Chapter seven hundred and twentieth third comers are not good

"Your Majesty thinks this way, you are wrong to blame Your Highness Yan. These sail warships are not to show off their power to Wu Kingdom, but just to show them. On overseas warships, there are now a complete set of drawings of sail warships that can be given to Your Majesty at any time." Sun Zheng said slowly.

"What?" Liang Kai couldn't believe his ears.

"Your Majesty heard it right, the drawings of the sail warship." Sun Zheng emphasized again.

Liang Kai's eyes turned and he chuckled softly, "There will never be a pie in the sky. King Yan sent such a big pie, so he must not be kind-hearted. Tell me, what do you want to do?"

"Your Highness hopes that the Liang family will not be deceived by the Japanese and the Western natives. They ultimately want to embezzle the territory of Dasong. The confrontation between the Wu Kingdom and the imperial court will only benefit them." Sun Zhengdao, "If Yanzhou is destroyed, the Wu Kingdom will not be able to escape the end of destruction. Don't forget that the British once wanted to invade Wu Kingdom, and Japan is also eyeing Wu Kingdom."

Liang Kai's brows frowned.

He naturally knew that Japan and Britain had bad intentions, but for the Wu Kingdom, the most serious crisis came from the King of Yan.

That's why he decided to join the Eastern Turkish Alliance.

So he sneered, "Anyway, it's either destroyed by your King Yan, or by Japan and Britain. Since that's the case, why can't our Wu Kingdom join the Eastern Turkish Alliance and destroy the King Yan first."

After pausing, he continued, "Since King Yan is so wise, why did he kill all the powerful clans and other tribes? He pressed us step by step. If he wanted us to die, we should not blame us and outsiders for joining forces to deal with him."

When Sun Zheng came to Wu, he had already imagined Liang Kai's various questions about him.

He said, "Your Majesty is wrong. It seems that your clan formed an alliance against Yan and tried to destroy our Yanzhou, but it was resolved by Your Highness. Can you punch Your Highness but not your Highness to punch you?"

Liang Kai was suffocated, and he looked at Sun Zheng fiercely, "You are so smart. No matter what, I will be able to join the East Turkish Alliance. Today, there will be a group of steamships and sail warships coming from India. They will be docked at my Lincheng Wharf. From now on, you Yanzhou soldiers will not want to cross Jiujiang."

Sun Zheng narrowed his eyes, and the King of Yan said a lot to him that day, including the steamship docked in India in Britain.

According to King Yan, the steamship sailed very fast.

You can run twenty-four kilometers in half an hour, 576 kilometers a day and one night, and close to six hundred kilometers.

Even if the time for docking and replenishing supplies is deducted, it only takes ten days to get from Tianzhu to Lincheng.

During the chat, the King of Yan was most worried about the British steamship sailing into Jiujiang and blocking the King of Yan's troops from moving south.

After all, steamboats can go upstream without wind.

However, the sailing warship has to rely on wind power to enter the inland river.

Even so, it is not as flexible as a steamboat.

Unexpectedly, this happened eventually.

No wonder His Highness Yan asked the royal family's personal army to suspend the attack.

Otherwise, if you cross the river, you will be cut off by the Eastern Turkish Alliance fleet, and you will be in trouble.

After all, war requires food and ammunition supply.

Especially ammunition supply.

"I want to congratulate Your Majesty. It seems that the drawings of the sail warship are not related to the Wu Kingdom, and the crucible steelmaking process is not related to the Wu Kingdom." Sun Zheng looked with a look, "Since Your Highness has chosen to fight, I will accompany you to the end."

After saying that, Sun Zheng turned around and was about to leave.

"Wait!" Liang Feng immediately called Sun Zheng and quickly came to him, "What is the process of making steel in dry pot?"

"Simply put, the steel made from a crucible is like water, and the cannons and muskets made are more tough, which can greatly increase the range and power of cannons and muskets." Sun Zhengdao.

Liang opened his eyes and turned around. He was not a stupid person.

He chose to meet Sun Zheng because he smelled the opportunity to get along with others.

He joined the Eastern Turkish Alliance to protect himself, but he didn't want to continue fighting with the King of Yan at all.

Living in the south of the Yangtze River and governing with the King of Yan was the result he wanted.

However, he knew very well that Japan and the Britons would urge him to go to war.

This is the price of joining the Eastern Turkish Alliance.

In fact, what he most hopes is to be able to be between the King of Yan and the East Turkish Alliance, and use the King of Yan to balance the East Turkish Alliance and use the East Turkish Alliance to balance the King of Yan.

And in order to win him over, both will give him sweetness.

In this way, the Wu Kingdom can become stronger.

Now, Sun Zheng is obviously coming with the kindness of King Yan.

So he said, "Until now, you haven't mentioned the King of Yan, what do you want me to do with Wu?"

"It's very simple. Your Highness hopes that the State of Wu will submit to the court. In this way, the two families can quit the army." Sun Zheng said loudly.

"Super?" Liang Kai shook his head. This was absolutely impossible. "This is equivalent to betraying the East Turkish Alliance and the Shi Clan. Our Wu Kingdom will die and have no place to bury it."

After thinking about it, he said, "But I can write a letter to Your Highness. As long as your highness's troops do not cross Jiujiang, my Wu Kingdom will never dance with the East Turkish alliance to attack Your Highness. How about it?"

"Yes, but we can only give the drawings of the Wu Sail Battleship, and the drawings of the crucible steelmaking will not be given for the time being, unless the Wu Kingdom can keep its promise within two years." Sun Zhengdao.

The King of Yan said that the State of Wu would be surrendered, and this was just one of their asking prices.

If Wu State does not agree, he can only settle for the second best.

Their most important purpose is to make the Wu Kingdom jump left and right between Yanzhou and the East Turkish Alliance, rather than completely turning to the East Turkish Alliance.

Two years are enough to be clear about the interference of external forces, and it doesn't even take two years.

"This... OK." Liang Kai hesitated and said.

After only taking a look at the warships in Yanzhou, he couldn't stop and dreamed that the Wu Kingdom would have such a warship.

So he was very eager to draw the sailing warship.

Of course, he also wanted to get the crucible steelmaking process.

But the King of Yan was very smart and did not show off the eagle without seeing the rabbit.

If Wu State violated his promise, the crucible steelmaking process would naturally not be obtained.

It is obviously not enough to have sail warships alone. If there are not enough excellent artillery, you will also suffer a great loss in naval battles.

After agreeing to this matter, Liang Kai immediately went to the study room, compiled a book, covered it with the seal of Wu, and handed it to Sun Zheng.

Sun Zheng did not leave much, and accepted the letter and prepared to return to Yanzhou to report his life.

Arriving on the warship, the fleet was preparing to set off.

This is Gong Ying, who is in charge of escorting Sun Zheng, suddenly picked up the telescope and looked at the south.

In the telescope, smoke columns emerged from the sea in the south.

Below the smoke column are steamships.

The sail warship was dragged behind the steamship.

There are twelve such steamboats.

"Is this a steamboat?" Gong Ying slowly lowered the telescope.

Then he ordered the warship to set sail.
