In Changyang, Baoquan Port, Qin Feng sat in the cabin of the huge fifth-story battleship, the Ming Dynasty, listening to Guo Jiuling's words and deeds about Cao Yun, the prince of Qi, after entering the Ming Dynasty.

This time, not only Qin Feng arrived at Baoquan Port in Changyang, but also the queen Min Ruoxi, prince Qin Wu, and princess Qin Wen also followed him here. This time, Qin Feng came here, but he had two tasks. The first one was of course to send a wedding to Princess Dayi. The second task was to inspect the navy fleet of the Ming Dynasty.

The Fang family spent a lot of money on marrying their daughter this time. Not to mention the generous dowry, just a thousand accompanying guards spent a lot of money. These people were all retired Ming soldiers recruited by the Fang family. These people were either alone or had many brothers in the family. This time, they followed the Fang girl to Manila, naturally wanted to have a better future. The opening and settlement fees for these people were all taken out by the Fang family. The court only sent several officers and re-equipped the latest Ming weapons for these people.

In addition to these troops who were supposed to be the princess' guards, there were also several civil servants who were nominally the princess' retainers, but in fact they were all regular officials of the Ming Dynasty's Ministry of Personnel.

The Ming Dynasty not only had to have a military port in Manila, but also had to cut another nail on the land to ensure the Ming Dynasty's absolute influence and control over Manila.

Mastering Manila is equivalent to controlling that sea area, and controlling that sea area, you will master the gate to the West. Whether the gate is open or closed can be explained by the Ming Dynasty.

The Ming Dynasty today cannot draw more power to manage this sea area, let alone march towards the deeper sea farther away. It can only adopt the method of perseverance to maintain the form there. When the situation on the mainland is clear, it will naturally have the energy to withdraw from it and look further away.

"Your Majesty, since Cao Yun entered the country, all arrangements have been carried out according to His Majesty's wishes. Judging from the current situation, the effect is very obvious. Cao Yun was deeply moved and had a clearer understanding of the power and determination we have. I believe that he will definitely think that even if Qi is doing his best, he may not be able to beat us, let alone they are still worried now!" Guo Jiuling said with a smile.

"How is Chen Ye's behavior?" Qin Feng asked with a smile.

"Chen Ye's performance is very outstanding." Guo Jiuling laughed: "This guy is worthy of being a traitor and slick businessman. When acting, it is so realistic. Cao Yun was shocked very much. Judging from the report written by Chen Ye, Cao Yun was afraid that his heart had begun to shake."

Qin Feng laughed: "Old Guo, what would their emperor think if Cao Yun suddenly persuaded the emperor to change his course after he went back to the Ming Dynasty and started negotiations with the wealthy families?"

"With Cao Tiancheng's character, I'm afraid I would doubt whether Cao Yun had reached any agreement with the wealthy families in Qi State and had any conspiracy. Otherwise, why would he make such suggestions at the critical moment of victory?" Guo Jiuling smiled extremely sinisterly.

"This is the effect you want!" Qin Feng clapped his hands and smiled: "Cao Yun, his military achievements are indeed a bit scared. To be honest, if I face him, I would have no chance of winning. Although he was hidden by Emperor Qi, who knows when the salt duck turned over again and can slap him deeper into the mud, I will never sting to start."

"There are also arrangements in Bozhou." Guo Jiuling smiled and said, "The ghost shadows of Qi State will discover through all kinds of clues that the wealthy families of Qi State did have contact with Cao Yun in my Ming Dynasty. In fact, we also really arranged for Zhou Shuguang's people to meet Cao Yun."

"Yeah, let's take the lead to make Emperor Qi's suspicion of Cao Yun deeper. If he can kill Cao Yun, then we will be happy." Qin Fengdao." For people like him, we can only kill him on the battlefield, but we cannot kill him in such an occasion. To be honest, when I see him shaking in front of me, I can't help but want to kill him!"

"People like Cao Yun are destined to not live long!" Guo Jiuling sneered, "Li Zhi never thought that he would end like this, so was Cheng Wuben. Although he died a pity, their death would be beneficial to me, Daming."

"Mr. Xiao must have arrived in Wuling County at this time, right? I heard from Mr. Xiao that he had talked about studying in Chang'an back then, and Cao Yun is still half of his disciple. He is so old and he is still tired of traveling around. Thank you so hard." Qin Feng said.

"It should be done." Guo Jiuling said: "Old Master Xiao is now an old horse, with ambitions and a living more energetic than me. After receiving His Majesty's order, he went there with great enthusiasm, and said that he would go by the way to check the school situation in Wuling and other counties. The old man is thinking about this matter now, and most of the affairs of the Ministry of Rites are handed over to his deputy."

