Start Being a Vassal King Today - Chapter 819

[Chapter 819 Jiangnan Signal]

“Don’t be tricky, tell me quickly.” Zhao Xu urged.

Laughing twice, Xu Ke said: “During this time, people from our Fourth Academy went deep into the south of the Yangtze River and met many people in the south of the Yangtze River. After being coerced, these people lived a miserable life. It can be said that they lived and slept in the open, without enough to eat.”

“Many people were also forced into corvée, transporting grain and grass for the state of Wu, digging ditches, and working as trackers to pull boats on both sides of the river. During this period, countless people died tragically, and the people’s grievances gradually boiled over. I can only bear it.”

Zhao Xu was not happy when he heard this, but his face was gloomy, “It’s not good news that the people are so miserable, these powerful families really deserve to be hacked to pieces, they treat the people like livestock.”

Xu Ke was stunned . After he paused, he said, “Of course it’s not good news. The good news is that the people in the south of the Yangtze River have now awakened and are determined to turn to the north of the Yangtze River.”

“Oh? Has the propaganda worked?” Zhao Xu became interested.

Xu Ke nodded emphatically, since the powerful clan coerced the people to go to the inland, their Fourth Academy cooperated with the Propaganda Department to infiltrate the people in the south of the Yangtze River and become one with the people in the south of the Yangtze River.

After getting acquainted with them, they publicized Jiangbei’s policies and changes to the people in Jiangnan.

Because the people in the south of the Yangtze River have lived in the land under the jurisdiction of powerful clans for a long time, they didn’t believe it at first, they only thought they were bragging.

But when they were displaced by powerful clansmen and their lives were miserable, many people suddenly stopped doubting it.

Obviously, even if Jiangbei is a dream at this time, they are still yearning for it.

Who doesn’t want to live in peace and security.

And at this time, a large number of powerful soldiers came back.

These soldiers were the soldiers who were captured and released in Jiangbei.

Most importantly, these soldiers brought back the real situation in Jiangbei.

Some soldiers also took the initiative to publicize the matter to the people.

The generals of the power clan sensed something was wrong and punished some soldiers, but they still couldn’t stop the news from spreading.

Since then, the common people have no doubts about their propaganda.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, people from their four courtyards formed a secret association and attracted many poor people.

The number of people participating in secret associations is still increasing.

Just by raising their arms, these common people can rise up under the leadership of the members of the Fourth Academy.

Thinking of this, he told Zhao Xu about the situation in Jiangnan, “This matter can be fermented so quickly, thanks to His Highness’s plan to capture the prisoners.”

“I see.” Zhao Xu smiled.

For this battle of unification, he has never been single-minded in fighting. If he can use ingenuity, he will naturally use ingenuity.

Now, the effect of cleverness came out.

The natives of the West bewitched the state of Wu to fortify the walls and clear the country, and coerced the people to move westward.

Frightened by the authority of the powerful clan, these people followed suit.

But right now, Liang Kai fled to Bacheng.

But this place in Bacheng can’t support many people.

Too many people have gone to Bacheng, which can only be a burden to Wu.

As a result, most of the coerced people could only stay in Jiangzhou and Xiangzhou.

At this time, it would be good if the powerful generals and officials who stayed in Jiangzhou and Xiangzhou didn’t get money from the people, let alone think about what these people will do in the future?

It’s normal to provoke anger and resentment.

Of course, he is not saying that the strategy of strengthening the wall and clearing the wild is wrong.

But obviously, the Western natives overestimated the control of the powerful clans over the common people.

Due to the rise of nationalism, the Western Turkic countries can share the same hatred and sacrifice their own interests in the war, which can indeed achieve the goal of fortifying the wall and clearing the country.

But the people here do not have such a strong identification with the powerful clan.

“Well done, the falling of a snowflake may be the beginning of an avalanche. This king wants you to organize a riot for the people in the south of the Yangtze River as soon as possible.” Zhao Xu said, “Tell them again, and when you return to your hometown, you will destroy the powerful and powerful families.” Give them the land.”

“Yes, Your Highness.” Tsui Hark replied yes.

He was a little nervous. The Four Courts had always been good at spying on intelligence, but they had never done anything to lead the people to rise up.

However, this is indeed a part of their four courtyard training, which is specially used to create chaos within the enemy country.

Back at the Overwatch Council, he immediately sent the order to Jiangnan.

At the same time, get in touch with Chang Wei and cooperate with the royal army to act together.

This time, they want to turn Jiangnan upside down, causing Wu to lose not only the land in Jiangnan, but also the people who were coerced by them.

At that time, as long as the people return, they will be able to take root in Jiangnan.

At the same time, he left, and another person arrived at the palace, but it was Wang Chong.

Just like him, this time he also sent good news to Zhao Xu.

“Your Highness, the triple-expansion steam engine has been successfully developed, and the problem of manufacturing large steamships has been solved.” Wang Chong said loudly before reaching the study of the palace.

At this time, Zhao Xu was facing the map, thinking about the next move after the uprising of the people in the south of the Yangtze River.

Hearing this, he shook his hand holding the teacup and spilled some tea.

“Really?” Zhao Xu was overjoyed, this kind of joy even surpassed the joy brought by the victory in the war.

Due to the limitation of steam engine power, the palace can only build steamships under 30 meters.

However, the successful development of the triple-expansion steam engine solved the power problem of the steam engine, which was of great significance to the construction of the ironclad ship.
