Chapter 1300: Balance, Negotiations, and Family Separation

The Ming Navy has developed to this day, and has more than 30 main warships from the three-layered layers, including the latest Ming warships made by the Daming Baoqing Shipyard and the Huludao Shipyard, as well as the own warships from the Ning family and Zhou family, which are divided into three fleets. Zhou Li, He Ying and Zhou Baozhen each lead a fleet, and Ning Zeyuan, the Chief of the Maritime Administration, planned the overall work of the Maritime Administration from the overall perspective. The current Maritime Administration can be said to have become an extremely huge institution, with three shipyards and several repair shipyards below, monopolizing all maritime trade business overseas, dozens of warships, and tens of thousands of soldiers. Overseas, this is a force that is enough to destroy the country.

After the incident in Manila came to an end, Qin Feng would no longer put any effort into the navy, but would put all his strength on the continent and prepare for the final unification of the world and fighting for hegemony with Qi. At this time, the navy could only become a part of this big plan and make his own contribution to this big plan.

The current navy is not only powerful, but also a treasure pot. Qin Feng basically used all the wealth obtained by the navy itself to re-invest it into the navy, which also led to the explosive and violent development of the navy over the years. Now it has finally reached a critical point. The navy needs to create more wealth and invest in this battle that is destined to be protracted.

With the overseas trade route, endless wealth will be created to make up for the lack of financial resources of the Ming Dynasty. This is also what Qin Feng values ​​the most. As for the navy's harassment of the Daqi seas, Qin Feng did not care much about it. After all, harassment can only make people bother and not shake its roots. The focus of the Ming Qi battle for hegemony is still on the decisive battle on land.

Ning Zeyuan understood this point, and all the navy generals were also very clear. In fact, the navy was far beyond their expectations in just a few years of development to its current scale, which made them very satisfied. This overseas expedition also allowed these navy generals to see their shortcomings.

The explosive growth has brought about superficial prosperity, and the weaknesses of insufficient foundation have been exposed. It can be said that if the Ming Dynasty warships were not ahead of the opponent by an era and the force strike system equipped on the warships was unheard of by the enemy, this naval battle, in terms of battlefield skills and skills, it is still unknown who wins and loses.

After all, Manila is still a small place. The mysterious countries in the West are the opponents that Ming Dynasty is most likely to encounter on the sea in the future. The current Ming navy is not eager to expand, but wants to have a deeper foundation. Practicing internal skills is the top priority.

After the Ming Dynasty unified the world, then it was the time for the Ming Navy to show its strength.

"How about Chalan?" Qin Feng asked.

"It's just a man." Ning Zeyuan said: "Otherwise, when Old Wang of Manila was in a mess, he wouldn't have been defeated by his brother and exiled to the poorest place in Manila. If he hadn't been lucky enough to happen to meet Luo Yishui, Chen Ci and others who had been struggling there after a fight with the pirates, now he could only be a local emperor in that poor place."

Qin Feng nodded thoughtfully: "In other words, Manila's internal affairs, diplomacy, military power is now all controlled by Luo Yishui, Chen Ci's hands?"

"Yes. Luo Yishui is really an amazing person. Although he is just an outsider to Manila, he has integrated into the local area quickly at an unimaginable speed. He married the daughter of the most prestigious person in Manila as his wife, thus gaining great support. He implemented reforms on the poor territory of the former Chalan and turned that place into a very rich area of ​​Manila today. It can be said that on that land, everyone only knows Luo Yishui but not Chalan." Ning Ze walked afar.

"Does Luo Yishui have the intention to take Chalan and replace him?" Qin Feng asked.

"I'm afraid not!" Ning Zeyuan said: "Old Nilan is a very prestigious king in Manila. Although he died, he still has the power to die. After his failure, Kanu could still contact several island countries to become his help. I'm afraid it was not his own ability but Yu Ze when he was alive. At least, before Old Nilan's prestige disappeared and before Old Nilan was completely forgotten, Luo Yishui would not take such risks. Manila could accept him as the chief minister and the general, but would not accept him as the king."

"This time Luo Yishui brought Chalan to the Ming Dynasty. What is the real meaning?" Qin Feng asked.

"Luo Yishui probably wanted to scare Chalan. Chalan did not understand the Ming Dynasty's policy towards Manila, nor did he know the true relationship with Luo Yishui. Under Luo Yishui and misleading, he believed that we were staunch supporters of Luo Yishui. From Huludao and Baoqing Port all the way, in my opinion, Chalan was really a little scared. Obviously, the vast territory of the Ming Dynasty was beyond his expectations, and the sharpness of our military armor and the wealth of the people also shocked him. So on the way, he deliberately avoided Luo Yishui and expressed another meaning to me."

