Hidden Dragon in Qing Dynasty

Li Hongzhang's palmetto advanced in the pitch black Street, and on the way, they met two groups of blind patrolling Tin s.

These Tin s of the Capital were all intelligent people, all of them knew about the news, the first thing Li Hongzhang did when he returned to the capital this morning was to find out about it.

Upon seeing that they were all level 1 high-ranking officials walking at night, how could they dare to stand in their way and pay respects?

Li Hongzhang was silently pondering in the palmetto and did not bother with these small fries!

"Bidens, oh Bidens! I've solved such a big problem for you, you owe me a huge favor! Hehe, it's good to have the Chinese goblin mixed in, otherwise, it would be hard for us Chinese to gain any power! "

"This Daqing has existed for 200 years. The military power of us Chinese have been suppressed to such an extent that it's hard for us to do anything now. After 200 years, it's time for us to make a comeback!"

"The Master is right, the most secure is the situation of the Tripod Commerce. If the Han people want to rise to power, they have to actively accept the foreign power!"

"Hong Xiuquan and the rest did not understand this logic, so they lost too miserably! We can't do the same! "

A battle between two tigers was the most terrifying situation, but a battle between the three tigers was more interesting!

Many people in the late Qing shouted that they wanted to drive the power of the Chinese goblin out of the China, but many elite Chinese Politicians did not think the same way.

Perhaps their mouths were shouting ferociously, but their actual actions were completely different!

In the end, it was all because of the Manchu's two hundred years of centralization of power, especially the military centralization of power.

Without a spear to shout through his mouth, he wanted to turn over and not be suppressed? That was a dream!

Ceng Guofan and Xiao Letian understood the big picture very clearly. Was it really because of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom?

Yes! No!

Indeed, because the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom had been hit by the eight flags without being able to react, the decaying Manchu could only rely on the Chinese military equipment!

However, that was just the beginning of the war. Later stage Manchu was also learning the new military system, they also bought more Speargun s, they also trained in the new weapons, and because they were controlling the court, they trained even more!

If we follow the traditional script in the China, after the long hair has calmed down, it would definitely be time to kill the dog!

The Manchu would never allow the Chinese warlord to do anything big. Once the rebellion was settled, they would immediately destroy the Chinese armed forces.

It was just another civil war, they would definitely be able to do it!

But the epoch had changed, and today was different from the past! The Qing Dynasty was not the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, Ceng Guofan and the rest had already seen a huge force that they could borrow!

That was the power of the foreigners!

If the Daqing did not open her kingdom, then after the peace of the country, the Manchu Empire would seize power, and this would even turn into a civil war!

However, at this moment, the country's gates had already opened. The foreign power had infiltrated into the country, causing everyone to feel a chill in their hearts.

The war for hegemony between the two countries had become a Three Kingdoms act!

This would be interesting, even if they were to do as they pleased, they would never let a single side grow alone. Manchu would unite with Chinese goblin, and Chinese warlord would do the same!

The European also understood the principle of betting on left and right, the game had already been messed up, this was the true strength game of the epoch!

Li Hongzhang let out a long sigh as he muttered to himself within the palmetto, "Master and Xiao Letian are still ranked higher than me! People are using the world as a chessboard on cloth, but what about me? And you are still in the midst of falling into depravity in Daqing! "

"Now you're going to do this kind of threatening and tempting dirty work? Damn it... "How boring …"

Jumping, Li Hongzhang kicked the palmetto. "Turn around!" I heard that there is a private restaurant in Inner City that had pretty good food prepared by a woman called Sai Shishi? "

"Tonight, I will go there to drink wine … "Not leaving until you're drunk!"

Originally, Li Hongzhang had rented a house in the South of the City, but when he mentioned that he wanted to go to Sai Shishi's room, the sedan bearer turned around and walked towards the north!

When he passed the station house once again, Li Hongzhang subconsciously looked in the direction of Ge Deng's house, "Don't tell me this Ge Deng only has these few moves? Why do I have this kind of eerie feeling, this Kid definitely has a trick up his sleeve! "

"Forget it, whatever moves you use later on have nothing to do with me. Let them fight the Bidens! Let me take a neutral look at the situation first... "Damn, I have to play with women a lot these days!"

Sai Shishi had already become the most popular courtesan in the Capital, not only because of her heroic actions to flee for more than half of the China, but also because of the fight that and Chenberger had fought for her!

The people of Beijing loved to flatter and praise others and thus, Sai Shishi's little yard had instantly become a treasured land that the Official s had to visit!

Three months had passed since the appointment of the wine and the appointment for the performance. The private dishes that usually cost fifty taels a table had now been raised to two hundred taels!

Two hundred taels of silvers was enough for an ordinary family of three to eat for three to four years, but in the end, it was merely the noodles for eighteen dishes on a table with Sai Shishi!

And these two hundred silver taels, you can only ask Sai Shishi to come over and drink a cup of tea with you. It's impossible to even drink wine with you, let alone sing songs or spend the night!

Sai Shishi was already the best in the Capital!

However, this kind of popular person, would not even dare to raise his tail when he met a warlord like Li Hongzhang. When the gatekeeper heard that the Huai Jun's Great Commander had come, he was so scared that he piss his pants off and sent a letter inside.

Not long later, Sai Shishi, whose face was completely flushed, came out to welcome him!

Sai Shishi's courtyard had four tables placed today, respectively in the east and west wing and two tables in the main hall.

There was no one below the fourth rank who drank with him and the Trader s were all worth millions!

In these four tables, Sai Shishi felt as if he was wearing a butterfly, he came to the East wing to toast to them, and then he went to the west wing to play the zither.

It was no wonder that Sai Shishi was trained by the Jasmine Mama Sang.

In just half a night, she had already collected over a thousand silver dollar. From the looks of it, even without her sleeping with her, she would be able to earn over 2000 silver dollar!

Sai Shishi wrote down everything in his notebook. Amongst the four tables, there were those who were talking about official business, those who were selling official business, and those who were spending money to find Ministry of Justice's White Duck to replace the dead man.

Sai Shishi was just a broker. In reality, these 2000 taels were not money from the liquor, but the commission from the broker!

"Pah …" To let the Old Mother build a business, did she still want to sleep in the Old Mother later on? "Are you worthy of …"

Just as she was cursing, the door suddenly ran in like a wisp of smoke, and went close to Sai Shishi's ear and whispered, "GIRL! Huai Jun's Li Hongzhang is here, I'm calling GIRL for a drink! "

"AHH!" Does he like this too? " Sai Shishi did not dare to delay and put down the wineglass filled to the brim by Ministry of Justice's assistant minister and rushed out like a swarm of bees.
