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

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

Coastal construction is not safe, simply change to build on the Yangtze River, Jingkou, Jiangning, Wuhu, Anqing, Jiujiang, Wuchang are full of shipbuilding sites, hundreds of thousands of people were forcibly conscripted, digging boat canals, into the deep mountains and old forests to cut wood, in the shipyard as coolies, are about to catch up with the Sui Yang Emperor to conquer Goryeo, the whole two lakes and two rivers are miserable.

It is said that Lan Li demanded the construction of at least 100 huge ships of more than 3,000 materials, and each warship had at least 30 red-coated cannons.

This large-scale plan has been approved by Kang Mazi.

And in order to build a cannon that can compete with the Ming army, as well as a newer musket that can also compete with the Ming army, he also brought Dai Zi back from the northeast, and then rewarded an official of the Ministry of Works, and ordered him to preside over the development of new firearms in the latter's crying and weeping thanksgiving, of course, if the final result is not satisfactory to Kang Mazi, the next time it will not be the whole family exiled to Shengjing, it is estimated that he will have to be exiled to the Lord of Yama.

In addition to this, he was happy to fulfill his promise to the Dutch.

Although he actually didn't know these promises at the beginning, they were all done by Guo Shenglong in private, and Guo Shenglong didn't think about the fulfillment at all, even if the Dutch wanted to fulfill it afterwards and Kang Mazi didn't agree, then it was completely okay to repay the debt, and at most he would be removed from his post to atone for his crimes, but as the Holy Lord Mingjun Kang Mazi would definitely remember him well, even if he was dismissed, it was nothing more than a change of place to be an official.

But Kang Mazi was very generous in honoring it all, although the Dutch not only failed to complete the task, but also buried him an earl, and from this point of view this fellow deserved to live another five hundred years, a hundred times stronger than his great-grandchildren.

Not only that, but he also gave the Dutch more things they wanted, such as some trade privileges, in exchange for which he asked the Dutch to sell him warships, artillery, and the latest flintlock pistols.

It is clear that he is prepared to continue on the path of international cooperation.

Although this is very suspicious of betraying the country.

But as a foreign ruler, he didn't care if he sold it or not, anyway, this country was not theirs in the first place.

In fact, Kang Mazi is very sober at this point, basically similar to the later Yi Guifei, as an outstanding politician of the Manchurians, he knows very well that what foreign devils want is nothing more than money, at most they want insignificant land, but especially Yang Feng or the Han people who rebelled against them want their lives! It's not stupid to be a slave with a friendly country, but it's very smart, and they have to betray their country if they want to continue to rule this fancy world.

He even let out the wind that he would consider following the example of Macao and officially giving Kinmen to the Dutch as a temporary residence, of course, on the condition that the Dutch continue to send troops to help the Qing army.

"Your Excellency, what will happen to you if we choose to cooperate with the Tatars?"

The representative of the Dutch East India Company, Cork, threatened very directly.

"If you choose to work with the Tatars, do you need to sit here?"

Yang Feng said with a sneer.

"Your Excellency, if you continue to negotiate with such insincerity, we do not rule out this."

Cork said.

He came to negotiate with Yang Feng to settle the last matter, Yang Feng robbed them of ten armed merchant ships, sank three, killed more than 200 of their crew, and also detained more than 1,000 people, causing huge losses to the Dutch East India Company, this issue must be discussed, although it was their fault that Moke came to attack Zhoushan, but Yang Feng seized the Haiyan merchant ship first, and their retaliation cannot be said to be unreasonable.

This question can be taken back and considered unlucky.

But Yang Feng had robbed their ships and seized their crews, which had to be returned to them, and the Dutch East India Company could continue to do their part.

"I'm sorry, those ships are my trophies, as far as I know, no country, including you, will return the spoils of war obtained on the battlefield, as for the crew, of course, they can be released, but they must pay their fines first. They have so impudently invaded my territory and helped my enemies, and I have not stabbed them to death with bayonets like the Tartar prisoners of war, which is already very merciful, but a fine must be paid, a thousand pounds sterling per crew, or the equivalent of guilders. As for your cooperation with the Tartars, it is your freedom and I am not interested, but I need to warn you that in that case we are enemies, and you don't want a Dutch merchant ship to pass by me, whatever you are going to do. ”

Yang Feng said.

"You probably don't know what the name Holland means?"

