Chapter 927 A Gentleman's Word
Linqing left Qingdao Port and headed eastward at an astonishing speed. It took only one day to arrive at Ningjin Station, the easternmost point of Jiaozhou Peninsula.

It was during this day's itinerary that Sun Chengzong, Liu Zongzhou and others were eye-opened by the excellence of Linqing.

"This ship is used as a warship. All designs are for combat, so it is not too comfortable. When the route from Shandong to Jeju Island and then to North Korea can be put into commercial and civilian use in the future, it will be more convenient for people to travel. of."

In order for Sun Chengzong and others to live comfortably on board, Shang Kexi deliberately vacated the combat conference room and placed several beds.

Otherwise, they are all old people, living on a small bed in the sailor's dormitory, the body can't bear it.

Even so, the smooth running of the Linqing still made everyone appreciate it.

"Use this ship to go to Lushun, and I'm afraid we can arrive on the same day. In this way, whether it's transporting supplies or combat support, we can arrive in the morning and evening, ensuring nothing goes wrong."

As expected of a military master, Sun Chengzong immediately thought of the great benefits brought by the Linqing.

Today's Ningjin Institute has been abandoned.

This place was originally set up to prevent pirates. The place is remote and desolate, and there is basically no output.

Since the Xia Kingdom occupied Shandong, it has greatly enhanced its sea power, so naturally there is no need to set up these redundant military facilities on land.

The people here have all been relocated to live in other places.The remaining city walls now have new uses.

Under the command of Shang Kexi, the artillerymen on the Linqing took the fortifications of Ningjin Institute as targets, and tried a good test of the effect of the warship's siege.

When bombarding ships at sea before, the power of Xia Jun's artillery was not revealed.

Seeing that every shot passed at this time, the city wall must collapse and bricks and tiles would splash, Sun Chengzong completely stared straight at it.

"With such a sharp weapon, what's the use of the city wall?"

Zuo Menggeng took advantage of the situation and said: "Because of this, all the city walls were demolished in our Xia Kingdom. Without the city walls, the development of the city will no longer be restricted, which greatly enhances the vitality of the people. "

Sun Chengzong turned his head and looked at the young hero complicatedly.

"You have such a powerful army and such powerful firearms, who else in the world is your opponent? No one else can break in. The city wall is indeed useless."

He seemed to have seen that the capital that was broken by countless Xia troops turned Chongzhen into a prisoner.

Linqing's maiden voyage did not end here.

Both Zuo Menggeng and Shang Kexi are daring people.After discussion, Linqing turned eastward from here and headed straight for Jeju Island.

Anyway, it's all a sea trial, so you might as well go to the ocean to better test the performance of the ship.

People in this era don't have any cautious scientific thinking, and don't care whether it is appropriate for the Linqing to venture into the deep sea blindly as a new ship.

But in other words, if the Linqing is still safe and sound from Shandong to Jeju Island, it is indeed enough to go into actual combat immediately.

Going eastward this way, the performance of Linqing has been thoroughly demonstrated.

Originally, it took a four-day voyage to take a lucky boat.This time, it only took three days for the Linqing to berth at the pier on Jeju Island.

Be it Sun Chengzong, Liu Zongzhou, Sun Qifeng and others are all setting foot in a foreign country for the first time in their lives.

They are full of curiosity and hope to dabble in some exotic customs.

But when they saw the scene on the pier, several people couldn't help being disappointed.

Because if you look around, there is almost no difference between Qingdao and Dengzhou, except for the occasional aborigines in Korean costumes.

"I've disappointed you seniors. Now this place has been completely taken over by us. All the facilities and operations are all in the Xia country's model. Although this place belongs to North Korea, it is no different from Xia country."

Sun Chengzong and others smiled bitterly and set foot on the land of Jeju Island.

Jeju Island is even busier now, and the supplies brought in from all over the place are sorted one by one by the workers on the wharf, and then hoarded everywhere.

The endless flow of working people makes the air in this winter hot, making it impossible to feel the slightest cold.

Sun Chengzong was full of emotion.

"At the beginning of the battle in Liaodong, every cent of money and every piece of cotton padded clothes had to be carefully planned, and the key points had to be used. Unlike here, the food and grass are piled up like mountains and countless, so the soldiers on the front line should feel at ease! "

Zuo Menggeng agrees with this very much.

"For the country and the people, the soldiers sacrificed their lives and shed their blood. If they can't even do a good job in logistical support, wouldn't it make the soldiers sad? How can there be combat power?"

How could Sun Chengzong not know this truth.

He pointed to the vast sea of ​​supplies in front of him.

"These are all money!"

Liu Yiyuan just happened to walk over, and said with a smile, "The most important thing in my Xia Kingdom is money."

Such a tough word really made Sun Chengzong unable to question it.

He has been traveling in Shandong for a long time, and he has a deep understanding of the prosperity of the Xia Kingdom.

Perhaps in this new regime, we will be able to see the moment when the Chinese nation regains its glory!

Following the Linqing, one ship after another began to dock, but Zuo Menggeng saw a familiar person.

"Hey, aren't you Park Jingyan? Why are you here too?"

Hearing Zuo Menggeng's greeting, a beautiful woman hurriedly passed the cordon and ran to the front, smiling like a flower.

"Your Highness, do you still remember me?"

Zuo Menggeng laughed.

"You are such a great beauty, no one will forget it after seeing you."

Being praised by him, Park Jingyan was both shy and happy.

"We were ordered to come here to support the production of materials here. The logistics department plans to build a garment factory here, and I will be in charge of it."

Zuo Menggeng couldn't help giving her a thumbs up.

"Heroines, admire and admire."

He is really happy to see that more and more women are able to devote themselves to their new careers.

But he thought of something again, and his expression became weird.

"I heard that Murong Fuke is here, I'm afraid that someone will take the opportunity to seek personal gain."

Pu Jingyan's delicate face instantly turned red into a ripe shrimp.

"I... I don't think so!"

Zuo Menggeng smiled, and said earnestly: "You have to work, but you must also pay attention to life. This way you can combine work and rest without delay. After this battle is over, I will personally officiate the wedding for you."

Unexpectedly, he would say that, Pu Jingyan was ashamed and happy, and couldn't hold back.

After thinking about it, she stretched out her little finger towards Zuo Menggeng.

"You are the lord of a country, His Royal Highness Qiantui, you can't count your words."

In front of everyone, Zuo Menggeng hooked up with her.

"a man of his words!"

With his assurance, Park Kyung-yeon was elated.

"Your Highness, I'm going to work, and I promise to build the garment factory well."

Seeing her flying away like a butterfly, everyone present, young and old, felt at ease.

Such energetic people are rare in other places.
