Hidden Dragon in Qing Dynasty

In this life, everything depended on acting. As expected, Zai Chun deeply comprehended three of them.

He was very clear about his master's skills and he also understood how terrifying the CIA was, so he did not dare to hide any secret negotiations between him and the UK. He knew that these were not secrets for Xiao Letian.

But at the same time, he was also very clear that his master did not know that he already found out about the secret that the King Yi was still alive due to luck.

This was the most important point. As long as Xiao Letian believed that the secrets of the King Yi had not been leaked, then the conflict between Zai Chun and him was not a matter of life and death.

At least, that was what the Tongzhi Emperor thought. As long as it was a conflict arising from the unequal distribution of benefits, then it could be resolved.

On this point, the Qing Dynasty did not have any room for negotiation. The hatred caused by the deaths of over a hundred million people was not something that humans could resolve, even the Saints could not.

Right now, Zai Chun was betting that Xiao Letian didn't know, so he was still able to muddle his way through. Hearing his master's resentful reply, he quickly kneeled on the ground and pretended to be pitiful.

"Master, I am not the only one who knows nothing about this place. What do you think the Chinese army only has thirty to forty thousand soldiers to do?"

"Of course I know their fighting strength is high, but no matter how high it is, how much control can they have over their territory? In the future, when I am in charge of personal affairs, how much influence can you control just by relying on yourself? "

"It's not bad that thirty to forty thousand people can control a Northerner. What do you want me to do in the other provinces?"

"All along, you have taught me to recognize reality, to not be too ambitious, to eat mouthful after mouthful, to do things one by one … Surviving is more important than anything, but today, when I really did do as you say, how can you not understand your disciple? "

Zai Chun started to have fun, his tears and snot flying all over his sleeves, "I …" What can I do? People have to lower their heads under the low eaves... Now that we are living in an Englishman's land, how can I not give Benjamin face? "

"You know it yourself, Benjamin is full of contradictions with you, he wants to divide the two of us, so what's wrong with me? Do you really need us to have a death grudge with the British Prime Minister? "

"Wuwuwu …" Besides, if he didn't take advantage of the situation, he would be a b * stard! To take advantage of an Englishman, this was revenge, alright? Benjamin has already raised the price to more than ten million! "

"Master, that's over ten million pounds worth of military support funds. It's enough for me to make a comeback, don't you want it? If you don't want me, then I'm an idiot! "

"Eat his bastard and drink his bastard. As for how we're going to pay him in the future, once our backs are firm, won't we be able to negotiate anything?"

"As for that railway, no matter what, it was built on our Qing Dynasty's land. After a few years, he could control it if we wanted him to. If he pisses us off the year after, so what if he breaks the contract?"

"At most, there'll be another war. When we try to join hands, I don't believe I won't be able to win!" "Even if we do not win, it will not be a problem for us to tie and force them to back down at the negotiating table …"

Xiao Letian laughed bitterly and shook his head, "You … You! It's not as simple as you think. Get up first, this is the British Parliament, there are some things that cannot be said, quickly get up … "

Seeing his master's expression, Zai Chun was secretly happy. He finally passed, looks like his tears were not for nothing.

Xiao Letian didn't know what to say either. He had memories of hundreds of years from the future, and he was very clear on how strong these powerhouses were in their desire to control the railways. Sometimes, they even didn't need their territory to control the railways.

The biggest pie in the Russo-Japanese War was the distribution of power to the East Central. Japan lost 100,000 lives for this war, and finally lost half of the railway control of the three Eastern provinces to Russia.

Controlling the railways meant controlling all economic activities along the railways. Controlling the economy was only one step away from annexing the territory.

The railway! This was a killing weapon that could change geopolitics! How can you, Zai Chun, turn the tables whenever you want? However, this principle was not something that could be explained in a single sentence, at least not in British Parliament.

After a heart to heart drama, the master and disciple duo finally passed the previous awkward period. Zai Chun fawningly poured a cup of wine for his master and said, "Master, in the end, you still have to give it to us, we will follow your rules to build the railway line, let's start a joint venture …"

"Even if you have fat, you should at least get your master's help!" "Let the British come in now and let them do the most difficult construction work. Once the railways are completed, things will be easier in the future. Even if they take advantage of us, the British will not be able to escape from our grasp …"

"Caution! What is this place? "Be careful not to have ears on the wall …"

In the end, Zai Chun's status was still too special. As a king, one could not use a normal person's morals to restrain him.

Furthermore,'s cooperation was indispensable for the future infiltration and advancement of the fort plan into the mainland.

"Zai Chun, this matter of the railway will end here for today, don't go into deep discussion, but Master wants to remind you … Benjamin is about to step down from the stage. Whether or not his promise will work, no one knows, whether or not Gladstone will inherit his policies is up for debate! "

"Just remember one thing, don't be in a hurry to sign an agreement with the British, don't... At the very least, you have to wait for me to finish this war. You have to remember, only if we perform more and more on the battlefield, we will be able to get more at the negotiating table! "

After hearing it, Zai Chun nodded his head with all his might, "Yes, yes, yes. However, Gladstone was not stupid enough to deny the railway construction plan. "I estimate that Gladstone will come looking for me sooner or later …"

Zai Chun's guess was not wrong. In the Rest Room on the first floor, Gladstone had already started to recruit people for his position in power, even to the point of his hand reaching into Tory Party's pockets.

Gordon, this general who was only considered a second-rate military officer in Britain, had become more valuable because of the Tongzhi Emperor. As a result of his experiences in the Great Qing, he had naturally become the lubricant for communication between Great Britain and the Kingdom of Qing.

Gordon had already earned the trust of the Tongzhi Emperor, all of this was something that Gladden had witnessed for a long time, so taking advantage of this crucial moment, if he did not take Gordon under his command, how long would he have to wait?
