Start Being a Vassal King Today - Chapter 887
[Chapter 887 Hunter?]
“Your Highness, what do you mean that besides the country of Sam, the fleets of other western countries will also arrive soon?” Zhou Yi narrowed his eyes slightly.
Not only did he not have a trace of fear, but a killing intent rose in his heart.
King Yan’s requirements for their navy and marine corps have always been to be able to fight well, and to have some gangster spirit.
He also trained his soldiers in this way.
Therefore, their navy is also bloodthirsty under the brave character.
The coming crisis at sea is just the time for them to kill the Quartet.
“Yes, according to the information disclosed by the Ross people, his actions are coordinated. Because of the distance, Sam’s country may arrive earlier, but the big action will definitely be carried out after the arrival of other Western countries.”
“Now They are approaching Dongying and Yizhou, I guess, one is to embolden the Watanabe case, and the other is to investigate.” Zhao Xu said.
Zhou Yi pondered for a while, and said, “Your Highness said so, it seems to be so. The warship of the Kingdom of Sam that fought with us arrived in Edo, almost sailing along the shore, and even hoisted a big flag. It’s just to convey the news of their arrival to the Watanabe case.”
Then he sighed, “It’s a pity that the ocean is too big, our fleet can’t guard against death, there will always be loopholes for them to take advantage of.”
Zhao Xu deeply agreed.
Even in modern times, when there are satellites in the sky, sometimes it is impossible to detect the position of every warship of the enemy country.
What’s more, now I can only rely on two eyes to find.
Because of this, the Age of Great Discovery was an era where pirates were extremely rampant.
On the vast sea, it is difficult for the navy to deal with pirates and privateers privately allowed by various countries.
Right now, he is not afraid that the Xitu Fleet will confront him head-on.
I am afraid that they will engage in sparrow tactics, disperse the warships, attack his merchant ships everywhere, and even raid the coast.
However, in the face of this situation, he is not helpless.
Just like a sparrow always rests on a branch when it flies.
The battleships of Xitu always need to stop at a place to get supplies.
Francois, Stedam, Frank and British warships can rely on the colonies of the East.
And the country of Sam can only rely on the important islands in the Pacific Ocean.
Just find out which islands they occupy and take control.
It will be able to cut off their routes and prevent Sam’s navy from entering the East Sea.
Furthermore, from Dongying to Ryukyu, and then to Yizhou and Luzon, this is an island chain.
Controlling the island chain can also prevent the warships of the Western Turks from entering the Dasong waters.
However, defense is always passive.
In order to completely solve this problem, the colonies and strongholds of the Western Turks in the East must be cleaned up.
Therefore, while defending, the most important thing is to attack.
“It’s time for the ship’s steamship and sailing warship to be launched.” Zhao Xu asked suddenly.
In the current maritime situation, they need to defend on the one hand to ensure that the warships of Xitu will not enter the island chain for sneak attacks.
It also requires a certain number of warships to take the initiative to attack and destroy the fleet of the Western Turks.
This is not enough with the current twenty-four steamships.
Only when the warship of the Ship Division is launched, can we have spare power.
“It’s almost there. The military steamship will be launched in six days. At that time, the fleet will have 60 steamships and 60 sailing warships, but the remaining 30 sailing warships will not be launched until December.” Seeing this, Zhou Yi was excited for a while.
“Sixty steam ships and sixty sailing warships are enough,” Zhao Xu said.
When he went to Jinghai by steam locomotive at the beginning of the year, Chen Shou promised that he would launch a batch of steamboats in August.
He did as expected.
The only pity is that the enemy did not give him time to wait for the remaining 30 sailing warships to be launched.
Otherwise, his naval strength is more adequate.
Thinking of this, he told Zhou Yi his island chain defense strategy.
Zhou Yi nodded slowly when he heard the words, “Your Highness is wise, if this is the case, the general will form a team of three warships and form eight teams of warships to patrol the waters between the island chains. The remaining warships can attack as much as they can.” “Yes.” Zhao Xu came to the world map in this study, “After the steamship is in line, you and the Marine Corps will
launch an attack on Luzon.”
The first step for soil to be included in Dasong’s sphere of influence.
“Yes, Your Highness.” Zhou Yi replied.
He also reported some naval affairs to Zhao Xu, and Zhou Yi was going back to Jinghai, waiting to receive the steamship.
As soon as he arrived at the door, he seemed to think of something, he turned back and said sternly, “Your Highness, the appearance of the warships of the Kingdom of Sam may affect the current situation in Dongpu.”
“I understand what you mean.” Zhao Xu looked at Dongpu on the map .
What Zhou Yi was worried about was that the comeback of the Sam Kingdom would give hope to the Watanabe case and the southern feudal lords, and strengthen their determination to resist Da Song.
“This king will immediately give an order to the four northern vassals to send their troops to the south. When the time comes, you can ask Gong Ying to cooperate, and the chaos in Dongpu should be over.” Zhao Xu continued.
At present, the Marine Corps has also completed the installation of Qin-style rifles.
The northern four feudal states have installed the muzzle-loading rifles he sold.
One inside and one outside, under the joint strangulation, the Watanabe case and the southern feudal lord who was loyal to him had only one way to die.
Sam’s dream of regaining control of Japan is doomed to fail.
Zhou Yi smiled evilly when he heard the words, “I will return to Jinghai in the end, so I will give Gong Ying orders.” After
saying that, Zhou Yi said goodbye and left.
After Zhou Yi’s figure disappeared, Zhao Xu called Dong An.
He ordered him to send a diplomat to carry his order to the four feudal clans in the north of Dongying, and unite the four feudal clans to go south.
During this period of time, they should also adapt to the front-loading rifles, and it is time to take action.
Dong An took the order and returned, and Zhao Xu began to think about the world map.
The fleet of the Kingdom of Sam has arrived, and the combined fleet and armies of Britain and other Western countries may also arrive.
At the same time, according to the information provided by the Fourth Court, Mu Lehongzhen fell into madness due to the destruction of the Iron Wood Tower and the three king’s tents.
After taking an oath in front of the altar, they mobilized their horses and soldiers, and even summoned men from Beidi aged 12 to 14 to replenish their troops.
In the past, Beidi stipulated that he could join the army at the age of fifteen, which shows his hysteria.
But this also confirmed Beidi’s weakness.
Just like Japan during the contemporary World War II, there was a shortage of troops at the end of the period, and it could only send 13 or 14-year-old child soldiers as cannon fodder.
In addition, 30,000 soldiers from Ross State have arrived at the front line of the Black Dragon River and are building bastions and other facilities.
In this way, this means that the layout of Xitu around Dasong is roughly in place.
A hunt for Da Song is about to kick off.
However, if Da Song was still in the period of Zhao Heng’s rule when the powerful clan was rampant, the siege would naturally be fatal.
But now Dae-song’s enemies face him.
Who is the hunter?
Who is the prey?
Not sure yet.
