Start Being a Vassal King Today - Chapter 740

[Chapter 740 Next Step]

“Your Highness, the British fleet is fleeing towards Dongying, and the general has ordered warships to wipe out the fleeing Wu warships and Dongying ships.”

After inquiring where King Yan was, Zhou Yi immediately came back to report.

In front of the tent, Zhao Xu was eating with Chang Wei, Qin Shan, Guan Tong and Lu Chang.

After cleaning up the remnants of the enemy, the soldiers found a large amount of Japanese luggage in the warehouse at the dock.

Including a lot of dried beef and mutton, also found some seafood.

It may be that Japanese soldiers caught it in the nearby waters before the war started.

To prevent the food from being poisonous, Xu Lie caught a few Japanese soldiers and let them taste it first.

After confirming that it was not poisonous, Zhao Xu ordered the distribution of these things to let the soldiers have a good time at night.

If the meat is not enough to eat, it will be boiled into soup.

But the food is absolutely full, and there is still a lot of food and grass left by the Dongying people.

“Leave them alone, come and have dinner together.” Zhao Xu said to Zhou Yi.

It was enough for the British battleship to escape, and he didn’t bother to care where he went.

The war in Koryo ended, and no matter how many British warships jumped around, it would not affect the outcome of the war.

“Hey…” Zhou Yi laughed twice, sat down too, made a bowl of rice, and went to scoop up the soup in the pot.

His nerves have been in a state of high tension since he arrived at Qinghe Sea Area, and now he can finally relax.

“Your Highness, this Korean war is over, what should we do next, whether to clean up Beidi, or go south, or…” Chang Wei muttered while stuffing rice into his mouth, and pouted his mouth to the east, meaning Dongying.

Zhao Xu pondered for a while, then he said: “Of course it is to clean up Dongying. This thing is very bad. If we don’t beat them up, they will continue to stir up trouble.”

Dongying can send troops to Goryeo this time, and next time it can send troops to Wu State. It’s endless.

He will not give the East Turk Alliance a chance to continue to intervene in Dasong by rampaging across the sea.

Furthermore, after winning Korea, he expanded his sphere of influence to the opposite side of Japan.

After all, the narrowest part of the sea between Koryo and Dongying is only about 350 miles.

It is very convenient to transport troops from Korea to Dongying.

The transportation is convenient, which means that it will be much easier to clean up Japan.

Another point is that all kinds of workshops are currently being fully rolled out in Jiangbei. In a year and a half, Jiangbei’s industrial production capacity will be greatly improved.

The goods produced by then will quickly exceed demand.

In order not to affect the development of the industry, the market must be expanded outwards.

Goryeo won it for him, and the nearest market is no longer a problem.

Dongying is another big market of Dongtu, with a population of nearly 30 million.

He naturally wants to hold this market in his own hands.

It is better to make him cheaper than the natives.

Think of it as Dongpu making atonement to Dasong.

Over the years, the Dongying pirates have stolen a lot of wealth from Dasong.

“Hahaha, Your Highness is right. The general has long been displeased with Dongying, a puny boy. He supports the powerful clan against us. It’s time for us to deal with them.” Lu Chang ate up all the food in his bowl, and beat him again. Bowl of rice.

Qin Shan said: “This time, are we going to cross the sea to fight?”

Guan Tong also looked at Zhao Xu with excitement.

Zhao Xu shook his head, “I don’t need you for the time being, let the navy and marines go first.”

For him, the most important thing is the hegemony of the sea.

So, his plans haven’t changed.

When the steamship is launched, it will allow Zhou Yi to drive the British fleet away from the waters near Dasong, supplemented by marines to deal with Japan.

He has ordered Zhou Yi to expand the Marine Corps to 30,000.

And with the mobility of the Navy, Marines can quickly move from one point to another.

Form a force advantage in the local area to attack Japan.

After all, it is impossible for Japan to mobilize its troops faster than them.

In this way, the Japanese army can be exhausted.

In the end, Dongying had to submit to him like the country of Sam and Britain, and signed a trade treaty with him.

At this stage, it is enough for him to achieve this goal, and he does not want to have a full-scale national war with Japan yet.

the reason is simple.

Dongying, blocked by the Yanzhou fleet, is like a wild dog in a cage, unable to pose any threat to Da Song.

Use commerce to draw blood from it, just enter Da Song.

Of course, it is not impossible for him to conquer Japan in an all-out national war.

But Beidi, the Ross people, the Britons, and the Dasong clan will definitely die happily, and they will definitely find a way to drag themselves on the battlefield in Japan.

Furthermore, for the Japanese shogunate, it is easier for them to accept the signing of unequal treaties.

In a national war, they will definitely resist with all their strength, and make the other party all soldiers, and they will fall into the quagmire of war.

At that time, business cannot be done, and you will have to lose money and fight wars.

This is a loss-making business.

However, he also knew that Japan would be subdued on the surface just by signing an unequal treaty, but he would definitely not be convinced in his heart.

The gap in technology between the two sides is not enough to make them kneel and lick Tang Chao like kneeling and licking him.

Therefore, after using commerce to draw blood, making Dasong Industry more sophisticated, and developing weapons that are against them across the ages, he will deliberately loosen the dog leash, let Dongpu continue to toss, and fight to determine the world.

Completely castrate Dongpu psychologically, so that they can no longer have any resistance.

“Thank you, Your Highness.” Zhou Yi heard that the task of attacking Dongpu was his, and immediately became excited, the most embarrassing.

Chang Wei looked at Zhou Yi with a sour expression on his face, “Zhou Yi, you will have a drink when you come to Yancheng. You have snatched all the battles of our royal family’s army.”

“Of course, of course.” Zhou Yi laughed stand up.

Zhao Xu shook his head helplessly, “It’s not that you have nothing to do. After the sea matter is settled, it’s time to go south. We can’t let Da Song continue to be divided like this.”

This is a turbulent era.

The Western Lands conquered most of the world, and finally set their sights on Dasong, the only remaining pure land.

At the same time, Western Earth is also at the end of the first industrial revolution.

In just over ten years, they will naturally enter the second industrial revolution.

Put more power into the East.

At this point in time, the longer unification is delayed, the more difficult it will be in the future.

“It’s not bad to clean up the powerful clan.” Chang Wei was satisfied. “This time Wu Guo is really capable. He actually followed Dongying to fight against Korea. I really don’t know how much he is.”

“This is why this king wants to dismantle the Eastern Land Alliance The reason is that Dongying, Wu, Sam, and Britain have become one,” said Zhao Xu.

The country of Sam is too far away from Britain, and he can’t reach it for the time being.

But it is still possible to clean up Dongying and Wu Guo first.

After eating, everyone chatted for a while before they dispersed.

The next day, he asked Chang Wei to leave 30,000 people in Koryo, and the rest to withdraw to Dasong.

When the situation in Koryo stabilized, the 30,000 people would be withdrawn one after another, leaving only 2,000 people to garrison in Land City.
