Chapter 267: Discussion of Territory, to open up the Nanyang Continent?
"So, where are you going to watch the night next?"

In the Shen family hall, Shen Guanye, Shen Shenghui, Bai Huaian, Lu Boxiang, Professor Lu, Bai Huaihe, and Mr. Wumian were all present, and it was Bai Huaian who spoke.

Everyone here can be said to be an indispensable core figure when Shen Guanye builds his power in the future.

Among them, Shen Guanye, as the absolute core, naturally has to attend.

It can be said that everyone present today is able to gather together because of Shen Guanye. He was responsible for the current situation. Without him, everyone would never be able to get together.

Although Shen Shenghui is inferior in strength and qualifications, he is Shen Guanye's father, and that alone is enough for him to attend.

Needless to say, Bai Huaian and Bai Huaihe will undoubtedly become Shen Guanye's core team. As representatives of the Bai family's interests, Bai Huaian and Bai Huaihe must of course attend.

The prestige or strength of the two people is enough for them to attend, especially Bai Huaian and Shen Guanye have a deep personal relationship.

The Chixia Gang was a surprise. After the war, Professor Lu and the brothers expressed their willingness to join Shen Guanye - note, joining and not just forming an alliance.

This was really a big surprise for Shen Guanye.

But if you think about it carefully, you will find that it is not surprising that the Red Man Gang made such a choice.

Because until now, the Red Man Gang is still an illegal organization and is heavily wanted. It can only hide and cannot carry out public activities.

Not only do you have to endure dangers at all times, but your expansion is also severely restricted.

It will be different if he joins Shen Guanye's side. Next, Shen Guanye will definitely have his own territory and become a legitimate warlord. And based on his pioneering achievements in the past few days, even Hong Canghai and the Star Kingdom are not sure. To deal with him.

Joining the Red Hero Gang is like a bird flying into the sky or a fish entering the sea. It is no longer fettered. It is definitely a good choice for the Red Hero Gang.

As for nominally obeying Shen Guanye's orders?

Not to mention that Shen Guanye was kind and would not embarrass others. Even if he changed later, the Red Xia Gang had such strong strength and would never be reduced to the level where others could order them at will. They had great autonomy.

The one who should really be worried is Shen Guanye. Although his men are strong, they don't have many people. With a behemoth like the Red Xia Gang suddenly joining, Shen Guanye is in danger of being left out.

However, these things should be considered and troubled by Shen Guanye later. Now for him who is in urgent need of strength and talents, the addition of the Red Hero Gang is definitely something worth celebrating.

The remaining Mr. Sleepless appears here as an ally.

The Chixia Gang is willing to join Shen Guanye's men and team up with him. It is still possible to save the country. It is absolutely impossible. The two are not on the same scale now.

Even if Shen Guanye is now favored by Red Soul, it is impossible with this country-level heroic spirit sitting in charge.

Even if Shen Guanye and the senior officials of the National Salvation Association have this intention and are willing to work hard for it, it is impossible. Forcibly swallowing it will only cause indigestion.

This is something independent of human will.

"What do you think?"

Shen Guanye did not act arbitrarily, but asked everyone for their opinions.

For discussion, we need to listen to the opinions of all parties to see if there is a better plan and whether we can convince everyone to reach a consensus. Otherwise, why are we sitting here?

"With your current reputation in Guanye, if you ask the central government to command an army and sit on one side, the central government will definitely not refuse. And I estimate that the central government will give you the territory -" Lu Boxiang said, looking around as he spoke Everyone's eyes finally met with Bai Huaian's, "It won't be smaller than a province."

Bai Huaian nodded slightly, obviously agreeing with Lu Boxiang's judgment. At the same time, he couldn't help but feel a subtle sense of absurdity in his heart.

He and Lu Boxiang are also old colleagues. They both belong to the giants of the Bilong Clan and have had a lot of dealings with each other in the past. It is common for them to sit together for meetings and discussions like this.

Unexpectedly, such big changes happened one after another, and the two of them were sitting under the same roof again. It felt like two "big rebels" had reunited inexplicably.

There is really a subtle sense of absurdity that makes people laugh.

"Of course, all parts of Tianxia are now occupied by large and small warlords. If we want to have territory, the central government only gives us a name. We have to rely on ourselves to really conquer it."

