Crown Prince of the Empire, I quit!

Neither side left the negotiation room that night.

Xiahou Lian and others who were waiting outside were a little anxious and kept urging Changbaishan and others to go and ask what happened.

"General Chang, if our Highness encounters a threat on your territory, don't blame us Tiger Roar Guards for being rude."

Chang Baishan is not the kind of person who can be threatened. He curled his lips and said:

"When two armies are fighting, and they don't kill the envoys, do they think Daqian is a barbaric place like the Yan Dynasty, where few people from top to bottom can read?"

Xiahou Lian was a little unhappy to hear this.

"General Chang, our Yan Dynasty is vast and rich in resources, and we have millions of soldiers. How can we compare with Daqian?"

"In the end, didn't we still lose to Daqian? Times have changed. Now it's not about numbers, but about technology!"

Chang Baishan did not give in at all and argued with him with his nose wrinkled.

Both of them were upright people. After a few words, they soon ran to the training ground to fight.

Because of this fight, they even forgot about Qin Ming and Yan Ziqiong in the negotiation room.

After they quarreled over some minor matters, it did not cause much commotion in the military camp.

After learning about this, Chen Pi and Cao Chuan simply arranged for a few people to go over and tell them not to cause any casualties, and to let them fight if they wanted.

Now their focus is on the negotiations between Qin Ming and Yan Ziqiong.

In the central military tent, Wu Tianxing, Wu Wenzhou and Chen Pi sat together, waiting for the results of the discussion.

During this period, Wu Wenzhou also asked a few questions from time to time, constantly testing the intelligence of the Daqian troops.

His trip was not in vain. Not only did he participate in the negotiations, but he also inquired about Daqian's technological updates in a roundabout way.

However, Chenpi and Caochuan are not talkative people, unlike Chang Baishan.

Wu Wenzhou asked for a long time but didn't get much information.

"Your Majesty, it's this late, aren't you going to rest?"

Wu Tianxing looked at the moonlit sky with sparse stars and asked curiously.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty is a martial arts expert. You won't have to worry about not resting for several days and nights."

Chenpi spoke slowly from the side.

In this way, everyone spent the night in confusion.

Early the next morning, a graceful figure slowly walked out of the courtyard where Qin Ming was.

Qin Ming stood on the door frame and watched.

Turning her head, Yan Ziqiong glanced at him shyly.

"Will you come back?"

Qin Ming shrugged.

"As long as you want."

"Ah."

Turning around, Yan Ziqiong slowly left.

Qin Ming watched everything quietly without saying much.

"His Majesty!"

After Yan Ziqiong left, the first person to come and find Qin Ming was Wu Wenzhou.

He eagerly asked about their situation.

"Have the high-ranking officials of the royal family agreed to our Wu family's conditions?"

"I agree, but the areas conquered by Daqian must be governed by themselves. We will cooperate with Yan Dynasty in the future and set aside an area within Princess Tiance's territory for experimental cooperation."

After Qin Ming informed Wu Wenzhou of his discussion with Yan Ziqiong, the other party nodded in satisfaction.

This time his mission is half completed.

"Yes, then what about the factory between us...?"

"We will do it, but I hope the Wu family will take care of the construction of those ports."

Qin Ming nodded in agreement.

"Of course, of course!"

Wu Wenzhou's face suddenly showed ecstasy.

This time they made the right bet, and the Wu family will be the one of the Four Pillars that will gain the most from this war.

"Pack up and set off back to Daqian."

After Qin Ming sent the Wu father and son away, he called Chen Pi and Chang Baishan to his front.

They controlled several ice-free ports in the north of Daqian.

Both ironclad ships and clipper ships can dock.

After the war with the Yan Dynasty ended, all sea routes were opened.

The subsequent threats are relatively small. For example, small forces like pirates can be defeated by their merchant ship escort teams.

"Yes!"

Everyone agreed to set off in three days, with Cao Chuan and Hei Fu leading 50,000 troops to stay in Yan Dynasty and return after the spring of next year.

Before leaving, Qin Ming had one more thing to deal with.

In the evening, a beautiful figure appeared in front of Qin Ming.

The person who came was Liu Yueli.

"Your Majesty, long time no see."

"Where's Liu Chuang?"

Qin Ming asked helplessly, holding his forehead.

Since Liu Chuang was sent out, the Huozi Camp has been like a raging fire, sweeping across many troops of the Yan Dynasty.

However, the other party has never cooperated well with me.

"Your Majesty, General Liu is embarrassed to come to see you."

"Forget it. Let him take people to the Southeast Asian countries to teach them the latest methods of making firearms."

Qin Ming spoke slowly, but what he said surprised Liu Yueli a little.

"Your Majesty, are you sure you want to send all this advanced technology over?"

The most powerful thing about Qin Ming and his men now is not their military strength, but their technology.

If they share technology, their advantages will be quickly eroded in three years at the least and ten years at the most.

“It’s not about sharing technology in this way, but about building foundries and handing over many complicated and repetitive tasks.”

Qin Ming has already planned his future development path.

Factories that have no technical content and only produce accessories do not need to be placed in Daqian.

The people of Daqian can expand their technology a lot.

This way you can always maintain the advantage.

As for the people in the Southeast Asian countries, they did not suffer any losses. They could even make a lot of good things by relying on OEM factories and earn a lot of money.

In addition to the countries in Southeast Asia, the factory that Qin Ming had previously promised to the Wu family also followed this approach.

After building the basic framework, he no longer needs to worry about future matters.

"One more thing, Your Majesty."

After Liu Yueli recorded Qin Ming's orders in detail, she raised her head.

Qin Ming took out a coin from his pocket and said with a smile:

"this one?"

This was the money that Zhao San gave to Qin Ming when he came to seek refuge.

When Liu Yueli saw the coin, she covered her mouth with her hands, her face full of surprise.

"How did you find out so quickly?"

"I met a group of local Luojiao followers."

Qin Ming told Liu Yueli about what happened between him and Zhao San and the others.

Hearing this, Liu Yueli sighed and said:

"Yes, Luojiao has flourished, but the direction of its development is somewhat different from what we expected. Some people have even begun to change the interpretation of Luojiao's teachings."

"There's nothing we can do about it. Faith is open to multiple interpretations after all."

Qin Ming shrugged his shoulders. The Luo Sect of Daqian at least recognized him as the leader.

As for the Yan Dynasty.

Then let the royal family handle it themselves.

……

Three days passed in a flash, and that morning, thousands of sails were sailing on the Yan River.

Qin Ming stood at the bow and said to Cao Chuan who came to say goodbye:

"I'll leave this place to you."

"Don't worry, Your Majesty. I promise to complete the mission."

In recent days, he has cleared the upstream and downstream shipping routes, and the number of merchant ships in Yanjiang River has gradually increased.

After Qin Ming gave a few instructions, he got on the boat and left with everyone else.

The ship started slowly, and white smoke came out of the steam engine.

Qin Ming's army began to leave one after another.

Sitting on the big ship in the center of the team, Qin Ming glanced at the mountains on both sides, turned around and walked into the cabin.

On the mountain peak downstream of Xingjiaguan, a graceful figure stood there, accompanied by Xiahou Lian and several Tiger Roar Guards, watching Qin Ming leave.
