Chapter 273: Dongying's Woko!
Zhuge Liang and other courtiers never expected that the group of Japanese people in Dongying would dare to write such arrogant content on the national letter?
A country of brothers, and Dongying as brothers?
What kind of thing are you?
The land of the island, a small country, still wants to ride on the head of their Great Song Dynasty.
Also, withdraw all the pirates of the Japanese pirates, and as compensation, the Great Song Dynasty wanted to cede Guree to Dongying?
The pirates are just a few clowns who jump off the beam, and they have the disease of ringworm, and they can be wiped out in the Song Dynasty.
Could it be that this group of widows really treats themselves as dishes?
Think the Great Song Dynasty is begging them to remove the pirates?
The goods of the Dongying merchants were exempt from customs duties, and permanent residency could be obtained in the Great Song Dynasty?
The civil and military officials didn't know what to say anymore.
Dongying: This is no longer arrogance, but ignorance!
What made them even more angry was that this put forward a bunch of conditions for the Great Song Dynasty, but Dongying himself did not express the slightest.
The only requirement was to remove the pirates who had committed crimes along the coast of the Great Song Dynasty.
The tone was like a charity.
They can see that this letter of state is completely Dongying's humiliation and provocation to the Great Song Dynasty!
These island country Japanese people, are they overestimating themselves, or do they look down on them in the Great Song Dynasty?
On the throne of the dragon chair, a trace of coldness flashed in Zhao Lin's eyes.
Dongying Island was not originally included in Zhao Lin's conquest plan.
Because this place is so small, there is no value to conquer.
But what Zhao Lin didn't expect was that he didn't want to conquer the Dongying Island Country, but the other party came to the door by himself.
Send out the pirates to burn and loot in the coastal areas.
He saluted first and then soldiers, and sent a letter of state to Dongying, but he didn't expect the other party to reply with a letter of state so quickly.
But it's not a letter of submission, it's a provocation throughout!
Full of a superior posture.
How can Zhao Lin endure this?
"Everyone, Aiqing, what do you know about Dongying?"
Zhao Lin's eyes narrowed slightly, and he looked at the ministers in the court.
Now that Dongying has already turned his face over, how can Zhao Lin not satisfy the other party and give these people a good slap?
"Dongying is an island nation located in the ocean east of Guryeo, and its ruler is the emperor and supreme, but the actual power is in the hands of General Kanbai. ”
"Between my Great Song Dynasty and Dongying, there is a very vast sea area, and if you want to use troops against it, you must rely on sailors. ”
After a moment, the military department Shangshu said cautiously.
"Sailor. ”
Zhao Lin touched his chin, and his face showed a deep groan, "The military department is still in the book, how many sailors and how many warships are there in my Great Song Dynasty?"
"Your Majesty, my Great Song Dynasty's sailors, a total of about 130,000 people. ”
"There are more than 3,000 large and small warships, but only 500 of them can sail into the sea. ”
The military department reported truthfully.
"The sailors and the warships are indeed a little stumbling, but it is still more than enough to destroy a small Dongying. ”
Zhao Lin's face was unwavering.
Although the number of sailors and warships is less, the sailors of the Great Song Dynasty are equipped with advanced firearms and cannons.
"Spread my will, ordered the Great Song Dynasty sailors to prepare, and led 100,000 soldiers and 500 warships to expedition to Dongying. ”
"In addition, it is rumored that the subject countries such as Jureo, Annam, and Ryukyu will send their own warships to help strengthen the momentum of our Great Song Dynasty sailors!"
Zhao Lin's incomparably loud voice resounded throughout the Jinluan Palace.
"Weichen takes the order!"
The military department retreated.
Zhao Lin's heart was still groaning.
It's not that he is not worried about the sailors of the Great Song Dynasty.
Instead, between the Great Song Dynasty and Dongying, there is a rather distant sea area.
There is no doubt that it is very unsafe to cross this stretch of water.
There is always an element of instability.
In Zhao Lin's previous life memories, Kublai Khan, the ancestor of the Yuan dynasty, invaded Japan twice, but both ended in failure.
It was the loss of the typhoon.
If the steamship could be invented, Zhao Lin would not need to have such worries.
"Song Zhong. ”
Zhao Lin's gaze locked on a person in the court.
"The minister is here. ”
Song Zhong hurriedly walked out, looking extremely respectful.
"Let the Academy of Sciences get a good grasp of research and build a steamship as soon as possible! If anyone can take the lead in developing it, I will reward him with 10,000 taels of gold! High-ranking officials and high-ranking officials and mansions on good land are not a problem!"
Zhao Lin said with a stern expression.
He knew that Liu Ji was already working steam locomotives, but just one steam locomotive was enough for Liu Ji to study.
This steamship, I'm afraid I don't know that it can only be developed in the year of the monkey.
Zhao Lin felt that he couldn't put all his eggs in one basket.
The Academy of Sciences is full of talents, but Liu Ji is not the only genius.
"Yes!"
Song Zhong hurriedly kowtowed.
It seems that after he returns, he will make this steamship a priority research project of the Academy of Sciences.
Zhao Lin bowed slightly.
Promoting the research of steamships is not just about conquering a small Dongying.
Rather, there is a bigger plan.
You must know that the water area of this world accounts for seventy percent, and the land area is not even thirty percent.
If only there was this steamship.
The world is so big, where can't I go?
Daqing Palace.
After retiring from the dynasty, Zhao Lin returned to the Daqing Palace.
The tiny island nation of Dongying is nothing to fear.
But just in case, Zhao Lin still called Cao Zhengchun over.
He has always been very steady.
It didn't take long for Cao Zhengchun to walk into the Daqing Hall and bow to Zhao Lin.
"Cao Zhengchun, I want you to check if there is a great grandmaster in Dongying. ”
Zhao Lin looked at Cao Zhengchun with a solemn expression, and then continued: "If there is, how many are there, it is best to find out and report to me." ”
"The old slave obeyed. ”
Cao Zhengchun nodded and received the will.
However, he did not leave immediately, but bowed to Zhao Lin again, "Your Majesty, King Guryeo is outside the palace, saying that there is something important to ask to see Your Majesty. ”
"King Guryeo?"
Zhao Lin was stunned.
King Juryo is now in such a hurry to ask to see him, why is King Juryo so anxious to see him after meeting Princess Juli and not going back to his country?
"Let him in. ”
Zhao Lin waved his hand.
Cao Zhengchun retreated.
After a while, King Guryeo hurriedly walked into the main hall, and as soon as he saw Zhao Lin on the throne of the dragon chair, he knelt on the ground with a "poof", "Your Majesty!"
"I beg Your Majesty to take a step forward and save our Juli!"
King Guli didn't say a word, and kowtowed directly to Zhao Lin.
His forehead slammed against the floor, thumping and bleeding quickly.
"Why did King Guryeo come here?"
Zhao Lin frowned slightly.
What happened to King Li, who was so embarrassed?
"Your Majesty!"
Only then did King Guryeo stop kowtowing, his face full of grief and indignation, "It's Dongying's widow!"
"Three days ago, the Japanese army suddenly launched an attack on our country of Jureo, seized the port of Busan, and then the army drove straight in, and so far it has taken away seventy percent of the land of our Juyeo!"
"Even my Juryo King City has now been occupied by the Japanese Bandits!"
King Choryeo's face showed a look of distress.
He never thought that just a few days after he came to the Central Plains, such a big thing happened to Juliguo.
The country is dying!
