Jin Hui was completely stunned!
He knew that the secret weapon made by the son-in-law would be very powerful.
However, he didn't expect it to be so powerful.
It was simply shocking!
It was a dam made of stone blocks. It was extremely sturdy and could be used for hundreds or even thousands of years.
It was simply unrealistic to dig it up by relying on manpower.
Unless hundreds of warriors were mobilized at once, and there must be a strong man with a full set of tools, it would take several hours to dig a hole.
But now, relying on the son-in-law's secret weapon, a huge hole was torn open in an instant. It was really unbelievable.
Was the son-in-law really omnipotent?
Next, an even more shocking scene appeared.
The monstrous flood, like thousands of galloping horses, swept across the sky.
That power of yours is completely unstoppable!
The entire ground was trembling violently. The warhorse under Jin Hui was already shivering, directly kneeling on the ground and refusing to move.
Jin Hui dismounted and ran up the mountain with the woman in his arms.
Perhaps it was because the jolt was too strong, but the beautiful woman actually woke up.
… …
The torrential flood surged along the valley, all the way downhill.
Its momentum became more and more astonishing, and its speed became faster and faster.
Anyone who saw this scene would only feel the insignificance of human strength.
At this time, it was already dawn.
The masters of the Zhu family were still sleeping soundly in their beds, but the servants had already woken up to work.
In the entire manor, there were nearly a thousand servants, maids, tenants, and so on.
Almost immediately, they heard the loud noise and rushed out, immediately seeing this incomparably terrifying scene.
The rolling flood surged from the valley.
"There's a flood, there's a flood!"
"Run for your life, run for your life …"
Countless servants and tenants dropped everything in their hands and rushed up the mountain.
If they were ordinary farmers or townspeople, they would still rob their family's property.
But they were all servants, it could be said that they had almost nothing, and there was nothing to tidy up.
Even if there was, it was just a small amount of money hidden away.
The servants in the entire manor scattered like birds and beasts, madly rushing up the two sides of the mountain.
There was still time.
Because the flood was still a few miles away.
Viscount Zhu Lanting's son, Zhu Wentai, was sleeping soundly with his concubine in his arms.
Suddenly, he felt the ground shake violently.
Earthquake?
He jumped out of bed and opened the window.
Then, he saw an unforgettable scene.
A monstrous flood poured down from the valley.
Along the way, it was like crushing dry weeds and smashing rotten wood.
The Zhu family's wine-making plantation, horse farm, and all kinds of workshops were all swept away by the flood.
All the houses were destroyed.
Then, without even putting on his clothes, he ran up the mountain.
"Rumble …"
"Rumble …"
Finally, the shocking flood came.
Bringing along countless mud and ruins, it fiercely swept across the Zhu Clan's beautiful and magnificent mansion.
The carved railings and jade walls were completely destroyed.
The small bridge was also completely destroyed.
The pavilion was instantly reduced to ruins.
All the gardens, all the warehouses, all the houses.
He was instantly engulfed by the flood.
Because it wasn't only the reservoir of the Zhu Clan that was rushing down, but also the reservoir of the Zhu Clan. An astronomical amount of water crazily gushed out, and even the Nu River seemed to have found an outlet.
Therefore, the power of the flood was extremely shocking. It had surpassed the raging tides of the Qiantang River.
The Crown Prince, Zhu Wentai, and the Viscount's wife stood at the top of the mountain, watching the scene unfold before them.
It's all over!
It's all over!
After the Zhu Clan handed over their fief, all that was left was this manor in front of them.
Now, it was all ruined.
A hundred years of foundation.
All of them were buried in the flood.
Zhu Lanting's wife was in a daze at first, and then burst into tears.
"Oh my god!"
"Oh my god, why do you do this to our Zhu Clan?"
… …..
Shen Shisan changed six horses along the way, and finally arrived at the Bitter Water Land.
This land was close to the sea.
Countless years ago, because of the rise of the sea level, the seawater flowed back and covered this land.
After the seawater receded, this land became saline-alkali land.
Nothing could survive, so no one lived there.
Because the water here was bitter, so it was called the Bitter Water Land.
