People are selfish, as the saying goes, cutting off people's financial routes is like killing their parents, and reform is always to cut off the financial routes of the old ones and make way for the new ones, this kind of social change is inherently very cruel.

If the imperial court wants to build a telegraph line, then millions of post station soldiers across the country will have to be laid off.

If the imperial court wants to build a railway network, then the tens of millions of people who eat the bowl of rice of the Grand Canal will have to go bankrupt, and the two gangs of the salt trough will have to rebel against this imperial court, don't forget that the Youth Gang has always been a very powerful force in modern China, and the revolutionary party led by Sun Yat-sen did not owe favors to the Qing Gang, and even many Kuomintang bigwigs themselves were the bosses of the Green Gang.

Is it really that easy to smash the old industry? Not to mention that there are still countless roots of those in power infiltrating these stale industries, and the Manchu nobles and Han ministers have not directly or indirectly absorbed nutrients from here?

Now Ci'an wants to carry out reforms, and he wants to support the reformers, which can poke the lungs of the nobles, why are you waiting for your life if you don't play with you?

Cixi smashed desperately, scolded desperately, the two princes were pale and did not say a word, they knew very well in their hearts that Ci'an's conditions were easy to say, even if they gave Fuqing a high-ranking official, it didn't matter, but it would not work to carry out reform, because reform would smash other people's jobs.

"What kind of medicine did Ci'an take wrong? I think it's Fuqing's little white face that fascinates her, I just saw it, and there is definitely a ghost in the eyes of these two people...... Damn, we didn't wronged him at all..."Yi said fiercely.

Yi Xun also changed his face at this time, and he was no longer confused as before, "Yes, Ci'an doesn't want to go back to the Forbidden City and wants to stay in Jingshan, it is estimated that it has something to do with this, this pair of dog men and women may not be able to mess around during this time, it is really embarrassing, and it will ruin the face of the imperial court......"

"Queen Mother, what should we do now? We can't agree to Ci'an's conditions at all, and the Great Dynasty will not be able to figure it out at all, even if we agree, the other Manchu and Han ministers can't agree...... However, if you don't agree, do we still have to continue fighting? Then Xiao Lotian is going to kill him......"

Yi's question made the three people present a dead silence, thinking about Xiao Letian's elusive and unadulterating ideas, all the people present shuddered.

To be honest, the imperial court didn't believe that Xiao Lotian had the strength to overthrow the Qing Dynasty, a small Ryukyu Kingdom, an army of more than 2,000 people, no matter how powerful it was, how powerful could it be?

The imperial court just wanted to save face, so it didn't send a large army to crusade, if it really used the Hunan army or the Huai army, even if it was the Guanwai Mongolian army, it could easily annihilate Xiao Letian.

But Xiao Letian, a-stirring stick, has too many tricks to disgust people. Xiao Lotian has a navy, this kid can retreat to the sea to be a pirate, and desperately stir along the coastline of the Qing Dynasty, who can stand this?

In addition, Xiao Letian has an unusually close relationship with foreigners, just look at the ambiguity of the Americans towards Xiao Letian, if they don't have a greasy behind them, they will be hell, and the current Qing Dynasty's fear of foreigners has long been seared into the bone marrow.

The most worrying, of course, are Xiao Letian's demagogic tricks, newspapers, leaflets, and painting walls...... From the city of Beijing to the countryside of Zhili, he did not let go of any place where there were people.

The people may let it be done, but they cannot know it. Isn't it nonsense that you let the untouchables at the bottom know that the state is hidden? What treaty the emperor signed has a fart relationship with the common people, how can the people know about the imperial court indemnity?

is this kind of-stirring stick method that is almost a scoundrel, and the beating Manqing is dizzy, although they don't say anything, they have a deep fear of Xiao Letian, almost everyone.

Just when the main hall was silent, An Dehai suddenly walked in quickly, "Empress Dowager Qi, Weng Tong Weng Zhongtang asked to see him, saying that there are 100,000 urgent intelligence ......"

"Hmm, that's not messy enough, don't mess with him as a Wenchen...... Let's see each other..."

Cixi is an old man who saw him in the Palace of Nourishing Hearts, and the Dongnuan Pavilion is really too messy, and the eunuchs are cleaning it up.

"Say hello to the queen mother, please say hello to the prince...... "After seeing the ceremony, the old man went straight to the topic, "Queen Mother, why don't you see Mailer? Although Mailer was defeated, after all, he fought against Xiao Letian twice, and it is good to listen to his experience..."

"When Wei Chen went home, he happened to see the escorted Mailer, and when the minister saw that he had something to say, he had one more mouth, but he didn't expect that Mailer actually had a treasure on him, and he had a note detailing the weaknesses of Xiao Letian's new army..."

The old man took out the fold and handed it over, and the three of Cixi knew that they had made a mistake at a glance, "Oh, this is the mourning family is confused, I knew that Maile had this fold, how could the mourning family have to give him a chance to speak......"

Yi and Yi Xun said almost in unison, "Old man, don't waste time, you can say what you think......"

