Start Being a Vassal King Today - Chapter 782

[Chapter 782]

“Before Liang Kai issued the imperial edict, he summoned Luther, the mercenary commander. This idea may not have been thought up by Liang Kai.” Thinking of the contents of the letter, Zhao Xu narrowed his eyes.

The number of mercenaries in Wu State has reached 20,000, which is not a small scale.

Moreover, many of these mercenaries are retired veterans of the western lands, and some are natives of Tianzhu and the eastern and southern regions.

After undergoing the training of these veterans, they also hold the same firearms as the current Western soil level.

These mercenaries are not to be underestimated.

When the battle broke out, he must let Chang Wei pay attention, so as not to be careless and cause unnecessary casualties to the royal family’s troops.

“No matter who made it, this move is really vicious, and it will make our navy’s advantage invisible.” Zhou Yi frowned.

Zhao Xu nodded, this indeed caused some trouble for them to recover Jiangnan.

However, this is also a strategy to injure one thousand and eight hundred enemies.

So many people along the coast have been coerced by force, and there will be a lot of resentment among the people.

Being a family is tantamount to digging out one’s own foundation.

At this time, it is undoubtedly the best time for the Propaganda Department to take some action.

Then, he glanced at Zhou Yi, seeing Zhou Yi’s face full of anger, he couldn’t help but smiled.

He knew what Zhou Yi was thinking, and he was naturally unhappy that the credit for lying beside him was gone.

So he said: “The outer seas don’t need you, but the inner rivers need you. Also, during this period of time, you must keep an eye on the Dasong waters to prevent attacks by the fleets of the Western Turks.”

Zhou Yi nodded when he heard the words. Both are required.

But right now the only way to fight the army is through the inland river.

After talking about this, Zhao Xu gave Zhou Yi an order.

Let him leave six steamships in Yizhou.

The remaining six ships went to Jiujiang to cooperate with Chang Wei to go south.

Jiangnan is there, and the clans can avoid the attack of the navy, but they cannot escape the attack of the army.

His attitude is very firm, and he will not delay the pace of Dasong’s unification because of this little difficulty.

…

at the same time.

Tibet.

Bra City.

Mule Hongzhen, Ashur, Ivan, Tiemuta, and Ulanba are negotiating with the British envoy.

A month ago, a British mission consisting of 200 people traveled from Tianzhu to the city of Bra.

Immediately, the Beidi general guarding the city of Bra sent the news to the Beidi Khan Court.

Koryo was occupied by King Yan, and Dongying was besieged by King Yan at the moment.

This made both Beidi and Ross Guoju worried.

Beidi naturally wants Dasong to be destroyed, while Ross State hopes that the forces of all parties will be balanced in order to benefit from it, and they never want King Yan’s family to become bigger.

Therefore, despite the constant discord with Britain, Ivan decided to come to the city of Bra to discuss how to curb King Yan’s expansion in the east.

His ultimate goal is to force King Yan to spit out Goryeo and Dongying to prevent General Yan from attacking Beidi.

In this way, they can slowly eat up Beidi’s territory, and when Beidi has no use value, they will completely swallow it, and then go south to annex Dasong.

Although they have different ideas, their purpose is the same, that is, they cannot let the King of Yan unify and praise.

They want to take advantage of this opportunity for King Yan to go south, drag King Yan into the quagmire of war, unable to extricate themselves, you weaken King Yan.

“My name is Brooke. I am here this time to represent Governor Bolt. I hope our cooperation will be happy this time,” Brooke said.

Then, he spread a drawing on the table and drew a line at the position of Dasong Jiujiang.

Extend from this line, cross the middle line of the Koryo territory, and reach the northernmost point of Dongying.

Seeing this, Mu Lehong frowned, not knowing what Brook wanted to express.

But Ivan was very clear.

This is not for Mule Hongzhen to see, but for him.

When vying for overseas colonies, Western countries often delineate each other’s spheres of influence.

The line drawn by Brook is the premise of the cooperation between Britain and Ross.

It can also be regarded as a commitment to mutual interests.

If he agrees, this line will be used as the boundary in the future, with the sphere of influence of Britain below and the sphere of influence of Ross State above.

“No.” Ivan shook his head, took out a pen, and marked Brook’s drawing of the middle line of Goryeo with an X.

Then draw downwards, and put the whole Goryeo into the sphere of influence of the country of Ross.

Then a line was drawn in the middle of Dongying, meaning that the northern part of Dongying was also included in the sphere of influence of the country of Ross.

“You are still so greedy. The large snowfields in the north have fallen into your pockets. Are you still not satisfied?” Brooke looked serious.

Ivan did not back down, “Your British appetite is not small. Tianzhu and the island countries in the southern waters have been eaten by you a lot. This line obviously suffers from our Ross country, and the king of Yan is in the north.

” But it was wrong, King Yan is indeed very arrogant now, but as long as we destroy him together, Jiangbei, which King Yan has managed for so long, will be yours, right?” Brooke knocked on the table.

At present, Britain is the most powerful country in the world.

So in every negotiation, the Britons are very strong.

“It’s easy to say, get rid of King Yan, at most you Britain will contribute more at sea, but soldiers from Beidi and Ross will be sacrificed on land.” Ivan retorted.

The steam industry in their country of Ross is behind Britain, but the Ross people have never surrendered to the Britons.

“Didn’t we support the Dasong clan to fight against King Yan on land?” Brooke continued.

Cooperation belongs to cooperation, and they naturally want to strive for the greatest interests after the war.

The two were arguing, and Mule Hongzhen and Ashur couldn’t help but look at each other, feeling a little annoyed in their hearts.

They seem to have completely ignored Beidi.

But they were helpless, King Yan became stronger and stronger.

Without the support of foreign countries, Beidi will lose its vast territory.

Ivan and Brooke argued for a while, and Ivan said angrily: “We each make a concession. Goryeo will give it to me, Dongying will give it to you, but the four small islands hanging in the north of Dongying will also be given to me, otherwise you, Britain, will be on your own.” Go deal with King Yan.”

Brook thought for a while, and finally nodded, this is already the most reasonable division.

It’s just that whether the content of the two people’s talks can be finally reached depends on the decision of the British Parliament and the emperor of Ross.

However, due to the urgency of the matter, they will temporarily reach a cooperation in the Eastern Region.

Whether we can continue to cooperate in an all-round way in the future will have to wait for the decision from the mainland.

After agreeing on this matter, Brook discussed with Ivan and Beidi how to deal with King Yan.

“At the moment, we should resolve the conflicts within the power clan, and bring together Wu, Nanliang and Nanping to cooperate instead of fighting each other,” Brook said.

Nanliang is basically equal to Beidi’s vassal at present.

Wu Guo obeyed their British advice.

Nanping was somewhat influenced by Frank.

The combined forces of the three places can truly gather the forces of the Great Song clan.

With their intervention again, King Yan’s fall will not be far away.

The Battle of Edo was just a minor setback.

This king of Yan wanted to challenge their hegemony in the West, it was wishful thinking.

next day.

They acted according to the plan, and Beidi sent a team to escort the British mission to Yizhou, and from Yizhou to Wu.

Beidi persuaded Nanliang, and they persuaded Wu.

Afterwards, the British mission will go south to Jiaozhi, and let the Franks win over the Nanping Kingdom.

A few days later, they arrived in Yizhou.
