"The absolute centralized monarchy system has come to an end, and the future world must be an era in which decentralization replaces centralization, and civil power forces the imperial power upward...... Do you think I'm going to sit in that crater?"

"Even if I succeed against the sky, how many lives will it take to replace me, and how many will you think there will be in our group?"

"Jiangnan is in the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, Xiao Hexin, Sima Yun, Wang Huaiyuan, you three are all veterans of the Heavenly Kingdom back then, you tell everyone how many people died in the war for more than ten years? No need to be silent, I can tell you that both the enemy and us, plus innocent people, have died more than 100 million!"

"I don't want a throne made of flesh and blood, I Xiao Letian don't have so much luck to step on other people's corpses and go up, so if you want to push me to be the emperor, die that heart as soon as possible!"

Xiao Letian sneered and said, "Do you remember Luo Hao and Wen Xiu I met when I first arrived in Beijing? Now they are just in the Qing Dynasty to help the Intelligence Bureau win over the hearts of the rebel officials, and they have only been to Ryukyu ......once so far."

"Why did I banish them, the literati who had followed me for a long time, out of the core power? Because after I became the prime minister of the Ryukyus, they actually offered me a plan to replace them, first seize the Ryukyus, then enter Taiwan, and then try to take over the Qing Dynasty and replace them after establishing a base area......"

Everyone was stunned, no one thought that there was such a thing back then, and everyone didn't know. Luo Hao and Wen Xiu were subordinates when Xiao Letian Jingshi wrote a manga of the westward journey, and the Douwang division was old Hanlin. According to the time, it is not a few days later than Xiao Hexin and others.

Originally, this kind of person should be a member of Xiao Letian's core power circle, but what is surprising is that Xiao Letian abandoned the two of them out of the inner circle.

"So the root is here?" Xiao Hexin sighed, and the words in his heart did not come out, in fact, Luo Hao and Wen Xiu still have merit, against Wang Shizheng's group of old Hanlin, they did not contribute less. Later, the Intelligence Bureau infiltrated and plotted against the grassroots officials of the Qing Dynasty, and these two also matched.

Now there are more than 140 county officials in the entire Qing Dynasty who have been rebelled, and more than 60 officials at the prefecture and Taiwan level have been rebelled.

Such a credit is because he was banished by Xiao Letian because of a reckless offering, which shows that the prime minister's core strategy must not be shaken, and everyone present has a string in their hearts.

Xiao Letian ignored the change in their faces, and then said: "Don't think I'm alarmist, don't say that the Qing Dynasty, which is now backward, what can even those powerful monarchs in Europe do?

"The French Emperor Napoleon III, now the estrangement between him and the cabinet is very deep, the dissatisfaction of the Mexican War and the Battle of the Ryukyus has made the cabinet of the representatives of the capitalists dissatisfied, the French have woken up from the frenzy of successive victories, and soon these capitalist elites will join forces to contain Napoleon III's path to centralization......"

"Relatively speaking, the Prussian king was slightly better, and the people's loyalty to him was still very high, but even then they had to allow Bismarck, a strong prime minister, to make national policies! All foreign affairs, domestic affairs, and even the direction of the war, had to be planned by Bismarck...... In the end, even the crown prince has to give him a hand, as an ordinary general, what kind of authority is this?"

"Of course, there is the empire on which the sun never sets, and the queen has handed over most of the power to the prime minister, even including the power to mobilize the army to go to war, and also to the prime minister and parliament, can you imagine......?

"Of course, I'm not quite accurate in what I said, the queen is still influential, as long as she ascends to the top of the throne, any British prime minister has to back down, after all, this is the most golden period of development in the United Kingdom...... But it is undeniable that the Queen's power is weakening little by little......"

"In time, will the British royal family evolve into the face of a country, without exercising any power? I think it's very likely, knowing that England also has a ...... of beheading."

Xiao Letian sighed, "I don't want to be pushed to the guillotine in the future, and I don't want people to open a museum and humiliate ......the corpse after death," Luo Huo slammed the table and yelled when he heard it, "I see who dares! Our army is not vegetarian!"

"Sit down!" Xiao Letian glared at him, "Do you still want to live forever? We will always have the day when we will die of old age, and sooner or later generations will insult me and scold me, maybe I will become a national thief in a hundred years, the world affairs, a prosperous profit will give birth to a disadvantage! As long as you do things, there will be gains and losses, naturally some people love you and some hate you, isn't this normal, what are you excited about?"

"If you don't believe it, ask Wang Huaiyuan, what has happened in Tanggu in the past six months? There are countless people blocking the Xishui Gate and scolding me every day......

Seeing Wang Huaiyuan nodding, the generals who hadn't returned to Tanggu for a long time asked incredulously, "What's the situation?"

Wang Huaiyuan smiled bitterly and shook his head and sighed, "It's just a matter of promoting rice and fighting against rice, the greed of the small people, and the prime minister's request that the army and the local government not be convicted for their words, so ......"

Just when the Ryukyu Prime Minister's Mansion was meeting in the wind and rain, Tanggu, thousands of miles away in the north, was the bitter summer season when the sun was shining hot, and the dog stuck out his tongue and people flowed oil.

The leaves and crops of the sun were wilting, and the soil on the post road was noisy, and when I stepped on it, there was white smoke, and half of the feet were flooded.

Everyone is listless, no one wants to say a word, the whole street is silent, unless it is really a person who can't open the pot in this weather, but whoever eats it will not choose to go out to work at this time.

There is a town called Beitang to the west of Tanggu, which is an important commercial port town in the Ming Dynasty, as the second line of defense of the mouth of Dagu, there are also two fortified forts here, but now Beitang has been assigned to the Tanggu Special Zone, and according to the agreement, the military defense affairs here are completely controlled by the Ryukyu New Army.

A little west of Beitang close to the Haihe River is the west gate of the Special Economic Zone, which the locals call the West Water Gate. New batteries have been built on the north and south banks of the city, 88 mm Armstrong rapid-fire guns, which can easily control the entire Haihe River with crossfire, plus more than a dozen Gatling heavy machine guns, the defense of West Water Gate can be described as impregnable.

This is an important pass where the water, land and dry roads run in parallel, the Haihe River is full of dense cargo ships, the goods from the West are transported to Beijing, and the export goods of Zhili and other places, pig bristles, rhubarb, and all kinds of ores continue to flow to Tanggu for transportation, plus the West Water Gate here to collect taxes and strictly check, so almost every day and night are gathered into a big pimple, there is no smooth time.

"Disembarkation...... I've been waiting for three hours, but I still can't get by, how did Xiao Letian, this stinky boy......, manage it?

"Get off the boat and take the dry road, I don't believe they have blocked the wilderness......"

An old and angry voice quieted the surroundings, and everyone turned their eyes to this old man with a Shanxi accent, and it turned out that a platoon commander in Xishuimen was still a veteran, and he recognized it at a glance.

"Oops...... Isn't this old guy Fan Ru? Fan Yao's brother, why is this bastard here......
