Hidden Dragon in Qing Dynasty

The weather was getting colder and colder, and the waves of the sea had already been frozen over. Not only was it a matter of luck, even the seagoing company had entered a period of depression. The Chinese merchants were now preparing to pass the new year, and the Western merchants would not choose to come to the cold Bohai Bay. The Tanggu City had finally quieted down.

Everyone could rest, but Xiao Letian was not. He, along with Qing San Ye, Mike, Ma Xiu and the others were currently riding on horses in the wilderness.

"The first thing to do in the Industrial Zones is to make steel, we have sea transportation and iron ore, and we have coal mines and iron ores to the north, which is enough for us to do. In any case, the Carnegie Family started our career in the steel industry, so it shouldn't be difficult for us to build a small scale iron mill …"

"When we have enough steel, we will build machinery factories and weapons factories. In the future, the world's arms trade will be the most profitable. As long as we can guarantee quality and production, we can sell you everything we produce …"

Xiao Letian's face was flushed red by the cold wind, but the fire in his heart was burning hotter and hotter. To be able to witness the rise of a heavy industry base in China in 1865, what an exciting event.

Xiao Letian had already thought about it long ago. Tanggu Industrial Special Zone would build a huge fortress, and this would be the first stronghold of his new army. The high walls, the thick barbed wire, the criss-crossing traffic canals that ran through the new army, the whole district was a military camp.

It didn't matter if the Qing Dynasty was on stage or Ceng Titou was rebelling, whether it was a republican democracy or a monarch's constitution, they all had to be careful of my Gun Cannons and the hundred battle elites. As long as one had the money and the army, he could control the history of China. No matter what happened, Xiao Letian had the right to speak.

Seeing Xiao Letian's excited expression, Dragon Lord secretly sighed, and decided to give him a warning. He poured a spoonful of cold water over Xiao Letian, "My lord, Beijing is going to be in a mess today, why are you acting like nothing happened? "How about Huaiyuan send some more men over there?"

Xiao Letian rolled his eyes at him, "When did I disappoint you? Since you've chosen to follow me, you must have absolute trust in me. Do you think such a small matter like this can stop me? "Don't say I look down on them, they'll cry to death in less than three days …"

Qing San Ye immediately rode his horse over and asked, "What do you mean? What happened to Beijing? "

"Hehe, if the plan hasn't changed, then the capital should be full of curses right now. Countless raising child and Elementary Scholars have gathered together to attack Prince Gong's Mansion before trying to pressure the imperial government to kill me. "It seems like I've already heard the sound of rising tides. The curses are like a tide …"

Fu Qing said embarrassedly: "Bro, just give in and don't fight with these scholars, it's fine even if you lower your head …"

"Nonsense!" Am I going to fight them? They're the ones who keep bullying me, okay? How am I supposed to give in to rumors about slandering people, then hiring assassins to incite local gentry to make me my enemy? They can't even kill me if they want to!

"Then what do you want to do? You can't kill people again, can you? In the past, you still had a reason to defend yourself when killing someone, but now that they're cursing, are you going to use a knife? "

The corner of Xiao Letian's mouth rose, "Oh! I understand. San Ye doesn't believe that I can get rid of this mess. Do you think I will only use violence? Tsk, this time, I'll let you open your eyes. The way a scholar plays with a soft knife, I can still play with it … "Come on, let's go home. I'll let you have a look at a Western cuisine!"

Just as Xiao Letian was bringing the Third Master home to have a look, the Chun Sanshiniang in the capital took action.

"According to last night's plan, all of the Discipline Hall's members will be dispatched to let this group of scholars know how powerful we are!" "Put a carrier pigeon in there..." With the order given, the pigeon house hidden inside the house immediately released dozens of carrier pigeons, carrying the secret instructions as they flew towards their respective targets.

The spies who were disguised as the "Five Paths Eight Movements" were running around the streets like crazy. One by one, the secret strongholds started to move, and Xiao Letian's forces finally started to counterattack.

People were sneaking around at almost every intersection in the capital. They started to brush the walls with paste pails. When they turned their heads, they found that no one was around. The newspaper stuck to the wall.

The black character on the white ground was a large injustice word. It could be seen clearly from far away. Not long after, a large group of people quickly gathered around after noticing the sudden announcement.

"Oh god? This, this, this... "Isn't this too outrageous …"

The spies appeared and disappeared in the streets of the alleyway. Thousands of headlines were posted all at once. This was not the end. While the long lines of people were protesting, experts of Qing Gong flew up to the rooftops. They waved their hands and a large number of flyers fluttered in the wind.

"Take it out for the citizens of Beijing to see, don't let these scammers deceive you, listen to Xiao Letian's injustice!"

Snowflake like flyers flew in the sky. These scholars had even forgotten to shout their slogans. With a "pa" sound, a flyer was slapped on his face.

Pulling off the leaflet, he took a closer look.'s eyes were opened wider than a copper bell, "Shameless, this is really too shameless.

The flyer was printed in a very simple manner. The words on it didn't have the slightest hint of beauty, but it definitely allowed you to see it clearly. Furthermore, the words were simple and childish to the extreme. It was just like an old farmer who had never read a book and was complaining about his wrongdoings.

"Xiao Letian's seven big questions? "What is this thing …"

That's right, the flyer was filled with all of Xiao Letian's questions to the imperial government and his questions to the art world.

