Become a feudal king from today

"Xiao Wang, thank you for your great kindness!" Chang Wei dispatched troops and generals, and Zhao Xu arrived at the Goryeo Palace under the escort of Xu Lie and other guards. read

At this time, the King of Goryeo led a group of generals and ministers to kneel in front of Zhao Xu.

He followed King Yan all the way to Rangcheng and saw with his own eyes the power of King Yan's soldiers and horses.

The Eastern and Tu Allied Forces, who had beaten them to the point where they were unable to fight back, were vulnerable to a single blow in front of King Yan's soldiers and horses.

They were even more frightened when they saw the firearms of King Yan's army with their own eyes.

Since ancient times, Goryeo has been unable to escape the fate of a vassal state.

Either they were conquered by the northern steppe empire, or they paid tribute to the Central Plains dynasty.

Over the past hundred years, they have regarded Beidi as a superior country and bullied them.

But now, they are abandoned by Beidi.

When King Yan expelled the Eastern and Tu Allied Forces, he also showed them the strength that could destroy Goryeo at any time.

How dare they not surrender to the feet of King Yan.

Zhao Xu looked at the King of Korea and all the ministers and officials.

After letting them kneel for a while, he lazily said the word "no courtesy".

He would not be deceived by the King of Korea's apparent obedience.

Use a contemporary evaluation of Goryeo.

This Goryeo is a lowly class of frontier barbarians who cannot be treated with kindness and righteousness, nor can they be punished with common courtesy. Since ancient times, fish and turtles have been used as livestock, so it is advisable to be broad-minded.

It means they are too mean to be treated with kindness and righteousness.

This can also be seen from a certain contemporary country.

He is simply extremely inferior and arrogant.

If you don't clean them up, they will feel uncomfortable.

Therefore, he would never trust King Gaoli just because of his obedience.

He would ask Chai Wu to establish a branch of the Fourth Academy in Goryeo to supervise Goryeo like a royal guard.

At the same time, Mi Wen's Propaganda Department will be asked to establish a newspaper office in Yangcheng to brainwash the Korean people for a long time.

He will also station an army of about 2,000 men in Yangcheng.

Of course, all the army's salary, food and supplies were borne by Goryeo.

In this way, no matter what the King of Goryeo or the powerful officials of Goryeo did.

He can nip it in the bud immediately.

"Remember, from now on Goryeo is my King's Goryeo. You are just guarding this place for me. If you have any objections, I will let you die without a burial place." Zhao Xu said slowly.

"Don't dare, don't dare." The King of Korea waved his hands repeatedly, "Even if I give the little king a hundred courages, the little king will not dare to betray His Highness."

Zhao Xu nodded, "In that case," from now on, execute the contract you signed in Yancheng. "

The King of Korea responded repeatedly.

Thinking of something, he added: "Also, I need 300,000 young men to build the railway, and I have to choose from you, the people of Goryeo. You should know what to do, right?"

Although the steam locomotive was successfully tested, the railway was the real big project, and it was a long-term project.

At the same time, it requires a lot of labor.

He is more willing to let Dasong people enter the workshop and become some skilled workers.

The purely hard work of laying railways should be left to the Koreans.

After all, in these years, not only 100,000 but also 80,000 Dasong people died at the hands of the Koreans.

Like an avalanche, no snowflake is innocent.

Naturally, the people of Goryeo were not innocent.

The Goryeo soldiers who followed Beidi to burn, kill and loot were from the Goryeo people.

Now, they're just paying back the debt they owe.

"His Highness has a favor for Goryeo. This is just a small matter. The young king will recruit people in the name of corvee to go to Dasong to help His Highness build the railway." The King of Goryeo said. Do you want to buy or not?

Although he didn't understand what a railway was, he obviously couldn't refuse.

This was the first time King Yan gave him an order.

If I don't do it properly, I'm afraid I won't be able to be the King of Korea for many days.

Hearing this, Zhao Xu nodded with satisfaction.

At the moment, except for the steel workshop of the Bingzhan Division.

The Ministry of Industry is building a Wutong Iron and Steel Factory area that is a hundred times larger than the Bingzhansi Iron and Steel Factory in Wutong County, Dai County, Yanzhou, close to Jinzhou.

This is the largest iron mine in Yanzhou, and because it is close to Jinzhou and easy to obtain coal, it will become the largest steel mill in Dasong in the future.

In addition, there is Yuanyang County in Yan County.

This is the contemporary Tangshan area, which is rich in coal and iron ore.

There are many steel plants in modern times.

He also ordered the Ministry of Industry to turn this area into a steel production area.

The matter was settled.

Zhao Xu temporarily lived in Rangcheng.

Although Yangcheng was captured, the war in Goryeo continued.

Before completely defeating the Eastern-Turkish Allied Forces, he had to hold on to a string in his heart.

After all, the fleets of Britain and Wu are still hidden in the waters south of Goryeo.

If so, it would be troublesome for the Eastern-Turkish Allied Forces to rely on the artillery on the battleships to build positions on the tidal flats.

After all, if the Eastern-Turkish Allied Forces do not withdraw from Goryeo, the royal army will have to stay in Goryeo to fight.

Three days later.

Qin Shan and Guan Tong, who were in charge of the pursuit, sent news.

Just as he guessed.

After the Eastern-Turkish Allied Forces withdrew from Rangcheng, they went all the way south and abandoned the cities along the way.

However, they stopped in Qinghe County, Jinhae County, Korea, and defended the area near Qinghe Pier.

"When Qinshan and Guantong arrived, the warships of the Eastern-Turkish Allied Forces bombarded them, and because they received the news in advance, they dug some trenches to resist." Chang Wei reported back to Zhao Xu.

Zhao Xu nodded.

Goryeo was just a tiny place, and a fast horse could run from south to north in just one day.

The Eastern-Turkish Allied Forces were defeated in Rangcheng, so they must have sent people quickly to convey the news.

"Your Highness, the range of the artillery on the British battleship is the same as that of our battleship. This means that they have a mobile fort on the sea, which is very troublesome." Chang Wei frowned, "Maybe we should let our fleet attack and deal with it. These battleships of Britain.”

"Yeah." Zhao Xu was also thinking about this issue.

He had three times as many sailing warships as Britain.

But this time, in addition to Britain's warships, the Eastern-Turkish Allied Forces also had more than 200 warships from Wu.

If they really fight, they may not win.

However, he does not necessarily have to engage in a head-on battle with the Eastern-Turkish coalition fleet.

Just send his fleet to nearby waters.

In this way, Britain's twelve sailing warships must be withdrawn from the coast to guard against his fleet.

If they don't come out, let Zhou Yi pack up Wu's warships and force them out.

When they came out, Yanzhou's warships withdrew, and when they returned, Yanzhou's warships continued to harass.

In this way, all their wishful thinking came to nothing.

Thinking of this, he said to Chang Wei: "I will give Zhou Yi an order now."

This time the Eastern-Turkish Allied Forces attacked Goryeo in a swaggering manner, completely ignoring the existence of the Yanzhou Fleet.

The commander of the British fleet must have thought that he was afraid of the British steam warships and did not dare to fight them.

For those with little knowledge, they would indeed be intimidated by their steamships.

But he comes from contemporary times and has never seen anything in the world.

He did not dare to take action in Jiujiang because the sail warships fought upstream and were at a huge disadvantage.

But out at sea, simply finding a day with good wind conditions can reduce the disadvantage.

It's not like they think, they don't even dare to touch them.
