This big ship was filled with gold ore.
According to Duan Zicheng, all these good things were gifts from the King of Luzon in return.
Spend a fortune?
Tsk tsk, it’s different for people who have mines at home. In one word: trench!
It can be seen that the King of Luzon is an honest man who is worthy of "deep friendship". It seems that in the future we must keep frequent contacts and the relationship cannot be broken.
Right idea!
With a happy mood, Qi Yu looked left and right, and inspected all the gold ore in the entire ship. After that, he concluded: "The gold ore produced in Luzon is indeed of high quality, which is really impressive. I'm jealous!"
This comment is very pertinent and objective.
In fact, there are gold mines in Qiongzhou, but if the quality is less than one-fifth of what it is now, alas, you really have to compare and throw it away!
However, what made Qi Dalang even more jealous was that the gold mine in Qiongzhou not only had a low gold content, but was also difficult to mine because it was "deep and hidden". After a whole year of hard work this year, he only made a few dozen kilograms. It's really sad to think about it. Ah!
You think it would be great if the gold mines in Luzon were born in Qiongzhou?
"well……"
Duan Zicheng was like a roundworm in Mr. Qi's belly. He guessed his thoughts accurately and said with a smile: "Sir, if Luzon is willing to transfer its domestic gold mines to our Qiongzhou, will you accept it? Or will you accept it?" Don’t want to accept it?”
"What are you talking about! How can you refuse to accept something that is delivered to your door? What's more, it is a high-quality gold mine!" After this exciting emotion, Qi Yu asked curiously: "Mr. Duan, what do you mean? What does this mean? Could it be that the King of Luzon gave us the mining rights of the gold mine to Qiongzhou?"
"What's the point of asking for his mining rights? I want their ownership rights!" Duan Zicheng laughed and said: "My idea is to incorporate Luzon into the territory of our Qiongzhou Prefecture!"
oh……
You want to destroy his country!
It's not difficult, but the problem is...
Huh! wrong!
He just said that Luzon was annexed to the territory of Qiongzhou Prefecture, not to Dafeng State. The two meanings are completely different.
There must be something fishy in this!
Qi Yu looked around, and when he saw no one there, he said, "Mr. Duan, when you went to Luzon, did you do something big?"
"It's not like stealing the sky! However, I did do some operations, but I didn't really succeed, but it doesn't matter. I think as long as it takes a while, the matter will most likely be successful..." Duan Zicheng replied .
"What operation, please tell me!"
"yes!"
After that, Duan Zicheng explained the whole story in general, while Qi Yu listened and thought, and added a sentence from time to time. However, as the topic continued to deepen, his expression began to become serious.
This visit to Luzon is of great significance.
Yes, this trip is not only of great economic benefit, but also an ice-breaking trip politically. It can be said to kill two birds with one stone. However, in addition to economic, trade and political aspects, the two sides also exchanged views on 'core issues' of mutual concern.
Let’s talk one by one.
Let’s talk about the King of Luzon first. He still has a positive attitude towards this friendly mission to Qiongzhou. Especially, after he saw that group of hard-core battleships in person, his attitude became even lower.
Duan Zicheng's performance was quite grand. He first conveyed the cordial greetings of the prefect of Qi to the King of Luzon as if it were serious, and then publicly declared that he was the best friend of the people of Qiongzhou for generations.
friend.
Nice atmosphere!
As we chatted, the topic began to deepen gradually, and slowly we started to discuss the issue of Annan.
So, what is the attitude of the King of Luzon towards this?
This is actually the case.
On the surface, he behaves very generously and fearlessly, with a kind of heroic spirit like a king defending the city boldly when foreign enemies invade. However, privately, he begged and said that now he was living in inexplicable fear every day, feeling that everything was surrounded by soldiers, and he was in constant panic. He very much hoped that Mr. Qi would be kind and righteous and extend a helping hand of military aid.
Hearing this, Qi Yu was a little confused: "I said, this King of Luzon is completely different in front of people and behind the scenes. I don't know why?"
Duan Zicheng smiled and replied: "The purpose of his move is to avoid his country-protecting general Fu Xi, and then he took a measure to confuse the public..."
"Oh? What's going on?"
"Sir, please don't be impatient and listen to me..."
"..."
It turned out that Annan's desire to annex Luzon was not a unilateral covetous move by the Monkey Kingdom, but a conspiracy between King Annan and General Fuxi.
What does this mean?
In short, the two of them are in a relationship of mutual use, each seeking what they need. The former is eager for golden rewards, while the latter is seeking to usurp the throne and take power. Therefore, the two of them have the same chemistry and can just hit it off.
Faced with this level of internal and external troubles, the King of Luzon really couldn't sit still.
He told Duan Zi Chengming that he had trouble sleeping and eating, and he was not satisfied with his food. This was indeed not an exaggeration.
Put it this way.
If he only faced the threat from Annan, the King of Luzon could also call on the people to resist in a corner. But now, our own powerful general is having an affair with the enemy, colluding inside and outside to conspire together. This situation is a bit difficult to deal with.
