Father, I really don’t want to be the emperor

Ning Fan is not surprised that Song Chengzhou has such insight. After all, in the eyes of the older generation, domination of land and resources is a deep-rooted concept. Now that the country is strong, it will naturally expand outward.

However, Ning Fan was very curious about Wang Tianjiang's views, because judging from Song Chengzhou's attitude, it was obvious that Wang Tianjiang's attitude was completely different from his.

"Wang Tianjiang said in that letter, he said that our Dakang does not need to expand externally. We only need to do a good job in trade, improve technology, and as long as we have strong enough production capacity, then our Dakang will prosper forever. ”

"Instead, it continues to wage wars with foreign countries, conduct trade dumping, and then use financial means to harvest wealth. This is difficult to last."

Song Chengzhou expressed Wang Tianjiang's views in a few sentences. Ning Fan nodded slightly after hearing Wang Tianjiang's remarks. In fact, Ning Fan's thoughts were roughly the same as Wang Tianjiang's.

But Ning Fan has his own ideas, which are slightly different from Wang Tianjiang. In fact, in Ning Fan's mind, international trade or ocean trade has always been Ning Fan's obsession, and Ning Fan has a bigger idea in mind. ideals and goals.

As a time traveler, Ning Fan's vision is not focused on the land of Dakang. In fact, Ning Fan has grander and more ambitious ambitions. He wants to bring welfare and hope to the entire human race.

"Your Majesty, in your opinion, what route will our Dakang take in the future? Do we really want to take a closed route like Wang Tianjiang? Develop your own self and live your own small life?"

Song Chengzhou looked at Ning Fan with some confusion.

Obviously, Song Chengzhou did not agree with Wang Tianjiang's views. In his opinion, Wang Tianjiang's ideas were too conservative.

"Wang Tianjiang's idea cannot be said to be completely correct, nor can it be said that he is wrong. It is just a naive idea. Foreign trade must not be stopped, especially maritime trade. Moreover, our foreign trade is not only to make money, but also to export our values. , export our technology and export our responsibility.”

"The kingly way and the hegemony are two completely different concepts. Naturally, we in Dakang will not follow the hegemonic line like the British people and claim to be kings and hegemons. We will naturally follow the kingly way and convince others with virtue."

"In the future of Dakang, we will never use force to conquer neighboring countries. Instead, we will export culture, values, advanced technological concepts, etc. to these countries to help these poor and backward areas develop rapidly."

After Ning Fan thought for a while, he spoke out his true thoughts. Ning Fan thought that his words would be approved by Song Chengzhou, but unexpectedly, he made Song Chengzhou anxious.

"You are confused, Your Majesty. You are wrong to think so. If we give away the advanced things we have worked so hard to develop to others, then once others become strong and have big fists, they will turn around. Those who attack us must not let tigers cause trouble.”

Song Chengzhou said anxiously, he was really afraid that Ning Fan would act like what he said and foolishly give away to others what he had worked so hard to study.

When Ning Fan heard what Song Chengzhou said, he couldn't help but smile. He said to Song Chengzhou: "That's not like you said, giving all the core technologies to these countries. What we have to do now is to improve these countries. The basic strength allows their people to have food and allow them to develop economically. Only with economic development can they have money to buy our goods, buy our technology, and learn our culture, isn’t it?”

"If these countries become impoverished, then who will our goods be sold to in the future? After a large number of goods are produced, they can only be piled up in warehouses."

Ning Fan laughed and revealed a true philosophy to Song Chengzhou, that is, the market is cultivated, not waited for, nor found.

Dakang is just a step away from becoming a globalized country. As long as it has a decisive battle with the British, Dakang will be on the stage of history.

Today's Dakeng is still a regional country that makes a lot of money. Although it is treated seriously by the British, Ning Fan is not in a hurry.

Two months later, Ning Fan came to Jiangnan Shipyard again. Today, the scale of Jiangnan Shipyard has been expanded, ten times larger than before, and tens of thousands of armored warships are secretly parked in the nearby seaport. These These are all the results of the battleships built by Jiangnan Shipyard in the past few years.

These armored warships are far ahead of this era in terms of technology and design, especially the sci-fi shape and the huge cannons installed on the ship, which all show that these warships are unique.

Of course, if you just silently manufacture armored battleships, that won't work. Just as Jiangnan Shipyard continued to produce such battleships, another navy specially used for maritime combat was also quietly cultivated by Ning Fan. .

In addition to being familiar with various equipment on battleships, these naval officers and soldiers also need to be familiar with various principles of maritime warfare, as well as some basic knowledge training such as astronomy and geography.

"Your Majesty, everything is ready now. All we need is the east wind. As long as you give an order, these tens of thousands of armored warships will immediately plunge into the vast sea and fight to the death with the English."

Although several years have passed, Qin Ying's hatred for the English has not weakened at all. Back then, he was very high-spirited, leading a large fleet of Kangxi ships to visit surrounding countries, and constantly creating trade myths. At that time, Qin Ying can be said to be at the pinnacle of her life.

But a few years later, Qin Ying worked hard, almost day and night, focusing on the shipbuilding yard. Now, Qin Ying, who is less than thirty years old, has already turned gray, and his whole body They all look much older.

"Qin Ying, you have worked hard to build ships over the years, but you have overlooked one thing. War at sea is not about whose ship is bigger or whose cannon is more powerful. It is a test of systematic operations and maritime tactics and strategies. If you really think that our ships can defeat the English without any tactics, you are totally wrong."

Ning Fan looked at Qin Ying angrily.

At this time, Ning Fan finally understood why the fleet led by Qin Ying was destroyed so easily in the hands of the English. It turned out that Qin Ying did not understand naval warfare at all.

Let Qin Ying be a pioneer, conquer the vast sea, let him engage in maritime trade to spread civilization, he is definitely a qualified person, but if he is asked to be a maritime marshal, it will definitely not work, because Qin Ying doesn't have the brains, let alone the qualifications.
