Chapter 611 Hysteria

"Lord Sato, what should we do now?

The Japanese soldier who delivered the letter left, and Han Zheng looked steadily at Sato Majiu. ReadМ

The Japanese can just pat their butts and leave, but their Qi country is right next to Yanzhou, so they can't escape.

Moreover, the conflict between his Qi State and King Yan is irreconcilable. Either you die or I die.

He had no way out.

Therefore, it was impossible to say that he was not nervous when he learned that King Yan's flintlock rifle had a farther range than Japan's.

However, what he is most worried about is Japan's attitude.

Moreover, he was instigated by Japan when he founded the country.

He believed that with the help of Japan, he could fight against the King of Yan and even destroy him.

If Japan retreats at this time, Qi will be in dire straits.

Sato Majiu guessed Han Zheng's thoughts from his worried eyes.

He patted Han Zheng's hand and comforted: "Don't worry, we in Japan will not abandon our friends, and we will support Qi to the end unless Japan is destroyed."

Han Zheng breathed a sigh of relief, and suddenly felt reassured.

Although their flintlock guns were inferior to those of King Yan.

But in his opinion, the national power of Qi and Japan was much stronger than that of King Yan.

Qizhou is a well-known populous state in the north, with a population of more than five million according to official statistics.

Japan, according to Sato Mahisa, has more than 30 million people.

Therefore, even if they cannot take advantage of the attack, as long as they defend the city, they can still kill King Yan at the expense of their population.

In the long run, he believed that victory would still be theirs.

"With Lord Sato's words, I feel at ease. I will use actions to prove that Qi is Japan's most reliable ally."

Sato Zhenjiu nodded and looked to the north. He said: "In the letter, I asked the general to deliver more flintlock guns to your Qi country, and what will arrive this time will be the best flintlock guns from Japan. At the same time, There will also be a group of Japanese craftsmen coming to teach you craftsmen the art of forging flintlock guns."

After hearing this, Han Zheng trembled with excitement, and the fear that had just surged in his heart completely disappeared.

Sato Zhenjiu continued: "In addition, I also suggest that the general takes action in other places to contain King Yan's troops. In this way, the pressure faced by your Qi country will be much less."

Han Zheng felt excited again. He couldn't describe his mood in words and could only nod his head fiercely.

Sato Zhenjiu withdrew his gaze at this time. He was silent for a long time and said to Han Zheng: "Now it seems that if we want to eliminate King Yan, we cannot rely solely on Qi. I suggest sending envoys to other countries to temporarily form alliances with them to deal with King Yan. "

Han Zheng thought about it and felt that this was also a solution.

Before the powerful clans established a country, they unanimously responded to the threat of King Yan.

It was just because Dou Wei was too ambitious and harbored evil intentions that he even deceived them, causing a gap between them.

But what Qi was facing now was life and death, so he didn't care about face. So he said: "I will send envoys right away, but Mr. Sato should also know that they are all unprofitable and can't afford to be early. They are probably looking at the joke of our Qi State at the moment, expecting that both our Qi State and Japan will suffer losses in the fight with the King of Yan." , they just want to reap the benefits.”

"People's hearts are like this, but I have a way to make them submit." Sato Masaku rolled his eyes.

"Oh?" Han Zheng looked surprised, "I wonder what Mr. Sato has up his sleeve?"

"At the beginning, the Han family was willing to believe in our Japanese, and a big factor was that I showed you the flintlock gun. Just imagine, if other powerful families also saw the flintlock gun, they would be moved." Sato Mahisa Said slowly.

"Of course I will be tempted," Han Zheng said, "Does Lord Sato mean to sell flintlock guns to other powerful clans?"

He felt a little unhappy.

After getting the Japanese flintlock gun, he considered himself to be the strongest among the powerful clan.

He didn't want to lose this advantage.

Seeing Han Zheng's stingy look, Sato Zhenji felt contempt in his heart.

Although he and King Yan were enemies and Qi was an ally, from the bottom of his heart, he looked down on these selfish powerful people.

Instead, he thought that the King of Yan who had risen in the north was a powerful figure.

It deserves to be their rival in Japan.

Of course, he won't reveal his true thoughts.

With a smile on his face, he explained: "Don't worry, the best flintlock guns from Japan will be given to Qi State next, and the other powerful tribes will be given inferior flintlock guns. In this way, your Qi State will be able to We can maintain an advantage over them.”

He had only one purpose in doing so, and that was to increase the cost of King Yan's Unification Song.

It's one thing to agree with King Yan in your heart, but since Japan's opponents are all dead, King Yan must be the same as them.

At the same time, Japan can make a lot of money by selling Suifang guns to the Dasong tribe. It is a business that kills two birds with one stone.

No, it’s Sande.

They would also use flintlock guns to temporarily hold powerful clans together to fight against King Yan together.

As for their Japanese flintlock skills, he felt that there was no need to care.

Since King Yan has a more powerful flintlock gun, there is no need for them to hide it.

It is most suitable to use it to contain King Yan.

"Hahaha... That's right. Japan and we are real friends." Han Zheng said.

Then, he added: "I just got a pair of very precious golden Buddhas recently. I want to give one of them to Mr. Sato. I hope that Mr. Sato can say a few kind words to the general for the sake of Qi."

A strange color flashed in Sato Masahisa's eyes.

National affairs are national affairs, but people are selfish, and no one doesn't like gold and silver treasures.

He smiled: "Thank you, Your Majesty."

Then, he took the initiative to mention the war that might happen next.

The failure of this test is likely to lead to a complete outbreak of war between the King of Yan and the State of Qi.

After all, the information collected from all sides shows that the King of Yan stabilized the flank of Yanzhou and opened up trade, which is basically equivalent to completing the preparations for war.

Even if there was no provocation, the King of Yan would probably send troops south, and the provocation would only accelerate this process.

After thinking for a while, he said: "The King of Yan will definitely attack these three cities first. You must defend them at any cost."

During this period, he collected a lot of geographical information about Dasong and sent it to Dongying.

Therefore, he was also very clear about the cities and geography within the territory of Qi.

Han Zheng was not a stupid person, so he naturally knew where the war would break out.

Leling, Pingyuan, and Yangping are the fortresses of Qi State in the north of Jinhe River. It is impossible for the King of Yan not to have an eye on them.

At this moment, he had already deployed heavy troops in the three cities.

Although he knew it in his heart, he still deliberately flattered Sato Masahisa, "Lord Sato is really wise. Indeed, these three cities cannot be lost. Otherwise, Jinhe River will become the natural barrier for the King of Yan to resist us. At that time, as long as the Jinhe River is defended, the King of Yan's fiefdom will be safe and secure."

After that, the two smiled lightly, as if they had a tacit understanding.
