Build the Traveler Alliance from Scratch.

Chapter 223 Fixed Portal
"Ha ha!"

Zuo Yu laughed out loud when he heard this.

Daenerys also smiled, shook her head, and said disdainfully, "Cheap loyalty."

Zuo Yu smiled and shook his head: "The vassal kings of the Ming Dynasty are all virtuous, just kill them, there is no need to keep them."

Zhao Lihe said with a smile: "Of course I know that. The reason why I stayed with King Qin is to let the outside world see that I treat the Ming royal family well, and let them understand that I am different from those rogues, so as to eliminate their resistance... ..."

"Why bother?" Daenerys wondered, "You already have the military power of the United States during World War II, why bother to care about their feelings, just force yourself to push them flat!"

Zhao Lihe chuckled lightly: "Little Danni, my brother will teach you a word, that one who wins every battle is not the one who is kind; the one who defeats others without fighting is the one who is kind..."

Zuo Yu smiled and said: "Don't teach me, your strategy doesn't apply to Dani, you care about the enemy's army and the lives of the people under your control, and you think they will be your own sooner or later, so you don't want to kill, but she Don’t care about the lives of those notorious mercenary groups and noble soldiers, whether it’s the slave city-states of Essos or the marauding Dothraki warriors, they all need to rely on violence rather than benevolent governance.”

"That's right!"

Daenerys nodded quickly in agreement.

Zhao Lihe smiled helplessly, what Zuo Yu said was indeed right, in the world of Quanyou, kindness is not worth mentioning, only money and the army are king.

But in the world of Ming Dynasty, Zhao Lihe still wanted to preserve the population of the descendants of Yan and Huang as much as possible. A healthy young man needs to consume tons of food and take 18 years to grow up, but to kill him, it only takes A cheap bullet.

If the tens of millions of people who should have died in the troubled times of the late Ming Dynasty can be kept alive by strategy, even if it is delayed for several years, it will be profitable for Zhao Lihe.

"Don't worry, when the new dynasty is established, I will deal with these princes and nobles of the old dynasty in accordance with the law, kill those who deserve to be killed, and those who deserve to be imprisoned, and use the lives of these people to give an explanation to the people who have suffered from troubled times... ..."

Zhao Lihe walked out of Qin Palace with Zuo Yu and Daenerys while talking lightly.

On the way to the garrison in the city, young officials could be seen passing by the three of them from time to time.

They wore remade official uniforms similar to Chinese tunic suits, with youthful faces, full of vigor, and a restrained arrogance all over their bodies. When they saw Zhao Lihe and others, they just bowed their hands respectfully, called the family's lord, and then left in a hurry.

Zhao Lihe responded with a smile, watching their backs leave.

Zuo Yu had a strange expression: "My lord?"

Zhao Lihe glanced at him and said: "Except for the capital, the whole north is under my rule now, even most of the officials of the Ming Dynasty in the capital have secretly surrendered to me, only Chongzhen is still sticking to it, He made me the magistrate of Xi'an, but he named my general as the chief envoy, and wanted to use this to drive a wedge between me and the general under his command, I thought it was interesting, so I accepted his award."

Zuo Yu asked with interest: "And then?"

Zhao Lihe said indifferently: "Old Liu, who was appointed as the chief political envoy, was terrified. That night, he brought the imperial decree to my house with his wife and daughter, and cut the imperial decree of Chongzhen in half in front of me. Then he pulled his wife and children to kneel in front of me, presented the sword with both hands, and said that if he was suspected of betrayal in the future, let me kill his whole family with this sword..."

"You accepted it?"

"Of course not." Zhao Lihe said angrily, "If I want to kill him, do I still need a sword?"

Daenerys listened with gusto, and then wondered: "Zhao, you have taken the whole north, why don't you take the capital, is it interesting to keep a former king in the territory?"

"It's really interesting."

Zhao Lihe nodded first, and then said with a smile: "However, I didn't keep him for humiliation and fun, but for other reasons. If I really killed Chongzhen, those corrupt scholars in Jiangnan would immediately embrace him." Let the other Zhu clan ascend the throne, and when the time comes, some people will still use the name of the Zhu clan to disgust me, instead of dealing with those bugs that come out of nowhere, it is better to leave Chongzhen first."

"It just so happens that he has some grievances with me, and I just want him to watch the Ming Dynasty collapse in his hands..."

Speaking of this, Zhao Lihe narrowed his eyes slightly, and for the first time in his eyes showed the cold and cruel feeling that belonged to the emperor.

Seeing his eyes, Zuo Yu felt very relieved, and Daenerys finally saw the familiar appearance of the emperor.

"My lord!"

Another young official bowed his hands towards the three of them, then turned and left in a hurry.

Daenerys frowned, looked at his back and said with some dissatisfaction: "Zhao, why do I feel that these people don't seem to respect you very much, do you need me to teach them a lesson for you?"

