The Qing Dynasty has never been a whole, and those insiders like Ci'an have a clear understanding of this. If France chooses to form an alliance with the Qing Dynasty to deal with Xiao Letian, there will be no trick for the people.

However, the veterans in the political arena can definitely see the tricks from it. Although they appear to be close to the Qing Dynasty, they still have to choose a partner to be specific to a certain person.

People who are not in the political circle do not understand the definition of many secret treaties at all. Treaties between countries, especially secret treaties, are not actually cooperation between countries, but only cooperation between people.

For example, this secret alliance against Xiao Letian was the French Emperor Napoleon III who found a partner he trusted in the East.

This partner will definitely not be a country or an organization. What is a country? What is an organization? Can you breathe? Can you talk? Can you drink and chat with me? Will you pick up girls with me?

All of them cannot be done. The contract is just a piece of paper. In the end, it depends on people to execute it. It is the people rather than the country that jointly eliminates Xiao Letian.

There were too many factions that could be chosen in the Qing Dynasty, but not many had troops in their hands. Zeng Guofan was one, the Eight Banners Green Camp controlled by the imperial court was one, and the other was Yi's Xishan New Army.

Now it seems that the best choice is Yi. Zeng Guofan's identity as a Han Chinese was very sensitive. The Eight Banners and Green Camp of the imperial court had long been crippled by foreigners. Now it seems that Yi's new army can still catch the eyes of the French. In addition, Yi's belly has a similar stinky smell.

"What stupid thing Xiao Letian did! He didn't think about it. The stronger the army of the Japanese Six, wouldn't the threat to him in the future? How could he stimulate Yi in disguise? To form an alliance with the French?"

"How can Zaichun take charge of power then? How could the Japanese Sixth Guardian lose their military power easily? Xiao Letian, don't you really want Zaichun to take charge of power?"

Fu Qing frowned and said, "It should...it shouldn't be! He Xiao Letian and Yi are not dealt with, and they force themselves to form an alliance with the French, which will not do him any good!"

"I think... I think he was so confused after the big victory. That Molière was too resentful in the Chinese people. Xiao Letian would not be able to calm the public's anger if he didn't kill him. He was forced to that point!"

"I'm confused! I'm still talking for him now? Kill people and kill them well, what a gimmick! I'm still burying them alive and casting a kneeling statue. Isn't this method just arousing the Emperor crazy?"

"I can't think of any other intentions in Xiao Letian. He is just arrogant. The successive victory makes him not know how much he has!"

The panting Ci'an held the rocks in his hand and wanted to sit for a while. Fu Qing quickly snatched a step and sat on the rocks. He smiled and said, "The stones are cold, so sit here!" After that, he patted his thighs.

Ci'an, who was already angry, saw Fuqing's attentive appearance. When he thought about the rain just now, his anger immediately dissipated. He spat gently and sat on Fuqing's lap with his butt.

The eunuchs and palace maids who followed not far away were like they had no eyes. They had no expressions at all for such scenes. They naturally turned their heads and alerted the left and right to surveillance the empress dowager.

"Okay, don't be angry... Didn't the Queen Mother say before that the dog biting people will not bark. The more the Japanese Six is ​​now, the more they push themselves to a dangerous position. After all, the Qing Dynasty is still the emperor. Emperor Tongzhi's position is as stable as Mount Tai, so how can it be so easy to rebel..."

Ci'an held Fu Qing's shoulder and sighed, "I'm just afraid that these people are out of patience and can't wait... Zai Chun's child is also an anxious temper. If he takes power, he will never use terrazzo skills to slowly deal with Yi? If he comes up, he might be hard-pressed..."

"And Yi? When he was competing with the late emperor for a great treasure, he almost won. Do you think he has no resentment in his heart for so many years? I'm telling you the truth... If the late emperor really managed the country well, the Japanese Six would have no idea."

"But unexpectedly, the first emperor ascended the throne and the long-haired rebellion, and then Britain and France broke through the capital... There was indeed a group of people inside the Eight Banners who were gossiping. They thought that Master Daoguang had chosen the wrong person, so why not choose Yi at that time? Come on..."

"He is so successful in the new army of the Japanese 6th. Do you guess there is any trick behind this? In fact, I feel chill when I think about it. It is precisely because many people think that they will send their children and nephews to Xishan..."

"Does the Ai family be blind? Those families have already started betting on both ends!"

Fu Qing himself is a child who grew up in the Eight Banners circle. He has seen many such big family members who have not fallen through several dynasties. He is not a versatile mind.

Those people will never be loyal to the emperor. Betting from multiple sources is their philosophy of survival. No matter who comes to power, they can quickly stick it. This is their ability.

"What should we do? We have to keep the emperor!" Fu Qing said worriedly.

"If you want to protect the emperor, you have to protect ourselves first! How much controllable is you have in your hands now?" Ci'an asked coldly.

Fuqing carefully calculated, "There is a lot of money. Currently, the funds that can be used directly are more than 10 million yuan. The remaining ones are fixed assets, and they cannot be moved, but they have very generous returns every year..."

"The most difficult thing is actually the soldiers... I now hide more than 200 guards loyal to the Queen Mother in Tanggu City, and they hide them in Xiao Letian's new army like sand. I also learn real skills!"

"I hid three hundred in Yi County, and six hundred people in Jiangnan... The limit is now, this is the limit I can achieve. No matter how many, I am afraid I will be noticed..."

Fuqing was not fighting alone. He and a group of people gathered under Ci'an and have always regarded themselves as the Qing Dynasty Reformers. These people supported the establishment of the Telegram Network, supported the establishment of the ironclad navy, and even supported the construction of railways...

The old school represented by the Reformers and Cixi Yi is completely two parties with different ideas. The competition between the two sides is still very fierce, but at present, the old school is still relatively strong, because most of the army is in the hands of the old school.

But Ci'an and Fuqing knew the cruelty of the internal struggles of the court. If there is no money or soldiers, they will die. In recent years, Fuqing continued to have a relationship with Xiao Letian. He used Ci'an's private money to use countless relationships and bought a lot of industries for the reformists.

Telegraph companies, factories, southern stock markets, Ryukyu shops... do whatever they make. After they have money, they start to collect loyal talents and prepare to secretly form their own iron-core troops.

Fu Qing is still capable. His assets exceeded 100 million in just a few years, and his controllable warriors reached 1,000, and everything was carried out in secret, so the court did not know at all.

What Ci'an loves is that Fu Qing is capable. Not only is he capable in bed, but he is also capable in doing careers. He has no abilities in the Eight Banners' children bragging and playing dandy.

The more I looked at this man, the more I loved him. Finally, I couldn't help but go up and kissed Xiang, "Don't be stupid, I know it's hard for you. It's hard for you to do this... Don't worry, the Ai family has a way!"
