Chapter 1124: Qin Changfeng's New Mission

~11 min read 2,042 words

The vigorous writing reform.

It would unfold in Longyan in seven days' time.

Of course, Liu Zheng was not that extreme. He allowed two types of writing to coexist in Longyan: Traditional Chinese would be used to continue the concrete characters of Longyan, while Simplified Chinese would be used to develop the symbolization of writing.

This decision was issued by the Hanlin Academy.

The entire country was in an uproar once again.

Throughout history, no one had ever dared to reform the writing! And it was even stipulated in writing like this!

Longyan was a country that revered its ancestors.

Cangjie created the characters, and the Master compiled the books.

As long as they were scholars, they held absolute respect for these two. Heaven, Earth, Sovereign, Kin, and Teacher—they were the teachers, and since the things they created had been passed down, what right did later generations have to change them?

No one knew who had leaked it.

Liu Zheng was the mastermind behind this writing reform!

Suddenly, the curses grew even louder.

A thief who usurped the country!

A butcher of culture!

This time, it was not just in Jinghua; the majority of scholars across all of Longyan jumped out, believing that the promotion of Simplified Chinese was the castration of Longyan's traditional culture! These people were the mainstream, though Liu Zheng understood that this talk of "castrating traditional culture" was merely these social elites fearing that the promotion of Simplified Chinese would give those "lowly people" a chance to study, thereby affecting their status in this society!

However.

The writing reform was already imperative.

On one hand, there was Liu Zheng's assertiveness; on the other, there was the persistence of the Hanlin Academy.

Consequently.

A grand and mighty writing reform campaign began to be pushed forward from the top down.

The pessimistic mood of the entire nation surged once again.

Why did this Vice Minister Liu, before he came to power, act completely like a Contemporary Sage... but after he truly grasped power, he changed completely! He started tossing and turning again, started making a mess of things again!

Everyone's heart was filled with despair.

Xie Ming, however, was very excited.

The worse Liu Zheng's reputation became, the better it was for him!

In seven more days, the enthronement would take place...

Xie Ming had made full preparations!

He would strike at Liu Zheng right at the enthronement ceremony!

Nowadays, the national sentiment was already like this, and there were countless people who wanted Liu Zheng's life. This was exactly a point he could exploit!

Dong Shuyu, Xie Ming's mother, had already secretly gathered a group of death-sworn warriors in Jinghua!

These people were all lying in ambush within the imperial court under their own secret identities!

They could be used!

The morale was usable!

This matter could be accomplished!

Kuye Island.

Niu Chaofeng had finally waited for reinforcements this time.

When he collapsed to the ground after completely exhausting all his strength, he heard the cheers of the entire army.

It was done...

It was a success!

He had held it!

He had held Kuye Island!

He wanted very much to jump up and cheer along with his brothers and the heroic, unrestrained warriors from the pugilistic world who had come to reinforce them at the very end, but he no longer had the strength.

Vice Minister Liu...

I did it!

I, Niu Chaofeng, did not fail your expectations!

Xiao Qian's army began to take over Kuye Island one after another.

When he saw the mess all over Kuye Island and the rivers of blood, even this famous general, who had fought the Qiang for decades and never once flinched, was quite moved at this moment. At a glance, the ground was covered in pits and craters, and everywhere were the corpses and remains of Tsarist Russia and the Longyan people...

It was now the height of summer, and a thick, pungent stench of corpses rushed into his nose.

Tragic!

The scene was undoubtedly tragic!

Horrifying!

Xiao Qian looked back at Niu Chaofeng, who had already fallen into a coma, his heart filled with incomparable shock.

Such a person... how did he hold on?

How did he manage to defend it?

How did he do it!

What kind of magic did this Vice Minister Liu possess that could make someone who had never undergone any military training risk his life for him to such an extent!

"Set up defenses!"

Xiao Qian could not help but choke up as he shouted the order.

Set up the defenses!

The Qingzhou army he brought began to truly set up defenses here.

Just as he arrived at Kuye Island, news also came from Youzhou. Xie Ping had already been executed outside the city of Youzhou by his own younger brother and the army of the Noble. Xie Ping's younger brother, Xie Chao, even offered all sorts of apologies. As for the imperial court, they naturally forgave Youzhou; after all, even if you break a leg, it is still your own child...

The Prince of Zhao is dead, and Xie Ping is also dead; it is better for this matter to just end here.

The imperial court enfeoffed Xie Chao as the next Prince of Zhao.

In the short term, it is impossible for Youzhou to stir up any more trouble.

This allows Xiao Qian's army to guard Kuye Island with peace of mind.

Of course.

The reason Kuye Island could be held was because of problems within the Tsarist Russia navy. First, there were the various chaotic maneuvers by Andongliefu, followed by the changing of commanders right before the battle. This gave Kuye Island a chance to catch its breath.

Only then did those heroes and wild scholars hold on desperately until the arrival of the main reinforcements!

It was held.

Xiao Qian took a deep breath.

If even a Niu Chaofeng could hold it, how could he not?

There is a high probability that there will be no problems with Kuye Island.

"Damn Britain, is that it?"

"Huh? Just that?"

"They aren't coming anymore?"