"Old Master Xiao will definitely keep his wealth forever. To be honest, without his reputation, how could so many scholars be willing to put down their airs and go to villages and towns to be teachers? How could so many rich people be willing to donate money to run schools? The old man's reputation is really not a big deal. Sometimes it is more effective than what I, the emperor, say. Look, it turns out that a person like Cao Yun is considered half of his disciples, but he is really full of talents."

"But this time Mr. Xiao wants to bring his disciples into the pit." Guo Jiuling laughed: "I didn't say this thoroughly, but with Mr. Xiao's aura of aura, I guess one or two or three can be seen."

"Don't worry, Mr. Xiao is the Minister of Rites of the Ming Dynasty. He can still tell the difference between right and wrong." Qin Feng said with a smile.

"Your Majesty, that's the minister. I'm going to rush to Wuling and stare at this matter in person. Cao Yun is not an ordinary person, so he can't see the mechanism here. According to Chen Ye's report, Cao Yun had indeed become suspicious for a while."

"Well, go, if you can do this, you will be better than our army!" Qin Feng nodded solemnly: "Thinking about people like Min Ruoying, Luo Liang, and Cheng Wuben, who were all plotted against Cao Yun in the battle of Chu Qi, my backbone became a little cold!"

"I'm leaving!" Guo Jiuling stood up and bowed and exited the cabin.

Qin Feng walked to the window and pushed open it. A slightly fishy sea breeze blew over his face. The waves were rising and falling. The fishing boats in the distance rose and fell with the waves, while the warships under his feet remained motionless. This giant is the highest embodiment of the Ming Dynasty's shipbuilding skills. Not only is it expensive, but its attack power is unparalleled.

Since he returned to the port, a group of people led by Xu Lai have started to transform him. This time, the main transformation was his power system. Before that, Xu Lai and a large group of people had conducted several experiments on the model ship, and the results were satisfactory. As soon as the Ming Dynasty entered the port, Xu Lai began a tense transformation.

Although the current Daming ship is mainly driven by manpower and sails, such a huge sea giant, even without wind, only one hundred sailors can make it sail at an extremely fast speed. The bearings made by the Ming Dynasty have turned into many theoretical designs of Xu Lai into real-life poles. In the bottom cabin, under the iron plates, under the cover of iron plates are extremely complex bearings and gear mechanisms. A sailor can drive the huge oars and roller plates that protrude out of the cabin without much effort. If the sails are hung, the speed of the huge Daming is even faster than that of the third-layer warship.

Qin Feng was very satisfied.

Xu Lai was a big surprise. Xu Lai's arrival improved the Ming weapon manufacturing a whole step. The upgrade of the Thunderbolt Fire has reached the final experimental stage. The attacking car is now faster and stronger. The fire rate of the crossbow machine is still increasing, but its stability is greatly improved. It can be said that Xu Lai alone made the Ming weapon research and development take a big step forward.

"The couple are all talents!" Qin Feng sighed in great emotion.

Needless to say, Xu Lai is Xu Lai's wife, Shu Chang's junior sister Shu Wan, invented medical methods such as blood identification and blood transfusion, which can kill many fewer Ming soldiers!

Next, all the Ming Dynasty warships will be rotated into the repair factory for transformation. In this way, the Ming Dynasty's navy will have more combat personnel, save more sailors, and have more personnel, and can equip more ships. Cultivating a qualified sailor who can sail on the sea can be much more difficult than cultivating an army soldier. This time in the battle in Manila, Ning Zeyuan's feedback on the situation fully demonstrates the shortcomings of the Ming Dynasty's sailors in the battle. If the Ming Dynasty had not defeated the opponent in the warships and soldiers' equipment, the outcome of this battle would be hard to say. Xu Lai's transformation would have allowed the Ming Dynasty to have more qualified sailors.

The happy laughter of Xiao Wen and Xiaowu came from outside the window. This was the first time that the two little guys left Yuejing City, came to the beach, and it was also the first time that they boarded such a huge warship. They were like two lively deer, and they could not stop. The sound of footsteps, crisp laughter, and Min Ruoxi's careful warning kept coming into Qin Feng's ears.

He couldn't help laughing, pushed open the hatch door, and walked out.

Min Ruoxi was taking Xiao Wen and Xiaowu to play on the front deck. Qin Feng was about to walk over, but footsteps came from behind him. Turning his head, Ning Zeyuan walked a big walk.

"Your Majesty, all fleets have already been in place. The Ming Dynasty can set off." Ning Zeyuan bowed and said.

"Okay, set sail!" Qin Feng waved his hand and walked towards the deck ahead.
