Become a feudal king from today

"This is troublesome. Reading М" Sato Zhenjiu sighed.

When fighting, the most feared thing is that the army will be infected with the plague, which will cause the army to collapse without a fight.

If King Yan really used smallpox as a weapon, it would be very bad news for them.

"What exactly does King Yan want to do?" Sato Zhenjiu asked.

If King Yan was really prepared to use smallpox as a weapon, he would not have sent officials to Lucheng.

Now that he has sent officials from Yanzhou to mention this matter, he must have his own purpose.

"The King of Yan said that as long as we do not prevent merchants from Qi from going to Yanzhou for trade, he will swear never to use smallpox in war, and he will have a fair and just duel with us like swordsmen." Han Zheng smiled bitterly.

Sato Shinjiu frowned, "The enemy's promise is just a piece of waste paper. If he loses in the end and still uses smallpox as a weapon, wouldn't he have taken advantage of it in vain?"

Han Zheng also thought so. He said, "What other solution is there at the moment?"

Sato Masaku also fell silent. He really didn't expect that the King of Hell would make such a damaging move.

This King Yan is really unusually difficult to deal with.

Their general's eyes were indeed ruthless, and he judged at a glance that King Yan would become a threat to Beidi.

After thinking about it, he said: "If this is the case, I can only agree to him temporarily, but I believe that since King Yan has mastered this method, there must be such methods in other places. I will report this problem to the general and ask him to send People are looking for this method.”

He is not only for Qi, but also for Japan. He believes that Japan and King Yan will have a battle sooner or later.

Han Zheng sighed. The current situation is that he either agrees to King Yan, or he has to endure the raging of smallpox in Qi, losing nearly half of the population and soldiers.

Compared with this, the losses caused by trade are smaller.

"I hope Lord Sato can bring good news as soon as possible." Han Zheng was full of expectations.

Since seeing Japan's flintlock guns, he is now very superstitious about Japan, and even believes that Japan is several times stronger than Beidi.

With the support of the Japanese people, Qi will be invincible.

Of course, it would be even better if the threat of smallpox could be solved.

Reluctantly agreeing to the matter, he sent the eunuch out to bring the news to the officials coming from Yancheng, and told him to go back to Yancheng.

He didn't want to meet Yanzhou officials.

After the eunuch disappeared, he rolled his eyes and said to Sato Mahisa: "Sir Sato, you have seen and heard with your own eyes and ears. You should be able to understand how despicable this King Yan is, right?"

"He is not only a threat to our Qi country, but will also be a threat to your Japanese country in the future. After all, our Qi country does not have warships roaming the sea, but the King of Yan does."

Sato Zhenjiu was silent for a while and said, "I will send people back to see the general and ask him to send another batch of flintlock guns."

Now he is stationed in Qi State, and he only communicates with the shogunate through the Japanese people in the Qingcheng Japanese Merchant Store to reduce his own danger.

Han Zheng was overjoyed. Ten thousand flintlock guns were far from satisfying his ambition. He wanted more.

He said this just to make the Japanese people feel the danger of King Yan, so that the Japanese people would provide him with more support.

So he said: "In this case, I would like to thank Mr. Sato."

In front of Sato Mahisa, he never calls me, this is to win Sato Mahisa's favor.

Sato Mahihisa nodded, "But King Yan said he would fight Qi State fairly like a swordsman, so we can test whether he keeps his promise."

And they originally had a plan, which was to send a team of thousands of people into Yanzhou to test the true strength of Yanzhou soldiers.

This is also a task assigned to him by the shogunate.

Facing other powerful clans in Dasong, they naturally do not need to worry, but when facing King Yan directly, it is always better to be careful.

If they find that something is wrong, they will adjust their tactics to deal with King Yan.

In short, their Japanese strategy is simple.

If the King of Yan can be eliminated, the Han family can take over Yanzhou in one go.

Without the great song of King Yan, to Japan, it is just meat on the chopping board, and they can cut it how they want.

If the attack is frustrated, they will provide continuous support to the Han family, allowing Qi to stalemate with King Yan, consuming King Yan's strength, and buying them time to build sail warships in Japan.

After all, through the propaganda during this period, the Western countries basically believed that King Yan in the north of Dasong would pose a threat to their colonial Dasong.

In order to let Japan act as a pawn, it is natural to help Japan build sail warships to fight against King Yan.

Mentioning this matter, Han Zheng's eyes narrowed.

He knew very well that if he did this, it would be a provocation to King Yan, and they might face King Yan's revenge later.

But he also knew very well that Qi State and King Yan would have a battle sooner or later, so when Sato Zhenjiu proposed this plan, he did not object.

This trial will consist of 900 Qi soldiers and 100 Japanese soldiers.

Thinking of this, he said to Sato Majiu: "Everything should be done as Master Zuo Teng said."

at the same time.

The officials who set out from Yanzhou continued to travel south. Seven days later, an official arrived at Jinling and also announced King Yan's advice to the Xie family.

"Hahaha, when did King Yan become so stupid? There is Qi State between Yanzhou and Ningcheng. They were the ones who were unlucky first. Now it is too early for King Yan to blackmail us."

In the Jinling Palace, the eldest prince said to the Yanzhou officials below him.

There is a chair beside him, and Xie Duan is sitting on it.

Since the eldest prince ascended the throne, Xie Duan has sat with the eldest prince to discuss politics.

As the eldest prince said these words, a burst of laughter broke out in the Jinluan Palace.

There is no doubt that this is the officials of the Xie family who are mocking.

With a strange smile on his face, Xie Duan said to the Yanzhou officials: "Compared with the plague, I would rather chop off your head and send it back to King Yan. This traitor dares to threaten the real Da Song." emperor."

The Yanzhou official looked calm, and he just said lightly: "Have you forgotten that Ningzhou is close to the sea?"

Xie Duan thought about this sentence for a while, and suddenly his expression changed drastically.

Yes, Yanzhou and Ningzhou are indeed separated by Qi State, but King Yan has an invincible fleet on the sea.

They could have spread smallpox to Ningzhou by sea.

Thinking of this, he was so depressed that he almost spit out a mouthful of blood.

Xie Duan stood up from the chair and clenched his fists tightly.

His eyes rolled, and finally he slowly let go of his hand, with a smile on his face, "We have always had close contacts with His Highness King Yan in the past, so we wouldn't have been so unhappy. Isn't it just business? In the future, we will not prevent merchants from going there From Yanzhou.”

The Yanzhou official showed a proud smile, turned around and left.

The entire hall was left filled with astonished Xie family officials, as well as the depressed eldest prince and Xie Duan.
