As soon as Young Master Liu finished speaking, Song Qing and Zhou Baoyu's eyes lit up.
Song Qing held the bamboo pole and tapped the palm of his hand, and his face suddenly relaxed.
"Yes, the little queen of Tsarist Russia, Serena, is the wife of this guy Chengfeng.
With this guy here, the problem in Tsarist Russia shouldn't be too difficult to solve.
only……"
Song Qing only spoke half of his words and looked at Young Master Liu hesitantly.
"Just what?"
"I'm just a little worried about whether your eldest daughter-in-law Serena is of the same mind as our big dragon.
Although she is now the mother of this boy Chengfeng, she is still the Queen of Tsarist Russia.
If Serena, Dalong, and Chengfeng are of the same mind, then all problems will naturally not be considered big problems. "
On the contrary, if the opposite is true..."
As Song Qing spoke, he once again became hesitant to speak and then stopped.
Zhou Baoyu looked at Song Qing who was hesitant to speak, and hesitantly wanted to say something.
He pondered for a long time with tangled eyes, but finally did not speak.
Liu Mingzhi glanced at Song Qing's somewhat complicated expression, and put his hands behind his back with a deep look.
"Brother, do you want to say it?
On the contrary, not only will the issue about Tsarist Russia not be easily solved, but it will become even more troublesome.
I don’t know, brother, am I right? "
Song Qing frowned slightly and sighed softly, looking at Young Master Liu and nodding heavily.
"Third brother, you are right, that is exactly what Brother Wei was thinking just now.
Third brother, now this girl Serena has become Chengfeng’s wife and your daughter-in-law.
In this case, it means that the girl Serena can easily know some things that other foreigners cannot know.
Regarding matters in the court, we will put them aside for the time being.
I will only talk about the situation in Dalong Capital and various state capitals within the capital, considering that this girl Serena is currently the concubine of the eldest son of the Dalong Emperor.
She can easily get whatever she wants to know without any effort at all.
Third brother, what I said for my brother is more serious.
If this girl Serena is serious, she just wants to understand all the situations in the world of my dragon.
As long as you are willing to spend some money, it is only a matter of time.
Third brother, what I said as a brother is to think about the problem from the other person's perspective.
This is by no means an alarmist statement. "
Liu Mingzhi smacked his lips and took a few puffs of dry cigarette, turned his head to look at Song Qing, and exhaled the light smoke in his mouth calmly.
"Brother, you have said so much, do you want to tell your brother?
Know yourself and know the enemy, and you will be victorious in every battle? "
Hearing that Liu Mingzhi said what he was thinking right away, Song Qing's slightly frowned brows instantly relaxed a little.
"Yes, that's what being a brother means.
Third brother, during the time Serena was in the capital, she could easily figure out the general situation of our Dalong.
What about us?
Our understanding of Tsarist Russia is entirely based on the spies who followed the boy Chengfeng on his mission to Tsarist Russia. After they returned my dragon, they reported to us and learned about the situation.
The situations they reported have great limitations on our understanding of Tsarist Russia!
And if I, Dalong, only rely on those fragments of intelligence content to look at Tsarist Russia.
One day in the future, our Great Dragon Kingdom will be at odds with Tsarist Russia.
When the two parties are at war, the situation faced by our Dalong Dynasty will be very passive. "
Zhou Baoyu waited until Song Qing finished speaking and immediately nodded in agreement.
"Commander, what Brother Song said makes sense!
As Brother Song said,
Apart from this, we know too little about Tsarist Russia.
None of us have been to Tsarist Russia, and we can only obtain information about the situation there from spies.
But this girl, Serena, can easily detect all the situations in our Great Dragon Kingdom.
The ebb and flow of one thing and another will be very detrimental to my dragon.
If war does break out between the two countries in the future, and we are caught off guard, if we are a little careless, we may suffer some hidden losses. "
Liu Mingzhi picked up the tea and rinsed his mouth. He still looked calm and raised his eyes to glance at the expressions of Song Qing and Zhou Baoyu.
"Any more?"
When Song Qing heard Young Master Liu's question, he nodded without hesitation.
"have."
"Say it."
"Third brother, the situation that I just mentioned is just a situation that does not involve the court.
Once a major event in the court is involved, our Dalong will become even more passive.
Third brother, dare to say something unpleasant for your brother.
