[Chapter Word Count:3363Last Updated:2014-10-0118:00:00.0]

The wax seal of the yellow phosphorus fireworks was crushed, Xiao Letian's arm shook slightly in the dark, and the fireworks began to spray bright firelight, and then three fireballs burst into the night sky, bright enough to be seen clearly from more than ten miles away.

"It's Mr. Xiao, it's the military advisor......" The crowd suddenly stirred, the swaying torches danced in the dark, and the fire dragon began to gather towards Xiao Letian, and after a while, everyone found Xiao Letian with a straw stick full of heads.

"Strategist, we are guilty......" Seeing that Xiao Letian was safe and sound, the three personal guards led by Xiao Hexin knelt down at that time, crawled on the ground and wept bitterly.

"Alright, don't pee. Hurry up and let the tiger girl get in the car, it's so fucking cold in the mountains!" Xiao Letian quickly climbed out of the valley and returned to the avenue with the support of the brothers.

"Everyone obeyed the order, all the troops withdrew, and these prisoners were released...... Xiao Letian's order made the people present very puzzled, "Military division, isn't this revenge avenged?"

"Yes, if you don't report it, the brothers who besieged Xiangjiazhuang have also withdrawn, and we won't make this enmity. On the contrary, spies were sent to keep an eye on Xiangjiazhuang's movements...... I feel that Xiang Shaolong and their family are about to be unlucky......"

At this time, the eastern horizon was already faintly white, and the whole night passed, Xiao Letian turned over and shouted at the dawn, "Everyone listen to the order, go back to Yixian County with me, don't come out and mix up if you don't have the ability to protect yourself these years...... I have decided that if no one invites me to this Beijing city, I will not go in again...... Rack!" said and urged the horse forward.

Just when Xiao Lotian led the team to leave the mountain, in the majestic nine-fold Forbidden City, the small court meeting had already begun. However, the small court meeting of the Tongzhi Dynasty is not on the Jinluan Palace, but in the Dongnuan Pavilion of the Yangxin Palace, which is the location of the famous curtain to listen to the government.

The thin Emperor Tongzhi sat on the throne, with the pearl curtain behind him, and the queen mother of the east and west palaces sat behind and faintly revealed her figure. In front of the emperor, the people sitting on the left and right were all important ministers in the court at that time, and Prince Gong Wang Yi sat in the first position on his left hand.

And the first on the right hand is actually the official crown prince Shaobao, Zeng Guoquan of the governor of Liangjiang. Today, the small court meeting convened all the hard-working officials, and none of the high-ranking goods were called.

"Okay, let's all discuss this fold, why don't you all speak after watching it for a long time?" It was Cixi who broke the silence first.

What is passed back and forth in the hands of people is a fold, and the owner of the fold is just a new Zhang Jing of the Prime Minister's Yamen, but the person who handed the fold is very good, it is Prince Gong Wang Yi.

The excerpt is written by a Manchen of the Eight Banners called Fuqing, and the small characters on the cover of the cover 'Playing the Holy Judgment to Open the Detailed Rules for the Power of the Special Industrial Zone' are written in a bit of spirit, so that the Tongzhi Emperor and the Queen Mother behind the curtain look very uplifted.

The contents of the excerpt are very appalling, this Manchu minister named Fuqing actually opened his mouth to ask for a special industrial zone in Guangzhou, Fuzhou, Shanghai, Ningbo, and Tanggu, and each special zone is divided into 500 to 1,000 mu according to different uses. And hired foreign engineers with high salaries to design and build five special industrial zones belonging to the Qing Dynasty within three years.

Steel mills, military factories, textile factories, and even foreign fire and oil factories were set up in the special zone, and the industrial system of the Qing Dynasty was gradually perfected by starting with the military industry. If the initial effect is very good, you can also increase the pilot, such as Tangshan, Wuhan, Jiaodong...... and other cities can gradually open up.

