Next chapter

"If you fight, you will fight, what is the matter with burning, killing and plundering? Bai Layi's 2.4 million quintals of rice were actually burned by a fire, what is this not evil?"

"Don't talk about the cliché that war is everything, is it better to fight a national war in Asia now......? Until now, neither the Ryukyus nor Russia have declared war!"

"Borneo is not less than tens of thousands of miles away from the Far East of the Ryukyus, and if the grain there wants to go north, it must pass through thousands of rivers and mountains, and it is not military food at all! Cao Cao burned military grass back then, Zhuge Liang and Zhou Yu also burned military grass, but I have never heard of anyone who would burn the people's rations!"

"Xiao Letian has made it clear in the secret telegram to me that the grain stored by Bai Layi is actually the future life-saving food of Zhili Province! Tanggu Special Zone, Sijiu City, including Zhili Shanxi and other places, once there is a famine in Yanzhòng, Xiao Lotian will mobilize the rice there to relieve the famine!"

"Damn! I am now the governor of the Qing Dynasty, and the Rakshasa ghost burns Lao Tzu's grain!" The big handsome man was furious, and he regained the gangster spirit of the past war years, and the people present who slapped the table and scolded were all dumbfounded.

People secretly cursed in their hearts, who released false information before! Didn't you say that the handsome man couldn't get out of bed even if he was sick? Who did he lie to with this kind of full anger?

Damn, I knew that the handsome tiger was still powerful, and I was full of opposition?

scolded and scolded, but the people present really admired the remarks of the marshal, and for some generals with high understanding, these words were tantamount to breaking through the confusion and enlightenment.

In a word, it is the way of the emperor, and it directly points out the true nature of the ups and downs of power in the world and even the change of dynasties.

Let's take the end of the Ming Dynasty and the beginning of the Qing Dynasty as an example, why did King Chuang destroy the Ming Dynasty and in the end it was the Manchu people outside the Guanwai who got the benefits?

How did King Chuang treat the princes of the Ming Dynasty? Forced Chongzhen to hang himself and cooked King Fu and ate it. Let's look at how he dealt with the officials and landlords? After attacking the city of Beijing, he went from house to house to raid houses, torture them to extract confessions, and rob money.

At that time, wasn't King Chuang just the angry bull that the commander said? He only knew that he had rammed headlong and forced all the forces in the world to his opposite, and not only did he have no intention of sharing, but he even closed the door to negotiations.

On the other hand, the Manchus were much more cunning, breaking through the defense line of the Great Wall again and again, and returning to the border with the spoils of war again and again.

More importantly, he did not close the door to negotiations, the Jin merchant group in Shanxi had secret contact with them, and the Mongol nobles in the northern steppes also concluded an alliance with the Manchus, and the Han Chinese were able to accept them according to the rules.

Even Wu Sangui's daughter-in-law was ruined by King Chuang, and everyone could think of revenge for Lao Wu for the first time.

It's not that the Manchurians in history did a good job, right, and well...... It's just that in that great era when the sky collapsed and order was rebuilt, what they did was a little bit better than King Chuang, and that was enough for a little bit of good.

For the people, life is not perfect, sometimes it is a helpless situation of choosing one of the two, the king and the Manchu Qing Dynasty, the two options to replace the Ming Dynasty, people can only choose the relatively better one, and can not find the perfect one.

Looking at the entire history of the change of dynasties in China, it is clear who will fail and who can succeed with such a ruler to weigh.

The eyes of everyone looking at the handsome man became more and more admired, and they couldn't help but sigh secretly in their hearts. It would be nice if the marshal was a little younger, even if he was ten years younger, we would have to force the marshal to rebel!

Zeng Guofan guessed what everyone was thinking, he shook his head with a wry smile, and sighed in his heart: "Silly boys, where is this my thought! I used to have a vague outline, but in fact, it was no one else who put forward this theory...... It's Xiao Lotian that you have been looking down on!"

Zeng Guoquan, who didn't know how to do it, suddenly had Xiao Letian's annoying face in his mind, and he secretly said in his heart, "Big brother never hides from me if he has something to say, and the emperor's mental tricks he has comprehended have never been hidden from me, but I have never heard of this set of theories...... Does that have anything to do with that person?"

"It would be terrible if it was really what the man said...... In this way, Xiao Lotian has actually been raising obscurity until now? This guy who pretends to be a pig and eats a tiger has been playing this game of breaking the balance and then reshaping the balance?"

Xiao Letian, a cunning fox, will not make a big fuss every time he clashes with other forces. He's always engaged in skirmishes, and then gives a sweet date back down when his opponent is about to get completely angry out of control......"

"This is true for the Manchus, it is true for Westerners, and even more so for Fuso...... Damn, this little bastard, every time he breaks the balance a little, and then in the process of rebuilding the balance, he will earn himself a lot of benefits. Once, twice, countless times......"

"It wasn't until you finally realized that he was already an enemy that you were horrified to find that Xiao Lotian had become an invincible behemoth!"

Zeng Guoquan couldn't believe his judgment, if this was true, then Xiao Letian would be too terrible, did he inadvertently grab so many benefits like a thief?

Could it be that Xiao Le is the one who really has the ability to win? Oops...... It is very likely that Xiao Letian's biggest advantage is age, so young and so old and spicy, just a little bit of hope, and then a little bit of accumulation of strength.

Maybe one day before people understand what's going on, he Xiao Lotian has become the most powerful man in Asia, and what does he want to do at that time Wouldn't it be a foot of the stream and leap over?

Thinking of this, Zeng Guoquan's brain began to sweat, and at this moment, his eloquence could not be used, and the eyes thrown to him by the generals next to him were invisible, so he took care of wiping his sweat.

Everyone can understand the big reason of the big handsome, and everyone can't and dare not refute the truth of the big handsome, but once the matter involves their own interests, people naturally choose to pretend to be stupid and avoid it.

There is a thought in everyone's hearts, even if Xiao Letian is really as analyzed by Dashuai, he will finally win, and then Nan Piao will regain his past purchasing power.

But what does this have to do with us? Shouldn't we take advantage of the present good opportunity to eat more of our industries?

Zeng Guofan looked at the hesitant gazes of the people below, and knew that greed had blinded their minds, and this was not something that could be persuaded by reasoning alone.

Thinking of this, Zeng Guofan glanced at the old farmer, the old farmer nodded slightly, and then quietly exited the White Tiger Festival Hall through the back door.
