Chapter 1366: Ambition again

Ning Zefeng took a deep breath, and his chubby face turned red as blood rushes. The fat on his face actually trembled like waves, and his breathing became more and more rapid. Jia Fangzhou was worried that he would fall to the ground due to excessive excitement in the next moment. If that was the case, wouldn’t the Ming people laugh?

"It doesn't matter, are you?" He reached out to support Ning Zefeng.

"It doesn't matter, it's just too excited, too excited. I'm finally going to see Tian Ri again. Hahaha, seeing Tian Ri again, my good brother, this result is something you never expected?" Ning Zefeng slapped Jia Fangzhou's hand that stretched out, laughed loudly, rolling around the room like a madman. The tables and chairs and decorations in the room were beaten and kicked by him, and they were shattered. Ning Zefeng was like a madman at this moment.

Jia Fangzhou looked at Ning Zefeng quietly and vented until he finally calmed down, gasping heavily, sitting in the middle of the ruins, and then took a step. "Mr. Ning, the suffering has passed. Qi State is your place to show your skills. Before leaving, Commander Cao has some instructions."

Ning Zefeng supported the ground with both hands and climbed up from the ground with some difficulty. Looking at the mess all over the ground, he said embarrassedly: "General Jia, this is not a place to talk. Please go to the study below to talk."

When you step into Ning Zefeng's study, Jia Fangzhou's eyes first came a row of wooden frames that ran from the ground to the roof. Each frame was a model of a boat, both large and small, with different shapes, ranging from sampans to three-story warships, which made people dazzled. What Jia Fangzhou was particularly concerned about was that one of the frames was a model of the main warships of the Ming Dynasty. The main warships of the Ming Dynasty were very different from the main warships of the countries in the mainland before. Even Jia Fangzhou, an outsider, could tell at a glance.

This is where a navy talent should stay, Jia Fangzhou said in his heart.

"General Jia, please sit down!" Although it was only a short distance from the living room to the study, Ning Zefeng was already out of breath.

"Mr. Ning, can you do things in your body... in the future? How did it become like this?" Jia Fangzhou asked with a frown.

Ning Zefeng laughed, stretched his limbs, and spread himself on a thick chair. "General Jia laughed. I was not like this before. I was stronger than General Jia. However, the tiger was bullied by a dog in the sun, and the phoenix was not as good as a chicken. I fell to this stage. If I didn't like this, I'm afraid I won't live today. You will come to save me. I think now, whether my brother or the Ming court, I regret not killing me earlier."

Jia Fangzhou smiled, Ning Zefeng's words made sense, and now the Ming people must have regretted it.

"Don't worry, General Jia, soon, soon, you will see another Ning Zefeng." Ning Zefeng gritted his teeth, and a trace of hatred flashed in his eyes. "I wonder what Lord Cao wants to ask me?"

Jia Fangzhou adjusted his emotions and sat opposite Ning Zefeng. It was difficult not to be attracted by his huge body. Such a fat guy is really rare.

"Mr. Cao asked me to tell you that the foundation of the Navy in Daqi has been destroyed. Some shipyards were left with only one rack. The craftsmen were lost in large quantities. More importantly, they did not have the technology to build warships at all. The Zhou family in Bozhou has now rebelled. So if we want to build a navy, we must start everything from scratch. Master Cao wants to know what good suggestions Mr. Ning has?"

"That's it!" Ning Zefeng touched his round chin and frowned. "The most important thing in shipbuilding is a craftsman who knows skills. Navy soldiers can be trained and trained in one year. After a few battles, they can hone an elite force. However, the training of craftsman is not something that can be achieved overnight."

"How many more people can you call?" Jia Fangzhou asked.

"The Ming people allowed me to recruit old subordinates?" Ning Zefeng asked in surprise.

"This is one of the conditions. As long as Mr. Ning puts out a list, we will ask them for these people. Of course, Mr. Ning, these people must be loyal to you and are willing to follow you to Qi State. We do not want Ming people to take this opportunity to mix spies in you, so it is best to have few and exquisite people."

After hearing this, Ning Zefeng was immediately excited: "This is easy to deal with. When I collapsed, my group of people did not end up well. They were basically excluded by my younger brother. In addition to my direct line, there are also wives who are also very unsatisfied now. I will give a list. As long as Mr. Jia can find them, they are willing to follow me to Qi to create new glory. Among these people, there are great craftsmen and generals who command the war. With them, we will achieve twice the result with half the effort."