Weng Tongyi said coldly, "The Empress Dowager Dong is so tough, maybe she really ordered Xiao Letian to enter Beijing, Li Shaoquan did the right thing, set up an ambush between Tanggu and Wuqing, and waited for work to wait for work, as long as Xiao Letian's new army was defeated, Ci'an's reliance would naturally ......be gone."

"Xiao Letian has few soldiers, but they are very strong, I am afraid that the three thousand people in Li Shaoquan's hands are not enough, let's transfer troops from Beijing, how many are mobilized, we will drown him with a sea of people......"

"And didn't you say on this fold, Xiao Letian doesn't have cavalry, then let's send cavalry, and all the war horses in the capital will be used together, even if the cavalry is not enough, we will trample on the war horses......"

Speaking of this, Weng Tongyi's eyes showed a hint of ruthlessness, "If it still doesn't work, then recruit local people, 10,000 is not enough, 20,000, 20,000 is not enough, 50,000, I don't believe that Xiao Lotian can't be drowned..."

Hiss, there was a gasp in the hall, and no one would have thought that Weng Tongyi, a civil official, would be so ruthless?

"Old ...... Old man... This is a bit inappropriate...... "In the end, even the two princes couldn't listen to it.

"Isn't it appropriate? After Xiao Letian's Western studies swept the world, when China became a country of birds and beasts, it would be too late to regret it... What is Western learning? It is nothing more than teaching people to fight with heaven and earth, and to fight with their kind, and what they believe in is nothing more than the respect of the strong, and if all the people believe in these things, then our society will not become a ghost......

"Wechen is not killing for profit, Wechen is killing people for the sake of the world's avenue......" The words did not fall, only to hear a rumbling thunder outside the hall, and the heavy rain that Sister Wu said finally came at this moment.

To the west of Tianjin Wei, the sky was overcast, it was already past twelve o'clock, but the weather was gloomy and almost torches, a blue dragon was rolling forward in the field, and the villages on both sides of the long dragon were dead silent.

"All units hurriedly sent people to collect tarpaulins...... It's about to rain, and everyone wraps up ammunition and grenades...... Distribute cloaks, and take ...... quickly from all units in shifts"

"No hot food at noon...... There is a food supply point three miles ahead, one person has a dry noodle cake, and one person hears the canned meat, so he drinks cold water......"

"Accelerate Acceleration...... Hurry up... The distance from Tianjin to Beijing is only 130 kilometers, and from now on, it will take six hours to march in a hurry, and when it gets dark, we will see the city wall of Beijing......"

"Brothers...... Don't let this breath out in your heart...... Whether it rains or knives, the new army can only move forward, and it will always move forward......"

The officers in the ranks were boosting morale, and the coming rainstorm had not stopped the New Army, but had only boosted the morale of the soldiers.

Xiao Letian galloped around the long dragon, and every time his figure appeared, he could be exchanged for bursts of wild shouts, and no one would doubt victory with him.

"Brothers, break the city of Beijing, I invite you to a big dinner...... We used to travel thousands of miles across the world, but now do we still care about the more than 100 kilometers......?

"Wan Sheng... Hooray...", there was a burst of jubilation in the procession.

At this moment, Wang Huaiyuan rode his horse in front and ran over, "My lord, and I haven't received any carrier pigeons for an hour, the atmosphere is not right, is there something wrong?"

"My lord, the information is unknown now, we don't know where Li Hongzhang's Huai army is, I'm afraid it's dangerous to go so rashly......"

Before Xiao Letian could speak, a faint white light suddenly lit up in the clouds in the west, and after a while, there was a distant thunder rolling.

Xiao Lotian pondered for a moment, "It should be caused by bad weather, this is our mistake, after all, carrier pigeons are animals, not people, and they will definitely avoid bad weather..."

At this time, a fast horse suddenly came running from the west, which was one of the few rangers in the new army, specially used to patrol the battlefield.

"Report to the Prime Minister, there was a sudden rainstorm in Wuqing County ahead, and the hooves of the war horses were softened, and the ground was full of mud, so they couldn't run at all...... Please instruct me, sir..."

"Damn it......" Xiao Letian scolded, "Narrow the warning circle, don't stop unnecessary non-combat attrition, and move forward with the army......"

When Wang Huaiyuan heard this, he stretched out his hand and grabbed the reins of the war horse, "My lord, no, the information is unknown, we can't rush to death, and fighting is not child's play......"

"Fart... Lao Tzu still uses you to teach me? I don't understand the principle of intelligence first? But the difficulty we are encountering now is not the battlefield, but the political ...... Do you understand, we are fighting a political battle today..."

"Lao Tzu, the reformers I have supported are about to die, can I not save them? Cixi, that traitorous demon can be restrained except for Ci'an, no one in the entire Qing Dynasty can surrender, can I not save it?"

"Get out of here, even if the army led by Lao Tzu has no intelligence, even if there is a million troops in front, we can kill it...... This is the military soul of the new army, and without victory feeding, the new army will not grow up......"

"You're scared, just get behind and rest......" Xiao Letian said and urged the horse to rush forward, "Brothers...... There may be an enemy ambush ahead, are you afraid?"

No one answered such a stupid question, and there was only one song, the military song of the New Army.
