People are selfish. As the saying goes, cutting off people's wealth is like killing parents. Reforms will always cut off the old people's wealth and give way to new people. This kind of social change is originally cruel.

If the imperial court wants to build a telegraph line, then millions of soldiers from the post station nationwide will be laid off. Didn’t the King of Chuang Li Zicheng, who was the one who entered the torrent of rebellion after the post station was laid off?

If the court wants to build a railway network, then millions of people who eat the Grand Canal will go bankrupt, and the Yancao Gang will have to rebel against the court. Don’t forget that the Qing Gang has always been a very powerful force in modern China. The revolutionary party led by Sun Yat-sen did not owe others the Qing Gang favors, and many Kuomintang bosses were themselves the bosses of the Qing Gang.

It is really that easy to smash the old industries, not to mention that there are countless people in power in these outdated industries that seep into them. Manchu nobles and Han powerful ministers did not absorb nutrients directly or indirectly from here.

Now Ci'an wants to carry out reforms and support the reformists. This can hit the lungs of all the powerful people. What are you waiting for if you don't fight for your life?

Cixi tried hard to smash and scolded her desperately. The two princes looked as if they were ashen. They knew very well that Ci'an's conditions were easy to say. Even if they were given to Fuqing's first-rank high-ranking officials, it didn't matter, but reforms were not enough, because reforms would be to smash other people's jobs.

"What medicine did Ci'an take wrong? I think it was Fuqing's little face that fascinated her. I just looked at her. There was definitely a ghost in these two people's eyes... Damn it, we didn't wrong him at all." Yi? said fiercely.

Yihuan also changed his face at this time, and he was no longer as confused as before. "Yes, Ci'an did not return to the Forbidden City and wanted to stay in Jingshan. It probably has something to do with this. What a couple may do this during this period. It's really embarrassing and ruining the face of the court..."

"Empress Dowager, what should we do now? We can't agree to Ci'an's conditions at all. The great dynasty will not be able to pass it at all. Even if we agree, the other important officials of Manchu and Han Dynasty cannot agree... But if we don't agree, should we continue to fight? Then Xiao Letian will come here..."

Yi?'s question made the three people present silent. Thinking about Xiao Letian's elusive and incompetent ideas, everyone present was shuddered.

To be honest, the court did not believe that Xiao Letian had the strength to overthrow the Qing Dynasty. A small Ryukyu Kingdom and an army of more than 2,000 people could be so powerful.

The court just wanted face, so it did not send a large army to attack. If the Hunan Army or the Huai Army were really used, even the Mongolian Legion of the Outer Pass could easily annihilate Xiao Letian.

But Xiao Letian, a messenger, has too many tricks. Xiao Letian has a navy, so this kid can retreat to the sea to be a pirate and try his best to stir up the shoreline of the Qing Dynasty. Who can stand it?

In addition, Xiao Letian has a very close relationship with foreigners. It depends on the ambiguous Americans towards Xiao Letian. If there was no trick behind them, they would have seen the ghost. The current Qing Dynasty's fear of foreigners has long been engraved into the bones.

What is most worrying is of course the evil tricks that Xiao Letian bewitched people, including newspapers, flyers, and wall painting... From Beijing City to the countryside of Zhili, he will not let go of any popular places.

The people can be used to do so, but they should not be known. The people just rely on fooling around? You let the lower class know that the country is secret. Isn’t this a nonsense? What treaty the emperor signed has nothing to do with the people? How can the court’s indemnity be known?

It was this almost rogue method of stirring up shit, which made Man Qing dizzy. Although he didn't say anything, he was deeply afraid of Xiao Letian.

Just when the hall was silent, An Dehai suddenly walked in quickly, "Report to the Empress Dowager, Weng Tong and Weng Zhongtang asked for a meeting, saying that there was a hundred thousand urgent information..."

"Well, this is not messy enough. Don't mess with him, a civil servant... Forget it, let's meet."

Cixi met an old man in the Yangxin Palace. The East Warehouse was so messy that the eunuchs were cleaning up.

"Please pay tribute to the Queen Mother, and to the Prince..." After seeing the ceremony, the old man went straight to the topic "Empress Dowager, why didn't you see Meer? Although Meer was defeated, he had fought with Xiao Letian twice after all, so it would be good to listen to his experience."

"When I returned home, I happened to see Meller being taken away. I saw that he had something to say, but I didn't expect Meller to carry a treasure. He had a detailed description of Xiao Letian's new army's weaknesses."

The old man took out the note and handed it over. Cixi and the other two knew that they had made the wrong one at a glance. "Oh, this is the Ai family that is confused. If I had known Mele had this note, the Ai family would have to give him a chance to speak..."

Yi and Yihuan almost said in unison, "Old man, don't waste time, just say whatever you think..."

Weng Tonghe said coldly, "The Empress Dowager Dong is so tough, maybe she really secretly ordered Xiao Letian to enter the capital. Li Shaoquan did the right thing and set up an ambush between Tanggu and Wuqing. As long as she defeated Xiao Letian's new army, Ci'an's reliance will naturally be gone..."

