808 Dead Hole
In the deep winter of the sixth year of Tongzhi, a madwoman shook the entire Qing Dynasty with a famous saying, and by the way, it shook the entire East Asia, and also hit Xiao Letian's death hole.
Using the fast telegraph network, Xiao Letian soon knew the famous saying that Cixi said in the later generations, 'Measure China's material resources, form a friendship with the country', as long as you can keep your own wealth, then this Qing country is not a few pieces of meat, and people simply don't care.
Because from the bones of the Manchu nobles have always believed that the Central Plains is the property of the Han people, they have never wanted to integrate themselves into it, and it is clear from looking at the closed Guanwai Jiangshan that the Manchus have always been preparing for the worst.
Cixi can not love this land, but Xiao Letian can't, Cixi's knife really hit the death hole of almost all elite Hanchen.
After Zeng Guofan heard this, he called his brother Zeng Guoquan, the ninth handsome, to the study, and the two brothers locked the door and drank.
After Zuo Zongtang, who was far away in Xi'an, heard this, his emotions were difficult to control for a while, and he actually led his own barracks to raid the enemy camp on a snowy night, and the grief and indignation of the marshal aroused the blood and courage of ten thousand troops, and he was defeated three times in a snowy night, beheading three thousand prisoners and countless prisoners.
After Weng Tongyong, who was far away in the Ryukyus, heard this, he thought about it behind closed doors for two days and two nights, and the rice did not enter, and finally the little emperor Zaichun knocked on the door to force the master to drink a little water.
The hearts of the people in Gyeonggi were shaken, the hearts of the people in Jiangnan were shaken, the hearts of the people in the Qing Dynasty were shaken, and in the end, even the small East Asian countries such as Korea and Fuso were dumbfounded and at a loss.
Not only them, but even the foreign envoys in Dongjiaomin Lane are collectively silent at this moment, it is said that they should shout loudly, but as diplomatic envoys, they know the truth that they can't be too ugly, although they have some little excitement in their hearts, but they have to show a light breeze on the surface, and even hope that the imperial court will be calm and peaceful coexistence with the Ryukyus.
The influence of this sentence is too great, although he hit the death hole of Xiao Letian and others, but it also made the prestige of the imperial court drop to the freezing point, and those people of insight were shocked to find that the barbarism in the hearts of the hearts of the original two hundred years of fusion has not been erased at all.
The so-called Manchu family is a hoax through and through.
Xiao Lotian held an emergency meeting in the Prime Minister's Mansion, and his important ministers gathered to discuss the response, and in the flower hall of more than 300 square meters, there was green smoke of cigars everywhere, and there was strong tea in the white porcelain teacup, and the precious treasures in the flower hall were smoked half to death, but no one felt sorry for the flowers, and everyone's eyes were scarlet.
"Brethren...... I have to admit that Cixi's counterattack did hit our dead end, and our counterattack plan could not be carried out......" Xiao Letian's lonely voice was exchanged for a buzzing discussion.
Raising his hand to suppress Xiao Letian, he continued, "Shamelessness is the pass of the shameless, and nobility is the epitaph of the noble!" I deeply believe this sentence, just because we love this country and we love this land, so we are fighting the enemy with our hands and feet......
"The war master in the porcelain shop is destined to suffer the most, because these bottles and cans belong to him...... And the foreign thief will not care, he will take your family's property and even your wife and children to threaten you, a madman can really do something that will end in the same fate!"
"In the past few days, the Prime Minister's Mansion has carried out many weapon deductions, do you know what the most terrible consequences are? Let me tell you......" Xiao Letian lifted the red silk on the sand table, and a huge East Asian geographical sand table appeared in front of everyone's eyes.
"If the talks between the Ryukyus and the Manchus finally collapse and talk about the point of fighting each other, it is very likely that the Manchus will repeat the strategy of pacifying the Taiping army, which is to hire foreigners to fight......"
The Yangtze River valley has always been the British's sphere of influence, and if the concessions in Shanghai are expanded, and in Nanjing, Wuhan, Chongqing, and even Jiujiang, Wuhu, Jingzhou, and other places, the concessions are opened to the British, then I can foresee that the British will definitely send troops to intervene militarily!"
"And Guangdong, which is close to Hong Kong, and the British don't mind expanding their dominion......"
"Our enemy France is not to be outdone, they will definitely not let go of the interests of Annam and Guangxi, and they will definitely seek the same interests as the British in Jiangnan, once these two tigers are released, half of the economic lifeline of Jiangnan will no longer belong to us......"
"This is not the most terrible thing, Britain and France, including the United States, Prussia and other countries, are more about establishing colonies for the ultimate goal, they don't want the sovereignty of the country, and the Russians in the north have too much appetite for land......"
"If Xinjiang is cut away, then the land of Ganxi and Shaanxi will directly become the frontier front, and the complex ethnic issues will make it even more turbulent, and the more than 1.6 million square kilometers of land in Xinjiang, are we willing to throw it away? He is willing to be reluctant, I Xiao Letian is reluctant, and all Han people are also reluctant to ......."
"The Western Regions! That's our apprentice who has been operating since the Han Dynasty, thousands of years of ups and downs are finally now controlled in the hands of the Central Plains civilization, if we lose it again, I'm afraid history won't give us more opportunities to take it back, if we lose it this time, it will be lost forever!"
"Do you agree!" Xiao Letian's anger aroused the anger of everyone present, and everyone roared: "If you don't agree, let's lead our troops north and destroy this court!"
The crowd was passionate, but Xiao Hexin and Wang Huaiyuan were unusually calm: "Have you forgotten what the adults taught before?
"Don't forget, the Manchus and the Western powers have signed treaties, and although they have lost their power and humiliated the country, the treaty also proves that the Manchus are the legitimate government recognized by the Western powers and the legitimate government of China recognized by all nations!"
"If we lead our troops north, that is a rebellion, and that will give the Westerners an excuse for military intervention!"
"With the current strength of the Manchus in the land of Gyeonggi, our existing military strength in the Ryukyus is enough to easily defeat it, and it is not a difficult thing to break through the city of Beijing again and drive the Manchus out...... But is it just to drive the Manchus out of Beijing?"
"A little war has become protracted, and we need to gradually conquer city by city, and the shortcomings of our troops will be fully revealed! We are now fully calculated, and with only 20,000 people in the recruit training camp, we will not be able to control such a large Chinese ...... at all."
"Civil war, but it is another civil war, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom has just fallen, will the people still have to go through a bloody war? The population will drop by several hundred million?"
"Even if we can defeat the Manchus in the end, how can we defeat the allied forces in the west? If the main forces of the British and French navies are dispatched, how will our Ryukyus be defended? The Russian Cossack regiments in the north will pour out, and what will we use to stop them?"
