674 Heart-to-heart between master and apprentice

The temperament revealed by the young Emperor Tongzhi now is completely different from that in Sijiu City before, and the guards kneeling on the ground all feel it.

In the past, the emperor was weak, his thin body was sickly, and almost all the royal family were worried about His Majesty's health.

But now the Tongzhi Emperor exudes the brilliance of the tropical sun, half a year of military training has completely transformed him, the scorching sun and precious herbs have changed his physique from the bones, the dark emperor is now like an unpolished sword, although there is no murderous aura, but everyone knows that he must be a big killer in the future.

"I know you're very unconvinced, who have the masters of Sijiu City served? Do you think this kind of military posture is very useless? Don't hide from my sight, I know too well what you think in your hearts......

"If I don't leave the Forbidden City, I will never know what the outside world is like, let alone what my Eight Banners disciples have degenerated...... I don't do anything to produce, I don't study, I don't bother to practice martial arts, and my jaws are tilted to the sky, and all day long is a chaotic ...... of taverns, brothels, big smoke houses, restaurants, and teahouses."

"Fighting crickets, raising starlings, big yellow dogs, snuff bottles...... Why do you have so many things in your hands? Can you still count them?"

"A bunch of people get together in addition to leaking secrets to the imperial court, just brag about their ancestors, I wonder if your ancestors are powerful, it means that you are powerful? Who can be more powerful than my ancestors? But I haven't trained and studied with the new army ...... the same way."

"What am I for? It's not that I'm hurt by the foreigners, I'm afraid, don't be stupid for those who want to rebel in the world!" Zaichun roared loudly, "I have at least one more fear in my heart, I'm afraid that the Qing Dynasty will collapse in the end, and I'm afraid that in the end, our Eight Banners will be slaughter......ed as chickens one by one."

"So I'm going to learn, I'm going to train...... I have to know what the outside world is like, and I also need to know how the world's top powerhouses are trained!"

"How fortunate are we to be able to meet a master who does not hide his selfishness, Prime Minister Xiao Cheng has taught me his unique skills at the bottom of the box, and you still have doubts? You also deserve ......"

What Jae-chun said today was too explicit and too heart-wrenching, he smashed some things that no one dared to say in the court on the surface, and the third-class guards knelt on the ground and sweated like pulp.

"Do you know why I didn't look for your eldest brother in the long house? Do you know why I want to find your group of concubines? It's not because they are completely hopeless, and the immortals can't be trained......

"Those people have been controlled by their thoughts, and they can't be washed away...... Don't think I don't know, why can't the new army run by Prince Gong even stand up to now? Isn't it because those old men want this and that, they all want to be generals? You also deserve ......?"

"You have heard me clearly, from today onwards, you will sink your heart to the bottom of the sea, start from a big soldier, and then do a good job of the squad leader, platoon commander, and company commander and rise up little by little, you can't even be a soldier, and you still want to be an officer......?

"From today onwards, forget your identity, give me training to the death, don't blame me for being ruthless, today I will say ugly things in front, which of you three hundred people can't even complete the training of recruits...... Then let's do it!"

The murderous words provoked the people present to kneel on the ground one by one and did not dare to move, Jaechun looked at it and scolded angrily, "Roll up for me, kowtow like a kowtow worm, not ashamed!" After speaking, he gave a kick to one of the leaders of the three treasures, and then turned around and left the barracks.

At this time, the four guards stood in front of them with a smile, "Congratulations, congratulations! Your Majesty is willing to kick you, which means that you can still be saved, everyone who can be beaten by the prime minister in the new army is a top person, and you are the same, and there is salvation, so Your Majesty will give you a mouthful, if you are not saved, Your Majesty will not say half a word......

"Get up, get up, now go to the cafeteria to eat, then take a shower and sleep, tomorrow will start the brutal recruit training...... The prime minister's plan to expand the army will last for three or four years, and the army will grow into 6,000 every year, and in three or four years, there will be more than 30,000 people......

"Give up your previous pride and learn, what you learn here is dry goods, as long as you learn it, you will all be generals of the Qing Dynasty in the future...... Think about it, with hundreds or thousands of elite soldiers back to the Beijing Division, what a beautiful scene it is!"

The eyes of the four guards also flashed with a different light, and they were also fantasizing about walking on the streets of Sijiu City with a strong army like the new Ryukyu army, and those bastards who looked down on themselves before knelt on the ground one by one and trembled, it should be a scene of many bullshit.

The barracks playground was full of heavy breathing, and the hearts of the three hundred guards were completely ignited.

"Anyway, it's the master that grandma doesn't love and uncle doesn't love...... I've had enough of the evil spirit in Sijiu City, so I'm going to fight hard for a future today......"

