After Li Xiucheng marched into Sichuan with 100,000 soldiers and horses, although he soon opened up the situation with Shi Dakai, as Sichuan's territory became larger and larger, there were more and more differences between the two people.Shi Dakai wanted to learn from Zhuge Liang to go north out of Qishan, march into Guanzhong, and wave his army to the Central Plains.Li Xiucheng only thought about managing the treasure land of Sichuan and establishing a Great Shu State to be his prime minister and military adviser.In order to compete for control of the imperial court, the two of them have been fighting openly and secretly all day long, and they have gradually surfaced from the dark to the table.When Qiao Zhiyuan heard the third brother say this, his mind immediately brightened up.I also admire this third brother more and more, no matter when he is always so clear-headed."
So, you agree to sign this peace agreement with the imperial court" Qiao Zhiyuan finally asked for the opinion of the third brother."
Agreed, take Xiangyang and Yangzhou for a huge Sichuan, no matter how you calculate.As long as Luo Bingzhang is transferred from Sichuan, Shi Dakai and Li Xiucheng will inevitably move from cooperation to fighting, and we will profit from the fishermen and take Sichuan in one fell swoop. ”Qiao Zhiqing smiled and returned the draft to Qiao Zhiyuan."
Okay, we will formally sign a peace treaty with the Qing court tomorrow.These grandsons are all waiting to go back and deal with their masters" Qiao Zhiyuan breathed a sigh of relief and teased with a smile."
Then it's hard second brother."
Qiao Zhiqing smiled and nodded, and after sending Qiao Zhiyuan out of the door, he asked Zeng Jiyun to order some food and sit down in the pavilion outside the house.It's the middle of summer, and it's hot.Qiao Zhiqing hated that if he couldn't invent the air conditioner, he wouldn't have to suffer this living crime.But at the current pace of development, I'm afraid I won't be able to catch up in my life."
Brother Qiao, let's eat some watermelon to relieve the heat first."
Zeng Jiyun shouted sweetly with a fruit bowl and sat down opposite Qiao Zhiqing."
Ji Yun, you're really cool in what you're wearing."
Qiao Zhiqing's eyes kept focused on Zeng Jiyun's chest, and his body became even hotter.She wore a light silk undershirt today, and inside was a slightly revealing suspender skirt.The combination of this thin shirt and skirt is also the most popular way to wear it in Nanjing.It is still somewhat similar to the women's clothing of the Han Dynasty, but after Pan Qiaoyu's improvement, it is simpler and thinner."
Is it good-looking, the little girls outside are wearing it like this now, saying that they want to liberate themselves and pursue freedom."
Zeng Jiyun put down the fruit plate, and stretched out his arms to earn a circle in front of Qiao Zhiqing, dancing like a fairy."
But you are free, and the men will suffer."
Qiao Zhiqing laughed evilly, picked up the watermelon and nibbled on it.Suddenly, a feeling of chilling spread throughout the body, no matter what time this watermelon is, it is still a good thing to cool off."
Sir, miss, it's time to eat."
After a while, Miko Abe brought the meal.The standard is three dishes and one soup, two vegetables and one meat."
Miko, you can sit down and eat too."
Qiao Zhiqing greeted and smiled at Miko Abe."
No, I've already eaten in the cafeteria just now."
After Miko Abe saw her brother's letter, she cried behind closed doors for a whole day and a night, and finally accepted this reality.Now there is always a faint sadness on his face, and his smile is not so natural."
Okay, you can step back first, and come back to clean up later."
Qiao Zhi gave a light order, picked up the rice bowl and ate it in a big gulp.He often doesn't eat on time, and Zeng Jiyun also accompanies him every day to be hungry."
Brother Qiao, Japan is not far from here, when will Sister Meizi go home" Zeng Jiyun and Abe Miko are now sisters, both of them are lonely and helpless people in the house, and they talked a few times, and the more they talked, the more they sympathized with each other."
It's half a month by boat, and we'll probably send troops to Japan by this time next year, and Miko will go back with her."
Qiao Zhiqing secretly calculated the time in his heart, according to the current strength of the shogunate, at most he would hold out until next year and ask for help from himself."
I don't know what happened to Qiao Shanxing, maybe I shouldn't have sent her back in the first place."
Qiao Zhiqing's heart suddenly became entangled, and he felt guilty when he thought of Qiao Shanxing."
Great, I'll tell her to go later."
Zeng Jiyun smiled excitedly and took a big bite of comfort."
Brother Qiao, you are here, there is an important military report."
At this time, Wei Ziyou's shout came from not far away, and he walked over with small steps."
What's the matter" Qiao Zhiqing also filled his stomach, put down the dishes and chopsticks, and asked Wei Ziyou."
The news was sent by the Su family in Indonesia, a combined fleet from the West, which just passed through Malacca last month, and the target is likely to be coming at us."
Wei Ziyou walked over, handed the military newspaper in his hand to Qiao Zhiqing, sat down at the stone table, took out a silk scarf and wiped the sweat on his head."
Let's eat some watermelon to relieve the heat."
Qiao Zhiqing took the military newspaper and commanded Wei Ziyou while reading it.Wei Ziyou sat down with a smile, and when he saw Zeng Jiyun's new clothes, he immediately chatted in a whisper.In this news in the military newspaper, Su Taigong put a lot of effort into marking all the situations clearly.Even the offensive routes of the Combined Fleet were all marked.It is no wonder that Su Taigong is now a Chinese leader in Indonesia and Malaysia.When the combined fleet arrived in Nanyang, all the military salaries and materials were raised by the Su family, and it was not surprising that the Su family had access to high-level intelligence.Foreign devils would definitely not have thought that the Su family would have a relationship with Qiao Zhiqing."
