Become a feudal king from today - #906 - Chapter 920: Sect Leader

blue sea, blue sky.

After three days of preparation, Zhao Xu and Yang He took a steam locomotive to Jinghai.

Departing from Jinghai, we took a steamship to Edo, Japan.

According to his instructions, Yang He brought more than a hundred officials and businessmen with him.

Most of these officials and merchants were merchants from the former Black Shark Trading Company.

Given their loyalty, they chose to support him in the worst of times.

Therefore, he reciprocated the favor and recruited them all, making them officially become Dasong’s national business force.

After three days of boring sailing, Zhao Xu and his party arrived in Edo on the fourth day.

Get the news in advance.

On this day, Gong Ying, Pan Chang, and the lords of the four northern vassals all arrived to greet him at the port.

“See Your Highness.” Zhao Xu got off the steamer, and Gong Ying and Pan Chang immediately performed a military salute.

Hojo Kawakei, Ono Town, Oda Yamazawa and Mori will bow ninety degrees if they win.

Zhao Xu nodded and returned Gong Ying and Pan Chang with a military salute, “Thank you for your hard work. I will mark your merits in the merit book.”

“Thank you, Your Highness.” Gong Ying and Pan Chang smiled.

Then, the two of them said in unison, “The last general is only willing to charge into battle for His Highness and destroy the invading Western natives.”

After pacifying Japan, they really didn’t want to stay on Wufeng Island anymore, it was too boring.

“Hahaha… don’t worry, you will fight this battle.” Zhao Xu patted the two of them on the shoulders.

The two looked at each other with smiles on their faces.

Zhao Xu then spoke a few more words to Dong An, and finally turned to the lords of the four northern vassals, “You don’t have to continue bowing. Is the south under complete control?”

The translator immediately translated Zhao Xu’s words to the four people.

“Back to His Highness King Yan, after the news of Watanabe’s capture came out, the morale of the southern vassals was completely shattered. Only a few defeated soldiers were left, hiding in the deep mountains and forests as bandits. They were not enough to cause trouble.” Hojo Kawakei grabbed three The man said step by step.

“In the past few days, we have successfully seized the territory of all the southern vassals and controlled Japan.” Ono Town was not willing to lag behind. Following Hojo Kawakei, he introduced the battle situation to Zhao Xu.

Next, Oda Yamazawa and Mori Yukatsu also interrupted from time to time, fearing that they would be left out.

Dong An, Gong Ying and Pan Chang couldn’t help but shake their heads when they met.

They really admire King Yan.

If only one person is supported, I am afraid that this person will easily become the next Watanabe case.

And after supporting four people, they will continue to please King Yan.

After talking for a while on the dock, the group went to the General’s Office, the former office of the Watanabe case.

The most important purpose of his coming to Japan this time was to divide the territories between the four countries, formally split Japan into four country blocks, and sign formal contracts with the four countries.

Incorporate Japan into the Dongtu business circle.

Arriving at the General’s Mansion, Zhao Xu took a map from Xu Lie and spread it on the table.

This is a map of Japan, divided into four pieces by red lines.

When he came, he had thought deeply about it.

He needs the four feudal lords to maintain a balanced situation, so the territory divided among the four feudal lords will keep the strength of the four feudal lords at the same level.

In this way, even if a fight breaks out, the weaker party will not be annexed immediately, leaving ample time for Da Song to intervene.

“Your Highness is wise.” Hojo Kawakei and the others stared at the map the moment the map was revealed in its entirety.

Seeing the areas divided by King Yan, they all breathed a sigh of relief.

On the map, their northern vassal territory remained unchanged, and King Yan only cut the southern vassal territory into four pieces.

Unlike the entire continent in the north of Japan, the land in the south of Japan is four connected island-shaped continents.

Each family is allocated one of the four islands.

Those assigned to small islands were cut off from larger islands to make up for it.

Obviously, King Yan did not favor anyone and treated them all equally.

The last thing they want is to see themselves weakened or the other party becoming stronger than before.

No one can deal with anyone in this situation.

“Edo will be left as a trading port between Dasong and Japan. No one will give it to us. Dasong will take charge of it.” Zhao Xu nodded and pointed to the location of Edo.

Unlike Korea, he naturally had to keep a close eye on Japan to prevent its resurgence.

Therefore, holding Edo in your hands is equivalent to dividing Japan into four countries and placing a ballast stone.

At the same time, Edo will also become the starting point for Daisong merchants going to Japan in the future, making it easier for them to engage in commercial activities in Japan.

The divided territory was meaningless, so Zhao Xu motioned to Yang He.

Yang He placed four contracts on the table.

“In the past, the scope of the contract was only in your northern vassal territory. Now, you need to sign it again.” Zhao Xu said bluntly that he did not need to be secretive.

The current Japan is just his forbidden area.

Hojo Kawakei read the contract and found that it was similar to the contract signed before, so he signed four more contracts without hesitation.

Furthermore, they had to sign it.

The King of Yan could clearly occupy the southern vassal territory, and even the entire Japan, but now he divided the land to them.

These vassals alone make it worthwhile to sign these contracts.

What’s more, they already recognized King Yan as their sect master.

They will carry out King Yan’s orders unconditionally.
