Chapter 331 Enemy from the Ocean

Seeing that Chen Bai was already fascinated, the man surnamed Li smiled and said, "How about this book, Village Chief Chen?"

Chen Bai came back to his senses, his face was a little embarrassed, "I'm sorry just now, the writing in this book is really interesting, I was a little absorbed in reading it, and made Brother Li laugh."

The man surnamed Li disapproved, waved his hands and said, "Don't say this book is the village chief, when it first came out a few months ago, it was very popular in the capital. Those bizarre stories might have happened in the past. Things, maybe there really was a god named Pangu who created this world.”

Chen Bai nodded and said, "It is indeed possible!"

"Mr. Chen, just listen to this bizarre incident. Why don't you want to buy me a drink?"

Chen Bai suddenly said: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Brother Li, please!"

The man surnamed Li smiled, and followed Chen Bai into the village. Looking at the orderly houses in the village, he couldn't help nodding his head. Although this is only a small village, the village is very clean, and there is no smell of human excrement or urine. , Presumably it was Chen Bai's strict requirement.

"Village Chief Chen has a great plan. Compared with the other villages, these three villages are much better. After the end of his term, he will definitely be able to make further progress."

Hearing this, Chen Bai smiled and said, "I don't have any skills, I just hope that there will be no major troubles in the past five years."

While talking, the two had arrived at Chen Bai's residence.

"Brother Li, it's noon now, let's sell the goods after dinner!" Chen Bai said slowly.

"Then please trouble Village Chief Chen."

"What's the trouble? It's just that this remote place is no better than returning to Yucheng. I hope Brother Li doesn't mind."

"Village Chief Chen, you're being polite!" the man surnamed Li cupped his hands.

"Brother Li, please!"

"Village chief please!"

After entering the house, Chen Bai cooked for himself and prepared a fairly sumptuous meal.

In the afternoon, the trading station began to sell goods, and the villagers who had already heard the news came here. Since Chen Bai went to Guiyu City to talk to the magistrate about the villagers' requirements, the magistrate felt that it was indeed a good idea to let the trading station go to the villages to sell goods on a regular basis. A good thing, since the incident, the villagers' living supplies have been greatly enriched.

The main commodity that the villagers buy is grain. There is no grain in the north. Although the grain production in Xia Kingdom is abundant, it is not an easy task to transport it to the north. The rice and noodles here are much more expensive than those in the south.

But for the villagers, although food is expensive, it is much cheaper than meat. More importantly, food can be stored for a longer period of time.

You only need to buy two sacks of grain at a time, which is enough for a family of three to feed for more than a month. If you work harder, you can hunt and catch more goods, and your life will be very nourishing.

In addition to food, the trading station brought other miscellaneous things this time, such as vegetable seeds, some accessories and cloth. From these scattered things, we can see the current fashion trend of Xia Kingdom.

After solving the problem of food, human beings tend to pursue more things, and women also slowly start to think about their appearance.

Human beings seem to be born with an innate aesthetic ability. Compared with men, those women are often more interested in those bright cloths and jewelry.

The goods of more than a dozen trucks were reduced by half in less than half a day, and both parties to the transaction got what they wanted.

After a night's rest in Guiyu Sancun, Chen Bai brought the man surnamed Li to the place where wild animals were kept in captivity.

"Brother Li, these beasts were captured by the villagers during this period. You have a lot of knowledge, let's see how much these things can be sold for."

The man surnamed Li looked at a large animal pen in surprise, and said: "Mr. Chen, these wild beasts are good things, and they are all alive. Look at these bears. If one of these bears grows up, it will be the last one!" At least one hundred guan can be sold."

Chen Bai was overjoyed, "Brother Li, what about the others?"

The man surnamed Li glanced at the other animal pens, and said: "Other beasts are not of much value except for killing and eating meat, but there are a lot of them here, and even if they are bought, they are not a small fortune. "

"Brother Li, I have an idea. As you have seen, we have a lot of wild animals here, especially cubs. It is very difficult to raise them with the ability of our village. These are basically the limit. Kill them." I think it's a pity to sell meat, can you do me a favor." Chen Bai said slowly.

"Oh, what does Village Chief Chen want to do?"

