A Timely Wife

The days passed day by day, and the south has not been very stable. Even if the old general Zhang is not as strong as before, he is still a tiger general. Although the coalition forces formed by the southern countries launched several attacks, they were all blocked by the Zhang family army. , the strength of the Zhang family's army is not bad in the first place, plus a batch of new weapons transported from Nanjiang Mansion were thrown into the battlefield, not only did the coalition forces of the southern countries fail to gain any benefits from General Zhang, but on the contrary, many soldiers were killed. .

The war in the south fell into a stalemate for a while. The coalition forces of the southern countries were waiting for the opportunity to launch a large-scale attack. He can't win the battle yet, so there's no need to stick his old face on his own.

Although several prefectural cities in the west have been seized by Dahe's army for a long time, internal resistance has continued. Dahe's army is not large, and he is tired of suppressing the rebels in these prefectures. The action of Shangnanchu was very fast. After moving the capital to Nanjiang Mansion, the military deployment was quickly adjusted, and 10,000+ subordinates were divided into four directions in the southeast, northwest, and four large military regions were established. Each military region had a commander and a political commissar. , in charge of the affairs of the military region. The military region is equipped with infantry, cavalry, and artillery. According to Chengdong's idea, the air force can be added soon. It's not that they made airplanes, but they made hot air balloons. It is estimated that it will be put into use in a few months.

Although a hot air balloon is not as good as an airplane, it is already a very magical existence in the current situation. During the experiment, Nan Chu's brains and brains all sat on it and flew around in the sky. Chengdong is very confident in the hot air balloons produced by the military factory, and they are flying under heavy guards. Otherwise, only one attack is needed, and the Southern Chu court will fall into turmoil again. After all, all the people above have been wiped out. Two clean.

Chengdong used to fly a lot in his previous life, so he wasn't that crazy about hot air balloons, but Li Ruosong and his natives had never flown into the sky. Hot air balloons are really amazing things for them, so just light them up, Being able to fly to the sky and bring people along, flying into the sky is no longer something that exists in legends.

Li Ruosong stood in the hanging basket, accompanied by his relatives and robes, and his lover who had been with him for many years, watching the earth gradually move away from him, the range of his vision gradually expanded, he felt a little dizzy, almost A little guy's cheers came from behind, he held Chengdong's hand tightly, and once again sighed with emotion that he had married an amazing husband.

The hot air balloon used for experiments was named Nanchu Royal No. [-]. After a large number of hot air balloons were equipped with the army, this hot air balloon became a thing for the royal family of Nanchu. Its name is also unique, even a few years later. The first aircraft developed does not have such a glorious title. The first thing that appears will always leave a special symbol in people's hearts.

The northern side of Southern Chu is still firmly suppressed by the Southern Chu Navy. Before Dahe has formed a navy capable of competing with Southern Chu, it is difficult for the Dahe army in the north to go south on a large scale. There is no one on the Chu River. The bridge can still be used before detouring to the west. After the six prefectures in the west were seized, the navy of Nanchu went up the river and blew up the only bridge connecting the two banks in the upper reaches of the Chu River. Dahe's army was divided into two parts , This also annoyed the princes of Dahe, but there was nothing they could do. They tried to build a bridge, but the artillery fire in Nanchu was too strong, and dozens of boats patrolled the Chu River non-stop. The army assembled and fired immediately.

It’s not that Dahe never thought of expropriating the people of Dachu to build bridges, but they didn’t expect that the navy of Southern Chu didn’t care about the soldiers of Dahe who built the bridge or the people of Dachu. No matter how many people ran, Dahe gave up this method after trying several times. After years of fighting, many people had died.

Dahe doesn’t want all the people to die. They still have some brains. If people die, it’s no use for them to go to many places. No one farms, no one makes clothes, no one left, It's useless, not to mention that they themselves hope to recruit more soldiers from the common people. If too many people die because of things like bridge construction, where will they find people to fill the army.

Under this balance, Southern Chu has developed steadily and steadily. In just a few years, Southern Chu has become a bit prosperous. The roads between the prefectures and cities are wide and flat. Road construction no longer requires the mining of rocks and laborious transportation, and the sand produced by dredging the river every year is also useful. The cement roads are uniformly built according to eight lanes. With the advancement of road construction projects, the development of Nanchu has also accelerated. double.

