Hidden Dragon in Qing Dynasty

There was no power in this world that was willing to be destroyed, and the Qing Dynasty was the same as each and every one of them, hoping that the Great Qing would live for a long time.

Selfish! Extreme selfishness! If I were to spread my power within the group, then withdrawing it would be a dream. Let alone the fact that the empress dowager couldn't do it, even the Jade Emperor wouldn't be able to snatch the power from me.

All Manchu s knew that if they wanted the imperial government to be good, they needed to have a strong army to protect themselves. They wanted the imperial government to have a strong army too, but everyone wanted to be the master of this army. Everyone wanted power to belong to them.

There were many forces fighting each other, but no one could crush the other. No one had an absolute advantage. Since no one could obtain it, then let's destroy it together!

What I can't get, you can forget about having, these are the unspoken rules of the late Qing.

Actually, history had really given the Manchu several chances to turn things around. One was after the destruction of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, one was after the war with France, and the third was after the official formation of the Northern Ocean navy. These three historical opportunities were all bestowed by the heavens upon the Qing dynasty for great reforms.

If the Qing Dynasty had really put in great effort at that time to build a strong western army of about a hundred thousand people, then the history of China would have changed drastically.

With this army in his hands, even if Qing Dynasty met with a uprising by the Han people of the entire country, and even if they met with the Northern Channels, they would have the strength to protect themselves. At the very least, they could slowly retreat to the other side of the pass and defend their land of Dragon.

The three provinces beyond the border had enough land and resources to build a new nation, so the Chinese territories would have to be restored to the Ming dynasty's general territory.

However, the Eight Flag Military groups who was good at courting death did not seize this historic opportunity. Ever since Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, his military power had become weaker and weaker, and he had become more and more dependent on the Chinese.

After Xiang Army, there was Beiyang, and at the end of Beiyang, she relied on Yuan Shikai's Little Station New Army. The only exception was the Manchu himself. From the start of the Tongzhi Dynasty, the military had no foundation at all. There were a lot of people training in name, but not a single one could fight.

To take an off-topic example, the success of the Wuchang uprising in recent history was the first war to overthrow the Qing Dynasty, and also the first war for the founding of the Republic of China.

At that time, all the rebellion troops in Wu Chang were left by Zhang Zhidong to strengthen his own army, and the weapons used by the army and the revolutionary party were all supplied by the Han Yang Military Plant built by Zhang Zhidong during his reign.

In other words, in the history of the late Qing, perhaps when the Han Manipulation was still alive, there was no uprising or revolution, but all the revolutionary powers that came later on relied heavily on the legacies left behind by these ancestors. This was the important history and achievements of the Han Manipulation at that time.

On the other hand, on the Qing Dynasty's side, not only did they fail to accomplish anything, they had even thrown away the land where the ancestors were flourishing, and handed over ten million square kilometers of sovereignty to the Republic of China with Empress Dowager Long's abdication. In the end, the Manchu could only choose to merge with them passively.

There were no coincidences in history, there were also the reasons behind the Manchu's suicide. Of course, there were also the reasons behind the Chinese elites' cowardice, and their perseverance and decisiveness.

Actually, the Han Chinese had studied the profound art of stealing a country much more than the Manchu.

For example, there was the Young Fifth Master Yi. Although this person did not like to read, he had his advantages and that was to be able to ask.

Li Tuo, Yang Zhi and the Head Office's zingiberis radix, although their reputation was not big, they truly had something in their stomachs, the situation of the empire, let them carefully analyze it, it was indeed like that.

This was especially so for Li Tuo, who gave a thorough analysis of all the drawbacks of the internal restrictions of the imperial court. This person was extremely shrewd and could already be considered a bug.

Old Beijing to some very good at the industry has been eating a clear son of the people, like to call a bug word.

Those who love books are called bookworms, those who love flowers are called Flower Bug, those who love cars are called Car Bug … As the proverbs of old Beijing said, if this person was proficient, even if he couldn't become a dragon, he could still become an insect.

Li Tuo was definitely a political bug in the court. This brat had thoroughly understood the empress dowager's thoughts.

"Lord Fifth!" Just as Yang Zhi had said, one part of the reason for his retreat was to avoid the slander within the imperial court, and the other part was that he knew that other than him, no one else in the entire Xishan New Army could take it away from him … "

"Why? "Lord Fifth, you should be well aware that an army is not controlled by a golden seal, the water inside is very deep!"

"The army pays attention to factions, to teachers, to the upper and lower ranks …" He just wanted to fight with whoever gave him the money! What did the soldier know about politics? Is it not the immediate superior who wants them to do as he pleases? "

"Bighead soldiers, who are you looking for to kiss? Look at the Hauptverwaltungsgebaude on top of your head, because they directly gave you money, the friendship we had from drinking and eating all day long … "

"Who does Hauptverwaltungsgebaude want to kiss? Of course, it depends on the relationship between the commanders of each battalion, because their superiors paid them silver and silver, and they even gave them face … "

The Prince Kung is even not afraid of losing the golden seal, because the commanders, guards and even the Hauptverwaltungsgebaude below are all his direct descendants. He wrote a note that was as wide as two fingers, and it was even better than you giving the order with the golden seal … "

"Your Highness, please just watch. Tomorrow, empress dowagers will have to invite General Gui Zi to return to his original position. Maybe tonight, Sister-in-law will have to entertain Uncle on her own …"

After three cups of wine, Yi Cong seriously asked, "The two of you are my Xiao He and Zhang Liang. I am a little confused with the current situation, so please give me some pointers, how do you think the imperial government should handle this matter?"

Yang Zhi raised his triangular eyes and sneered, "What else can we do? Serve it up... Your Highness, don't look at how the imperial court is usually like a wolf or a tiger; even if they were to encounter a great matter that would collapse the heavens, they would still have to submit! "

"Now, the Hun Chun has made it clear that there will be a military mutiny. The Black Dragon River and Jilin Province are already his territories. The imperial government really doesn't have much card to play right now …"

"There are a total of three plans. One of them is to fight, the other is to mobilize the army north to level rebellion, the Xiang Army cannot be mobilized, we can't just let the Chinese army through, right? "Then, we can only use Yi's new army. Thirty thousand new troops can gather over a hundred and fifty thousand Eight Flags Soldier Eight Flags Soldier s from all over the place to announce that we have three hundred thousand troops …"

"Going all the way north and exterminating the Hun Chun, this is the most straightforward method to cut the weeds at their roots, but it's very difficult!"

Yi Cong's face was ashen as he asked respectfully. "Where are the difficulties?"
