Start Being a Vassal King Today - Chapter 684

[Chapter 684]

“So, it’s not enough to set up a coalition against Yan, but they want to set up an alliance of the East and the Earth. Your Highness, why does the East keep targeting us? You really deserve a fucking beating!”

Zhao Xu explained to everyone. After a while, Lu Chang stared round, looking like he was going to kill someone.

Chang Wei was extremely angry in his heart, but as the top general of the royal family’s army, he was much calmer, “So, they are trying to stall for time to facilitate this shitty Eastern-Turkish alliance.”

“That’s right.” Zhao Xu nodded.

“Liang Kai has always regarded himself very highly. Will he follow Dongying’s wishes? Besides, Liang Kai has always been dissatisfied with Dongying.” Chang Wei said in a deep thought.

“There are no eternal enemies in the world, only eternal interests. In order to fight against this king, this possibility is not small.” Zhao Xu looked to the south.

Dongying’s plan is to make the Han family, Wang family, and Xie family resist him steadily.

To facilitate an alliance, they will bring together the three powerful families to vote for Wu.

This is tantamount to twisting the Dasong clan into one rope to deal with him.

According to the information disclosed by the Dongying people, this idea is not only the Watanabe case, but also the participation of the consuls of Sam and Britain.

In this world, a shit stirrer is still a shit stirrer.

In the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, in order to curb the rise of the European continental powers, the United Kingdom has always pursued an offshore balance strategy of pulling one to fight.

In order to deal with Spain, Britain united with France

to deal with Napoleon, and the British formed an anti-French alliance.

In order to prevent the Russians from gaining access to the sea, their allied France defeated the Russians in the Crimea.

But now, Dongying, the villain of the East, mixed with Britain, the big shit-stirrer, and Sam, the future shit-stirrer, stretched out a dark hand to Da Song.

“I will let you understand that in the face of absolute strength, a bunch of rubbish add up to be rubbish.” Zhao Xu secretly said.

Then he said to Chang Wei: “The next battle will be entrusted to you. Cooperate with Ma Han to take the territory north of Jiujiang as soon as possible, unify the north, and cross the south of the Yangtze River if conditions permit.”

He didn’t know When will this so-called Eastern Land Alliance be established?

But once this alliance is established, it is bound to have an impact on his strategy.

Therefore, before this alliance is established and taken action, he wants to win as much territory and more population as possible.

As Chang Wei said, it is not unreasonable for Liang Kai to think highly of himself.

At present, the population of Dasong is more in the south than in the north.

According to the officials of the household department of the imperial court who fled to Yancheng.

At present, the total population of Dasong on the books is more than 96 million.

Sixty-five million of them gathered in the south of Jiujiang.

There are only about 30 million people in the north.

Of course, Zhao Xu would not completely believe this number.

Because of the limitation of conditions in ancient times, the statistics of household registration were very imperfect, and there would be many black households.

Dasong’s population should be at least 20 million more to be reasonable.

But even so, the population in the north will still not exceed 40 million.

After all, there have been years of wars in the north, and many people have died.

Especially Ningjindusi, Jinzhou, Qinzhou, and Yongzhou.

The number of soldiers he sacrificed can be counted, but the number of people who died at the hands of Beidi in the war cannot be counted.

The population means the labor force, means the consumption capacity of the market, and is also a part of the national power.

Regardless of whether the East-Turk Alliance will be established, winning the North is the first step in his plan.

In this way, he can control about 40 million people, and with the help of industry, no one can stop his rise.

At that time, any alliance will be a cloud in front of him.

“Your Highness is going back to Yancheng?” Chang Wei asked.

He was a little bit reluctant, he could learn a lot by fighting with King Yan.

Zhao Xu nodded, “The Yan Yan alliance is fragmented, and the remaining powerful clan troops are like dogs that lose their families. The next battle is just a boring battle for the city, and this king will not participate.”

Looking to the east, he continued, ” Back in Yancheng, I still have one big thing to do.”

Dongying spared no effort to deal with him, and he had to pay back.

How can there be any reason not to fight back when you are beaten?

After destroying the Dongying Navy, the Yanzhou Navy is now invincible at sea.

He wants to seize the islands that Dongying has occupied in the East Sea for these years, including the Kingdom of Ryukyu and Yizhou.

Moreover, according to the information provided by Fei Wen, the steamship technology in the Westland Continent has already matured.

If the Eastern Land Alliance is established, the British will use steamboats to pull their own sailing warships, and together with the warships of the Sam and Dongying people, they will confront his navy in the Eastern Seas and intervene in his scramble for islands in the sea.

It will be difficult for him to win these two places again.

After all, according to the intelligence of the Dongying people, the main purpose of the establishment of the Eastern Land Alliance is to contain him.

Then they will prevent all actions that are beneficial to them.

Of course, once his own steamship was launched, he had no more worries about their battleships.

But that will take a while.

Therefore, it is better to take these places and station troops on them when you have an overall advantage.

He believed that with the strength of the royal family’s army, they would never want to take it back.

After deciding on this matter, he let Chang Wei continue to march towards Lucheng, while he himself went to Yancheng.

Three days later, he returned to Yancheng.

Then, people called Zhou Yi from Jinghai.

There is another person, the heir of the Ryukyu Kingdom.

After telling his purpose, Shang Bin, the prince of the Ryukyu Kingdom, trembled with excitement.

He knelt down on the ground with a plop, crying loudly, “Thank you for your highness Hong En, thank you for your highness Hong En, after thirty years, the Ryukyu Kingdom is finally going to be restored.” As

he said that, he kept kowtowing to Zhao Xu.

Zhao Xu helped him up, and said with a smile: “This king once promised you, and you will naturally do it, but don’t forget your promise.”

Shang Bin nodded, “Your Highness, rest assured, the Ryukyu Kingdom will always be loyal to His Highness, When I return to Ryukyu, I will present the most beautiful Ryukyu women to His Royal Highness every year.”

“Ahem, this is unnecessary. I am a tribute to Wuhua Tianbao, and I have never lacked beauties.” Zhao Xu said, “After defeating the Japanese soldiers stationed in Ryukyu Finally, you have to cooperate with the Yanzhou Navy to establish a supply point and provide all necessary support, and that’s enough.”

For Zhao Xu, his ambition is to turn Ryukyu into the territory of Dasong.

After all, time is no longer modern.

If Ryukyu is an independent king, it may become a maritime fortress for external forces to compete for in the future.

After all, no one can guarantee whether the next Ryukyu king will remain loyal to Dasong.

But at the moment, he doesn’t want to be an outsider and directly conflict with the people of the Ryukyu Kingdom like Dongying.

It is most convenient and effective to support Shang Bin to restore the country.

In the future, he will ask Shang Bin to formally merge the Ryukyu Kingdom into the Great Song by announcing his joining the Great Song.

PS: Covering my face, I owe another chapter. A man with a family has a lot of chores. Don’t worry, everyone will make it up in these two days. Hey, it’s too embarrassing.
