    The meeting between the two parties was very friendly. In the tent set up by the sea, with soft sand and shells under your feet, and birdsong in your ears, the differences between the two parties could not be reconciled from the very beginning.

    Ezege insisted that the biggest concession is to surrender to the Ming court, but Mancijia must be in their hands.  On the other hand, Yang Ling insisted that Manchuria must return to the country, and the Portuguese army must withdraw.

    However, Portugal can set up a commercial office there or even at the port of Daming, and send government officials and business representatives to do business with the Orientals under the order of Ming, and compete fairly with the merchants of Ming.  At the same time, the Ming government guaranteed the safety and interests of the Portuguese businessmen who came to the Far East. In return, Portugal also had to protect the safety and rights of the Ming Dynasty's ocean-going fleet.

    Ezege flatly rejected this proposal. What he wanted was to control the Indian Ocean and monopolize the trade in the Far East. Although Yang Ling's proposal could also bring huge benefits to Portugal, they would have to face the demands of other Western businessmen.  Competition, and pressure from Eastern merchants, the initiative of trade will not be in their hands.

    The first negotiation between the two parties broke up unhappily. Yang Ling reported the negotiation situation to Emperor Zhengde, and at the same time demanded that the main force of naval forces from all over the country be transferred to Fujian and Guangdong from north to south.  Hurry up and use all your financial resources to manufacture new warships and equip the navy.

    Temporary financial difficulties are certain, but if this battle is lost, it will further fuel the ambitions of Frangji people, and even other Western countries will be eager to try, and come to the East to erode Ming's maritime power.

    The financial consumption caused by the long-term stalemate of the maggots attached to the bones will be even more unbearable, and the domino effect caused by this failure is hard to predict what impact it will have on the political arena of Ming Dynasty.

    In the past, a mulberry-picking girl from the state of Wu accidentally stepped on the foot of a woman from the state of Chu when she was playing a game. In the end, it developed from two families to two cities. In the end, there was a war between the two countries, resulting in the death of more than 100,000 people.  He was captured alive, and the two countries have become enemies since then.

    Times create people, but the times are driven by people. Not everything has historical inevitability, especially in officialdom.  Although Yang Ling has the favor and support of Emperor Zhengde, Liu Jin's faction and the surviving veterans of the Hongzhi Dynasty all look down on him. If they take the opportunity to mobilize national political opinion to force him to step down after he is defeated, I am afraid that all the efforts he has made  As a result, policies and policies will disappear in smoke, so what is inevitable about his failure and the change of the country's destiny?

    Therefore, even though he received a secret report and knew that the imperial court was in financial difficulties, the harvest in various places was not harvested at this time, the lives of the people were difficult, and there were already complaints in some places, so Yang Ling had no choice but to grit his teeth and persevere.

    The common people cannot stand at such a political height, and some things cannot be understood by them. Yang Ling does not intend to make such futile efforts, but the bad news from the economic intelligence still makes him worried.  Similar to the politicians who advocated shock therapy, the pressure they were under was extremely huge, not to mention that this was not a unified decision of the entire Ming court. Many courtiers recognized the superficial obedience of Frangji and did not approve of Ming's foreign military use.

    This time the challenge is not directly aimed at him personally, so there are more things to take into account and worry about. He must get through it no matter what, and the Ming court and people must also get through it. After the pain, a new life will usher in.

    A new life is born.  Yangling's people brought news from Jinling that Ma Lian'er had given birth to a baby girl.  Yang Ling was both happy and ashamed to be a father. He originally expected to rush back to the capital this month, but now it seems that not only Ma Lian'er gave birth to his daughter, he couldn't be with him, even when the young mother gave birth, he couldn't go back to the capital in time.  up.

    This is July, when the weather is the hottest, but the rain is getting less and less, and the crops tend to be dry.  Yang Ling, who is also Fujian's chief envoy, has to take care of civil affairs and farming, and he is very busy. Fortunately, he knows that Ma Lian'er has an older brother by his side, as well as Chu Ling and Chu Yan, two people trained by Cheng Qiyun himself.  Waiting by your side, you don't have to worry too much.

    With the mobilization of the Ming army, the Manchuka pirates are also stepping up repairing warships, training soldiers, especially the ability to coordinate operations of several different forces, and recruiting more than 600 soldiers locally, and sending them to India to transfer troops.  He hasn't come back yet, so the two sides are still negotiating hypocritically while preparing for the battle.

    Yang Ling knew that the war could not be dragged on. The navy's supply consumption was several times that of the army's. The huge army assembled now could not last for a long time with Daming's current financial resources. He had to use the most violent offensive to decide the victory and defeat them once and for all.

    Yang Ling had already received the news that Emperor Zhengde had approved the dispatch of troops to Manchuga, and now his preparations were ready, everything was ready, and the only thing he owed was Dongfeng.

    ? In the latest negotiation, the Ming armyAccurately calculating the ship's position and angle of travel, like a general commanding a battle, he kept issuing orders in various terms that Yang Ling could not understand.  The captain gave orders to the sailors to steer, sail, etc., and corrected the course.

    When fighting on water, a boat is like a horse under a knight's crotch. Whether the boat can be operated with ease will definitely affect the victory of the entire battle, so Yang Ling has great respect for these fighters who don't hold swords and guns.  He nodded modestly, stopped them from saluting, and walked towards the side of the ship with Cheng Qiyun and Adni.

    Due to the different sizes of the hulls and the different forces on the sails, it is impossible to keep another ship at the same speed as Yangling's No. 1 Fuchuan and set up pedals.  At a parallel speed, it was more than thirty feet away to his left.

    Yang Ling glanced at Adeni, said nothing, just nodded, then helped her to get on the fast boat, and together with the sailors hoisted the boat into the water with cables, the boat notified Han Wu's battleship with lights  , while quickly leaning over.

    Yang Ling stood at the bow of the ship and watched. After a while, Han Wu's ship made a conch sound, and at the same time, more than a dozen lights made the same movements in different directions, front, back, left, and right.  Then more than twenty warships suddenly with full sails broke away from Yang Ling's large fleet and sailed forward at full speed.

    Yang Ling looked to the right, and saw centipede boats coming forward and backward, nimbly passing through the gaps in the fleet. The boats were already empty, and all the large and small tanks and rope bamboo rafts they were fully loaded with went out to sea were gone.  .

    Yang Ling chuckled, a bit sinisterly: "If you don't qualify after such a fight, a big bomb will drop from the sky immediately!"

    "Huh?" Cheng Qiyun glanced at him curiously.

    "Yeah!" Yang Ling nodded and glanced back, then walked away mysteriously without explaining.