"Yes, Your Majesty can go out to train, we count the green onion, and we are also a good man if we fight for our lives!"

"It's done!" the three hundred warriors were like rainbows.

When Xiao Letian heard Zaichun's report to him, he smiled and flicked his brains, "People are big ghosts, do you think that the master is cautious and doesn't want to see that you have your own weapons in your hands? Don't be stupid, I don't know the worry in your heart?"

"You still have a question that you haven't opened your mouth to ask me, do you want to ask me why I help you so much? Do you want to ask me how a Han man can be full of heart with you?"

This question came out of Xiao Letian's mouth, and Zaichun's face suddenly changed greatly, "Master...... I'm ...... I never doubted you...... Really ......" "Hell, if you haven't thought about it, if you haven't thought about it, it means that you have a problem with your IQ, and I won't want you as an apprentice......"

Xiao Lotian sighed, and slowly spread out a well-printed map of the Qing Dynasty on the table, "Zaichun, this is a map of the Qing Dynasty redrawn by the British in combination with our map of the Qing Dynasty, and the accuracy is much higher than that in the Forbidden City......"

"The master has now hired more than 30 surveying and mapping teams with a high salary, and is ready to invest 500,000 dragon coins in ten years to survey and map the mountains and rivers of the Qing Dynasty, and then we will have more accurate maps to use......

Xiao Letian's finger traced the trajectory of the Great Wall on the map, "See, this line is the Great Wall in your eyes, but in my eyes it is the dividing line of civilization, the dividing line between the nomadic people in the north and the farming people in the south......

"This is not something that the emperor could draw, this line is actually completely dependent on the choice of natural climate...... Do you know that in the north of the Great Wall, it is not that agricultural civilization cannot be developed, but that the existing scientific and technological strength cannot be reached, let alone the ancients......"

"If you look at the Tianshan Mountains, the desert and the plateau of Tibet in Xinjiang, and then there is the long coastline, what are these? These are the natural geographical demarcation lines!"

"The Central Plains civilization is under the protection of these geographical demarcation lines, stretching for thousands of years, during which the main enemies of the agricultural civilization are the northern ethnic minorities, including you Jurchen ......"

Xiao Letian sighed, in fact, in your hearts, there is a doubt, do you think that I, Xiao Letian and Zeng Guofan and others in the south, are all warlords, and these people will have to follow Zhu Yuanzhang's old path sooner or later, this is a nightmare in your hearts!" "There is no need to deny it, fools can understand it...... And when you entered the customs, you really killed countless people, what happened to Jiading Yangzhou without hair, do you think the Han people have forgotten?"

These few words said that Jaechun was sweating like pulp, and this kind of taboo topic made him unable to adapt to it at all.

"Hehe, do you think I haven't thought of taking the Han people to rise up? You have seen my means clearly, it won't take ten years, I can easily drive you Manchu people out of the pass, and how many Manchus will live when the world rises? Don't think that the white mountains and black waters are blessed land, give me a year and I can train an army suitable for fighting in the alpine zone, this is not difficult......"

Jae-chun cried all of a sudden, where is the eleven-year-old child Xiao Letian's opponent, tears fell like pearls, "Don't, don't ...... master"

Xiao Ertian sighed, "It's a pity that that's just my fantasy, and it will never come true, because I said that what we are facing now is a great change unseen in 3,000 years, and the times have ......."

"Don't cry, you patiently continue to look at the map. Because the Central Plains was relatively closed in the past, and the sea and alpine deserts have protected most of the area, all agricultural civilizations and nomadic civilizations can fight each other freely, because there are no other powerful enemies......"

"When the Han people are strong, the nomads will bow their heads and vassals, and when the Han people are weakened, you will raise troops to enter the customs, and the change of dynasty will be like pulling a big saw, killing endlessly!"

"But now...... Everything is different, the Age of Discovery has narrowed the distance between countries, and we are surprised to find that there are suddenly more enemies?

"These enemies have a common name, that is, European civilization, yes, it is the group that originated in ancient Greece and Rome and combined the religions of the Middle East and many barbarian cultures, the civilization community does not look at the wars between them, but the core of their civilization is the same......"

"Such a group of enemies came to Asia and came to our Qing Dynasty, what kind of results do you think will be?"

Jae-chun stopped crying at this time, he blinked his eyes and suddenly said, "Another neighbor has been fighting for thousands of years, but now a more powerful neighbor has suddenly appeared around them, and he has been coveting the fields of these two families......"

"Therefore, the wisest choice for these two families is to hurry up and keep warm and deal with these new giants first...... I understand, it doesn't matter if the two of us are temporarily unevenly distributed, we have to keep the one-third of an acre of land left by our ancestors, and it's not too late to divide it when it's safe in the future!"

"I get it......"
