If Xiao Letian was there, he would definitely applaud Weng Tonghe. Although the ancient Chinese were tempted by technology, they attached great importance to strategy. This seemed to be a common problem among literati and liked to give advice on paper.

However, this kind of guidance is not a derogatory term. In ancient times, there were no real great scholars who did not understand military tactics. For example, in modern times, Chiang Kai-shek, including Sun Yat-sen, who was a little farther away, and others had never attended a military academy, but their grasp of the overall strategic situation was far better than that of ordinary people.

There is no way, this is the secret skill of Chinese literati. People who are familiar with history books naturally have different views on the overall situation than ordinary people. Weng Tonghe's truth was inexplicable in the hearts of literati at this time. There was silence in the East Warehouse, and no one could say anything to refute.

Later, Fu Qing once retelled the court meeting at Dongnuan Pavilion to Xiao Letian. At that time, Xiao Letian shook his head, "You cannot refute Weng Tonghe's truth. No one in the Qing Dynasty could refute his words. Updated as soon as possible."

Xiao Letian knew that in the thinking of both sides of the debate, he simply ignored one of the most important indicators, that is, the power brought by technological progress. Strategic depth is very useful, and it was very useful until World War II, but his use has become smaller and smaller.

During the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895, the Japanese army was unable to fight before they rushed to Jinzhou in the north. Except for the food that could be raised on the spot, all other supplies could no longer be delivered. In addition, the south was not out of Shandong and was wandering around the Jiaodong Peninsula, and the supply capacity of the southern corps had been exhausted.

During the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895, it was better to say that Beijing was scared and surrendered than to be defeated. Because with Japan's national strength at that time, it could not support the corps to join the army under the city of Beijing.

This is the benefit of the depth of the grand strategy. It can drag the enemy to death without fighting and supply. However, with the deepening of the Second Industrial Revolution and the emergence of various new technologies, electrification and internal combustion engines finally changed the world. By the time of the eight-year War of Resistance Against Japan, Japan could already build a continental bridge in the hinterland of China.

This is the change brought about by the leap of technology. Weng Tonghe’s so-called truth is still correct within three to four years, but what about ten or twenty years later? This wrong idea will surely bring the Chinese nation to an abyss that will never be restored.

Unfortunately, there was only one Xiao Letian in the Qing Dynasty, but unfortunately, Xiao Letian is now without power and power, just a two-divine devil.

The court meeting of Dongnuan Pavilion ended without any results in Weng Tonghe's debate, but no one regretted it. The Qing Dynasty was like this, and there was no result if it didn't make a quarrel for a year or two. Today, Yi? He threw this memorial and didn't think he could get any response immediately. It was just throwing it out to try the attitudes of all parties.

At 9:30 am on the foreign hour, the little court will sever. Weng Tonghe said goodbye to the emperor and the empress dowager with a solemn look on his face and left the Forbidden City. When he met the housekeeper waiting for him outside the Meridian Gate, he immediately got the latest news from Xiao Letian.

"Master, that guy Xiang Shaolong finally failed. Xiao Letian's gangster figures fought fiercely in Daqingshan and rescued him overnight..." The butler said angrily.

Weng Tong and the final mastermind behind the assassination of Xiao Letian still had no change in their faces, just sat in the sedan chair without saying a word. The first update was made. When the sedan chair carried by the four people began to move forward, the housekeeper held the bar and whispered through the curtains, "Master, do you need to let the Hanlins learn from this book, and you will be punished for the crime of privately raising bandits and plotting against the crime..."

"No. The House Office has already concluded the case of bandits in Yi County. If you flip through this matter, you will have a complete fall in love with the House Office, which will not benefit us..." Weng Tonghe denied the housekeeper at that time.

"Let's leave Xiao Letian's affairs first. What a great opportunity. What a pity... As for Xiang Shaolong is so incompetent, he is not worthy of our care. You can arrange it..."

Through today's court meeting, Weng Tonghe had clearly felt the royal family's importance to Xiao Letian. Assassination can only be done once, and if you do too much, it would be stupid. More and faster chapters are invited. Originally, with his idea, the famous Beilong in the Green Forest took action and killed Xiao Letian directly with lightning speed. Anyway, Xiao Letian is just a small character who has just emerged, and it will not cause many controversy if he dies.

