In the Easy Faction, the atmosphere was bleak. After the White Cloud Daoist returned, all the Celestial Transformation Stages of the Freedom Sect who had not retreated and were able to receive information returned.

Just as Zhang Hao analyzed, even as a holy land, the number of incarnation periods is limited. The emergence of a god transformation period requires decades or hundreds of years of accumulation. That is the foundation of the Holy Land, and we cannot afford to lose it.

And now, a god transformation period has been beheaded, which has shaken the entire Loose Sect.

Not only did he die, but he was beheaded -- this is very serious, this is a provocation! This is an insult, a slap in the face!

However, what is even more hateful is that this matter was still carried out in front of the Guanyun Dao Chief, and it was a group of Yuan Infancy who killed the Dingshan Dao Chief.

And the most shameful thing is that it was the country that once fell in love with the Carefree faction that killed the Dingshan Daoist -- this is a backlash! The country that was co-opted by itself turned around and killed, and the Carefree faction is unspeakable!

This is ...... It has nothing to do with the Xuanzhen Sect! Really, because before killing the Dingshan Daoist, the Jinyang Country still belonged to the country that was co-opted and rebelled by the Free Sect - during the negotiations, the Dingshan Daoist sat there in the Jinyang Country, and the Guanyun Daoist also supported the Jinyang Country in the past, which is ironclad proof.

But after the negotiations, the situation changed. The country of Jinyang brazenly sniped the head of Dingshan Dao. At that time, Dingshan Daoist was still wearing a soul sealing spell, and he had no ability to play at all. It's a shame that this soul spell was actually left by the Guanyun Dao Master!

Therefore, on the surface, this matter has nothing to do with the Xuanzhen Sect from beginning to end. The only relationship that can be barely involved is the specious and vague words that Zhang Hao said after the negotiation.

And according to what the prince of the country of Jinyang said, this Dingshan Daoist is seeking his own death - at that time, he is still arrogantly threatening the country of Jinyang, and he is really invincible in the god period!

And now the problem in front of the Xiaoyao faction is that they know that this Dingshan Daoist died because of the Xuanzhen Sect, but everyone can't find an excuse to retaliate.

Without him, this Dingshan Daoist is typical and stupid! From beginning to end, he has a handle in the hands of the Xuanzhen Sect.

But it is impossible to give up. So, what to do?

A difficult problem is in front of everyone. If they do not retaliate, where will the face of the free-spirited faction go, and if they take revenge, what means, excuses, and reasons will they use?

The three holy places are entangled with each other, and if they blatantly kill each other, I am afraid that it will cause even greater chaos, and the result is likely to be difficult to clean up.

In the silence, the head of the Law Enforcement Hall of the Carefree Sect, 'Daoist Yusong Dao Chief', spoke: "Sect Master, I have an idea, how about we win the country of Langya?"

According to the current layout of the three holy places, the main scope of the Xuanzhen Sect is the west and northwest of the Fertile Earth Continent.

We are mainly in the south and central part of the fertile continent.

There is also the 'Immortal Yin Sect' in the east, mainly in the east and northeast of the Fertile Earth Continent.

And on the southern side of the Fertile Earth Continent, the country of Langya is in the middle ground between us and the Xuanzhen Sect, and this country of Langya has been a little vacillating in the past.

If we can win over the country of Langya, then we will completely cut off the sea communication channel between the Xuanzhen Sect and the entire Fertile Earth Continent from the west and the outside world. At that time, we will be able to trap the Xuanzhen Sect.

Also, this country of Langya is right in front of us, and this time it won't be beyond our reach.

And as long as the sea communication is cut off, we can unite with the Immortal Yin Sect and blockade the Xuanzhen Sect from the land. That Spirit Yin Sect has coveted the west of the Fertile Earth Continent for a long time!"

The instructor listened and nodded affirmatively. "That's a good idea. Guanyunzi, you go to the country of Langya and win the country of Langya. What are the conditions...... We can accept the incarnation period of the country of Langya as our guest secretary, and allow them to consult all the information of the outer gate.

