Hidden Dragon in Qing Dynasty

When the cavalry company escorted Bismark and Xiao Letian back to the Sada War General Command, the sun was already setting in the west and the sky was enveloped by the sunset.

In front of Xiao Letian, the entire field of Sadova was filled with smoke and dust. This was not smoke, but smoke that came from two hundred thousand soldiers firing together to cook dinner.

Sometimes, the strength of a country could be seen from the way the army maintained its logistics. If this was the Qing Dynasty, then hundreds of thousands of soldiers would be exhausted in less than ten minutes for dinner.

For the logistics of the Qing army were entirely medieval. Large quantities of skinless wheat and rice, together with dried meat and stored vegetables, were transported thousands of miles from the rear.

When the grain was close to the front line, the specialized mill would peel it to make flour and rice. The advantage of this was that it could avoid the problem of food corruption in the process of transportation, but it also caused a lot of trouble for the use of the army.

After the soldiers from each department were given the rice noodles, they had to start processing. What good skills could a group of soldiers have? It was nothing more than a dry noodle cake that could choke a person to death, enough rice to last them for half their lives.

Looking at the supplies provided by the Prussian, a water can of tin, beef, bacon, and various kinds of unknown fish, the soldiers used their shifts as units to get the food. Usually, they would stab it with their bayonets a few times, and the smell of meat would start to permeate the air.

The oval metal pot that was like a telescope box was already placed on top of the bonfire, the water inside it had already started to bubble up, and a large chunk of beef and fish meat was poured in.

Dinner was not only for eating meat, but there was also a large amount of staple food, and hard bread that was about a meter long and heavy enough to be used as a door latch was distributed one by one. This was not the kind of pastries that Xiao Letian would eat in his previous life, this kind of hard bread was filled with a lot of salt even without adding a little sugar, it was also kneaded very solidly.

This was the European steamed bun. An adult eating four or five steamed buns at a time was equivalent to three or four steamed buns.

The dinner had meat, fish, carbohydrates, and soup, and finally canned fruit for dessert, which was not all. After the soldiers had finished eating, the cleaned tin pot could still be used to make coffee, and after the war the soldiers could sit on the ground on their backpacks and watch the distant mountains, the wild and the sunset, and the tiredness of the day's battle was quickly forgotten.

"Shaw!" Shaw? " Just as Bismark was about to enter the commander's headquarters, he suddenly realised that Xiao Letian was seated on a horse, staring at the battlefield in a daze.

"Hmm? "Hmm …" Oh, I'm sorry, I was a little distracted just now... Prime Minister, I will wait outside the tent. After all, I do not know the reason for the argument inside, but if I rashly go in, I'm afraid it will be embarrassing! "

Bismark thought that this made sense. After all, it was not polite for Xiao Letian to be a guest in this kind of dispute. Thinking of this, he nodded his head and walked into the tent.

Xiao Letian dismounted from his horse and walked towards a cavalry unit by the side of the road that was about to start their meal. Looking at their military uniforms, Xiao Letian could tell that these were the king's guards and the meat broth on their bonfire was already starting to boil.

"Gentlemen, may I have a meal?" Xiao Letian, on her horse boots, walked towards her class.

"Stand at attention!" With a command from the squad leader, the ten cavalrymen put down their lunch boxes and saluted together. They were the guard cavalry soldiers, and the most important mission was to protect the big shot of the empire. They all knew who Xiao Letian was.

"Reporting, sir..." "Guards Cavalry Division, First Brigade, Fourth Regiment, First Battalion, Second Company …"

"Stop Stop Stop..." What are you doing? I'm not your immediate superior, and I'm not even good at German. I wouldn't understand if you said too much, hahaha … "Sit, sit!" Xiao Letian waved for everyone to sit down.

Xiao Letian did not put on airs, the soldiers clearly felt that the Eastern Prime Minister had grown a lot closer. In a short while, the soldiers had abandoned their formality and started to chat with Xiao Letian.

Xiao Letian could not speak German well, but his English was very high. Furthermore, there was still Jonas to translate later on, so it was not a problem for the two of them to communicate.

"Oh …" Hot, hot... This beef broth is too delicious … Please give me a piece of bread, thank you! " Xiao Letian didn't put on airs at all, he picked up the lunchbox and ate a big piece of hard bread that was dipped in a thick broth, it was extremely sweet.

The soldiers only liked big figures who did not put on airs. Seeing that Xiao Letian did not hold anything back, they also started to eat freely. During this period of time, they even asked a lot of questions about China.

"Sir, you don't even need knives and forks for dinner. Do you all use two sticks?" How could he eat it … Is it true that even the poorest Chinese can wear silk? "

"Prime Minister... Is it really polygamy in China? Can a man really marry many wives? Aren't they afraid of God's punishment? "Are there really women from the East who are bound to their feet?"

"Sir, I've read in the Thames newspaper that there are many races living together in China. For a country to actually have dozens of different races, is there no conflict between them?"