Until the end, in the excerpt, this Fuqing actually arrogantly said, "As long as the special industrial zone can operate at full capacity for five years, Wechen guarantees that the Qing Dynasty can build foreign guns and cannons that are not inferior to foreigners, and can also produce new warships that sail thousands of miles and load huge cannons......"

In general, the excerpt is very big, but it is not a bragging, which has a detailed introduction from the preliminary preparation, to the start-up capital, including which country's technology is used, and even describes the safety issue separately.

Of course, the safety here is not the safety of production, no one cares about the life and death of the untouchables, and the safety in Fuqing's mouth is the people's heart. He believes that since the special industrial zone was built by foreigners, it should be built with walls and barracks to confine down the barracks, allowing only goods and materials to circulate, and prohibiting the common people from contacting the people inside. So as to avoid foreigners from bewitching the hearts of the people of the Qing Dynasty.

This strategy was copied 100% by Fuqing according to Xiao Letian's instructions, and it can be said that it was the most realistic plan in the Qing Dynasty at that time, which touched the least interests of all parties, and had strong operability.

When this fold was handed out by Prince Gong, there was silence in the Dongnuan Pavilion, and people looked at it one after another and then bowed their heads and remained silent, until Cixi was the first to break the silence.

"I think this method is feasible!" The first to speak was the nine handsome Zeng Guoquan, "What is the Qing Dynasty like now, I think all of you have seen it, if you don't get angry, I'm afraid that foreigners will kick their noses in the face in the future." What are you afraid of drawing a few hundred acres of land to carry out a pilot project? Let me first state that the two special zones of Ningbo and Fuzhou, I will definitely give the imperial court an example of doing something for five years......

Zeng Guoquan's first half of the sentence was reasonable, but the Manchu ministers present in the second half of the sentence didn't like to listen to it. Hey, hey, this is about to start? Your Hunan army is about to scrape off the rich land in the south of the Yangtze River, how much have you robbed of Guangliangtian, and now you are not greedy enough and you are starting to worry about this little family business of our Manchurians?

Before the Manchurians could refute him, a voice suddenly came out without emotion: "Emperor Qi, Queen Mother, I don't know which yamen supervisor this special industrial zone should be placed? It stands to reason that this should be an errand of the Ministry of Industry, but it also involves the affairs of communicating with foreigners, and this is the errand of the Prime Minister's Yamen......

"Not only that, but arranging for the army to build the city wall and build the barracks is another errand of the military department. Even educating the surrounding people and avoiding the demagoguery of foreigners are the affairs of the Ministry of Rites...... Speaking of which, all the ministries and yamen have to cooperate in this matter, and I don't know how the imperial court is going to coordinate? In addition, the person in charge of this matter does not know if there is a candidate for the imperial court?"

It's time to do it, and Qingliu is just starting to do it. Not only the queen mother of the two palaces but also the important ministers woke up, and together with the emperor, they also smelled a different smell.

Qingliu has been known for its large number of people and poor organization since ancient times, generally speaking, except for the fierce people who shout, there is really no one who can expect them to do anything, but the leader of Qingliu is different, this kind of person is basically a well-known Confucian minister in the country, and his prestige ability even exceeds that of the ordinary practical superintendent.

If the emperor meets such a minister, to be honest, it will be a real headache. Especially the one in front of him, Weng Tongyi, represented by uprightness, is the leader of the clear stream who should not be underestimated by all forces.

Weng Tongyi, the word Shuping, a Chang acquaintance in Jiangsu, and the son of Weng Xincun, a university scholar. Xianfeng was a Jinshi in the sixth year, and successively served as the head of the household department, the imperial history of the left capital of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, the criminal department, the Ministry of Industry, the secretary of the household department, the minister of military aircraft and the prime minister of national affairs, and other important positions. Look at it, Weng Tonggong in history is so awesome. It wasn't until after the Wuxu Reform that he was dismissed and returned to his hometown because of the involvement of the students.

