In the next few months, neither Yang Feng nor Kang Mazi made much move.

The latter had almost completely wiped out the naval army and basically lost its combat capability. The Ming army did not get ashore, and the tens of thousands of Qing troops in eastern Zhejiang were useless. Therefore, the most important thing was to quickly rebuild the navy, that is, build warships on a large scale, and they were large warships.

The coastal construction was not safe, so it was simply changed to the Yangtze River. Jingkou, Jiangning, Wuhu, Anqing, Jiujiang and Wuchang were shipbuilding sites everywhere. Hundreds of thousands of people were forcibly recruited, digging ship canals, logging in deep mountains and forests, and working as coolies in shipyards. They were almost as likely to catch up with Emperor Yang of Sui to conquer Goryeo, and the entire two lakes and two rivers were miserable.

It is said that Lan Li requires at least one hundred giant ships with more than 3,000 materials, each of which has at least thirty red cannons.

This huge plan has been approved by Kang Mazi.

Moreover, in order to build cannons that can compete with the Ming army, as well as newer muskets that can compete with the Ming army, he also brought Dai Zi back from the Northeast and then rewarded an official of the Minister of Works. In the latter's crying gratitude, he ordered him to preside over the development of new firearms. Of course, if the final result cannot satisfy Kang Mazi, the whole family will not be exiled to Shengjing next time, and it will probably be exiled to the King of Hell.

In addition, he also readily fulfilled his promise to the Dutch.

Although he actually didn't know these promises at the beginning, they were all made by Guo Shenglong in private, and Guo Shenglong had never considered fulfilling the issue. Even if the Dutch wanted to fulfill them later and Kang Mazi disagreed, he could be completely dependent on the debt. At most, he would be dismissed from his post. However, as the wise lord Kang Mazi, as the wise king, would definitely remember him well. Even if he was removed from his post, it would be nothing more than changing the place to become an official.

But Kang Mazi generously fulfilled all of them. Although the Dutch not only failed to complete the task, but also ruined him an earl. From this point of view, this guy deserves to be worthy of living for another five hundred years, which is indeed a hundred times stronger than his grandchildren and great-grandsons.

Not only that, he also gave the Dutch more what he wanted, such as some trade privileges, and of course in exchange for him to sell him warships, artillery and the latest flintlock rifles.

It is obvious that he is ready to continue to follow the path of international cooperation.

Although this is very suspicious of treason.

But as a foreign ruler, he doesn't care whether he sells it or not. Anyway, this country is not theirs.

In fact, Kang Mazi was very clear-headed in this regard, basically the same as the later Concubine Yi. As an outstanding politician of Manchu people, he knew very well that foreigners only wanted money, and at most they wanted insignificant land. But Yang Feng or the Han people who rebelled them wanted their lives! It was not stupid to rather have friends than give slaves to their families, but very smart. If they wanted to continue to rule this colorful world, they had to sell their country.

He even released the wind to consider imitating Macau's laws and formally granting Kinmen to the Dutch as a temporary residence. Of course, the condition was that the Dutch continued to send troops to help the Qing army.

"Marson, what would you end if we chose to cooperate with the Tatars?"

The Dutch East India Company representative Cork threatened directly.

"If you choose to work with the Tatars, is it necessary to sit here?"

Yang Feng said with a sneer.

"Marson, if you continue to negotiate with such an insincere manner, we do not rule out this."

Cork said.

He came to negotiate with Yang Feng to resolve the last incident. Yang Feng stole ten of their armed merchant ships, sank three of them, killed more than 200 of their crew members, and seized more than 1,000 people, causing huge losses to the Dutch East India Company. This issue must be discussed. Although it was their fault for Mok to attack Zhoushan, Yang Feng seized the Haiyan merchant ship first, and it was unreasonable for them to retaliate.

You can take a step back and think that you are unlucky in this issue.

But Yang Feng snatched their ships and seized their crew, and this must be returned to them, and the Dutch East India Company can continue to live their own way.

"Sorry, those boats are my trophy. As far as I know, no country, including you, will return the trophy they received on the battlefield. As for those crew members, of course they can be released, but they must pay their fines first. They invaded my territory very rudely and helped my enemies. I did not stab them to death with bayonets like those prisoners of war in Tartars to feed them. This is already very kind, but the fines must be paid, one thousand pounds per crew, or a Dutch gust of equal value. As for the issue of your cooperation with the Tartars, it is your freedom. I am not interested in it, but I need to remind you that in that case we will be enemies. Don't think of a Dutch merchant ship passing through my sight, and don't count on anything you go."

Yang Feng said.

"You may not know what the name Dutch means?"

Cork said with a gloomy face.