If this sentence is inappropriate, I hope you, Third Brother, will not take it to heart. "
Liu Mingzhi immediately bent down and spit out the tea in his mouth into the copper basin. After standing up, he looked at Song Qing and nodded with a smile.
"Brother, there is nothing we can't say between brothers.
No matter what you say, it doesn't matter if you say it. "
"Third brothers, Feifei, Yiyi, Chengfeng, Chengzhi, Yaoyao, Chenggan, the second brother and sister, are all on duty in the Palace of Ten Kings now!
The documents processed by their brothers, sisters and others were all very important documents to the imperial court.
The boy Chengfeng and the girl Serena are now husband and wife after all.
As a result, Chengfeng would inevitably let slip some important topics related to the imperial court at times.
Brother Wei said this not because he was doubting Chengfeng.
But worry...worry..."
Liu Mingzhi took a puff of smoke and scanned the map in front of him with a slightly raised brow.
"I'm worried that the speaker is unintentional but the listener is intentional, right?"
Song Qing's face was slightly startled, and when he realized what he was doing, he immediately nodded and signaled.
"right!"
Liu Mingzhi was silent for a moment with his lips slightly raised. He leaned over and knocked out the ashes from the smoke pot in the copper basin at his feet. Then he casually put his hands on his back and walked towards the door of the study at a leisurely pace.
"Brother, Baoyu."
"Third brother?"
"Commander?"
"You two bring three jars of wine, and we'll go to the yard outside the study to drink and chat."
"OK."
"knew."
After Liu Mingzhi opened the door, he looked back at the two of them.
"By the way, it just so happens that the three of us are not full yet! Let's bring the food with us.
It would be a pity to waste such a good meal. "
"understand."
"It's coming, it's coming."
"Third brother, I have discovered that you are becoming more and more frugal now.
When we went out to drink together before, you never cared about this! "
Liu Mingzhi put the tobacco bag on his waist and sighed with a sad expression.
"Brother, do you think I want this?
Master, I am now like this because I was forced to do so.
There are too many places where money is spent, so it’s impossible not to save some.
We must save the flowers that need to be spent and the places that need to be saved!
To be honest, I want to go back to the way it was before more than anyone else.
Before you came, I was still talking to Baoyu!
Being in charge is difficult! "
After the three of them sat down in the pavilion, Zhou Baoyu slapped off the sealing mud on the wine jar in his hand and filled three bowls of wine directly.
Liu Mingzhi peeled off a peanut and threw it into his mouth, then picked up the wine bowl and gestured.
"Brother, Baoyu, let's do it."
"Dry."
"Done."
"Brother."
"Um?"
"In addition to the situations you mentioned, there is another situation you did not mention."
Song Qing's face was stunned and he looked directly at Young Master Liu.
"what's the situation?"
Zhou Baoyu poured three more bowls of wine and cast a curious look at Young Master Liu.
Liu Mingzhi looked at the curious expressions of the two people and breathed out the breath of wine.
"Chengfeng, this boy, will you be of the same mind as this young master in the future?"
"Uh-huh, huh."
"Cough cough cough... cough cough cough..."
As soon as Young Master Liu finished speaking, Song Qing and Zhou Baoyu both changed their expressions and began to cough.
Soon.
The two looked at Mr. Liu with complicated expressions, and the hesitation in their eyes was clearly visible.
Whether it was Song Qing or Zhou Baoyu, both of them knew very well.
This topic is difficult to answer!
Liu Mingzhi glanced at the embarrassed expressions of Song and Qing, then opened his jade fan and started to fan it gently.
"Brother, Baoyu, I want to tell you something that comes from my heart.
Ever since Chengfeng and Serena got married, I have been thinking about this issue from time to time.
That is, one day in the future.
If it is because of his wife and children, Chengfeng will not be of the same mind as this young master and me, a father.
What should I do?
Big brother, Baoyu, I wonder if you two brothers have any good suggestions. "
Regarding this topic, Song Qing and Zhou Baoyu originally planned to avoid talking about it.
However, Liu Mingzhi asked directly.
It was impossible for both of them to avoid this topic.
Song Qing clenched his teeth and groaned for a moment, picked up the wine bowl, raised his head slightly and drank a large bowl of wine in one gulp.
After taking a deep breath of alcohol, Song Qing raised his head and looked at Young Master Liu.
"Third brother!"
"Well, brother, do you have any good suggestions?"
Song Qing put down the wine bowl and shook his head at Liu Mingzhi without hesitation.
