Hidden Dragon in Qing Dynasty

The weather in England was just that annoying. Fog and heavy rain, especially autumn rain, usually lasted for three or four days at a time. The cold rain that fell in the morning did not stop until nightfall.

Although Xiao Letian and the others had already gotten used to the humid climate in the Pacific Ocean, it didn't matter how hot and wet it was. The wet and cold were two completely different feelings, one could rely on sweating to metabolize the humid energy, but the wet and cold energy would have to endure for a long time.

The British waiters were very careful. When they heard the complaints of the Chinese officials, they quickly lit up the fireplaces in every room of the East Palace. The sturdy, durable Norse red pine was sawed into firewood of a uniform size, crackling in the fireplaces, and the dancing flames drove away the moisture in the rooms.

Unfortunately, no matter how warm the fire in the fireplace was, it could not dispel the chill in the hearts of the people. In the study room, the leader of the Hua Clan, Xiao Letian, and the incoming British Prime Minister, Gladstone, were already extremely powerful.

The newspaper was placed on the tea table by the fireplace, written in bold bold black characters. It was a shocking sight to behold.

"The biggest riot occurred in the Dublin in a hundred years. Over ten thousand thugs burned the Customs building and attacked the Queen's Dublin Castle. A preliminary count shows that more than two hundred brave soldiers have been sacrificed on the streets of the Dublin …"

"The last strike within the Capitol Building. The rebellion within the Dublin has completely annihilated the possibility of Prime Minister Benjamin turning the tables on him. Currently, many people within the imperial court are guessing whether the Prime Minister will use the final move …"

"Threatening? When Prime Minister Benjamin threatened to dissolve the council, did the British Empire reach its most dangerous moment? "

"Should we choose between a respectable downfield or a life and death net? This newspaper will continue to deeply report on the great change in the political field …"

The East Palace subscribed a lot of newspapers that could be bought on the market. They were piled up on the tea table and were over a foot high. The champagne bottles hidden in the piles of newspapers were almost gone.

The opening of the champagne did not have the slightest atmosphere of celebration. Originally, Xiao Letian and Gladstone would have a friendly light martial arts dinner together with an in-depth discussion of future cooperation. However, before they could finish speaking, the two of them had already started arguing.

"Xiao Letian! You'd better give me an explanation! Is this what you call a proper stimulus? The Dublin's garrison lost a total of 210 people, and the number of casualties among the commoners amounted to more than 500. Three districts were completely destroyed, and the Customs building and the entire storage area were completely burnt … "

"The naval gun emplacement was captured, and the largest arsenal was blown up... Even Dublin Castle suffered from the siege of Burning Fire. Is this the appropriate provocation you're talking about? "

"What I want is for Benjamin to step down, not for you to destroy Ireland!"

The buzzing sound made Xiao Letian's ears itch, he used his little finger to pick at his ear and sneered, "Do you think political battles are games? Do you really think that Benjamin is that easy to step down from the stage? "

"If I didn't help you plan this, would you have been able to replace me so smoothly? "There's a saying in China, 'Since you're a whore, don't even think about getting a memorial archway …'"

"Do you know what the memorial archway is? The memorial hall is a monument to pure women. You are already morally corrupted, do you still want a medal? "

"Rascal!" Gladstone was so angry that his eyebrows jumped, "You're a scoundrel! What did you promise? You said it was only a limited stimulus, which made the Congress realize that Benjamin and the others had made a mistake with their colonization policies … "

"When did you ever say the losses would be so great? How many spies do you have lurking in Ireland? Have you been working hard for a long time? "

"Bullshit!" Xiao Letian slapped the tea table hard and the newspaper splattered all over, "Have you experienced war before? Do you know what a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood is? From the moment you agreed to this plan, you should have been prepared! "

"Too many dead people? Even before a thousand people died, you think there's too many of them? "Let me tell you, this is already the utmost restraint we are trying our best to control. If my hands were to loosen a little, then your losses would be ten times more!"

"You are just a rookie on the battlefield. How dare you blabber on like that in front of a professional like me?!"

"You …" Gladstone was so infuriated that Xiao Letian couldn't even say a word.

The revolt in Dublin was actually a conspiracy between Xiao Letian and Gladstone. Its purpose was very clear, Ireland was Britain's oldest and most difficult land to rule.

After hundreds of years of assimilation, Ireland had slowly fused with Britain. It was a pity that the Great Famine had completely destroyed the Irish fantasy.

Millions of lives had sobered the Irish completely, and from that moment on, Britain had no chance of assimilating Ireland, and the hatred left behind by that disaster would not last for a thousand years.

It was against this background that Gladstone and the other Liberal Party began to reflect on the Empire's previous colonization policy. Of course, there were also considerations of a political confrontation, and all of the competitors had to choose their own policies to attack.

Benjamin and the others had always been a strong repressive force, if any Irishmen made a move, they would mercilessly kill them. However, tyranny could only maintain their hatred, and under this kind of pressure, the Irishmen's resistance would only get stronger.

In fact, three years ago, Gladstone had already started proposing a gentle colonial rule for the Irish. He even proposed a bill to the parliament, but of course, such a bill would definitely not be passed, because that was when the colonialist was in power.

However, it was not important if the proposal was passed or not, what was important was that through this form, Gladstone gradually started to write her own banner, and some of the enlightened and gentle faction started moving towards him, the Liberal Party had officially formed its own governing style.

After so many years of painstaking work, they had finally welcomed the season of harvest. This time, they were taking advantage of the opportunity to impeach Benjamin and instigated a riot in Ireland. This proved the policies of these colonialist to be completely wrong.

As long as the fire was in place, Gladstone had calculated that this sudden riot could get him at least 30 to 40 more votes to support him. Don't underestimate these dozens of votes.

However, this kind of dark work couldn't be done by Gladstone herself, or even by European powers. This kind of thing was taboo, once it was exposed, it would be beyond redemption.

After all, Xiao Letian and the others could only stay in Europe for a short period of time, and they also had a request for themselves.

Everyone hoped that Benjamin would scram from the stage. On this issue, there was no possibility of the two of them betraying the both of them.

But Gladstone never thought that Xiao Letian would actually hit so viciously. Even half a step into Dublin was destroyed by you, you never said that there would be such a big commotion before!

In the end, Gladstone was still a civil servant. When he met a real killer, his heart was still not strong enough! And through this matter, he had a new evaluation of Xiao Letian.

Was it right to choose him as an ally in Asia? Who would have thought that this black-hearted person was so ruthless!
