nIn addition.
nA rumor quickly spread throughout China.
nIt was rumored that the mysterious people who killed the leaders of the three major forces last year also attacked Li Yueming.
nThe two sides had a huge battle in the depths of a mountain outside Qingdu Port.
nIn the end, Li Yueming beheaded all of them.
nAccording to rumors, one of them was even a Tier 8 Combat King of the Free State who was comparable to a Martial Emperor!!!
nWhen this news spread out.
nThe first reaction of all the martial artists was that it was impossible.
nHowever, as the details continued to increase.
nThe martial artists in Jianghu could only suck in cold air.
nIt was too terrifying.
nThat existence in Qingdu Port was not even eighteen years old yet, right?
nHe actually had the ability to kill a Tier 8 Fighting Emperor.
nIn other words.
nDidn’t that mean that even an ordinary Martial Emperor from Huaxia Base couldn’t withstand a single blow from him?
nThinking of this…
nThe countless forces and individuals who were still eyeing the existence of Li Yueming and the Qingdu Port suddenly became obedient.
nEven the other two groups that occupied the coastal ports were so frightened that they wanted to return the ports to Qingdu Port.
nAt this moment.
nOnly then did the entire land of Hua Xia realize that a new behemoth had been born.
nNot to mention the increasingly large and prosperous Qingdu Port. Li Yueming’s Martial Emperor Realm strength alone was enough to dominate the entire Huaxia Country.
nThis year.
nThe Great Xia Dynasty welcomed a rare period of peace.
nBecause of the sudden death of the leaders of the three major factions, the various factions finally did not dare to continue being arrogant.
nIn addition, the weather had been pleasant for the past two years, and they could harvest a lot of food every year.
nThe Great Xia Dynasty seemed to have regained its former prosperity and vitality.
nHowever, everyone with insight knew that all of this was just a reflection of the moon in the water.
nUnder the calm water.
nThere were often vast and turbulent undercurrents hidden.
nThe power struggle in the Great Xia Imperial Court became more and more intense.
nCompared to the little Emperor who sat on the high platform, the Empress Dowager, who had the support of her family, was the actual leader of the country.
nThe empire seemed to have settled down.
nIn order to better control her power, the empress dowager, who had long hair but short knowledge, began to reshuffle the various forces in the court. At one point, she was so ridiculous that she wanted to let her family’s dogs become officials in the court.
nThis was undoubtedly poking a hornet’s nest.
nThe originally peaceful court had become a new arena for the various powers.
nThe rotten smell could be smelled even from half of China.
nIn the end, after two months of fighting.
nThe Empress relied on her tyrannical family power to control the core power of the entire court.
nThe prime minister was demoted, and the officials who were on the same boat as him were almost all wiped out. Countless heads fell to the ground.
nBlood was flowing in the court, and all the officials outside the Empress ‘faction were trembling.
nHe thought that he would be able to sit firmly on the throne this time.
nHowever, the Empress and her family members had clearly underestimated the ministers ‘determination to get rid of her.
nOne day in July.
nThe prime minister had raised an issue and instigated the 12 imperial guards to rebel.
nIn addition, he had also invited a Martial Emperor from somewhere to enter the palace overnight in the name of cleaning up the royal side, uprooting the Empress and the relatives behind her.
nIn the palace, the last Martial Emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty was fighting desperately to protect the little Emperor.
nIn the end, he was still killed by the Martial Emperor brought by the Prime Minister.
nThe little Emperor also ‘accidentally’ died in this battle.
nThe sky was just beginning to brighten.
nThe entire capital fell into endless panic.
nBlood flowed everywhere, and corpses were strewn all over the ground. This was the first time that such a phrase had appeared in the imperial palace, which was known as the most powerful place in the world.
nAugust.
nThe new puppet emperor, who was only nine months old, succeeded the throne.
nOctober of the same year.
nThe turmoil in the capital spread to other places.
nThe imperial family of the Great Xia Dynasty, which had experienced more than 300 years of glory, had finally become a thing of the past at this moment.
nThe Great Xia Dynasty still existed in name.
nIn reality, it had already been destroyed.
nRegarding this.
nAlthough the world was shocked.
nBut overall, they weren’t too surprised. After all, they had already seen the signs.
nNow that Great Xia was completely desolate, it was just a guess that had fallen into reality.
nAt the end of the year.
nSomeone discovered a warship belonging to the foreigners of the Free State at the northern port.
