Yan Qi looked at Xu Tianhu with a smile but not a smile: "How do you say this?"
Xu Tianhu analyzed Yan Qi seriously: "Brother-in-law, think about it carefully. Obi Qiu is clearly trying to evade this."
"He just wants to default on the debt. If he doesn't pay him now, he won't give him any money when he gets Yizhou. And if he doesn't give us money, there's nothing we can do to him."
Yan Qi laughed loudly and poked Xu Tianhu's forehead with his finger: "You brat, you don't even think about it. You can figure this problem out, so why can't I figure it out?"
Xu Tianhu rubbed his forehead: "Yes, I can think of the problem, how could my brother-in-law not think of it? I reminded my brother-in-law with a proud face. I am really stupid."
Yan Qidao: "It's not that you are stupid, but that you haven't thought deeply. Even Obi Qiu is stuck in the logical category you just mentioned."
"Huzi, I can tell you clearly that we are going to settle on these 50 million taels of silver. It will not be less, and it may be doubled."
Xu Tianhu asked Yan Qi with an expectant look on his face: "That's great, but why do I feel so worried about letting Obi Qiu get Yizhou? It seems that he has taken a huge advantage."
Yan Qi laughed loudly: "What advantage can he take? Let me tell you, Yizhou is also ours. Obiqiu just snatched Yizhou from Tokugawa Taiyasu for us."
"In other words, Obiqiu is our free labor force, and he is also the kind with infinite strength."
Xu Tianhu was stunned and couldn't believe it: "Is it so magical?"
Yan Qi had a stinking look on his face: "We'll see."
Xu Tianhu said: "If brother-in-law can get Yizhou, then our power in the South China Sea will be considered impregnable. Yizhou, Sukwan, Temasek, plus Kairen, all the powers in the South China Sea will be completely controlled by us. "
Yan Qi said: "Don't be too happy too soon, you still need to do one thing."
Xu Tianhu said: "Brother-in-law, please explain, I promise to complete the task."
Yan Qidao: "You quickly send people to set up dragnets on the five waterways leading to the South China Sea. All people and ships coming from Europe will be detained and not allowed to enter the South China Sea."
Xu Tianhu clenched his fists: "Yes, I will arrange it immediately."
Yan Qi flew from Europe to the South China Sea in a hot air balloon.
As fast as a flying bird.
Also setting off at the same time as Yan Qi were people sent by Pope Berg, as well as people sent by European dignitaries.
They all came to Obiqiu to mediate.
But when they took a merchant ship, they were not even a fraction slower than Yan Qi.
Yan Qi calculated based on the distance of the waterway, people coming from Europe were about to enter the South China Sea.
Yan Qi wants Xu Tianhu to ambush a large number of soldiers and arrest the spy sent from Europe first to avoid leaking the news to Obi Qiu.
Only in this way can Obiqiu have the leisure and elegance to blackmail Tokugawa Taiyasu.
If the news of the civil strife in Europe had been known to Obiqiu earlier, would Obiqiu still be able to stay in the South China Sea? Why don't you slap your butt and fly back to Europe?
…
Sure enough, in the next seven or eight days, Xu Tianhu intercepted four or five waves of spies sent from Europe.
Yan Qi went to interrogate these details in person.
As expected, they came to inform Obiqiu and implored him to return to Europe immediately to take charge of the overall situation to avoid civil strife in Europe.
Yan Qi kept them under tight control.
Give them good food and drink.
But just won't let them leave.
Yan Qi is waiting, waiting for Ou Biqiu to get the good news from Yizhou.
At this moment, Obiqiu was leading an army of 500,000 men, charging directly into the Japanese mainland.
Following closely behind Obiqiu's army was Tokugawa Taiyasu's navy fleet.
Tokugawa Taiyasu was going crazy.
He simply didn't understand why Obiqiu insisted on attacking the Japanese mainland.
This is obviously a bad thing that hurts both sides.
But why can’t Obiqiu figure it out?
If the two of them fight more fiercely, they will definitely perish together.
In the end, Yan Qi took advantage.
Moreover, Tokugawa Taikang could not let the war happen on the Japanese mainland under any circumstances.
Because, for decades, he has been painstakingly managing the South China Sea.
If a war broke out on the Japanese mainland, wouldn't his hard work in the South China Sea be ruined?
From now on, he will never be remembered in history again.
It will also directly affect his existing rights and future status.
Therefore, no matter what, Tokugawa Taikang must prevent Obiqiu from attacking the Japanese mainland.
But what Tokugawa Taiyasu couldn't figure out was that he had already told Obiqiu how powerful it was to attack the Japanese mainland, and Obiqiu also agreed not to attack the Japanese mainland.
But why did this happen to be reversed?
Who gave me the eye drops?
Although Tokugawa Taiyasu was confused, without further ado, he pursued Obiqiu frantically.
Finally, three days later, Tokugawa Taiyasu took a speedboat, broke away from the large group, and took a certain risk to catch up with Obiqiu's ship: "High Priest, please stay, listen to me, listen to my words."
In fact, Obiqiu deliberately slowed down to lure Tokugawa Taiyasu into taking the bait.
Obiqiu asked Tokugawa Taiyasu to get on the big boat. He looked very angry and asked blankly: "Tokugawa Taiyasu, what are you doing here? Why are you chasing me? Do you believe that I will throw you into the sea to feed the fish?" "
Tokugawa Taiyasu accompanied him with a smile: "Where is the high priest going?"
Obiqiu was very angry: "Do you even need to ask? I want to attack the Japanese country. Tokugawa Taiyasu, if you know the truth, get out of the way, otherwise, I will beat you up as well."
Tokugawa Taiyasu said: "Why is the high priest so angry? Let's calm down, okay?"
Obiqiu smiled coldly: "You asked me to calm down, but have you ever thought about how I calm down? You deceived me from Europe, but I didn't get any benefit. Do you want me to return empty-handed?"
"There is no other way. For my personal interests and my personal honor and disgrace, I must attack the Japanese country and get what belongs to me."
Tokugawa Taiyasu became anxious and had no choice but to threaten Obiqiu: "The high priest should also know that our Japanese navy is not easy to mess with. The Japanese navy is the most powerful navy in the South China Sea."
"And I have informed the Japanese country of the news a long time ago. The Japanese country has been prepared for it. Even though the high priest is very ambitious, if we encounter our Japanese navy, the greatest possibility is that both sides will lose."
"So, the high priest won't get the slightest advantage in attacking the Japanese mainland. Instead, he will lose his troops and his combat power will be reduced sharply. Do you want half a million European naval troops to die in the South China Sea?"
Obiqiu couldn't help but smile after hearing this.
Because Tokugawa Taiyasu’s words and routines were exactly the same as those described by Yan Qi.
First talk softly and then threaten him.
If Obiqiu had not received Yan Qi's guidance, he would have followed Tokugawa Taikang's thinking logic and would not have attacked the Japanese mainland.
It's a pity that Obi Qiu has been brainwashed by Yan Qi.
Tokugawa Taiyasu's logic was wrong in Obi's mind.
