In Qi Yu's view, the King of Luzon did not agree to annex his territory to Qiongzhou. This move was completely reasonable and there was nothing surprising.
Why do you say that?
There are two reasons.
First, the communication between the two parties is extensive, and there is no accumulation of trust. Even if they meet, there is a lot of falsehood. How can someone rashly rely on such a perfunctory relationship?
Secondly, Annan wanted to capture Luzon, but it was still in the preparation stage and had not really been realized. Under such circumstances, it was unlikely that the King of Luzon would show a low profile, which also included his policy towards Joan.
This is the current status quo.
It is precisely in view of these two points that Duan Zicheng came up with the "drag" technique to deal with it.
To put it bluntly, he just wanted to wait for the King of Luzon to shed tears without seeing the coffin, and finally be forced to come over to beg for help, and then achieve his own goal.
Procrastination is indeed a feasible method, but Qi Yu doesn't want to waste it like this.
He felt that this matter could not be allowed to develop naturally, and must be intervened manually, otherwise the process would be too slow and uncontrollable. You must know that in half a year, he will be taking a job in Beijing. If by then,
If Annan still didn't start the war, wouldn't he be in the embarrassing position of being far away from the war?
Therefore, it is necessary to create artificial momentum to promote the formation of a confrontation between the two countries. Only in this way can we seize the initiative.
Duan Zicheng saw the decisive look on his face and asked, "Looking at your expression, do you think you have some good ideas?"
Qi Yu didn't hide anything and told him directly: "Actually, I intend to provoke a small local war that is within our control..."
Oh? Do you want to fight?
Duan Zicheng was slightly startled when he heard this. In his impression, Mr. Qi had always been a low-key scholar who had been adhering to the idea of amassing food, building high walls, and slowly becoming king. Why did he suddenly change his attitude today and have the idea of taking the initiative?
?
However, if you think about it carefully, this strategy is very forward-looking and can be regarded as a feasible and good idea. In particular, it will create and intensify conflicts, which will help to make some contributions to Mr. Qi's future retention.
Once the story is written in detail, one can get a glimpse of its meaning.
Continue the analysis on creating conflicts.
From an operational point of view, it is not difficult to achieve this, but the difficulty lies in the word 'controllable'. Let's put it this way, once an impulsive and complex situation occurs, can Qiongzhou be able to deal with it?
Qi Yu thinks: Yes!
So, are you sure?
have!
Because we have the strength!
Didn't we say before that only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you win every battle? Well, let's talk about the true strength of this "enemy" now.
According to reports from the spies who were released, Annan's son did indeed purchase a lot of firearms from the French people, which indeed improved his strength. However, it was still far from reaching the level of Xiongshi.
strength.
Objectively speaking, Annan now is somewhat similar to King Yong in his heyday.
This sounds quite powerful at first sight, but now Qiongzhou is no longer what it used to be, and is basically not afraid of the entire South China Sea. With Annan's current strength, he is still a scum that is rubbed on the ground in front of Qiongzhou.
All in all, in the face of absolute strength, any fancy tricks are just paper tigers that can be defeated instantly, and it will be useless no matter how hard you try.
Well, if you have strength, you are sure. This is logical!
Duan Zicheng nodded when he heard this, then made a murderous gesture and said: "Your Excellency, you want to start a dispute, but I don't know where to start?"
Qi Yu chuckled and said: "There are many ways to provoke disputes, and you don't necessarily have to use force. In my opinion, using the simplest method to accomplish big things is the best strategy." After a pause,
He continued: "I plan to start with the Qiongzhou Xunbao and use the power of this media to get started."
"how do I say this?"
"Listen to me in detail..."
The specific operation is: write and publish a current review in Qi Yu's own name, introducing the experience of the mission to Luzon and the results achieved in an unabashed manner.
The article must clearly state that Qiongzhou's mission to Luzon is only to strengthen and expand economic and trade cooperation, and has no other intentions.
From the surface of the article, this is an ordinary report on current affairs, with nothing special about it. However, from the perspective of a politician, this article implies an external attitude, which is worthy of appreciation and speculation.
In fact, Qi Yu wanted to send two signals to the outside world through this article.
First of all, it is a hint to the Annan side: the purpose of our visit to Luzon is to make more money, and has no other meaning. But please do not think that we have formed an alliance. You should fight and negotiate.
You don’t have to worry about what I, Qiongzhou, think at all. In short, I’m watching and you can do whatever you want.
