"No mention of the alliance?"

Fang Xing received the news when he returned to the capital and then went to the Ministry of Rites.

"Yes, they just mentioned the matter of trade and alliance. It would be fine if they knew that the Ming Dynasty was not keen on."

Hu Yi and the Three Kingdoms envoys had already met, and they even asked a lot of questions tentatively.

"They are keen on trade like merchants, and they are also tentatively asking if they can buy several ships in the Ming Dynasty. This is funny."

Hu Yi smiled and said, "We don't know their wishful thinking, so the official directly declined. As for the alliance, the envoy of the Porcelain Flower said yesterday that he would ask the king to make the decision."

The alliance of the Ming Dynasty!

Fang Xing and Hu Yi smiled at each other and said, "They are not worthy. Hong Bao's performance in Taixi makes people sigh and applaud. He made the Ming Dynasty's reputation resound throughout Taixi, but it brought a disadvantage..."

"The Taixi people are afraid of us!" Fang Xing was a little helpless, "But the Ming Dynasty would not be afraid of their reaction."

Hu Yi nodded in agreement with this judgment and smiled and said, "It is a good thing for them to fear the Ming Dynasty, so we will save the knocking. Think about it, if we want to knock them, our navy must start from the Ming Dynasty to Thailand. It will take less than two years to talk about it, which is too much."

"The profits will be greater." Fang Xing said: "Taixi was eager to trade with the Ming Dynasty. The Ming Dynasty's goods were things used by gods. Once they traded, the Ming Dynasty could obtain many more important things, which were more important to plunder their wealth."

"But I know that you Xing and Bo are not just people who look at interests. The Taixi people are ambitious. According to Hong Bao, they are unwilling to be trapped there, and it is difficult to fight with the meat fans. The most likely thing is to go by the sea.

But the Ming Dynasty is also expanding at sea. In this case, conflicts will arise sooner or later, from quarrels to using knives and guns, and finally the national war... that's not far away."

Fang Xing went into the palace to see Zhu Zhanji. When he saw the big map hanging in the room, Zhu Zhanji asked, "Do you think it's not right?"

Zhu Zhanji said sideways: "Those Thais are wild and hard to tame. Our fleet is here to visit. What will happen to them while panicing?"

"Prepare for the future!"

Fang woke up here and wanted to talk about this problem. He walked to the map, paddled his fingers along the Hulong Bay, and said, "The Thais have never been able to find a route. Their hearts that they want to expand can burn this sea area, so I decided that they are acting."

Zhu Zhanji touched his short beard and his eyes wandered on the map, and finally stopped at Taisie.

He stretched out his finger and pointed at Lisbon and said, "They are here, and this prince is the most determined in sailing and external exploration, and is also the host.... What is he here to do?"

His eyes were cold, Fang Xing said, "Henry should have come to spy on the Ming Dynasty, especially the construction of ships. However, Hong Bao was smart and threw them onto the grain ship, and blocked them all the way in the cabin under the deck..."

Zhu Zhanji said: "They didn't gain much. At most, they had a vague understanding of the Ming Dynasty. Do you think... should you support them or send them back?"

Fang Xing coughed dryly, and then said, "If they can't go back, Taixi will become a mortal enemy with us."

Zhu Zhanji said disdainfully: "Are we still afraid of this?"

Fang Xing pointed to the meat fan and said, "But we still have to pay attention to this side. If there are great enemies in both directions, I won't worry about defeating me, but I'm just hesitating about money and food."

"Are you strong and powerful?"

Zhu Zhanji said with a headache: "Wars between the two sides will start at the same time. That expense will make Xia Yuanji hang himself immediately. I, the emperor, will probably become a tyrant in the future."

"Now the cost in Jinling is very high. The construction of warships has just been rolled out, so the cost will be even greater in the future. Xia Yuanji is already hinting that I will not spend much money in the past few years. I said that in the past few years, I tried to be frugal and enter less people. Those palace maids were dismissed and returned home at the age of the age of the palace...."

The cost in the palace is indeed quite large, but most of it is on people.

No matter how awesome the emperor and his family are, they can only consume so much, so simplifying the manpower in the palace is the king.

"The vassal king is also a waste of money, but if it is safe overseas, it is naturally not a problem, so in the final analysis, the navy is the key."

Originally, the Ming Dynasty's fleet was divided into two, one was the fleet of voyages to the West ruled by Zheng He. This fleet was huge in scale and the most powerful.

The other team is the navy fleet under Fu Xian, which mainly cruiss in the near sea and also cracks down on smuggling.

The two fleets are currently integrated, but according to the plan, they will still be part of several fleets in the future, with different directions of responsibility.

The goal of reorganizing the navy was actually Tessie from the beginning.

Fang Xing looked at the Long Bay and said, "The Thais are not fools. They will definitely follow Hong Bao's fleet from afar. If they walk there close to the coast, they must pass through Long Bay and then turn around. For them, it is... a new world..."

...

In the Huitong Hall, Dok wants to return to China.

There were three people in the room and a general interpretation, a pot of tea in the middle of the table, and three cups of tea were steaming, subtle.

Doc smelled the fragrance of the tea and said intoxicatedly: "This is a gift from God, and the king must be willing to exchange it with the same weight of silver."

Henry glanced at Abel who was buried and said, "We are just going to see the situation in the Ming Dynasty. It seems that staying in Peking now is wasting time..."

Henry agreed with Dock's proposal to return home, and only Abel was left.

When Doc saw Abel as if he was wandering around, he sarcastically said, "Don't think that the Ming people would take Frank as an ally. The count did not take you seriously. The Ming Emperor did not take you seriously either. You can talk about the ally! It's gone!"

Abel moved for a moment, not angry, but just murmured: "Their ship is going to check, so what are you in a hurry?"

Well……

The embarrassment made Henry turn his head, thinking that his dignified sailing pioneer would make such a low-level mistake. It would be embarrassing to spread it!

Dock smelled the tea fragrance again and sneered: "Don't they have a few ships? There are a few more ships."

Abel raised his eyebrows and said, "I'm afraid that more than a few ships will stop!"

Dock felt a chill in his heart and asked, "Do they want to send out a huge fleet?"

Henry nodded and said, "The last time I was a small fleet, and it was a mission, but in fact I was looking for the waterway, so they were very alert."

"That's right."

Abel leaned back a little, and the chair was raised, "Doke, the next time they went, it would shock the whole of Tessie, yes."

With a puff, the front legs of the chair fell to the ground, Abel's body shook, and said seriously: "I bet that when they go again the second time, it is the moment when they show their fangs. What should we do?"

The atmosphere was a bit solemn, but Henry was relaxed.

"Henry, you are a veteran of navigation. Tell me, what should we do?"

Dock seemed a little worried, but Abel continued to stare blankly.

"Stop pretending!"

Henry looked at them and said, "I bet that after I knew that the Mingren had arrived in Taisie from the new route, both of you were thinking about exploring the route, so what are you put on?"

He saw that Dok and Abel still had no embarrassment on their faces, and he said coldly: "You have joined forces, are you right?"

Abel and Doc looked at him expressionlessly.

Henry sneered: "It's true, yes! Compared with those territories, the New World is obviously the plump swan meat, waiting for you to occupy it and then reap wealth..."

Dock counterattacked lightly: "Don't there be Lisbon?"

Abel also said: "Maybe your people are the fastest, but you may have discovered the waterway and are searching for a new world at this moment."

Henry picked up the teacup, took a sip, closed his eyes as if he was savoring it.

After a long time, he sighed, "So many good things!"

"yes……"

“That’s right…”