Ji Yun, you let the soldiers go to the naval barracks outside the city and call Huang Wenzhong over.Let him put down what he is doing and come over immediately. ”Qiao Zhiqing put away the military newspaper, got up and walked to the study.Zeng Jiyun hadn't seen him so serious, so he nodded hurriedly and let the soldiers at the gate of the courtyard give the order.Qiao Zhiqing entered the study, hurriedly laid out the topographic map on the ground, carefully compared the route on the military newspaper, and pondered carefully.This time, the combined fleet was still led by Britain, and the foreign devils suffered a big loss, and they were full of grievances.At once, France, the Netherlands, Portugal, and Italy were gathered, a total of 20 warships, and more than 20,000 soldiers and horses came in a mighty manner.Now it has sailed to the Strait of Malacca to resupply in Singapore, and ships from the Far East are converging on Singapore.The United States was too busy with the Civil War at home to take care of East Asia, so it did not participate in this operation.The coalition forces were preparing to launch an attack on China from both land and sea directions, with the former British naval commander Hobb as the commander-in-chief of the navy and Gordon, the commander-in-chief of the army, who had just been promoted to the rank of admiral.These two are also old acquaintances of Qiao Zhiqing, and now they are forced to transfer back to the Far East due to the situation."
President, Navy Commander Huang Wenzhong is here."
Zeng Jiyun had a serious face, and bowed to Qiao Zhiqing, looking serious."
Let him in."
Qiao Zhiqing waved his hand and gestured, and marked back and forth on the topographic map without raising his head."
Yes" Zeng Jiyun responded sweetly, and after turning around and retreating, there was a sonorous footsteps outside the door."
Handsome."
After Huang Wenzhong entered the house, he straightened up and gave a military salute to Qiao Zhiqing."
Sit down and talk, I'll put all the information on the small case on the couch for you, you can take a look first."

Qiao Zhiqing commanded and hung the topographic map on the wall."
Damn, foreign devils are going to kill themselves" Huang Wenzhong didn't finish reading it, and he shouted angrily."
Don't talk big about it yet, the foreign devils are fierce this time, and a total of twenty warships have been gathered, you must be careful to deal with it" Qiao Zhiqing woke up first, looked at the topographic map and sighed."
A few days ago, the Jiangnan Shipyard and the Fuzhou Shipyard had just launched two large 8,000-ton warships of Guangdong and Guangxi.Our total tonnage is not much different from that of foreign devils. ”Huang Wenzhong confidently replied that there are currently a total of 14 warships in the navy.Six battleships of more than 8,000 tons, eight ships of more than 6,000 tons.It is not inferior to any other country in the world.The most important thing is the Jiangnan Military Factory's specially developed general cannon for the navy, which has now been fully assembled to the navy, and I don't know how much more powerful than the previous breech gun."
It's good to have faith, remember, strategically defy the enemy, but tactically you must pay attention to the enemy.The navy of the Huaxing Army has only just used large warships, and it has no actual experience in ocean-going operations, so everything has to be careful. ”Qiao Zhiqing mentioned with a serious face."
Yes, Dashuai, my subordinates know."
Huang Wenzhong saluted, stood straight beside Qiao Zhiqing, and looked at the various directions marked by Qiao Zhiqing on the topographic map."
At present, Hong Kong is still in the hands of foreign devils, and I didn't want to completely cut off business contacts with foreign devils, so I didn't let Chen Bingwen attack Hong Kong and Macau.The first bridgehead attacked by foreign devils will definitely be these two places.We have set up an ambush here to keep the enemy out of the country, and we must not let foreign devils step into the East China Sea again. ”Qiao Zhiqing drew a circle with his finger in the direction of the South China Sea and reminded Huang Wenzhong."
Yes, my subordinates obey."
Huang Wenzhong's eyes were bright and his fighting spirit was high."
Alright, go down and make a detailed plan for me.I will immediately send a telegram to Chen Bingwen in Canton, and ask him to quickly occupy Hong Kong and Macao, and cooperate with your actions on land. ”Qiao Zhiqing commanded, looked at Huang Wenzhong's confident appearance, and nodded with satisfaction.After Huang Wenzhong went down, Qiao Zhiqing immediately summoned Wei Ziyou into the house and wrote a letter for her to pass it to Chen Bingwen urgently.I don't know why, hearing the news of the arrival of the United Fleet, Qiao Zhiqing felt a lot more relieved.This is a war related to the fortunes of the country, and after this war, no one in the world can stop the pace of China's rise.After Huang Wenzhong went back, he gathered all the captains overnight, worked out a detailed plan overnight, and handed it over to Qiao Zhiqing at dawn the next day.Qiao Zhiqing added some of his own opinions and quickly made a reply.Huang Wenzhong is still sober-minded, and in the battle plan, he did not directly confront the foreigners.Instead, the strategy of sneak attack was adopted, first luring the enemy into the depths, and then dispersing and annihilating them.Three days later, the combined fleet of the Navy finished replenishing in various ports and headed for the South China Sea.The war clouds are dense in the South China Sea, and the Combined Fleet is also nervously heading towards the South China Sea, and Qiao Zhiqing expected it well, He Bo really meant to pass through Hong Kong and take Guangzhou first.After gaining a firm foothold, he then divided his troops into two routes, went north to Shanghai, and went straight to Nanjing along the Yangtze River
