C43 Warm East Pavilion Small Court Meeting

The seal of the xanthophosphorus's flame was crushed. Xiao Letian's arm slightly shook in the darkness and the flame started to spray out a bright flame. Immediately after, three consecutive shots of fire flew into the night sky, bright enough for one to be able to see more than ten miles away.

"It's Mr. Xiao, it's Military Advisor …" crowd was immediately shocked. The flickering torchlight flickered in the darkness as the Fire Dragon started to gather towards Xiao Letian. In a short while, everyone found Xiao Letian, who was covered in straw sticks and heads full of bags.

"Military Advisor, we're guilty …" Seeing that Xiao Letian was safe and sound, the three personal guards led by Xiao Hexin immediately knelt down and crawled on the ground, crying their tears out.

"Enough, stop peeing. Hurry and get tiger chick on the carriage, it's so f * cking cold in mountain! " With the support of his brothers, Xiao Letian quickly climbed out of valleys and returned to the main road.

"Everyone, listen up. Retreat. Let captive go …" Xiao Letian's order confused everyone present. "Military Advisor, are we not going to avenge this?"

Yes, we will not take revenge. The brothers that surrounded Xiang Jia Village have all retreated, we will not settle this grudge. On the contrary, send out spies to observe the movements of the Xiang Jia Village … "I feel like Xiang Shaolong and his family are going to have bad luck soon …"

At this time, the eastern horizon had turned pale. An entire night passed, Xiao Letian got on his horse and shouted towards the light of dawn, "Everyone listen to me, go back to the Yi County with me. Don't come out if you don't have the ability to protect yourself in these years … I've decided that if this Northern Capital City doesn't have someone to invite me, I won't go in again … "Bang!" After which, he urged his horse forward.

Just as Xiao Letian was leading his team out of mountain, the little assembly had already started in the majestic ninth stage of Forbidden City. However, the Little assembly of the Wu Steel Dynasty was not in the throne room, but in the Heartbreak Palace.

The emaciated Emperor Tongzhi sat on the throne, with the pearl curtain behind him. Empress Mother, the emperor of the East and West Palaces, faintly revealed his figure from his seat at the back. Seated in front of Kaiser were the most important ministers of the court at the time, Prince Kung Yee. It was sitting on the first seat of the left hand.

And the one ranked first on the right was actually the official title of Crown Prince's Junior Protector, Governor of two rivers's Ceng Guoquan. Today, the little assembly had gathered all of the hardcore Official, and not a single one of those tall Zhou Tie had called Official.

"Alright, everyone is discussing about this clasp. Why isn't anyone saying anything after watching it for half a day?" The one who spoke first to break the silence was Ci Xi.

The Recital that people were passing back and forth was a Recital. The Recital's Master was just a new Zhang Jing of the yamen Prime Minister, but the person who delivered the clasp to him was impressive, it was Prince Kungyi.

The clasp was written by the Eight Banner Manchu called Fu Qing. The small words on the cover saying "Request for Holy Judgement on the Rules of the" gave a little spirit, causing Emperor Tongzhi and Empress Mother, who was behind the curtain, to feel refreshed.

The contents of the clasp were very shocking, this Manchu called Fu Qing actually wanted to ask for an edict for the circle of Industrial Zones s in Guangzhou, Fuzhou, Shanghai, Ning Bo, and Tanggu. Each Special Administrative Region was divided into five hundred mu to over a thousand mu according to their respective uses. He also paid a high salary to hire a foreign engineer to design and construct the five Industrial Zones s that would become part of the Daqing within three years.

The establishment of the steel, Military Plant, textile and even ocean fires and oil factories in the Special Administrative Region started from the military construction and gradually improved the industrial system of the Daqing. If the initial results are good, you can increase the number of trials, such as Tangshan, Wuhan, Jiaodong... Waiting for the city to gradually open up.

In the end, Fu Qing actually said arrogantly from the clasp, "As long as Industrial Zones can operate at full power for five years, micron guarantee that Daqing can produce a new type of Speargun cannon that is not inferior to the foreigners. Furthermore, it can also produce a new type of Battleship which can travel thousands of miles and load up huge cannons …"

Generally speaking, the clasp had a very big mouth, but it was not just bragging. From the initial preparations to the starting funds, which Country's Technology was used, they all had detailed introductions. They even separately described the problem of safety.

The safety of this place was obviously not the safety of production. No one cared about the lives of the lowly commoners, and what Fu Qing said about the safety of the commoners was that their hearts were set against their backs. He thought that since the Industrial Zones was constructed using a foreign method, they should build city walls and Barracks should be confined inside. Only goods and materials were allowed to circulate, and Wu Steel and Liu Steel were forbidden from contacting the people inside. This way, we can avoid the foreigners from bewitching our Daqing's people.

Fu Qing had copied this plan 100% according to Xiao Letian's instructions. It could be said that it was the most realistic plan in Daqing at that time and had touched upon the smallest interests of everyone.

When Prince Kung handed over the clasp, the entire East Warm Pavilion was quiet. Everyone looked at it and kept quiet until Ci Xi broke the silence.

"I think this method will work!" The first to speak up was Nine Commanders Ceng Guoju, "I think all of you have seen what Daqing is like now. If you don't become angry now, I'm afraid that the foreigners will have to face you in the future." What's the point of drawing out a few hundred mu of land to give a test? I will state my opinion first. Ning Bo and Fuzhou, two Special Administrative Region s, I will give you five years of orders and I will definitely show you what I can for you … "

The first half of Ceng Guoquan's sentence was reasonable, but Manchu who was present did not like the second half. Aiyo, he's about to make a move? Your Xiang Jun has almost shaved off all of Jiangnan's affluence. How much did you snatch from Liang Tian? Now that you're not greedy enough, you start to think about our Manchu's small assets?

