The changes in the east of Yingzhou and Haozhou have not yet affected the west of Yingzhou. However, the annexation war in the interior of Yingzhou has already had an impact.
Even if the coastal areas of the West can ask for food from the sea, it is limited after all! And only coastal countries can get food. Countries slightly inland will face famine. And coastal countries will obviously not be so generous to open the sea or provide food.
In fact, if the Shang Dynasty had not signed an agreement with the Demon Saint Island, the western part of Yingzhou would have become the "hunting ground" of the demons, and the situation would have been even worse. It should be said that Yingzhou should now thank the Shang Dynasty and Li Xian.
Well, it doesn’t matter, because in a war, who would care about the Shang Dynasty far away on the western coast of Yingzhou
Ningguo and Liangguo became the two overlords of the western part of Yingzhou (to be precise, the entire western central part of Yingzhou and the northwest part of the human territory).
When most other countries in the west of Yingzhou were still watching and complacent, Ningguo and the two countries were the first to complete industrialization.
In particular, the two countries competed and confronted each other, and sometimes some small wars broke out, which greatly promoted the development of technology in both countries. In general, the two countries are still mainly confronting each other, expanding on their own, and there is a tacit understanding.
Interestingly, there are not many direct wars between the two countries. Most of them are just one side showing off the good stuff to suppress the other side's arrogance. Of course, it is a war after all, so it is understandable that a few thousand people die accidentally; or there are some "wonderful" actions that will make one side "cheer".
For example, not long ago, Zhang Quan took the lead in completing the first batch of supersonic aircraft. Not to mention how much blood and sweat Zhang Quan put in for these supersonic aircraft, just to say that the effect brought by these supersonic aircraft is very shocking.
At midnight, bombs were thrown into the Liang Palace. Fortunately, Zhang Quan was not a political novice and was not overly enthusiastic. He did not throw big bombs, but only two small bombs into the palace. However, he threw many large bombs outside the palace.
However, there was something in the two small bombs dropped by Zhang Quan!
The Emperor of Liang was so angry that he jumped up and down. So far, Liang has begun to lag behind Ningguo in technology! The biggest problem is that Ningguo has the knowledge of fluid mechanics given by Li Xian.
Fluid mechanics is a critical science that is used in propellers, ballistics, internal combustion engines, compressors, etc. It can be said that it involves all aspects of science and industry.
In order to speed up the progress, Liang State also created some kind of auxiliary formation for the aircraft - this seemed to be a success, but it was actually a temporary solution, seeking only temporary glory without delving into the essence of science.
Now, Liang State began to suffer losses.
At the beginning, Li Xian stipulated that the plane must fly into the sky by its own power. Zhang Quan didn't understand at the time, but he believed in Li Xian and did it. Now Zhang Quan understands, and Liang Guo also understands. But the gap between the two countries has widened.
Now Liang State has begun to seriously study propeller aircraft, and Ning State has begun to build a supersonic aircraft production line!
However, at this moment, there was no joy of the supersonic plane in Zhang Quan's eyes, only depth.
Zhang Quan knew very well that every time he succeeded, he was one step closer to the legendary "saint"! His wife, the beautiful princess Ning Xiaolan, was no pushover.
