Start Being a Vassal King Today - Chapter 919
[Chapter 919 Wish]
“What a stupid strategy, just give up the treasure land of Australia? But you can’t blame you, you still don’t realize the importance of the continent of Australia.” Zhao Xu’s hand is on the map of Australia The position rubbed a bit.
He smiled slightly, and said again, “Since you have chosen to retreat strategically to the territory east of Malacca, this king will be disrespectful.” After
that, Zhao Xu’s heart was itchy, and he had the desire to go to the eastern land and the southern region. idea.
Because he has a small wish to personally seize Australia under the control of Britain and set foot on Australian land.
He has always believed that in contemporary history, the most regrettable thing about the Central Plains Dynasty is that it has not discovered the Australian continent at its doorstep for thousands of years.
The southernmost footprint only went as far as Indonesia, which is now Jakarta controlled by Sterdam.
Now, since this opportunity is in front of him, he cannot miss it no matter what.
Winning this independent continent that rides on the back of a sheep and sits on a mine is definitely like taking a big tonic for Da Song.
At that time, in addition to the animal husbandry area on the Beidi border, Dasong will have one more animal husbandry area.
So, will Dasong still lack beef and mutton in the future?
In addition, Australia’s high-quality coal and iron ore are world-renowned.
Like the coal in Jinju that floats on the surface, the iron ore in Australia also floats on the surface and is very easy to mine.
This is of great significance to the eulogy of low-quality iron ore.
All of the above made Zhao Xu’s heart flutter.
However, although the Western Turkmenistan Allied Forces may withdraw to Malacca.
But he believes that even if they don’t pay much attention to the continent of Australia, they will still struggle.
After all, there are currently half a million British prisoners and their descendants living in Australia.
As long as it is mobilized, this is no small force.
“Feng’er, prepare some luggage for this king. This king is going to Yizhou.” After pondering for a while, Zhao Xu still decided to go.
Originally, he wanted to conquer Tianzhu himself when he attacked Tianzhu. During this time, he would supervise the industrial development.
But today, the Bingzhan Division was powered on, and the remodeled workshop was put into use normally.
As for other projects, it seems that he can’t play a big role here.
Because it is like planting in spring and harvesting in autumn.
After he established a perfect system, the system will work normally, and he doesn’t need to worry about everything.
He only needs to be a driver with peace of mind, and occasionally adjust the direction to prevent the train moving forward from detours.
“Didn’t Your Highness say that you won’t go to war?” Before Feng’er could speak, Yang Susu’s voice rang out.
Then, her figure appeared at the door.
Luan’er followed behind him, this girl was holding a plate with a bowl of porridge on it.
Since he came back from Yizhou last time, Yang Susu saw that he had lost weight, so she thought of ways to cook soup for him every day.
These days, not only did he regain his weight, but he also gained a few kilograms.
Zhao Xu showed an apologetic expression, “It was originally like this, but the war in the Southern Region went a bit wrong, and this king has a wish to go here.”
He gestured to Australia.
Yang Susu never asks about state affairs, this is the self-consciousness of being a princess.
Therefore, she didn’t ask if there was anything worth visiting in a place so far away.
But Zhao Xu said it was his wish, so she stopped persuading him.
“Your Highness must pay attention to your body.” Yang Susu held Zhao Xu’s hand and said softly.
Zhao Xu nodded and gave Yang Susu a reassuring look.
the next day.
Under the escort of Xu Lie, Zhao Xu boarded the steamboat at Yancheng Wharf.
Not long ago, the canal from Fan Yang to Yancheng was officially dug and put into use.
From here, steamships can go straight east, enter the canal, and then go south along the canal to Jinling.
After three days of sailing, the steamer entered Jiujiang, and then sailed southward for three days to Yizhou.
Previously, Gong Ying had already learned about Zhao Xu’s coming to Yizhou through a telegram from Lincheng.
So it’s a daily eye-catcher.
As soon as Zhao Xu arrived, he ordered the generals to greet him at the port.
“Your Highness.” Zhao Xu got off the steamboat and just landed on his feet.
Gong Ying and other admirals gave him a military salute.
Zhao Xu returned a military salute with a smile on his face, “Everyone has worked hard. In this naval battle, you all fought one against ten and forced the Western Land Allied Fleet to retreat. You have shown the majesty of my navy.”
Being praised by the King of Yan, the generals flocked smile.
Gong Ying said in a loud voice, “It is our duty to protect His Highness and expand the territory.”
Zhao Xu nodded with satisfaction, “However, we can’t just turn our tails up. Despise the enemy strategically, and attach importance to the enemy tactically. Never forget.”
“Yes, Your Highness.” Everyone shouted.
They chatted with the generals at the pier for a while about the process of the naval battle, and everyone surrounded Zhao Xu and went to Wanghai City.
On the way, Gong Ying told Zhao Xu what the navy was doing now.
“After General Zhou learned that the West Turk Navy was retreating, he ordered his warships to search in the waters between Morrow, Australia, Luzon, and Jakarta. One of the warships found the West Turk Navy that was retreating to Malacca,” Gong Ying said.
“This king really guessed right.” Zhao Xu shook his head with a smile.
“Not surprisingly, they have basically given up on the waters to the east of Malacca and concentrated the fleet in the Strait of Malacca to prevent us from entering the waters of Tianzhu.” Gong Ying said, “This Tianzhu is really the treasure of Britain.”
“A huge market with a population similar to that of Da Song, of course it’s a treasure.” Zhao Xu raised his eyebrows.
In this era, Australia was little more than a penal colony to Britain.
Tianzhu is the jewel in the queen’s crown.
It is also for this reason that the West Turk Navy easily gave up on the east of Malacca.
But it was exactly what he wanted.
Thinking of this, he asked, “What is Zhou Yi doing now?”
“General Zhou is preparing to attack Manila. He has been transporting the marines to Bambu, Luzon for the past few days, gathering 30,000 people, and launching the attack.” Gong Ying said. .
Zhao Xu nodded.
Zhou Yi’s original plan was to besiege Manila and lead the Western Turks to a decisive battle.
But this plan has gone wrong, so the next step is to implement the normal southward plan to take Luzon and Jaga.
Of course, there is Australia and the Solomon Islands near Australia and the New Zealand Islands to the east of Australia.
“My king wants to see the customs of Luzon and the people from overseas. Tomorrow, you will escort me to the south.” Zhao Xu said after pondering for a moment.
“Yes, Your Highness.” Gong Ying replied yes.
After defeating the West Earth Navy, he was rather bored.
I also want to go out for a walk.
But with Zhou Yi’s order, he can only stay in Yizhou honestly.
Now with King Yan’s order, he was naturally excited.
Although his task was only to escort, and he had to return when he got to Bamboo, it was enough for him to relieve his boredom.
