The room was silent, and no matter Cao Tiancheng or other officials, they all had unwilling expressions on their faces.

In order to prepare for this war with the Ming Dynasty, the Daqi had been preparing for a long time. It took a lot of effort to mobilize materials and deploy large troops. But now, because of the incident in Bozhou, do you have to stop? Once the big cart of the war is started, if you want to stop, the losses will not be small.

"The Ming Dynasty had just ended the battle against Qin. The soldiers were tired and their fighting spirit was low. The country's financial and manpower were in a relatively empty stage. If you don't take action, it would be difficult to have such a good opportunity again." Cao Tiancheng pondered. "Besides, even though Bozhou has rebelled, its strength is limited after all. What we are worried about is criticism of the government and the opposition, and the aristocratic family's rebellion is not how strong the military power of Bozhou is."

Cao Yun shook his head: "Your Majesty, the war with the Ming Kingdom will either not officially start. Once it starts, it will not be something that can be ended in a short time. There is no conclusion about the military strength of Bozhou. The information of ghosts is quite incomplete. If Bozhou is really incapable, then Cao Gang's huge navy will not be destroyed overnight. You must not guess the opponent. Before the battle, we might as well think of the enemy stronger and more difficult, and make complete preparations to act. Otherwise, it will be difficult to stop at the beginning of the war. Once our war in Bozhou is not going well, we will immediately fall into the dilemma of several battles. Your Majesty, now is the time when Ming Kingdom is weak, but we are also weak. Your Majesty's reform plan has only the last few obstacles left, but it may be a waste of effort."

"Are those families who dare to make trouble at this time? Are you not afraid that I will raise the butcher knife for granted? Are you not afraid that the saliva of the court and the country will overwhelm them?" Cao Tiancheng said angrily.

"Your Majesty, the Great Zhou Dynasty has perished, these aristocratic families are still there, the Tang Dynasty has perished, these aristocratic families are still there, the city has changed its flag, and the dynasties on this continent are constantly changing, but they have always existed. In the minds of these people, the family is the first and the country is the second. In the Da Qi, they are them. If they were replaced by the Ming Dynasty, wouldn't they be them?" Cao Yun advised the emperor as if he was talking about a tongue-in-check.

"If our war is not going well, it is impossible to rule out the possibility of these people taking advantage of the situation." Tian Fen struggled for a long time and finally stood up to support Cao Yun's opinion: "Your Majesty, what the prince said is reasonable. Now the situation in the mainland is clear, which is said to be a three-state alliance, but Chu State is at best just a piece that we can use when we compete with the Ming Dynasty. In the end, it will inevitably be the Da Qi and the Ming Kingdom to dominate the world. Dominating the world is not something that can be done in three or two years. In such a long-term contest, we do not have to care about temporary gains and losses. It is a blessing for a city and a land to gain. It is not a pity. Most importantly, our major policies must be clear, aim at this goal and move forward firmly."

Seeing that the giant qing in both directions of civil and military affairs said this, Cao Tiancheng was silent for a long time and sighed: "A short chess game is enough to tie hands and feet, so let's do it. Since that's the case, who should I send to Ming Kingdom to negotiate with Qin Feng? It must not only be decent, but also complete this task perfectly. This person needs to be brave and resourceful, and his position must be high enough to attract the attention of the other party."

Everyone inside was silent. After a moment, Cao Yun suddenly smiled and said, "Your Majesty, I am a idler now, but I just happened to be able to do this. Under the rule of Qin Feng, the Ming Dynasty is changing with each passing day, and the country's strength is improving rapidly. To be honest, I am also very curious about how he did it."

Cao Tiancheng smiled, but in fact, he thought so.

"If you are willing to work hard this trip, that's the best." Cao Tiancheng said: "When you go to Ming Kingdom, you can just take a look at their army. With your eyes, you can see the flaws after passing the eyes."

"I hope they will let me see!" Cao Yun smiled. "I hope Qin Feng is not so stingy."

"The Ming army is strong, and the benefits of the military are also the first to smelting and steelmaking. Unfortunately, we have not been able to obtain information from these aspects over the years. The craftsmen in Daqi have tried their best to make our steel quality reach their level." Cao Tiancheng's face was a little solemn, "The weapons we obtained from the Ming Dynasty are enough to make us more vigilant. Like armor and the same protective ability, the Ming people are half lighter than ours. This generation

Everyone knows what to say. The combat capability of the warriors has been greatly improved. The war horses can also travel farther because of the reduction of load load. The sharpness of the ring-headed swords standard for the Ming soldiers can be called treasure blades. Our weapons are often cut off by one or two swords, while other weapons such as crossbows and thunder fires cannot be even imitated. Just like the crossbows, I have also seen the structure inside. The complexity is amazing."