Lu Boxiang continued.

At this point, everyone laughed.

With their current strength, it was more than enough to conquer a province, so no one present thought this was a difficult task.

"So, the question remains, where should we go next? We definitely can't stay in Zhenlong Province."

Lu Boxiang finally said.

With Shen Guanye's current strength, he could of course separate himself from Hongdong County and then slowly expand his sphere of influence. This would save him from having to go to war and relocate people.

But the problem is that this place is too close to Canglang City. How can we allow others to snore next to the bed?

If Shen Guanye really chooses to separate Hongdong County, he will bloom in the center of Bilong Clan, and Hong Canghai will not tolerate it under any circumstances.

At that time, you will have to endure huge pressure and it will be impossible to have the energy to develop.

Therefore, choosing a suitable site is a must, and moving people is also a must.

"My opinion is to go south."

Because he was the one doing the talking, Lu Boxiang took the lead in giving his opinion.

"That's impossible in the northwest and Gyeonggi regions. They are the central government's base. The central government's demarcation of territory must be for the purpose of driving away wolves and tigers. It would never use our power to attack warlords who are not its base. Asking for trouble.”

"The northeast is the territory of the Gui Clan, and further south is the Tai'a Clan. Those areas are not suitable places."

"For the same reason, there is a Po Warlord in the southwest, and a Wuqu Clan next to it. These are the top five warlords. The starting point is right next to these big warlords. This is not a good choice."

"The southeast is not suitable either. It is too close to the Bilong Clan and Donghua Island. Donghua Island has a large number of Star Kingdom garrison, and they can cause harm at any time."

"Throwing away these places, there are still a lot of places to choose from, but overall, the south is the most suitable. It has been rich and densely populated since ancient times. Nowadays, there are no powerful warlords. Several warlords with similar strength are fighting. Continuously, this is the time to fish in troubled waters.”

Everyone present could not help but nod after hearing this.

"It's very suitable."

At this time, Bai Huaihe, who had hardly said anything, suddenly spoke.

"But the south is not a land of dragon prosperity. Since ancient times, it has never been possible to use the southern provinces as its territory and finally succeed."

In one sentence, everyone present could not help but become speechless.

Although Shen Guanye never expressed this intention clearly, and no one else expressed a similar intention, everyone present knew that Shen Guanye wanted to take over Beichen in the future.If they don't have this intention, why are they sitting here?
Did you go home?

Or are you saying that after you separate one side, you are waiting for a leader to attack and conquer it?

How can it be!

Not to mention that today, it is impossible to see any one who has the appearance of a master - whether it is the three generations of prime ministers or those big warlords, is there any one who has the appearance of a master?

It would be good if we could maintain the status quo. Don't even think about unifying the country and recreating Tianxia.

Even if a master does appear, are they willing to surrender to each other without even fighting?
It's impossible. Even if Shen Guanye agrees, these subordinates will not agree.

Therefore, everyone present knew that after they separated into one side, they would definitely strive to take over Beichen and recreate Tianxia.

Besides - Shen Guanye does seem to have a destiny, and he has some destiny.

How can he get the favor of a 14th level awakened heroic spirit without even a fraction of his destiny?

Not only the 14th-level awakened heroic spirits, but also the country-level bosses.

How can he have such exaggerated fighting power without even a fraction of his destiny?
Even if they are friends, even if so long has passed, Professor Lu and the others still feel a little dizzy when they think of Shen Guanye's performance in Canglang City.

How could Shen Guanye have so many new heroes with so little destiny?
Menes of the Nile Kingdom only received three new pharaoh-type heroic spirits at once and was regarded as the destiny of the Nile Kingdom. Shen Guanye had more than ten kinds!

If this is not destiny, then what is?
"Although those provinces are not the land of Longxing, but..."

Lu Boxiang wanted to say something, but he kept his mouth shut after thinking about it, because what Bai Huaihe said did make sense.

Shen Guanye listened silently.

This world is very different from his original world, which was truly unified from south to north only once.

In this world, there are relatively many unifications from south to north.

Because of the existence of extraordinary power, the contingency brought about by powerful extraordinary individuals is enough to break the rules.

But generally speaking, the number of unifications from south to north in Tianxia's history is still much less than from north to south. The dynasty that completed the unification from the provinces mentioned by Lu Boxiang was even more of a city. No.

