Wengbell looked at Chen Ci and said sarcastically: "General Chen, we know that your two sons are in high positions in the Ming Dynasty, but you don't need to protect them like this, right? They are not in the navy. Even if we wipe out the Ming Dynasty Navy here, it will not affect your son. At most, it will affect their status in the Ming Dynasty. Even if they are dismissed from office by the Ming Dynasty emperor, they can come to us. Can he be less prosperous and wealthy?"

Chen Ci was furious: "Where are you still when I was assisting His Majesty the King with the Prime Minister? Are you still trying to make a living under the remnant of Kanu? What qualifications do you have to teach me a lesson? Umberla, do you know how big the Ming Kingdom is? Do you know how powerful the Ming people's navy is? One of their counties is bigger than our entire Manila. How powerful the navy is? Didn't you see it when you were a navy general under Kanu?"

Umberla was revealed by Chen Ci that he was most reluctant to mention, and was furious: "So what can the Ming Dynasty be like? Can he still swim over? Just five or six warships scared the general so much that he dared not move forward. So what if he was willing to protect him? As long as the prime minister greeted him, we could gather hundreds of warships here, and what if he destroyed him? Even if his navy came from afar, we have the advantage of home court, the right time, place, people and people are on our side, where are we afraid of him? This is the best opportunity for our Manila to unify this sea area, how can we let it go easily?"

Chen Ci was furious and pulled out the sword from his waist with a choke. Weng Beira was not showing any weakness, pulled out the sword from his waist and confronted Chen Ci.

"Okay, they are all generals. What kind of morality is it to be in such a misconduct in front of His Majesty? Put away the guys." Luo Yishui shouted angrily: "Unbel, apologize to General Chen."

Onbera glared at Chen Ci, without any movement.

"Why, don't you even listen to my words?" Luo Yishui said gloomyly.

Onbera's face turned red and blue, and after a while, she got into the sheath and bowed to Chen Ci: "General Chen, he offended the last general without saying anything."

Chen Ci sighed and turned to look at Luo Yishui: "Prime Minister, what kind of person Ning Zeyuan is? You don't know. Do you think he is an arrogant man? Although I don't know why he came to Manila with these warships to show off his power, is this his intention to show weakness? Is the huge navy of the Ming Dynasty hidden somewhere on the sea? If he really had this intention to lure us to take action and annihilate us in one fell swoop, then we openly turned against each other at this time, wouldn't it be the same as the other party's wishes?"

Luo Yishui pondered without saying a word.

"Besides, with the intelligence capabilities of the Ming Kingdom's Eagle Nest, it is impossible not to know what we have done this year. Even though we know that we are in a distracting way, he still dares to do this. Wouldn't there be no silver here? I hope the Prime Minister will consider it, and Chen will say so. If the Prime Minister decides to fight, Chen is not good at fighting, so he can only reorganize his arms and prepare for the military, and wait for the Ming people to attack Manila's land before they fight." Chen Ciluo said this with grief and anger, took a few steps back, and sat on the chair without saying anything.

After hearing Chen Ci's words, Chalan was quite moved: "The Prime Minister, General Chen's words are not unreasonable. Ning Zeyuan was a famous general of the Ming Dynasty. How could he make such a big mistake?"

"The Ming Dynasty is determined to unify the world. Now it seems to be peaceful with Qi, but in fact it is constantly in secret. The people of Qi have been committed to developing naval commanders over the years, and their strength is quite strong." Luo Yishui said slowly: "In theory, the Ming people should not dare to send all their naval commanders to attack us at this moment. After all, unifying that continent is Qin Feng's will. For him, we are just a transit station for products and a production site for raw materials. This is also the reason why I want to take a risk. Because there is only one opportunity, and after passing this village, there will be no such store."

Umberla nodded repeatedly: "The minister of the country is reasonable."

"Once the Ming Dynasty unified that continent, he would free up his hands to deal with us. If we were still as scattered as we are now, we would not have any resistance at all. This is why I was eager to unify this sea area. Only by combining all our strength can we resist foreign invasions."

"Or the Ming people were defeated by Qi State, that would be even better." Umberla added.

"If Ming State was defeated by Qi, the emperor of Qi would not have the ambitions of Ming State Qin Feng, and he would not have the long-term vision. Moreover, their maritime strength is far inferior to that of Ming Dynasty, so we will have more time." Luo Yishui said: "Old Chen, I don't want to live in the shadow of Qin Feng all the time. I don't want Manila to become a group of sheep raised by Ming people. They are unscrupulous in pulling our wool anytime and anywhere! If he lets him pull it up, the more we go on, our resistance will become weaker. You have also seen it, even if it is not enough,

In our Manila, they are also starting to dig our walls. They open schools, and let our children enroll for free, learn their languages, and learn their customs. Their businessmen are all over our Manila. These merchants build bridges and roads, provide disaster relief and help the weak, which is better than our court. The Ming people have a better reputation here. Tell me, if this continues, our Manila will be assimilated by them without realizing it, and then voluntarily become their enclave. Lao Chen, are you willing to build this country together and make wedding dresses for others?”

