Just like when I came to Nanyang from the early Ming Dynasty, this meeting was in the Governor Pence's Manila's Little Governor's Manila.

The overall environment is still the same, but the decoration and decoration have become much better, which shows that Little Pence's overall situation has been good during this period.

Welcome, my friend! Little Pence is much more enthusiastic than the last time, so he went straight to the gate to greet me, instead of sitting in his back garden like last time, waiting for my arrival leisurely.

After all, at that time, I was just a leader of the Chamber of Commerce who was famous in the Ming Dynasty and had some power in the South China Sea. Now, I am the strong man on the sea who helped Britain defeat Spain in the West, and with his might, he pushed all the way from Africa to the Indian Ocean, and then to the South China Sea.

This world adheres to the laws of the jungle and the prey of the weak. In front of my strong ships and cannons, other empty heads and minds are all over the clouds, so he chose to cooperate with me and completely put down his posture.

We talked a lot, from the situation in the Western Ocean to the environment in the Indian Ocean, from the next step in the South Ocean to the attitude towards the Ming Dynasty.

Speaking of his attitude towards the Ming Dynasty, Pence Jr. was very ambiguous.

Admiral of the Expeditionary Fleet? When talking about his identity, Little Pence smiled deeply: When there is a money tree in front of you, will you hold it tightly or push it away from afar? Lord Duke.

Sure enough, as I thought, Little Pence is a wise and profit-oriented person. It is actually simple to deal with such a person, that is, as long as you are strong enough and as long as you can guarantee his interests, everything else is actually easy to discuss.

I held the black tea and took a sip: Fujian? I got the affirmative answer from Little Pence, and I smiled more casually: So you didn’t plan to attack the Ming Dynasty at all? Instead, you want to use this identity as a way to make money, right?

After saying that, I added: I can’t understand this way by referring to your cooperation with us!

Of course! Little Pence smiled lightly, but full of pride: not only is it correct, but it is also quite in place. The way to make money! That's it.

Why? I put down the teacup and leaned back comfortably. The rattan chair was of good quality. As my back squeezed, a gentle thrust was transmitted back, which made me feel a little happy.

Huamei was puzzled while listening and asked: Yes, although you are a Portuguese ethnic group, after all, if they fall completely, what good will it do to you?

Little Pence smiled and praised: Miss Li's wisdom is indeed as good as your beauty. Indeed, in Oriental terms, it is easy to enjoy the cool under a big tree, but if this is a tree that we do not move upwards at all, then this theory does not exist at the root.

Huamei and I nodded and listened to him continue.

My ancestors were once the royal family of Portugal. At its peak, they were once rich enough to rival a country. But later, the Spanish seized our sovereignty through dirty marriage methods, and from then on we could only survive in the cracks!

Little Pence's voice gradually became colder, as if he remembered his previous tragic experience: they exiled us to Nanyang, please forgive me for using the word banishment, but that's the case. When I first arrived, Manila didn't even have a decent road!

I couldn't help but laugh. It was quite interesting to watch the true feelings of this regional leader.

Later, we carried out a work like land reclamation here, and it was not until the navigation technology leap again and improved the efficiency of ocean trade that it slowly developed here.

He is right, what is the connection between Nanyang in the past?

I smiled bitterly and continued: Unfortunately, the Zhao family of the Song Dynasty was weak and incompetent, and was taken advantage of by the people of the grassland and captured the world. Although these grassland barbarians were brave in fighting, they were full of beef, which really damaged the national strength and power!

Pence Xiao agrees with my statement: In history, most people in the grassland have been refuted by disdainful attitudes. But I still don’t understand.

I spread my hands and said helplessly: In this dynasty, I once showed hope of revival, but in recent decades it has declined again! The reason is that China is vast and has a wide range of resources and is centralized and unified. The emperor and children lack the awareness of crisis and do not know how to work hard and be busy with internal struggle all day long!

Little Pence finally understood what I mean: So Qi Lan, do you want to take this opportunity to awaken the royal family of the Ming Dynasty in one fell swoop, give them the crisis of survival, and make them work hard?

I nodded and shook my head: This is the reason, but not exactly. No one can wake up people who pretend to be asleep! The only way is to make them feel pain! And fear from the bottom of their hearts may be able to cheer up and regain their prestige!

When Little Pence heard this, he bowed deeply to me: Most of the patriotism of others is polite. Qi Lan is patriotic, but it permeates the bones. I admire you!

He walked to the navigation chart and pointed to the direction of Japan and said: I heard that Japan's Japanese are attacking Goryeo, and the Ming Dynasty is actively mobilizing troops. Qi Lan, do you think this pressure is not enough?

I shook my head and sighed: Not enough! Not enough! The Japanese Fusang people are in a small area to fight in a small area. It is still a congenital deficit to compete with the Ming Dynasty for hegemony! That's why I hope you can attack the Ming Dynasty when necessary and fight hard! Beating them hurts! I have a more sufficient reason to convince them!

Little Pence looked at me for a long time, smacked her lips and nodded: I am absolutely willing to support you only with this sentiment! Qi Lan, as long as you send a letter to me, I, Little Pence, will be there for thousands of miles!

When I heard this, I felt a lot of emotion. I never regarded myself as a gentleman, but I stood very accurately and steadily in the face of major issues. I never thought that one day I would invite others to attack the Ming Dynasty!

Maybe my idea and starting point are good, but whether I can succeed depends on God’s will!

May everything be as I wish, and can use blood and fire to arouse the Ming Dynasty to strive for progress, stand on the top of the world again, and overcome the blood and tears that have suppressed the Chinese nation for hundreds of years in one fell swoop.

The weak and incompetent land of China began at the end of the Ming Dynasty. The reason was self-castration and spontaneously gave up the courage to explore the vast ocean, which led to the Chinese nation's regret of the Ming Dynasty's death for hundreds of years!

At this moment, only one poem lingers in my heart:

The spiritual platform has no way to escape the divine arrow, and the storm is like a dark home.
