Chinese martial arts! Grandmaster

Chapter 235: Garrison in Shandong! Super Heavy Naval Gun

Ming Jin is fully developed!

Chen Jie's knife kick was fierce, brutal, and merciless!
Iga Hirokazu didn't have time to make any defensive moves and was killed in one blow!
Eight seconds!
This is the power of the great achievement of Ming Jin, the real killing skill!
this moment,
Many boxing fans at the scene were completely stunned.

what's the situation?
How come Iga Hirokazu died?

Is his ability to withstand blows so poor?

Because in the previous seven days, Chen Jie's "knife kick" had never seriously injured his opponent.

Everyone thinks that Chen Jie does not have strong explosive power.

At this moment, Iga Hirokazu was seen lying on the ground, motionless.

The first thing that comes to everyone’s mind is that the Japanese have poor resistance to blows.

Judging from the action, there was nothing surprising about Chen Jie's "knife kick" compared to the previous ones.

Everyone else can withstand the kicks from 'Half Fox', why can't the Japanese?
It is clear,
The strength of the Japanese islander is overestimated, his ability to withstand blows is too poor!

Since Chen Jie's spiritual realm had broken through to the realm of 'Great Inner Vision', he could accurately control his murderous intent.

Therefore,
Even many top boxers near the octagonal cage could not sense the violent aura from Chen Jie.

Naturally, other boxing fans could not tell the difference of the "knife kick" just now.

The movements are all the same, with almost no difference.

Wow——!
Next,
In the boxing match hall of the Porto Bay Hotel, the atmosphere was completely ignited after all the boxing fans reacted.

Chen Jie returned to the corner of the octagonal boxing ring and waited for the live broadcast to announce the result of the boxing match.

at this time,

The 'Blood Dragon Jade' in his mind kept flashing.

[Martial Arts Merit Points: +10000 points! ]

[Congratulations on advancing to the second round of 'Hell Blood', and you will receive an additional 20000 martial arts merit points! ]

[Congratulations on becoming the first boxer to advance, and you will receive an additional 10000 martial arts merit points! ]

[Congratulations on becoming the most valuable boxer in the South American underground boxing world, and you will receive an additional 10000 points of martial arts merit! ]

【Congratulations--!】

-

[Congratulations on becoming the most researched boxer, and you will receive an additional 20000 martial arts merit points! ]

When Chen Jie saw the words that appeared on the 'Blood Dragon Jade' in his mind, a smile appeared on his face.

The [Martial Arts Merit Points] gained from this boxing match actually reached 13 points!

It’s incredible!
This time I came to Sao Paulo, Brazil, South America, to participate in the 'Hell Blood' boxing tournament. The [Martial Arts Merit Points] I received from each boxing match were very considerable.

Next,
He checked the remaining [Martial Arts Merit Points] of the 'Blood Dragon Jade';
536500 points!
call--!
Chen Jie couldn't help but take a deep breath.

At this moment, he understood something.

The efficiency of 'Blood Dragon Jade' in obtaining [Martial Arts Merit Points] has been improved by one level compared to before.

If nothing unexpected happens, the efficiency of obtaining [Martial Arts Merit Points] should be upgraded as my martial arts level breaks through!

That's right,

This can be clearly felt from the [Extra Rewards].

In the past, it was extremely difficult to obtain 10 points of [Martial Arts Merit].

When he first participated in the Southeast Asian underground gambling boxing "Black War Championship", he only earned more than 10,000 martial arts merit points for each boxing match.

And now, a boxing match can earn 13 points of [Martial Arts Merit]!
Ever since he broke through to the Bronze Skin Ming Jin realm, the efficiency of obtaining [Martial Arts Merit Points] has increased a lot.

Next,
He pushed aside the chaotic thoughts in his mind.

Since the South American underground boxing arena's 'Hell Blood' gambling boxing championship is held every four years, the schedule is relatively long.

The first round of boxing will end in half a month.

Chen Jie is the first boxer to advance to the second round and is also the most valuable boxer in the South American underground boxing world.

He wanted to participate in the second round of the South American underground boxing tournament 'Hell Blood', which would take half a month.

He now couldn't wait to move the [Armor-Piercing Production Line] and [Extended-Range Artillery] to the 'Other World'.

There are also [naval gun production lines], oil extraction, refining and other equipment.

No rush, take your time!
This time, he fought in the underground boxing arena in South America for eight days and won a total of nearly 200 million US dollars.

The odds for the first few boxing matches were very good.

but,

As Chen Jie won continuously, his odds became very low later on.

Chen Jie was already very satisfied with earning 200 million US dollars.