"I think so, can you please tell Brother Li about our situation when you go to other villages, if you need to buy cubs, you can come to our village, we plan to sell cubs, if possible It would be best to sell these cubs to various parts of the Xia Kingdom." Chen Bai said in a deep voice.

The man surnamed Li pondered for a while, and said: "As expected of the village head Chen, he is very knowledgeable, and he can think of such a good way. In this way, Guiyu San Village will become the wealthiest village in the north."

Chen Bai smiled and said: "If it really succeeds, I will definitely not treat Brother Li badly."

Hearing this, the man surnamed Li nodded in satisfaction and said, "Don't worry, Village Chief Chen, this matter is on my shoulders, but if you want the people from the trading station to help you deliver this news, Village Chief Chen may have to spend a lot of money." .”

"It doesn't matter. If you can really have the power of the trading station to help, you should spend some money." Chen Bai said disapprovingly.

"Okay, since that's the case, don't worry, Village Chief Chen, just wait for my good news!" the man surnamed Li assured, patting his chest.

"Then thank you brother Li." Chen Bai said gratefully.

After the two of them had some courtesy, the trading station bought some leather from the villagers, and then hurried to another village at dawn.

At the same time, at the other end of the Shenzhou mainland, seven or eight huge ships were slowly sailing on the sea, heading in the direction of Xia Guo.

However, the human beings in the Xia Kingdom knew nothing about the upcoming threats. As life got better and better, the people of the country were full of hope for the future life, and the whole country lived and worked in peace and contentment.

The new seaport has already begun to expand. The appearance of hydraulic forging hammers has made steel less expensive, and the bronze tools have been replaced with steel tools, making the speed of opening roads many times faster than when bronze was used before.

And the first batch of workers who built the new port have already entered the dense jungle and moved towards the southern coastline under the escort of soldiers.

Among them, the accompanying officials from the Ministry of Industry had learned the method of firing cement before departure, and the second port built with new materials would be a solid fortress, and the enemy would never think of easily breaking through here.

In the first five years, at the end of June!

After more than a year of development, the pioneering teams from all walks of life have expanded to the limit of the land. The tribes in the northern jungle and western grassland have been completely conquered, and nearly 30 people have been captured. Although some people died, births are encouraged in Xiaguo Under the policy, the total population has exceeded 50 including newborn babies.

Most of the humans in the mainland of China are concentrated in the eastern region, and the west has basically become a no-man's land.

Many new cities were built in a year, and Wang Lang also stationed heavy troops in coastal cities, with the total strength exceeding 3.

There are three thousand troops stationed in Harbor City alone, and countless gunpowder.

In the harbor city, Wu Gang led four warships to swim on the sea surface. The crystal telescope newly developed by the Ministry of Industry has been equipped in all armies.

Crystal lenses are difficult to grind, and only generals above the general level are lucky enough to obtain one.

Wu Gang took a telescope and looked around at the situation on the sea. He couldn't put it down in his hands. Observing the situation in the distance has become a daily habit of his.

In the circular field of view of the telescope, some seabirds and pterosaurs chased each other, staged a thrilling air chase.

When Wu Gang turned his vision away to the sea in the east, some black spots suddenly appeared in his vision.

Wu Gang was startled, and quickly pointed the telescope in that direction. The black dots slowly enlarged in his field of vision, and he finally saw clearly what those things were.

"Return! Return quickly!" Wu Gang shouted in horror.

The soldiers looked at Wu Gang with some doubts, wondering why he had to return to the voyage after he was doing well, and it was not yet the end of the daily training.

Seeing the soldiers still standing there in a daze, Wu Gang felt very anxious.

, shouted: "What are you doing here in a daze, hurry back, the enemy is attacking!"

Hearing that there were enemies, the soldiers were shocked, and the flag bearer on the watchtower hurriedly signaled for the other three ships to return.

The fleet hurriedly galloped in the direction of the Harbor City. As soon as the ship docked, Wu Gang quickly ordered the soldiers to report back.

Black Horn, who had just been promoted to the chief of the harbor, was sitting bored in the tower, drinking iced drinks, and yawning constantly while looking at the blue sea.

In the front view, I suddenly saw a soldier coming towards this side in panic. Looking at his clothes, he was obviously a sailor of the navy.

