Muge, whose real name is Mugeji, Sushun's distant wife and brother, was deeply used by Sushun, and changed his name to hide in the Xiling Protector after the Xinyou coup. In Yixian City, that is, he was exposed to his identity by Qing Sanye in the battle to besiege Xiao Letian, and he was so frightened that he fled.

Ersu, a Mongol, was the general of the dead Prince Yi Zaiyuan, and was extremely loyal to his master. Since Prince Yi was executed, he has been exiled to Jingshi Zuo with the intention of avenging the prince.

Cheng Huai, the Han man who personally carried the flag by Prince Zheng Duanhua, and a Zhuang guest in western Beijing, became a big landlord by virtue of the master's reward. After the coup d'état, Hua was given suicide, and the loyal landowner began to show his extraordinary business talents, using the property granted by his master to secretly support the activities of small groups.

There are also Shi Shan, Shi Shui, two brothers, both of whom are students of Jinan Luoyuan Academy.

The eldest of these five difficult brothers and brothers is Qing Sanye Fuqing, and their small group is the so-called reformist faction that the Manchu Qing court focused on cracking down on some time ago, and they properly take care of the remnants of the eight ministers.

Su Shun, Prince Yi Zaiyuan, and Prince Zheng Duanhua are the three pillars of the eight ministers who were killed by Cixi in the Xinyou coup, two of which committed suicide, and Su Shun was directly pushed to the entrance of the vegetable market to be beheaded.

Jing Shou, the former minister of the imperial court, Mu Yin, the minister of military aircraft, Kuang Yuan, the minister of state affairs of Zanxiang, Du Han, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, and Jiao Youying, the minister of military aircraft, these five brothers are the lucky ones who are lucky enough to save their lives among the eight ministers of Gu Ming, and their life experiences are different, some have thought about it behind closed doors, and some have been assigned thousands of miles.

Facts have proved that any top-level minister who can stand at the top of a country's political tower cannot be alone. In the decades that they have been in politics for officials, it is inevitable that they will know many people, promote many people, and their protégés and former officials are all over the world.

For example, Su Shun, if he hadn't been secretly rescued, Zuo Zongtang would have been framed to death by the official document of the Governor of Huguang back then, and Su Shun and Zuo Zongtang had the grace to save their lives.

There is also the road of Zeng Guofan's development, but also inseparable from Su Shun's strong support, in the Xianfeng period, without Su Shun's strength to override public opinion and argue with reason, Hanchen is simply impossible to become bigger, and the Hunan army does not want to have the current scale.

As for Prince Zheng and Prince Yi, they are the famous red princes in the royal family, and their powerful protégés are all over the world. There is also Kuang Yuan, who was hired as the head of Jinan Luoyuan Academy after the coup d'état, lecturing for 17 years, with more than 3,000 disciples.

As for the other ministers of Gu Ming, they were all well-known real power factions in the court at that time, and Emperor Xianfeng had no highlights in his life, but the eight ministers of Gu Ming he chose for his son were really an elite team, and this vision was absolutely powerful.

But it's a pity that Xianfeng's bones are not cold, and the eight ministers of Gu Ming were crushed by the Queen Mother of the Two Palaces and his two brothers.

The leader is dead, but the sheep are still there, those who have received the great favor of the master, there will always be a few dead people who are willing to avenge the master, under the tandem of the caring people, the forces left by the eight ministers of Gu Ming began to secretly contact and hibernated, and finally became a small force.

Until in the end, they met Qing Sanye by chance, and under the encouragement of Sanye's brand-new Western-style thinking, this group of dead soldiers who were united by hatred actually became a strange flower in the Manchu ethnic group, a reformist.

Because of hatred, they hate the decision made by the imperial court, since the imperial court wants to be conservative, then they have to innovate, since the imperial court wants to close off the country, then they have to look overseas. This is not to say that they have much knowledge, it is purely an instinctive hatred and resistance.

But when they really came into contact with Western learning, in the subtle transformation of Qing Sanye, they really changed, and they really worked hard to learn and accept Western learning.

They had seen the mysterious telegram carried out by the third master, the east and west wings were separated by more than ten meters, and the east wing room Shishan wrote a line of poems, but the telegraph operator moved his fingers, and the stone water in the west wing room was received in an instant, and when the telegraph operator translated, the two top students of Jinan Luoyuan Academy were shocked and had nothing to say.

They had also seen various types of Western guns privately collected by Qing Sanye, two military generals, Erlesu and Mugeji, and Spencer, who controlled the bursts, fantasized about such a scene where the military formation began to slaughter the cavalry regiment, and they knew that the loss of Baliqiao was not wronged at all.

There is also Cheng Huai, who is good at doing business, he even secretly went to Ryukyu to inspect once, and the spectacular scene of thousands of sails gathering and goods all over the world conquered him, and he was breathless by the magnanimity of the head of the top chaebol of Fan Yao's old shopkeeper.

Facts speak louder than words, Qing Sanye can not only come up with theories, he can also come up with irrefutable facts, and since then he has been the leader of the Manchu Restoration.

It's a pity that this group of people obviously did not receive the secrecy training of the torture hall, and their whereabouts had been detected by the imperial court before the palace change, but the net was not closed at that time. After Cixi launched the Bingyin Palace Rebellion, the Admiral of the Nine Gates locked the Jingshi, and none of these unlucky people ran away, and they were all stewed with a spoonful.

