Manning Port is the largest port in Pattaya, only a few dozen miles away from Pattaya City. It is a port for both military and civilians. For an island country, the port naturally becomes the most prosperous place.

Unlike the Port of Manila that has long been completely constructed of steel and cement, Manila is still built mainly of stone and wood. This was mainly when the Ming Dynasty began to manage this sea area and assisted Luo Yishui and Chen Ci and others in Manila to overthrow Kanu, while Pattaya protected Kanu, the Ming Dynasty adopted a blockade policy against Pattaya.

Of course, the scale of private smuggling by merchants later expanded, and it is hard to say that it is not clear that it has a tacit consent. Because Pattaya's existence had a significant role in checking and balancing Manila in the Ming Dynasty. If it was blocked in a comprehensive manner, Pattaya would inevitably collapse above the economy, and a country with an economic collapse would not be able to play its role.

So over the years, Pattaya seems to have been harassed by Ming Dynasty everywhere, but its economy has not been affected much, and it still enjoys the dividends he deserves from the large-scale maritime trade of Ming Dynasty.

But there is one thing that cannot be changed. That is, you can get silk, porcelain, and even food and other daily necessities, but strategic materials cannot be bought no matter how much money you have.

Cement, steel, and these things Pattaya urgently need, they can't get either.

Therefore, Manning Port looks very shabby, not only cannot be compared with Mani Port, but also cannot be compared with Yangang, the base camp of Ming people.

Over the past year, Pattaya has finally made some changes because they have successfully linked up with the Qi people, and the formula for firing cement has also been passed from the Qi people to Pattaya.

However, there are too many historical debts. Even if Pattaya has a cement manufacturing plant, it is still impossible to change the appearance of Manning Port in a short period of time. The only change is to build a cement road from Pattaya City to Manning Port.

As for steel, it is still out of reach. Even if the Qi people are willing to teach them the technology of iron smelting and steelmaking, there is no iron ore here, so it will be fine.

The king of Mantiya, Jomba, was not a cowardly, incompetent and stupid person. He knew the Ming people's plans clearly, but this made him even more angry. The Ming people used Manila to control this sea area and benefited the people of Manila, but the Ming people used Pattaya to check and balance Manila, but Pattaya got nothing.

He had to change this situation, make a fight, or could change all of this. He was unwilling to let Pattaya's fate be controlled by the distant Ming people. At this point, Kanu, who fled to Pattaya, had the same philosophy as him.

Today, the Port of Manning is empty. The originally busy and crowded port has only a few small boats parked sparsely, and no fishing boats can be seen on the sea surface, because almost all the ships that can float on the water in Pattaya were forcibly requisitioned. This is a war related to Pattaya's national destiny. If you win, or have a chance or lose, then everything will be over.

Of course, Pattaya is the second largest country in this sea area. In addition to its maritime power, its land military power is not bad. It maintains a standing army of 30,000 people all year round. This is already a very powerful force for an island country. If it is not a wise man, it is only second only to Manila.

However, for Pattaya, if it loses the lifeline on the sea, the power on land alone will not be able to compete with the Ming people. The King of Pattaya is very clear about this. Lei Wei taught him a lesson clearly. This Ming people's hawk, just led a group of Ming soldiers and caravan guards, almost upset Pattaya. In the end, it relied on the unique climate and geographical advantage here to curb the opponent's attack.

But it was just a choke. It seemed that it was nowhere to be achieved if he wanted to annihilate the opponent. The only thing Jomba could do before was to try to cut off the opponent's supply line and let time slowly consume the opponent.

But just as the Ming people's blockade could not completely cut off Pattaya's lifeline, Pattaya could not see the sea tightly. Although Lei Wei had a difficult life, he still survived tens of thousands of Pattaya's land power firmly attracted in front of him.

Manning Port is the second place where Pattaya needs heavy troops. Not only is this port the most important place in Pattaya, but more importantly, it is only a few dozen miles away from Pattaya City. Once the enemy attacks from the sea and Manning Port is lost, it is equivalent to opening the gate of Pattaya City.

Jomba's younger brother Erdogan is the highest military commander of Port Manning, commanding an army of up to 10,000 people. Two-thirds of this army are deployed in Manning City, firmly guarding this important place and guarding the only passage to Pattaya City.

Manning City is built on the mountain. In front of him is the only large flat land in Manning. Port Manning rose from the ground above this flat land. Standing on Manning City, Port Manning is a sight to see. If you want to go to Pattaya City, the only way is to conquer Manning City.

