The Sended's

Chapter 83: A House Divided Against Itself Cannot Stand

.

In the aftermath, all we had to do was clear the port entrance of the scattered Hohenzollern ships and bodies. The cost for that is also not cheap... Yuuna muttered continuously, she was annoyed because of the large amount of expenditure here...

"Originally you know, my friend, our industry is not finished yet! Then don't ask for a lot of things first for the military!"

"L-Yes, I'll hold back,"

He was planning to build many industries with his priority on Ruby Island, but the plan was only handed over to Kyouka a week ago before we teleported here so of course no one was ready yet...

Now that one problem has been resolved, Yuuna can continue her plan and start mining the materials on Ruby Island. I on the other hand will return to the Eastern Continent to see the conditions

Teleportation.

.

Time passed so fast, I was here for a month or maybe more, doing nothing because Ming also did not make any movement

My proposal to send weapons to Joseon in order to help them free themselves was also rejected by Kyouka, the three of them agreed to reject it because there were so many things to go through to reach Joseon

Yuuna said in terms of expenditure, Maou in terms of transportation technology, Kyouka in terms of public opinion.

Not usually my decision is rejected like this, but I accept it.

As a result, Joseon lost against the Ming and the rebels, all in all, were killed in a terrible way. They were thrust into long spears that were plugged into the ground, it was all done by the Ming near the forest on the North side of the city of Joseon

The area is now called the Forest of the Impaled, I'm sure the view there is terrible to see.

And well, since then, there have been stupid factions within the Ruby Kingdom...

The self-confessed Industrialist faction was led by Yuuna, the Maou-educated faction, the military faction that was of course me, and the Kyouka neutral faction

"See what they did to Joseon didn't they? Suppose we send them enough guns..."

"We must improve our economy first, is not domestic conditions always prioritized?" Said Yuuna

"Yuuna was right, but after seeing the outcome or impact of the incident, I now agree with Ryuu," Maou said

"Public affairs are also starting to shift to pro-war, what do you think Ryuu? Are you going to lead the army against Ming now?" Ask Kyouka

"Not now, the current patriotism in the Ming is also being very high after they won the war against Joseon, their people will demand a counterattack on Ruby. If they do that then we'll move, but if we don't then we'll move later,"

"What about the economy, Yuuna? Now can we bear the burden of war?"

Until now, the money we spend for all purposes is using gold from Ruby mines, no one knows yet because it is a royal secret to prevent a total war over the island

The nature of human greed is the first sin written in religious books, and is it not in each human being? Material or department

"The United States, the only country that deserves the title of superpower after the collapse of the USSR, they as far as I know when I moved here were the great nations that influenced the earth with their economy and ideology.

But it's not always like that...

Before the second world war, the US always adhered to the principle of neutrality, that is true.

And it was only after the second world war that they began to realize that neutrality could not protect themselves forever that they began to interfere in world politics and become superpowers.

We will be like the US, will open up and interfere in Kelfia politics soon. But I don't want any enemy to destroy a military base just now we're doing it no."

.

Ah the beauty of this world when viewed from another perspective, from the beginning this is a fantasy world...

Because of the war that never came, I decided to do my hobby in this world is reading again, but because the library books in Fuzhou have read almost everything so I decided to go to Qing

To get here I need to pass through Ming territory, our enemy. It is not easy because the guard is very tight, but can handle it well using skills and mutually beneficial negotiations of course.

Thanks to that, I was able to see the sights along my way here

I passed through the red river which can happen because of the mud it carries, this river can not be used as irrigation because it also, it seems like the mud is not just ordinary mud.... let Maou research that

The hills are different from the ones in Ruby, here it is towering and the slope is very steep, somehow it can happen.

The Ming countryside, far different from their city in Chengdu, did not feel the air of nationalism or patriotism here, they only cared about their lives in this day and that day.

The mainland of this continent is mostly filled with vast flat landscapes, green grasslands and yellowing, villages built in the middle of this meadow, some near the river of course.

Passing through a bridge and river is called the river of life because on the edge of the river is one of the primary needs of humans fulfilled, food.

On the other side of the river, although with the same scenery that was a vast rice field, it was no longer Ming territory.

That was how I got to Qing, the city empire that was the core of the Eastern Continent, with a city that was even bigger than Jin, let alone Ruby....

I want to try to blend in with the local culture but on the other hand I also do not want to be considered high because of wearing clean and neat clothes, with this also my attention is reduced.

Let's ask a farmer who is pulling over on the edge of his field towards the city,

"Good afternoon sir, I want to ask you the directions to Qing city, do you know where it is?"

"Yes, Qing is only following this path, about five days on foot" he replied

Is that so? I can be patient anyway but I don't know.my vacation time is uncertain.

"Are you from Ming, young girl? If so then the patrolling soldiers won't go easy on you," the farmer warned me

"Ah, I am not from Ming, I am from Ruby,"

"Ruby?" He doesn't know what I'm saying

I reached into the bag on the skirt I was wearing, took out a piece of gold coin that Kyouka had a face on it and the shield emblem underneath, it was the highest-rated gold coin in Ruby

So I gave the coin to the farmer as a sign of my gratitude

"Gold?!"

"Yes, use it as best you can" I said

"But the gold I know is usually not in the form of coins," ah might mean sycee or yuanbao

"Let's just calm, sir, it'll be useful soon,"

I continued my journey to Qing, again passing through the forest and small villages that lived peacefully outside the game of urban politics.

And when I get to a place where I can see Qing from a distance, really painting from here will probably get the best results. Since I'm not a painter, let's just proceed to the city gate

Qing oh Qing, this city built on a vast flat prairie became the center of the Eastern Continent especially in its field of science

The entrance gates of the city are never closed, symbolizing that they always open up opportunities for those willing to learn, however.... now the West Gate is closed tightly to tell everyone that Ming is not entitled to knowledge from here...

Well.wrong Ming also for trying to conquer the heart and brain of the Eastern Continent for themselves...

Even though Ruby will do it in the future...

Therefore only at this gate are also placed soldiers to check who want to enter the city, and only here are long rows of people waiting in line to enter it

Oh look, there are people from the Ming who try to enter, they are immediately expelled back to the Ming region even escorted by Qing soldiers so as not to settle in the Qing region other than within the city

As the farmer had previously said, the soldiers would not treat the Ming people easily.

"You, take off your hat and get rid of your scarf!" The soldier's orders

I followed his orders and did both

Not only the soldier, but everyone near me became focused here. Uh! Are they amazed because of the beauty of the face..ku.... it is impossible also.... they must be surprised because of my white hair and red eyes right?

Really.... actually why is this incredibly charming me that no one is interested in? Curse, this must be a curse!

Huft.

"You're not from Ming, are you?"

"I'm from Ruby,"

"R-ruby?! Does that mean Ming has collapsed?" So this time she knew Ruby

"Not really, I snuck in to get here" I replied

"Ah..well how else, Ming is a powerful land. But I appreciate you guys for fighting against them, that action was the one that made them retreat from the expedition here,"

I was allowed to put my hat and scarf back on, and then I tried to wonder about the expedition he mentioned

"If it's not wrong Ming sent two of his troops here, right? How are you guys dealing with that?"

"We joined in a pact with the kingdoms of the Southern part of the continent, who contributed the most were the cities of Liushu, Caowei, and Sunwu, they were like the largest kingdoms in the southern part" he replied

"What about Ashikaga?"

"They? Huh! They can only lock themselves up behind the mountains,"

Isolationist, just like the Japanese in the Muromachi period...
