"Ning Zefeng kowtowed to His Majesty the Emperor, long live long live long live long!" Ning Zefeng knelt down in front of the desk of Emperor Cao Tiancheng of Qi, and knocked three loudly. He knocked these three loudly with sincerity. When he raised his head, his forehead was covered with black green.

Cao Tiancheng looked up and down at the person he had worked so hard to get it back. I have to say that Ning Zefeng had a good impression of him on the first side.

"Your three heads are very careful, and I can bear it with peace of mind." Cao Tiancheng said lightly: "Ning Zefeng, do you know how much price I have paid to get you back? Not to mention anything else, just Bozhou Licheng, the more than 10,000 elite Long Xiangjun died directly because of you. I hope you won't disappoint me."

"I will definitely make Your Majesty feel that it is worth the money." Ning Zefeng said forcefully, unlike ordinary people who are trembling when they see the emperor. He raised his eyes and looked directly at the emperor, looking very confident.

For him who has experienced hell, he is now alive just for a sense of obsession. A person who is extremely arrogant has been kept as a pig for many years. This resentment is strong enough to make him ignore any existence that is in front of him.

"Very good. Get up, look at the seat." Cao Tiancheng nodded.

The old eunuch brought a brocade stool and placed it behind Ning Zefeng.

"Before you become the commander of my Daqi Navy, I want to listen to your strategy of governing the navy first." Cao Tiancheng leaned back slightly, but his eyes looked at the huge Qi territory map hanging on his side. The blue coastline had never attracted his attention in the past, but now, this level has become a butcher knife strangled around Daqi's neck, and it will be chopped down anytime and anywhere.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Ning Zefeng took a deep breath. Since he knew that he had escaped and was about to come to Qi, he had already understood the tasks he was going to undertake. Over the past few days, in addition to his crazy daily weight loss, he had been thinking about how to form a powerful navy.

From Ming State to Qi State, the ghost spy detective Jia Fangzhou piled up all the information about the Ming naval masters he could collect on his desk. Now he has basically understood the general situation of the Ming naval masters.

"Your Majesty, the Ming Navy has now achieved its momentum. It has four large fleets, led by Zhou Li, He Ying, Zhou Yangfan and Zhou Baozhen. Among them, Zhou Yangfan led a fleet to station in Manila overseas for many years. For the time being, Zhou Li, He Ying and Zhou Baozhen each have more than ten three-layer warships under its command, and are equipped with various auxiliary ships. The total number of ships in each fleet reached more than fifty. The navy commander Ning Zeyuan, with the fifth-layer warship Daming as the core, is forming another fleet. When the fleet is completed, its strength will be far greater than the other three fleets."

"I know all of these. What I want to know now is how we can get back such a disadvantage." Cao Tiancheng knocked on the table and said.

"Your Majesty, the disadvantage will always exist. For at least ten years, we will not be able to erase this disadvantage at all." Ning Zefeng spread his hands and said calmly.

Cao Tiancheng changed his color and said, "I have asked many people who know how to fight on the water. Water battles are nothing more than big ships, and many ships beat few ships. With our great national strength, countless warships can be built within a few years. Why do you say that we cannot erase this disadvantage within ten years?"

"Your Majesty, I wonder if these people have experience in leading their troops at sea?" Ning Zefeng asked back.

Cao Tiancheng was stunned.

"These experiences are either practical or practical on the inland river, but they may not be effective on the sea." Ning Zefeng said. "Your Majesty, the sea is ruthless and unpredictable. Marine combat, meteorology, hydrology, and specific sea areas are all important reference conditions during combat, and it is not only the number of warships to make decisions. In the past two years, have the Ming people's warships been in the waters of our Daqi?"

Cao Tiancheng said angrily: "Of course, they were holding the pirates' flag and forcing them to enter the land of our Daqi with great might. Some places were shocked three times a day."

"Your Majesty, they are not just here to demonstrate." Ning Zefeng shook his head and said, "Their main purpose is probably to detect hydrology, draw sea charts, and understand the current situation. This is crucial in future operations. Can you ask Your Majesty, these relevant information in our Daqi Sea?"

Hearing Ning Zefeng's inquiry, Cao Tiancheng looked at Tian Fen, who was speechless on the side with some embarrassment.

Tian Fen coughed dryly: "Ning Zefeng, I, Daqi, have been abandoned for a long time, even if Your Majesty wants to do these things, it is difficult to find relevant talents. All of this depends on you."

