Under tremendous pressure, Stenson had to fully agree to the conditions of the Ming Dynasty.

The Ming merchants had the right to trade freely within the area ruled by Stensen. The Ming people were not bound by the laws of the Principal of Venice. Once the Ming people committed crimes under his rule, they must hand them over to the Ming embassy set up in the Principal of Venice, and the Ming embassy would deport them to the country for trial. The Ming people had the right to open the Ming bank within the Principal of Venice, etc.

Every one of them made Stenson feel extremely humiliated, but he had to agree. Because if time drags on, the morale of his soldiers will be lost. Now everyone is about to return. They are worried that their families who are staying in the local area can survive under the threat of Mattus.

Ordinary officers and soldiers were not aware of what was hidden behind these treaties, but how could Stenson not understand?

Before he set out, he already owed the Ming people a huge sum of money.

The warships and transport ships of the Grand Duke of Venice have almost been destroyed by the Ming people's fleet. If he wants to return to the Western Continent, he needs the Ming people's fleet to transport him, which is naturally not free.

Mingren kindly reminded him that Mattus had purchased a large number of gunpowder weapons such as artillery, mines, grenades and other gunpowder weapons from them, forcing Stenson to borrow money again to buy the same weapons from Mingren to fight Mattus. These days, he has suffered enough of these weapons. How could he not know how powerful these weapons are?

Astronomical debts made Stenson's eyes dark.

The Ming people were not worried that he would be stolen, because under the huge gap in strength between the two sides, no one dared to stolen the Ming Dynasty. Even if the Ming people did not send troops to ask for the money, they only needed to cut off the supply of weapons to Stenson and then vigorously supply them to Mattus, which would be enough for him to lose money.

"Your Majesty's request has been met. I wonder if I can bring His Majesty's body back to the Western Continent. In your words, it is to return to the roots of the fallen leaves. As his subject, I do not want his remains to be left in a foreign land." Stenson made his request. "This is not the request of the Grand Duke of Venice, but Stenson's request. As His Majesty's subject and friend, please let me fulfill my last responsibility."

Qin Feng stared at Stenson for a while, laughed silently, and shook his head: "Duke, I hope you can admit to meeting each other instead of playing with scheming like this. Even if Dance dies, he is still Dance and will not become an ordinary old man. You cannot bring back his body. Maybe one day, Thompson will support his spirit and return to the West Continent."

Stenson looked at Qin Feng with grief and anger: "Thompson helped the spirits and returned westward. Are you going to wait until the crown prince of the Tiger Dynasty is at the end of his journey, right?"

"Yes!" Qin Feng nodded without hesitation.

"According to the descriptions of Mattus, Wieskel, Geisson and other officers of the Tiger Dynasty, your crown prince has a cowardly personality and is far from comparable to Dance. It is simply a model of a tiger father and a dog son. But such a person still has value in existence. We believe that in the Western Continent, the three-legged stalemate between you, Mattus and the crown prince, and then mixed with other small and medium-sized forces is the most stable structure."

Stenson lowered his head in dejection. The more open and honest the other party was, the more he felt lost.

"Dagong, in the next few years, our Ming Dynasty will fight a life-and-death battle with our greatest enemy, Qi. Although we have the determination and determination to win, we do not want the land in the Western Continent to cause us any trouble in these few years."

"What trouble can you get to you now? I'm afraid that not only will it not be trouble, but we will also become your endless source of wealth. You will cruelly draw the blood of our Western Continent to support you in this battle of hegemony, right?"

Qin Feng leaned back and smiled without saying a word. The other party was a sensible person.

Stenson thought for a moment, let out a long breath, and looked at Qin Feng: "Since you don't allow me to bring His Majesty Dansi's body back to the country, then I have a new proposal, hoping to get His Majesty's permission. I believe that this proposal will be extremely attractive and great benefits to your Ming Dynasty."

Qin Feng looked at the other party curiously, "If it was really like you said, of course I would agree. No one can refuse the benefits, right?"

"I owed your Ming Dynasty a huge amount of money. Although I will not pay back the debt, I believe you know that in the next few years, my finances will be in an extremely difficult situation and it will be difficult to repay you in time. In order to get the support of the Ming Dynasty." At this point, he sighed: "Although I know that you will also support Mattus, support the crown prince, and even support a certain other force you suddenly like, I still cannot do without your support. So I thought of a way to repay your money."

