands overseas, and Mingque Island is just in the middle and can be connected to these islands.
Jiang Xingchen had asked Wang Zhicheng before and knew the importance of this island. If Mandan Island was forced to cede, it would definitely force the other party to fight to the death. But now his strength is not enough, and the shells and the seven-layer treasure ship are not enough. Once he fights hard, he may be dragged here and delay the development plan of Xingchen Leader.
So after thinking about it, he still made the decision of the concession. The island is still yours, but within 50 years, the administrative power and judicial power belong to me, and the financial side can be given up a little.
"The concession is not good either!" The third elder still objected. Give you fifty years, but who knows what will happen in the fifty years? This is a natural Shenzhen-Hong Kong, and it can be parked in a large number of seven-story treasure ships, and it directly faces Mantan Island. If you develop here, the high-level buildings of Mantan Island cannot sleep or eat.
"So we can't reach an agreement!" Jiang Xingchen's face also sank.
The third elder's heart skipped a beat, and then he remembered the other party's powerful force.
Before Jiang Xingchen could give the order, Wang Heng, who had been waiting outside the door, moved and ordered five volleys.
At this time, the Wang family fleet was outside a port on Mantan Island. Five volleys of nearly 400 shells were thrown over, and the entire port turned into ruins in a few minutes.
The third elder ran out to watch the sound of cannons, and was shocked by the huge power of the cannons. Hearing it was as if he had seen it with his own eyes, every cannon sound on the boat was like a sledgehammer hitting his heart.
When the five rounds of fire came over, the third elder looked ashen, and he blocked his chest in one breath, pointing at Jiang Xingchen for a long time and couldn't speak.
Jiang Xingchen chuckled: "Don't rush to draw a conclusion first, you might as well go back and discuss it before talking about it!"
The third elder wanted to say something very tough. We would rather die than surrender. If I go back, we will never die... But he did not dare to say such words. He saw the power of the five-round volley just now. If he had to fight hard, the losses would be immeasurable. He could only suppress his anger and go back temporarily. Send a message to the headquarters...
A day later, in the main city of Mandan Island, the senior executives of the Nangong family were excited after receiving the news. Jiang Xingchen dared to ask for it on Mingque Island, which was too bullying. Many people wanted to mobilize people to fight with Jiang Xingchen at that time.
But at this time, news came from all over the country that the port city was in chaos, and a large number of people fled their homes and poured into the mainland. The towns and towns in various places were in chaos, and the people of Mantan were in a state of turmoil.
The senior executives of the Nangong family were shocked. If Jiang Xingchen had to bombard him a few more times, he would probably not have to fight with the other party, and there would be chaos inside.
The head of the Nangong family finally gritted his teeth: "Talk, continue talking to him! Mingque Island is set as a concession... Yes! But it will definitely not work for fifty years! In addition, the relevant authority must be discussed in detail!"
All the elders below did not make any objection, and now there is no other choice but to make concessions. If you fight hard, don’t talk about winning or losing. Once civil strife occurs, it will be a fundamental shake...
The third elders came to Jiang Xingchen's head ship again. The two sides talked for two days and finally determined that Jiang Xingchen had obtained the development rights of Mingque Island for 30 years. The administrative and judicial powers were independent, and taxation and finance had to be jointly managed by both parties. Mantan Island would obtain 20% of the profits. During the development of Mingque Island, Xingchen was not allowed to actively attack Mantan Island...
Jiang Xingchen knew that this was the last bottom line of Mandan Island. If he was oppressed, it would have the opposite effect. Speaking of which, it had not reached his psychological bottom line.
No matter what, Mingque Island has been obtained. His overseas layout can also be slowly unfolded. As for thirty years later, who knows what will happen then!
After signing the letters, Jiang Xingchen mentioned the two islands that he won. One of the bright silver mines has been occupied, but there is another one that needs to be returned.
When the third elder almost got angry when he learned that Prince Nangong still owed an island, he almost lost his anger. But even Mingque Island was given, he could not turn against him because of another small island.
All terms were signed, and the third elder hurried back. Jiang Xingchen sat in the room and smiled.
This overseas trip was a huge reward. He defeated the ancestor Chongming in a big victory and captured Mo Yun. Tang Chuxue's cultivation level was one step closer, and his material exploration array was also improved a lot, and it developed to the calf. But the specific effect still needs to be tested after going back.
