Become a feudal king from today

blue sea, blue sky.

The British merchant ship, towed by a small steamer, sailed first eastward and then back.

In just eight days, they reached the Yizhou waters.

They rested briefly at Lincheng Port, obtained supplies, and headed north again.

However, just as they arrived at the southern part of the Yizhou Sea, they saw a fleet of sailboats towed by steamships approaching them.

"God, this is King Yan's fleet." On the deck, Owen took out his telescope and looked around.

When the news came that the British fleet had been annihilated, everyone in Calcutta felt incredible and had a strong sense of unreality.

How could their British fleet that spanned the world be defeated by the indigenous fleet in the East?

At this moment, looking at the huge sailing fleet in the sun and the large steamships that were not inferior to Britain, he finally understood.

Like Owen, other Britons also had big mouths.

He really couldn't understand that the Eastern countries of Tianzhu, Yajia, Jiaozhi, and Piaoman were so barbaric that they were not much different from the natives of the New World.

During their trade dealings with the Liang family, they had also learned about Da Song's situation, so they were slightly better off.

Why did King Yan suddenly appear in this short period of time?

Is it true that as rumored, a genius from the West is assisting King Yan?

If that was the case, who was this genius that he wanted to meet on this trip?

Just as he was thinking, he noticed that the Yanzhou fleet was coming towards his ship, and the steamship was sailing very fast.

Knowing that he had no escape, he simply stopped the ship and waited for the arrival of the Yanzhou fleet.

In less than a quarter of an hour, the Yanzhou fleet arrived, and the huge warships pressed over like a mountain.

At this time, he raised his hands to show no harm.

Upon seeing this, the soldiers on the battleship disappeared for a while. When they came back, a rope ladder was thrown down from above.

Climb aboard the battleship.

Owen was searched by soldiers on the side of the ship and then taken to the deck.

At this time, he noticed a young man wrapped in a white fox fur and looking towards the sea.

A general who was several years older than the young man and wearing a blue military uniform looked at him with a cold look in his eyes.

Seeing this, he suddenly felt frightened, and immediately said: "My name is Owen, and I am a British envoy. I am preparing to go to Yanzhou to meet the King of Yan and establish diplomatic relations. Please give us permission."

Irving was speaking in bad chant language.

Because Britain had long-term trade relations with the Liang family, and he was responsible for this trade, he learned some Dasong language.

It is for this reason that he was chosen as an envoy.

"No need." The general in dark blue military uniform was Zhou Yi, he said lightly.

Owen was stunned for a moment, "Can you represent King Yan? This is a serious question."

Zhou Yi and the fox-fur young man looked at each other and laughed softly. He said: "The King of Yan is right in front of you, and this is His Highness the King of Yan."

This fox-fur young man is Zhao Xu.

After some preparations, Chang Wei led his troops south, and he decided to go south to Yizhou with Zhou Yi.

He personally captured Bei Yizhou and met with Fei Wen to learn about Britain's reaction after the Battle of Edo and what they were planning.

After all, staying in Yancheng is leisurely.

At present, Jiangbei is developing according to the plan he formulated.

The Science and Technology Research and Development Institute, the Warfare Division Research and Development Institute, and the Ship Division Research and Development Institute are also conducting research one by one according to the drawings he gave.

"His Royal Highness King Yan!" Owen was surprised.

The young man in front of him was only twenty years old.

Britain was defeated at the hands of this young boy?

"You said Britain wants to establish diplomatic relations with Dasong?" Zhao Xu turned his head and looked at Owen.

"Yes, Your Highness King Yan." Seeing Zhao Xu's calm tone, Owen thought there was something going on and couldn't help but feel a little happy.

He secretly said that their reputation as Britain could still intimidate the King of Yan, and he could not refuse Britain's "goodwill".

"Okay." Zhao Xu said lightly, with a smile on his face.

When Owen heard this, he felt proud. He didn't expect that this trip would go so smoothly.

But the smile on his face disappeared immediately, and Zhao Xu's words made his heart sink to the bottom.

"But I have a condition. Britain must withdraw from the Eastern Territory." Zhao Xu suddenly said sharply.

After Britain joined the Eastern-Turkish Alliance, it tried its best to support Japan to deal with him.

This time when he went south to Yizhou and passed Wufeng Island, Gong Ying told him about Britain and Sam's commitment to Japan.

The news came from a captured shogunate official.

It can be said that in order to contain him, Britain and Sam are preparing to arm Japan from all aspects.

Outside Japan is the Kingdom of Wu. During this period, Britain was very deliberate and spent a lot of effort to provide firearms and mercenaries to the powerful people in the south of the Yangtze River.

With such naked malice, they now actually want to establish diplomatic relations with the Dasong court?

Do they really think he doesn't know what they are thinking?

Coming from contemporary times, he knew full well that Western diplomats were essentially spies.

Furthermore, the British fleet in the east was wiped out by him and was left in a weak position. It also took time to wait for the arrival of local support.

Therefore, the so-called diplomatic interaction is not simple, and he feels it is unnecessary.

Of course, refusing directly does not show that he is unreasonable. Why not just put forward a condition. If Britain cannot agree, then they are not sincere.

"It is absolutely impossible for me, Britain, to agree to this condition." Owen said directly.

Tianzhu is Britain's most important commodity dumping ground and source of resources.

For Tianzhu, they even did not hesitate to fight against the Rus Kingdom.

There is no doubt that Governor Bolt and the Parliament will never agree.

This is simply an insult to Britain, a superpower.

"Then there is no need to talk. Go back and tell your governor and your queen that there are two ways for you to leave Dongtu. The first is to withdraw honorably by yourself. The second is that I will lead the army and personally Drive you out!" Zhao Xu said coldly.

Owen's face turned pale. At this moment, he was shocked by King Yan's momentum.

Zhou Yi said at this time: "The two countries are at war. Bu Zhan is here. You can get off the ship now."

Owen regained consciousness and got off the battleship in a daze.

Returning to his merchant ship, he headed straight back.

There is no point in going to Yanzhou again.

Watching Irving's ship leave, Zhou Yi said: "Your Highness really doesn't show any mercy to Britain, but it's really a pleasure. We are not afraid of them in the East."

Zhao Xu stared at the waves on the sea and said slowly: "The conflict between us and the Western Territories is irreconcilable. We want the entire Eastern Territory's sphere of influence, and even a wider sphere of influence, and these are all in the hands of the Western Territory countries. They Will you give it up?"

After a pause, he continued: "Even if they make a temporary compromise, it is just to accumulate strength and find other ways to kill us."

Did he actually weigh that there would be no benefit in establishing diplomatic relations with Britain?

The only benefit Britain could give was to allow trade between the two countries.

But even if Britain agrees, will they actually take action?

Based on contemporary experience, I am afraid that Britain will continue to delay the trade agreement.

When they gather strength, they will immediately tear up the treaty.

In contemporary history, they have often done this kind of thing.

Wasn't it true that a certain country with the surname Su was deceived back then?

In the end, nothing they promised came true.

So, he thought it through.

Give up your illusions and prepare to fight.
