Chapter 767: Realization

Ling Chen was also a man of swift and decisive action, especially now that he was in the South Asia Subcontinent and held the initiative.

After receiving Liu Zheng's letter, he launched his work without the slightest hesitation.

First, he ordered his top fierce general, Xiong Ao, to lead two hundred thousand troops and launch a direct raid on the Kokand Khanate. As for the petty actions of the Kokand Khanate, they have been described in the previous text. To describe them as treacherous, ungrateful, hypocritical, and cunning is not an exaggeration in the slightest.

At this time, the Kokand Khanate was still relying on its own strength to harass the Khiva Khanate, pulling its main force to the border with the Khiva Khanate to use as intimidation.

Unexpectedly.

The two hundred thousand troops on this side had already set out.

The second matter was the establishment of the "East India Trading Company" in Liangzhou. Following Liu Zheng's suggestion, Ling Chen sent invitations to every governor and Noble on this Indian Continent, and in the invitations, he envisioned a beautiful future for India. The content was very simple: I have come to lead everyone in doing business, and India will surely be wealthy in the future. Why fight wars? Isn't eating, drinking, and having fun better?

When Ling Chen's three hundred thousand troops began to occupy Delhi, they were initially anxious and uneasy, using various channels to send gifts to Ling Chen—grain, fodder, money—with only one purpose: to beg Lord Ling not to come and attack them.

Now that they saw two hundred thousand troops had been sent out to fight the Kokand Khanate, and that Lord Ling wanted to lead them in doing business?

This hit the mark, terrifying these governors.

Good heavens.

Remember the website rg

A company?

East India?

There is such a good thing?

As mentioned before, the South Asia Subcontinent, India, had always been colonized and poisoned by various people. Therefore, their concept of home and country was not strong. This led to ethnic and religious concepts exceeding those of home and country. With Delhi occupied, they did not feel there was anything wrong; the masses, for whom having enough food and clothing was always a problem, were nearly numb and would feel even less that there was anything wrong.

The governors were all green with envy.

Look.

The proposal introduced it in great detail: once this company was established, the Liangzhou side would send talent to invest and build factories in India—Cement Roads, Industrial Parks, the Liang-De Industrial Corridor—India's economy would take off.

This was all cold, hard cash!

Go open a company!

Thus, in the following days, the governors, one by one, safely brought their guards, pulling horse carriage after horse carriage of congratulatory gifts, and rushed to Delhi.

This is the stature of the Longyan people! This is the stature of the Celestial Empire!

Go!

On the day of the opening.

Ling Chen had changed into a "formal suit," and before he even went out, he received the news. From the governors of all parts of India, on the books, they had already sent ten million taels of silver!

Delhi suddenly became bustling.

The company is opening, shouldn't one send gifts? They want to buy shares, shouldn't they bring money?

"No, no, no, no, my Lord, it is already twelve million taels!"

Ling Chen was completely dumbfounded.

"How much?"

Ling Chen was stunned for a full two minutes before he asked.

Fifteen million.

When he walked out of the hall, the accounts already showed twenty million taels!

These governors are just too damn rich!

Thirteen million.

"Lord Ling."

When he came out, everyone stood up to salute.

"Greetings, Lord Ling!"

"May Lord Ling be well!"

This India, it can be considered settled!

Ling Chen had a smile on his face.

A young master is indeed a young master!

The defensive works were blown up.

Fighting while rebuilding the defensive works.

Fierce attack.

Defense.

Therefore.

Regarding his fierce attack, no one would go to question it.

This is what Liu Zheng and the others had been busy with these days.

Qiao Yuan's attack was very fierce; after all, it was a local war, and behind them was their logistical support. It could be seen that Qiao Yuan had been managing Liaodong for so many years and had long had the idea of rebellion; otherwise, why would he stockpile so many Cannonballs?

The Crown Prince was imprisoned by him, and you still ask what he wants to do? That naturally appears somewhat naive.

"Attack!"

The actions had already explained everything; rebellion is rebellion!

Once rebelled, it is rebelled!

A chaotic, yet implicitly orderly battlefield.

Liu Zheng stood at the highest point of the defensive works, quietly watching all of this.

"Fight back for me!"

"Northeast direction, reinforce!"

War is an unavoidable method, but if India could be successfully ruled through trade, Liu Zheng would certainly focus his thinking in that direction.

Trade.

At this moment, he was actually already somewhat numb to war.

Sometimes he did not even know why there was war. War is the continuation of politics; everyone understands this. Having thoroughly read On War, he naturally also knew that war, as a form of violence, could resolve almost all conflicts in the world. Any struggle, regardless of the cause, would eventually develop into war.

The era is different.

If you talk about trade with a human trafficker like Qiao Yuan now, it is like playing the lute to a cow.

Because he knew that after the Second World War in his previous life, war had begun to present itself in diverse forms, among which the most important and largest proportion was still trade war.

Of course.

Liu Zheng actually felt a sense of trance in his heart.

Reborn in this era, the things he pondered more were actually what he could do. What was the meaning of his appearance here?

Therefore, the most direct method was still war.

Watching the people killing and fighting before his eyes, watching these lives and deaths become so twisted and real before him.

Thus, he made Soap, made Perfume, and made fine wine.

He achieved all of it.

This is a very deep question.

At the beginning, he wanted to make money, and he wanted to lead his father to make a comeback.

He achieved that too.

As of today, he could already be considered the most powerful person in Longyan in every sense of the word.

Afterwards, he wanted to develop Yinzhou, develop Liangzhou, he wanted to protect himself, and he wanted to lead the people to live a good life.

Later.

It was just like playing a strategy game, capturing cities and seizing territory, developing slowly.

Liangzhou, Shuzhou, the Southern Barbarians, the Western Regions, and even Central Asia, up to the current Liaodong. His sphere of influence had already begun to slowly surround the entire Longyan.

He might not be the most powerful in terms of authority, but in terms of hard power, he was absolutely the strongest.

In his mind, he had always had a very clear framework for his own development.

What did he want to do next?

Become the Emperor?

However.

And then what?

Thinking of this, a sharp light suddenly flashed in Liu Zheng's eyes.

That's right.

No, he did not want to.

He felt that the value of his life in this incarnation should not be realized through such a method.

But what about now?

He had plenty of money; that cash cow, Yintan City, could even make him wealthier than the state—wealthier than the imperial family.

Life value.

Realizing life value. In his previous life, he was a top student who graduated and then became a corporate slave working overtime in a company. At that time, he felt that if he had money and achieved financial freedom, he would have realized his life value.

Was he happy?

No.

But he still felt lost now.

Was he joyful?

It was just that the scale was different.

The Liangzhou Army once again repelled a fierce attack by the Liaodong Army; looking at the wounded on the stretchers, they were also filled with excitement, clenching their fists tightly and roaring at the sky.

He was still rushing about, still personally working on different plans every day.

He was still living the life of a corporate slave, just like in his previous life.

Suddenly, Liu Zheng realized.

Reborn once.

What he should pursue is value and contribution.