I just want to ask, why did you all lose to English and French? My class has seen the bloody battles of the Shiqiao uplands today, with just your fighting capabilities, how could you guys be able to capture the capital? "

The soldiers had a lot of questions, Xiao Letian was easy to answer in his life, and just a few jokes were enough to answer them. However, the fact that the British and French combined forces attacked the Beijing, was not something that could be easily covered up.

Xiao Letian and his group of officers had already used their own sacrifices and sacrifices to change the view of countless Prussian. Currently, there was already a large number of people in Prussia who did not believe English and French's lies.

However, the war six years ago was something that Xiao Letian could not avoid at all. A nation's capital had been conquered, and even its imperial palace had been burnt down.

Xiao Letian slowly swallowed the food in his mouth. He felt that there was no need to avoid the question, he slightly nodded towards Lei Ao who was behind him, and Lei Ao immediately understood that Xiao Letian was going to answer the entire Europe.

He knew that this was the last question for his employer. As long as Xiao Letian was able to stand out in this answer, then from today onwards, the image of the Chinese people in Europe would be completely changed. At least this was how it was in Prussia.

Xiao Letian looked at the endless fields, seeing the many puzzled faces, he suddenly laughed, "Hahaha …" This is a good question! " Xiao Letian was laughing so hard that he was about to cry.

"That's right. The capital of a country has been conquered, and even the Royal Gardens have been burnt …" This is not all. I can tell you now, because of this war, the customs control of the Kingdom of Qing was seized by the British. A grand national tariff was actually controlled by a foreigner.

Qing Guo paid English and French 8 million silver, and Russian took advantage of the chaos to divide the land into two, snatching away a total of 1,000,000 square kilometers of land in the Qing Dynasty … Do you know how big this is? Four British areas were taken away... "

At this time, not only the soldiers of the class were listening to Xiao Letian, but the soldiers of several classes had surrounded them. When they heard this, their faces were all filled with disbelief.

Leo's hands were trembling as he crushed a piece of film. He was so anxious, thinking how can you be so solid, the education rate in Europe right now isn't that high, and most of the soldiers only know what's going on below their noses. Far away, the story is a fantasy for them.

These soldiers only heard from the newspapers and gossip that six years ago, the English and French had fought a war with the Qing Dynasty and that an extremely beautiful emperor's summer palace in Beijing had been captured and burned.

These were the Prussian's impressions of the war, and no one else had gotten used to it. But today, Xiao Letian had unexpectedly exposed himself and tore apart the unhealed scar with his own hands.

Xiao Letian said with a stern face, "Are you all surprised? Do you think the Chinese are weak? "Yes, I share your feelings. I'm also surprised. I also feel that the Chinese are very weak and have no future …"

"But you have to remember, China has thousands of years of history. In such a long period of time, all of the suffering that we have gone through is so much that you would not dare to imagine it!"

Xiao Letian's voice became more and more high-pitched, "There are countless foreign races who live together with the Chinese nation. Hun, Qiang, Turkic, Mongolian … One after another, the pagan tribes rose and fell. When they fought with the Chinese nation, do you know how much suffering we had? "

"When everything was in chaos, forget about the capital city being conquered, at that time, the Han people were almost massacred, and only with the protection of the Changjiang Heavenly Chasm did they manage to preserve a trace of their vitality …" "There's also the Grand Tang Dynasty's Grand Chaos of Peace. It was also the foreign generals who rose up to rebel and captured Changan, directly destroying the Tang Dynasty's Grand Xia …"

"Of course, there is also the Mongolian. You Europeans should not forget the name 'Genghis Khan', which is the name of the Mongolian. The emperor and his master committed suicide by diving into the sea. A hundred thousand scholars followed them as they jumped off the cliff. The Chinese civilization was on the verge of extinction! "

Xiao Letian's sorrowful and indignant voice shook all of the Prussian present. These soldiers were a little stupid, they really did not think that the ancient clan in the east had such a history.

"The Chinese people have experienced countless times of glory in history and have also experienced countless setbacks. Open the history books and take a look. The difficulties we have encountered today are nothing compared to those of our predecessors. "No matter how many times we live or die, even our seeds have almost been killed. But we still managed to stubbornly survive, and we have been living for generations on end!"

"What is there to be afraid of, British and French combined forces? This defeat seems like a calamity to you Europeans, but to us Chinese, it is just one level on the ladder of suffering, and a small setback will not stop the rebirth of the Chinese chariot! "

"Just like your Prussian Nation. Although you have experienced countless hardships, once the chariot is activated, it is destined to crush all the enemies in front of you! "It is this aura, this spirit in your chests, that allowed you to win this war of national fortunes. I believe that you will teach France a ruthless lesson in advance …"

"The shame of Jen will finally be wiped away by your generation. Similarly, the shame of us Chinese will also be wiped away by us!"

"Look at the miracles on the Shiqiao uplands! A people that could create all of this was invincible! I believe in that! Even if the sky is pierced, as long as I am still alive, I can make it up for him! "
