Chapter 1071 Intention

[Recite the URL three times silently. Do you remember it? If not, I will ask again in the next chapter. It would be best if you share it on Facebook for me]

"Your Majesty, I am here to say goodbye. After returning to Goryeo, I will miss you every day."

After returning to Wuji Palace, Zhao Xu summoned the kings of various countries in the Council Hall.

The King of Goryeo was the first to come out, looking like he was about to cry.

Because the various countries are now vassal states of Dasong, and Zhao Xu is now the emperor of Dasong.

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

So, they no longer call Zhao Xu His Highness, but directly call him minister.

After the King of Goryeo, the kings of the four countries of Japan and the five countries in the southeast also bid farewell to Zhao Xu.

Zhao Xu nodded, "You have come from afar and sent me many rare treasures. If you want to go back, I have prepared some gifts for you."

After that, he gave Xiao Guizi a look.

Xiao Guizi immediately left the hall, and soon led some eunuchs to move some things.

However, because there were too many things, they were only placed in the square outside the Council Hall.

"You can go and take a look." Zhao Xu said with a smile.

The kings of the countries said yes and turned to go out.

They came back soon, each with a happy look on their faces.

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

These are different from the things on the market. They are all specially customized, inlaid with gold and silver, and cannot be bought on the market.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." The kings were grateful.

Zhao Xu nodded and smiled, thinking of something, he said: "Before you leave, I have something to discuss with you."

Everyone looked at Zhao Xu and waited for the next words.

"Recently, Sam's warships have been rampant in the Dasong Sea, seriously interfering with the maritime trade of the East, which is not good for all countries. In order to prevent trade from being affected, I intend to build a joint escort mechanism to allow the navies of various countries to participate in the fight against Sam's piracy. What do you think?" Zhao Xu said.

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

The sea area of ​​the entire east-west region is too large.

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

This is why the Dasong Navy has not yet cleared all the Sam's warships.

After all, even in modern society, it is sometimes impossible to avoid pirate attacks.

Therefore, it is better to let all the countries in the East participate than to defend the entire East Sea with the power of one country.

Just like Britain integrated the Western countries to deal with Dasong.

He can naturally integrate the Eastern countries to counterattack.

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

"Of course we are willing, but our warships are too shabby and I'm afraid we can't fight against the warships of Sam." The King of Goryeo was a little embarrassed.

Sam's warships attack merchant ships regardless of whether they are from Dasong or Goryeo.

Since the arrival of Sam's fleet, several merchant ships of their Goryeo have been attacked, and many people have died.

He was also very angry about this.

But he was more helpless and could only hope that the Dasong Navy would clear out the Sam warships.

The words of the King of Goryeo were obviously recognized by the other kings, and they nodded one after another.

"I have expected this situation, so I am going to open the construction technology of sailing warships to you, and you can build sailing warships by yourself." Zhao Xu said slowly.

After a pause, he continued, "In addition, I will allow you to order the first generation of steamships and naval guns from Dasong to improve the combat effectiveness of your sailing warships."

After he said this, the kings of all countries were stunned.

This Dasong emperor actually opened the construction technology of sailing warships to them?

They couldn't believe their ears.

Then, they were filled with ecstasy.

They secretly rejoiced that they had come to the right place this time. Following Da Song, they could indeed get something to eat.

"Since the emperor is so generous, if we continue to push and block him, we would be ignorant of his kindness." Hojo Kawakage said hurriedly, "This Sam country is really abominable. I thought they were still a decent Western country, but I didn't expect them to engage in pirate activities. We must not let them off easily."

When Watanabe was in charge of Japan, the Westerners helped them build sailing warships.

But after the Westerners left, the technology was naturally taken away.

And the sailing warships built were destroyed by Da Song.

So Japan is now like Goryeo, with a blank in the field of sailing warships.

"Indeed, indeed." Others echoed.

They all had their own thoughts.

When they were enslaved by the Westerners, they naturally did not dare to hope to have their own sailing warships.

Because the people of the West are not of our race, their hearts must be different, and we will not allow them to have sailing warships.

But they surrendered to Dasong, and they have a close connection with Dasong in blood and history, so their ideas are naturally different.

It's like there is a big brother in the family who has made a name for himself and dominates a place outside. As younger brothers, they naturally want to follow the big brother and drink soup.

Today they can escort the trade routes of the East together with Dasong, and one day they can sail with Dasong and trade with other distant countries under the system established by Dasong.

And this naturally requires a little support from military force.

After all, Dasong warships cannot always protect them.

"Then it's settled. After you return home, select some craftsmen to come to Dasong. Someone will train them." Zhao Xu smiled.

Dasong is ready to completely eliminate the technology of sailing warships. It is worth it to exchange it for the loyalty of these vassal states.

Moreover, his purpose is to escort and for business.

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

These two things are business.

When they have their own sailing warships, they will naturally crave steamships and naval guns.

Otherwise, they still can't beat the warships of the United States.

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

It's the best of both worlds.

However, in this case, the joint escort will take at least more than a year.

He is not in a hurry for this.

Because the current range of activities of the Dasong Navy is still limited to the East Sea, and it can still cope with it.

If the Western Alliance defeated Tianzhu and the scope of the Dasong Navy's activities expanded to the world, the warships would be stretched.

Because the defeated Westerners would definitely engage in more crazy pirate activities, and even encourage civilian piracy like at the beginning of the Age of Exploration.

In order to protect trade routes, more warships would have to be invested to protect trade.

With the participation of Eastern countries, the pressure on Dasong would naturally be much smaller.

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

After deciding this matter, the kings of the countries left with thousands of thanks.

If their submission to Dasong was just intimidation before.

Then this time, they were somewhat willing.

Dasong eats meat, they drink soup, why not.
