"Because of the advancement of science and technology, the pace of mankind can no longer be stopped by nature. The British fleet can attack the Cape of Good Hope in South Africa and the coastline of India... The French fleet can also bypass the earth to attack distant Annan and Ryukyu..."
"The geographical distance is still the same distance, not one meter farther nor one meter less. However, in the face of rapidly changing technology, the original geographical distance has become relatively shorter, because people use less time... …”
"It's like the earth used to be a continent, and Zhangzhuang and Wangcun were separated by hundreds of thousands of mountains. If you visited once, you would have to carry a year's worth of dry food... But now the earth is a village. The British live at the east end of the village, and the Qing Dynasty lives at the east end of the village. In the center of the village, America lives in the west of the village..."
"If something happens, you can just lift your feet! The shorter the distance, the more connections there will be between people...and the same conflicts will become more intense!"
Yang Zhi licked his chapped lips and smiled bitterly, "Xiao Letian's cunning plan is actually specially designed to deal with the current global village... He knows his own strength very well, and his mind has never been crazy. He travels around the world. He did not even usurp the throne of Ryukyu outside the legal system of Ryukyu. Why is this?"
"He just doesn't want to give these powerful countries an excuse to go to war with him! Xiao Letian knows very well that if he really makes the whole world angry, let alone the powerful countries such as Britain, France and the United States, even if the Qing Dynasty Even if I make up my mind to fight him to the death, he is no match..."
Yang Zhi's words suddenly excited the people in Dongnuan Pavilion. Cixi couldn't help but sit up straight, "Huh? Then... Come on, please serve tea to Mr. Yang! Serve good tea! Everyone has no discernment and price." They all need to be cleaned up!"
"Hey..." Li Lianying lowered her eyebrows and accepted the words. Then she turned around and took a fragrant red robe from the hand of the eunuch in charge of the tea. She respectfully put her hands in front of Yang Zhi, "Please use it, sir." Tea, moisten your throat!”
Yang Zhi looked at Li Lianying's charming smile and wanted to punch him. Is this cup of tea so delicious? If you hold an embroidered pier, you will get two to three thousand taels as a gift, and this cup of tea will cost two thousand taels at least!
Your grandma’s! A trip to Ouchi will cost at least six to seven thousand silver dollars. What evil have I done!
But he couldn't show the slightest hint of impatience on his face, he had to smile and he had to smile in an extremely respectful manner!
"Thank you, father-in-law! Thank you, father-in-law!" He took the tea with both hands, and raised his butt respectfully. Look at the short pig tail that had just grown on the back of his neck. The scene was extremely joyful.
After taking two sips of tea to moisten his throat, Yang Zhi continued, "Actually, the court does not have to be afraid of Xiao Letian at all. He is nothing great. As long as our hearts are as hard as iron, all his treacherous schemes will be nothing more than moonlight in the well..."
Yang Zhi's face was a little ferocious, "Do we dare to burn the city to the ground when Xiao Letian attacks Sijiu City? Do we dare to sacrifice hundreds of millions of lives like we did to pacify Changmao?"
"Do we dare to use our country's strength to use foreign troops to suppress Ryukyu, even if it means dividing the land? As long as we can have such courage and determination, what do we have to fear? No matter how powerful Xiao Letian is, he can only have tens of thousands of people , one person from Qing Dynasty can drown him with just one spit of spit!"
"As long as we create a heart of stone, are we still afraid of him? So I declare that Xiao Letian is just a paper tiger. If he had asked, he would have been burned to ashes by the anger of a powerful country!"
Boost your energy! It’s so uplifting! The empress dowagers of the two palaces and the prince and old man all felt their waists stiffened. At this time, their eyes on Yang Zhi became more friendly, and they no longer treated him as a slave.
"Looking at the example of Fuso, then the treatment of King Shangtai of Ryukyu, and finally combining the details of the Chinese Order... I think His Majesty will not be in any danger in Ryukyu. On the contrary, Xiao Letian must continue to be good to His Majesty. Your Majesty will not suffer even the slightest grievance..."
"Because of Xiao Letian's three-dimensional battle, the key point is not to tear through that layer of hypocrisy. He must pretend to be benevolent and close to His Majesty in front of the world... Only in this way will he not let everyone All the people in the Qing Dynasty hate him!"
"Just like the example I gave just now, Xiao Letian, a civil and military master who sells his skills in the village, wants to seduce the big Qing family. He has to pretend to be kind. If he dares to show any disrespect to His Majesty, If he is not kind, hundreds of millions of people in our Qing Dynasty will eat him alive!"
"Hahaha... This is actually a cocoon! The Queen Mother does not need to worry too much about him. Xiao Letian's three-dimensional warfare is really difficult to deal with. It makes us feel like fists hitting cotton, but this so-called three-dimensional warfare The deeper it goes, the more disadvantageous it will be for Xiao Letian personally!"
At this point, Yang Zhi glanced at the empty dragon chair and said quietly, "Xiao Letian seems to have suffered from saint's disease! Doesn't he know? The more he uses his set of strategies and tactics, the closer he is to this chair. The further away you go..."
Everyone in Dongnuan Pavilion finally had their hearts in their stomachs. Yang Zhi had indeed saved a trick. This guy really didn't catch the rabbit and didn't let the eagle fly. It was only now that Xiao Letian's background was revealed.
Cixi pondered for a moment, then turned around and whispered a few words into Ci'an's ear, and Ci'an nodded her head. At the end, Ci'an said softly, "Let's do this for now. It's getting late today. Since everyone thinks the situation is not that urgent and there are plans, let's go home and think about it..."
"Zhou Daoying! You send Master Weng and Master Yang...the two imperial uncles will stay for the time being and let the imperial kitchen prepare a table. On the first day of the new year, we will be treated as sisters-in-law and celebrate the festival with the two uncles!" "
"Hey..." Zhou Daoying looked at the chiming clock on the table. It was only after four in the afternoon, and it was still too late to pass the meal.
"Two adults, please come this way!" After saying that, he led the old man and Yang Zhi out of the Yangxin Hall.
The three of them crossed the threshold of the Yangxin Hall and stood in the small courtyard in front of the hall. The old man smiled and said, "There's no need to see us off. It's a serious matter for you to go to the imperial kitchen to prepare wine and food. Just ask the eunuch to see it off. Anyway, this is far away from the outer court." It’s also close…”
"Haha, Mr. Weng is feeling sorry for me, so I won't be polite... Mr. Yang needs to have a good drink when he gets home! As I expected, your big day is coming!"
Yang Zhi quickly raised his hand and saluted, "TOEFL, TOEFL! I'm borrowing your good words! It's not the New Year until the fifth day of the 5th. I'll ask the housekeeper to prepare a New Year's greeting and send it to my house. Father-in-law, please don't laugh at me for being poor..."
"Hahaha... How could it be possible? Mr. Yang is the God of Wealth in the Qing Dynasty. You hold the bond printing press in your hands. How can you be so poor? I won't be polite to you. I'll leave first. Already..."
Weng Tonghe watched Zhou Daoying walk towards the imperial dining room. He didn't lift his feet but looked at Yang Zhi with a smile, which made him go crazy. "Haha! Mr. Yang, it's not a good feeling to be a second minister..."
