[Chapter 902 Suzerain]

blue sky.

After three days of preparation, Zhao Xu and Yang He took the steam locomotive to Jinghai.

Depart from Jinghai again, take a steamboat to Dongying Edo.

According to his instructions, Yang He brought more than a hundred officials and businessmen with him.

Most of these officials and merchants were merchants from the former Black Shark Firm.

Given their loyalty, they also chose to support him in the worst times.

Therefore, he reciprocated the favor and incorporated them all, making them officially become Dasong’s national business force.

After three days of boring sailing, on the fourth day, Zhao Xu and his party arrived in Edo.

Get informed ahead of time.

On this day, Gong Ying, Pan Chang, and the lords of the four northern domains all arrived to meet him at the port.

“See Your Highness.” Zhao Xu got off the steamer, and Gong Ying and Pan Chang immediately gave a military salute.

Hojo Kawakei, Ono Town, Oda Yamazawa and Mori Yukatsu bowed ninety degrees.

Zhao Xu nodded, and returned a military salute to Gong Ying and Pan Chang, “Thank you for your hard work, and I will credit you in the credit book.”

“Thank you, Your Highness.” Gong Ying and Pan Chang smiled.

Then, the two said in unison, “The last general is only willing to go forward for His Highness and destroy the invading Western natives.”

After Dongying was pacified, they really didn’t want to stay in Wufeng Island any longer, it was too boring.

“Hahaha…don’t worry, this battle was fought by you.” Zhao Xu patted the two of them on the shoulder.

The two looked at each other with smiles on their faces.

Zhao Xu then said a few more words to Dong An, and finally turned to the lords of the four northern domains, “You don’t need to continue bowing, is the south completely controlled?” The

translator immediately translated Zhao Xu’s words to the four.

“Back to His Royal Highness, after the news of Watanabe’s capture came out, the morale of the southern feudal clans completely collapsed, leaving only a few remnants and defeated generals, who hid in the deep mountains and old forests to become bandits. The person said step by step.

“In the past few days, we have successfully seized all the territory of the southern feudal clans and controlled Dongying.” Onozhen, not to be outdone, introduced the situation of the battle to Zhao Xu after Hojo Chuanqing.

Next, Oda Yamazawa and Mori Yukatsu interrupted from time to time, fearing that they would be left out.

Dong An, Gong Ying, and Pan Chang couldn’t help shaking their heads when they saw each other.

They really admire King Yan.

If only one person is supported, I am afraid that this person will easily become the next Watanabe case.

And after supporting four people, they will continue to curry favor with King Yan.

After talking on the pier for a while, the group went to the government office where the Watanabe case used to be, the General’s Mansion.

The most important purpose of his coming to Dongying this time is to divide the territory of the four countries, officially split Dongying into four countries, and sign a formal contract with the four countries at the same time.

Incorporate Dongying into the Dongtu business circle.

When he arrived at the General’s Mansion, Zhao Xu took a map from Xu Lie and spread it out on the table.

This is a map of Japan, which is divided into four parts by red lines.

When he came, he had thought it over.

He needs the four feudal clans to maintain a balanced posture, so the territory divided for the four feudal clans will keep the strength of the four feudal clans at the same level.

In this way, even if there is a fight, the weaker side will not be annexed immediately, leaving enough time for Da Song to intervene.

“Your Highness is wise.” Hojo Chuankei and the others fixed their eyes on the map the moment the whole map was revealed.

They all heaved a sigh of relief when they saw the area that King Yan had divided for them.

On the map, their northern domain has not changed, and King Yan just cut the southern domain into four pieces.

Unlike the entire continent in the north of Dongying, the land in the south of Dongying consists of four connected island-type continents.

The four islands are being divided into one for each family.

Those allocated to small islands will cut off a piece of large islands to make up for it.

Obviously, King Yan did not favor anyone and treated them equally.

The last thing they want is to see themselves weakened, or the other party stronger than before.

No one can deal with anyone, this kind of situation is the best.

“Edo is conveniently reserved as a trading port between Dasong and Dongying. No one will give it to Dasong.” Zhao Xu nodded, pointing to the location of Edo and said.

Unlike Goryeo, he naturally has to keep a close eye on Japan to prevent its resurgence.

Therefore, holding Edo in your hands is tantamount to dividing Dongying into four countries, and placing another ballast stone.

At the same time, Edo will also become the foothold for Dasong merchants to go to Dongying in the future, so as to facilitate their business activities in Dongying.

There is no meaning to the divided territory, Zhao Xu motioned to Yang He.

Yang He put the four contracts on the table.

“In the past, the scope of the contract was only in your northern domain. Now, you need to sign it again.” Zhao Xu said bluntly, he didn’t need to hide it.

The current Japan is nothing more than his taboo.

Hojo Chuankei looked at the contract and found that it was similar to the previous contract, so he signed four more contracts without hesitation.

Furthermore, they can not not sign.

King Yan could clearly occupy the southern domain, or even the entire Dongying, but now he distributes the land to them.

With these vassals alone, it is worth signing these contracts.

What’s more, from the bottom of their hearts, they have already recognized King Yan as their suzerain.

King Yan’s orders, they will carry out unconditionally.
