As the saying goes, God's calculations are worse than those of people.
In fact, this is indeed the case.
Qi Yu relied on his hydrological experience in Qiongxilai over the past few years to accurately predict the residence time of this small typhoon.
However, he failed to predict that after this small typhoon, the wind direction actually reversed, from northwest to southeast.
The status of the fleet has naturally changed from the original tailwind to the current headwind.
Sail against the current!
Alas, what a bad luck!
Huang Fei hurriedly consoled him and said: There are unpredictable events in the sky, how can it be predicted by ordinary people? In other words, being able to borrow the right time to travel is already a matter of luck, so how can we be greedy and ask for it too much?
Too!
Then try to be as open-minded as possible.
Qi Yu sighed bitterly for a full hour, and finally had to let go of his entanglements and face it calmly.
Let's see where we have gone first.
As far as the current location is concerned, it is probably halfway between the southeast of Annan and the northwest of Luzon, barely more than halfway on the voyage.
An embarrassing situation!
Qi Yu Weiran sighed and said: "We can't advance because of the current situation, and we can't be reconciled to retreat. It's really a dilemma!"
Huang Fei persuaded again: "Sir, you are too persistent. Coming here to help is an unplanned icing on the cake. Of course it is good if it succeeds, but it doesn't matter if it fails. Why bother so much?"
Not confused?
You said it lightly.
My little cotton-padded jacket is facing off in the Luzon Sea. What if...
Cough, spit!
Crow's mouth~~~
When marching and fighting, be sure not to say unlucky words. If you bite someone's back, you will be in trouble for the rest of your life.
Qi Yu grinded his teeth and reluctantly sat down.
However, his brows were filled with melancholy and he was no longer as calm and calm as before.
Seeing that he was a little depressed, Huang Fei deliberately started a new topic and asked: "Master Qi, what are your views on the future development of Annan in the new jurisdiction?"
Sure enough, Qi Yu was successfully attracted by this in-depth topic and showed a look of admiration.
Compared with the dejection just now, they are completely different.
"You are asking about the future..."
"Yes, Huang is very interested in this."
"In that case, let me talk about it." Qi Yu thought for a while and said in detail: "From an economic perspective, Annan is convenient on both land and water. It can not only develop agriculture and mulberry trees, but also develop maritime trade, especially regarding In terms of agriculture, its potential can be ranked second in Luzon."
Although Huang Fei was a layman, he could still understand such common language, so he kept nodding.
After a pause, Qi Yu continued: "From a military perspective, Annan's location is of great strategic significance and must not be underestimated. Let's put it this way, Qiongzhou's acquisition of this place as the boundary of its jurisdiction will immediately allow subsequent military deployment It becomes much more convenient.”
Regarding military knowledge, Huang Fei was still a layman. He chewed on the words for a while, and then asked in confusion: "Sir Qi, what exactly does the word 'convenience' you say mean? Woolen cloth?"
Qi Yu smiled faintly, then spread out the map and explained in detail: "Brother Huang, look at it, the territory of Annan Mansion is curved and long and narrow, surrounding our Qiongzhou Island. If there is an invasion from foreign enemies, it can form a vertical line. The barrier keeps the enemy out. In this way, the enemy can be prevented from advancing straight in without any obstruction, and then approaching the core hinterland of our provincial capital."
The hinterland mentioned here naturally refers to the base camp Qiongzhou Island.
Huang Fei looked at the map, nodded and said, "Well, it is indeed so."
Qi Yu smiled, pointed at the map and said: "As far as the military deployment is concerned, it is much clearer than before. To put it more specifically, as long as we can guard Dawan, resist Fusang from the north, and defend Luzon , in order to ward off foreign enemies coming from the south, if these two things are done well, the hinterland of Qiongzhou can sit back and relax. However, these two conveniences are all based on Annan as a barrier to the west. Without this place as a basis, How can we get such convenience?"
Huang Fei suddenly became enlightened after hearing this, and said with emotion: "Before, I didn't feel how important Annan was. But today, after listening to Mr. Qi's words, I realized that this place is the external defense wall of Qiongzhou. It is like Although the shell of the old turtle is a little rough, it is absolutely indispensable."
This is the truth.
Because, before this, he did not realize the importance of Annan.
Qi Yu took over the conversation and said solemnly: "Before leaving, I repeatedly told Haitao to do a good job in the defense of Annan. This is indeed what I said from the bottom of my heart. Once Annan is lost, Qiongzhou will lose its peripheral military. The barrier will once again return to its previous passive defense situation.”
Huang Fei heard the words and said sincerely: "Haha, following Mr. Qi, you can learn a lot of knowledge every moment. Even a stupid pig can be enlightened and open up his wisdom."
Stupid pig?
Uh, Second Senior Brother was offended unintentionally~~
However, after Huang Fei's interference, Qi Yu's mood completely calmed down, and he no longer worried about gains and losses as before.
…
The wind blows and the waves rush.
In the midst of the roar, a flood surged.
However, Qi Dalang showed a calm attitude of sitting on the fishing boat regardless of the wind and waves.
Yes.
In order to pass the boring time of drifting, he made the best use of everything to stand on the bow of the boat and 'anchor' to fish in the sea.
He also seemed to be joking about catching a mermaid.
Mermaid?
What is this?
Can it be used to study archery?
Huang Fei's eyes lit up after hearing this, and his mind was filled with colored things.
However, it backfired.
Instead of catching a beautiful mermaid, Qi Dalang hooked up a disgusting black wooden box.
Well, it's really not pleasant to be so dark.
A closer look revealed that the seams of the box had not been corroded by the sea water, so it must have just floated. Otherwise, it would have been knocked apart by the waves long ago.
When I opened it, I saw that it was filled with miscellaneous daily necessities, and they were all made overseas.
Among these things, there is a small book with a cowhide cover that stands out. Looking closely, most of the papers have been soaked and dispersed by sea water, and only a few pages are barely legible.
Qi Yu looked at it with wide eyes and couldn't help but wonder: "Huh? It turns out to be in British language!"
Upon hearing this, Huang Fei came closer and asked, "Master Qi, what is written on it?"
"Don't worry, let me distinguish it carefully."
"oh……"
However, as he watched, Qi Yu's expression turned cold: "Mother Xipi, I really didn't expect that these bastards would dare to do this!"
Huang Fei was a little confused when he heard this: "Master Qi, who are you scolding?"
Qi Yu snorted, threw the book to the ground angrily, and said angrily: "Who else could it be? Of course it's Great Britain and Valois!"
