Chapter 577: Secret Affair

"Sent from Tianxianglou?"

In the study, Zhao Xu was staring at the map of Ningjindusi, planning how to take over this narrow territory.

After taking the letter, he sat down and pulled out the letter inside.

Since he expressed his attitude to Nian Yuyan last time.

He just regarded Nian Yuyan as someone who was persecuted by the powerful family and protected by him, just like Yang Feng.

He didn't ask Nian Yuyan and Xu E to provide him with any information, but only asked them not to make trouble for him and just be quiet.

Lest they force him to be cruel.

Thinking of this, he unfolded the letter, glanced at it slightly, and frowned immediately.

He thought that Tianxianglou gave him news from the capital.

Unexpectedly, it was from Qingcheng, Qizhou.

According to the information provided in the letter, during the plague rampant in Yanzhou and the Ningjin War.

The exchanges between Dongying and the Han family became closer and closer.

A large number of Japanese merchant ships hoisted the official Japanese flag, first detoured to Yizhou, and then arrived at Qingcheng Port, seemingly deliberately avoiding the seas where the Black Shark pirates often appeared.

In addition, the Japanese merchant ships were also escorted by Japanese warships.

Moreover, it seemed that the Portuguese were also involved.

Let the Portuguese participate in the sea trade with the Han family.

At one time, two Portuguese warships and Japanese warships escorted the merchant fleet to Qingcheng Wharf.

The Han family sold them raw silk, porcelain, tea, spices and other items.

The Portuguese bought directly with silver, while the Japanese were more complicated, with sulfur, cloth, silver and so on.

During this period, there were many more Japanese merchants in Qingcheng.

Of course, this is not the key to this intelligence.

According to the letter, two Japanese people accidentally revealed the sinister plan of Japan while drinking and having fun in the Qingcheng brothel.

Dongying decided to support one force to stir up civil strife in Dasong, so that the various forces would fight to the death, causing Dasong to become weak.

Then, like the colonists in other places, they would turn Dasong into their colony.

The two Dongying people also mentioned him and the Black Shark Fleet.

Now the Dongying shogunate is making every effort to publicize his threat and let the British pay attention.

The letter also mentioned that the British have been complaining that the Liang family has earned a lot of silver from them.

They are tired of this trade deficit.

Now, they have basically completed the division of the entire world, and only Dasong is not under their control.

So there is already a plan to plunder Dasong's wealth.

"It's really asking for death!" Zhao Xu crumpled the letter into a ball and threw it on the ground.

Contemporary history has proved that as long as the island country is a little ahead in technology, it will not be able to suppress its ambition to invade.

In this world, this truth is also applicable.

It's not that he is biased, but this is determined by the narrow and radical characteristics of the island country.

Now, Dasong's sea ban has obviously given Dongying, which has no sea ban, a certain advantage in technology.

Moreover, Dasong is in a period of chaos, how could Dongying miss this opportunity to erode Dasong.

"Internal and external troubles are nothing more than this." Zhao Xu frowned.

The ambitions of Dongying and the Western countries will only make the situation in Dasong more complicated.

Although he was angry, he was helpless.

He caught up with such an era.

However, he was not afraid.

Nowadays, steam engines are constantly being put into all walks of life in Yanzhou, allowing Yanzhou to gradually move from a purely agricultural era to an industrial era.

Later, on this basis, more technologies will be realized.

In the future, his capital to face the enemy will become thicker and thicker.

Since they dare to reach out to Dasong, they must be prepared to pay the price of having their hands cut off.

"This news is very important, Xu Lie, go to Tianxiang Tower on behalf of this king, thank Miss Nian." Zhao Xu said to Xu Lie.

Xu Ke's Fourth Academy has also been keeping an eye on the Japanese during this period, and has also mastered a lot of information.

He knew many of the contents of the letter in advance.

However, this is the first time he has seen the content of the conversation between the two Japanese.

Now, he had a preliminary understanding of the purpose of the East Japan.

Just like the Northern Di, they are naturally not of our race, and their hearts must be different.

"Yes, Your Highness." Xu Lie responded and turned to leave.

After Xu Lie left, he sent someone to send an order to Zhou Yi, asking him to expand the scope of action and go to all places on the sea.

Didn't he want to trade with the Han family in the East Japan? He would make these trades more stimulating.

In the past, he confronted the Northern Di, and didn't want to fight on two fronts, so he temporarily forbeared.

Now, since the East Japan is so ambitious, he can't be polite.

The Han family is in the belly of Yanzhou, and he doesn't want it to grow with the help of the East Japan and pose a threat to him.

After thinking for a while, he dropped the matter.

Just like the invasion of the Northern Di, whether it is the East Japan or the colonists of this world, they are objective existence.

Worrying and worrying can't change anything, it's better to continue to become stronger according to your own steps.

At that time, no matter what tricks they play, he can easily get rid of them.

As soon as he understood the idea, Zhao Xu sent someone to inform Liu Fu to prepare the accompanying officials.

Tomorrow, they will set off for Ningjindusi.

Now, Ningjindusi has been conquered, but it will face the problem of governance later.

Otherwise, a messy place will only become a burden to Yanzhou.
