In Qi Yu's view, the King of Luzon did not agree to annex his territory to Qiongzhou. This move was completely reasonable and there was nothing surprising.
Why do you say that?
There are two reasons.
First, the communication between the two parties is general, and there is no accumulation of trust. Even if they meet, there is a lot of falsehood. How can someone rashly rely on such a perfunctory relationship?
Secondly, Annan wanted to capture Luzon, but it was still in the preparation stage and had not really been realized. In this case, it was unlikely that the King of Luzon would show a low profile, which also included his policy towards Joan.
This is the current situation.
It is precisely in view of these two points that Duan Zicheng proposed to use the "drag" technique to deal with it.
To put it bluntly, he just wanted to wait for the King of Luzon to shed tears without seeing the coffin, and finally be forced to come over to beg for help, and then achieve his own goal.
Procrastination is indeed a feasible method, but Qi Yu doesn't want to waste it like this.
He felt that this matter could not be allowed to develop naturally and must be intervened manually, otherwise the process would be too slow and uncontrollable. You know, in half a year's time, I will be taking up my post in Beijing. If Annan still doesn't start the war by then, won't I be in the awkward position of being far away from the war?
Therefore, it is necessary to create artificial momentum to promote the formation of a confrontation between the two countries. Only in this way can we seize the initiative.
Duan Zicheng saw the decisive look on his face and asked, "Looking at your appearance, does it mean that you have some good ideas?"
Qi Yu didn't hide anything and told him directly: "Actually, I intend to provoke a small local war that is within our control..."
oh? Want to fight?
Duan Zicheng was slightly startled when he heard this. In his impression, Mr. Qi had always been a low-key scholar who upheld the principle of accumulating grain, building high walls, and slowly becoming king. Why did he suddenly change his attitude today and have the idea of taking the initiative? ?
However, if you think about it carefully, this strategy is very forward-looking and a good and feasible idea. In particular, creating and intensifying conflicts will help prepare Mr. Qi for his future tenure.
Once the story is written carefully, one can get a glimpse of its meaning.
Continue the analysis on creating conflict.
Operationally speaking, it is not difficult to achieve this, but the difficulty lies in the word 'controllable'. Let's put it this way, once an impulsive and complex situation arises, can Qiongzhou be able to deal with it?
Qi Yu thinks: Yes!
So, are you sure?
have!
Because we have the strength!
Didn’t we say before that only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you win every battle? Okay, let's talk about the real strength of this 'that' now.
According to reports from the spies who were released, Annan's son did indeed purchase a lot of firearms from the French people, which indeed played a role in improving his strength. However, it is still far from the strength of Xiong Wang.
Objectively speaking, Annan now is somewhat similar to King Yong in his heyday.
This sounds quite powerful at first sight, but now Qiongzhou is no longer what it used to be, and it is basically not afraid of the entire South China Sea. With Annan's current strength, he was still a scum being rubbed on the ground in front of Qiongzhou.
In short, in absolute terms
In the face of strength, any trick or trick is just a paper tiger that can be flattened instantly. No matter how hard you try, it will be useless.
Well, if you have strength, you are sure. This is logical!
Duan Zicheng nodded when he heard this, then made a murderous gesture and said, "My lord, you want to start a dispute, but I don't know where to start?"
Qi Yu chuckled and said: "There are many ways to provoke disputes, and you don't necessarily have to use force. In my opinion, using the simplest method to accomplish big things is the best strategy." After a pause, He continued: "I plan to start with the Qiongzhou Xunbao and use the power of this media to get started."
"how do I say this?"
"Listen to me in detail..."
The specific operation is: write and publish a current commentary in Qi Yu's own name, introducing the experience of the mission to Luzon and the results achieved in an unabashed manner.
The article must clearly state that Qiongzhou's mission to Luzon is only to strengthen and expand economic and trade cooperation, and has no other intentions.
Judging from the surface of the article, it is an ordinary report on current affairs and there is nothing special about it. However, from the perspective of a politician, this article implies a foreign attitude that is worthy of appreciation and speculation.
In fact, Qi Yu wanted to send two signals to the outside world through this article.
First of all, it is a hint to Annan: the purpose of our visit to Luzon is to make more money, and has no other meaning, but we must not think that we have formed an alliance. You can fight and talk when you need to, and you don’t have to care about what I, Qiongzhou, think at all. In short, I watch, you do whatever you want.
