It must be said that Harry has a very good understanding of Australia.
He made a comprehensive and in-depth analysis from various perspectives such as geographical environment, humanities and customs, power distribution, resource situation, etc.
This information has greatly enriched Qi Yu's understanding of this place.
It can be said to have benefited a lot.
Needless to say, Qi Dalang has long been familiar with geography and resources, and this hearing is just to confirm it.
As for humanities and power, this was the first time he heard about it, so he was naturally very attentive.
Let’s explain them one by one.
The degree of civilization here is still quite primitive, and there is basically no representative humanities at all. Although it has moved away from making fire with wood and tying ropes to record events, it is not too sophisticated.
Of course, primitiveness means ignorance, and ignorance means that subsequent education is easier to carry out.
This is like a clean piece of white paper. Whatever you draw will reflect the ideology. This is undoubtedly good news for Harry's missionary work.
Let’s talk about the distribution of power again.
Since Australia is a very vast area, it has naturally given birth to a number of various tribes, large and small. There is no fixed pattern that can be followed by attracting and attacking each other.
To describe it in one word, it is chaos!
However, in Qi Yu's view, chaos is more conducive to the subsequent great cause of unification.
If all these tribes unite, then we will be one against many. Although this will not lead to failure, it will definitely cost more effort.
Overall, the current situation is still very favorable to our side.
Since Harry was not good at military affairs, he consciously kept his mouth shut and waited for Mr. Qi to express his opinions on this matter.
"First take this place as the foundation, and then gradually start to expand to the surrounding areas. We will support the war with war, consolidate supplies, and when we find a suitable opportunity, we will attack decisively and complete the great cause of unification with lightning speed."
"Master Qi, your idea... seems a little too cautious, right?"
It is good to proceed step by step, but that will slow down the pace of the entire war.
In other words, although his strategy is sound, it will waste a lot of time.
Qi Yu sighed softly and said: "Although our Qiongzhou's combat power has an absolute advantage, judging from the current situation, we are outnumbered after all. We must not be too quick when it comes to swallowing the elephant. We must be safe."
Correct answer. In addition, I don’t want to increase the killing in Australia. If there is less bloodshed, there will be less bloodshed. Only in this way can the occurrence of public resentment be reduced."
Public grievance? How much is it worth?
Harry rolled his eyes and ignored it.
What he is concerned about is how to achieve greater unification better and faster.
Because, only in that way can his status keep up with the rising tide and reach that high position.
Harry thought about it for a while and asked: "Master Qi, when you say that we are outnumbered and the enemy is outnumbered, does it mean that our troops are insufficient?"
Cough, spit!
Aren’t you asking knowingly~~
Qi Yu rolled his eyes at him angrily, and then nodded.
Unexpectedly, Harry smiled and said, "Sir, I can help you solve this problem, Mr. Ha!"
"Oh?" Qi Yu was stunned and asked, "I wonder what Brother Ha has to do?"
"To be honest, Mr. Qi, I learned a kind of beast control technique here. You can understand that I have the ability to tame wild beasts for my own use, and then participate in battles to defeat the enemy. As for its attack power, it is no less than the local indigenous people."
Elite soldiers. If they help us, our efficiency will definitely increase by three points."
"Beast control?"
After hearing this, Qi Yu suddenly remembered.
Harry's current mount is a fat ostrich, and his guards are several majestic kangaroos.
From this point of view, what he said just now was not just a false statement.
After clicking his tongue in surprise, Qi Yu smiled and praised: "If we get Brother Ha's help, we will be able to unify them soon!"
"Of course!"
…
The war in Australia is in full swing, and the actions on the tribute list are also unambiguous.
Since the Hong Tao Army received military aid from Qiongzhou, its mobility and combat effectiveness have been greatly improved, almost half a level higher than during the Battle of Siam.
So in the first encounter, he went smoothly.
However, the Gongbang Army was no fool. They quickly adjusted their strategy and stabilized the overall situation.
They took advantage of the favorable terrain and stopped the Qiongzhou Army's advance in time.
This was a big blow to Hong Tao.
However, what is even worse is...
A secret message came from Qiongzhou saying that His Majesty the Emperor had given Qi Xiaotong a golden wedding and betrothed her to the son of the family of Liang Yingzhong, the chief minister of the current cabinet.
This news was like a devastating nuclear bomb, instantly destroying Hong Tao's mentality.
It almost collapsed.
Objectively speaking, the two families were well matched, and the marriage was decreed by the emperor, so it was impossible for anyone to reverse it.
If nothing else happens, this matter is ironclad.
"well……"
"Thinking of the long journey of heaven and earth, I shed tears with sadness..."
Hong Tao recited fragments of poems taught by Peng Wenchang, and drank alone sadly, savoring the bitterness and sadness in the wine.
From time to time, he would close his eyes and meditate, shaking his head and sighing, with a helpless sense of loss all over his face.
What about marching and fighting, what about making achievements, go to hell with all that?
If this matter is messed up, what's the point of my efforts?
Hong Tao really wanted to tell Xiaotong about this, but he was worried that her statement would hurt him even more. He was worried about gains and losses, so he had to think about it by himself.
As for countermeasures, he also figured out a way.
The best way is to go to Qiongzhou in person and beg your future father-in-law, hoping that he will exert all his strength and use extraordinary means to stop this matter.
Unfortunately, a scout came to report that Mr. Qi is currently on a tour to the south. The date of his return is still unknown.
As a result, he didn't even have anyone to turn to for help.
I was feeling sad and wet when I suddenly saw Qi Qingyun coming to see me every day.
When they met, he was stunned at first and said curiously: "As the saying goes, a man never sheds tears easily. Why did the general shed tears like this?"
Hong Tao smiled bitterly and replied: "A man won't shed tears easily? Haha, it's just that he hasn't reached the sad point yet!"
Qi Qingyun hurriedly clasped his fists and said: "I don't know what your lord is worried about. You might as well talk to the general. Maybe I can help you a little bit."
"just you?"
Hong Tao was about to refuse, but then he thought: As the old saying goes, three stooges are better than Zhuge Liang. Who knows, he can really come up with some good ideas!
That’s okay!
Today, I am here to talk to you about the last time I was ill and went to the doctor.
