Become a feudal king from today

"Your Highness, this is Lu Zheng, the owner of Wufeng Island."

In the front yard of the palace, Lu Zheng was pinned to the ground by two soldiers.

Returning to Laoting Pier, Zhou Yi personally took Lu Zheng into custody and took him to Yancheng.

In this naval battle, they smashed the conspiracy between Goryeo, the powerful clan and Wufeng Island.

Among the three, Wufeng Island is the real threat to them.

Now, the fleet of Wufeng Island was defeated by them, and the island owner Lu Zheng was also arrested.

He was naturally excited and wanted to be praised in front of him.

"Lu Zheng?" Zhao Xu was slightly surprised. He was confident that Zhou Yi could handle this crisis.

But he didn't expect that he would even catch Lu Zheng. He nodded slightly and said, "Zhou Yi, you did a good job. I was not wrong about you."

When Zhou Yi heard this, he was so happy that he couldn't even see his eyes.

What he hopes most is the approval of King Yan.

After all, he and Liu Fu entered the palace at the same time.

Now that Liu Fu was the prince's master, he didn't want to be left too far behind.

Otherwise, it would be too shameless in front of Liu Fu.

"The warships built by His Highness are still powerful. Whether they are the warships of Goryeo or the warships of Wufeng Island, they are just chickens and dogs in front of us..." Zhou Yi was still in the excitement of victory, spitting.

"Hmph, the black shark pirate is indeed your King Yan's eagle dog!"

Zhou Yi was still talking to himself when Lu Zheng suddenly looked at Zhao Xu and snorted angrily with a fierce look on his face.

Zhao Xu and Zhou Yi's attention returned to Lu Zheng again.

Looking Lu Zheng up and down, Zhao Xu said: "So what if the black shark pirates are my king's hawks and dogs? They are just fighting for the interests of Dasong people, and you are just a man who kills his comrades, forgets his ancestors, and is willing to give up to Japan." Just a scumbag!"

"you……"

King Yan's words were like needles, and Lu Zheng suddenly became angry with shame, but he couldn't say a word to refute.

Because everything King Yan said was true.

"What are you, what am I saying? You are not forced to do anything, and you are not persecuted by others. You just want the glory and wealth that Japan gives you. To put it bluntly, you just want to eat the dog food that Japan gives you!" Zhao Xu scolded loudly.

"I kill you!"

After all, Lu Zheng was a pirate and a desperado.

In anger, he immediately wanted to break away from the soldiers like a mad dog and attack Zhao Xu.

Seeing this, Xu Lie roared angrily and kicked Lu Zheng in the stomach.

Lu Zheng suddenly curled up like a shrimp, sweating in pain.

Zhou Yi looked at Xu Lie and felt frightened.

This close bodyguard of His Highness King Yan is indeed very skilled.

"Take him down for interrogation and get out all the information you can." Zhao Xu shouted.

"You can't get a word out of my mouth." Lu Zheng still refused to give in and said through gritted teeth.

"The last person who spoke harshly to you now even told me what he did when he was three years old." Zhao Xu smiled coldly.

Zhuoge, the deputy commander of the Black Iron Guard, was indeed very harsh at first.

Various punishments were imposed, but nothing was said.

Later, he decided to try a punishment that seemed mild but was actually very cruel.

He was asked to have the jailer watch him day and night in turns, neither beating nor scolding him, but just not letting him sleep.

After staying up for five days and five nights, this "tough guy" almost went crazy and finally poured out everything he knew.

It also verified the fact that the Yuan family did collude with Beidi.

It's just like he said, in Dasong's current situation, the facts are not important, who has the final say is the most important.

Therefore, he did not waste time and continued to make a fuss.

"Really? Let me see what you, Prince Yan, are capable of!" Lu Zheng let out evil smiles.

Zhao Xu was too lazy to pay attention to him anymore. He just waved his hand and asked the soldiers to take Lu Zheng away.

"Your Highness, on the way back, the general also destroyed the Han family's warship at Laijun dock." Zhou Yi said after hearing the news about Lu Zheng's figure.

Zhao Xu nodded, "Very good, it's time to give these powerful people a bit of a show. Don't think that they can rest easy if you offend me."

Then, he said: "But recently, the range of activities of your Black Shark pirates is limited to the west of Treasure Island. Don't continue to Japan and focus your main energy on Korea."

"Your Highness is worried about Japan?" Zhou Yi was puzzled.

In fact, he understood it when he saw the Black Shark pirate's warship.

The Wufeng pirates, like the Black Shark pirates, are secret forces supported by each.

They belong to the King of Yan, while the Wufeng pirates belong to Japan.

This time the Wufeng pirates were defeated, which meant that they had lost an arm of Japan.

Zhao Xu rolled his eyes when he heard this, "Who have I been afraid of? But you have to eat in one mouthful, and if you take too big a step, you can easily pull off the eggs."

After a pause, he continued: "My original intention of packing up Goryeo was not just to teach Goryeo a lesson. The main purpose was to import Yanzhou's goods and obtain needed resources from Goryeo. It was not just to fight for the sake of fighting."

This is a matter of strategic direction. The current focus is still on Beidi and Goryeo, as well as Dasong domestic.

There is no need to spread the flames of war further.

Zhou Yi was stunned.

He almost forgot that he belonged to Black Shark Trading Company.

The threat from Beidi has not yet been lifted, and the situation in Dasong has become grim again.

Once the powerful families break up, cut off domestic trade and restrict resources, Yanzhou will be in trouble.

Therefore, their most important task is to find alternative markets and resource supply places for Yanzhou.

If you just fight and kill, a lot of resources will be consumed without any benefit.

The fleet will only become a heavy burden for King Yan.

This is why King Yan decided not to waste resources on Japan.

"Yes, Your Highness, I understand." Zhou Yi said.

"Let the navy officers rest for a few days, and then we will collect the debts that Goryeo has owed over the years." Zhao Xu said with a smile.

Zhou Yi heyed twice, looking forward to it.

After Zhou Yi left, Zhao Xu looked towards Japan.

He doesn't know much about Japan in this world.

But judging from the little information obtained, Japan in this world has not followed the Great Song Forbidden Sea, and there are still many exchanges with the West.

This makes Japan's technical level higher than that of Dasong.

Wufeng Island has warships equipped with artillery as proof.

But the colonists were never good.

He believed Japan would not get any important technology.

This is why Wufeng Island still uses dilapidated flat boats.

Therefore, defeating Wufeng Island this time will give Japan enough shock.

You shouldn't act rashly until you find out his details.

Of course, this victory will also bring corresponding negative effects.

The name of Black Shark Pirates will definitely spread further.

More people will see it as a threat.

But there is no way around it. In the era of maritime navigation, the most cruel thing is the struggle for maritime hegemony.

This is the price he must pay for going to the ocean and developing maritime trade.

He was thinking about it when Feng'er informed Xu Hark that he was here.

Taking back his reverie, he let Tsui Hark in.

Not long after, Tsui Hark walked quickly in front of him.

He looked gloomy, as if he had bad news.
