Start Being a Vassal King Today - Chapter 773

[Chapter 773 Prepare to fight]

blue sky.

British merchant ships, towed by a small steamer, sailed first east and then back again.

In just eight days, they arrived in the waters of Yizhou.

After a short rest at Lincheng Port to get supplies, they headed north again.

However, just as they arrived in the southern part of the Yizhou sea area, they saw a fleet of sails towed by a steamer approaching them.

“God, this is King Yan’s fleet.” On the deck, Owen took out his binoculars to look around.

When the news of the annihilation of the British Fleet came, everyone in Calcutta felt incredible, and there was a strong sense of unreality.

How could their British fleet across the world be defeated by the indigenous fleet of the East.

At this moment, looking at the huge sailing fleet under the sun, and the large steamships that were not inferior to Britain, he finally understood.

Like Owen, other Britons have grown their mouths.

He really couldn’t figure it out, Tianzhu, Jakarta, Cochin, Pyuman, these eastern countries are so barbaric, and they are not much different from the natives of the New World.

During their business dealings with the Liang family, they had also learned about Da Song’s situation, so they were a little stronger.

Why did King Yan suddenly appear in such a short period of time?

Could it be that, as rumored, a genius from the West is assisting King Yan.

If this is the case, who is he going to meet this genius for this visit?

Just as he was thinking, he found that the Yanzhou fleet was approaching his ship, and the steamship was traveling very fast.

Knowing that he had nowhere to hide, he simply stopped the ship and waited for the Yanzhou fleet to arrive.

In less than a quarter of an hour, the Yanzhou Fleet arrived, and the huge battleship was crushed like a mountain.

At this time, he raised his hands to show that he was harmless.

Seeing this, the soldiers on the battleship disappeared for a while, and when they came back again, a rope ladder was thrown from above.

Climb aboard the battleship.

Owen was searched by the soldiers beside the ship, and then escorted to the deck.

At this time, he noticed a young man wrapped in a white fox fur, looking towards the sea.

A general who was several years older than the young man and wearing a blue military uniform looked at him with a chill in his eyes.

Seeing this, he suddenly felt frightened, and immediately said: “My name is Owen, and I am a British envoy. I am going to Yanzhou to meet King Yan and establish diplomatic relations. Please let us go.” What

Owen said was lame Ode to language.

Because Britain had long-term trade relations with the Liang family, and he was in charge of this trade, he learned some Dasong language.

It is for this reason that he was chosen as envoy.

“No need.” The general in dark blue uniform was Zhou Yi, he said lightly.

Owen was stunned for a moment, “Can you represent the King of Yan? This is a serious question.”

Zhou Yi and the young man in Huqiu looked at each other, and laughed softly. He said, “The King of Yan is right in front of you. The seat is His Royal Highness King Yan.”

This fox-fur youth is Zhao Xu.

After some preparations, Chang Wei led his troops to go south, and he decided to go south to Yizhou with Zhou Yi.

Take Beiyi Prefecture personally, and meet Fei Wen by the way, to understand Britain’s reaction after the Edo War, and what is it planning.

After all, staying in Yancheng is also leisure.

At present, Jiangbei is developing according to his plan.

The Science and Technology Research Institute, the Bing Division Research Institute, and the Ship Division Research Institute are also conducting research one by one according to the drawings he gave.

“His Royal Highness King Yan!” Owen was taken aback.

The young man in front of him was only twenty years old.

Was Britain defeated by this brat?

“You said that Britain wants to establish diplomatic relations with Da Song?” Zhao Xu turned his head and looked at Owen.

“Yes, His Highness King Yan.” Seeing Zhao Xu’s calm tone, Owen thought there was something going on, and couldn’t help but feel a little happy.

Secretly thinking that Britain’s reputation can still deter the King of Yan, and he can’t refuse Britain’s “goodwill”.

“Yes.” Zhao Xu said lightly, with a smile on his face.

Hearing this, Owen felt complacent for a while. He didn’t expect this visit to be so smooth.

It’s just that the smile on his face disappeared immediately, and Zhao Xu’s words made his heart sink to the bottom.

“However, this king has a condition. Britain must withdraw from the Eastern Land.” Zhao Xu suddenly said sharply.

After Britain joined the Eastern Land Alliance, it tried its best to support Dongpu to deal with him.

This time when he went south to Yizhou and passed Wufeng Island, Gong Ying told him about Britain and Sam’s commitment to Dongying.

The news came from a captured shogunate official.

It can be said that in order to contain him, Britain and the country of Sam are preparing to arm Japan from all aspects.

Outside of Dongying is the country of Wu. During this period of time, Britain has been deliberate and spent a lot of effort to provide firearms and mercenaries to the Jiangnan tribes.

With such blatant malice, now they want to establish diplomatic relations with the Dasong court?

What were they thinking, did he really think he didn’t know?

Coming from contemporary times, he was well aware that Western diplomats were essentially spies.

Furthermore, the British fleet in the east was wiped out by him, leaving them in a weak position, and it took time to wait for the arrival of local support.

Therefore, the so-called diplomatic exchanges are really not simple, and he thinks it is unnecessary.

Of course, the direct refusal shows that he is not arrogant and unreasonable. Why don’t he just put forward a condition. If Britain can’t agree, it means that they are not sincere.

“It is absolutely impossible for me, Britain, to agree to this condition.” Owen said directly.

Tianzhu is Britain’s most important commodity dumping place and source of resources.

For the sake of Tianzhu, they even did not hesitate to fight the country of Ross.

There is no doubt that Governor Bolt and the Council will never agree.

This is simply a humiliation to the superpower Britain.

“Then there is nothing to talk about. Go back and tell your governor and your queen that there are two ways for you to leave the Eastern Land. The first is to withdraw by yourself decently. The second is that the king will lead the army and personally Drive you out!” Zhao Xu said coldly.

Owen’s face turned pale. At this moment, he was overwhelmed by King Yan’s aura.

Zhou Yi said at this time: “The two countries are at war, if you don’t kill the envoy, you can disembark now.”

Owen regained his composure and got off the warship in a daze.

Back on his merchant ship, he headed straight back.

It is meaningless to go to Yanzhou again.

Watching Owen’s boat leave, Zhou Yi said: “Your Highness really doesn’t show any affection to Britain, but it’s really a pleasure. In the East, we are not afraid of them.”

Zhao Xu watched the waves on the sea, and said slowly: “The conflict between us and the West is irreconcilable. We want the entire sphere of influence of the East, and even a wider sphere of influence, and these are in the hands of the countries of the West. Will they give it up?” After

a pause, he continued Said: “Even if they have a temporary compromise, it is only to accumulate strength and find other ways to kill us.”

He actually weighed, is there any benefit to establishing diplomatic relations with Britain?

The only benefit that Britain can give is to allow trade between the two countries.

But even if Britain says yes, will they really take action?

Based on contemporary experience, I am afraid that Britain will continue to drag the trade agreement.

When they accumulate strength, they will immediately tear up the treaty.

In contemporary history, they have done such things a lot.

Wasn’t a big country with the surname Su just fooled and crippled back then?

And in the end, none of what they promised came true.

Therefore, he thought very thoroughly.

Give up fantasy and get ready to fight.
