Chen Ci and a thousand Manila soldiers finally arrived at Port Manning in Pattaya.

He originally thought that Manning Port would have to resist for a while, but he never expected that Manning would fall into the hands of the Ming people early on, standing on the port, looking at the unrecognizable Manning City, Chen Ci could hardly believe that this was the third largest port of this sea area once flourished, second only to Manila Port and Yangang.

"Okay, it's better to come than not!" Ning Zeyuan's smile made Chen Ci feel a little palpitations. He always feels that Ning Zeyuan has something in his words, looking like he is hiding evil intentions." Mr. Chen, our army has launched an attack on Pattaya City."

"Manila is willing to serve the Ming Dynasty." Chen Ci bowed. He couldn't help but bend his face in front of Ning Zeyuan, saying those words that were just for Ning Zeyuan to serve the poor.

"Mr. Chen, I said before, it's good to come, it's just an attitude." Ning Zeyuan still smiled and said, "But when attacking Pattaya City, I'm afraid there will be no need to work under Mr. Chen's command. When Mr. Chen arrives there, Pattaya City has already been taken down by us. It's not worth it."

Chen Ci was a little unbelievable. Think about the fact that Lei Wei had been trapped on Pattaya Island for so long and had not shaken Pattaya. Is it so easy this time? But look at the artillery on the warships anchored in the port, and think about the fact that all the island countries in this sea area are gathered here now, how could Lei Wei be matched by one-handedly?

"What can Manila do not only for the Ming Dynasty?" Chen Ci asked.

"Yes, some!" Ning Zeyuan smiled and said, "There were bloody battles in Manning City, and blood flowed into a river. Mr. Chen is an old military service. If he knew that this situation was not dealt with immediately, it would be a terrible thing. But my army and all coalition forces of all countries rushed to Pattaya. There was really insufficient manpower here. If Mr. Chen was willing, he would let his soldiers clean up the Manning. What should he be buried, burn, and clean up the ones he should be cleaned. How about it?"

This is to use Manila soldiers as coolies.

Chen Ci was stunned for a while and nodded. At this time, no matter how great the humiliation is, I am afraid that Ning Zeyuan is really malicious. If he destroys Pattaya and takes this coalition force to deal with Manila, Pattaya will be a lesson.

After returning to Manila, he and Luo Yishui made a final decision and came up with an ending that made both of them extremely helpless. They were not Ning Zeyuan's opponents, at least not at sea. When Ning Zeyuan integrated all the island countries on this island, they would definitely fail on land.

Under such a situation, it became inevitable that Xiang Ning Zeyuan would surrender. With Chen Ci, there was also the head of the Manila Navy Commander Umberla who Ning Zeyuan called for.

Chen Ci thought that their surrender would be exchanged for the forgiveness of the Ming Dynasty, but now it seems that the situation is not as wonderful as they thought. At least, from Ning Zeyuan, what he still feels cold and faint hostility.

After a few days, some even more terrifying things happened scene after scene under Chen Ci's nose. Groups of Pattaya people were exchanged for escorts by the island troops, and escorted from a distance like candied haws. They were trading with the merchants from Ming Dynasty on the port with a smile.

The Ming Dynasty merchants looked at the quality of these Pattaya people as if they were checking the animals. The young men, women and children, who were a little older, were immediately selected by them and were still on the side. Then they handed over the money and delivered the goods. They escorted the people onto the large merchant ship parked in the port like they drove away the animals, and then sailed away.

In just a few days, Chen Ci saw at least thousands of people being transported away like this.

Chen Ci is not completely unable to find anyone to speak here. Even if Ning Zeyuan ignored him, there was another person who had a friendship with him. So he found Zhou Yangfan with a few pots of wine one night.

Zhou Yangfan's warship is the only sailing warship in the Ming fleet in the port, and it is easy to find.

Halfway through the drinks, Chen Ci asked about this, and Zhou Yangfan looked at Chen Ci with a big smile.

"Mr. Chen, aren't you asking this knowingly?" He half-squinted his eyes and looked at Chen Ci and said, "Isn't this a human trafficking?"

"The Ming Dynasty is in glorious and prosperous country, and it also does such a thing?" Chen Ci asked.

"If you want to build a glorious country, there is nothing dark in private?" Zhou Yangfan asked back.

"There are many people in the Ming Dynasty, what do you need these slaves?" Chen Ci asked.

Zhou Yangfan snorted coldly: "Who said there are many people in the Ming Dynasty? It is the Ming Dynasty's mainland, except for places like Shayang, Zhengyang, Yuejing, other places are not short of population? Places like Taoyuan and Wuling have been peaceful for more than ten years, but they can only be called a breath of relief. The losses that year were too serious. Ten years were far from enough to truly restore these places to their peak period. In the western part of the Ming Dynasty, population has become a major dilemma that restricts the local economic development."

