Xiao Letian's pupils constricted as he thought to himself, What a good kid! Is this the consensus of your Rangers? His heart was truly wild! Was this going to be a foregone conclusion?
Without waiting for the leader to speak, Luo Huo shook his head first, "No, no, there's something wrong with this plan of yours … "In the history of reading and reading, there is a lot of logic. Since ancient times, China has always dominated the south, and there are very few in the south. According to Jiangnan, this was the work of the short lifespan empires …"
"Where's Da Ming? Da Ming was sent from the south to the north, and at that time, the north was the Mongolian. Xiang Ying retorted.
At this time, Sima Yun, who didn't like to talk much, also joined the debate, "Da Ming, that was a special case. The Yuan Dynasty was the Central Plains between Song and Ming, but the way it ruled was completely different from the real Central Plains Empire …"
"On the surface, he also uses a few Confucian talents, but the proportion is very small. The center of the Yuan power is filled with religious figures and foreign races from the Middle East. Even European adventurer can be seen in the imperial court …"
"The Yuan Dynasty was only a true travelling dynasty. The local forces of the Central Plains basically didn't have much use and couldn't participate in policy making at all. At that time, the Yuan Dynasty treated the Central Plains as a pasture and damaged the farming civilization!"
"By the time the Ming Taizu's group of volunteers took to the skies, the northern part of the Yangtze River was basically over a thousand miles long. The population was extremely sparse, so the resources were exhausted. Once the southern economic lifeline was broken, it was inevitable that they would retreat!"
"However, this is not the case for the Great Qing Empire. Right now, the area where the Great Qing is most severely injured is Jiangnan. Instead, the population and economy of the North have been protected. This is completely different from the last year of the Yuan Dynasty!"
Sima Yun's analysis made everyone present nod their heads, but Xiang Ying remained stubborn, "That is ancient times! Not modern! "In ancient times, when the people of the north were sturdy and had strategic weapons, they were the cavalry regiment. Furthermore, the terrain was flat, making it easy for the armies to transfer to another battlefield."
"That's why the south has been at a disadvantage against the north, but it's different now! The popularity of firearms has already caused the decline of the cavalry. A farmer who trains in fire shooting for three months can easily kill a cavalry soldier who has trained for three years! "
This is the nemesis of cavalry, how did oculi bridge kill Seng Gelinqin? "Has everyone forgotten …"
"More importantly, we have the navy! This is a brand-new army that the Qing Dynasty had never owned before. This is not an ancient navy, this is a real navy! "
"As long as we have control of the sea, our cannons can bombard all the way from the Liaoning Peninsula to the mouth of the Yangtze River. All the ports in northern China are covered by our cannons, and our marines can turn the entire coastal areas of Liaoning, Zhi Li, and Shandong upside down!"
"With this kind of attack power, what kind of waves can the Qing Dynasty create? "That's why your concerns are unfounded. I insist on my opinion that after Europe, we should immediately cede to Jiangnan!"
The atmosphere of the debate became more and more heated, even General Liang Kun who was not very good at strategy analysis said, "Is it as simple as cutting down Jiangnan? What about Ceng Titou? Who would agree to that? "
It seemed that Xiang Ying had already deduced it countless times when he was dealing with the Rangers, and immediately answered the many questions that were in his mind.
"That's right, Great Marshal Zeng Ceng Guofan would never rebel against the Qing Dynasty, but … But how many years was Great Marshal Zeng going to live? Director Wang, how long do you still have to wait for Ceng Guofan to die? "
Wang Huaiyuan did not answer, but silently played with the pen in his hand.
Xiang Ying received the answer he wanted and smiled, "The health problem of Great Marshal Zeng is not a secret in Jiangnan. According to intelligence, the current Commander is like a dried up oil lamp, and there will be a day when the power of Xiang Army falls apart!"
"The elites that Zuo Zongtang had brought away are now heading towards Xinjiang in Gansu. They travelled thousands of miles without affecting Jiangnan!"
"Jiu Shuai is an ambitious person, his loyalty to the Qing Dynasty is questionable! Li Hongzhang already has his own independent door of operations, so the Qing Dynasty naturally has their own plans for placing him in Northern Su and Shandong! "
"As for the rest of the generals, they are nothing to worry about, absolutely nothing at all!" Those who go along with the flow will only die! "
Xiao Letian was stunned, he realized that today, Xiang Ying was definitely the villain of Su Qin Zhangyi. Fortunately, everyone present today was a great political figure, if it was a normal level official, Xiang Ying would probably have already convinced and instigated them.
The most obvious ones were Yepingtai and Bing Tai Lang. They were both from Japanese samurai and had never been educated in the civil politics of China. They were not good at strategic analysis.
Adding on the fact that the Martial Arts Dao was very aggressive to begin with, once they heard Xiang Ying's very provocative words, their eyes lit up with excitement.
Especially Bing Tai, he held onto the Katana's scabbard and said excitedly. Yo! "Makes sense, very much so!"
"Father, Xiang Ying is right! And he forgot to say something... "According to Jiangnan, we have to wait until we achieve complete victory on the European battlefield!"
"At that time, my lord father will be the only man in Asia who will defeat the great powers of Europe! Your reputation will be as high as the sun! "At that time, who in Jiangnan would be unconvinced?"
"Xiang Army is also a human, they also admire the strong! When you return to Asia with the light of the European victory... You are the worthy king of Asia! "
"Long live! "Board load!" Xiao Bingtailang stood up in excitement, clenching his fists, he cheered.
Xiao Letian was speechless, what nonsense was this, I was analyzing the strategy and tactics against Britain, why did it suddenly change so abruptly?
And the King of Asia? I'll be the king of the universe!
However, this kind of situation was very common at the highest level of the Chinese secret meeting. In fact, this atmosphere was also brought up by Xiao Letian, and he was called Brainstorm.
He encouraged everyone to make wild assumptions, and then carefully took the evidence. In the end, there was an intense debate. It didn't matter who was in the right or wrong, but the key point was that in this kind of thinking, there would definitely be sparks of wisdom flashing.
It was precisely because of this that Xiao Letian did not interrupt Xiang Ying this entire time.
However, towards Bing Tai's flattery, Xiao Letian laughed and shook his head, "Nonsense … Alright, Director Wang, you still haven't said anything, say a few words! "
