C613 Qing Dynasty

Mu Ge, his real name was Mu Ge Ji, and he was Su Shun's distant wife and brother. He was highly valued by Su Shun, and had changed his name and hid within the Western Tomb Army. In the Yi County, the one who had his identity revealed by the Qing San Ye in the battle against Xiao Letian, he was the one who fled in fright.

Erlei Su, Mongolian, the personal soldier of Prince Yi, was extremely loyal to his master. Ever since Prince Yi had been executed, he had drifted to the left of the capital to seek revenge for the prince.

Cheng Huai, the Han Chinese who held the flag up personally by Prince Zheng, Guan Hua, a dealer in the west of the capital, had become a great landowner because of the reward from his master. After the Sin-uni coup d'état was granted death, this loyal big landlord started to reveal his extraordinary business talent, using the property bestowed by his master to secretly support the activities of the small group.

There were also Shishan, Shishui, and the two brothers. They were all students of Ji Nan's Lu Yuan Academy. They were both capable of learning and martial arts, and their teachers were Kuangyuan.

The boss of these five troubled brothers was Qing San Ye. Their small group of people were heavily beaten up by Manchu dynasty Ting a while ago, and they were the remnants of Gu Ming and eight ministers's power after all.

Su Shun, Prince Yi, and Prince Zheng Duanhua were the three pillars of the Gu Ming and eight ministers that had been wiped out by Ci Xi and the others. Two of the princes committed suicide out of the three, while Su Shun had been the most miserable one as he was directly pushed to the Caishikou to behead others.

The five of them were the lucky ones who managed to survive in Gu Ming and eight ministers. The life experiences of each of them were different, some of them had closed their doors and pondered for a long distance, while some of them had sent messages to each other. In short, the political situation in the late Qing was no longer fated to be with them.

As a matter of fact, a top minister who could stand at the top of a political tower could not possibly be alone. In the decades that they had worked as officials and politicians, it was inevitable that they would know a lot of people and raise a lot of people.

For example, if it wasn't for him secretly saving Su Shun, Zuo Zongtang would have long been framed by the governor of Hu Guang.

And there was also the road of Ceng Guofan's prosperity, which was also inseparable from his strong support. Under Xian Feng's rule, without Su Shun's strength to push the masses and argue, it was simply impossible for the Chinese Officer to grow up.

As for Prince Zheng and Prince Yi, they were two of the two great princes of the royal family. And there was also Kuangyuan, the Sin-uni coup d'état who was hired as the mountain master of Ji Nan Luyuan Academy. She had lectured for 17 years, and had over 3000 disciples.

As for the other ministers Gu Ming, they were also famous and powerful faction in the imperial court at that time. Xian Feng did not have much glory in ruling over his entire life, but the Gu Ming and eight ministers he chose for his son was truly an elite team.

But unfortunately, before Xian Feng's body turned cold, the Gu Ming and eight ministers was already crushed into pieces by the empress dowagers and his two blood brothers.

The leader was dead, but the flock of sheep was still around. Those servants who received the kindness from the master, would eventually produce a few death soldiers who were willing to avenge their master. Under the help of well-intentioned people, the powers left behind by the Gu Ming and eight ministers started to come into contact with each other secretly and went into hibernation.

In the end, they coincidentally met the Qing San Ye by chance. Under San Ye's new foreign affairs, these Death Soldiers that were condensed by hatred actually became a strange and innovative faction within the Qing Dynasty.

Because of their hatred, they hated all the decisions made by the imperial government. Since the imperial government was going to be conservative, they were going to innovate. Since the imperial government was going to lock down the country, they were going to look overseas. This was not to say that they were knowledgeable, but it was purely an instinctive form of hatred and resistance.

But when they truly came into contact with Western learning, under the influence of the Qing San Ye, they really changed. They actually put in effort to learn and accept Western learning.

They had seen the mysterious telegraph experiment that the Third Master had conducted. The east and west rooms were over ten meters apart, and a line of poem was written on the stone mountain in the east room. However, Telegraph operator moved his finger and instantly, the stone water in the west room was received.

They had also seen the various types of Gun that the Qing San Ye had secretly hidden, the two generals Erlei Su and Mugwort. They had only realized that it was not wrong for the oculi bridge to have lost when they saw the battle formation begin to slaughter the cavalry regiment.

There was also Cheng Huai who was an expert in business, he had even secretly gone to the Ryukyu to inspect once, and the magnificent scene of the myriad sails gathering and the goods passing through the sky had conquered him, the aura of the top echelon in the old shopkeeper, was so oppressive that he could not breathe.

Not only was Qing San Ye able to come up with a theory, he was also able to come up with an irrefutable fact. From then on, the leader of the Qing Dynasty belonged to him.

It was a pity that this group of people had not received any secret training from the Discipline Hall. Their whereabouts had already been discovered by the imperial government before the palace mutiny occurred. However, they had not hidden themselves back then. After Ci Xi activated C C C palace transformations, the minister of nine city gates locked the capital's master. Not a single one of these unlucky bastards ran away, and they were all roasted alive.