This is the maximum condition, and the specific negotiation is in your own hands. If you can't complete the task this time, you'll be facing the wall for fifty years!"

"Yes!" Guanyun Dao shouted in response, quickly turning to leave. There was anger burning in his eyes. Thinking about this negotiation, he was actually tricked by Zhang Hao's junior.

Knowing that Zhang Hao's last words were the direct cause of the death of Dingshan Daoist, he couldn't use this to question the Xuanzhen Sect. What Zhang Hao said was too vague, so vague that he couldn't grasp any useful information at all.

There are some words that are addressed to the 'heart', and after listening to them, the mind is confused, but it is difficult for you to present them on paper and use them as evidence.

But it doesn't matter, the world of cultivation is a typical world of the jungle. You're perfect, and so can we.

In the past, we always had some scruples about each other, and left the country of Langya without wooing; this time, we want to completely win over the country of Langya, and completely cut off the sea communication between your Xuanzhen Sect and even the west of the Fertile Land Continent!

Just like the nautical chart that Liu Xinyu saw, only the eastern and southern parts of the Fertile Earth Continent had navigation routes, while the Xuanzhen Sect was located only in the southern navigation routes. In the past, there was only one port in the country of Langya and the country of Canglan. And the country of Langya has always been left and right.

Now, the country of Langya has captured the only port of the country of Canglan. In this way, the country of Langya has become the only foreign port on the sea of Xuanzhenjiao.

As long as the country of Langya is brought over, it can completely block the foreign exchanges between the Xuanzhen Sect and the entire Fertile Earth Continent in the west and northwest.

In the past, although everyone fought openly and secretly, at least on the surface they maintained a little peace. But this time, the Loose faction is not ready to stay. And for the country of Langya, which has been wavering, it is no longer polite.

After the Guanyun Daoist arrived in the country of Langya, he only said two words and succeeded: now the Xuanzhen Sect and the Xiaoyao Sect have torn their faces, and the country of Langya is closer to the Xiaoyao Sect.

The country of Langya did not hesitate for long, and immediately agreed to completely join the side of the Xiaoyao faction, and began to cut off the trade routes to the north, completely cutting off the foreign exchanges between the west and northwest of the Fertile Earth Continent.

............

What happened in the middle of the Fertile Earth Continent did not affect Zhang Hao for the time being.

At this time, Zhang Hao had already taken Chen Yansong and Bai Ye to the direction of Zhang's house.

Along the way, you can already see the joy of a good harvest, and occasionally you can see the less industrious people planting winter wheat, or some other grains, and even medicinal herbs.

There is also spiritual rice, 'spiritual rice' is a general statement, in fact, spiritual rice contains a lot of spiritual food crops. There are also many medicinal herbs that can be used as 'vegetables', which can be regarded as spiritual vegetables.

Of course, there are also some herbs that will be used for low-end applications such as medicinal baths. In the world of spiritual practice, the demand for medicinal herbs is very extensive. However, most of the things that people can cultivate are low-grade medicinal materials, and they can't even be alchemized.

But that doesn't hide the joy of the populace. The new country gave them new hope. The nobles and families that once pressed on everyone's heads disappeared overnight, and even if they were still there, they all clamped their tails and behaved.

The land was released, the people regained their own land, and they were allowed to buy and sell grain freely, and the proportion of state taxes was clearly stated, and it was posted at the entrance of the village.

Zhang Hao didn't interfere in the matter of fighting local tyrants and dividing the land, but obviously Liu Xinyu did a good job. At present, it seems that everyone has land. The state also compensates grain seeds, which can be exchanged for the same quantity and quality of seeds in the coming year.

Chen Yansong looked at the appearance of the people in the country of Qixia, and suddenly sighed: "I haven't seen such a scene for a long time." When the people of Shaoze country courted and farmed, they all had to carry weapons, and the armor was placed on the ridges!"

