Become a feudal king from today

"Hahaha... Money is a trivial matter. As long as you are willing to sell it, Wu Guo can afford any amount of money." Liang Kai laughed loudly.

He had handed over the drawings of the sail warship given to him by Yanzhou to the shipwrights of Wu.

Since the founding of Dasong, the Liang family has been in charge of maritime trade, and their shipbuilding skills are second to none in Dasong.

In just one or two years, Wu will be able to have its own sailing warship.

But just having a sailing battleship is not enough, he also wants better firearms.

So the British agreed to this, which made him excited.

Wolfe nodded, selling firearms to Wu was also in Britain's interests.

First, Britain has always been in a deficit position in trade with Wu for a long time, and selling firearms can recover some of the profits.

Second, after analysis by Japan, Sam State, and others, this King of Yan will not be as easy to be manipulated as Wu State, and he is an extremely tough figure.

Let him unify the country and they will never expect to obtain the most preferential country privileges like Japan.

Therefore, they must do their best to keep Dasong in its current divided status quo.

Introducing firearms will undoubtedly make it more difficult for King Yan to capture Jiangnan.

"Of course, we also have a request." A strange color flashed in Wolf's eyes, and his tone suddenly became softer.

Liang Kai was in high spirits and said: "As long as I, the State of Wu, can do it, I will never refuse."

Wolfe smiled and said, "Actually, it's nothing. The Governor just wants to sell one commodity to Wu State, tobacco and soil."

"Yantu?" Liang Kairan said, "Little things, small things, I agree."

The children of the Liang family who went to Tianzhu for trade once mentioned that the powerful people in Tianzhu liked to smoke tobacco.

In recent years, some children of the Liang family have brought it back and smoked it at home.

It is said that those who puff out clouds and mist are as happy as gods.

So for him, this smoke is just an object for leisure and enjoyment, and he never thought about anything else.

Naturally, I happily agreed.

"Great, not only Governor Bolt will be happy, but Her Majesty the Queen will also be happy, and maybe she will agree to sell steamships to your country of Wu in the future." Wolfe drew a big pie for Liang Kai.

Sato Zhenjiu on the side looked at Liang Kai, somewhat gloating about his misfortune.

Liang Kai didn't understand the harm of smoke, but he understood it.

Not long after he arrived in Lincheng and met Wolfe, Wolfe proposed to sell tobacco to Japan.

Regarding this matter, he did not rush to agree, but asked the envoy of Sam Country.

From the Sam Kingdom envoy, he learned that Britain was preparing to fully sell tobacco to the Eastern countries. At the same time, he also learned about the dangers of tobacco, so he rejected Wolfe.

Of course, Wolfe would not give up easily, but because he was worried that Japan would completely fall to Sam Country, after he refused several times, Wolfe stopped mentioning the matter.

Wu Guo was not so lucky. He would not remind Liang Kai.

After all, he hopes that everyone in Wu will become a sick man smoking tobacco, which is in Japan's interests.

By then, even if King Yan unified Dasong, he would still be faced with a mess full of smoke and dust.

At his request, the Sam State envoy did not remind Liang Kai.

In terms of relationship, Japan and Sam Country are closer.

They were also worried that King Yan would unify Dasong in the future.

In this way, Japan will become even more important in the future.

Therefore, they are more unwilling to offend Japan than Wu.

"Steam ship? This... this is simply too surprising." Liang Kai became more and more surprised, with a smile on his face.

"Then I wish us a happy cooperation." Wolfe stretched out his hand to Liang Kai.

Liang Kai was startled for a moment, knowing that this was British etiquette, so he also extended his hand.

After saying this, Wolfe's expression became serious, "Then, now it's time to talk about how to deal with King Yan."

He took out a blueprint and spread it on the table. "At present, the firearms of your clan and Japan are far inferior to those of King Yan. Fighting head-on with King Yan's troops will only weaken your strength. Therefore, it is best to maintain the status quo at the moment and wait until we are equipped." It won’t be too late for Britain’s firearms to go north to attack King Yan.”

Liang Kai, Xie Duan, Han Zheng and Wang Zi'an nodded.

At this time, crossing Jiujiang to defeat King Yan would simply mean continuing to die.

"But even so, we can't do nothing." Wolfe's eyes narrowed and pointed to a place, "Now, we need to make this place a mess, and it is best to control it."

The place he was pointing to was clearly Goryeo.

Governor Bolt authorized him to take actions beneficial to Britain based on strategic needs.

In the past few days, he got news through Japan that Beidi had established close ties with the Russian state.

Moreover, the Russian state is putting pressure on Beidi, demanding that Beidi not join the Eastern-Turkish Alliance.

Because of this, the Beidi envoy did not appear at this ceremony.

According to Japanese people, Beidi people are a bit wavering and need to be prepared.

Rus, the mortal enemy of Britain.

Their conflicts have spread from the Western Territory to the Central Territory, and now to the Eastern Territory.

As the Empire on which the Sun Never Sets, the most powerful country in the world, they will not allow the rise of Russia.

Nowadays, the Russian state uses Beidi to intervene in the affairs of the Eastern Territory.

Therefore, how could he make the people of Russia happy? He must prevent Russia from absorbing the interests of the Eastern Territory.

So, after careful consideration, he placed the chess piece in Koryo's position.

This Goryeo is partially bordered by Beidi and Ningjin Dusi.

It was a vassal state of Beidi, but secretly had trade relations with King Yan.

Controlling Goryeo would be equivalent to cutting off King Yan's only overseas market.

The development of Jiangbei will inevitably suffer heavy setbacks.

At the same time, the current involvement of the Russian state in the Eastern Territory is not deep.

Taking advantage of the opportunity to control Goryeo, it can serve as a bridgehead to resist the expansion of the Russian state in the east.

Another point is that if Beidi really decides to fall to the Russian state, controlling Goryeo can also give Beidi a disincentive.

Let Beidi Khan choose one again between the Rus Kingdom and the Eastern-Turk Alliance.

It's literally killing three birds with one stone.

Of course, there is another very important point. He also took Japan into consideration when he launched this plan.

He knew that the Japanese had always been eager to occupy Goryeo.

This plan will receive full support from the Japanese people.

After all, he can ensure Japan's maritime security and ensure that the Japanese army can successfully reach Goryeo.

Sure enough, Sato Shinji's eyes suddenly lit up, and he said: "The general will support this plan. The Goryeo army is extremely weak and does not have many firearms at all. As long as the Japanese army can set foot on Goryeo's land, it will take three months." its demise."

The envoy from the Kingdom of Sam spread his hands. He only had to follow the alliance's plan and had no other opinions.

Liang Kai was happy to see the disaster diverted to the east.

In this way, he can live a peaceful life and receive Britain's firearms while training.

So he said: "We, Wu State, are willing to provide necessary help."

He promised to rule across the river with King Yan, but their fight against Goryeo had nothing to do with King Yan.

Goryeo was nominally a vassal of Beidi, and was even hostile to King Yan. This was not considered a violation of its promise to King Yan.

Seeing that his plan was recognized, Wolf felt excited and said: "We should once again confirm Beidi's attitude in the name of the Eastern-Turkish Alliance. If Beidi remains stubborn, this plan can be launched."
