This little incident about Emperor Jianwu was just a small ripple like a microwave, and it did not cause a big ripple in Qi Yu's heart.
Just like gossip news that is laughed off.
With the war now imminent, how can I have time to think about that?
The current priorities are all focused on the military level. In addition to daily drills and training, we must also take into account the defense of fortifications. Only by doing everything properly can we truly strategize.
After constant observation during this period, Qi Yu felt more and more that the young man named Haitao was a very good soldier and seemed to be a promising talent.
However, whether he has real abilities still needs to be tested in actual combat.
Opportunity is coming!
Mr. Qi, who was assessing the situation, had already keenly smelled the smell of beacon smoke filling the building like a storm was about to come. He believes that it will not be long before the war in the South China Sea will begin.
Without further ado, let’s look at the current situation first.
Annan finally took action. On the third day after the Qiongzhou reinforcements left Hong Kong, they immediately took action.
The reaction speed is so fast. Could it be that he has learned the Chinese method of "flying birds to pass messages"?
possible!
In any case, Annan successfully got into the trap this time and jumped into the dug hole step by step.
Just as Qi Yu said with a smile, first I invite you to enter the urn, and then you have to catch the turtle in the urn.
In the view of several well-informed senior people, this battle has lost its suspense, and it is only a matter of time before Qiongzhou reaps the fruits of victory.
This is what Yu Hai thought. He said: "Unless the Annan army can give birth to Kunpeng's wings, it will never be able to escape such an siege."
Peng Wenchang also expressed his own opinion: "Avoid its sharp edge, take it by surprise, and take its retreat. Our Qiong army possesses these three elements of military strategy. How can Annan's child escape?"
Although Tan Junyan does not understand military affairs, it does not affect his blind respect for Lord Qi at all: "The people of Annan are originally uncultured barbarians. How can they not be fooled by the wise Lord Qi?"
What are you kidding about?
Monkey?
Although Zhu Si's words imply some flattery, they are not nonsense. Generally speaking, they are basically consistent with reality.
Not only them, Qi Yu also thinks so.
As far as this battle is concerned, not only will our side win, but we will also be able to eat our opponents alive.

However!
The battlefield is changing rapidly, and any sudden incident may affect the entire battle situation. There is no such thing as an absolute.
In fact, that's true.
Qi Dalang made many calculations, but he never expected that in this battle that was about to be triggered, an unexpected Cheng Yaojin would be killed.
But who is it?
You might as well take a guess~~
The situation here in Qiongzhou is roughly the same as usual, so I won’t go into details for now and will just talk about the so-called emergency.
The cause of this incident begins with a decision made by the emperor.
It is said that not long ago, the Holy Emperor sent two urgent oral orders of 800 miles to the provincial government in Fujian.
One of the messages said: The order is that the governor of Fujian, Gao Ming, will come to Beijing immediately. The imperial court has other important appointments, so do not delay, and so on.
The second part of the message: The patrol reported that Mr. Yue Si was currently staying in the Fujian area, and he was ordered to return to Beijing immediately to meet with the Holy Spirit to discuss important family matters, and so on.
The above is the general outline of the matter.
From the emperor's point of view, the reason why he did not pass on the imperial edict but instead used oral instructions was that he did not want to leave so-called evidence, so as not to increase the fetters for the next step of secretly executing the criminals.
Oral transmission is different. Once they die, who will know?
The emperor did not expect that his little cleverness not only failed to fool the two ministers of Fujian, but also exposed his own motives, which was counterproductive.
In other words, on the day he received the oral order, Gao Ming hurriedly found Yue Sixian to discuss it secretly.
The matter was so important, how could he dare to delay it?
When they met, Gao Ming briefly introduced the background of the matter: "According to reports from spies lurking in Qiongzhou, Wei Zengwei's consort unfortunately fell into Qi Yu's trap due to his carelessness. Later, he was sentenced to death. I couldn't bear it any longer, so I tried everything I knew."
The 'known' in this sentence not only includes Fujian's smuggling and raising of armed forces, but also the taboo secrets of the death of the Empress Dowager. Especially the latter matter is definitely one of the emperor's negative scales, which cannot be touched or uncovered.
Otherwise, people will die!
Both of them are veterans who have been immersed in officialdom for many years, so they naturally know the ropes.
After Yue Si analyzed for a moment, he said: "If His Majesty chooses to order you and me to Beijing by issuing an edict, it implies that his attitude is fair.
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
The matter must be settled; and since our case involves the Empress Dowager, it is very likely that the Emperor will choose to downplay the big issue and leave it alone in the end. If this is the case, the two of them still have a chance to survive. "
At this point, he suddenly changed his voice and said: "However, the emperor chose to convey it orally, and there was even a little bit of praise implicit in these words, which is really illogical. Therefore, I I very much suspect that His Majesty’s move is suspected of deception. If so, the prognosis for you and me will be worrying.”
Makes sense!
If he had given a few harsh words of warning, he would have felt more at ease in his heart. However, he avoided the important and neglected the important, and did not mention a word about serious matters. Isn't this a big abnormality?
It can be seen that the emperor's move had bad intentions, and he might even have the intention to kill him.
As the saying goes, if the king wants his subjects to die, the subjects will have to die.
But what if I don’t want to die?
What to do?
It seems that there is only one option for rebellion. Rather than "people are fighting for the sword and I am the flesh of the fish", it is better to give it a try and fight for the possible glimmer of life.
right! Ok, deal!
The next step is to discuss specific plans.
Although Fujian is a good place, we cannot stay here for long. In the long run, we must find another place to live.
Alas, where should we go?
Yue Si thought about it for a while and then suggested: "In Yue's opinion, it is better to pull out all the Fujian troops that are controllable, and then attack Dawan on the other side with all their strength, as a foothold in the future. Qiong Jun The main force is currently fighting a war in the Franco Kingdom and has no time to take care of this place. This opportunity cannot be missed!" After a pause, he added: "According to the news I received before, there are only a few government officials left in Dawan to maintain law and order. There was no naval force stationed to guard it, so we sent our troops to seize it, and it was as easy as taking it from our pockets."
Gao Ming seemed a little worried, and said, "If afterwards, the navy of the imperial court or the army of Qiongzhou raise troops to attack, how can we resist the enemy?"
"You're not afraid of that!" Yue Si first stroked his beard and smiled and said: "The sea routes of Dawan extend in all directions. If you advance, you can attack Fujian and Guangdong to plunder wealth. If you retreat, you can defend the Ryukyu Islands to the east. Since you can advance and retreat, So what’s there to worry about?”
Makes sense!
In this way, the two formulated a preliminary plan to capture Dawan.
According to clever estimates, in about half a month, everything will be ready, and then the clarion call for troops will be sounded.
