The first thing they did when they opened their mouths was a big bump in the road. King Shang Tai and the others didn't know how to open their mouths. This routine was really wrong.
Are there any officials in the Manchu Qing Dynasty who don’t love money? I rushed to give you money and actually said that the money has a hook and you don't want it anyway?
"Commander, please think clearly, we are sponsoring the military, not just giving you a bribe! This money will not tarnish your reputation at all!"
"To collect money to fight the national war and fight those rebels and old Maozi, no one in the world dares to talk about it!"
"As for whether the imperial court will doubt your loyalty, there is no need to worry... As far as I know, you have entrusted Hu Xueyan to borrow money from a foreign bank in the Shanghai Concession. You want all the money from foreigners. We have the same culture and race. Do you still want the money from your relatives?”
"Does it mean that the foreign devil's money doesn't have a hook?"
Haha, Zuo Zongtang sneered and said to King Shang Tai, "Of course it's different. The foreign devils want money, but Xiao Letian probably wants the power of the Qing Dynasty!"
"I, Zuo Zongtang, can afford high interest rates, but I cannot give Jiangshan land!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the entire Chinese caravan glared angrily, and several soldiers from the Ba Dao Team sneered and mocked in Chinese.
"This is China? The Han people are actually willing to be slaves to the Manchu and Qing Tatars, and they are actually defending the country for the Manchu and Qing Dynasties..."
"Who!" Zuo Zongtang became furious all of a sudden, "Stand up for me, Commander! Where does this bastard dare to talk nonsense in front of me!"
With a loud shout, the guards outside the door rushed in, filling the small living room with water!
The guards of the caravan were all veterans of many battles. Predator warriors who had fought hand-to-hand with the French and Rakshasa ghosts. They didn't care at all about such a scene. They stood up immediately, unsheathed their swords and guns and pulled the triggers of their pistols.
Shopkeeper Fan Jin and the left court minister, including Liu Jintang, all stood up and started to break up the fight between the two sides. It would be terrible if there was a fight.
On one side is the Generalissimo Zhengxi of the Qing Dynasty, one of the legitimate heirs of the Hunan Army, and on the other side is the leader of the Ryukyu Kingdom and the Chinese army. If these things get together, God knows how much trouble there will be.
"Everyone is restrained, everyone is restrained... If you have anything to say, please say it. Marshal, calm down, calm down..."
"Don't hurt your majesty, protect your majesty..."
In the chaotic scene, King Shangtai actually smiled and said, "Haha... He is indeed a minister educated by benevolence, justice, etiquette, wisdom and trust! I guess I read that right..."
"There is no need to put up such a formation. In Shuri Castle, I faced repeated bombardments from the French and I did not retreat even a step. There is no need to demonstrate to me!"
"I understand what the commander is thinking. Please sit down and have a drink... All the guards of our caravan should go out and go to the side room to drink. Stop crowding here. I think this is disturbing..."
The leader of Ryukyu Kingdom personally stepped down. Zuo Zongtang couldn't take action no matter how bad-tempered he was. He glared at Liu Jintang, "I think it's stuffy here, so let them all go out... This room smells of human flesh, it's really troublesome!"
Everyone had left, and only King Shang Tai and Zuo Zongtang were left in the living room. The two were relatively speechless for a quarter of an hour.
There was a popping sound, and the candle flame exploded into a lantern. King Shang Tai finally spoke, "Commander Zuo... In fact, before Shang's father became powerful, Marshal Zeng had a secret meeting with Xiao Letian in Tanggu. What do you think about this?" do you know?"
Zuo Zongtang was suddenly stunned. He never expected that King Shangtai would talk about something that happened several years ago when he opened his mouth, and this matter had little to do with him.
"Hmm... I've heard a bit about it, but I was in Fujian at that time and didn't have time to think about it... Of course what Marshal Zeng wants to do has his own reasons..."
King Shang Tai smiled, "Many people don't know what Shang Fu and Zeng Guofan said in that secret meeting...but I know some details. Do you want to hear it?"
Zuo Zongtang suddenly became interested and sat upright and looked at King Shang Tai.
"The theory of the hidden dragon... Commander Zeng directly brought up the idea of a hidden dragon in that meeting. This matter is also very secret among the top Chinese people!"
As long as the Chinese people talk about dragons, they are very interested. Zuo Zongtang's hands under the table suddenly clenched.
"Commander Zeng once said that there are not only real dragons in this world, but also hidden dragons... China's thousands of years of civilization have relied on the protection of these sons of the Soaring Dragon!"
“In the long history, all those great figures who have protected our country and profoundly changed the course of history, as long as they protect the destiny of our country...regardless of nationality, bloodline, or camp, they are all sons of the Soaring Dragon! "
"Even Cao Cao, who is despised by thousands of people, the head of state said that no matter whether Cao Cao is loyal to the Han Dynasty or not, at least Cao Cao dares to fight a national war!"
"The nomadic peoples north of the Great Wall who went north to fight against the aliens did not dare to go south during the Wei Dynasty... That's why the Three Kingdoms' own families competed for their property!"
"Even the Western Regions are under the control of the Cao Wei regime and have always been under the control of China... Tell me, aren't such people heroes?"
"In the eyes of Marshal Zeng and the head of state, such a person is also a hidden dragon! Although he did not become a real dragon, his contribution to protecting China is no less than that of the so-called real dragon!"
Zuo Zongtang's face became more and more solemn. What King Shang Tai said today has touched upon the deepest and most secret place in the spiritual world of Chinese literati.
Throw away all the shackles of monarchs and ministers, and the last thing left is actually everyone's protection of this civilization.
"Commander! What I said today is actually to tell you that you are one of the hidden dragons in the world!"
Hiss... Zuo Zongtang took a breath of cold air, his waist softened, and he leaned on the back of the chair, his hand holding the wine glass trembling!
"This... don't say this nonsense. Your Majesty, please don't harm me!"
"Harming you? I'm not that boring, and I have no grudge against you, and I won't let those people in Agub laugh... I said you are a hidden dragon, and you are a hidden dragon!"
"According to the theory of Marshal Zeng and the Führer, you are the Hidden Dragon!"
"Let me ask you another question, Marshal...Why hasn't Zeng Guofan rebelled? Is it because his 500,000 Hunan troops can't defeat the old and weak Manchus?"
"I think your Hunan Army Group must have discussed this issue internally countless times!"
When Zuo Zongtang heard this, he turned pale with fright and stood up. "Your Majesty...what do you mean? Do you want to threaten me with Marshal Zeng's reputation and safety?"
"If this is the case, I would rather try to exterminate the entire clan, and I would have to kill you too!"
"Sit down, sit down! They say you are brave, but I think you are far behind Zeng Guofan... Back then, Marshal Zeng and Xiao Letian both said they were honest and took the initiative to talk about these topics!"
"The pattern! This is the pattern... You are still not as good as Marshal Zeng!"