"First question: why would Xiao Letian bother to conduct an assassination mission by the imperial government? Sun Sanhu brought the imperial edict and identity badge, and secretly deployed troops to attack Letian Firm, asking, where is the national law? "

"Second question: Is the The yamen of the same knowledge s the yamen of the imperial government, and Tongzhi is not appointed by the imperial government? If that was the case, why did Sun Sanhu's Death Soldiers carry explosives and destroyed dozens of houses? Are they all traitors too? "

"Third question: Since ancient times, calamities have never affected my wife and children, even if I, Xiao Letian, were to be killed, I will not be beheaded by the entire family. May I ask why Jiao Si and Sun Sanhu poisoned my family members? My concubine's life is in danger, and even if she was cured, she wouldn't be able to give birth. May I ask, why does the imperial government want to eliminate the descendants of my Xiao family? "

"Fourth question: Did the court say that I had a secret army? Letian Firm is the wealthiest man in Tanggu, taking in and taking in over ten million taels of silver per year, is there anyone willing to serve in Letian Firm with two hundred guards? "Is the imperial court's law forbidding the raising of foreign guards?"

"The fifth question: Sun Sanhu and his soldiers have already confessed, the reason why he mobilized his troops is not only to deal with me, but also to take advantage of the chaos and loot the wealth. Where does a small Sun Sanhu get the guts? "

"Sixth question: The Green Battalion's assault at night had scared all the foreigners in the port. Now that the foreign soldiers have landed, the armed sailors have already sealed the streets, and the foreigners are even shouting to take over the security in Tanggu Port. Right now, it's me, Xiao Letian, who is having a difficult time dealing with this situation, that did not allow the foreigners to make a big deal out of it. May I know if I, Xiao Letian, can interfere with this matter in the future? "

"The seventh question: The court tried to rob me of my property, wanted my life, and even tried to poison my family in an attempt to exterminate me. After doing all these, you still dare to blabber on and on about how I, Xiao Letian, am going to rebel? And it even used 200 guards to rebel! I, Xiao Letian, asked the entire people of the Qing Dynasty, where is the logic? Where does morality lie? "

Xiao Letian's Seven Questions, Director Zero, poured out all the grievances in his heart. His words were full of grievance and injustice, and every spectator was flabbergasted.

"Hahaha, Xiao Letian is being unreasonable, he is already afraid of us, what use is such a childish crying out for grievance? Students, in the same year, Xiao Letian finally admitted defeat … "

After all, these scholars were experts at bullying the weak and afraid of the strong. In fact, they were most afraid of Xiao Letian taking action. If those soldiers tried to kill them in the dark of the night, they would be scared to death.

But now, Xiao Letian had chosen to debate with the scholars. This was the traditional position of the scholars that had existed for thousands of years. They were the newspapers, the television and the Internet of the Great Qing. Their throats controlled the eyes and ears of all the people.

What did the Confucian Scholars rely on to control China for thousands of years? What he relied on was the control of public opinion, as well as the penetration of the human heart. From the high officials of the imperial court to the local gentry and even the Elementary Scholars, they formed an enormous public opinion net. These huge networks, which relied on relationships between teachers and students, schoolmates, and the same year, could instantly filter out statements that were beneficial to them and imbue them with information to every single commoner.

They said who was the king. In the late Qing era, where compulsory education was not widespread, they were the core force in controlling the hearts of the people.

Now, Xiao Letian actually dared to distribute flyers? He actually chose to reason with these scholars? This was truly using one's own weaknesses to attack someone's strengths. All the scholars on the street were jumping with excitement. Even the sound of the horn sounded louder than before.

At this time, none of the Confucian Scholars could understand Xiao Letian's plan to deal with this situation, and they continued to analyze the situation using their old eyes.

Time passed minute after minute, and the cries of the raising child were still resounding throughout the sky. However, the flyers that were flying in the sky like snowflakes did not seem like they wanted to stop at all. Everyone knew that they were Xiao Letian's subordinates. However, none of the scholars and the soldiers who were maintaining order paid any attention to them.

After all, they were only throwing a few pieces of paper, and in the end, it was a crime against the environment. They were already in such a mess, so no one was willing to compete with them.

But he never would have thought that the change would happen without a sound. There were quite a few literate citizens in the capital city. People gathered up the leaflets and looked at them while whispering to each other.

"Take a good look, this is the flyer that Xiao Letian threw. The Seven Great Asks are almost as ruthless as when they first created the country, do you think it's true?"

"Tsk, tsk, it's really hard to say. I just don't know if Xiao Letian has any evidence right now, but if there is, then it's really the imperial court's fault. It's going to kill off the Xiao family's descendant, this is way too poisonous …"

"Look, look again. The water in here is really too deep. What we say is reasonable and reasonable, but we are all just listening to the wind is like rain." "I guess I see through it. We really can't get involved in this …"

There would always be a portion of people in the crowd who were good at thinking. They weren't likely to fall into a frenzy, so even if they were temporarily trapped, they would quickly jump out and analyze the situation. It was also because this group of people realized that Xiao Letian's technique was not ordinary.

"Tell me, how did Xiao Letian get so many flyers all of a sudden? "Just how rich is he? If the entire Qing Dynasty were to scatter this matter with their lives on the line, then this matter will really blow up …"
