Hidden Dragon in Qing Dynasty

"Cough, cough, cough …" This old official does not have much time left, nor do I care how you think of me. If you want to hear the truth, then tell me something that you do not like to hear! "

Zai Chun's eyes revealed an expression of gratitude, "Ceng Shuang, just say it! I want to hear something unpleasant today! "

"Good!" This subject will make it clear! If the Great Qing Dynasty wanted to live, and if she didn't want to die, then she had to live with the times! All those who oppose the industrial power of the court... "

"Hehe …" I'm afraid the people in my heart are hoping for the Great Qing Dynasty to die early! "

"How dare you!" Yi Yu shouted loudly: "Ceng Guofan, you swept the entire Eight Flag Palace inside? Could it be that these nobles and officials also wish for the imperial government to fall? "

"Empress Dowager! Please punish Ceng Guofan for his crime of being disrespectful! "

"Hahaha …" Ceng Shuai laughed loudly, "Why must you atone to this old official?" What's called great disrespect, wouldn't it be fine if you just directly said that you were rebellious! "

This subject, Ceng Guofan, did not follow your thoughts and did not sing a hymn to the Great Qing for tens of thousands of years.

"Come, Prince Kung! This old official's head is here, if you want it, you can have it! "

"You …" Yi Yeyu couldn't refute a single word that was stuffed into his mouth.

Ceng Guofan cupped his hands towards the empress dowager behind the curtain and asked, "What is the doomsday scene? If no one dares to speak the truth in a imperial court, it would be the end of the dynasty! "

"Do you pretend not to understand? How did you lose the millions of lands outside the Black Dragon River and Wusuli River? "

"Yaqub messed up the entire Xinjiang, the soldiers went all the way to the Hami and captured the entire territory of the Yili. Only some of the Mongolian herdsmen in Northern Frontier Tower city are still loyal to me, Da Qing!"

"Look at the coastal areas, whether it is Chinese or foreign devils, all of them are desperately trying to build battleships to seek control of the sea!"

"You don't see these changes? Playing dumb? What dream of ten thousand years of the Kingdom of Heaven? Wake up! "

"Thirty years, in just thirty years, what has the strength of the foreigners changed? We already have troops that can fly in the sky, but we don't even have a Steel plant or a railway.

"Humph!" "Don't think that just by taking the silver, you can buy a strong army. You must know that the Chinese have weapons from foreign devils. Even the imperial government can do it today, and sell it to Long-hair tomorrow!"

"If you don't go with the flow, you'll be stuck on the ammunition supply!" The life vein of a country is controlled by others, what else do you have to discuss? "

"This official is old! This subject does not want to change his official uniform before his death, and he does not want to lose his hair... Just make do and be a loyal subject of the Great Qing! "

"But if I can make do with my life, there might not be people who can make do with it in the future!" Have you guys thought about what will happen in the next thirty years? "

"By the time we reach the year 1901 of the Western Calendar, you guys should start to think carefully about what would happen to the industry of the Western Demons."

Threatening was indeed a naked threat. The marshal had said it very clearly, even if I'm old I can't rebel and I don't want to be a prisoner!

But just because I, Ceng Guofan, do not rebel, does not mean that the Han people of the world will not rebel! Even if I am able to suppress these hundreds of thousands of Xiang Army alive, death will not necessarily cause anything big!

Thirty years old! At the rate that the current era was evolving, what would happen in thirty years? He didn't even dare to think about it!

What would the world become in 1901? No one present had any idea of what it would be like, but if anyone were to ask Xiao Letian what it looked like in 1901, he would definitely fall into silence.

A reunion in thirty years. If Great Qing wasted another thirty years of time, by 1901, she would be signing a "Ogre Pact" and paying back 980 million silver taels!

No matter how important a person's words were, he didn't care about his age or position, but cared about the power behind him!

With the support of the enormous Xiangjun Group behind Ceng Guofan, then his words were actually spoken by himself, and the reason why you were going against him was not only against him!

At the start, the atmosphere of the entire assembly was somewhat of a farce, but after Ceng Guofan left, the atmosphere changed!

Ceng Guofan openly supported the Steel plant's plan, he even thought that one Steel plant was not enough, it was far from enough!

Ci Xi couldn't help but to ponder the meaning behind his words. Even the Prince Kung was sweating profusely, could it be that the Southern Xiangjun Group had already reached an agreement and wanted to get a Industrial Revolution like Xiao Letian?

Could it be that they were waiting for an opening? They were waiting for Zai Chun to move the first shovel of dirt in the capital, so they could follow him in immediately?

~ It's possible, this Industrial Zones is made very popular by Xiao Letian, if we invest in any factory, we will be able to earn a ton of money, how can those cunning Han people not be jealous?

Damn it, could it be that Zai Chun had already secretly formed an alliance with Ceng Guofan, and he obtained the support of the Xiangjun Group?

If it was really like that, then this Zai Chun would not be easy to fight. Even if he was young, as long as there was power supporting him, he would still be able to cause waves and stir up trouble!

The Tongzhi emperor of this world was much more powerful than the Great Qing emperor of that parallel world. This was because Zai Chun had already taught him very pragmatically, especially regarding the control of military power!

Zai Chun was armed with his own direct line of descent, this was the true backbone of his governance!

In Xiao Letian's previous life, the Tongzhi Emperor was completely an emperor who towered over the skies. He was the owner of the Great Qing in name, but there was actually no army in his possession that was his direct descendant.

They were all loyal to him on the surface, but they all acknowledged him as their masters!

At that time, the only administrative record Zai Chun had in history was to cause a ruckus and re-cultivate his Yuan Ming Yuan. He had wasted several million silver taels, but in the end, he did not even manage to create a single splash.

In the end, it was because he was only a national symbol, but he did not have a loyal direct line of descent. There was no army that was willing to fight for him, even if it was at death's door!

Do not even think about making decisions without a gun in your hands. In this era of Zai Chun, you have seen this logic with your own eyes from the people of Europe and China!

A hint of undetectable ruthlessness flashed past Prince Kung's eyes. Raising his head, he loudly said, "Your Majesty, I have long since known what you meant by that. I do not have much resistance towards industrial power!"

"What this subject worries about is resistance from the people, because ignorant peasants do not understand these principles. They are just like the clouds in the sky. If someone told them that there are little ghosts in the factory, they would really believe it!"

"With the instigation of those people with ulterior motives, they will really stir up trouble!"

"Since Your Majesty has already made up his mind, we should consider the resistance from the people. What else does your subject have to say? Of course, raise both hands in approval …"

The six words spoken by the devil were very beautiful, but he used his eyes to look at the always silent Minister of Revenue, Bao Yun, and the Minister of War, Guiguo!
