Chapter 735 Wolf Project
"Hahaha... silver is a trivial matter. As long as you are willing to sell it, I can afford to pay as much money as possible." Liang Kai laughed out loud.
He had handed over the sail warship drawings given to him by Yanzhou to the ship craftsmen of Wu.
Since the founding of Dasong, his Liang family has taken over the sea trade, and his shipbuilding skills are second to none in Dasong.
In just one or two years, Wu Kingdom can have its own sail warship.
But just sailing warships is not enough, he also wants better firearms.
So the British agreed to this matter, which made him excited.
Wolf nodded and sold firearms to Wu Kingdom, which was also in Britain's interests.
First, for a long time, Britain and Wu have always been in a deficit position in the trade between them, and selling firearms can save some of the benefits.
Second, after analysis by Japan, Sam's Kingdom and theirs, the King of Yan would not be as easy to be controlled as Wu Kingdom, and was an extremely tough person.
Let him unify the Great Song, so they could not imagine getting the most favorable country and other privileges just like in Japan.
Therefore, they must make every effort to keep Dasong's current split situation.
Inputting a firearm will undoubtedly make it difficult for King Yan to capture Jiangnan.
"Of course, we have a request, too." A strange color flashed in Wolf's eyes, and his tone suddenly became softer.
Liang Kai was in high spirits, and he said, "As long as I, Wu, can do it, I will never refuse."
Wolf smiled, "Actually nothing. The Governor just wanted to sell a kind of commodity, opium, to Wu."
"Oxa?" Liang Kairan, "I agree to the small matter, small matter."
The Liang family members who went to Tianzhu to trade once mentioned that the powerful and wealthy people in Tianzhu like to smoke tobacco.
In recent years, some Liang family members have taken them back and sucked them at home.
It is said that he is swallowing clouds and fog, and he is as happy as a god.
So for him, this opium is just a leisurely and enjoyable object, and I never thought about anything else.
Of course, I agreed happily.
"It's great. Not only will the Governor Bolt be happy, but Her Majesty the Queen will be happy too. Maybe in the future, they will agree to sell steamboats to you Wu Kingdom." Wolf drew a big cake for Liang Kai.
Sato Masahiro, who was beside him, looked at him openly, feeling a little gloating.
Liang Kai did not understand the harm of opium, but he knew it.
Just as he arrived in Lincheng and soon after he saw Wolf, Wolf proposed to sell opium to Japan.
He did not rush to agree to this matter, but asked the envoy of Sam's country.
Only after the envoy of Sam's country did he learn that Britain was preparing to sell opium to the eastern country in an all-round way, and at the same time, he also learned the harm of opium, so he refused Wolf.
Of course, Wolf would not give up easily, but because he was worried that Japan would completely turn to Sam's country, Wolf stopped mentioning this matter after he refused several times.
But Wu was not so lucky, and he would not remind Liang Kai.
After all, he hopes that everyone in Wu will become a sick man who smokes tobacco, which is in the interests of Japan.
At that time, even if the King of Yan unified Dasong, he would face a mess of opium everywhere.
At his request, the envoy of Sam Country did not remind Liang Kai.
In terms of relationships, Japan and Sam Kingdom are closer.
They were also worried that the King of Yan would be unified in the future.
In this way, Japan will become more important in the future.
Therefore, compared with the Wu Kingdom, they are more reluctant to offend Japan.
"Steamboat? This... this is simply too surprising." Liang Kai was even more surprised, with a smile on his face.
"Then I wish us a happy cooperation." Wolf stretched out his hand to Liang Kai.
Liang Kai was stunned for a moment, knowing that this was the etiquette of the British, so he also stretched out his hand.
After talking about this, Wolf's expression became serious, "Then, it's time to talk about how to deal with the King of Yan."
Take out a drawing and spread it on the table, "At present, the firearms of your clan and Japan are far inferior to the King of Yan. Fighting head-on with the King of Yan will only deplete your strength, so it is best to maintain the status quo at the moment. Once we have equipped our British firearms, we will go north to attack the King of Yan."
Liang Kai, Xie Duan, Han Zheng and Wang Zi'an nodded one after another.
At this time, crossing Jiujiang to fight the King of Yan is simply a matter of continuing to die.
"But even so, we can't do anything." Wolf's eyes narrowed and pointed to a place. "Now, we need to make this place messy, and it's best to keep it in our hands."
The place he pointed to was Goryeo.
Governor Bolt authorized him to take actions that would benefit Britain according to strategic needs.
In the past few days, he received news through Japan that Beidi and the Kingdom of Ross have established close ties.
Moreover, the Kingdom of Ross was putting pressure on the Northern Di to demand that the Northern Di should not join the Eastern Turkish Alliance.
Because of this, there was no envoy of the Northern Di at this ceremony.
According to the Japanese, the Beidi people were a little unsteady and had to be prepared for both hands.
The Kingdom of Ross, the mortal enemy of Britain.
Their conflict spread from the Western Land to the Middle Land, and now it continues to the Eastern Land.
As the Empire of the Sun Never Setting, the most powerful country in the world, they would not allow the rise of Ross.
Now, the Kingdom of Ross has been involved in the affairs of the East through the Northern Di.
Therefore, how could he make the people of Ross satisfy their wishes? He must have to prevent Ross from taking advantage of the interests of the Eastern Turkish country.
So, after careful consideration, he landed the chess piece in Goryeo.
This Goryeo borders Beidi and Ningjindusi.
It belonged to the vassal state of Northern Di, but secretly had trade with the King of Yan.
Controlling Goryeo would be equivalent to cutting off the only overseas market of King Yan.
Jiangbei's development will inevitably suffer severe setbacks.
At the same time, the current intervention of the Roman Empire in Dongtu is not deep.
Taking the opportunity to control Goryeo can serve as a bridgehead to fight against the expansion of the Roman Kingdom in the East.
Another point is that if Beidi really decides to turn to the Kingdom of Ross, controlling Goryeo can also give Beidi a warning.
Let Northern Khan choose one of the Russ and Eastern Turkish alliances again.
It's like a kill of three birds with one stone.
Of course, there is another important point that he also took Japan into consideration when launching this plan.
He knew that the Japanese had always been eager to occupy Goryeo.
This plan will be fully supported by Japanese people.
After all, he can ensure the safety of Japan's maritime forces and ensure that the Japanese army can reach Goryeo smoothly.
Sure enough, Sato Masahiro's eyes suddenly lit up, and he said, "The General will support this plan. The Goryeo army is extremely weak and does not have many firearms at all. As long as the Japanese army can set foot on the land of Goryeo, it will be destroyed in three months."
The envoy of Sam's country spread his hands, and he just had to follow the alliance's plan and had no other opinions.
Liang Kai was happy to see the disaster invasion.
In this way, he can live a peaceful life and receive British firearms while training.
So he said: "We, Wu, are willing to provide the necessary help."
He promised to rule with King Yan, but their attack on Goryeo had nothing to do with King Yan.
Goryeo was nominally a vassal of Beidi and even hostile to the King of Yan, which was not considered a violation of his promise to the King of Yan.