Especially this General Fuxi. Once he succeeds in usurping the throne, all the royal families in Luzon will face being slaughtered and liquidated by him. Not to mention the Bao family, it is estimated that even his own ancestral graves will be ripped off. If that happens, Probably not even a whole body could be saved.
It is really like walking on thin ice, and one misstep will cause eternal regret!
At this difficult time, Duan Zicheng, the special envoy of Qiongzhou Prefecture, floated over for a visit on a muscle-like giant warship. How could the King of Luzon not ask for this good opportunity?
This is what smart people do!
When asking for help from someone, you will inevitably have to make some kind of gesture, so why not give them a boatload of gold ore as a greeting gift?
Etiquette is really strict!
However, the cunning Duan Zicheng didn't buy it.
While he accepted the ore obediently, he also secretly investigated what was going on. He was once a junior minister in the cabinet, and his insight was not ordinary. How could he be deceived by appearances?
After careful inquiry by the swordsmen under his command, the whole story was quickly figured out.
After weighing the situation, Duan Zicheng did not retreat but advanced, and actually boldly came up with the great idea of merging Luzon Kingdom into Qiongzhou Prefecture.
ah!
Couldn't this become Luzon County, Qiongzhou Prefecture?
um, yes!
How can that work?
The King of Luzon refused almost without thinking.
However, after he calmed down, he asked another question that made him deeply curious: What would be the benefits of annexing Luzon to Qiongzhou?
Haha, finally on the road!
Duan Zicheng was very calm and composed, and stated his reasons magnificently.
For Qiongzhou, An
The Southern Kingdom's attack on Luzon is a war fought by other countries and has nothing to do with itself at all. If you rashly participate in it, you will end up being militaristic and provocative, and you will most likely be questioned by the court.
It would be different if Luzon was annexed to Qiongzhou. Lord Qi raised his sword to protect the territory under his jurisdiction, and even pointed his sword at Annan. This was a well-known move, and it was justified and no one else had the right to point it out. !
Well……
Although this sounds reasonable, it is uncomfortable: Although Luzon is small, it is also a majestic ancient country. If it stoops and becomes a county town, wouldn't it make the world laugh?
I can’t save my face!
Although the King of Luzon was a little unhappy, he did not get angry and angry, but secretly considered the gains and losses.
Upon seeing this, Duan Zicheng hurriedly took the opportunity to reason again: if Luzon is not incorporated into Qiongzhou's territory, the final result will be a dead end. And by then, not only will the people here be in ruins, but even the royal family members will not be able to survive. Is it sad or not? Look, in this vast South China Sea, only I, Qiongzhou, have such power, you have no choice!
Um?
Why don't you nod your head happily?
snort!
In this case, then think about it with your toes!
After finishing his harsh words, Duan Zicheng started to use gentle tactics again: Your Majesty, if you join me in Qiongzhou, it will definitely be a wise move praised by everyone. Don't abandon the Yangguan Road to cross the single-plank bridge... …
In recent years, our government has been advocating the policy of "reforming the natives and returning them to the locals", and has shown great concern for the minority ethnic groups and Tibetan states that have surrendered...
Let's put it this way, if your Majesty decides to submit to Qiongzhou, except that you will not be able to participate in daily governance, everything else will remain the same. You are still the king of Luzon and continue to enjoy your unique glory and wealth. Others have no right to interfere or deprive you of it, so what is there to worry about? In addition, you and your royal family can take a share of the annual income generated by the people of Luzon. Your descendants will be as rich as the world, and there will be no end...
What?
Richest in the world?
That’s bullshit, I, Luzon, am a poor place, where do I get my unrealistic dreams of luxury?
wrong!
Duan Zicheng first rejected his point of view, and then immediately threw out the pie that Qi Yu had drawn, and said: I, Qiongzhou, have a yield of ten thousand kilograms of divine food from heaven...
I mean, do you want it?
this……
Duan Zicheng made it clear: This is indeed true!
real?
Um!
King Luzon's inner defenses began to loosen a little.
Alas, it is better to live gloriously than to die like a pig or a dog!
That's right, Qi Yu is just the prefect. Can he have the final say on such a big matter?
able! Absolutely!
In this regard, Duan Zicheng patted his chest and made a guarantee, and explained: When Mr. Qi accepted the emperor's order and went south to Qiongzhou, the Holy Emperor gave him the special right to act expediently. He has this right, why can't he stop it?
Hey, that’s right!
Then I should think about it again?
Since then, the King of Luzon has begun his hesitant life...
However, Duan Zicheng signaled to him and said: "Don't rush, don't rush. You can think about it slowly. When you really make a decision, you can come to Qiongzhou Fucheng to see Mr. Qi in person and report."
Haha, I hold the seven inches of your worm, are you afraid that you will walk it away?
After hearing this, Qi Yu couldn't help but narrow his eyes. Although his face was calm, his heart was full of emotions.
Well, if we can get this done, the future will be extremely variable...
