Start Being a Vassal King Today - Chapter 634

[Chapter 634 Questionnaire]

“Indeed, thank you for your help.” Through the translator, Fei Wen learned about Zhou Yi’s identity, took off his hat and saluted Zhou Yi.

Zhou Yi bowed his hand and returned the salute, “You should really thank His Royal Highness King Yan.” After a

pause, he said, “Of course, we also have our own purpose. Now you should be clear that the attack on the merchant ship has nothing to do with us.”

” Of course, I have figured out the cause and effect, and in order to express my gratitude to King Yan, I will send someone to the city of Jakarta to explain this to the people of Stedam in person.”

Zhou Yi showed a satisfied smile, this is what they wanted desired result.

The Dongying people want to form a sea alliance to deal with them, and they have successfully resolved one part of it now.

As long as the news of Franc Robot arrives in Jakarta City, the second ring will also be resolved.

In this way, the entire Japanese maritime plan went bankrupt.

Then the rest is their one-on-one heads-up with Dongpu.

In fact, they were not afraid of Frangji and the Stedan people, but they just didn’t want to fight a war that shouldn’t have existed in the first place.

“That would be too much for Governor Fei Wen. In addition, His Royal Highness Yan Wang also gave me a questionnaire this time, which is the question His Royal Highness Yan wants to know.

” Therefore, he wants to learn about the situation of the Western Lands through Governor Fei Wen.” After finishing speaking

, he took out the questionnaire Zhao Xu gave him and handed it to Fei Wen.

Fei Wen glanced at it and nodded.

King Yan rescued him, and this matter could only be said to be a trivial matter among trivial matters to him.

And what King Yan wants to know doesn’t seem to be a secret.

The problems involved are understood even by ordinary people in the West.

“Wait a moment.” Fei Wen said a few words to the translator, who translated the questions to him, and he dictated to the translator, filling up the entire paper with questions.

About half an hour later, Fei Wen returned the questionnaire to Zhou Yi.

Zhou Yi put it away, glanced at Marka City, and said: “I think Governor Fei Wen must need time to clear up the internal problems now, so we won’t bother you.”

“Are you leaving now?” Fei Wen was about to invite Zhou Yi went to Marka City for a sit-down.

“This is His Highness’s request. We still have a lot to do. See you next time.” After finishing speaking, Zhou Yi turned and went back, and the marines followed him to the port of Marka City.

The soldiers re-boarded the troop carriers, and the fleet headed north.

Fei Wen kept sending Zhou Yi to the battleship and watched King Yan’s fleet leave.

At this moment, his mood was very complicated.

There is gratitude to King Yan in my heart, but also awe to King Yan,

and I understand why Dongying is so afraid of this King Yan.

As the Dongying people said, once the king of Yan solves domestic problems and adopts a strategy of external expansion, it will be a disaster for both the Dongying people and the Western natives.

I’m afraid that the city of Marka, which they have been running for a hundred years, will also be in jeopardy.

At this time, he remembered Steven’s strong opinion again, but then he threw the thought out of his mind.

In his opinion, this is too desperate. Once the encirclement of King Yan fails, they, Flangji, will lose the trade with Eastern Land forever.

In the past, they were indeed the most powerful country in the sea, but they lost this glory more than two hundred years ago. Now their national strength is weak, and they can no longer provoke wars like Britain, Frank, and Ross.

Therefore, he believes that he still adopts a wait-and-see attitude towards King Yan.

Another ten-day voyage.

Zhou Yi arrived at Laoting from the waters of Marka City.

After getting off the battleship, he rushed to Yancheng without stopping.

While returning the questionnaire, report the situation of Marka City to King Yan.

“Good job, now we only need to deal with Dongpu.” Zhao Xu said while writing and drawing on the blueprint.

“Yes, Your Highness.” Zhou Yi replied yes.

Then, he handed Fei Wen’s questionnaire to Zhao Xu.

After taking the questionnaire, Zhao Xu read it carefully, and his brows frowned.

During this period of time, although he captured two Japanese generals, he was not very satisfied with what Xu Hark asked.

Because the Dongying people’s understanding of Xitu seems to be only superficial, and there is nothing he wants.

So, this time when Zhou Yi went south, he deliberately wrote a piece of paper with what he wanted to ask and handed it to him.

Generally speaking, this questionnaire basically involves the politics, economy, military affairs, culture and national strategy of the Western Turks.

After browsing, he has a complete understanding of the situation in the Western Lands.

If you compare it with the present, the western countries in this world are about at the level of the 1830s, that is, around 1830.

At this point in time, the Napoleonic Wars have just ended more than ten years ago, and the July Revolution is breaking out in France.

During the Daoguang period of the Qing Dynasty, the first American missionary came to Guangzhou, and Belgium became independent from the Netherlands.

However, just as the history of Dasong has gone wrong, the historical trajectory of Xitu has also changed.

Naturally, there is no Napoleon in this era. The only thing that is the same is that the powerful countries on the Western Land are still those powerful countries, just like the Central Plains Dynasty in the Eastern Land has always been the overlord of the Eastern Land.

According to Fei Wen, the most powerful country in the western continent is undoubtedly Britain, followed by Frank, Ross, German, Habs, Frankie and other countries.

In addition, there is a country of Sam that is rising, but Fei Wen did not include the country of Sam in the ranking, and it seems that he does not agree that the country of Sam belongs to the Western Turk countries.

In his view, these countries correspond to Britain, France, Tsarist Russia, Prussia, and the Austro-Hungarian Empire in the nineteenth century.

As for Francier, it is the collective name of Spain and Portugal in Eastern Turkey, and it does not refer to Spain specifically.

The country of Sam is equivalent to the United States.

Apart from these countries, what Zhao Xu is most concerned about is the industrial level of the western lands.

According to Fei Wen, it has been 70 years since the improved steam engine appeared in the Westland Continent.

At present, there are steam-powered factories all over the Westland Continent.

Among them, Britain has the strongest industrial strength, followed by Frank.

In terms of warships, the warships currently in service in the western land countries are basically old sailing warships.

But twenty years ago, Frank gave birth to the first steamship.

Although the steamship sank while sailing, Frank tried many times afterwards and successfully built a steamship that could sail on water.

Other Western countries followed suit.

However, at present, steamships are still a new thing in the West, and there are no ironclad ships.

However, Britain is already trying to use steamships to drag sailing warships forward at sea.

In terms of firearms, the troops currently deployed in the colonies and the East still use old flintlock guns, but the native troops in the West already have new muskets.

“Fortunately, I came early, otherwise the day lily would be cold.” After reading all the answers, Zhao Xu broke into a sweat.

In the first Opium War, the British army no longer used ordinary flintlock guns.

Among them appeared the flintlock rifle, which was the first generation of Enfilk rifle.

The British sail warships were also towed by steam ships, and they traveled very fast at sea.

At that time, due to the advent of steam ships, the time from Europe to East Asia was shortened to four months.

Therefore, the situation he is facing now is basically similar to the world environment before the Opium War.
