Start Being a Vassal King Today - Chapter 629

[Chapter 629]

Pingyuan City

Zhao Xu stood at the Pingyuan Ferry, looking at Wubao across the Jin River, with Chang Wei at his side.

This was built by Qi State after the defeat of Pingyuan.

In addition to Wubao, there are many forts near the ferry.

After testing the power of the yellow gunpowder, he went to Pingyuan City to inspect the armaments.

At present, in the territory he controls, there is Yanguan in the north and Qinguan in the west.

With his current firearms, these two passes would never be captured by any eastern force.

Therefore, these two directions are absolutely safe.

The sea area to the east is guarded by Zhou Yi’s fleet.

According to Chen Shou’s promise to him, in more than ten days, twenty-four warships will be launched as scheduled to join the ranks of the Yanzhou Navy.

Therefore, the safety of the east sea is not a problem.

The only safety hazard is the south side.

However, this time he came to Pingyuan City, not to inspect and defend.

Instead, he asked Chang Wei to receive yellow gunpowder and distribute it to the army.

At the same time, discuss how to deal with the Yan coalition forces.

Just like the last time the war was brought to Ningjindusi, this time, he will not let the war go to Yanzhou either.

Decided to adopt a strategy of attacking instead of defending.

Once the second meeting of the Lucheng League and the Yan Yan Alliance were established, they were determined to attack Yanzhou.

He will order the royal family’s troops to cross the south of the river and take the initiative to fight the Yan Yan coalition forces.

At that time, this war will be the biggest war he has faced since time travelling.

The battlefield will include both land and sea.

Isn’t Japan’s establishment of a maritime alliance just waiting for this opportunity?

On land, Beidi cavalry will also join the camp of powerful clans.

If they enter Yanzhou, they will cause huge damage to Yanzhou.

Therefore, a decisive battle must be fought outside Yanzhou.

“Hey, with this yellow gunpowder, I will definitely beat this shit out of the Yan Yan Alliance.” Chang Wei raised his fist at the opposite side with a confident look.

A rifled gun with a range of 200 meters was beyond his cognition.

Now a piece of yellow gunpowder has increased the range of the rifled gun to 350 meters, which is simply terrifying.

In the past, the army of the royal family fought against the powerful army, just like an adult beating an eleven or twelve-year-old child.

In the future, fighting the army of the powerful tribe will be like fighting three or four-year-olds.

Zhao Xu smiled, “I’m waiting for this day.”

After a pause, he said, “Before, you should simulate a few battles and conduct a few targeted exercises, after all, Beidi cavalry may also participate in this war. ”

Before the appearance of machine guns, cavalry on the battlefield could not be underestimated.

If the cavalry is given a chance to approach, it is still very dangerous for the infantry.

“Yes, Your Highness.” Chang Wei said loudly.

While the two were talking, a cavalryman hurried over and delivered a letter to Zhao Xu.

After receiving the letter, Zhao Xu looked at it and frowned.

This letter was sent by Tsui Hark, but the information in the letter was provided by Tianxianglou.

According to Tianxianglou, there seems to be a mutiny in the city of Marka controlled by the Franji in Yizhou.

The governor of Marka City, Fei Wen, was imprisoned, and a commander named Steven took control of Marka City.

“People from Dongying have really put in a lot of effort.” After a little thought, Zhao Xu figured out the key point.

It must be the Dongying people and the ghosts in the Flang machine who created this incident.

Otherwise, it would not be such a coincidence that just after Dong An left, this kind of change happened in Marka City.

The Dongying people are determined to form a maritime alliance to attack him.

However, how could he satisfy the Dongying people?

After thinking about it, he decided to take action after the battleship was launched, and the war at sea could be laid out in advance.

Fifteen days later.

Zhao Xu came to Jinghai County again.

At this moment, the twelve warships had all put on soft sails, and Chen Shou and the officials of the ship department gathered at Jinghai Wharf, waiting for his order.

In addition, there are 7,000 marines.

They boarded their battleship ahead of schedule and were making final preparations.

Once the dry dock is filled with water, they will steer the warship out to sea for a month of sea trial training.

When these warships were being built, Zhou Yi recruited a corresponding number of crew members for training.

At the same time, the best of these crew members were selected and sent to the Naval Academy for training, and let them serve as warship generals.

Therefore, the battleship can be put into use as soon as it hits the water.

“Go into the water.” Seeing that the sun was about to reach noon, Zhao Xu ordered.

Following his order, Chen Shou ordered the craftsmen of the ship division to open the gate valve of the dry dock, and the seawater immediately poured into the dry dock.

The warships floated up one by one until they were level with the sea water.

Zhou Yi also specially rushed from Leting County to Jinghai this time to participate in the launching ceremony.

At this time, he said: “Your Highness, are you ready to go to sea?”

After the warships were launched, these warships were officially listed in the navy.

At this moment, he couldn’t suppress the excitement in his heart, and laughed like a flower.

Compared with Zhou Yi, Chen Shou’s mood is a bit complicated, like marrying a daughter, happy but reluctant.

However, thinking that the steamship will be developed soon, he immediately put everything behind him, and only said to Zhou Yi: “You can use this warship carefully.”

Zhou Yi laughed twice, “Don’t worry, we are more precious than you ”

Then, he said to the generals on the battleship: “Your Highness has ordered you to go to sea.”

“Yes.” The naval generals stood on the deck and saluted Zhao Xu and Zhou Yi.

Immediately, the sails on the warships were raised high, and under the sea breeze, twelve warships sailed from the dry dock to the sea one after another.

Zhao Xu watched the warships leave, and when they gradually disappeared, he said, “The warships in Pingcheng should also be launched?”

Chen Shou nodded, “I let them launch at the same time, there will be no mistakes.”

Zhao Xu Xu nodded in satisfaction.

Twenty-four warships were launched, and a stone hanging in his heart finally fell.

With these thirty-six ships, on the oceans, he was finally able to take more daring actions.

Over the years, taking advantage of Dasong’s weakness, Dongpu has encroached on too many islands in the East Sea, including the Kingdom of Ryukyu.

Next, he will not only thwart Dongying’s conspiracy, cut off their tentacles extending to Dasong, but also take back everything they have taken away.

Thinking of this, he said to Zhou Yi: “This king wants you to send six warships to the south of Yizhou to rescue Fei Wen, the governor of Marka City.”

Although the 24 warships still need one month of adaptive training.

But they are already part of the naval combat power.

Able to protect the sea area of Yanzhou.

Therefore, he can rest assured that Zhou Yi will send the fleet south.

When Dong An went south, Zhou Yi learned about Dongying’s conspiracy at sea.

Before the battleship was launched, King Yan also mentioned to him the changes in Marka City.

He already fully understood this matter, so he said: “Yes, Your Highness.”

Zhao Xu nodded, and then asked: “How is your Marine Corps training?”

After the Battle of Ning Jin, he Zhou Yi was given a quota of eight thousand marines.

“Returning to Your Highness, they are absolutely capable of fighting this war.” Zhou Yi was full of confidence.

“That’s good. I give priority to providing yellow gunpowder to your marines, and make the matter of Yizhou more beautiful for me.”

Warships can only sail in the sea. If you want to solve the problem of Malka, then Have to rely on the Marine Corps.

If he can thwart the conspiracy of Dongying and Frangji’s traitors, the Governor Fei Wen he rescued will become his window to understand the Western Land.

Of course, if the rescue operation fails, Fervin is dead.

He can only take the city of Marka and destroy the battleship of the Frang Robot.

Do not give them the opportunity to participate in the coalition forces at sea.