Qin Zhangfeng has not appeared for a long time. He is now absolutely furious! Although the Australia before his eyes is incomparably rich, with all kinds of resources, all kinds of gold, all kinds of crops, and all kinds of animals, making people start to wonder if this is a Heaven gifted by the Heavens. But... Qin Zhangfeng is not happy!

Looking at Longyan at this time, everywhere is a battle raging like a fire!

Only he...

Did not make it to anywhere!

Just kidding, he is the Great General of Liangzhou! A proper Pingxi General enfeoffed by the imperial court!

He originally wanted to come here to fight Britain, but Britain's Endeavour was gone after a single encounter...

During this journey back and forth, that Zou Sheng and that Xiao Qian have already fought so many enemies!

Only he, after arriving in Australia, has "stood guard" for nearly half a month and hasn't seen a single enemy!

"General Qin..."

"General..."

Xie Fang and Su Qi also looked at each other, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

The development of Australia is going very smoothly.

Xie Fang no longer has any thoughts of going back to fight for the throne; what is the point? Look at this Australia! What is shocking is that the territory here seems to be no smaller than Longyan! It is full of potential! And just as Liu Zheng said, the geographical location here is almost the center of the world again; Xie Fang has already immigrated many people from Java Island here.

The construction, raging like a fire, has already begun.

What Australia has brought him is undoubtedly true ambition!

Liu Zheng has already indicated that to show his gratitude, the development of Australia will be mainly led by Xie Fang, while the Liangzhou side only wants shares!

Xie Fang felt the trust and respect Liu Zheng had for him.

Nowadays, they have almost finished exploring all areas of Australia, and although they brought many people, it is still vast and sparsely populated here. This is like a beautiful blank sheet of paper, placed

before Xie Fang's eyes, for him to sketch upon as he pleases!

Who would still care about that extremely complex melting pot of Longyan?

And he also knows...

In many aspects, he is not as good as Liu Zheng.

Therefore, Longyan is left to Liu Zheng, and Australia is handed to him.

He believes this is the best choice.

"I'm so angry, I'm so angry!"

Qin Zhangfeng is still furious because he has no battles to fight.

It is too miserable!

Now, Zou Sheng's reputation already has a feeling of faintly surpassing his own. For a dignified Great General like himself to be caught up by a junior, if this were to get out, he would certainly lose face...

"Alright, alright, Qin Dage, let's rest for a period of time. Isn't it good for us to wander around this Australia more?"

Pei Yanran smiled sweetly at the side.

Sure enough, there is only one person who can keep Qin Zhangfeng in check. Hearing this, he smiled foolishly: "Yanran is right, Yanran is right!"

Just as Xie Fang and Su Qi were suppressing their laughter, a Scout suddenly ran in from outside.

"General Qin, a letter from Longyan!"

"A letter from Longyan!"

Qin Zhangfeng threw the wine cup in his hand and stood up excitedly: "Did the Young Master send me a mission?"

Previously, Liu Zheng had asked him to come to reinforce the Australian battlefield, but he did not expect Britain to be gone after a single encounter, so he could only remain stationed here, waiting for Liu Zheng's orders.

Now that there is finally a letter, how could he not be happy?

Quickly tearing open the letter, Qin Zhangfeng trembled all over, and a sharp light emerged in his eyes: "The Xiansheng has actually come out of seclusion!"

"What?"

"Xiansheng?"

Su Qi was also full of shock.

Xie Fang was also full of disbelief, and said with pleasant surprise: "Could it be Qingyang Xiansheng of Yintan City?"

Qin Zhangfeng laughed heartily: "It is indeed him, sir! It seems the young master still harbors concern for the Crown Prince!"

Xie Fang was also very happy.

Although he enjoyed sketching out all of this himself, only after he truly became the master of Australia did he realize it was too exhausting, truly too exhausting. He could not even imagine how Vice Minister Liu managed to govern Longyan every day while attending to every detail, no matter how small. He worried so much every day that he could not even accompany his wife and children.

As for the great name of Qing Yangshuo, who in Longyan does not know it, who is not aware of it?

If he could come to Australia, even if it were just to offer a bit of guidance to Xie Fang, it would allow him to benefit immensely.

"That's wonderful!"

"If the sir can come, there is much that can be accomplished in Australia!"

Su Qi also knew of Qing Yangshuo; he was originally the Commander of the Liangzhou Navy and frequently dealt with the Yintan City side, so his admiration for Qing Yangshuo naturally exceeded that of others.

"And there is more..."

Qin Zhangfeng paused for a moment, then continued reading.

"America?"

To them, this was another novel term.

America?

Is it another New World?

In the letter, Liu Zheng had already made arrangements: once Qing Yangshuo arrives, Qin Zhangfeng will have a new mission, which is to lead a special mobile unit to go to America and stir up trouble, cutting off Britain's financial path from behind!

"Do you know where America is?"

Upon hearing there was trouble to stir up, Qin Zhangfeng became exceptionally excited.

However, the few people present all shook their heads one after another, indicating they had no impression of it.

Qin Zhangfeng smiled faintly: "The young master says that over there, there is a person called George Hua, and he wants me to go help him?"

"Ah?"

"A Longyan person?"

"Help him do what?"

"Rebel!" Pop-ups have been severe lately; you can click to download to avoid pop-ups.
