Hidden Dragon in Qing Dynasty

C1137 Shocking Secret

"Wuwuwu …" "Don't say anymore, big brother, don't say anymore …" Hearing his father's evaluation of him, Jiu Shuai cried profusely. She carefully thought back on her life, and she realized that it was exactly the same as her father's evaluation of her.

Why did he want to rebel? Did he really want to make his elder brother the emperor and then become a prince himself? Or perhaps it was like the stories of the Northern Song Dynasty, where brothers sat on the Dragon Throne instead?

In reality, it wasn't. Ceng Guoquan was a tiger general and a pretty good politician, but he was definitely not someone who could rule over the land. Just from the fact that he liked to take the lead in everything, it was obvious.

He was familiar with the way to the Residence of Duke Gong in the capital. Tanggu Xiao Letian did business and he, a dignified Jiu Shuai, actually went and had a secret meeting with Xiao Letian, and was even taken advantage of by Xiao Letian in the end.

In the family, he was always encouraging his brother to take another step up, but he was the worst at it. Even the way he led his subordinates showed off his edge.

Southern Hawk North Dragon, how resounding was its name? It was the number one expert in the north, Dragon Lord, and the strongest expert in the south, Old Hawk. In fact, it was pure bullshit. Other than that, the old farmer by Ceng Guofan's side, was able to suppress the eagle and his disciples by himself.

But look at this old farmer, other than Ceng Guofan, no one knew his name. This was a real expert's demeanor.

After all that, it was still Ceng Guofan's father who gave the most appropriate comments. Ol 'Nine was a weirdo to begin with, so the words' less the strange qi 'was too fitting. This kind of person was obviously in the imperial court, but he was always full of the heroic spirit.

Come to think of it, breaking into Jinling did not mean that many people were killed. Why did they have to massacre the entire city? Actually, it was related to Jiu Shuai's character, to vent out his anger! If you kill my family, I will take revenge on your ten families.

Less Qi, these four words were absolutely correct.

was also in his forties, and was considered to be part of the older generation in the ancient times. The little bit of strange feeling in his heart was broken by his brother, and was instantly burned like smoke on a balloon, broken with a bang.

"Big brother, stop it!" Please don't say it... Can't I listen to you? "However, I have a condition. You must tell me the truth behind it. You must be hiding something from me!"

"I often tried to advise you to take a step forward in the past, but you would always laugh it off and just wave your hand and ignore me …" But today you're so heartless to deal with me, you must be hiding something from me! "Tell me, why can't I be accepted as a brother for whatever reason?"

The statue-like old man retreated like the wind, and immediately after, the security perimeter outside the study room expanded by fifty meters, and no one could hear what the two brothers inside the study room were saying.

Cough cough cough … Ceng Guofan coughed a few more times before he panted and said, "Six years ago... A few years ago, an English secret envoy came from Shanghai and brought a secret electric from the British Prime Minister! "

"It's not Count de Beer, it's not him … But the future successor, Benjamin! "

"The British have a secret message?" Jiu Shuai couldn't believe his own ears but his brother's expression couldn't be doubted.

"The news that the emissary brought me shocked me. He said that the British Government had reevaluated the situation in East Asia and they believed that the Qing Dynasty was no longer able to take control of the situation in Asia. Not only were they unable to control the momentum of the expansion of the East Russian, they were unable to even control the Subordinate States that Xiao Letian was leading …"

"This kind of government is disappointing the British. They even doubt the Qing Government has the ability to protect the interests of the British in China! "So they came to me to negotiate …"

"Hahaha …" You really think highly of me, Ceng Guofan! Britain has said that as long as I, Ceng Guofan, nod my head, they will immediately launch an 80 million pound military assistance plan to help me become the emperor of the Chinese … Moreover, eighty million is just the starting fund. They will increase it later, and maybe even increase it to one hundred and thirty million pounds! "

"Hiss …" Jiu Shuai gasped, "Oh my god! The English have a lot of money? Could it be that you are lying to us with your white teeth? "

Ceng Guofan waved his hand, "Those aren't important. I didn't even consider the authenticity of the military assistance … Because there are conditions for British support! "

"First, we must renounce our claim to Tibet and recognize its independence! Secondly, we have to recognize Xinjiang's secession from the Qing Dynasty, of course, we have to establish a pro-British and Chinese regime... "Pfft, it's f * cking farting!"

"Third, help us drive the Manchu out of seclusion and restore the Han Family's original border with the Great Wall. They are even willing to help us break the alliance between the Manchu and Mongolian …"

"Now you know what happened? And as far as I know, the British Army over there in India has already started to form the twenty-fourth Tibetan expedition team. Do you still not understand their intentions? "

With a loud bang, Jiu Shuai smashed his fist on the tea table, "Bastard! Are they trying to turn our country into the Northern Song Dynasty? "Shameless, too shameless …"

Ceng Guofan self-deprecatingly shook his head, "Hehe, I think I'm a bit stronger than the Northern Song Province! We should still be able to get the Riverbed, the Sixteen Yanyun Prefectures, and the Qingtang Prefecture … But what good was that? Without those vast strategic buffer areas, our richest Central Plains could really become a peeled egg! "Cough, cough, cough …"

The two brothers were already over a hundred years old, so they didn't need to hit the drum anymore. If it was before, when Ceng Guofan had analyzed them, he would take it as a joke.

It turns out that all of the foreign races in this world are determined to kill me and not to die. The world is no longer an era where one can just fight to the death by closing up their doors.

"Forget it, forget it!" Elder brother, you can do whatever you want, what do you want me to do? "

"Follow me north!" I will enter the capital, and you can rule Henan … "Don't think that I'm monitoring you. That's not the prison you're thinking of …"

"When I entered the capital, one reason was to ease the peace of the imperial government. The other reason was that we had to have some vanguard unit in the north! The imperial government is watching me, but aren't I also monitoring their Manchu? "

"I have to be on guard!" Once those Manchu can't survive any longer, they will very likely sell our Chinese possessions to please the foreigners … She had to be on guard, she had to be on guard … Cough, cough, cough! " After saying that, Ceng Guofan once again started coughing intensely, this time even the old farmer outside the cordon line could not help but rush in.

"Big Brother …" "Big brother!" Jiu Shuai desperately slapped on Ceng Guofan's back, but Ceng Guofan grabbed onto his hand and gasped for breath, "I don't even have a few years of life left … I don't know how long I'll be able to protect my vital energy … We Chinese have nurtured this true qi for thousands of years! I can't scatter now … We can't disperse! "

"Big brother!" Wu wu wu … I'll listen to you. This is what we'll do in this life … So be it! "