With this money, he can buy a lot of things around the world.

The day after the South American underground boxing betting "Hell Blood" ended, Chen Jie rushed back to the Netherlands in Europe.

He first had to move the prepared "naval gun" production line back to the "other world".

This time he did not carry any gold or silver coins.

At present, he has enough 'gold coins' and 'silver dollars', and the food is enough for a period of time.

Good steel must be used on the blade.

He now urgently needs to build a "naval gun".

This set of naval gun production lines that was transported to the Dutch shipyard was purchased from old industrial scrap.

This is a naval gun production line from the 1950s, a product acquired from North America.

Because modern weapons are much more advanced than before.

Therefore,
The naval gun production line at the end of the 1950s has been eliminated and has long been discontinued.

The [naval gun production line] purchased by Chen Jie can produce heavy artillery with a maximum caliber of 330mm.

Although it was a scrapped product line, it was not cheap to buy it, costing several million US dollars.

Chen Jie was very satisfied when he saw this complete [naval gun production line] in the Dutch warehouse in Europe.

Although it is old, there is not much rust on the surface.

It must have been coated with anti-rust oil before being scrapped and stored, so it looks very new.

Next is Chen Jie’s key target this time.

[Extended-range artillery] and [armor-piercing projectile production line].

Chen Jie opened the "Blood Dragon Jade" in his mind and tried all three production lines.

[Extended-range artillery production line]: 1 set (10 points);
[Armor-piercing projectile production line]: 1 set (15 points)

[Naval gun production line]: 1 set (15 points)

[Small oil extraction equipment]: 1 set (10 points)

【Oil detection equipment】: 1 set (2 points)

Chen Jie stayed in the shipyard in the Netherlands, Europe for almost three days.

He asked the sellers to complete the debugging of each production line.

This time, there were quite a lot of 'items' to be moved, and he specifically moved equipment for oil exploration and extraction.

The ships that Ximentang converted from merchant ships are powered by diesel and consume a lot of diesel.

After returning this time, Ximen Tang will soon be transferred to Shandong for garrison.

He already has a plan. After Ximentang arrives in Shandong, he will develop a complete industrial system belonging to Ximentang.

Starting from steel mills, to arsenals, textile mills, shipyards, refineries, power plants and so on.

The production line that is being moved there now is too small.

Originally, he planned to move the equipment from the refinery over there as well.

However, the [Martial Arts Merit Points] are not enough, so I can only move other equipment over first.

There is no problem in extracting the crude oil first and storing it.

The most urgent task is to lift the blockade at sea and repel the Western coalition forces.

After checking everything around, Chen Jie locked the shipyard's warehouse.

He took a deep breath and used all his strength to exert his spiritual perception of "inner vision".

After confirming that there was no one around, he clicked on the 'Blood Dragon Jade' in his mind.

[Consume 52 martial arts merit points! ]

[The Blood Dragon Jade has been activated, and the Martial Saint Gate has been opened! ]

hum!
Following a burst of red light.

Chen Jie and the items around him that needed to be moved were all shrouded in red light.

next moment,
He took a step into the rotating 'Martial Saint Gate'.

After a while,
After a dizzy spell, Chen Jie slowly opened his eyes and returned to the large warehouse of the shipyard in Tianjin.

at this time,

The remaining [Martial Arts Merit Points] of the 'Blood Dragon Jade' in his mind is 16500 points!
The more than 500,000 [Martial Arts Merit Points] that I had just accumulated suddenly fell to the bottom again.

-

The fifteenth day of the second month of the Daqian calendar.

The fifth day of the Chinese New Year!

This was a very special day, and it was also a day when the situation in the Daqian Dynasty changed suddenly.

Ning Wang Li Mu in the northwest started a rebellion!

Then,

Li Chuang, the King of Shu in southwestern Sichuan Province, also raised the flag!

The war broke out throughout the northwest, southern Sichuan, Hanzhong and other places.

Princes from all over the country responded one after another, and a great war swept across the entire Daqian Dynasty.

The troops stationed in various places by the imperial court's Ministry of War were swept away by the local princes.

The Hanzhong area assembled 200,000 troops, the southern Sichuan assembled 300,000 troops, and the northwest assembled 300,000 troops—!
Li Gang, the vassal king of the southern Fujian region, even invited the Oriental Fleet to station there and directly handed over Wan Island. All the Daqian troops originally stationed on Wan Island were withdrawn.

The whole world is in chaos! The Daqian Dynasty was originally peaceful on the surface.

When the First Fleet of Great Britain was stationed at the Huangpu Port in eastern Zhejiang, local princes saw the opportunity and took advantage of it to launch rebellions.

