"The envoy from Shell State Island? The rebel General Wood's people?" Qin Feng's mind wandered.
Shell Island's army suffered a defeat in the past few months, so they wanted to win over other forces, so they targeted me? But they have to face the attacks of the three states and islands of the Tas Republic. Even if they have checks and balances among them, the military strength of Shell Island can be
Sooner or later, the economic strength will be exhausted, and it will be defeated sooner or later, so joining the camp of Shell State Island is not a wise choice...
"Oh, does he want to form an alliance?" Qin Feng asked.
"No, he wants us to be his subjects." Taoist priest Liuyun sighed.
Qin Feng snorted, "He thinks so well. We don't need to pay attention to him. Let him continue to rest in the hotel."
"Isn't this bad? The fleet on Shellzhou Island is still very powerful. If they come to attack us, our fleet will definitely not be able to stop them." Taoist priest Liuyun said with some worry.
"Yes, if all their fleets are dispatched, we really can't stop them, but do they dare? Once all their fleets are dispatched, the Tas Republic will definitely raid their hometown. If there are fewer, we are not afraid." Qin
Feng picked up the dishes and chopsticks again, with a relaxed look on his face.
"But our trade routes may be affected." Taoist Liu Yun was much less worried, but he still looked a little sad.
After establishing an alliance with the Tassie Islands, it won't be long before the two places will establish contact and open up trade routes.
"He can cut off our trade routes, but we can't cut off theirs? I remember that they had some dealings with the nobles of North Asia and transported a lot of supplies to them?" Qin Feng immediately took a bite of the mutton.
.
"Besides, this trade route in the Tassie Islands is also dispensable to us. We can also do business with Bei Yamo and Qunyuzhou Island, right? But once their trade route is cut off by us,
Their defeat will come sooner."
Qin Feng's unconcerned look made Taoist Liu Yun feel at ease.
Taoist Liuyun sighed again and said in admiration: "Captain, you really hit the nail on the head, which makes this poor Taoist admire you."
"Hahaha, you can actually flatter me?" Qin Feng joked with Taoist priest Liuyun without any airs.
"But wouldn't it be a bad idea to keep the envoy from Shell Island in the dark? It would damage our reputation as a country of Chinese etiquette." Taoist priest Liuyun suddenly said.
Qin Feng hesitated for a few seconds and said: "Then let the affairs officer Will accompany him. I won't see him. Just say that I just conquered the royal capital and I am very busy now."
"This envoy wants us to be their subjects as soon as he comes. He must be an arrogant master. I don't want to see such a senseless person."
Qin Feng then rinsed the mutton in his hand and saw that there was not much left on the plate beside him, so he said to the chef Yuan Jiang who was waiting beside him: "The mutton is not enough. Let's see if there are any other meats and bring them."
Touching his belly, Qin Feng found that he was now able to eat more and more.
"General Hua Rong." Another greeting from the general and guard came from outside the door, and at the same time, it also reminded the people inside the room.
"Ha, here comes another one." Qin Feng turned to the chef Yuan Jiang with a smile, "Bring me another pair of bowls and chopsticks."
"Okay, Governor."
Hua Rong strode into the study room and came to Qin Feng and the others.
"Captain." Hua Rong cupped his fists and said.
"Come sit down and eat together, it tastes good." Qin Feng pointed to the hot pot in front of him in a good mood.
"Then it's better to be respectful than to obey."
Hua Rong excitedly pulled up a chair and sat down. He took the bowls, chopsticks and a plate of unknown meat from Chef Yuan Jiang. He put all the meat into the hot pot and stirred it quickly with chopsticks.
"Is your mission completed?" Qin Feng put a few pieces of meat into Hua Rong's bowl, and the latter quickly thanked him.
"Captain, I will do it myself, I will do it myself."
"It doesn't matter. I don't have the airs of an emperor. We will all be brothers from now on, and you are the people I trust most, both now and in the future."
Qin Feng had 100% trust in the summoned soldiers of the Ming Dynasty. He believed that even if there was a mountain of swords and a sea of fire ahead, they would rush in without hesitation under Qin Feng's order.
"Captain, no, the superiors and subordinates need to be respectful, otherwise it will be difficult to manage." Hua Rong said no, but his face was full of smiles.
"We just show off outside, so we don't get acquainted with each other in private. I don't want to really follow the path of a god and king, and keep calling me a widower. Doesn't this make me lonely until I die?" Qin Feng thought of this
With a depressed look on his face, the human army in the home world really needs dignity, but he doesn't want to keep a straight face to the summoned soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, so that no one can chat with him in the future, and he can just show off in the future.
.
"Yes, Governor." Hua Rong is also a young boy now, and he quickly integrated into this small group.
"By the way, Governor, there is basically nothing for me here. I heard that there is still war over there at Rat Mountain. I think I have nothing to do now, so I can go and help." Hua Rong put the meat in.
In the bowl, he said.
Qin Feng nodded, "Yes, now we focus on stability. There are still a lot of prisoners in this battle. We strive to turn them into our fighting force as soon as possible. Moreover, the people in the city are unstable and can easily be incited, and crimes can be committed in the city."
