The British minister and counselor in Beijing were watching the telegram and speculating about Xiao Letian's plot. In the Shanghai Concession, Heng Liwen hid in a bar during the day and started drinking heavily and cursing Xiao Letian to go to hell.

On the Yuwan Mountain of Amami Oshima, the red-haired Aikeson listened to the sleepless ideological attack on the enemy's position. The strange pronunciation of the Russian words had tormented him to the point of going crazy. Xiao Letian had become a nightmare in his heart.

In Ryukyu Naha City, King Shotai held a city-wide parade and carnival. Hundreds of thousands of citizens took to the streets to celebrate the victory of the war. They also celebrated the simultaneous opening of the Suzhou Stock Market and the Ryukyu Stock Market. The portrait of the Prime Minister was carried in the crowd. From ear to ear, the roar of long live was earth-shattering.



A naval battle, a land battle, a financial battle! Xiao Letian completely transformed into the East Asian craze of 1869, and the whole of Asia was swept by this storm.

The Zhiyuan sailed upstream on the Yangtze River. No ship in the middle of the channel dared to steal the Prime Minister's limelight. Those arrogant Western cargo ships saw the Zhiyuan approaching from a distance and were so frightened that they quickly gave way to the main channel. When the two ships crossed each other, the captain and The sailors all took off their hats and bowed in salute.

What made the people of the Qing Dynasty even more stunned was that the five-clawed golden dragon flag of the Qing Dynasty was also raised, and Emperor Tongzhi, wearing a dragon robe, actually revealed his identity and accepted the worship of all people.

For a time, all the officials and people on both sides of the river flocked to the place. The last Qing emperor who went to the south of the Yangtze River was Emperor Qianlong. The story of the six visits to the south of the Yangtze River has long become a legend and is sung on the stage.

Eighty-five years have passed. Eighty-five years have passed since Emperor Qianlong's sixth trip to the south of the Yangtze River. This sudden appearance of Emperor Tongzhi completely shocked the whole of southern China.

The local officials were like crazy. They opened the treasury and used all the gold and silver, forcing the rich households in the city to get together and lose their silver. The colorful sheds along the river were all temporarily built, with layers of loess.

Wherever the Zhiyuan passed by, local officials, gentry and common people knelt in darkness. Everyone shouted long live the mountain. People begged the emperor to appreciate the dragon's beauty and come and have a look under their rule.

The Chinese people's superstition of imperial power for thousands of years has been integrated into their blood. Almost everyone has a plot of a holy king and a wise king in their hearts. Under this collective excitement, Emperor Tongzhi actually only needs to be a little smarter and do a little bit. By showing off, you can win the hearts of the people very easily.

Of course, Zai Chun knew his master's purpose and made himself public. This was to promote his stock market and use the powerful blessing of imperial power to provide legitimacy to his economic layout.

Xiao Letian is the emperor's master, and this identity is known to the whole world. Now the emperor's master is promoting the stock market in Jiangnan to help Jiangnan get through this money shortage. It is reasonable for the apprentice to take part in such a big event.

Zai Chun didn't complain at all. He hoped that the master could use him like this more often and use him as a shield for the people's grievances. As long as he could see more of his people, he would rather let the master take advantage of him.

Zai Chun stood on the high bridge under the scorching sun, waving to the people on both sides of the river. In fact, the Zhiyuan, sailing in the middle of the Yangtze River, was still far away from both sides of the river, and the people could not see Emperor Tongzhi on the battleship at all.

It is enough for people to see the ship and the huge five-clawed golden dragon flag flying on the mast. As long as they know that the emperor is on it and the Holy Lord in their spiritual belief is on it, that is enough!

"Long live the Emperor!" People on both sides of the Taiwan Strait kowtowed and roared at the top of their lungs. Some old people even fainted from excitement and burst into tears.

Along the way, countless local officials knelt in the loess and shouted long live. They held in their hands the excerpts they had written in praise of the holy king. Regardless of whether Zai Chun could hear it or not, they kept shouting their names and resumes. These petty officials did not expect to have such success. The opportunity to be interviewed by the emperor, but they still wanted to bet their luck.

The petty officials could only eat dirt on the shore, but officials above the level of Futai and Daotai were more courageous. There were even Manchu military attachés stationed in Jiangnan, who were all the emperor's domestic slaves. They are naturally more privileged.

Countless yachts, boats, and even small foreign steam paddle steamers were requisitioned, Shanghai Road?

4000

??Suzhou Prefecture, Taicang Prefecture, Yangzhou Prefecture, Changshu, Zhenjiang... all local officials gathered on both sides of the Zhiyuan in small boats, guarding the battleship forward like stars over the moon.

"Long live your Majesty! Long live your Majesty! Come and have a look at our Changshu! The people of Changshu are so eager to see Tianyan that they can't wait to see it. I beg Your Majesty to move on!"

"Yangzhou Prefecture has cleaned the famous gardens, and the local gentry is begging Your Majesty to come ashore!"

"Please come to Suzhou, Your Majesty... The Suzhou Stock Market has been listed for trading. Come and take a look, Your Majesty!"



There were noisy shouts of greetings and praises to the Holy One everywhere on the river. Zai Chun was already drunk. Although he heard such voices of praise in the Forbidden City often and officials kowtowed to him, they were all stylized. The process seems insincere.

But today is different. These mid-level officials of the Qing Dynasty have not had the chance to talk to the emperor in Beijing. It is such an honor to be able to take over their duties at this moment. Such greetings and praises bring full sincerity.

Coupled with the tsunami of worship from Wanminshan, everything made Zai Chun intoxicated!

"This is my country! These are my people!"

Xiang Ying looked at everything in front of him in the cockpit with indifferent eyes, but he had no feelings of envy, jealousy or hatred. He just felt very pitiful. All the scenery of Zai Chun could not hide his pity.

"Enjoy your study tour career. When you return to the prison in the Forbidden City, it will be difficult for you to have such an opportunity to be close to the people again!"

Xiang Ying inherited the mantle of Xiao Letian. His views on the current political situation came from the prime minister. Many of his unique views were not available to people of that era.

Zaichun is just a thirteen-year-old child. Even if a child of this age is a genius, what achievements do he have that deserve such praise from the people? He didn't even have time to govern, or even personally govern.

But such a young boy who was not in charge at the age of thirteen and was hidden in the palace could cause such a huge wave and release such a huge energy once he appeared among the people of the Qing Dynasty.

In the final analysis, it is not that Zaichun is very capable, but that China's thousands-year-old idea of ​​unified imperial power is very powerful. Thousands of years of brainwashing have given the Chinese people a religious superstition about imperial power. The king's power is granted by heaven, and the emperor is the representative of God on earth.

The emperor's position as king of heaven and earth is higher than that of parents. Modern people think this idea is very decadent, but in that era it was the morality, or it could be said to be the law, that people followed.

Zai Chun only has such a righteous title. As long as he wears such a hat, he has become a god!
