In Baoqing Port, Ning Ze sat on the deck from afar, staring at the quiet sea in front of him. The Maritime Affairs Bureau is now divided into two, and his power has suddenly shrunk a lot, from the early military and political capture to the current military only. And there is a mother-in-law on it, that is, the Ministry of War of the Ming Dynasty. Although he is appointed as the Minister of the Ministry of War, his affairs are still the only one in the Navy.

Originally, he should have been in charge of Huludao, where the main force of the Ming Navy was stationed, but because the navy split up, it was difficult to sort out the matter for a while, and the handover with the Commercial Bureau was inseparable from him, General Manager.

His eyes were staring at the calm sea, as if there were many flowers blooming on the sea. Behind him, a row of naval officers and soldiers standing were also staring at the sea.

A bunch of bubbles emerged from the sea, becoming denser and denser, and more and more. Then, waves flipped up at the sea level, and then heads emerged from under the sea water. Ning Zeyuan let out a sigh, looked back, and asked, "How long?"

"Three quarters of an hour!" An officer stepped forward and said happily: "The leader, the improved scuba can double the time our soldiers spend underwater. This is an amazing achievement!"

Ning Zeyuan nodded, "It's true. Please order a batch of such scubas with Tiangong Bureau first and tell them that we hope they will continue to improve, but it is still too bulky."

"Yes, commander." The officer nodded and said he had written it down.

He raised his eyes and looked at the sailors on the sea waving their hands and swimming towards a small boat not far away. Ning Zeyuan asked: "How is the Tiangong Department promoting the project of using rubber to make inflatable boats?"

"There is not much progress." Another officer stepped forward. "The materials we had obtained from Manila were only skillfully used by the Tiangong Department to make materials that wrapped the wheels of the carriage. The small boats they wanted should be thin and solid. They had no way to do it for a while," he said.

"This matter is going to be destroyed." Ning Zeyuan glanced at the officer dissatisfied, "Our navy tried a lot to get these materials back from Manila, and invested in them to study. It was not just for them to work hard on the carriage. This thing not only concerns the combat capability of our navy fleet, but also the combat capability of the navy Marines in the future. He told Director Xu Lai that our navy's money cannot be invested in vain. If the money is not enough, we will add more money, but I need to see the results as soon as possible."

"Master Xu Lai has a bad temper." The officer hesitated for a moment.

Ning Zeyuan snorted: "Don't have a good temper? I have a bad temper, I'm soft-handed and short-speaking. We invest a lot of money in it. It's almost a year since we even got the most basic thing for us. What else can he have? You go to him personally. If someone like him is tougher, the shorter he is. If you are soft, he will be swaying his beard and staring at him."

"I understand." The officer thought about it and couldn't help laughing. When he went to find Master Xu Lai some time ago, he did express his dissatisfaction. Marshal Xu looked a little short of breath at that time.

The sound of thumping footsteps sounded on the deck. Everyone turned around and saw the veteran He Ying strode. Everyone quickly made way. He Ying waved his hand and said to the officers: "You go down, I have something to say to the commander."

Everyone retreated one after another, and only Ning Zeyuan and He Ying were left on the huge deck. Ning Zeyuan turned his head but did not speak. He Ying was silent for a while before saying, "Are you going to remain silent for this matter? That's your father."

Ning Zeyuan smiled bitterly at the corner of his mouth: "What uncle thinks I should do?"

"At least I have to give Your Majesty a secret letter to express my attitude." He Ying said in a deep voice.

"Please a memorial?" Ning Zeyuan sighed: "What should I say? Tell Your Majesty that my Ning family puts the overall situation first and the court does not have to care about my father's life and death? This is unfilial. Or beg Your Majesty to rescue my father. Can such a national event be changed because of a person's safety? It concerns the life and death of thousands of people. If I really do this, it is unfaithful."

"So you are silent? But if you are so arrogant like this, wouldn't it make people feel that you are both unfaithful and unfilial?" He Ying said angrily.

"I can only do this. The court did not disclose this matter, so I could only regard it as if I didn't know. I believe that with Your Majesty's ability, I will definitely come up with a way to achieve the best of both worlds." Ning Zeyuan whispered.

"What can I do? What is the purpose of Cao Hui kidnapping your father? How can you not know? The navy must be because of the navy!" He Ying lamented: "I am really afraid of your father..."

Ning Zeyuan suddenly smiled and said, "I am afraid that my father will join Qi State if he is really afraid of death and help them build a navy. In the future, I will fight against my father on the sea?"

"It's not that there is no such possibility!" He Ying whispered. "If such a thing really happens, how can you deal with yourself in the Ming Dynasty in the future? Will Your Majesty be suspicious of you? Even if Your Majesty still trusts you, my colleagues will probably look at you with strange eyes."