Chen Ci's face was bitter: "Of course he was unwilling to give up, but the opponent was in a big way. In addition to working hard to deal with it, it was really unwise to fight against it."

"The result of hard work is the ending I mentioned earlier." Luo Yishui said decisively: "The Ming people are already familiar with this. Old Chen, this is our only opportunity. Now the Ming people will never dare to march towards us in large numbers. Once they are trapped in the quagmire of fighting with us here, how could the Qi people miss such a good opportunity? Qin Feng is a wise man, how could he lose his big fortune because of the small? Once we unified this sea area, I think we have ten years to rest. Because the battle between Ming and Qi cannot end in three to five years, and once they have a war, the Ming Kingdom is afraid that it will rely more on us in terms of finance. At that time, we have enough capital to negotiate with them. Opportunities must not be missed, and we will never come again!"

Chen Ci was silent for a while, "Major, even if you want to start a war, I don't think you can't be in a hurry. Ning Zeyuan is here. The first goal must be Pattaya. We might as well wait and see first. If they struggle to fight Pattaya, we can intervene in time before we can be safe."

Seeing that he convinced Chen Ci, Luo Yishui immediately smiled. Chen Ci has always been loyal to Luo Family. Although the two have had great differences in their governance ideas over the years, Luo Yishui has never suspected that Chen Ci would betray him.

He also hopes that Luo and Chen Ci can start and end well.

"What General Chen said is deeply my heart!" Luo Yishui laughed relaxedly: "Pattaya has already prepared for war, and has gathered more than a hundred warships of various types outside the thirty main warships, and we will add another force to him."

"The Prime Minister is saying..." Chen Ci was a little confused. Didn't Luo Yishui just talk about waiting and watching? Why did he join in in the blink of an eye?

"Over the years, we have also quietly supported some pirates, especially in the past year, wars have occurred frequently, and the waves of resisting the Ming people in this sea area have been constantly driven out of the sea. Many people have been driven out of the sea by the Ming people. These people are all available to us. At that time, they will participate in the Pattaya naval battle. In this way, Pattaya can gather about fifty main warships. With such a force, I want to see how the Ming people fight with them?"

"The Prime Minister of the State is a clever idea. The Ming people either turn around and run away, or fight to the death with Pattaya. We can sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight first, and finally we will clean up the remains. No matter who wins, we will be our opponent in the end? By then, Pattaya is over, and no one dares to fight us in this sea area. The Ming people are annihilated by us, and we cannot take out our hands to deal with us for a while. We will gather all the power of this sea area and work hard to develop the navy in order for the Ming people to attack in the future." Umberla said proudly.

Chen Ci was silent for a while. Theoretically, Luo Yishui's strategy was fine.

"So, will we go to the Yangang gathering this time or not?" Chen Ci asked.

"Go, of course you have to go, but Your Majesty the King cannot go. If Ning Zeyuan is ill-hearted and detains His Majesty the King, then we will have no choice." Luo Yishui looked at Chen Ci and said slowly.

Chen Ci stood up and nodded: "I understand, what the Prime Minister means is to let me go and see?"

"Old Chen, your two sons are both officials in the Ming Dynasty. I don't doubt you, and I have never doubted you. You have to believe me in this." Luo Yishui said frankly: "We are just different in the theory of governing, so it is most appropriate for you to go. Ning Zeyuan is polite to you. You can also use this to find out the reality of people and let us have a clear understanding of our hearts."

Chen Ci looked at Luo Yishui deeply, "Okay, I'll go. Since the Prime Minister believes in me so much, I'll go and see what the Mingren wants to do?"

Luo Yishui laughed and said, "I knew, Lao Chen, you won't let me down. I have prepared the gift. It's very rich. First, the gift is then the soldiers. After you go, you must explain to me and His Majesty the King a good reason for not coming."

Chen Ci smiled bitterly: "Why explain? They knew very well in their hearts."

Luo Yishui laughed, and Chalan naturally could not go. Ning Zeyuan was really detained, and Luo Yishui would have no flag to carry. He couldn't go even more. If he really went, Ning Zeyuan might really do it.

"Then I'll set off now." Chen Ci said: "I think Zhou Yangfan must go to Yangang, so I'll take his warship!"

Chen Ci left the Prime Minister's Mansion with some excitement.

"Major, will Chen Ci take this opportunity to betray me, Manila and join the Ming people?" Umberla said with malicious intentions.

"Shut up!" Luo Yishui glanced at him coldly, "You can call Chen Ci's name, call him General Chen."

Onbera said a little aggrievedly: "Prime Minister, I'm worried that he would reveal our secrets."

"This is not a secret! Ning Zeyuan is very clear about what we want to do." Luo Yishui snorted coldly: "If Old Chen wants to leave, he will speak to me in front of him and will never do anything to do at night. He will not betray me after leaving me. You must remember this clearly for me. I will not allow you to be rude to him anymore."

"The last one understands." Onbera lowered her head.

"Your Majesty, are you satisfied with this arrangement?" Luo Yishui turned around and looked at Chalan.

"The Prime Minister of the State is in charge of the tent, and I am very satisfied." Chalan nodded repeatedly.