In addition to bringing a lot of wealth to Nanchu, overseas trade also brought a large number of capable foreigners to Nanchu. At the same time, it also cultivated many outstanding young people. Many of them did not return to Nanchu immediately after going to sea. It is to stay in a foreign country and concentrate on studying. In recent years, Nanchu has more and more frequent exchanges with overseas countries. Nanchu Posthouses have been built in many countries for Nanchu people to live there and engage in trade.

Of course, not all countries will welcome the visit of Nanchu people, but those who refuse to accept will eventually succumb to the hands of the soldiers who followed the Nanchu fleet across the ocean. Such goods, a large amount of gold and silver were transported back to Nanchu one by one, and filled into the treasury.

Porcelain, tea, silk, etc., which are not very valuable in Southern Chu, are just going out with a boat, which is dozens of times the huge profits. As a modern warrior who has seen the rise of great powers, Chengdong certainly understands the accumulation of primitive capital How important it is, and how domineering, if I am strong and you are weak, you can only open the country, if I have you, you can only obediently pay for it.

Chengdong only mentioned a few words about the development of overseas trade. It is still very difficult for him to explain why. However, the foreigners brought back by Feng Bao from overseas are well versed in this. As soon as they become the household registration of Nanchu people, these foreigners are naturally doing their best to plan for Nanchu. They hope that their opinions can be adopted by the Nanchu military and can make Nanchu benefit from it. Only their contribution value can reach Only when the standards are met can they live in Nanchu for a long time, and even become people from Nanchu. After issuing a certificate, they can settle down, and they will also be distributed clothing, food, and even housing. If they are willing to engage in agriculture, the local government will also allocate land to them. The conditions can't be better.

But for those who come from overseas, if they want to become Nanchu people, the conditions cannot be more stringent. First, they must be able to speak the official language of Nanchu. After these foreigners come, they must first enter a language school to learn Nanchu dialect. If you can't learn it, you won't be able to graduate. If you can't graduate, you won't be able to solve your job. Learning Nanchu dialect is only the first step. You also need to prove that there is no violation of discipline or law in your country. This violation of discipline and law is not determined according to the laws of various countries. It is determined according to the laws of Southern Chu. It is impossible to hide anything. Before picking them up, Feng Bao had already investigated all these things clearly. Chu time.

After finally passing the audit and being able to speak fluent Nanchu dialect, they have to find ways to accumulate contribution points when they arrive at the assigned positions. The contribution points are accumulated according to their contributions. , to be able to settle down in Nanchu, but even if you have obtained the household registration of Nanchu, there is still a five-year observation period. During the five-year observation period, you have not violated any laws and have not made major mistakes in your work. Only by obtaining a permanent residence permit can future generations be able to say that they are from Southern Chu. Otherwise, even if they marry a woman from Southern Chu, they still have no way to live here forever, and they will be sent back sooner or later.

But those who have lived in Southern Chu, have seen the prosperity of Southern Chu, experienced the comfortable life of Southern Chu, and thought about the precarious days in their respective countries and were even chased and intercepted by others, how would they want to go back? What they hope most is to stay In Southern Chu, all the foreigners who stayed in Southern Chu were trying to increase their contribution value, and obeyed the laws and regulations of Southern Chu more than the people of Southern Chu, for fear that they would be packed and sent back if they were not paying attention.

It can be said that the rapid development of all walks of life in Southern Chu is inseparable from the full promotion of these foreigners, especially the military industry and medicine. Foreigners obtained permanent residency in Southern Chu. Even in later generations, Da Chu's household registration is the most sought-after item in the world, and it is also the most difficult item to obtain. It is as difficult as flying to the sky to pick up stars.

This is all something later. In the second year of Chu Ming, the second year after Emperor Chu Ming ascended the throne, an event that shocked the entire Southern Chu occurred. Later generations called it the Spring Plowing Massacre. The farmlands around the Jiangfu were cultivated in person. On the one hand, it reflected the royal family's emphasis on farming, and on the other hand, it also expressed the hope that the weather will be good all year round. In an agricultural country, farming has always been the foundation of the country.

However, after Emperor Chu Ming came to power, a series of drastic reforms still angered those old ministers. Under internal and external collusion, a group of assassins were ambushed in the suburbs of Beijing.
