In Tanggu City, Master Qing San is definitely an alternative. In this city full of industrial atmosphere and strong Westernization flavor, there are not many people walking in sedan chairs with long braids and cheongsams and jackets.

The folk customs have changed, and people from the Qing Dynasty have to follow the customs. Many Qing Dynasty merchants come here to do business, and quietly hide their braids, and put on suits or Western casual clothes. They put a Western gold pocket watch in their chest pockets, tied with long chains to buttons, and it would be so fashionable when they walked on the street.

Only businessmen dressed up in this way can be eaten, interpersonal communication can make others look down upon, and people are willing to do business with you. Moreover, there is a Western-style carriage factory in Tanggu City. The lightweight carriage is equipped with several sets of spring shock absorbers. The exquisite bearings reduce friction and can run quickly and steadily with just one horse.

Who is still using sedan chairs these days? They are narrow and stuffy. The four sedan chairmen are so tired that they can't run fast. The cold wind leaks in winter and the hot summer is no different from prison.

The most important thing is that the Prime Minister once said that when China was prosperous, no one sat in a sedan chair, civil officials rode cars, and military generals rode horses. Only when society declined would there be such direct and similar phenomena.

If you want transportation tools, you have a ox cart and a horse. If you ride a mule all over the street, no one cares about you! If you have to ride on someone, do you show your nobleness?

The prime minister's thoughts can already influence the overall values ​​of the Chinese people. This is true for people to think about it. Cars and horses are comfortable and faster than sedan chairs. Why not use it to enslave sedan chairmen? Use oppression of other weak people to show their nobility?

It is not necessary to use a fast and comfortable carriage, but to use a human-powered sedan chair. This is actually a very specific manifestation of social regression.

The atmosphere of riding a carriage has rapidly become popular in areas controlled by the Chinese people. Tanggu is an important base for Xiao Letian's territory second only to Ryukyu. The people here are more open-minded, and Xiao Letian's thoughts have penetrated more thoroughly.

However, Xiao Letian could fool others but could not fool his brother-in-law. He was also the first comrade-in-arms he met during time travel, Master Qing San.

In just a few years, Master Qing San, who was full of energy on the mountain road in Yixian County, has grown much older. The long black and shiny braids are actually mixed with a few gorgeous hairs, and the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes have increased, and a hint of fatigue and confusion appear in his eyes.

After taking a boat from Jiangnan to Tanggu, it was less than two days after getting off the boat. The shocking news of the Far East came. Hunchun, with the secret order of Emperor Tongzhi, launched a mutiny in Heilongjiang, and Sonatpuxin controlled the military and political power of the two provinces.

The volunteer army of Xiang Shaolong defeated the Cossack reinforcements and swept away the last trace of Tsarist Russia's military power in this territory. The news came to Tanggu and the whole city was in an uproar. The excited Chinese people walked onto the street with candles in their hands, gathering into a river of lights in the dark.

Fireworks rose above the sea, and the colorful fireworks rayed in the sky, and they could be seen clearly within a radius of dozens of miles.

The people's hearts in this land have gone further and further away from the Qing Dynasty. Ninety percent of the people on the streets have no braids. Everyone is shouting long live the Prime Minister and long live the Chinese people!

At that moment, Master Qing San saw with his own eyes that the Tongzhi Yamen established by the Qing Dynasty in Tanggu City was as dim as a haunted house. The Tongzhi Zhou Mingkui of Tanggu was probably the most embarrassing official in the Qing Dynasty. His daily job was to sit in the Yamen and do nothing. Every month, the Special Administrative Region would allocate him a sum of silver, but he left part to the yamen runners as salary, while the other part was handed over to the Qing Dynasty treasury.

That was simply a humiliation. In the eyes of the Special Administrative Region, the official yamen of the Qing Dynasty had become the residence of a group of beggars.

But the situation is stronger than others, who dares to say no? This place is nominally the land of the Qing Dynasty, and its sovereignty is still in the hands of the court, but the management rights have long been completely lost. What's even more terrifying is that people's hearts have been lost.

Master Qing San could not understand the world at the moment, and he couldn't understand the changes of his brother Xiao Letian. Before the Chinese Code was released, Master San could have some tricks from Xiao Letian. At worst, he could be the king of Ryukyu and then Fusang, and Nanyang to grab some territory. Xiao Letian was the king, and he swallowed up his appetite in the Qing Dynasty.

In fact, at that time, Master Qing San and many Manchus were also mentally prepared. Xiao Letian, Cao **, forced King Shangtai to step down and become the king himself.

Then another part of Daming from Fusang bowed to him and broke away from the shogunate control. Many small countries including Nanyang were also conquered by Xiao Letian.

Maybe in the end, Xiao Letian will be strong and will break away from the vassal system of the Qing Dynasty. If he is independent, he may be able to be called emperor or something... These mental preparations have been done by the court, and they know that Xiao Letian can do these things in the end.

But as long as Xiao Letian is not involved in the Qing Dynasty, or if he is less involved in the special zone... We have tolerated him as the emperor, who can't defeat him without warships on the Qing Dynasty? Of course, the army can't defeat others.

It is precisely based on this grand strategy that the court was extremely disgusted and hated Xiao Letian and wanted to cut him into pieces. However, in terms of strategy, Xiao Letian is not a great enemy of life and death, and his threat rank is even behind Zeng Guofan.

And everything has undergone a huge change since the promulgation of the Chinese Code!

First of all, they couldn't understand what the Chinese code was going to do? They said that gentlemen had established constitutions, but no monarch appeared, and the United States system, but they still retained titles such as nobles and princes.

The Qing Dynasty could not understand such a messy porridge. As the deputy minister of the Zongli Yamen, Qing Sanye inspected Jiangnan and Ryukyu, and actually had the task of carefully studying the Chinese system.

Another thing that scared them was the sudden rise of the Volunteer Army. Although the Far East had been ceded to Tsarist Russia, the sudden appearance of the Volunteer Army directly overturned the court's previous judgment.

Xiao Letian did not give up the mainland and operate the island at all. He was actually looking for opportunities to infiltrate the power into the mainland. In this war, Xiao Letian directly controlled millions of square kilometers of land in the Far East.

This strategic change suddenly made the entire Manren group at a loss, especially Qing Sanye, the innovative man among Manren, who can even feel Xiao Letian's aggressive offensive.

The brotherly love has already cracked. The Tanggu Special Zone is no longer the place of hope in the Qing Dynasty in his past. In his eyes, Tanggu is the springboard for Xiao Letian to use his conspiracy.

"Xiao Letian! Xiao Letian...you are playing with fire! Do you really want to be enemies with me? Don't forget that you are also our son-in-law!"

"Let's go back, as long as you can turn back, how could the court treat you badly? As long as you are loyal to protecting the Qing Dynasty, it is not difficult to grant you an iron-hat king! If you have to be that bad prime minister, you are really sick..."