"Don't!" Zhao Lihe hurriedly stopped, and said angrily, "It took me a lot of effort to cultivate their arrogance, don't let me break it, and it's not that they don't respect me, It's just that in this Prince Qin's mansion, they are not themselves, but officials representing the country, and after leaving this Prince Qin's mansion, you can see their reverence for me..."

Zhao Lihe spoke with great confidence, which made Daenerys feel envious inexplicably.

"It seems that I really need to learn how to govern the country from you!"

"You've learned something, little Dany!"

Zhao Lihe rubbed her head with a smile, then turned around, laughed and left with his hands behind his back.

Soon, the three came to the military camp stationed in the city, where Zhao Lihe's most trusted [-] personal guards were stationed.

Most of the soldiers in the army were members of the Tongmenghui who initially followed Zhao Lihe. Among them were the children of the Qi family army and the folks from Hanzhong Mansion. These people were loyal to Zhao Lihe and had no second thoughts.

In order to repay their loyalty, Zhao Lihe also gave them the best equipment and treatment.

The barracks not only has the most cutting-edge modern firepower configuration, but also the steel soldiers and steel puppets he bought.

At the rear of the barracks, there is also a martial arts pavilion, which stores the secrets of exercises that Zhao Lihe obtained from the official under one person. the right to practice.

Even if they don't have the talent to practice qi, they can still be strengthened through the four strengthening machines installed in the barracks.

There are [-] gray fog coins stored in each gray fog strengthening machine, adding up to a total of [-] gray fog coins, which is quite a large expenditure.

Speaking of this, I have to mention that due to the reason of phase, the traverser can absorb nearly 1 gray mist coins per day at the beginning, while ordinary people can only absorb 5-0.2 wisps of gray mist per day, converted into gray mist coins, that is, 1-[-] gray fog coins.

Every several days of continuous absorption, but also a period of rest.

This leads to the extremely low efficiency of gray mist strengthening for ordinary people, which is far inferior to practicing exercises or relying on technology.

More than 700 people have used the four fog enhancement machines that Zhao Lihe placed in the barracks. Among them, only 39 people who have the highest talent and can absorb one fog coin per day are still insisting on strengthening.

Most of the rest have given up and tried to practice qigong or rely on technology.

But practicing Qi Gong also requires talent, which has led to a considerable part of the three thousand personal guards being relatively powerful ordinary people, and there are only 184 people who can truly master inhuman power.

"I've read the manga under one person. I'm very interested in the self-cultivation furnace that can turn ordinary people into extraordinary people. When you meet Ma Xianhong and get that thing, you can sell it to me. I will give it to you." A satisfactory price for you."

Zhao Lihe patted Zuo Yu's shoulder and said.

Daenerys quickly said: "That's not okay, I want this thing too, let's compete fairly!"

Zuo Yu said with a smile: "Don't worry, if you want to sell it, you must first sell it to the alliance. After Xu Kong and Boss Lin finish their research, you can buy an improved version from the alliance that is more expensive and better. That's all right!"

"Too……"

Daenerys nodded and stopped fighting with Zhao Lihe.

Beside the three of them, the heroic young man in white shirt listened silently, with a thoughtful look in his eyes.

Zhao Lihe turned his head and said with a smile: "Lao Pan, lead the way!"

"Yes, my lord!"

Pan Yunpeng smiled and cupped his hands, then walked ahead to lead the way for the three of them.

He is the leader of the [-] personal guards, and also the top leader of Zhao Lihe's secret spy organization and intelligence network.

As a member of the Tongmenghui who is not a child of the Qi family army, to be able to sit in this position, apart from his loyalty to Zhao Lihe and the Tongmenghui, the most important thing is his own character and ability.

Because of this, Zhao Lihe decided to let him be in charge of cross-border transactions, and gave him the management of the first fixed portal.

Soon, Pan Yunpeng stopped, turned sideways, and said softly: "My lord, this is the place."

Everyone looked up and saw a metal platform with a length and width of 30 meters and a height of about two meters in front of them.

The entire high platform is made of alloy, engraved with the seal of the void and magic spells. It is durable, uncorroded by wind and rain, and does not require maintenance. It will remain unchanged for tens of thousands of years.

The front of the high platform is nine steps, and the other three sides are gentle ramps, which can be used by vehicles.

Zhao Lihe took a step forward and stepped on the nine steps in front.

Zuo Yu and Daenerys stood in place, surrounded by Pan Yunpeng and the [-] troops he was carrying.

And these people will become the first batch of members and armed forces of the new department that Zhao Lihe will establish next.

Under the eyes of everyone, Zhao Lihe stepped onto the high platform, took out a cup of gray fog coins, and activated it.

"Void, open the fixed portal!"

As the soft words fell, a silver light flashed in front of Zhao Lihe's eyes.

A spatial crack glowing with silver light appeared out of thin air, and then expanded rapidly in four directions: up, down, left, and right. In an instant, the crack turned into a giant portal with a width of about ten meters and a height of about 20 meters.
