After seeing each other for several years, we met again. It was already a different time than before.
The most obvious thing is their respective postures.
Su Liu is no longer arrogant, and Qi Yu is no longer giving in blindly. Coupled with Li Hongyu, the latter has suddenly moved from being passive to taking the initiative now.
The atmosphere is obviously different.
"Empress Dowager, I wonder what you learned from this trip?" Qi Yu poured a glass of wine and asked knowingly.
Su Liu put down his posture and said honestly: "You said in your letter that rescuing my son involved a lot of luck. This sentence made me feel very uneasy. So, I rushed here."
"Well... you should know that what I said is the truth. Saving people is an act of pulling chestnuts out of the fire. There is naturally a chance of success. How can you be sure?" Qi Yu did not exaggerate about this. It is to judge Tao realistically.
Su Liu nodded when he heard this and said, "I just want to know if you have encountered any difficulties. If so, I will definitely try my best to help you so that you can put your worries aside."
"Difficulties? Not really, but there are some worries."
"You mean the Fuso people who took the opportunity to cause trouble?"
So smart, you can guess right right away.
As far as the current facts are concerned, the struggle with the Fuso people is not within his plan, so their arrival has greatly disrupted his plans.
Fortunately, I worked carefully and finally resolved this unexpected risk. Not only that, but they also successfully instigated them to go to war with the Koreans, thereby breaking the latter's sit-down attitude.
However, they are always an uncertain factor, and as long as you don't pay attention, it may disrupt the overall situation.
Then, it affects his rescue plan.
Qi Yu sighed quietly and said in detail: "To tell you the truth, when the Fusang Army had just sent out troops, I had already secretly ordered the Qiongzhou Prefecture Army guarding Dawan to attack the Fusang mainland. The purpose was naturally to encircle Wei and rescue Zhao. This is really surprising.”
Although Su Liu lives deep in the palace, his knowledge is still higher than that of ordinary people. Therefore, after thinking about it for a while, she quickly understood the logic.
Qi Yu should be worried that there are some unseen possible changes hidden here.
Although the accident is unlikely to have a comprehensive impact, it may affect the upcoming rescue plan in Goryeo.
Big or small, I can't tell yet.
Su Liu thought for a while and asked, "Then, what can I do?"
Qi Yu said without hesitation: "If our Dawan Army is accidentally restrained, causing the Fusang Army to gain momentum, then the Da Feng Dynasty will have to dispatch the navy to stabilize the overall situation in the East China Sea with a brazen attitude. Only by maintaining military strength Only by maintaining a balanced situation can I gain room to operate in diplomacy with Goryeo. Otherwise, I will be distracted from making plans, which will drag down the rescue operation. As long as Da Feng sends troops, he can attract the attention of all parties and Adding pressure to their actions.”
"In addition, you must believe me unconditionally and never stab me in the back. For example, you cannot believe the rumors of alliance that have been circulating not long ago. If even you mislead public opinion, I will definitely fall into Tired of coping.”
This statement is very straightforward.
It's impossible not to understand.
Especially the second paragraph, it’s all about opening up the skylight and speaking frankly.
Su Liu hesitated for a while, finally nodded, and then said: "Why don't you call the Qiongzhou government army, or join hands with Qi Jing from Mobei to fight against the Japanese? Instead, call my imperial army?"
Given the opportunity to weaken the forces between the north and the south, she would naturally not choose to give up.
Therefore, she put forward the above point of view.
Qi Yu just thought about it briefly and guessed her intention, and said: "According to the latest intelligence, the Donglu forces have left Goryeo and returned to the outside world. In such a situation, the Qi family army will definitely be prepared to prevent an emergency. In this situation, Under such circumstances, how could he spare his time to deal with Fusang? Moreover, the Mobei Army is all composed of land warriors, so it is impossible for him to suddenly go to a naval battle without any preparations?"
"In fact, we can't mobilize much in Qiongzhou. To tell you the truth, the foreigners in Tianzhu have always been eyeing them, and they have great intentions of plundering in the east. As the chief shepherd of Nanyang, how can I not fulfill my responsibility to protect the land? Even if Nanyang We have to wait until this disaster is resolved before deploying troops, which is not possible at the moment."
Qi Yu answered based on the actual situation, which made Su Liu speechless.
As far as the current situation is concerned, Qi Jing's responsibility is to restrain Donglu instead of fighting Fusang. The same goes for Nanyang. If they want to focus their main energy on dealing with Tianzhu, how can they just look forward and ignore the backward?
From this point of view, the imperial army should indeed take responsibility in this situation.
However, Su Liu still didn't agree.
She continued to defend: "Although our industry in Dafeng has made initial expansion, after all, we have lagged too far behind because of hindsight, especially in the military industry. To start a battle with the Fuso Army, we do not have the Qiong Army. That’s a clear advantage.”
Upon hearing this, Qi Yu was immediately happy, "You are not stupid at all. You finally realize the importance of the industrial revolution."
"Of course I know about this. I just didn't want to implement it before. Now, the international situation is changing rapidly. If I don't adapt to the trend, I am afraid that the Great Fengchao will not be able to survive."
"This is indeed true. In the face of the general trend, any obstruction is like a mantis trying to stop the cart. If you stop moving forward, you will only fall behind others; if you act in reverse, it will be even worse. Not only will you not be able to defend your territory and family property, you will also end up with ceded territory, compensation, and Being beaten passively. For example, the Manchus in the previous life, they would..."
Upon hearing the comparison to the Manchu Qing Dynasty, Su Liu's face suddenly turned cold, and he interrupted: "I understand the general principle, there is no need for you to make insinuations. What I want to ask is, besides Mobei and Nanyang, there is another An army can defend the enemy, why don't you recruit it or mobilize it?"
"There's another one? What kind of army?" Qi Yu was stunned when he heard this and asked in confusion.
"Just think about it yourself!"
"What? Let me think about it myself? Humph, you don't want to talk about it!"
"you……"
Feeling frustrated for no reason, Su Liu had to lower his momentum.
She suddenly realized that no matter how hard she suppressed him, the other party only needed to ignore him with one move, and she was helpless.
Alas, does this still look like a monarch and his ministers?
Although she was dissatisfied, she did not dare to show it. If she offended him, who would take her own son?
She can boldly try other things, but she doesn't dare to be careless in this matter.
Can you do it without bowing your head?
