Become a feudal king from today

Chapter 724: Nine River Waves

Lincheng Pier.

Not long after Sun Zheng and his party left, Liang Kai led the Wu ministers to the dock.

He received news of the arrival of the British fleet.

Looking at the steamships that were emitting huge plumes of smoke and dragging the sailing warships forward, his mouth could not be closed for a long time.

Before Sam's country mediated the Eastern-Turkish Alliance, he didn't know anything about steamships.

It was Sam's countrymen who revealed to him the news that twelve British steamships had docked in Tianzhu in order to embolden him.

At the same time, he was introduced to what a steamship was.

Now that he saw it with his own eyes, he was shocked beyond measure.

After the steamship and sailing warship docked at the dock, a British general in red military uniform got off the ship and led a group of soldiers to him.

"Lieutenant Wolf of the British Navy has met His Majesty Wu." Wolf took off his hat and bowed slightly to Liang Kai, "I am here on the order of Governor Bolt to help Wu Guo resist the threat from the north."

"Thank you! Thank you so much!" Liang Kai had beads of sweat on his forehead.

At this moment, he realized how ridiculous it was for him to rely on the Wu Navy to defend himself against the British.

A deep sense of crisis spread in my heart.

He thought he should really thank King Yan.

Otherwise, in a battle between Britain and Wu, the entire navy of Wu would be wiped out.

From now on, the Kingdom of Wu will also be manipulated by the British at will.

The existence of King Yan obviously attracted the attention of the Japanese and Western natives.

Only then did the Eastern-Turk Alliance come into being, and this allowed them, the Wu Kingdom, to escape disaster.

Thinking this way, he felt even more grateful for the agreement he had secretly reached with Sun Zheng.

The King of Yan cannot be destroyed for the time being, at least until the Wu Kingdom is strong enough to defeat Britain.

Otherwise, the country of Wu will lose its value.

The Eastern-Turkish Alliance will definitely become a tool for the carving up of Japan, Sam Kingdom and Britain.

Thinking of this, he became more determined in his decision to do nothing but seek benefits from both sides.

Wolfe nodded, "Wouldn't Your Majesty invite me to sit in the palace and discuss the next action?"

"Yes, yes, yes." Liang Kai came to his senses and hurriedly led Wolfe towards Lincheng.

Arriving at the palace, Liang Kai also called over Sam's envoy Roma and Japanese envoy Higashino Kimura.

After the Eastern-Turk Alliance is established, the two of them will be stationed in Lincheng and be responsible for the affairs within the alliance.

The four parties gathered together, and Wolfe said directly: "Governor Bolt asked me to take full responsibility for the Eastern-Turkish Alliance. Since the most important four parties are all here, why not make an alliance today."

Rom and Higashinomu Village nodded. Naturally, they had no objections. They only hoped that the Eastern Territory Alliance could be established as soon as possible to curb the expansion of King Yan in the Eastern Territory.

Liang Kai did not hesitate. Japan had promised to hand over the northern part of Yizhou to Wu. All the conditions he wanted had been fulfilled, and he should abide by his promise.

Seeing that no one objected, Wolfe took out the contract.

This contract was personally supervised by Bolt, the governor of the British East.

When all parties sign, they will become each other's allies.

If any party is attacked, the countries in the alliance have the obligation to provide support.

At the same time, there are also clauses about commerce and trade in the contract.

Wu State will open three trading ports for trade between the two sides and provide supplies for the other side's fleet.

The contract was made in quadruplicate. When they got the contract, they all signed it.

Because of the above terms, they agreed from the beginning.

After signing the contract, Wolfe stood up and said to Liang Cheng: "Your Majesty, what do you need me to do next?"

Liang Kai smiled brightly, "I hope Lieutenant Wolf will lead the fleet to enter Jiujiang with the Wu Navy, and cover the powerful troops in Yangcheng to withdraw to the south of Jiujiang."

During this period, his envoys had already gone to Yangcheng and returned.

Xie Duan, Han Zheng and Prince Anju all agreed to join him and regard him as emperor.

After so many years, his Liang family finally made other powerful families surrender, just like they once surrendered to the Zhao family.

After that, it was his agreement with King Yan.

He toured Jiujiang with the British this time just to tell King Yan to keep his promise and not to continue to go south.

The Eastern-Turkish Alliance has the ability to prevent him from crossing Jiujiang.

The second step is to get the soldiers and horses of the three powerful families across the river safely.

After all, they will all be Wu's soldiers from now on.

Roma and Higashinokimura also agreed.

The most important thing now is to prevent King Yan from going south and protect Wu from King Yan.

In this way, the split status of Dasong can be maintained.

Next, they will consider how to further contain King Yan.

After deciding the matter, the next day, under the leadership of the British fleet, more than 200 Wu warships headed north in a mighty manner.

They came to the mouth of Jiujiang River and swam upstream.

After another day of sailing, they arrived at the intersection of Yangcheng Canal and Jiujiang.

At this moment, there are many ships from Jinling heading towards Yangcheng.

There were also ships coming from the direction of Yangcheng, filled with soldiers.

They were there to transport soldiers and horses.

Seeing the steamer emitting thick smoke on the river, the young men from the powerful clan on the merchant ship opened their mouths in surprise.

Immediately, they fell into ecstasy.

Because they no longer have to worry about King Yan being able to cross Jiujiang.

Although they didn't know what these smoking monsters were, they must be very powerful.

"It's really amazing." On a luxurious merchant ship, Xie Duan, Han Zheng, and Wang Zi'an looked at the steamer.

In his letter, Liang Kai told them about the establishment of the Eastern-Turk Alliance and also mentioned the British fleet.

"Hahaha, King Yan lost after all. This steamship is enough to prove the majesty of the Eastern Territory Alliance. The one who will destroy King Yan in the future will definitely be the Eastern Territory Alliance." Han Zheng laughed.

They left Yangcheng behind with their troops and horses cut off in the trenches.

However, when Yanzhou soldiers and horses saw them withdrawing, they seemed to have no intention of pursuing them.

Seeing the current situation, he suddenly hoped that King Yan's soldiers and horses would pursue him and even cross the river.

In this way, they can definitely win the battle.

Talking and laughing all the way, the merchant ship the three of them were on gradually headed towards Jinling.

From now on, they will be temporarily stationed in Jinling City.

He built trenches and fortifications outside Jinling City and confronted the Yan King's troops across the river.

Yangcheng South.

Chang Wei frowned and looked at Yancheng.

When the fleet led by Gong Ying headed north, it stopped for a while in Tongcheng, which they occupied, and sent someone to bring him information about the British steamships.

Then, the powerful soldiers and horses in Yangcheng today evacuated southward through the canal.

He did not order an attack.

Because the powerful clan left behind soldiers and horses.

Since they were going to withdraw, why didn't he wait for them to withdraw completely, and then take Yangcheng without bloodshed.

Afterwards, he sent his troops to the west, captured Xiangcheng with Ma Han, and completely controlled the north of Jiujiang.

As for the powerful people who hid in the south of Jiujiang, to them, they were just toothless tigers in a cage.

When their steamships are launched and the British fleet is destroyed, they will be destroyed.
