The crossing starts from the Datang Shuanglong

Chapter 161 Pearl Cliff
"Snapped!"

Since Chu Tianxiu said so, it cannot be empty words, and Mei Xun is completely dead.But even though he died, his body still stood in place, maintaining the posture of stabbing with a gun, like a hard statue.

It wasn't until a soldier who came to "clean up" came over and touched his body with his hands, that the corpse fell to the ground and collapsed directly on the ground, so that the golden gun in his hand fell heavily to the ground. Roll aside.

"What the hell?"

The soldier was taken aback immediately, and couldn't help but retreated three steps before he boldly walked up to Mei Xun's body, and stretched out his hand to grab it.

It didn't matter if he pulled it, he immediately felt that his body was so soft, and after reaching out to touch it again, a large stream of blood came out from Mei Xun's seven orifices, scattered all over the ground, and then his body seemed to be released. Like an inflated balloon, it quickly dried up.

After the soldier had the courage to take the body away, he found that the corpse was not only extremely light, weighing only fifty or sixty kilograms in total, but also extremely soft, as if the flesh and bones in his body had been broken into pieces. Like scum.

One knife, the Yangtze River!
This type of saber technique seems to have only one slash, but it contains thousands of "reverse wave" saber strengths with different strengths. Therefore, after being subjected to this move, he looks fine on the outside, but it seems that he has suffered countless times. Raging river tidal force washes away, all the muscles and internal organs of the internal force are washed into blood, and the bones all over the body are also broken every inch, shattering into a pile of bone scum in the body.

……

Zhuya County, set up in the Western Han Dynasty, Xuanfei.The Three Kingdoms are set up, and they are abolished.In the Sui Dynasty, the prefecture was established as Yilun County, and one government governed the five counties of Yilun, Thanksgiving, Yanlu, Pishan, and Ji'an.

Except for the three prefectures of Bijing, Haiyin, and Linyi that were nominally managed by the Sui Dynasty but never really controlled, Zhuya County is almost the southernmost territory of the Central Plains, so the Sui Dynasty actually had a lot of influence on it. It is weak, it can only control the land in the outer circle of the coast, and it goes a little deeper into the interior of the island, all of which are controlled by the local Li people.

Therefore, the local indigenous forces are deeply rooted and do not accept Wang Hua at all, so that the Sui court and the county guard here are almost a decoration.

Overall, this is a barren land where the sky is high and the emperor is far away.

With such an innate advantage, the Nanhai faction, the local local snake, has almost completely controlled the land of this county, so that Mei Xun said a word here before, which is more effective than Yang Guang's imperial edict. With a groan, the entire Zhuya County trembled three times.

Perhaps it was because it was too remote here, and it was really something to look down on, so after this expedition to the South China Sea faction, the Song Clan only annexed and digested all the strongholds and sites of the South China Sea faction in the coastal areas of the Central Plains, and took over all of the island's territory. Hand it over to Shen Luoyan.

This made Shen Luoyan lead the Qianmen League's men to capture the Nanhai faction, and almost directly controlled the county, making it completely the territory of the Qianmen League.

What's a little dramatic is that after Shen Luoyan, the elder of the Qianmen League, took over the land, he received an urgent letter from Wagang Village, so that she had no choice but to intervene here. Quickly withdrawing away, almost formed a power vacuum here.

Fortunately, after Chu Tianxiu left, Xu Xingzhi, who was in charge of the overall situation, heard about this, and quickly transferred Xingrong to let him take charge of the overall situation. Everything dissatisfied was sloppy.

"That's right, you've done a good job! If you hadn't transported it properly, not only half of the rice I transported last time would have been wasted, but even the spices transported this time would have been wasted a lot."

After Chu Tianxiu had a detailed understanding of the situation here, he found that this island had completely become his own territory, so he naturally moored the ship here with peace of mind, and said to Xing Rong with relief.

"It's all well-educated as a military adviser! Otherwise, with my previous ability, I wouldn't be able to handle so many major events well, and I'm afraid I would have made a big mess."

Since following Xu Xingzhi to learn how to deal with government affairs, Xing Rong is no longer as active as before, but has become much calmer.

After Chu Tianxiu asked a few words and got a preliminary understanding of the situation with him, he found that he did a good job, and that all the big and small things on the island were done in an orderly manner, so he couldn't help but said happily:
"Okay, Rong boy, I haven't realized before that you have the talent of a prime minister! Well, I will hand over the power of life and death in this county to you in the future. You have to help me take care of me. here."

Chu Tianxiu never imagined that a piece of idle chess that he had laid at random back then would reap rich fruits in this way.

That's right, compared to the Central Plains, this place is indeed too wild and remote. I am afraid that [-]% of the Central Plains counselors will sneer at this place, thinking that this place is a despicable and useless place.

In fact, to the original Chu Tianxiu, this piece of land was indeed a tasteless piece of land. Otherwise, even if he couldn't escape himself, he would arrange other capable people to take this piece of land.

But by coincidence, during Chu Tianxiu's trip to the south, he not only conquered the Linyi Kingdom and forced him to do business with him, but also occupied a large area of ​​the Java Kingdom, which instantly increased the value of the land. A hundred times, it directly became the throat of his blueprint for future maritime power.

He has mastered Zhuya County, which means that when he goes south to the sea for business in the future, he can repair and transfer through here, saving half of the time and energy, and avoiding the general danger.

The more critical point is that Chu Tianxiu has a foothold here. Not only can he move south more easily, he can better grasp the lifeline of Linyi Kingdom, and after starting from here, he can go directly to Luzon Island, which is adjacent to Yizhou, can better develop and control that wild land.

In addition to the value in terms of transportation and strategy, Chu Tianxiu valued an important property here——

iron!
Even though the Dongming faction of Ryukyu can collect iron materials from the Dongying Kingdom, build them intensively on that island, and then transport them to the Central Plains, but such a complicated process shows that its efficiency is low, and there is no way to do it on a large scale. To meet the supply of weapons needed by Chu Tianxiu's army in the future.

Originally, Chu Tianxiu had the locations of several iron mines in his head, but what he knew was only the specific locations of PZH and Ma'anshan's famous but elusive large iron mines.

However, after he cultivated into a demon seed and could read the memories of his previous life to his heart's content, he accidentally obtained an important piece of information from a Ming Chuan novel he had read in his previous life.

Through that novel, Chu Tianxiu learned that on the land of Zhuya County, there is a very rare, even arguably the only large-scale rich iron mine in the Central Plains—the Shilu Iron Mine.

This iron mine not only has a very high iron content, with a reserve of tens of millions of tons, but what is commendable is that the Shilu Iron Mine is almost open-pit, and can be mined by stripping off the topsoil, without the need for a costly tunnel system.

In addition, the novel also mentioned that there seems to be a Guangning Hongji coal mine in the land west of Beibu Gulf, not far from Zhuya County. This coal mine was later controlled by the Jiaozhi Kingdom, but now But it belongs to the Jiaozhi County of the Sui Dynasty, which happens to be the sphere of influence of the Song Clan.

There are both coal mines and iron mines here, and Chu Tianxiu is not short of wealth, and secondly, he has blacksmiths supported by the Dongming faction. If he does not smelt steel here, make guns and run away, he himself will be sorry for himself.
