Start Being a Vassal King Today - Chapter 888

[Chapter 888]

“Since you are looking for death, this king will give you a ride.” Zhao Xu punched Tianzhu’s position and snorted coldly.

He must face up to the current threat in the West.

Because the current Western countries are at the peak of the steam industry.

According to the normal trajectory of development, they will be able to break through the limitations of steam power and jump into the second electric revolution in as short as ten years or as long as 20 or 30 years.

At that time, the cost of Da Song’s war with the Western Turks will become higher and higher.

The benefits of war will become smaller and smaller, or even negative.

Therefore, when he has an advantage, he will quickly defeat them just like the Western natives deal with the natives.

As he thought about it, he also thought about how to break the hunt on Da Song this time.

Looking around, his eyes finally stayed on the southern region.

Although there is a lot of trouble in the north, the north relies on the passes, and Beidi and Ross Kingdom can’t make any waves.

The south is different, Dasong’s southern border is all colonies of the Western natives.

The Western natives are likely to rely on these colonies to create wars.

At the same time, the South also had a resource he desperately needed—rubber.

Before the thermal power plant generates electricity, he must get the rubber plantation in the southern region.

Otherwise, it would be impossible to produce insulation for electric wires, or wheels for bicycles, or tires for automobiles after the advent of the internal combustion engine.

Therefore, whether it is to keep the enemy out of the country, or to seize the rubber.

Wars in the Eastern and Southern Regions are inevitable.

Of course, this does not mean that the north should be left alone.

He ordered Bing Zhansi to produce cavalry guns to deal with Beidi.

The focus is on the eastern land and the southern region, so as not to delay him from cleaning up Beidi.

Furthermore, he planned to build the Five Armies in order to be able to fight two fronts at the same time.

Now, Yang Feng is already recruiting soldiers, as long as the source of soldiers is in place, after three months of training.

Da Song now has a considerable standing army.

Then, his gaze turned to Dongpu.

Before going south, it is necessary to completely solve Dongpu.

He didn’t want any problems in the east when dealing with the north and south lines.

The most important thing is that if the chaos in Japan is not over for a day, the commodity export market of Japan will be short of half.

For the sake of his Dongtu business circle, he also had to settle the Watanabe case.

What’s more, the army of the northern feudal lord is equipped with front-loading rifles, and the marines are equipped with Qin-style rifles.

This means that the time has come, and Japan can be won at the lowest cost.

…

at the same time.

Edo.

In a country house, Watanabe, who was taking a nap, woke up suddenly.

Wiping the sweat off his forehead, he got up and went outside, exhaling a foul breath.

“The warships from the country of Sam have arrived. They are telling me that Dongpu will be saved soon, and Dongpu will not surrender to Dasong.” Watanabe murmured.

Just now, he had a nightmare.

In the dream, his army was defeated by Da Song’s army, and he died on the battlefield.

He also dreams of a vague image.

This image seems to be King Yan, who beheaded him with the Dongying knife.

“General.”

At this moment, Aso Taro came over, and seeing Watanabe’s pale face, he showed a worried expression.

Since King Yan’s soldiers and horses have blocked Dongying, they have attacked the coast.

They had to abandon the coastal cities and hide in the countryside, even in the valleys.

Fortunately, there are many mountains in Dongying, and there are many fertile fields in the valleys, so they can support until now.

However, the fertile fields in the countryside and valleys are enough to support the army.

But the hard life has aroused the dissatisfaction of many Japanese nobles.

Especially after the four northern vassals surrendered to King Yan, many people had the idea of surrendering to King Yan.

However, intimidated by the authority of the Watanabe case, this idea was only circulated, but no one dared to implement it.

But just when this kind of thinking was growing like weeds day by day, they finally had hope.

The battleship of the country of Sam appeared on the coast of Edo.

The news immediately spread in the south.

Those who questioned the Watanabe case kept their mouths shut.

“How is the army reorganization going?” When Ma Rotaro arrived, Watanabe immediately shook his head, as if he wanted to shake off the memory of the nightmare.

“Back to the general, the 200,000 troops have been reorganized and ready to fight at any time.” Ma Shengtaro lowered his head and said, “At the same time, the feudal lords are also summoning their troops.”

“Well, that’s good.” Watanabe’s eyes narrowed He got up, “I believe that the natives of the West will soon be able to defeat King Yan at sea, but before they defeat King Yan, we must survive.”

Through various sources of information, he learned that the four northern feudal clans had obtained The muskets installed by the Great Praise Army.

It was with this musket that the Great Song army defeated them.

After getting these muskets, the four northern provinces are adapting their soldiers.

At the same time, there was also a news that Hojo Chuankei was uniting with other San Francisco and preparing to go south.

However, due to the fact that the four northern vassals have their own contradictions.

They haven’t reached an agreement yet.

But this is a bad sign after all.

Therefore, in response to possible attacks from the four northern feudal lords, he summoned the army and the southern feudal lords.

Inside, he wants to defeat the four northern vassals, suppress rebellion, and restore authority.

Outside, he wants to prove his abilities to the natives, and he is qualified to be a pawn to contain Da Song.
