Start Being a Vassal King Today - Chapter 747

[Chapter 747 Diplomatic Offensive]

“Britain and Sam will fully support my country of Wu!”

Yushufang.

After the simple exchange of greetings, the British envoy relayed Wolfe’s words, and Liang Kai was suddenly taken aback.

Then it was ecstasy.

According to Wolfe, this comprehensive support included the best flintlock muskets and artillery in Britain at the time.

If Wolff’s proposal is passed by the British Parliament, Britain will even send personnel from the mainland to transport steam engines to the country of Wu.

Through the steam warship, he saw the steam engine with his own eyes, and learned about the function of the steam engine from Wolff.

If the same factory as Britain can be established in Wu State, why would he not be able to defeat the King of Yan and unify him.

“Please tell Lieutenant Wolf, I am very grateful to him.” Liang Kai trembled excitedly.

Then he said to the eunuch he served: “Prepare one hundred thousand taels of people to give to Lieutenant Wolf, and then give five thousand taels of silver to this Lord Peter.”

The name of the British envoy was Peter, and he said happily: “You are really a generous Emperor.”

They had long learned that the Dasong Dynasty was very rich, but at the same time very weak, like a sickly rich merchant.

For such an indigenous dynasty, any western country would salivate.

What’s more, Wu Guo also maintains a trade surplus with Britain all the year round.

Therefore, the parliament formulated the strategy of invading Wu, forcing Wu to sign unequal treaties and demanding compensation.

But unexpectedly, this plan was broken by Yan Wang in the north.

Now, they have to change their plans and choose to support Wu.

Of course, this kind of support will not be free, they don’t want to suffer, and all the support provided to Wu country needs them to pay for it.

What’s more, Wu Guo agreed to the tobacco and soil trade, which is the basis for them to reverse the trade.

However, there is another point, which is also the purpose of his visit this time.

Wu Guo must show sincerity before this kind of support can begin.

Otherwise, even if Wu Guo gave money, they would not be able to get their support.

So he said: “But I still haven’t finished my sentence. Lieutenant Wolfe asked Wu Guo to provoke a war along the Jiujiang River to divert King Yan’s attention and prevent King Yan from attacking our British fleet and attacking Dongying. Unfavorable.”

“What!” Liang Kai’s face immediately turned down when he heard this.

In the first battle of Koryo, more than 200 warships he sent were damaged by 60%, and all 100,000 powerful troops were wiped out.

For this reason, he didn’t sleep well for a few days in distress, and felt more and more difficult to provoke King Yan’s army.

Now, the Britons actually asked him to provoke the King of Yan. This is simply an old woman who eats arsenic and thinks she will die too late.

There was a layer of cold sweat on his forehead, and he said: “Eastern soil coalition forces were unable to defeat King Yan in Koryo, wouldn’t it be embarrassing for me to let Wu Guo independently deal with King Yan?”

Pete sneered: “Your Majesty thinks that my British firearms Is it that easy to get a steam engine? What’s more, it’s not for you to make the Northern Expedition of Wu, but to provoke you along the river, just to make a gesture of going north, and hold back the soldiers and horses of King Yan. If you don’t even have this courage, I, Britain, will There is no need to support you.”

“This…” Liang Kai rolled his eyes.

Obviously, Britain’s full support is conditional.

However, he had a secret agreement with King Yan.

If you break the promise, King Yan will definitely be rude.

But he thought about it again, secretly thinking that King Yan gave him the blueprint of the sailing warship just to stabilize him, so that he could concentrate on dealing with the Japanese and British.

Sooner or later it will go south.

At that time, with the strength of King Yan’s soldiers and horses, it will be difficult for him to support.

Most importantly, what Britain gave him this time was much more than what King Yan gave him.

Britain’s comprehensive support also includes helping Wu build sailing warships.

In this way, the sweetness given by King Yan seems insignificant.

Coupled with the shadow of the Goryeo War, he felt even more unable to leave the East-Turk Alliance.

Thinking of this, he gritted his teeth. He will not fight a big battle for the time being, but it is not impossible to fight some small battles.

After deciding on this matter, he nodded slowly, “Yes, but at least let Wu Guo see some benefits first, otherwise, it will be difficult for me to convince the officials.”

After finishing speaking, his eyes flickered.

Pete secretly thought that Liang Kai was indeed an old fox as Watanabe said.

Nodding his head, he said: “Within a month, a batch of guns and artillery from Tianzhu will arrive in Lincheng. Of course, you have to pay for it.”

After a pause, he continued: “One more thing, Wolfe The lieutenant suggested that Your Majesty spend some money to get rid of the disaster, and spend some money to recruit mercenaries to fight for him, and we, Britain, can act as an intermediary.”

Liang Kai’s eyes lit up.

Dasong has banned the sea for more than two hundred years, and his Liang family has also monopolized the sea trade for more than two hundred years, accumulating a huge amount of wealth.

If the king of Yan calls, the wealth will eventually be taken by the king of Yan.

Instead of this, it is better to use it against King Yan.

He has also heard about the mercenaries in the western lands. They kill people and sell goods, they are fierce and fierce, and they are often led by veterans who don’t want to die.

If he can be hired to fight, he can deal with King Yan’s army without having to fight against Wu’s army, so why not do it.

“Great, this is really a great help to our country of Wu. As long as there are mercenaries who are willing to fight for our country of Wu, how many do we want from our country of Wu?” Liang Kai waved his hand very proudly.

“It’s a deal.” Pete raised his chin.

This time, his purpose of coming to Wu country has been achieved.

…

Beidi.

Tongniu Wangzhang Ranch.

When the British envoy arrived in Wu State, Mahisa Sato also arrived here.

After the Koryo War broke out, he returned to Dongying from Lincheng.

This time, he was ordered by the Watanabe case to go to Beidi.

After expressing his intention, Ram sent cavalry to escort him to Khan Court.

After five days of trekking, he saw a golden tent in the vast grassland.

At this moment, Mule Hongzhen and Ivan had already received the news in advance.

Under the guidance of the guards, Majiu Sato entered the sweat tent, and met Mu Le Hongzhen who was sitting in the main seat and Ivan who was next.

In addition, there are Iron Wood Tower and Ulan Ba.

After introducing each other, Makoto Sato said: “Great Khan, Consul Ivan, this time I came here under the order of General Watanabe, and I hope Beidi and Ross Kingdom will join us in resisting King Yan. Now, Goryeo This former vassal state of Beidi bowed its knees to King Yan, don’t you feel the threat of King Yan?”

Mu Lehongzhen and Ivan looked at each other.

In Koryo, the Allied Forces of the Eastern Land had a bad nose, and now that Sato Mahisa is here again, they know exactly what Dongying is up to.

Similarly, the tentative attack of the Tongniu king’s tent on the army of the king of Yan also made Mu Le Hongzhen realize a problem, the army of the king of Yan is becoming more and more terrifying.

This is fatal to Beidi.

As far as Ivan is concerned, he is worried that the territory that Ross has just acquired from Beidi will be threatened by King Yan in the future.

In the past, in order to tie Beidi to the chariot of Ross State, he had a temporary cooperation with King Yan.

This is a shared interest.

Now, King Yan is threatening the interests of Ross, which is contrary to interests.

He needs to find a way to deal with it.
