Xiang Ying is not against the master's fortress plan, but in his heart he still admires the Tanggu Special Economic Zone, which is located in the Bohai Bay, and has now become the first industrial center in Asia, known as the Ruhr of the East.

It produced 20 years of steel production in the Qing Dynasty a year, and all kinds of cheap machinery manufacturing products almost shocked the handicraftsmen of northern China.

To take the simplest example, the iron nail factory invested by Qing Sanye has reached a quarter of the total sales volume of the Qing Dynasty.

High-quality and low-cost products began to be dumped in the Qing Dynasty, and the prices of these industrial products were much cheaper than foreign goods due to the saving of sea freight, and the quality was much better than that of hand-made goods.

As a result, the production and sales of the special industrial zone are booming, and every day the inns in Tanggu are crowded with distributors from all provinces in the Qing Dynasty.

The Tanggu Special Economic Zone has been a great economic success, and the military achievements are even more praised by Xiang Ying, and the entire Tanggu Special Economic Zone has been renamed the Northern Industrial Special Zone.

Now the scope of the special zone has begun to expand to the north to Kaiping and Guye, where coal mines will be the most surging driving force of the special industrial zone.

Such a super-large special zone is already quite the size of a large county, but such a large area is not ambiguous in terms of military defense.

The dense tree wall has become a forest, and the trees are separated by barbed wire, and ordinary people cannot climb at all, and beyond the tree wall, there is a deep river filled with water.

Within the tree walls, tall watchtowers stand every two kilometers, and these gray-white concrete bunkers watch the every move outside, and no one wants to smuggle in.

All the waterway passes are heavily garrisoned, and the defense system is comparable to the defense line of the Marne River during World War I, not to mention the soldiers of the Qing Dynasty, I am afraid that it will be difficult for a rabbit to rush through.

The Northern Industrial Special Zone has achieved success in both economic and military aspects, not to mention the popular sentiments, and it is clear that the Special Economic Zone has become a paradise in their minds when they look at the displaced people gathered at Xishuimen every day.

Time will tell, as long as the Chinese people fight steadily, each special zone is destined to become a gold mine for the Chinese people, whether it is economic, military, or popular competition, it can achieve miraculous results.

It is said that no one should question such a perfect plan, but it is a pity that Xiang Ying is one, and he put forward his own opinion on the fortress plan.

In the morning breeze, Xiao Letian's guards felt the strangeness of the atmosphere, and they took the initiative to expand the cordon without the Führer's order, standing at those corners and hatches on the foredeck, whispering to prevent others from approaching the Führer.

The entire foredeck became a place for Xiao Lotian and Xiang Ying to talk privately.

"Master...... I don't question your plan, I just don't think it's complete...... The last key link is missing, and that is how to overthrow the Manchus!"

"No, there are no detailed and concrete steps, and the plan stops at the moment when it comes to winning the hearts and minds of the people, so are we only fighting for the hearts and minds of the people and not making actual changes?"

"Forever compete for the hearts and minds of the people, but don't consider overthrowing this damn dynasty? The fortress plan is a necessary process for our Chinese people to accumulate strength, but one day we will have to start when our strength is enough!"

"You have to plan for a rainy day! How should we overthrow this Manchu Qing, when, and in what way! You must have a plan......

Xiang Ying gritted his teeth and said ruthlessly, "I'll find it clear! I'm not afraid that you will be angry, master, I know that my master was unwilling to start a civil war in the Central Plains Continent from the beginning, and you always hope to use peaceful means to change the dynasty in China!"

"But it's unrealistic! it's really unrealistic...... Immortal people don't shed blood, those vampires won't step down on their own!"

"Here, I suggest that the fortress plan be revised to include the ultimate task of overthrowing the Manchus, and at least the time......

"That's enough! Are you teaching me how to govern the country?" Xiao Lotian suddenly became furious.

Xiang Ying's face suddenly turned from blood red to pale, "Don't dare! Everything I have is taught by my master, how dare I be so offended!"

Xiao Letian's chest rose and fell violently, he really couldn't do anything about this stubbornness, although the old saying goes, 'stubborn is not defeated', but if stubbornness is angry, it will really make people angry.

But Xiao Letian knows better that what Xiang Ying said is not his own thoughts, but actually the true thoughts of a large number of people in the Chinese community.

There are countless people in the Chinese who hate the Manchus, and there are only a handful of people like Xiao Letian who can jump out of hatred and look at problems from God's perspective.

This is also a force, and it can't be suppressed by suppression alone!

Xiao Letian calmed down, and after half a minute, he said, "The child is here, it seems that I won't reveal some details to you, are you going to annoy me endlessly?"

"Well, I can tell you that the plan to overthrow the Manchu Qing has been in place for a long time, and it is ...... here," Xiao Letian said and tapped his head with his finger.

"Child, I said a long time ago that our goal is to overthrow the Manchu Qing Dynasty and not be able to smash the pots and jars in the Chinese family, especially Mongolia, Xinjiang, Tibet, and Guanwai, the four huge territories, and we must eat them in our stomachs!"

"It's a very big project, it's not that simple! Why don't I make a plan? Because there are two obstacles that haven't been solved yet!"

"What obstacles?" asked Xiang Ying nervously.

"The first one is inside the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and now there are still a few hard bones among them, and if you really use military means to persecute them, these hard bones may be burned with you!"

"We must let them take the initiative to hand over their power, and we must let them write an abdication edict with legal effect, only in this way can we hold the legal inheritance of the above four pieces of land in our hands!"

"I've said this question many times, I don't want to repeat it to you, I just tell you that it's not the time yet, the last bit of elite talent has not been consumed, we still have to wait for the opportunity!"

"The second enemy...... It's the British!"

Xiao Letian's eyes swept over the British ** ship on the sea, and said coldly: "Britain! Britain...... This is a mountain that we can't get around in our rise, if we don't have the strength to draw with the British, then don't dream of overthrowing the Manchus militarily!"

"Unrealistic, really unrealistic!"

patted Xiang Ying on the shoulder, Xiao Letian said earnestly, "One you, one Zaichun, these are the two ...... that all my disciples worry about the most."

"Xiang Ying, remember, Zaichun is not stupid, he is just young...... Do you think he won't have his own little abacus when he comes to England this time? hehe...... Maybe he can get more support from the British than we do!"

"Britain will do everything possible to curb the rise of our Chinese nation, and what is the best way to do it? Maybe it is to support the Qing Dynasty to restrain and resist us...... Have you thought of all of this?"

Xiang Ying's face changed: "Master, do you mean that Jae Chun may sign a separate agreement with Britain behind your back?"

"What are you doing behind my back? He is the emperor of the Great Qing Dynasty, and he has the right to sign some agreements in the name of the right, can I manage it? It doesn't matter what is pro-government or not, as long as the British recognize him as the emperor, it means that Zaichun has become pro-government!"

"This little bastard!" Xiang Ying smashed his fist on the bulletproof steel plate on the side of the main gun.
