Start Being a Vassal King Today - Chapter 617

[Chapter 617 Dongying Strategy]

“Who is Dongying sending this time?”

Deciding to respond to the attack on the merchant ship, Fei Wen got up and walked outside, looking towards the north gate of Marka City.

“It’s our old friend, Shin Ishida.” Steven said, crossing his arms.

“Oh? Let him come to my office. It’s time to talk about this issue.” Fei Wen said after pondering for a while.

Steven nodded, turned and walked out.

Not long after, a person from Dongying came in under the guidance of Steven. He was Nobu Ishida, the head of the Foreign Affairs Office of Dongying.

When Mahisa Sato spread the news to the shogunate that Yan Wang’s firearms were better than Dongying, General Watanabe called the shogunate generals and officials to discuss the matter.

In the end, they decided that Dongying should immediately prepare for war, recruit more soldiers, and at the same time step up the construction of sailing warships in the inland river.

Moreover, the shogunate also decided to increase the threat of publicizing the King of Yan to the Western countries that have colonies in the East, and win them over to build a maritime alliance against the King of Yan in the Eastern Seas.

In addition, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs will also send envoys to the Western Land to seek more advanced technology.

“Governor Fei Wen, long time no see.” Coming to the table, Ishida Shino bowed to Fei Wen, bending his body at ninety degrees.

“It has indeed been a long time.” Fei Wen nodded, made a gesture of invitation, and signaled Ishida Shin to sit down.

The last time he saw Ishida Nobu was two years ago.

Sitting opposite each other, he made a cup of coffee for Ishida Nobuo, and said slowly: “I sympathize with you for the fact that the Japanese merchant ship was also attacked by black shark pirates.”

Ishida Nobuo took the ceramic coffee cup with both hands . , sighed deliberately: “I also feel sad for what happened to the Franji merchant ship. Just sympathy or sadness can’t change the threat to our trade routes.”

After a pause, he continued: “In order to prevent this kind of thing from happening again, we must unite as one and eliminate the Black Shark Haikou, the lackey who praises King Yan.”

“King Yan?” Fei Wen frowned.

In the past year, he has heard this name more than once.

And the most associated with this name is the Black Shark Pirates, a sea force with sailing warships.

At first, he didn’t believe the news.

After all, in his opinion, it is impossible for the countries in the east to have the ability to build such large sailing warships.

But after more and more merchant ships witnessed it with their own eyes, he no longer doubted it.

Instead, he actively investigated which European country supported this King Yan, so that in a short period of time, the manufacturing skills of both firearms and warships have been developed by leaps and bounds.

But so far, he has found nothing.

Although he was puzzled by this, he could only accept that in the Eastern Continent, an industrial region similar to the European countries was rising.

And try to avoid conflicts with King Yan who controls this area.

It was just this incident that pushed him to the forefront.

He had to show the king of Yan the attitude of a Franji man, and he had to pay the price.

Thinking of this, he said: “This is also my idea, but I’m afraid it’s not enough to deal with the black shark pirates with our strength alone. The merchant ships of the Stedan people have also been attacked. It is necessary for them to take action with us.”

Ishida Shin smiled, “It’s a coincidence, the next place I’m going to is Yajia City.”

Fei Wen shrugged, “Great, since that’s the case, I’m here waiting for your good news.”

Ishida Nobu Nodding his head, as long as Frangji agrees, the Sterdan people should have no problem.

After chatting for a while, Fei Wen stayed with Ishida Shinobu for lunch.

In the afternoon, Ishida Nobu left Marka City.

Steven sent Shi Tianxin to the north gate, waved away the soldiers around him, and said to Shi Tianxin, “Don’t forget the promise you Dongying people made.”

Shi Tianxin looked up at Fei Wen’s office, with the corners of his mouth raised, ” General Steven, please rest assured, three thousand taels of gold will arrive at your residence in three days.”

Steven laughed loudly, patted Shi Tianxin on the shoulder, “That’s good, I can’t wait .”

Ishida Shin also laughed.

He knew very well that just based on the dead people on the merchant ship, the Franji people and the Stedan people might not believe that it was the work of the black shark pirates, after all, there is no proof of death.

Therefore, he bought Steven, a war madman, and let him install his own people on a merchant ship to prove that the ones who attacked them were indeed black shark pirates.

In this way, there are all the witnesses and material evidences, and Governor Feiwen couldn’t help but not believe it.

And if the Franji people believed it, the Stedan people would naturally believe it too.

After giving Steven a guarantee, Ishida Nobu came to the port on the west side of Marka City.

There are six Japanese warships docked here.

He was going to continue southward on a warship, heading for the city of Jakarta.

“My lord, do you want to take the opportunity to attack the merchant ships of the Britons and the Sams and the Franks when you go south?”

Boarding the warship, a Japanese general said to Ishida Nobu.   Ishida Nobu

shook his head: “Everything must be done in moderation. If you overdo it, it will arouse suspicion.”

, the Britons and the country of Sam basically only trade with the Liang family, and few merchant ships go north.

” The important thing is that they all know that the Black Shark pirates only operate in the northern part of the Great Song.”

“The black shark pirates suddenly appeared in the south and they will be suspicious. After all, the Liang family and King Yan have many conflicts. It is impossible for the warships of the black shark pirates to pass through the waters of Yizhou.”

“Moreover, King Yan can rise in the north. How could you be so stupid as to provoke so many Western countries at the same time, and our Dongying strategy will not only fail to succeed, but will be revealed instead.”

Aida Taro nodded.

He was just too eager to eliminate the black shark pirates. After all, there was a threat to him in the vast sea, which was really uncomfortable.

But even so, we still have to continue to publicize the threat of King Yan to the Britons, Sam, and the Franks.

They wanted the Western natives to think that King Yan was the devil they called.

In this way, use them to defeat the King of Yan, and after the East is strong, the Western Lands will be pushed out of the Eastern Land.

In this way, Japan will be able to control the entire Eastern Land Continent.

Taro Aida thought.

And this is the long-term strategy decided at the shogunate meeting.

…

Plain City.

Japan is building an alliance to encircle and suppress black shark pirates.

Zhao Xu is watching a folk drama performed by staff from the Propaganda Department.

After a month of selection and rehearsal, the play was finally performed vividly and vividly.

At this moment, on the high stage, an actor who played the role of an old man was being beaten to death by an actor who played the role of a wealthy family.

Afterwards, the subordinates led by Haozu took the old man’s daughter forcibly away.

Thousands of Qi soldiers sat on the ground under the stage.

Eyes looking at the stage, fully immersed in the play.
