Yes, the King of Luzon came here in the name of a return visit.
What does this mean?
Let’s listen to the table:
Years ago, Qiongzhou sent an envoy to visit Luzon with great fanfare. Five warships in total went to Luzon, including four small ones and one large one. It can be said that it gave the country enough face. With such a heavy courtesy, how could it not be done without a return visit? ?
Diplomacy also pays attention to courtesy and reciprocity.
This sounds a bit like ordinary people visiting relatives?
Well, almost.
Although this metaphor is somewhat inconsistent in terms of level, it is very close in nature.
"Ahem, a friend is coming from afar, isn't that right?"
After Qi Yu laughed for a while, he said loudly: "Well, welcome with a big gift!"
Big gift?
Seeing that Mr. Qi attaches great importance to it, the junior officials hurriedly responded loudly: "Yes!"
Afterwards, Qi Yu put on his formal clothes, mounted a tall horse, and, escorted by a group of mighty honor guards, ran majestically to the Tianzi Pier.
Less leaning, even.
Liao Wang saw a tattered, rotten wood ship docked on the shore of the pier. If it weren't for the green flags fluttering in the wind, symbolizing its special status, who would have thought that this ship belonged to an official family. What about the ships?
Their broken ship is even older than the ones eliminated by the Hai Dafu family, let alone compared with the warships in service in Qiongzhou.
well……
Luzon is indeed not an ordinary poor place!
At this time, Tan Junyan quietly stepped forward and said softly: "Sir, the King of Luzon did not come empty-handed. He gave us ten full boxes of gold as a gift to meet you."
Um? What does it mean?
Do you want to throw money at me?
Really, if you want to smash it, be more ruthless. How can ten boxes of gold be enough?
Qi Yu grinded his teeth and continued to look up.
But he saw a short but imposing middle-aged man standing on the deck of the broken ship. Thinking of it, he was the King of Luzon that he had longed for.
For the sake of money, Qi Yu put on a friendly smile, walked forward enthusiastically, then firmly held the king's hand and said, "Your Majesty, thank you for your hard work..."
"Uh-huh-huh-huh..."
Cough, spit!
Where is the interpreter?
At this time, two young men came out quickly and took over the translation work.
With the help of interpreters from both sides, Qi Dalang and the King of Luzon had a meeting
A relatively simple greeting.
Then, the two of them turned around together and prepared to disembark.
The only thing that needs to be mentioned is that the King of Luzon seems to be very familiar with our Chinese etiquette, and he actually took the initiative to stay half a step behind to show his humility.
Qi Yu glanced behind him seemingly inadvertently, and then he ordered Jingcheng Fuxian in the military room in front of him: "Fire the cannon!"
The latter immediately understood and responded loudly: "Yes!"
ignition! fire!
Bang bang bang...
drink! With this momentum, he was not greeting the distinguished guests, he was clearly just trying to impress them!
It's indeed very similar.
Look, the beads of sweat on King Luzon's forehead are almost as big as newly cultivated peanuts.
Finally, the cannon firing was over.
Qi Yu nodded with satisfaction and said loudly: "Below, there are distinguished guests coming from afar to inspect our Qiongzhou amphibious honor guard!"
"Roar!"
review……
What the hell?
This new word confused the interpreter from Luzon.
I really don’t understand!
It is conceivable that the King of Luzon was even more confused when he couldn't even understand the translation. He had no choice but to act like a puppet at the mercy of others, moving according to Qi Yu's direction.
However, he was puzzled: in his impression, China did not seem to have this kind of etiquette. Could it be that it was only fashionable recently?
Well, it's possible!
No matter what, the King of Luzon still followed Qi Dalang through the journey like a sleepwalker.
If there is any impression, it is that Qiongzhou's military power is domineering, and it has a kingly spirit of killing gods when seeing gods and killing Buddhas when meeting Buddhas.
Of course, this was Qi Yu's deliberate display of domineering. The purpose was to show off his well-developed muscles and express a kind of psychological stimulation that "you won't suffer any loss if you hang out with me."
In fact, the King of Luzon knew this very well, but he was still happy to see the extremely powerful Qiongzhou.
You know, only the truly strong can protect others. If you can't even take care of yourself, how can you talk about helping each other?
Back to business.
After the review ceremony was completed, Qi Yu ordered his attendants to prepare an exquisite welcome carriage to carry the King of Luzon to the reception hall of the government office to discuss political affairs.
At this point, the entire welcome ceremony has come to a successful end.
Generally speaking, the standards this time were set very high, which was enough to satisfy the King of Luzon.
No
Having said that, his status is that of the king of a country, and he does deserve such treatment.
On the way back, Qi Yu did not go back the same way, but deliberately made a big detour and slipped around on the "Kangzhuang Avenue" in the new city.
From time to time, he also asked the King of Luzon to get out of the car to visit and comment on how well the new city was built.
There are many ways to show off your muscles, and soft skills are one of them.
And, the effect is very obvious.
Yes.
In front of such emerging things, King Luzon was like a country idiot who couldn't understand anything. Out of curiosity, he kept asking this and that. He was not only shocked but also shocked.
But Qi Yu smiled meaningfully and said, "Have you ever wanted to live such a life, Your Majesty? If so, I will help you build such a palace."
After hearing this, King Luzon looked sad, as if he had something in mind.
Finally, after struggling for a long time, the group finally arrived at the government office of Qiongzhou Mansion.
Then there was another small welcome ceremony, the main door of the Yamen opened, and then the host and guest entered with drum beats on the handrails.
Next, it’s time for the meeting.
For this section, Qi Yu chose to talk privately alone.
That is, no one else will be present except for necessary interpreters.
…
"Your Majesty, how do you think the development of our Qiongzhou is going?" As soon as he sat down, Qi Yu crossed his legs and asked with a good feeling on his face.
"Well, it's very prosperous! It's prosperous! It's also very powerful!" The King of Luzon didn't have too many compliments. Instead, he used the three most straightforward words "very" to summarize, and his attitude was also very sincere.
Yes, he was indeed shocked by what he saw and heard today. How could he dare to put on airs?
As far as the current Qiongzhou is concerned, there is indeed enough strength to protect Luzon. There is no doubt about this.
Between countries, there are also big and small figures. Worshiping the strong is a common feature of ancient and modern times, even overseas countries are no exception.
Seeing that his attitude was so upright, Qi Yu stopped scolding him and went straight to the point, tentatively asking about the business: "You are here, what do you mean?"
"Uh...it's nothing important. It's just a return visit, a return visit!" King Luzon responded calmly according to the draft he had made in advance.
Qi Yu was not surprised by this. Nothing had been settled yet, so how could he sincerely submit to him as soon as he got started?
However, it all depends on human effort, let’s see how I persuade him.
