C728 The threat of the Confucian Scholars

To be fair, Ci Xi was not a person who did not understand politics. On the contrary, her political maturity far exceeded that of the ministers in the imperial court.

If Ci Xi was in charge, and she was the leader of the Great Qing, then even if her own son was assassinated, not to mention not succeeding, even if he was successful and received heavy injuries, she had to remain calm and check out Da Qing's background first.

How many soldiers were there? How much money did they have? If they crossed the sea to transport troops, would there be enough ships? If they didn't borrow money from that country?

They even had to take into account the attitude of all the powerful individuals from all over the country. Whoever was in cahoots with anyone would start a fight, and if they didn't want to be clear about this, they would start shouting and shouting. This wasn't something a mature political figure should say.

However, everyone understood her feelings as a mother. No one would give her face on this occasion.

Ci An's heart was full of disgust, she knew clearly what Ci Xi was thinking. He had broken away from the control of the core of the Great Qing, and she believed that she was no longer required to be his home. If she did not take charge, he would not know how expensive Chai Mi was. In any case, all the problems he faced in the end would go to the Empress Dowager of the East.

He had no money to find Ci An, no food to find Ci An, and he had to find Ci An even if he had no soldiers.

None of the people present were fools, as they could understand what Ci Xi was thinking. However, he was the victim here today, so no one could refute him.

The wind outside the window was getting stronger and stronger. Black clouds were pressing down on the city, and a lightning dragon could be seen in the northwest sky. Ci Xi vented for a good fifteen minutes before he finished the sour plum soup in one gulp like he was drinking strong alcohol.

Before the other officials and officials could even speak, Han Lin, who was brought in by Weng Tonghe, jumped out first. Since ancient times, many scholars were angry, and these scholars with different finances were all fanatical, of course they supported sending out troops. In their eyes, if the great powers were disgraced by the Japanese people, it would be a great shame and humiliation.

It had been nearly two hundred years since the Manchu had taken over China. In the history of China, a power established by a minority nationality had been able to rule the Chinese-dominated Central Plains for so long. It had to be said to be a miracle.

Of course, would anyone say that the Li Dynasty of Tang Dynasty also had a minority bloodline? Isn't she the most experienced one? But don't forget the Tang Dynasty's Li Dynasty declared to the outside world that they are completely Chinese. Didn't they already recognize me, Li Er, as their ancestor?

Regardless of their lineage, their thoughts and customs of governing the country were very close to those of the Han people, so they were able to gain recognition from the Han people's main class.

The Qing Dynasty was different. After all, as a slave, the absolute central authority had received a huge boost in the killing fields and word prisons. It could be said that in all the dynasties, the central authority had flourished in this Qing Dynasty.

But why would such a dynasty gain the support of the Chinese scholar-officials? The logic behind it would not end even after three days and three nights, but today, in Kiki's tower, these Han Lin faintly revealed some of the true thoughts of a warrior in the forest.

Since ancient times, Chinese literati have had a dream of a great power, a dream of a great power. In ancient times, Chinese literati have had a dream of a great power, a dream of a great nation, a dream of a great nation.

If we open the map of China from time to time, we will find that the territory of the Qing Dynasty was the true flourishing of China.

Western Regions, Mongolia, Qinghai-Tibet, White Mountains, Black Water … These areas that had always threatened the Han people actually became one under the rule of the Qing Dynasty. The elite Han people could depend on the administrative system of the Manchu to spread the light of civilization among the Han people to the borders.

This was a good thing that the previous generations of Confucian Scholars did not even dare to think about! Even to the extent that in the eyes of Ceng Guofan, Zuo Zongtang and the rest, they were using the Qing Dynasty's power to spread the thoughts of the Chinese, slowly improving the enmity between the border regions and the Central Plains Empire, helping the Chinese to integrate with their people faster.

Perhaps fifty years from now, perhaps a hundred years from now, these former enemies of the Chinese would become provinces of China. How wonderful it would be!

The Manchu was using the Han people, and the Han people were also using the Manchu?

The Manchu squeezed the remaining value of the Han people to provide for the royal family and the Eight Banners, and the Chinese elites used the bow and arrow of the Manchu and their leadership position among the foreign races to carry out the national integration?

As long as your Manchu can protect the more than ten million square kilometers of land in front of you, then it doesn't matter if the Chinese provide you with another hundred years or more.

But if you can't hold on to these lands, then the food that is unworthy of the Chinese will not be eaten for nothing, and will naturally be replaced.

Today, Han Lin obviously wouldn't say things so straightforwardly, but his thoughts had already surfaced, "westernization came from the sea, and caught us off guard. This is understandable, but it's really hard to defend against strong guns …" Since you cannot send any more elites to the rebellion of Yaqub in Xinjiang, then just let our Zuo Jigao go, let us Chinese send our Xiang Army … "

"On the surface, it seems to be a fight with Central Asia's Yaqub, but in reality, it's still a fight with's later stages …"

"The problem is now, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom was suppressed by us Han, and the rebellion that was started by the Russia was also brought to the top by Zuo Zongtang, as for the unequal treaty between the strong and powerful in the English and French, it was also made by us Han people to fill in the money, to put it bluntly, it was the protection fee …"

"Damn it, whatever happens is done by us Chinese, what use is there in asking your Manchu? Now, even a small Japan is trying to save face. I would like to ask, a small country like this, won't your Qing Dynasty be able to handle it? "

Han Lin and the others spoke in a very tactful manner, but the Manchu present all broke out in a cold sweat. No one was an idiot, everyone could understand, especially when they heard Weng Tonghe's finishing touch.

"If the assassination in the Osaka is not resolved well, I'm afraid the Great Qing Empire will be shaken!"

What was a country? It was so easy for Tongzhi to have a good start. If it was because of this incident, the heavens would not give Da Qing a second chance.

Unyielding! He had to be tough with Japan. Since things had already come to this point, he could only brace himself and charge forward. But a tough body still needed to be ugly! Is it hard negotiation or hard mobilization? Maybe we should first negotiate before we mobilize our forces. We should first mobilize our forces before negotiate.

The Kiki's tower was suddenly in an uproar!
