137 Rumors of a sour taste

After the unbearable midsummer, the morning and evening in Beijing finally showed a little shade. Seeing the daylight fading and the leaves turned yellow, people realized that autumn was coming, and the thickened clothes were finally coming out.

This year, there was harmony between the city wells in Beijing. The Changmao Rebellion in the South had completely subsided last year. Although there were still some remnants in the chaos, it was no longer harmful to the overall situation. Although the Nian Army in Shandong and Henan were in great momentum, the court and the Hunan Army had already had the experience of pacifying the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. I believe there should be no problem in dealing with these bandits.

Not only is the war gradually extinguishing bringing a sense of security to the people, but the prices that are gradually falling in the market have also proved to people that the economy has recovered. After a year of recovery in the south, grain and various products can be transported in batches along the canal to the north. When the first ship of new southern rice this year approached the dock in Beijing, the grain prices in the city instantly dropped by 10%.

This is something that the people are concerned about. At that time, the streets and alleys were filled with roars calling for the emperor to live a long life, and the incense that prayed for the emperor to live forever in the major temples was three points tall.

This year's festive event is more than that. Not long ago, several foreign merchant ships came from Tanggu, transporting tens of thousands of stones of rice from Siam and Jiaozhi, and releasing the wind to bring the rice harvest of South Asia this year, and the price was extremely low. When these overseas rice entered Beijing along the Haihe River system, the price of grain was suppressed by 10%.

Since ancient times, the food price in China has been stable, and the people are stable. The world is full and the stomach is the most full. Faced with such good news, the old guys in the Hanlin Academy made a series of unnutritious memorials, and they blow the two empress dowagers and the emperor into the sky. However, the empress dowager, the emperor and the palace ministers all know the background of the incident. These rice have their origins. This is the flattery of the Tanggu merchants. They are creating momentum for Xiao Letian's righteous brother Fuqing.

I have to say that Lotte Foreign Store is very beautiful. After all, Fuqing is a high-ranking nobleman from the Three Banners. He added his achievements to him and put a gold on the face of the Eight Banners of Manchuria. Even the emperor is very proud of his face. The first update is that with this group of merchants, there will be fewer people who oppose Fuqing's sudden ascension to the top.

But the joy lasted only a few days. After a shocking rumor spread in Beijing, the heart of the old empire became irresistible, which was a sign of coronary heart disease.

"Oh, Master! Are you always walking around? Look at your face full of calmness and wind, I must not know the latest news that spread last night... Come on, I'll tell you..."

"Oh, his grandma, don't you tease me, right? Who started fighting with whom? The book-written Xiao Letian led people to fuck with the little Japanese? Damn, where is Ryukyu..."

"You are so lonely and ignorant. Ryukyu is an island country on the sea. It has been our vassal state since ancient times. I heard that it came to pay tribute during the Sui and Tang Dynasties, but it was secretly occupied by the Japanese sluts... Oh, wait for me to explain clearly, the matter here is complicated..."

People who were walking on the street gathered together regardless of Xiaoqiu's blushing faces. The excited spreaders all kinds of bizarre rumors. Updated as soon as possible

"You don't understand this. The so-called Daming in Japan actually occupies a territory that is not as big as our county. On weekdays, even Daming rarely eats fine grains. Some families only eat one meal a day... Yes! It's because they are poor, so they secretly sent troops to control the King of Ryukyu. He secretly traded with the Ming and Qing dynasties with the King of Ryukyu..."

"Oh, these guys are really despicable! They took advantage of our hundreds of years without hesitation?"

"Isn't it? These little sluts have lost money and have plundered Ryukyu Kingdom so pitiful. The dignified kings drink porridge and eat sweet potatoes every day, and the money is taken away by the Japanese..."

"Oh, isn't this the king of a devastated country? Tsk tsk tsk..." The crowd rushed over, and the gossiper stopped deliberately, took a sip of tea happily, enjoying the feeling of urging people. He took a long time to continue speaking. The first update was made.

"Tell you the truth. When the King of Ryukyu heard that a scholar had come to Shangguo, he didn't care whether he was an official or not. He actually wrote a blood letter to Xiao Letian for help... The eighteen eunuchs and masters in the palace broke the four Japanese ninja ronin blockades, almost killed one of them and died together, and then sent the blood letter to Xiao Letian..."

"Do you know that the battle against Ryukyu Palace was bloody and the strange people overseas even sacrificed their flying swords, and the colorful glow made the whole city red..."

Okay, this group of gossipers can really blew up, and it will become a monster novel in a short time. This is not the end of the update at the first time, and it will be even more outrageous when the rumors arrive in the tavern.

"Come on, brothers have done this...ah! If you want to say that Xiao Letian is really a character, this is the same as the drama. When he received the blood letter from the King of Ryukyu, he couldn't help but be furious. He stood on the top of the mountain of Naba, and behind him were hundreds of our Qing Dynasty's Green Forest Masters, even the great hero of the Northland, including Long Ye in it..."

"I saw Xiao Letian pointing to Naba City and shouting, "You are a small country and abdicated, how dare you the royal family? You must know that the Ryukyu Kingdom is a vassal of the Qing Dynasty." After saying that, he raised his arms and shouted, our top green forest master in the Qing Dynasty took advantage of the mountain and killed him. At the foot of the mountain were thousands of Japanese soldiers..."

The drinkers in the mutton restaurant were shocked. They forgot to press the charcoal fire in the copper hot pot. The flames rose half a foot high and almost burned the soup, but no one even thought of adding water and meat.

"Tell me quickly, what's wrong later..."

