"Any country is entangled by many forces, governing the country is like governing a family, either the east wind overwhelms the west, or the west wind overpowers the east wind, and the absolute Yiyantang seems to have only appeared in the first few years when the first emperor ascended the throne......"

"But that was only the imperial prestige of winning a hundred battles, barely maintained for a few years, and then the Great Qin Empire collapsed, leaving a highly controversial historical topic for all generations......"

"What can the Tang Dynasty and Song Ancestors do? Didn't Li Shimin also ascend the throne by relying on the Xuanwu Gate Change? The internal families of the Tang Dynasty are too big to lose, and the factions of Guanlong, Shandong, Jiangnan, and Hedong are entangled, and the Tang Emperors of all dynasties are also fighting back and forth......

"Not to mention the allusion of Song Taizu's candlelight and axe, coupled with the fact that the imperial examination scholar class has become stronger and stronger in the Song Dynasty, throughout the entire Northern and Southern Song Dynasty, the imperial power has always been in a state of suppression......"

Seeing the post-war summary meeting again, Xiao Letian's small stove class in the secret stronghold started again, and under the stage was a group of hungry officers, and even a few benefactors who were about to leave the school in their teens.

"China is too big, the difference between the southeast and the northwest is 100,000 miles, the people's feelings, folk customs, and folk customs are all different, and even the northerners can't understand what the southerners say, and it is certainly impossible for such a big country to engage in a one-word hall, especially the Manchu Qing Dynasty, which settled in the Central Plains with foreign races, and engaged in absolute centralization......

"There is no need to mention the rebellion of the three feudatories at the time of the founding of the country, although the three generations of Kang Yongqian boasted very well and said that there was a peerless prosperous era, in fact, brothers, the peasant uprisings and riots in the entire Qing Kingdom never stopped at all, not to mention the turmoil of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom and the Twist Army that were close at hand......"

"Not only that, but now there are signs of instability in the Hui region in the northwest, including the Uyghur unrest in Xinjiang has begun to gradually spread, and at most ten years the northwest of the Qing State will have to smoke everywhere, and this war seems inevitable......

Speaking of this, Xiao Lotian took a sip of tea and moistened his throat slightly, "I have said more than once that the phrase 'great change unseen in three thousand years' is not nonsense, this is a true portrayal of the current political situation in China......"

"How many forces are entangled in China now? I can give you a good calculation, the Manchu imperial family, that is, the entire Eight Banners, this is the first force. The Qingliu literati represented by Weng Tongyi and them were the second force, representing the conservative landlord class, and at present these two forces belonged to an absolute alliance, and their interests were the same. ”

"The third force is the Hunan army that suppressed the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, this group of military groups that rose up through the rebellion, the core members are those ambitious and capable radical landlord class, and now they dare not say that they will rebel, at least they have an attempt to reform. ”

"The fourth force is the defeated peasant rebel army, don't look at the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom and the Twist Army have been suppressed, but the source of chaos has not been eliminated, under the cruel rule of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, the future rebellion will only increase, and the temporary silence is only to accumulate strength for the future outbreak. ”

In front of Xiao Letian, the officers and students under the podium were concentrating on shorthand, and they didn't dare to miss a word, because what Xiao Letian was teaching them now was the real political technique, the emperor's mental technique, and the dragon slaying technique that no book would teach them.

"The four forces are not over, the Mongols, the Uyghurs, the Hui, and the Tibetans in Tibet, they are several forces that cannot be underestimated. Although the Manchus have been wooing them, the people's hearts are always insatiable, and there has been an unstable phenomenon in the land of the four tribes, and there will definitely be unspeakable things in the future......"

"Brothers, don't worry. This is not the most chaotic, the foreign power began to expand into the hinterland of the Qing Dynasty, which is an even more terrible thing. Britain is now the most powerful country on the earth, the empire on which the sun never sets, and they are the overlords of the entire ocean, and they control almost half of the oceanic trade on the earth......"

"Russia in the north, has been trying to expand to the south, their desire for warm water ports is unimaginable, the defeat of the Crimean War in 1853 forced them to look to the east, the long coastline of the Qing Dynasty, countless excellent ports, this is the most coveted ...... of the Russians"

"And France, the United States, and Prussia, which is destined to rise in the future, including the small Japanese island nation of the Qing Dynasty's neighbor, will all have closer ties with China in the years to come, and the situation will only become more chaotic and complicated......"

Xiao Letian patiently analyzed the current global situation to his officer corps, and the intricate political situation was as clear as the palm of his hand under Xiao Letian's explanation.

This is the advantage of the traverser, for the evolution of human society in the entire 19th century, for the authorities, it is a thick fog, but for Xiao Letian, this fog is simply transparent.

"Sir, you seem to have forgotten about a force, what about us? Aren't we a force when we get together? And now that we have won a series of battles, who would dare to underestimate us? What should we do in the future?" someone in the crowd suddenly asked.

"Well, your question is very good......" Just as Xiao Letian was about to continue talking about this question, Long Ye suddenly pushed open the secret door, walked quickly to Xiao Letian's side and whispered a few words.

The officers present watched Xiao Letian's eyes open more and more round, and watched his mouth open wider and wider, and finally they could stuff a duck egg into it.

"Everyone is free to discuss, just discuss the question just now, I will take the exam in person in three days, and each of you will hand me an answer sheet to ......" After speaking, Xiao Lotian pushed open the secret door and left the secret club.

