Guan Zhong once said that things should be prioritized, and major and urgent matters should be given priority in everything.
But Qi Yu emphasized that the matter he wanted to talk about was not only important, but also urgent.
Upon hearing this, Haitao immediately sat upright and put on a solemn and serious look.
To his surprise, Mr. Qi did not explain the matter straight to the point. Instead, he took out a pencil tip from his arms and expressed it with pictures and texts.
"Look, this long and narrow territory is Annan where we are now; the big eastern island it surrounds is our base Qiongzhou; further to the northeast is Baodao Bay; further to the southeast is Baodao Bay. It is Luzon, which is connected by islands. These are all the current territories of our Qiongzhou Province."
"Um……"
Haitao nodded, secretly surprised.
I don't usually see Mr. Qi show off his knowledge of geography, so I thought he was not very familiar with it, but I never thought that he already knew it well enough to use it at the stroke of a pen.
This knowledge alone is comparable to famous generals from ancient to modern times.
Qi Yu naturally didn't know what he was thinking. After putting down the pen in his hand, he asked: "Haitao, what do you think is the geographical difference between Annan and the other three places?"
You want me to discuss the geography of the big territory?
I'm not particularly proficient...
Haitao frowned and had no choice but to bite the bullet and reply: "Annan has many plateaus and many jungles. This should be the biggest difference compared to the other three places."
"Any more?"
"It seems like it's gone..."
Qi Yu shook his head and said: "From the current point of view, your vision and layout are still somewhat limited, and you are unable to see the overall situation from a higher perspective. In the future, you must see more and think more. Only in this way can you Gradually open up your own thinking.”
After tactfully denying his point of view, Qi Yu added: "Look at this map. Qiongzhou, Dawan, and Luzon are all islands. They are surrounded by sea. If they want to connect to the outside world, they can only rely on sea transportation."
Haitao nodded and said, "Sir, please continue."
Qi Yu said 'hmm' and picked up the brush again while sketching and said: "In comparison, the geography of Annan is very different. It faces the ocean to the east and the three countries of Laos, Siam and Konbaung to the west. country; to the north are the two provinces of Guangxi and Yunnan that border our country. In other words, this area has sea and land, and is connected to the outside world. "
Hearing this, Haitao suddenly realized: "Oh... I understand. What you mean is, An
The protection of the south is a bit more complicated than the other three places. The east coast area needs navy troops to defend, while the western border requires army troops to handle it. Both the navy and land forces must be in place. Is this what you mean? "
"It's so smart that you can tell with just one click!" Qi Yu smiled approvingly, then pointed at the key points on the map and said: "According to the information I got, the overall strength of the three countries, Laos, Siam, and Gongbang, is stronger than Annan. In other words, we are currently on the weak side. Since we are neighbors with the strong, we must be prepared for danger in times of peace. Don’t be afraid of ten thousand, be afraid of what may happen!”
When Haitao heard this, he quickly said respectfully: "Your Excellency, you are far-sighted and take precautions. It is really admirable!"
This wonderful praise is indeed very suitable for the occasion.
Qi Dalang was elated when he heard this, and said with a smile: "The so-called military deployment is all to nip the trouble in the bud. It is already too late to deploy troops and horses when the enemy suddenly arrives."
Haitao bowed and said: "The general has learned a lesson."
Qi Yu added: "In view of Annan's special geographical environment, I want to arrange a strong general who is proficient in amphibious warfare to guard here to ensure the long-term peace and stability of this place. This is what I call an important matter."
A warrior who is proficient in amphibious warfare?
Isn't that talking about me?
Thinking of this, Haitao quickly took the initiative to ask Ying: "I would like to take up this post, and I hope your permission will be granted!"
Qi Yu laughed loudly when he heard this, and responded: "At present, the position of Annan garrison belongs to you! Well, I hope that you will fulfill your duties here and live up to my trust!"
"I...ok...ok!" Haitao was overjoyed and actually stuttered a little in excitement.
After confirming the appointment, the two sat down and began to drink tea.
And by the way, let’s talk about the mobilization of troops and horses.
In this regard, Qi Yu said: "In the future, I want to transfer Luzon's army to Annan, and at the same time, I will also send the ground troops here to Luzon. This kind of swap will be conducive to local stability."
Haitao was startled at first, but soon understood the intention, and couldn't help but secretly praise: This theory is really high!
What exactly does it mean?
Let's listen to the table.
Annan, like Luzon, belongs to the surrendered foreign countries and is not our traditional territory under the jurisdiction of China.
Although they have now surrendered to our country, there are still a considerable number of noble forces who are unwilling to admit it and do one thing in front of others and another behind the scenes.
What Qi Yu is worried about is that these power groups are not willing to withdraw from the stage of history, and then move to infiltrate the army.
The soldiers stationed there are all local indigenous people, so they are easily bewitched by them and cause trouble.
However, once the army swap is realized, this hidden worry will be solved in one fell swoop.
If the soldiers stationed here are all foreigners, how do you infiltrate the camp?
That’s why I say that this theory is very high.
After finishing the conversation, Haitao asked about Gao Ming and Yue Sixian, who were executed this morning.
He felt that Gao Ming was more brave but less resourceful, and was greedy, so his death was not a pity. However, Yue Sixian is different. He is not only good at various calculations, but also knows some tactics in the art of war. It is a pity that he cannot be used by me.
Qi Yu thought: This person is openly treasonous and has lost the most basic moral heart. People like him would not dare to use him even if he is spared his life!
That's true.
Then he got back to business.
Haitao thought for a while and asked, "Master Qi, what are our plans next?"
Qi Yu replied without thinking: "That's right, you will lead our army to station here to protect Annan. And I will personally lead the navy back to Qiongzhou to make arrangements for the next appointment of officials..."
Unexpectedly, he was suddenly choked when he was halfway out of his words.
What's wrong?
There is a sudden change!
When he raised his eyes, he saw that the originally clear sky was suddenly raging with strong winds, and there was a lot of dust and sand everywhere, making the flags outside the courtyard whistle.
Um?
Upon seeing this, Qi Yu immediately stopped talking, then walked quickly outside the hospital, looking up at the scattered wind and clouds in the sky.
Haitao also came out. After looking at the sky, he said: "It's early autumn now. It's the time when the solar terms are changing. It's reasonable for the weather to change."
"No! Just look at the direction of the wind." Qi Yu muttered, still staring at the sky without blinking.
"Wind direction?" Haitao couldn't help but look at the hunting flag after hearing this, and said in surprise: "Huh? Why is there a sudden northwest wind?"
"This should be a typhoon that is not too violent. This wind direction may last for several days or even ten days."
"Oh..." Haitao was a little confused and didn't understand what he meant at all.
Yes, what day is it not windy?
What's so surprising about this?
At this time, he suddenly heard Qi Yu laughing and saying: "Since we have coincided with the right time, how can we not do something that takes advantage of the situation?" After saying that, he raised his head and said solemnly: "Send my military order quickly, the three armies are in urgent need." gather!"
