"Is there any trouble?" Qin Feng lit Manila on the map and asked Ning Zeyuan who was standing on the side.

After sending Chen Ci away, Qin Feng summoned Ning Zeyuan again

"It's very confusing!" Ning Zeyuan

"The situation there is very complicated." Qin Feng frowned, "It is easy to cause trouble and fall into the quagmire. Now we are just using it as a place to make money. Within at least ten years, our main goal is to be on the mainland, and maybe it will be longer and impossible to distract ourselves from operating here."

"Your Majesty, it is precisely because this place is too complicated that we can use the smallest power to move the form here, so that we can occupy the active force here." Ning Zeyuan is obviously more familiar with the forms between the numerous island countries in that area of ​​the sea. He used to think that he had nowhere to talk, but once he attacked someone, it would easily cause public outrage and be beaten up. Now he has a very open reason to intervene, which made him very excited, and his face turned a little abnormal and flushed.

"Manila occupied the important part of the throat and strangled the important roads of sea trade in the East and West. It is the richest country in this sea area and the most powerful country. Old Niran is a hero. He has the ability to unite all the island countries in this sea area into one rope, but his sons cannot, and other kings in this island country cannot do it. This sea area, from the moment Old Niran died, has entered an era of heroes competing for hegemony. However, Old Niran's remaining power is still there, so it is just a surging undercurrent. Chalan's rebellion has completely tore open the last layer of fig leaf. Now many forces are making their own ideas here, including more distant Western countries." Ning Zeyuan said

"So, it's very messy now," Qin Feng said, touching his chin and said

"It's quite chaotic and his chaotic is beneficial to us," Ning Zeyuan said with a smile. "As long as your majesty leads you, I will lead the fleet to capture the important port of Manila with lightning speed. With Luo Yishui, Chen Ci and others respond, maybe it will take less than three months to turn Manila into an overseas county in the Ming Dynasty."

"Luo Yishui said that they can become a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty!" Qin Feng smiled and said to Ning Zeyuan.

Ning Zeyuan was stunned, "They actually wanted to be independent? Without the help of the Ming Dynasty, I was afraid that they would not be able to stand there. Although they seemed to have an advantage now, they did not have the energy to take down the ports between the east and west. Manila's lifeline was still in the hands of Kanu. After a long time, they would be unable to hold on."

"So I came to the Ming Dynasty to move him with emotion and reason." Qin Feng laughed, "As we walked over, I guess Chen Ci had already seen the strength of our Ming Navy?"

Ning Zeyuan felt a little ashamed. "He is the father of General Chen Zhihua, so I treated him as my own person and really didn't guard against him. He has been to Huludao or Baoqing Taiping Shipyard. He knows the strength of our navy now, but he doesn't know that our navy is also equipped with a Marine Corps."

"Since you have something to do, let's do it." Qin Feng turned around the house for a few times and looked at Ning Zeyuan: "But this matter is just the Political Affairs Hall. Your Maritime Affairs Department will handle it alone. My request is to kill with one blow as fast as possible. Before those countries can react, they will defeat Kanu, and then attack Luo Yishui on both sides and completely take Manila."

"But Your Majesty, Luo Yishui and the others are unwilling to submit to my Ming Dynasty!" Ning Zeyuan was a little unhappy, "Since it, why should I help them?"

"If Luo Yishui was willing to surrender to me, many years ago, he would not have taken Chen Ci and the others away. He would rather die than surrender to me. So there is no need to mention that we don't have more energy to run Manila now, so it would be good to have a regime that is kind to me and the Ming Dynasty."

"That's all?" Ning Zeyuan was a little surprised

"Of course it is not the bargaining with Chen Ci next. I need to have a military port in Manila. This is our lowest condition. We need this military port to ensure that our Ming Dynasty merchants can trade safely in this sea area."

Ning Zeyuan's eyes shrank slightly: "Your Majesty is preparing to start a large-scale maritime trade?"

Qin Feng smiled: "Some of the merchants in the Ming Dynasty are already quite rich now, so let's find another way of wealth for them."

"The Maritime Affairs Department will lose this monopoly business!" Ning Zeyuan was a little unhappy, "Now the court does not allocate money to the Maritime Affairs Department, all expenses of the Maritime Affairs Department rely on monopoly maritime trade transactions."