Cork said with a gloomy face.

"Of course, I know that a small country with a population of more than one million, the size of the island of Taiwan, most of the places are wetlands formed by reclamation of land from the sea, and you are estimated to not even have enough to eat, and you were almost destroyed by the French more than 20 years ago. By the way, now Louis probably also wants to annex you, you see, I am not a Tatar, I know no less things than you, I also know that Carlos II of Spain is terminally ill, you should understand what will happen if he dies.

You see, I know it all.

I also know that the East India Company does not represent the Dutch, you are just a group of pirates who buy equipment and plunder, or we can call it colonists in a more refined way, so please don't scare me with the Netherlands, William III in London and the Dutch Parliament will not pay for a failure of your business.

You represent only yourselves.

The Dutch navy is strong, at least for now, but with the East India Company alone, I don't think you have anything to fear from me. ”

Yang Feng said.

Cork looked at him dumbfounded, apparently meeting a Chinese who knew so much about Europe for the first time.

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

Yang Feng then said.

"What business?"

Cork asked.

"Do you know something called rubber?"

"I've heard that the sap from a tree in South America is very elastic when solidified and can be made into balls, but it is of little use."

"Alright then, I'll just want this."

Yang Feng said.

"Your Excellency, what do you want such a thing?"

Cork said confusedly.

"You don't have to worry about this, anyway, I'll give you a method of primary processing, and then you can help me make raw materials in South America, or if you want, it's better to transplant it from South America to the East Indies, basically I want as much as you get, and there's another thing besides this, do you know oil? A black, flammable, smelly oil that comes out of the ground. ”

Yang Feng said.

"You know, it is produced in Myanmar, and it is said that there is also it on the island of Sumatra."

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

Yang Feng said.

He wants to play industrial, and these two are undoubtedly easy to start, taking rubber as an example, he can make vulcanized rubber, and then produce all kinds of rubber products to sell, the same is true for oil, gasoline and diesel are still far away, but kerosene is at your fingertips, and the means of refining kerosene is the distillate, which was not replaced by cracking until the beginning of the twentieth century, and the fraction ......

That's just a scientific term, and in fact it can also be said to be boiled in a cauldron, and the top layer that comes out is kerosene.

And the result of these two things is to turn Southeast Asia into a treasure land, and then intensify the competition for it, which is now fierce, and the Dutch, the British, the French, the Spaniards are all crowded there. And Yang Feng's next step is to make it more tempting there, let everyone bite this bone, he controls the upstream to eat meat, and let these hungry wolves fight for gnawing bones, anyway, the war for the Spanish throne lasted for fourteen years, and these Asian colonists had a share, so let the European war spread to Asia and turn Southeast Asia into a battlefield for these guys.

His goal is to keep the population declining.

For him, after solving Kang Mazi, it is not difficult to seize Southeast Asia, in the absence of the Suez Canal, it is difficult for European countries to send too many troops to Asia, they are not qualified to compete with him here, and the trouble is how to deal with those monkeys after the occupation, he doesn't mind engaging in tu-killing, but this kind of dirty work is better not to do it yourself, just leave it to these European colonists.

For example, the first oil field in Southeast Asia was in Ringanqiang, but it was not the territory of the colonizers, and it still belonged to the Taungoo Dynasty of Burma.

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

Whereas, rubber requires a lot of land to grow.

If these colonizers wanted to plant rubber plantations in Southeast Asia, they had to grab the farmland of the indigenous people, and they would not have paid for it in large quantities.

So did the natives agree?

If these things are not enough, then add something else, in short, to make Southeast Asia a treasure trove for everyone in a short period of time.

The husband is not guilty, but he is guilty!

Unfortunately for the natives there.

"Well, Your Excellency, this is good business, but it will not solve the problem between us, and we still reserve the right to take other measures."

Cork said.

Of course, he is just a dead duck with a hard mouth, the last time Yang Feng completely annihilated Moke's fleet, he 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 it went all out, but what if it failed? Even the Tatars poured out the power of the entire navy by this guy, and the strength of Mok's twelve armed merchant ships was not much worse than the East India Company fleet, and it was still completely annihilated, and it was too dangerous to fight this guy!

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

While the two were talking, Monk Yinian, who was already officially in charge of intelligence work, rushed in and said.

"Relocation?"

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

"That's all Kang Mazi has to do."

He said with a sneer.
