Chapter 1564: Change or not
"Of course, the truth is revealed on the battlefield." Cao Yun nodded: "I am called the God of War by the world and defeated a famous general like Li Zhi and Cheng Wuben. Qin Feng, you have never been defeated since the rebellion. Soon after, one of the two of us will eventually become a stepping stone for the other."
"I believe this stepping stone must not be me." Qin Feng laughed.
"It is a good thing for young people to be confident, but if they are too confident, they are arrogant." Cao Yun sneered: "How many battles have you fought?"
"Some things require spirituality." Qin Feng said: "Just like the chef industry, some people cook rice for life, but the taste they make is still hard to swallow, and some people can make delicious food on earth just by dabbling a little."
"The light of spirit will only flash occasionally, but it is not a lasting way." Cao Yun looked at Qin Feng, "Okay, I don't want to argue with you anymore. In the future, the facts will talk on the battlefield. Qin Feng, I want to ask you now, you are discussing peace with me here, but your navy commander Ning Zeyuan just attacked Laizhou, captured my city of Laizhou, and then left after a big plunder. What's the reason?"
"No way?" Qin Feng laughed and said, "This must be a pirate."
Cao Yun's face flashed with anger: "After I return to Chang'an, I will also tell me the people of Daqi that the attack on Laizhou was indeed pirates, but here, when you and I meet each other, do you want to cover up your ears and steal the bell?"
"My Ming Navy's Fuyuan Sinks." Qin Feng curled his smile, "Someone must pay the price for this. Your Majesty, the treaty we signed is limited to land and sea, haha, that is the world of pirates."
"What do you mean is that the navy of your and my family will not cease to fight at sea?" Cao Yun tried hard to curb the anger in his heart and said word by word. "Since the Fuyuan can be sunk, it means that your Ming Navy is not invincible in the world."
"Your Majesty can continue to give it a try." Qin Feng smiled.
Cao Yun took a long breath and pondered for a moment, "Okay, very good, I just want to know if something like attacking Laizhou will happen again in the future?"
"My navy officers and soldiers will not step on the land of Qi State within the peace period." Qin Feng nodded and said, "Your Majesty, you should notice that the incident in Laizhou happened before you and I signed the peace treaty."
Cao Yun looked at Qin Feng: "I really didn't expect that a dignified monarch is so shameless. Since you said that, don't blame me for being cruel and ruthless. Your navy is indeed no match for now and we can't afford to provoke you, but the sea is vast, your Ming Dynasty's sea trade is booming, and countless merchant ships are walking on the sea. In the future, you don't be too surprised to hear these merchant ships being robbed and sunk by pirates."
"Of course I won't be surprised." Qin Feng spread his hands, "If you can do it, that's your ability. In the next days, you and me will quit the army, but at the sea, it's a big hunting ground. Whoever hunts whom can't be sure?"
The two monarchs made a few words to determine that in the next few years, there will inevitably be bloody storms on the sea, and countless people will die in the sea.
"Okay, since the matter is over, let's talk about some small things." Cao Yun tried hard to get his mood. He was at a disadvantage in the previous confrontation. His strength at sea was not as good as others. The other party was fearless. Even he felt that he had the heart but was not strong enough. In the battle of Laizhou, Ning Zeyuan first attacked Crab Bay Water City. The long-range strike on the huge five-layer warship could destroy the catapults on the Crab Mountain. The Water City was in a hurry for a while. Ding Shengming, the governor of Laizhou County, led the county soldiers to help. Unexpectedly, Ning Zeyuan's target was not here at all. After attracting Ding Shengming's main force to Crab Bay, his navy and marines landed by detour. He almost rushed into Laizhou County. After burning, killing and looting, the prosperous Laizhou County City became a hell on earth.
After attacking the city of Laizhou, they set up an ambush halfway and defeated Ding Xunming, who rushed back to the city to rescue. The soldiers of Laizhou were defeated and lost. Ding Xunming was so angry that he vomited blood on the spot. In this battle, he was mobilized by Ning Zeyuan to run around. When he really saw the enemy, failure came.
This battle further strengthened Cao Yun's idea of developing a navy. Without a navy, the sea border of Daqi would be full of holes, and Laizhou was a ready-made example.
The previous confrontation made him almost unable to control his mind, but he was absolutely sure to gain the upper hand in what happened next.
"I wonder if Your Majesty wants to talk to me about those small things?" Qin Feng asked with a smile.
"Your Majesty is a good method. He was planning to attack our Great Qi ten years ago. Such an elusive strategy is amazing, but human calculations are not as good as God's calculations. You have failed." Cao Yun smiled on his face, looked at Tuobayan behind him, and then looked at Qin Feng.
