Chapter 2025 Pay Tuition(2/3)
In this case, they have gained a strategic advantage.
It can be said that this is the power of time travellers.
To put it bluntly, illness, accidents, one's own will and ability to execute are the greatest enemies of the time traveler.
As long as there are no problems in these three aspects, if you want to rebel, the probability of success is not small.
Zhao Han and the three of them are not lacking at all.
The court was completely panicked.
He quickly dispatched a large army to the land south of the Yangtze River, including eight thousand cavalry.
Want to rely on cavalry to crush the opponent.
Unfortunately, the cavalry could not cross the river.
You must face the Jiangbei Fortress first.
The pirate fleet blocked the Yangtze River, and the court panicked.
The emperor then issued an order to revive Wang Ziteng.
However, Wang Ziteng said that he was seriously ill and could no longer lead the army.
The emperor personally sent people around Bashu, crossing the Longjiang River from the upper reaches, and all the way to Jinling, which had not yet fallen, to check on Wang Ziteng's illness.
But Wang Ziteng was sitting at home, surrounded by servants.
"My lord, you are deceiving me!" the eunuch said in shock.
"Deceiving the king, I will let you know now what it is to deceive the king!"
"The king treats his ministers like pigs and dogs, and his ministers regard him like an enemy bandit!"
With that said, he asked his servant to pour a bottle of poison into the mouth of the great eunuch!
The great eunuch struggled for a while and died as if by chance!
"This evil spirit has finally come to an end today!" After Jia Lian learned about this, he couldn't help but say something from the original work.
"Hmph, the emperor seems to be aloof, but he is actually so fragile. As long as someone pushes you, you will fall!" Wang Ziteng looked at the letter coming from outside.
This is about the pirate rebellion and siege of the capital.
This made him realize that the imperial court was actually very weak.
We can't deal with any pirates, so we can only let the pirates come and go as they please.
In the past, on land, we could rely on more troops to cope with it, but now we are at sea.
What matters at sea is the size of the ship, the number of cannons, the speed of the ship, and the quality of the sailors. It has nothing to do with the number of people.
Not long after, news came from the capital.
The queen died of illness...
Concubine Yuan was promoted to imperial concubine.
Okay, this time it was the queen's turn to die of an illness for no apparent reason.
When the Jia family heard the news, they were filled with joy.
However, Jia Baoyu knew that Concubine Yuan had been rescued from the harem by a group of men in black and was missing.
Actually I went to an island somewhere.
The palace is not that strict.
…………
Three months later.
Jiangbei Fortress.
To the north is an army of 50,000, said to be 200,000, densely packed.
But they soon discovered that this fortress was too difficult to conquer.
They used many powerful cannons to bombard the fortress.
However there was only some simple destruction.
Behind this fortress is Longjiang.
The pirate fleet controls the water and can supply supplies at any time.
If a fortress is constantly supplied, it can hold out for a long time.
Because it can not only replenish supplies, but also replenish soldiers.
That is, both sides compete to see whose finances go bankrupt first.
Obviously, the supply line is short, and the party that uses sea transportation for supplies has an advantage.
…………
At this moment, a red-haired merchant ship watched the battle between the two parties at the mouth of Longjiang River.
The cannon roared, and another attack failed.
The captain and first mate are all red-haired men.
After reading it with a telescope, the captain couldn't help but regretted: "It seems that this Eastern dynasty is going to end. Why can't we do this?"
The first mate said: "It's very simple, Kapitan, because we don't look like the locals."
"Is it that simple?" The captain couldn't believe it.
"Yes, it's as simple as that. Because they look different, we can't get them to obey us sincerely, and we won't treat them as the same kind. Everyone has different thoughts," the first mate said.
"Just because they look alike, they were able to conquer this Eastern dynasty? I still can't believe it's such a simple reason." The captain shook his head.
"The reason is actually as simple as that. If we don't look alike, we can't really integrate into these people. We are here to make money. If we look different from them, we lack a sense of belonging to their ethnic group and are unwilling to gain experience among them.
There is a sense of accomplishment, so we don’t think about leading them to gain honors.” The first mate is obviously a cultural person, very powerful, and he must also be a philosopher.
He's quite right.
Until the 21st century, a person's appearance still determines the stability of the ethnic group.
"Can you tell me more about it?" the captain asked curiously.
"Can, for example, the people of Rongyao Group treat the refugees and regard them as the basis of their rule? Will we do this?"
"No, we don't trust them, and we don't trust them sleeping together." The captain thought for a while and shook his head.
"This is the key. The distance is too far and there are too few of our own people. These are not excuses. The key is that they look different. We cannot regard them as our own."
"I understand, the people of Rongyao Company are the same as them, so the manpower of Dongfang Dynasty can be transformed into people of their company on the spot. This is the key." The captain finally understood.
"That's right. If we choose to convert these people into our own people, then if we work hard for so long, doesn't that mean we are working for them?" the first mate shook his head.
"Yes, we are here to make money, not to give them money. And these people from Rongyao Company are here to rule. Their main purpose is not to make money, but to gain power, glory, and this ethnic group.
reputation." The captain understood completely.
He also felt very sorry.
Because of what Rong Yao Company does, many of them have understood clearly over the years.
That was exactly their colonial strategy.
Introduce your own people, then develop the land and kill the indigenous people.
The only difference is that it is too difficult for them to bring in their own people.
"Yes, our colonies can only bring in a few thousand people at a time. Their colonies can have tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of people at a time. They expanded to a million people in two years. This is what we can achieve in decades.
." The first mate shook his head.
"This is the basis of their victory. With the same technology and the same approach, but with a larger population, they have gained the right to rule this huge Eastern dynasty. I am really not willing to accept it." The captain shook his head.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! The first mate smiled and said: "That's right, so when we come here, we can't just watch. Captain, which side do you think we should stand on?"
"We must be on the side of the imperial court. They don't understand business and can give us an opportunity to monopolize goods. The imperial court will not have commercial competition pressure from us. As for the Rongyao Colonial Company, they are a bigger company.
Colonial group," the captain said.
The first mate nodded: "Yes, we have to help the court to restrain the Rongyao Company. They have taken advantage of their own advantages and have taken away a lot of our places on the entire southern islands, just because they can bring more colonial populations.
many."
So the red-haired captain decided to go to Beijing.
They secretly bypassed the Rong Yao Company's fleet, arrived at the imperial court, and met with the Holy Emperor.
After bowing down and bowing, the emperor was overjoyed when he heard that they were willing to use the fleet to help the court gain maritime superiority.
Rong Yao Company is actually not that strong. The key is that the fleet is too powerful.
To build such a fleet, the imperial court would need more than five years to purchase ships.
And time waits for no one.
