Start Being a Vassal King Today - Chapter 588

[Chapter 588 Situation]

Yanzhou.

When Han Zheng secretly contacted the Dongying envoy, Zhao Xu was inspecting military affairs in the three southern counties.

After deciding on a strategy of keeping the same and responding to all changes, he asked Tsui Hark to actively collect information from all parties.

At the same time, Chang Wei also transferred the royal army from Ningcheng to station in Guangning County, Dai County and Fanyang County respectively, leaving only 5,000 people stationed in Yancheng to prepare for any eventuality.

As he planned, Ning Jinjun will be in charge of the defense in the north.

The royal army will deal with the chaos in Dasong.

“Your Highness, at the end of this period, we will send a few scouts to Qizhou to investigate. We found that the county towns and county towns are all heavily guarded, with artillery placed on the city walls, and there are soldiers with matchlock guns patrolling.”

Fan Yang At the top of the city, Chang Wei looked towards Qizhou and said to Zhao Xu.

After a pause, he continued: “When we were investigating Qizhou, the detectives from the Han family also crossed the border to check on us many times.”

Zhao Xu nodded and patted the cannon in front of him.

In addition to leading the soldiers of the royal family to the three southern counties, Chang Wei also brought a lot of artillery.

Unlike dealing with Beidi, you only need to guard Yanguan and the bastions in Yanshan.

To the south of Yanzhou is Yimapingchuan.

This means that if the Han family attacks Yanzhou, they can come from anywhere.

There is no danger for them.

Therefore, at the moment, they are defending important cities with heavy troops. At the same time, they use the county town as a corner to deploy a small number of troops to prevent the opponent from suddenly attacking.

“This king’s repeated victories against Beidi made them rely more on firearms.” Zhao Xu said lightly.

The Shizu’s love for firearms surprised him, but it was also within his expectation.

In contemporary history, apart from the fact that the Qing Dynasty was afraid of being controlled by the Han people who were regarded as slaves, threatening their own rule, and thus suppressing the development of firearms.

Any Han dynasty attached great importance to firearms.

During the Ming Dynasty, Daming’s firearms belonged to the first echelon in the world.

But when it came to the Opium War, the firearms of the Qing Dynasty did not make any progress, and they were finally beaten by the British.

When it came to the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom Movement, the Taiping Army attached great importance to firearms. They not only bought advanced firearms from foreigners, but also spent a lot of money to ask Western craftsmen to help them manufacture firearms.

So much so that Li Hongzhang lamented that the firearms of the Taiping Army were more advanced than theirs.

All of the above are enough to show that the people of the Central Plains are good at accepting new affairs.

Although the power clans are blood-sucking worms of the Central Plains, they are also part of the Central Plains after all.

It is not surprising that they quickly installed firearms, not to mention that they still have the threat of Yanzhou.

“Indeed, they are very smart.” Chang Wei glanced at his mouth.

Then thought of something, Chang Wei said: “Your Highness, the Dou family established Nanliang, and the Xie family supported the eldest prince to ascend the throne in Jinling. I don’t know how many people will become kings and emperors in the future. The world will not be peaceful in the future.

” , when each family is just established and before they have the energy to start a war, take Jinzhou and Sizhou, so as not to fight in full swing and face enemies from the west. After all, the Ma family’s loyalty to His Highness is questionable, and the sixth prince… ”

Speaking of this, Chang Wei stopped talking, he knew that King Yan was better than him.

“My king understands what you mean. When I return to Yancheng this time, I will integrate Jinzhou and Sizhou to ensure that the west side of King Yan is safe and sound.”

Zhao Xu narrowed his eyes, and people’s hearts are floating in the troubled world. .

What is not in your own hands is always insecure.

Now is the time to make a final test of the Ma family.

In addition, it is Jinzhou.

It has been a while since the sixth prince arrived in Jinzhou.

During this period of time, he has been recruiting soldiers and horses, looking like he wants to make a difference.

But what he didn’t know was that, except for the thousand bodyguards he brought from Jinling, 90% of his newly recruited soldiers were in Cao Ying and their hearts were in Han.

As long as he gives an order, these soldiers will rise up.

At present, with the application of steam engines in various industries in Yanzhou, the consumption of coal has increased greatly. How could he hand over such an important place of Jinzhou to others.

Furthermore, according to the information provided by Tsui Hark, the six princes also had correspondence with Yuan Li.

I really don’t know how to write the word “dead”.

He chatted with Chang Wei about the current situation, and in the next few days, he and Chang Wei inspected Guangning County and Dai County.

When he returned to Yancheng, his butt was still warm.

Tsui Hark sent two more important pieces of news to the palace.

“Wu country?” Zhao Xu glanced at the document.

This is the news that has just been sent to Yancheng, Liang Kai has established a state in Lincheng.

In this way, the false Songs established by Nanliang, Wu State, and the Xie family appeared on the territory of Dasong.

Zhao Heng is still in Yancheng before he dies, and he will not admit that the First Prince is a fake emperor.

“This is news from Qingcheng, Qizhou. Han Zheng met three Dongying people in the Dongying Commercial Hall. After returning to Lucheng, Han Zheng asked people to prepare for the founding of the country.” Xu Ke said.

Zhao Xu was slightly surprised, when he analyzed with Mi Zhuang, he didn’t consider the factor of Dongying people.

But what guarantee did Dongying give Han Zheng, so that Han Zheng had the courage to establish a country?

“This Dongying is really as restless as the contemporary Japanese country.” Zhao Xu slapped the table heavily.

In contemporary times, the Japanese country in history has always been in two extreme states of arrogance and inferiority.

In the Battle of Baijiangkou in the Tang Dynasty, the Japanese Kingdom suffered a disastrous defeat. After seeing the tall warships of the Tang Dynasty, they frantically sent people to the Tang Dynasty to steal their teachers. They did not dare to covet the Central Plains Dynasty for thousands of years.

At that time, the Japanese country was extremely inferior.

During the Ming Dynasty, after the Japanese mastered the iron cannon, that is, the matchlock gun, they swelled up and dared to formulate a plan to invade North Korea and destroy Ming Dynasty.

During the Korean War, they were brutally abused by the Ming Dynasty, and the Wa country fell silent again for more than three hundred years.

After the Meiji Restoration, he encountered the good-for-nothing Daqing again, and his ambitions swelled infinitely.

What happened next, needless to say.

Therefore, after Zhao Xu got to know Dongying in this world, he concluded that Dongying would devote all its power to take advantage of Dasong’s decline, and wage a war on the scale of the national fortune with Dasong.

This eulogizing of the civil strife is probably the beginning of his betting on the country’s fortune.

But it can only be considered that Dongpu was unlucky to meet him Yan Wang Zhaoxu.

Next, he will definitely let Dongpu understand what fear is.

“Let go of me, I want to see His Royal Highness King Yan, woo woo…” The

two were talking, when suddenly there was a burst of crying.

Zhao Xu frowned upon hearing this, and called Feng’er in.

“What happened? Who was crying in front of the palace.” Zhao Xu asked.

Feng’er heard the words, and smiled helplessly, “As soon as your Highness came back, she went into the study room. Before the servant could tell, this person just escaped from the south. After being shut down by the emperor, he made a fuss in the palace, saying that he was Some prince of the Ryukyu Kingdom, I beg Your Highness to help Ryukyu restore the country.”

“Ryukyu Kingdom.” Zhao Xu thought for a while, his eyes lit up slightly.

He was thinking about Dongpu’s affairs, and a chance of dealing with Dongpu came to him as justice fell from the sky.
