From Propulsion City To Multiverse

three days later.

On the beach on the north side of Jilong City.

Under the watchful eyes of thousands of onlookers, Zheng Sen stood on the high platform and said to everyone:

I am Zheng Sen, a contemporary pillar of the Yibao Navy, and I want to announce one thing today, that is, within the scope of the Yibao Navy, the planting, refining, transportation, sales and smoking of Ahibiscus will be completely prohibited. , shoot to kill.

His speech was relayed to various fleets and towns of Yibao Navy through telephone bugs.

Destruction begins.

With an order, the more than 400 boxes of Ahibiscus that were searched were poured into a pool mixed with quicklime and a degrading agent.

Then poured gasoline and ignited, and these pools burst into flames.

Many people who were ruined by A Furong clapped their hands and applauded, but there were also many big smokers showing expressions of pain and desire.

The dragon, the bear, and Ivankov, who were hidden in the crowd, also looked at the blazing flames and showed a smile.

The people around were discussing the new pillar, Zheng Sen.

Xin Dongliang is really a hero. An aunt who sold fish praised.

Hiccup! After another rosacea took a sip of wine, he said worriedly: I'm afraid that he is young and vigorous, young people still need to listen to the experience of the elderly.

At least smoking is a good thing, said another with a long beard.

A middle-aged man with a pointed mouth and monkey cheeks shook his head and complained, Recently, there have been a lot less mountain goods and furs in Liaozhou, and I don't know when this route will resume.

Another person said indignantly: Humph! That's where the rebels belong. Buying things from the Liao is funding the enemy.

You said it lightly, I don't have a fur channel, and the whole family has to drink the northwest wind.

...

Listening to the gossip of these people, Long, Xiong and Ivankov are not surprised. After all, this is a problem that any reform must face, and those with vested interests will definitely not be willing to lose their interests.

Long was in Rogge Town. After secretly watching Roger's execution, he applied to withdraw from the navy a year later. Then, with Ivankov, they visited the South China Sea and the West China Sea from the first half of the Great Route.

Along the way, he met like-minded bears, and also saw the true face of this world and the ugliness of human nature.

As the smoke and dust dissipated, the sin in the pool was also burned away.

The crowd began to gradually decrease, and Long and others also took the opportunity to return to Jilong City.

On the high platform, Zheng Sen just glanced at the back of the other party and left with his subordinates. He still has a lot of things to do.

Declaring war with the Dajin rebels and destroying A Furong's channel, Yibao Marine Corps suddenly lost the mountain goods and furs of Liaozhou, and also lost the income of relying on the transfer of A Furong.

He could even foresee that CP0 would definitely focus on the economic problems of Yibao Shuijun, as an entry point, to find a way to deal with Yibao Shuijun and him.

Inside Dongliang Mansion.

Zheng Sen looked at the investigation report in his hand, and with the help of the Intelligence Department, the overall situation of the entire Yibao Navy was presented to him at a glance.

There are a total of 102,739 members of the Yibao Navy, a total of 18 large fleets;

The controlled area is Jilong Island and the coastal areas of Minzhou. There are three core cities, namely Jilong City, Danshui City, and Gulangyu Island. The total population of the territory is about 670,000.

Obviously, the ratio of soldiers to civilians has reached an astonishing 1:6.7.

Although Alabasta claims to have a standing army of 600,000 and a population of only about 10 million, in fact, of the 600,000 soldiers in Alabasta, only about 100,000 are regular troops, and the rest are militia.

The ratio between soldiers and people of Yibao Navy is obviously extremely unreasonable.

He looked at the captains and said, Everyone, our financial problems will be very troublesome for some time to come,

I plan to reorganize the fleets.

Dongliang, how do you plan to reorganize? As one of the few old Zheng family members who stayed, Zheng Kui, one of Zheng Sen's uncles, was naturally the first to join in.

Zheng Sen stated his plan: 100,000 troops are too many. I plan to eliminate the old and the weak, leaving about 20,000 elites, and the rest of the troops will be incorporated into the production corps.

No! Dongliang, how can we maintain the surrounding escort? And now that we are at odds with Liaozhou, Kong Miner's Four Treasures Navy may take advantage of the situation. An old one-eyed captain stood up and objected.

That's right, Dongliang, please think twice!

It's better to take a long-term view on this matter.

Zheng Sen's overlord's arrogance broke out instantly: If you can provide enough funds, I can consider keeping 100,000 copies.

Gollum!

All of a sudden there was silence in the audience, asking them iron roosters to come up with money was simply more difficult than killing them.

Zheng Sen didn't give them any choice at all: I have made up my mind, and the opponents will resign themselves as captains and leave the Yibao Navy.

In the face of Zheng Sen's strength, all the captains felt very embarrassed, but they dared not say that they would leave the Yibao Navy.

Who knows if what Zheng Sen said is true or false, if he is fishing, then he is really a fool. After all, this is a ruthless man who even dares to put his father under house arrest, and these captains are silent.

Zheng Sen was very satisfied with the situation that he did not dare to refute himself. He was not the pillars of the past and needed to win over these captains.

However, for the captains, he still did not kill them all: Many of you are veterans of Yibao. I respect you very much. As long as everyone cooperates, I will not treat each of you badly.

After he finished speaking, he took out part of the property he had received from Zheng Yiguan before.

Including the Jinguashi gold-copper complex mining area, the Datunshan sulfur mining area, and the Beidi coal mine, these minerals are all located on Jilong Island, and they are also the core industries of the previous pillars of the Yibao Shui Army.

The No. 7-16 mines in the Jinguashi mining area, the No. 4 mines in the Datunshan Sulphur mining area, and the No. 3-8 mines in the Beidi Coal Mine will be sold. Those who want to buy them will raise their hands.

Hearing Zheng Sen's words, many captains were already moved, but they also understood the subtext, that is, in order to obtain the qualification to purchase, the premise is cooperation, otherwise there is no need to say.

Including Yang Tiansheng, who was silent before, he couldn't help but be moved.

You must know that the Jinguashi gold-copper mine, the copper ore and crude gold mined every year, is worth about 700 million to 1 billion baileys.

The Datun Mountain Sulphur Mine and Beidi Coal Mine, although not as valuable as gold and copper, still have hundreds of millions of baileys every year.

Although only part of the mining area is taken out, who is willing to go to sea and work hard to make money while lying down?

The captains of the Zheng family were a little worried and hesitant to say anything, but they could only swallow their anger because of Zheng Sen's strength.

In fact, when these minerals are taken out, it is Dongliang who loses the most profit.

It's just that these captains don't know that Zheng Sen doesn't like these minerals. He just wants to appease these veterans temporarily, and then gradually kick these guys out of the core ranks of the Yibao Navy.

If they cooperate obediently, Zheng Sen will let them enjoy their old age as a wealthy man; if they dare to make small moves, don't blame him for being cruel.

In a single mineral mining industry, he has some ways to clean up.

The economic penetration of the People's Revolutionary Federation can be more insidious and efficient than real swords and real guns. It only needs to ensure a strong deterrence of force. Using the economy can also change the status quo, even more quickly and efficiently.

Just like now, Zheng Sen took out minerals as bait, and these guys took the bait directly. If they were subdued by force, maybe they would surrender on the surface, and they would definitely find ways to make small moves secretly.

This is the combination of grace and power, a big stick in one hand, and candied dates in the other.

Tie them to the economic chariot of the People's Revolutionary League. At that time, these guys will not be able to follow. After all, once the chicken cage island is captured, they will suffer heavy losses.
