C1430 Jiu Shuai was enlightened

After a long night of sighing, Jiu Shuai finally felt free from the knot in his heart. He understood Big Brother's painstaking efforts;

Other than that, Jiu Shuai had finally found out what big brother had been thinking all this while. Why didn't Ceng Guofan say anything to him earlier? That was because the time was not right, so what if he said it out loud? If he said it too early, with Ceng Guoquan's arrogant temperament, he would absolutely not be convinced.

Ceng Guofan could not possibly tell Ninth Brother that this man was not ordinary when he first met Xiao Letian secretly, and would possibly inherit the mantle of a Chinese nation and raise the flag of his people, right?

If Great Marshal Zeng had said so at that time, then with Jiu Shuai's temper, he would have immediately killed Xiao Letian.

Everything had to wait until the time was right. When would it be? They had to wait for Xiao Letian to perform a miracle that would stun the entire world, and make Ninth Brother convinced from the bottom of his heart before they could throw out these words.

Xiao Letian wrote < The Journey to the West >. Xiao Letian set up his overseas trip, entered the Ryukyu, and used his bare hands to instigate a hundred thousand Chinese uprising. He destroyed both the island and the city, and sat firmly on the prime minister's throne.

A strong army entering Europa, a battle of Poo War s, had caused even a European military observer to be stunned, did you submit?

After that, they annihilated the French invasion fleet, fought a short battle with the Qing Dynasty in the Beijing Belt, and even captured the capital. Xiao Letian was actually able to serve as the Regent for a few months, did you, Ol 'Nine, submit?

In the end, they took away the Tongzhi Emperor, and when they were in control of Japan, they marched into the South America and brought out a Chinese colony.

The Zhiyuan Warship controlled the Great Qing economy, the Zhiyuan Warship created a miracle with a great amount of money, the sea war struck and disturbed the Atlantic route, in the end, they destroyed the Russian fleet, and they heavily besieged the Russian Expeditionary forces, are you convinced?

He had no choice but to accept it! You have to wait until you, Ceng Guoquan, are completely convinced. You know that you cannot do all of this, so that you can truly open your heart and listen to your big brother's reasoning.

Don't think that the Xiang Army is awesome, the Xiang Army is only at home, in Jiangnan it is awesome, the moment they leave their homeland their battle strength would be discounted.

Needless to say further, the veterans that Zuo Jigao brought with him were all elites of the elites. However, in the west, they would need to be fed with silver before they could fight.

In the past, the imperial government had not given Zuo Jigao that much cash even when they exterminated the long-hair army. Now, they had to pay Zuo Jigao enough military salaries, and Hu Xueyan was already tired to the point of vomiting blood as well.

It was all because it was a fight in a foreign land, the Xiang Army was fighting for the sake of money, no one could even think of fighting without the help of money.

This was what it meant to fight in Great Qing, then what if one day, the soldiers had to go abroad to fight? At that time, when you come to a country that you are unfamiliar with, do you think you will still work hard?

These questions were like gigantic hammers smashing at the bottom of Jiu Shuai's heart, causing his proud heart to be filled with cracks.

Once upon a time, Xiang Army, riding on the glory of victory, was so strong that even the foreign citizens had to pay their respects to him. At that time, all the foreign citizens had to raise their eyebrows in respect.

It was precisely this kind of illusory scene that caused Jiu Shuai's ambition to rise rapidly. In his craziest moment, he could not understand his big brother's insinuations, nor could he understand the mocking and ridicule from the Manchu. His only thought was to get to the next level.

In the true history, Qing Liu and Jiu Shuai's own brother had suppressed his desire, and in the end, made his dream come to naught.

And today, it was Xiao Letian who used an almost inconceivable and dazzling battle record to intimidate his ambitions, and when Jiu Shuai let out a sigh that could not be compared to mine, his rebellious heart completely shattered.

After flipping over this page, he saw that the sky was wide, and when he opened the window, Jiu Shuai could see that the stars in the sky were even more transparent than usual.

"Big brother, don't worry!" Let's not talk about it when we have more brothers. It's not a problem to protect Jiangnan for the next twenty years! What if Xiao Letian still isn't able to accomplish it after twenty years? "

Ceng Guofan laughed behind him, "Will we still be able to after twenty years? Don't worry about it, just focus on your fate! "

After a long night of sighing, the two brothers did not sleep at all. In the end, under the service of his younger brother, the marshal finally mustered up enough energy and smoked a pot of good Indian horseshoe soil.

The old farmer quickly came over from the outside. "Along the river, the garrison sent a telegram saying that the Zhiyuan Warship will arrive in Jiangning at 9 o'clock in the morning! The Emperor is here! "

"Good, good, good! Are the welcoming ceremony all ready? Are we ready for our statement? "Since everything is ready, let's go …"

On that day, Jiangning became a field of excitement as hundreds of thousands of citizens rushed to the streets to welcome the Tongzhi Emperor on his tour of Jiangning. The welcome ceremony was grand and orthodox, but he was already somewhat heroic when he was young.

A hundred officials and tens of thousands of citizens kowtowed to the emperor, and the young emperor consoled them, then announced that Jiangning was free of one year's worth of money and food taxes. This was a gift from the emperor, and then the Jiangning Grand Commander's Estate began a banquet to welcome his majesty.

As the Imperial Advisor, Xiao Letian and the little emperor sat at the main seat, protecting the left and right of Ceng Guofan. After the banquet, Ceng Guofan announced the start of the martial arts parade.

Xiang Army had picked two thousand people to perform for the little Emperor, and tens of thousands of citizens had come to watch the ceremony until the last little Emperor to perform.

On behalf of the Jiangnan Xiang Army, Ceng Guofan requested for the emperor to personally take over the throne at the age of fourteen and he also cited the precedent of how the Sacred Emperor Kang Xi would do it.

The Kang Xi Emperor succeeded him at the age of eight, took the throne at the age of fourteen, and succeeded him at the age of five.

Ceng Guofan was clearly putting the Tongzhi Emperor and Master Kang Xi together. The civilians and soldiers of Jiang Ning should have already rehearsed it beforehand, so they immediately cried out for mercy and kneeled on the ground to beg the little emperor for mercy.

Zai Chun was so excited that his face was flushed red. He almost nodded and agreed, but when he looked at his teacher who was standing beside him out of the corner of his eyes, he immediately recalled the instructions from last night.

This was actually just a show. Before Emperor Tongzhi could finish his European travel, before his New Imperial Army could grow stronger, Zai Chun should have been further away from the Forbidden City.

The warning message was very clear. Zai Chun's position and status was recognized by the Xiangjun Group, so regardless of whether or not he was in charge of the affairs of the world, the Xiang Army would still resolutely carry out any decree that Zai Chun gave out.

Did an emperor who had no political authority have the right to exempt himself from a year's taxation in Jiangning? Logically speaking, there shouldn't be, but since the Xiang Army was willing to accept this decree, then this decree should be legal.

Can an emperor without a dictatorship decide the legitimacy of the Suzhou stock market? Logically speaking, there shouldn't be, but as long as Xiang Army and the Chinese admit it, then this decree should be legal.

That day, Zai Chun said three sentences and announced that he would never consider personal affairs until he had completed his studies. When Great Marshal Zeng saw that the Emperor was firm in his stance, he kneeled on the ground and kowtowed to him.

The welcoming ceremony in Jiangning ended smoothly and successfully.
