Early the next morning, Qi Yu took a steam engine ship and set off from Tianzi Pier.
There were not many people seeing him off, except for the big officials, there was only Xiaotong.
Originally, Liu Quan and Zhou wanted to follow, but they were dissuaded by Qi Yu: It was just a small farewell, why should it be so sad?
All right!
Seeing his relaxed expression, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law no longer insisted on seeing him off.
Before sailing, Qi Yu deliberately handed the seal and ribbon into his daughter's hand in front of all the officials. However, he waved and left without even saying a word of explanation.
The implication of this.
Just try it yourself!
According to the current system, women are not allowed to become officials, so Qi Yu does not expressly authorize it.
However, he also wanted to create an opportunity for his daughter to learn, so he deliberately staged such a scene.
Qi Yu felt that as Nanyang's territory was getting bigger and bigger, it was necessary to take precautions to cultivate some trustworthy and useful talents. And Xiaotong had this potential.
If it really comes to an emergency, why should we talk about the distinction between men and women? As long as we can stabilize the overall situation, we are a rare pillar of the country.
Isn’t Liang Hongyu in history an example?
Even if His Majesty knew it, what weird words could he say?
Therefore, rules are dead and people are alive. There is no such thing as absolute impossibility!
Everything is human-made!
Of course, this is Qi Yu's special selfishness towards his little cotton-padded jacket, but isn't that the case for any father?
No one expressed objection to Xiaotong's secret participation in politics.
Firstly, each department is an old and hard-core team promoted by Qi Yu, and there is absolutely no chance of any mentality of inferiority. Secondly, they also fully recognize Xiaotong's personal ability, and even have a bit of admiration for him.
With these two factors in mind, they naturally can't say anything sarcastic.
The most important thing is that Qiongzhou has nothing major to deal with at the moment. She can do whatever internship she wants. What's wrong with that?
Not only Qi Yu, but also all departments believe that the current Qiongzhou Province is as stable as Mount Tai and there should be no accidents.
However, they all guessed wrong!
On the third day after Qi Yu left, Annan Mansion guard Hong Tao suddenly sent an urgent military report.
It said that Laos, Siam, and Konbaung formed a military alliance to work together to deal with the threat from Annam. And just the day before yesterday, the enemy and us officially started a war!
In the first battle, Hong Tao gave full play to the advantage of infantry assault and repelled all the invading coalition forces in one go. After that, the two sides fell into a temporary stalemate.
In other words, both sides are looking for loopholes and weaknesses in the other side, and once they find them, they will bite them to death.
"this……"
"Yeah, what should we do?"
Not only the departments, but also Qi Xiaotong frowned and fell into deep thought.
Frictions on Annan's side do not happen every day or two. Almost every once in a while, corresponding military intelligence reports will come in. Therefore, it is not unexpected for the two sides to have military conflicts.
However, what is unexpected is that the three small countries actually formed a military alliance with the same enemy. This was never expected.
At the moment, Annan's army is fighting one against three, and the small ones are fighting the big ones. This kind of winning rate... is a bit uncertain!
In other words, there is really no telling who will win in the end.
In the event of an emergency, who will make the decision?
Everyone looked at me and I looked at you, and finally, they all turned their attention to Xiaotong.
If the seal and ribbon are with her, then she is in charge.
After several refusals to no avail, Xiaotong had no choice but to agree.
As far as the military is concerned, Qi Yu is the general leader and Duan Zicheng is the second in charge. However, at the moment, one of them has gone north to Beijing and the other has not returned to guard Sarawak. It seems that they have to make their own decisions.
The military situation is urgent and we need to make an immediate decision!
"I think I have to go to Annan personally to supervise the war, otherwise I will feel uneasy!" Xiaotong opened his brows and said with determination.
Peng Wenchang, who has some military knowledge, agreed after some consideration: "It is indeed urgent to rush to Annan's aid, and the eldest lady's idea of supervising the war is very correct."
Yu Hai and Tan Junyan looked at each other and nodded.
established!
Xiaotong added: "Now that the war is rekindled and the crisis is resurrected, Qiongzhou's military defense will have to make some adjustments. Annan is too close to our provincial capital. If something goes wrong, the consequences will be disastrous. To prepare for the unexpected, I want to send
Only when my father is called back and his old man is here to take charge can I let go of Annan." According to the itinerary, Qi Yu only walked for three days. If he pursued with all his strength, he should be able to defeat him in more than ten days.
Back and forth.
All the officials agreed on this matter.
They believe that this is the safest approach. Since it is safe and feasible, why take dangerous risks?
Without waiting for Xiaotong to make arrangements, Yu Hai rushed to send an order: quickly catch up to Mr. Qi who went north, saying that the situation in Nanyang has suddenly changed...
It was foreseeable that Qi Yu's plan to go north this time was going to come to nothing.
Xiaotong thought for a while and ordered: "Quickly mobilize relevant armaments and be on standby at any time. Early tomorrow morning, I will personally lead the rescue of Annan. There must be no mistake!"
"yes!"
After issuing the order, Qi Xiaotong immediately rushed to the military camp of the Fu army.
Little did he know that Qi Qingyun had been waiting for her for a long time.
He heard that the eldest lady wanted to send troops to help Annan, so he hurried over.
Since Xiaotong last expressed his intention to use him seriously, he has been thinking deeply about how to make achievements all the time.
Now, wouldn’t we come across the right opportunity?
However, Xiaotong rejected him directly.
The specific reason is, "You don't have any military experience, so I'm afraid you won't be able to take on such a big responsibility. So, I will assign you to Luzon in exchange for General Gao Zhongde. What do you think?"
Everyone in the military knows that Gao Zhongde's naval combat ability is relatively average, but his land combat ability is very outstanding. If he assists Haitao in land combat, it will definitely produce the ideal effect of one plus one being greater than two.
Looking at Qi Qingyun again, although he is highly skilled in martial arts, his knowledge of the art of war is relatively insufficient. No matter how you look at it, he cannot meet the requirements of a general. Luzon is relatively stable, and he can barely do the job when he is sent to guard it.
Therefore, Xiaotong’s arrangement is quite reasonable.
However, from Qi Qingyun's point of view, he felt that he was a bit underestimated.
Although my experience is seriously lacking, I can still learn while fighting! As long as I use my heart to understand, I will definitely gain something.
"Miss! Please give me this chance!"
"this……"
After saying that, Qi Qingyun knelt down on one knee, showing a pleading look.
Xiaotong couldn't bear to see it, gritted her teeth and said: "Forget it, I'll take you with me!"
