345 Qian Qianyi’s strategy (Part 1)

In addition to military affairs, Chen Yao also sent some gossip news to the island. Not too much, but they were all related to their short hair. To be precise, they were the ones Julie asked Qian Qianyi to bring to the capital.

Related to the "gift". In addition, the staff group has finally connected to its own information channel - with Ade's temperament, it is impossible for the team Qian Qianyi brought to Beijing to insert a few eyes and ears uneasily. Although for the sake of confidentiality,

Their communication method is relatively complicated, and the message came back a step slower than the court report, but they finally got in touch. In this way, the time travelers can get more detailed information.

It is said that there was a "Western goods craze" in Beijing some time ago. In fact, the items are all from here. However, in order to avoid suspicion, Qian Qianyi and others publicized that they were imported Western goods collected in Guangzhou and brought to their colleagues in the capital to play with.

It was a novel gadget to play with. Of course, the people who received the gift must know the truth, but they tacitly understood each other, and everyone said in unison that they were Western goods, and did not mention anything about their relationship with shorthairs.

Soap, perfume, and a beautiful portable makeup box with a small glass mirror... these are the most sought-after things. For a period of time, in the social circle of the top ladies in the capital, everyone would touch up their makeup after dinner.

, when others asked the maid to hold up a large and heavy bronze mirror, she could easily take out a small silver box, open it, draw eyebrows in front of the glass mirror in the box, or take out a lipstick and put it on her lips.

Lightly trace two circles on it... That is definitely the pioneer of fashion! If there is a unique and faint fragrance on the body, when others ask, they will just wave their hands casually: "I used some Western fragrance when I took a shower."

, it’s not worth taking anything.”—The envious and jealous looks she received were enough for her to last ten and a half days.

Speaking of which, there were no women in Qian Qianyi's team, and Julie was worried that these women's products would not be easily spread. Unexpectedly, Lao Qian was so confident that he had no choice but to take the sea route. Once he landed at Tianjin Port, he would immediately

Find the largest brothel in the area and visit the most famous courtesan.

Although she is a little older, her reputation and talents are there. Not to mention the advantages in appearance or conversation and experience, just throwing out a few small songs is enough to double the value of any brothel beauty.

.Not to mention that this old talent actually spent a lot of money along the way. In addition to the more generous rewards of gold and silver than usual, he also got the kind of shiny, fragrant and fresh "Western goods" that a woman would never be able to resist.

"Gift.

Along the way from Tianjin to Beijing, Lao Qian was very romantic and happy - Shorthair provided him with a large number of props to show off and deceive others, while the Zheng family provided him with the most abundant and abundant financial support.

Zheng Zhifeng, Zheng Cai and others came to Beijing for the first time, and they were lucky enough to follow the idols of scholars such as Qian Dacaizi. They were willing to be good friends along the way, scrambling to take out money, but they were too slow to take it out and were not happy... Such a flamboyant thing

The consequences are: Before the rich man has even arrived in the capital, the entire social and entertainment circles in Beijing already know that Qian Shouzhi, the most popular talent in the Ming Dynasty who was half the sky in those days, is back!

"***, that old guy is really good at creating publicity... They are all our products!"

"Forget it, let's just ask celebrities to endorse and advertise. We may not be able to hire Lao Qian with his reputation even today."

Although they felt a little unhappy, the staff had to admit that this move was really clever. For modern people who are accustomed to all kinds of "scandals", "secret histories", "erotic affairs" and other public opinion hype methods, this move is not surprising.

, but it is quite surprising to see these methods in a Ming Dynasty person, even if he is the famous Qian Qianyi.

All in all, through these very informal but extremely effective small means, Qian Qianyi, the originally unpopular "Qiongzhou Recruitment Envoy of the Ming Dynasty", successfully attracted the attention of the court and was granted an audience with the Emperor as soon as he arrived in Beijing.

Officials who usually go to Beijing to report on their duties have to wait in the capital for several months or even half a year. From this perspective, the time and energy he spent on socializing along the way was by no means a waste, but on the contrary, it was a very successful investment, or hype.

The same method was not only used among the people, but also used by Qian Qianyi in the court. When Emperor Chongzhen formally summoned him at the court meeting in front of all civil and military officials, Lao Qian was not in a hurry to talk about recruitment.

Instead, he first prostrated himself prostratingly and shouted three times to the mighty Emperor of Heaven. Guests from all over the world are in submission. My Ming Dynasty is mighty. Why do you say that? Just when the emperor and all the officials in the court were in a daze, Qian Qianyi asked someone to bring out the

An exhibition board studded with Western coins.

This thing was originally only used as a supplementary prop for the "Chongzhen Tongbao" to prove the legitimacy of the coins on the emperor's portrait - Wen De Si Ling Ning and others did not think too much when they created this display board. But Qian Qianyi did not

I discovered another meaning of these coins on my own - these are trophies. Behind each coin, it represents a hearty victory, the victory of our Chinese ethnic group against the Western Yi!

