late Qing Dynasty

Chapter 40
"Hey, why did you choose such a fool with mediocre qualifications? It will take a year of the monkey to change the current situation!"

"It's all my fault that I was too sloppy at the time. It would be great if I could make a better choice..."

I stood outside, listening to the old monk's complaints, and felt baffled. I already feel very good about myself, okay?

The soliloquy inside was still going on, I coughed lightly, pushed the door and walked in, "Old monk, long time no see."

"Yeah, I haven't seen you for half a year, and I don't know if you have made any progress!"

The old monk obviously didn't care that I heard him speak ill of me behind my back. This old guy has a thicker skin than a city wall. One day, if I study body armor, I will definitely use his face as a reference.

"Old monk, to you, seeing each other for half a year, to me, it's just a daytime absence!"

I couldn't help complaining aloud, did this old man treat me as a god, it was really unreasonable.

"Okay, stop talking nonsense, hurry up and practice!" The old monk waved his hand impatiently, and those big golden characters appeared on the wall again.

In this way, I spent another six months with the old monk that I will never forget.

After the one-year training period expired, I obviously felt that my kung fu had improved by more than a little bit. With my current level, it should be no problem to deal with more than ten killers.

Early the next morning, Mei Shuang informed me that I would not go to the morning court. It is said that because the emperor was young, the morning court was changed to every three days. If there is any important matter, the ministers of the Military Aircraft Department will discuss it together.

"Has the Empress Dowager ordered Rong Lu to destroy the Taiping Army?" I asked casually.

Mei Shuang shook her head, "It is said that there is not yet, but after a while, my lord can go to the military aircraft department, and there should be results."

"Okay, let's have breakfast first." I stretched and prepared to go to the military plane in a while.

After all, if I can win the opportunity to suppress the Taiping rebellion this time, I will buy some more time for the country.

After breakfast, I changed into my court clothes and was about to rush to the military plane, but before I could go out, Prince Gong's servant came over to spread the word, saying that Prince Gong invited me to the mansion for a gathering.

Prince Gong came to me at this time, he must have changed his mind, I thought optimistically.

"Mei Shuang, prepare the car and go to Prince Gong's Mansion." I ordered Mei Shuang, and strode outside.

When I got to the gate, Mei Shuang had already prepared the carriage, and I took Han Yun with me to Prince Gong's Mansion.

When we got there, that little servant was still there, leading me and Han Yun to Prince Gong's study.

"Sixth Master called the subordinate to come over, but what are your orders?" I stood in the hall of the study, not intending to salute him.

Since I want to establish a democratic republic system, I must let them know that everyone is equal.

Prince Gong didn't seem to mind, and made a gesture of invitation to me, motioning me to sit on a chair beside me.

I took Han Yun's hand and let him sit on the chair first, and then I sat on the chair next to Han Yun.

Prince Gong looked at my movements, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, "Master Tang is very caring for his servants."

"People are born equal, and there is no distinction between high and low. In ancient times, Chen Sheng once said, 'As long as a strong man does not die, he will be famous, and he will be famous when he dies. Is there any kind for princes and generals?" For this sentence, I take it for granted."

When I say this, I am clearly telling Prince Gong that in my eyes, he is no different from other people.

"Your statement is new. I understand what you mean. Tell me, what else do you think about Daqing?"

Prince Gong didn't make too many comments or rebuttals to my high-spirited remarks. I knew in my heart that he acquiesced to my thoughts.

As a member of the royal family, he was able to achieve such a level, which is really beyond my expectations. From this point of view, in the past ten years, there is hope to implement Marxism-Leninism in China in advance.

"Not for the Qing Dynasty, but for the whole of China. If the foreigners can be defeated and the country's prestige can be established, is the prince willing to end the Qing Dynasty's rule?"

Yixin thought for a while, then nodded hesitantly, "If I can really defeat the foreigners completely, I don't mind changing to a more sensible monarch."

"What I'm waiting for is Liu Ye's words, but now it's not as simple as changing the monarch, but changing the entire country's system." I explained patiently.

If possible, I would like to reach a consensus with Yixin today. I can't wait to make my country stronger. For China now, every minute and every second is crucial.

"How to change?" Yixin looked at me curiously.

And what I see in his eyes is hope. Yes, he, like me, is extremely eager to change the destiny of the country and defeat those foreigners who repeatedly bully us.

"The current country is ruled by the Qing Dynasty. We first need to establish our own armed forces and political power, and our political power will be a completely new situation."

I feel like my blood is boiling with enthusiasm, as if the whole country will usher in the dawn tomorrow.

"Well, go back and write me a detailed plan, and I'll give you an answer after I read it carefully." Yi Xin said a little confused.

I nodded enthusiastically, "Yes, but our first step now is to introduce advanced technology and science. After all, science and technology are the primary productive forces. The sixth master has also drawn up a detailed plan. Let's discuss it together tomorrow." .”

"Okay, then at this time tomorrow, you can look for me in the palace again." Yi Xin seemed to have discovered a new land, her eyes were full of hope.

"Sixth Lord, please remember that no one is allowed to sleep soundly on the side of the couch! We can no longer make any compromises with foreigners. Even if we use all of our national strength in Greater China, we will definitely resist to the end."

"That's right, last time against the British and French allied forces, I tried my best to lead the battle, but no one spoke lightly and was powerless to save the situation. Now I am lucky to meet brother Tang and give me some advice. I feel an epiphany."

"Master Liu is polite. By the way, there is one more thing I hope Master Liu can help with."

"whats the matter?"

"This time I send troops to deal with the long-haired army, I hope the sixth master can recommend me to go there."

"why?"

"Liu Ye may also have heard that there are many capable people in the long-haired army, like Shi Dakai, who has his own views on leading troops and fighting. He is a rare handsome talent. I am going this time for our revolution. Lay out military reserves and recruit talents."

"But now that the long-haired army is in full swing, will they accept your surrender? And, even if you succeed in surrendering, what does the Queen Mother mean? Will she let those people go?"

"It is because of this that we have to discuss a plan as soon as possible to improve ourselves by learning from foreigners' skills."
