Start Being a Vassal King Today - Chapter 508

[Chapter 508 Ambition of the Shogunate]

Dongying, Edo.

Under the guard of two Japanese soldiers, Hua Chen came to the gate of the shogunate.

Looking at the deep courtyard through the gate, Hua Chen’s heart rose.

The shogunate, in Dongying, is an institution under the jurisdiction of General Zhengyi.

It is equivalent to Beidi’s sweat tent.

Since the establishment of the shogunate in Dongying, the power of the emperor has been emptied.

The shogunate represented by General Zhengyi controlled the whole of Japan.

And now the shogunate in Japan is the Watanabe case.

After the notification, Hua Chen was escorted in.

After passing through several corridors, he came to a courtyard.

In the room facing the courtyard, the door was open.

The Great General Watanabe and the Shogun Taro Aso are sitting opposite each other and discussing something.

In front of the gate, there are two rows of soldiers with muskets in hand.

“It was true that Lu Zheng and his ship were defeated by a black shark pirate?” Watanabe was over fifty years old, wearing a samurai uniform, with his hair tied up in a bun, and the front of the bun was shaved.

This is the favorite hairstyle of Japanese nobles.

Hua Chen was observing the Watanabe case. Hearing this, he immediately knelt down.

After the defeat in Yanzhou waters, the warship he was on escaped by chance.

So he headed east and then north to Edo, the capital of Japan.

As soon as he arrived at the port, he was caught by patrolling Japanese soldiers.

So he revealed his identity.

After the soldiers reported, he was able to come to see the Watanabe case.

“It’s absolutely true, our warships loaded with artillery are almost lost, and the life and death of the island owner is uncertain…” Hua Chen spoke quickly, wishing to tell the whole story at once.

The Watanabe case frowned more and more.

During this period of time, he more or less knew something about the rise of a Prince Da Song who was named the King of Yan in Yan State.

He even built artillery and defeated Beidi.

For these rumors, while he was surprised, he was dubious, as if he had heard a story.

But now, the Wufeng Island pirates he secretly supported told him that the Wufeng Island fleet was attacked by sailing warships.

Almost the whole army was wiped out.

“Bastard, are you fooling me?” Watanabe was furious, “This King Yan is just an ordinary prince, how could they build sailing warships.”

“General, the little one didn’t tell a lie , if the general doesn’t believe it, you can send someone to investigate.” Hua Chen’s body fell even lower.

Watanabe’s slightly sunken eyes flicked back and forth, as if thinking about something.

“General, this person doesn’t seem to be lying. After all, no one can defeat Wufeng Island at sea.” The ruling Ma Rotaro said slowly.

He didn’t know Hua Chen, but only met Lu Zheng once.

After all, although they are supporting Wufeng Island, to them, Wufeng Island is just a dog they raise.

In their hearts, the pirates on Wufeng Island are very lowly.

“If that’s the case, this Great Song of King Yan is really surprising.” Watanabe pondered, “I can understand that he can make guns and cannons, but the sailing warships loaded with cannons…”

At this point, he frowned The lock is deeper.

“Unless there are other European countries secretly helping him.” Aso Taro reminded.

Hearing the Watanabe case, his complexion suddenly sank.

What Ma Rotaro said was not unreasonable.

Due to the frequent business exchanges between Japan and the colonists, he still has some understanding of Europa.

At present, the colonists have already completed the division of the New World.

The center of gravity is slowly shifting to the east.

Britain, France, and Ross all have plans to move eastward.

However, it is like grabbing food from the same plate.

There were also conflicts among the colonists.

For example, decades ago, France helped Britain become independent in the New World and established the Kingdom of Sam.

Britain and France once cooperated and launched the Crimean War together to prevent the country of Ross from gaining access to the sea.

And they had the closest contacts with the Stedam people before Dongying.

It was the Britons who took their place.

Therefore, Taro Aso’s inference is not unreasonable.

Otherwise, it would be difficult to explain the sudden rise of King Yan.

“Whoever helps Dasong people is making an enemy of our Dongpu!” Watanabe snorted angrily.

After establishing his own shogunate, his ambition grew day by day, and he always wanted to occupy his own colony like a colonist.

Occupying half of Yizhou was the beginning of his expansion plan.

Especially after he learned that the Dasong Dynasty was getting weaker and weaker, this idea became more and more surprising.

In fact, he is not the only one, there are many big names and feudal lords in the history of Japan who have plans to invade the Central Plains.

First, the territory of Japan is small, and they long for more land.

Secondly, the huge monster beside them always makes them uneasy.

Because of this, they have been condoning the plundering of the Central Plains Dynasty by the Japanese pirates.

There are also daimyo who once occupied Goryeo and used it as a springboard to invade the Central Plains Dynasty.

Despite the failure, they are still the heroes of Japan.

Now, it’s his turn.

The Central Plains Dynasty has once again declined, and this is an excellent opportunity.

Moreover, Dongpu did not ban the sea like Dasong. Although it is not as good as the colonists in terms of firearms, it is definitely better than Dasong.

Perhaps, what the daimyos could not do before will be realized in his hands.

“General, I think this is a good thing.” Ma Rota cleared his throat, “Taking this opportunity, we can now tell the British about the threat from the Great Song. What the British are good at in Europa is balance.” , They will definitely provide us with more help.”

Watanabe nodded slowly, and Ma Rotaro woke him up.

He had always longed to have a battleship like the Britons, and perhaps this time there was hope.

“However, we still need to investigate this King Yan, and we will send more secret operations to Da Song in the future.” Watanabe’s eyes narrowed.   Hua Chen listened for a while, and the two seemed to have forgotten about Wufeng Island. He hurriedly

reminded, “General, please help us get revenge on Wufeng Island.”

, but all of them are flat house boats.

Even if they come out with all their strength and can defeat the Wufeng pirates, it may be a miserable victory.

What’s more, when Lu Zheng attacked the black shark pirate this time, he didn’t get his consent at all.

Dongying and the pirates of Wufeng Island do not have a superior-subordinate relationship, they just cooperate with each other.

There is no need to take risks.

The most important thing is that he wiped out the Black Shark pirates, and how could he still preach the threat of Great Praise to the Britons.

Get what he wants.

“There is a spirit in our Dongpu. Losers are not worthy of living in this world. You Wufeng Island is defeated, and you are not worthy of serving us in Dongpu.” Watanabe cast a sideways glance at Huachen.

Then, he nodded to the maid serving behind him.

The maid brought out a plate, stepped on clogs and walked in front of Hua Chen.

Hua Chen looked over and felt cold from head to toe.

There was nothing else on the plate, but a dagger flashing coldly.

…

Yancheng.

at the same time.

Lu Zheng, who had endured for more than five days, finally couldn’t take it anymore, had a mental breakdown, and told everything he knew.
