Become a feudal king from today

"Please rest assured, Your Highness, the Ryukyu Kingdom will be your loyal minister from now on, and your orders will be above all else." Shang Bin looked firm and spoke decisively.

Zhao Xu nodded and asked Shang Bin to go back and wait patiently.

When the fleet sets off, Zhou Yi will take him there with him.

After Shang Bin left, Zhao Xu turned to Zhou Yi and asked how many Japanese soldiers were currently stationed in the Ryukyu Kingdom.

Seizing Ryukyu and Yizhou was originally part of his plan.

Therefore, Zhou Yi has been conducting reconnaissance on the Yizhou area occupied by Ryukyu and Japan during this period.

However, because he intercepted information about the Eastern-Turk Alliance, he decided to take action in advance.

"Back to Your Highness, there are about 20,000 people. We can just rely on our Marine Corps. There is no need for the Royal Jin Army to take action." Zhou Yi was very confident. The Folangji people were not their opponents, so what about the Japanese soldiers? Down.

Zhao Xu laughed softly. He had no doubt about the combat effectiveness of the Marine Corps.

But the 8,000 Marines are really small.

After all, the Marine Corps will face more and more Eastern China combat missions in the future and become more and more cruel.

So he said: "Expand the Marine Corps to 30,000 Marines."

In the past, due to population limitations, it was impossible for him to engage in military force and allow soldiers to account for a large proportion of the population. This would affect the development of agriculture and industry.

However, he has already captured eight counties in Qizhou, and Chang Wei and Ma Han will soon sweep across Jiangbei.

By then the population problem will be greatly alleviated.

Furthermore, in the war with Qi, they captured a large number of surrendered soldiers.

Some of these surrendered soldiers dismounted and returned to their hometowns to work in the fields.

Some wanted to join his army.

These soldiers can be added to the Marine Corps.

"Hey, thank you, Your Highness." Zhou Yi grinned.

As the top general of the navy, he naturally hopes to have more and more soldiers under his command.

After discussing the matter, Zhao Xu asked Zhou Yi to return to Jinghai to make preparations, and also brought Shang Bin with him.

After Zhou Yi left, Zhao Xu looked at the Dasong map on the wall and frowned.

If the Eastern-Turk Alliance is really established, it will indeed be a trouble for him.

The purpose of Japan, Britain and Sam is very sinister.

Their ultimate goal is to divide Dasong, just like the Western Continent, to form many large and small countries.

In this way, Dasong is no longer an independent country, but becomes a continent hosting many countries like Xitu and Tianzhu.

For such a continent, whether they adopt a balance of power strategy and profit from it, or colonize one by one, depends on their mood.

At the same time, they will use this alliance to target every step of his strategy and block his way to expand outward.

As for the way to deal with him, naturally it is to support his agents, constantly fight agent wars with him, and even take action himself.

He is not afraid of war. Even if he faces a head-on confrontation with the British army, he is confident of winning.

But he didn't want to continue to fight against the powerful clans without the intervention of Japan.

Because after all, this consumes Dasong’s national power, and those who die are Dasong’s people.

As for Japan and Britain, they only need to sell weapons and watch them kill.

Even if he wins, what he gets is a Jiangnan with broken mountains and rivers.

Just what they wanted.

Therefore, he couldn't let them lead him by the nose.

This time he occupied Jiangbei. If the Wu Kingdom did not join the Eastern Territory Alliance, he would take advantage of the trend and go south to unify Dasong.

If it was too late, he would find a way to give the Liang family an ecstasy potion to temporarily stabilize the Wu Kingdom.

At least they can't let the Wu Kingdom turn to Japan and others and let them sway in the middle.

In this way, he can first cut off the interference of other forces, and then clean up the remnants of the powerful clans in Jiangnan.

At that time, the war will be much easier and Jiangnan will be prevented from suffering serious damage.

But in this case, he would give Wu Guo some sweetness.

With some calculations in mind, Zhao Xu decided to observe the situation for a while.

It would be best if we can take advantage of the trend and go south to take care of the Wu Kingdom. If not, then consider other options.

After thinking for a while, Zhao Xu left the study.

This conspiracy between Sam, Britain and Japan aroused the anger in his heart.

No force should want to let Da Song go through the contemporary history of shame under his nose.

Moreover, he will eventually lead Dasong to destroy the colonial system established by the Western Territory and seek a bright future for Dasong.

To achieve this, he must achieve a comprehensive military, cultural, and economic crushing of Dasong.

This time he returned from the battlefield to supervise these things personally.

As for wars, large and small, it is enough to leave them to the generals.

"Tell someone to call Liu Fu, Yang Feng, Yang He, Wang Ying and his son." Zhao Xu said to Feng'er.

He wanted to ask how the restructuring and industrial development that he implemented during his absence were going.

In response, Feng'er turned and left. Not long after, the five of them arrived in the study.

Seeing Zhao Xu, Liu Fu said with a smile: "Did His Highness beat the Yan coalition forces to the point where they were running away?"

Yang Feng stroked his beard and nodded slightly, his eyes full of expectation.

Zhao Xu smiled and told them the current battle situation.

After learning that the Yan coalition forces had been neutralized by him, Nanliang withdrew his troops.

The Han family, the Wang family and the Xie family left one hundred thousand troops in Lucheng and fled to Yicheng. The five of them showed admiration.

Originally, they thought that the royal army would definitely have a bloody battle with millions of coalition troops in Qizhou.

But I didn't expect a near miss.

"Hahaha... What a bunch of lost dogs." Yang Feng laughed, feeling happy in his heart.

Throughout his life, he had suffered a lot of cowardice at the hands of these powerful officials.

And if it weren't for these powerful clans to cause chaos, how could Dasong be in today's situation.

Today, they only get the retribution they deserve.

After talking about the current war for a while, Zhao Xu asked the five people about the affairs they were responsible for.

"Back to Your Highness, the preparations for the Teacher Academy are basically in place, including the recruitment of students. It will be officially opened in three days."

"As for the public houses, there are currently 106 registered ones. According to His Highness's wishes, these public houses have made full use of local private schools. Those that do not have private schools are being built and will be completed before September as much as possible. On September 1 Officially enrolling school children.”

"As for the problem of teachers, I have recruited some scholars to go to the public middle schools to teach children to read and read. The public schools in Yancheng will try their best to arrange for students from the science and technology school to give lectures occasionally. After the first batch of students from the teacher school have graduated, they will Can be sent to the public?" Liu Fu said slowly.

Zhao Xu nodded, "I'm afraid there are too few students recruited now, and the territory controlled by the imperial court will soon cover the entire Jiangbei. You have to prepare for a rainy day."

"Yes, Your Highness." Liu Fu said yes with an excited look on his face.

Although the Yanzhou government office and the court are combined into one.

But after all, the territory under his control was too small, which made him feel petty and petty from time to time.

And to govern the entire Jiangbei Jiuzhou plus a Ningjin Dusi, it would really have the appearance of a serious dynasty.
