"The history before the Zhou Dynasty has been chaotic and difficult to examine, but since the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the history books of China have been able to be connected in a string, and there are not many dynasties in it......"

"Throughout the history of China, although there have been wars and turmoil for thousands of years, our territory has indeed been constantly expanding, from the small tribes on the side of the Yellow River to the coast of the South China Sea, the desert and the Hanhai, and even the Tibetan Mongolia has been accommodated......

"Countless ethnic groups that were hostile to the Han nationality back then, some of them died out and decayed, and some of them merged with the Han nationality as one, recalling which amazing ethnic names in the history books, Xiongnu, Xianbei, Qiang, Tiele, Rouran, Huifu, Turkic, Shatuo, and Dangxiang...... No matter how big the tide they had at that time, in the end, without exception, they all disappeared in the long river of history. ”

"The history of the Han nation is a history of suffering from foreign invasions, in these thousands of years, we have less time to take the initiative to attack, more time to defend passively, and our nation has rarely had that kind of hearty revenge of extermination, often these foreign races have declined, the Han nation will give them a way to live, with a tolerant mentality to integrate them into their own arms......"

"Today, our bloodline has long been impure, the bloodline passed down from the time of the Three Emperors and Five Emperors has become weaker and weaker in the long history, but the bloodline has faded but the survival territory of the Han nation has expanded even more, until now the territory of the Qing Dynasty has been the largest territory in history except for the Yuan Dynasty, if this territory is put in the Song Dynasty, it is estimated that those scholars dare not think of it......"

Xiao Letian said calmly, Zeng Guofan listened excitedly, and when he heard the subtlety, he even toasted three glasses and praised "Exquisite, it is really exquisite, there are really few people who can penetrate history among the scholars of the Manchu Dynasty, don't think that Weng Tong's hat as a leader of the Qingliu is great, in fact, he is a rotten Confucian in his bones......"

"Devouring hatred, this word is really wonderful, the Han nationality is to use incomparable tolerance, with the character of good water to contend with those small and violent alien races little by little, when the softest water and the most rigid rock compete with each other, who will the victory belong to......?

Xiao Letian saw that a pot of wine was about to bottom, and he hurriedly filled himself with a glass, "Dashuai, drink it slowly, there is wine...... What you said just now is right, overcoming rigidity with softness is the fundamental reason why the Han people have stood firm for thousands of years, for example, the current Manchu Qing Dynasty, if you look at it from different angles, it will show a different appearance......"

"It is true that the Manchu Qing Dynasty treated our Han people's rule cruelly, and we will not mention the famous massacres in the history books when the country was founded, and the hair shaving order made the servility of the Han people even heavier. How can we not hate the anointed blood of hundreds of millions of Han people in the world to feed the decadent and decadent court of the Manchu Qing Dynasty? In the past 200 years, the Qing Dynasty has never stopped all kinds of uprisings, and the root cause is here......

"However, if we have a pair of eyes that have penetrated a hundred years to look at the long history, then we will also have a new understanding of the Manchu Qing Dynasty. It is precisely because of the existence of the Manchu Qing Dynasty that the territory of our country can be justifiably expanded to the outside of the Guan, to the northeast, don't look at this land is nominally the Manchu people's own land, but when the wind and tide surge, the Manchus have not to obediently give this land to our Han people......"

"Hehehe, when the time comes, the fate of the Manchurians is destined to be the same as those nations that disappeared in history, assimilated by us, and eaten by us......" Xiao Letian shook his head and became more and more excited, but at this time, Zeng Guofan suddenly cried, and two turbid tears rolled down his cheeks.

"Big ...... Dashuai, what do you mean by this?" Xiao Letian asked puzzled.

"Okay, good, that's a good point, not only the Manchu people outside the pass, but also the Mongols who are in cahoots with the Manchu wolf bèi will not be much better in the future, the desert steppe north of the Great Wall will not be able to escape the control of our Han people in the future, as well as Tibet and Xinjiang, these places are governed by the Manchu people for us first, sooner or later this will be the fertile ground for our Han people to survive......"

"All the oppression and all the offerings provided by the Han people are just the purchase money for the land purchased in advance for those new territories, and if they eat ours and take ours, they will have to use the land to return it in the future......

Zeng Dashuai wiped his tears, and suddenly reached out and patted Xiao Letian on the shoulder, "Do you know why I said that you have dragon qi on you?" Just at you, the eyes that have seen through history, you are not a layman." With that set of theories just now, I dare to say that there will be no ten people in the Manchu Qing Dynasty who can comprehend it......"

At this time, a thought suddenly flew through Xiao Letian's mind like lightning, and he trembled and said, "Dashuai...... Are you afraid that we will not be able to eat the new vast land after the chaos of the Han people?"

With a snap, Zeng Guofan slapped the table and shouted, "All the guards are spreading, no one is allowed to approach the ...... within a hundred steps" As he spoke, he only heard the rustling of footsteps outside, and the warning circle expanded instantly.

Zeng Guofan grabbed Xiao Letian's hand and said excitedly: "Xiao Letian, who knows me, you and I are forgetful friends." To tell the truth, I, Zeng Guofan, am not afraid of the scolding of the corrupt Confucians, and I know too well what method Weng Tongyi uses to deal with me, isn't it just to push me into the pile of loyal ministers and filial sons? If I dare to rebel, they will be able to make me bear the infamy in the history books of the ages, isn't it just a moral kidnapping? I don't care ...... old man?"

