Become a feudal king from today

"Pooh!"

Chang Wei spat. read

At this time, after struggling on the ground twice, the Japanese general did not get up and could only lie on the ground, panting violently.

"Bah bang bang..." Zhao Xu clapped his hands.

Then he looked at the Japanese general: "Should you tell everything you know, or let me take action."

"Wada Xinuo, Ke Qinuo, Yida Yike..." The Japanese general refused to admit defeat and shouted to Zhao Xu.

Without waiting for the pirate to translate, Zhao Xu waved his hand and said, "Give him to Xu Hark."

The Japanese general said that he would not tell even if he died.

Then we can only let him see the methods of the Fourth Academy.

After receiving the order, two palace guards came forward and dragged the Japanese general out of the meeting hall.

"Your Highness, if you call the last general back this time, are you going to attack Qi?"

Zhao Xu nodded. From the arrogant look of this Japanese general, you can see Japan's current attitude towards Da Song.

Since they dare to set foot in Dasong's territory.

He wanted to make Japan understand that if he wanted to bite someone, he had to have a good set of teeth, otherwise he would just be beaten with teeth all over the place.

Of course, there is also Qi State.

As a citizen of Dasong, he actually got together with the Japanese and allowed the Japanese soldiers to massacre the people of Dasong.

He believed that if his army did not arrive in time this time, the people of Dachang Village would definitely suffer.

Just for this, he wanted to make the Han family understand that those who lured the wolf into the house would not die well.

"Hehe..." Chang Wei clenched his fist until it made a crisp sound.

King Yan admitted it.

Next, Yanzhou will send troops to Qi State.

Before Chang Wei arrived, Zhao Xu had prepared a map of Da Song.

At this time, he slowly spread the map on a table.

Pointing to the three cities north of the Jin River, he said: "I want you to capture the three cities of Leling, Pingyuan, and Yangping."

The dividing line between Yanzhou and Qizhou is not the Jinhe River.

Rather, it is the three cities north of the Jin River and their city control areas.

Throughout the ages, if you want to capture Qizhou, you must capture these three cities before crossing the Jin River and heading south.

Similarly, if Qizhou forces want to capture Yanzhou, these three cities are also very important.

Occupying this place, they can advance to attack and retreat to defend, relying on these three cities to continuously harass Yanzhou.

However, Yanzhou can only defend passively. Qi's probing attack on Yanzhou is the epitome of this advantage.

Although it is a county town, the city walls of the three cities are not inferior to those of the county town.

In order to prevent the northern forces from moving south, the forces entrenched in them often hoard heavy troops in these three cities.

Chang Wei nodded, and King Yan thought of going together with him.

He had long been unhappy with these three cities.

This is like the neighbor across the river building an arrow tower in front of his house.

He can shoot arrows at your home through the arrow tower at any time, but if you want to break into their house, you have to pull out the arrow tower, which is very passive.

But as long as these three cities are captured, the Jin River will no longer be an inland river of Qi State.

They would be able to pass through Pingcheng's canal to reach Fanyang, and from Fanyang to Jinhe.

In this way, in addition to the Haihe River estuary, Yanzhou will have another Jinhe River estuary.

"These three cities will soon become His Highness's territory." Chang Wei's eyes lit up.

Zhao Xu’s eyes showed expectation, Jin River was the Yellow River.

Although Haihe River is also good, it is not as spacious as Jinhe River.

Extending the territory to the Jin River would provide an additional transportation line for merchant ships going out to sea.

This can promote the development of commerce in Yanzhou.

Although merchants could use the Jinhe River in the past.

But if you pass here, you will be taxed heavily by the Han family.

In this regard, Yanzhou merchants have long been dissatisfied.

In addition, with the strength of Yanzhou Navy, he will be able to firmly control the river from Jinzhou to Qizhou.

Sizhou, Jinzhou, and Yanzhou will be connected through the Jin River. In the future, coal will be able to reach Yanzhou more conveniently, which is of great strategic significance.

Of course, there is another point that is equally important. With these three cities, Jinhe River will become the natural moat of Yanzhou, protecting Yanzhou like Yanguan.

"Although the firearms of the royal soldiers are better than those of Qi, you still have to be more careful in this battle."

"We can't attack recklessly just to seize time, causing unnecessary casualties to soldiers. After all, there are a lot of artillery placed on these three cities, and we are the attacking party and are at a disadvantage." Zhao Xu said.

After a pause, he added: "And from this Qi army, it can be judged that the Japanese are obviously training Qi soldiers. It is unknown whether they have brought some different tactics from Japan."

"Yes, Your Highness, I understand." Chang Wei said.

What King Yan meant was to give him sufficient time to attack the city, without limiting when he could take these three cities, so as to avoid unnecessary losses caused by the generals of the royal family's army who were eager for quick success.

Discuss the matter.

Chang Wei returned to Fan Yang.

What a coincidence is that among the three southern counties of Yanzhou, Fanyang County faces Leling, Guangning County faces Pingyuan, and Dai County faces Yangping.

Among them, Leling Heping is located in Qizhou, while Yangping is located in Yuzhou.

…

at the same time.

The three soldiers who fled from Yanzhou had crossed the Jin River and were heading towards Lucheng.

In another two days, the three of them arrived in Lucheng.

"What? The flintlock rifles of King Yan's soldiers can kill people one hundred and fifty meters away!" Sato Masaku looked shocked.

"It's absolutely true." said the only Japanese soldier who escaped.

Two Qi soldiers were describing the entire war process to Han Zheng.

Then, the two were silent for a long time.

Han Zheng sighed quietly: "No wonder King Yan was able to win the Battle of Ningjin and annihilate so many soldiers and horses in Beidi. It turned out that they had replaced their flintlock guns with new ones."

Looking at Sato Zhenjiu, he gave a thumbs up, "Sir Sato is really thoughtful. If we rashly start a war with King Yan without this test, we will definitely suffer heavy losses."

Sato Masaku smiled bitterly. Although he found out the details of King Yan, he couldn't laugh at all.

The latest Japanese flintlock gun has a range of only 130 meters.

This proved to him that King Yan's firearms were more advanced than those of Japan.

But the more this happened, the more it aroused his murderous intentions.

This made him realize that he must eliminate King Yan while Da Song fell into division, otherwise, they would never have any chance in the future.

More importantly, this is about the national destiny of Japan.

Defeat Dasong, and they, Japan, will become the overlords of the Eastern Territory.

Instead, he will always live in the shadow of Da Song.

And this is something that neither he nor the entire shogunate can accept.

They have seen the glory of the Western Kingdoms over the world, and this is what they want in Japan.

Let them live in the mud and they would rather die.

Thinking of this, he immediately wrote a letter in person and sent it to the Japanese merchant house. He asked them to print it into several copies and hand them to different merchant ships to be sent to the Japanese shogunate.

Their general, Watanabe, needs to know all this.
