1790 The water dragon goes north

It is not easy for people to survive in the late Qing Dynasty, they may not be able to learn from the West and be a little stupid in front of new things, but once they return to the battlefield they are familiar with, this group of people will be refreshed as if they have changed as a person.

What are they proficient in? It is nothing more than the conspiracy of various forces, the smirking on the stage, the intrigue under the stage, and the stabbing in secret.

No one will think about how the Manchurians should rise and break this situation from the perspective of the overall global situation, and they can't figure it out.

The era of the second industrial revolution and the big bang of science and technology has come, and no one in the entire Manchu Qing Dynasty has the slightest understanding of this, let alone leading the world, even if there is no idea of making a small breakthrough in a certain industry.

Not to mention how to train the new-style army, a group of French instructors and American instructors have been invited to fry the cold rice of Western military academies every day, and the Chinese army has already begun to receive infantry artillery training and has begun to study the tactics of straggler infiltration, but the Xishan battalion is still guarding the European drill more than ten years ago, lining up to shoot, backpacking and cross-country.

Xiao Letian killed a Molière, the first thing that came to mind in the Manchu Qing Dynasty was the old past, combining vertical and horizontal, borrowing a knife to kill people, no one could figure out and didn't want to understand, why Xiao Letian dared to kill people so pervertedly, or what was the purpose of his torture and killing.

They don't understand, and they don't want to understand, the talent of fools is to imagine their opponents as fools for the first time, and then judge them with the thinking of fools.

There is only one result of the analysis, that is, Xiao Lotian is crazy, he is carried away by successive victories, he is going to declare war on France, he is going to be finished......

Based on this judgment, the forces of all parties began to act, Cixi has now worn the same pants with Yi, and the conservative forces they represent have begun to conspire with Tsarist Russia and France.

The French minister, within his authority, actually gave the devil an interest-free loan of six 3 million gold francs, plus a low-interest loan of 5 million gold francs.

Although Tsarist Russia did not promise to give money, it also funded a batch of munitions, and even promised to secretly send a group of top Cossack cavalry for the devil's six drives.

Yi's Xishan battalion has already used one-third of the military expenses of the military department for a year at this moment, and then Yang Zhi's banknote printing factory will provide him with millions of yuan in northern bills every year, and now with the financial support given by France and Tsarist Russia, Yi's forces are simply flying as fast as wings.

In the face of such a terrifying expansion of power, the reformers represented by Ci'an could only bow their heads, Ci'an did not enter the Forbidden City meeting for five consecutive days, and at first he only had some headaches and brain fever, but he was seriously ill on the last day.

Fever has to be cold medicine, Beihai so a large area of Haizi turned out not to defeat the queen mother's fire, chasing after Ci'an ordered to go to Chengde summer resort to recuperate, all the major events in the court were discussed by the Queen Mother of the West and the princes.

The ministers failed to retain them three times in a row, and finally could only agree to the queen mother's move to the summer resort. Ci'an's retreat made the power of Devil Six soar, and for a while, the people in the court were panicked, and rumors spread in Beijing.

Just when the whole city was surrounded by circles, suddenly a thunder and lightning swept from the south, Zeng Guofan was a little sick, and he had already taken a boat from Jiangning to the north, and at this moment he was almost at the boundary of Shandong.

In the eyes of the world, he is the king of Jiangnan, and half of the Qing Dynasty has to listen to him, and the 500,000 tigers under his command are the number one military force in Asia, and foreign devils dare not make a mistake in front of him.

Zeng Guofan really received Ci'an's order and set off, he was going to take over the important task of governor of Zhili, and his arrival upset the political balance of the existing Gyeonggi land.

The mountain rain is about to come, the wind is full of buildings, the weather in Beijing is very strange these days, the sky is still clear in the morning, and the result is a gust of wind and black clouds pressing down on the city at noon, and the heavy rain is said to fall and does not give people a little time to hide from the rain.

The torrential rain came quickly and urgently, and the water level of the rivers around the Jingshi suddenly soared, and the Xishan camp even encountered the threat of flash floods, and a military camp was washed away by the flash floods, but fortunately there were no casualties.

Ancient people were very superstitious, as soon as Zeng Guofan left, the Beijing division had such a celestial phenomenon, and the new military camp in Xishan bore the brunt of the violation, which simply forced gossip men and women to make up nonsense.

What is the old man who is the water dragon in the south, and the devil six is the drought dragon in the north, and it is strange that the water dragon moves north to Beijing and does not rain...... This kind of mysterious rumor is the favorite drama of the idle men of the Eight Banners.

Don't say anything about King Jiangnan or Prince Gong, in the hearts of this group of Eight Banners, the emperor can be arranged, in fact, what was the Yongzheng Red Pill case, the headless case, and Lu Siniang...... and so on, and the stories were all made up by this group of people.

In the same way, the bizarre legends of Kangxi and Qianlong also originated from these Eight Banners idlers, on the contrary, those tired thieves and Han people who died, on the one hand, had no time and no energy, and on the other hand, they couldn't inquire about so many palace secrets.

To put it mildly, the Han peasants and workers don't know how many windows there are in the Taihe Palace, and they can't arrange them if they want to. Only these people who are familiar with the inside story of the Forbidden City will make up some bizarre stories that are true or false, so that people can't help but believe it.

This group of gossip men and women, to put it bluntly, was the social network of that era, a woman's boudoir was a private group, and a teahouse was a BBS forum...... Not to mention these weird rumors, even if it is a true secret in the Forbidden City, this group of people can spread it quickly.

"There's truth in the rumors...... There is the truth in the message...... "The fifth master who was lying on the bed of the rouge tiger was speechless, and it was this sentence over and over again, and the rouge tiger around him was annoyed when he heard it.

"You've been nagging a hundred times in an afternoon, haven't you......?

"Women's Ways...... What do you know, this is what Yang Zhi told me, and it is said to be a mantra of Xiao Letian...... The more I taste it now, the more I taste it!"

The fireworks of the Qinglou is a distribution center for rumors, and the semi-closed door of the Rouge Tiger is the same, and the more than 20 little girls she raises also have to pick up customers on weekdays, and some private dishes in the small kitchen in the inner courtyard are also the favorite of the prostitutes.

When they were drunk, these princes and ministers, and high-ranking Han officials would talk about the current affairs, and Rouge Tiger would summarize and report the news to Yi Cheng.

Yi Cheng himself has a very strong network on the rivers and lakes, and he has obtained a lot of information, and during this time, rumors have spread to make him dizzy, and Yang Zhi and several of their staff have a lot of things to do, and there is no kung fu party, and the confused Yi Cheng had to get into the bed of the rouge tiger and recited Xiao Letian's quotations over and over again, trying to find the key to solving the mystery.

"There's truth in the rumors...... What Xiao Letian said is interesting, why can this kind of rumor spread, while another rumor is not heard?"

"People are willing to gossip, which shows that there is a common desire in the hearts of this group of people...... Damn, Xiao Letian, can this guy speak human words? Who can understand it if it's so complicated!"