The great talent Qian was very good at telling stories. He danced and introduced the country, history, and general situation of the coins one by one to the Ming Emperor and other senior officials. In fact, he took this opportunity to impress the entire Ming court.

A lesson on the current world situation, especially the history and geography of European countries - this knowledge was introduced by Ling Ning and others when they recommended this display board to Lao Qian, and they were also mentioned occasionally in their chats while playing golf.

And, but they are all scattered and unsystematic, just used as fodder for small talk. Unexpectedly, Lao Qian has been secretly remembering them. Fortunately, he has the ability to remember many anecdotes that he has only heard once.

He was able to keep everything in mind, summarize it on his own, and give an accurate summary of the general trend of the world. Even though there were some fallacies in it, no one in the court could point them out.

——Indeed, he did not encounter any obstruction. It is said that the court meeting that day almost became his personal performance stage for Qian Muzhai. For several hours, the civil and military officials in the court, regardless of faction, whether close or distant, were quietly listening to Qian Qianyi's speech.

, this was almost impossible in the Ming Dynasty, where no matter what the topic was, it would inevitably lead to an uproar. And the duration of this court meeting was far longer than usual. The court meeting that usually ended before noon was postponed until the evening.

As for Emperor Chongzhen, who had always been frugal, he showed a rare act of generosity and allowed the court officials to stay for dinner - and asked the imperial kitchen to give each person a bowl of Yangchun noodles.

When Lao Qian's performance was about to end, someone finally stood up and complained, saying that you, Mu Zhaigong, boasted so much, but those were all the achievements of the Kun people in Nanhai. What benefit did they have to our Ming Dynasty? However, this hit Qian.

Someone's intention - maybe the person who gave the advice was a shill arranged by him - Qian Qianyi immediately waved his sleeves and took out the terms signed with Qiong Haijun - of course in his mouth, it became the surrender of the Nanhai Kun people.

Shu Shunbiao, Xiaoxiao laughed loudly: so that you can know that this Qiongzhou strong army has been used by our Ming Dynasty!

…………

"It's really unexpected. Lao Qian would actually use that roundabout method to avoid the main conflict. Judging from his words and deeds on Hainan Island, I thought he would be foolish enough to hope to impress the emperor with just one article."

After learning about Ambassador Qian's outstanding performance in the court, which surprised everyone, the staff members were all surprised that the old man would use this method to deal with the Ming Dynasty court. You must know that Qian Qianyi signed

This peace treaty is unprecedented in the history of the Ming Dynasty. Many of its terms are equal and mutually beneficial to both parties in the eyes of modern people. However, in the eyes of the scholar-bureaucrats of the Ming Dynasty, they would definitely be criticized as "treason and unethical". Therefore, there were some discussions within the staff group.

They were worried that even if the negotiations on Hainan's side went smoothly, Beijing might not be able to pass it. After all, the entire bureaucratic system in the late Ming Dynasty was characterized by extreme rigidity and rigidity, but also blind arrogance without reason.

But Qian Qianyi himself was confident and said that the matter could definitely be done. Only he could handle the matter, so we had to listen to him. But everyone here had some doubts after all - Qian Qianyi had never been known for his tact and sophistication in history.

, but left a lot of dumbfounding jokes, such as the famous "The water is too cold." Coupled with personal contact some time ago, everyone generally felt that although the most talented man in the late Ming Dynasty had good literary talent and was indeed extremely smart, he

When it comes to doing things, there is still the inevitable rigidity and nerdy habits of literati in this era. No matter how perfect the external conditions are, if the person doing the work is not good, it will still be messed up.

Unexpectedly, this old man seemed to have become a different person after leaving Hainan Island, and his behavior suddenly became much more sophisticated. What is going on?

"Study, he is also learning our negotiation and negotiation techniques!"

In the end, old professor Li Mingyuan put it bluntly. The reason why Qian Qianyi had such a big change was not because of anything else, but precisely because of their own shortcomings - the various means they used during negotiations: how to control the negotiation situation.

; How to grasp the pace of negotiation; and how to avoid the main contradiction when the two parties have huge differences; or draw the other party's attention to other secondary aspects... Qian Qianyi has personally experienced all these strategies, and of course he has a profound experience. Then live

Learn how to use it flexibly, and then turn around and use it in negotiations with the court. He can apply it so skillfully after just reading it once. He is worthy of being the most talented person in the late Ming Dynasty.

Through this series of dazzling performances, in the court of the Ming Empire, from the monarch to the civil and military officials, almost everyone subconsciously accepted the flattering attitude towards the Qiongzhou Shorthair, until later when the peace treaty was sent to the cabinet for review

Only then did opposition really begin to emerge - after all, these provisions were there, and there was Wen Tiren, Qian's bitter rival, in the cabinet, so he would definitely be stumbling.

However, Qian Qianyi, who had already prepared for it, used his second move to resolve these criticisms - he sent the short-haired tribute he brought to the palace, and other small gifts began to circulate around the capital, thus once again successfully attracting everyone's attention.
