Start Being a Vassal King Today - Chapter 685

[Chapter 685 Coping]

“Please rest assured, Your Highness, the Kingdom of Ryukyu will be your loyal subject from now on, and your orders will be above all else.” Shang Bin looked firm and his tone was decisive.

Zhao Xu nodded and asked Shang Bin to go back and wait quietly.

When the fleet sets off, Zhou Yi will take him with him.

After Shang Bin left, Zhao Xu turned to Zhou Yi and asked how many Dongying soldiers were currently stationed in the Ryukyu Kingdom.

Seizing Ryukyu and Yizhou was already in his plan.

So Zhou Yi has been investigating the Yizhou area occupied by Ryukyu and Dongying during this time.

However, due to the interception of intelligence about the East-Turk Alliance, he decided to act in advance.

“Returning to Your Highness, there are about 20,000 people. We can just rely on our Marine Corps, and we don’t need the Royal Palace’s Golden Army to take action.” Zhou Yi is very confident. Even if the Fulang Jiren are not their opponents, what about the Japanese soldiers? Down.

Zhao Xu smiled lightly. He had no doubts about the combat effectiveness of the Marine Corps.

But the 8,000 Marines are a bit small.

After all, in the future, the Marine Corps will face more and more combat missions in the Eastern Land, and it will become more and more cruel.

So he said: “Expand the Marine Corps to 30,000 Marine Corps.” In the

past, due to population constraints, he could not resort to militarism and let soldiers account for too large a proportion of the population, which would affect agricultural and industrial development. .

However, at present, he has won the eight counties of Qizhou, and Chang Wei and Ma Han will soon sweep Jiangbei.

By then the population problem will be greatly alleviated.

Furthermore, in the war with Qi, they captured a large number of surrendered soldiers.

Some of these surrendered troops disarmed and returned to the fields, and returned to their hometowns to work in agriculture.

Some wanted to join his army.

It is possible to add these soldiers to the Marine Corps.

“Hey, thank you, Your Highness.” Zhou Yi grinned.

As the top admiral of the navy, he naturally hoped that there would be more and more soldiers under his command.

After discussing this matter, Zhao Xu asked Zhou Yi to return to Jinghai for preparations, and at the same time brought Shang Bin with him.

After Zhou Yi left, Zhao Xu looked at the Dasong map on the wall, frowning.

If the Eastern Land Alliance is really established, it will indeed be a trouble for him.

The purpose of Japan, Britain and Sam’s country is very sinister.

Their ultimate goal is to split Dasong, just like the Western Land Continent, forming many large and small countries.

In this way, Dasong is no longer an independent country, but a continent carrying many countries like Xitu and Tianzhu.

For such a continent, whether they adopt a strategy of balance of power to profit from it, or colonize one by one, depends on their mood.

At the same time, they will use the alliance’s strategy against him every step of the way to block his outward expansion.

As for the way to deal with him, it is natural to support the agent, continue to fight the agent war with him, and even take action himself.

He is not afraid of war. Even if he confronts the British army head-on, he is confident of winning.

But he didn’t want to keep fighting with powerful clans under the intervention of Japan and the others.

Because after all, it consumes the national strength of the Great Song, and the people who die are the people of the Great Song.

As for Japan and Britain, they only need to sell weapons and watch them kill and kill.

Even if he wins, what he gets is a Jiangnan with broken mountains and rivers.

It was exactly what they wanted.

Therefore, he couldn’t be led by the nose by them.

Occupying Jiangbei this time, if Wu Guo hadn’t joined the Eastern Land Alliance, he would have taken advantage of the trend and gone south to unify and praise.

If it was too late, he would think of a way to give the Liang family an ecstasy to stabilize the Wu country for the time being.

At least they can’t let Wu Guo single-mindedly fall to Dongying and the others, and let them sway in the middle.

In this way, he can first cut off the interference of other forces, and then clean up the remnants of Jiangnan’s powerful families.

At that time, the war will be much easier to avoid serious damage to the south of the Yangtze River.

But in this way, he will give Wu Guo a little sweetness.

With calculations in his mind, Zhao Xu decided to observe the situation for a while.

It would be best to go south to clean up the country of Wu, if not, then consider other things.

After thinking for a while, Zhao Xu left the study.

This collusion between the Kingdom of Sam, Britain and Japan aroused the anger in his heart.

No force should want to let Da Song go through the history of contemporary humiliation under his nose.

Moreover, he will eventually lead Dasong to destroy the colonial system established by Xitu and seek a bright future for Dasong.

To do this, he wants Da Song to achieve complete crushing in military, cultural, and economic aspects.

This time he returned from the battlefield to personally supervise these matters.

As for large and small wars, it is enough to leave it to the generals.

“Call someone to call Liu Fu, Yang Feng, Yang He, Wang Ying and his son.” Zhao Xu said to Feng’er.

He wanted to ask himself how the restructuring and industrial development had been during the time he was away.

After answering yes, Feng’er turned around and left. Not long after, the five of them arrived in the study.

Seeing Zhao Xu, Liu Fu grinned and said, “Did your Highness beat the Allied Forces against Yan to the ground?”

Yang Feng stroked his beard, nodded slightly, his eyes full of anticipation.

Zhao Xu smiled and told them about the current battle situation.

Knowing that the coalition forces that attacked Yan were resolved by him, Nanliang withdrew his troops.

The Han family, Wang family and Xie family left one hundred thousand troops in Lucheng, and then fled to Yicheng. The five of them were said to show admiration.

Originally, they thought that the royal army’s army would definitely fight a bloody battle with the million-dollar coalition army in Qizhou.

But I didn’t expect to be near misses.

“Hahaha… What a bunch of bereaved dogs.” Yang Feng laughed, feeling happy.

In his whole life, he has suffered a lot of embarrassment at the hands of these powerful officials.

And if it weren’t for the chaos caused by these powerful clans, how could Da Song be in today’s situation.

Today, all they get is what they deserve.

After talking about the current battle for a while, Zhao Xu asked about the five people’s respective responsibilities.

“Returning to Your Highness, the preparations for the Master Academy are basically complete, including the recruitment of students, and it will be officially opened in three days.”

“As for the public buildings, there are currently 106 registered schools. The local private schools are being used as much as possible, those without private schools are being built, and they should be completed before September as much as possible, and the students will be officially admitted to school on September 1st.”

“As for the question of teachers, the lower officials have recruited some scholars to teach in public schools. To teach children to read and write, the public in Yancheng arranges the students from the science and technology school to give lectures occasionally, and when the first batch of students from the teacher’s school graduates, they can be sent to the public school.” Liu Fu said slowly.

Zhao Xu nodded, “I’m afraid there are too few students recruited now, and the territory controlled by the imperial court will soon cover the entire Jiangbei, so you have to plan ahead.”

“Yes, Your Highness.” Liu Fu replied yes, with an excited expression on his face.

Although Yanzhou government office and court hall are combined into one.

But after all, the territory under his rule is too small, which makes him feel petty from time to time.

And governing the entire Jiangbei Kyushu plus a Ningjin capital, it really has a serious dynasty.