"I hope to hear the details."

"I set a city in the Principal of Venice to rent it to the Ming Dynasty for ninety-nine years." A sentence from Stenson said, Xianjian made Qin Feng jump up. How did this guy come up with such a trick?

"In this city, the people of the Ming Dynasty can have their own government agencies, their own law enforcement teams, and their own army. Of course, they cannot step out of this city. This rent, even if I paid all the money I have paid this time, I wonder what you think? Although you don't want to send troops to conquer the Western Continent, I think you will definitely value the economic interests in the Western Continent. So, with such a foothold, the Ming Dynasty will be more at ease in the Western Continent."

"That's true." Qin Feng nodded cautiously, "But I think you must have other additional conditions, right?"

"The conditions are very simple." Stenson said: "The Ming people have the right to trade in our western continent. I hope that the people of our Principal of Venice can also have the right to trade in this city, do business freely, and run factories freely."

At this moment, Qin Feng finally understood Stenson's intention.

"Including the shipyard?"

"Yes, including the shipyard, where will we build the shipyard ourselves, and of course, the merchants from the Ming Dynasty are welcome to build the shipyard." Stenson said.

Stensen's warships have been killed by the Ming Dynasty. Mattus still has dozens of warships. Stensen can imagine that in the next few years, he will inevitably be suppressed by Mattus at sea. If he doesn't think of a solution, he is afraid that a warship and a merchant ship will not float on the sea.

Of course, Qin Feng knew this very well, because after the Ming Dynasty took shape, he had the same style of playing against Qi, which once forced Qi's warships to leave the port at all, making the opponent's maritime line a paradise for the Ming Dynasty, and landed wherever he wanted. Stenson could not change this, so he came up with a good idea.

It's indeed a good idea.

After renting a city to the Ming Dynasty, Mattus was so brave that he did not dare to attack the nominal Ming city and the shipyards in this city. Then, Stenson could slowly restore his fleet. You should know that Venice itself is known as the water city and has deep attainments in the shipbuilding industry. Giving Stenson time, he could really change this disadvantage.

"Duke, although you know what you want to do, as you said, this is a huge temptation, which really makes it difficult for me to refuse. I think I agree to your request." Qin Feng smiled and said, "A city, a 99-year lease term?"

"Yes!"

"Duke, to be honest, I really admire you at this moment. You and Mattus are not of the same level. Compared to you, that guy is a well-developed limbs and simple mind." Qin Feng laughed and said, "I believe that in a few years, you will be able to push Mattus away."

"But what's the use?" Stenson said coldly: "Because you will never see me destroy him. I guess when I gain the upper hand, that is, when I fail."

"The Lord said that, so when you return to the Western Continent, remember to stop as soon as possible, so as not to hurt our kindness. We can tolerate you better than them, but we must not tolerate you to destroy them."

Stenson stared at Qin Feng deeply: "Your Majesty, the people from the Western Continent will not be your plaything forever."

Qin Feng nodded: "Let's wait and see."

Stensen closed his eyes and whispered: "Let's go." The two generals who followed Stensen glared at Qin Feng angrily, raised Stensen up, and walked outside with a short body.

"A very powerful opponent, a very good opponent." Qin Feng murmured as he looked at the other party's back as he walked away.

"Your Majesty, we can make him die of illness silently. Wiskele and even Gaisson are very good candidates to replace him." Lei Wei whispered.

Qin Feng smiled slightly: "That's not OK. I've seen Wiscair. He is not a match for Mattus. Geisen may be able to do it in the future, but he still seems too immature now. The situation is that Mattus has the upper hand. When Stenson's army returns to Venice, it must have become a ruin. Under such circumstances, Wiscair cannot support the overall situation. This opponent is good, but he will be trapped in this situation in his life. He wants to break free and see his successor. Of course, it depends on how our next generation of the Ming Dynasty is like?"

Lei Wei laughed: "Your Majesty, Your Highness, Your Highness, has shown his heroic appearance, and the next generation, I am afraid they can only become the toys in our hands."

"I hope so!" Qin Feng said: "But there is oppression and there will be resistance. Stenson rented a city to us, not only for him to rebuild the navy, but also reminded his Chinese people of this humiliating history at all times!"

Stenson, who was carried out of the house, walked for a while, finally opened his eyes and the two generals carrying him were surprised to see that the strong Stenson actually had tears flowing in his eyes.
