According to the old almanac, today is an auspicious day and everything is suitable.
Since it is a good day, there must be some happy things.
No, as soon as the morning light hit the ground, Qi Yu just put on his clothes and hurried out.
What is he busy with?
Is such that.
He said that there were two important ceremonies this morning that required him to attend in person.
as follows:
The first thing is about the listing ceremony of the Qiongzhou Prefecture Army. This is a first-class happy event, and there must be no ambiguity.
Well, look!
Amidst the deafening salute, Mr. Qi, who was dressed in military uniform, accompanied by Duan Zicheng, solemnly inspected the elite troops under his command.
In the sun, the dark musket barrel shines brightly; in the team, the brand new uniform with the word "brave" is really eye-catching; looking at it with wide eyes, it gives people a majestic momentum that can swallow mountains and rivers and be like a tiger thousands of miles away.
give a like!
After the review ceremony was over, Duan Zicheng asked several military attache representatives to show Mr. Qi two new weapons independently developed by Qiongzhou.
The first type is called a pulley crossbow.
This crossbow is as sharp as an arrow and can be fired with as much force as a bamboo. It can kill people invisible in the blink of an eye. It has a wide range of uses. It can not only attack the rushing cavalry, but also shoot the formation of infantry. It is very powerful.
According to Duan Zicheng, this weapon is currently mainly equipped with infantry to be used together with muskets.
The second type of weapon is called light artillery.
This cannon is not only small in size, but also equipped with movable wheels, making it very suitable for siege and evacuation of cities on the ground. Although its range is not very far, its flexibility is valuable.
However, this weapon has just been equipped and fielded, and its tactics and application still need to be studied and improved.
From an overall perspective, the development of the military industry is pretty good.
The pace of progress is very solid.
After observing these two new weapons, Qi Yu made an evaluative summary.
To put it simply, he fully affirmed the current development of military industry in Qiongzhou and encouraged its relevant people to make persistent efforts to seek further technological breakthroughs, and so on.
After leaving the military camp of the Fu Army, Qi Yu immediately went to a construction site to participate in the groundbreaking ceremony of the newly selected ‘Confucius Institute’.
Haha, look!
Amidst the crackling of festive firecrackers, Mr. Qi, dressed in the style of the Wei and Jin Dynasties, accompanied by the chief envoy Yu Hai, hoeed the symbolic first shovel of soil.
This move attracted bursts of cheers from the onlookers.
However, in the speech session that followed, Qi Yu gave up the opportunity to show his face to Luo Yuan, who was also here.
In fact, it is a ceremonial speech.
However, Luo Jijiu spoke passionately and explained the matter in formal 46-parallel prose throughout. In the article, he also implicitly expressed his ambition to be a thousand miles away.
What?
Is this old man here to be a professor?
It was only then that everyone finally reacted and quickly gave polite compliments. You know, he is a truly erudite scholar, how can you not compliment him?
Everyone was happy, but Sun Yue Gong felt a little chilled in his heart.
This is why?
Before that, there had been a popular legend in Qiongzhou that the rich were not as rich as the Hai family, and the scholars were not as rich as Sun Bao.
This means that Lao Sun's talents and knowledge have been recognized as being superior to those of other scholars, and he has always been shrouded in a halo of standing out from the crowd. But now, the grand sacrificial wine of the Imperial Academy suddenly came, and his status as a mere tribute,
It seems too "shabby" to bring you.
This situation also corresponds to the old saying often said by ordinary people: comparing people to others will lead to death, and comparing goods to goods will save money.
In other words, there is no harm without comparison.
Seeing Sun Bao's defeat, Qi Yu couldn't help but secretly rejoiced: You old boy, are you no longer arrogant this time? It's a good blow like this, lest you always bully that little girl Yin Tao.
While I was doing this, I suddenly saw a government servant galloping to report.
He said, Mr. Huang Feihuang, who went to the south on business, has returned.
So Qi Yu hurriedly drove his horse back to the provincial government office.
"Master Qi, we haven't seen each other for a long time! What I didn't expect is that when we meet again, you suddenly change and sit directly here as the governor." Huang Fei said jokingly as soon as they met.
Hearing this, Qi Yu quickly raised his hands toward the north and said with a smile: "Brother Huang is joking. This all comes from His Majesty's respect and favor..."
"Master Qi is too modest."
"Master Huang is overly praised."
After exchanging business blows for a while, the two moved to the living room to sit down and watch tea.
But the tea this time is the genuine Lishan high mountain tea.
oh……
Only then did Huang Fei suddenly realize that the current Dawan had been included in the territory of Qiongzhou Province. It was no wonder that he had the specialty tea of that place.
After sitting down, Qi Yu asked straight to the point: "Brother Huang, during your trip south, did you find any traces of Harry and the exiled bandit Fuxi?"
"I found it! However, it is some scattered information with no beginning and no end. It is really difficult to connect them together." Huang Fei smacked his lips and said with some regret.
"It has a beginning but no tail? That's okay, let's talk about it." Qi Yu chuckled and said.
"Well……"
Having said that, Huang Fei cleared his mind and recounted the actual investigation of the trip to the south.
The first is about Harry's route south.
Generally speaking, it is similar to Qi Yu's previous guess.
They first set sail from Qiongzhou, then followed the wind southward along the western part of Luzon. After arriving in Sarawak, they temporarily docked there to replenish the consumed supplies.
A few days later, they set sail again to the west, and then arrived at the neighboring country of Java. However, they only stayed here for more than a month, and then set sail toward the southeast.
The end result is that their whereabouts are unknown.
From a macro perspective, Harry's route is somewhat similar to a zigzag, which means that his last destination should be southeast of Qiongzhou.
"It is reasonable for Harry to stop in Sarawak to replenish supplies, but why did he come and go in Java?" Qi Yu said with a puzzled look.
Huang Fei thought for a while and said, "About this, I got some clues from the mouth of a lone Fuxi soldier..."
"Tell me."
"According to what the man said, Harry's purpose of going to Java was to find a lost secret treasure. As for what the treasure was, it was unknown. In short, with the help of the remnants of Fuxi, Harry finally found it as he wished.
That treasure, and then he took the treasure and fled somewhere in the southeast."
Secret treasure?
Hearing this, Qi Yu couldn't help but feel a tremor in his heart.
At this time, Huang Fei suddenly straightened his face and said, "Master Qi, do you feel that Harry has changed a little?"
