Start Being a Vassal King Today - Chapter 733
[Chapter 733 The Art of Control]
“Little Wang, thank you Your Highness!” Chang Wei dispatched troops, and Zhao Xu arrived at the Royal Palace of Korea under the escort of Xu Lie and other guards.
At this time, the King of Korea led a group of generals and ministers to kneel in front of Zhao Xu.
Followed King Yan all the way to Land City, and saw with his own eyes the strength of King Yan’s soldiers and horses.
The East-Turk Allied Forces, who had beaten them so helplessly, were vulnerable in front of King Yan’s soldiers and horses.
Seeing the firearms of King Yan’s army with their own eyes, they were even more frightened.
Since ancient times, Goryeo has been unable to escape the fate of a dependent state.
Either being conquered by the grassland empire in the north, or paying tribute to the Central Plains dynasty.
For a hundred years, they have regarded Beidi as a superior country and bullied Dasong.
But now, they are abandoned by Beidi.
While expelling the Eastern Allied Forces, King Yan also showed them the strength that could destroy Goryeo at any time.
How dare they not submit to King Yan’s feet.
Zhao Xu looked at the King of Korea and the ministers and officials.
After letting them kneel for a while, he lazily said the word “excuse me”.
He will not be deceived by King Goryeo’s superficial obedience.
Use a contemporary name to evaluate Goryeo.
This Goryeo is a lowly barbarian, who cannot be treated with benevolence and righteousness, and cannot be blamed for common courtesy. In ancient times, fish, turtles and livestock were used, so it is advisable to be broad.
It means that they are too cheap to be treated with kindness and righteousness.
This can also be glimpsed from a certain Bangzi country in the contemporary era.
It’s the extreme low self-esteem and the extreme arrogance.
Don’t clean them up, they are uncomfortable.
Therefore, he would never trust King Gaoli just because of his obedience.
He will ask Chai Wu to establish a branch of the Fourth Court in Goryeo, just like Jin Yiwei, to monitor Goryeo.
At the same time, Mi Wen’s Propaganda Department will be asked to set up a newspaper office in Rangseong to brainwash the Koreans for a long time.
He will also station an army of about 2,000 people in Land City.
Of course, all the salaries and food for the army were borne by Goryeo.
In this way, no matter what the King of Korea or the powerful ministers of Korea do.
He was able to nip it in the bud in the first place.
“Remember, from now on, Goryeo will be my king’s Goryeo. You are just guarding this place for me. If you disagree, I will let you die without a place to bury you.” Zhao Xu said slowly.
“Don’t dare, dare not.” King Gaoli waved his hands again and again, “Even if Xiao Wang is given a hundred courage, Xiao Wang will not dare to betray His Highness.”
Zhao Xu nodded, “In that case,” from now on, I will execute you The contract concluded in Yancheng. ”
King of Koryo answered yes repeatedly.
Thinking of something, he said again: “Also, the king needs 300,000 young and strong to build the railway, and he has to choose from you common people in Koryo. You should know what to do, right?” ”
Although the steam locomotive was successfully tested, the railway is the real big project, and it is a long-term project.
At the same time, it requires a lot of labor.
He is more willing to let the people of Dasong enter the workshop and become some skilled workers.
The pure railway laying The heavy coolies are still let the Koreans come.
After all, in these years, there are not 100,000 people in Dasong who died at the hands of the Koreans. There are 80,000.
Just like an avalanche, no snowflake is innocent.
Naturally, the people of Korea are not innocent
. The Goryeo soldiers who burned, killed and looted Beidi came from the Goryeo people.
Now, they just repay their debts.
“His Royal Highness has the gift of rebirth to Goryeo. This is just a trivial matter. The little king will recruit people in the name of corvee and go to Dasong to help His Highness build the railway.” King Gaoli said. Buy
it or not? Although he doesn’t know what a railway is, he obviously can’t refuse.
This time King Yan gave him an order for the first time.
If it is not done properly, I am afraid that I will not be the king of Korea for many days.
Upon hearing this, Zhao Xu nodded in satisfaction.
At the moment, except for the Iron and Steel Workshop of the Bingzhan Division.
The Ministry of Industry is building the Wutong Iron and Steel Works District, which is a hundred times larger than the Bingzhangsi Iron and Steel Works, in Wutong County, Daijun, near Jinzhou in Yanzhou.
This is the largest iron mine in Yanzhou, and because it is close to Jinzhou, it is easy to obtain coal, and it will become the largest iron and steel workshop in Dasong in the future.
In addition, there is Yuanyang County in Yan County.
This is located in the contemporary Tangshan area, which is rich in coal and iron ore.
There are many steel factories in modern times.
He also ordered the Ministry of Industry to turn it into a steel production area.
It was settled.
Zhao Xu temporarily lived in Land City.
Although the soil city was won, the war in Goryeo continued.
Before he could completely defeat the East-Turk Allied Forces, he had to hold on to a string in his heart.
After all, just in the waters south of Koryo, there are still hidden fleets of Britain and Wu.
If so, it would be troublesome for the East-Turk Allied Forces to rely on the artillery on the warships to build positions on the tidal flats.
After all, if the Eastern Allied Forces do not withdraw from Goryeo, the royal army will have to stay in Goryeo to fight.
three days later.
Qin Shan and Guan Tong, who were in charge of the pursuit, sent news.
Just as he guessed.
After the Eastern Allied Forces withdrew from Land City, they went all the way south, abandoning the cities along the way.
However, they stopped in Qinghe County, Jinhae County, Korea, and defended the area near the Qinghe Wharf.
“When Qin Shan and Guan Tong arrived, the warships of the East-Tu Allied Forces bombarded them, and because they got the news in advance, they dug some trenches to defend them.” Chang Wei reported to Zhao Xu.
Zhao Xu nodded.
Koryo is only a tiny place, and a fast horse can run from south to north in just one day.
The Eastern Land Allied Forces’ soil city was defeated, so they must send someone to spread the news quickly.
“Your Highness, the range of the artillery on the British battleship is comparable to that of our warship, which means that they have a fort that can move at sea, which is very troublesome.” Chang Wei frowned, “Maybe it’s time for our fleet to attack and clean up. British warships.”
“Yes.” Zhao Xu was also thinking about this issue.
In terms of the number of sailing warships, he is three times that of Britain.
But this time the East-Turk Allied Forces had more than 200 warships from the State of Wu in addition to the British warships.
In a real fight, they might not win.
However, he does not necessarily have to engage the Eastern Turkmenistan Fleet head-on.
Just send his fleet to the nearby seas.
In this way, the twelve galleys of Britain must withdraw from the coast to guard against his fleet.
If they don’t come out, let Zhou Yi pack up Wu’s warships and force them to come out.
When they came out, Yanzhou warships withdrew, and when they went back, Yanzhou warships continued to harass them.
In this way, all their wishful thinking was in vain.
Thinking of this, he said to Chang Wei: “This king will give an order to Zhou Yi.”
This time the Eastern Allied Forces swaggered to attack Goryeo, completely ignoring the existence of the Yanzhou Fleet.
Presumably the commander of the British fleet must have thought that he was afraid of the steam warships of Britain and would not dare to fight with them.
For the uninformed, they will indeed be bluffed by their steamboats.
But he is from the present age, and he has never seen anything in the world.
He didn’t dare to fight in Jiujiang because the sailing warship fought against the current, and the disadvantage was very great.
But at sea, the disadvantage can be reduced by simply looking for a day with good wind.
It won’t be like they think, and they won’t even dare to touch them.