So when Bai Huaihe said these words, everyone fell silent.

Shen Guanye himself didn't care. He believed that he had the Kingdom of God in his hands. As long as he wanted to, he could complete the unification wherever he started. However, he didn't like the southernmost provinces, so he didn't say anything.

Professor Lu said:

"The western region was once the land of Longxing, but the last time it happened was 1000 years ago. Now it is a bitter cold land, sparsely populated, and is no longer suitable for separatist rule."

"The only advantage is that we can expand further west, expand our territory, and gain more territory. But the problem is that this place is surrounded by Tianlong Clan, Beichen City, and Po Warlord. We want to expand within the country. To gain territory, we have to face two powerful enemies: the central government and the warlords.”

"Not a wise move."

"So the suitable place should be a province in the central and southern region?" Bai Huaian said, "It is a certain distance from the Bilong Clan and the east coast. There are no strong enemies around. You can attack or retreat."

"Those provinces in the central and southern regions are really good, and there have been unified emperors in history."

Lu Boxiang and others couldn't help but nod.

"Guanye, what do you mean?"

"Uncle Bai, what you said makes sense. But I have an idea. I don't know whether it is feasible or not. Dad, Mr. Wumian, Senior Lu, Professor Lu, and Uncle Bai, why don't you all listen and see? How feasible is it?”

"You said."

"My idea is to ask the central government for the right to develop, and then set the territory south of the broken warlords - on the Nanyang continent."

Shen Guanye said.

Shi Po was shocked. For a moment, Bai Huaian, Lu Boxiang and others were a little commotion. They opened their mouths to express their objections. Even Mr. Wu Mian, who had not spoken much and only listened quietly to their discussion, looked surprised. His lips were slightly opened, and he wanted to say something. What.

Shen Guanye hurriedly explained why he thought so before anyone could dissuade him.

"I know what everyone wants to say, just listen to me first."

"Professor Lu just reminded me of this idea. He said that if the territory is set in the west, then we can attack outside the country's borders."

"Since we can fight to the west, can we also fight to the south? To carve out a large territory and then compete in the Central Plains when we are strong?"

The more he talked, the brighter Shen Guanye's eyes became, and his excitement was palpable.

Although this world has many similarities with the time and space where Shen Guanye originally lived, there are also many differences. For example, the south of Tianxia is still a barbaric land unsuitable for human habitation to this day, and is called the Nanyang Continent.

Although there are some indigenous people living on it, until now, these indigenous civilizations are only in a tribal state, and they have not even established a city-state, let alone a dynasty.

The reason why Tianxia has not extended its tentacles into the Nanyang Continent for thousands of years is, firstly, because it would take many, many years to digest the 54 provinces, and secondly, because the Nanyang Continent is really not suitable for survival.

The land with high cost performance has not been conquered and digested yet?Who will occupy land that is extremely cost-effective?

This situation only changed in modern times after the birth of the Heroic Spirit Nest.

A large number of heroic lairs began to appear in the Nanyang Continent, and the land that was originally of low value suddenly became extremely valuable - even if it is still not suitable for survival, it is just a nominal occupation. In this way, the land born in this place The lair of heroic spirits is nominally his own.

This is the so-called "jurisprudence".

The previous dynasty was not stupid, and naturally recognized the value of the Nanyang Continent. However, it was already in turmoil at that time. How could it still have the energy to manage the Nanyang Continent and compete with the great powers for territory?

It was impossible at that time, and even more impossible after falling into disintegration.

For Shen Guanye, who has experience in later generations, he is more aware of the importance of carving up the Nanyang continent, because this is the only window of time left to compete for territory. After the world war is over and a new order is established, he will want to expand the territory. It's difficult.

The same principle also applies to the west. If the territory in the west can be expanded, Tianxia's land area will also be much larger in the future.

It's just that compared to the Nanyang Continent, the plateaus and mountains in the west of Tianxia are too barren and miserable. There may be a lot of various energy and mineral resources, but they can't support too many people. And if he wants to dominate the world, he will have enough. of population is a must.

Although Nanyang Continent is not suitable for human survival now, it is a tropical area with extremely rich products. As long as certain improvements can be made, it can feed countless people, and he——

Didn’t you just get the “supreme artifact” to improve the environment?
