C762 telegraph network Meridian

To the Great Qing, the so-called regular army meant that the army could be deployed across provinces without their morale crumbling. Doing deep combat would not produce a strong sense of disgust, and coupled with the fact that they were proficient in new firearms, they were already considered elites among elites in the eyes of the officials of the imperial court.

What? You said you want to train a stronger army that can fight the foreigners? What do you want? Did he want to rebel? Such an army was a complete nightmare for the Manchu dynasty.

In fact, the higher ups of the Manchu were a little grateful to Yaqub and the Russian behind his back for bringing over 60,000 elites of the Xiangjun Group. Don't underestimate this number, this was already considered as the elite of the Xiangjun Group, for there to be 60,000 of them fighting against foreign forces during the time of the late Qing, it could already be considered as the elite of the entire Great Qing's army.

Towards such elites, the Manchu's attitude was very clear. Since they were not made by the imperial government, they could only guard against them and not raise them. Why did the Chinese need such an elite army?

Of course, Zuo Zongtang was still in the Gan Shan region trying to pacify the pars dorsalis's rebellion, the real history would only wait until he brought the coffin into the battlefield, which would be around 1875, and no one knew how many elites he could bring out from the Xiang Army.

Looking at the numbers, the number of people in Great Qing who could reach the fighting strength of one hundred thousand would be limited to one hundred thousand. On the other hand, Xiao Letian was prepared to help Zai Chun cultivate an army of eighty thousand in ten years, and this was already something that he had slightly exaggerated about before. Now that Zai Chun had opened his mouth to ask for a hundred thousand, even Xiao Letian, whose face was even thicker than the city walls, could not bear to listen anymore.

"Stop dreaming, pack up and prepare to return to Ryukyu. Your teacher is coming …"

When he mentioned Weng Tonghe, the little emperor's face immediately turned bitter. Thinking back to Imperial Advisor's strict teaching style and Xiao Letian's relaxed teaching style, he felt that his good days were about to come to an end.

Xiao Letian saw Zai Chun's hesitation and let out a long sigh. "Do you really think that going out to study the imperial government and not care about anything else? Your studies are related to the fate of the Empire, so how could they not be interested? "

"In this year, your performance has impressed the Beijing. You forced three hundred flagmen to come to the Ryukyu to train and form your own army, and afterwards, you made a Fusang Bank and gave four million silver to the imperial government. What would happen if no one noticed …"

"It was Master who gave me the idea to back me up. You can't just point it at me …"

Xiao Letian went up and smacked the little emperor's head, "Enough, stop talking rubbish, pack up those gifts I gave you. We'll leave in three days.

In the last three days, Xiao Letian and the Fu Sang Mu Manor continued their intensive discussion. This time, they were discussing about the construction of the telegraph line, and separated the two main lines, one going past the four nations and headed straight to the River Hu family.

Now, Xiao Letian's envoy had reached an agreement with North Korea, where the telegraph line could cross over from the inside of the country. The telegraph line could enter the black water of White Mountain, and the other one could head straight to the Tanggu.

At the same time, Ryukyu's underwater cable to Shanghai, Fuzhou and Hong Kong would be completed in a few months. At that time, Ryukyu would become a place where telegraph network would cross the pacific ocean.

To put it in half-jokingly, if the Ryukyu became the communication link between Asia and the North America, even the Western Powers would be reluctant to kill him here. Even if they had to start a war, they would have to be extremely cautious.

On one hand, their government could try out the telegraph line for free, and on the other hand, they could also get a share of the profits from the telegraph line every year.

When the nineteenth century's middle leaf telegraphic technique was just becoming popular, they sent out a telegraph message at an astonishing price. Those were all high-end goods that only officials and influential merchants could use, and the telegraph industry was entirely reliant on the technology of the new gold mine. Although the investment was huge, it was very easy to return.

And as long as the capital came back, all that was left was a minimal maintenance fee, and then a steady stream of money would be made until radio technology was replaced.

Not to mention that the Asian monarchs were brainwashed by Confucianism and had become stubborn. In fact, for those small empires, there was someone who was willing to give them such a profitable business. Before they could even enjoy it, the limited voices of opposition were instantly drowned out.

After two consecutive days of haggling,'s plan to distribute the benefits of the telegraph line was finally completed. With expectations of making money, the people happily toasted, and the Huizinfan Lord Matsudaira Katamori brought over the latest news, news that Xiao Letian was extremely satisfied with.

"Reporting to Your Majesty and the Prime Minister, there are ninjas from River Family who have brought the latest news …" Hidden Fog Kid has already been captured, and is currently on the way to Osaka City. There are a total of a thousand soldiers escorting them, ensuring that there are no mistakes! "

"Hmm? You caught it? Or alive? Good, good, good … I would like to see just why this loyal official of the Mu Clan hates me so much! "

"I, Xiao Letian, am able to see through the trajectory of this world, but I just can't understand what this crazy woman is thinking …"

Xiao Letian was not wrong. Ever since he had transcended worlds, he had been able to see through most of the things. The only exception was this Hidden Fog Kid.

The willingness to support human actions was just two words. One was benefit, and the other was righteousness! The word 'profit' was very easy to explain. People die for money, birds die for food. If one was hungry enough to rob and kill people for a single steamed bun, then there was no need to talk about other greater benefits.

In fact, righteousness was something that people followed in their hearts. For example, the warrior dao in the hearts of the White Tiger youth was a kind of righteousness. Perhaps many martial artists would say that the spirit of a martial artist was eternal, but they would subconsciously want to use the path of a martial artist to raise their own status. Increasing their income was actually also a type of benefit.

And the spirits of the White Tiger youth, who were willing to sacrifice everything for their master, had completely exceeded their own interests, relying solely on the noble spirit in their hearts to risk their lives.

These were the two ultimate keys to the mystery of the human heart. As long as one could understand these two rules, then there wouldn't be too many flaws in the analysis of everything in the world.

But this Hidden Fog Kid, Xiao Letian already completely did not understand. Other than calling her a madman, there was no other explanation.

"Why is she doing this? This is the biggest mystery in Xiao Letian's heart! "