And Weng Tongyong, who has been in Tongzhi for four years, has been enshrined to walk in the Hongde Hall and teach the Tongzhi Emperor, which can be said to be the treatment of the emperor. At this time, he was only 35 years old, when he was in the prime of life, and he was promoted to the leader of the clear stream, which was almost recognized by the government and the opposition.

The emperor spoke, even the emperor and the queen mother had to give some face, Cixi and Ci'an didn't speak, the little emperor Tongzhi didn't know what to say, only Yi opened his mouth, "Shuping, aren't we discussing, it's not decided, it's not decided......"

Weng Tongyi smiled slightly, "Weichen just asked casually, just to remind everyone in the court, after my holy dynasty entered the customs, I encountered a lot of wind and rain along the way, but the unity of the Manchu and Han can always survive the crisis, what does this rely on? To put it mildly, if Xianxue declines, our court doesn't know how many days it can last?"

One sentence made the people present stop talking, if it was an ordinary official who said such a big rebellion, he would have been scolded and dismissed a long time ago, but when the leader of the Qingliu said it, all the monarchs and ministers of the Mannuan Pavilion were dumbfounded.

Threat, this is the first naked threat, the queen mother of the two palaces and the high-level officials of the Manchu all understand it, if the Qing Dynasty really gives up Xianxue and starts to promote Western learning, then what they are facing is definitely a comprehensive counterattack by this group of Confucian students, they represent the most powerful landlord class in the Great Qing Dynasty.

At this time, Zeng Guoquan's heart was happy, and he said in his heart, you fight, anyway, if the court forcibly passes the plan of the special industrial zone, our Hunan army will be divided into at least two, and we will not suffer a loss if we are killed.

If the court and this group of Qingliu fall out, hahaha, this is better, our Hunan army has an official position to accommodate these Confucian ministers, with their support, how many days can you love the Xinjue Luo family and be stinky?

Beautiful, Zeng Guoquan is as happy as drinking ice water on dog days. But correspondingly, the Manchu ministers died down. Yi hurriedly explained, "Shuping, what do you mean by this? When did the imperial court say that it would promote Western learning? The enlightenment of the sage is always the foundation of governing the country, this is the iron law set by the ancestors, why should you worry......

At this time, the little emperor of Tongzhi suddenly spoke, "Master Weng...... If we don't build special industrial zones and don't build foreign guns and artillery, then how should we deal with the foreigners coming over again?"

Weng Tongyi laughed loudly, "Haha, Your Majesty is still not thorough enough, although the foreigners are strong and powerful, but in the face of such a vast land in our Qing Dynasty, they are also more than willing and not enough." Let's recall the previous use of troops by foreigners, during the Daoguang period, Yingyi shelled the city of Guangzhou, and then went all the way north to attack the coastal cities, although the momentum was huge, but it did not penetrate deep into the interior at all, why is this?"

"It's not that they don't have the ability to go deep into the interior at all! My Daqing mountains and rivers stretch for millions of miles, and you let the foreigners fight them! It won't take a few hundred miles to drag them to death, so that they can't even guarantee the supply of guns and ammunition. This is the greatest reliance of our Qing Dynasty. ”

Good guy, if Xiao Letian is here, he will immediately have to pick a big brother, this Weng Tongyi has a bit of Principal Jiang's demeanor, he actually understands what strategic depth is, and he actually knows how to exchange space for time.

"As for four years ago, it was the British, French and Russian barbarians, who took advantage of the civil strife in the Qing Dynasty to attack behind our backs, and we suffered this catastrophe only when we suffered from the enemy, and this war was not a crime of war, but a loss in the political situation. If Longhair hadn't made a mess, would they dare to go deep into the interior of the country?"

Weng Tongyi's words shocked everyone speechlessly, and the nine-year-old Tongzhi nodded slightly, as if he had some understanding, and even Zeng Guoquan had to count the thumbs in his heart.

"is worthy of being the leader of the clear stream, this insight is not something that ordinary rotten Confucians can have. ”
