Chapter 1785 Ocean Domination

When Lu Wenyou started his cultivation career in Chaoge City, Su Heng was already standing in the vast sea between the two empires of Da Shang and Da Tang.

His location is the largest island country in the ocean, the territory of Qi.

Qi State was also established by Chinese Medieval Seeds. The initial origin of the population was still the people on the seaside who could not survive in the two great empires of the Shang and Tang Dynasties. After suffering from various unbearable burdens in life, they set sail to sea for new hope. Generations of people, thousands of years of history, and finally formed one country after another.

The current Qi Kingdom was created by a hero who overthrew the Ying Kingdom, which was originally built here decades ago.

The most important territory of Qi State is Penglai Island.

Penglai Island is also the largest island in the entire Tianyu Star, covering an area of ​​nearly 2 million square kilometers. Although it is smaller than the Earth in the Wuling era, Greenland, the largest island, which is already comparable to more than a dozen Shandong Provinces.

It is comparable to the sum of the total territory of five or six island countries.

Such a large island is still located at the junction of tropical and temperate zones. There are vast plains on the island. A Tamsui River rushes down from several magnificent mountains to the west of Penglai, creating a large area of ​​fertile soil along the river basin.

It can be said that if any Chinese blood remains that cannot survive in the Da Shang and the Tang dynasties can truly reach this huge island, their new life will basically be good.

The huge Penglai Island lives in a population of more than 7 million at this moment, and it is definitely a vast land and sparsely populated one.

Just think about it and you will know that the territory of more than ten Shandong Province combined is mostly fertile plains with only more than seven million people...

Here, as long as the powerful and powerful gentry in Qi State were not bullied, the lives of civilians were basically much better than those of the people of the Shang and Tang dynasties.

The State of Qi still has the supreme rule of the king. The King of Qi has imposed great power. However, as Lu Wenyou once said, the royal power here encourages domestic gentry, officials, and even capital upstarts to form political parties and govern according to the party situation.

Su Heng briefly gave a brief overview of the world of Qi and found that this was a very dynamic and vigorous dynasty.

Even because of its small size, unique advantages in occupying land, and convenient trade... Qi State showed a trend of swallowing the world.

With a population of more than 7 million, there are 200,000 soldiers and horses loyal to the Qi King's Division, 50,000 troops are all elite, and 30,000 equipped with flintlock guns and clamp guns, and they are not inferior equipment. Each musket here has a number on the body. You can use the number to easily find the craftsman who supervises this gun.

If an accident occurs such as an explosion, you can directly punish the craftsman who forged it.

The other 20,000 troops were elite cavalry, five thousand armored heavy cavalry, five thousand light cavalry, and the last ten thousand troops were spearmen, swords and shields.

In addition, 150,000 navy!

150,000 navy, hundreds of battleships, yes, they are sail battleships. Each one that can be called a battleship has a displacement of more than one thousand tons, and each one is equipped with dozens or hundreds of bronze cannons. The military configuration is a battleship with hundreds or thousands of people.

Such a Qi State is almost the world's top standard for the world's top powers when it comes to naval combat capabilities.

Compared with the Earth's Invincible Age, the military configurations of the sea coachman in the 17th and 18th century and other countries such as the sun sets, are not much worse, or even stronger.

In terms of governing the country, several parties that put forward different slogans and programs took turns to rule and form a cabinet to assist the King of Qi. The military army had an army of 200,000, and only loyal to the King of Qi.

In addition to the fertile plains that can easily raise the 7 million people of Qi, relying on excellent maritime trade... Qi has made a lot of money in terms of money. After Su Heng learned about some of the situation, he couldn't help but sigh.

If he hadn't intervened and disturbed the original pattern of Tianyu Star, perhaps naturally developing, Qi might not have been able to go to sea to counterattack the empires on the two continents of Da Shang and Tang dynasties, and have a big show.

Just say that the land of Yangzhou in the Tang Dynasty was mostly rich, gentry and nobles, who raised some ships and sailors for their own selfish interests. They could even easily mobilize tens of thousands of "pirates" to besiege Xu Jimin and the guards' personal army photographed by Emperor Tang?

In addition, there are real pirates like Sanxian Island who gather tens of thousands of people?

Those forces combined are not enough to beat several battleships of Qi State to beat them.

With a huge naval force, the monarchs and ministers here really want to go to the Tang Dynasty to cause trouble... It is definitely not difficult, and it may be very difficult to deal with the Shang Dynasty. The Shang Emperor has always been very strong in the country. It is far less than the many messy things in the Tang Dynasty.

Thinking about the Tang Dynasty in the past, there were only 30,000 imperial guards in the hands of Emperor Tang, which was the most reliable. If the 150,000 navy in Qi was just engaged in the coastal areas, the situation in the Tang Dynasty would collapse.

It is the Yue Kingdom, which once made the Tang Dynasty frustrated. Talking about the army may be better than Qi Kingdom, and talking about the navy is not on the same level.

No, even talking about the army, 30,000 elite troops of the clamps and flintlocks could probably push the country of Yue.

More importantly, the entire country of Qi is in an upward period.

This country has only overthrown the previous generation of Yingguo. It has only been decades. The heroic lord who founded the Qi Dynasty has only been dead for more than 20 years. The successor, Jiang Hui, the new Qi king, is currently in her forties and is also a rare wise monarch.

Under Jiang Hui's rule, the people can live and work in peace, be prosperous and healthy, and all the soldiers are elite. Mainly in the ocean trade, the vast ocean, not only other islands will stumbling for you, but also the wealthy merchants and wealthy coastal areas of the Great Shang Dynasty, and they often disguise themselves as pirates and rob them...

Just talking about the member Wang of Yangzhou of the Tang Dynasty, he could seize some gold, silver, and gem mines from some small island countries. It is conceivable that if you do not have enough elite strength to protect Qi, no matter how rich Qi is, it will become a dish.

One of the biggest reasons for the last Yingguo Congress to destroy the country was that the last royal family of Yingguo not only had no military power, but was too soft. The Great Shang Dynasty and the Tang Dynasty could send fleets to enclose land, not only to encircle various fertile land and mine veins, but also to occupy countless commercial interests.

Those rich, merchants, gentry and nobles bullied the entire Qi country's local people and lost all their power and humiliated the country.

In the end, King Jiang Renmei of Qi came out of nowhere. With the original ordinary navy of Yingguo, she fought all the way, not only defeated all kinds of pirates at sea, but also private soldiers of the gentry and nobles of Shang and Tang dynasties, but also dominated the land battle for a lifetime.

It is not good to fight land, but the Penglai Island of Qi is too big. Whether it is infantry or cavalry corps, you can rush here, thousands of miles of fertile plains, and breed an island of creatures along a river. If the land battle is not good, even if the sea is defeated, the gentry and wealthy families in Shang Tang can easily mobilize a large army and become king on Penglai Island.

Jiang Renmei rose all the way, sweeping away all the decline, and creating the maritime hegemony of the Qi Dynasty.
