The next battle was much easier than Qi Yu imagined.
It took more than a month to basically complete the great cause of unification.
According to the news from Fu Xian, the reason why it was so smooth was mainly due to two major factors.
First of all, Emperor Meisho surrendered and she publicly persuaded him to surrender. This move made many loyalists give up their original resistance and choose to obey the imperial edict.
This is her unique political role that no one can replace. And Qi Yu happened to use this function to its advantage, so he saved so much trouble.
The second factor is a special indescribable deterrent force.
News of the Tokyo Massacre spread like wildfire, and soon spread to every corner of Fuso Country. Killings of this level can create a high-pressure situation that can make onlookers feel terrified and send chills down their spines.
Fuso's defenders are naturally no exception. They will also subconsciously evaluate whether they have the strength to confront Qiong's army. You know, once the city is destroyed, the tragedy may happen again.
Not to mention myself, not even the whole family could escape the bad luck.
Under such shock, many generals chose to abandon their weapons and surrender in order to avoid possible disaster.
Of course, there are also very few stubborn resisters.
They believe that the current Qiong army is at the end of its war effort, and as long as the Fusang people unite as one, they can form a united resistance force to drive out the enemies.
In order to prove that their views were correct, they also specially printed and distributed some leaflets.
It said that after the Tokyo Massacre, the Qiong Army's ground troops only had a few hundred people left, and they were all exhausted. Even if the departing and returning hot-air balloon troops are included, the total size will not exceed 3,000 people.
With such a small force, how could we not be able to resist?
To put it bluntly, these tens of millions of Fusang people can drown the invaders with their saliva.
However, this view did not form a trend of great influence, because Huang Fei secretly eliminated it as soon as it had the slightest hint of it.
In this way, there will no longer be any discordant dissident voices.
However, in Qi Yu's view, this kind of voice is not very convincing. They want to use a mob to defeat the large number and the small number, which is not as easy as imagined.
It does not mean that if you play at home and have a popular base, you will definitely take advantage of the favorable location and people.
I think back then, Nurhaci only used 20,000 to 30,000 troops to successfully invade the Ming Dynasty. At that time, they were not drowned by the spit of hundreds of millions of Han people. In addition, there are countless examples such as Yuan army's invasion as evidence.
It can be seen that when the war situation is determined, the so-called counterattack only exists at the theoretical level and may not necessarily be established in reality.
Therefore, this matter is basically safe and there is no need to worry too much about it.
Now that the general situation has been decided, it is time to report the comprehensive results to Li Hongyu today.
In order to show a sense of ceremony, Qi Yu also specially set up a celebration banquet where only two people could sit.
"Your Majesty, please!"
"Young Master please come first!"
“Good wine!”
"..."
After three rounds of wine and five delicious dishes, Qi Yu brought up the past again and said: "The Battle of Fuso is completely over, and now it's time to make a summary. I wonder, Your Majesty, you can see what happened."
Li Hongyu said sincerely: "Shaobao has asked me many times about this so-called Taoism. However, because I am young and have little knowledge, I have not been able to figure out the outline for a long time. However, after the Battle of Tokyo, I suddenly became enlightened. , I figured it out in an instant.”
"Your Majesty, have you figured it out?"
"Yeah, I got it!"
"In that case, please give me some advice from your majesty."
It's called teaching, but it's actually a test of knowledge, but it's just expressed more euphemistically.
In this regard, Li Hongyu did not care too much and directly expressed his opinion: "The victory of Fusang was due to the soldiers' fearlessness of life and death, and the reasonable strategic layout. However, The most important thing is to win technologically!”
He said the last sentence very firmly.
It should be genuine recognition.
Qi Yu nodded happily and continued to ask: "Your Majesty, please explain the basis and rationale."
Li Hongyu said: "I won't elaborate on the first two items. The whole incident is clear and straightforward. Anyone can understand it closely. Only the technology aspect deserves to be analyzed and carefully observed."
After a pause, he continued: "Whether it is the advantages displayed by weapons, or the bombardment of hot air balloons to defeat the enemy, or the ability to stand behind them, it is the support of technological power. This factor is the key to determining the final direction of the war. "
Well, I finally see the core of the matter.
Not too stupid!
Qi Yu stroked his beard and said warmly: "Now that Your Majesty has understood the Samadhi, what do you think?"
"Since you are lucky enough to study things and gain knowledge, you must try to apply what you have learned, and those who are good will follow it. After I return to the court, I will vigorously develop science and technology and build our Dafeng Dynasty into a truly strong person like Qiongzhou. .I swear, I will never break my promise!"
"Your Majesty, Holy Might!"
In fact, this so-called Taoism is not complicated, but Qi Yu had deliberately not pointed it out before.
To put it bluntly, he just wants Li Hongyu to observe deeply and think independently. Only by doing this can he understand deeply and fully.
His transformation can influence the future development direction of Dafeng Dynasty. How can we not pay attention to it?
After laughing a few times, Qi Yu returned to his serious tone and said: "Your Majesty, the development of science and technology is inseparable from the cultivation of talents, and the cultivation of talents is inseparable from enlightened policies. Only by eradicating bad policies can you create a culture that cultivates talents." The soil for talents. I have discussed this principle many times before. Your Majesty may wish to recall it."
Li Hongyu said hurriedly: "Shaobao's words are so precious, how can I not remember them in my mind? I have already memorized all your high-level theories on science and technology."
"That's good, that's good! Your Majesty has such an epiphany, which is really a blessing for China. Everyone says that the Supreme Emperor is a rare moral king in history. However, if His Majesty promotes the development of science and technology, he will be able to achieve thorough results in terms of achievements. The earth transcends, I can be absolutely sure of this!"
"Shaobao said, can I... surpass my father?"
"Well, whether you are willing to be the emperor for eternity or not is all at your Majesty's discretion!"
"this……"
As the old saying goes, a soldier who doesn't want to be a general is not a good soldier. In the same way, an emperor who doesn't want to be a wise king is not a good monarch.
Which emperor can refuse the temptation of one emperor through the ages?
