Chapter 2794
Since he chose Prince De's Mansion as the object of support, and had invested a lot of resources in the early stage, this actually showed that Hai Han didn't care much about Ming court's attitude.

Of course, the internal reduction of the vassal is one of the powers that the Ming court still retains, but this kind of means probably will hardly stop Haihan's determination to proceed with this matter.For the Ming court's response, Haihan had already expected it and formulated a plan to deal with it.

Bai Kesi's statement was not a momentary joke. If the Ming court really planned to cut down the feudal clan of King De, then Haihan would definitely exert pressure on the Ming court through other channels to make it withdraw its order.

Huo Mingxian's purpose of coming to Qingdao Port was to seek support from Haihan's high-level officials, but Bai Kesi's statement still shocked him. This was no longer just supporting De Wangfu behind his back, but was provoking De Wangfu's relationship with The Ming court launched a frontal struggle.

Huo Mingxian tentatively asked: "Lord Bai, if the palace resists the imperial court's order and fails to obey it, then the crime will be tantamount to rebellion. If the imperial court takes it seriously, the palace will probably not be able to handle it. How should the palace deal with something like cutting down the feudal clan by force?"

Bai Kesi said: "If the Ming court launches troops against Prince De's Mansion, our country will definitely not sit idly by. The naval forces set off from Dengzhou and rush to Jinan Mansion along the Yellow River. It will take at most three or four days, and they will have time to deal with most emergencies. If the situation is really urgent, we will also try to arrange for the entire Dewang Mansion to be evacuated from Jinan Mansion by water to ensure your personal safety."

The voyage of the Yellow River from Jinan City to the mouth of the sea is about four to five hundred miles, and the plan Beks mentioned is indeed highly operable.Moreover, the Ming army's water armed forces along the lower reaches of the Yellow River have long been cleaned up by Haihan using various excuses. The North Sea Fleet went upstream to Jinan City without encountering any obstacles.

If the North Sea Fleet dispatched warships equipped with steam power systems to advance at high speed throughout the entire process, it would even only take one day and one night for the troops to rush from Dengzhou to Jinan City, and there was no time for force to intervene.

The relevant emergency plan had been reported to the executive committee by the northern region long ago, and Beks had also participated in the review, so he was able to come up with it without thinking.

However, Huo Mingxian obviously didn't understand the content of these emergency plans formulated by the Northern Region for the Prince De's Mansion, and his expression was a little dubious.

Bai Kesi didn't want to waste his saliva explaining the detailed operation details to him, so he said in another way: "If King De thinks that the current situation is not safe and needs to make early plans, then you can also consider finding an excuse to leave Jinan Mansion first. Go to Dengzhou or Liaodong to temporarily avoid the limelight."

Speaking of this, Huo Mingxian couldn't make any further requests.After all, the Ming court's threat to cut down the vassals has not yet been implemented. De Wang's Mansion can't expect Haihan to directly send troops to Jinan Mansion, or simply push the capital flat, right?A high-level official like Beks expressed his support for De Wangfu and gave several plans to solve the problem, which was already a very sincere response.

After Huo Mingxian thanked him a thousand times, Jiang Jianzhang sent him out.

Bai Kesi wanted to test the two young people around him, so he asked them what they thought about this matter.

The two looked at each other, and Ning Zijing said first: "King De is willing to send his children to our country for development. He is also a clear-headed person who can judge the situation. If he can protect him, it should be helpful for future cooperation with him." Ming court's power transfer."

Bai Letong then said: "King De and Zhu Zian are both role models of our country's support. If King De falls, Zhu Zian's value will be greatly reduced. All the preparatory work we have done before will be invalidated. This matter cannot be compromised." , you have to be tougher."

Bai Kesi nodded slightly and said, "The northern region has always been in charge of the affairs of Prince De's Mansion. How should we deal with it? When we arrive in Dengzhou, let's see what Chen Yixin thinks!"

After having lunch at Qingdao Port that day, Bex ordered the fleet to prepare for departure.All the cargo ships in the fleet have completed loading and unloading, even a little earlier than expected.

Starting from Qingdao Port, it is necessary to go eastward and bypass most of the Jiaodong Peninsula before going to Zhifu Port, Dengzhou, the next stop.The distance between the two places is about 800 miles, and it is estimated that it will take two days and two nights to complete this voyage.

Both Bai Letong and Ning Zijing came to the Northern Region for the first time, and they were full of curiosity about this unfamiliar area. direction.

For them, the biggest difference between this sea area and the south is that there are far fewer sea ships along the way.Not far from Qingdao Port, there are no other sailboats on the sea, which is far from the bustling and prosperous scene in Hangzhou Bay.

Bai Letong said: "It seems that the shipping industry here is not too developed, maybe it has something to do with the fact that there are relatively few big ports in the north?"

Ning Zijing nodded in agreement: "Furthermore, the well-known large ports in the north are now operated by our country. This is mainly due to the impact of the previous government's ban on seas, which has resulted in a complete blank in the northern shipping market. , our country’s maritime agencies have hardly encountered any competitors.”

Judging from what I have seen and heard in Qingdao Port in the past day, there are indeed very few local maritime commercial organizations in the north, and basically all of them are operated by the Denglai Chamber of Commerce with obvious Haihan background.

However, it is still the large shipping companies from the south that occupy the bulk of the shipping market.In terms of comprehensive transportation capacity, supply organization, staffing, capital scale, and operating experience, merchants in the south undoubtedly have very obvious advantages.If merchants in the north want to make a difference in the shipping market, I am afraid there is still a long way to go.

Two days later, the fleet arrived at Zhifu Port smoothly.

Beks, who had been resting in the cabin during the journey, also came to the deck ahead of time, and together with his juniors and subordinates, watched the large harbor built entirely by Hai Han.

"Compared to the last time I came here, the changes here are really too great!" Bex looked at the scene on the coast and couldn't help expressing emotion.

The last time Beks came here was 20 years ago.

In 1636, Haihan marched into Liaodong, launched a spring offensive, and captured the Jinzhou Isthmus.At the same time, Wang Tom led the armed fleet to Seoul, forcing North Korea to sign an alliance under the city.At that time, Beks personally escorted a large amount of munitions and equipment, stopped at Zhifu Port, and headed to Liaodong. On behalf of the Executive Committee, he met with envoys from North Korea and Ming Dynasty in Jinzhou, and agreed on the three-nation alliance that later determined the situation in Northeast Asia.
