Chapter 837 – Moving and Rebuilding

Each legion corps had one Taiping Country General taking up the role of Legion General. Additionally, there were Major Generals such as Military Law Secretary Feng Yunshan and Xiao Chaogui, Hu Yubiao, and Qin Rigang.

The Taiping Country generals had officially risen and became a huge power in the army.

The only party that could compete with them would be the Three Kingdom generals. However, they were not from the same faction and whether they could be listed together or not was unknown.

Zhang Xutuo, Luo Shixin, and Qinqiong; this teacher-student combination was also really eye-catching.

Of course, with Baiqi, Han Xin, Huo Qubing, and Sun Bin, these four God Generals in charge, along with a strict military law system, Ouyang Shuo was not worried that any of the generals would try anything funny.

Whilst arranging their appointments, Ouyang Shuo also purposely split up the generals from the same systems.

With the three legion corps all reaching full strength, Shanhai City had a total of 20 War Fighting Legions, with 1.4 million troops guarding its huge border.

The four borders were connected, forming a narrow strip, so they lacked sufficient strategic depth. If it was not that nearly half of it was oceans or territory borders, Shanhai City would face an even greater defensive pressure.

Hence, Ouyang Shuo decided to fill up the three legion corps all at once.

Morning of the 23rd day, Ouyang Shuo was in Xunlong City. He gathered Du Ruhui and the other generals to hold a military meeting to announce the expansion plan and relevant appointments.

The specific reorganization work would be left to the Military Affairs Bureau. Ouyang Shuo’s only request was to break up the armies of each territory and for them not to be biased against any generals.

Ouyang Shuo had once written to the 16 Lords of Minnan Province to ask them to evaluate all their generals.

After the military meeting was over, Ouyang Shuo met Qinqiong alone.

Name: Qinqiong (King Rank) Dynasty: Sui Tang Identity: Tiger Legion Corps 4th Legion Legion General Occupation: Advanced General Loyalty:75 Command: 70 Force: 85 Intelligence: 55 Politics: 40 Specialty: Valiant (raises troops attack strength by 20%, raises troops traveling speed by 20%) Cultivation Method: Family Legacy Halberd Technique Equipment: Tiger Head Golden Halberd Evaluation: Qinqiong is valiant and good at using the horse lance. Loyal to his Lord till death, he strived to serve the country well.

Once the truth was out, Qinqiong turned his hatred toward King City, “If it were not for them, my Lord would not betray Shanhai City.” At least, that was what Qinqiong felt.

Hence, Qinqiong strongly requested to guard the border of Fuyong Prefecture.

Ouyang Shuo agreed to his request and also had a discussion with Tiger Legion Marshal Sun Bin. Not long after, the Tiger Legion headquarters would move to Fuyong Prefecture.

Sun Bin would lead the 1st legion of the Tiger Legion Corps as well as the 3rd and 4th legions under Fan Lihua and Qinqiong and guard Minnan Province.

This climatic battle between Sun Bin and Wuqi was going to be one to look forward to.

As for the defenses of Shaozhou Prefecture, Di Qing’s 2nd legion and Li Xiucheng’s 5th legion would work together. At the same time, Di Qing would become the Deputy Marshal of the legion corps and be in charge of the defense of Lingnan Province.

With that, not only did they not weaken the overall defenses in Lingnan Province, but they also strengthened their defenses against Jiangnan. The Tiger Legion Corps also became the first to cross over two provinces.

The newly formed 5th legion of the Leopard Legion Corps would be sent to Tianjing City to be in charge of guarding the Satellite City. If needed, they could go up north to help out.

… 3rd month, 24th day, after arranging all the military affairs, Ouyang Shuo started his one week tour.

Since the establishment of the country was imminent and the Satellite City matter had not been settled, taking out a week was already Ouyang Shuo’s maximum. Luckily, the four Prefectures of Minnan Province were really stable, so Ouyang Shuo just needed to show himself to announce that he was the ruler.

If he had time in the future, Ouyang Shuo would come over once again. Using this chance, Ouyang Shuo also gained a rough understanding of these four Prefectures of land.

Let us start with Longyan Prefecture.

Along with Minnan Province’s four Prefectures entering the jurisdiction of Shanhai City, the relationship between Shanhai City and Quanzhou Imperial City became really weird. Whether the two could still maintain close trading relationships or not was an unknown factor.

As a result, Ouyang Shuo instructed Longyan Prefecture to quicken their construction of Xiamen Port to try to let it be on the level of Jiaozhou Port in one year.

