"Every country is governed by many powers, such as Tongzhi's family. Either the east wind overcame the west, or the west wind overpowered the east wind. It seems that the first emperor of every country had only appeared a few years after he ascended the throne …"
"However, that was only with the might of an empire that was winning every battle. It was barely sustained for a few years. After that, the Great Qin Empire collapsed, leaving behind an extremely controversial historical topic …"
"What can the Tang Sect's Ancestor Song do? Wasn't Li Shimin also relying on the Black Tortoise Sect's transformation to ascend the throne? "The Tang Dynasty's internal clans are not strong enough. Guan Long, Shandong, Jiangnan and Hedong are all in conflict with each other. Generations of Tang Emperors are fighting with each other as well …"
"Let alone the legend of Song Taizu's candlelight axe shadow. In addition, during the Song Dynasty, the ranks of the imperial scholars were getting stronger and stronger. Throughout the entire Northern and Southern Song, the imperial power had always been repressed …"
After the conclusion of the battle, Xiao Letian's small stove class started again. Below the stage, there was a group of hungry military officers, and there were even a few young En Yangzhong who were about to leave his apprenticeship.
"China is too big, the difference is hundreds of thousands of miles. The people's feelings, customs and customs are all different, and even the people of the north can't understand what the southerners are saying. Such a big country definitely can't do much with just words, especially the Qing Dynasty. is the endless civil war... "
"There's no need to talk about the chaos between the three vassal lords and the founding of the country. Although the Kang Yongqian three generations boasted about how the world is unrivalled, but in fact, brothers, there have never been a stop to the peasant uprisings in the whole of Qing Dynasty, not to mention the chaos between the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom and the Twisted Army right in front of our eyes …"
"Not only that, there are signs of instability in the Northwest pars dorsalis. Including the Uighur turmoil in Xinjiang, it will take at most ten years for the Northwest of Qing Province to become completely unsettled. It seems that this war is unavoidable …"
Saying that, Xiao Letian took a sip of tea to moisturize his throat, "I have already said 'Three thousand years old major change' more than once, this is not just bragging, this is the true political situation in China …"
"How many forces are entangled in China these days? I can give everyone a good count, Manchu royal family is the entire Eight Banners, and this is the first power. With Weng Tonghe and the others as the representatives, the people of the Qing Liu faction are the second force, representing the conservative landowner class. Currently, these two powers belong to the absolute alliance, and their interests are the same. "
"The third force is the Xiang Army who suppressed the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. This group of Military groups who rose from the chaos, the core members are all ambitious and capable radical landowner class, right now, I still do not dare to say that they will rebel. At the very least, they already have plans to innovate."
"The fourth force is the failed peasant Rebellion. Don't just look at how Taiping Heavenly Kingdom and the Twisted Army have been suppressed, the source of the chaos has not been eliminated. Under the cruel rule of the Qing Dynasty, there will only be more and more revolts in the future.
In front of Xiao Letian, the military officers and students below the stage were concentrating on shorthand. They did not dare to miss a single word, because what Xiao Letian was teaching them right now was true politics, the Emperor's Heart Technique. It was a Dragon Slaying Art that not a single book would be able to teach them.
"The four forces are not finished yet. Mongolian, Uighurs, pars dorsalis and the Tibetan people all possess powers that cannot be underestimated. Although the Qing Dynasty has always been trying to rope them in, it's hard to fill in the hearts of people. Unstable phenomena have already occurred in the Four Clans and they will definitely not be able to say anything in the future … "
"Brothers, don't worry. This was not the most chaotic thing about it. The foreign forces were beginning to expand towards the heart of the world, and that was the scariest thing about it. "Britain is now the strongest country on Earth, with the British Empire in the limelight. They are the overlords of the entire ocean, and they control almost half of the sea trade on Earth …"
"The northern Russia has always been trying to expand towards the south. Their desire for the Port of Warm Water is unimaginable to you guys. The Crimean War Russia failed in 1853 and forced them to turn their gaze towards the east.
"There are also France, the United States, the future of Prussia, including the small island nation of Japan, the neighbor of the Qing Dynasty. In the years to come, there will be closer ties with China, and the situation will only become more chaotic and complicated …"
Xiao Letian patiently analyzed the current global situation to his army officials. Under Xiao Letian's explanation, the complicated political situation was as clear as a handprint.
This was the advantage of a Transcender. For the entire 19th century, the evolution of human society was just like a dense fog, but for Xiao Letian, this fog was simply transparent.
"Sir, you seem to have forgotten a force. What about us? Aren't we a force to be together? And now, who dares to look down on us after our successive victories? How should we walk on the road in the future? " Someone in the crowd suddenly asked.
"Mm, your question is very good …" Just as Xiao Letian was about to continue with his question, Dragon Lord suddenly opened the hidden door and quickly walked to Xiao Letian's side and whispered a few words.
All the officers present saw that Xiao Letian's eyes were growing round and round, his mouth was growing bigger and bigger, until he even had a duck egg stuck in his mouth.
