C79 There Was a Flurry of Discussion

The Northern Capital City's midsummer was a form of torture for Manchu. These nomadic Ethnic Group, who lived in the dark waters of the Bai Shan, had no way to resist the heat at all. Although they had already been inside for more than two hundred years, the summer was still unbearable for them.

The sun above his head was emitting endless heat, and the leaves of the willow trees by the side of the road had already withered. Even the ones hiding in the leaves were groaning weakly, and the old man dozing in the shade was standing with his arms open, beads of sweat rolling down his face.

"cold tea... cold tea s, big bowls of cold tea s … "New mint tea …"

"Watermelon... "Watermelon, a watermelon made from the soil of Da Xing Kingdom. An old man shouldn't be afraid to eat a mouthful of the watermelon if he doesn't have any teeth …"

"We're selling fan s. Consort's folding fan, large fan … "Shake for a bit … A cool breeze will naturally come …"

In the alleys of Beijing, even the shouts were withered by the scorching sun. In the end, it was so hot that even the fiercest of dogs couldn't be bothered to bark at these peddlers.

Just as the entire Capital City was engulfed in the heat wave and everyone was enduring through the hot summer, a shocking rumor suddenly spread like wildfire in a boiling pot of oil, and scorching flames instantly filled the entire Capital City.

Just as the afternoon heated up, all the teahouses and Restaurant s in Capital City were suddenly filled to the brim. Everyone discussed with their heads down, and a strange piece of news shocked the entire Capital, people.

"Old man, you've come. Sit …" Did you hear? There's a riot in Tanggu Port, and I heard that thousands of people died … "

"Is this for real?" The Tanggu was a place where many foreigners lived in, and there were so many dead that they couldn't even negotiate? "Tell me quickly …

"Aiyo, you two are here chatting? Let me tell you this, the Tanggu City is so vast, more than ten thousand people have died, and their blood has even dyed the sea red … "

"Screech!" Where did you get the news from? "So old …"

"Hey …" "You guys don't have to believe me, my family's uncle is Fishermen of Tanggu. I heard that the people of TIANJIN Wei are no longer eating fish from the sea …"

People immediately rushed up when they heard that. "Master Liu, tell us more about it. How come you don't eat fish?" Master Liu wiped the beads of sweat on his forehead, enjoying the feeling of the crowd supporting him.

"F * ck, aren't there too many dead people? More than ten thousand corpses! They didn't even have time to bury them before they were thrown into the sea!" "Those fish are full of human flesh, do you think they can still be eaten …" Before he could finish his sentence, the room was filled with the sound of retching. It took a long time for him to calm down.

At this time, Scophthalmus, who was carrying a copper pot and water, also listened in shock, and asked in a daze, "What is this!?" How did you get rid of him just like that? "

"Stupid Kid, you don't understand this, do you know about the People's Transformation? Even Old people had gone mad. He rushed onto the streets to kill whoever he saw. The money in the shop was taken away as he wished, and the women came on top as well. Killing people and arson were not to be avoided … Why do you ask? "Other than Xiao Letian, who else can two evil spirits do this …"

"Do you know what Prime Minister once sent out in the beginning of spring … What expedition? They specifically went to inspect the people from Industrial Zones. We have already experienced a civil revolution in the Tanggu, but it was just a drizzle, there were only a few hundred people there … "

"It's not the same today. Tens of thousands of people are causing trouble in Tanggu City, the entire city's foreigners are all escaping to the surface of the sea, the cannons and Speargun s on the sea ship have all erected, it's so close that they can fire at mob …"

In the mouth of these rumours walkers, Xiao Letian had become a merciless criminal. underhand gathered hundreds of bandit, facing people's good protest, and unexpectedly, he suppressed them with bloodshed. Even Nine Commanders Ceng Guoju was involved. The Xiang Jun sent out his heavy cavalry to kill Zhou Tie, causing heads to roll.

In the teahouse, the narrator's saliva was flying everywhere. The listeners were all dumbstruck. The shopkeeper in front of the counter didn't even know that he had miscalculated a few accounts.

Just as the big guy was cursing two evil spirits, two young book reader suddenly walked in from outside the teahouse.

"What a bunch of idiots. If Xiao Letian was so powerful, wouldn't Tian Jin chief officer go and suppress him? Do you know how big a movie it is for tens of thousands of people to line up together? Do you know how many people there are in the entire Tanggu? " After saying that, the two of them humphed in disdain.

"Aiya! Who's the one who didn't tie his belt tight enough to show you... "Aiyo, isn't this the two lords of yamen Prime Minister? Look at my forgetfulness, what's your name?" The rumour monger turned his head and wanted to curse, but he did not expect to see two familiar faces, two from the Prime Minister yamen's Stapling.

"Scophthalmus, give me a pot of green tea …" The two Sun Steel-yamen's Stapling also did not get angry, and they clasped their hands towards Master Flag Man and the others from the teahouse.

