Global duel: my copy is invincible

Page 198They just discovered that the tax revenue has increased a lot compared to before, and they can intensify their research and development of firearms!

As long as the time is right, they can work together to destroy Chen Ming’s city!

Both the mountain city and the upstream city are hoarding supplies, and they are ready to go!

Such a period of peace lasted for a year!

Of course, in reality, only ten minutes had passed!

Su Xian’er has been paying attention to the situation in the city. Winter is coming, Su Xian’er obviously found that the river and mountain products on the market have decreased a lot.

Such a situation is due to the coming of winter.

Also because it took a year, the fish and shrimps in the river and the beasts in the mountains were almost caught!

Su Xian’er excitedly told Chen Ming about this, and Chen Ming nodded to her, ”It’s almost done, we can issue an order to stop selling grain!”

”Yeah!” Su Xian’er couldn’t wait to give the order, she had long wanted to see what would happen in those two cities!

”The people in those two cities have not farmed in the past year!”

”Once they can’t buy food, what will they do?”

”Maybe, they will rise up?”

Su Xian’er’s speculation made Chen Ming laugh, ”Actually, I don’t want them to rise up. If there is a war, many people will die!”

Su Xian’er looked at Chen Ming suspiciously, ”If they don’t rise up, how can you destroy those two cities?”

Chen Ming gave such an explanation, ”The common people have no way to survive, so they will do things that rise up.”

”If I give them a way out, what do you think will happen to them?”

Su Xian’er was very curious, ”What kind of way of life are you going to give them?”

Chen Ming didn’t answer, but gave an order to the officials in the city, ”Set up soup kitchens outside the city, and post a list of job seekers!”

”Porridge, recruiting?” Su Xian’er was stunned for a moment, and she suddenly realized, ”If the common people have no food to eat, in order to get rid of heavy taxes, they will choose to flee and become refugees. You are just robbing the population of the other two cities. !”

Accompany Chen Ming to stop food sales!

The people in the mountain city and the upstream city have money in their hands, but they can’t buy any food!

In the past year, they made money very happily, and their farmland was already covered with weeds!

At this moment, they panicked when they couldn’t buy food. The officials who called for the payment of taxes did not accept the money from them, but ordered them to hand over the food!

But where do they have food in their hands? Now they can only dig grass roots and eat leaves to satisfy their hunger!

I don’t know where the news came from, saying that the city below the mountain is giving out porridge, and the city downstream is recruiting workers!

Ordinary people who have no way to survive, when they heard such news, they did not hesitate to drag their families to migrate!

Witnessing this scene, the candidates who ruled the mountain city and the upstream city suddenly panicked!

They tried to prevent the people from fleeing, but with little success.

At this time, they wanted to send troops to forcefully attack Chen Ming’s city.

However, even the army did not have enough food to supply, and the morale of the army fluctuated, and many soldiers even became deserters!

Seeing such a situation, the two candidates all realized that they were finished, they lost!

They thought that they had accumulated enough strength and could easily lay Chen Ming to the ground!

But they never expected that they would be played around by Chen Ming without knowing it!

The defeat is set, and they are powerless!

At this time, they can only withdraw from this competition...

Chapter 271 Three days later, I will command an army to attack you

Candidates who dominate the mountain city and the upstream city.

They chose to give up one after another and withdrew from the competition!

Seeing this scene, both Su Xian’er and the netizens cheered for joy!

”This is the so-called army that surrenders without fighting!”

”Chen Ming defeated two opponents without using a knife or a gun!”

”Others, almost all use means of war to conquer others!”

”It seems that Chen Ming is the only one, let’s use economic means to disintegrate the opponent!”

”I believe that many candidates actually understand economic warfare, but why don’t they implement economic warfare? In my opinion, this is a matter of courage!”

”Yes, yes, this is a matter of courage!”

”In the beginning, everyone was on the same starting line!”

”Everybody’s worried that someone else will attack!”

”So, the first thing everyone develops is military power!”

”But they forget that military strength is linked to economic strength!”

”Without a strong enough economic strength, the military power is doomed to fail!”

”That’s right, but Chen Ming chose a different path of development. His first development was economic!”

”When the other candidates used the territory’s finances to develop firearms, he developed a convenient tool like a waterwheel!”

”Moreover, in order to enhance the farming ability of the people, he does not allow the slaughter of cattle, and also rewards fertility!”

”I have to say that Chen Ming definitely has the strength to become the champion!”

Netizens are discussing Chen Ming enthusiastically.

Mr. Xia and his party who witnessed Chen Ming’s performance with their own eyes.

They are also very satisfied with what Chen Ming has done!

”That boy, I thought he would lead the people to fight and kill.”

”Next, I want to see how he will develop!”

”Now, the people in the mountain city and the upstream city have become refugees. The combined population of the two cities is close to 10. It is not easy to feed those people!”