If not for them knowing that Qing San Ye had led their troops to kill Jingshan and Ci Xi, they might have already told everyone the secret in their stomachs.

People relied on hope to survive. As the resistance on the Jingshan became more and more tenacious, the hope in their hearts grew bigger and bigger. They could even judge the situation outside by the strength of the tortures that were carried out daily by the yamen runners.

The time it took to execute the punishment became shorter and shorter, and the constables' attitude gradually softened. In the end, they went through the motions and completed the mission. They simply whipped the servants twice, and the quality of the food also became better and better.

All these proved that San Ye was about to win. Sure enough, the moment Xiao Letian's new army entered the city, the door to the Ministry of Justice's prison was opened. A group of government officials kowtowed and bowed, asking for the doctor's treatment.

This group of Spirit Monkeys had sharp noses, the Empress Dowager of the East had already clearly supported the reformist, and the Qing San Ye had already become a second grade leader. When these ancestor's feet left the prison, they would need to be promoted, if not ask them to spare their lives now, wouldn't that mean that they would take revenge in the future?

Just like that, the five leaders of the reformist were led out of the prison, and under the protection of the new army, they returned to their homes.

After several days of recuperation, the injuries on their bodies recovered a lot. Today, under the Third Master's lead, the six of them traveled together to Beijing under the administration of the new army.

"This, this, this, this …" Is this still the capital? How come I haven't seen a complete upheaval in four or five days? " The two brothers, Stone Mountain and Water, had never seen the capital so clean. Every street and alley was being cleaned. The eight banners and the Green Battalion were all being captured by the new army.

Under the threat of the Gun and the bayonet, and under the stimulation of the rice and braised pork, all the soldiers became laborers. The mud that had accumulated on the streets for who knows how many years was swept away, and countless people were painting the walls of the alleyway white.

What was even more shocking was that all the crossroads of Beijing had temporary sheds, which were all filled with imported white rice.

"Oh my god, the price of rice in the dryad years is only this much, the capital is actually back to the price of rice in the dryad years? are these all the methods of the Prime Minister Xiao? " Even though Erlei Su was a Mongolian, he lived in the capital for generations, so he could be considered a native. When he saw the price of rice, he was stunned.

The Fuqing proudly said, "That's right, this is Xiao Letian's method, in the entire Great Qing, only I, his brother, have the ability to cause trouble, and a large amount of these white rice are transported from the Southern Ocean, the people of the capital are considered lucky …"

Not long after, they arrived at the construction site of the sulcus longus which Xiao Letian was paying special attention to. Only here was everyone able to see the spirit of Xiao Letian.

From afar, they looked like a group of ants crawling around. Both sides of the sulcus longus were covered with green bricks and under the direction of the great artisans, the roads paved with green bricks gradually extended forward.

The few people present were all people from Old Beijing, sulcus longus and the others had come here before, and the soul threatening stench was unforgettable for them, but now, although there was still a stench, it was completely different from before.

"This, this, this, this …" How much money would it cost? The Prime Minister has nothing to spend on anymore? "

San Ye laughed: "That brother of mine wouldn't do business with a loss. He paid a third of the price for the entire plan to reform the sulcus longus, the remaining imperial court would pay half, and the Letian Firm would pay half …"

"My brother has already bought all the land on both sides of the sulcus longus. In his plan, the sulcus longus will attract clean and fresh water, and after that, the land would be filled with lotus flowers. On both sides of the road are business shops and brothels … As for the commoner's cave behind us, it has been converted into a beautiful courtyard house. How much do you think we'll earn from this? "

"At first, I didn't understand either, but later on my brother got someone to draw a 'effect map' that looked like an imaginary future sulcus longus, and then made a copy to send it to each of the noble families. What do you think?"

San Ye sneered and said: "All of the princes and stewards have secretly contacted the Letian Firm. All of them want a share of the silver that is sent overseas!"

"Hiss …" Everyone inhaled a breath of cold air. They did not expect Xiao Letian to have such high skills. On the surface, he was leading troops to threaten the imperial government, but he was secretly doing business with the nobles.

Right at this moment, over a hundred handcarts appeared on both sides of sulcus longus. On them were buckets of steaming white rice and buckets of pork noodles and stew.

"It's time for lunch …" Today, it was Red Braised Meat. Each of them had a bowl of Red Braised Meat, rice and pickles ready to be eaten … "F * ck, you have to thank the Prime Minister properly. When you became a soldier, your food wasn't as good as it is now!"

"What are you guys doing here?" When you were in the army, if the Kitchen stew was able to add a spoonful of lard, it would be considered your new year. Now look at the days, it's Red Braised Meat! Just based on the food, it's worth the effort! "

"It's time for lunch, it's time for lunch! Take the bamboo sticks you've been working on today and come get your lunch!"

The fragrance of the Red Braised Meat filled the air, and the working Green Battalion s all ate as if they were reincarnated from starved ghost. Their heads were buried in their bowls, and the sounds of food being scooped filled the air.