Zhang Hao was surprised, how chaotic the country needs to be, so that the people can do this?

"Don't believe me?"

Zhang Hao shook his head slightly: "It's just a bit beyond imagination." ”

"Hey, there's so much more to the unthinkable. The first *night* power was all brought out by those crazy guys. When a girl reaches the age of sixteen, she needs to be 'identified' by the nobility and the family. Some bastards even lowered their age to 14 and killed the girl's parents if they 'couldn't pass the test.'"

Now, in some places, as long as a little girl is born, she will be strangled to death on the spot. ”

Zhang Hao's heart was suddenly shocked, and he was speechless for a while. I have been in this world for so long, from Jichun to Mid-autumn, although I also know that this is a cultivation world where the law of the jungle eats the strong, but as far as Zhang Hao can see, there is always a layer of morality in society.

A practitioner's mind is generally not without a bottom line. At least as far as Zhang Hao has seen, those particularly morally corrupt cases have not yet been seen.

But after listening to Chen Yansong's words, Zhang Hao suddenly realized: This world ...... There are still its cold corners.

Zhang Hao didn't know what kind of mood the parents who strangled their daughters were. But come to think of it, it's a desperate struggle. Perhaps for parents, this is not cruelty, but a kind of 'cruel kindness'.

The world is too dark to bear to suffer in the future. It's better to leave when you don't know anything. If there is an afterlife, I hope to be born in a sunny world.

But gradually, there is a kind of pride rising in Zhang Hao's heart. The world is so dangerous, and since this is the case, I have to work harder. Let the Zhang family avoid bad luck, let the country of Qixia rise, and then try to guide the future direction for the world.

I didn't say anything all the way until I arrived at Zhang's house and came to the beach.

Far away, Zhang Hao pointed to the bow of the steel giant ship on the sea, "That's Dugu Junjie!"

At this time, the giant ship Zhiyuan, or should be called a 'battleship', had already begun sea trials. Dugu Junjie and the others no longer use small boats and wooden boats for training, but have transferred to the Zhiyuan.

At this time, the Zhiyuan had just left the port and accelerated towards the depths of the sea. On the sea, there are still many spectators - sea monsters.

During this period of time, there was a sense of peaceful coexistence between the Zhang family and the ocean. The Zhang family is just sailing, not fishing and hunting, and the sea monsters can't gnaw on the steel giant, so the two sides have formed a balance.

Chen Yansong looked at Dugu Junjie from afar, and his sharp eyes in the transformation period allowed him to see Dugu Junjie's face clearly from afar. He smiled faintly: "When I grow up, I am almost carved out of the same mold as the general." ”

"I'll call him. Zhang Hao said.

"Don't!" Chen Yansong shook his head, "I'll take a look first." ”

As he spoke, Chen Yansong waved his hand and raised a floating cloud, holding Zhang Hao and Bai Ye to fly high into the sky, looking down at the sea.

The sea is endless, and the waves roll slightly. The sea seems exceptionally quiet at noon. But on this tranquil sea, a steel battleship is speeding up for the afternoon's voyage.

Dugu Junjie on the sea commanded excitedly, the battleship continued to accelerate, opening a piece of low waves, the ripples in front of him, wave after wave spread out for thousands of meters, behind the battleship, there was a white waterway, that was the tumbling splash.

The steel warships in the early stage of industrialization have hard lines and are full of barbarism and domineering in the early stage of industry.

"This ship...... It's not a wooden boat!" Chen Yansong was surprised.

Zhang Hao smiled faintly: "It's completely made of steel." This is steel. ”

Zhang Hao took out a shield and made it of steel. Chen Yansong took it and looked at it, surprised. "What a hard spiritual material. This is forged from dark iron?"

