The weather is getting colder and colder. The rippling sea river in the past has officially frozen, and the canal transportation has stopped. Not only canal transportation, but also sea transportation is now in a downturn. Chinese merchants are now going to make a record of the New Year, and Western sea merchants will not choose to come to the cold Bohai Bay at this time. Tanggu City has finally become quiet.

Everyone can rest, but Xiao Letian cannot. He is riding a horse with Qing Sanye, Mike, Matthew and others in the wilderness. The construction of the Industrial Special Zone will begin in the spring. It is impossible to do without a field investigation.

"The first thing we need to do in the Industrial Special Zone is steel. We have sea transportation and canal transportation here. There are coal mines and iron ore in Kailuan to the north, which is enough for us to do. Anyway, the Carnegie family started out with the steel industry. It should not be difficult for me to build a small-scale iron plant..."

"When we have steel, we will build machining factories and arsenals. The future world arms trade will be the most profitable. As long as we can ensure quality and output, you can sell as much as you produce..."

Xiao Letian's face was blown red by the cold wind, but the fire in his heart was getting stronger and stronger. It was such an exciting event to be able to witness the rise of China's heavy industrial base in 1865.

Xiao Letian had already planned that he would build an extremely huge fortress in the Tanggu Industrial Special Zone, and the first stronghold of his new army would be chosen here. At that time, the new army would be shuttled through the high walls, thick barbed wire, and cross-border traffic canals. The entire special zone would be a military camp.

No matter whether he came to power in the Qing Dynasty or had his head shaved, no matter what republican democracy or constitutional monarchy, he had to be careful to deal with my foreign guns and cannons and elites of all wars. As long as he had money and soldiers, he could control the historical trend of China. No matter what major events happened, Xiao Letian had the right to speak.

Master Long looked at Xiao Letian's excited look and sighed, but decided to be a counselor. A scoop of cold water poured over, "Sir, Beijing City is going to be in chaos today. Why are you like a person who is fine? Otherwise, Huaiyuan will send some more people..."

Xiao Letian gave him a blank look, "When did I disappoint you? Since I chose to follow me, I must absolutely believe me. I still want to stump me in this little wind and Xiaolang? Don't say that I look down on them, they will have to cry to death in less than three days..."

Master Qing San quickly rode his horse over and asked, "What does it mean? What happened in Beijing?"

"Haha, if the plan has not changed, the capital now should be full of curses. Countless scholars and scholars gathered together, first attacking Prince Gong's Mansion and then putting pressure on the court to demand my life. I seemed to have heard the tide of tide, and the curses were like tide..."

Fu Qing said awkwardly, "Brother, just be so embarrassed. Don't fight with these scholars. It's nothing to lower your head a little..."

"Breaking nonsense! Is it that I want to fight with them? They keep rushing to bully me, okay? They spread rumors and slander and splashed dirty water, and then hired murderers to assassinate the local gentry and class to become enemies with me. How can you give in? If they want to kill me, I will defend myself?"

"What do you want to do? You can't kill people again, right? In the past, you had a reason to defend yourself, but now they are just cursing, so are you still holding a knife?"

Xiao Letian's lips curled up, "Oh! I understand. Third Master doesn't believe that I can calm this mess. Do you think I can only use violence? Tsk, this time I will open your eyes. Scholars can still play with the soft knife... Let's go, let's go home, I will let you see a Western product!"

Just when Xiao Letian took the third master home and opened his eyes, Chun Shisanniang in the capital took action.

"According to last night's plan, all the prison halls were dispatched to let these scholars know how powerful we are! Let the pigeons release..." With an order, dozens of pigeons hidden in the house suddenly released dozens of pigeons and flew to their respective targets with secret instructions.

The sleuths disguised as young men from the Five Elements and Eight Works ran wildly on the streets and alleys. Secret strongholds began to act, and Xiao Letian's forces finally began to fight back.

Almost all the crossroads in Beijing were sneaky, and they started to paint the wall with a brush and a paste bucket. When they turned around, they saw that there was no one on the left and right. The big-character poster sandwiched under the nest was pasted onto the wall.

The black characters on the white background are a big word of injustice at the beginning. You can see clearly from a distance. In a short while, some people discovered this sudden big-character poster and soon surrounded a lot of people.

"Oh my God? This...this is too outrageous..."

The occupants were elusive on the streets of the alleys, and thousands of big-character posters were posted in an instant. This was not the end. Just as the long dragons of protest were shouting, a master of light skills flew to the roof, and with a raised hand in the courtyard wall, a large number of leaflets were flying in the wind.

"The people of Sijiu City are all taking a look. Don't let these scammers coax them, listen to Xiao Letian's injustice!"

Flyers like snowflakes were flying in the sky, and these scholars forgot to shout slogans, and a flyer was slapped on his face with a snap.

He pulled off the flyer and looked closely. The steward stared at him, and his eyes were bigger than the bronze bell. "Shameless, this is so shameless. Xiao Letian actually turned his back..."

The leaflet is printed very simple, and the words on it are vague and have no beauty at all, but they can definitely let you see clearly. Moreover, the words are extremely simple and childish, and it is really like an old farmer who has never read a book shouting for justice.

"Xiao Letian's Seven Questions? What is this..."