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!" The sailor ran to the wall and shouted hoarsely.

Heijiao heard that the cup in his hand fell to the ground, and hurried down the tower, ordering the soldiers to open the city gate.

When the sailor saw Black Horn, he immediately bowed to him: "Soldier, there are a large number of unknown fleets on the sea!"

"Unknown fleet, how is it possible!" Black Horn exclaimed, but he quickly realized that these years of peaceful life almost made him forget about the dinosaurs mentioned by Wang Lang. The fleet is not Xia Guo's, it is very likely that it belongs to those dinosaurs.

"Immediately send a signal to the fortress, mobilize all troops to support immediately, light the beacon, and the dragoons return to the capital immediately to report to His Majesty!" Black Horn issued several orders in a row.

Several guards left in a hurry after hearing the words.

The well-trained army was quickly assembled, and trotted to the fortress at the harbor, where large trebuchets were placed, just to prevent the sudden appearance of enemies on the sea.

Wu Gang stared nervously at the situation on the sea, but those ships did not appear in his vision, and he didn't know if they hadn't come yet or went to other places.

As Black Horn came to reinforce with the army, Wu Gang couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. With the addition of the Daxia Army, even if he was defeated, it would be very difficult for the enemy to break through here.

"General Wu, where is the enemy now?" Black Horn asked.

"I don't know yet, but we should be there soon, Commander-in-Chief, I think it would be better to send dragoons to the sea to have a look." Wu Gang suggested.

Black Horn nodded, turned around and ordered: "Send two dragoons to the sea immediately to check!"

"Yes!"

Hearing the words, the orderly hurried towards the fortress.

Black Horn and the two looked at the dragoons flying out of the fortress, their expressions were full of solemnity.

"Are they really those dinosaurs?" Heijiao said solemnly.

Wu Gang nodded and said: "It is very possible that the previous dinosaurs came from this direction. This time, it seems that His Majesty's concerns are indeed correct. Thanks to our Xia Kingdom, most of China has been unified, otherwise the consequences will be really serious. gone."

Black Horn nodded, did not speak, and stared fixedly at the sea.

Not long after, the dragoons returned.

"Report to the general, a large-scale unidentified fleet has been found on the sea ahead, and it stops at a distance of twenty miles from here. I don't know what to do?" the dragoon said loudly.

"Can you see what they look like?" Black Horn asked.

"I can't see it clearly, but it looks weird, not like a human being." The dragoon said hesitantly.

The two looked at each other, their hearts sank.

"Explore again!" Black Horn ordered.

"Yes!"

The dragoons cupped their hands, mounted the pterosaur and soared into the sky.

"General Wu, if you make a move later, it will mainly depend on your navy." Black Horn said seriously.

Wu Gang cupped his hands and said, "Don't worry, Chief Soldier. If these people are really malicious towards us, I will definitely let them die under the sea."

Hei Dian nodded, but the tension in his heart could be seen from the clenched fists.

After a long time, only one of the two dragoons returned.

Heijiao was startled, and asked in panic: "What's going on, why are you the only one who came back?"

"Soldier, those monsters attacked us with a powerful bed crossbow, and another Paoze died in battle! They have already come here." The dragoon said with a sad expression.

Heijiao's face turned ashen when he heard the words, he pulled out the steel knife on his waist, and roared angrily: "Everyone is ready, anyone who dares to offend me, Great Xia, will be killed without mercy!"

"kill!"

"kill!"

"kill!"

The soldiers roared loudly. For so long, Da Xia had not encountered an enemy who dared to challenge him. Faced with the death of Pao Ze for no reason, the soldiers were extremely angry.

"General Wu, please." Heijiao's face was extremely serious.

Now that these people have taken the lead, there is no possibility of a peaceful solution to this matter, and the majesty of Great Xia will never allow anyone to violate it.

Wu Gang nodded, boarded the boat, and said loudly: "Pao Ze, the enemy invaded Daxia, kill my brother Pao Ze, follow me to kill the enemy!"

"Kill the enemy!"

Following the angry roar of the soldiers, the four warships spread out and faced the enemy without fear. After such a long training, this battle is also a time to test the results of the naval training.

Visible to the naked eye on the sea ahead, seven or eight warships are sailing towards this side at a fast speed.
