C1130 Great Jianghu with Small Roles

Until today, the Qing Dynasty finally understood how great the technology of the Westerners was. Looking at the telegram sent by General Guangzhou, the people of the Yangxin Palace sighed.

Ci An heaved a long sigh as he held onto the slip of paper, "What do you think we should be doing in the past? Why would such a good thing like this telegraph be treated as a monster then? "

Yi sighed, "It's not that we think of telegrams as beasts, but rather that the officials in the court who don't know anything think of them as beasts! Even today, people in the court still say that this thing is a little kid madly sending messages inside, otherwise, how could it be so fast! "

Today, Ci Xi and the others truly understood the benefits of technology. The second piece of information that the Head Office sent over was from General Guangzhou, the news that was shocking.

On the message, the General of Guangzhou reported back to the Imperial Court that the Russian expedition fleet had arrived at the Lion Country, which was commonly known as the Sri Lanka.

The Chinese had a long history of managing South Asia. There was no need to mention the matters of Sui and Tang Dynasties. In fact, since the Song Dynasty, the Chinese had a unique influence on the Thousand Islands of South Asia.

Since ancient times, this place had always been the backyard of Chinese merchants and ruled by Confucianism. Furthermore, every time war broke out in the Central Plains, large numbers of people would come here to seek refuge.

Over time, the influence of the Chinese on this land has grown so great that even Western colonists cannot afford to underestimate it.

Since Nan Yang belonged to a land outside of the law, the domestic laws did not control it. As a result, merchants had a very high status in this land, and there were no messy restrictions at all.

That was why, from the Arabian all the way to Southeast Asia, this vast region was filled with the figures of Chinese merchants. Furthermore, at that time, Chinese merchants were deeply influenced by Confucianism and had a strong national philosophy.

At this time, the overseas Chinese Shang was very united. They did not dare to say that they were sharing the resources, but at least they shared the information.

The moment Russian's fleet appeared on the east coast of Africa, they were discovered by the Chinese Shang of the Indian Ocean. They used their own unique channels to spread the news, and coupled with the increasing power of the global telegraph network, the fleet started to gather bit by bit domestically.

Maybe the Chinese Shang only wanted to share a business opportunity with them in the beginning, since war always brought a lot of money and resources, but there were always patriotic people who would be willing to give this information to other countries. Of course, there were those who recognized Xiao Letian as a country, and there were some who recognized Qing Dynasty as a country.

General Guangzhou was the head of the imperial court's most important officials in Guangdong Province. His subordinates, Eight Flags Soldier Ding, were not only in charge of guarding the place but also constantly monitoring the Chinese Officer and gathering intelligence.

When he received the same piece of information from three independent channels, he finally confirmed the authenticity of the information. He did not dare delay General Guangzhou from quickly reporting it to the Beijing, as it was the top secret message on the table.

"A sudden realization! Now everything was clear … Elder Ceng is expressing his loyalty to us, I was not mistaken about him! " Ci Xi sneered as he looked at the message.

"If we can hear the news of the Russian coming to Asia from Beijing, how could Ceng Guofan not know about it in Nanjing? How could the marshal not express his stance at such a critical moment? This group of Chinese Officer, this is something to be angered about, something to laugh about, and something to respect! "

Ci Xi did not need to explain himself, everyone present knew what he meant, and nodded: "No need to say, since the Great Marshal has expressed his stance, the Imperial Court cannot be stingy, mention it to the close relatives of the Great Marshal Family, including Ceng Guoquan, who cannot wait any longer … From the looks of it, this old Zeng Family is still loyal! "

Ci Xi's mouth curved into a cold smile as he said, "Loyalty? Hehe … They are loyal to this country, not to our family in Manchu, you scumbags better not mess around! "

"How can I forget what you just said …"

At the same time, the Gemeinschaft outside the front door and the three noble people within the small box on the second floor were chatting merrily while Yang Zhi, who was seated in the main seat, continuously poured wine for Li Tuo and the zingiberis radix that had just arrived.

It was the first day of the new year, so logically, all the restaurants in Beijing would be closed for business. It was not that these merchants did not want to earn money and wanted to rest, but no one came to open the door.

But what Yang Zhi never thought of, was that when he was unable to call out a shop owner's status, including that of a lord who received three times the reward, Li Tuo could only tap his fingers lightly three times. Then, after a few words, the door of the Gemeinschaft opened.

The only customers in the entire shop were their table, and the level of service they received was also very high. The boss, Yang Quanren, personally came to the dining hall to serve the dishes, and the former chef, Master Sun, personally roasted the ducks.

The crispy duck was sliced into small pieces. It was called sweet as it was dipped in sweet sauce and vegetables, and all sorts of cold dishes were placed on the table. The zingiberis radix was eating like a reincarnated starved ghost.

The service was good, the dishes were good, and the prices would definitely not be low. Not only did Yang Zhi have to pay for his table, the boss and chef outside had to pay for their table as well. Furthermore, he also had to pay for the red packets during the start of the new year.

"If you don't want the bonds, you're going to get the shining, Dragon Mark Silver Ocean." Boss Yang kept saying, "It's the new year, I don't want a piece of paper. Why don't you give me some joy?"

Alright! In any case, Yang Zhi was not lacking in money, let alone 250, even if it was two hundred and fifty, he still needed to spend.

"Brother Li, drink slowly. There's plenty of wine …" Brother will roll you a duck! "Tell me more about this place. Not to mention those two telegrams, even I am a little confused at today's banquet!"

"Why can't you open a restaurant on the first day of the new year with a few words? To be honest, what exactly is your identity? "

The zingiberis radix's mouth was filled with food, it had to drink a cup of wine before being able to suppress it. Just a sixth stage Little Zhang Jing, in Beijing, his status is only slightly higher than the laborers! "

"But, my lord, don't underestimate us. Small characters are also related to the martial arts world. Sometimes, big matters of changing days are left to us to handle. Do you think so?"

"Huh?" Yang Zhi was startled: "What do you mean, small characters also have big rivers?"

Li Tuo drained his cup of warm yellow wine and let out a long breath, "My lord!" In your eyes, what on earth is this imperial court? Those five and six people who are dressed like beasts and beasts in the imperial court, could it be that they are the stars that have descended from the heavens? "

"Nonsense, it's all just bullshit …" "I understand that no matter how big a person is, in the end, we small characters will kill them all. Do you believe me?"
