Chapter 705 Coveted Australia

After Qi Yu's investigation, he discovered that there were at least five surveillance guards from the capital lurking in Qiongzhou.

Compared with before, it shows a trend from less to more.

In other words, the emperor's suspicion of Qiongzhou became more and more serious.

However, on this day, Fan Yao, who was out investigating, suddenly came to report: "Master Qi, the five internal guards under surveillance all suddenly left overnight."

Qi Yu was slightly startled and asked: "Oh? Do you know where they have gone now?"

Fan Yao seemed a little confused and said: "They moved very quickly, and it was very difficult for me to catch up. Therefore, I am not sure about their final destination."

However, his voice changed and he added: "However, I have found some signs by following the clues. Perhaps, I can provide some reference."

"Signs?" Qi Yu murmured a few words and said, "In that case, let's talk about it first."

"That's right! Although I can't keep up with the speed of the five people, I can tell the direction they are walking. Generally speaking, their trajectory is all the way south."

"What? To the south?"

"Yes! My lord!"

What a strange thing!

If they returned to Beijing, they could only go north. How could they go all the way south?

It can be seen that there must be something fishy in this!

Fortunately, Fan Yao is quite a careful person. He accurately judged the direction through the clues left by the other party.

"I followed them along the way, and finally followed them to the Sanya Pier in Qiongnan. Later, I heard an official from the Shipping Department analyze that they should have sneaked onto a cargo ship bound for Sarawak."

"Looking at it this way, it's really heading south!"

Qi Yu only thought about it a little and figured out the outline.

He could roughly conclude that these five people should be looking for Emperor Jianwu.

It can be seen that his memorial was very successful in diverting the emperor's attention, forcing him to shift his thoughts away from Qiongzhou and towards the exiled monarch.

In the emperor's view, he was just an overly powerful local official. Even if he was unable to lose his position, he could still control his power through subsequent changes in appointments.

The nature of Emperor Jianwu is completely different. He is a veritable political enemy today. If he openly raises his voice, there is no guarantee that there will be echoes from the royal family.

His Majesty the Emperor is very clear about which one is lighter and which is more important.

No matter how you say it, this is a good phenomenon.

Now that we have a chance to breathe, we must focus more on development and construction.

You must know that when dealing with political opponents, the emperor will definitely try his best to win over ministers who hold real power. From this perspective, he should be able to appropriately relax his 'supervision' of Yin Tao and his son due to his own weakness.

In other words, their safety is generally safe.

Thinking of this, Qi Yu smiled with relief, and the haze in his heart suddenly disappeared.

And at this moment, a flower magpie suddenly landed on the branch and chirped.

this……

Could it be that something happy is going to happen?

correct!

I don’t know if it was a coincidence or a sign coming true, but something good happened on this day.

It is said that after Haitao's Western Expeditionary Army succeeded in the fire attack, they immediately launched a victorious pursuit. Finally, they either annihilated or captured the remaining main force of Siam, basically eating them all.

Not long after, they immediately started a rapid march and arrived directly at the city of Kyoto in that country.

Then, the Qiongzhou Army, which had high morale, did not launch a head-on attack on the city, but used clever tactics to capture the city.

Then... what's the plan?

In short, it is to cut off the water source and cause the enemy to be in chaos without fighting.

"Wonderful! This is the meaning of conquering the enemy without fighting!"

"Hmm...why do I feel that there is a shadow of my daughter hidden in this plan? It should be so. I have seen that Haitao with my own eyes. With his brain, he should not be able to reach this level of adaptability.

…”

Forget it, guess what those people did?

Black or white cat, as long as it can catch mice, it is a good cat.

No matter who came up with the plan, wouldn't it all serve the country?

After he was overjoyed, Qi Yu immediately came to the sand table secret room and began to study the next military deployment.

At the moment, only one of the three invading countries is left, and annexing it is just a matter of time. Taken together, this matter is basically nothing to worry about.

As for the surrender of Siam, since Yu Hai and Peng Wenchang have gone to negotiate, there is no need to worry too much.

In this way, I will become much more relaxed.

So, should we take this opportunity to continue heading north to Beijing?

Qi Yu really wanted to do it, but he had more important things to do right now.

That is, you should go to Java.

Why?

There are two purposes.

First, of course, I want to meet the legendary existence Emperor Jianwu for a while, then assess the situation and make relevant dispositions or arrangements for him.

In his mind, he didn't want the former king to collapse for no reason, because his life would be more beneficial to him.

The second point is to prepare for a rainy day.

The south of Java is on the verge of Australia. Since you have chosen to go south for business, why not stop by and take a look and catch up with Harry?

The above are all motivations, but the second item is the key point.

Before this, Qi Yu had never paid much attention to Australia.

This is not because they don’t covet it, but because of their limited navigation capabilities. Nowadays, with steam engine ships as power, the round trip speed is much faster.

From a military perspective, strong mobility means strong control. Now, it seems that you have the ability to get involved.

To put it bluntly, Qi Yu really wants to take possession of Australia.

this……

Is his ambition inflated?

On the contrary, it has shrunk.

His move was premeditated.

Since he came to this world, he has secretly made up his mind and set his life ideal: if he is poor, he will be good for himself, and if he is prosperous, he will help the world.

However, reality dealt him a cruel blow.

He expanded his territory and provided generous aid, but he still failed to impress the emperor's sacred heart. Now, he still keeps his wife and children in the capital, separated by the world. How sad is it?

If the emperor's wariness increases in the future, what should he do?

Australia is a place of choice.

If that doesn't work, just go there and retire there.

The sky is clear, the fields are vast, and the grass is blown by the wind, and cattle and sheep can be seen low.

Isn’t this kind of pure natural primitive life very good?

It was precisely based on the above considerations that Qi Yu had the idea of ​​setting foot in Australia.

"If you don't think long-term, you will always have immediate worries. Only by taking a long-term view can you achieve advantages and avoid disadvantages!"

"For my family, I have to prepare for a rainy day!"
