In Tanggu City, Qing Sanye is definitely an alternative, in this city full of industrial atmosphere and strong Westernization flavor, there are really not many people who drag long braids and wear cheongsam and horse coats in a sedan chair. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

The folk customs have changed, and the people of the Qing Dynasty also have to follow the local customs, many merchants of the Qing Kingdom come here to do business, they all quietly hide their braids, and change into a suit or Western-style casual clothes, put a Western gold pocket watch in the front breast pocket, and tie a long chain to the button, not to mention how trendy it is to go to the street.

Only a businessman dressed up in this way can eat well, be looked up to by others in interpersonal interactions, and people will be willing to do business with you. Moreover, there is now a Western-style carriage factory in Tanggu City, and the light carriage is equipped with several sets of spring shock absorbers, and the delicate bearings reduce friction, so that only one horse can run fast and steady.

Who still uses a sedan chair these days? It is narrow and stuffy, and the four sedan chair drivers are tired and snoring, and they can't run fast, and the cold wind leaks in winter and is hot and humid in summer, and it is no different from a prison.

The most important thing is that the prime minister once said that no one sat in a sedan chair when China was strong since ancient times, and civil officials rode cars and military generals rode horses is the right way.

If you want to have bullock carts and horses, no one cares if you ride a mule all over the streets? Do you have to ride on people?

The idea of the prime minister has been able to influence the values of the Chinese people as a whole, and it is true that people think about it, chariots and horses are more comfortable and fast than sedan chairs, so why not use them and enslave the sedan chair driver?

There is no need to put fast and comfortable carriages and horses, but to use a human-powered sedan chair, which is actually a very specific manifestation of social regression.

The practice of riding in horse-drawn carriages has quickly become popular in the Chinese-controlled area, and Tanggu is an important base of Xiao Letian's territory second only to the Ryukyus, where the people are more civilized and Xiao Letian's ideas are more penetrated.

But Xiao Lotian can fool others, but he can't fool his eldest brother, and he is also the first comrade-in-arms he met when he crossed over, Qing Sanye.

In just a few years, Qing Sanye, who was full of spirit on the mountain road in Yixian County, had aged a lot, and the long black and shiny braid was actually mixed with a few hairs, and the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes had increased, and his eyes showed a trace of fatigue and a trace of confusion.

From the south of the Yangtze River to Tanggu by boat, not two days after disembarking, the shocking news from the Far East came, Hunchun held the secret decree of the Tongzhi Emperor to launch the Heilongjiang Mutiny, and Suona Tepuxin controlled the military and political power of the two provinces.

Xiang Shaolong's Volunteers, who followed him, defeated the Cossack reinforcements and swept away the last trace of Tsarist Russia's military power in this territory. When the news reached the whole city of Tanggu, there was an uproar, and the excited Chinese people walked onto the street with lamps and candles, and gathered into a river of lights in the dark night.

Fireworks erupted above the sea, and the colorful fireworks exploded in the sky, and they could be seen clearly within a radius of dozens of miles.

The hearts of the people in this land have gone farther and farther away from the Qing Dynasty, and the people without braids on the street account for ninety percent, and everyone is shouting Long live the prime minister, long live the Chinese!

At that moment, Qing Sanye saw with his own eyes that the Tongzhi Yamen set up by the Qing Dynasty in Tanggu City was as dim as a haunted mansion, and Zhou Mingkui, the Tongzhi of Tanggu, was probably the most embarrassing official in the Qing Dynasty, and his daily job was to sit in the yamen and do nothing, and every month the Special Administrative Region would allocate him a sum of silver, but he kept a part of it for the officials to be paid silver, and the other part was handed over to the Qing treasury.

That was a humiliation at all, and the official yamen of the Great Qing State had been reduced to the residence of a group of beggars in the eyes of the SAR.

However, the situation is stronger than people, who dares to say a word? This is nominally the land of the Great Qing Dynasty, and the sovereignty is still in the hands of the imperial court, but the right to manage it has long been lost, and what is even more terrifying is that the people's hearts have been lost.

Qing Sanye can't understand the current world, he can't understand the changes in his brother Xiao Letian, before the Chinese code was released, the third master can still risk a little bit of Xiao Letian's routine, the big deal is that Ryukyu is the king and then Fusang, Nanyang grabs some territory, Xiao Lotian is called the king, swallowing the Qing Dynasty He doesn't have such a big appetite.

In fact, at that time, Qing Sanye and many Manchurians were also psychologically prepared, and they were ready to force King Shangtai to step down and become king himself.

Subsequently, some of the daimyo in Fuso bowed down to him and broke away from the control of the shogunate, including many small countries in the South Seas were also conquered by Xiao Lotian.

Maybe in the end, Xiao Letian's wings will harden, and he will break away from the vassal system of the Great Qing State and become independent, maybe he can still be called the emperor or something...... These psychological preparations have already been made by the imperial court, and they know that Xiao Letian can do these things in the end.

But as long as Xiao Letian doesn't get involved in the rivers and mountains of the Great Qing Kingdom, or less in the country, he will get involved in the Special Economic Zone or something...... We also put up with him as emperor, who let the Qing Dynasty have no warships on the sea that can't beat him? Of course, the army can't beat people either.

It is based on this judgment of grand strategy that the imperial court is extremely disgusted and hateful to Xiao Letian, and is eager to cut him with a thousand knives, but strategically Xiao Lotian is really not a great enemy of life and death, and his threat ranking is even after Zeng Guofan.

And everything has changed dramatically since the promulgation of the Chinese Code!

First of all, they couldn't understand what the Chinese code was supposed to do? Let's talk about the constitution of the gentleman, but there was no monarch, and the United States system still retained titles such as nobles and princes.

Such a messy stewed porridge, the Qing Dynasty Hall is completely incomprehensible, this time Qing Sanye, as the prime minister and vice minister of the Yamen, inspected Jiangnan and Ryukyu, in fact, there is a task to carefully study this Chinese system.

Another thing that frightened them was the sudden rise of the Volunteers, although the Far East had been ceded to Tsarist Russia, but the sudden appearance of the Volunteers directly overturned the previous judgment of the imperial court.

Xiao Lotian did not abandon the mainland at all to run the island, he was actually looking for an opportunity to infiltrate the mainland, and Xiao Lotian directly controlled millions of square kilometers of land in the Far East in this war.

This change in strategy made the entire group of Manchurians suddenly overwhelmed, especially Qing Sanye, the reformist among the Manchurians, an elite talent who opened his eyes to the world, and could feel Xiao Letian's aggressive offensive.

There has been a crack in the brotherhood, and the current Tanggu Special Economic Zone is no longer the land of hope for the Qing Dynasty in the past, and the current Tanggu is in his eyes a springboard for Xiao Letian to display his conspiracy.

"Xiao Letian! Xiao Letian...... Are you really going to be my Manchurian enemy? Don't forget that you are also our Manchurian uncle!"

"Turn back, as long as you can turn back, how can the imperial court treat you badly? As long as you are loyal to protect the Qing Dynasty, it will not be difficult to crown you an iron hat king! You have to be the broken prime minister, you are really sick......