"No." Ning Zeyuan shook his head: "The future of Ning's family is in the Ming Dynasty. Ning's family has been closely linked with the Ming Dynasty. My father can see this very clearly, so he will naturally not do stupid things."

"Mr. Shu Changshu is now inspecting the pharmaceutical workshop in Changyang County. Otherwise, I will go to him and tell him what you think now. The relationship between Lord. Shu and Your Majesty is extraordinary. As long as he returns to Yuejing City, he will definitely talk about this matter to Your Majesty. Doing so will be nothing but an open procedure and a clear expression to Your Majesty. How about it?" He Ying said with an idea.

"What's the difference between this and my letter and Your Majesty?" Ning Zeyuan shook his head: "I want to do this, why do you need uncle, to go to Changyang County? Isn't Lord Wang Yueyao handing over the sea trade with me? Isn't it the same as her? There is no need, uncle, I believe that your Majesty will have a solution. You can go and do it! The recruitment and training of the Navy Marine Corps cannot be relaxed. It takes time to form combat effectiveness. After the initial formation of the army, they will be sent to Manila. Kanu has been restless there, so he let the Navy Marine Corps train. In batches, when the attack is in full swing, our Navy will not become the Ming Dynasty's transportation brigade, and we will also get a share of the pie in this battle of great contributions."

"I understand!" He Ying said. He turned around and was about to leave, but a sudden sound of horse hooves sounded from the dock. The two of them looked back at the same time, and their faces changed slightly.

"It's the official of the Ministry of War!" the two of them said in unison.

Soon, the Ministry of War Order appeared in front of the two of them, took out a secret letter sealed with fire from their arms, and presented it to Ning Zeyuan with both hands: "Shishou, this is a private message from Shangshu Zhang to you." Ning Zeyuan's other identity is the Right Minister of War, and the Left Minister is Qin Feng's in-law Liu Xingwen. Therefore, the people in the Ministry of War call him the Minister, while the people in the Navy call him the Commander.

Ning Zeyuan took the envelope in confusion. Since it was a private message, why did he use a special order from the Ministry of War to send this letter? Isn’t this a contradiction?

I tore off the hot paint seal and pulled out the letters inside. I browsed them in ten lines at first, and immediately smiled on my face, and then I started to read them word by word.

"What's wrong?" He Ying asked in a low voice.

Ning Zeyuan handed the letter to He Ying and said happily to the official: "Thank you for your hard work, just go back for two days after Baoqing rests. After you go back, tell Shangshu Zhang and say I thank him. Rest assured that I will get things done."

In Changning County, Xian Bisong sat behind the big table with a gloomy face. There was a memorial with an undried ink on the table. At this moment, he was staring at the memorial.

The sound of footsteps came from outside the lobby, and the deputy general Xu Junsheng walked in with anger on his face, "General, you should know, right? What do Cao Hui want to do? Do he have any of us in his eyes? He took action at this time to kill His Royal Highness the Prince! We have been confronting Ming people for so long, when will they be willing to suffer losses?"

Xian Bisong looked up at him, her eyes were extremely cold, which shocked Xu Junsheng.

"General! The last general heard that His Highness was originally regarded as a guest of honor in Yuejing City, but now he has been restricted from his movements. Everyone is detained in the inn and cannot take a step. The people guarding the inn have also been replaced by the eagle's nest. What does this mean? You should be very clear, we cannot sit idly by!"

Xian Bisong said quietly: "How many people know about this news?"

"A lot, I don't know how many, but at least the senior generals in the army know about it." Xu Junsheng said.

With a bang, Xian Bisong grabbed the inkstone and threw it heavily to the ground, with fire almost blowing in her eyes.

"General, we..."

"Now you go and do something right and tell the generals that this matter is rotten in my stomach, and no one is allowed to tell me. Those middle and lower-level officers who know these things will immediately arrest me first.

"General, what are you doing?"

Xian Bisong said coldly: "What are you doing? Do you want the army to get messy first? Isn't this exactly what the Ming people think and the army cannot be messy? This matter is not something they can solve. I have my own idea."

Xu Junsheng glanced at the memorial on the table and whispered: "General, the last general is willing to sign up."

"Get out!" Xian Bisong glanced at him, "We both cannot be mixed into this matter. You are not unclear about the complexity of this matter. Now you must stabilize the mood in the army. Those who spread such news will be arrested. It seems that there are really many ulterior motives in our army, and Changning County must also be nervous. Since the other party has taken action, it will definitely be a three-way approach."

"I understand." Xu Junsheng hesitated for a moment: "General, the last general feels that there are many people and great power."
