When LV Wenyou started his cultivation career in Chaoge City, Su Heng was already standing on the vast sea between the two empires of big business and Tang Dynasty.
His location is the largest island country in the ocean and the territory of Qi.
The state of Qi was also founded by Chinese and Miao people. The original origin of the population was still the seaside people who could not survive in the two empires of big business and Tang Dynasty. After being subjected to various unbearable burdens in life, they set sail to sea to find new hope. Generations and thousands of years of history finally formed countries.
The current state of Qi was founded decades ago by a hero who overthrew Ying, which was originally built here.
The most important territory of Qi is Penglai Island.
Penglai Island, also the largest island of tianyuxing, covers an area of nearly 2 million square kilometers. Although it is smaller than Greenland, the largest island of the earth in the age of inanimate, it is already comparable to the territory of more than ten Shandong provinces.
Equal to the total territory of five or six island countries.
Such a large island is still located at the junction of the tropical and temperate zones. There is a vast plain on the island, and a freshwater river rushes down from several magnificent mountains in the far west of Penglai, giving birth to a large fertile land along the river basin.
It can be said that the new life will be basically good if any Chinese blood legacy that can't stay in the big business and Datang can really reach this huge island.
Penglai Island of nuota has a population of more than 7 million at the moment, which is absolutely called vast and sparsely populated.
If you think about it, you will know that most of the more than ten borders of Shandong Province are fertile plains, with only more than 7 million people
Here, as long as they are not bullied by the powerful gentry of the state of Qi, the life of the common people is basically much better than that of the people of the great merchants and Tang Dynasty.
The state of Qi is still the supremacy of kingship, and the king of Qi commands great power. However, as LV Wenyou once said, the kingship here encourages domestic gentry, officials and even new capital nobles to form political parties and govern according to the situation of political parties.
Su Heng gave a brief overview of the world of Qi and found that it was a very dynamic and vigorous Dynasty.
Even because of its small size, land occupation has unique advantages, coupled with convenient commerce and Trade... The state of Qi shows a trend of swallowing the world.
There are more than 7 million people, including 200000 soldiers and horses who are serious and loyal to the king Qi division, 50000 army troops are all elite, and 30000 are equipped with flint guns and muskets, which are not inferior instruments. Each musket here has a number on its body. You can easily find the craftsman who supervised the manufacture of this gun by using the number.
If there is an accident such as blasting, it can directly punish the craftsman who forged it.
Of the other 20000 armies, 10000 are elite cavalry, 5000 are heavy Armored Cavalry, 5000 are light cavalry, and the last 10000 are spearmen, sword shield soldiers.
Besides, 150000 Navy!
There are 150000 navies and hundreds of battleships. Yes, they are sail battleships. Each can be called a battleship, with a displacement of more than 1000 tons, and each is equipped with dozens or hundreds of bronze guns. The personnel allocation is a battleship, ranging from hundreds to thousands of people.
When it comes to naval combat effectiveness, such a state of Qi is almost the standard of the world's top powers.
Compared with the inanimate era, the military configuration of the 17th and 18th century sea coachman, the sun does not set and other countries is not much worse, or even stronger.
In terms of governing the country, several parties that put forward different slogans and programs took turns to be in power and formed a cabinet to assist the king of Qi. The military has 200000 troops and is only loyal to the king of Qi.
In addition, in addition to the fertile plains that can easily support Qi's seven million people, relying on excellent marine trade... Qi also makes a lot of money. Su Heng couldn't help feeling after he knew something about it.
If he had not interfered and disrupted the original pattern of tianyuxing, it might have developed naturally. The state of Qi might not be able to attack the empires on the two continents of big business and Tang Dynasty.
That is to say, there are many rich businessmen and gentry in Yangzhou in the Tang Dynasty. They raise some ships and sailors for their own self-interest. They can even easily mobilize tens of thousands of "bandits" to besiege Xu Jimin and the close guards photographed by the Tang emperor?
Besides, are there real bandits like Sanxian island who gather tens of thousands of people?
Those forces combined were not enough to beat several battleships of the state of Qi.
With the huge naval power, the monarchs and ministers here really want to do things in Datang... It's definitely not difficult. It may be very difficult to deal with big businessmen. The Shang emperor has always been very strong in the country's ruling power. There are far fewer bad things in Datang.
Think of the Tang Dynasty in the past. There were only 30000 forbidden troops in the hands of the Tang emperor, which was the most reliable. If 150000 navies of the state of Qi casually engaged in the coastal areas, they could cause a bloody avalanche in the situation of the Tang Dynasty.
It's the state of Yue that once made the Tang Dynasty a mess. When it comes to the army, it may be better than the state of Qi. When it comes to the Navy, neither of them is at the same level.
No, even when it comes to the army, I'm afraid 30000 elite troops with muskets and flint guns can also push the state of Yue.
More importantly, the whole country of Qi is in a rising period.
It is only a few decades since this country overthrew the Ying State of the previous generation. The hero who founded the Qi Dynasty has only died for more than 20 years. His successor, Jiang Hui, the new king of Qi, is now in his forties and in good health. He is also a rare Mingjun.
Under Jiang Huizhi, the people can live and work in peace and contentment, rich and healthy. All the officers and soldiers are elite, mainly in the ocean trade. The vast ocean, not only the Congress of other islands, but also the rich businessmen along the coast of Datang, always pretending to be bandits
Let's say that Mr. Wang of Yangzhou in the Tang Dynasty can seize the gold, silver and gem mines of some small island countries. It can be imagined that you don't have enough elite strength to protect. No matter how rich the state of Qi is, it will become a dish.
One of the biggest reasons why the last Ying parliament destroyed the country was that the last royal family of the Ying kingdom not only had no military power, but also was too soft. Big merchants and Tang Dynasty, any tycoons or gentry and nobles, could send fleets to run horses and circle land, not only circle all kinds of good fields and mines, but also occupy countless commercial interests.
Those tycoons, gentry and nobles oppressed the local people of the whole state of Qi and humiliated the country in all kinds of ways.
Finally, Jiang Renmei, the king of Qi, was born in the sky. As an ordinary navy of the country, she fought all the way. She not only defeated all kinds of bandits at sea, but also the gentry, nobles and private soldiers of Shang and Tang Dynasties. She dominated the world like a land war.
You can't even fight on land. Penglai Island in the state of Qi is too big. No matter infantry or cavalry corps, you can gallop here. Thousands of miles of fertile plains breed an island along a big river. If you can't fight on land, even if you win the naval battle, the gentry and powerful families in Shang and Tang dynasties can easily mobilize their troops to dominate Penglai Island.
Jiang Renmei rose all the way, swept away all the decline, and created the ocean hegemony of the Qi Dynasty.
