Start Being a Vassal King Today - Chapter 373

[Chapter 373 Beyond the Ode]

“King Yan, you are playing with fire! Don’t you know the evil name of Wufeng Island?” Kazuno Yamada grimaced.

“This king not only knows, but also knows exactly what Wufeng Island is. Your island owner is just a traitor who has changed his master and bullied Da Song.” Zhao Xu looked cold.

When the pirates attacked Jinghai County last time, he collected information about Lu Zheng.

This Lu was from Zhejiang Province. He was a smuggler at sea at first, and he was said to have a fierce temper.

After profiting from sea trade, he formed a fleet, continued to smuggle smuggled goods and engaged in pirate activities at the same time.

Of course, the maritime merchants in this period were basically merchants and pirates.

Later, this Lu Zheng was valued by a Dongying general and was allowed to be stationed on Wufeng Island in the southwest of Dongying.

Since then, Lu Zheng’s power has grown rapidly, not only rampaging across the sea to plunder merchant ships, but also harassing the coast of Dasong all the year round.

It can be said that there is a faint shadow behind Wufeng Island, which is Dongying.

“How dare you insult the island owner like that!” Yamada Kazuno suddenly struggled and waved to hit Zhao Xu.

Seeing this, the soldiers raised their flintlock guns and beat Yamada Yiye fiercely.

Yamada Kazuno groaned and shouted: “King Yan, you have already attracted the attention of the island owner, just wait, your Yanzhou will become a sea of blood, hahaha…”

“It’s too rampant ” Bai Shang couldn’t take it anymore, he drew his sword and was about to kill Yamada Kazuno.

“Don’t be fooled, he just wants us to give him a good time.” Zhao Xu stopped Bai Shang, “If you want to die, you have to let him pour out everything in his mouth.”

Bai Shang nodded.

At this time, Zhao Xu asked him to prepare some things, and called the executioner in the prison to give him some instructions.

After half an hour.

A loud scream startled a flock of birds.

I saw a bamboo stick inserted into Yamada Kazuno’s finger.

“Hey, it’s really loud, there will be more soon.” Xingtou didn’t change his face.

In prison, he was used to inflicting torture on prisoners, so he didn’t feel much.

On the contrary, it was to show that he was superb in front of King Yan and worked very hard.

“Ah…” Then there was another scream, followed by Kazuno Yamada’s impenetrable curse.

But after the third scream, his tone softened, “I said, I said, I said everything.”

“The general thought he was still a man, but it seems he is still a bear.” Bai Shang sneered.

Zhao Xu had already thought about the questions in his mind and asked them out one by one.

Yamada Kazuno answered dejectedly.

“Your real purpose is indeed the naval department.” Zhao Xu frowned, according to Yamada Kazuno’s confession.

The forty-two ships that disappeared carried 6,000 people to Pingcheng.

“This king has no grievances or enmities with you Wufeng Island, why do you repeatedly oppose this king.” Zhao Xu sternly said.

“The Liang family has long found out that you are building ships and intending to secretly participate in maritime trade. They paid a lot of money to the island owner, and the island owner also does not want you, King Yan, to have a hand in maritime trade.”

“Liang family.” Zhao Xu’s eyes narrowed.

Before, he suspected the Liang family, but he wasn’t sure.

But now from Yamada Ichino’s mouth, he was suddenly outraged.

What he hates the most is when his own people fight, but the other party lures wolves into the house.

Gritting his teeth, he kept this account in his heart, and then asked about Wufeng Island.

Just like the information he had collected, this Lu Zheng was indeed inextricably linked to a shogun in Japan.

Although it is not his subordinate, it is also a cooperation.

Every year, Wufeng Island will give 40% of the harvest to the shogun.

What Lu Zheng got was a warship, a matchlock gun, and Wufeng Island, the pirate base.

In addition, Yamada Kazuno also said something about the sea.

For example, there are several western countries trading with Japan and Dasong.

The warships of these western countries are loaded with artillery, and the soldiers hold flintlock guns, and the ships are strong and powerful.

The countries around the southern ocean were basically occupied and enslaved by them.

The southern part of Yizhou on the other side of the Liang family territory was occupied by the Frangji people, and the northern part was occupied by their Dongying.

“The Liang family has been deceiving your emperor. They have been trading with Western countries, but they have concealed their existence, just to monopolize the dividends of sea trade. They also have a large number of warships, ambitious, hehe…”

Kazuno Yamada In the end, he said that he didn’t know whether this sentence was to state the facts, or to provoke conflicts between him and the Liang family.

“Household thieves, we Dasong will deal with them on our own. You foreign thieves should be exterminated immediately.” Zhao Xu smelled some conspiracy from Yamada Kazuno’s teasing expression.

Yamada Kazuno laughed lowly when he heard the words, “It’s not that easy, your frail Dasong will fall down if the wind blows.”

Then he looked at the flintlock guns carried by the soldiers of the palace, and asked: ” This is a flintlock?”

Bai Shang asked in surprise, “How do you know?”

Yamada Kazuno did not answer him, but stared at Zhao Xu, “King Yan, you are in trouble, come on, give me a good time.” .”

Zhao Xu narrowed his eyes, and he nodded to Bai Shang.

Pulling out his saber, Bai Shang swung it violently, and Kazuno Yamada’s head fell to the ground.

“The rest of the pirates are all executed.” Zhao Xu’s voice was as cold as ice and snow.

Yamada Kazuno’s last words were undoubtedly intimidating him.

It’s just that he has always been soft but not hard.

Because he knows that weakness will only lead to humiliation.

…

Pingcheng.

Montenegro frowned as he looked at the soldiers who were checking at the junction of the two rivers.

After crossing the border of Guan County, they traveled for another day and arrived in Pingcheng.

When they got here, they were less than ten miles away from the naval department in Pingcheng.

It’s just that seeing these soldiers at this moment, he suddenly feels uneasy.

“Vice island owner, what should we do?” asked the captain on the warship.

They had previously received news that there was no inspection at the junction of the Haihe and Dasong canals, only inspections at the pier.

But now things are clearly not right.

“There are still a lot of merchant ships waiting in front, you immediately ask a few clever people to touch the ship’s captain Tan Tan.” Hei Shan said.

He is suspicious by nature, not as reckless as his deputy Yamada Kazuno.

The captain left, and after a while, the three pirates quietly got off the boat and dived to the shore.

The leader is the pirate who is familiar with Yanzhou.

When they landed, they immediately approached the ship’s captain.

Those who had them destroy the battleship provided maps of the nearby waterways, which they knew by heart.

After traveling for half an hour, they arrived near the Naval Division, hiding in the woods on the river bank, secretly watching the warship under construction opposite.

“Have you seen enough?” At this moment, a voice suddenly sounded behind them, and the three of them turned pale with fright.

Turning their heads, they saw a row of soldiers aiming their guns at their heads.

Chang Wei planted a large number of ambushes near the Ship Division.

The appearance of these three people naturally cannot escape their eyes.

They were taken to Changwei’s office at the moment.

“It’s you who said it yourself, or after the torture.” Chang Wei was smiling, but the smile looked sinister.

The pirates from Yanzhou naturally knew what the punishment was.

And on the way here, he heard that after King Yan took charge of Yanzhou, the people of Yanzhou became happy and prosperous.

Back then, when the Yuan family was in charge of Yanzhou, he became a pirate because he couldn’t survive. Hearing this, he was quite shaken.

So he hurriedly said: “My lord, please forgive me, my lord, please forgive me. I will tell you everything. I only hope that my lord will forgive you.”
