Under Qi Yu's strong advocacy, the meeting was unanimously approved and the military strategy of attacking Dawan first was decided.
At the same time, related preparations are also underway.
In fact, there are two reasons for not attacking Annan, and Qi Yu just mentioned one of them.
As for the so-called second one, he deliberately hid it and did not tell the public because it was related to his job in Beijing, so it was better to keep it a little secret.
In fact, there is nothing special to say.
He felt that it was best to maintain a tense atmosphere with Annan, but he could not really start a life-and-death contest with him. Only this confrontation-like situation could make His Majesty feel that the situation was special and inappropriate.
The intuition of changing generals at the last moment will be beneficial to the subsequent re-election work.
If Annan is really defeated at all costs, it will directly become peace after victory, which is extremely unfavorable to me. Therefore, I really have no choice, I must attack Dawan first.
However, before hitting Dawan, there is still an urgent problem that needs to be solved.
What is it?
Let's put it this way, if you just want to take revenge, then just go to war directly, but if you want to take back its sovereignty, there are many things involved.
Let’s listen to the explanation:
Judging from the current modern history, Dawan has always been under the jurisdiction of Fujian Province. So the question arises, if Qiongzhou Xingbing takes it back, who will have the subsequent jurisdiction?
Qiongzhou? Fujian? Or the provincial capital of Guangdong?
Don't end up doing a great job by yourself, but end up making a wedding dress for someone else. That would be a big loss.
Therefore, the attack on Dawan requires a long-term plan. At the very least, the jurisdiction must be clarified first.
It seems that it is time to pay a visit to Governor Lu.
Well, let’s just settle it like this for now.
Just as he was about to announce the dissolution of the meeting, he suddenly heard Wei Qingyang, the official in charge of the office, ask: "Sir Qi, what are your thoughts on the appointment of officials in Luzon, Xindi?"
Regarding this matter, Qi Yu deliberately kept it a secret and replied to him mysteriously: "This matter is not urgent. Let me think about it carefully. I will reply with the results in a few days."
"Uh...yes!"
…
Qi Yu held off the meeting at the government office for the time being, and only said that Liu Quan was at home planning what to have for lunch.
In the morning, the whole family ate the big pot of crab roe noodle soup that was twice as delicious. How about trying a different recipe at noon?
Well, let’s try the steamed crab, they say that’s the authentic taste.
Just do it!
The cold light of the sword suddenly flashed, and Liu Quan began to kill crabs and cleanse them.
I was busy working nervously when I suddenly saw my sister-in-law Huang walking in the door carrying an empty vegetable basket.
"Sister, I heard that the Hai family sent you a basket of crabs. I guess you won't be able to finish them all. Why don't you give me some to try?" As soon as they met, Huang put on a smiling face.
Said. But her eyes were looking around the whole yard, as if looking for the crab.
Liu Quan pointed generously and said: "Where are the crabs? You can get them yourself."
"Very good!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Mrs. Huang trotted over and filled the vegetable basket to the top in a matter of seconds. At the end, she didn't forget to make a big pile.
Liu Quan frowned slightly when he saw this, but didn't say anything.
Mrs. Huang did not leave directly after pretending to be a sea crab, but spoke in a sinister tone: "Sister, I heard that before coming to Qiongzhou, Old Master Peng was just a poor gentleman earning tuition fees.
Don’t you know if this is true or not?”
Liu Quan replied truthfully: "This is indeed true. I remember that Xiaotong received his careful teachings when he was in his hometown in Yongchuan. These all happened many years ago."
"Oh...that's right." Mrs. Huang nodded seemingly suddenly, and then asked: "I also heard that the salesman Sun...oh no, it's the eldest brother of the Sun family. He used to be just a farmer selling preserved fruits.
He only became prosperous after arriving in Qiongzhou, I wonder if this is the case?"
