Outside the Manzhu port, the huge whistle of the Great Chu sounded and slowly sailed towards the berth specially prepared for him under the guidance of a guide ship. Behind him, twelve new warships lined up in a long row and slowly sailed.

In the port, a hot light burst out from Ning Zeyuan's eyes. The Dachu is a warship designed based on the characteristics of steam engines and artillery. He is equipped with four large steam engines. He has stronger power than Taiping. The new design allows him to better exert the power of the steam engine and maximize the advantage of firepower. Although his size is even larger than Taiping, his speed is more than twice that of Taiping.

The battleships following him were also newly designed new warships. There were nearly ten production lines of the three major shipyards Huludao, Baoquan and Quanzhou. After nearly two years of hard work, tens of thousands of manpower and a huge amount of money were invested, and such a new fleet was finally built.

One-eyed Zhou Li stood on the bridge with a lot of emotion. When he was recruited by the Ming Dynasty, he never thought that he would have such a day. Now, he not only gallops on the boundless sea, but also wants to fight against the distant maritime power. This is his lifelong dream.

He was the first naval general to follow Qin Feng, and now all this is Qin Feng's reward for him.

He turned around and bowed deeply to a man beside him.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

There was a choking sound in the voice.

Qin Feng left Yuejing City quietly, not even his personal guard Liehuo Death Camp, and only followed He Rentuo, a guard. He didn't want the news of his departure to be discovered too early. When he was in Yuejing City, he did not show up very much, and he would only attend in those occasions that had to appear. So now that he left, the Qi people might not react for a while. They were buried in the spy detectives who were qualified to attend court in the Ming Dynasty court, and are now staying in the small cell of the National Security Bureau.

Min Ruoxi is in charge of Yuejing. The court meeting will naturally be held every ten-days as scheduled, but that is just a show of doing things.

Looking at Zhou Li excited, he smiled and helped him up: "A big man is so arrogant, but he is a little daughter. General Zhou, this is what I promised you at the beginning. Now I have fulfilled my promise. Next, it depends on you."

"Your Majesty, I will definitely take the Great Chu name to pacify the world for Your Majesty. As long as it is a place where the Great Chu name can reach, I can plant the Sun and Moon Flag for Your Majesty."

Qin Feng laughed loudly.

"It's docked, Ning Zeyuan and the others have already come up. Let's go."

The two got off the bridge and returned to the cabin. A moment later, Qin Wu, Ning Zeyuan, Lei Wei, Bi Ci and others walked in one after another and fell to Qin Feng.

"I've seen Your Majesty."

"Get up, get up." Qin Feng waved his hand with a smile. Seeing everyone standing up, he looked at Qin Wu and said, "How come this time I came to Pattaya, have you not caused trouble for you uncles and uncles?"

Qin Wu pouted with dissatisfaction: "Father, son minister has grown up and can share the worries of his father."

"Is that true?" Qin Feng seemed to smile.

Ning Zeyuan smiled and said, "Your Majesty, this is true. This time, Your Highness King Qi gave us a lot of good ideas, and I went to every defense zone in our country. The appearance of Your Highness King Qi made every military and civilian here excited. All projects can be completed ahead of schedule, and the contribution of Your Highness King Qi to encourage him."

Qin Feng smiled and pointed at Ning Zeyuan: "He can still endure hardships, and this is still up to me, but let's forget about it. How much experience can he have? This time, he can listen to your plans on the spot is a huge improvement for him. How can Wu'er have it? How can he feel?"

Qin Wu nodded: "I feel deeply. War is not what I think. It doesn't matter how to fight the war. What is important is what we need to use war to achieve. In fact, I didn't understand very much at first why we had to prepare for land war. I think we can completely defeat them at sea. Only after listening to the explanations of all the uncles and uncles, I really understood it."

"It's not difficult to defeat, but what's next, are we going to chase the sea so vast? How can we chase and how to catch up?" Qin Feng said: "In this battle, we want not only to defeat the enemy. We must set our sights on the future. After defeating them, we must extend our hands to the Western Continent. We must support a group of people who obey us or rely on us. We must open up the vast market of the Western Continent. We must destroy the Tiger Dynasty and split this unified country into countless small countries. Only in this way can we have the greatest interests to seize."