"Everyone is free to discuss. We will discuss about this problem just now. Three days later, I will take the examination myself. Each of you, hand in a paper for me …" With that, Xiao Letian pushed open the secret door and left the secret club.
Just an hour ago, a group of mysterious guests came to the second floor of Letian Firm. When the guests had revealed their identities, Fan Lian's legs weakened and he knelt on the ground, almost having a heart attack.
This old man is Ceng Guofan, I came to Tanggu this time to see you, can you introduce me to you, old shopkeeper?
Ceng Guofan, the important official of the late Qing who changed the recent history of China, did not follow his army all the way north. Instead, he directly headed towards the other side of the Tanggu.
Wang Huaiyuan, Dragon Lord and more than ten bodyguards and cavalry surrounded Xiao Letian as they ran towards the ocean. Xiao Letian's head was filled with sweat from anxiety. "No, no, no. Seal off all three streets surrounding the bank and have all our soldiers on the streets. We can't leak any information about this meeting …"
"Wang Huaiyuan, send out all of your torture chambers. First, seal off the important passage from the Tanggu to the outside world, and no one can let go of any suspicious individuals … "We definitely cannot let the imperial government know that we have met. Only by showing our hostility to the outside world will the imperial government be able to spare us. At this critical juncture, we definitely cannot provoke the Qing Dynasty anymore …"
According to his plan, in the next few years, Xiao Letian would not form an alliance with any of the forces in the country. He wanted to make profits from chaos, and she wanted to strike a balance between all the forces in the country.
First, he would make a prototype of a navy and a marine. With Xiao Letian's current rate of earning money, it would not be a problem for him to create a navy that would not lose to Beiyang in five to ten years. The two Iron-armored Ship, Dingyuan and Zhenyuan, that were manufactured in Germany back then had only spent a total of three million silver taels.
Xiao Letian's plan was very simple. After spending ten million silver in just ten years, he would not believe that he would not be able to create a new North Ocean, let alone a North Ocean. At that time, he would even be able to create a deep blue fleet.
However, everything required time, so Xiao Letian had to buy time for peaceful development. If he continued to fight like this, he would not be able to accomplish anything.
"Oh, Ceng Guofan, Great Marshal Zeng! Aren't you intentionally blocking my way? What enmity do I have with you, what enmity! "
Just as Xiao Letian was thinking about this, a pile of haystacks beside the road suddenly exploded with a bang, and a ghostly figure rushed out from within as fast as lightning. Two eyes that seemed like real arrows shot towards Xiao Letian.
"Damned Demonic student of the West. You dare to insult the imperial government and hand over your life …"
"Who is it?" Protect Mister! " Dragon Lord swatted the horse back and he flew horizontally in front of attacker. He never thought that Dragon Lord would not be able to see it clearly, but his chest suddenly felt like it had been heated up by a hot iron, and attacker did not know why, but his chest suddenly got hit by attacker's palm.
"What a fast movement technique!" "Just who are you …" Dragon Lord felt sweetness in his throat and a mouthful of fresh blood rushed out, but he did not give up.
"Hehe, as expected of the Northern Dragon Lord, his skills are really handsome! "Unfortunately, you're still too young. If you want to defeat me, you should train for another thirty years …" As he spoke, a ghostly palm landed on his chest.
Dragon Lord's entire body was sent flying, he furiously spat out a mouthful of blood straight at the incoming attacker's face.
"I know who you are. This is a big secret handprint. Are you a protector of the Red Sect?" "You are the legendary ancestor of the Forbidden City …" Dragon Lord was severely injured, and after falling on the ground, he spat out two mouthfuls of blood.
"Protect Mr. Retreat, shoot freely!" Wang Huaiyuan took out his revolver and raised his hand to shoot three times. What was unbelievable was that the old ancestor with white hair and beard actually flashed with a strange identity and avoided all three bullets.
"What the hell is this? You can even dodge a spear? " Xiao Letian did not believe it, he raised his hand and shot three more times, following that, the surrounding guards also pulled Spencer's trigger, and the bullets flew straight towards the Old Ancestor.
The mysterious old man in the wilderness was not a single person. His body would easily twist and distort to avoid the fatal bullets, and from afar, he looked just like the science fiction movies that Xiao Letian saw in his previous life.
"Teacher, don't keep fighting, cough cough …" He wasn't dodging bullets, he was dodging people's thoughts … "This is a secret technique from the Underground. He can sense our attack direction and trajectory and his technique has already locked onto us …"
Xiao Letian was sweating profusely. "What the hell is this? Divine abilities? There are really divine abilities in this world? "Dammit, I better hurry up and run …" After saying that, Xiao Letian grabbed Dragon Lord with one hand and pushed him towards the horse with all his might.
Dragon Lord could not care about his injuries, with a flip of his hand, he threw Xiao Letian onto the horse's back. Immediately after, a ray of blade light flashed towards the horse's butt, and the horse immediately rushed towards Tanggu in pain.
"Mister, don't look back. The faster you leave, the better …" "Fire the flames, fire the emergency signal..."
