C1262 Bandits

"Before Manchu entered the stage, he had already learned from the experiences of countless minorities in the history of Central Plains. They clearly knew that relying on a small number of slaves was very dangerous, but it was also unrealistic. In a short period of time, they might be able to take advantage of it, but sooner or later, the Han people would have to beat them back …"

"Not only are they fighting back, but the Chinese are also good at stealing interest. That group of Chinese are really malevolent … Therefore, the Manchu began to form alliances. He decided to form an alliance with the few peoples with the most power and population, and control the wealth of the Central Plains together … "

"Mongolia is the first to enter the war chariot. They need iron grade equipment, salt grade tea bricks, various medicines, cloth silk and other goods from the Central Plains. They also need the tax payment from the Han people every year to support their luxurious life …"

"As for the pars dorsalis, Kang Xi, Yongzheng and the dryad were also trying to rope them in as well, and in the end, even coaxed them into getting their own chariots. Those border pars dorsalis did not need to pay any taxes to the imperial government, but they could often get the support of the goods and money of the Central Plains.

"Cough, cough, cough …" Looking at the hidden grounds, the Manchu had already established the buddhist faith as the national religion. How many Taoist temples, and how many lamas? "How many living Buddhas are conferred, and how much gold and silver are provided for …"

"Actually, all strategies have their roots in this. All they have done is to control the majority with a few people. Only by forming a clique can they control the Central Plains more easily. The Han Chinese …" "In their eyes, they are just a bunch of slave workers who only know how to work!"

Facing the old farmer and his own brothers, Ceng Guofan finally spoke his mind. This was also a high level Overlord Intent Technique that they had never touched before, this was a true national strategy.

Ceng Guofan was truly worthy of being called a hero. He had the same ability as Xiao Letian to lengthen the time axis, and when faced with a problem, they could extend the time axis up to a hundred or a thousand years before analyzing it together. This way, his heart wouldn't be bound by the bit of fog in front of him.

Jiu Shuai was originally a scholar himself, so the realm between him and his brother was just a layer of paper. Now that he understood Jiu Shuai, he naturally had a sudden insight.

Jiu Shuai was so shocked that his back was drenched in sweat. He did not expect his cultivation level to be so far from Big Brother's, this was truly the first time he was seeing things from this kind of angle.

The old farmer was a martial artist after all. He had a decisive fighting spirit, upon hearing Manchu's two hundred years of scheming, he became so angry that his breathing became heavy. The ice-cold towel in his hand became tighter and tighter, and finally, the sturdy dipping towel that was infused with inner strength was twisted into pieces in an instant.

"Damn it!" Are you bullying my China? "Too despicable …"

Ceng Guofan waved his hands, "Actually, it doesn't matter how despicable they are. If a few races want to live, or even live well, he would have to use this kind of venomous scheme and insidious method, if not, with the huge number of Han people, they would have already been chewed to the point of not leaving any bones."

"Now that the situation has changed, the Westerners came over from the sea and even suffered a few times when fighting with the Manchu. At this point, the dream of the Empire of Heaven has started to fade and the first Manchu who calmed down finally remembered their identity as a minority …"

"Once we get rid of this arrogant and conceited mindset, what do you think the Manchu will do?"

Great Marshal Zeng shook his head: "There won't be any unending improvements, and there won't be any major industrial developments either. Manchu was born with no understanding of construction, that isn't something they are good at … Their only choice is still that old road, and that is to pull the Western tribes into an alliance! "

"The Han people are a gold mine. Before, it was the Manchu who divided the gold with those people, and now the French Russian has come as well. They also want to share the gold in this gold mine … At first, Manchu and the rest were planning to fight, but what if they can't? "

"Hahaha …" If you can't beat them, then negotiate. After dividing up the rights to the gold mine, it's better for every family to eat less than being defeated! "

"To give a simple example, in the past the Manchu took sixty percent for himself, now let the Westerners come in and mix them together with a bunch of Gun cannons plus a civil war … They found out they couldn't eat sixty percent, so what should they do? "Then sell the country, sell the thirty percent in his possession to the foreign devil …"

"It's always better to keep 30% of myself than 10%!" So don't scold the Manchu for selling out their country, what did they sell out? Actually, they didn't sell anything! "It's just that the bandits split the loot and renegotiated the ratio …"

Speaking till this point, Ceng Guofan was already too exhausted to continue speaking. His entire body was drenched in cold sweat and his clothes. Let me rest! You think of a way to send a message to Xiao Letian … "Let him be careful, he must be careful. Don't let anyone flank the base of the Far East's loyal troops …"

The old farmer and Jiu Shuai both quietly left the room, standing in the cold wind and took a few deep breaths.

The old farmer said with incomparable grief and indignation, "Why would such a crappy imperial court want to protect him?" Why didn't the marshal rebel! "Why didn't you rebel …"

Jiu Shuai shook his head and sighed, he patted the old farmer's shoulders and said, "I didn't understand it in the past, but now I understand it! It's not that my big brother doesn't have the aura of an emperor, nor is it that my big brother doesn't have that ability … It's a pity that my big brother doesn't have that opportunity! "

"Rebellion is not something that can be done overnight. It takes time to manage a little bit of it... Big brother and I are old, we have the ability but no time. No wonder big brother thinks so highly of Xiao Letian! "Age is everything, youth is naturally invincible …"

"If Xiao Letian wins this battle, I will do something about it in Europe … I'm afraid there will be no one in this world who can control him anymore! "

The old farmer felt dissatisfied in his heart and said, "Then shall we just marry him for free?"

Jiu Shuai was already enlightened. He smiled at the old farmer and asked, "Then should we just help Manchu get married for nothing?"

A sentence to ask the old farmer, the night wind blowing people's hearts cool.

Fu Qing's message was summarized in front of the old man. He didn't dare to delay and quickly sent the details of his discussion with the Russian Minister together with this message to the Forbidden City.

However, something unexpected happened. The empress dowagers did not express anything, he only nodded and praised the old man and Fu Qing a few times, but in the end, the matter was put on hold.

The old man and Fu Qing returned to their respective posts, and the negotiating team was dissolved just like that!

Before the war, the air of East Asia seemed to have frozen, everyone's eyes were cast towards the sea in the east, this battle was destined to change the political structure of East Asia, and now Russian fleet was slowly approaching the Amami Oshima.
