Hidden Dragon in Qing Dynasty

After that small lesson, Xiao Letian did not give any other small lessons for more than half a month. Everyone was depressed and hung up, especially the little emperor who had been working exceptionally hard since that day in his military training. The eleven year old child, Taro Shimadzu, had originally given him some care, but Zai Chun did not want anything.

A child of eleven years old and a child of seventeen or eighteen years old were undergoing military training of the same intensity. If not for Dragon Lord giving him Chinese medicine to recuperate his body, Zai Chun would have been exhausted long ago.

His studies were top-notch among all the emperors of the Qing Dynasty, but the difference in his body was also very famous. Wild history said that Zai Chun died from Flower Willow Disease, and the true history said that Zai Chun died of smallpox.

No matter how much he died, just look at the portrait of the Zai Chun Emperor that was left behind by the later generations.

Thanks to these three months of military training, when the summer heat wave had swept across Ryukyu, Tongzhi had already changed. His skin was black and his body was strong, and some muscles could be seen on his arms.

But during this period of time, Zai Chun's mental state was not good, the terrible situation of the Ming Dynasty's destruction was still lingering in her dreams. Many times, he had dreamt that the Hall of Supreme Harmony would collapse, countless thugs would rush into the Forbidden City and kill all the people inside, while he himself hanged himself on the top of the mountain like Chong Zhen.

What was even weirder was that in his dreams, his Master Weng Tonghe, whom he had always trusted, had suddenly become an executioner with a butcher's blade in his hand.

A child over ten years of age was exactly the period when his outlook on life was being shaped. At this age, who knew if it was his luck to meet Xiao Letian or not.

Shang Tai was equally shocked. He did not read much of the Confucian classics during this period of time and had instead read all kinds of Xiao Letian's lecture notes painstakingly. Most of his private visits he made were to meet with merchants.

and the other university students who were about to leave the country, even more so, forgot to eat and sleep to study during this period. During the final preparation period before leaving the country, they all held various small vows in series, even made blood oaths to return together, and used their own strength to fight against those bureaucrats.

The Prime Minister has already said, thought is immortal, no matter good thought or bad thought is eternal in the human society. All we have to do is strive to make good thought the dominant position of society.

"To put it more clearly, we, the newly awakened scholars, must work hard to be good at ourselves, make our group more powerful, make our influence more and more powerful. We are the role models. Let everyone see for themselves just who we should trust."

"I swear that during the period of studying abroad, I will not be greedy of the prosperity of foreign countries, will not relax my desire to study, will not waver in my loyalty to the prime minister, and will not be tainted by all the filth of bureaucratic thoughts …"

"I swear, I will do my best to work hard for the revival of the nation. I will burn myself to illuminate others …"

In the classrooms, various small societies were gathered together, swearing in the candlelight. The day of their departure was approaching.

Maybe it was because of the students' intentions, but the Prime Minister's private lesson records were actually spread out. Before leaving Ryukyu, Hu Xueyan held onto the thick stack of written documents, and cried like a child.

Every word from the political figures was extremely important, so since ancient times, emperors, including future presidents and the like, had to be careful of their words and actions.

Perhaps the President would be able to talk big, but a real leader of the military might not be able to say a single word.

Because all of these things will become evidence for the citizens to guess your governance, the speech in Xiao Letian's small class has already determined the future pattern of Ryukyu's mercantilism. All the merchants in East Asia who heard it were elated.

Reusing merchants would definitely help them. Actually, Xiao Letian didn't need to help them excessively, as long as his army could provide them with protection, it would be fine. Sometimes, merchants only needed a bit of safety.

As soon as Hu Xueyan returned to Jiangnan, he began to secretly link up with his close merchants. According to intelligence sent by the spies in the Discipline Hall, after seeing the words of the Prime Minister, the countless Big Merchant in Jiangnan cried like children. A thousand years of grievances have been completely washed away today.

Many merchants began to send their clan's core members to the Ryukyu to inspect. During this period of time, Manager Fan Lian had been so busy that his feet didn't even touch the ground, and countless of companions were invited to the daily banquet.

Hearing was believing, but seeing was believing, Jiang Nan's rich merchants had already tried to move to Ryukyu at that time. After that, under Xiao Letian's secret order, they set up a naval live ammunition drill, and the Shouli City fired three cannons consecutively.

Battleships, turrets and the battle cries of the new army were earth-shattering. The toughness of the new army left the merchants from all over the world dumbstruck. During the training, there was even a foreign merchant ship saluting with cannon salutes.

All the merchants were dispelled by the reality. The God of Fortune in Jiangnan had just gone through a campaign against the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, and now was a time of cowardice. Many people were trying to move their wealth to Shanghai.

However, at that time, the Chinese people were not as passionate and charming as they were after noon. Compared to the Shanghai Concession, the Ryukyu s of the same species were much more attractive.