"It's true, my brother-in-law doesn't know much about literacy and can't do writing work, so he has to be a small businessman." At this point, Liu Quan suddenly came to his senses and asked her: "I said, you can ask around.
Yes, what do you want to express?"
Huang's expression changed slightly, and she put on a look of loss and complained: "Look, these people who came to join my brother-in-law all have a decent life. Some of them are officials, some of them are getting rich, and they are everywhere.
He is envied and respected by others. If you look at my family's situation, until now, he has not found a good future. Alas, it is really 'chilling'!"
Chilling?
Why does this sound so disgusting?
Liu Quan coughed dryly, put down the crab in his hand, wiped his hands and asked, "Let me ask, did my brother teach you what you just said?"
Seeing that she was found out, Mrs. Huang seemed a little embarrassed, but she still tried her best to stay calm and said: "Actually, I think so too. My sister must have heard about it. My husband-in-law obeys my advice."
Hmm? The yin is rising and the yang is declining?
My younger brother is really disappointing.
After Liu Quan secretly spat a few times, he said seriously: "Sister-in-law, if you want to say anything, just say it directly. We are all a family, there is no need to be so secretive."
"Well, today I will open the skylight and speak frankly!" Huang puffed out her chest and said with a slightly resentful tone: "If my brother-in-law is not able to accommodate us, then we might as well return to Yongchuan Mansion to avoid unnecessary trouble.
Here you will be looked down upon and gossiped about everywhere.”
presumptuous!
How dare you say that my husband is incompetent!
Hearing this, Liu Quan's face suddenly tightened, and he said coldly: "Where the Liu family will go in the future, it's not your turn as a woman to make irresponsible remarks. Whether or not to return to my hometown of Yongchuan is entirely up to my brother. What's the point?"
Can you decide? Also, is your brother-in-law capable? This is also something you can evaluate? From now on, please pay more attention to what you say!"
However, Mrs. Huang snorted coldly and said, "My brother-in-law is unfair, so I can't give my opinion anymore?"
"Oh! You've learned how to be stubborn!"
Liu Quan couldn't bear it any longer. She glared and said angrily: "Today I'm giving you a formal warning. If you talk nonsense again, I'll slap you to death!"
After saying that, she inserted the crab peeling knife into the sticky board. Unexpectedly, due to excessive force, a large gap was inserted directly.
Drink! This momentum is really scary.
Over the years, Liu Quan, who was in charge of housework, had always lived a pampered life. On weekdays, he almost never had verbal disputes with others. Unexpectedly, today, the stubborn temper that had been buried for a long time burst out again.
Mrs. Huang originally thought that her sister was a good talker, but she never thought that she had a hotter temper than herself.
I really made a mistake!
Under Liu Quan's sharp gaze, Huang felt a chill in his heart, and a chill filled with fear came out of his back. His straight waist suddenly bent down.
"Hmph! Go back and tell Jincheng that we are all one family and don't do anything to scheming! If he dares to do this again, I won't spare him!"
"Yes...yes...sister!"
"Let's go!"
"yes!"
It was a coincidence that just as Mr. Huang was leaving in despair, he happened to pass by Qi Dalang who was returning from the lower office.
Unexpectedly, the woman ran away in a panic without even saying hello.
Huh? What's going on?
Under Qi Yu's questioning, Liu Quan, who was still angry, recounted what just happened without taking a breath, just like pouring beans.
Finally, she emphasized that her stupid brother's thinking might have been blown away by this woman's pillow wind.
"Mr. Wenzhu often said: When righteousness exists, evil cannot be done! This also shows that Jincheng's mentality is not righteous at all." Qi Yu commented impartially and pertinently.
Liu Quan also shook his head helplessly and sighed: "Tell me, what should I do?"
Easy to handle!
Qi Yu chuckled and said: "As the saying goes, the edge of a sword comes from sharpening, and the fragrance of plum blossoms comes from the bitter cold. How can one grow step by step without experiencing life's experiences? Haha, I have a way to make him correct his evil ways!"
