Hidden Dragon in Qing Dynasty

Since ancient times, the White Tiger Division had been in charge of military affairs, so the main hall was also known as the White Tiger Festival Hall, while the big tent of the Governor General, who was in foreign combat, was also known as the White Tiger Festival Hall.

Zuo Zongtang was in the big tent in Gan Shan and the big hall of Ceng Guofan's Jinling City. All of the soldiers were emitting a heavy killing intent, and countless of heads were falling off.

From start to finish, Ceng Guofan had self-proclaimed that he was a scholar controlling the army, his style was always gentle and refined. Even though everyone was afraid of him, it was difficult to find a time when Ceng Guofan was furious and strict during normal work.

Even when the war to suppress the long-haired man was at its worst, he would only sigh and feel depressed. He had never been one to vent his anger on others by glaring at them and swearing at them.

But today, the Great Marshal Zeng's face was ashen. After every order was issued, they would fiercely threaten the other party, saying "Come meet me if you want to apologize". In any case, that would mean that if something bad happened to you, you would lose your life.

The marshal would not joke around. Everyone gathered their energy and went back to reorganize the troops.

"Changjiang River, Jinling has been familiar with this place since today. All the bandits and robbers were killed... "In accordance with the discipline of the military in wartime …"

"The water army of Taihu Lake patrol the surface of the river day and night …" If you meet me, I will kill you without mercy! "

"Zhenjiang, Yangzhou, Taizhou, Changzhou, Zhenjiang, Wuxi, Suzhou, Huzhou …" All the defenders were on high alert, cooperating with the locals to severely punish those who dared to act against them … "Long Hair, Remnant Sins, Twisted Army must not be spared. Even the local thugs have to be beaten up for me …"

"Pass my command down …" "Jiang Nan will do it for three months!"

The great marshal of the White Tiger Courtyard roared incessantly. In the end, everything converged into a single sentence: "The great marshal feels that this place is not peaceful and needs to be punished severely for three months!"

Hong Ling rushed over to all the counties of Jiangnan and all the telegraph room s started clattering. The battle at Jiangnan, especially in the Taihu Valley, had officially started over the past three months.

It was only now that he realized the marshal's true control over Jiangnan. No matter if it was the civil or military officials who had put down all their work, they were all pouring their experiences into the public order.

No one will collect taxes. Your shop won't be able to get away anyways, and no one will be able to manage the water conservancy. In any case, it's still early in the flood season and the local yamen runners are everywhere.

Even villages had to register and towns had to be taken care of. Not to mention bandits, even thugs and rascals on the streets had to suffer greatly. In this severe beatings, even giving gifts was not of much use.

The Zhenjiang County Order first invented the signing system. As long as the neighbors decided that someone was a loafer, then I'm sorry. I'll register them and go to the constable's office everyday to sign them and prove that you're honest today.

If you do not appear for three days, then I am sorry. Xiang Army will personally bring some servants over to invite you, and when the time comes, even if you do not die, you will at least lose a layer of skin.

This was the last time he displayed his might, he wanted to frighten those people with other intentions. He wanted to tell them that if I left, you all had to behave. The marshal was going to become the real King of Jiangnan.

That's right, there were many rumors circulating around the region before the Spring Festival that the imperial government wanted Ceng Guofan to head north to become their Viceroy.

The messages flew around, and with the big commotion after the new year, the entire Jiangnan City was once again filled with rumors.

In the Jinling's White Tiger Courtyard, Ceng Guofan and his most talented brother Ceng Guoquan sat together. The generals had given their orders and left the hall only leaving behind two elders.

Ceng Guofan felt as though all the energy in his body had been sucked out, and sighed: "Hopefully nothing will happen, nothing will happen to me, as an old bones like me, I can't bear to go back to normal …"

This time, Jiu Shuai was less arrogant than usual, "What is this Xiao Letian trying to do? Why did he bring His Majesty here? "You scared me so much that I even sent away the eagle. Now, I can only trust in these unyielding descendants …"

"Xiao Letian is giving me a hard time! I heard from Hu Xueyan that his majesty had already been taught by Xiao Letian to a few demon-level characters, I was afraid of that, because no one can guess what the demon is thinking … "

"Last year, His Majesty showed off his skills in the Ryukyu and was really beautiful. He went to the Beijing and gave birth to 300 children. But he thought about it and ended up making a fool of himself. They nodded their heads, shook their heads, and suffered a loss …"

Ceng Guofan laughed coldly, "Suffer? That group of bastards would not admit defeat, so they have to train new soldiers faster, steal the secret recipe for the bonds, and even Ci Xi threatened us, wanting to borrow Western Army to suppress us! "

"Every single one of them is like dogs protecting their food. Anyone who dares to touch their food plates will fight with their life! "I've grinded through more than two hundred years of wild nature, how could I still not grind it up …"

Jiu Shuai laughed: "This is just like an eagle, it's unruly and hard to tame. But after 200 years of Confucianism nourishing it, I don't believe that there won't be a lotus flower growing in this muddy pool." If we want all of this to fit in, I have already seen through it. It's impossible to use just the army, but we have to split a few different races from the Manchu's system. Only by doing this can we not disgrace ourselves and slowly take over the position … "

Ceng Guofan laughed: "Isn't this the same as you always are, didn't you always believe in spearmanship?"

Jiu Shuai sighed, "It was all because of Xiao Letian that he caused such trouble, I am truly impressed by his actions in Japan. If the bloody battles in Europe had proven that he was a qualified commander, I do not think it is strange, because there are too many generals that can fight in this world."

"But he can actually use the effort of grinding water to reform a country! "Even though it's just a small Japan, I have a whole new level of respect for him. His actions in Japan are like a poison plot against the bottom of one's heart. In less than three to four years, he will be able to take away more than half of the Japanese elite …"

"Talent is the foundation of a country. That is the flame in the heart of a country. If a person is sucked clean, can the furnace in Japan still flourish?"

"The universities of the Ryukyu have opened their doors to the Japanese elite, the armies of the Ryukyu have also provided the opportunity for the ambitious warriors of the Japan, and the large amount of investment by the Fusang Bank in Japan is enough to confuse the Japanese citizens …"

"In three to four years, Japan will definitely have a trend. Even the most talented people will have to come out of the Ryukyu, and the Ryukyu will definitely offer a price that these people will not be able to reject …"

"When those people realized that only by following Xiao Letian could they realize their dreams and display their abilities, how many people do you think would be able to go back?"

"Exquisite oh, using one hand to extract wealth from the Fusang Bank and the other hand to kidnap talents with higher education and employment opportunities, what an awesome scheme!" I am really looking forward to it now, I want to see how our Emperor has been taught by Xiao Letian … "
