Start Being a Vassal King Today - Chapter 433

[Chapter 433 To Save or Not to Save]

“Treasure Island? It’s a good name, and the wealth is endless.” Zhou Yi smacked his lips and laughed.

He knew very well that King Yan’s real purpose of building this fleet was still for trade.

In the future, he will cooperate with the merchants to bring a steady stream of wealth to the four northern counties, and he is qualified as the admiral of the navy.

Zhao Xu smiled, “As for your names…”

He glanced at the shark churning in the sea, “It’s called the Black Shark Pirate.”

“Domineering.” Zhou Yi and Gong Ying looked at each other and laughed.

Gong Ying seemed to have doubts, and said: “Your Highness, even so, I’m afraid we can’t completely cover up our relationship with His Highness.”

Zhao Xu nodded, “That’s true, but this is enough. If the king doesn’t admit it, you will also If they don’t admit it, even if they have suspicions in their hearts, they can only stare blankly.”

In contemporary times, the privateers in the Age of Discovery were first created by Britain.

In order to deal with the enemies of Spain and the Netherlands in maritime trade.

Although Queen Elizabeth personally created these privateers, the official relationship with them is not recognized at all.

Other countries can only smash their teeth and swallow them in their stomachs, and can only build their own privateer fleets to fight against them.

Now he and Zhou Yi’s Black Shark Pirates also have a reason.

He builds warships and trains admirals and soldiers, but he just doesn’t recognize that this is his own power.

Even if someone impeached him in court, he would not admit it.

If they have the ability, they will destroy the Black Shark pirates themselves.

“That’s right.” Gong Ying nodded. In this way, they can do things more freely.

Anyway, King Yan is their confidence.

After discussing this matter, Zhao Xu ordered Zhou Yi to send him back to the coast.

At this moment, Beidi soldiers who survived at sea came to the shore under the impact of the waves.

They lost their helmets and unarmored, very embarrassed, and all of them looked like drowned rats.

And when they climbed onto the beach, they found that Dasong soldiers were already waiting for them.

When the wolf-like soldiers of Dasong saw them, they couldn’t help but beat them violently, then tied them up with ropes, and escorted them away in groups.

Zhao Xu took a small boat and watched Da Song catch Beidi soldiers on the beach like he was catching pigs.

When they arrived at the beach, Bai Shang immediately led the troops over.

“Your Highness, it’s wonderful.” Bai Shang blushed.

Just now he and the soldiers watched the naval battle.

More than 300 Beidi warships looked menacing.

But under the attack of the twelve royal warships, they were as vulnerable as babies, and Beidi warships sank to the bottom of the sea one after another.

The generals around Bai Shang also had their eyes shining.

This battle was fought so refreshingly.

The Wangfu warships were completely one-sided in attacking Beidi.

With the sinking of the Beidi warship, the pride in their hearts continued to rise.

Zhao Xu laughed.

There is no doubt that this naval battle will make the soldiers of the palace more confident when facing Beidi.

He said: “Since this is the case, I hope that one day you can fight like these warships. The Beidi cavalry has no power to fight back.”

“Yes, Your Highness.” Bai Shang and the generals shouted loudly.

Zhao Xu nodded, and looked at the Beidi soldiers who were constantly being washed up on the beach by the waves, “Go on catching pigs.” After finishing speaking,

he left the beach under Xu Lie’s protection.

At the same time, Zhou Yi was ordered to hand over Ulan Ba to Bai Shang, and then let Bai Shang be escorted to Yancheng.

Spent the night in Laoting.

In the early morning of the next day, Bai Shang reported the number of prisoners he had captured.

“Your Highness, we captured a total of 36,000 prisoners this time.”

“It’s a pity, otherwise the mine would have had a lot more labor.” Zhao Xu said.

He deliberately chose the battlefield near the beach in order to capture as many prisoners as possible.

When attacking Beidi warships, Zhou Yi and the others did not aim to kill Beidi soldiers.

Often when the ship sinks, they attack the next one.

It’s just that Beidi soldiers’ water skills are really bad.

Most still drowned.

“Temporarily detain these captives in Leting, and government officials will come to collect them.” Zhao Xu said.

After returning to Yancheng, he will ask Liu Fu to make unified arrangements to send people wherever they are needed.

After explaining this matter, Zhao Xu said to Bai Shang: “In addition, store up the soldiers and horses at the junction of the southern part of Ping County and Fanyang County. When I get the evidence, I will clean up the Yuan family.

” Not forgotten.

Yuan Li encouraged the wealthy families of the two counties to flee and took a lot of wealth with them.

Now when Yuan Li went south from Beidi, he did this kind of colluding with the enemy and traitorous country again.

This time, even if he couldn’t kill Yuan Li, he still had to cut off ten catties of flesh from Yuan Li.

“Yes, Your Highness.” Bai Shang replied yes, and then he said: “Your Highness, the Beidi soldiers who came south from the sea have been wiped out, but how to deal with the Beidi army outside Yanguan?”

This naval battle made his hands itchy, very I want to fight Beidi on land.

Zhao Xu shook his head, “At sea, Beidi failed, and the two Beidi royal tents outside Yanguan have no threat to Yanguan. There is no need for soldiers to die in vain. Besides, Beidi’s battle situation is unknown, so it is not easy to act rashly.

” , Beidi has artillery and cavalry.

He is confident that the royal army will win, but he will also pay a certain percentage of casualties.

Furthermore, Beidi cavalry can’t win, they can run.

As far as infantry is concerned, even if they win on the battlefield, they cannot pursue and complete the mission of total annihilation.

If it goes too deep, the supply line will become fragile and easy to stumble.

Moreover, he only solved the crisis in Yanzhou.

But the battle in the Northwest is also very important.

If something goes wrong, Da Song’s situation will deteriorate dramatically.

Before that, he already knew that Zhao Heng kept advancing under the instigation of the second prince.

This is an extremely dangerous signal.

Once Beidi and Xiliang really set up a trap near Yongzhou, the Emperor Dasong might not be able to escape.

At that time, no matter whether the emperor is captured or killed, there will be a bloody storm in Dasong.

It doesn’t make any sense for him to win in Yanzhou.

Thinking of this, he decided to go back to Yancheng to wait for the news so that he could respond at any time.

At noon two days later, he arrived in Yancheng.

Before reaching the city gate, he saw Liu Fu hurriedly leading a soldier of the imperial army.

After saluting, Liu Fu said anxiously: “His Royal Highness came back too timely. The official was about to send someone to deliver a letter to His Highness. There was a big disturbance in the northwest, and the Northern Expedition was caught in the trap. Now the emperor is trapped in Xiancheng. This When Tanma came to Yanzhou, Old General Yang was fighting fiercely with Beidi in Yongcheng.”

“Something happened.” Zhao Xu frowned.

“His Royal Highness King Yan, Your Majesty, please lead the troops to Qinzhou to rescue him quickly.” The soldiers of the Imperial Army knelt down on one knee, “If it is too late, it will be too late.”

Zhao Xu frowned even more when he heard this.

After winning the naval battle, although he was happy, he always felt a little unhappy.

The source of unhappiness is the war in the northwest.

Now, this trouble finally came to him.
