Become a feudal king from today

Chapter 625 Honglu Temple

"kill him!"

A Qi soldier roared, and then the roar was like a roaring mountain and a tsunami. ReadМ

Their eyes seemed to be able to spit out anger, and each of them clenched their fists tightly, wanting to rush forward and beat the actor of the wealthy family to death on the spot.

If it weren't for the royal soldiers stopping them, they would have really charged forward.

Zhao Xu stood on one side, and Chang Wei stood next to him with his arms akimbo, smiling like a bear who had just stolen honey.

"Your Highness, this trick is really effective. In the past two days, more than 6,000 Qi soldiers have been begging to stay." Chang Wei said.

He had been worried about the prisoners.

He felt bad for letting so many prisoners go back, but he couldn't force them to stay.

Now, there is no need for him to stay, these Qi soldiers are crying and shouting to stay.

Waiting for the day to join the royal soldiers to establish a dynasty without wealthy and powerful families.

Zhao Xu smiled proudly.

Since Qi had too many soldiers, only 3,000 people could be arranged at a time.

This scene had been played out several times before he came.

In addition to folk dramas, he also asked Mi Wen to invite Qi soldiers to the stage to complain.

What suffering did you suffer? Naturally, he suffered under the bullying of the wealthy family.

The family's fertile land was occupied by a wealthy family, and they borrowed usury from the wealthy family to buy food. When they couldn't afford the repayment, their children were sold.

With the real case in front, the soldiers of Qi will naturally be more moved, and the effect will naturally be better.

"Remember, from now on this will be a set of propaganda methods to the prisoners, and we will continue to introduce new ones. In this way, in future wars, our soldiers will fight more and more, while the soldiers of the wealthy families will fight less and less."

After a pause, he continued: "Also, you must cooperate with the Propaganda Department to use hot-air balloon soldiers to scatter leaflets across the Jin River to shake the hearts of the people."

"Yes, Your Highness." Chang Wei was shocked.

Zhao Xu nodded, turned his head and continued watching the show.

At this moment, a cavalryman came in a hurry and handed him a document.

This document was sent by Zhou Yi. After flipping through the document, Zhao Xu's face darkened.

Chang Wei saw this and asked: "Your Highness, what's wrong?"

Zhao Xu said: "This month, Zhou Yi found intermittently that all the merchants on several merchant ships were dead, but the merchant ships were covered with the flag of the Black Shark pirates."

"Your Highness, someone is trying to frame the Black Sand pirates." Chang Wei reacted immediately.

"You are right. These merchant ships are either from the Franji people or from the Sterdam people. Obviously, someone wants to create more enemies for us." Zhao Xu's eyes narrowed.

"Hmph, this was either done by the Japanese or the Qi people. They just suffered a big defeat and they must be unwilling to give in and want to cause trouble for us." Chang Wei snorted.

Zhao Xu closed the document and took a few steps back and forth. "No matter who it is, they must not let their conspiracy succeed, otherwise we will always bear the blame."

Now, his first goal is to resolve the civil strife in Dasong, rather than investing his energy in fighting more extraterritorial forces.

Although, in the future he will definitely have a war with the Western countries due to colonial issues.

However, due to strategic considerations, he currently needs to flexibly handle relations with the Western countries.

As far as he knew, Japan had been spreading his threat everywhere in the eastern sea area some time ago.

He can no longer let Japan continue to stir up trouble.

Furthermore, after the twenty-four warships are launched, he is also preparing to expand Yanzhou's trade partners.

With this scapegoat, business will be impossible.

Thinking of this, he said to Chang Wei: "I'll leave the affairs here to you. I need to go back to Yancheng."

King Yan looked serious, and Chang Wei knew that this was no small matter, so he said, "Just leave this to the general."

After leaving Pingyuan City, Zhao Xu went straight back to Yancheng.

After arriving at the palace, he immediately called the envoy from Honglu Temple over.

Not long after, Dong An appeared in the study.

After returning from Jinling, Zhao Xu originally wanted Dong An and Yang He to run Yanjun Trading Company together.

When they are not together, the two are very close.

But together, they often quarrel with each other because of different opinions.

In desperation, he decided to transfer Dong An directly to Honglu Temple as the envoy of Honglu Temple.

After all, Dong An is good at negotiating with businessmen, and sometimes there is not much difference between diplomacy and business negotiations.

Dong An can negotiate business well, and there shouldn't be many problems with diplomacy.

"Last time, you Honglu Temple did a good job in blackmailing powerful people. This time, we have another important thing to entrust to you." Zhao Xu said to Dong An.

Since Yanzhou has few contacts with other forces, Honglu Temple has very few affairs.

In addition to attending government affairs schools every day, officials also drank tea and chatted in government offices.

Dong An had been idle for a long time and felt uncomfortable all over. Hearing this, he immediately became excited and asked, "What matters is your Highness going to hand over to me?"

Zhao Xu said: "I want you to take some officials out to sea to Marka City in Yizhou to explain the attack on the merchant ship. After that, you will contact the Sam people, the British people, and the Franks to find out their details."

After that, he told the story about someone framing the Black Shark pirates.

Dong An nodded, "This is really a difficult task, but I will do my best to give His Highness a satisfactory result."

He is a restless person and doesn't like a dull life. Not only did this task not scare him, it actually suited his taste.

Zhao Xu patted him on the shoulder, with a solemn look on his face, "This task is not only arduous but also life-threatening. You have to think clearly. It's not too late to regret now."

"Your Highness thinks too much of me. Instead of staying in the long grass in Honglu Temple, I would rather go to the top of the waves to catch the tide. Going to the sea has always been Xiaguan's wish." Dong An touched his belly, "I also want to go out. See the world.”

Zhao Xu showed a satisfied look and said: "I will ask Zhou Yi to dispatch two warships to escort you all the way. Your mission is very important. It is basically Yanzhou's first official diplomacy."

"The king needs you to resolve this frame-up and at the same time stabilize the Western Territory countries to prevent them from overly intervening in Dasong affairs."

"When negotiating with them, you must carefully judge their attitude towards Da Song and record it, so that I can judge who can win over and who will be our mortal enemy."

Dong An heard this, silently noted it in his mind, and said yes.

Then he handed over some bottom lines of Yanzhou to Dong An.

Let him be able to measure when negotiating, and secondly, let him act softly and hard without being humble.

After all, he was unwilling to start a war, but that didn't mean he was afraid of the Western Kingdoms.

The thirty-six warships of the Yanzhou Navy were his confidence.

If they insist on making enemies of themselves, then there will be no choice but to fight.

After all, these colonists did not come to the East for charity.

Doesn’t the contemporary Qing Dynasty want to make good friends with many countries? But in fact no one wants to.

The great powers only want to draw blood and eat meat, and sometimes only by beating them painfully will they be willing to come to the negotiation table.