"Gentlemen, don't listen to those dark rumors. We are all people of Flag Man. If you want to listen, you must listen to what Emperor, Empress Mother. Listen to what we, the Eight Flag's people, are saying. These rumors are obviously just a few people secretly trying to trick us …" The entire Tanggu only had ten thousand people, why did they all die? Throw it into the sea? Our Daqing doesn't even have any graves? "

"To tell you the truth, guess what yamen Prime Minister received last night? "Damn, it was actually those officials who did it. It was a local gentry, High Scholar, surnamed Huang. He used the rent to lure people into the streets to cause trouble, in order to make the Daqing fall prey …"

Stapling said everything that happened in a few sentences, and everyone suddenly realized something, "What happened to the previous rumor? What's so strange about it?" "So this group of people were created by book reader. They are truly a bunch of wickedness …"

"That's right, that's right. My banner owner had said so earlier, this group of Qing Liu were afraid that this Industrial Zones would succeed. On the surface, they are afraid of the allure of the foreigners, but they are afraid that we, Flag Man, would have an ironclad crop …"

At this time, the whole teahouse broke out into a flurry of discussions. Everyone started to curse these "clean" people. Immediately after, the two Stapling started to shift their animosity away again, "Actually, it's all nine commander's fault. Their Xiang Jun is too excessive and actually interfered with the mission, and they actually dared to go against us, the Green Camp, even if he has reason, he can't just kill people …"

When people heard that there were hidden secrets behind all of this, they exploded. crowd became even tighter around him. It was a hot day and he was not afraid of heat. In the teahouses, brothels, and Restaurant's most basic social venues in Daqing, all sorts of rumors began to collide with each other, and a fierce conflict occurred.

book reader, who took Qing Liu as his own responsibility, played around and poured dirty water on Xiao Letian and Zhou Tie. Their goal was not only to clear themselves out, but also to naturally oppose the Royal Family and the other Xiang Jun powers.

And since Xiang Jun, as the representative of daoyin, doesn't want to be in the same boat as us, then you are not a good person either.

They were very clear about what benefits Industrial Zones had. They could also guess that in this round of the Public opinion war, protecting Xiao Letian from the consequences was their ultimate strategy, but at the same time, disguising the Xiang Jun was also their ultimate strategy.

Amongst the three forces, which were currently represented by the Xiang Jun s, the southern Wu Steel Element was still relatively calm as it was not involved in this civilian scolding battle. However, their counterattack was even more direct. Three days later, Ceng Guofan went on the clasp, and as it was originally autumn, he returned to the capital to report his mission.

Threats, this was a naked threat. This was how the Zeng Family used to express his protest. There was actually long hair in the Wuyishan? More than 20,000 people? God knows if he went to drink Da Hong Pao.

During the summer, because of a change in the Tanggu, the three forces had become so chaotic that they could stab knife in the back. Now, all that was left was the court to tear each other's faces.

The clasp that was sent over by the Tanggu had already been quietly piled up in the Forbidden City for seven days. empress dowagers merely looked at the clasp and its summary, as for that foot high testimony, he had no interest in paying attention to it. To statesman, evidence was just a sham. Sometimes he could take it, sometimes he had to throw it away.

The two palaces' Emperor Empress Mother was silent. Wu Junyi was also silent. As for the rest of Manchu and Zhou Tie, they were also silent when they saw that something was amiss. Little Emperor Tongzhi was the only one in the entire Forbidden City who kept this matter to himself. He would ask Empress Mother, ask Zhou Tie, and then annoy the officials. However, it was strange that no one on either side could say anything as they all caused Emperor to be infuriated.

"Queen Mother, what should we do? This was a civil calamity! Isn't such a big thing strictly handled? " Emperor Tongzhi sat angrily beside Ci Xi with a flushed face.

"Big matter? "What a big thing this is!" Ci Xi looked at his son with a smile. Tongzhi lost his composure after hearing that. "How big is it?" "The people have changed. For thousands of soldiers and civilians to die in such a huge matter, isn't that a big deal?

Ci Xi shook his head, "Not big, not big at all." Emperor, you are the ruler of this world, so you have to do it before Mount Tai falls. A small incident with the Tanggu could be considered a calamity in Masses's eyes, but this is nothing in front of you … "

"Let's not talk about distant lands, let's just take the south and cause chaos for long hair. The number of dead people is more than just trillions, this is a big deal." And westernization from the sea, this was also considered a big matter. On the other hand, Raksha Country, which is watching us from the north, is even more important. Only a small change like Tanggu is not big at all. On the contrary, it is very small, and this little clasp can only stay in there and not send any messages … "

Emperor Tongzhi seemed to be enlightened. In his mother's teachings, he gradually came to understand that a Empire was not something Kaiser could do just because he wanted to.

"This Daqing, our Royal Family and the Eight Banners will always be one. With the Eight Banners, there will be our Royal Family, and without the Eight Banners, our Royal Family will become orphans and widows. This is Old Ancestor's iron law of life, you can't lose it."

As for the Han Chinese Gui Chen, you must remember to give those sweet dates to those Chunliang men, they want to rule over the imperial examinations for ever. As long as you can guarantee that this will last for 10,000 years, these Slave will not go back. When we, Manchu, entered the city in the past, they killed so many Han men, but in the end, they still kneeled down and shouted "Long live" to us? "

Ci Xi gently touched his son's head and told him in a rare kind tone that he didn't want to pass on the secret of governing a country. This kind of secret that was passed down through mouth to mouth wasn't something that anyone could learn.

"Huang'er, you must always remember, the internal affairs of this Daqing is one of three powers, three groups of people are entangled with each other, one is our Royal Family, the other is the Scholar Qing Liu, and the last is the Chinese daoyin, especially Ceng Guofan's group, as long as you can balance these three powers well, this Country will not be a mess …"

"What about the foreigners? And what about two evil spirits and Xiao Letian? What kind of power are they? How should we deal with them? " Tongzhi finally got Frontalis stumped for words. After staring blankly for a long time, he still couldn't say anything.

"A drastic change that has never occurred in three thousand years. Perhaps only a rare genius that has never been seen in three thousand years can give an answer …"
