Start Being a Vassal King Today - Chapter 720

[Chapter 720]

Yancheng.

When a storm of war was brewing over Koryo.

Zhao Xu is comprehensively promoting the development of Jiangbei and various reforms.

The army changed into new military uniforms, and howitzers were delivered to the army one after another. With the change of official positions in the army, the number of soldiers commanded by the generals was also adjusted accordingly.

In terms of government affairs, the land distribution and militia training in each state and county are on the right track, and the official examination for the selection of officials in the state is also in progress.

According to his request, the construction of infrastructure and workshops in each state is also being carried out one after another.

The entire Jiangbei land, like the vegetation in spring, is full of vitality.

Of course, while focusing on development, he did not forget the external dangers.

Tsui Hark’s Fourth Court has been collecting information from various sources.

“After Dongying failed to recruit Beidi to join the China-Turk Alliance, Wu and Dongying have mobilized troops. I don’t know what their purpose is at present?”

Xu Ke put the collected information in front of Zhao Xu in the Wangfu study.

This is the news sent back by the four hospital’s eyeliner in Dongpu and Wu Guo’s eyeliner.

“Really?” Zhao Xu frowned slightly.

There is no change in the front line of Jiujiang at the moment, but why is the mobilization of soldiers and horses of powerful clans?

The most important thing is that Dongpu’s soldiers and horses are also mobilized at the same time, which is very strange.

In his opinion, this is likely to be a collective action of the East-Turk Alliance, but he still doesn’t know what its goal is?

Unable to figure it out for a while, he said to Tsui Hark, “Continue to watch every move of the Eastern Land Alliance, and report to the king at any time.”

“Yes, Your Highness.” Xu Hark responded, turned and left.

Ten days later, Tsui Hark came to the palace again with a solemn expression, “Your Highness, Chai Wu has sent news that during this period of time, there have been several conflicts between Dongying and Korean fishermen in the waters between Koryo and Dongying.

” Dongying sent envoys to Koryo, claiming that Dongying fishermen were missing, demanding that Korea hand over Dongying fishermen, and they are still arguing.”

Hearing this, Zhao Xu narrowed his eyes.

He came to the world map and turned his attention to Korea, “Where is the army dispatched by Dongying?”

“Return to Your Highness, it is in Fukuoka.” Xu Hark said.

Zhao Xu patted Gao Li’s position with his hand, and had a vague guess.

He said to Tsui Hark, “Go and call Chang Wei.”

Xu Ke left in response, and Chang Wei arrived in the study not long after.

Zhao Xu then analyzed the situation provided by Tsui Hark to Chang Wei.

“Your Highness means that the Eastern Land Alliance is planning to attack Korea?” Chang Wei asked.

Zhao Xu nodded, “I’m afraid that’s the case, otherwise it wouldn’t be able to explain the recent troop mobilization of the Eastern Land Alliance, as well as the sudden conflict between Korea and Japan.”

He is from the present age and is very familiar with various pretexts for war.

It is very in line with the pretext of war that Dongying asked Korea for fishermen, and it is also in line with the style of the Dongying people.

“But why did they choose Korea?” Chang Wei was a little puzzled.

In his mind, the East-Turk Alliance was going to deal with them, and Goryeo was a vassal of Beidi, their enemy.

The attack on Goryeo has no impact except Yanzhou’s trade with Goryeo.

Zhao Xu shook his head, he didn’t blame Chang Wei for his short-sightedness.

After all, ancient dynasties only had the obligation to protect their vassal states.

Since Goryeo is no longer your vassal state of Dasong, you don’t have to care whether they live or die.

But Chang Weineng thought so, but he couldn’t.

Combining the information collected by Fei Wen and Dong An, he can conclude that the current world is also in the confrontation between two major groups.

In contemporary times, it was the confrontation between the two major blocs, Great Britain and Tsarist Russia, that led to the outbreak of the First World War.

Now that the two major groups from the West and the Earth have come to the East, they naturally have to fight fiercely for the delineation of their sphere of influence.

Therefore, the Eastern Land Alliance chose Goryeo. In Chang Wei’s view, it was a bit abnormal, but in his view it was quite normal.

Because, this operation is not only aimed at him, but also at the country of Ross.

To put it simply, this is a struggle for spheres of influence, a suppression of the country of Ross.

Thinking of this, he analyzed it to Chang Wei.

From now on, he felt that it was time for Da Song’s generals to have an international strategic vision, and not just focus on the country.

“It turns out that there is still such a thing.” Chang Wei nodded slowly, “Since this is the case, we might as well wait and see what happens. If Beidi makes a move, wouldn’t it be the best to let them fight in Gaoli?”

Then he sighed again, ” But if war happens, commerce will definitely be affected.”

Zhao Xu nodded, he had the same idea as Chang Wei, and he would naturally be happy to see the Eastern Land Alliance clash with Beidi.

It’s just that the business with Korea was interrupted, but it was not what he wanted.

Moreover, he has deeper worries.

That is Bei Di may not take action to save Gao Li.

The reason is simple, Beidi is very weak now, and Beidi also knows the strength of the Eastern Land Alliance.

Intervening in the war in Goryeo will only make Beidi fall into the quagmire of war.

If this is the case, Koryo will be controlled by the Eastern Turk Alliance, and he cannot tolerate this situation.

After all, this means that the sphere of influence of the Eastern Land Alliance has expanded to his doorstep.

This place in Goryeo will become a powder keg, which will explode at any time next to Dasong, threatening the safety of Yanzhou and Ning Jindusi.

If this is the case, he will have to intervene in this war, and simply do nothing, and completely turn Goryeo into Dasong’s sphere of influence.

Furthermore, he already had the idea of subduing Goryeo.

He comes from the contemporaries, even the importance of the place.

Thinking of this, he told Chang Wei what he thought.

Chang Wei nodded. Although Gao Li is their enemy, he still understands the truth that the lips are dead and the teeth are cold.

Goryeo poses no threat to Dasong, but Goryeo, which is controlled by the Eastern Land Alliance, is very dangerous.

The Eastern Land Alliance can use this springboard to provoke and create chaos near Yanzhou.

Furthermore, as King Yan said, Goryeo is a powder keg.

If it is not stabilized now and included in Da Song’s sphere of influence, this place will become a bridgehead to contain Da Song in the future.

“Since this is the case, the general recommends not to take any action at the moment, and wait until the Eastern Land Alliance defeats Goryeo, and then it depends on the situation.”

“” If Beidi sends troops, we will wait and see from the other side. Goryeo’s chill is the best time for us to make a move. “Chang Wei said.

Zhao Xu nodded in satisfaction. He had the same idea as Chang Wei.

Sometimes if he is too proactive, he will only be rejected by others. It is best to let them come and ask for it.

After agreeing on this matter, he asked Chang Wei to go back . Preparations.

Britain did not send any troops. In this battle, only the troops of Dongying and Shizu.

These two armies have all fought

against each other. Dealing with them on land is like an adult bullying a child.

This time, we only need to take them If they are driven away, Goryeo can be reintroduced into Dasong’s sphere of influence, and the benefits are still considerable.