The attack on Chongming Island and Mantan Island fully demonstrated its force and shocked the entire overseas.
A Yuanshi ore vein was obtained, with a reserve of more than four million, and Chongming Island was compensated for five million. Its value was dozens of times higher than this war.
The establishment of a concession on Chongming Island laid the foundation for future commodity dumping. The right to mine minerals also has a huge effect. The value of this Mingque Island is now even more immeasurable, both commercially and militaryally.
In addition, a high-level genius treasure purple jade gourd was obtained, and a seemingly dangerous treasure map.
After plundering so many interests overseas, even with Jiang Xingchen's current wealth, she could not hide her excitement. Tang Chuxue was the same, but she didn't care about many interests. She was happy if Jiang Xingchen was happy.
But after a while, Tang Chuxue's smile gradually calmed down and she asked, "Xingchen, should we go back?"
"It's almost done! But I have to wait. I have to meet Mo Di from Sizhou Island and ask him to help cast a net to search the princes of the An family and Nangong family!" Jiang Xingchen replied.
"Oh!" Tang Chuxue responded, then stood up and said, "It's time for me to practice, you can rest for a while!" As he said that, he walked out before Jiang Xingchen could reply.
When she arrived outside the cabin, Tang Chuxue walked to the bow of the boat, looking at the vast ocean but not feeling open-minded! From her heart, she really didn't want to go back. Although she went out this time, she experienced life and death, it was her happiest day, especially the few days when Jiang Xingchen took care of herself.
But after she went back, she had to face a difficult problem, Mei'er! Tang Chuxue knew that Jiang Xingchen would never let go of Mei'er. Their relationship was too deep, so deep that they had integrated into each other.
She never thought of breaking up Jiang Xingchen and Mei'er. It is normal for a few or even dozens of men in this world to have. But as a woman, she knew in her heart that Mei'er would definitely have a knot in her heart when she knew it, and the same would be true for her to put this matter on her. Then how should she face it when she went back and how would Jiang Xingchen solve it.
"Will he... feel very embarrassed?" Tang Chuxue murmured. As the goddess of the Empire, she is very decisive in everything. But in terms of feelings, she is actually a little confused about gains and losses!
"Chuxue! What's wrong with you? Are you worried?" Jiang Xingchen also left the cabin and came to her side.
Tang Chuxue smiled faintly and said, "I'm fine, I'm just thinking about the letter from Emperor Qin! Someone sells bomb production techniques in mainland China. Are you not worried at all?"
"It's useless to worry! In fact, after the grenade technology is leaked, bombs will be researched sooner or later!" Jiang Xingchen was very calm. He developed the cannon and the weapon of the crossbow cannon can be eliminated.
"Oh!" Tang Chuxue nodded and stopped talking.
Jiang Xingchen felt that Tang Chuxue was a little strange and asked again: "Chuxue, are you really okay? Is it an internal injury..."
"No!" Tang Chuxue waved his hand and smiled, "I'm almost done, I just want to calm down and stroke Tai Chi!"
"If this is the case, then I'll be relieved!" Jiang Xingchen breathed a sigh of relief. He was really afraid that Tang Chuxue's internal injuries would not heal, and he turned around and fell into a disease like Xianning.
At this time, a fleet came from afar. Wang Heng came soon to report that the messenger from Sizhou Island arrived.
Jiang Xingchen immediately followed Wang Heng away, while Tang Chuxue frowned: "Does he feel that it's not difficult, or does he not understand my friendship with him at all..."
The fleet turned around and continued to sail south from Mantan Island, seemingly heading to Sizhou Island.
The content of the negotiation between Mantan Island and Jiang Xingchen was also spread, and no one who heard it was screaming.
"What did you say? Mandan Island actually gave Mingque Island to Jiang Xingchen. This... is impossible?" Most people didn't believe that Mingque Island is too important to Mandan Island. It can be said that a Mingque Island is much more valuable than the terms of Chongming Island. They really don't understand how Mandan Island could agree.
"Mantan Island is too cowardly. The Wang family fleet bombed a port, which scared them to the point of giving up Mingque Island!"
"That's right, I won't let you go if I fight to the death!"
"What do you know? The main reason is that there is chaos inside Mantan..."
When various versions of rumors spread out, the senior officials of Sizhou Island gathered in the palace, each with tense faces, as if facing a great enemy! (To be continued...)
