1831: The incredible dust settles
"Your Majesty, the major affairs in Manila are settled!" Jin Jingnan happily bowed to Qin Feng and said. "Luo Yishui finally surrendered. This is Ning Zeyuan's memorial, please read it!"
Qin Feng's hand gently pressed on the thick memorial, and a happy smile appeared on his face. Luo Yishui's surrender was essential to be able to solve the Manila problem in the shortest time.
He didn't want the war to connect that area of sea.
Luo Yishui is about to return to the Ming Dynasty.
The condition for Luo Yishui to return to the Ming Dynasty was that the Kanu family would die, and Chalan would slowly die of illness in the following years.
When Chen Ci proposed this plan to Ning Zeyuan, Ning Zeyuan's mouth was wide open and he could stuff several eggs into it. At that moment, he suddenly realized that when it comes to thick black, he seemed to be much more immature than an old politician like Luo Yishui.
It turns out that many years ago, Luo Yishui had already begun the plan to seize Manila with a calm and justification. Chalan has never had children, not because Chalan has no ability to have children, but because he was secretly tampered with others. The clever means are amazing. Because the means are not used on the woman in Chalan's harem, but on Chalan himself.
If he was causing trouble in the harem, Chalan's women lost one by one, or died one by one, even a fool would probably notice that there was something wrong and then extend these problems, and naturally he would doubt the powerful minister Luo Yishui who was covering the sky with one hand.
But if there is a problem with Chalan itself, there is nothing I can do. If you can't plant seeds, no matter how many women can't get pregnant, what else can you say?
Kanu has a son, and there are several, but what if these legal heirs of Manila died in the war in Pattaya?
Manila, the strongest country in this sea area, will have no legitimate heirs because of Chalan's death due to illness in a few years. At this time, the son born to Luo Yishui and Chalan's sister became the rightful heirs.
This was a plan that had been in operation for a long time, probably starting from the time Luo Yishui helped Chalan overthrow his elder brother and seize the Manila regime.
If this time was not the Ming Dynasty, this plan would probably be carried out in an orderly manner until it was successfully implemented.
"Excellent." Ning Zeyuan looked at Chen Ci and sighed, "It turns out that ginger is still so spicy."
"The Ming Dynasty must admit that in the future, Manila, the son of Luo, will inherit the throne, the prerequisite for us to continue the negotiation." Chen Ci said seriously.
"I think this matter should not be a big problem." Ning Zeyuan thought for a moment and nodded: "It's just Mr. Chen, Luo Yishui left Manila. Who can guarantee that Manila will not change in the future? You must know that Luo Yishui's son, if I remember correctly, should be only eleven or eleven years old!"
"It's twelve years old." Chen Ci nodded.
"So the second condition is that Prime Minister Luo will leave Manila, but Chen will still stay here to supervise the implementation of this plan. I will succeed the Prime Minister of Manila. Although Chen is not young, it is not a big problem to live for another ten years. By then, Mr. Luo will be in his twenties, and his father has no dog son. At that time, he will be able to support the overall situation."
Luo Yishui left, but Chen Ci was left behind. This move was indeed very clever. There is no doubt that if the Ming Dynasty was not at all concerned about Luo Yishui, then Chen Ci would naturally be much more at ease with Chen Ci, because Chen Ci's two sons Chen Zhihua and Chen Jinhua were both senior officials of the Ming Dynasty. Even for the sake of their son's future, Chen Ci would never be enemies with the Ming Dynasty in the years to come.
"Mr. Chen, Luo Yishui really trusts you, and you are indeed admirable." Ning Zeyuan sighed and said: "I think Luo Yishui must be very pleased to have a friend like you in life."
Chen Ci smiled and said nothing.
Ning Zeyuan stood up and said, "This place is too far away from the Ming Dynasty. The messengers took too long to come and go, which would inevitably lead to the mischief. I decided to agree to this matter first. After Mr. Chen returned, he could make corresponding preparations with Luo State."
Chen Ci nodded and said, "Preparation is of course possible, but the Prime Minister Luo's intention is that he must wait until His Majesty personally allows him to start."
"Of course." Ning Ze walked far away." I think this is a matter of mutual benefit."
Qin Feng listened to Jin Jingnan's story and nodded, "So, at this time, the Kanu family has died?"
"It should be true that Ning Zeyuan is a very decisive person. Your Majesty, although this matter is somewhat contrary to our earlier plans, it is still within an acceptable range. Chen Ci is in charge of Manila, which is also something we are happy to see." Jin Jingnan Road." Pattaya no longer exists. The existence of Manila is still helpful for us to stabilize the people's livelihood, economy, and people's hearts in that area."
"It's true that although the road is a bit different, the end is still the same. Then let's just reply to Ning Zeyuan and let him do it cheaply." Qin Feng nodded.
"Your Majesty, Luo Yishui is very ordinary. He promised to return to the Ming Dynasty. We always want to give him a reasonable name. This is also the heart of Anmanila." Jin Jingnan.
