Qi Yu's strategy is not complicated. He just wants to use the method of "telling him with emotion and moving him with reason" to pour a pot of ecstasy on the emperor, and then make him give up this idea.
In this session, he was the lead singer with a white face, admonishing the emperor through earnest words. King Jing Xian and others were the lead singer with a black face, giving enlightenment to Jin Shang in a soft yet hard way.
The enlightenment here is worth mentioning.
King Jing Xian and others followed Qi Yu's instructions and openly published articles in newspapers as members of the royal family.
It said implicitly: At present, the country will be stable only if the feudal lords are reduced. Your Majesty should implement more benevolent policies to appease the hearts of the people, so that they can survive peacefully. If they resort to violence and start rash provocations, then they may use the topic to their advantage.
, seize the opportunity to plot chaos. By then, you will face an embarrassing situation of coexisting internal and external troubles.
Taking the opportunity to cause chaos was naturally an exaggeration, and its purpose was just to sound a warning to the little emperor.
With such concerns weighing on his mind, would he still dare to act recklessly?
In any case, this is a psychological bond, and it remains to be seen whether it will work or not.
All in all, what Qi Yu wanted to express was that there was no problem with the expedition to Goryeo, but there could be no personal expedition by the emperor.
It is really not worthwhile to take risks for the sake of a small country.
Let’s talk about Korea again.
After the battle with Fuso, their vitality was already damaged, and they had to increase their military supplies to stabilize their national defense.
The Army is relatively simple. As long as a few large-scale recruitment operations are carried out, the current shortcomings can be effectively supplemented. Of course, the financial aspect will also become tight because of this, which is unavoidable.
However, the naval force is a bit laborious. Without a year and a half of accelerated reconstruction, it would never be possible to achieve the scale of the basic unit.
In this battle, Goryeo's navy was almost completely wiped out, leaving only a dozen barely usable transport ships, and nothing else.
He is so weak, how can he do it without supplements?
However, rebuilding the navy requires corresponding wood, and wood must be purchased outside.
After weighing the matter, Jin Liufu decided to go to Australia in person to purchase the local specialty eucalyptus almond.
From the current point of view, there is really no second choice other than purchasing from Dahua.
He would never have imagined that this repurchase would actually cost him millions of taels of snowflake silver.
Yes, not only did they cut the wood shorter, but they also raised the price.
In accordance with Miss Qi's instructions before leaving, Fu Renyi directly added zero to the unit price of the Korean merchant. Moreover, he did not accept any form of bargaining.
Speaking of Qi Xiaotong, we have to mention her current trip.
The situation was roughly similar to what was expected. It took about half a year to finally reach the legendary waters of the British Empire.
The journey was basically smooth sailing, otherwise it would have taken more time.
Harry said that in addition to weather factors, he also benefited from the care along the way from Jones and others.
Otherwise, you may encounter some unexpected troubles.
The current maritime transport is not very safe. Killings, embezzling goods, and ship blocking and robbery occur from time to time.
It was the British flag flying on Jones's ship that quietly frightened those villains with ulterior motives.
In terms of influence in Europe alone, China in the East is far less powerful than this old empire. No matter what kind of religion or stream they are, they must stay away from them and give enough face.
"How dare you underestimate me, a Chinese?"
"Maybe one day you will realize that your ideas are very wrong!"
Qi Xiaotong didn't take it seriously at all when pirates blocked ships and extorted money.
If that doesn't work, let's have a killing spree and let's see who is afraid of whom?
During this trip, Qi Xiaotong paid special attention to the man-made waterway called the Suez Canal.
According to my father, this canal has a history of thousands of years.
During this period, it was excavated, repaired, abandoned, and then reopened several times. The journey was quite bumpy.
Since the advent of the Age of Discovery, countries have gradually begun to realize its importance.
This is the throat of shipping and must not be underestimated in the slightest.
However, this ancient road is no longer in keeping with the times. It has a shallow draft and narrow width, making it very inconvenient for large ships to pass through.
Therefore, how to transform and upgrade it has become a topic worth discussing.
The first is the technical aspect. For such a large fortification, if you don’t have strong construction skills, you will definitely not be able to take on this job. However, this is not unsolvable. As long as you are determined, it should be possible.
The second is financial investment.
Which country would be better suited to finance this huge sum of money?
Around this topic, senior officials from various countries conducted in-depth discussions. However, since none of them wanted to suffer a loss, they were unable to reach an agreement.
The result is that this river is still narrow, and entry and exit depend on luck. If you hit your back, you will be stranded here.
Qi Xiaotong thought about it for a while and silently kept this in mind.
During this trip, if you get the right time, you can try to get involved in this river.
If we can take over the jurisdiction of this place, it will definitely be a huge intangible wealth.
While I was thinking about it, I suddenly saw Leng Qing approaching, "Miss, in half an hour we will be able to land and dock. Is there anything else you want to give us?"
"Yes!" Qi Xiaotong straightened his face and said, "After arriving in Hong Kong, I will attend relevant activities with officials from Great Britain, but you have to stay here and cannot even leave half a step away."
"Oh? Why is this?" Leng Qing was puzzled and asked.
"In short, wait for the rabbit first, and then take advantage of it!"
"Please, Miss, please explain it more clearly!"
Qi Xiaotong nodded and further elaborated: "It is now known that the British have shipped all the steam engine parts obtained from the Dafeng ship back to their motherland. If my guess is correct, they are now conducting research. But
, those parts are all broken down, so their research work must have been hindered."
"Therefore, I have reason to suspect that they will spy on the ship we are on and then solve their technical problems. The emptiness created after we land is an opportunity in their eyes. At this time point,
They will never miss it! If you wait here and wait, you will definitely gain something."
Leng Qing nodded and asked: "Then, what is the so-called taking advantage of the situation?"
Xiaotong said: "At that time, you deliberately expose a flaw and let them steal the fake blueprints. Then, you follow quietly and follow the clues until you find their military factory..."
