Start Being a Vassal King Today - Chapter 778

[Chapter 778 Broken Negotiation]

Yizhou.

Antler City.

Zhao Xu waited for two days, and a Franz warship came from the south.

The battleship was moored at the port, and Fevin got off the battleship.

Glancing at the Yanzhou steamship that was also docked at the pier, he looked solemn.

Currently in the West, only the four countries of Britain, Frank, Germany, and Ross, and the five countries of Sam across the ocean can manufacture steamships.

What he didn’t expect was that a country capable of manufacturing steamships appeared in the east, which was really shocking.

Originally, he still had some doubts about the news of the Edo naval battle in Japan.

Now that he had seen the steamships with his own eyes, he finally believed it.

“Governor Fei Wen, His Highness is waiting for you in Antler City.” Pan Chang said.

The navy’s steamship has been patrolling nearby. As soon as Franji’s battleship appeared, the news was sent to Antler City.

He was ordered to come and escort him.

“Please.” Fei Wen stretched out his hand, motioning for Pan Chang to lead the way.

At the same time, my heart couldn’t help but tighten.

King Yan asked him to come, but he dared not not come.

The Battle of Goryeo proved the strength of King Yan’s army, and the Battle of Edo proved the strength of King Yan’s navy.

How could he offend a vassal in charge of such a powerful army?

Furthermore, King Yan occupied the north of Yizhou, will he attack Marka City next?

On this point, he also wanted to find out what King Yan said.

If King Yan insisted on expelling them, they had no choice but to withdraw from Yizhou.

He knew very well that with the strength of Frangji in Marka City, it was impossible to resist King Yan’s army.

Following Pan Chang all the way, Fei Wen arrived at Lujiao City, and met a young man in the main hall of the government office, it was Zhao Xu.

“His Royal Highness King Yan, I have heard of your reputation for a long time, and it is a great honor to meet you.” Fei Wen sized up Zhao Xu and bowed to salute.

“Excuse me.” Zhao Xu took a few glances at Fei Wen with a calm expression.

Although Fei Wen provided him with a lot of information about Xitu, it didn’t mean that Zhao Xu would have a good impression of him.

Because it was in exchange for Chang Pan saving him.

Moreover, he didn’t think that Fevin was a peace envoy.

People who can be sent to such a far place in Dongtu by Frangji must be ruthless.

Otherwise, it would be impossible to deter the garrison of Marka City.

Furthermore, as far as he knew, Franz had been bullying the great merchants at sea for a long time.

It’s just that these merchants belong to the Liang family and are not known to anyone.

Although he is currently hostile to the Liang family, he will not be happy because the merchants of the Liang family were bullied by Flang Ji.

Internal conflicts are internal conflicts after all, and they are both Dasong people after all.

Therefore, when he saw Fei Wen, he was just ordinary.

“Your Highness asked me to come, I don’t know why? Please explain to Your Highness.” Seeing Zhao Xu’s indifferent expression, Fei Wen became more nervous and asked cautiously.

Zhao Xu said: “This king is not a man who likes to give way, and I will make it clear in front of Governor Fei Wen today.”

After pondering for a while, he said: “This Yizhou is my territory, and it was first invaded by the Sterdan people. Then it fell into the hands of your Fulangji people, and it was divided equally with Dongying 30 years ago. Today, half of it was taken back by this king and brought into the Dasong court, and the remaining half, this king will eventually get it back. ”

Hearing this, Fei Wen’s face turned ashen, and he thought to himself that this day has finally come.

A few days ago, the British Governor Bolt met with the Governor of Sterdam, the Frankish Governor and him, plus the country of Sam, a total of five countries have interests in the East.

When Bolt invited him to join the Eastern Land Alliance, he made it clear that the King of Yan would take Yizhou, and now he really said it.

“Is Your Highness going to attack Marka City?” Fei Wen snapped, “Although there are only 8,000 soldiers in Marka City, we are determined to fight King Yan to protect the glory of Frangji.”

“Hahaha…” After Fei Wen finished speaking, Pan Chang, Zhou Yi and the others gave mocking smiles, and the corners of Zhao Xu’s mouth also turned up.

They were not angry, they were just amused.

It’s like a praying mantis lying under the wheel, clamoring to block the progress of the wheel.

“What are you laughing at?” Fei Wen burst into embarrassment, feeling the disdain from the three of King Yan.

Zhou Yi and Pan Chang laughed for a while, then stopped, Zhao Xu said lightly: “If Governor Fei Wen wants me to go this way, I don’t mind, just one day, the city of Marka will be in ruins .”

Fei Wen was only stern, but in his heart, what he feared most was King Yan’s attack on Marka City.

Because of this, he was so obedient and came to Antler City.

Seeing that King Yan seemed to be talking again, he calmed down, “Your Highness, what do you mean by Fu Langji?”

Zhao Xu nodded, he had no illusions about Xitu.

But at the same time, he also hopes to create a rift within the West, at least so that other Western countries will not follow Britain to deal with him.

Even if they don’t work hard, it’s okay.

In this way, he can concentrate his forces on the main enemy.

Because of this, he took this move and tried it.

So he said: “My king can allow you to conduct normal trade in the eastern land, but the premise is that you must give up the colony in the eastern land and withdraw your troops in the colony.”

“What?” Fei Wen was stunned for a while, He suddenly shook his head, “Your Highness, this matter is simply impossible. No western country will give up its colonies, and Francois will never agree.”

Zhao Xu shook his head. It was a failure.

Fei Wen’s attitude was firm, and there was no room for discussion.

In fact, it is true.

In the contemporary nineteenth century, the only way for emerging powers to seize colonies from old powers was through war.

The Spanish-American War in 1898 was triggered by the United States wanting to seize Spanish colonies.

At the beginning, the United States put pressure on various means, trying to get Spain to give up the Philippines on its own initiative.

But even Spain, which was extremely weak at the time, did not agree.

In the end, the United States decided to go to war and attacked the Spanish defenders, forcing the Spanish defenders to surrender.

The following year, the two parties formally signed the Paris Peace Treaty in Paris, ceding the Philippines.

Just imagine, the Western Turks are still killing each other for the sake of the colonies.

He, an Eastern country, now wants to seize the colonies from the Western countries, and it is impossible not to go through bloody wars.

This is an era of the jungle, and Western countries especially believe in this rule.

It is true for them that the strong enslave the weak.

“Unfortunately, since this is the case, the king can only take the city of Marka by force.” Zhao Xu got up, his eyes were like lightning.

The territory obtained during this period may be the fixed territory of Dasong in the future.

In contemporary times, the Western countries were originally merely huddled in the European continent.

Three hundred years of colonization allowed the Onsa people to occupy North America, Australia and many islands in the ocean.

Although France declined, it still controlled many countries in Africa.

So, how can he hand over the dividends of this era.

At this moment, if he hesitates again and hesitates to move forward, the Dasong people in a hundred years will definitely call him incompetent.
