C935 Unwilling to be a True Dragon.

"The absolute monarchy has come to an end. The future world must be a time where power replaces power and civil rights force the imperial power... Do you think I would go sit in that crater? "

"Even if I am allowed to go against the heavens, how many lives would I need in exchange for our group's collective position? How much do you think there will be? "

"Jiangnan caused trouble at the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. Xiao Hexin, Sima Yun, Wang Huaiyuan, how many of you were killed in the war over ten years ago? "There's no need to be silent, I can tell you that both sides and innocent civilians have died more than 100 million times!"

"I don't want a throne made of flesh and blood. I, Xiao Letian, don't have the luck to step on other people's corpses and walk up there. That's why I wanted to become the emperor.

Xiao Letian said with a sneer, "Do you two still remember the Luo Hao and Wen Xiu that I met when I just arrived in the capital? Now, they are only here in the Qing Province to help the ISI rein in the hearts of the traitors. The two of them have only come to the Ryukyu once … "

"Why have I exiled them, the literati who followed me very early, from the core of my power? "After I became the Prime Minister of the Ryukyu, the two of them actually offered me their trump card, letting me take the place of them and seize the Ryukyu first before entering Taiwan. They will then build a base and then attempt to take the throne …"

Ah? Everyone was stunned. No one had thought that there would be such a thing happening back then. Furthermore, no one knew about it. Luo Hao and Wen Xiu had become subordinates of Wang Shizheng when she was writing about Journey to the West in the capital and fighting with Wang Shizheng and Old Han Lin. According to the time taken, she should be no later than Xiao Hexin and the others by a few days.

This kind of person should be a member of the core circle of power of Xiao Letian, but what was unexpected was that Xiao Letian actually abandoned them out of the core circle.

"So this is where my roots are?" Xiao Hexin let out a long sigh, and the words in his heart didn't come out. Actually, Luo Hao and Wen Xiu had contributed quite a bit against Wang Shizheng's group of old men. Afterwards, when the ISI infiltrated and rebelled against the basic officials of the Great Qing Empire, the two of them had worked together quite a bit.

Right now, in the entire Great Qing Province, more than 140 county officials had already been rebelled, and more than 60 officials, who were publicly and publicly but had secretly surrendered to Xiao Letian, were also rebelled by these two.

It was precisely because of this reckless contribution that Xiao Letian had banished him. It could be seen that the Prime Minister's core strategy could not be wavered at all.

Xiao Letian did not care about the change in their expressions and continued to speak, "Don't think that I am just spouting alarmist rumors. Let alone the fact that I am lagging far behind in terms of power, what about those powerful Monarchs in Europe? One by one, they will also be given the power to the council and cabinet! ""

"Emperor of France Napoleon III, the gap between him and the cabinet is already very deep. The Mexican war and the unfavorable Ryukyu war have displeased the representatives of the capitalists, and the French have already awakened from their consecutive victories. Very soon, these capital elites will join hands to control Napoleon III's road to power."

"Relatively speaking, the King of Prussia is slightly better. The loyalty the people have towards him is still very high, but even so, they still have to allow the strong Prime Minister, Bismark, to make the national policy! Bismark had plotted all foreign affairs, internal affairs, and even the direction of the war … In the end, even the Crown Prince had to act as his assistant.

"Of course there's also the British Empire. The Queen has already transferred most of her power to the Prime Minister, including the power to mobilize the army for the war, to the Prime Minister and the Parliament. Can you imagine that? The world's most powerful Britain, the Queen is only a puppet … "

"Of course, my words are a little inaccurate. The Queen still has influence, as long as she ascends to the top, any British Prime Minister would have to back down. After all, this is Britain's golden age … But it's undeniable that the queen's power is weakening bit by bit... "

"In time, will the British royal family evolve into an image of a nation that does not exercise any power? I think it's quite possible that the king was beheaded in England... "

Xiao Letian let out a long sigh, "I don't want to be pushed onto the guillotine in the future, and even more so, don't want others to open doors to humiliate my corpse after I die …" Hearing that, Luo Huo slammed the table and roared, "Let me see who dares! Our army is not weak! "

"Sit down!" Xiao Letian glared at him and said, "Do you still want to live forever? We will die of old age one day, and the future generations will humiliate me and scold me sooner or later. Maybe a hundred years later I will become a traitor. "As long as you do something, there will be gains and losses. Naturally, there will be people who love you and people will hate you. Isn't that normal? Why are you so excited?"

"If you don't believe me, ask Wang Huaiyuan. What happened in Tanggu in the past half year? "The people who block West Water Gate's path are innumerable in number, and they curse me with all their might every single day …"

Seeing Wang Huaiyuan nod his head, the generals who had not returned to Tanggu for a long time asked in disbelief, "What's going on?"

Wang Huaiyuan laughed bitterly as he shook his head and sighed, "It's just an enmity between them, that's all. My greed and Prime Minister's request for the army and local officials not to take the blame for my words, so …"

Just as Ryukyu was having her secret meeting in the storm, the Tanggu, who was thousands of miles away to the north, was in the middle of a bitter summer where the dogs would stick out their tongues in the hot sun.

The leaves and crops that were as hot as the sun had all withered away. The road became even more boisterous as he stepped on them. White smoke began to emit from them and they were drowned in the smoke.

Everyone was dispirited. No one wanted to say a word. The whole street was dead quiet. Unless it was a family that couldn't open the pot, they wouldn't go out to work at this time.

There was a town to the west of the Tanggu called Bei Tong, which was a commercial town since the Ming Dynasty. As the second line of defense protecting the Da Gu Kou, there were also two strong cannons, but Bei Tong was currently in the Tanggu District, and according to the agreement, the military defense here was completely under the control of the new army of the Ryukyu.

On the west side of the North Pond near the sea, was the west gate of the Special Administrative Region, which the locals called the West Water Gate. There were new cannon emplacements built on both the north and south sides of the place. The 88-millimetre Armstrong rapid fire gun could easily control the entire ocean with its crossfire. Adding more than ten Gatling heavy machine gun s, the West Water Gate's defenses could be said to be impregnable.

There were many cargo ships everywhere on the sea and river, and export goods such as pig mane, rhubarb, and various kinds of ores were constantly being transported to Tanggu. In addition to that, there were also strict checks on the taxes and taxes on West Water Gate, so almost every night, they would gather into a big lump and there would not be a smooth time for them.

"Get off the ship …" I have already waited for six hours, but I still can't pass. How did Xiao Letian this brat manage to do that? "It's all messed up …"

"Get off the ship and walk on the dry road. I don't believe that they'll be able to block off the wild lands …"

An old and angry voice made the surroundings quieten down. Everyone looked at this old man with a Shanxi accent, and in the end, they recognized him at a glance when they saw that Queue length was a veteran.

"Ouch …" Isn't this old fellow Fan Ru? Brother of the old shopkeeper, why is this bastard here … "