Before Manchu could refute him, a voice emotionlessly sounded out, "Reporting to Emperor and Empress Mother, who exactly is Industrial Zones's supervisor for? Logically speaking, this should be the job of the work department, but it should be about communicating with the foreigners, and it should be the job of the yamen Prime Minister … "

"Not only that, arranging for the Army to build walls, that is the job of the Ministry of War. They even tried to educate the people around them to prevent the foreigners from bewitching them. These were the affairs of the Ministry of Rites … After all was said and done, all the yamen s from various departments must cooperate in this matter, how was court prepared to coordinate? Other than that, I wonder if there are any people in charge of the court who would like to take charge of this matter? "

He made his move. Qing Liu was about to make his move. empress dowagers and the other officials were not the only one who woke up from their daze. Even Emperor Tongzhi could smell something different.

Since ancient times, Qing Liu had always been known for having many people and poor organization. Generally, apart from being loud and fierce, no one could really expect them to do anything, but the Leader of Qing Liu was different. These people were basically all famous people in the country, Gui Chen.

If Kaiser were to meet such a minister, honestly speaking, it would be quite a headache for him. Especially the person in front of him. He was Weng Tonghe, who represented himself with integrity. He was Qingliu Leader, the person that all forces should not underestimate.

Weng Tong, Shu Ping, a regular acquaintance of Jiangsu Province, the University Scholar Weng heart's son. Xianfeng, six years old, had a warrior in first place. He had been appointed assistant minister of the Ministry of Revenue, left censor of the capital, president of the Ministry of Justice, president of the Ministry of Revenue, minister of military affairs and prime minister of the various countries, and other important positions. You see, the Weng Tong of history is just that awesome. It was only after the change of the law in the 1800s that he was removed from his post due to the interference of his students.

As for Tongzhi' Weng Tonghe of the past four years, he had already been ordered to walk within the Hall of Hong De and teach Emperor of Tongzhi. This could be said to be the treatment given to the Imperial Advisor. At this time, he was only 35 years old, and he was still in his prime. To be pushed to be Qingliu Leader was already a common thing in the imperial court.

Imperial Advisor opened his mouth, even Kaiser and Empress Mother had to give him some face. Ci Xi and Ci An did not say anything, and little Kaiser Tongzhi did not know what to say, only Yi? "Shu Ping, aren't we discussing now? Nothing is set, nothing is set …"

Weng Tonghe smiled slightly, "micron just asked casually. He just wanted to remind everyone in the court, that after the Holy Dynasty entered, it was always calm and stable, and there were many storms along the way, but the whole Han Dynasty was always able to get through the crisis, what does he rely on?" Relying on Sage's manifesto has stabilized the hearts of a nation. To put it in another way, if his display of knowledge were to decline, who knows how much longer our court can hold on? "

If it was a normal Official who said something so outrageous, he would have already been rebuked. However, once Qingliu Leader said it, all of the people from the Warm Pavilion became silent.

empress dowagers and Manchu understood what was going on. If Daqing really gave up on showbiz and started promoting Western learning, then he would definitely be facing a full-on counter-attack from this group of Confucian Scholars. They represented the strongest power of the Daqing.

At this time, Ceng Guoquan's heart was filled with joy, thinking, you guys go ahead and fight, after all, if we forcefully go through Industrial Zones's plan, we Xiang Jun will at least get two points, and we won't suffer any losses even if we die.

If the court and this group of raiders fall out, hahaha, that would be even better. We have government positions to accommodate these people, with their support, how many more days would your Ai Xinjueluo's family have to suffer?

It was beautiful, Ceng Guoquan was as relaxed as if he drank ice water from a sky-high. However, the opposite was true for Zhou Tie and his men. Yi? Hurry up and explain, Shu Ping, what do you mean by this? When did the court say that they would promote Western learning? "Sage's manifesto will always be the foundation for governing a country. This is an iron law set by Old Ancestor. You don't have to worry about it …"

At this moment, Little Emperor Tongzhi suddenly spoke up. "Master Weng …" If we don't get the Industrial Zones involved, and if we don't create the Speargun s' cannons, then how should we deal with the foreign invaders who come at us again? "

Weng Tonghe laughed out loud, "Haha, Your Majesty is still not knowledgeable enough. Although the foreigners are strong, but facing our Daqing's vast land, they still have the strength to resist. "Everyone, think back to the foreign troops. Back in the days of the channel light, the British cannons attacked Guangzhou and then, along the way, they attacked various cities along the coast. Although it was huge, it did not penetrate deep into the interior at all."

"Isn't it because they don't have the ability to enter the mainland! My Daqing is a million miles long with mountains and rivers, let the foreigners come and fight! They would be dragged to their deaths in less than a few hundred miles. They wouldn't even be able to replenish their ammunition. This is our Daqing's greatest reliance. "

[Oh my god. If Xiao Letian was here, he would have picked a fight with the big boss. Weng Tonghe was so much like President Jiang. He actually knew how to use space to buy time.]

"As for four years ago, it was the English and French and the Russian Barbarian. They took advantage of the chaos in the Daqing to attack us from the back, and caused us to meet with such a calamity. If long hair had not caused any trouble, may I ask if their English and French would dare to venture deeper into the mainland? "

Weng Tonghe's words shocked everyone speechless. Tongzhi, who was nine years old, slightly nodded as if he had understood something. Even Ceng Guoquan couldn't help but count his thumbs up in his heart.

"As expected of Qingliu Leader, this little bit of knowledge is not something that a normal corrupt scholar can have."