"Third brother, I don't want to help you solve your problems except for my brother's sake.
But for this question, Brother Wei really doesn’t know how to answer it. "
"Brother, don't you have any suggestions?"
Song Qing gritted his teeth and said loudly: "Brother Wei really doesn't have any good advice, but brother Wei does have some personal opinions.
I wonder if my third brother is willing to listen? "
"Say it."
“Third brother, this child Chengfeng grew up under my brother’s watch.
What kind of character he is, I have a good idea of what kind of character he has.
Brother Wei can tell you for sure that no matter what happens in the future.
This kid Chengfeng will never do anything that is bad for you or Dalong.
As Chengfeng's biological father, you should understand this better than your brother. "
After listening to Song Qing's words, Zhou Baoyu nodded in agreement.
"Brother Song's words are reasonable, and I will second my opinion.
Marshal, when the three brothers Chengfeng, Chengzhi, Chenggan and others followed the brothers of the last general on the northern expedition.
These three brothers are the soldiers and horses under the command of the last general brother and others.
The general and others spent day and night with the three brothers, and not only did they understand each of their characters 100%, but they also understood everything about them.
Therefore, the final general has the same idea as Brother Song.
With the character of this boy Chengfeng, he would never do anything detrimental to my dragon. "
Liu Mingzhi looked at Song and Qing's solemn expressions, nodded with a slightly raised brow, picked up the drink and drank directly.
"Brother, Baoyu."
"Why."
"The end will be here."
“Many years ago, both of you were people who fought against the soldiers of Tsarist Russia.
This young master would like to hear what you two think about the Russian army.
From a fair and impartial perspective, please evaluate your views on Tsarist Russia's troops.
Which one of you two comes first? "
Zhou Baoyu lifted the wine jar at hand and refilled the drinks for Liu and Young Master Liu.
"Brother Song, when our dragon cavalry fought against the Russian troops and the troops from the Royal Court of Spieth, you were the deputy commander of the army.
Regarding the overall war situation, you know better than my little brother.
Otherwise, just say it first. "
Song Qing nodded gently: "Okay, let me talk first."
Liu Mingzhi reached for his wine bowl, stood up, walked to the bench under the pavilion and sat down, crossing his legs and leaning on the pillar behind him.
“Don’t let other people’s prestige destroy your own ambition.
However, we must face up to our opponents. "
"Third brother, to be honest, Tsarist Russia's troops are very good both in terms of individual strength and overall strength."
Liu Mingzhi nodded slightly, raised the wine bowl to his mouth and took a sip.
"Brother, tell me your personal views in detail."
“Many years ago, our Dalong soldiers clashed several times with Tsarist Russia’s troops.
I won't say more about the result.
Although every confrontation ended in victory for our dragon, this does not mean that the strength of Tsarist Russia's soldiers and horses is very weak.
After the war came to an end, Brother Zeng carefully analyzed the situation at that time.
There are several reasons why our Dalong soldiers are able to win battles repeatedly, which cannot be ignored. "
"Huh? What's the reason?"
"The time, place and people are favorable."
Liu Mingzhi turned his eyes slightly and thought silently for a moment, then nodded with a slight smile.
"go on."
“Let’s talk about the weather first, let’s talk about the situation during the second confrontation between us and Tsarist Russia’s troops.
At that time, heavy snow had been falling intermittently in Xinfu for more than a month, and nearly 80% of the entire grassland was covered by thick snow.
The heavy snowfall in Xinfu is already like this, let alone the situation north of Yinshan Mountain.
On the eve of the battle between our Dalong border soldiers and the Tsarist Russian soldiers and horses, our Dalong soldiers were hardly affected because of sufficient food and grass supplies in the rear.
On the other hand, looking at the coalition forces of the Royal Court of Spieth and the Russian soldiers and horses, they traveled a long way, and their supplies of food, grass and other supplies would definitely be greatly affected.
One has plenty of food and grass and is almost unaffected by the weather, heavy snow, and biting cold wind. The other has traveled a long distance and is extremely short of food and grass.
Which one is strong and which one is weak can be seen at a glance.
Regarding this point, I think you, as the commander-in-chief of the armed forces in the past, should be more aware than your brother.
Therefore, just in terms of weather, our Dalong soldiers already have a 30% advantage. "
Liu Mingzhi was silent for a while, seemingly thoughtful, then nodded and took a sip of his drink.
"Brother, your evaluation is very fair, please continue."
