C1791 Water Dragon Up North (1/2)

Those who were able to survive in the late Qing were not simple people. They might not be able to learn anything from the west, but once they returned to the battlefield that they were familiar with, these people would feel as if they had become a completely different person.

What are they proficient at? It was nothing more than the combined actions of the various forces, the fake smiles on the stage acting as a show, the scheming and scheming under the stage, and the stabbing of knives in the dark.

No one would think about how the rise of the Manchu could solve this problem, even they could not understand.

The era of the great technological explosion in the Second Industrial Revolution had already arrived, and no one in the entire Qing Dynasty had any inkling of this. Let alone leading the entire world, they did not even have the thought of making a small breakthrough in a single industry.

Not to mention how to train the new army, even Chinese Army had already started to study how to infiltrate the troops while waiting in line to fire her rucksack after receiving a batch of and American instructors. They had already started to train their infantry and cannon skills, and they had even started to research on how to infiltrate the soldiers.

After Xiao Letian killed, Qing Dynasty's first thought was still the same as before. He wanted to kill as many people as he could, but no one could understand why Xiao Letian would dare to kill like that, or even what his purpose of killing like that was.

They did not understand, nor did they want to understand. The talent of a fool was to immediately think of his opponent as a fool and then use his stupid way of thinking to judge his opponent.

The only conclusion to his analysis was that Xiao Letian had gone crazy, he was completely muddled from the continuous victories, he wanted to declare war on the France, he was dead …

Based on this conclusion, the various powers started to move. Ci Xi and Yi Yuan had already worn pants, and the conservative faction that they represented had started to plot with Sha Russia and France.

The Minister of France actually gave the 6000 to 3 million Gold franc s an interest-free loan as well as 5 million Gold franc s an interest-free loan within his authority.

Although Sha Ro did not promise to pay, he did fund a bunch of weapons and even promised to secretly send a batch of top tier Cossack cavalry s for the six evil spirits to drive.

The Xishan Camp had already taken over one-third of the military spending each year. After that, Yang Zhi's printing shop would provide him with several million yuan of North Ticket, and with the financial support of France and Russia, the Yi family would be able to fly around as fast as if they had wings.

In the face of such a terrifying expansion of power, the reformist that Ci An represented could only lower her head. Ci An did not enter the Forbidden City meeting for five consecutive days, and at the beginning, he only felt a slight headache and fever.

A large sea like the North Sea was still unable to defeat the empress dowager's fire. After chasing after her, Ci An was about to go to the Chengde's mountain resort to rest. The important matters in the imperial court were all discussed by the Empress Dowager Xi and the various princes.

The officials failed to persuade her to stay three times in a row, and in the end they could only agree to the Empress Dowager's move to the mountain resort. Ci An's retreat had caused the authority of General Gui Six to soar. In an instant, everyone in the imperial court was panicking, and rumors spread all over the capital.

Just as the entire city was shrouded in confusion, a bolt of lightning suddenly came from the south. Ceng Guofan was slightly better off, he had already gone north by boat from Jiangning, and now, he was almost at the boundary of Shandong Province.

Who is Ceng Guofan? In the eyes of the world, he was the King of Jiangnan, and half of the mountains and rivers of Daqing had to listen to him. Under his command, 500 thousand Hu Ben was the number one military force in Asia, and even foreign devils would not dare to act rashly in front of him.