Zhang Hao nodded and pointed to the giant ship below: "The Zhiyuan, inscribed by the Xuanzhen Sect's Law Enforcement Hall Master Hong Zhenzi himself." The outfitted Zhiyuan is 112 meters long, 19 meters wide, with a standard draft of 7.6 meters and a standard displacement of 4,100 tons, and a maximum draft of 8.5 meters and a displacement of 5,250 tons. The hull weighs 2585 tons.

The impeller is used as the power, and the propeller is propulsed. The normal maximum speed is 62 km/h, and the overload speed can reach 71 km/h.

If the formation on the battleship is activated, especially after the water opening array is activated, the ship's sailing resistance will be reduced by 70%, and the speed can reach 110 kilometers per hour.

Now the Zhiyuan is a full-load test and weighs 4,100 tons. ”

"The speed is less than doubled if the resistance is reduced by 70%?"

Zhang Hao explained: "The greater the speed, the greater the resistance. And it's multiplied. ”

Chen Yansong nodded thoughtfully: "Yes, it's the same with ordinary flights." I just didn't think about it so much. What's the 'stick' on the edge of this Zhiyuan?"

"It's artillery!" Young Master Zhang Hao resisted the urge to twitch the corners of his mouth.

Looking down from above, you can see that a total of 26 guns are placed on the huge ship.

Three 300 mm guns in the bow and two 300 mm guns in the stern.

Then there were three 100-mm secondary guns in the bow. Two 100 mm secondary guns in the stern.

A quarter of the deck in front of the battleship, occupied by artillery.

There were 8 100-mm guns on each side of the left and right sides.

Seeing such an artillery layout, Zhang Hao's heart was a little sweaty - since discovering the power of artillery, Huang Mingshan and other researchers of the Zhang family have become obsessed with multi-turret tactics.

One word: cool!

Now everyone has moved this technique to the battleship.

The battleship accelerated straight for about twenty minutes, almost 25 kilometers, and then suddenly turned around and turned to the right. The 4,100-ton behemoth turned very heavy, and the surrounding sea water was overturned layer after layer, and the tumbling waves spread out.

At the same time as the battleship turned, the guns on the deck began to turn around, and the next moment, the guns on the inside of the turn, that is, on the right, all opened fire, and they fired horizontally.

There are 18 guns, including six guns in the bow, eight guns on the right, and four guns in the stern.

But seeing the flames rushing out of the barrel, the hull of the ship, which was turning and was already a little tilted, suddenly tilted to the left, the giant ship moved sideways by as much as one meter, and the left side of the hull stirred up waves more than ten meters high.

Eighteen shells rushed out in an instant, and Zhang Hao couldn't see clearly. But Bai Ye and Chen Yansong could see the shells, and they could see a row of small black dots rushing out in an instant, smashing into the sea water three or four kilometers away like lightning.

This time it was a flat fire, and because of the recoil problem on the ship, the range of the guns was already close. Three or four kilometers is already pretty good.

18 shells rushed into the sea without exploding. The exercises were made of black iron shells filled with sand.

However, after the cannonball entered the water, many sea monsters came to snatch it. For the sea monsters, it is not too big or too small. There are very few metals in the ocean. Even if there is, it is not something that low-level sea monsters can get.

After one salvo, the battleship quickly made a second salvo. The huge ship swayed at sea, and in the process of fierce right turns, it also opened fire to the right, allowing the left side of the giant ship to approach the surface of the sea for a time. But soon the giant ship corrected itself.

The new warship may not be called 'perfectly designed', but at least it deserves the word 'well-designed'. Compared to traditional wooden ships, the new warships are superior in all directions. Whether it is from the design concept, construction technology and materials, or even the means of attack.

Even because the ship itself is made of steel, the formations attached to it are even more powerful.

The battleship was tested and trained on the sea until the evening, and then slowly sailed into port.

Dugu Junjie jumped off the battleship excitedly, while Chen Yansong slowly came to Dugu Junjie.

"Are you...... Uncle Chen?" Dugu Junjie blinked, a little incredulous.