"Your Majesty, since we have figured out his inner structure, why can't we imitate it? The power of the Ming army's crossbows on the battlefield is indeed terrifying."

"It's still the level of steel smelting!" Cao Tiancheng sighed: "Our master said that those small gears and mechanisms, because the quality of steel does not meet the requirements, even if they are barely polished, they will be damaged as soon as they are used. Since that's the case, it's better not to use it."

"Try every means to get the technology in the Ming Dynasty." Tian Fen thought for a while and said, "Your Majesty, the iron and steel smelting and steel smelting of the Ming Dynasty were all blocked in the mountains of Daye City in Taiping County. The personnel structure was relatively single and not easy to penetrate. But now they have built a base for iron and steel smelting in Xintong, Qin State. Here, it should be much easier. Wang Jia, Ghost Shadow has to do whatever it takes to get the process of Ming people, as long as he can get the process of Ming people, he needs people and money."

At this moment, Tian Fen forgot that he was about to go to Tianzhu to live.

"Yes, the chief assistant, let's make arrangements immediately after going back, at all costs." Wang Jia nodded.

"Your Majesty, there is one more thing that must be put on the agenda immediately." Cao Yun said: "That is the construction of the navy."

The navy has now become the Achilles Bell of the Great Qi period. Due to the navigation of the navigator, the powerful Da Qi, which originally seemed to be solid, has now become a sieve with air leakage, with holes everywhere.

When no one was there, no one cared about this, but when a powerful navy suddenly appeared on the sea, Daqi immediately felt a huge threat. Thousand miles of sea boundaries could become places for enemy attacks everywhere, which was chilling to think about.

"It's already started!" Cao Tiancheng said angrily: "The chief minister had allocated Cao Gang a million taels of silver just before the New Year, asking him to recruit and train navy first. After destroying Zhou Shuguang, he could snatch Zhou's shipyard and those shipbuilders. These were ready-made and could be put into production immediately, but who would have expected that the ending would be the present."

"Now there is no need to worry about Zhou's shipyard and craftsmen. I'm afraid he would rather burn the shipyard and kill those craftsmen than be cheap. Moreover, these are all on Taohua Island, and we sighed at the sea." Cao Yun said: "But with the ability of Daqi, as long as we make up our minds to do this, how can we not find relevant talents? Find a place suitable for building a shipyard, build the shipyard, publish a document to the world, and recruit shipbuilders. Your Majesty, it will not be too late to make up for the sheep. Otherwise, the longer the time will be delayed, our strength on the water will increase, and this will be a fatal weakness in the future. We can't deploy heavy troops everywhere on the border of thousands of miles, and we can't find so many soldiers!"

"The State of Ming Dynasty has a Maritime Affairs Office, and we have also set up a relevant naval yamen to coordinate the matter." Tian Fen nodded and said, "In the future, the battle between the Daqi and the Ming Dynasty will not only be on land, but also on water. Although we are behind the Ming Dynasty now, with the strength of the Daqi, it is not difficult to catch up. As long as our Daqi makes up our minds to do, we will definitely do it well."

Seeing that the ministers were full of confidence, Cao Tiancheng felt relieved.

"Okay, Cao Yun went to Ming Kingdom in person to negotiate a border conflict between the two sides with the Emperor of Ming Kingdom. The chief minister will set up a naval yamen as soon as possible. Within three years, I hope there will be a fleet that competes with the Ming people at sea. Guo Xiancheng, what are you going to do about the extermination of Bozhou?"

Guo Xiancheng is now the Grand Marshal of the World, so he naturally wants him to take the lead in suppressing the rebellion.

"Your Majesty, we are not clear about the specific situation of Bozhou. How many ships and how many combat power Zhou Shuguang still needs further information. Therefore, I believe that at present, we can send troops to Yizhou in Bingzhou to advance to Bozhou and first show the court's unwilling attitude to the world. After understanding the specific situation of Bozhou, we will attack and defeat it in one fell swoop." Guo Xiancheng said, "What I am concerned about is that Zhou's failure will inevitably flee to the sea, but we are powerless. Next, he will become a real pirate and wantonly invade the states and counties along our coast."

Cao Tiancheng nodded, and what Guo Xiancheng said was naturally the old-fashioned and stern words.

"I can only do this first. As for what you are talking about, you can only strictly control and prevent the coastal prefectures and counties at that time." Cao Tiancheng now finally realized the pain of not having a navy. If someone can't beat him on land, you can run away. Then find your loophole and stab him. What's the reason for preventing thieves for thousands of days?

"Your Majesty, can you try to recruit Zhou?" Cao Yun asked in a low voice: "If you can recruit Zhou, you will have great benefits in Daqi!"
