Ci'an and Cixi had very different personalities, representing the two extremes within the Manchu Qing Dynasty!
Cixi belongs to the typical type of people who don't care about the flood after I die. What she wants is to enjoy all the glory and wealth while she is alive!
In the heart of such an extremely selfish person, everything that her eyes can see is 'mine, mine, mine!' '
If she can deal with you openly, she will directly use troops. If she is obviously not an opponent, she will attack you secretly. All she wants is to maintain the dignity of the Qing Dynasty's unification. At least she cannot lose her dignity before her death!
And what she wants is for power to be concentrated in her body. Even if her son seizes power from her, she will hold a grudge. Otherwise, why would she be so cruel to the queen?
But Ci'an is not such a person. She has a stable character, knows how to share interests, knows how to compromise and advance and retreat. She can look at problems from a rational perspective!
Now that the Qing Dynasty has reached this state, Ci'an has long been disappointed. Ever since she hooked up with Fu Qing, Aiwujiwu has gradually tried to learn some Western knowledge.
I have also dabbled in European history, and am especially wary of the development of the Chinese!
When Xiao Letian defeated Tsarist Russia and won the war in the Far East, she knew that the Chinese were no longer able to be dealt with by the Manchu and Qing Dynasties. You can only admit that the Chinese and the Manchus were equal.
But later on, he didn't expect that the Franco-Prussian War would kill France on the mainland again. Now Ci'an completely understood that the Chinese were no longer something the Manchus could deal with!
Xiao Letian has already formed a huge strategic advantage over this country. Whether he will advance aggressively or slowly in the later period depends on his preference!
Later, when Zai Chun took charge, Xiao Letian came to congratulate him personally. In addition, Xiao Letian supported the war in the Western Regions and had many industrial plans!
Ci'an judged that Xiao Letian was slowing down his advance. He wanted to cut the Qing Dynasty slowly. This strategy was very clear!
Xiao Letian Ci'an has her own way of dealing with it. Under her calm and clear analysis, the Chinese are invincible, and the Manchus' luck in entering the country for more than 200 years has come to an end!
What should we do at this time? It's very simple, think about your retreat quickly and figure out where the Manchu Qing's retreat is!
The inherent territory of the Han people has always been south of the Great Wall. This has been proven by thousands of years of history. As long as the Manchus and Qing Dynasties grasp this point, they can litigate against the Chinese internationally!
The Central Plains can withdraw, but all the land north of the Great Wall belongs to the Qing Dynasty. This point cannot be questioned!
If Xiao Letian dares to seize the territory north of the Great Wall, the Manchu Qing can ask all nations to intervene!
Take the maps of the Han people from past dynasties and compare them. Do you, the Han people, spend more time on the north side of the Great Wall or on the south side of the Great Wall?
Calculate it year by year, regardless of the Han Dynasty, Tang Dynasty, and Ming Dynasty. In the limited few years, the military rule of the Han people has reached the outside world, but can it be maintained?
No, it took years and decades to get it done, but in the end it is still our land. This is how we will litigate in the future!
And for Qinghai-Tibet and the Western Regions, you can also file lawsuits like this to fight for legal priority and force the Chinese to accept the territory of the Northern Song Dynasty!
Ci'an had such a plan, so she would not offend Xiao Letian, but would support Emperor Tongzhi to temporarily cooperate with Xiao Letian!
Industrialization is very important. In the future, the Manchu Qing Dynasty will be established again north of the Great Wall. This new country will also need industrial power!
Let Zaichun work hard to make money, work hard to accumulate industrial strength, and technical talents... When the two sides meet at war, money, industrial equipment, and talents and technicians can all be withdrawn. This will be the strength of the country in the future!
Ci'an had such a plan, so she would not interfere with Zai Chun's reform plan. Even if she saw Zai Chun massacre the Manchus, she would not say a word!
Just because she doesn't speak doesn't mean she doesn't take action. Ci'an has been secretly running the North, especially the Chengde Summer Resort, over the years. She began to plant accomplices and even sent her daughter there.
In the future, Chengde will be an important border town, Shenyang will be the capital, and Chengde will be the accompanying capital, directly competing with the Chinese forces along the Great Wall!
But today, Cixi's madness made Ci'an see the danger: "Third Master, you have to remember, if Xiao Letian is really crazy and starts an all-out war with the Qing Dynasty, then I'm afraid we won't even be able to protect the territory north of the Great Wall!"
"If that time comes, we can only use the last resort!"
Mr. Qing was stunned and his face turned pale with fright. "You...you want to sell your country to foreigners?"
"Haha... Do you still need me to sell it? As long as Xiao Letian goes to war, Zai Chun and Ci Xi will be the first to betray the country! How simple, Guangdong is ceded to the British, Guangxi is ceded to the French, the Western Region is ceded to Tsarist Russia, Jiangsu and Zhejiang are divided into half To America!”
"Don't think that Xiao Letian and Germany are allies! As long as I am willing to cede the entire province of Shandong to the Kaiser, those big German noses will immediately fall out with Xiao Letian!"
"How many other powers are there? If I divide the Qing Dynasty in half, it will be enough to bribe them to send troops, right? The Ai family doesn't believe that Xiao Letian can still fight against the whole of Europe?"
Ci'an lamented, "I don't want this either! Cixi did evil, evil! If according to my plan, the Chinese people will guard the territory of the Song Dynasty, and I, the Manchu Qing Dynasty, will continue to be the Liao, Jin, and Mongolia!"
"There is no way this situation can last for another two hundred years...our descendants will not have to worry about food and clothing for at least six or seven generations!"
"But she just refuses to calm down and insists on breaking up? This Cixi is harming the country! She is indeed a descendant of the Yehenara family and is here to harm the Aisin Gioro family!"
"Third Master! Pay close attention to Xiao Letian's movements these days. If he only announces that his son has no other movements, then our balance can be maintained!"
"If he really makes the poisoning case public, it means there will be a war! Then send our family assets to Chengde as soon as possible!"
"My daughter is safe there. There are 60,000 troops stationed in Chengde, and I can mobilize 40,000 to 50,000 Mongolian cavalry who are loyal to me!"
"I control an army of 100,000 in my hands! My dear third master... you think I can't let you be crowned king?"
"Hmph...the man I Ci'an loves, how can these people humiliate him!"
When Mr. Qing heard this, the muscles in his face jumped three times, "I won't offend anyone unless they offend me. Now they've been beaten and killed, and I won't coddle them anymore!"
"Xiao Letian has ambitions for the Qing Dynasty, but he still has a conscience towards women. I can rest assured that my sister will not be wronged by the Chinese!"
"Tomorrow I will start destroying the market. Don't think that I am easy to bully. I will make your entire capital and Eight Banners poor!"
Ci'an nodded, "Okay, you can deposit the money you earn in a foreign bank and send the other half to Chengde to run our own territory!"
"If this country cannot be saved, we both have to save our little family!"