Chen Ming had already thought about how to arrange for those refugees.

Chen Ming planned to send those refugees to build the city wall!

He intends to use the city wall to connect the mountain city with the upstream city, as well as his own city!

Thick city walls look very stupid to modern people, but in ancient wars, city walls were extremely useful.

Building walls is tiring work, but it’s better to have work than starve to death!

Under Chen Ming’s plan, the city walls connecting the three cities were built at a speed visible to the naked eye!

The cannons built by the mountain city and the upper reaches of the city were now cheaper than Chen Ming’s, and they were installed by Chen Ming into the army.

Su Xian’er didn’t understand Chen Ming’s move to repair the city wall, ”Are you only planning to defend, not attack?”

Chen Ming explained with a smile, ”There are more than 1000 candidates participating in the championship competition. Even if there are only [-] candidates left, there are still many enemies!”

”Once I attack other cities, what should I do if the headquarters is attacked by others?”

”What’s more, I use the city wall to connect the three cities in order to build a large city!”

”A thick city wall will give people a sense of security. Next, I will absorb more war refugees. I believe they are willing to join such a safe city!”

Chen Ming’s explanation made Su Xian’er suddenly realize.

No matter which dynasty, once a war breaks out, there will be all kinds of refugees!

For ordinary cities, the handling of refugees will be a headache.

But for Chen Ming, refugees meant labor force, and his city was full of food, which could feed many refugees!

Next, Chen Ming promulgated various policies again!

Various policies to benefit the people have attracted many war refugees to seek refuge!

Other cities were raging with flames and wars, but Chen Ming’s city was quiet and peaceful, like a paradise!

During this process, more and more candidates were eliminated!

Among them, Fang Rong is like the god of war. He led the army and used various conspiracies to destroy dozens of cities and occupy an extremely vast area!

However, after he developed from a city lord to a country lord.

He was horrified to find that his territory had grown larger, but the people under his rule had not increased much!

In such a situation, he discovered the super large city run by Chen Ming!

The city run by Chen Ming is extremely prosperous, and its economic strength is extremely strong!

However, there are not many soldiers guarding the city!

Chen Ming was so rich, he was a big piece of fat!

Fang Rong did not hesitate to contact Chen Ming in the brain network, ”I hope you will submit to me and pay tribute to me, otherwise, I will lead an army and destroy your city!”

When Fang Rong contacted Chen Ming, it was naturally broadcasted live and was seen by netizens!

The relationship between Fang Rong and Chen Ming is finally settled!

”In other words, Chen Ming and Fang Rong are simply two extremes!”

”Chen Ming has been developing the economy, while Fang Rong has been launching wars, using wars to support wars!”

”Among them, who is stronger?”

”I think, Chen Ming must be stronger, after all, he has strong financial strength!”

”I think Fang Rong is stronger. The city wall built by Chen Ming may not be able to stop Fang Rong’s cannon!”

In various live broadcast rooms, netizens argued over this matter.

Facing Fang Rong’s threat, Chen Ming didn’t care at all.

”Fang Rong, I will also give you a chance to surrender!”

”If you don’t want to surrender to me, then I have no choice but to feel sorry!”

”Hahaha...” Hearing Chen Ming’s words, Fang Rong couldn’t help laughing out loud, ”Chen Ming, I want to see how you deal with my attack!”

”I’ll give you three days!”

”In three days, I will command the army to attack you!”

Fang Rong’s ruthless remarks made the netizens boil again!

”The three days in the competition will come soon!”

”How will Chen Ming deal with this crisis?”

”I have to say that his city is huge, but his military power is not strong!”

”That is to say, Chen Ming will definitely be very dangerous this time. Fang Rong is a ruthless man who uses war to support war. There is no economy in his territory. This time, Chen Ming cannot use economic warfare or other methods to deal with Fang Rong. Rong, he must confront Fang Rong head-on!”

Those who supported Chen Ming couldn’t help feeling worried at this moment.

”What should I do?” Su Xian’er was very nervous.

”What else can I do?” Chen Ming smiled easily, ”Of course I need reinforcements!”

”Huh?” Su Xian’er was extremely surprised, ”Since when did you form an alliance with other people?”

Chen Ming shook his head, ”I haven’t formed an alliance with others yet, but I believe that many people are willing to form an alliance with me!”

”Really?” Su Xian’er was very skeptical, but at the same time couldn’t help worrying, ”You have to know that all candidates are enemies, even me, in theory, is your enemy. Allies are not reliable!”

Chen Ming couldn’t help laughing, ”I didn’t say that after forming an alliance, I will trust others unconditionally!”

How Chen Ming will solve this crisis, both Su Xian’er and netizens are very curious...

Chapter 272 So, please become stronger as soon as possible

Facing Fang Rong’s crisis.
