It must be said that Harry has a very good understanding of Australia.
He made a comprehensive and in-depth analysis from various perspectives such as geographical environment, humanities and customs, power distribution, resource situation, etc.
This information has greatly enriched Qi Yu's understanding of this place.
It can be said to have benefited a lot.
Needless to say, geography and resources are something that Qi Dalang has long been familiar with. Listening to them this time is just a confirmation.
As for humanities and power, this was the first time he heard about it, so he was naturally very attentive.
Let’s explain them one by one.
The degree of civilization here is still quite primitive, and there is basically no representative humanities at all. Although it has broken away from drilling wood to make fire and tying ropes to record events, it still doesn't have many advanced levels.
Of course, primitiveness means ignorance, and ignorance means that subsequent education is easier to carry out.
It's like a clean white paper. Whatever you draw will determine the ideology it presents. This is undoubtedly good news for Harry's missionary work.
Let’s talk about the distribution of power.
Because Australia is so vast, it has naturally given birth to a number of tribes of various sizes. There is no fixed pattern that can be followed between them, drawing each other in and attacking each other.
To describe it in one word, it is chaos!
However, in Qi Yu's view, chaos is more conducive to the subsequent great cause of unification.
If all these tribes unite, then they will be one against many. Although this will not lead to failure, it will definitely cost more effort.
Overall, the current situation is still very favorable to our side.
Since Harry was not good at military affairs, he consciously kept his mouth shut and waited for Mr. Qi to express his opinions on this matter.
"First take this place as the foundation, and then gradually expand to the surrounding areas. We will support the war with war and consolidate supplies. When we find a suitable opportunity, we will attack decisively and complete the great cause of unification with lightning speed."
"Master Qi, your idea... seems a little too cautious, right?"
It is good to proceed step by step, but that will slow down the pace of the entire war.
In other words, although his strategy is sound, it will waste a lot of time.
Qi Yuqingqing
Sighing, he said: "Although we have an absolute advantage in Qiongzhou's combat power, from the current situation, we are outnumbered and the enemy is outnumbered. We must not be too quick when trying to swallow the elephant. Safety is the right solution. In addition, I don’t want to increase the killing in Australia. If there is less bloodshed, there will be less bloodshed. Only in this way can the occurrence of public resentment be reduced.”
Public dissatisfaction? How much is that worth?
Harry rolled his eyes and ignored it.
What he is concerned about is how to achieve greater unification better and faster.
Because, only in that way can his status keep up with the rising tide and sit in that high position.
Harry thought about it for a while and asked: "Master Qi, when you say that we are outnumbered and the enemy is outnumbered, does it mean that our troops are insufficient?"
Cough, spit!
Aren’t you asking knowingly~~
Qi Yu rolled his eyes at him angrily, and then nodded.
Unexpectedly, Harry smiled and said, "Sir, I can help you solve this problem, Mr. Ha!"
"Oh?" Qi Yu was stunned and asked, "I wonder what Brother Ha has to do?"
"To be honest, Mr. Qi, I learned a kind of beast control technique here. You can understand that I have the ability to tame wild beasts for my own use, and then participate in battles to defeat the enemy. As for its attack power, it is no less than the local indigenous people. Elite soldiers. If they help us, our efficiency will definitely increase by three points."
"Beast control?"
After hearing this, Qi Yu suddenly remembered.
Harry's current mount is a fat ostrich, and his guards are several majestic kangaroos.
From this point of view, what he said just now was not just talking out of his mouth.
After clicking his tongue in surprise, Qi Yu smiled and praised: "If we get Brother Ha's help, we will be able to unify them soon!"
"Of course!"
…
The war in Australia is in full swing, and the actions on the tribute list are also unambiguous.
Since the Hong Tao Army received military aid from Qiongzhou, its mobility and combat effectiveness have been greatly improved, almost half a level higher than during the Battle of Siam.
So in the first encounter, he went smoothly.
However, the Gongbang Army was no fool. They quickly adjusted their strategy and stabilized the overall situation.
They took advantage of the favorable terrain and stopped the Qiongzhou Army's advance in time.
For Hong Tao, this is a big deal
Small blow.
However, it was even worse.
A secret message came from Qiongzhou saying that His Majesty the Emperor had given Qi Xiaotong a golden marriage and betrothed her to the son of the family of Liang Yingzhong, the chief minister of the current cabinet.
This news was like a devastating nuclear bomb, instantly destroying Hong Tao's mentality.
Almost reduced to collapse.
Objectively speaking, the two families were well matched, and the marriage was decreed by the emperor, which was beyond anyone's control.
If nothing else happens, this matter is ironclad.
"well……"
"Thinking of the long journey of heaven and earth, I shed tears with sadness..."
Hong Tao recited fragments of poems taught by Peng Wenchang, and drank alone sadly, savoring the bitterness and sadness in the wine.
From time to time, he would close his eyes and meditate, shaking his head and sighing, with a helpless sense of loss all over his face.
What about marching and fighting, what about making achievements, go to hell with all that?
If this matter is messed up, what's the point of my efforts?
Hong Tao really wanted to tell Xiaotong about this, but he was worried that her statement would hurt him even more. He was worried about gains and losses, so he had to think about it by himself.
As for countermeasures, he also figured out a way.
The best way is to go to Qiongzhou in person and beg your future father-in-law, hoping that he will exert all his strength and use extraordinary means to suppress this matter.
Unfortunately, a scout came to report that Mr. Qi is currently on a tour in the south. The date of his return is still unknown.
As a result, he didn't even have anyone to turn to.
I was feeling sad and wet when I suddenly saw Qi Qingyun coming to see me every day.
He was stunned at first when they met, and asked curiously: "As the saying goes, a man never sheds tears easily, so why is the general crying like this?"
Hong Tao smiled bitterly and replied: "A man won't shed tears easily? Haha, that's just before he gets sad!"
Qi Qingyun hurriedly clasped his fists and said: "I don't know what your lord is worried about. You might as well talk to the general. Maybe I can help you a little bit."
"just you?"
Hong Tao was about to refuse, but then he thought: As the old saying goes, three stooges are better than Zhuge Liang. Who knows, he really has something good to offer!
That’s okay!
Today, I am here to talk to you about the last time I was ill and went to the doctor.