Incidents are also happening one after another, and they need to be dealt with quickly.”
"As for the false king Charles and Viscount Winston, the policy we adopt is to let them fight among themselves. When they both lose, we will clean up the mess."
"The progress of the war on the Rat Mountain is really slow. The general, Liu Zheng, is not a general. He can't control the rat leader White Fang. The two people used to have disagreements. Now that the rat leader White Fang has become more powerful, he will not listen to Liu Zheng.
opinions.”
Qin Feng looked at Hua Rong and said, "Just in time, you can practice your skills and try to capture the entire Rat Mountain. There are still a lot of resources inside."
"I'll give you the same authority. As long as it's the resource land you take, you only need to hand over half of it, and you can spend the rest however you want. How about that?"
Hua Rong had a serious expression on his face and cupped his fists and said: "Captain, from ancient times to the present, it is reasonable to pay for two levels above the eight levels. Moreover, the upgrading aura points of Sacol City are huge. If I or future generals take half of the benefits, then Sacol
The construction of Cole City will be very slow, which is detrimental to all our Ming soldiers."
Qin Feng was startled for a moment. He wanted to say that he could handle the upgrade of Sacol City, but looking at Hua Rong with a serious expression in front of him, he nodded, "Okay, then there will be two floors, but your headquarters will have 1,000 soldiers."
Horses, let me equip them for you. You can't refuse anymore. You go and lead the army in the war. You can't do it without elite soldiers and horses."
"I don't know what types of troops you are used to using and what military formations you are used to, so I won't recruit them for you. Besides, you also know what types of troops there are in Sacol City. You can choose whatever you want."
Hua Rong thought for a while and said, "Liu Zheng, the commander-in-chief of Rat Mountain, has more than 900 people. Can I recruit another Ming Shen shooting battalion, Commander?"
Qin Feng's breath suffocated slightly. He didn't expect that he chose the most expensive unit. However, the other units were not expensive units. Generally speaking, it still did not exceed the bottom line that Qin Feng could bear in his heart.
"Okay, it's good. Now you have the quota of generals and guards. In this way, I will be the generals and guards of all generals in the future. Your safety is also very important." Qin Feng waved his hand to stop Hua Rong's newly opened mouth.
Mouth, "That's it."
Thousands of armies are easy to get, but one general is hard to find. With or without an army led by a general, Qin Feng knows exactly what the outcome will be, only defeat and defeat. The soldiers of the Ming Dynasty simply cannot win all the territory, and even if they capture it, they will lose it.
Many soldiers will also have to face constant resistance from the occupied areas in the future.
An army without unity and strategic and tactical thinking is just a group of reckless men. It can win a battle but cannot win a battle or even a war.
Moreover, now, there is a huge difference in combat power between an army led by a Ming general and an army without a general. For Hua Rong and future generals, Qin Feng needs to strengthen their protection.
Well, you can add their followers, such as Taoist priests, assassins, spies, etc...
After Hua Rong thanked him, he suddenly slapped his head.
"I almost forgot. On my way here just now, there was a messenger asking to see you, the Governor. He said he seemed to be from Viscount Winston."
Qin Feng stopped the bowl and chopsticks in his hand and murmured: "Viscount Winston's envoy?"
"They must be trying to solve the problem of how the Puppet King Charles besieged them. They must not be able to withstand it anymore. So they must either surrender or make an alliance. If they want to surrender, there is still room for negotiation. If it is an alliance, they must also show enough sincerity.
.”
"Captain, have you seen him?" Hua Rong asked while eating, seemingly not taking Viscount Winston's envoy to heart.
"Okay, after we finish eating, we'll meet him here." Qin Feng said with a smile.
After an hour of eating and chatting, the study finally returned to its original appearance.
At this time, a haggard-looking middle-aged man was brought into the study. He had a dark face, two mustaches on his lips, a black turban on his head, and a black oval gemstone on it. He was also dressed in black.
, without any gorgeous ornaments, it looks simple.
"Nice to meet you, King of the West, Conqueror of Dougherty City."
The envoy of Viscount Winston bent down and saluted. Originally, he only wanted to say King of the West, but when he arrived at Greenstone Town after all the hard work, he learned that Qin Feng was not there, and he had to go all the way to Dougherty in a dusty way.
It was only then that he knew that Qin Feng had captured the royal capital, and then he added the title of conqueror of Dougherty City.
At the same time, he sighed in his heart, I am afraid that the previous alliance requirements no longer apply to the current situation.
"I am Tie En, the envoy from Hongyan Town on behalf of Viscount Winster. I came to your territory this time to discuss the alliance with you."
"Hello, Mr. Messenger." Qin Feng casually sat on the chair where the puppet king Charlie used to sit, and responded calmly with an expressionless face.
"Can you tell me all the conditions and requirements for the alliance?"
"You know, I and my people were almost busy after we just captured Dougherty City. Please briefly explain Viscount Winston's request. If I think it's good, I will ally with you. If I don't feel that way,
Okay, I won’t ally with you anymore. Everyone should save some time, after all, we are all very busy.”
