Become a feudal king from today - #909 - Chapter 923 Southeast Waves

“Your Highness, you are finally back. This is the information sent back from Tianzhu. Read М”

The royal study room.

Zhao Xu stayed in Gaoli for one day and then returned to Yancheng.

As soon as he arrived at the palace, Tsui Hark arrived.

“Tianzhu?” Zhao Xu’s eyes flickered.

Dasung unified the country, and pacified Japan, and was preparing to deal with the Western-Turkish allied forces invading Eastern Tutu with peace of mind.

Tsui Hark’s information from Tianzhu was not untimely.

“Yes, because the Liang family had frequent trade contacts with Tianzhu, there were some merchants in Tianzhu who were dependent on the Liang family. I bribed three of them, and then sent team members to sneak into Tianzhu, asking them to work under these merchants and hide their identities.” Tsui Hark said.

After a pause, he continued, “While in Tianzhu, they adopted some Tianzhu beggars and trained them to become informants.”

Zhao Xu nodded, spying on intelligence was a very dangerous business.

It is already good that the Fourth Institute can extend its intelligence tentacles to Tianzhu.

“Also, His Highness asked me to send spies to sneak into the Western Territory before, and now I have some clues. Just as His Highness said, Australia has exiled many British prisoners. With the cooperation of the Navy, I have collected some and are training them. I hope they can be used in the future. ” Tsui Hark added.

“That’s great. You, the intelligence leader, are becoming more and more qualified now.” Zhao Xu said with a smile.

Then, he opened the information sent by Tsui Hark and looked for the information he wanted.

After a long time, he closed the document and turned to look at Tianzhu’s location on the map.

The information on the intelligence is very detailed.

As many as 100,000 coalition troops arrived in Tianzhu this time, all of which were stationed in Tianzhu.

Because only Tianzhu can support these 100,000 troops.

In addition, it is about the number of supporting warships.

This has greatly enhanced the naval power of the Western Territory in the Eastern Territory, and even stabilized the Dasong Navy in terms of the number of warships.

“This information was sent continuously in the past five days. This is the information within the five days after the coalition forces arrived in Tianzhu. The information on the last day showed that the governor of Tianzhu, Bolt, summoned the kings of Tianzhu’s kingdoms and combined them to send supplies to Tianzhu’s workshops. With sixty-four steam engines, it is possible that they are training the Tuban army and assisting them in fighting.” Tsui Hark analyzed it.

“It’s very possible.” Zhao Xu came to the same conclusion as Tsui Hark based on contemporary history.

The two contemporary Opium Wars both involved Indian state armies.

There are Indians in the surviving picture of the Eight-Nation Allied Forces.

At that time, they participated in this war as a collaborative force with the British.

For this reason, contemporary Indians claim to have defeated the Qing Dynasty and are proud of it.

During the First Opium War, there were actually two battlefields.

One is on the coast of Guangdong and the other is in Tibet.

At that time, the Indian princes invaded Tibet from three directions.

They were so active, firstly, to win the support of the British for their rule over the feudal states.

Secondly, these princely states cultivated opium poppies and manufactured opium, and the Qing Dynasty banned smoking, which harmed their interests.

Third, they relied on the support of the Western countries and had an inflated mentality, thinking that they were also members of the great powers.

With this case in mind, Zhao Xu naturally believed that the Tianzhu people here would not be able to grasp him and would dare to pluck the tiger’s hair.

“If Britain is like this, then Frank, Stern and Franchi must also follow suit.” Zhao Xu laid his hands on the entire Eastern and Southern Territories.

These places are all under the control of the Western Turks.

Moreover, Jiaozhi and Piaoman have always had a very bad relationship with Dasong, and they are full of ambitions for Dasong’s land.

At this time, if there are more Westerners providing them with muskets and artillery, I am afraid that they will immediately become the vanguard against Dasong.

Contemporary history has amply demonstrated this.

No matter how the times change, there are only two states of Jiaozhi and Piaoman.

Otherwise, they will be beaten by the Central Plains Dynasty and cry for father and mother, claiming vassal and paying tribute.

Otherwise, they frequently launch wars and invade the Dasong frontier.

“It must be so. When they are ready, Jiaozhou and Yunzhou will not be peaceful.” Xu Ke frowned.

Hearing this, Zhao Xu suddenly smiled and patted Tsui Hark on the shoulder, “It won’t be us who will be uneasy then, but them.”

The barbarians are afraid of power but not virtuous.

For countries like Jiaozhi and Piaoman, they will not be honest unless they are beaten violently.

Therefore, he only drove away the Western Turkish troops from their land, but failed to achieve the goal of overpowering them.

The only way is to beat them up yourself.

Previously, due to his vigilance, he had asked the troops from Jiaozhou and Yunzhou to cooperate with the Fourth Academy to find out the terrain and road conditions.

Even if they don’t cause trouble, he will go south.

He would never allow unrest at his doorstep.

This time, it was like the Westerners created an opportunity for him.

“Your Highness is absolutely right.” Tsui Hark thought for a moment and felt relieved.

It seems that his worries are somewhat unnecessary.

Even the muskets and artillery of the Western-Turkish army were a whole generation behind them.

Now they seem to be in a defensive posture, but they are actually in an offensive posture with ease.

The two were talking.

Suddenly Feng’er walked in and handed a note to Zhao Xu.

This is a message transcribed by cable telegraph, from Jinghai.

Nowadays, cable telegraphy has long been extended here.

The telegram said that the navy was escorting a British steamship to Yancheng.

On board this ship were envoys from the British.
