Start Being a Vassal King Today - Chapter 524
[Chapter 524 A Play]
“We want the Beidi people to believe that their plot has succeeded.” Zhao Xu said.
Chang Wei was stunned for a moment and frowned, “It’s just that unless smallpox really spread in Yanzhou, how can Beidi believe it?”
Then, he suddenly remembered something, “Your Highness, the outbreak of pox this time is very similar to smallpox… …”
Zhao Xu nodded with a smile, human smallpox is actually smallpox mutation in animals, adapted to the human body.
So the symptoms of illness are similar.
This time at Yanguan, some soldiers who reacted heavily even had pustules on their faces.
If outsiders saw him, they would think he really had smallpox.
Therefore, they are fully able to use this vaccination to direct a scene.
Let merchants spread the word.
Especially Yanguan and Bastion, the movement is going to be even bigger.
“However, although your prince’s family and army are the protagonists in this scene, you also need supporting roles such as government officials, so that you can really perform this scene well.” Zhao Xu said to Chang Wei.
Then, he and Chang Wei went straight back to the palace.
He called Liu Fu and Mi Wen over, and told them about his next plan.
“Remember, the selected officials must be absolutely trustworthy, and there must be no mistakes.” Zhao Xu looked solemn.
In addition to falsifying the large-scale infection of Yanguan and Bastion, he also wanted to fake smallpox and spread it among the people.
So Liu Fu selected some officials to secretly go to the countryside to vaccinate the villagers, pretending that there was a plague in the village.
At the same time, he also selected several counties.
“Yes, Your Highness, it’s just that. I’m afraid it will have a big impact on commerce. Merchants from other states may not dare to enter Yanzhou.” Liu Fu smiled wryly.
“There are gains and losses. Dealing with Beidi is relatively more important. And once the war is over, the king will announce that Yanzhou has mastered the method of vaccination and can prevent smallpox.”
Zhao Xu naturally considered this issue.
But after thinking about it, he must exchange temporary losses for long-term gains.
And, when the time came, he would announce that he had mastered the cure for smallpox.
I’m afraid that there will be an endless stream of merchants and dignitaries who will go to Yanzhou to get vaccinated.
Maybe he could make a fortune out of cowpox and recover his losses.
Mi Wen seemed to have thought of something with Zhao Xu, he said: “Liu Wangfu, this kind of acne method is priceless, from chaos to great order, it is a good time to publicize the magic of vaccination method, and it will benefit Yanzhou a lot in the future.”
Zhao Xu gave Mi Wen an appreciative look, and said to him: “Your publicity department also has a task, to cooperate with the government to publish in newspapers about the smallpox epidemic in a certain village, in short, create a tense atmosphere.”
“Your Highness Don’t worry, this subordinate is good at it.” Mi Wen looked relaxed.
Since taking charge of the Propaganda Department, he has been like a fish in water.
Whether it is newspapers or propaganda in the countryside, these are his interests.
After deciding on this matter, Zhao Xu asked the three of them to go back and prepare separately.
Beidi shot arrows to the top of Yanguan city two days ago.
In another six or seven days, the scene can begin.
“Your Highness, according to the news sent by Zhou Yi, they are ready. They have already marched towards Nanpu Port, and the attack on Korea has begun.” The
three of them had just left when Xu Hark arrived at the palace.
Due to the particularity of Zhou Yi’s identity, the fourth hospital was temporarily in charge of the previous contact between Zhao Xu and Zhou Yi.
“Very good, this time the real contest between the King and Mu Lehong has really begun.” Zhao Xu said.
He asked Zhou Yi to attack Goryeo, one is to open up commercial routes in Goryeo, and the other is to reduce Beidi’s influence on Goryeo.
It can be regarded as a subsidiary part of his competition with Beidi for the image of this region.
Even if Zhou Yi and the others can’t make Goryo completely surrender, he wants Goryo to change from being a firm supporter of Beidi to being a leader and a rat at both ends.
Thinking of this, he said again: “In this period of time, we will step up the investigation of Ningjindusi. This king will send you some hot air balloons to assist you.”
“Thank you, Your Highness.” up.
The success of the hot air balloon soldiers in exploring the Beidi camp made him even more unable to restrain himself.
He wanted to take the opportunity to mention this matter, but he didn’t expect King Yan to take the initiative.
Once this thing is in place, the people from the Fourth Academy can sneak into Ningjindusi through a hot air balloon. At this time, Zhao Xu suddenly remembered Chai Wu who had disappeared for a long time, so he
asked: “Is there any news about Chai Wu?
”
“Taking advantage of Zhou Yi’s attack on Goryeo this time, your four courts should try to strengthen their penetration into Goryeo. It is best to keep abreast of the movements of Goryeo’s court in time. In this way, it will be much easier to find Chai Wu.”
“Yes, Your Highness.” Tsui Hark’s expression became resolute.
He will definitely not waste this opportunity.
…
Nanpu Port.
It is located one hundred and twenty miles southeast of the capital city of Koryo.
The largest river in Koryo, the Puhe River, runs through Rangseong, meanders all the way, and enters the sea here.
Because Ancheng Port is very close to Yanzhou and Beidi.
Therefore, the Koryo Navy has been stationed in Ancheng.
But for Korea, the most prosperous place is Nampo Wharf.
Here, merchants gathered and transported their goods to Dongying or further south through merchant ships.
At this moment, above the sea, Zhou Yi was observing Nanpu Wharf through a telescope.
“There are a lot of Korean soldiers patrolling the pier, and the berths are basically merchant ships. There are only a few small boats carrying Korean soldiers who are inspecting the passing merchant ships.” Bai Shang put down the binoculars, “It’s time to clean up the Korean soldiers.”
For him It can be said that the crimes committed by the Koreans against Dasong are no less than that of Beidi.
When Beidi attacked Ningjindusi, there was an army of Goryeo.
Because of this, after taking Ningjindusi, Beidi acquiesced in the Dasong territory that Goryeo invaded.
In the next ten years, the Koryo navy continued to attack Yanzhou fishermen at sea, and owed a blood debt.
Become Beidi’s accomplice, build ships for Beidi, and attack Yanzhou from the sea.
This time, he teamed up with the Wufeng pirates to try to destroy them.
And so on, he now hates Goryeo.
Zhou Yi nodded and put down the binoculars as well.
He was sure of one thing, since the last time the Koryo navy was eliminated, the Koryo waters were really undefended for them.
Looking at the flying black shark flag, he said to Bai Shang: “From now on, we are black shark pirates.”
When he spoke, his eyes showed a cold light.
King Yan had told them when he asked him to command the fleet.
There is no need to be kind to the enemy, and when necessary, even do some black work.
Otherwise, how can they be called black shark pirates.
Pointing to the Nanpu Pier, he yelled at the crew and soldiers: “Brothers, now is the time for revenge. This time we will rob the Nanpu Pier completely and make the whole of Korea tremble in front of us.”
“Kill! Kill! Kill…” On the
battleship, the soldiers immediately shouted, with satisfaction and fanaticism in their eyes.