Since Joko led all the warships to sea, Erdogan's favorite thing every day is to sit at the top of Manning City, watching the empty sea, waiting silently for the news to be transmitted back.

He hoped that was good news.

Theoretically speaking, victory should undoubtedly belong to them, but whenever he thinks of the changes brought to this sea area by the Ming people over the years, Erdogan becomes unreasonably worried.

He once disguised himself as a smuggling merchant and went to Yangang. He had seen how such a deserted island became the most prosperous city in the sea in just over ten years, and had also seen the arrogant and proud Ming warriors.

I hope everything goes well, everything goes well as my brother expected, first defeating the Ming people, and then negotiating with the Ming people. I hope that the Ming people do not have the ability to invest troops here on a large scale, and I hope that all the things analyzed by Qin Li, a native of Qi, are correct.

Only when these hopes become reality one by one can Pattaya have a future.

The Ming people seem to have never directly unified the requirements of this place. What they need is an agent, so Manila can do it, Pattaya Xiran can do it. However, Pattaya does not want to become a puppet of the Ming people. They want to talk to the Ming people equally and trade on equal terms.

Today he sat at the top of Manning City for a whole day, but there was still nothing that made him happy on the sea. He stood up silently and prepared to leave.

Unlike most people in this sea area who are very short, Erdogan is extremely tall and he is also the person with the highest martial arts cultivation in Pattaya.

Turning around and trying to leave, he suddenly seemed to feel something. He suddenly turned around and at the end of his vision, thick smoke suddenly rose from the sea level, and the black smoke rose straight into the sky, looking particularly conspicuous under the burning clouds of Huangcuo.

His body trembled slightly, and his flesh suddenly collapsed and tightened. His body shook slightly, and he jumped onto the roof of the city tower and stared at the sea.

A warship with black smoke appeared in his sight. Behind the warship, five smaller warships, also emitting black smoke, followed behind.

Erdogan's blood seemed to be frozen all of a sudden. From the inside out, a chill soaked his whole body. He couldn't help but shivered with excitement.

This is the Ming people's warship, the kind of warship without sails and emitting black smoke.

Since the Ming people's warships appeared here, it can only mean one thing. Joko was naturally a failure. It was just why Joko, who failed, did not even send any information back. Naval battles could be defeated, but no matter what, it was impossible to be wiped out. A ship or a person could not escape.

Erdogan couldn't understand.

His breath became chaotic, his feet sank slightly, and several tiles were stomped by him.

He jumped down in despair and stood on the top of the city. At this time, the six warships emitting black smoke had clearly appeared in everyone's sight. Port Manning was completely in chaos. On the top of the city, all the soldiers gathered over and looked at the enemy warships approaching in the distance in a daze.

"Roar the alarm." Erdogan tried his best to calm himself down. He must not be confused. If he is in chaos, Manning City will be over." Distribute weapons, all the city, men, women, young and old, are ready to fight."

"The shipwreck enters the port, and then raises the fire to the port," Erdogan took a deep breath: "Everyone, withdraw from Manning City. Immediately send a messenger back to Pattaya City and tell the king that he should prepare to fight to the death!"

The Taiping came by riding the wind and waves. Ning Zeyuan stood on the Taiping podium. The red cloak behind him was blown high by the sea breeze, making a sound. He liked this feeling very much.

"Pattaya, I'm here." He opened his hands and laughed.

Amid his laughter, a fire suddenly flashed from Manning Port, first clustered, and then gradually connected into a piece. In a short period of time, the entire Manning Port was completely trapped in a raging fire.

Ning Zeyuan's laughter came to an abrupt end. Looking at the fire that soared into the sky, his eyes became cold.

He did not expect that Erdogan, the guard of Manning City, was so decisive. As soon as he discovered his appearance, he immediately burned down a fire in Pattaya's most prosperous Port Manning.

Since even the port is burned, the other party will naturally not do anything like a shipwreck entering the port and completely destroying the port. In this way, the hope of seizing the port will be completely lost. Not to mention the flagship Taiping, even the other three-layer main warships cannot dock.

"It's a great character!" He shook his head.

The sound of a whistle sounded on the Taiping quotation, and it began to gradually speed up, and finally anchored on the sea surface. The huge iron anchor fell from the bow. Now Ning Zeyuan had no choice but to wait for the Manning Port to burn out before making the next decision.
