C3482 Summer-planting infighting (1/2)
Ceng Guofan's words were spoken extremely ruthlessly, to the point of making Yi Cong stupid.
This was not because Ceng Guofan was trying to scare people, but because the cruel reality was right in front of everyone!
”The outside world is moving at a tremendous pace. I don't even know what will happen in the future. The stronger and weaker countries become, the more they will never be able to recover!”
”How many more chances can the heavens give the Great Qing? Is there anyone else who can make up for the delay? ”
”His Majesty has been the most pure and pure emperor since the dynasty. He even went abroad to see the outside world … If a hero like him is unable to save Great Qing, who else do you think will turn the tide? ”
”If we were to change to another one with impure laws, it would probably be a waste of 90% of our efforts to resolve the internal conflicts. Do you even have the energy to build it?”
”In such a big Great Qing, I can't even make a rifle, and you're still fighting inside? and you're still worried about developing your economy? ”
”Fifth Master, you are the capital's famous Heroic King. The late emperor has always loved and respected you. If you don't protect this nephew of his, who else can His Majesty expect?”
”My twenty thousand soldiers will stay in Zhuozhou, not even taking a single step forward …” ”But you must remember, this is what you will rely on when you have no other choice!”
Ceng Guofan's words completely stunned Yi Cong. He muddle-headedly walked out of the Forbidden City, and muddle-headedly went to find Weng Tonghe, surrounded by his servants.
That evening, the vanguard unit went to protect Yi Cong, Weng Tonghe and the others as they set out to leave the capital!
The capital's Heroic King, Yi Cong, although noble as a prince, he was just a chess piece in the hands of the marshal.
Lord Fifth's fate for Yi Cong had also undergone a huge change from today!
On the night that the Fifth Master left the capital, the entire Beijing fell into a state of agitation. The all-pervasive Eight Flag bastards had long investigated the situation in the imperial court and countless of them took this piece of news to drink.
Inside Prince Gong's Mansion, in the Flower Hall beside the bat pond, General Gui Liu and Brother Yi Xuan were drinking cold wine together. There was not a single servant nearby, and even the food had turned cold yet no one to change.
”Sixth brother …” Sister-in-law told me to deliver a message, that no matter what, I can't let Xiao Letian's troops enter the Beijing again … Don't cause trouble with Ceng Guofan! ”
”Sixth brother, can you say something …” Are you really preparing to go to Zhuozhou to face off against the West Hill? ”That would really be able to wipe the gun and cause a fire to go off …”
”It's been two years since we've had such an easy time. Let's not waste anymore time and energy …”
What Yi Xuan said was right, Great Qing's economic development in the past two years was not bad.
Although there was still a war in the Northwest Xinjiang, Zuo Zongtang had already promised to raise his own army, so the imperial government could just give him a name!
In the beginning of spring this year, Ministry of Internal Affairs had even allocated a portion of silver to repaint some of the dilapidated palaces in the Forbidden City.
”The tax revenue has increased over the past two years, and the Ministry of Revenue has also seen some surpluses... ”The thing is, the people living in the capital city are doing quite well. Even normal people can eat rice and flour every few days!”
”Such a good day, let's not waste it!”
Gui Six did not say a word after being persuaded by his brother. His face was so dark that it seemed unsightly. In the end, he was forced by his brother to throw the ivory chopsticks into the Bat Pool.
”Bro, have you gone stupid!?” What was there to be happy about? This is all Xiao Letian's fault! ”
”Nonsense! Tongzhi is in the middle of the fight! Bullshit! What the hell is going on these days, don't you know? Or are you pretending to be stupid? ”
