Hidden Dragon in Qing Dynasty

Since ancient times, the control of a Army has always been a top priority for every single regime in the Country. Military might is the foundation of a Country's stability!

The Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty used the historical opportunity of the rebellion at the end of the Ming Dynasty to conquer the central origin. The Dynasty understood the importance of military authority just by relying on the Eight Banner System of the military alliance.

From the very beginning of the Qing Dynasty, the military power had gradually been reclaimed, and the military power of the Chaotic Qing Government was taken back from the Chinese warlord.

The three dynasties of Kang Yong continued to centralize power, and gathered the military power of each of the eight banner lords into the hands of the Kaiser!

Only at this time did Qing Dynasty have the absolute military power to expand to the outside world. Outer Mongolia, Xinjiang, Tibet, Yun Gui Chuan … Many territories had been conquered at that time.

However, this absolute power had completely collapsed because of a Taiping Heavenly Kingdom campaign. The decayed Eight Banners had already lost their combat power, so the helpless Xian Feng was forced to activate the Chinese army.

From the beginning of Xian Feng's reign, there was another huge power in the political situation of the Qing Dynasty, and that was the Chinese warlord!

Facing the rise of the Chinese warlord, the Qing Government was already so nervous that they were like ants on a hot pan, how to weaken the Han Chen had already become the most important thing for the court.

Under these circumstances, how could they allow the Chinese goblin to meddle in their military power? Chang Sheng Jun could fight, but the more she could fight, the more threatened she would be.

Hua Er, Bai Qiwen and Ge Deng expanded Gun Team, who initially had only seven hundred people, into five thousand elite soldiers, forcing court to become an army alone, Chang Sheng Jun!

On the surface it looked like glory, but it was actually all killing moves. From the moment of the reward, court had already started figuring out how to kill people!

After Li Hongzhang entered the Shanghai, the court took the Chang Sheng Jun under his command. One of the important missions was to make Li Hongzhang secretly dissolve this group of Army!

This was a top secret mission, and it would never appear in historical records! And it was precisely because of this secret benefit that Li Hongzhang dared to face these Master Yang s!

With his weak life, he did not wait for Li Hongzhang to personally make a move and died on the battlefield. This saved Li Hongzhang a lot of energy!

Bai Qiwen, on the other hand, was an complete idiot. He could not see the danger of approaching them, and of course, this rash youth who had never received any kind of advanced education in his twenties was also unable to comprehend this level with his IQ.

Li Hongzhang had touched his temper just to provoke him, to make him reveal it bit by bit, to lose all hope!

I'll pay you back on purpose for a few days. I'll intentionally cause some trouble with my men. I'll use a little provocation on this hot-blooded youngster … Anyway, he had easily made Bai Qiwen irritable and easily angered, and very quickly, he had offended a large group of people, and then, he had violated many military laws!

There were too many flaws, the evidence in Li Hongzhang's hands was too thick, they would even be embarrassed to plead for mercy in front of the foreign ambassador!

That was how he created the situation. That was how he made the final decision to take the throne, including his subsequent doting!

This was a huge net that was formed from the Beijing, to his aides and subordinates, and more than half of the officials in the Qing Kingdom were trying to destroy the Chang Sheng Jun that was controlled by the foreigners!

Bai Qiwen was only 29 years old when he died, and Hua Er was only 24 years old when he recruited him!

Moreover, this child had not received any higher education, and his parents were not experienced in political battles. It was impossible for them to teach him these things!

And who was he facing? Ceng Guofan, Li Hongzhang, Bidens, Ci Xi, Ci An … He was an old cunning fox who had cultivated in the Qing Dynasty for a thousand years!

Death was the inevitable ending. Bai Qiwen's tragedy was that he did not understand this situation. He did not know from the start that these high ranking officials of the China had never wanted him to perform meritorious deeds!

Li Hongzhang had given him a chance to live. After he escaped from the Taiping Army, the Qing Dynasty did not kill him.

And United States Minister knew that Bai Qiwen had overdone it, so he sent it straight to Japan!

He regretted it, he regretted it. He regretted it, Bai Qiwen was too greedy and ambitious, he actually went to the Fujian to seek refuge when the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom was at the end of its road!

This was his final cause of death!

Li Hongzhang looked at Ge Deng and said faintly, "Bai Qiwen and Ware can't do it … They are just a bunch of adventurer s from Europe and America here to try their luck! "

"Only you! You, Ge Deng, are the wise man! I've studied your family background! As expected of someone who came from the aristocratic family, the education she received since childhood was much better than those two! "

"The most important thing is that through the Family and your experience during your work, you have already understood how the political forces fight!"

"You've been observing me coldly. You've seen through this game since a long time ago, haven't you? So in the end, you accepted three hundred and ninety thousand Silver, and agreed to dissolve the Chang Sheng Jun! "

"What a clever person you are! "At that time, you made the right choice. How come you're so unwise now?"

Ge Deng broke out in a cold sweat. The telegraph that was scolded at by the UK in the past was still remembered, not a single word was forgotten!

Yes, the Chang Sheng Jun did not hold back in the end, and was dissolved and incorporated into the Huai Jun to be integrated!

Those China's people directly became the backbone of the Huai Jun, and the foreign military officers sent them back home with a large amount of severance pay!

While Ge Deng himself, on the other hand, paid a severance fee of 190,000 gold, which was also added to the previous fee of 200,000 silver that Li Hongzhang had stuffed into his mouth after he was captured by the Suzhou.

Ge Deng had taken a total of three hundred and ninety thousand Silver from Li Hongzhang!

In addition to what he had plundered in the Qing Kingdom all these years, along with the silver that had blackened Hua Er and Bai Qiwen, Ge Deng had brought along a total of 800,000 silver when he returned to the UK!

Only with the operation of this money did he become popular in the official courts of London. Originally, the British Government wanted to hold him accountable, but in the end, they left it at that!

You have to understand that the British Government held high hopes for the Chang Sheng Jun. This is the first nail on the back of the UK!

It was a pity that this great situation had been personally destroyed by Ge Deng!

Why did this happen? In the end, it was still because Ge Deng understood Li Hongzhang's goal and knew that he must have obtained Qing Dynasty's authorization!

Ge Deng was also afraid of death! He knew that if he was unwilling to cooperate with Li Hongzhang's plan to retreat, then the next person to die after Bai Qiwen died would definitely be him!

No matter how he thought about it, life was more important, and silver were also more important! Li Hongzhang was not stingy to him at all!

The experiences of Ge Deng, Bai Qiwen and Waltz were actually the story of how the adventurer roamed about in the China.

It was full of bloody winds and rain, full of strange looks, all of them risking their lives to gain riches, floating amidst the surging tides of epoch! It was either a pile of human bones or a pile of corpses!

The last one to laugh was Ge Deng, but was Ge Deng, who came to the China again, still able to laugh until the end? Seeing Li Hongzhang like this, I'm afraid it will be difficult!
