Chapter 1554: The Emperor's Mind
With a "bang", Ning Zeyuan punched the big case with a punch, and the pen, ink, paper and inkstone on the case jumped up and fell all over the ground.
"You can't just forget it." Ning Zeyuan looked at Zhou Li, who was leaning against the window with one of the fried salt beans throwing into his mouth. "Old Zhou, can you imagine Ma Zhendong standing on the deck of Zhongping and watching the slowly sinking Fuyuan No. 1 crying? This is a strong man, and he was the first man to follow your subordinates, wiped out countless pirates, participated in the Battle of Manila, and was injured. I have never seen him shed a tear."
Kabeng chewed a bean with a whisper, and Zhou Li said lazily: "When he comes back, I will beat him up. The bastard, a captain, actually sunk his warship."
"It's not a crime of war!" Ning Zeyuan said angrily: "Can you swallow this tone?"
Zhou Li spread his hands and stared at the boss with one eye: "What should I do if I don't swallow it? Those little mice were hiding in the corner and it was not so easy to find. When he went to Laizhou, his Majesty refused. Commander Ning, the emperors of the two countries were about to meet in Xiaoshi City. This is a big deal and cannot be destroyed."
Ning Zeyuan smiled grimly and said, "Old Zhou, Your Majesty will go to Quanzhou first and then change the boat to Jinghu. It will take about half a month. Lao Zhou, let's go to Laizhou and run faster, only ten days. How about going to vent a vent on Ma Zhendong before the negotiations between the emperors of the two countries?"
Zhou Li raved and laughed: "Since Commander Ning dares to take this burden, what is Old Zhou's trip? As you said, Ma Zhendong is also my old subordinate. I have nothing to say to bully him. He was bullied by others, so I naturally want to find this place."
"This time the Ming Dynasty is also going." Ning Ze walked far away.
Ah! Zhou Li was stunned, "Commander Ning, you might as well stop going. I'll go for this vote. Your Majesty will blame you. You still have a room for reversal on it. If you go, it will be different."
"Since my brother has drawn a lot of tricks for me, I will teach him an unforgettable lesson." Ning Zeyuan sneered: "Even if you are blamed by Your Majesty, I think it's worth it."
"The whole army is dispatched?" Zhou Li touched the thick and hard short beard on his cheeks, "This is a name!"
"Exercise!" Ning Ze walked far away. "As soon as we went out to sea, we were not sure about it. Lao Zhou, there was only one chance. After finishing this time, Qi Ming would enter a three to five-year peace period. In the past few years, except for catching rats at sea, we would not be able to catch any serious battles."
"Since the commander has made up his mind, whenever His Majesty the Emperor leaves Baoqing Port, we will go out to sea in the name of exercises, sailing towards Huludao for a day, and then turning to Laizhou." Zhou Li walked to the chart, drew a line on it, and then turned suddenly, pointing directly to Laizhou.
The two of them looked at each other and laughed.
Zhou Li took out a handful of beans from his pocket and walked to the window to look at the Daqin in the distance, "It's so beautiful!"
Ning Zeyuan walked to him and patted his shoulder: "Don't be envious. Give the Daqin to Zhou Baozhen to become his flagship. Your Majesty has other considerations. The Dachu will be launched next year. It is the best warship that combines the latest technology of our Daming shipbuilding. Although you got it late, you got it the best. What else is not happy? You helped Your Majesty develop the navy from nothing. How could Your Majesty forget you?"
"It's the Li'er, but I'm still itchy!" Zhou Li laughed, "This time we went out, we just exploring the combat modes of the fifth-layer warships like the Ming Dynasty and other warships to see if there are any improvements."
"There will always be some improvement!" Ning Zedao said. "Old Zhou, this time the wolf pack tactics developed by the people of Qi, do you think we should create a batch of faster and stronger cracks in a targeted manner? We should treat the person with the same way."
"This kind of ship has always been used. Didn't Baoqing Shipyard design a kind of fast ship used in the inland river? I think a little change of the design will be enough to support combat at sea."
"This kind of ship is OK in the near-shore combat, but if it sails far away, it will not last long."
"Commander, can the Clippers of Qi enter the far sea to fight? Don't forget that the sea is now controlled by us. We can arrange some logistics bases on some islands. With these places, we can support them to advance like a distance. As for Qi people, if they dare to learn from us, we will send warships to destroy their bases one by one."
