Hong Tao pondered for a while and gradually recovered.
It has already happened, and it is useless to dwell on it. In this case, it is better to think about how to remedy it!
Master Qi, doesn’t he have a bad impression of himself?
That's right!
I took practical actions to reverse his view.
Only when facts are presented can they speak louder than words.
Thinking of this, he cheered up again and said sonorously: "Your Majesty, the general has a soft spot for Miss Qi, and the world can learn from this! I only hope that you will be able to resist the temptation and find a way to reject your majesty's proposed marriage.
, in order to fulfill true lovers. For this reason, I am willing to attack Sumatra and try my best to guard the Strait of Malacca. To show my determination, I am also willing to issue a military order. If there is any mistake in this place, I am willing to raise my head to see you!"
Um??
Qi Yu couldn't help but be stunned when he saw that he got out of his emotional tangle so quickly.
This guy's psychological quality is stronger than expected. If it were anyone else, he would probably be disheartened.
Just because of your persistence, I will express my attitude seriously!
"You are Qi Jing's adopted son. In terms of seniority, you can also be regarded as my nephew. Since you are not an outsider and you ask openly, I will give you a clear explanation. Otherwise, Brother Qi will
To say that I am disrespectful to the elders and bully the younger ones is to say that I am an elder."
"Great, sir, please speak!"
Qi Yu said 'hmm' and said: "What you just said is actually two things. In order to make the levels clearer, I will separate them now and discuss them one by one."
After a pause, he continued: "You don't have to worry about the marriage. Even without you, I will try my best to refuse it. My daughter's lifelong happiness will never be allowed to be interfered with by outsiders, nor will it be allowed.
Become a political victim. I can personally guarantee this."
These words were spoken with righteousness and forcefulness.
It's not hard to hear that he really spoke from the bottom of his heart.
After hearing this, Hong Tao suddenly felt relieved, and the big stone hanging in his heart finally fell to the ground.
After expressing his position, Qi Yu continued: "I can agree with your intention to guard the Strait of Malacca, but you may miss my daughter because of this."
Missed?
this……
Hong Tao's hair suddenly stood up when he heard this, and he said nervously: "Master Qi, please make your words more clear. Why do you say that I missed the opportunity to guard the Malacca Strait..."
Qi Yu calmly took a sip of wine and said: "The Kingdom of Sumatra has been taken over by me... oh no, it was taken by Duan Zicheng. You took over and garrisoned it in the past, which is just the icing on the cake, and does not have much military merit.
However, if you want to marry my daughter, you must make great achievements. Only such a hero can be worthy of being my son-in-law! And you are far from enough at the moment."
To a general like Hong Tao, these words were absolutely convincing.
If you think about it from another person's perspective, if you have a daughter who is the best among you, you will definitely think the same way.
Hong Tao nodded in approval and asked for advice: "Sir, in your opinion, how should the general achieve his feats?"
Qi Yu's face straightened and he said solemnly: "As the saying goes, every man is responsible for the rise and fall of a country! As a man, you must not only put righteousness first, but also dare to be the first for the world! Brother Qi is currently fighting hard in Mobei, if you
If you can go and help him, wouldn't it be a meritorious service? In addition, this move not only represents great justice, but also demonstrates filial piety. It can be said to kill two birds with one stone."
Hong Tao's eyes flashed, showing a determined expression.
Seeing this, Qi Yu said in an encouraging tone: "If you have really made a famous and unparalleled military exploit, you can take this as a gift and ask Brother Qi to send someone to come and propose a matchmaker. At that time, I will
All accepted!"
Taking merit as a gift?
good!
But why should the adoptive father send someone to arrange a match?
Hong Tao smacked his lips, seemingly troubled.
Qi Yu explained: "You have to know that the Qi and Qi families belong to the same family, and their friendship is quite irresistible. In this case, how can the children's marriages be decided privately without the elders? In that case, wouldn't they be
The world laughs at you?"
That's true!
Hong Tao said with a learned look on his face: "The words of the adults are like enlightenment, and you will finally understand."
Qi Yu nodded and said: "Don't worry, Brother Qi, although he is a little henpecked, is by no means an unreasonable person. If he agrees to this matter, he will definitely try his best to make it happen."
"That's what my lord said."
"..."
With a goal, he has motivation, and Hong Tao can't help but become itchy.
It seems that I can't wait to rush to Mobei.
However, Qi Yu pressed his hand and comforted him: "Don't worry, I still have some important things to tell you."
Hong Tao hurriedly said respectfully: "My lord, just tell me!"
"Brother Qi and I have a close friendship. How can I not support him when he is fighting bloody battles there? Now go to Mobei, and I will give you three thousand elite musketeers and three thousand military bicycles.
In addition, there are 20 light artillery pieces, 5,000 sets of new pulley crossbows, 50,000 shi of food and grass baggage, and 100,000 cold-warming robes..."
ah!!
This is a very big gift!
A friend in need is a friend indeed!
Hong Tao was in awe, feeling the true meaning of friendship for the first time, and his admiration for his father-in-law turned into a torrential river.
After calming down, he hurriedly thanked his father: "On behalf of my adoptive father, I would like to thank Mr. Qi for his righteous deeds. I promise that I will live up to your trust and repay your expectations with great military achievements."
"Yes!" Qi Yu nodded happily, and then asked: "Brother Qi's command is the imperial army of the Ministry of War, and the ones you brought here are our local government troops. If there is a war, don't be
You’ve been left behind! If you disgrace me, Qiongzhou, let’s see how I deal with you!”
Hong Tao patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, Sir, the final general will definitely make a name for himself and show his momentum."
"good!"
After praising him, Qi Yu sighed again, seemingly to himself: "The surrender of Sumatra marks the unification of the entire Nanyang. If there is no invasion by foreign enemies, it will basically become stable. However, the unification of Nanyang means that the whole of Nanyang will be unified."
The situation in the north is undecided, and this situation really makes me uneasy! That’s why I thought of asking you to lend a helping hand to Brother Qi to stabilize China’s fundamentals!”
Hong Tao replied solemnly: "The great righteousness lies in it, and it is our duty to do so!"
So, the matter was settled.
Before leaving the banquet, Hong Tao did not forget to remind him: "The general has gone to Mobei, so who will guard Malajia? A chokepoint of that level must not be ignored."
Qi Yu sighed: "I have no choice but to make Duan Zicheng work harder."
Regardless of the age factor, Lao Duan is indeed the best candidate.
For now, many young generals in Qiongzhou are still growing up, and it will take some time before they can become independent.
This can't be rushed.
However, Qi Yu firmly believes that Qiongzhou in the future will truly have many soldiers, generals and talents.
