Become a feudal king from today

"Who is the person Japan sent this time?"

Deciding to respond to the attack on the merchant ship, Feiwen stood up and walked outside the door, looking at the north gate of Marka City.

"It's our old friend, Nobu Ishida." Steven said, crossing his arms.

"Oh? Let him come to my office. It's time to talk about this issue." Fei Wen pondered for a moment and said.

Steven nodded, turned and walked out.

Not long after, a Japanese man walked in under the guidance of Steven. He was Nobu Ishida, the envoy of the Japanese Foreign Affairs Palace.

When Sato Mahisa conveyed the news to the shogunate that King Yan's firearms were superior to Japan's, General Watanabe convened the shogunate generals and officials to discuss the matter.

In the end, they decided that Japan should prepare for war immediately, recruit more soldiers, and at the same time step up the construction of sailing warships in the inland river.

Moreover, the shogunate also decided to increase the publicity of the threat of King Yan to the Western countries that had colonies in the East, and win them over to build a maritime alliance against King Yan in the waters of the East.

In addition, the Foreign Affairs Office will also send envoys to the Western Continent to seek more advanced technology.

"Governor Fei Wen, long time no see." Coming to the table, Ishida Shin bowed to Fei Wen and bent his body at ninety degrees.

"It has indeed been a long time." Fei Wen nodded and made a gesture of invitation, motioning for Ishida Shin to sit down.

The last time he saw Ishida Shin was two years ago.

Sitting opposite each other, he made a cup of coffee for Nobu Ishida and said slowly: "I express my sympathy to you for the fact that the Japanese merchant ship was also attacked by the black shark pirates."

Nobu Ishida took the ceramic coffee cup with both hands and sighed deliberately: "I am also sad about what happened to the Franchi merchant ship. Just sympathy or sadness cannot change the fact that our trade routes are threatened."

After a pause, he continued: "In order to prevent this kind of thing from happening again, we must unite and eliminate the black shark pirate, the lackey of the Great Song Yan King."

"King Yan?" Fei Wen frowned.

This year, he heard this name more than once.

The name most associated with it is the Black Shark Pirates, a maritime force with sail warships.

At first, he didn't believe the news.

After all, in his opinion, it is impossible for the countries in the East to have the ability to build such large sailing warships.

But after more and more merchant ships witnessed it with his own eyes, he no longer doubted it.

Instead, they actively investigated which European country supported this King of Yan, so that in a short period of time, both the manufacturing techniques of firearms and warships developed by leaps and bounds.

But so far, he has found nothing.

Although he was confused about this, he could only accept that there was an industrial region similar to the Europa countries rising in the Eastern Continent.

And try to avoid conflicts with King Yan who controls this area.

It was just this incident that pushed him to the forefront.

He must show the King of Yan the attitude of the Franji people, and he must also make him pay the price.

Thinking of this, he said: "This is also my idea, but I'm afraid it's not enough to deal with the Black Shark pirates with our own strength. The Sterdam people's merchant ships have also been attacked. It is necessary for them to take action together with us."

Ishida Shin smiled, "What a coincidence, the next place I want to go is Yaga City."

Fei Wen shrugged, "Great, in that case, I'm here waiting for your good news."

Ishida Shin nodded. As long as the Francons agreed, the Sterdamans should have no problem.

After chatting for a while, Fei Wen left Nobu Ishida for lunch.

In the afternoon, Ishida Shin left Malka City.

Steven sent Shi Tianxin to the north gate and waved away the soldiers around him. He said to Shi Tianxin: "Don't forget the promise of you Japanese people."

Ishida Shin raised his head and glanced at Fei Wen's office, the corner of his mouth raised, "General Steven, please don't worry, three thousand taels of gold will be at your residence in three days."

Steven laughed loudly and patted Shi Tianxin on the shoulder, "That's good, I can't wait."

Shinya Ishida laughed.

He knew very well that just based on the dead people on the merchant ship, the Franji and Sterdam people might not believe that it was the Black Shark pirates. After all, there was no proof of death.

Therefore, he bribed Steven, a war madman, and asked him to place his own people on a merchant ship to prove that the attackers were indeed Black Shark pirates.

In this way, with all the personal and material evidence, Governor Feiwen couldn't help but not believe it.

And if the Francois believe it, the Sterdam people will naturally believe it too.

After giving Steven a guarantee, Ishida Shin came to the port on the west side of Malka City.

Six Japanese warships are docked here.

He planned to continue southward on a warship to the city of Jakarta.

"My lord, when you go south, do you want to take the opportunity to attack the merchant ships of the British, Sams and Franks?"

After boarding the warship, a Japanese general said to Nobu Ishida that he was none other than Taro Aangda, the island owner of the Wufeng pirates.

Ishida Shin shook his head: "Everything must be done in moderation. If it is overdone, it will arouse suspicion."

"Among the Western Kingdoms in the Eastern Sea, the Franji and Sterdam people have the largest number of merchant ships going to the Eastern Sea. The Britons and the Sam Kingdom basically only trade with the Liang family, and very few merchant ships go north."

"And the Franks rarely participate in the trade with Dasong. The scope of their activities is only in the Cochin country and its surrounding areas. The most important thing is that they all know that the Black Shark pirates only operate in the north of Dasong."

"They will definitely be suspicious of the sudden appearance of the Black Shark pirates in the south. After all, there are many conflicts between the Liang family and King Yan. It is impossible for the Black Shark pirates' warships to pass through the Yizhou waters."

"Moreover, if the King of Yan can rise in the north, how could he be so stupid as to provoke so many Western countries at the same time? By then, our strategy in Japan will not only fail to succeed, but will be exposed."

Taro Aida nodded.

He was just too eager to eliminate the black shark pirates. After all, there was a threat to him in the vast sea, which was really uncomfortable.

But even so, we still have to continue to promote the threat of King Yan to the British, Sam, and Franks.

They want the Westerners to think that King Yan is the devil in their mouths.

In this way, use them to defeat King Yan. After Japan becomes strong, it will push the Western Kingdoms out of the Eastern Continent.

In this way, Japan can control the entire Eastern Continent.

Taro Aida thought.

And this is the long-term strategy decided at the shogunate meeting.

…

Plain City.

Japan is building an alliance to encircle and suppress the Black Shark pirates.

Zhao Xu is watching a folk drama performed by members of the Propaganda Department.

After a month of selection and rehearsal, the play was finally performed vividly and lifelike.

At this moment, on the high stage, the performer of an old man was being beaten to death by the performer of a wealthy family.

Afterwards, the men led by the wealthy family forcibly took away the old man's daughter.

Thousands of Qi soldiers were sitting on the ground.

He looked towards the stage and was completely immersed in the play.