Chen Jie, who was busy assembling the production line at the Ximentang Arsenal, was completely dumbfounded when he heard the news.

Damn——

Plans don’t change as fast as they should!
The royal family tried to balance things, but they messed it up!

Once the external forces become uncontrollable, the powerful fleets and armies of the Westerners will approach.

When all the military forces of the Daqian Dynasty were mobilized to fight against the Western coalition forces.

There was emptiness everywhere inside.

All of a sudden, the princes from all over the country started to raise their troops as if they were injected with chicken blood.

In their view, this was an opportunity to turn the tables and become the masters, and to break away from the control of the Daqian Dynasty.

See you in the picture!

At this time, the princes from all over the country were too lazy to even try to cover up their situation and simply rose up in rebellion.

"Sir, over the years, the princes of various places have been secretly increasing their military strength and purchasing a lot of advanced weapons from the West."

"Northwest, Southern Shu, and Hanzhong were originally rich areas. The princes have managed them for several years. This time, the Daqian Dynasty——!"

"well--!"

After Zeng Xuanhuai and Chen Jie finished their report, they couldn't help but sigh.

Chen Jie nodded and squinted his eyes and said:
"Mr. Zeng's worries are somewhat justified. The princes of various places have long been ready to make a move. They have been accumulating for decades, just waiting for an opportunity!"

"Once the army is raised, the energy that will be unleashed will be enormous."

"It looks like the Daqian Dynasty is in big trouble this time!"

Internal and external troubles!

The Western Allied Forces were approaching, and it seemed that southern Jiangsu and eastern Zhejiang were about to be occupied by the Western Allied Forces.

I didn't expect the interior to be such a mess.

Then Chen Jie asked, "How is the situation in Shandong?"

Thirteenth Aunt, who was following Chen Jie, said, "The coastal areas of Shandong were originally occupied by the Japanese. As the Western coalition forces evacuated Dongying in Shandong, the Japanese seemed to have sensed something was wrong. Their fleet was docked in Weihai, ready to evacuate at any time and move to Lushun in the northeast!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Jie said in a deep voice:
"They are very smart. They know that our Ximen Hall will soon move into Shandong, and they have already made preparations for retreat!"

"The chaos is coming, the external enemies haven't been driven away yet, but the internal chaos has already begun!"

"When a war breaks out, all lives are lost, and in the end, the common people are the ones who suffer!"

-

Chen Jie doesn't have the time to deal with the mess within the Daqian Dynasty, nor is he obliged to care about the rebellions of local princes.

After occupying the Cangzhou Canal Transport Wharf, Ximen Tang immediately divided its troops and began to enter Shandong.

Because a few months ago, Shandong had been defeated and fled by the landing of the Japanese army.

Moreover, Ximen Tang’s current combat capability is not something that the scattered soldiers of the Daqian Dynasty can resist.

After Ximen Tang's army entered Shandong, they swept across the country with unstoppable force.

The remaining local troops were so frightened when they saw Simon Hall's artillery and muskets that they fled in all directions.

Therefore,
In less than five days, Ximen Hall had entered Qingzhou, Shandong with great force.

In the Weihai area, Ximen Hall's artillery launched a fierce bombardment on the Japanese garrison.

With ease, Ximen Tang took over Shandong in one fell swoop.

Chen Jie is the legitimate governor of Shandong, and Ximen Tang has a strong military force.

Throughout Shandong, those aristocratic families and local gentry all submitted to the jurisdiction of Ximen Hall.

If there is any disobedience, bloody suppression!
Compassion does not command troops!

Even at this point, Chen Jie was not polite at all.

Throughout Shandong, some sparks of rebellion that were about to ignite were forcefully extinguished by Ximen Tang.

When we were recovering Qingdao Prefecture in Shandong, Yan Kuangtu sent a battle report.

It is said that the shipyard under Qingdao Prefecture did not decline during the period of occupation by the Japanese. Instead, the shipbuilding technology improved a lot.

The entire shipyard is well preserved and is even much larger than Ximentang’s shipyard in Tianjin.

It is clear,
This shipyard has cooperation with the Japanese.

After seeing the battle report, Chen Jie couldn't help but become very interested in Qingdao Shipyard.

When the Japanese left, they wreaked havoc on many places.

But it is indeed not easy for the shipyard to remain intact.

This shows that the person in charge of this shipyard is quite capable.

Since Ximen Tang had established itself in Shandong, Chen Jie had already planned to build a strong navy.

Therefore,
He wanted to visit the shipyard and planned to move many of the equipment from the Tianjin Shipyard to the Qingdao Shipyard.

