C659 Two mad women

"Say something!" At the feet of the Son of Heaven, in a good land, Xiao Letian's new army can leave as they please. Entering and exiting your inner chamber is the same as my own house, are there any laws … " Ci Xi's face darkened.

Opposite him were the Prince Kung and Prince of Alcohol, the two nobles of the Qing Dynasty, and Ci Xi's subordinates. Ci An's and Xiao Letian's combined counterattack on Ci Xi was truly fatal. All the direct descendants of the capital had been swept away, especially the direct descendents of the military.

Originally, he had hoped that General Xie would bring up a Western army for his own use. However, Western troops were not that easy to organize. Just choosing which country to train in was already a difficult task for him.

The British, French, Americans and Russians all threw in their olive branches as they desperately advertised the advantages of their own armies. Some of them even exerted diplomatic pressure on the imperial government, as if they would fall out if they disagreed.

Not only that, the entire country also met with problems with the payment, the oil in the southern part of the Yangtze River had already been sucked dry by the Xiang Army, and even Long-hair of the North was unable to come up with any money.

The northern border and Mongolia had always been a place where the imperial government did not collect taxes. They had always drawn blood from the Han people in the interior to pay them back, but they had never heard of paying the imperial government before.

However, other than some output from the Sichuan Basin, there was not much silver left from scraping the ground in the other places. Yun Gui Chuan was slightly better off and had not been ravaged by the flames of war.

Ci Xi had been hiding in the Forbidden City like a turtle hiding its head, the pressure outside was also on him, it was not easy to set up a new army, and with the hemiparesis who was defeated in the capital causing trouble, all of the Inside Eight Flags were unwilling to accept it.

It wasn't easy for him to get through this year, but it turned out that the little emperor, who only started studying during the Spring Festival, was playing a trick on him again. He still wanted to establish the Son of Heaven's personal army, wasn't this just creating trouble?

Today, the news of the new army entering the city and snatching all the young masters from house to house had already spread throughout the Beijing. The news of the new army entering the city and robbing all the young masters from house to house had already spread throughout the Beijing.

Those heirs of families who had impersonated them were all beaten up badly by the new army. Young master's lambs were all over the streets and they were all crying as they ran home, provoking laughter from the Beijing.

"Laws? Empress Dowager, I'm afraid we really can't say anything about this matter today. Xiao Letian's new army is here with the Emperor's decree after all, so the Chendi can't do anything about it … "

"There's no other way? I has complained so much that it's like a mountain, as the prince, you actually told me that there was no other way? "Say it again if you dare …"

The strength of someone who had completely failed in the palace mutation was swept away by Ci An, and his son was even taken care of by Xiao Letian as well. Now even his two brother-in-law's had started to not listen to him.

Especially you. When you damn climbed onto I's body to enjoy life, how did you promise me that? Didn't you say that you would definitely protect us, the two of us, and enjoy eternal peace?

Yi Yu felt Ci Xi's anger, but he could only clasp his hands and say, "Although His Majesty is this subject's nephew, he is also the emperor of Great Qing. What can I do with him? To expel the new army or to expel Man Shun?

"The Emperor does not have a personal authority yet. You have to remember this. The Qing Dynasty is an era where political power reigns. What decision can an eleven-year-old child make? I can't expel the more than thirty new troops, could he, Xiao Letian, take down the capital once more? "

Ci Xi had truly gone mad. Her facial features were twisted to the point of being incomparably ugly. Do you really think you are that powerful Empress Dowager Xi from before? With the help of the Xiang Army and the New Army, Ci An's power and influence was overflowing.

Yi Yuan sighed deeply, "His Majesty has no personal authority, but he is also the emperor of Great Qing. Some people are willing to listen to his orders." "In the eyes of those people, even if the current emperor hadn't gone through the ceremony of taking over the throne, they would still be willing to listen to his orders …"

"His Majesty wants to train in the Son of Heaven's personal army. Empress Dowager, please let him. He didn't ask the imperial government for any money or food anyways. What are you worried about …"

Without waiting for Yi Nan to finish speaking, Ci Xi suddenly flew into a rage: "What am I worried about? That was the flesh that fell from my body, my child is going to train in the army, am I, the Mother, to just stand by and watch? "Go and think of a way for me to raise money and food …"

Ci Xi's crazed voice came out from Yangxin Palace, in a moment, the two princes ran out with their hands around their heads.

Standing at the side of the path, Prince alcohol said with lingering fear, "Big Brother, is Ci Xi crazy? Why do you not know what to say? He had initially said that he would stand up for those nobles who didn't want to snatch his son away, but how did it become like he was giving money and food to His Majesty? Just what is she planning to do … "

"Let's go, let her be. An old woman who has lost her son, what else can we do but wait for her?" "I'll just raise two to three hundred thousand silver taels later. Don't try to fight with a madman …"

The two princes sighed and left the imperial harem.

At the same time, on top of the Jingshan, a pair of male and female were hugging each other while panting heavily in the middle of the recuperated Kiki's tower. The curtain hung on the red wood bed. Ci An snuggled against the Fuqing's chest, her fingers constantly drawing circles.

