Hidden Dragon in Qing Dynasty

In the Tanggu City, the Qing San Ye was definitely a different type of city. In this city which was filled with an industrial aura and a rich western feeling, there were not many people in sedans with long braids and horses coats.

The people had changed, the people of the Great Qing had to follow the customs of the land and the countryside. Many merchants of Qingguo Country who came here to do business would hide their braids and put on suits or Western style casual clothes, with a Western gold pocket watch in their chest pocket and long chains tied to their buttons. It was a new trend once they walked into the streets.

Only a businessman dressed like that could make a living, make others think highly of him in their relationships, and make people willing to do business with you. The light carriage was equipped with several sets of spring shock absorbers. The exquisite bearings lowered the friction, and only needed a horse to run quickly and steadily.

Who still used a sedan chair these days? It was small and stuffy, and the four sedan bearers were tired to the point that they couldn't run very fast. It was hot in the summer and cold from the winter, it was no different from a prison.

The most important thing was that the Prime Minister had said before that no one rode a palanquin in China since ancient times. Civil officials riding a horse was the right path, and only when society was in decline would people directly humiliate their own kind.

If you want to use an oxcart or a horse as transportation equipment, no one would care about you even if you rode a mule all over the street! You have to ride on someone's back? Are you noble?

The prime minister's thoughts could influence the values of the Chinese people as a whole. People thought about it and it made sense. The carriage was much faster than the sedan chair, so why did they use it to enslave the sedan bearers? Using oppression to show his nobility?

They had to use a palanquin instead of a fast and comfortable horse carriage. This was actually a very concrete sign of society backing down.

Riding on a horse carriage, the atmosphere in the region controlled by the Chinese quickly spread. The Tanggu was one of the most important bases of Xiao Letian's territory, only second to the Ryukyu.

However, even though Xiao Letian could trick others, he couldn't fool his first uncle. He was also the first comrade that he met in this world, the Qing San Ye.

In just a few short years, the Qing San Ye who was in high spirits at the mountain path of Yi County had aged quite a bit. That jet-black and glossy long braid was actually mixed with a few strands of hair, and the wrinkles at the corner of her eyes also increased.

From the south of the river to travel to the Tanggu, only two days after they disembarked from the ship, shocking news arrived from the far east. The Hun Chun carried the secret decree of the Tongzhi emperor as she triggered the Black Dragon River Army and seized T?pchin to control the military and political power of the two provinces.

Soon after, Xiang Shaolong's brave army had a great victory over the Cossack's reinforcements, and swept away the last bit of Sha Russia's military strength. The news spread across the entire Tanggu like wildfire. The excited Chinese citizens walked onto the streets with lanterns and lanterns, gathering into a river of light in the dark night.

Flames rose up above the sea, and multicolored flames exploded in the sky. Everyone could clearly see everything within a radius of ten miles.

The people's hearts on this land had already drifted further and further away from the Qing Dynasty. 90% of the people on the streets had no hair braids, everyone was shouting "Long live the prime minister, long live the Chinese people!"

At that time, the Qing San Ye personally saw the dark and gloomy house of the The yamen of the same knowledge that the Great Qing had set up. The Tanggu knew that Zhou Mingkui was probably the most awkward official in the entire Great Qing Dynasty, his daily job was to sit at the yamen and do nothing, and every month, the Special Zone would give him a sum of money, so he left a portion of it to be given to the yamen runners as payment, while the other portion was to be handed over to the treasury.

That was simply a humiliation. In the eyes of the special administrative region, the official yamen of Great Qing had already been reduced to a group of beggars' residences.

However, given the situation, who would dare to say a word of disapproval? Although this place was the land of the Great Qing and the authority was still in the hands of the imperial government, they had already lost all authority here.

Before the Chinese Statute Book was released, San Ye more or less knew a little about Xiao Letian. If worst comes to worst, it would just be Ryukyu, Fu Sang and Nan Yang seizing a bit of territory, Xiao Letian being called the king, and he wouldn't have as much appetite as Da Qing.

In fact, at that time, the Qing San Ye and many other Manchu had already mentally prepared themselves, preparing themselves to be the next King by forcing Shang Tai to step down from the throne.

Afterwards, Fu Sang had a few more big names that bowed down to him and left his control, including many small nations in Nan Yang that were also conquered by Xiao Letian.

Maybe in the end when Xiao Letian's wings became hard, he would be able to separate himself from the Great Qing's system. He would be able to be independent, and might even be called an emperor or something like that … They knew that Xiao Letian would be able to do these things in the end.

But as long as Xiao Letian did not touch any of the mountains and rivers of Great Qing, or perhaps a little less, then he would do whatever it took … We will endure if he thinks he is the emperor, who told us there is no boat in Great Qing that can't defeat him? Of course, the Army couldn't beat him either.

It was precisely because of this kind of grand strategy that the imperial government hated and hated Xiao Letian so much that they wished to hack him into pieces. However, in terms of strategy, Xiao Letian could not really be considered a life and death enemy, and his threat level was even higher than Ceng Guofan's.

Furthermore, everything had changed tremendously from the moment the Chinese Statute Book was announced!

Firstly, they could not understand what the Chinese Statute Book was trying to do. He said that a gentleman should establish a constitution, but not a single monarch appeared. He said that the United States had a system of government, but it still retained the titles of noblemen and dukes.

Great Qing Dynasty was also the vice minister of Head Office. In fact, he was the one who was touring Jiangnan and Ryukyu, and the reason for his mission was to carefully study this Chinese system.

The other thing that they were afraid of was the sudden rise of the Bravehearts. Although the Far East had been ceded to Sha Russia, the sudden appearance of the Bravehearts had overturned the previous judgement of the imperial government.

Xiao Letian did not give up on the continent to manage the islands. In fact, he was also looking for opportunities to infiltrate into the continent. In this war, Xiao Letian directly controlled over a million square kilometers of land in the Far East.

This change in strategy caused the entire group of Manchu to be at a loss of what to do, especially Qing San Ye, the reformist group from Manchu. They opened their eyes to see the world's elite people, and could clearly feel Xiao Letian's overbearing attack.

The relationship between brothers had already started to crack, and this Tanggu District in front of him was no longer the hope of clearing things up. In his eyes, the current Tanggu was just a springboard for Xiao Letian's schemes.

"Xiao Letian! Xiao Letian... You're playing with fire! Do you really want to become enemies with my Manchu? Don't forget that you are also the young master of our Manchu! "

"Go back. As long as you can turn back, how can the imperial government treat you unfairly?" As long as you are loyal to protecting the Great Qing, it will not be difficult to even bestow upon you the title of Iron Hat King! You have to be that lousy Prime Minister, you're really sick... "
