Start Being a Vassal King Today - Chapter 911

[Chapter 911]

“Your Highness once said that they beat theirs and we beat ours. This is true.

” Go with your nose!”

Looking at the chart hanging in the office, Zhou Yi slapped the location of Luzon Island with his palm.

He didn’t believe that the Xitu Fleet would just watch them take down one southern island country after another.

Thinking of this, he ordered to pass his battle plan to Yancheng.

Three days ago, he got the news that the wired telegraph had been laid in Lincheng, and the wired power station had just been established, and it was ready to be used.

It only takes two days to travel from Yizhou to Lincheng by steamship.

This means that in just two days, King Yan can get the situation on the front line of Yizhou, which is not much different from commanding on the battlefield.

At the same time, he plans to put 30 sailing warships and 30 steamships on the Luzon battlefield, as well as 8,000 marine soldiers.

The remaining general naval warships are commanded by Gong Ying and are responsible for guarding the island chain.

Within two days, Zhou Yi’s battle plan was transmitted to the palace via wired telegram.

Zhao Xu was a little emotional when he received Zhou Yi’s battle plan.

He wasn’t surprised by Zhou Yi’s battle plan.

After all, the generals he trained should make this choice at this time.

What excited him was the fact that the cable telegraph was laid to Lincheng.

With the spread of cable telegrams, he can give orders to the generals on the battlefield in Yancheng.

After reading Zhou Yi’s plan, Zhao Xu pondered for a while and agreed to Zhou Yi’s request.

After another two days, Zhao Xu’s order arrived in Yizhou.

“Your Highness agrees, and Gong Ying’s coastal defense from Yizhou to Yanzhou will be handed over to you, Chief Pan, and you will send 8,000 soldiers to follow me south.” Zhou Yi ordered.

After pacifying Dongying, Gong Ying and Pan Chang led the fleet and marines to Yizhou.

The four countries of Japan all have their garrisons, and they surrender and praise at the moment, so there is no need for them to stare at them.

If the natives of the West go to Dongying again, they will only face the artillery fire of the four countries.

“Yes, General.” Gong Ying and Pan Chang responded in unison, with excitement shining in their eyes.

When they were in Japan, they were looking forward to going to war with the Western Turk Fleet.

Now, that day has finally arrived.

They want to let the fleet that invaded the east have a taste of their power.

the next three days.

Wanghaicheng Pier has become very busy.

Since food, grass and ammunition are stored in warehouses at the port.

They had to carry these supplies to the battleship.

Early morning of the fourth day.

Thirty sailing warships were towed by thirty steamships towards the waters of Luzon.

They formed two parallel columns, protecting the twenty troop carriers between them.

This time, they did not carry a supply ship.

Because Yizhou is only more than 700 miles away from the southernmost tip of Luzon.

That’s just a day’s journey.

Even if you arrive at Manila, the capital established by the Frangipani in Luzon, it is only a two-day sea journey.

“General, we found a steamship of the Western Turkmenistan Army obliquely ahead.” The fleet floated on the vast blue ocean for half a day.

Flagship captain Song Xiang reported to Zhou Yi.

Zhou Yi nodded. Song Xiang was the second naval backbone he trained after Gong Ying.

Currently serving as the captain of the navy, the captain of the flagship is only his part-time job.

“Don’t bother with them, just keep going to Bangui,” Zhou Yi said.

A steamer towing a galleon cannot keep up with a lone steamer responsible for scouting.

“Yes, General.” Song Xiang replied.

Zhou Yi nodded and continued to study the map of Luzon.

This map was provided to them by King Yan.

However, when this map was given to them, there was no mark on the city of Luzon.

It was they who sent steamships to conduct personal investigations and summarized the information provided by the Fourth Court before finally determining the location of important cities in Luzon.

Bangui, where they are now going, is at the northernmost tip of Luzon.

According to the information they have, the population of Luzon is around 6 million.

Distributed in 30 large and small cities in Luzon.

Among them, Manila, the most prosperous city, has a population of about 600,000.

But Bangui is just a small northern city with a population of only about 30,000.

The reason why he chose this place was to establish a supply point at the shortest distance from Yizhou.

The second is because Bangui is the closest to Dasong.

For thousands of years, people who went to sea from the Central Plains to make a living were the first to settle here.

Therefore, almost 3,000 of the 30,000 Bangui people belong to the “overseas song people” named by King Yan.

These overseas Song people accumulated a lot of wealth due to hard work before Franz arrived in Luzon.

And because the previous Central Plains dynasty had a great influence in the southern region, they lived well in Luzon.

But in the past hundred years, this situation has ceased to exist.

The Frangji coveted their wealth, not only massacred and plundered the overseas Chinese in Luzon, but also deliberately created conflicts between the overseas Chinese and the Luzon natives.

Use the natives of Luzon to suppress the smart and hardworking overseas Chinese and prevent them from affecting their own rule.

Of course, Luzon’s intelligence is only a microcosm of the Eastern and Southern Regions.

It can be said that the fate of hundreds of thousands of overseas Chinese living in the eastern and southern regions is similar.

Just like they have the same insulting name, “pig”.

This time going south, they not only wanted to drive away the natives, but also to justify their names.

Unlike any dynasty in the past, today’s Dasong has risen under the leadership of King Yan.

From now on, no matter if you are a Song person living in Dasong or a Sungian living overseas, you will be protected by the Dasong army.

Furthermore, there is another very important factor.

They lack understanding of the geography, customs, and human relationships of the southern countries including Luzon.

It is necessary for these overseas Song people to provide guides and other help in order to expel the Western natives more smoothly and restore the ruling order of the southern countries.

In another half day, the fleet entered the waters of Babuyan, Luzon.

There are five large islands in this sea area.

Passing through the Babuyan waters, the fleet appeared at the destination of their trip, Bamboo.

Through the binoculars, Zhou Yi saw 30 merchant ships docked in the port of Bamboo, and there were no warships of Francois.

Bamboo was too small for the Frangbots to be worth deploying warships here.

Such a Bamboo is like an undefended girl to the Dasong Navy.

Putting away the binoculars, Zhou Yi pointed at Bamboo, “Take this place.”

His order was issued, and the fleet headed straight for the port of Bamboo.

Ten small boats were placed on the troop carrier.

Two hundred marines landed in small boats from the east and west sides of the port.

As the fleet and troop carriers drew closer, the view of Bamboo’s harbor became clearer.

Just when the troop transport boat was less than 300 meters away from the port, a rush of bells came from the direction of Bamboo.

Apparently, the Frangji garrison in Bamboo has sounded the alarm.
