Half an hour later.
On the rippling sea level, a group of mighty warships suddenly appeared. Looking at the flags they hung, it was a huge word "Qiong".
ah!
Xiaotong and his party finally returned.
As for the special ship that Leng Qing was riding on, it happened to be together with the expedition fleet. For a moment, it was impossible to tell them apart.
"Daddy!"
"Baby girl!"
"..."
After meeting, Qi Yu immediately invited the two of them to the cabin for a private discussion.
He wanted to know what kind of latest news these two people had brought back.
Let's talk about Qi Xiaotong first. She and her father have been separated for a long time. At this time, she misses Zhengyin. She originally thought of having sex with her father and was almost acting coquettishly. However, she saw that his handsome face was full of melancholy, which seemed to be quite rhetorical.
Alas, no need to guess, he must be struggling with the matter of massacring the prisoners. And what he is about to face is likely to be his severe admonishment.
scolded? How did this happen?
I have to think of a way to suppress my father's anger.
Well, that's it.
I saw her wonderful eyes flashing, and she said with a smile: "Father, does he know that while I was slaughtering the prisoners of the Franco Kingdom, I also received an unexpected surprise?"
What?
Is there joy in massacre? What kind of logic is this?
Sure enough, this sudden curiosity successfully diverted Qi Dalang's attention, and the clouds on his face suddenly dissipated, and he turned into confusion: "Oh... tell me, where does the joy in your mouth come from? Come?"
Xiaotong replied with a smile: "My daughter killed the foreign devils, but she captured the hearts of the people in Dawan..."
"Don't be pretentious, tell us in detail."
"yes!"
Next, it’s time for Xiaotong’s stand-up comedy performance. She spoke eloquently and vividly, recounting what happened in Dawan very vividly.
According to her reflection, during the colonization of Dawan, the Francois committed all kinds of robbery and plunder, and the conflict with the local indigenous people was fierce. Over time, the two sides became incompatible with each other. It can even be said that the local chronicles of that place are a history of blood and tears full of sadness.
However, just when they were desperate, the righteous masters of Qiongzhou suddenly descended from the sky and beat these red-haired ghosts who usually seemed to be arrogant until they cried for their fathers and mothers all over the ground.
And the scene where Qi Xiaotong shot the prisoners of war directly shocked everyone's hearts, and a sense of elation and elation that they had never experienced before arose spontaneously, not only feeling comfortable but also feeling comfortable.
This killing brought obvious stimulation, and invisibly, the relationship between the Qiongzhou Army and the local indigenous people became much closer. The basis is that when Xiaotong led his army into
The moment he entered the city, the people lined the streets to welcome him, as if they were welcoming their own hero.
It can be seen that the people are attached to it!
Qi Xiaotong discerned appearance and was keenly aware of this. Since Qiongzhou and Dawan are compatible, why not take advantage of the trend and push it?
So, how should we push it?
I still remember that when my father annexed Luzon, he used a method to induce the other party to surrender. Why not learn from it?
You must know that voluntary surrender and forced surrender by force are two completely different properties, and the former can better reflect that one's own virtue is to convince others, rather than forcing others to submit.
This move has many benefits, at least it will take the initiative in public opinion.
Okay, that's it.
Under the guidance of this general policy, Xiaotong specially found several local indigenous leaders and took the opportunity to propose to them the reform of the civil service system, so as to create conditions for future governance methods.
But she never expected that all the leaders would agree unanimously after she said it casually.
Because they had a very good impression of Xiaotong.
In the senses of the indigenous people, Xiaotong is a celestial being like the reincarnation of Mazu. She punishes evil and promotes good, supports justice, and uses her strength to save people from fire and water.
Her brazen shot not only killed the Westerner at once, but also captured the hearts of the people. As far as the current Dawan is concerned, if there is a chivalrous and courageous woman like her to protect him, how can he be humiliated again?
Change the soil and return to the current world...
no problem!
No matter what, this is better than the previous situation of no one caring about and no one asking.
For the sake of formality, Xiaotong also asked the indigenous leaders to write a letter of surrender as proof. The general meaning is that they surrendered voluntarily, not by force. As long as Mr. Qi approves it, they will be regarded as people of Qiongzhou Prefecture.
After saying that, Xiaotong asked: "Father, do you agree?"
"Accurate! Of course it must be accurate!" Qi Yu held the page of surrender in both hands and laughed.
I have to say that this book came at just the right time, and it was a timely help.
It not only gave a righteous endorsement for its own expansion, but also used its words to block Youyou's mouth. Even when faced with the emperor's questioning, she could have something to say.
Seeing this, Xiaotong smiled and said: "Father, although I have done a little bit of things that are against the will of heaven, I have brought you this precious letter of surrender. This can be regarded as a balance between merit and demerit, right? "
"Okay, okay, you're a ghost, then... let's forget it!"
Qi Yu, who was in a good mood, smiled freely, and the remaining harshness disappeared with this smile.
Seeing that Xiaotong had finished her report, Leng Qing started talking about her own
Probing results.
"Master Qi, I found out an important military information for you in Annan."
"Oh? Considering the situation in front of Annan, what other major military information can be revealed?"
“Not only that, but it’s huge!”
"Well……"
You must know that Leng Qing was born as an internal guard and pursued truth from facts in everything. She would never exaggerate deliberately, so what she said should be quite reliable.
Thinking of this, Qi Yu quickly straightened his expression and said solemnly: "Sister Leng, tell me, what did you find out?"
"Maybe you don't know that the news of Xiaotong's massacre of prisoners of war spread like wildfire, and soon reached the ears of the nobles of the Franji Kingdom who were visiting Annan. This incident aroused their rage." Leng. Qing said sternly.
"What? They still dare to get angry?" Qi Yu couldn't help but snorted coldly after hearing this, and said calmly: "I really want to see what their anger looks like!"
"This time, they have indeed taken action. It is said that they have sent a request for help to nearby colonies. It is scheduled to launch a fierce military attack on Qiongzhou in the middle of next year to repay the hatred accumulated in recent years." Leng Qing explained.
Although this sentence is not long, it contains a huge amount of information.
First of all, there is the mention of hatred in this sentence, which includes three battles: the Battle of Tuen Mun, the Battle of Luzon and the Battle of Tai Wan. However, these three battles were all initiated unilaterally by Qiongzhou, and they also dealt ruthless and sharp blows. Thinking about it, they really pissed them off.
In fact, in addition to the military aspect, Qi Dalang also carried out extortion twice, which caused Franco to lose his wife and troops, which can be said to be a loss of face.
The red-haired ghost was also quite puzzled by this. Even if Qi Yu likes to pluck wool to make money, you can't just drag one to pluck it hard, right?
King Annan was a sensible person and gave a reasonable explanation: Don't you think soft persimmons are easy to pinch?
I bother!
Who is the soft persimmon?
After such stimulation, the French people decided to carry out military retaliation in the middle of next year.
Judging from the time they arranged, it is quite logical. Today's sea voyages all rely on wind power to move forward, and any military action takes more than half a year.
Don’t forget, preparation for war is included!
So, here comes the problem.
If the enemy really comes to attack, how can you resist it?
Let's put it this way, if it's an encounter like a chance encounter, there's nothing to be afraid of. At worst, you can roll up your sleeves and go for a fight. If you meet on a narrow road, the brave will win. However, the other party is prepared, so we must take it extremely seriously, and it is essential to prepare for a rainy day.
Thinking of this, Qi Yu's eyes flashed suddenly, and he began to make calculations in his mind.