"Xiao Letian has a young soldier, but he is very strong. It is probably not enough to count on the three thousand people in Li Shaoquan's hands. Let's mobilize troops from the capital. If we mobilize as many soldiers as we can, we will even drown him..."

"Didn't this comment be said? Xiao Letian has no cavalry, so we will send cavalry to the capital to use all the war horses. Even if the cavalry is not enough, we will use war horses to trample on..."

Speaking of this, Weng Tonghe's eyes showed a hint of cruelty, "If it still doesn't work, then recruit local people. If it's not enough, it's 20,000 yuan, it's 50,000 yuan. If it's not enough, it's 50,000 yuan. I don't believe that Xiao Letian will not be able to die."

Hiss, there was a sound of gasping in the hall. No one expected that Weng Tong and the civil servant were so cruel, and they actually thought of driving the people to be flesh shields.

"Old... Old man, this is a bit inappropriate..." In the end, even the two princes couldn't stand it anymore.

"It's not appropriate. After Xiao Letian's Western learning swept the world, and when China becomes a country of beasts, it will be too late to regret it. What is Western learning? It's nothing more than teaching people to fight against heaven and earth, and fighting with similar people. What they believe in is nothing more than the strong. If all the people believe in these things, then our society will become a ghost..."

"I am not killing people for profit, I am killing people for the great way of the world..." Before he finished speaking, he heard a rumbling sound of thunder outside the hall. The heavy rain that Sister Wu said finally came at this moment.

To the west of Tianjin Wei, the sky was covered with clouds. It was already past twelve o'clock, but the weather was so gloomy that it was almost time to trench. A long blue dragon rolled forward in the field, and the villages on both sides of the dragon were silent.

"Each unit quickly sends people to collect the tart cloth... It's going to rain soon, everyone has wrapped the ammunition and grenades... and distributed the cloaks, and all units in the scheduling teams quickly..."

"There is no hot food at noon... There is a food supply site three miles ahead, one piece of dry noodles for each person, and one person canned meat, and drink it in cold water..."

"Accelerate... marching urgently. Tianjin has only 130 kilometers from Beijing. From now on, we will have six hours of marching urgently. When it gets dark, we will see the Beijing city wall..."

"Brothers... don't let your breath go out in your heart... Whether it's raining or knife, the new army can only move forward and always move forward..."

The new army's long dragon is moving forward unceasingly, and the officers in the team are inspiring morale. The upcoming heavy rain not only does not trap the new army's footsteps, but instead makes the soldiers' morale even higher.

Xiao Letian galloped around the long dragon. Whenever his figure appeared, he could be heard in exchange for bursts of shouting. With him, no one would doubt victory.

"Brothers, break the city of Beijing, I'll treat you to a big meal... We once traveled thousands of miles across half the earth, do we still care about these more than a hundred kilometers now, forcibly rushing over and attacking those turtle bastards off guard..."

"Long live the victory, long live." A jubilation quickly sounded in the team.

At this moment, Wang Huaiyuan, ahead, rode his horse and ran over, "Sir, I haven't received any carrier pigeon for an hour. The atmosphere is wrong. Did something happen?"

"Sir, the information is unknown now. We don't know where Li Hongzhang's Huai Army is. It may be dangerous to go deeper so rashly..."

Before Xiao Letian could speak, a white light suddenly appeared in the clouds in the west, and in a short while, there was still a distant thunder coming.

Xiao Letian pondered for a moment, "It should be caused by the bad weather. This is our mistake. After all, the pigeons are animals, not humans, and they will definitely avoid them when they encounter bad weather."

At this time, a fast horse suddenly came from the West, which was one of the few rangers in the new army, specially used to patrol the battlefield.

"Report to the Prime Minister, there was a sudden heavy rain in Wuqing County ahead, and the horses' hooves were soaked in softness. The ground was covered with mud and could not run at all... Please give me instructions."

"Damn..." Xiao Letian cursed, "Large the guard circle, don't lose unnecessary non-combat troops, follow the army..."

When Wang Huaiyuan heard this, he reached out and grabbed the reins of the war horse, "Sir, you can't do it. We can't die rashly if the information is unknown. War is not a joke..."

"Fuck, I still use you to teach me. Do I don't understand the principle of intelligence first? But the problem we are facing now is not the battlefield, but politics... Do you understand? We are fighting a political battle today."

"The reformists I supported are almost dead. How can I not save me? Except for Ci'an, the demon who traitors in the country, no one can surrender the entire Qing Dynasty. How can I not save me?"

"Get out of the way, even if the army I led has no intelligence, even if there are millions of troops ahead, we can still kill them... This is the spirit of the new army. Without victory feeding, the new army will not grow up..."

"If you are scared, just get out of the back and rest..." Xiao Letian said that and rushed forward. "Brothers... there may be an enemy in front of you. Are you afraid?"