Seeing Qin Wu wanting to speak but stop, Qin Feng shook his finger: "I know what you want to say, you want to say, we can directly send troops to occupy where we can make them the territory of the Ming Dynasty, right?"

Qin Wu smiled awkwardly, he did think so in his heart.

Qin Feng looked at Chen Ci, "Gen Chen, you might as well explain to Wu'er."

Chen Ci nodded and stepped forward and said, "Your Highness, the Ming Dynasty can take over Qin, Chu, and even Qi in the future because everyone has the same language, the same race, the same words, the same words, and the same festival. In essence, everyone is actually a group of people. Many years ago, our continent was originally a unified country, but it was divided only because of historical reasons. The so-called separation will lead to unity, and the combination will lead to unity. This is the law of history. Everyone has no rebellious mentality about this. More people also think that it is indeed time to unify. But it is different to walk out of our continent, for example, the sea area of ​​Manila."

Chen Ci pointed out the window, "The place here is not small, there are many countries, and some countries are not even as good as a large county in our Ming Dynasty, but there are more than a dozen languages ​​and very different customs. Your Highness knows how strong they are, but why don't we annex them? In terms of force, annexation is extremely simple. But in fact, after the annexation, the troubles we will encounter will be much greater than our benefits. At that time, it may be

Wars are everywhere, and there are locals who resist us everywhere. Pattaya is an example. They were destroyed by us. Most of the population either died in war or were brought back to the mainland to work as coolies, but the resistance stopped. Your personal guards are still fighting against them in the deep mountains and forests. Can you imagine that there are voices of resistance everywhere in this sea area of ​​Manila? How many troops do we have to maintain here and how much military spending we spend to maintain order here.”

Qin Wu nodded.

"The old minister and Luo Yishui have been operating in Manila for many years. To this day, it has been almost twenty years. It is easy to subvert the original dynasty from force, but we cannot do that. A very important reason is the status. Even if Chalan is just a symbolic king, he is still a symbol in the hearts of the people of Manila. This is the human heart, which he cannot touch or see, but it actually exists."

After looking at Qin Feng, Chen Ci said: "Your Majesty's methods are even more clever. He first wins over the elites in this sea area from the economy, so that he can closely connect with the interests of the Ming Dynasty, and then silently exports the Ming culture here, allowing the Ming culture to take root here, erode bit by bit, and annex the local culture here. Although this will take a long time, it is a real foundation for eternity. When the Ming cultural circle becomes mainstream here, it doesn't matter whether they hang the Ming sun and moon flag. Because in essence, they are also people of the Ming Dynasty."

"I understand." Qin Wu stared at him and nodded repeatedly.

"The Western Continent is farther away from us. It is even more impossible to occupy them by force and turn them into the land of the Ming Dynasty. What we cannot do in the Manila waters will be even less able to do. It is a country that has experienced great unification. We cannot tolerate such a powerful country, because if we only defeat them, it will only sow the seeds of hatred. If they recover, they may make a comeback. Therefore, we need to plan for the long term, defeat this unified dynasty, and then use the contradictions between them to differentiate them.

As long as the Tiger Dynasty splits into many small countries, we will have a great chance of getting on the ground. We can embed it deeper into the political system of the Western Continent, play our role, and fundamentally cut off their possibility of reunification. If they cannot unify into one country, the threat to us is equal to zero. Of course, we covet the huge market of the Western Continent. Instead of spending huge manpower, material resources and financial resources to rule them and suppress them, it is better to use our goods to occupy their markets and gain their wealth openly."

Qin Feng looked at Qin Wu with a smile and said, "You should understand something now. This world is very big. It cannot be solved by force alone. Forget about fighting will lead to danger, and be warlike will lead to danger. You must remember that in some areas, many means are more effective than force."

"My son felt that the spear suddenly opened. Mr. Chen, I have received the teachings." Qin Wu bowed to Chen Ci.

"I dare not take this." Chen Ci smiled and refused to accept this gift.

"Your Majesty, the Tiger Dynasty is not far from us. Their pathfinding warships have fought with our patrol ships. The Changyang sank two other warships and captured one alive. One of them was a nobleman. We have obtained valuable information from him. Your Majesty wants to see him."