"Good person, you just hurt me, I haven't seen you for half a month and you already can't hold it in. Next time, I will let you go out and eat secretly, I will choose a few beautiful palace maids for you later …"

"You really are a demoness. I'm so busy every day that my feet don't even touch the ground, where would I find the energy to secretly eat?" The contract with the United States company has been signed, and the telegraph line will be delivered to us in two months, right now is the busiest time … "

Qing San Ye put on his clothes and got off the bed. He opened Kiki's tower's window and looked down at the brightly lit Beijing from above, sighing deeply, "Ahh, what happened to us Great Qing? How could these nobles be so daring when their emperor had recruited a group of his personal guards and caused such a huge ruckus? He even dared to disobey the emperor's imperial edict, changing people whenever he wanted? "What's wrong with the imperial court …"

Ci An leaned on his pillow and coldly said, "What else could it be? It's just bullying the emperor's age, right? In their eyes, as long as this matter is done properly, they won't care even if the emperor is strong, not to mention that the little emperor is only 11 years old … Right, tell me, is His Majesty's army reliable or not? "

"I think there's no problem. If Xiao Letian's army training method could really be passed to His Majesty, let alone three hundred soldiers, even if it's three thousand, I would be able to learn it. When I was in Tanggu, I had come in contact with these soldiers, they were unimaginably elite!"

"Oh!" That is to say that His Majesty's actions received Xiao Letian's support? "Then that's good, I'll have Zhou Daoying send five hundred thousand silver over. How can he do it without spending money to train the troops …"

Qing San Ye walked over and gently hugged Ci An: "Now I know that you're the only one who truly cares about the Great Qing Dynasty. What you're carrying in your heart is the thousands of miles of mountains and rivers …" As he spoke, Third Master's large hands grabbed onto the mountain in front of Ci An's chest, causing Empress Dowager of the East to groan in admiration again.

Outside the Kiki's tower was Zhou Daoying, bringing along Ci An's most loyal imperial guards. Hearing the heavy breathing inside the building, everyone looked at their noses, not saying a word.

Countless buildings were being sent to between the Jingshan and the North Sea without end. This was the great large project that the imperial government had promised the Empress Dowager of the East, and even the Letian Firm had invested a large amount of funds into the renovation of the entire Jingshan's North Sea.

The North Sea and the Jingshan were now connected as one. The old palace had been renovated, and new buildings were rising from the ground. Countless resources had been gathered here to support this large project. The entire imperial court was using this method to express their loyalty to the empress dowager.

In comparison, Ci Xi didn't know how to curse this big sister when she was inside the old palace, but she was powerless because she was the loser.

The fact was that China had never been short of money. Back then, when Li Zicheng had entered Beijing, the treasury had only contained 200,000 taels of gold and silver. However, in the end, the chancellor's family had actually copied out 70 million taels of gold.

The two hundred years of wealth amassing in the noble clans of the Qing Dynasty was not slower than the powerful nobles of the past. When the Empress Dowager of the East began repairing the Northern Sea, the repayment of silver taels had already accumulated to five million silver taels.

This was not a lot at all. When Xiao Letian changed the sulcus longus into a commercial street many years ago and sold his countless land to these influential people, within three days, he had bought a house for 25 million. It could be seen that the real estate industry had been a lucrative business since ancient times.

The Eight Banner Alliance was so wealthy, but the imperial government was so weak. If Prince Kung wanted to train a Western army, he would have to pay more than two million silver taels.

In the eyes of the Manchu, reporting two taels of silver to the Empress Dowager of the East was a sign of loyalty. In the future, one could repay their loyalty to their family and ensure the safety of their family.

Even a fool could see that there would be economic benefits in the future. If a few pieces of it fell into Xiao Letian's hands, it would become a ten thousand year old industry.

As for the imperial government practicing the western style army, these eight banner lords would definitely support it, even if they had to raise their hands to support it! Wasn't the Great Qing just the suffering of the Westerners? But if you want me to pay, it must be two words, no.

If they wanted to train the army, they would have to find the treasury money. Since the treasury didn't have the money, they could just ask the Chinese to collect more taxes.

This was the situation of the Great Qing Dynasty, every time they thought of it, their hearts would be twisted like knives, and the only thing he could do was to rely on his own strength on the Industrial Zones to create a treasure pot for the imperial government.

"The nation is doomed! If even the Manchu himself did not care about this country, then who could be expected to love this country? Manchu has already given up on this country, so do you still want our country to care about you? "

Ai Xinjueluozaichun stood at the window and looked in the direction of the Beijing, his mouth constantly repeating the words his master had said, pressing down on his heart like a thousand kilogram boulder.

Xin Jing spoke wildly: It's been a few days since I last came out for a chat, has anyone forgotten about me? Hehe, maybe a lot of people only read books and didn't know who the author was.

However, Xin Jing still jumped out unabashedly to advertise a few sentences. "Great Qing Hidden Dragon" was not Xin Jing's only book, Xin Jing still had a science fiction book "Interstellar Hunting Nation" which was also very good to look at, a book with more than 2 million words was completed, it would be a good choice to take a look at when the time comes, welcome to see the official version of Interstellar Hunting Nation!

They welcomed everyone to come in and chat. The group was Xin Jing's only channel of communication, and was also the only platform where she could communicate with the readers.

Many people left messages on different websites. Sorry, Xin Jing, for being unable to reply due to her limited energy, I can only invite you to condescend and come to the group to chat with us.