Along the way, Shen Shisan was as if facing a formidable enemy, ready to fight at any time.
Although he didn't ask specifically what he was going to do, he knew in his heart that this matter was of great importance, and even related to the survival of the Xuan Wu Mansion.
Not for others, even if it was for his parents to enjoy their old age, he would fight desperately.
Shen Lang, I will let you see how powerful I, Shen Shisan, am.
I'll make you regret leaving me to fend for yourself.
On the way, he would kill all the gods and Buddhas he met.
But there was a gap between reality and ideal!
Shen Shisan didn't even meet a ghost, and he arrived at his destination smoothly, which made him feel lost for a while.
After arriving at the dam of the Bitter Water Land, he measured the position.
Then he began to dig with all his strength.
He dug a deep hole and stuffed the big box into it.
He lit the long fuse with a flint.
Then he ran away.
Almost two minutes later!
"Boom!"
There was a loud noise.
A huge crack was suddenly torn in the dam of the Bitter Water Land.
The flood of the storage lake of the Nujiang River found a real huge outlet and surged out.
In addition, the heavy rain had stopped.
Therefore, the water level of the storage lake of the Nujiang River kept dropping.
… …
At the Ningxu Dam in the north of the Xuan Wu Mansion.
The rain actually stopped.
Five hundred elite warriors dispersed. Some of them went to patrol and clean up all possible enemies.
Some went to the sentry post on the dam to kill the guard team of the Xuan Wu Mansion.
The last one hundred people went to dig the dam.
However, there was no one around.
Even the sentry post on the dam was empty.
"This is not right. There should be people in the sentry post all the time."
"How could there be no guards in the heavy rain?"
The only explanation was that the people of the Xuan Wu Mansion found their team, so the people in the sentry post fled in advance.
"We've been found. Hurry up and dig."
Zhu Lanting ordered.
Then, more than one hundred people took all kinds of tools and began to dig wildly.
Zhu Lanting was too ambitious.
He wanted to dig a huge crack of two or three feet wide.
Therefore, he asked the two hundred people to dig separately.
It was easy to dig a hole and put explosives in this kind of stone dam.
However, it would be very difficult to dig a hole that was several zhang wide by relying on manpower.
Because the dam was very thick, more than ten meters thick.
"Hurry up, hurry up …"
Zhu Lanting roared.
More than two hundred people dug desperately.
They used all their strength.
The stones on the dam were lifted up one by one and thrown into the lake.
Zhu Lanting was overjoyed. At this speed, they would be able to dig a huge crack in less than four hours.
However, at that moment.
The water of the entire reservoir suddenly shook violently.
Then, someone said, "Am I seeing things? Why do I see the water level dropping?"
In fact, the water level was dropping very slowly, almost invisible to the naked eye.
But after a few minutes, the water level had clearly dropped a little.
Soon after.
The water surface shook violently again.
It was Shen Shisan who blew up the dam to release water.
This time, the water level had dropped relatively significantly.
Because two huge spillways had appeared.
The two hundred people were still digging the dam.
However, the water level dropped faster and faster.
In the end, it was even faster than the digging speed.
Zhu Lanting exclaimed, "Why, why is this happening? Why? "
Although the rain had stopped, the water level should not have dropped so quickly, right?
Someone next to him said, "Unless someone is releasing water somewhere else."
Hearing this, Zhu Lanting could not help but shudder. His heart skipped a beat.
Because he thought of an extremely terrifying possibility.
Then, his scalp went numb.
"Go, go, go …"
Zhu Lanting screamed wildly.
Qiu Xiao, the young lord of Furious Tide City, said, "Why should we go? Even if the water level drops, we can still dig the dam. Even if the flood is not fierce, we can still flood Xuan Wu Mansion. "
Viscount Zhu Lanting said, "It's impossible, it's impossible. Someone has opened the dam at the lowest point to release water. The water level will drop even lower than the dam, and the valley alone can stop it. It's useless. We can't flood Xuan Wu Mansion anymore. "
Moreover, Viscount Zhu Lanting could no longer care about drowning the Black Tortoise Manor.
Although it was satisfying to destroy the enemy's foundation, it was more important to protect his own.
