There is no harm without comparison. In fact, what Ma Sanye realized was such a simple truth. Although the Manchu Qing Dynasty was not invaded by Chinese military.
However, the Manchus were ruthlessly crushed by the Chinese in many aspects, and their self-confidence was gradually collapsing!
In fact, the relationship between Xiao Letian and the Manchu Qing Dynasty has been changing. At first, Xiao Letian just wanted to secretly build up his reputation within the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and then set up an industrial zone to wait for the opportunity.
He did not want to become independent immediately, but he did not expect that Ryukyu would give him a huge historical opportunity, and he was good at seizing the opportunity.
In this way, Xiao Letian slowly turned into a gangster followed by a group of bandits. Later, the gangster absorbed Fan Lian and other business groups and turned into a black and white cross-border Lotte company.
Not long after he worked at Lotte Foreign Company, he was promoted to Prime Minister Xiao of the East China Sea, and then the Chinese appeared to establish a code of law and establish an independent country!
Xiao Letian's identity and status were constantly changing, and the Manchu Qing Dynasty also showed different responses to the increasingly changing Xiao Letian.
The officials who first came into contact with Xiao Letian were just low-level corrupt officials like Mr. Lian. They also wanted to bully this overseas weirdo with the 'old rules' that were like rubbish.
But I didn’t expect that the overseas weirdo would turn into a world-famous great master of Western learning in the blink of an eye!
After becoming a master, the imperial court began to recruit people. Taking advantage of this opportunity, the industrial zone plan that changed the pattern of the late Qing Dynasty emerged.
But I never expected that this Xiao Letian was really capable of causing trouble. He built a special zone and did not allow officials to be greedy for money, and the court was not allowed to add sand into it. This made the civil and military officials of the court lively.
After a very short honeymoon period, there were armed conflicts again and again, from inciting the people to riot to direct suppression by the government, and even assassination plots, and finally the army directly entered the scene.
The court was beaten back and forth but lost in succession!
No one expected Xiao Letian to be so good at fighting. Wen Neng wrote "The Journey to the West" and became the great master of Western learning. Wu Neng pioneered new military training methods to build the strongest army in East Asia.
In addition to giving birth to children, what else can this person not do?
The beating made the court lose all temper. In the end, Xiao Letian would still curse, and the overwhelming leaflets and public notices frightened the Confucian scholars and Eight Banners who were trying to control public opinion.
As a last resort, these people can only hold their noses and admit that Xiao Letian's power has become independent!
Thinking of this scene, Master Ma couldn't help but let out a long sigh. At this moment, a voice came from behind him, "Is Master Ma here watching the scenery again and having an epiphany?"
The cold voice frightened Ma Ming. His hands shook and he quickly threw the jade token in his arms into a secret pocket!
"Who...ah...you scared me!" When he turned around, he saw that it was not an outsider. It was the emperor's personal army who was trained a batch later than him, the dandy Na Sanbao of Sijiu City.
"You little kid, do you step on shit when you walk? You don't make any sound at all?"
"Hey... look, aren't you being unreasonable? You are so absorbed in your own thoughts, why are you blaming me?"
Those three treasures were the three hundred emperor's personal troops appointed again by Emperor Tongzhi after he arrived in Ryukyu. At that time, there was a big mess in the selection of these three hundred personal troops.
When the big families in the capital saw that this was a good job for promotion, they all secretly replaced the emperor's list. It was clear that what Zai Chun wanted was the unpopular family concubine, the second eldest son, the third eldest son, etc.
As a result, these Eight Banners families were careful and gave away their eldest sons. The purpose was to gild the emperor's side so that he could be promoted in the future.
At that time, it was Manshun, one of the four eunuchs, who returned to the capital to convey the order, and he was protected by the leader of the new army, Jiang Lie!
This disgusting scene of stealing and replacing others angered the New Army. Jiang Lie directly led the entire city to rob people. In the end, he surrounded the Prime Minister's Yamen and finally rescued the three hundred guards.
Facts have proved that Zai Chun wanted these unpopular concubines, the second and third sons without inheritance rights, to have a very strong and urgent desire to change their destiny.
In order to stand out in front of the emperor, they quickly abandoned the bad habits within the Eight Banners and eagerly learned and practiced the knowledge of the new army in the Ryukyu military camp.
After forming the army, Ma Ming, Na Sanbao and others were quickly dispatched to Fujian by Emperor Tongzhi after a short internship in the army. Under Zuo Zongtang's influence, they began to recruit mountain people to train the new army.
This is the emperor's new imperial army, which is completely different from Prince Gong's new Eight Banners army. One in the south and one in the north have become two new elites competing privately!
The Sanbao sat next to Ma Ming, leaning against the big rock without looking at him, looking at the white clouds floating in the sky: "You'd better find a place to hide your jade plaque!"
"Other people don't know what the blade means, but if someone is really interested, you can still find it out!"
"Check me? Let's see who dares!"
"Come on, no one cares about you here in Fuzhou... But don't forget that His Majesty has returned to China. We are determined to meet up and go north back to the capital!"
"It will be very serious if people find out then..."
Ma Ming's face darkened, "Who can find out? Who dares to search my body?"
"Look... aren't you being arrogant? Those girls you have sex with don't get under your bed? When you go on duty in the Forbidden City, don't you let people search you?"
"Don't talk about the rules. After returning to the capital, those princes, ministers and flag owners will let their servants search you if they don't like you on the street. Do you dare to make trouble?"
"If I ask you to kneel, you won't dare to stand..."
"I...fuck..." Ma Ming punched the tree trunk next to him, and the leaves fell down like rain.
"Those dirty turtle bastards will know how to use these destructive tricks... If they couldn't defeat the head of state back then, they would have to use the hands of foreign devils to destroy the Chinese people!"
"What happened in the end? It's not just the repeated failures... I finally know where this frustration comes from!"
"Compared with other Chinese people's territory, aren't we Manchus just a ball of despair?"
"My ancestor, please keep your voice down..." The Sanbao's face turned pale with fright, and he reached out to cover Ma Ming's mouth!
"What's going on, you just need to know it in your heart, but you have to bring trouble to yourself? You're not afraid, and your family isn't afraid..."
Ma Ming also took the risk. He stood up and pointed to the Mawei Shipyard in the distance and the small armored ship on the Min River. "Afraid? Is now the time to say you are afraid? I am really anxious..."
"Just such a Mawei shipyard, which is less than one-tenth the size of the southern Ryukyu shipyard, can build small boats that can run wildly in the Min River..."
"Why are you bragging about this? Is the imperial court still beautiful? Open your eyes and look at the world, right? Look inside the Northern Industrial Zone. Even the railways have begun to be laid..."
"The Zhiyuan has reduced the French fleet to rubbish... We are still happy, and we are still happy with this small ship!"
"Then what do you think we should do?" Sanbao was also anxious, "This little bit of property was obtained by Zuo Zongtang from the expense of the Western Army!"
"Hanchen built this thing for us! In the Qing Dynasty, except Mr. Qing who laid a few telegraph lines in the past few years, who else is doing real Westernization?"
"No one can tell you these days! We can only hope that Long Live Lord will come back... take good care of this useful body of yours, and sell your life to Long Live Lord in the future!"
"If even the long-lived master who has studied abroad can't change the nature of the imperial court..." Sanbao didn't dare to say any more and just let out a long sigh.
The two of them looked towards the South China Sea together, praying for the return of their holy king!
