Start Being a Vassal King Today - Chapter 905
[Chapter 905]
“Your Highness, you are finally back. This is the information sent back from Tianzhu.”
Wangfu study.
Zhao Xu stayed in Korea for a day, then returned to Yancheng.
As soon as he arrived at the palace, Tsui Hark arrived on his back.
“Tianzhu?” Zhao Xu’s eyes flickered.
Greatly praising the unification of the country, he pacified Dongpu again, and was preparing to deal with the Western and Western Allied Forces who invaded the Eastern Territory with peace of mind.
Tsui Hark’s intelligence from Tianzhu is not untimely.
“Yes, because the Liang family had frequent trade contacts with Tianzhu before, there were some merchants in Tianzhu who were attached to the Liang family. I bought three of them, and then sent team members to sneak into Tianzhu, ordering them to work lowly among these merchants and cover their identities.” Tsui Hark said.
After a pause, he continued, “During their stay in Tianzhu, they adopted some beggars from Tianzhu and trained them to become eyeliners.”
Zhao Xu nodded, spying on information is very dangerous.
It is already very good that the Fourth Academy can extend its intelligence tentacles to Tianzhu.
“Also, Your Highness previously asked me to send an eyeliner to infiltrate the Western Lands, and now I have some clues. Just like what Your Highness said, Australia has exiled many British prisoners. With the cooperation of the Navy, I have collected some and are training them. I hope they will come in handy in the future. .” Tsui Hark added.
“That’s great, you are more and more qualified as an intelligence leader.” Zhao Xu laughed.
Then, he opened the information sent by Tsui Hark, looking for the information he wanted.
After a long time, he closed the document and turned to look at the location of Tianzhu on the map.
The intelligence information is very detailed.
This time, as many as 100,000 coalition troops arrived in Tianzhu, all of which were stationed in Tianzhu.
Because only Tianzhu can support the 100,000 troops.
In addition, it is about the number of support ships.
This has greatly enhanced the naval power of the West in the East, and even stabilized the Dasong Navy in terms of the number of warships.
“These information was sent in the past five days. This is the intelligence within five days after the coalition arrived in Tianzhu. The information on the last day showed that the governor of Tianzhu, Bolt, summoned the king of the Tianzhu state, and combined them with the Tianzhu workshop. They bought sixty-four steam engines, and it is possible that they are training the Tubang army and assisting them in combat.” Tsui Hark analyzed it.
“Very likely.” Combining the contemporary history, Zhao Xu came to the same judgment as Xu Hark.
In the two contemporary Opium Wars, there were Indian Maharaja troops.
There are Indians in the surviving picture of the Eight-Power Allied Forces.
At that time, they participated in the war as a joint army of the United Kingdom.
Because of this, contemporary Indians claim to have defeated the Qing Dynasty and are proud of it.
During the first Opium War, there were actually two battlefields.
One is on the coast of Guangdong, and the other is in Tibet.
At that time, the Indian kings once invaded Tibet from three routes.
They are so active, one is to win the support of the British to rule the country.
Secondly, it was these native states that planted opium poppies, manufactured opium, and banned smoking in the Qing Dynasty, which harmed their interests.
The third is that they rely on the support of the Western countries, and their mentality is inflated, thinking that they are also a member of the great powers.
Because of this case, Zhao Xu naturally believed that the Tianzhu people here would also be confused about themselves and dare to pluck the tiger.
“Britain is like this, so Frank, Sterdan and Frangji must have followed suit.” Zhao Xu put his hand on the entire eastern and southern regions.
These places are all under the control of the natives.
Moreover, the relationship between Jiaozhi and Pyuman and Dasong has always been extremely bad, and they are full of ambitions for Dasong’s land.
At this time, if the natives of the West provide them with guns and artillery, I am afraid that they will immediately become the vanguard against Da Song.
Contemporary history has amply demonstrated this.
No matter how the times change, Cochin and Pyuman only have two states.
Otherwise, he would be beaten by the Central Plains Dynasty and cry for his father and mother, claiming to be a minister and paying tribute.
Or it is to frequently launch wars and invade the Dasong border.
“It must be so. When they are ready, Jiaozhou and Yunzhou may not be peaceful.” Xu Ke frowned.
Hearing this, Zhao Xu suddenly smiled, and patted Xu Hark on the shoulder, “It’s not us, but them
who will be uneasy at that time.”
For countries like Cochin and Pyuman, if they don’t beat them up, they won’t be honest.
Therefore, he just drove away the Western Turks on their land, but failed to achieve the purpose of subduing them.
Just beat them up yourself.
Previously, because of his vigilance, he had asked the troops of Jiaozhou and Yunzhou to cooperate with the Fourth Academy to find out the terrain and road conditions.
Even if they don’t cause trouble, he will go south.
He would never allow any unrest at the door of his house.
This time, it means that the natives of the West created an opportunity for him.
“Your Highness is absolutely right.” Xu Hark thought about it for a while, and then he felt relieved.
It seems that his worries are a little unnecessary.
Even the muskets and artillery of the Western Turks are a whole generation behind them.
Now they seem to be in a defensive posture, but they are actually an offensive posture with ease.
The two are talking.
Suddenly Feng’er walked in and handed a note to Zhao Xu.
This is the information transcribed from the cable telegram, from Tranquility.
The current cable telegraph has long been extended here.
The telegram said that the navy was escorting a British steamer to Yancheng.
On this ship were envoys sent by the British.