Without another word, he mounted his warhorse and led his team back home.
"Please don't, please don't!"
Zhu Lanting prayed as he ran.
Please don't let the most terrible situation happen.
The dam in Kushuidi must have collapsed. That must be it, because the terrain there is the lowest and the water pressure is the highest.
Shen Lang is not a god. How could he know that I would dig the Ningxu Dam to flood Xuan Wu Mansion?
Moreover, he should still be in the Nujiang Hunting Ground at this time. He could not be here to harm me.
I must be scaring myself.
My family's century-old foundation will be fine, it will be!
Zhu Lanting kept comforting himself as he galloped madly on his horse.
Faster, faster, faster!
… …
The Black Tortoise Manor's troops left the Nujiang Hunting Ground in a grandiose manner, returning to Black Tortoise City.
Shen Lang, Jin Zhuobo, and Mulan were all in a large carriage.
Jin Mucong, the fat otaku, was in another carriage because he was too heavy.
Master Lang began his performance again, and it was the most important one.
This was because he was going to deploy the Kim family once and for all.
Father-in-law said, "Will Jin Hai Earl give Jinshan Island to us smoothly?"
"No." Shen Lang said, "I especially hope that he won't give it to us."
Father-in-law asked, "Why?"
Shen Lang said, "The most important thing for us in the battle for Jinshan Island is ownership of the island. We have succeeded in this. But even if we get the island back, it will take at least one or two years for him to benefit from it. "
Jin Zhuo agreed.
This was because the development of the mines on Jinshan Island and the construction of a new smelting plant would require time, manpower, and financial resources.
The Tang family will not give you all of these things.
Shen Lang said, "Zhang Chong is a very, very amazing person. His biggest strength is his determination and decisiveness. Once he loses the game, he will immediately give up this step and move on to the next one. He would rather sacrifice the immediate benefits in order to take the initiative. "
Jin Zhuo Count felt it.
The Zhang Chong he saw this morning didn't seem to be affected by the defeat at all. Once again, he was like a cold and threatening but deeply restrained sharp blade.
In this battle for Jinshan Island, Shen Lang and Zhang Chong could barely be considered to have fought to a draw.
Because luck was on Shen Lang's side, Zhang Chong lost.
Otherwise, it would have been hard to say who would have won.
This governor was not lacking in foresight, methods, determination, and breadth of mind.
Most importantly, when he looked at Shen Lang and Xuanwu, there was not the slightest bit of hostility in his eyes.
He really did not have any hostility.
Unlike Jin Hai Earl, Chingan, and the others, who looked at Shen Lang with monstrous hatred in their eyes.
An enemy who was not hostile to you was the most terrifying.
Enemies can make people dizzy, but calm enemies can constantly look for your flaws, and then stab you with a fatal knife at the critical moment.
Shen Lang said, "Although we won the battle for Jinshan Island, if I were Lord Zhang Chong, how would I destroy Xuan Wu Mansion?"
Shen Lang began to substitute himself.
"The first step, I would definitely persuade Jin Hai Earl to immediately hand over Jinshan Island to our Kim family, without delay."
Xuanwu said in surprise, "Oh? Why? "
Shen Lang said, "To turn Jinshan Island into a meat grinder, and let us bleed to the last drop."
Xuanwu said, "Lang 'er, tell me in detail."
Shen Lang said, "Once the Tang Clan hands over the entire Jinshan Island to us, and even those smelting fields and mines that aren't damaged in the slightest and are handed over to us in perfect condition, we can immediately start mining and smelting as long as we send people over. How would the Tang family react? "
Count Xuanwu said, "They would definitely be ecstatic. They would send large numbers of miners and ironworks from Wangya Island to Jinshan Island, and restore Jinshan Island's iron production as soon as possible. Not only that, they would also send a portion of the army to guard Jinshan Island's mines. "
"Yes," Shen Lang said, "our family would do that, and we would fall right into Zhang Chong's evil scheme."
Xuanwu said, "I'd like to hear the details."
Shen Lang said, "If I were Zhang Chong, I would definitely ask Jin Hai Earl to give Jinshan Island to both families, one to us, and the other to Qiu Tianwei. Do you think Qiu Tianwei would let go of such a fat piece of meat?"