Outside the clubhouse is now full of stars, more than a dozen fast horses galloped towards Tanggu Port, on the second floor of Lotte Foreign Bank, just an hour ago, a group of mysterious guests came, when the guests revealed their identities, Fan Yao's old shopkeeper fell to the ground with a weak leg, almost did not scare out a heart attack.

"The old man is Zeng Guofan, this time I came to Tanggu to meet the great master of Western Studies, can I ask the old shopkeeper to introduce him on my behalf?"

Zeng Guofan, the important minister of the late Qing Dynasty who changed the modern history of China, did not follow his army all the way north, but actually parted ways halfway and went straight to Tanggu.

Wang Huaiyuan, Long Ye and more than a dozen guards cavalry surrounded Xiao Letian and ran towards the foreign company, Xiao Letian was anxious and sweaty, "Tightly seal the foreign company...... No, no, no, we will block off all the three streets around the entire foreign bank, and let all our soldiers go to the streets, and the information of this meeting must not be leaked......"

"Wang Huaiyuan, your torture hall is all dispatched, first block the main road from Tanggu to the outside world, and no suspicious person can be spared...... We must not let the imperial court know that I have met with Zeng Guofan, only by showing hostility between us to the outside world can the imperial court let us go, and now we must not stimulate the Manchus anymore at this juncture......"

According to his plan, Xiao Letian will not form an alliance with any domestic force in the next few years, he wants to profit from the chaos, she wants to balance the forces of all parties, and use four or five years to build the Tanggu Special Industrial Zone and the Ryukyu Kingdom.

Be a low-key person, do things in a low-key manner, make a fortune in a muffled voice, first make a prototype of the navy and the Marine Corps, and at Xiao Letian's current speed of making money, it is no problem to save a navy that is not inferior to Beiyang in five to ten years. At that time, the two ironclad ships Dingyuan and Zhenyuan made by Germany only cost a total of three million taels of silver, which was nothing at all in terms of the economic scale of the entire Qing State.

200 million taels of silver dare to pay out, not to mention a few million taels, Xiao Letian's plan is very simple, if you smash 10 million taels of silver in ten years, you can't believe that you can't smash a brand new Beiyang out, let alone Beiyang, and even a deep blue fleet can be smashed out when the time comes.

But every qiē takes time, Xiao Lotian must fight for time for peaceful development, and if he continues to fight and kill all the way like this year, he will not be able to accomplish anything.

"Zeng Guofan, Zeng Dashuai... Aren't you bent on blocking me? What kind of enmity do I have with you, what kind of hatred..."

Just when Xiao Lotian sighed, suddenly a pile of haystacks on the side of the road exploded with a bang, and a ghost figure rushed out of it like lightning, only to see two eyes like real arrows shooting towards Xiao Letian.

"Damn the demon of Western learning, dare to ** the court, and accept your life to ......"

"What kind of person, Mr. Protection..."Long Ye slapped the horse's back and flew out sideways, just in front of the attacker, never thought that Long Ye hadn't seen it clearly, his chest suddenly seemed to be burned by a soldering iron, and the attacker didn't know how to slap his chest.

"What a quick move... Who the hell are you......" Long Ye's throat was sweet, and a mouthful of blood gushed up, but Long Ye didn't give up, his arms wrapped around like silk, and tightly stuck to the figure of the attacker.

"Hehe, it's worthy of the Dragon Master of the Northland, this kung fu is so handsome... But it's a pity, you're still too young, if you want to defeat me, you might as well practice for another thirty years......" The ghostly palm was imprinted on his chest again as he spoke.

Long Ye's entire body flew upside down, and he was angry and spewed out a mouthful of blood arrows, heading straight for the attacker's face.

"I know who you are, this is the big mudra of Tibet, you are the protector of the Red Sect? You are the legendary ancestor in the Forbidden City......" Long Ye's injury was not light, and after falling to the ground, two mouthfuls of blood spit out.

"Mr. Protection, retreat, shoot freely..."Wang Huaiyuan took out his revolver and raised his hand to shoot three shots, what is incredible is that the old ancestor with white hair flashed his strange identity and dodged all three bullets.

"What the hell, can you dodge the gun?" Xiao Letian didn't believe in this evil either, and raised his hand to shoot three more shots, and then the surrounding guards also pulled Spencer's trigger, and the rain of bullets shot straight towards the old ancestor.

Something that violates natural science has happened, and the mysterious old man in the wilderness is not a person at all, and he can always dodge deadly bullets when his body twists easily, and it looks as bizarre from a distance as the science fiction movie Xiao Lotian watched in his previous life.

"Sir, don't be in love, ahem...... He's not dodging bullets, he's dodging everyone's minds...... This is a kind of secret magic power in Tibet, he can feel the direction and trajectory of our attack, and his magic power has locked our ......"

Xiao Letian heard that the white hair sweat came out, "What kind of thing? Magical powers? There are really magical powers in this world? Damn, I'd better run......" After speaking, Xiao Letian grabbed Long Ye with one hand and pushed him desperately.

Long Ye didn't care about the injury, he restrained Xiao Letian with his backhand, threw him on the horse's back, and then the knife light flashed on the horse's buttocks, and the war horse rushed in the direction of Tanggu.

"Sir, don't look back, the faster you go, the better...... Fireworks, emergency signals......"
