Start Being a Vassal King Today - Chapter 751
[Chapter 751]
“Call Chang Wei here.” Zhao Xu said to Xu Ke when he came to the map and pressed his hand on the map.
In response, Tsui Hark left the study.
After a stick of incense, Chang Wei strode to the study.
“Your Highness, the last general has just received an urgent military message from the border.” Entering the study, Chang Wei hurriedly said.
He was on his way to the palace, and met Tsui Hark on the way.
Knowing that King Yan was looking for him, he hurried to arrive.
“This king already knows, Xu Ke, please take a quick step.” Zhao Xu said.
It’s not Chang Wei’s fault. After all, the Fourth Academy went deep behind the enemy’s rear and was able to grasp the opportunity better than them.
Chang Wei smiled embarrassingly, and his expression suddenly became serious, “This Beidi and Wu Guonan are singing together, this is itchy, it’s time to deal with them.
” It’s a trick with Britain, they like us to fight with the Shizu and Beidi the most.” Zhao Xu said.
“It’s Dongying again.” Chang Wei was furious, “They are like shit on their feet. Wherever they go, wherever they follow, they are smelly and disgusting.”
“This sentence describes it well. The king will deal with them specially.” Zhao Xu said.
In the past two days, he was preparing to leave for Tranquility Sea.
Chen Shou sent the news that in seven days, the first batch of 24 steam ships will be launched, and 24 sail warships will be launched at the same time.
In this way, the Yanzhou Navy has 24 steam ships and 60 sail warships.
Although this number may only be one-tenth of the British fleet.
But in the eastern sea area, he can basically walk sideways.
“It should have been like this a long time ago.” Chang Wei glanced at Dongying on the map, and a fierce light flashed in his eyes.
It’s just a pity that King Yan handed over the task of attacking Japan this time to the navy and the marines under his command.
Otherwise, he will definitely want the power of the prince’s family and the army.
Zhao Xu nodded, thought for a while, and said, “You can leave the affairs of Dongying to Zhou Yi. You will deal with the provocations from the north and the south, and prepare for the war going south.”
“Yes, Your Highness.” Chang Wei said.
Before he came, he had expected this to happen, and had a preliminary idea in his mind.
Ning Jin Dusi naturally has Ning Jinjun to deal with.
The Majia army in the west has been changed to the Qin army at present, and the Qin army is in charge of the west.
In the south, the army of the royal palace had to take action in person.
“By the way, when I go back, I will stop by the Military Division and bring back the new firearms.” Zhao Xu added.
Chang Wei was overjoyed.
He naturally knew all about the firearms that the King of Yan ordered the Bing Zhansi to develop during this time.
This time, these new firearms will be put into the battlefield, which is enough for Beidi and the influential people to drink a pot.
After Chang Wei left, Zhao Xu went back to his dormitory and asked Yang Susu to pack some clothes for him before heading to Jinghai.
“We’re going to fight again.” Yang Susu held Zhao Xu’s hand.
Tsui Hark and Chang Wei went to the study one after another, all of them looked solemn.
She was born in the general family and is a smart person, so she naturally guessed one or two.
“That’s right, the surrounding area is still small and small, and there will be no peaceful days in Dashui. At the same time, it is time to unify Dashang and end the civil strife. Otherwise, when will the people kill each other?” Zhao Xu patted the back of Yang Susu’s hand.
Once the steamship is launched, he can completely cut off the communication channels of the Eastern Turkistan Alliance at sea.
In addition to dealing with Japan, you can also go south with peace of mind.
As for Beidi, its territory is too vast. To defeat this powerful enemy in the north, it is necessary to unite and concentrate on dealing with it.
“Well, Your Highness cares about the world, but you should also pay attention to your own safety. After all, this eulogy cannot be separated from Your Highness.” Yang Susu said softly.
King Yan fought, and she never fettered him with the love of her children.
It’s not that she doesn’t care, but that she knows that she can’t hold Yan Wang back.
Hearing this, Zhao Xu smiled, “I’m not teasing you, this time I just went to Jinghai County to watch the launch of the steamship, if you want to go, you can go with me, but if the war starts in the south, I can’t say that I will go south.” Zheng.”
Hearing this, Yang Susu breathed a sigh of relief at first, but the second half of the sentence made her nervous again.
Shaking her head helplessly, she said: “Then this time the concubine will go even more, and I can spend more time with His Highness.”
Zhao Xu nodded.
At this time, Yang Susu asked Feng’er and Luan’er to clean up with her.
The next day, Zhao Xu and his party went to Jinghai.
The four sat in the carriage, talking and laughing, the two-day journey was not boring.
In the evening of the second day, he arrived in Jinghai.
Chen Shou got the news in advance and greeted him at the gate of the city.
That night, Zhao Xu lived in Jinghai’s other courtyard.
After resting overnight, he led Yang Susu to the shipbuilding workshop of the Naval Department in the early morning of the next day.
At this moment, twelve steamships stood quietly in the dry dock.
In addition to a soaring chimney on the deck, there are two masts at the front and rear.
This is to prevent the steamship’s steam engine from malfunctioning and the steamship to lie down.
At that time, the soft sails are hoisted, and the steamship can sail by the wind.
On the steamship, the sailors were ready and awaiting the order to launch.
Before, they were familiar with the structure of steamships under the guidance of shipbuilders.
Then, he looked at the twelve dry docks on the south side, where there were sailing warships.
Zhao Xu nodded in satisfaction.
In addition to here, the shipbuilding workshop in Pingcheng is also holding a launching ceremony simultaneously.
With these warships forming combat effectiveness, the Yanzhou Navy will be able to dominate the Eastern Seas.
In particular, these sailing warships have partially replaced rifled guns and conical shells.
“Your Highness, you can go into the water.” When Zhao Xu was inspecting the steamship, Zhou Yi stiffened.
Now that the naval base is in Jinghai, he is naturally indispensable for the launching ceremony.
When Chen Shou saw Zhou Yi, he said to Zhao Xu: “His Royal Highness, General Zhou has been following the minister all day long during this time. This steamboat was launched because of his hard work.”
Zhao Xu laughed, and Chen Shou was complaining . Like a follower, Zhou Yi urged and supervised the construction of the steamship.
However, he could also understand Zhou Yi’s mood. After all, he had seen the advantages of steamships in naval battles in the Koryo waters.
Zhou Yi also laughed out loud when he heard the words. In fact, he and Chen Shou had a good relationship, and Chen Shou was just joking.
He took the bait and said: “It’s not my fault, I was also forced by the soldiers, they talked about this steamship all day long.”
After finishing speaking, the three of them laughed again.
Zhao Xu said at this time: “In this case, let everyone be happy, happy, let’s go into the water.”
“Yes, Your Highness!” Chen Shou said.
Zhou Yi replied yes and asked the crew of the steamship to prepare.
Immediately, he ordered people to open the sluice gate, and the sea water surged into the dry dock, and the steam ship and sail warship floated up at the same time.
When the water in the dry dock was level with the sea, white smoke rose from the chimney of the steamer.
“Woooo…” A whistle sounded, resounding through the sky.
The propellers of the steamships turned, and the twelve steamships slowly pulled out of the dry dock.