They were beaten a lot in the prison, if they didn't know that Qing Sanye had already led troops in Jingshan and Cixi, they might have to tell all the secrets in their stomachs.

People live by hope, and as the resistance on Jingshan becomes more and more tenacious, the hope in their hearts grows greater and greater, and they can even judge the situation outside from the strength of the daily executions.

The time of daily executions is getting shorter and shorter, and the attitude of the officials is gradually softening, and in the end it even becomes a daily formality, and the task is completed with two whips casually, and the quality of the food is getting better and better.

All kinds of qiē prove that the victory of the third master is imminent. Sure enough, when Xiao Letian's new army entered the city, the door of the prison of the Criminal Department was opened, and a group of officials kowtowed, asked the doctor for treatment, and even made up two thousand taels of so-called atonement silver.

This group of monkey spirits, the nose is too smart, the Empress Dowager Dong has made it clear that she supports the Restoration, Qing Sanye has become a second-class member, this group of ancestors is out of the prison with the front foot, and the back foot has to be promoted.

The five leaders of the Restorationists were thus sent out of prison and returned to their respective homes under the protection of the New Army.

After a few days of recuperation, the injuries on the brothers' bodies have improved a lot, and today, under the leadership of the third master, the six of them traveled together and began to travel to Sijiu City under the rule of the new army.

"This, this, this...... Is this still a Jingshi? Why haven't you seen it completely upside down in four or five days?" "The two Shishan and Shishui brothers have never seen the capital so clean. There are people cleaning in every street and alley, and those soldiers of the Eight Banners and the Green Battalion who were captured by the new army can't fight, but they are really good at cleaning.

Under the threat of foreign guns and bayonets, and inspired by the rice and braised pork, this group of soldiers all became migrant laborers, the mud that had accumulated on the streets for I don't know how many years was shoveled away and swept away, countless people were painting white ash on the walls of the alleys, and even the public toilets were cleaned by them, and even washed with clean water several times.

What made me even more shocked was that there were temporary sheds at all the intersections of Sijiu City, and all the piles in them were imported white rice, and there was an unlimited supply of forty wen a liter.

"Oh my God, the price of rice in the Qianlong period is nothing more than that, and the price of the Jingshi has actually returned to the price of the Qianlong period? This is all the means of Prime Minister Xiao Cheng?" Although Erlesu is a Mongolian, he has lived in the capital for generations, and he can be regarded as an indigenous, and he was stunned when he saw the price of rice.

Fuqing said proudly, "Yes, this is Xiao Letian's means, in the Qing Dynasty, only my brother can have the means to get the goods to the world, a large number of these white rice are transported from Nanyang, and the people of Beijing can be regarded as blessed......"

After a while, the group came to the Longxugou construction site of the popular project that Xiao Lotian focused on, and people could see Xiao Letian's courage when they arrived here.

More than 2,000 captive soldiers are rolling like mud monkeys digging silt, looking like a group of ants crawling around from a distance, the banks of Longxu Ditch are full of green bricks and pebbles, under the command of the master craftsman, the road paved with stone and blue bricks is gradually extending forward.

Several of the people present are old Beijingers, and they have been to Longxugou before, and the soul-wrenching stench makes them unforgettable for life, and now although there is still a smell, it is a world of difference compared to before.

"This, this, this...... How much money does this cost? The prime minister has money and nowhere to spend it?"

The third master smiled, "My brother won't do loss-making business, he will pay one-third of the price of the entire Longxugou renovation plan, half of the rest of the imperial court, and half of Lotte ......"

"My brother has bought all the land on both sides of Longxugou, and in his plan, Longxugou will bring clean living water in the future, and then plant lotus flowers, and on both sides of it will be commercial shops pù and green buildings...... And the slums in the back have all been converted into beautiful courtyard houses, guess how much money you have to make?"

"At first, I didn't understand, but then my brother asked people to draw a 'rendering' that is the imaginary future Longxugou, and then copied it and sent a copy to the families of the princes and nobles, guess what?"

The third master sneered and said, "All the princes and stewards have secretly contacted Lotte Foreign Bank, and the silver is shipped to the ocean in boxes, and this group of people wants to get a piece of the pie!"

"Hiss......" Everyone gasped, they didn't expect Xiao Letian to be so high-level, on the surface, he led troops to coerce the imperial court, but secretly did business with the nobles, this skill was incredible.

At this moment, hundreds of trolleys suddenly appeared on both sides of Longxu Ditch, on which were buckets of steaming white rice and buckets of pork vermicelli stew.

"It's lunch...... Today is braised pork again, one bowl of braised pork per person, and you can eat rice and pickles as you like...... Grandma, you have to thank the prime minister for going, you didn't eat as well as you have now when you were a soldier!"

"What's the matter, brothers? When you were a soldier, you could add a spoonful of lard to the stew in the big kitchen, even if you celebrate the New Year, now look at the days, and eat here, it's worth it to work tiringly!"

"It's time to start eating, take the bamboo skewers you worked on today, and come to get lunch!"

The aroma of braised pork filled the air, and the working green battalion soldiers ate one by one like starving ghosts reincarnated, burying their heads in the rice bowl, and the sound of pulling the rice bowl was everywhere.
