Become a feudal king from today

Ryukyu waters.

While Zhao Xu was planning Japan, a conspiracy against Yanzhou was also unfolding at the same time.

At this time, on the vast sea, a merchant ship flying the Stedam flag was sandwiched between two warships of the Five Peaks pirates, and screams were emitted from the ship from time to time.

Not long after, hundreds of Wufeng pirates returned from the merchant ship to their respective warships.

The sails were raised and the two warships disappeared over the sea.

The merchant ship was silent, with corpses of Sterdam people everywhere, and blood flowing on the deck.

A flag of the Black Shark Pirates was laid out next to a Stedan man, and a long knife was nailed to the deck.

At the same time, hundreds of miles away in the Yizhou Sea.

A Frankian merchant ship was also attacked.

Like the Sterdam merchant ships, when the Wufeng pirates left, they also left a Black Shark pirate flag on the ship.

Over the next month, merchant ships from the two countries were constantly attacked, people on board were killed, and goods were robbed.

These merchant ships were soon discovered by other Sterdam and Franz merchant ships.

The news first arrived in Marka City, controlled by the Fo Langji people in Yizhou.

"In one month, twelve merchant ships were attacked by the Black Shark pirates. Governor Feiwen, the Black Shark pirates are declaring war on our Franji."

In the top floor room of the central three-story building in Marka City, a general in blue military uniform put his hands on the table and shouted at the blond man in front of him.

The blond man was the Governor Feiwen mentioned by the general.

Frowning tightly, Fei Wen put down the quill in his hand and said, "Lieutenant Steven, you need to calm down now. Are you sure this was done by the Black Shark pirates?

"Mr. Governor, do you still need to question this? The flag of the Black Shark pirates has been found on every merchant ship. Who else could it be if it wasn't them?" Steven said.

Fei Wen shook his head, "In this era of rampant privateers, we are not the only ones who can do this."

"Then do you mean to praise the Liang family or the Japanese?" Steven narrowed his eyes, "Governor Fei Wen, you are thinking too much. This matter must have been done by the Black Shark pirates. There is no need to question it. ”

"During this period, we and the Japanese were trading with the newly established Qi State. Our warships have been followed by the warships of the Black Sand pirates more than once. They don't like us."

After a pause, he continued: "Besides this time, in addition to physical evidence, we also have human witnesses. On a merchant ship, we found the surviving crew members. They said that it was indeed the Black Shark pirates who attacked them. "

Fei Wen's frown deepened.

The purpose of his being sent to Dongtu was to maintain the trade between the Folangji Kingdom and the Liang family and Japan, and to open up more trade routes.

Therefore, Japan was very happy to invite Franji to trade with the Han family who established Qi.

After all, this counts as his achievement here.

However, he didn't want to get involved in the conflict with Song because of this matter.

This is not because he loves peace and is friendly to Dasong.

Instead, he was worried about the twelve warships from King Yan in the north.

Once upon a time, their country, Franji, was the number one naval power in Europe.

But like the Sterdams, their navy declined after the rise of Britain.

As their navy declined, so did their national power.

Nowadays, their colony can only be scraped by.

Among these colonies, France and Sterdam put more manpower and material resources into the colonies in the New World.

Only a small number of warships can be sent to the east.

If there is a conflict with King Yan in the north, they are afraid that their only four warships will be destroyed.

At that time, they will not be able to maintain the trade of Eastern Territory.

However, if it was as Steven said, he would have to take action.

After all, this is equivalent to the Black Sand pirates declaring war on the Franco Kingdom.

If he chooses to remain silent and the news spreads back to Franji, he, the governor, will be transferred back and spend his next life in prison.

"Relying on our own strength, we are afraid that we will not be able to fight against the Black Shark pirates. We must unite the Sterdam people, so that the number of our warships can reach ten. Moreover, the Japanese also hate the Black Shark pirates. Maybe we can try to let them go They join us in taking action.”

Steven licked his lips. In France, he was called a war madman.

He was sent here because he was too unstable.

Now he smelled the smell of war and immediately became excited.

Laughing loudly, he said: "Yes, we don't need to find the Japanese. The Japanese have already come to us. The Japanese envoy is outside the city now."

"The Japanese people seem to be very anxious about this matter." Fei Wen narrowed his eyes slightly when he heard this.

"Of course, the Japanese said that their merchant ships were also attacked. The black shark pirates have now become a hidden danger in the Eastern Sea. If they are not eliminated, the following trade will no longer be able to continue."

Fei Wen's newly raised suspicion immediately dissipated.

He was also full of distrust towards the Japanese. After all, the Japanese captured half of Yizhou from them.

At that time, they had just taken over Yizhou from the Stedam people.

But after that, Japanese people became much more honest.

Now they are extending olive branches to him frequently.

Since their merchant ship had also been attacked by the Black Shark pirates, it was only natural that they came to seek cooperation.
