Chapter 3490: The Enemy of Iron Fist (57) Resolution (2/2)
But as the fleet went all the way to the south, gradually, wherever it went, the iron fist army battle flags painted with the fist of steel became more and more sparse and bleak. Instead, various winches and gears appeared on the wharf, using Leverage to reduce the burden of tools.
Those cleverly designed levers and slings can be driven by ordinary people or even women with thin bodies to lift the cargo directly from the ship and slide it into the warehouse on the shore.
Continuing south, Gus even saw water-powered mills and factories in some villages along the river, moving day and night, and the rumbling of machinery was more turbulent than the river.
André, the commander of the fleet, told Gus that in the south, the water-powered mills produced white and fine flour, which was at least two grades higher in quality than manual milled in the north, but the price was three cheaper. To 30%.
Similarly, many spinning factories in the south use water-powered spinning machines to spun fabrics that are strong, light, and cheap. Even with the secret transportation to the north, it is more cost-effective than hand-woven homespun fabrics in the north.
Even the most devout believers in the north, who are the most devout to the **** of fist, are unaware of the cheaper but better-quality flour or fabric.
In the further south, water power has been gradually replaced by more stable and powerful steam power, and the various products there are even more varied and inexpensive!
Southern merchants secretly transported these commodities to the north and made a lot of profits. Northern residents never thought that there are so many exquisite things in the world, and the prices are so cheap.
In this way, all kinds of goods originally enshrined in the Temple of Fist went into the pockets of southern merchants.
The Temple of Fist was furious, and naturally beat the southern merchants into evildoers, and regarded the goods they made with machinery and steam as the temptation of demons.
The Temple of Fist cut off trade routes, arrested merchants, and sent Iron Fist troops into the swampy areas of the southern water network, those originally considered unimportant towns, destroyed machinery, burned factories, and tried to suppress everything about the ”Machinery and Steam Church”. activity.
Cutting off people’s wealth, such as killing their parents, and the so-called struggles of faith, are ultimately a struggle for interests. The southern businessmen whose factories were destroyed were unwilling to just wait and die, so they took out all their wealth and organized a ”steam army” to defend the factories and businessmen. Lu, he also smashed a lot of money to support the activities of the ”Machinery and Steam God” in the north, trying to dig the corner of the temple from the root.
In this way, the ”Steam Rebellion” intensified, and to this day, in the south, the Steam Army has been able to fight against the Iron Fist Army, and there is even a faint tendency to come from behind.
Such a magnificent, revolutionary change, if you change the old Gus, I am afraid that you will hear it with enthusiasm and enthusiasm. I can’t wait to join the steam army for the first time, representing the new force full of vitality, to eliminate the stubborn. The old forces.
But now, from the mouth of the devil, I know that the seemingly magnificent alternation between the old and the new is nothing more than a play that was predicted by the ”Fist God”. These people who struggle, struggle, fight to death, and sacrifice for their own destiny believe in them sincerely. The true gods in their hearts, believers who believe that a bright future is bound to come, are nothing more than chess pieces played by the ”Fist God” arbitrarily, or even just a series of trivial data.
The young man was sad and angry.
He wanted to roar to the sky, but in the end he swears secretly in his heart.
He vowed that he would make the **** boxer—no, the **** boxer would pay the price.
He will let the boxing champion see them—whether they are chess pieces, ants, or a string of trivial data that can be tampered with and obliterated at will!
Finally, half a month after leaving Qianyuan City, the fleet sailed into the southern region.
The north-south boundary is a broken and burning fortress.
The fort that was originally controlled by the Temple of Fist and the Iron Fist was garrisoned by the Steam Army. The seemingly solid copper walls and iron walls are riddled with holes in the steam cannons. The fortress is burning with the glory of the past. Military flag!
