Become a feudal king from today

Yizhou. read

Antler City.

Zhao Xu waited for two days, and a French warship came from the south.

The warship anchored in the port, and Fei Wen got off the warship.

Looking at the Yanzhou Steamship that was also docked at the dock, he looked solemn.

At present, in the West, only the four countries of Britain, Frank, Germany, Russia, and the country of Sam separated by the ocean can build steam ships.

What he didn't expect was that a country capable of manufacturing steamships would appear in the East, which was really shocking.

Originally, he had some doubts about the news of the Japanese naval battle at Edo.

Now that he had seen these steamships with his own eyes, he finally believed it.

"Governor Fei Wen, His Highness is waiting for you in Antler City." Pan Chang said.

Navy steamships have been patrolling nearby. As soon as Fo Langji's warship appeared, the news was sent to Antler City.

He was ordered to come to receive him.

"Please." Fei Wen stretched out his hand and motioned to Pan Chang to lead the way.

At the same time, my heart couldn't help but tighten.

King Yan asked him to come, but he didn't dare not come.

The Battle of Goryeo proved the strength of King Yan's army, and the Battle of Edo proved the strength of King Yan's navy.

How could he offend a vassal king who was in charge of such a powerful army?

Furthermore, King Yan has occupied the north of Yizhou, will he launch an attack on Marka City next?

At this point, he also wanted to explore King Yan's tone.

If King Yan insists on expelling them, they will have no choice but to withdraw from Yizhou.

He knew very well that with the strength of Fo Langji in Marka City, there was no way he could resist King Yan's army.

Following Pan Chang all the way, Fei Wen arrived at Lujiao City and met a young man in the main hall of the government office, it was Zhao Xu.

"Dear His Royal Highness King Yan, I have heard of your reputation for a long time, and it is a great honor to meet you." Fei Wen looked at Zhao Xu and bent down to salute.

"No courtesy." Zhao Xu looked at Fei Wen for a few times and looked calm.

Although Fei Wen provided him with a lot of information about Xi Tu, this does not mean that Zhao Xu will have a good impression of him.

Because this is what Pan Chang got in exchange for saving him.

Moreover, he did not think that Fei Wen was a peacemaker.

Anyone who can be sent as far away as Dongtu by Fo Langji must be ruthless.

Otherwise, it would be impossible to deter the garrison in Marka City.

Furthermore, as far as he knew, Fo Langji had been bullying Dasong merchants on the sea for a long time.

Just because these merchants all belong to the Liang family, they are not well known.

Although he is currently hostile to the Liang family, he will not be happy because the Liang family merchants were bullied by Fo Langji.

Internal contradictions are internal contradictions after all, and they are both great people after all.

Therefore, when he saw Fei Wen, he was just normal.

"Your Highness asked me to come here. I wonder why? Your Highness, please explain." Seeing Zhao Xu's indifferent expression, Fei Wen became more and more nervous and asked cautiously.

Zhao Xu said: "I am not a person who likes to be crooked. I made it clear today in front of Governor Fei Wen."

After pondering for a while, he said: "This Yizhou is my Dasong territory. It was first invaded by the Sterdam people, and then fell into the hands of your Flemish people. Thirty years ago, it was equally divided with the Japanese. Today we have it. Half of it was taken back by me and brought into the Dasong court, and I will eventually take back the remaining half. "

After hearing this, Fei Wen's face turned pale, thinking that this day has finally come.

A few days ago, the British Governor Bolt met with the Governor of Sterling. Governor Frank and him, plus the Kingdom of Sam, a total of five countries have interests in the Eastern Territory.

When Bolt invited him to join the Eastern Tu Alliance, he made it clear that King Yan would take over Yizhou, and now he was really right.

"Your Highness, are you ready to attack Marka City?" Fei Wen said sternly, "Although Marka City only has 8,000 soldiers, we must fight against King Yan to safeguard the glory of Folangji."

"Hahaha..." After Fei Wen finished speaking, Pan Chang, Zhou Yi and others gave mocking smiles, and Zhao Xu also raised the corners of his mouth.

They were not angry, only amused.

It's like a praying mantis lying under the wheel, clamoring to block the wheel's progress.

"Why are you laughing?" Fei Wen felt ashamed and angry, and he felt the disdain of King Yan and the others.

Zhou Yi and Pan Chang laughed for a while, then stopped. Zhao Xu said lightly: "If Governor Fei Wen wants me to take this road, I don't mind. In just one day, Marka City will be in ruins." ”

Fei Wen just spoke harshly, but in his heart, what he feared most was that King Yan would attack Marka City.

Because of this, he was so obedient and came to Antler City.

Seeing that King Yan seemed to be hesitating, he calmed down and said, "Your Highness, do you mean there are other ways for Fo Langji?"

Zhao Xu nodded, he had no illusions about Xi Tu.

But at the same time, he also hopes to create rifts within the Western Territory, so that at least other Western Territory countries will not follow Britain to deal with him.

Even if they don’t work hard, it’s okay.

In this way, he can concentrate his efforts on his main enemy.

That's why he took this move and gave it a try.

So he said: "I can allow you to conduct normal trade in the Eastern Territory, but the premise is that you must give up your colonies in the Eastern Territories and withdraw your troops from the colonies."

"What?" Fei Wen was stunned for a while, then suddenly shook his head, "Your Highness, this is simply impossible. No Western country will give up its colonies, and Fo Langji will never agree."

Zhao Xu shook his head. His attempt this time was probably a failure.

Fei Wen's attitude was firm and there was no room for discussion.

In fact, this is indeed the case.

In the contemporary nineteenth century, the only way for emerging powers to seize colonies from conservative powers was war.

The Spanish-American War in 1898 was triggered by the United States' desire to seize Spanish colonies.

At the beginning, the United States used various means to exert pressure, trying to get Spain to voluntarily abandon the Philippines.

But even Spain, which was extremely weak at the time, did not agree.

In the end, the United States decided to launch a war and attacked the Spanish defenders, forcing the Spanish defenders to surrender.

The following year, the two sides formally signed the Treaty of Paris in Paris and ceded the Philippines.

Just imagine, Western countries are killing each other for colonies.

As an Eastern country, it is impossible to seize colonies from Western countries without going through a bloody war.

This is an era of the weak and the strong, and the Western Turks especially believe in this rule.

The strong enslave the weak, which is the truth for them.

"Unfortunately, in this case, I can only capture Malka City by force." Zhao Xu stood up, his eyes like lightning.

The territory obtained during this period may be the fixed territory of Dasong in the future.

In contemporary times, Western countries were originally confined to the European continent.

Three hundred years of colonization allowed the Angsa people to occupy North America, Australia and many islands in the ocean.

Although France declined, it still controlled many African countries.

Therefore, how could he give up the dividends of this era?

At this moment, if he hesitates and hesitates, people in the Song Dynasty a hundred years from now will definitely accuse him of being incompetent.