In the same way, this gesture can be regarded as a tactful warning to Lu Song: Don't think that Qiongzhou will speak for you after accepting your ore. It is not a good thing at all, unless your country can "enlighten".
Take refuge in me, Qiong, otherwise you will never receive any help from me.
Can this, this, this, newspaper be used like this?
Duan Zicheng was so shocked that his mouth opened so much that it could almost fit a big goose egg.
In his understanding, most of the reports in the market were just rumors that only made people laugh, and they could not be put on the stage at all. However, he did not expect that Mr. Qi actually used it in diplomacy.
Although this method costs very little, it can accurately express one's political stance. It can definitely be regarded as a magical move.
Now that Mr. Qi has begun to use his brain, how can he not express his role as his secret advisor?
So, after Duan Zicheng praised it highly, he cupped his hands and admonished him: "Duan has a plan to make things even better. I would like your lord to make your decision."
"Oh? Sir, if you have any clever ideas, tell me quickly!" Qi Yu said, first surprised and then delighted.
"In this way, I want to divide the knights under my command into two waves and carry out their own actions. One wave will return to Luzon and be responsible for protecting the king in secret to prevent him from being brutally killed by others. The other wave will pretend to be Luzon.
The Song assassin pretended to assassinate the king of Annan, and used this to intensify their conflicts and trigger the birth of this war. Once the war breaks out, the King of Luzon will be unable to withstand the pressure and will most likely come to Qiongzhou."
This trick is really good!
Qiongzhou Yifang became both a director and an actor, and in the end he managed to manipulate the two kings. Although the method was a little deceitful, it was very practical.
After Qi Dalang appreciated it, he decided on the spot: Let’s do it!
After chatting for a few more words, the two left Tianzi Pier together and ran home respectively.
The New Year is coming soon, so let’s go home and reunite. Today’s welcoming banquet is not as good as making up for it another day.
become!
…
The next day, New Year's Eve.
After Qi Yu posted the Spring Festival couplets written by himself in the morning sun, he left home mysteriously and strode towards Mahan's private residence.
Is he going to pay homage to his early years?
No, it's just that I have other important things to do.
Is such that.
It is said that the merchants of the Valois Kingdom headed by Lebre, after reselling tiger balm and cheongsam for a period of time, made an extraordinary amount of money. It is said that their rich and wealthy appearance is almost as good as
The salesman's grandson with his nostrils turned upward.
Yes, all these foreigners made a fortune.
To be more precise, I should have made a lot of money with Master Qi's permission and care.
After tasting the benefits, they began to have long-term ideas for managing personal relationships.
It is common knowledge that Chinese people strongly advocate the noble virtue of drinking water and remembering its source. They believe that one must be deeply grateful to those who have helped them, otherwise they will be the so-called snobbery.
After understanding this philosophical Chinese sentence, foreigners immediately decided to show their gratitude and protect their future financial prospects.
So, how should we feel this gratitude?
Of course, it’s done with actual actions. Is it possible that we should just use words to talk about it?
So, they all chose ‘Yours sincerely’ very wisely.
What a teachable kid!
Regarding the filial piety of foreigners, Qi Yu always accepted all comers. After he praised him eloquently, he was suddenly stunned by the special gift.
What's wrong?
Niang Xipi’s, it’s really blinding~~
If you look closely, you will see that the gift box contains two diamonds, one large and one small. The large one is like a quail egg, and the small one is like a peanut. Under visual inspection, both of them are extraordinary.
Accept it!
After accepting it, Qi Yu immediately went to Mahan and asked him to process it overnight to make it into exquisite jewelry. As for the time, it must be completed before the first day of the new year.
Today is New Year's Eve, and it has reached the last day of the appointment.
This festival went well!
Qi Yu got his wish and got two privately customized diamond necklaces.
"Tsk, tsk, it's so beautiful. It goes well with that cheongsam..."
"Will my wife scream with laughter at this New Year's gift?"
Look, in the sunshine, Qi Dalang was murmuring to himself in front of the colorful diamond necklace. He was smiling and intoxicated, not caring at all about the strange looks cast by passers-by.
"I said...what is that in your hand?"
Suddenly, a sweet and melodious voice came, as clear and crisp as an oriole coming out of the valley, and it made people feel soothed all over.
Who is it?
Qi Yu raised his eyes and looked around, only to see Yin Tao looking at her like a little obsessed girl.