Ning Zefeng nodded: "The villain understands." Tian Fen's words undoubtedly told him that the navy of Qi is now a white board." There are still some talents in this area under the command of the villain. The first thing next is to figure out the situation of all these waters near the Daqi sea. This is the most basic thing. Without these things, the sea fleet would not be able to be used at all. Your Majesty, the villain knows that the ghost shadow of the Daqi is powerful. If we can get some information such as naval charts from the Ming people, we can save a lot of effort."

"I will instruct ghosts to do this." Cao Tiancheng nodded. "In Laizhou, I have built a huge shipyard and repair factory for you. Countless workers are on standby. There are also various craftsmen requisitioned from all over the country. They have begun to explore the construction of three-layer warships. When you arrive, the first one may be built. You have many craftsmen with shipbuilding experience. With their presidency, I hope that within one year, my Daqi will have the first fleet, and at least twenty three-layer warships. You may be able to do it?"

"Your Majesty, the villain thinks this is inappropriate!" Ning Zefeng opposed without hesitation. "Shipbuilding is a great subject. Even a mature shipmaker cannot achieve it overnight when building a warship, let alone we start from scratch. As long as there is a problem in one place, the warship will be a sea coffin at sea. Moreover, with our current maritime disadvantage to the Ming Dynasty, the number of warships can be solved by the number of warships. Please say bluntly that the more warships are built, the more they drive to the sea, it will only become a number of the Ming naval master's contribution, and it will not solve any problems."

"What do you think you should do?" Cao Tiancheng's tone had begun to be unkind.

"Your Majesty, I believe that the Great Qi Navy needs to compete with the Ming Navy, and it needs to be divided into three stages. The first stage is drag." Ning Zefeng said.

"Drag? How to drag?" Tian Fen interrupted with interest.

"First of all, we don't need to build so many three-layer main warships, because even if we have a sufficient number of warships, there are no sufficient experienced captains and sailors. Without these people, a warship cannot exert its combat effectiveness at all. So in the first stage, we only need to build a small number of main warships that can fight near the sea. Their purpose is to refine troops. The first step we should do is to build more special-purpose ships, especially ships that are famous for their speed, to deal with the Ming people at sea."

"Special ship?"

"Yes, Your Majesty. Such ships are not expensive, but their effects are very obvious. Didn't the Ming people often come to our seaside to harass us? We can also grab medicine according to the prescription and send these special fleets to attack their merchant ships." Ning Zefeng sneered: "Now the Ming people's sea remains are extremely prosperous. Countless merchant ships leave the port every day. Our special fleets target them and constantly attack. First, this can drag their warships and force their warships to run to wipe out these fleets. Second, as long as they sink a merchant ship, the Ming people's losses will be huge."

"But in this way, our manpower losses will probably be terrifying." Tian Fen frowned, "The small fleet's ability to survive on the sea must be very weak."

"It is precisely this to cultivate our navy's strength." Ning Zefeng said: "Those who die are loyal to the country and who can come back alive will become the backbone of the Daqi Navy. They will accumulate the most valuable experience in maritime combat in such confrontations with the Ming people again and again. Long-term wandering on the sea will allow them to fully understand the nature of the sea."

"This is feasible." Cao Tiancheng said decisively: "Even if only one person comes back for every ten people going out, then we can get back for 1,000 people when we go out. There are many people in our Great Qi, and the most important thing is manpower. OK, this is the first stage, and what about the second stage?"

"Your Majesty, the first stage of the year, I believe that it will take at least three years. In these three years, we can build a certain number of three-layer warships and accumulate enough experienced water soldiers. At this time, we can enter the offshore and focus on the defense. This stage is for stalemate. We set up ports in important seaside cities, station fleets, and rely on the offshore advantages to carry out key defenses. If we have the opportunity, we can enter a small-scale naval battle with the Ming people to accumulate experience in fleet combat. Because it is an offshore battle, once we lose, we can escape back, which can hone the fleet and preserve our strength as much as possible. At this stage, the Ming people will definitely try their best to destroy our fleet. They will continue to attack our sea fronts and force our army to go out to sea to fight with them. At that time, please insist on the stalemate strategy, because the decisive battle with the enemy at this time is undoubtedly self-destruction."

"I'll discuss this later." Cao Tiancheng hesitated for a moment, but did not agree immediately. "You should continue talking about your third stage!"