nAlthough the hundred or so warships that covered the sky were only passing by the sea near the port, they were still in the middle of the sea.
nHowever, it also brought about endless turbulent ripples.
nEveryone was trying to guess the reason behind the sudden appearance of the battleships.
nIn the end.
nAfter a short discussion.
nMost people were inclined to believe that the foreigners were going to start a war with Qingdu Port.
nThe truth did not disappoint them.
nThe foreigners ‘warships crossed the coast of China and arrived at the mouth of Nanwan Port.
nThe current South Bay Port was actually Li Yueming’s territory.
nObviously.
nThese foreign warships were here to cause trouble for Li Yueming.
nThe black warships lined up in a row, and the steel barrels fired at the city wall of South Bay Harbor.
nA few hours later.
nThe city walls of Nanwan Harbor, which were nearly ten Zhang tall, were flattened by the artillery fire.
nBefore the warships from Qingdu Port could come to support them, the foreign warships had already left.
nOnly a small, almost invisible shadow was left at the edge of the coastline.
nThis round of attacks was undoubtedly a slap to the face of Qingdu Port.
nHowever, at this moment, no one could laugh.
nEveryone in the Great Xia Dynasty felt a bone-piercing cold.
nThe foreigners could just clap their hands and leave after attacking South Bay Harbor.
nDidn’t that mean that they could attack any port along the Great Xia coast and leave safely?
nThe information that was revealed.
nIt was enough to cause countless people to fall into deep thought.
nEveryone was waiting for the legendary monster in Qingdu Port to make his move.
nAfter all, if it was any other faction.
nHe might have endured it if the Westerners were to attack him in such a way.
nHowever, that person in Qingdu Port was famous for his bad temper. A single word of disagreement would cause blood to flow like a river.
nNow that he had suffered such a huge loss, he would definitely take revenge.
nHowever, what puzzled countless people was that…
nThis time, Qingdu Port was a little too quiet.
nThe Westerners sailed their warships away without paying any price.
nSuch behavior made everyone extremely puzzled.
n“What happened? Could it be that the person in Qingdu Port didn’t even dare to retaliate against the firearms and cannons of the foreigners?”
n“That shouldn’t be. I remember that the navy of Qingdu Port was also very powerful!”
n“Hehe, that might not be the case. The warships of Qingdu Port have never had a head-on clash with the warships of the foreigners. Who knows if they’re just for show?”
n“That makes sense. Qingdu Port is developing so quickly, so it’s definitely impossible for it to be all-encompassing. Those warships might really be just to scare people. They can scare us Great Xia, but they’ll be scared when faced with the foreigners ‘real guns!”
nAlthough I don’t want to admit it, it seems like this is the only possibility!”
n“Sigh… How can this be? The firearms and cannons of the foreigners are so powerful. Sooner or later, they will attack our Great Xia!”
n“The nobles in the court are all busy collecting money. It’s useless even if they don’t care about us!”
nAfter hearing the news.
nWho knew how many people of insight were sighing and worrying.
nIn Qingdu Harbor.
nLi Yueming sneered after hearing the news.
nLooking at the furious Fu Xiaorou, he asked,””How many people died?” Hearing this.
nFu Xiaorou’s expression eased a little.””According to your arrangements, other than some civilians who were injured by the artillery fire, no soldiers were injured or killed in Nanwan Port!”
nLi Yueming nodded, and his expression relaxed a lot. He nodded and said, “”That’s good. Let them be arrogant for a while!”
nShe looked at the calm man not far away.
nFu Xiaorou nodded.
nThe anger in his heart also calmed down a lot.
nAccording to the information collected by the cruise ship.
nThe number of foreign warships was not too many, and it seemed that they were only passing by the waters near Qingdu Port.
nHowever, even so.
nHowever, they still arrogantly launched an attack on Nanwan Port. In just two hours, they directly flattened the city walls of Nanwan Port.
nWithout a doubt.
nThis was an unscrupulous provocation.
nThe technological content of the Westerners ‘warships was also very powerful.
nIn terms of weight and size, it was about the same as the third-generation voyage warships of Qingdu Harbor.
nHowever, the third-generation warships used the black technology of martial artists. Their true combat power should be able to suppress the foreign warships.
nIf Li Yueming had not personally ordered the fishing boats in Qingdu Port not to act rashly, Fu Xiaorou would have sent out the third-generation warships to kill these foreigners.