In reality, Xiamen Port was a bigger port than Quanzhou Port, and its geographical location was superior. As such, there was no reason to say that without Quanzhou Port, Shanhai City would not be able to continue the ocean trading.

On the contrary, Quanzhou’s competitiveness would drop without the goods of Minnan Province. The Yizhou Straits was also controlled by Shanhai City, so they had little chance to compete against Xiamen Port.

The only regret was that the famous Anxi Land of tea was located within Quanzhou. Anxi was where the famous Wulong Tea and Tie Guanyin came from.

Apart from Xiamen Port, Longyan Province also had some coal resources that could help to somewhat alleviate their current situation.

Not mentioning Dingzhou Prefecture and Shaowu Prefecture, they did not have any weakness or specialties. They belonged to the average kind of prefectures, which could bring in decent profits if ran well.

And these two were connected to Jiangchuan Province and could lead the products and merchants from Jiangchuan province through Xiamen Port to overseas. Just the taxes alone were sizeable.

Out of the four Prefectures, the future of Fuyong Prefecture was the best.

Xunlong Dianxue had borrowed Shanhai City’s development experience and used loans from the Four Seas Bank, so the overall economic ability of the Prefecture was obviously stronger than the other three.

After taking down Fuyong Prefecture, the relevant loans were transferred under the Fuyong Prefecture office. Fuyong Prefecture system was also easily shifted into the Shanhai City System. … Just as Ouyang Shuo was touring Minnan Province, the discussion between Qingfeng Pavilion, Shadow Alliance, and Yimeng Pavilion came to an end.

During that period, Moon Shines over the River even informed Ouyang Shuo. Only after Ouyang Shuo agreed did they carry out the plan.

3rd month, 15th day, a certain piece of news shocked the entire guild circle.

Qingfeng Pavilion, Shadow Alliance, and Yimeng Pavilion announced that they would merge into one guild – Blood Shadow Alliance.

After this merger, the shares of the three guilds in the Four Seas Bank would all transfer to under the Blood Shadow Alliance.

11% of shares instantly made them the second biggest shareholder of the bank.

After attacking Xunlong City, Ouyang Shuo did not take things too far. Xunlong Dianxue’s 1% share in Four Seas Bank still belonged to him, and it was enough for him to live a life of riches.

Moon Shines over the River would be the guild leader while Ji Yinghu and Mengyun Tunding would be the assistants.

From today onward, the names of the three guilds would become a part of history. From the ashes, a super guild would be born.

The new Blood Shadow Alliance would be even larger in scale than the Blood Evil Mercenary Group, becoming the guild with the most players.

They had over a million members.

Their failure at obtaining a Satellite City meant that during this period of time there were members who left. Luckily, Ouyang Shuo’s promise made many of the core members remain.

To lose a portion of the deadweight would instead make the guild much stronger. Of course, the reason behind the merger’s success was Shanhai City’s Satellite City.

Ouyang Shuo gave them the power to become the guardian guild of the Satellite City, moving their guild headquarters to the city. As for Dali and Jingdu, only a branch guild would remain.

The moment the news went public, numerous guilds were envious.

After the Shanhai City Satellite City appeared, who knows how many guilds from the nine imperial cities would try to form relationships with Shanhai City to obtain the rights to defend the Satellite City.

Who knew that Ouyang Shuo would have already decided?

Of course, Blood Shadow Alliance paid a price. Ouyang Shuo was not a saint after all.

The guild shares revolution of the Blood Shadow Alliance proceeded as usual. Ouyang Shuo held 5% of the guild.

One must not look at how small 5% seemed. At the current stage, it was worth millions. Even Moon Shines over the River only possessed 4%.

Hence, Ouyang Shuo was the biggest shareholder in the guild. However, his shares and the shares of the others had different voting rights.

As long as the higher ups of the guilds did not have an internal struggle, they would still control the vote.

The Shanhai City Satellite City was incredibly huge, so it could obviously take more than one Blood Shadow Alliance. Thread and Fallen Moon Guild would similarly set up branches in the city. Of course, their headquarters would not shift.

In the eyes of Qing Sikou and Sun Xiaoyue, Yashan City was not any weaker than the Satellite City.

Both guilds were made of pure work occupation players, and as long as they started a resource collecting and purchasing guild as well as a sales group, all would be done.

As for exploring the underground world, it was best left to the combat occupation players.

At the same time, half of the small and mid-sized guilds that Shanhai City had recruited all moved toward the Satellite City. Even if they did not move their headquarters over, they would set up a branch guild there.

Even so, the Satellite City still seemed a little empty. However, Ouyang Shuo did not intend to invite too many guilds at once.
