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

Ning Fan’s strategy is actually very simple. Since the English are now avoiding a decisive battle, Ning Fan will nibble away at the English colonies bit by bit.

This is a very deadly method. You must know that the English can maintain their huge base thanks to the tributes from these colonies.

If Ning Fan swallowed up these colonies bit by bit, then collapse would be imminent for the British.

This is a struggle between an old hegemonic empire and a newly emerging country, and the outcome depends on this one, but now the balance of victory has tilted towards Dakang.

On the vast ocean, Ning Fan's Kunpeng was sailing against the wind and waves.

"Your Majesty left Kyoto this time and came to the sea, which means we are completely cut off from all contact. If something happens at home, I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to get the news."

Chen Yuanqing sighed.

This time when they went out to sea, Ning Fan left Luo Cheng in Kyoto.

Ning Fan did this for his own reasons.

As the emperor, Ning Fan's long absence from Kyoto would inevitably breed some factors of rebellion. Although Zhou Qun was in charge of Kyoto, and Xiao Lingxi, Yueying and others controlled the power, Ning Fan was not worried about what would happen.

In fact, the Jinyiwei is no longer the strongest card in Ning Fan’s hand. The most powerful card in Ning Fan’s hand now is the Military Intelligence Department.

This Military Intelligence Department was truly cultivated by Ning Fan himself, and both the strategic guidance and training methods were cultivated by Ning Fan bit by bit.

Of course, the Military Intelligence Department did not disappoint Ning Fan. The fully formed Military Intelligence Department helped Ning Fan solve many difficult problems, not only externally but also internally. The Military Intelligence Department also largely offset the influence from the Jinyiwei.

Just two months ago, Ning Fan recalled Chen Ziguang and asked him to secretly set up branches of the Military Intelligence Department in Kyoto and various provinces. The Military Intelligence Department focused on infiltrating the army. Every team needed to have a Military Intelligence Department stationed there. The Military Intelligence Department had great power and could help Ning Fan directly control the entire army.

This is the reason why Ning Fan can travel and sightsee on the sea with peace of mind. Everything has been arranged, so Ning Fan can naturally relax his body and mind.

At this time, Ning Fan was lying on a fishing chair, and the fishing rod was tied to the railing of the big boat by Ning Fan.

"Your Majesty, we've caught a fish."

Chen Yuanqing's voice was trembling with excitement. Fishing at sea was very exciting, and he could easily catch big fish weighing more than ten or twenty kilograms.

Ning Fan pulled the rod, and Chen Yuanqing simply pulled the rope up with his hands, and a tuna was pulled out of the sea.

"Just catch one fish a day. No more fishing today. Whoever wants to fish can go ahead."

Ning Fan threw away his fishing rod and concentrated on appreciating the sea and sky in the distance. Seagulls were circling around the big ship, because where the big ship passed by, it would splash water and attract small fish to appear on the sea.

"Your Majesty, the country of Fuso should be ahead."

Chen Yuanqing pointed to the distance and said.

In fact, according to the nautical chart, it was still at least one day's journey to Fuso Kingdom, and Chen Yuanqing was already a little impatient at this time.

Chen Yuanqing stayed on the boat these days, and he always liked to be with Qin Ying arm in arm, whether he had something to do or not.

The two of them were chattering away, and no one knew what they were talking about.

Chen Yuanqing was very interested in Fuso and wanted to reach Fuso immediately.

"The country of Fuso is actually just a nail planted by the English in our eastern continent. The people of Fuso are willing to serve the English as dogs. This time when we go to Fuso, we may not be able to get their surrender. We must be prepared for a fight."

Ning Fan held onto the railing and spoke in a relaxed tone.

Only by defeating Fuso would the English lose an eye and a loyal brother in the Eastern Kingdom.

Without the support of the Fuso people behind them, the English would have completely lost their sphere of influence in the Eastern Kingdom.

"Qin Ying, order a thousand warships to surround this place, and then order two thousand warships to lock the city from this place."

Ning Fan continued to draw attack routes on the map with a pen. In fact, this completely covered several major cities in the entire Fuso Kingdom.

"Your Majesty, if you arrange this, it will be a war to destroy the country. If these big cities are destroyed, Fuso will be destroyed. Their civilization and military strength will no longer exist."

When Qin Ying saw Ning Fan making such arrangements, he took a breath.

"The goal is to destroy Fuso! Haven't you noticed? The Fuso people are fence-sitters. Keeping them will be a disaster sooner or later."

Ning Fan said coldly.

In fact, in the minds of Chen Yuanqing and Qin Ying, Ning Fan has never easily started a war, but this time he is so determined to destroy a country, which is unprecedented. It can be imagined how much Ning Fan hates the country of Fuso in his mind.

Although Chen Yuanqing felt it was a pity, he didn't know what to say. After all, Ning Fan was very angry at the moment. Even if he wanted to persuade him, he had to wait until Ning Fan calmed down.

No one knows where Ning Fan's hatred for Fuso comes from. All they can feel is that when Ning Fan was planning the steps of this war, his tone was very stern and his expression was very fierce.

"There are 2,000 English warships stationed here, and they rely on the island's supplies and shore-based artillery, which is enough to deal with us."

Ning Fan stretched out his hand and pointed to a large island across the sea from the Fuso people. The island was called Ryukyu Island.

"Your Majesty, the inhabitants of the Ryukyu Islands are wronged. They have always been of the same culture and ethnicity as our Dakang. It is said that in the previous dynasty, there was a group of old people and young people from the previous dynasty who were unwilling to submit to Dakang. They went out to sea and settled on the Ryukyu Islands."

Qin Ying's voice became lower and lower, because he suddenly realized that to Ning Fan, these survivors of the previous dynasty deserved to die even more.

"What do you want to say?"

Ning Fan listened to Qin Ying calmly.

Qin Ying also realized at this time that he had said the wrong thing just now, and quickly changed the subject, saying to Ning Fan: "But we must be careful on our first stop after we go out to sea. At that time, I will personally lead a team of warships to attack the guards on the Ryukyu Island."

Maybe it was because of nervousness, but Qin Ying's voice was a little stuttering. Ning Fan saw it and smiled knowingly in his heart. Some things don't need to be exposed, and they are actually harmless.

"Hundreds of years have passed, and the people of Ryukyu are just ordinary people. When going to war with the English, try to protect these people. After all, it is not easy for them to thrive on this island and develop to the current level. They must have suffered a lot."
