Qi Yu looked back on the past and began to talk about it.
"Objectively speaking, Emperor Jianwu was a wise and wise emperor. During his reign, he built water conservancy projects, reduced taxes, promoted imperial examinations, severely punished corrupt officials, so that the people could rest and recuperate, and the economy also recovered and developed. Since then,
From one aspect, he can be called a good and accomplished emperor."
Sighing, he added: "However, his defeat was that he was too hasty in cutting down the vassals, which directly angered Emperor Taizong, who was the king of Yan at the time, so that he was pushed out of the political arena by the allied forces. Otherwise, his actions would still be the same.
Bigger.”
Although Gao Zhongde was not very proficient in history, he still had some understanding of contemporary political affairs. Therefore, after Qi Yu's analysis and reminder, he suddenly felt it was clear.
He nodded and commented: "From this point of view, Emperor Jianwu is indeed a wise and wise king."
"Yes!" Qi Yu sighed quietly, and then said: "For a person like him who has made great contributions to the country, how can I bear to see him die violently? Saving his life means letting him have a good death."
Gao Zhongde heard the words and praised sincerely: "You have a clear distinction between public and private affairs, suppress evil and promote good, which is very admirable."
Qi Yu smiled faintly and said, "I'm not as great as you said, I just care about morality a little bit."
Morality?
It seems to be true!
In fact, the morality that Qi Yu spoke of was far greater than Gao Zhongde's understanding.
His allegiance is to the entire Chinese nation, not to the emperor.
This is where the greatest morality lies.
Back to business.
After Qi Yu and his entourage said goodbye to Emperor Jianwu, they rushed towards the place where Duan Zicheng's army was located.
On the way, he also inspected the local humanities and the distribution of mineral resources.
Specifically one by one.
The humanities aspect is basically in line with expectations.
This place is indeed a barbarian land with incomplete education. In terms of its level of civilization, it is roughly similar to Luzon before it was attached.
However, this will definitely improve after assimilation education is carried out in the future.
As for resources, they are worth mentioning.
Compared with the useless ones in Sarawak, the mineral deposits in Java appear to be more practical.
The first is the coal mine. Basically, the more the merrier, it is plug-and-play, and the benefits are basically immediate.
If you accept it, there will be practical benefits.
Secondly, there is oil.
Although this precious gadget cannot yet be put into practical use, it can still be used as a legacy wealth for future generations.
In addition to its mineral resources, Java is also very suitable for agricultural production, so it can be regarded as a backup Nanyang granary.
Based on the above comprehensive situation, this place is pretty good.
After the inspection was completed, Qi Yu went straight to Duan Zicheng's place.
What?
Mr. Qi is here in person?
When Lao Duan heard the news, he was shocked at first, and then hurriedly came out of the tent to greet him.
The two of them, who had been separated for a long time, first exchanged greetings, and after completing the etiquette, they could watch tea and reminisce in the Chinese military tent.
"Master Qi, you have come here after a long journey. Could it be that you are worried that I, old Duan, will not be able to take Java, so you came to supervise the army in person?"
"Master Duan, where are you talking? With a high-ranking official like you taking action, why should I be worried? If you can't take this place, others won't have to worry about it."
Although it is a joke.
But, it is full of trust.
Duan Zicheng first bowed his hand, and then said: "Then... why did you come here? What is your purpose?"
Qi Yu smiled and said, "Don't worry, everything will become clear after we have a private talk."
Upon hearing that it was a secret conversation, everyone in the tent immediately left.
In the blink of an eye, only the two of them were left.
Qi Yu didn't bother to hide it, and directly revealed his plan for the 'retreat'.
After hearing this, Duan Zicheng sighed and said, "My lord, you are prepared for a rainy day and use retreat to advance. This skill is very admirable."
Qi Yu smiled bitterly and said, "This move is a last resort, so what's there to admire?"
Well……
That's true!
The two laughed at themselves for a while and continued talking.
"Master Qi, you said that the continent southeast of Java is the legendary Australia?"
"Yes! That's exactly the place!"
Duan Zicheng thought for a while, then suddenly laughed and said: "I once heard from the eldest lady that the Westerner named Harry just escaped there. I don't know if this is really the case."
Qi Yu stroked his beard and said, "Nine times out of ten, it should be. In this sea area, apart from this continent, there is basically no second better place to go. In other words, Australia is his
The only sensible choice.”
"That's it..."
"Um!"
Qi Yu firmly believed that with Harry's brain, he would never do anything stupid like giving up his beauty for a stone, let alone stage a desert island survival in reality.
Unless, his brain was kicked out by the production team's donkey.
Basically, it can be concluded that Harry is currently in Australia. If he goes on this trip, there is a high probability that he will meet him.
At this moment, I heard an urgent call from a scout outside the tent.
He said that he had unknown military motives.
Unknown military situation?
What's the meaning?
After hearing this, Duan Zicheng immediately summoned the visitor almost without thinking.
During this period, Qi Yu deliberately sat in the lower position so as not to affect Duan Zicheng's military prestige.
Let’s talk about the military situation first.
Report: A group of unidentified warships, after bypassing the Strait of Malaca, passed directly from west to east against the southern waters of Java. Currently, they are sailing towards the southeast.
.
What?
An unknown fleet that bypassed the Strait of Malaca?
Who could that be?
Moreover, they also headed to the southeast...
What is its motivation?
Ah! It’s broken!
Could this be the rhythm of advancing towards Australia?
Most likely!
Originally, Qi Yu thought of summoning the King of Java and appeasing the people in the country. Now it seems that these original plans have changed.
If the land of Australia suddenly changes, then will all my plans be wasted like fetching water from a bamboo basket?
After weighing the situation, Qi Yu made a decisive decision and must set off immediately to advance towards Australia.
As for the aftermath in Java, Duan Zicheng will take care of it, so don't worry too much.
He was once the second assistant of the country, and things like stabilizing a small country were certainly not a problem and would not be a problem for him.
"Master Qi, do you really have to leave in such a hurry?"
"The military situation is so great that we really dare not delay it."
"In this case, I will not retain you."
"Well, take care!"
With the sound of the attack horn, Qi Yu's fleet set off again, advancing at full speed toward the southeast.
