Qi Yu smiled mysteriously and said: "It takes a thousand days to raise an army, but it takes a while to use it. How well the army is raised will be revealed soon."
What's the meaning?
Hearing this, Gao Zhongde's confusion became even worse.
However, Qi Yu did not explain this further, and just ordered: "After the discussion is over, immediately rectify the army and prepare to accompany me south on official business. Soon, there will be a place for you to use. By then, you can do a lot of things
Don’t back down from the battle!”
Going south on business?
Could it be that they are going to attack Java?
Gao Zhongde didn't say anything, but he secretly made calculations in his heart. It seems that the opportunity for him to make a contribution is not far away...
Soon, the special train arrived at its destination, ‘Luzon Yamen Station’.
Get off the car!
Next, there is the reception.
Liu Jincheng thought for a while and said: "Brother-in-law, you have traveled far and wide and have been wandering here, so your body must be very tired. How about I prepare a banquet for you, little brother, to take care of you?"
This is official practice.
Nothing wrong with it.
However, Qi Yu refused.
"As the saying goes, tranquility is used to cultivate one's character, and frugality is used to cultivate virtue. If you indulge in a life of debauchery, what's the point of working hard to improve your health?"
"this……"
"Isn't it just a meal? Wouldn't it be better to be simple?"
"Well……"
Originally, when Qi Yu saw his brother-in-law's troubled face, he wanted to comfort him. However, when he saw his lavish look, he couldn't help but feel sick again.
This kid has to be beaten frequently. Once the praise is too much, it is inevitable that he will become arrogant.
Therefore, I must not instill a luxurious style in him, lest he follow suit.
The so-called reception banquet is very simple and simple. It is completely consumed at a roadside stall.
Since Chinese culture became popular here, Central Plains delicacies have also followed, and can be found in almost every city.
“Pan Jinlian’s pickles are delicious and refreshing; Wu Dalang’s sesame cakes are all crispy. Authentic mainland food, if it’s not delicious, it’s free…”
"The authentic Governor Qi set meal, four side dishes, a pot of wine, only costs fifty Asian dollars..."
Well, this kind of place is so down-to-earth!
Come and try it?
good!
Seeing the prosperous Luzon Mansion, Qi Yu was both happy and gratified.
While he was happy, it also caused him to think deeply.
Since Luzon can be transformed into pure Chinese customs, why can't Australia?
That continent is not that big. As long as the government is properly managed and science is developed, its achievements will never be inferior to Luzon. It will even be better than Qiongzhou.
The future is promising!
…
The stay in Luzon was only for two days. On the third day, Qi Yu led the Luzon garrison and set off in a mighty manner.
Just like when they left Qiongzhou, no one knew where they went.
In short, it is absolutely confidential.
Before leaving, Qi Yu specially told Liu Jincheng: "Don't be lazy, you must work hard. It is very likely that your career will be further improved in the future."
The latter was shocked when he heard this and was speechless.
Go one step further...who wouldn't be tempted?
However, Liu Jincheng always felt that his brother-in-law was painting a cake for him.
how to say?
You see, I am already the chief pastor of a party at the state capital level. If I go up further, wouldn't it mean that I have entered the ranks of provincial officials?
I really don’t dare to think about it~~
Qi Yu didn't explain too much, he just smiled mysteriously and left happily.
Liu Jincheng looked at the southward fleet and fell into unextricable speculation...
The north wind is still blowing the sails going south.
Bon voyage.
Not long after, Qi Yu and his party approached the waters of Sarawak.
Some spies reported that Duan Zicheng has now effectively controlled the political arena in Java and is currently dealing with the aftermath.
I believe that it will take no more than three months to stabilize the political situation in that country.
As for Sarawak, which I am about to visit, I have basically fallen into the arms of Qiongzhou Province.
What is missing now is just an announcement.
"First we will stop temporarily in Sarawak, and after replenishing supplies, we will advance towards Java."
"yes!"
When Gao Zhongde heard this, he not only showed a complacent expression of being able to pinch and calculate, but also thought to himself: All this going around and around finally ended up in Java!
But!
That country has already been captured by Lord Duan. If this is the case, why would Lord Qi send more troops to start an attack?
Even if we want to defend it, there is no need to mobilize troops from Luzon.
Can't figure it out?
It’s okay if you can’t figure it out, just take your time and take a look!
The Qiong Army's landing this time was conducted in a very orderly manner, neither ostentatious nor disturbing, and did not cause any offense to the people around them.
Even so, it still caused an uproar.
After Leng Qing learned that Qi Yu was coming in person, she immediately sent the newly crowned little king to greet him in person with all the officials. To show her solemnity, she also specially ordered someone to issue a welcome announcement.
Mr. Qi?
Who is he...
The people all shook their heads, saying that they had not heard much.
However, when they learned through the grapevine that the father of the "Jade Faced Rakshasa" was coming, they immediately changed their original attitude.
They all dressed up in festive costumes, then lined up left and right to greet each other devoutly.
This move made Qi Yu extremely shocked.
It is really incomprehensible that people like them do not recognize themselves but only respect their daughters.
A scout told him privately that the eldest lady's reputation in Sarawak was almost divine, and she was deeply loved by the people, which was completely reasonable.
It is said that her masked portrait is enshrined in some people's homes, which shows her high status.
Oh, I see!
Amid cheers, Qi Yu landed on the land in a grand manner.
After many twists and turns, we finally arrived at the royal palace in Sarawak.
Taking advantage of this little time before the banquet started, Leng Qing held a private discussion with him.
"Eh? Are you a cold beauty? Why do you look more and more like an eighteenth-year-old as you live more?"
"Humph! But the more you live, the more immoral you become."
Seeing Qi Yu making fun remarks, Leng Qing couldn't help but feel a little shy.
However, in this astringency, Qi Dalang tasted a different taste.
Compared to before, Leng Qing now looks more like a normal person, less murderous and more ladylike.
It seems that she has become accustomed to her current identity.
Leng Qing, on the other hand, was also observing Qi Yu silently, only to find that he still looked the same as before.
The slightly different thing is that the aura seems a bit thicker.
"There is no need to say more pleasantries. Today, I want to have a heart-to-heart talk with you."
"Oh? What does Mr. Qi want to talk about?"
Hearing this, Leng Qing put down the tea cup and looked at him with gleaming eyes.