Xuanwu said, "He wouldn't. Pirate Lord Qiu Tianwei is the most greedy person in the world, and he doesn't lack money. What he lacks the most are iron and weapons. Because there are no iron mines in Leizhou Archipelago, his weapons and iron mainly rely on trade with the Tang family."
Shen Lang said, "At that time, Pirate Lord Qiu Tianwei would send a large number of troops to fight with us for Jinshan Island, and we would fight like crazy on Jinshan Island. When that time comes, do you think the Monarch would send troops to help us exterminate the pirates? "
Of course not. The Monarch couldn't wait to borrow Pirate Lord Qiu Tianwei's hands to exterminate Xuan Wu Mansion.
Shen Lang said, "Father-in-law, how many troops does Qiu Tianwei have?"
"About 20,000," Xuanwu said.
If the pirates under his command were included, it might even be a little more.
It must be known that the previous generation Xuanwu had hired 3,000 troops, an entire fleet, and the private army of Xuan Wu Mansion to attack Qiu Tianwei's pirate army. In the end, they had failed, and the entire army had been wiped out.
But now, Qiu Tianwei had been developing for more than 20 years.
He also occupied dozens of islands in the eastern sea. Just the area of Leizhou Island, where Angry Tide City was located, was more than 5,000 square kilometers, and he had also built a huge sturdy castle on it. Adding the surrounding islands, the area was probably more than 10,000 square kilometers.
Therefore, even though Qiu Tianwei was a pirate, his strength had far surpassed that of Xuan Wu Mansion. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to control the trade routes in the eastern sea of the State of Yue.
Shen Lang asked, "Jinshan Island isn't our home ground. It has been run by the Tang Family for decades. When the Tang Family and Qiu Tianwei join forces, then will we win the war that breaks out on Jinshan Island?"
Xuanwu shook his head. "No."
Shen Lang said, "Therefore, once we take over Jinshan Island, our family will bleed to the last drop of blood on it. In the end, we will still lose Jinshan Island. At that time, the Yin Yuan Association will demand repayment from us, and we still won't be able to repay this debt. All our resources and strength have been invested in Jinshan Island. When the time comes, the Monarch will hand over Cliff Island to the Yin Yuan Association, and we will have nothing. "
Xuanwu shuddered at the thought of that ending.
At that time, a large number of Xuan Wu Mansion's private troops would die on Jinshan Island, and they would lose Cliff Island. The Kim family would be completely destroyed, and their destruction would be accelerated.
Mulan said, "Husband, if we win Jinshan Island, not only will it be useless, but it will also become a burden?"
"No, of course it will be useful!" Shen Lang said excitedly. "First of all, the permanent ownership of Jinshan Island already belongs to us. This is the most important thing. This is a century-old foundation.
"Secondly, I want to use Jinshan Island to attract the Pirate King Qiu Tianwei and have him station a large number of troops on Jinshan Island.
"Next, our Cliff Island strategy will explode with shocking results that will shock the world!
"On Cliff Island, we will earn an astronomical amount of gold coins. Not only will we repay the Yin Yuan Association's debt, but we will also be able to generate huge profits. Moreover, we will make Cliff Island famous all over the world and become an island flowing with gold, shocking everyone.
"When Cliff Island becomes famous all over the world and becomes an island of gold, it will be coveted by countless people. We will use the cruelest means to kill the Pirate King Qiu Tianwei's son, Qiu Xiao. What do you think will happen then?
Xuanwu said, "Qiu Tianwei will retaliate and lead an army to attack us. But his pirate army does not dare to go deep into the land, so they will attack our Cliff Island and seize this island flowing with gold. "
"Yes!" Shen Lang said, "He has already sent a part of his troops to Jinshan Island, and this time he will attack Cliff Island. He will have several times our strength. But at this time, we will completely abandon the entire Cliff Island and turn it into a poisonous bait. "
"The Cliff Island strategy will earn us millions of gold coins, which will shock the world. We want the world to feel that Wangya Island is our most core foundation. We would rather give up our fiefdom than abandon Wangya Island. "
"We will create a false impression that all our forces will be gathered on Cliff Island to protect this core area."
