Three days later, Qi Yu completed his reorganization and marched northward with high spirits.
In this line, there are only four frigates equipped with artillery and some fishing boats carrying musketeers. Together, there are only 100 people.
The vanguard?
Yes!
According to Qi Yu's idea, this group of people first rushed to the Tuen Mun area to create a sense of presence, and then made the next plan. In layman's terms, it was to fire a cannon to show their strength, so as not to show any signs.
What the hell? Does this work?
It should be feasible, let’s see:
The first is about psychological shock. This will make King Yong more or less afraid. Also, by the way, he can give the defeated government troops a dozen chicken blood to prove that they are not fighting alone.
This is just the beginning. After all the subsequent large forces have arrived, we will then find a way to do something real.
This is a preliminary plan and is not finalized.
As for how to rescue Yin Tao, Qi Yu hasn't come up with a very reliable method yet, so he can only take it one step at a time.
After rescuing her, Qi wanted to ask her face to face why she didn't stay in Yongchuan Mansion and had to come to Qiongzhou?
Also, why didn't Yin Jun know anything about this? There wasn't even a letter. If he had known about it, he would have rushed here long ago.
We can only ask these questions later when conditions permit.
As for Yin Tao's current situation, Qi Yu is not too worried. Let's put it this way, even if she is caught, her life will not be in danger.
The mediocre king is not stupid, so how could he attack the relatives of the courtiers for no reason? Doing so will only increase hatred, but it will be of no benefit to himself. All wise people will avoid it.
To put it bluntly, even if she is kept as a bargaining chip, there is still one more card.
If this assumption is true, then there is a high probability that he will eventually ask for someone from King Yong.
If you want someone, you have to have a good talk.
Negotiations have always been unequal. Only if you convince your opponent can you be qualified to negotiate good terms. Qi Yu still understands this superficial truth.
The south wind turned north, the weather became cooler, and the fleet continued northward.
When meeting the military, everyone looked solemn, except Qi Xiaotong who was very excited.
Didn't you expect that?
After she got tired of pestering her father, she finally got her wish and boarded the ship heading north. She only has one wish now, that is, she can't wait to see her father's true ability and see how he can completely annihilate the enemy.
bandit!
Look, there is no trace of reserve in this image...
Qi Yu finally realized that his daughter couldn't sit in a boudoir, but was interested in military affairs. In this case, he might as well take her out to see more and learn more.
"Dad, when did you learn to march and fight?" the little girl couldn't help but asked with curiosity.
Yes, my father was originally a civil servant from the imperial examination, but now he has embarked on the road of military service. When did this kind of thinking change?
Qi Yu thought for a while and replied: "Well, it was probably when I was working as a censor..." He paused briefly and then changed his words: "To be precise, it should be when your second uncle and grandpa passed away. At that time
, because of my anger, I made up my mind to overthrow my enemy on the spot. Unexpectedly, this thinking changed my career."
Uncle Zhou has passed away many years ago, and now the sudden mention of old events makes Xiaotong immersed in memories.
However, one could tell that his father had completely changed himself due to hatred, and even said that he had changed the trajectory of his life.
It’s all over, let’s look at the present.
Yes, people can't live in memories.
Qi Yu finally pulled back his thoughts and suddenly asked his daughter: "Daughter, you just talked about martial arts. Then, I also want to ask you, what is the purpose of your martial arts training?"
This was a problem that had troubled him for a long time. Girls from other families all loved needlework, but his own little cotton-padded jacket liked to dance with guns and sticks. It was really different.
She fell in love with martial arts, which was a good thing for physical training, and there was nothing wrong with it. However, after she went deep into Dawan, rescued Meng Lanshan, and seized the treasure ship, Qi Yu's feelings changed.
He suddenly realized that his daughter's martial arts skills had seriously exceeded the scope of physical fitness. Maybe she had even killed someone.
What to do, how to educate?
It is impossible to go back, and now we can only lead her to the right path in a step-by-step manner.
This is the responsibility that a father should fulfill.
Xia Tong was also startled by this question.
However, she thought for a while and said: "At first, I just wanted to practice my kung fu to be handsome and not be bullied. I even said that I could bully others." However, her tone suddenly changed and she added:
"Master Ke Luo once taught me that martial arts can be used for good or for evil. Only when you use them properly can you live up to your knowledge. If you go astray, not only will you not be able to cultivate your own merits, but you will also harm the world.
"
oh?
Makes sense...
It is not difficult to tell from these words that Mr. Luo Jijiu taught well and guided him properly, and he was worthy of being a great Confucian of the time.
And my luck is not very good. I actually found him to be my daughter's master. Looking at it now, how lucky I am!
Feeling pleased, Qi Yu touched his daughter's head and said with a smile: "Mr. Luo is right. Human force is like the cannon on this ship. In the hands of a righteous person, it can serve as a deterrent."
A small thing has a good effect, but if it gets into the hands of thieves, it will turn into a bad thing. People who hold force are most afraid of not being able to control their own expansion, and this kind of self-restraint is the so-called martial virtue.
.”
"Oh..." Xiaotong thought thoughtfully and nodded slightly.
Seeing that she had understood, Qi Yu asked further: "Girl, do you know that when it comes to force, there are big and small differences?"
"Big or small? What do you mean?"
"Haha, please listen carefully. Those with low martial arts only use swords and halberds to injure the enemy, and their killing power can only kill a dozen people, and the most can only kill hundreds of people. However, those with great martial arts are different. He controls a heavy armored master.
, one battle can wipe out more than ten thousand enemies, and destroy a small country, it is just a matter of talking and laughing." Qi Yu explained.
"Well, my daughter seems to understand..."
"No! You don't really understand that the kind of force I'm talking about is the comprehensive power of science and technology, not the power of fists and feet, nor pure courage..."
"Technology? What is this?"
"Haha, come on, sit down first, daddy will tell you slowly and in detail..."
"Um……"
In the next few days, Qi Yu poured all the knowledge he knew into his daughter's mind. Unfortunately, the little girl couldn't accept too much at the same time, and she was quite overwhelmed.
Even so, she broadened her horizons, especially in terms of worldview.
Qi Yu believes that his daughter is now at the peak of her thirst for knowledge, and it is time to provide her with some unique 'higher education'. He hopes that her back wave can be higher than his front wave.
I hope my son will become a dragon, I hope my daughter will become a phoenix, pity the hearts of parents all over the world.
…
On this day, Fu Xian reported that our fleet had approached Tuen Mun, less than twenty miles away by sea.
arrive?
Well, hold on steady first!
Qi Yu immediately ordered that everyone should stop advancing and stand by in place. In addition, he immediately sent people to explore King Yong's true and false situation, and asked Gao Zhongde, the garrison of the government army, to come over and explain.
Yes, you must not proceed rashly without fully understanding the other party's reality.
An hour later.
After hearing the news, Gao Zhongde came to see him by boat, and Qi Yu went out to greet him.
After the greetings, the former came to the ship on which the latter was riding to discuss matters out of courtesy.
"There are rumors that Mr. Qi once went deep into the tiger's den and successfully stole the firearms privately made by King Yong. I never thought that this rumor was actually true." Gao Zhongde took a look at the dark cannon with a strong sour taste.
asked.
In fact, this is a serious Qiongzhou casting. As for the two gates of Yong Wang's family, they are currently being used for the defense of Tianzi Pier.
However, in Gao Shouwei's eyes, these iron lumps all look the same, so how can he tell their origin?
Qi Yu neither nodded nor denied this, but just brushed it off vaguely.
Then, he asked about the military deployment in Tuen Mun.
