Chapter 1470: The Planning of the Third Longyan City
At night, Nashadier was not in the City Lord Mansion.
Instead, he was inside a castle built by an Egyptian Noble, on a bed inlaid with gilded gemstones.
Nashadier wore a loose, spacious robe made of wool and silk, while the woman resting in the crook of his arm was like soft, strengthless flesh.
Marina lay in Nashadier's embrace and said softly, "Master, you are truly formidable."
Nashadier's ferocity just now was no laughing matter.
If they were on the battlefield, the invading enemies would be slaughtered by him until they were routed.
Nashadier looked at the beauty in his arms by the dim light ignited at the bedside, the charm flowing between her brows, paired with the gold necklace she wore that shone brilliantly under the firelight.
Nashadier smiled lightly, and the madness of this woman just now resurfaced in his mind.
Nashadier continued.
The two did not sleep all night, and Marina wore a satisfied smile.
"Master, I have figured it out; from now on, I will follow you."
Nashadier let out a laugh; this Noble Princess had finally figured it out.
"To follow me, you must endure some burdens."
Marina's face flushed, she gave him a shy look, and let out a soft hum.
When the sun was high, the two fell into a deep sleep.
All three forces now submitted to Nashadier.
……
And at this moment, on the other side of the ocean, America!
In a former British colony in America, this colony now belonged to Longyan.
Qin Zhangfeng led one thousand Longyan Soldiers to this colony.
This colony was accessible from all directions, the terrain was flat and full of fertile soil, but the land here was very barren.
Only a few crops were planted here, but they did not grow well.
However, this was a paradise where Indians gathered; Qin Zhangfeng could see an Indian every one hundred meters here.
Within a radius of ten miles, there was no telling how many Indian tribes of all sizes existed.
The development here was very backward; compared to the Indian tribes around Longyan City and the tribes near Yun City, it was simply like heaven and earth.
These tribes were still using primitive tools; they did not know how to smelt iron, and the British who ruled here had not left behind iron smelting either.
They were still sharpening one end of a tree branch, or tying large pieces of hard stone to wooden sticks with cloth strips to make simple tools.
Seeing this scene, Qin Zhangfeng's brows furrowed slightly; these Indians were backward to an unbelievable degree.
They had not even formed a system for the most basic communication or the most basic language; they were still using hand gestures.
Qin Zhangfeng sighed and took another look at the backward Indians here.
But he discovered that not all Indians were so backward; there were some Indians who had mastered preliminary knowledge and knew how to use tools.
But these Indians who knew how to use tools were deceiving, seducing, and even seizing the produce of those backward Indians.
Seeing this scene, Qin Zhangfeng shook his head and did not pay any more attention to it.
He headed deep into this Colonial Area; he walked very slowly along the way, the purpose being to observe and record the situation here, and to gain some understanding of the place.
This place was filled with chaos.
He had even seen a tribe here that adopted a matrilineal inheritance system, where an uncle could ensure that the children born to his sister were related to him by blood.
Therefore, all assets left behind after an uncle died were inherited by his sister's children, not his own sons.
After seeing this scene, Qin Zhangfeng's mind went blank; he did not know what to say about it.
He only felt that everything was bizarre.
Qin Zhangfeng sighed; for over a hundred years, colonists had landed in America one after another, spreading knowledge, but also bringing disaster.
However, the people here in America, due to the terrain, had failed to form a culture; although these Indians in the vast primeval jungles of America had their own development,
they were far more backward than countries in Asia and Europe.
Some Indian tribes were even still in a very primitive and backward state.
Those colonists only knew of the resources here and only influenced the natives in ways that were useful to themselves.
Qin Zhangfeng walked very slowly along this path, taking a full half-month to reach a place that looked quite affluent, where there were even some city constructions that looked quite modern.
"This is the city built by the British."
Qin Zhangfeng led these one thousand Longyan Soldiers to advance into this city.
Inside the city, it was very desolate; only a few British were hurrying along, and after seeing Qin Zhangfeng, they did not even take a second look.
Qin Zhangfeng did not bother with them either; he often saw British and French passing through here. This place was flat and accessible from all directions, and with many mines and Factories connected, a lot of time could be saved from here.
But precisely because of this, wars often broke out here, and the British and French would fight fiercely over the ownership of this place.
The British had once analyzed that this city was of no use to Longyan.
Unless Longyan City collected passage fees here, otherwise, this city would not only not make money, but would also consume power to maintain rule here.
So after Qin Zhangfeng entered the city, he searched for a long time and did not see a single British person, and there was not even anyone to hand over the city to him.
Qin Zhangfeng walked into this building full of British-style architecture.
His adjutant, Leiming, frowned slightly and could not help but petition: "General, the British left us such a city; it is truly unbearable!"
"This subordinate requests to seize other Colonial Areas of the British!"
Qin Zhangfeng looked at him: "Seize? Do you think our current Longyan City is suitable for war?"
"Especially at such a critical time?"
The others fell silent one after another and said nothing more.
Qin Zhangfeng swept his gaze over them and said indifferently: "In this colony, we will build the third city of Longyan in America."
"Pass on my order: no one in this place is allowed to pass through!"
Hearing these words, everyone was slightly stunned, their faces full of confusion and bewilderment.
Someone stepped forward and asked in a deep voice, "General, this subordinate believes the only use for this city is that it is a hub of transportation."
"Although our Longyan City does not need to use the transport lines here, collecting transit fees from the French and the British here would also be quite good."
Qin Zhangfeng looked at him calmly.
"You did not understand my order."
This general immediately fell silent; military orders are like mountains, military orders are like mountains.
Although General Qin treated people gently, these generals dared not contradict his orders.
Seeing that all the generals had stopped speaking, Qin Zhangfeng then said, "Although this is a war-torn land, the soil here is fertile; it is suitable to serve as the granary for our Longyan City, and it is also suitable for us to train troops, raise horses, and develop our cavalry. You are all experts at leading troops; you should understand this by now."
A flash of brilliance crossed the eyes of the generals.