Qin Feng nodded: "That's true, any exquisite design cannot withstand the scrutiny of time. When we set this thing, we ignored human nature, human heart, and this thing. There was nothing to say, so we gave in."
When Qin Feng was so bachelor, Cao Yun felt embarrassed to show off again and said directly: "Da Qi captured a total of 185 spy detectives in the Ming Dynasty in this incident. Now he is locked in my Da Qi military camp under the Lotus Peak."
"Only one hundred and eighty-five people?" Qin Feng frowned.
"It's a pity that the rest were killed because of resisting arrest. Of course, some people ran away, but not many should have run away." Cao Yun said.
Qin Feng thought for a while and said, "Is these people your Majesty want to talk to me?"
"I am going to sell them to Your Majesty, but I don't know if you can afford the price?" Cao Yun looked at Qin Feng's unsightly face with a smile. He was very happy to be able to win back the city.
"I wonder how much you are bidding?" Qin Feng asked calmly.
Cao Yun looked up at the hall where he was and said, "My general Guo Xiancheng, who is very envious of the Ming Dynasty's ability to build such a majestic palace in such a short time. He hopes that Daqi can do this too. I will use these 185 people to buy the Ming Dynasty's skills?"
Qin Feng laughed and said, "It turns out that what Your Majesty wants is the formula for making cement in Ming Dynasty and how to build steel and cement structures?"
"That's right, I think this price is very suitable." Cao Yun said. "Your Majesty, these people are all loyal to you, the Ming Dynasty. After being arrested, they suffered a lot and suffered a lot. But I just refused to surrender to my Daqi, which made me very regretful. Oh, the one with the highest position is Murong Hai, who is also a barbarian. Cao really admires the fact that he can make a barbarian so loyal to the Ming Dynasty!"
"There are many ways to make people come home." Qin Feng glanced at the Tuobayan behind Cao Yun with some angrily, "This is the essence of my invincible battle in the Ming Dynasty. In this world, loyal and righteous people still account for the vast majority. What you want, I will give you a small cement formula and some simple construction techniques to exchange for the lives of my loyal subjects of the Ming Dynasty. I think it is worth it. Haha, Your Majesty, you have a low price, but now you don't have time to regret it."
Cao Yun narrowed his eyes, "People are self-aware. In fact, what I want most is your steel and iron smelting technology. But after thinking about it, I feel that these people are probably not worth the price. After the lion spoke, it is very likely that they will not get anything, so it will be worth the loss. After all, these 185 people are useless to me, Daqi. Raising them will cost food. It is better to exchange for something real."
"You want the process of smelting steel and iron, the price is really low." Qin Feng smiled, but his eyes were like a knife, "But with a little bit, I really could sell this thing to you. Because since these crafts have appeared and have been researched again, it is not a rare thing. Daqi has many people, and there are more skilled craftsmen than I am in the Ming Dynasty. It is only a matter of time to study it. So, if the price is solid, it is not impossible to take action while he is still worth a lot of money."
"Are you so generous?" Cao Yun shook his head and didn't believe it.
"Nothing is impossible. Your Majesty, you may not know that even if you get the iron and steel smelting technology of my Ming Dynasty, it is impossible to smelter the same quality as my Ming Dynasty in a short time. In less than two or three years, do you think you can do it?" Qin Feng laughed. "So I am not in a hurry. Maybe in just two or three years, I Ming Dynasty has created something better, one step ahead, and one step ahead, you should know the truth."
Cao Yun thought about Yang and nodded: "It makes sense, but I am very curious. What price are you going to ask for before you can sell these crafts to me?"
"It's very simple!" Qin Feng laughed and said, "The lives of one hundred and eighty-five people, plus the head of the person behind you, I will immediately order people to present the Ming Dynasty's complete set of iron and steel smelting skills with both hands. My Ming Dynasty's Minister of Works is now in the camp at the foot of the mountain. Do you want me to call him up to confirm?"
Cao Yun looked at the Tuobayan pointed at Qin Feng's finger halberd. At this moment, Tuobayan's face was pale. Everyone knew that the Ming Dynasty was leading the arts in military use because they were leading the craftsmanship of other countries in iron and steel making. The Ming Dynasty's weapon system was built on this basis, and others could not imitate it because this skill was not up to standard. If Qi really mastered this technology, at least he would not suffer any loss when facing the Ming Dynasty on the weapon.
Cao Yunling was stunned for a moment, and a burst of laughter broke out: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I said you are shameless before, and you are really not wrong. You really don't miss any opportunity. Such temptation is really irresistible!"
"Is Your Majesty willing to change?" Qin Feng asked with a smile.
