Hidden Dragon in Qing Dynasty

Why did the old marshal fight with his life on the line?

Ceng Guofan had seen the stronghold's plan before, before Xiao Letian left for Europe, he had secretly talked with Ceng Guofan about it, and talked about how to obtain the ten million square kilometers of Qing Dynasty.

The future might not be a country dominated by Chinese, but it would definitely be a country dominated by Chinese. And the Chinese people would directly inherit the Chinese civilization, which was a common national complex where the Han people mostly merged with the rest of the Chinese people.

It was a bit like nationalism, but it was not as narrow-minded as people thought, because this race was not made by bloodline genes. It was made by culture, only by culture!

To define the nation in terms of culture was a task that could only be accomplished by the Chinese, because only the Chinese had experience, because only the Chinese civilization in the world was continuous and unbroken.

The Han bloodline in the Qing Dynasty was already in chaos. Compared to the Han bloodline in the early days of the Han Dynasty, it had undergone many times the fusion of different races!

Over thousands of years of history, many races had disappeared into the river of history. Many had become the surnames of the hundreds of clans.

Do you promote narrow-minded bloodline nationalism in this kind of country? Wasn't this a joke? Was he slapping his own ancestor's face? Perhaps you are the descendant of the people you are scolding, and you are scolding your own ancestors?

Therefore, Ceng Guofan approved of Xiao Letian's proposed Chinese concept. This kind of cultural nationalism was very much to the taste of the traditional Chinese literati.

It could be said that once the concept of Chinese was introduced, people didn't say anything on the surface. However, as long as you observed it carefully, you would find that the attitudes of the different social classes were very acceptable.

So what if it was the Manchu, what if it was the deceiver? There were actually not many people who were scolding the streets!

In truth, after fusing with each other for more than two hundred years, the Manchu, the Meng people and the other people had all written the same language.

The holidays were the same as well. There wasn't much of a difference between married couples, and the values in their bones were the same as well. They all knew that they had to respect their parents and not take liberties with other families' wives.

Basic good and evil are all the same, reading, writing, talking and even eating and eating are all the same.

This was already considered a united community in terms of culture. According to the Chinese standard, if this was not a unified nation, then what was?

Therefore, in order for the Chinese to unite with China, under such a system of values, the different nationalities would not complain too much and the wave of resistance would not be too fierce.

However, the concept of the Chinese race really had to become a nation. There was still a lot of detail to be done because no regime would voluntarily withdraw from the stage of history.

War was inevitable. There was no way out without blood!

It was a good plan to win the battle, and it was a good idea to think carefully about how to fight the most economical!

Xiao Letian was not an idiot, he would not fight battles where he lost money.

You can't just die for the sake of a just cause? You can't let the citizens spend their wealth in vain, right?

After thinking about it, the stronghold's plan was the most suitable!

To take a simple example, if you want to control an entire body, if you're going to be ruling in the past, you'll have to place ruling officials all over the county, and you'll also have to have violent agencies to help manage them.

You have to take all the crossings, passes, bridges, rivers... All the important military areas were heavily guarded, and then barracks were set up in every populous city.

This way, you can guard against any possible enemy invasion or internal rebellion!

How many soldiers would they need to raise? It was impossible without a hundred thousand yuan!

After humanity entered the new era, due to the development of science and technology, the means of governance had rapidly increased!

If Xiao Letian were to control a Li Li, he wouldn't need to train 100,000 troops at all. In fact, 10 to 20 thousand elite soldiers was enough.

With the fortification of the city, the local militia could withstand a period of enemy attacks or internal rebellion. Then, the elite troops could use the efficient railways to move left and right, reaching their destination day after day.

The rebel army appeared in Handan in the morning, perhaps in the afternoon the Mountain Customs field army took a train and attacked!

Before the rebel army could bite the skin of the city, the field gun of the elite army had already opened fire!

By taking advantage of the railway line and the fort, he could greatly increase the distance and efficiency of the army's use. In terms of economics, this was the most worthwhile and economical thing to do!

Xiao Letian's plan to invade the Central Plains was actually such an enlarged version of the project!

A special zone was a fortress with a self-defense ability. It trained the militia to make use of the power of the working class and the powerful support of industrialization.

These fort Qing Dynasty could not even chew on them, even if they had only eaten one or two, they would have lost all their blood!

And between the Fortress and District are rivers, railways, canals, highways... Wait for the transportation network to contact, one side warns the other side of the quick maneuver unit to move.

The stronghold would drag the enemy down, and then the elite army would annihilate the enemy's forces in the wilderness, and let the army stick into their flying legs to run. That would be twice the result with half the effort!

There was no need to act like everyone else, they just had to make sure that every city had their own Green Camp, that they had to place a certain number of troops to defend it.

That was the thinking mode of the Middle Age, which was forced to do so due to the fact that human traffic and logistics were not well-developed!

It was precisely this kind of backward military ideology that caused the Qing Dynasty to have millions of troops on paper.

However, when it really came to the national war, he realized that gathering a hundred thousand elite troops would be extremely difficult!

This was because the army had melted like salt in every county, or even in every village, and the 1000 to 900 soldiers that were stationed in these small towns were a complete waste of resources.

Even if there was a war going on, could you trust these people who have been living with the commoners for years, and doing business that was more important than training to them, to win the war?

War was a science with a high degree of professionalism. It was no longer a model for the ancient era to win just by playing in the sea of people!

After looking through the top-secret files of the stronghold's plan, the old marshal was so excited that he did not sleep the entire night.

It was this plan that allowed the old marshal to understand that Xiao Letian was not a swindler with a cannon. This guy really had the ability to establish a country, rule a country, and encircle it!

There was nothing to say. The old marshal would risk his life for the sake of the future Chinese civilization!

Ceng Guofan was already prepared to tire himself to death in Beijing, so much that he couldn't even care about cursing from behind!

The Tongzhi Emperor had to do it personally, and it was the kind of personal government that could wield power. This had to be guaranteed, because if Zai Chun did not do it personally, the special fortress would not be able to do it!

No one in the empress dowagers or Yi Xuan would dare to use a treasure to agree to it!

Only Ai Xinjueluozaichun who had brainwashed successfully would agree to rent a Special Zone, and only if you rent the land first would you have the time to create super fortresses!

Even if he wanted to build a railway in the future, Zai Chun would have to use a treasure with all his might!

For the Chinese people's foundation of ten thousand years! Ceng Guofan will do it!

"Empress Dowager …" Prince … This official has committed a capital offense, and 20,000 soldiers are already on their way. Not only on the way, I also recommend that these soldiers be stationed in Zhuozhou, not at the Residence of House Protector! "