"Of course I know that a small country with a population of more than one million is similar to that of Taiwan Island. Most places are wetlands formed by land surrounding the sea. Without global trade and feeding, you probably can't even eat enough. More than 20 years ago, the French almost destroyed the country. By the way, Louis now probably wants to annex you. Look, I am not a Tatar, and I know no less than you. I also know that Carlos II of Spain is terminally ill. You should understand what will happen if he dies.

Look, I know everything.

I also know that the East India Company does not mean the Netherlands. You are just a group of pirates who gather together to buy equipment to plunder, or we can use more elegant words to call colonists, so please don't scare me with the Netherlands. William III and the Dutch Parliament in London will not pay for your business failure.

You only represent yourself.

The Dutch Navy is indeed very powerful, at least now, but for the East India Company, I really don't think you have anything to be afraid of."

Yang Feng said.

Cork looked at him dumbfoundedly, and it was obvious that it was the first time that he had met a Chinese who knew so much about Europe.

"Mr. Cork, are you willing to continue talking? If you are willing to continue talking, we might as well talk about something meaningful, such as business or something?"

Yang Feng continued.

"What business?"

Cork asked.

"Do you know something called rubber?"

"I have heard that a kind of juice flowing out of a tree in South America is very elastic when solidified and can be made into balls, but it is useless."

"Okay, I want this."

Yang Feng said.

"Marson, what do you want to do with this kind of thing?"

Cork said in confusion.

"You don't have to worry about this. In short, I will give you a method of primary processing, and then you help me make raw materials in South America, or if you want, it's better to transplant from South America to the East Indies. Basically, I'll need as much as you do. In addition to this, there is another thing. Do you know about oil? A black, burning, and very smelly oil coming out of the ground."

Yang Feng said.

"I know, there is production in Myanmar, and it is said that there is also production on Sumatra."

"That's right, I want this too, and I will also provide you with mining equipment."

Yang Feng said.

He wanted to play in industry, and both of them were undoubtedly easy to start. Taking rubber as an example, he could completely make vulcanized rubber and then produce various rubber products to sell. The same is true for petroleum and diesel, but kerosene is easy to obtain. The method of refining kerosene is fractions, which were not replaced by cracking until the beginning of the 20th century, and the fractions...

That's just a scientific term, but it can actually be said to be boiled in a large pot, and the top layer of boiling is kerosene.

The result of these two things was to turn Southeast Asia into a treasure land, and then intensify the competition among countries for it. Now the competition is already very fierce, with the Dutch, British, French, and Spanish crowding there. Yang Feng next made it more tempting and let everyone bite this bone. He controlled the upstream to eat meat and let these hungry wolves fight for the bones. Anyway, the Spanish throne war lasted for fourteen years, and these Asian colonists were all in charge, so that the European war spread to Asia and turned Southeast Asia into the battlefield for these guys.

His goal is to keep the population there down.

It was not difficult for him to seize Southeast Asia after he solved Kang Mazi. Without the Suez Canal, it was difficult for European countries to send too many troops to Asia. They were not qualified to compete with him here. The trouble was how to deal with the monkeys after the occupation. He didn't mind doing tu killing, but it would be better not to do such dirty work by himself. Just leave it to these European colonists.

For example, the first oil field in Southeast Asia was in Ren'anqiang, but it was not the territory of the colonists, and it still belonged to the Tohyu Dynasty in Myanmar.

But were these colonists willing to share the treasure with the Burmese king?

Rubber requires a lot of land to be planted.

If these colonists want to plant rubber plantations in Southeast Asia, they must snatch the farmland of the indigenous people and snatch them a lot from them. They will definitely not buy them.

So did the natives agree?

If these things are not enough, then add something else. In short, Southeast Asia will become a treasure land that everyone covets in a short period of time.

Every man is innocent, but he is guilty of possessing a treasure!

The unlucky ones were the natives there.

"Well, Mr. Marshal, this is indeed a good business, but this does not solve the problem between us. We still reserve the power to take other measures."

Cork said.

Of course, he was just a stubborn duck. Last time Yang Feng wiped out Mok's fleet, the East India Company had already let the East India Company know that this guy was not easy to deal with. Although they thought that the East India Company would definitely be able to solve Yang Feng if he did his best, what if he failed? Even the Tatars were beaten to annihilation by this guy, and Mok's twelve armed merchant ships were no less powerful than the East India Company fleet, and they were still wiped out. It was too dangerous to beat this guy!

"Master, the Tartars have started to move the border again."

The two were talking, and the monk Yimian, who was already in charge of intelligence, rushed in and said.

"Move the boundary?"

Yang Feng was stunned for a moment, and then understood the meaning of the word.

"Kang Mazi has only this ability."
Chapter completed!
