Start Being a Vassal King Today - Chapter 833

[Chapter 833 Is Imminent]

“Meat, egg and milk?”

Zhong Li suddenly reined in the reins, looked at Zhao Xu in front of him, and fell into deep thought.

Everything that King Yan said belonged to the rich and powerful families in the past.

It is rare for the common people to wear sackcloth and eat wheat rice.

For him, it is unimaginable for the entire Dasong people to live like a wealthy family.

But like everyone else, he believed in King Yan.

Because what the King of Yan promised them is being fulfilled one by one.

Thinking of this, he galloped his horse after him and arrived at Honghua Village in the south of Jinling City with King Yan.

After a large number of people returned to their hometowns, he ordered the documents in the army to go to the countryside to organize government offices and militias.

At this time, Honghua Village already had Li Zheng and Bao Chang.

“Kill! Kill! Kill!”

Arriving at Honghua Village, Zhao Xu and Zhongli heard the shouts of the militiamen.

It turned out that on the threshing ground, the militiamen were training bayonet skills with flintlock guns.

These flintlock guns were captured during the Battle of Jinling.

The two looked at it for a while, then called Li Zheng again, and asked about the preparations for Xia Harvest.

Then continue to other villages.

After inspecting the vicinity of Jinling, Zhao Xu and Zhongli traveled south along the coast on a steamboat, and inspected the three southeastern states within a month.

During this period, the soldiers of the Third Army returned one after another, bringing back varying amounts of spoils.

The people who followed them also returned to their hometowns to participate in the busy summer harvest.

Seeing that the order in the three southeastern states was on the right track, Zhao Xu returned to Jinling.

But Zhongli stayed in Jinzhou, which is also the contemporary Guangzhou, and participated in the organization of the militia and the government in the southernmost state of the three southeastern states.

“Your Highness, after you left, the Four Courts sent information that Beidi and Shizu received a batch of muskets from Britain. They seemed to have imitated our muskets, because the information showed that this musket was very similar to our front-loading rifles. Poor.” As soon as Zhao Xu arrived in Jinling, Chang Wei came to greet him and reported back to Zhao Xu.

“How many are there?” Zhao Xu asked.

Regarding this matter, he was not as nervous as Chang Wei.

Because he knew it was bound to happen.

At present, Jiangbei and Xitu are both at the peak of the steam industry.

The guns and artillery that Jiangbei can make can also be made by the other party, and it is not difficult to imitate them.

The only advantage is that he is decades ahead of the opponent in converter steelmaking.

Therefore, even if the other party imitated it, the quality of the guns and artillery would definitely not be as good as Jiangbei’s.

However, due to the duel of soldiers in wars often occurs within 200 meters.

The replacement of the opponent’s guns and artillery can still cause them more trouble.

For example, the front-loading rifles provided by Britain to the powerful people this time must be more threatening than the old-fashioned flintlock guns.

This is why he deployed the development and production of Qin-style rifles ahead of schedule.

It is to maintain the generation gap in firearms.

Even if the opponent gets a front-loading rifle and faces a more flexible rear-loading gun on the battlefield, it cannot change the situation of being pressed and beaten.

“There are 8,000 muskets from the power clan, and 3,000 muskets from Beidi. Among the muskets supplied to the power clan, 5,000 were given to the mercenaries in the West.” When Chang Wei said these data, he suddenly felt that the Siyuan was really serious. very scary.

The powerful city of Bacheng was as transparent as before them.

“Hmph, it seems that Britain’s firearms workshop in Tianzhu has limited output.” Zhao Xu sneered, “However, we can’t give them another chance to install front-loading rifles steadily.”

Looking in the direction of Bazhou, he said: “This time when the king went south, the government offices and militias in the three southeastern states were basically completed. The most important thing is that the summer harvest went smoothly, the problem of food and grass was solved, and it’s time to fight the powerful clans .”

Chang Wei nodded, their pace of war was delayed by this summer harvest.

The soldiers of the royal family’s army have all changed from soldiers to farmers during this period.

But their harvest is also huge. The huge amount of fertile land left by the powerful and powerful clans, with the cooperation of them and the people from Jiangbei, the harvested rice fills the granaries of Jinling, Sioux City, Songcheng and other cities.

These food and grass not only met the needs of the prince’s family, but also had a lot of surplus.

“Hey, the general can’t wait for the end. The people in the four courtyards also said that the Shizu has increased taxes on Jiangzhou, Yuezhou, Xiangzhou, and Guizhou. Just as His Highness expected, the people around here probably hate the Shizu. Gritting your teeth, attacking at this time, the right time, place and people are all in place.” Chang Wei laughed.

Zhao Xu nodded.

He came back in time this time.

At this point the busy season is basically over.

Furthermore, he didn’t want to drag on the war in the south of the Yangtze River.

It only takes four months for a steam ship to travel from Tianzhu to the British mainland.

If the natives of the West decide to intervene more deeply in the civil strife in Dasong.

This war is even more troublesome.

Even if he wins at that time, Da Song will basically be defeated.

In the contemporary World War I and World War II, the countries where the wars broke out were all impoverished. Only the United States, which sat on the mountain and watched the tigers fight, made a fortune selling goods to both sides.

Both industrial and economic aggregates rank first in the world.

Therefore, he absolutely does not allow a small world war to break out in the land of Da Song.

The war must end as soon as possible!

Afterwards, he wanted to keep the war out of Dasong, drive the Westerners away from the East, and initially bring the East into Dasong’s sphere of influence.

In this way, relying on the eastern land market, exporting commodities, and establishing an eastern land economic system with Yuan as the common currency.

Dasong was able to recover from the trauma of this civil strife and gradually restore prosperity.

“In that case, you should communicate with Ma Han and attack from both fronts at the same time,” Zhao Xu said.

During this period of time, the Qin army did not attack Jiameng Pass.

Because although Zhongling Pass was captured, the grain and grass were burned.

Liu Fu could only raise food and grass and transport it to Zhongling Pass.

After all, when a large army is fighting, it will be difficult to move without food and grass.

“Yes, Your Highness.” Chang Wei was excited for a while.

…

at the same time.

longton.

A steamship docked at Longton Harbour.

The steamship carried either the monarch or the prime minister of the Western countries.

Although there are only a few countries in the West that have mastered the construction technology of steamships.

However, after the fashionable business of steamships appeared, various countries bought them from Britain and other countries one after another, and kept them as a tool for the monarchs and prime ministers to travel.

Today is officially the day when Britain convenes the Western Turk Conference.

During this period of time, the British Foreign Minister almost traveled all over the Western Turks for today.

“Emperor Nicholas of the country of Ross arrived in person, the country of Sam sent Secretary of State Millais, Prime Minister Theodore of Frank also arrived, and King Herman of Franz, Prime Minister of Sterdam Van Jersey…” Wattham

Palace, Prime Minister William introduced to Queen Ashley one by one the people who arrived in Longton and participated in the West Earth Conference.

Ashley nodded frequently, smiling.

In the West, there is also Britain that can have such an appeal, allowing the monarchs and prime ministers of many countries to visit in person.
