Start Being a Vassal King Today - Chapter 432
[Chapter 432 Base]
choppy.
The desperate cries of Beidi soldiers were mixed with the impact of sea water on the rocks.
Zhou Yi led the soldiers and quickly arrested the Beidi general appointed by Zhao Xu.
It seemed that he drank a lot of sea water. The moment Beidi boarded the ship, he threw himself on the deck and vomited.
After vomiting for a while, he looked fiercely at Zhao Xu who was sitting on the chair, and shouted, “Who are you? Do you know who you provoked? This is the Beidi fleet!”
Zhao Xu completely ignored the hysteria of the Beidi general.
At this moment, he was wearing a golden mask on his face.
This is to hide your identity.
In the future, Zhou Yi and other admirals will wear masks to conceal their identities when they are in contact with important people.
After all, their identities to the outside world are pirates from now on, and it is not appropriate to show their faces.
He looked at General Beidi with great interest, and asked casually, “Are you called Ulanba?”
When he scouted the entire battlefield with a telescope, he discovered that this general was unusual at first sight.
In addition to serving more noble than other generals.
When he was struggling at sea, the Beidi generals around him dragged him up one by one in order to protect him, even if he was about to drown.
Because of this, the general survived.
Therefore, he guessed that this person might be Ulan Ba, the commander-in-chief of Beidi going south this time.
When Wulanba heard this, his expression changed obviously.
But he couldn’t judge what Zhao Xu would do next, so he chose to remain silent.
Zhao Xu sneered, “If you don’t say anything, I will take it as your acquiescence. Next, I will hand you over to King Yan of Dasong.”
Ulanba turned pale when he heard the words, he stared at Zhao Xu, and almost squeezed out a sentence, “Who the hell are you? Do you know the consequences of provoking me, Beidi?”
“On the ocean, everyone calls me For Master Jiu.” Zhao Xu got up and came to him, “I don’t know what the consequences of provoking Beidi people are, but I know very well what the consequences are of you Beidi people provoking me.”
“We Beidi have never provoked you before.” Ulan Ba was angry and panicked at the same time, he had never heard of Jiu Ye.
“Annoying the people of Dasong is provoking me. Although my ninth master is a pirate, he is from Dasong. How could he just watch you invade Yanzhou?” Zhao Xu yelled angrily, and acted.
The establishment of armed caravans was covert.
So there is no armed caravan on the surface.
The establishment of the fleet is also secretly, so on the surface he does not have a fleet either.
These days, he feels more and more that it is better to have a dark fleet than a bright fleet.
In this way, some things that are inconvenient to do on the bright side can be done secretly without causing other troubles.
“So that’s how it is. I didn’t expect that I, Ulan Ba, would end up in the hands of pirates after all my plans.” Ulan Ba laughed miserably.
Zhao Xu sneered a few times, and asked Zhou Yi to have Wulanba taken down.
“Your Highness, I’m really relieved. I didn’t expect to catch Ulan Ba this time.” Zhou Yi lowered his voice, but his body trembled uncontrollably.
Zhao Xu looked at the sea battlefield that stretched for more than ten miles.
Within a radius of ten miles, there are warships that are sinking everywhere.
Or the broken planks left behind after a warship sank.
The bodies of Beidi soldiers were like leaves falling into the water, densely packed, undulating with the waves.
The picture is very cruel, but it can’t make any waves in Zhao Xu’s heart.
If this horse lands in Yanzhou, the people of Yanzhou will die.
Kindness to the enemy is cruelty to oneself.
The barbarians are fearful of power but not virtuous. They don’t understand benevolence, justice, propriety, wisdom and faith.
Forbearance will be regarded as weakness by them.
Bullying will come and go even worse.
In contemporary history, the Central Plains dynasty’s compromises in the face of foreign invasions, whether it was marriage or annual tribute, did not bring about peace.
In the end, it was still a battle.
“In the future, there will only be more and more wars to relieve your anger.” Zhao Xu withdrew his gaze.
Thinking of something, he reminded: “Don’t call your Highness on the battleship, I am now Lord Nine.”
“Yes, Lord Nine.” Zhou Yi scratched his head.
Thinking of something, Zhao Xu continued: “I’m afraid your reputation will be ruined in this battle. In the future, warships will no longer be able to enter Yanzhou. Choose an island as your foothold, just like the pirates on Wufeng Island. Also give yourself a famous name.”
Zhou Yi nodded.
It is no problem for the crew and generals on the battleship to set foot on the land of the four northern counties.
The four northern counties are their territory, and those who travel day and night can cover their tracks.
But the battleship is not easy to hide.
It’s just time to go to sea, and you can go without being discovered by taking advantage of the night.
But when entering the inland river, it is bound to stop, so it will be exposed.
“Your Highness, no, Master Jiu, why not choose Pearl Island.” Zhou Yi thought for a while.
This place is very close to the North Four Counties, which is convenient for supplies. At the same time, it can control all the nearby sea areas, so that it is impossible for Beidi and Gaoli to make any troubles through the sea.
“No.” Zhao Xu shook his head.
This pearl island is located between Laoting County and Ancheng Port.
It is about 80 miles away from Laoting, and about 200 miles away from Ancheng Port.
It’s just that the island is too small to accommodate the ever-expanding navy.
Now that we have chosen a place this time, we must choose a strategic location.
After thinking for a while, he said: “Lead the fleet to go east along the coastline of Koryo. In the waters between Koryo and Dongying, you will encounter a large island, about the size of a county, and then choose there .”
The place he mentioned is actually the contemporary Jeju Island in South Korea.
The island is located under the beak of the chicken, like a grain of rice.
He had his own considerations in choosing this place.
For fleets, warships can carry a lot of supplies, so there is no need to get too close.
Just set up a supply point at an appropriate distance.
Therefore, the location of contemporary Jeju Island is just right for him.
Furthermore, it is important that this island is very close to Koryo and Japan, which is very suitable as a transit point for trade.
“When you find this island, you name it Treasure Island.” Zhao Xu continued.
In this era, the islands in the sea have no ownership.
Just like landing on the moon and landing on Mars in modern times, whoever occupies it will own it.
In contemporary times, the Central Plains Dynasty missed the era of great navigation.
This has reduced most of the islands above the sea to the territory of Western countries.
Although these islands are on the doorstep of other countries, they can only be admired.
The jungle of the world is so cruel.
Under the cloak of civilization, there is a heart of a beast.
The enemy is willing to reason with you only because you are strong enough and they can’t do anything to you.
As long as you are weak, powerful countries will swarm up and eat you.
Even in the contemporary so-called twenty-first century, this is still the case.
They just learned to glorify their atrocities through the media.
