Li Hongzhang's sedan chair was marching on the dark streets. Along the way, he met two groups of patrol soldiers who were blindly guarding the city, and they were all retreated by his subordinates!

These soldiers from the nine gates of the capital were all humans. They were so clear about the news from all sides. Li Hongzhang returned to Beijing this morning and they knew the news as soon as possible.

When I saw that it was a first-class official walking in the night, I dared not stop him and gave way to salute him!

Li Hongzhang was silent in the sedan chair and ignored these small characters!

"Ghost Six, Japanese Six! I have helped you solve such a big problem. You owe me a great favor! Haha, it's great to have foreign devils involved, otherwise it would be difficult for us Han people to get power!"

"In the past two hundred years of the Qing Dynasty, the military power of our Han people has been suppressed so badly. It's time for two hundred years that we should turn over!"

"The master is right. The situation of three-legged tyranny is the safest. If the Han people want to rise, they must actively accept the power of foreigners!"

"Hong Xiuquan and others don't understand this principle, so they lost too badly! We can't follow the old path!"

The situation of two tigers fighting is the most terrifying, and the situation of three tigers playing is interesting!

In the late Qing Dynasty, many people shouted to fight against foreign countries and expel foreign devils from China, but in that era, many Han elite politicians did not think so.

Maybe their mouths were shouting fiercely, but in actual actions, they were completely different!

In the final analysis, it is because the centralization of the Qing Dynasty, especially the military centralization, has been too powerful. If the Han people do not have military power, then everything is nonsense!

Without a gun, you just want to turn over without being oppressed by shouting with your mouth? That's a dream!

Zeng Guofan and Xiao Letian understood the overall situation very well. In fact, how did the Han warlords emerge? Is it really because of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom movement?

Yes! Not really!

Indeed, because the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom movement caught the Eight Banners off guard, the corrupt and declining Qing army could only rely on the military armed forces of the Han people!

But that was just the beginning of the war. Later, people were learning new military systems. They also bought foreign guns and cannons and even bought more. They also trained new types of armed forces and because they mastered the imperial court, they trained more!

If you follow the traditional Chinese script, after the hair grows, it will definitely be the time to kill the dog!

The Manchus absolutely did not allow Han warlords to become bigger. Once the rebellion was quelled, they would destroy the Han armed forces as soon as possible, just like pacifying the Three Feudalists, absolutely without mercy and absolutely eradicate the roots!

But it's just another civil war, they can definitely do it!

But the times have changed, and today is different from the past! The late Qing Dynasty was not the early Qing Dynasty, and Zeng Guofan and others had already seen a huge force of checks and balances that could be borrowed!

That is the power of foreigners!

If the Qing Dynasty had not opened its country, then after Changmao was pacified, it would be a seizure of power between Manchu and Han, and it would even turn into a civil war!

But at this moment, the national gates have been opened, and the foreign power has penetrated in, and the strong ships and powerful cannons have made everyone feel heartbroken!

The two countries’ competition for hegemony has become the Romance of the Three Kingdoms!

This has a taste. The alliance will never let one side dominate. The Manchus will join forces with foreign devils, and the Han warlords will do so!

Europeans also understand the principle of betting left and right. The chess game has been disturbed. This is the real power game on East Asia in this era!

Li Hongzhang sighed and whispered in the sedan chair, "Master and Xiao Letian are still higher than me! They use the world as the chessboard and cloth, but what about me? I am still sinking in the Qing Dynasty officialdom!"

"I still have to do such a filthy job that threatens and tempts? Damn...it's boring..."

Bengbang, Li Hongzhang kicked the bottom of the sedan chair with his foot, "Turn around! I heard that there is a private dish in the inner city, and it was opened by a woman named Sai Shishi?"

"I'll go there to drink tonight... I won't go back if I'm drunk!"

Originally, the courtyard where Li Hongzhang rented was in Nancheng, but when he said he wanted to go to the half-closed door of Sai Shishi, the sedan chairwoman turned around and walked north!

When passing by Taiji Factory again, Li Hongzhang subconsciously glanced at the direction of Gordon's house, "This Gordon won't have just these moves, right? Why do I always feel cold and grim? This kid definitely has a second move!"

"Forget it, it doesn't matter to me if you have a trick. Let them go with the Japanese Liudou! I'll take a neutral look at the situation first... Damn, I've been playing with women a lot during this period!"

Sai Shishi has become the most popular socialite in the capital, not only because she escaped most of China's feat, but also because the fifth master Yi Qiong and Cheng Beile both fought for her!

People in Sijiu City like to make money and stumble on black. For a time, the small courtyard of Saishishi became a treasure land that officials in the capital must visit!

I made a drink appointment and the posts for the show were scheduled for three months. On weekdays, the private dishes of 50 taels per table were now fried to 200 taels!

Two hundred taels of silver is enough for an ordinary family of three to three years, but in the end, it is just a table of eighteen dishes for Sai Shishi!

And you can only let Sai Shishi come and have a cup of tea with you. You can't even drink wine with you, let alone sing music or spend the night!

Sai Shishi is now the most popular in the capital!

But even such a celebrity, even if he really meets a warlord like Li Hongzhang, he would not dare to be at all sluggish. When the gatekeeper heard that it was the commander of the Huai Army, he was so scared that he urinated and sent a letter to him.

After a while, Sai Shishi, who had a rosy face, greeted him in person!

There were four tables in Sai Shishi's courtyard today, two tables in the east and west wing rooms and the main hall. Those who came to the capital were well-known high-ranking officials.

There is no one below the fourth rank, and the merchants who accompany the drinks are worth millions!

The four tables of guests are as good as wearing butterflies. They come to the east wing to celebrate the glass of wine, and then go to the west wing to play a piano. The two tables in the main hall have to be made with big smoke bubbles!

The Sai Shishi was trained by Jasmine's mother. She didn't show any fatigue when she dragged on the four, but she was at ease!

In the middle of the night, I only received a reward of more than 1,000 yuan. It seems that I can earn 2,000 silver dollars if I don’t have to sleep with her tonight!

Sai Shishi's small notebook is written one by one. Among the four tables, there are those who are talking about official business, some sell official titles, and some spend money to find the Ministry of Justice to slaughter white ducks and scapegoats!

It’s all shameful and slanderous business. Sai Shishi is just a broker. These two thousand taels are actually not money for wine, but that’s the broker’s commission!

"Bah... I asked me to build a bridge to do business, but I still want to sleep with me when I look back? You deserve it too..."

Just as she was complaining in her heart, the door suddenly ran in and came to Sai Shishi's ear and whispered, "Girl! Li Hongzhang of the Huai Army is here, and he is going to ask the girl to drink!"
Chapter completed!