Because the court of the Daqian Dynasty had not yet sent local officials to Shandong after stationing troops in Shandong at Ximentang.

Therefore, the appointment of officials in many places was directly taken over by Ximen Tang.

The Daqian Dynasty has already been troubled by the rebellions of princes in various places. How can it have the energy to take care of these things?

in addition,

Although Ximen Tang had already evacuated the Dagukou Fortress in Tianjin.

but,

Ximen Tang stationed 3,000 troops in Tianjin in case of emergency.

At the same time, at the Ximen Hall headquarters in the capital, the Ximen Hall expanded its army to a thousand people, with Liu Qi personally in charge.

In Shandong, Ximen Tang continued to expand its military.

Due to sufficient food supply and strict military discipline of Ximen Tang, no impact was caused to the local people either in Tianjin or in Shandong.

Therefore,
After Ximen Tang was stationed in Shandong, he was unanimously supported by the local people and order was quickly stabilized.

Chen Jie officially took office and brought everyone from Ximen Hall to Qingzhou, Shandong.

Since Chen Jie was appointed as the Governor-General of Shandong, Zeng Xuanhuai has trained a group of government administration personnel in accordance with Chen Jie's requirements.

A large proportion of them are scholars who are not in power.

These people will become the backbone of Ximen Tang in the future, specifically responsible for the management of people's livelihood.

They will now enter various grassroots levels to gain experience.

After Ximen Tang took over Shandong, Chen Jie was surprised that the Western coalition forces did not launch an attack on Nanjing within half a month.

It's just so dramatic!
Rebellion broke out within the Daqian Dynasty and internal war broke out.

Unexpectedly, differences also emerged within the Western Coalition.

There was a fierce conflict between the commander-in-chief of the Western Allied Forces, Waldersee, and Seymour.

It even evolved to the point where they went to war and almost ended up in a direct gunfight!

no way,
Waldersee's appetite was too big and he wanted to take away the "opium" sales channels that Seymour had created in the Daqian Dynasty.

and,

He also wanted to take away all the money that Seymour had earned over the years.

Wouldn't this cost Seymour his life?
You know, Seymour has been the commander-in-chief of the Western Allied Forces for so long, and he has a group of loyal subordinates around him.

As a result,
A split occurred within the Western Allied Forces, and with Seymour's rebellion, Duke Waldersee had to suspend his plan to attack Nanjing.

Ximen Tang is stationed in Shandong. It may take a month for everything to stabilize.

During this period of time, Chen Jie was thinking about making a detailed plan for the future of Ximen Hall.

and,

Some work needs to enter the preparation stage!

In fact, when he was at the Dagukou Fortress in Tianjin, Chen Jie had many ideas and plans for the future of Ximentang.

only,
The location of Tianjin Dagukou Fortress is not large and is too close to the capital.

Many of Chen Jie's ideas seemed a bit scattered and unable to form a whole.

right now,

Ximen Tang was stationed in Shandong and had a place to develop.

According to the current situation, a development plan must be formulated.

otherwise,
It's hard to accomplish anything if you hit the nail here and there.

Just after Ximentang’s arsenal, shipyard, etc. were moved to Shandong.

Chen Jie didn't sleep well for several nights in a row. He was thinking seriously about the future development of Ximentang.

According to the current situation, the imperial power of the Daqian Dynasty is basically coming to an end.

Even if there is some delay in time, I'm afraid it won't last long.

From the moment foreign enemies invaded and internal chaos fell, the decline of the Daqian Dynasty was doomed.

of course,

It is unpredictable whether there will be any reversal.

What Chen Jie needs to do now is to plan for Ximen Hall in the next three years.

No matter how the situation of the Daqian Dynasty changes, only by strengthening ourselves can we resolve all crises.

First of all,

What Chen Jie needs to determine is what his next goal is.
Is it to establish a dynasty belonging to Simon Hall?
Or create a "puppet" emperor of the Daqian Dynasty and become the "boss" behind the scenes of the Daqian Dynasty?
Or, to split off from Shandong and become a local emperor or warlord?

In fact, he is now the Governor-General of Shandong, and with Ximen Tang's current military strength, he is enough to become a warlord.

Before this, Chen Jie had never had any plans in this regard.

The main reason was that he had been busy strengthening the power of Ximen Hall and had no time to think about this problem.

But it’s different now, the situation is changing too fast!
Who could have imagined that the Daqian Dynasty would suddenly fall apart, and that princes from all over the country would rebel so quickly?

Therefore,
The most urgent task is that Ximen Hall must have a clear goal!