The excited Ning Zefeng immediately began to write down his names on the paper. In half a quarter of an hour, a list of hundreds of people appeared in front of Jia Fangzhou.

"I just don't know where they are now? Some of them are in Ming State, but some are afraid they are still in Quanzhou, Chu State." Ning Zefeng said.

"Don't worry, as long as they are still in the world, we can find them." Jia Fangzhou said with a smile: "Mr. Ning can trust our ghosts' strength. The Great Qi court is now recruiting craftsmen in China. The conditions are good, and there must be brave men under heavy rewards. I believe that there can be many talents. As soon as Mr. Ning arrives in Qi, he can work hard. Mr. Ning, how much do you know about the current navy in the Ming Dynasty?"

Ning Zefeng sighed regretfully, "I am in Yuejing City, which means I am in a prison cell. This house is my cell. You can still find out some ordinary news, but the others are at a loss. I heard that the Ming people have even built a fifth-story warship?"

"Yes, I have seen that warship in Baoqing Port. It is a huge mountain-like behemoth. When I glanced at it, I felt extremely oppressed." Jia Fangzhou said. "Mr. Ning, can we build such a warship?"

"Don't think about it within three years!" Ning Zefeng shook his head, "The fifth-layer warship is not a simple amplification of the third-layer warship. There are too many technical things involved. We do not have corresponding technical reserves and cannot be made at all. Now the Daqi is above the navy, so we can only start from the most basic thing honestly. However, as long as I can summon the old subordinates, there is still no problem in manufacturing the third-layer warship."

"The main warships of the third-layered Ming Kingdom have undergone tremendous changes in recent years." Jia Fangzhou said: "We also have some people in the Ming people's navy. According to the information we have heard, the Ming people's navy has now greatly improved in driving warships. A three-layered warship only requires fifty people to allow them to drive at extremely fast speeds."

Ning Zefeng gasped and was stunned for a while before he said in a daze: "Have my brother finally succeeded?"

"Mr. Ning is not unfamiliar with this?"

"Of course it's not unfamiliar. Because our Ning family has been committed to researching in this direction before." Ning Zefeng sighed: "General Jia also knows that our Ning family used to be pirates. How can the combat capability of warships be maximized at sea is a problem we have been studying. If a three-layer warship wants to drive it at extremely fast speed and can operate well, it requires nearly 200 people to row. One ship can really invest in combat. There are up to 100 people in each ship. The three-layer warship is equipped with 300 people, which is already the limit, so we have always wanted to use information about the agency to increase the power of the ship and reduce the number of people rowing. Unfortunately, we have never succeeded. There are too many things involved here. Even though our Ning family is big and big, we cannot complete all aspects of work. In the end, we gave up."

"The Tiangong Office of the Ming Dynasty!" Jia Fangzhou said. "It must be them. The Ming Dynasty's warship transformation is concentrated in this year. A year ago, it happened to be the day when the Tiangong Office of the Ming Dynasty was established."

"It only takes fifty people to drive the ship, that is to say, a three-layer warship, they can have 250 people to fight." Ning Zefeng looked at Jia Fangzhou: "General Jia, if this is the case, then we will be very urgent in time. We cannot spend a lot of time studying, so we need their drawings, or have a physical object of their warship. As long as I see this thing, I believe it is not difficult to imitate it."

"This is not within the scope of the transaction, and the Ming people will never hand over these things. It seems that we can only find a way for ourselves." Jia Fangzhou said. "Apart from this, is there any other way for my Daqi Navy to fight them?"

"If we can't get these latest technologies, we will inevitably be at a disadvantage in water combat. Then we can only overwhelm the quality by quantity, and use more ships and more manpower to continuously consume the other party with locust tactics." Ning Zeyuan said: "Of course there are solutions, but the cost is quite high."

Jia Fangzhou clapped his hands: "As long as Mr. Ning said there was a way, that would be great. Our Daqi does not need to decide the victory or defeat with the Ming people at sea. All we need is to hold them up on the sea. In the end, the Ming Qi fights for hegemony, and ultimately, he will decide the victory or defeat on land. Mr. Ning, Mr. Cao said that as long as our Daqi has a fleet that can appear on the sea and make the Ming people less unscrupulous, it is Mr. Ning's great credit."

Ning Zefeng said coldly: "I don't think so. I will defeat my brother again at sea to let him know that by virtue of my talent alone, I am far better than him. He is just better luck."
