When Qin Mingtao hurriedly walked into the third hall of the county government. Pang Ning is already at the house. Pang Ning was wearing a sea blue Song pleated shirt. Wear a pair of fine-soled Chenqiao shoes. Hanging on the waist is a beautiful piece of gold and jade. Reflects the wealth and honor. Now he was sitting firmly on the public chair. In his hand, he was playing with a "Northern Pearl" given by a maritime merchant.
This northern pearl is produced in the Songhua River and Nenjiang area. It is the top grade among pearls. It has been a valuable tribute for more than a thousand years. The one on Pang Ning's hand was as thick as a thumb. Glowing with a layer of crystal goose yellow. It's even less ordinary.
Qin Mingtao walked in wearing armor. See Pang Ning's appearance. Qin Mingtao was stunned. He flipped up the front of his skirt and sat on the other side. Pang Ning glanced at the dusty Qin Ming. asked calmly. "Still alive" Qin Mingtao didn't seem to hear this sentence. asked loudly. "It's late! You wish you had come earlier!"
Pang Ning blinked. Don't answer this sentence. He blew on the jade in his hand. Satisfied, he put it into his bag. He glanced at Ming. Pang Ning seemed to be thinking about something. Picked up the tea at hand. Use the lid of the porcelain bowl to stir up the tea leaves. Ning took a shallow sip.
But after taking a sip of tea, Pang Ning suddenly felt a bitter look on his face. He frowned in discomfort. He put down the tea cup angrily. Pang Ning swallowed the tea remaining in his mouth. He glanced at the porcelain pot containing tea leaves unhappily. quite a while. He shook his head helplessly and said.
"What kind of tea is this? Damn it tastes bad! The tea in the teahouse tastes like this!" He glanced at Qin Mingtao, who was expressionless. Pang Ning waved his hand. He said carelessly. "I can't help it! I'm here too early. You must want me to go gambling with you. I'm too late. I'm afraid you will accidentally lose the bet and no one will be able to save you. It's just the right time to come."
Qin Mingtao frowned and said nothing.
Pang Ning took a breath. Zheng asked. "Did you create the refugees in that city?"
Qin Ming nodded. Not much to say. Just look at Pang Ning. Pang Ning saw that this guy was silent. Just ask again. "What? First use the hands of the Tatars to destroy their homeland. Then help them to deceive them into thanking you? Then transport these grateful people to colonize the Liaodong Peninsula. Use their hatred of the Tatars to build an army and Later Jin will fight. Prepare the advanced weapons of the Nanhai Kingdom to slowly encroach on the Northeast Plains?"
Qin Mingtao looked at it. said. "How do you know?"
Pang Ning spat. Cursed.
"I've been in this county for a day. I can tell what happened recently when I heard it. Still can't guess your calculations? It's better now. You know you don't have many people selling cannons, right? You go again Fight Huang Taiji! Not many people believe that you sold cannons to Huang Taiji, right? Those refugees were obviously harmed by you. They all regard you as their savior. I have seen you deceive people before. It turns out that you are so powerful after you deceive once! "
Qin Ming sighed helplessly and waved his hand. "Such propaganda is forced by the situation. There is nothing we can do about it. Should I tell them that I sold cannons to Huang Taiji and destroyed their home and made them enemies of our Nanhai Kingdom? This time I found that Huang Taiji cannot be underestimated. Take a look. It¡¯s better to be careful now. Launch on several large islands near Tea River Island first. Use the strait to resist Hou Jin who has no navy. When you have the strength, you can go to the Liaodong Peninsula. "
Pang Ning shook his head and took another breath. No more talking. Qin Ming asked how many ships came this time? "
Pang Ning replied angrily. "Fourteen cruisers! Eighteen Colao clippers!" Qin Mingtao was happy when he heard this. He said loudly with his eyes shining. "Awesome! You can squeeze 10,000 refugees into that trip! Take time to transport these people to Tea River Island. I want 100,000 people to start farming. You can transport the others back to Nanhai Country in batches."
Pang Ning was stunned. Qin Mingtao asked, looking at him blankly. "Transport it back to the South China Sea? Aren't you going to open the Liaodong Islands?"
Qin Ming looked at Ning in surprise. Chashou said, isn't my first priority in coming to Liaodong to engage in horses and people? Occupying Liao Island and expanding our territory in the South China Sea was done incidentally. "
Pang Ning rolled his eyes. Unhappy said, "I think the first priority in capturing Dongwang is to win the game in the north." Build the foundation of King Qin¡¯s eternal hegemony, right? Get people and horses for the South China Sea. On the contrary, it was done by the way. "
Qin Mingtao glanced at Pang Ning. asked sternly. "You have a way not to start a war with the Ming Dynasty, but also recruit people faster than me? You have a better way to cross the Ming Dynasty's Ningjin defense line and wholesale horses with the Mongols?"
Pang Ning turned his head away. But he didn't answer this question. He changed his words. "Since we are recruiting people for the Nanhai Kingdom, I also have more than a hundred large and small ships. Squeeze them in. It's no problem to transport 40,000 to 50,000 people at a time." Qin Mingtao was stunned. asked. "The numbers have changed again? Why are you so confused?"
Pang Ning was not polite. He said carelessly. "There are only thirty-two warships to help you transport people. There are one hundred and forty-seven ships to help the South China Sea transport people. The entries are clear and the accounts are consistent. It's so unclear! There's no confusion at all!"
&road. "Shi Bo's weapons are not very generous. This is good!"
Li Jinxi¡¯s face was filled with joy. He clasped his fists again and said. "I also found thirty craftsmen who can make Ming military birds. Make some improvements. If not, I can ask these people to make muskets in the style of my flintlock. Even if they can only make armor and swords. At that time, I raised more than 10,000 from ten tenant farmers. People. If I change the water camp, I can add more than ten thousand sword warriors! Don't be afraid of being touched by the Jin army. Hand-to-hand combat."
Qin Mingtao is very interested in self-produced muskets. For a moment, he looked at Li Jinxi with excitement.
"Oh? Can you make a bird gun? Let them try it. It doesn't matter if it doesn't have rifling. Just make a smoothbore one. Whoever can make it will have their name engraved on it. Send someone to test-fire ten rounds. Give the craftsmen money for every one that can be used. Fifty taels. Those who blow up their bodies will be fined fifty taels."
There is still discussion here. Suddenly there was a shout.
"Attention! There's a salute coming!"
"Don't be afraid, folks! The flagship needs a sailing ceremony"
The sailors were shouting on each ship. Reminding the villagers of the upcoming gun salute. One minute later. The Sovereignty's sixty-six guns fired one after another. It hit from the ship to the bow like a barrage of cannons.
That sound was not the crackle of a gun. The bursts of sound were like muffled thunder exploding around me. One shot after another came continuously. It seems to burst people's eardrums. A tongue of fire splashed. The huge roar spread directly to the county seat a few meters away. The frightened people screamed in fear.
Pang Ning is very satisfied with this effect. The Navy left a good first impression on the new citizens of the South China Sea. He stood at the highest point in the stern of the ship. Wearing a navy hat designed by myself. He shouted sternly at the sailors.
"All fleets! Set sail!"
Flags are waving. The entire fleet is fully loaded with the labor force necessary for the further development of the Nanhai Kingdom. Turn the boat around and head towards the vast ocean.
