Start Being a Vassal King Today - Chapter 619

[Chapter 619]

“His Royal Highness, Mr. Xu seeks an audience.”

Zhao Xu and Dong An were discussing about going on an envoy, when Feng’er appeared at the door of the study.

Zhao Xu nodded and motioned for Xu Hark to come in.

Not long after, Xu Ke arrived at the study, bowed and saluted, he said: “Your Highness, I just got the news that the Qi State and the Xie family, Nanliang, Wu State, and Nanping State agreed to hold a meeting in Luzhou on the 29th of this month. Cheng Huimeng.”

“Moreover, the minister also got the key reason for the success of Qi’s alliance, they agreed to sell flintlock guns to other powerful clans, and promised to teach them the flintlock gun manufacturing skills after jointly sending troops to attack Yanzhou. Hearing

this, Zhao Xu frowned. During this time, he had been asking Xu Hark to keep an eye on Qi Guohe.

He still felt a little strange that Qi Guo was able to make treaties with other powerful clans so smoothly.

After all, if they were really so united in their hatred, they wouldn’t have fought on their own, watching with cold eyes for so long.

Now, the information provided by Tsui Hark suddenly dawned on him.

“It turns out that the flintlock has moved the hearts of the powerful people.” Zhao Xu narrowed his eyes.

Dong An said: “Dongying is really willing to spend a lot of money. I think that the matter of planting black sharks and pirates is almost indistinguishable. It is also Dongying’s doing. Dongying wants to kill us even more than Beidi.”

“This is Because they, like Beidi, want to destroy my Dasong and occupy my territory.” Zhao Xu directly pointed out the key point.

Many Yanzhou officials couldn’t understand why an island country separated from Dasong by the vast ocean would desperately fight Yanzhou.

This is because their news is blocked and they don’t understand the cruel world outside of Dae Song.

“It’s really arrogant.” Xu Ke snorted, “Your Highness, since this is the case, the Dongying people’s scheme cannot be allowed to succeed.”

“It’s only natural that the king asked Dong An to come here to deal with this matter,” Zhao Xu said.

Xu Ke was overjoyed, “Has Your Highness found a solution to the unification of powerful clans?”

Zhao Xu nodded with a smile, “No, but the news you sent gave me an idea.”

After a pause, he continued. : “In my king’s opinion, Dongying and Qi are carrying out two alliances at the same time. One is the alliance of the clans, and the other is the alliance of the western countries. Dong An, you are still responsible for resolving the alliance at sea. This king has his own arrangements for the alliance of powerful clans.”

After that, he asked Dong An to go back to prepare, leaving Xu Har alone.

After pondering for a while, he said: “This king wants you to create some chaos in the Bingzhang Division, and leak the blueprints for making flintlock guns.”

Naturally, the chaos he was talking about did not really create chaos, but put on a play for the audience. Yancheng’s powerful family eyeliner.

After all, they have been staring at Bingzhangsi, wanting to obtain the manufacturing process of firearms from it.

And this is his way to resolve the alliance of powerful clans. Obviously, the fragile relationship between powerful clans this time relies on flintlock guns.

That being the case, he simply told the world directly about the craft of making flintlock guns.

In this way, other powerful families who have obtained flintlock guns will not be led by the nose by Qi and Dongying.

Because their bargaining chips have lost their effect.

At that time, even if the alliance of powerful clans can still be maintained, other powerful clans will no longer be restrained by Qi and Dongying because of the flintlock.

Once a war starts, they will fight on their own, just like the six countries attacking Qin, vulnerable to a single blow.

Xu Hark was stunned for a while when he heard this, and immediately figured out the joints.

He said: “Although it’s a pity, it’s still a good way.” At the

moment, the rifles of the royal army’s army are more than a little bit higher than the flintlock guns.

Not only the royal family’s army, even the muskets given to the Ma family are now rifled guns.

The smoothbore broken hair gun is basically eliminated.

It is still cost-effective to use this obsolete method of firearms manufacturing to disintegrate the alliance of powerful clans.

After all, even if they didn’t disclose it on purpose, Dongpu and Qi would give it to them, and Dongpu even wanted to take the opportunity to make a profit.