In the same way, this gesture can be regarded as a tactful warning to Lu Song: Don't think that Qiongzhou will speak for you after accepting your ore. This is not a good thing at all, unless your country can achieve a "great enlightenment". Take refuge in me, Qiong, otherwise there will never be any help.
This, this, this, can newspapers be used like this?
Duan Zicheng was so shocked that his mouth could almost fit into a big goose egg.
In his opinion, most of the reports in the public are just rumors that only make people laugh, and they cannot be put on the stage at all. However, he did not expect that Mr. Qi actually used it in diplomacy.
Although this method costs very little, it can accurately express one's political stance. It can definitely be regarded as a magical move.
Now that Mr. Qi has begun to use his brain, how can he not express his role as his secret advisor?
So, after Duan Zicheng praised him highly, he cupped his hands and admonished him: "Duan has a plan to make things even better. Please judge me."
"Oh? Sir, if you have any clever ideas, tell me quickly!" Qi Yu said, first surprised and then delighted.
"In this way, I want to divide the knights under my command into two waves and carry out their own actions. One wave will return to Luzon and be responsible for protecting the king in secret to prevent him from being killed by others. The other wave will pretend to be Luzon. The Song assassin pretended to assassinate the king of Annan, and used this to intensify their conflicts and trigger the birth of this war. Once the war starts, the King of Luzon will be unable to withstand the pressure and will most likely come to Qiongzhou."
This trick is really good!
Qiongzhou Yifang became both a director and an actor, and finally managed to manipulate the two kings. Although the method was a little deceitful, it was very practical.
After Qi Dalang appreciated it, he decided on the spot: Let’s do it!
After chatting for a few more words, the two left Tianzi Pier together and ran home respectively.
The New Year is coming soon, so let’s go home and reunite. Today’s reception banquet is not as good as making up for it another day.
become!
…
The next day, New Year's Eve.
After Qi Yu posted the Spring Festival couplets written by himself in the morning sun, he left home mysteriously and strode towards Mahan's private house.
Is he going to pay homage to his early years?
No, but there are other important things to do.
Is such that.
It is said that the merchants of the Valois Kingdom headed by Lebre, after reselling tiger balm and cheongsam for a period of time, made an extraordinary amount of money. It is said that their rich and wealthy appearance is almost as good as The salesman's grandson with his nostrils turned upward.
Yes, all these foreigners made a fortune.
To be more precise, it should be that he made a lot of money with Master Qi's permission and care.
After tasting the sweetness, they began to have long-term ideas for managing personal relationships.
It is common knowledge that Chinese people strongly advocate the noble virtue of drinking water and remembering its source. They believe that one must be deeply grateful to those who have helped them, otherwise they will be the so-called snobbery.
After understanding this philosophical Chinese sentence, foreigners immediately decided to show their gratitude and protect their future financial prospects.
So, how should we feel this gratitude?
Of course, it’s done with actual actions. Is it possible that we should just use words to talk about it?
So, they all wisely chose 'Yours sincerely'.
What a teachable kid!
Qi Yu was always open to the filial piety of foreigners. After praising him eloquently, he was suddenly stunned by the special gift.
What's wrong?
Niang Xipi is really blinding~~
Looking closely, the gift box contains two diamonds, one large and one small. The large one is like a quail egg, and the small one is like a peanut. Under visual inspection, both of them are extraordinary.
Accept it!
After accepting it, Qi Yu immediately went to Mahan and asked him to process it overnight to make it into exquisite jewelry. As for time, it must be completed before the first day of the new year.
Today is New Year's Eve, the last day of the appointment.
This section went well!
Qi Yu got his wish and got two privately customized diamond necklaces.
"Tsk, tsk, it's so beautiful. It goes well with that cheongsam..."
"Will my wife scream with laughter at this New Year's gift?"
Look, in the sunshine, Qi Dalang was muttering to himself to the colorful diamond necklace. He was smiling and intoxicated, not caring about the weird looks from passers-by.
"I said...what is that in your hand?"
Suddenly, a sweet and melodious voice came, as clear and crisp as an oriole coming out of the valley, and it made people feel soothed all over.
Who?
Qi Yu raised his eyes and looked around, only to see Yin Tao looking at her like a little obsessed girl.
