From Zhao Mingyu's tone, it seems that he regards himself as a philanthropist.
In other words, he was planning to make a big statement. If he didn't ask for much, he would never compliment him like this.
So, how should you deal with it?
To help or not to help?
In terms of friendship, the Qi and Qi families are inseparable, almost like Ji You's uncle. Moreover, Qi Jing once saved the lives of his family, which was a great kindness. Now that he was in trouble, how could he stand by and watch?
However, the iron tools used by his three armies and the food for his war horses were all made with great care. Zhenruo Gang was not just perfunctory.
Do the total yourself first.
The iron problem is too big and can be solved by increasing the corresponding manpower and capital investment. However, the feed is a bit difficult. This kind of material is a consumable supply. There is no so-called fixed number, or in other words, no amount is too much. .
Yes, that was rations for eight thousand horses. Where could I find so much?
Suddenly, something suddenly came to mind.
Two days ago, didn't Liu Jincheng write a letter saying that Luzon had a great harvest? In this case, wouldn’t there be abundant crop straw there?
Well, if they are all used as feed, this problem should be solved.
Thinking of this, Qi Yu couldn't help but smile.
Zhao Mingyu silently observed his words from the side, and when he saw that he seemed to be loosened up, he hurriedly complained about the situation. His words were like a piece of sad music that stirred up emotions, making others feel sad and moved.
"Lord Qi, the area beyond the Great Wall is full of desolation. There is drought and little rain all year round. Less than half of the forage we planted survives, and the rest is half dead. To tell you the truth, the war horses in our army are all skin and bones from hunger. . However, General Qi has a kind heart and is determined not to exploit the people around him, so he allowed me to shamelessly come to you to ask for help..."
"Alas, our Mobei Army is just like a concubine of the imperial court. It is basically unattended and unasked for. You also know that the Ministry of War is all focused on the construction of the East China Sea Navy. How can there be any Do you care about us? My lord, if you don't lend a helping hand, our border army will be at its wits end..."
Gee, look at this sentiment, it’s really touching.
Facts have proved that this trick is indeed very effective.
Qi Yu, who was currently talking about Qi Jinghao, couldn't help but feel sad when he heard this. At the same time, a heroic feeling of loyalty arose spontaneously.
"Hmph! With me, Qi Yu, here, how can I let my good brother suffer? Go back and tell him that as long as I am in Nanyang, I will never let Mobei be cut off!"
ah!
It's done!
Zhao Mingyu was overjoyed and hurriedly clasped his fists with the courtesy of a military officer and said: "Master Qi is very righteous and courageous. Even if Guan Yunchang is alive and Zhang Yide comes back to life, he will never be like this! Zhao is here to express his gratitude to General Qi and the soldiers of the three armies! "
"That's right. Mr. Zhao, you don't have to be polite."
"..."
However, once the passion passed, Qi Yu began to come to his senses.
He, Lao Zhao, was using a trick on himself, and he was successfully incited by him.
No, we must not give him such a cheap price.
Qi Yu then flashed his eyes and said with a smile: "Sir Zhao, for such a small matter like asking for help, wouldn't it be enough for Brother Qi to write a letter? Why bother for you to travel far away to come here in person? Even if it is necessary to deliver a letter, you can still send a subordinate to handle it. There is really no need to use the generals under your command."
Zhao Mingyu's eyes flickered and he said vaguely: "Haha, Mr. Zhao has little talent and little knowledge. He is not useful in the army, so he has to do these things of sending letters and rumors..."
Only ghosts believe you!
Qi Yu stroked his beard and asked with a smile: "Mr. Zhao is deliberately hiding the truth. Could it be that he treats someone like Qi as a friend?"
"this……"
Zhao Mingyu was stunned and didn't know how to answer for a moment.
No matter what, now that the matter is done, there is no need to hide it anymore.
Be honest!
So, he put down his guard and said calmly: "To tell you the truth, General Qi sent me here as a result of careful consideration."
Qi Yu answered and asked, "Huh? How do you say this?"
Zhao Mingyu explained: "He said that if someone else came over, you, Mr. Qi, would most likely be perfunctory, but it was different when Zhao came here in person. He expected that you would definitely remember our past friendship." He will be flexible and will never refuse outright. General Qi knows people well and makes good use of them. He is indeed a great person."
Renjie, you big-headed guy, aren't you just playing my favor card?
As soon as he heard this, Qi Yu began to feel sick in his heart, always feeling that he was being shortchanged.
I didn't expect that you, Qi Jing, would also learn to be cunning and plot against me.
No, I have to figure him out, otherwise, I won't be able to sleep at night.
Just do it!
Qi Yu suddenly smiled and said proudly: "What Mr. Zhao just said is a bit wrong. The relationship between me and Qi Jing can be said to be like brothers and sisters, as close as a family. Even if you are not physically present, I will never stand idly by! Do you think this is true?"
Although Zhao Mingyu was thick-skinned, he still felt a little embarrassed when he was ridiculed in person, so he had no choice but to laugh and nod in agreement.
The expected benefits have already been obtained, so what’s the harm in losing a few words?
Unexpectedly, Mr. Qi is a drunkard who doesn't care about drinking. What he said is "he has other good intentions".
Just listen to him say: "Since we are brothers, we should help each other, otherwise, we will be as dishonest as rats. It is a coincidence that Qi has a difficult problem and needs Mobei's help. Here, I would like to ask Mr. Zhao for a promise."
Upon hearing this, Zhao Mingyu's smile immediately cracked.
Is this an indecent act?
Qi Yu ignored his embarrassment and continued to think about himself: "Master Zhao, you know that our current military development in Qiongzhou has encountered an unprecedented imbalance."
This is a bit confusing. What he encountered was not a difficulty, but what was called an imbalance?
What does that mean?
don't know.
There was no other way, so Zhao Mingyu had no choice but to bite the bullet and ask: "Master Qi, what's the explanation for the imbalance in your mouth?"
Qi Yu coughed dryly and said: "As far as the military is concerned, our navy in Qiongzhou has the strongest development, and it is already small in scale. Even if it faces the powerful Franco machine, it is still capable of fighting. The infantry has also made some progress. Although it is not as powerful as your Mobei Army, it is still capable enough to defend this territory."
At this point, he suddenly changed his voice and sighed: "However, as for the construction of cavalry, I, Qiongzhou, have always made no progress. Let alone heavy armored cavalry, I can even pull a small unit on a donkey." It’s really sad to think about not coming out! In the final analysis, it’s still because of the lack of war horses!”
Hear the string song and know the elegant meaning.
As soon as he heard the word war horse, Zhao Mingyu immediately understood the meaning of the words.
He thought for a while and hurriedly persuaded: "Don't be sad, Mr. Qi. Your Nanyang territory has many seas and little land. The right solution is to develop the navy. As for the so-called heavy cavalry, even if it is equipped, it is useless for heroes." !”
Yes, the war horse can't swim in the sea, so why do you want it?
Is it possible that you use it to grind and cultivate the land?