Chen Ci was silent.

"Don't Mr. Chen know about Cenzhou?" Zhou Yangfan asked.

"Know."

"There is a vast area, and a county is enough to match several counties in the Ming Dynasty, but it is such a place with only a population of 800,000. Yue Kaishan is suffering. Now the Ming Dynasty is implementing the grand strategy of developing the western region, digging canals, and trying to turn the western region into a fishing and rice town, so a large population is needed. Now Yue Kaishan has set up countless settlement points and farms where it is set up, and labor is needed to fill it in." Zhou Yangfan said.

Yue Kaishan set up these wife settlement sites and farms, which were originally intended to resettle the mobs sentenced to exile in Jiangnan, but now with these slaves, Yue Kaishan will probably be happier. In this way, he will manage the place better.

"It's a pity that these people left their hometowns. I'm afraid there will be no hope for returning to their hometown in this life." Chen Ci looked at the gathering of merchant ships with lights and water on the sea surface and sighed.

"The water flows to the lower part, and people walk to the higher part." Zhou Yangfan stared and said, "These people are crying now, but maybe after a few years, they will not want to come back. What's the good thing about this place? Thinking about the Qin people who were sold from Qin to the Ming Dynasty, they now want them to return to their hometowns, and they will never leave if they cry, and they will make trouble and hang themselves! I think the people of Pattaya are very poor, far less wealthy than my Ming Dynasty. Wherever we are, maybe for them, they just fall into a honey jar and just have fun secretly?"

Chen Ci sighed: "I hope this is the case. I wonder how many people will Mr. Ning take away this time?"

"How many people?" Zhou Yangfan burst into laughter: "There are more and more people. How many people can a small Pattaya have? At most, hundreds of thousands of people are there. How many people are left if those who died in battle, the old and the weak are left? And it is impossible to clean up people, right? There are still some people left. In my opinion, it is far from satisfying the gap in the west in Pattaya."

Speaking of this, he squeezed his eyes at Chen Ci and smiled: "If Manila is almost the same, Manila has at least nearly two million people, right?"

Chen Ci suddenly changed color, "General Zhou, what did you say?"

Zhou Yangfan coughed dryly, grabbed the wine glass, tilted his neck to drink it, and looked at Chen Ci awkwardly: "I've drunk too much, joking, joking."

Chen Ci didn't know whether Zhou Yangfan was really joking or accidentally revealed his secret, but he could feel a strong crisis coming.

"This time, is Lord Ning extremely dissatisfied with our Manila?" He poured Zhou Yangfan full of wine, and he continued to ask.

"I'm afraid Mr. Ning is not dissatisfied with you, but the Ming Dynasty is dissatisfied with you!" Zhou Yangfan raised his eyebrows, "Lei Wei was in trouble in Pattaya, which forced the court to send a large army. Mr. Chen, do you think the court will be satisfied? It would be fine if it was the Chief Minister Quan, but you probably don't know what the current Chief Minister Jin has."

Chen Ci didn't know Jin Jingnan's personality, and what people like this had like, they naturally found out clearly. Jin Jingnan, in terms of Sun Island in him and Luo Yishui, was a cruel official. He was a person who could do anything to achieve his goal.

"If you don't know, don't do it unless you do it yourself." Zhou Yangfan continued: "If you don't have this gold and steel diamond, you have to take on this porcelain work. How can you not have any trouble? But Mr. Chen, don't you have to worry about anything? But when you go back to the Ming Dynasty, your two sons are both my Daming city. What are you afraid of?"

Chen Ci naturally had nothing to fear about his personal safety, but Manila was the hard work he and Luo Yishui over the past decade, from hairy hair to gray hair, so he was another son.

"General Zhou, there is no need to say anything about your friendship. Give me a correct statement. What is the constitution of the court for our Manila?" Chen Ci was a little anxious.

Zhou Yangfan was silent.

"General Zhou, you have been in Manila for many years. Chen thinks he treats you as a true friend. At this time, do you really want to say a word?" Chen Ci was a little anxious.

Zhou Yangfan was silent for a while before saying, "Mr. Chen, I only say one thing. Minister Ning ordered that all the princes and nobles of Pattaya be killed and killed without leaving any one, but Kanu and his family must be captured alive."

Chen Ci's face suddenly turned pale.

"Is the Ming Dynasty going to help Kanu restore the reign of the Ming Dynasty?"

"Not necessarily." Zhou Yangfan said: "After the war, the Ming Dynasty will set up an unofficial department here to integrate all commercial affairs in this sea area. Kanu may hold an important position in it. Of course, it depends on what Manila does."