"But when Qiu Tianwei leads an army to attack Cliff Island, we will completely abandon this island. Even if it can earn us millions of gold coins, we will abandon it. And we will first turn the entire Cliff Island into a poisonous place, a place where Qiu Tianwei's army will die. "
"And at that time, Raging Tide City will already be empty. We will build a plank road in the open and secretly move forward."
"And our final goal is to seize Raging Tide City and Leizhou Island!"
"To be king across the sea!"
"Does the State of Yue have a large-scale navy? No! "
"Can the State of Yue send an army to cross hundreds of miles to attack Raging Tide City? No! "
"Furthermore, Leizhou Island is very close to the State of Wu."
"The moment we seize Leizhou Island, the State of Wu in the north will do its best to show goodwill and try to rope us in. They will even be willing to offer us the title of Marquis, just like how the State of Yue tried to rope in Duke Bian Xiao."
"At that time, Father-in-law will report to the Monarch that the Kim family has successfully wiped out the pirates and seized Leizhou Island for the State of Yue, opening up new territory for the State of Yue."
"At that time, what will the Monarch do?"
Xuanwu said, "They will confer me the title of Marquis and bury the hatchet. The flames of the new government will never burn our heads again. The sword above the Kim family's head will be completely gone, and we will forever preserve our hundred years of foundation and prosper."
"Yes!" Shen Lang said, "This is my complete plan, to solve the family crisis once and for all."
"What Jinshan Island, what Lookout Cliff Island, they are too small, unable to build a city on a large scale, unable to develop agriculture, and too close to the mainland."
"No matter how much money we can earn from these two islands, it is useless. As long as we do not solve the crisis of the new government, no matter how much money we have, they are just pigs and sheep waiting to be slaughtered. Therefore, whether it is Jinshan Island or Lookout Cliff Island, we will first throw them out as poisonous bait. "
"Furthermore, once our strategy of dividing the sea succeeds, Lookout Cliff Island and Jinshan Island will still be ours!"
Xuanwu and Mulan were immediately stunned.
To think that Shen Lang would actually be so generous.
His plan to solve the family crisis of the new government was actually so bold and imaginative? This was no longer one or two steps in advance, but three or four steps!
Lookout Cliff Island was the core asset of the Kim family, and Jinshan Island was even more important.
But now, Shen Lang was actually throwing them out as bait, with the goal of luring Chou Tianwei's Leizhou Archipelago.
Using two islands in exchange for tens of thousands of square kilometers of land in the Leizhou Archipelago.
What great boldness, a heavenly generosity.
Dividing the sea to divide the sea!
It really made one's body and mind tremble.
Just thinking about it made Xuanwu's body heat up and his blood boil.
Once this strategy succeeded, wouldn't he, Jin Zhuo, surpass his ancestor, Jin Zhou, and become the greatest Xuanwu of this generation?
"Dividing the sea to divide the sea not only solves the family crisis once and for all, it will also bury all of our enemies!" Shen Lang: "Therefore, all of our future deployments, all of our resources, will only be for this one goal: to seize Raging Tide City and seize Leizhou Archipelago."
"Our military strength is far less than Chou Tianwei's, but our advantage lies in our foresight. We can deploy everything in advance and draw Chou Tianwei into the trap step by step."
Jin Mulan: "Husband, is it because you want to seize Raging Tide City that you let Xu Qianqian infiltrate Chou Yao Er's side?"
Shen Lang: "I have great hopes for Xu Qianqian. She may be a very important chess piece in our plan, but we can't completely count on her!"
A flower planted intentionally doesn't bloom, but a willow planted unintentionally grows. This wasn't the first time Shen Lang had seen this happen.
Now that they had won the battle for Jinshan Island, according to their previous agreement, Xu Qianqian should listen to Shen Lang and rely on Raging Tide City's Miss Chou Yao Er.
I hope she can keep her word.
If she doesn't keep her word, does Master Lang want to sleep with her?
Qianqian's ex-wife, please don't disappoint this ex- Husband!
… …
