Start Being a Vassal King Today - Chapter 1055

[Chapter 1055 Intent]

“Your Majesty, I have come to bid farewell. After returning to Korea, I will miss you every day.”

After returning to the Promise Palace, Zhao Xu summoned the kings of all countries in the Palace of Political Affairs.

King Goryeo came out first, looking like he was about to cry.

Because the countries are now Dasong’s vassal states, Zhao Xu is now Dasong’s emperor.

Then the kings of various countries are naturally courtiers in front of Zhao Xu.

Therefore, they no longer called His Highness Zhao Xu, but directly addressed him as a minister.

After King Koryo, the kings of the four countries of Dongying and the five countries of Southeast also bid farewell to Xu Xu.

Zhao Xu nodded, “You have come from a long way and have given me many rare treasures. If you want to go back, I will also prepare some gifts for you…”

After finishing speaking, he gave Xiao Guizi a wink.

Xiao Guizi immediately left the hall, and after a while led some young eunuchs to bring some things.

However, because there are too many things, they are only placed on the square outside the gate of the Yizheng Hall.

“You can go and have a look.” Zhao Xu said with a smile.

The kings of all countries answered yes, turned and went out.

When they came back soon, they all looked happy.

King Yan gave each of them ten bicycles, six refined pendulum clocks, a box of refined pocket watches, perfume, wine glasses and the like.

These things are different from those on the market, they are all custom-made, inlaid with gold and silver, which cannot be bought on the market.

“Thank you, Your Majesty.” The kings were all grateful.

Zhao Xu nodded and smiled, remembering something, he said: “Before you leave, I have something else to discuss with you.”

Everyone heard this, looked at Zhao Xu, and waited for the next sentence.

“Recently, Sam’s warships have been rampant in the sea area of Dasong, which has seriously interfered with the maritime trade of the Eastern Land, which is not good for all countries. In order not to affect the trade, we intend to build a joint escort mechanism, so that the navies of all countries can jointly participate in the fight against Sam’s warships. What do you think about piracy?” Zhao Xu said.

After all the areas east of Malacca were included in Dasong’s sphere of influence, he had this idea in mind.

The sea area in the entire east and west area is too large.

It is very difficult to find a single enemy warship in the vast sea.

This is why up to now, the Dasong Navy has not cleared all the warships of the country of Sam.

After all, even modern society is not immune to pirates sometimes.

Therefore, it is better to let all the countries in the Eastland participate in defending the entire Eastland sea area with the power of one country.

It’s like how Britain integrated the Western countries to deal with Dasong.

Naturally, he can also integrate the countermeasures of the eastern countries.

This joint escort is an attempt to integrate the Eastern countries.

“The ministers are naturally willing, but the warships of the ministers are too humble, and I’m afraid they can’t fight against the warships of Sam’s country.” King Gaoli was a little embarrassed.

The warships of the Sam people attacked merchant ships regardless of whether they belonged to Dasong or Goryeo.

Since the arrival of Sam’s fleet, several merchant ships in their Koryo were also attacked, and many people died.

He was equally resentful about this.

But he was more helpless, and could only count on the Dasong Navy to clear out the warships of the Kingdom of Sam.

King Goryeo’s words were obviously recognized by the other kings, and they all nodded.

“I have anticipated this situation, so I am going to disclose the construction process of the sailing warship to you. You can build the sailing warship by yourself.” Zhao Xu said slowly.

After a pause, he continued, “In addition, I will allow you to order first-generation steamships and naval guns from Dasong to enhance the combat power of your sailing warships.”

After his words fell, the kings of all countries were stunned.

The Great Song Emperor actually revealed the construction technology of the sailing warship to them?

They couldn’t believe their ears.

Then, there was a burst of ecstasy in their hearts.

I secretly rejoiced that I came to the right place this time, as I followed Da Song, there was indeed meat to eat.

“Since the emperor is so generous, if we continue to push and block, we will not know how to flatter.” Hojo Chuanqing hurriedly said, “This country of Sam is really abominable. I thought they were still a serious Western country, but I didn’t expect to do it. They must not let them off easily.”

When the Watanabe case was in charge of Dongying, the natives of the West helped them build sailing warships.

But after Xitu left, the technology naturally also took away.

The sailing warship built was destroyed by Da Song again.

So it means that Dongpu is now the same as Korea and others, and there is a blank in the field of sailing warships.

“Indeed, indeed.” The others echoed.

They all have their own minds.

When they were enslaved by the Western natives, they naturally did not dare to expect to have their own sailing warships.

Because the Western natives are not my race, their hearts must be different, and they will not be allowed to have sailing warships.

But they surrendered to Da Song, and Da Song is inextricably linked in blood and history, so their thinking is naturally different.

It’s like having a big brother in the family who is promising and dominates outside. They are younger brothers, so they naturally want to drink soup with the big brother.

Today they can escort the trade routes of the Eastern Land with Da Song, and in the future they can sail with Da Song, and trade with other distant countries under the system established by Da Song.

And this naturally requires the support of a little force.

After all, it is impossible for the battleship Dasong to protect them all the time.

“Then it’s settled. After you return to the country, you can send some craftsmen to sing, and someone will train them.” Zhao Xu smiled.

Dasong is going to eliminate all the technology of sailing warships, and it is worthwhile to exchange for the loyalty of these vassal states.

Furthermore, his purpose is for escort on the one hand, and business on the other.

He mentioned shooting the first generation of steamships and naval guns.

Both are business.

After they have their own sailing warships, they will naturally be eager for steamships and naval guns.

Otherwise, they would still not be able to beat the warships of the country of Sam.

At that time, he can sell them steamships and weakened versions of naval guns.

It’s the best of both worlds.

But in this way, it will take at least a year for the joint escort.

In this regard, he is not in a hurry.

Because the current scope of activities of the Dasong Navy is still limited to the Eastern Seas, it can still handle it.

If the Allied Forces of the Western Lands defeated Tianzhu and the scope of Dasong’s naval activities expanded to the whole world, then the warships would be stretched.

Because, the failed Western natives will definitely carry out piracy activities even more crazily, and even encourage civil piracy as at the beginning of the Great Discovery Age.

In order to protect trade routes, more warships will have to be invested in protecting trade.

With the participation of Eastern countries, the pressure on Da Song will naturally be much less.

And the outdated technology he exported will not pose a threat to the Dasong Navy.

After deciding this matter, the kings of all countries left with gratitude.

If we say, their submission to Da Song before was just a prestige.

So this time, they were a little more willing.

Da Song eats meat, they drink soup, why not do it.
