C808 dead point

In the middle of winter in Tongzhi's sixth year, a crazy woman had used a famous saying to shake the entire Great Qing, and had shaken the entire East Asia, and had also hit a dead end for Xiao Letian.

Using the swift telegraph network, Xiao Letian quickly found out the famous saying that the future Ci Xi spoke of, 'To measure Chinese resources, to form a nation's heart'. As long as it could preserve one's family's wealth, then they wouldn't care whether this Great Qing had a few pieces of meat less or not.

This was because, from the very start, the Manchu had always believed that the Central Plains was the property of the Han Chinese. They had never wanted to merge with the Central Plains and it was clear from their eyes that the Manchu had been preparing for the worst.

Ci Xi and the rest may not love this land, but Xiao Letian and the others could not.

When Ceng Guofan heard this, he called Jiu Shuai over to the study room. The two brothers locked the door and drank wine, and when they drank until the end, it was said that their wails shook the entire backyard, and those who heard it shed tears.

When Zuo Zongtang, who was far away in Xi'an, heard this, he was unable to control his emotions. Snow Night had actually brought the personal guards to attack the enemy lines, the indignant and grief-stricken Great Marshal activated his valiant force, and in the snowy night, he attacked three hundred times and killed three thousand prisoners.

After Weng Tonghe, who was far away from Ryukyu, heard these words, he stayed inside his room and meditated for two days without coming in. In the end, Zai Chun had to knock on the door to force his master to drink some water.

The capital was shaken, the people of Jiangnan were shocked, and the people of Qing were shocked. In the end, even the small countries of East Asia like Korea and Fusang were at a loss for words.

However, as diplomatic envoys, they knew that food should not look too ugly. Although they were a little excited in their hearts, they still had to show it on the surface, and they even hoped that the imperial court could calm down and live peacefully with the Ryukyu.

Although he had hit the fatal point on Xiao Letian and the others, it had also caused the prestige of the imperial government to fall to the freezing point. Those knowledgeable people in the public were shocked to discover that the barbarism in the hearts of the two hundred year old fusion Manchu had not been extinguished at all.

The Manhan family was a complete hoax.

Xiao Letian held an emergency meeting in the Prime Minister's Manor, and all of his important subjects gathered to discuss and respond. In the over 300 square meters of flower hall, cigar smoke was everywhere, and strong tea was poured into the white porcelain teacup. All of the precious items in the hall were half-dead from the smoke, but no one cared about those flowers anymore.

"Brothers …" I have to admit, Ci Xi's counterattack has hit our fatal points, we can't carry on with our counterattack plan anymore … " Xiao Letian's lonely voice caused a wave of discussion.

He raised his hand and pressed Xiao Letian as he continued to speak, "Shameless is the pass of the shameless, noble is the epitaph of the noble! "I truly believe that because we love this country, we love this land, so we are tying our hands and feet together to fight the enemy …"

"The owner of the war in the porcelain shop is destined to suffer the most, because these bottles and jars belong to him... But the thieves outside will not care, he will take up your family's property, and even your wife and children, to threaten you, the madman can really do things that would bring mutual destruction! "

"The Prime Minister's Manor has already conducted many weapon deductions these few days. Do you know what the most frightening consequence would be? "Let me tell you all …" Xiao Letian lifted the red silk on the sand table, and a huge East Asian sand table appeared in front of everyone.

"If the Ryukyu and the Qing Dynasty were to fall in discussion and talk about meeting in battle, it is very likely that the Qing Dynasty would repeat the strategy of pacifying the Taiping Army, which is to hire foreigners to fight …"

"Of course, the price for dealing with us will definitely be higher. Just giving us money is not enough, and it's very likely that we will continue to cut off territory! The Yangtze River Basin has always been part of the British's territory. If the rent in Shanghai expanded, and if there were an opening for the British in Nanjing, Wuhan, Chongqing, Jiujiang, Wuhu, Jingzhou and other places, I can foresee that the British would definitely send troops to intervene. "

"There's also Guangdong, which is close to Hong Kong. The British don't mind expanding their territory …"

"France, our enemy, is not to be outdone. Annan and Guangxi will definitely not give up. They will definitely seek the same benefits as the British in Jiangnan. Once these two tigers are put in, the economic lifeline of Jiangnan will no longer belong to us …"

"That's not the most scary thing. The English and French, including Prussia and the other countries, mostly used colonization as their ultimate goal. They don't want sovereignty over the country, but the Russian in the north has a huge appetite for the land …"

"If Xinjiang is cut off, then the land of Gan Shan will become the frontier. The complicated ethnic problems will make things even more chaotic here. Moreover, Xinjiang is a land area of 1.6 million square kilometers. Are we really willing to throw it away?" He is willing to part with the Qing Dynasty, and I, Xiao Letian, am not willing to part with it.

"The Western Regions! That's the disciple that we've been managing since the Han Dynasty. After thousands of years, he's finally been controlled by the Central Plains Civilization. If he were to lose him again, history wouldn't give us any more chances to take him back.

"Do you agree or not!" Xiao Letian's anger had aroused the anger of everyone present. Everyone shouted angrily, "If you don't agree, let's lead our troops to the north and destroy this empire!"

The group was in an uproar, but Xiao Hexin and Wang Huaiyuan were unusually calm. "Did you all forget about Master's previous teachings? The righteous name is in the hands of the Qing Dynasty, how can we touch it? "

"Don't forget, the Qing Dynasty and the Western Powers have signed a treaty. Although the treaty is a loss of power and disgrace to the country, it also proves that the Qing Dynasty is the legal government recognized by the Western Powers, the legal government recognized by tens of thousands of countries!"

"If we lead our troops to the north, that would be a rebellion, and that would also give the westerner an excuse to intervene militarily!"

"With Manchu's current military strength in the Beijing Belt, we can easily defeat him with our current military strength. It wouldn't be difficult for us to break through the Beijing's defenses and chase him out … But, is merely driving Manchu out of Beijing enough? "

"A little bit of war becomes a long time, we need each city to be gradually conquered, and the weaknesses of our forces will be completely exposed! "If we add all the recruits from the training camp s into the mix, there are only twenty thousand soldiers. We simply cannot control such a huge China …"

"The civil war, is just going to fall into a civil war again, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom has just been destroyed, does the citizens have to go through a bloody war? "Another few hundred million people?"

"Even if we defeat the Qing Dynasty in the end, how are we going to defeat the Western Alliance? If the main forces of the English and French Navy were to attack, how would our Ryukyu defend against them? How are we supposed to block the entire group of Russia from the north? "