"It makes sense!" Ning Zeyuan slapped his high-five and said with a smile: "I am confused. In places like Changsheng Island, we can arrange some logistics supplies on it, and then rely on it to effectively control a large area of sea areas."
"That's right." Zhou Li said with a smile. "And, Commander Ning, the Falcon Eagle is a good thing. Two is definitely not enough. We have to get more."
"I'm afraid it's difficult." Ning Zeyuan sighed: "The land is always the key point. Even if there is one, I'm afraid I will try my best to give it to the army first. It's already good to get two. Haven't you heard Your Majesty say it was lent to us? It's better to ask for others than to ask for others. Lao Zhou, let's release the wind and collect such falcons in large quantities. Didn't Jiang Sheng stay with us for a while? He must know how to train this thing. Since it is borrowed, then use it to death. Don't be stingy with money and reward more. You must learn this craft."
"The heroes have the same views. The merchants who engage in maritime trade are all rich, have vast friendships and are very powerful. I will let out the wind. If anyone doesn't give us a strong solution, we will make it difficult for him to move on the sea." Zhou Li said. "But this way, I'm afraid this thing will be exposed, and Qiren will soon be able to figure out the mystery here."
"Lead one step, lead one step!" Ning Zeyuan said unconsciously: "Do you think even if we don't do this, even if the Falcon Eagle is on the battlefield a few times, Qi Ren can't figure out the mystery here? This is not a profound thing, it's just to see who thinks about it first. That's it."
The entire floor of the Daqin was packed out as the residence of Qin Feng and Min Ruoxi. After leaving Yuejing City, Min Ruoxi finally felt better. She leaned on the bed and looked at Qin Feng who was burning her feet while watching the memorial: "I think Ning Zeyuan must not be able to swallow this breath. This person is very calm, but when it comes to Ning Zefeng's affairs, he will definitely take revenge."
"I know!" Qin Feng said with a smile.
"Do you know?" Min Ruoxi said strangely: "Since you know you won't stop it?"
Qin Feng smiled and said, "Why should I stop it? I have told him that when I negotiated with Cao Yun, I will never allow any sabotage of the negotiations, but can I control what happened before? Didn't the Qi people sink my Fuyuan number?"
Min Ruoxi giggled: "I thought you were so big-hearted, but it was really a petty person!"
"I will naturally be hit back after slapping me in the face." Qin Feng snorted coldly: "I know Ma Zhendong, that's a man of iron. He looked like he was crying. He didn't dare to think or think. If Ning Zeyuan couldn't even understand my thoughts, would he be my navy commander?"
Min Ruoxi shrugged: "You are becoming more and more conscious of the emperor now!"
"After taking it for a long time, I will naturally have more thoughts." Qin Feng said with a smile.
"However, what Zhou Baozhen said about Qi people may attack merchant ships. I think it is still very likely. This matter has to be guarded against. Marine trade now plays an extremely important role in our Ming Dynasty tax revenue. If it is disturbed, it will have a great impact."
"You think too much, businessmen are chasing profits with huge numbers. The greater the risk, the higher the profits. Moreover, with the ability of the people, it is difficult to have too much impact on our maritime trade. Well, by the way, do you know a new business that Wang Yueyao is exploring now?" Qin Feng asked with a smile.
"What other idea does she have?" Min Ruoxi sat upright curiously. There were two great geniuses in business in the Ming Dynasty, one was Wang Yueyao and the other was Geng Jingming. Now the two are the Minister of Revenue and the other are the Director of the Commercial Department.
"After getting into evil with Chu, our Ming Dynasty merchants in Chu State suffered great losses because when these things happened, we did not notify these merchants in order to keep them confidential. However, one of these merchants was a member of the Industry Federation, and afterwards, the Industry Federation gave them some compensation."
"I know this, and many people are losing everything for it!" Min Ruoxi nodded.
"Wang Yueyao was inspired by this matter. The business being prepared was related to this. She called it the insurance guild." Qin Feng said: "This woman's head does look different from that of ordinary people."
"Insurance Guild, what do you say?"
"It's very simple. For example, there is a businessman who wants to do a business, but the risk is very high. For example, it is very likely to encounter robbers and encounter bad weather, which may cause the merchant to lose money. At this time, the insurance guild will come on stage. You only need to pay a sum of money to the insurance guild. If you fail this business due to these reasons, the insurance guild will compensate you."
Min Ruoxi blinked and said, "Will this insurance guild do this, won't it lose money?"