"A large number of merchants joining will make goods more diverse and increase the export volume of goods. We can collect taxes. These taxes are collected by your Maritime Department. The income tax is still subject to your Maritime Department. If you want to go to sea, Ming merchants must have sea ships. Then our two shipyards will have more sea ship orders. It is too wasteful to make them build warships. Now our sailors can no longer keep up with the speed of sailor training?"

Ning Zeyuan nodded slightly

"Now we have twelve Taiping-class warships, which are basically invincible in this sea area. In the future, only three to four ships will be added every year. In this way, you can save a lot of money to build ships to train more sailors and marines, and civilian merchant ships can also train sailors for us for free. If you need it, a conscript order can bring these people under your jurisdiction. More importantly, the energy of merchants is infinite. The profit-seeking nature will allow them to advance further into this sea area and they are pathfinders."

"The West has a very powerful force." Ning Zeyuan's face changed slightly

"Because of the future, we know nothing about it. You have told me before that they once formed hundreds of warships and attacked them. They failed and returned over the years. They also explained from another perspective how powerful they are. But with the first time, there will be a second time. To find out their reality in advance, we will know ourselves and our enemy. The appearance of merchant ships is always milder than the appearance of warships. Manila will have a waterway to the west, merchants and ways to contact them."

"Your Majesty, I understand." Ning Zeyuan nodded vigorously: "Help Luo Yishui and others take Manila, no matter what their attitude towards the Ming Dynasty in the future, we need to steadily guard which military port is, and then based on this military port, develop our power in this sea area. These are obviously not possible by relying on the army alone. Therefore, more Ming merchants who set foot on this land will give us more people and can connect more forces for us to use. The military port can demonstrate our military strength. The merchants will let him have economic strength and work together to build this sea area into the first barrier and defensive chain of our Ming sea area. Then, based on this, we will advance to the west in an orderly manner. After Your Majesty unifies the world, we will have the energy to move westward and penetrate the Ming flag into the places where the sun can shine."

Qin Feng laughed: "This, I really never thought that the world is big. No matter how powerful the Ming Dynasty is, it is impossible to conquer them all. Moreover, even if it is conquered, how can it be managed? This continent is different, because a thousand years ago, this continent was originally a unified country, with the same culture and species, so long-term division will lead to unity, and there will be a foundation for the unification of the world. Overseas, it will be different."

"Have your Majesty not become the king of the world?" Ning Zeyuan opened his eyes widened

"Being the king of the world does not necessarily have to conquer with swords." Qin Feng patted Ning Zeyuan's shoulders, "Sometimes, there can be money. Sometimes, it can be cultured thousands of years ago. The Tang Dynasty fleet crossed the world and captured countless territories. The Tang Dynasty's flag arrived, ghosts and gods were shaking. But after a thousand years, 90% of the people on our continent didn't even know what was overseas. So what was hit by swords may not be long-term. You can think about force carefully. It can be a deterrent sometimes without being out, but it can play a greater role."

Ning Zeyuan was silent. This question was too big. He probably would have a hard time figuring out the joints in it for a while.

Seeing Ning Zeyuan's appearance, Qin Feng laughed again: "Now we, the king and the minister, are whimsical about this. If Cao Tiancheng knows, they will definitely smile at each other. It is still a very distant thing for us. If we don't unify the world, we will not have the energy to manage things further away. Now we go to Manila to get some money. We can make some small arrangements for the future. If we win, this is planning. If we lose, haha, what's the use?"

"Of course we will win!" Ning Zeyuan waved his fist hard, "I went to argue with Chen Ci. His two sons were both responsible for important positions under our Ming Dynasty. I think we should be very close to our Ming Dynasty."

"Don't confuse the two!" Qin Feng shook his head: "Chen Ci is not only a general, but also a qualified politician, but also an extremely cunning person. Otherwise, he could have deceived Emperor Yue in Yue for so many years in Yue Kingdom? Family affection is family affection, politics is politics. Will we still be unfavorable to Chen Zhihua and Chen Jinhua brothers because of his tough attitude?"

"Of course not!" Ning Zeyuan said unawarely, "No, either."

"So, when negotiating with someone like Chen Ci, there is no need to talk about family affection. You just need to talk to him directly about the interests, what we give, and what we need to get. Family affection and friendship are only suitable for talking at the celebration banquet where negotiations are successful."

"Yes, Your Majesty said this, I have already had a scheming in my heart. Now that we have the initiative, we can naturally speak loudly and wait for him to pay back the money on the spot. I wonder which place His Majesty is interested in?"

Qin Feng smiled and pointed to a place on the map