"Luo Yishui has been working hard overseas over the years. Now that the wanderer has returned, we will naturally give him the corresponding courtesy. Let's do this, the chief minister, and the captive Luo Yishui is the Kaihai Hou. Is his old house in Yuejing still there?" Qin Feng asked.
"What is still there is, but now it is used as a way."
"Veep it out and return his old house to him after Luo Yishui comes back. By the way, will he come back alone or bring his family? He will not leave all his sons, daughters and women in Manila and return alone, right?" Qin Feng said with a smile.
"Of course, that's not possible. Except for his eldest son and Chalan's sister who stayed in Manila, other children will return to China with Luo Yishui." Jin Jingnan Dao.
"Well, this is also very lively. When Luo Yishui returns, I will take people to the port to greet him in person." Qin Feng smiled, "It's all old friends, and it's great to have such a decent reunion."
"In this way, Lord Wang Yueyao will be very happy to come here." Jin Jingnan said with a smile.
"If you say this in front of Shu Chang, if you believe it or not, you will be able to get up for several days, which will make you unable to get up." Qin Feng said with a smile.
The two of them looked at each other and laughed.
"Your Majesty, Ning Zeyuan is still waiting for His Majesty's holy verdict for other things." Jin Jingnan Road.
"It is very necessary where Ning Zeyuan wants to set up an unofficial department of the Ming Dynasty to unify the affairs of that sea area. Just call it Ximanila Company. Lei Wei serves as the first president. Yu Rongguang, who has worked in Yangang for so many years, is his deputy. Lei Wei is a ruthless person. Yu Rongguang is a political person. Yu Rongguang understands economy and is good at business. The two of them are just in line with each other, which complement each other. Where Murong Fu stays as the leader of the army, Zhou Yangfan has lived there for many years. Where can he integrate the navy? Go back and say to Zhou Li, let his son work for a few more years."
"Your Majesty, I think that both Chen Zhihua and Zhou Yangfan should go a step further." Jin Jingnan said tactfully.
As soon as Jin Jingnan reminded him, Qin Feng suddenly woke up and pondered for a moment, "Chen Zhihua is doing his best, and it's time to be granted the title of the throne. As for Zhou Yangfan, well, let's do this, Zhou Li was the first to follow our navy talent. The Ming Navy has achieved today's achievements, and he will make a title of the throne. As for what kind of throne, you can discuss with the Zhengshi Hall."
"Your Majesty, if Zhou Li is granted the title of vassal, then Ning Shilang?"
Qin Feng laughed, "Well, let's be together. Ning Zeyuan should go a step further."
"Your Majesty is wise." Jin Jingnan nodded repeatedly.
"In this way, even if the civil and military arsenal of the Western Manila Company is set up, what they have to do is clear. First, integrate the power of that area as soon as possible and gather under our Ming Dynasty. The second thing is to accelerate the production of raw materials there and tie them more firmly to our Ming Dynasty's chariots. That is, one day they really wake up and want to be independent and self-government, and our Ming Dynasty has a big problem, but because of this, they have to still be low and small in front of our Ming Dynasty."
"Your Majesty is far-sighted, I will never be able to do it." Jin Jingnan said with sincerity.
"In addition, Pattaya's territory is divided into those island countries. I think Ning Zeyuan knows how to create conflicts, but Manning Port cannot be divided. I told Ning Zeyuan that Manning Port will build me a free port in that sea area."
"Your Majesty, what is a free port?"
"This is a long way to say, and we will discuss it slowly in the future. The establishment of Manning as a free port is because the geographical location of Yangang Port is still not good, and the second is that it is necessary to balance Manila, and Manning Port can completely bear these two burdens. The role of Manning Port is to be far beyond Manila Port in the future, thus becoming an important piece for us to gradually weaken Manila in this sea area. Manning Port must be under the direct control of the Western Manila Company."
Jin Jingnan nodded slowly.
"Now, Manning Port's role as a free port will not be too obvious, but when we defeat the invading enemy of the West, and attack the continent by the way, and knock on their doors with artillery, his importance will be fully reflected."
"Yes, Your Majesty, there is another thing. What should the slaves who were sold to the Ming Dynasty from Pattaya? Should they be treated the same as the people of the Ming Dynasty in accordance with the previous practice?"
"Of course not." Qin Feng shook his head flatly: "These people must be full of hatred for our Ming Dynasty, so they can only place them in the farms with strict control, divide them into three or six levels, and transform them into batches. Yue Kaishan naturally knows it."
"In addition, the education of Manila must be carried out on a large scale immediately, and the Ministry of Rites will send our students to teach and educate people on a large scale. I will use the time of one or two generations to say our Ming words, write our Ming words, adhere to the customs of our Ming Dynasty, and integrate them into our Ming cultural circle. This is a great achievement. I told Old Man Xiao that he should not always keep his eyes on the country's one acre of three-part land, and educate the barbarians, and he will make even greater contributions."
