Start Being a Vassal King Today - Chapter 505

[Chapter 505 Center of Gravity]

“Your Highness, this is Lu Zheng, the owner of Wufeng Island.” In the

front yard of the palace, Lu Zheng was pinned to the ground by two soldiers.

After returning to Laoting Wharf, Zhou Yi personally detained Lu Zheng and sent him to Yancheng.

In this naval battle, they shattered the conspiracy of Goryeo, Shizu and Wufeng Island.

Among the three, Wufeng Island was the real threat to them.

Now, the fleet of Wufeng Island was defeated by them, and the owner of the island, Lu Zheng, was also arrested.

He was naturally excited and wanted to ask for praise in front of him.

“Lu Zheng?” Zhao Xu was slightly surprised, he was confident that Zhou Yi could handle this crisis.

But he didn’t expect that he even caught Lu Zheng, nodded lightly, and said, “Zhou Yi, you did a good job. I didn’t mistake you at the beginning.”

Zhou Yi was so happy when he heard that.

What he hopes most is the approval of King Yan.

After all, he and Liu Fu entered the palace at the same time.

Now that Liu Fu is the prince of the palace, he doesn’t want to be left too far behind.

Otherwise, it would be too embarrassing in front of Liu Fu.

“It’s still the battleships built by His Highness are amazing. Whether it’s the warships of Goryeo or the warships of Wufeng Island, they are nothing but chickens and dogs in front of us…” Zhou Yi was still in the excitement of victory, spitting all over the place.

“Hmph, the black shark pirate is indeed your King Yan’s eagle dog!”

Zhou Yi still said to himself, but Lu Zheng suddenly looked at Zhao Xu, snorted angrily, with a fierce look on his face.

Zhao Xu and Zhou Yi’s attention returned to Lu Zheng again.

Looking at Lu Zheng up and down, Zhao Xu said: “It doesn’t matter that the black shark pirates are my king’s eagle dogs, but they are fighting for the interests of the Dasong people, and you are just a murderous fellow who has forgotten his ancestors and is willing to give to Dongying.” Just be the scum of a dog!”

“You…”

King Yan’s words were like needles, and Lu Zheng was immediately annoyed, but he couldn’t say a word of rebuttal.

Because everything Yan Wang said was true.

“What are you, what is this king saying? You are not forced to, and you are not persecuted by others. You just want the glory and wealth that Dongying gives you. To put it bluntly, you just want to eat the dog food that Dongying gives you!” Zhao Xu scolded loudly.

“I’ll kill you!” After all,

Lu Zheng was a pirate and a desperado.

Annoyed, he immediately tried to break free from the soldiers like a mad dog and attacked Zhao Xu.

Seeing this, Xu Lie snorted angrily and kicked Lu Zheng in the stomach.

Lu Zheng suddenly curled up like a shrimp, breaking out in a cold sweat from the pain.

Zhou Yi glanced at Xu Lie, and couldn’t help feeling a little apprehensive in his heart.

The personal bodyguard of His Royal Highness King Yan is really skilled.

“Take it down for interrogation, and extract all the information that can be obtained.” Zhao Xu shouted.

“You don’t want to get a word out of my mouth.” Lu Zheng still refused to give in, and said through gritted teeth.

“The last person who spoke harsh words like you, now even speaks out what he did when he was three years old.” Zhao Xu sneered.

The Black Iron Guard’s deputy commander, Drog, was indeed very hard-spoken at first.

Various punishments were applied, but nothing was said.

Later, he decided to try a seemingly mild, but actually very cruel punishment.

It is to let the guards look at him day and night, neither beating nor scolding, but just not letting him sleep.

After staying up for five days and nights, this “tough guy” almost went crazy, and finally honestly poured out everything he knew.

It also verified the fact that the Yuan family indeed colluded with Beidi.

It’s just that, as he said, to praise the current situation, the facts are not important, the most important thing is who has the final say.

Therefore, he did not waste time and continued to make a fuss.

“Really? I’d like to see what you, King Yan, are capable of!” Lu Zheng laughed evilly.

Zhao Xu didn’t bother to pay attention to him anymore, he just waved his hand and asked the soldiers to take Lu Zheng away.

“Your Highness, on the way back, the general also destroyed the Han family warship at the Lai County Wharf.” Zhou Yi said after waiting for the news of Lu Zheng’s figure.

Zhao Xu nodded, “Very well, it’s time to give these powerful families a little color, don’t think that they can rest easy if you offend this king.”

Then, he said: “But recently, you black sharks The range of activities of the pirates is limited to the west of Treasure Island, don’t continue to go to Dongying, and focus on Korea.”

“Your Highness is worried about Dongying?” Zhou Yi was puzzled.

In fact, when he saw the warship of the Black Shark pirates, he understood it.

The Wufeng Pirates, like their Black Shark Pirates, are dark forces supported by each other.

They belonged to King Yan, while the Wufeng pirates belonged to Dongying.

This time the Wufeng pirates were defeated, which meant that they had broken Dongpu’s arm.

Hearing this, Zhao Xu rolled his eyes, “Who has this king been afraid of? But you always have to eat in one bite, and the steps are too big, and it is easy to mess up.”

After a pause, he continued: “The original intention of this king to clean up Goryeo is not just In order to teach Koryo a lesson, the main purpose is to import goods from Yanzhou and get the resources needed from Koryo, not to fight for the sake of fighting.”

This is a question of strategic direction, and the current focus is on Beidi, Koryo, and Dasong.

There is no need to burn the flames of war further.

Zhou Yi was stunned.

He almost forgot that he belonged to Black Shark Firm.

At present, the threat from Beidi has not been lifted, and the domestic situation in Dasong has become severe again.

Once the power and family tear themselves apart, cut off domestic commerce and restrict resources, Yanzhou will be in trouble.

Therefore, their most important task is to find alternative markets and resource supply places for Yanzhou.

If it is just fighting and killing, it will consume a lot of resources without benefit.

The fleet will only become a heavy burden for King Yan.

This is why King Yan decided not to waste resources on Dongying.

“Yes, Your Highness, I finally understand.” Zhou Yi said.

“Let the sailors rest for a few days, and then we will pay back the debts Koryo owed over the years.” Zhao Xu laughed.

Zhou Yi hecked twice, looking expectant.

After Zhou Yi left, Zhao Xu looked in the direction of Dongying.

He doesn’t know much about Japan in this world.

However, judging from the little information obtained, Japan in this world did not follow the Dasong Forbidden Sea, and there are still many exchanges with the West.

This makes Dongying’s technical level higher than that of Dasong.

Wufeng Island has warships loaded with artillery as proof.

But colonists have never been good stubble.

He believes that Japan will not get any important technology.

This is why old flat house boats are still used on Wufeng Island.

Therefore, defeating Wufeng Island this time will give Dongpu enough shock.

Before finding out his details, he shouldn’t act rashly.

Of course, this victory will also bring corresponding negative effects.

The name of Black Shark Pirates will surely spread further.

More people will see it as a threat.

But there is no way to do it. In the age of great navigation, the most cruel thing is the struggle for maritime supremacy.

This is the price he must pay for going to the ocean and developing maritime trade.

Just as he was thinking, Feng’er notified Tsui Hark to come over.

Withdrawing his reverie, he let Tsui Hark in.

Not long after, Tsui Hark quickly walked up to him.

Look gloomy, it seems that there is bad news.
