Chapter 353 - 341: Acquiring a New Ship
After Cui Hongtao left, Yang Zhenshan came to Yu Tonghai’s study.
In the study, Yu Tonghai was engrossed in drafting their observations from their time in the Li Sheng Dynasty with Sun Cheng. In reality, they had not penetrated deep into the Li Sheng Dynasty but merely stayed in the southernmost Qunshan Prefecture City for a while, and the information they gathered was collected within the city walls of Qunshan Prefecture.
Yang Zhenshan perused the content they had written, lost in thought.
From what the two had seen and heard, it was apparent that the living conditions in the Li Sheng Dynasty were not well—the spirit and physical stature of the people within Qunshan Prefecture City were weak, likely the results of prolonged starvation.
This was understandable; according to what Sun Cheng had said earlier, the Li Sheng Dynasty’s rebellion had broken out four years ago, meaning this civil war had been ongoing for four years.
A war lasting four years could plunge the entire Li Sheng Dynasty into the throes of famine and poverty.
After all, the Li Sheng Dynasty was not vast in size, roughly equivalent to a single province of Da Rong, even smaller than the Liaodong Region.
The Liaodong Region refers to a large portion of Liao Yuan Province, Ping Yuan Province, and Shanhe Province, already twice the size of the Li Sheng Dynasty.
A mere province’s land, enduring a four-year-long civil war—the outcome is self-evident.
Thinking it over, Yang Zhenshan also sat down beside them, picked up a blank document, and began to write.
