Steel Dynasty - Chapter 735

[Chapter 734 Slave Capture Plan]

Bursts of sea breeze blew on Yue Yun and the generals. The sail warships were neatly moored at the Haigu City dock, giving people a visual shock.

Liu Chen’s words made Yue Yun frown, “War is not a child’s play, how can it be fought out of temporary anger? The name of the river outside Liujing City is Datong River. Compared with the Yangtze River and Yellow River in Dayu Kingdom, this river inside The land river is very narrow, and the water depth of the river is not suitable for our warships to sail in it. Otherwise, if the first ship runs aground, the consequences will be disastrous. “

Li Cheng looked at the huge warships on the sea at this time, nodded and said: “The general clearly understands that the Datong River is indeed not suitable for the course of this kind of warship, and the Golden Horde has donated a lot of artillery to the King of Korea. If they use artillery to sink your lead ship and stern ship, then you will be the turtle in the urn. “

Liu Chen’s old face turned red. Like Lu Fei, he is also a grumpy military commander, and sometimes he only speaks quickly.

“General, I think it’s easy, but what should I do now? This trip can’t be in vain.”

Yue Yun’s eyes were profound. These years of practical experience at sea and the knowledge he learned at Bowen College made him not the same as before. That fisherman who only relies on his brute strength.

After pondering for a while, he said: “Of course it can’t be in vain. At least we have to hold this ancient sea city in our hands. In addition, from now on, we will block the coast of Goryeo and prohibit any Goryeo merchant ships and fishing boats from going to sea. The land of Goryeo is barren, and many things need to be imported from Japan and Japan. The Chongqing Kingdom bought it and cut off their shipping. “

Yes, General,” Liu Chen said.

Li Cheng’s heart skipped a beat. In his opinion, this Yue Yun was not simple. At least he knew the current situation in Goryeo very well.

Before the invasion of Japan, Goryeo’s situation was okay. However, after half of the land of Japan was ceded and a large amount of money and food were lost in the war, Goryeo’s life began to become difficult.

Therefore, compared with the past, Goryeo has many more merchant ships going to sea this year. Now that Yue Yun has directly cut off Goryeo’s maritime trade routes, it has to be said that Goryeo’s life will be even more uncomfortable.

After saying this, Yue Yun looked at Li Chengzai. When Li Chengzai was heading to Liujing City, he suddenly had the idea of controlling Goryeo.

After looking at Li Chengzai carefully for a while, Yue Yun said: “Li Chengzai, I know that you came here to get ahead. Now I will give you this opportunity. Now I just ask you whether you dare or not?”

“General, I have no way out now. All the ministers in the Goryeo court want to kill me.” Li Chengzai gritted his teeth as he remembered what happened in Liujing City.

The dignity of Goryeo is even greater than that of Dayu. His status as a bastard will be a stain on his life, and this stain will make him have no hope in his official career.

Because of this, he would risk his life to Yue Yun.

Yue Yun nodded. He asked Li Chengzai to go to Liujing City in order to force him to a dead end. With a smile on his face, he said, “Then do you want to be the king of Goryeo?”

“King of Goryeo?” Li Chengzai was eating. Startled.

“Yes, he is the King of Korea, but there is a condition. If you become the King of Korea in the future, you will merge Korea into the Kingdom of Chongqing.” Yue Yun said loudly, this is the current emperor’s strategy.

Li Cheng had no choice now. He didn’t care whether Goryeo was merged into the Golden Horde or the Great Chongqing. What he wanted now was to live a glorious life, so he immediately said, “I agree to everything the general said.”

Yue Yun revealed With a satisfied smile, he said: “In that case, I will provide you with firearms and help you train an army. You take this army to the south and drive away the Japanese. From now on, the land in the south will be yours.” “

Li Chengzai’s heart beat unsatisfactorily. Yue Yun’s words were a huge temptation for him. He dreamed of having his own army.

If Yue Yun can really train troops and provide firearms for him now, there is no way he can really make a difference in the south.

“Thank you, General.” Li Chengzai suddenly knelt in front of Yue Yun, his body trembling slightly with excitement.

Yue Yun helped Li Chengzai up and said in a sincere tone, “So this ancient sea city is particularly important and cannot be lost. Before that, you need to properly handle the affairs here for me.”

Li Chengzai understood, Although the Dayu people captured Haigu City, the people in the city were still wary and disgusted with the Dayu people. It can be said that the Dayu people only occupied the city, but they were unable to manage Haigu City.

Now the purpose of Yue Yun’s words is to stabilize his people’s hearts and train the army based on Haigu City.

He said: “General, I have asked many people, and they have seen with their own eyes that most of the officials in Haigu City have fled, so as long as the general supports me, I can take on this responsibility.”

“Well, in this case, the government affairs of Haigu City will be It’s up to you.” Yue Yun and the generals looked at each other.

Rather than letting soldiers bloodyly suppress the people of Haigu City, they are more willing to choose an agent to manage the city, because in this way their cost of controlling Haigu City will be greatly reduced.

After all, Xiao Ming once told them clearly in the military academy: “The cheapest cost of colonization is not to participate in the internal affairs of the colonial country.”

After explaining this matter, Yue Yun asked Li Chengzai to go back temporarily.

At this time, Xie Yuan, who had been holding back his words for a long time, said anxiously: “General, are you really planning to train an army for this Li Cheng? The barbarians here don’t keep their word. If they use the weapons we provide in the future, It’s not worth the gain to attack us.”

Yue Yun said calmly: “What I will provide them this time is matchlock guns and export-type artillery, so you don’t have to worry. Even if Li Chengzai betrays us in the future, he will not be able to deal with it. What threat do we pose? The real enemies of Dayu are the barbarians and the Japanese. If we can make the barbarians and the Japanese fall into the quagmire of the Goryeo War without spending a single soldier, we will win half of this war.”

Xie Yuan .

It was not as deep as Yue Yun thought, he said; “But these matchlock guns and artillery also cost money. It would be a pity to give them to Li Chengzai for nothing. After all, it will be a long time before he matures.”

Hearing this, Yue Yun laughed loudly and said, “Who said that I would give this Li Chengzai for nothing? Nowadays, the construction of railways in six states and the plantations require a lot of coolies, and there are a lot of refugees in Korea, so let Liang It’s always okay for Dahai to take some refugees back.”

Liu Chen and Xie Yuan nodded. They knew very well who Liang Dahai was. He was a slave trader appointed by the emperor.

No one knows how long this ancient sea city can hold its own. It is always a good idea to capture some slaves and go back to build the railway now.