After deciding on this matter, Zhao Xu gave Xu Hark a handbook, asking him to meet Wang Ying.

Without his order, no one can mess around in the Bing Zhang Division, and Tsui Hark is no exception.

But that night, Bingzhangsi suddenly burst into flames.

A carriage broke through the blocking of the guards and escaped from Bingzhangsi.

In the dark night, the carriage galloped all the way, and due to the bumps, many blueprints were scattered on the carriage.

Seemingly eager to escape, the carriage didn’t stop and wanted to go west all the way.

At this moment, several groups of people suddenly rushed out from different alleys.

They each picked up the blueprints on the ground, and before the chasing cavalry arrived, they suddenly disappeared into the alley again.

next day.

In the early morning, the government government posted an arrest warrant to capture the enemy’s agents.

Seeing this, Shi Zuo quickly fled Yancheng with the blueprint.

“Your Highness, it’s done.” When Shizuo Xizuo fled with the blueprint, Xu Hark came to the palace.

“Well, next, I want to see how this powerful clan can form an alliance!” Zhao Xu sneered.

At the beginning, when Tsui Hark found out about these spies, he wanted to kill them all.

But he stopped Tsui Hark.

The reason is very simple, after the death of these secret works, the powerful clan will send secret works.

And it will be even more secretive at that time, and it will take a lot of effort to track it down.

Therefore, it is better to control than to kill.

Furthermore, they can be used at any time to achieve their own goals, such as this incident.

Even, in the future, he can pass false information to these spies.

“By the way, as the saying goes, it’s not rude to come and go. Now that they have made a move, this king has to show his sword. During this time, this king needs you to spread Dongying’s wolfish ambitions towards Dasong, so as to arouse the vigilance and dissatisfaction of the powerful clan towards them. Trust.”

“At the same time, the Liang family once wanted to take down the Yizhou area controlled by Dongying, and obviously had many conflicts with Dongying. This king wants you to provoke conflicts between the two families and try to cause their conflicts.” Zhao Xu said.

Currently, he has no confrontation with the powerful family, but it does not mean that he has no common interests with any powerful family.

Among them, the Liang family hates Japan as much as he does. Perhaps, he can use this matter to further divide the power and family.

Moreover, the Liang family is quite far away from Yanzhou, which is also in line with the basic geostrategy of long-distance friendship and short-term attack.

“Yes, Your Highness.” A cold light flashed in Xu Hark’s eyes.

The Fourth Academy was supposed to provide information to King Yan and do black work.

With the growth of the Fourth Academy in the past two years, he thinks that he is fully capable of taking on this task now.

After discussing some details, Tsui Hark got up and left.

As soon as he left, Wang Chong came over.

“Your Highness, I have brought you good news.” Wang Chong said.

Since Yanzhou’s government affairs system merged with the court system, Wang Chong has also declared himself a minister.

Seeing Wang Chong, Zhao Xu’s mood eased a lot.

At least every time he brought good news.

“Oh? Let’s hear it.” Zhao Xu said, Wang Chong has a lot of projects in his hands at the moment, and he doesn’t know which one has made a breakthrough.

Wang Chong chuckled twice and said: “After using the steam engine to blast the air, the quality of both the iron and the steel produced has improved a lot. I think that you can try the converter steelmaking method. After all, this method The most important thing is the amount of oxygen blowing, now that the blowing air volume is bigger, the oxygen is enough.”

Zhao Xu showed a satisfied smile.

If this step is successful, Yanzhou’s steel production will increase explosively.

It would greatly ease the surge in demand for steel that followed the advent of the steam engine.

In the future, manufacturing steam locomotives and laying railways will also be no problem.

In the past two days, the channel has requested to change the beginning of the previous one, so the update will be slower, and it should be almost the same tomorrow.

But you don’t need to care about this. This is the channel version, which has nothing to do with Qidian. Qidian remains unchanged and does not affect it at all.

In fact, I didn’t want to explain it at first, so I let everyone complain, after all, snails are used to being scolded, (and indeed they should be scolded, the update is too hip.).
