Start Being a Vassal King Today - Chapter 719
[Chapter 719 Beidi’s Choice]
“We have envoys stationed in Beidi in Dongying, so we can leave this matter to us.” Mahisa Sato took the initiative to spy on Beidi’s attitude.
Then, the seven of them had another discussion.
It was agreed that if Beidi fell to the state of Ross, the joint fleet composed of the British and Wu fleets would go to Dongying.
On the other hand, Dongying dispatched 150,000 soldiers and horses, a total of 200,000 soldiers and horses, landed in Koryo under the escort of the combined fleet, and took Koryo in one fell swoop.
“Actually, why not take the opportunity to destroy the King Yan fleet together. With the prestige of the combined fleet, it can definitely be done.” Sato Mahisa suddenly said leisurely after setting the responsibilities of each family.
Xie Duan, Han Zheng and Wang Zi’an also nodded.
Being able to participate in the signing of the covenant this time all depended on Dongying’s support, so the three of them were all grateful to Dongying.
Furthermore, although they surrendered to Wu State, the three families were still somewhat wary of Wu State.
Therefore, the troops of the Han family and the Wang family have been stationed near Jinling, holding a group with the Xie family, and the Xie family is faintly headed.
After all, the grain of the world comes from the Xie family, but the grain of the Xie family is mainly produced in the Jiangnan area of Ningzhou.
Their soldiers and horses can only be raised by the Xie family.
“King Yan has always been shrewd, it’s not good for him, how could he take the initiative to fight us, he will only hide the battleship in the inner river.” Liang Kai’s eyes rolled around.
Fighting against King Yan’s army is a direct conflict with King Yan, and he doesn’t want to ask for trouble.
Sato Majiu said it easily, and it will not be their Japanese warships that will be lost by then.
Wolff frowned slightly, “I don’t think there should be a conflict with King Yan’s fleet right now. When the wind conditions are good, steam ships have little advantage. As for sailing warships, King Yan has thirty-six ships. , is three times ours, occupying a numerical advantage.”
After a pause, he continued: “Right now, King Yan is overwhelmed by our steamship, and he is not sure that he can defeat us in the inland river, so he stopped going south. If he rushes to attack, once the sea battle fails, King Yan will lose his support for us. The fear of the United Fleet is not good.”
“We should let him continue to be afraid, so that he will not dare to interfere with our actions at sea, and wait until more steam ships and sail warships arrive in the east from Britain, and then encircle King Yan The fleet is not too late.”
After all, he did not have the confidence to defeat King Yan’s fleet.
After all, he only has twelve sailing warships in his hand, and he can still try to deal with twice as many enemies.
But three times is a bit difficult.
As for Wu’s navy, he dared not put his chips on it.
“Hahaha… What the lieutenant said made me realize.” Mahisa Sato hid his disappointment with a big laugh.
He hoped that King Yan’s fleet would be destroyed, but he obviously couldn’t order Britain.
Fortunately, there is still Wolf’s Goryeo plan.
This is also of great benefit to him.
They have long coveted Koryo, which is across the sea.
In the next few days, while preparing for the landing in Korea, they explored Beidi’s movements.
Immediately, they got the news that King Yan’s troops were marching northward, intending to attack Beidi.
Then, the Dongying envoys stationed in Beidi sent news that Beidi officially refused to join the Eastern Turk Alliance.
After confirming this matter, the Wolf plan was put on the agenda.
…
Grassland, Khan Court.
Beidi generals led by Mu Lehongzhen are receiving the first batch of Russian firearms.
There are a total of 3,000 flintlocks and 12 field cannons.
“The range of these flintlock guns is 150 meters. What Dongying gave you is nothing but rubbish.” Ivan picked up a flintlock gun and lit it in front of Mu Le Hongzhen.
Although the flintlock technology handed over to Beidi by Dongying is also the technology of drilling holes in steel parts.
But Japan’s steel smelting level is obviously not good.
The amount of ammunition that can be tolerated is not as good as the flintlock guns eliminated by the country of Ross.
“One hundred and fifty meters!” Mu Lehong’s heart skipped a beat, his expression delighted.
I finally let go of my refusal to join the Eastern Land Alliance.
During this period of time, he has been trying to strike a balance between the Ross State and the Eastern Turk Alliance.
Therefore, he has an ambiguous attitude towards joining the Eastern Land Alliance.
Ivan asked him not to join the Eastern Land Alliance, but he also refused to reply.
But he did not expect that after the king of Yan occupied the entire Jiangbei, he suddenly sent troops northward, and the army suppressed the border.
The country of Ross seemed to have lost patience at this time. Ivan decided to tear up the contract with Beidi, no longer support Beidi, and even vaguely mentioned that he would establish contacts with King Yan.
In the battle of Ningjin Dusi, Beidi was defeated and has not yet recovered.
The plan to conquer Tibet is also under way.
If there is a deadly battle with King Yan at this time, the country of Ross will launch an attack in the extreme north.
Faced with enemies on both sides, Beidi will find it difficult to sustain.
He devoured Tubo, regained his vitality, and used the country of Ross to obtain advanced firearms. His plan to fight against King Yan would fail completely.
After weighing the pros and cons, he finally chose to completely fall to Beidi and completely refused to join the Eastern Land Alliance.
Although he knows that the strength of the Eastern Land Alliance is also good.
But Beidi has a long border with Ross State, directly bordering on it.
Seeing that the situation is not good, the Eastern Land Alliance can pat their ass and leave, but the neighbors in the north cannot move away.
In comparison, Ross State is more reliable.
“Father Khan, you made a wise decision.” Ulan Ba raised the corner of his mouth.
He has been to the country of Ross, so he naturally knows that the country of Ross hates Britain very much.
After all, Britain has led the Western Turks several times to prevent the Ross State from gaining access to the sea.
In wars large and small, the country of Ross paid for the lives of hundreds of thousands of soldiers.
Therefore, when he returned to Beidi and learned that Dongying invited his father to join the Eastern Land Alliance, he strongly opposed it.
Because once Beidi made such a choice, it would be tantamount to standing on the opposite side of the country of Ross, and would be the mortal enemy of the country of Ross in the future.
The most important point is that the State of Ross is likely to choose to cooperate with King Yan to contain the East-Turk Alliance.
On this point, Ross State and King Yan have common interests.
At that time, Beidi will become the center of the war.
At the beginning, his father still wanted to gain both sides.
But King Yan’s troops marched north, which immediately made his father figure it out, and finally decided to completely fall to Beidi.
“Hahaha…” Mule Hongzhen laughed, and he said to Ivan, “Consul Ivan, I hope more firearms will arrive in Beidi in the future.”
“Of course.” Ivan said with a smile on his face. A faint smile.
For preventing Beidi from joining the Eastern Land Alliance, Emperor Nicholas will definitely praise him.
Mule Hongzhen nodded, “That’s it, I’m at ease.”
Although he suspected that King Yan’s going north this time had something to do with Ivan.
But there is nothing to do.
Ivan is afraid that he wants to show the desperate situation that Beidi will face in cooperation between Ross Kingdom and King Yan.
This is a conspiracy.
But since he finally made a choice, he will go one way to the end.
Temporary forbearance, in order to smash Da Song’s country one day, and then drive the people of Ross away!