"I don't care about the corrupt Confucianism, I don't care about the Manchu court, and I'm not afraid of the powers of the Western countries, but I'm afraid of the duties of the Han philosophers in the sky... What I'm afraid of is the sigh of my ancestors......"

"What is the Qing Dynasty like now, you can also see it, although the rebellion of the Long-haired Twist Army has been calmed down, but the crisis has not been resolved, there are already signs of turmoil in the northwest Gansu and Shaanxi Hui regions, and Agubo in Xinjiang has blatantly invaded with the support of the Russians, and now he has established his own regime, can I move at this time? If I move, I will be a sinner for the ages......

Zeng Guofan's excited old tears flowed, "They don't understand, even my ninth brother doesn't understand my mind, except for Li Hongzhang, who can guess a little clue, no one in my staff can understand my hardships." They also don't want to think about how much land can we Han keep if I turn against this court now?"

Xiao Letian was shocked, he finally understood this historical mystery, why did Zeng Guofan have the strength to rebel but did not rebel? Until today, the mystery has been completely revealed.

Zeng Guofan is not wrong at all, if he fights with the Qing court now, there will definitely be no scene of Yuan Shikai's peaceful handover of power, and a bloody battle will definitely be fought. The Manchus, Mongols, and even the Hui, Tibetans, and Uyghurs would join forces to wage war against the Han Chinese from all directions.

Not only that, but even the foreigners will be moved by the wind, they are looking forward to the Qing Dynasty entering the era of warlord secession, and it is better for China to be divided into more than ten small countries to be happy.

What a terrible scene it was, outside the Guan, Mongolia, Xinjiang, and Tibet were full of smoke, and everyone would not recognize the ruling power of Zeng Guofan, they would become independent one by one, and then the Western powers would recognize these independent countries as soon as possible, and when these areas were protected by the public law of all countries, the Han people would invade if they wanted to recover the lost territory.

The Han regime lost the legal basis for inheriting those lands, and could not get the support of all countries, and finally was able to hold the territory of the Northern Song Dynasty even if it was burning high incense, this is the reality seen by Zeng Guofan and Xiao Letian, the two pairs of discerning eyes, the fog of history can cover everyone's eyes, but it cannot cover the eyes of the true dragon.

In the end, Xiao Lotian even felt that his teeth were trembling, Lao Tzu did not travel to this era to witness the shattering of mountains and rivers, Lao Tzu wanted to see the territory like a large maple leaf, not the rooster of later generations.

"Dashuai, don't say it, your good intentions are understood, I just want to know what you need me to do when you see me this time?"

Zeng Guofan calmed down for a while, and said faintly, "You are the most powerful person in the Qing Dynasty this year, it is false to say that you are not curious, I want to see you with my own eyes, see your face, and then listen to your truth." Are you and I all the way? Are you the spokesperson and spy supported by the Americans? How ambitious are you? I want to know ...... of these."

"But now it's not necessary, when I hear the sentence you summarized 'devouring hatred', it has already proved that you and I are the same kind of people, we are both hidden dragons, hidden dragons in the Qing Dynasty, and hidden dragons among the Han people, and you can't explain the discerning ...... you have."

"In the history of our nation for thousands of years, there are countless hidden dragons, all the big people who can influence the fortunes of the Han people, can be called the hidden dragon, can they be transformed into real dragons, it takes a big chance, but the hidden dragon can also do a lot of things, just like the Western learning and industry you want to do, it is not something that ordinary people can play......"

Zeng Guofan's eyes stared at Xiao Letian tightly, "Before I met you, I wanted to warn you, don't make it too big, now we still need the Manchu Qing Dynasty to maintain this territory, and now is not the time for us Han people to collect accounts with interest, your desperate plans will stop for a while..."

"But when I saw your face, I was relieved, your eyes can't deceive people, you are not a murderous person, you have your principles and bottom line, how to safeguard the interests of the Han people, I think you have much more than I think......"

The topic has come to this, the old and the young are completely open, since they are all in the same boat, then there is no need to be polite to each other, and if there are any conditions, they can be openly mentioned.

Zeng Guofan privately mobilized 5 million taels of silver and became the second largest shareholder after Xiao Lotte. The five million taels of silver were completely settled with scattered silver taels in the Jiangnan area, which was actually secretly supporting Xiao Letian's coinage business.

Not only that, all the ports in the area controlled by the Hunan military were open to the Ryukyu Kingdom, and the exploration trade was completely abolished, and the era of great commercial prosperity in the Ryukyu was bound to begin.

In Xiao Letian's Special Industrial Zone, the Hunan Army will invest another 1 million taels of shares, and the guns and weapons produced in the Tanggu Special Industrial Zone will be given priority to the Hunan Army.

"From now on, you and I are enemies in the court, you and I don't need to talk about what is inferior and inferior, the old man should join you, scold you when he should scold, you kid must have a mental preparation......"

"Haha, the handsome man laughed, you can scold me, this is to add prestige to me, I can't ask for it, and there will inevitably be big things to trouble you in the future, how can I pry power from the hands of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and it won't hurt this territory, this is a big test, without your guidance, I can't play in the next ......"

"Hehe, each other...", one old and one young, the two hidden dragons joined hands, and God knows that the Qing Dynasty can hold on for several years under the strangulation of these two hidden dragons.