That's right, the leaflets are full of Xiao Letian's questions about the court and the school, and the artillery fire is open.

"The first question: How could Xiao Letian be the one who was forced to assassinate the court? Sun Sanhu secretly dispatched troops to siege LeTian Foreign Business with the imperial court's secret order and waist card. Let me ask where is the national law?"

"The second question: Is the Tongzhi Yamen the yamen of the court? Is the Tongzhi Zhou Mingkui appointed by the court? If so, why did Sun Sanhu's dead soldiers carry dozens of houses collapse, and more than 300 dead and injured yamen runners. They are also rebellious?"

"The third question: Since ancient times, the disaster has not been enough for my wife and children. Even if I should be killed, I will not be able to kill all my family. Even if I reach this point, the court will still have to be cleared. Why did Jiao Si and Sun Sanhu poison my family's family? My concubine's life is in danger, and even if it is cured, it will not be able to give birth. Why did the court want to exonerate the descendants of my Xiao family?"

"The fourth question: The court said that I was privately storing an army? Is Lotte Yang accused the richest man in Tanggu, and he spent more than ten million silver dollars a year. Is there a large number of guards with 200 people? What law in the court prohibits foreign companies from maintaining and guarding?"

"Fifth question: Sun Sanhu and his soldiers have confessed. In addition to dealing with me, his purpose of mobilizing the army is to take advantage of the chaos to rob wealth. May I ask the court, who issued the order to loot the Tanggu business district? Where did a small Sun Sanhu get the courage?"

"Question 6: The brazen night attack by the Green Camp soldiers has made all foreigners in the port scare. Now the foreign soldiers have landed, the armed sailors have begun to block the streets, and even foreigners have called for the control of the security power of Tanggu Port. Now, it is Xiao Letian who is working hard, so the foreigners have not made the situation worse. May I ask the court, should I, Xiao Letian, still be in charge of the future?"

"Question 7: People in the court want to steal my property, want my life, and even poison my family, trying to kill me. After doing all this, they dared to talk nonsense about me saying that I, Xiao Letian, want to rebel? And I, Xiao Letian, rebel with a guard of two hundred people! I, Xiao Letian, asked the people of the Qing Dynasty, where is the axiom and where is the morality?"

Xiao Letian's seven questions poured out all the grievances in his heart, and the lines were full of grievances and injustice, and all the viewers were dumbfounded.

"Hahaha, Xiao Letian is so miserable that he is already afraid of us. What's the use of such grievances and shouting like a child? Classmates, the same year, Xiao Letian finally admits his defeat..."

After all, this group of scholars just catch a toad that snatches peeing, bullying experts who are afraid of being strong. In fact, they are most afraid of Xiao Letian's move. If those soldiers use their tricks to kill a few of them in the dark, they will be really afraid of death.

But now Xiao Letian chose to debate with scholars. This is the traditional position of scholars for thousands of years. This group of people never lose a lawsuit. They are the newspapers, television and the Internet of the Qing Dynasty. Their throats control the eyes and ears of the people. They say that the coal balls are white and that is white.

What does Confucian scholars control China for thousands of years rely on? They rely on control of public opinion and infiltration of people's hearts. From high-ranking officials of the court to local gentry, and even scholars and children, they formed an extremely huge public opinion network. These huge networks woven together rely on teacher-student relationships, classmates, and relationships in the same year can instantly screen out remarks that are beneficial to themselves and instill in every citizen.

They said that whoever is a wise monarch is a wise monarch, and they said that whoever is a wise official is a wise official. In the late Qing Dynasty when compulsory education was not popular, they were the core force that controlled the hearts of the people.

Now Xiao Letian dares to hand out flyers? He actually chose to reason with these scholars. This is how he really attacked others with his own shortcomings. All scholars on the street were excited and even the slogans of demonstrations became louder.

At this time, none of the Confucian scholars could understand Xiao Letian’s response, and everything was analyzed with the traditional old eyes.

Time passed minute by minute, and the slogans of the students were still resounding throughout the sky, and the flyers flying like snowflakes in the sky were not in a position to stop. There were figures appearing on the ridge of the roof, and everyone knew that they were Xiao Letian's subordinates, but none of the scholars and soldiers who maintained order cared about it.

After all, they just threw some paper pieces, which was a crime of polluting the environment. It was all in chaos, and no one was too lazy to compete with them.

But never expected that the change would happen quietly. There were many people who read literate in the capital. People picked up flyers and muttered to each other while watching.

"Teacher, take a look. This is a flyer thrown by Xiao Letian. The seven major questions are almost the same as the seven majors when they founded. Do you think it is true?"

"Tsk tsk, it's hard to say. Now I just don't know if Xiao Letian has any evidence. If there is really evidence, it's really wrong for the court. It's going to be the subordinate of the Juexiao family. This is a bit too poisonous..."

"Look, look again. The water here is too deep. My husband said he was right and said he was right. We were all stupid and listened to the wind and rain. I have seen through it. We really can't get involved in this matter..."

There are always some people in the crowd who are good at thinking. They are not prone to falling into fanaticism. Even if they are temporarily trapped, they will quickly jump out and analyze the situation at any time. It is this group of people who discovered the good things about Xiao Letian's move.
