The person who knew Xiao Letian best in the Manchu court, if Yang Zhi said he was second, no one would dare to say he was first. The reason is simple because he is a traitor.
Traitors are the most insecure group. They must always be on guard against being chased by the original forces, and must always be careful to allow the current forces to accept them. To survive in the cracks, he must make a correct judgment on the situation and make every step. Be cautious and tread on thin ice.
After staying with Xiao Letian for a long time, Yang Zhi has an almost intuitive judgment on some of the Prime Minister's actions. Whenever the situation shows that Xiao Letian has fallen into a trough and the situation is not good, Yang Zhi is the first to The reaction was that Xiao Letian was trying to trick someone again.
This has formed a conditioned reflex, because he has seen too many great comebacks by Prime Minister Xiao!
The same was true for the previous Jiangnan Money Ticket Crisis. Amid the denigration, Yang Zhi keenly discovered various doubts and finally made a shocking bet, which directly made Prince Dun Yiyi a huge fortune of 12 million yuan.
Now Yang Zhi's gambling has not stopped. When the money is in hand, he does not propose to spend it immediately, but hopes that Yi Pei will start recruiting troops secretly, in anticipation of a big comeback in the future.
Yang Zhi's analysis of the current situation is still very subtle, especially the important role of the stock market in Xiao Letian's grand strategy.
As Yang Zhi peeled off the cocoon, the mysterious man Xiao Letian gradually became clear, until finally Prince Yi Pei of Dun was actually sitting upright, with his hands on his knees like a primary school student, with an extremely solemn expression.
"It is no accident or luck that Xiao Letian is where he is today. This man has several unique qualities that are very commendable, even if he is our enemy."
"First of all, this man does not seek fame. He is simply a weirdo in the Qing Dynasty. If a person does not seek fame, he will not be bound by fame. I am sure that Xiao Letian has no plan to become an emperor at all! "
"No?" Everyone present was dumbfounded and couldn't believe it. Yan Zhihu picked up a plum blossom in his hand and dropped it to the ground before putting it in his mouth. "Sir, who are you lying to? He, Xiao Letian, spent so much effort to do it." He doesn’t want to rebel after so many ups and downs? Does he really want to be a loyal minister by His Majesty’s side?”
"No, no!" Yang Zhi smiled and shook his head. "He doesn't want to be a loyal minister of the Qing Dynasty. On the contrary, he wants to overthrow the Qing Dynasty, but he himself doesn't want to be the emperor of the new dynasty! Isn't this difficult to understand? ?it's actually really easy"
"This is an extremely pragmatic man. He has always only wanted to show off his face but not face. What he pursues is real power. He is a man with real power who can decide the emperor's life or death with one word. I say he is second to Cao Cao. This is not true at all. Fake, he is even worse than Cao Cao!"
"At least when he was young, Cao Cao had the idea of being loyal to his emperor and repaying the Han, but this Xiao Letian has been pursuing power and controlling everything in the world from the beginning!"
"My Fifth Master, you must remember that you must not have any hope for Xiao Letian. He is a man with a heart as solid as stone. High officials, generous salaries, beautiful women and money are of no use to him. Don't Thinking those things can buy him off! Give up your fantasy!"
Yang Zhi drank a glass of wine and continued, "I just said that Xiao Letian's first characteristic is to be pragmatic rather than vain, and to pursue profits rather than fame. So Qingliu is completely at his wits' end to deal with Xiao Letian. You scold him? He ignores it. You hit him? You still I can't beat you. Do you want to kidnap me morally? People think you are a piece of shit."
"More importantly, being the emperor is not one of Xiao Letian's life plans, so he doesn't need those Confucian scholars to praise him and build momentum for him, so mutual use is out of the question. Haha, the court's method of dealing with the Hunan Army is Xiao Letian's It’s completely ineffective!”
"Second, Xiao Letian is not greedy! This is very important. You can see it by looking at the stock market in Jiangnan. To put it bluntly, Xiao Letian's strategy in Jiangnan is much smarter than that of our Qing Dynasty. When the Qing Dynasty entered the country, The only way to get money is to kill and rob!"
"After the country is stabilized, the imperial court can only rely on money, food and taxes to extract the wealth of Jiangnan. This primitive and backward method has put the two sides on opposite sides from the beginning!"
"The imperial court is one side of the table, and the Jiangnan Consortium is the other side of the table. Both sides look at me and I look at you, both of them are cautiously vigilant. Power and money have always reached a balance in conflict!"
"Xiao Letian's strategy is much more clever. He directly uses the method of military investment to tie himself up with the Jiangnan plutocrats. Everyone makes money together, expands the territory together, and the dividends of war and business are shared by everyone. point!"
"No one will fight for more, and no one will complain about less. It all depends on how many shares everyone has. If you have 20%, then you will get 20% of your bonus. How simple and how fair! Who are businessmen and ordinary people? Who can find fault with this model?”
"The uncrowned king! Xiao Letian is no longer the king of the Chinese clan. He has taken over the position of Marshal Zeng and officially became the King of Jiangnan!"
Having said this, Yi Pei and the others were completely unable to refute. They swallowed dryly while their chests pounded wildly.
"Third, Xiao Letian is still a diplomatic genius." Yang Zhi shook his head and sighed, "He is not a solitary person, and he is not a person who only knows how to advance but not retreat. He is good at spending money and sharing equally with other forces. profit!"
"Judging from the fact that the Hunan Army has invested in the Chinese War, this shows that many senior leaders of the Hunan Army are already interested in Xiao Letian's new cooperation model. They have used their own money to invest in it, and they can use it in the future. Who would refuse to make a lot of money without corruption?"
"If I'm not wrong, our Majesty will definitely get huge profits from this Jiangnan drama. I think he will eat more than you, Fifth Master, that's for sure! Because in the future, His Majesty will definitely be stepping on The blood and fire are going up, don’t expect those people to peacefully hand over power!”
"The Hunan Army can benefit, Your Majesty can benefit, but will the foreign forces entrenched in the south of the Yangtze River benefit? I guess it will, let me think about it."
Yang Zhi's eyes began to blur. He tapped his fingers on the table and said, "Tsarist Russia is at war with the Chinese. There is no room for relaxation between them. The French have a personal grudge against Xiao Letian. Even if Xiao Letian gives up part of the profits, France will also I won’t remember his good deeds!”
"Americans? Haha, those people are focusing all their energy on making money now. They have no interest in caring about other countries' affairs. Besides, Xiao Letian has always had a good relationship with the Americans. Xiao Letian must not have American arms in this war. Buy less, they already have a friendly relationship, Xiao Letian will never spend money randomly again!"
There was a muffled sound, and Yang Zhi slapped the table, "Britain! It must be Britain! Xiao Letian has already slapped the British banker in Jiangnan hard, and now it's time to give Tianzao a big mouth!"
"Has the British Minister already left the capital? Damn it, he will definitely meet Xiao Letian on his way back! He will definitely!"