"Oh, what does it mean?"

"Chalan wants to marry a princess from the Ming Dynasty. He wants to become the princess of the Ming Dynasty!" Ning Zeyuan said with a smile.

"Fart!" Qin Feng was furious, "How old is Xiao Wen? He dared to have such a bad idea. I twisted his head and used it as a chamber pot! Even if Xiao Wen is at the age of marriage, I will not let her marry overseas."

In a blink of an eye, Qin Feng transformed into a female-protecting mad demon, his evil spirit was revealed, and his aura instantly became a little violent from approachable.

"Your Majesty misunderstood!" Ning Zeyuan quickly explained: "Chalan did not mean to covet Princess Wen. In fact, he didn't even know how old His Majesty was. He always thought that the emperor who ruled such an empire must be an extremely wise king."

Zhou Li and He Ying coughed at the same time behind Ning Zeyuan. Ning Zeyuan's words were ambiguity, as if they were saying that Qin Feng was very young and was not considered a wise master.

Ning Zeyuan also understood in an instant, and the cold air burst out from his vest, and he lowered his head and dared not speak anymore.

Fortunately, Qin Feng did not notice the meaning of this sentence. After hearing Ning Zeyuan's words, he suddenly realized and said, "So that's it, it's not his fault. Turn around and tell him, don't make this idea."

"Your Majesty, I think it is not impossible to consider to recruit Chalan as the son-in-law of the Ming Dynasty. As for the candidate, it is actually easy to say. Your Majesty only needs to choose a woman with both talent and beauty as her adopted daughter. Oh, it's okay to be a sister, and be awarded the title of princess. Then this problem can be solved." He Ying stood up and bowed. "What Mo General saw and heard in Manila, Luo Yishui and Chen Ci were too strong. In Manila, the internal affairs, diplomacy and military are all in the hands of these two people, and these two people are all talented and strategic. Compared with these two people, Chalan is too weak. Therefore, I think that appropriate support to Chalan can make it possible for Luo Yishui and Chen Ci to reach a certain degree of balance in some aspects, which is conducive to the existence of our Ming Dynasty in Manila."

"Your Majesty, I agree with what General He said. After all, the national policy of our Ming Dynasty for the country in Manila is not to occupy and rule, but military existence and cultural infiltration. The Prime Minister had talked to me about this matter before he set out last year. The Prime Minister even placed cultural infiltration and cultural assimilation before military existence, and believed that military existence was only to protect the assimilation of civilization. So a princess in the Ming Dynasty was actually an excellent choice to marry into Manila. The princess can use her identity to do many things. Manila is one of the most powerful countries in that sea area, and it is also the weather vane of all island countries in this sea area. Their behavior will drive other island countries to take the hearts of our country to the culture."

Qin Feng was moved by the two of them. Whether it was Luo Yishui or Chen Ci, they were all those with great skills, not those who could be controlled casually. Otherwise, the two of them would not have been willing to sail to sea to make a new world after failure than to kneel in front of them.

Now, I think the two of them will not change their minds.

"Let me discuss this matter with all the lords of the Political Affairs Hall before deciding!" Qin Feng nodded. "If all the lords of the Political Affairs Hall agree with this matter, let's discuss the candidate issue again."

"Your Majesty is wise!" Ning Ze walked far away.

"There is another thing that the Political Affairs Hall has begun to discuss. It will be officially finalized after you come back to solicit your opinions. That is the institutional setting of the Maritime Agency. In the past, because the circumstances were special, the Maritime Agency arrested all the maritime agencies. Now the scale of the Maritime Agency is getting bigger and bigger, which is no longer in line with the current actual situation. Therefore, the Political Affairs Hall proposes to divide the Maritime Agency into two, divide the military into the Ministry of War, and the economy into the Commercial Bureau of the Ministry of Revenue. What do you think?"

Ning Zeyuan did not hesitate at all, "I obey your Majesty's arrangements."

"Okay, that's what I think. You still command the entire navy, as the left assistant minister of the Ministry of War and the director of the Navy Department. As for the sea trade, I will leave it to Wang Yueyao to take care of it. Are you still satisfied?" Qin Feng said with a smile.

"I have no objection!" Ning Ze walked far away.

"Okay, don't look at the lack of the sea trade, you think you will be much more relaxed. In fact, your task will be more heavy. The navy needs to strengthen training. You still have to take care of the matter in Manila. Now that Bozhou has already started, our main means of participating is the navy. The matter is even more complicated. In addition, the comment you posted earlier, to establish a navy Marine Corps, you can also try it. The meaning of the Political Affairs Hall and the Ministry of War is to try it first. There is no need to be too many people, and the organization of three thousand people is to be organized! What do you think?"