"Hahaha, how could Japan's small country be the opponent of our glorious Qing Dynasty? Although they bullied the small country of Ryukyu, when our Green Forest masters made a move, half of the city was killed... Xiao Letian held a white feather fan in his hand and set up the eight-door golden lock formation on the top of the mountain like Zhuge Kongming..."

"The little Japanese have never seen the power of going into battle. The Qimen Dunjia left by Zhuge Wuhou is not something they can crack. As soon as the Japanese army entered the army, ghost soldiers suddenly rose up, and the world changed color... In the end, there was no one alive!"

Well, in just half a day, Xiao Letian's image changed from a Western scholar to a monster who could call the wind, rain, sprinkle beans into soldiers. But no matter what, superstitious thoughts had a market at that time, otherwise, during the Boxer Rebellion, there would not be so many people who believed that drinking talisman water could block bullets, and swallowing incense ash could be invulnerable to swords and guns.

I was really afraid of anything I was going to do. Xiao Letian tried every means to suppress the news, but no matter how powerful he was, he could not control all foreign merchant ships. This information was first sent to Shanghai by foreigners, and it also spread from Shanghai to the inside of the Qing Dynasty.

Facts have proved that there was no secret at the foot of the emperor. When the information from foreigners was sent to the Forbidden City, it was not even a night before passing, and the entire Sijiu City was already in trouble.

It’s so exciting. The people in the Sijiu City, both Manchu and Han, all jumped up excitedly. The sales of wine in the capital increased by 30% for three consecutive days. More and faster chapters are invited. People gathered together and opened their mouths and said that Xiao Letian. When they were excited, they even danced as if he had seen it with his own eyes.

Look, there are still talented people in our dynasty. Although they suffered several losses in front of foreigners, are there not many white jade pillars in such a large empire that can stand up to the sky and purple gold beams? The Taiping Heavenly Kingdom has a Hunan Army with Zeng Guofan. Now the Nian Army turmoil is said to have been pacified well.

Now it's even more exciting. The master of Western learning actually brought only dozens of Green Forest heroes to pacify the capital of a country. Although the Japanese little sluts cannot be compared with the Western ghosts, they are also foreigners. And I heard that foreigners obediently listened to Xiao Letian's orders and fired fire to support the Han people.

The Qing Dynasty was indeed not exhausted, and Xiao Letian was indeed a good method. In 1865, in the late autumn of the fourth year of Tongzhi, Xiao Letian once again stirred up the hearts of the Qing Dynasty, just as a storm hit the capital, and everyone was crazy.

As the information was transmitted into the capital one by one, the details of the Naha battle began to gradually restore. When the common people heard that the Japanese dared to conspire to massacre the Chinese all over the city, they dared to lead their troops to attack the Ryukyu Kingdom, and finally they dared to bombard the city. This could have poked the lungs of the officials and the people.

The scenes of the British and French coalition forces entering Beijing are still lingering in front of the people, and the scenes of being bullied have not been forgotten. Now the Ryukyu vassal state has also suffered such a tragic encounter, and the perpetrator is actually Japan. Now the people's emotions are even more fanatical.

The people lived in teahouses, wine shops and even brothels to curse Japan's shamelessness. The Qingliu even jointly submitted memorials to demand that the court strictly handle Japan, just as the Grand Halal could control Japan.

Just as the city was full of fanaticism, Weng Tonghe, the leader of Qingliu, turned against his past calmness, and excitedly feasted his disciples and officials at his own banquet. During the banquet, the imperial teacher almost brought Xiao Letian to the sky.

"This is the same achievement as Chen Tang and Ban Dingyuan. It is a merit of pacifying a country's capital thousands of miles away. This is the merit of being a marquis... I want to submit a memorial, and you also want to submit a memorial to Xiao Letian, and give Xiao Letian the title of a marquis..."

"When Xiao Letian returns to the capital, I will apologize to him personally. In the past, I have short-sighted eyes. No matter what disputes I have with him in academic affairs, I must not stand by and watch the achievements of the national war. Are you willing to jointly sign with me?"

These monkeys who are so fucked with their tails are all the time. They are all studying the evil people. When they hear Weng Tonghe's words, they are all excited to get ready to go.

"Dare not obeying your orders! There is Xiao Letian in the country, and the Marquis of Xiao has emerged. Maybe he will be on par with Marshal Zeng in a few years..." The literati in the crowd burst into laughter and shouted that it was reasonable.

Xiao Letian, you are really looking for death. Are you worthy of such a great contribution? Do you know that there are four hundred ways to write the word "fennel bean"? Then don't you know the four hundred ways to kill a literati without a knife? Hahaha, you, a grass man who has no fame, can actually pacify a country? Just wait for the imperial power to cut you into pieces.

We are going to praise you now, and to make you so envious of thousands of people. Not to mention the emperor and the empress dowager, even if Zeng Dashuai is in a bad mood, he can easily kill you.

This group of carnival Qingliu really feels like a joke in the ashes, as if they can easily kill Xiao Letian with just moving their minds.

But no literati was willing to study what Japan is now? What is the situation in Ryukyu? Including how Xiao Letian inspired the 100,000 Chinese. In their eyes, those are all cheap things from lower-class vassal states, which are not enough to defile his honor.

The glorious Qing Dynasty, all countries come to pay tribute... Well, although the Western barbarians are a bit unpretentious, in Asia, especially East Asia, the Qing Dynasty will always be the boss. The fight between the two vassal states is probably just like two villages snatching water. What should I pay attention to? The man is not as patient as studying those barbarian countries that eat raw meat and drink blood.

"Xiao Letian is really lucky. He actually encountered such a coincidence that the barbarians had an internal strife. If I were there at that time, the pleasure of a scholar instructing the battlefield would definitely be unforgettable for a lifetime... Come on, let's drink this cup!"
