For the Qing Dynasty, the so-called regular army, that is, the ability to throw troops across provinces without demoralization, and the conduct of large-scale in-depth operations will not produce a strong war-weariness, coupled with the proficiency of some new firearms, which is already the elite of the elite in the eyes of the court officials.

What? You say you want to train a stronger army that can fight the foreigners? What do you want to do? If you want to rebel, you can't do it? Such an army is a complete nightmare for the Manchu court.

In fact, sometimes the Manchurian high-level people are a little grateful to Agubai who caused trouble in Xinjiang and the Russians behind him, and they took away 60,000 elites of the Hunan Army Group at once, don't underestimate this number, this can be regarded as the essence of the Hunan Army Group, in the late Qing Dynasty, there were 60,000 people who went west out of Yangguan to fight with foreigners, which can already be called the essence of the entire Qing army.

For such an elite, the attitude of the Manchus is very clear, since it is not trained by the imperial court itself, it can only be prevented and not raised, what do the Han people want such an elite army to do.

Of course, Zuo Zongtang is still in the Ganxi area to quell the Hui rebellion, and in real history, when he carried the coffin into Xinjiang, it would be the first year of Guangxu, that is, in 1875, and now no one knows how many real elites Zuo Zongtang can bring out from the Hunan army.

Through the comparison of such data, the domestic combat effectiveness of the Qing Dynasty should not exceed 100,000 people who can reach the level of soldiers entering Xinjiang, and Xiao Letian is ready to help Zaichun train an army of 80,000 in more than ten years, which is already a little bragged, and now Zaichun wants 100,000 when he opens his mouth, which makes Xiao Letian, who is thick-skinned than the city wall, unable to listen to it.

"Stop dreaming, pack up and get ready to go back to Ryukyu, that teacher of yours is coming......"

At the mention of Weng Tongxiao, the little emperor's face suddenly became bitter, thinking back to the emperor's serious academic style, and then thinking about Xiao Letian's relaxed education routine, he felt that his good days were coming to an end.

Xiao Lotian saw Zaichun's entanglement, sighed and said, "Do you really think that you don't care about going out to study in the imperial court? Your studies are related to the future fate of the empire, how can they not care?"

"In this small year, your performance has impressed the city of Beijing, forcibly conscripting 300 banners to train and form your own pro-army in the Ryukyus, and then you made a Fusang bank and sent four million taels of silver to the imperial court, and if you don't attract people's attention, then there are ghosts......"

"It's not that the master is supporting me in the back to give me ideas, but it's not okay to point to me......"

Xiao Lotian went up to the little emperor's head and it was a brain melon collapse, "Okay, don't talk nonsense, pack up the gifts that those big names gave you, and we will set off in three days, I have eaten enough sashimi in this belly......"

In the last three days, Xiao Rakuten and the Fuso shogunate and local lords again held intensive talks, this time to discuss the construction of telegraph lines, from Kagoshima to two main lines, one through Shikoku to Osaka and then straight to Edo.

Now that Xiao Letian's envoy has reached an agreement with North Korea, the telegraph line can transit from North Korea, one can directly enter the White Mountain and Heishui, and the other goes straight to Tanggu, so that the telegraph network from Ryukyu to Beijing can be connected.

At the same time, the submarine cable connecting the Ryukyus to Shanghai, Fuzhou, and Hong Kong can be laid in a little more than a month, and then the Ryukyus will become the place where the submarine telegraph network spans the Pacific Ocean and the center of information exchange, and the international status will be rolled upward.

Half-jokingly, if Ryukyu becomes a communication transit point between Asia and the North American continent, even the Western powers will be reluctant to kill it, and even if a war starts, they will follow up with the porcelain shops.

Fuso and North Korea allowed the Ryukyu Telegraph Company to lay telegraph lines, not for nothing, on the one hand, their governments could try telegraph lines for free, and on the other hand, they could also get a piece of the annual telegraph line revenue.

In the middle of the nineteenth century, when telegraph technology was just popularized, the price of sending a telegram was amazingly expensive, and it was a high-end product used by dignitaries and business tycoons.

And as long as the capital is back, all that is left is a small amount of maintenance, and then a steady stream of wealth can be earned until the advent of radio technology takes its place.

Not to mention that Asian monarchs have been brainwashed by Confucianism and become stubborn, in fact, for those small countries, it is too late to be happy when someone gives them a big business that is sure to make money without losing money, and the limited opposition is also drowned out in an instant.

After two days of bargaining, the plan for the distribution of profits of the telegraph line in Japan was finally completed, and with the expectation of making money, people happily toasted, and during the banquet, Matsudaira Rongbo, the lord of the Aizu domain, also brought the latest news, a news that made Xiao Lotian very satisfied.

"Your Majesty, Prime Minister, there is the latest news from the Edo ninja...... The Fog Hidden Imp has been arrested and is now on his way to Osaka Castle, with a total of 1,000 soldiers escorting him to ensure that nothing goes wrong!"

"Hmm, caught, or alive, good, good...... I'd like to see why this great shogunate hates me so much!"

"I, Xiao Letian, can see through the trajectory of this world, but I just can't understand what this crazy woman thinks......"

Xiao Letian was not wrong, since he crossed over, he could see through most things, but this foggy imp was an exception.

The willingness to support all kinds of human behavior is nothing more than two words, one is profit, and the other is righteousness! The word profit is very easy to explain, people die for money, birds die for food, hungry and anxious, and they can rob and kill people for a steamed bun, not to mention other greater interests.

And righteousness is actually a certain morality that people abide by in their hearts, for example, the bushido in the hearts of the white tiger boys is a kind of righteousness. Maybe many warriors shout long live the spirit of bushido, but subconsciously they still want to improve their status and increase their income through the way of martial arts, which is actually a benefit.

And the White Tiger boys, the spirit of doing everything for the sake of the lord, is completely detached from interests, and only relies on the noble spirit in their hearts to forget about death.

These are the two ultimate keys to breaking through the fog of people's hearts, as long as you can understand these two rules, then the analysis of everything in the world will not be too flawed.

But as for this foggy little ghost, Xiao Letian couldn't understand it at all, and there was no other explanation except for using a madman to describe her.

"What the hell is she for? This is the biggest mystery in Xiao Letian's heart!"
