Chapter 736: Beidi’s Choice
"We have envoys stationed in Beidi from Japan. Leave this to us." Sato Masahisa took the initiative to take charge of spying on Beidi's attitude.
Then, the seven people had another discussion.
It was agreed that if Beidi turned to the Russian Kingdom, the joint fleet composed of the British and Wu fleets would go to Japan, and the three families of Xie, Wang, and Han would send 100,000 troops to accompany them and go to Japan together.
Japan would send 150,000 troops, a total of 200,000 troops, and land in Goryeo under the escort of the joint fleet, and take Goryeo in one fell swoop.
"In fact, why not take the opportunity to destroy the Yanwang fleet together? With the power of the joint fleet, it can definitely be done." After defining the responsibilities of each family, Sato Masahisa suddenly said leisurely.
Xie Duan, Han Zheng and Wang Zian also nodded.
This time, they all relied on the support of Japan to participate in the signing of the alliance, so the three families were all grateful to Japan.
Moreover, although they surrendered to Wu, the three families were still somewhat wary of Wu.
Therefore, the troops of the Han and Wang families have been stationed near Jinling, and they have formed a group with the Xie family, with the Xie family as the leader.
After all, the grain of the world comes from the Xie family, but the grain of the Xie family is mainly produced in the Jiangnan area of Ningzhou.
Their troops can only be supported by the Xie family.
"The King of Yan has always been shrewd. If it is not good for him, how could he take the initiative to fight with us? He will only hide the warships in the inland river." Liang Kai's eyes turned around.
Fighting with the army of the King of Yan means a direct conflict with the King of Yan. He doesn't want to ask for bad luck.
Sato Masahisa said it easily, and it is not their Japanese warships that will be lost at that time.
Wolfe frowned slightly, "I think we should not clash with the fleet of the King of Yan at the moment. In good wind conditions, the steamships have little advantage, and in terms of sailing warships, the King of Yan has 36 ships, three times as many as ours, and has a numerical advantage."
After a pause, he continued: "Right now, the King of Yan is intimidated by our steamships and is not sure that he can defeat us in the inland river, so he stopped going south. If he attacks rashly, once the naval battle fails, the King of Yan will lose his fear of our joint fleet, which is not good."
"We should let him continue to be afraid, so that he will not dare to interfere with our actions at sea. When more steamships and sailing warships arrive in the East from Britain, it will not be too late to encircle and suppress the fleet of the King of Yan."
In the final analysis, he did not have the confidence to defeat the fleet of the King of Yan.
After all, he only had twelve sailing warships in his hands, and he could still try to deal with twice as many enemies.
But three times would be a bit difficult.
As for the navy of Wu, he did not dare to bet on it.
"Hahaha... Lieutenant's words made me suddenly enlightened." Sato Masahisa used laughter to hide his disappointment.
He hoped that the Yan Wang fleet would be destroyed, but he obviously could not order Britain.
Fortunately, there was Wolf's Goryeo plan.
This was also very beneficial to his Japanese.
They had long coveted Goryeo across the sea.
In the next few days, they prepared to land in Goryeo while investigating the movements of Beidi.
Then, they received news that the Yan Wang's troops were heading north and intended to attack Beidi.
Then, the Japanese envoy stationed in Beidi sent news that Beidi formally refused to join the East Earth Alliance.
After this was confirmed, Wolf's plan was put on the agenda.
...
Grassland, Khan's Court.
Muller Hongzhen led the Beidi generals to receive the first batch of Russian firearms.
A total of 3,000 flintlock rifles and 12 field cannons.
"The range of these flintlocks is 150 meters. What Japan gave you is just garbage." Ivan picked up a flintlock and showed it to Mule Hongzhen.
The flintlock craftsmanship that Japan gave to Beidi also used the process of drilling holes in steel parts.
But Japan's steel smelting level is obviously not good.
The amount of ammunition that can be carried is not even as good as the flintlocks that their country of Russia has eliminated.
"150 meters!" Mule Hongzhen's heart jumped and his expression was happy.
He finally let go of the refusal to join the East Earth Alliance.
During this period, he has been trying to strike a balance between Russia and the East Earth Alliance.
So he has an ambiguous attitude towards joining the East Earth Alliance.
Ivan asked him not to join the East Earth Alliance, and he was reluctant to reply.
But he did not expect that after occupying the entire Jiangbei, the King of Yan suddenly marched north and the army pressed on.
At this time, the country of Russia seemed to have lost patience. Ivan decided to tear up the contract with Beidi and no longer support Beidi. He even implicitly mentioned that he wanted to establish exchanges with the King of Yan.
In the battle of Ningjin Dusi, Beidi was defeated and has not recovered yet.
The plan to conquer Tubo is also underway.
If he fights to the death with the King of Yan at this time, the Russian Kingdom will launch an attack in the far north.
Under attack from both sides, Beidi will find it difficult to support.
He devoured Tubo, recovered his vitality, and used the Russian Kingdom to obtain advanced firearms, and his plan to fight against the King of Yan would fail completely.
After weighing the pros and cons, he finally chose to completely turn to Beidi and completely refused to join the East Earth Alliance.
Although he knew that the strength of the East Earth Alliance was also good.
However, Beidi and the Russian Kingdom had a long border and were directly adjacent to each other.
The East Earth Alliance could pat its butt and leave when it saw the situation was not good, but the neighbor in the north could not move away.
In comparison, the Russian Kingdom was more reliable.
"Father Khan, you made a wise decision." Ulanba raised the corner of his mouth.
He had been to the Russian Kingdom, so he naturally knew that the Russian Kingdom hated Britain very much.
After all, Britain had led the Western Earth countries several times to prevent the Russian Kingdom from gaining access to the sea.
In large and small wars, the Russian state paid the lives of hundreds of thousands of soldiers.
Therefore, when he returned to Beidi and learned that Japan had invited his father to join the Eastern-Turk Alliance, he strongly opposed it.
Because once Beidi makes such a choice, it will be equivalent to standing on the opposite side of the Russian State, and he will be the mortal enemy of the Russian State in the future.
The most important point is that the Rus Kingdom is likely to choose to cooperate with the King of Yan to contain the Eastern Tu Alliance.
At this point, the Rus Kingdom and the King of Yan have common interests.
By then, Beidi will become the center of the war.
At first, his father still wanted to get the best of both worlds.
But King Yan's troops marched north, which immediately made his father figure it out, and finally decided to completely fall to Beidi.
"Hahaha..." Muller Hongzhen laughed, and he said to Ivan: "Consul Ivan, I hope more firearms will arrive in Beidi in the future."
"Of course." Ivan had a faint smile on his face.
For preventing Beidi from joining the Eastern-Turkish Alliance, Emperor Nicholas would definitely praise him.
Mule Hongzhen nodded, "That way, I feel at ease."
Although he suspected that this time King Yan went northward and had something to do with Ivan.
But there is nothing to do.
Ivan is afraid that he just wants to show what kind of desperate situation Beidi will face if the Rus Kingdom cooperates with King Yan.
This is a conspiracy.
But now that he has finally made a choice, he will go all the way to the end.
The temporary forbearance is for one day to crush the country of Dasong and drive away the people of Russia!
