Become a feudal king from today - #891 - Chapter 905 Hunter? prey?
“Your Highness means that in addition to Sam Kingdom, fleets from other Western countries will soon arrive?” Zhou Yi’s eyes narrowed slightly.
Not only did he not have any fear, but there was a murderous intention in his heart.
King Yan’s requirements for their navy and marines have always been to be good at fighting and to have some bandit spirit.
This is how he trained his soldiers.
Therefore, their navy is also bloodthirsty under its brave character.
The upcoming crisis at sea is the time for them to kill everyone.
“Yes, according to the intelligence revealed by the Ross people, his actions are coordinated. Sam Country may arrive earlier due to the distance, but the big action will definitely be carried out after other Western and Turkish countries arrive.”
“Now that they are approaching Dongying and Yizhou, I guess that one is to embolden the Watanabe case, and the other is to investigate.” Zhao Xu said.
Zhou Yi pondered for a moment and said, “What Your Highness said, it seems like this. The Sam warship we were fighting with arrived in Edo and almost sailed along the shore. It also hung a very big flag. It must have been Just to convey the news of their arrival to the Watanabe case.”
Then he sighed, “It’s a pity that the ocean is too big for our fleet to defend tightly. There will always be loopholes for them to exploit.”
Zhao Xu deeply agreed.
Even in this modern era, with satellites in the sky, it is sometimes impossible to detect the location of every enemy warship.
What’s more, now I can only rely on two eyes to find it.
Because of this, the Age of Discovery was an era when pirates were extremely rampant.
On the vast sea, it is difficult for the navy to deal with pirates and privateers privately allowed by various countries.
At the moment, he is not afraid of a decisive battle between the Western and Turkish fleets.
He was afraid that they would engage in sparrow tactics, disperse the warships, attack his merchant ships everywhere, and even raid the coast.
However, facing this situation, he was not helpless.
Just like a sparrow, it always stops on a branch to rest when it is flying.
The warships of the Western Territories always need to dock at places to obtain supplies.
The French, Stern, Frankish and British warships can rely on the colonies in the East.
The country of Sam can only rely on important islands in the Pacific.
Just find the island they occupy and take control of it.
It would be able to cut off their routes and prevent Sam’s navy from entering the Eastern Sea.
Furthermore, from Japan to Ryukyu, then to Yizhou and Luzon, this is an island chain.
Controlling the island chain can also prevent Western-Turkish warships from entering the Dasong Sea.
However, defense is always passive.
To completely solve this problem, we must eventually clear out the colonies and strongholds of the Western Turks in the Eastern Territory.
Therefore, while defending, the most important thing is to attack.
“It’s time for the Ship Department’s steamships and sail warships to be launched as well.” Zhao Xu suddenly asked.
In the current maritime situation, they need to defend themselves to ensure that Western and Turkish warships will not enter the island chain for sneak attacks.
It would also require a certain number of warships to take the initiative to destroy the Western Turks’ fleet.
The current twenty-four steamships are not enough.
Only when the warships of the Ship Division are launched into the water can they have spare power.
“That’s almost it. Military steamships will be launched in six days. By then, the fleet will have sixty steamships and sixty sail warships, but the remaining thirty sail warships will not be launched until December.” Tan Tan. At this point, Zhou Yi felt excited.
“Sixty steamships and sixty sail warships are enough.” Zhao Xu said.
When he took a steam locomotive to Jinghai at the beginning of the year, Chen Shou promised that he would launch a batch of steamships in August.
He did as expected.
The only pity was that the enemy did not give him time to wait for the remaining thirty sail warships to be launched.
Otherwise, his navy would be more abundant.
Thinking of this, he told Zhou Yi his island chain defense strategy.
Zhou Yi heard the words and nodded slowly, “Your Highness is wise, if this is the case, we will organize three warships into a team and form eight teams of warships to patrol the waters between the island chains. In this way, even if they suddenly encounter more than ten warships from the other side, they will still have If we have the ability to deal with it, the remaining warships can attack as much as possible.”
“Okay.” Zhao Xu came to the world map in the study, “After the steamship is in line, you and the Marines can launch an attack on Luzon.”
This was his first step in bringing Dongtu into Dasong’s sphere of influence.
“Yes, Your Highness.” Zhou Yi responded.
After reporting some naval matters to Zhao Xu, Zhou Yi prepared to return to Jinghai and wait to receive the steamship.
As soon as he arrived at the door, he seemed to have thought of something, so he turned back and said seriously, “Your Highness, the appearance of Sam’s warship will probably affect the current situation in Japan.”
“I understand what you mean.” Zhao Xu looked at Japan on the map.
What Zhou Yi is worried about is that the return of the Sam Kingdom will give hope to the Watanabe case and the southern feudal lords and strengthen their determination to resist Dasong.
“I will immediately give an order to the four northern vassals to raise their troops and go south. When the time comes, ask Gong Ying to cooperate, and the chaos in Japan will be over.” Zhao Xu continued.
At present, the Marine Corps has also completed the installation of Qin-style rifles.
The four northern vassals also installed the front-loading rifles he sold.
Under the joint stranglehold of one inside and one outside, the Watanabe case and the southern feudal lord loyal to him had only one way to fall.
Sam’s dream of regaining control of Japan is doomed to fail.
Zhou Yi heard this and smiled evilly, “When I finally return to Jinghai, I will give orders to Gong Ying.”
After that, Zhou Yi said goodbye and left.
After Zhou Yi disappeared, Zhao Xu called Dong An.
He was ordered to send a diplomat to carry his order to the four northern vassals of Japan, and unite the four vassals to move south.
During this time, they should also adapt to the muzzle-loading rifles, and it’s time to take action.
Dong An took the order and returned, and Zhao Xu began to think about the world map.
The Sam fleet has arrived, and the combined fleets and armies of Britain and other Western countries will probably arrive as well.
At the same time, according to the information provided by the Fourth Court, Mule Hongzhen fell into madness due to the destruction of the Iron Wood Tower and the three royal tents.
After swearing an oath in front of the altar, they started to mobilize their troops and even summoned men aged 12 to 14 from Beidi to supplement their troops.
Previously, Beidi stipulated that one could join the army only at the age of fifteen, which shows its hysteria.
But this also proves Beidi’s weakness.
Just like Japan during the contemporary World War II, there was a shortage of troops at the end of the war, and it could only send 13- and 14-year-old child soldiers to serve as cannon fodder.
In addition, 30,000 soldiers from the Russian state have arrived at the Heilong River line and are building bastions and other facilities.
In this way, this means that Xitu’s layout around Dasong is roughly in place.
A hunt for Da Song is about to begin.
However, if Dasong was still under the rule of Zhao Heng, where powerful clans were rampant, this siege would have been fatal.
But now, Dasong’s enemy is facing him.
Who is the hunter?
Who is the prey?
This is not necessarily the case.