Suddenly, all sorts of merchants were gathered in Ryukyu. The air of wealth on the streets was enough to cause one to fall flat on their knees, and a strange case that occurred last June further solidified the confidence of the Jiangnan merchants.

On June 10, Shanghai Road Station's Chen Qiyuan sent troops to intercept the Satin Cargo Cargo Cargo Cargo Cargo of the Liu family in the Yangtze River, and found two hundred thousand yuan worth of tobacco soil in the cabin. The Liu family was charged with the crime of smuggling of the tobacco soil.

Shanghai Road would interrogate the seven shopkeepers in the Liu Family, but neither would she interrogate them. She would only be locked up in her cell for the rest of her days, and if the Liu Family went to interrogate them, they would use the fact that they were investigating as an excuse.

The Liu family knew that this was an excuse from the Dao Tai to bribe them.

In the end, he didn't expect that giving away the silver would result in a crime, so why did Chen Qiyuan reprimand him for bribing the innocent in anger? This is even more proof that your Liu family is unforgivable in their smuggling of tobacco.

This time, he was going to be tortured. The shopkeeper and the Liu family's young master were beaten into a bloody mess. He knew that the Liu family had almost broken down their family and only then did they find out the truth.

It turned out that not only did the Dao Tai have his eyes on the Liu Family's money, he also had his eyes on the eldest son's wife.

The Grand Preceptor of the Liu family died in grief and indignation. Before his death, he shouted three times for being wronged and died with grievances.

The Liu family was not the mega-merchant of Jiangnan, and their family's property was no more than one million eight hundred thousand. In the eyes of the Dao Tai, such a merchant was but a small ant, and even if he were crushed to death, he would only be known by the people in a city.

So what if his reputation was bad? After getting the silver, he left the place loudly. At other places, he was still the lord of the Qing government.

The message from the late Qing was sent very late, the local officials were 90% certain that they would not spread it. Many middle-class families were exterminated, and even the neighboring prefectures and counties might not know about it, so the local officials were very daring at that time.

Generally speaking, the Liu Family's grievances would not be spread out, the dust was real, the bribes were real, the Dao Tai's punishment was too severe, who could blame your family for dying from illness?

At the end of June, there was a battleship with the Ryukyu Royal Flag and the "Xiao" character on it. It was the Roman that was seized, and under the command of Sima Yun and, the battleship forcefully broke into the four hundred new troops and charged into the Great Qing Empire's land.

The soldiers of the Qing Dynasty were scared crazy, the new army of the Ryukyu was already a myth in their hearts, even the foreign people were not their opponents, how could they resist? If the capital was lost, how could a small Shanghai defend itself?

There was no resistance at all. Among the two blue torrents, one went to the rented area to negotiate with the foreigners, while the other went straight to the Dao Tai Yamen and trapped the smoking Dao Tai Lord on his bed.

"With a share of the Jiangnan Liu family's silk business, what rights does the Shanghai Road have to punish the assets of our Ryukyu? The silver you took from the Liu Family is worth a large portion of our Letian Firm, how dare you … "

"Prime Minister's order, the interests of the merchants of the Ryukyu are sacred and inviolable. Even if it is to be judged, we Ryukyu will have to judge it …" "Now, you better let them go obediently!"

Just as Lin's bayonet rushed into the Dao Tai Palace, the smoking Dao Tai immediately peed his pants. The Colt in Luo Huo's hands struck at the head of the Grand Master, and the Rat Elder immediately kneeled on the ground, answering any questions.

The mature and steady Sima Yun blocked the entrance to the rent area. The one facing him was the English and French officer who reprimanded him for being harsh on his words, but in exchange, he received Sima Yun's smile and replied with a proficient English.

"My dear friends, we are here to protect our friends. Shanghai Road robbed the property of the Ryukyu, so of course we want to seek justice. Please be assured Master Yang, this is the internal affairs of the Chinese people, it will absolutely not harm your interests …"

Many of the soldiers behind Sima Yun were European Expeditionary forces, and some of them even teased him in English, "Hey …" Friend on the other side, are you French? I've been to the Besanthus, and I've even tasted your French wine, but I'm sorry, we didn't pay … "

French soldiers's nose was crooked. The fight at the Fa Li border was a humiliation to France, and these despicable Chinese people had thrown salt on their wounds.

However, a loss was a loss. Xiao Letian's new army was extremely famous in Europe, and their combat power had already reached the pinnacle of the world. They hoped that the police and soldiers in Shanghai would not be their match.

Four hours later, the new army started to retreat. They took away all the Liu family members in the cell, as well as witnesses and testimony. The new army did not apprehend Lord Dao Tai.

Luo Huo patted the Dao Tai Lord's face and said, "Go home and listen. Don't forget that the king is by the side of the prime minister.

The new army was not met with any resistance. They marched through the city, boarded a warship, and left Shanghai. Three days later, the whole of Jiangnan exploded.