As for the Americans, go to hell, they protest at most, and they really start a war against a religious citizen and the Qing Dynasty? Where are there many criminal cases in the world?

Although the assassination trick is rough and a bit inexperienced, it is the most effective against such foreigners. Weng Tonghe is too clear about Xiao Letian's routine. He is not an official and only carries books outside the officialdom to support his hopes. Moreover, with his relationship with foreigners and even Shanxi merchants, this guy's foreign company will definitely make a lot of money. Updated as soon as possible

With reputation, money, and even writing books, this kind of person is definitely the enemy of the obvious and must be eliminated in the bud. Unfortunately, it is hateful, and it is ruined by the bastard Xiang Shaolong.

Just as Weng Tonghe returned home to call his disciples and old officials to have a secret talk, the two sisters-in-law in the warm-up hall of Yangxin Hall were discussing today's court meeting with his brother-in-law.

"I didn't expect that Shuping actually reacted so strongly. The Qingliu group was so afraid of this plan?" Ci'an was silent for a whole morning and only spoke now.

"It's not this plan. What Qingliu people are afraid of is Xiao Letian. Now it seems that they have regarded Xiao Letian as the leader of Western learning that can confront Xianxue, otherwise Shuping wouldn't have taken action himself!" Cixi slid gently and said quietly. Please come more and faster chapters.

Yi? After thinking about it, he suddenly spoke, "Can it be... Could it be that the mastermind behind the kidnapping case of Xiao Letian this time?" Before he could finish his words, the empress dowagers of the East and West both shook their heads gently.

Ci'an said coldly, "You don't need to check this kind of thing. Just find the person who hates Xiao Letian the most..." As he was speaking, a figure suddenly came in from outside the hall. When he looked closely, he saw an old eunuch. What's strange is that the white-haired eunuch walked in without reporting, and none of the people in the hall got angry.

"I just finished inquiring about the news. Xiao Letian is safe and sound now. He has been rescued by his subordinates. And the one who took action last night was the Eagle under Jiushuai. Xiao Letian did not return to Beijing but went south, and he was missing his whereabouts..." After saying that, the old eunuch stood sideways, lowering his head and silent.

"Zeng Guoquan? He actually took action too..." Yi? He couldn't believe his ears at that time.

"Hmph! Didn't you still see that there is something good about this special zone and want to rob it? These two brothers are simply without a king or a father..." Cixi was so angry that she was about to bite her teeth.

The secret meeting in the Donghun Pavilion lasted until lunch, and it was not over until the ignorant little Emperor Tongzhi shouted that he was hungry. Although several Qing royal leaders did not come up with any good opportunities, they knew that those who could be hated by Qingliu and valued by the leaders of the Hunan Army were definitely rare talents.

The balance of the Qing Dynasty royal family actually tilted towards Xiao Letian at that moment. This may be the incredible benefit brought by Xiao Letian's assassination.

The case of the overseas lonely guest Xiao Letian being kidnapped was ten hours from the beginning to the final rescue, which seemed to be less than twenty hours. However, this incident had a profound impact on Xiao Letian and even the Qing Dynasty.

First of all, this robbery brought Xiao Letian's reputation to a higher level. Various bizarre versions appeared in Beijing. The most exaggerated thing is that people actually made up the unsolved case of Prince Zhu San in the late Ming Dynasty. It is said that Xiao Letian, the overseas guest, is a descendant of Prince Zhu San, and is going to subvert the Qing Dynasty with Western learning.

This rumor is really outrageous, so outrageous that even the court was so happy. Hundreds of years have passed, and Prince Zhu San has long become a legend, and only a fool takes this kind of thing seriously. However, one thing is certain that Xiao Letian's fame has definitely increased.

Secondly, this kidnapping case made Xiao Letian fully understand what kind of society he was in. In the whirlpool of the late Qing Dynasty, individuals were very weak, and everyone had to form a clique because only by joining together to become a force can they have the ability to protect themselves.

After Xianfeng, there was the Hunan Army, and during the Guangxu period, there was the Beiyang. Officials of the Qing Dynasty, especially the Han officials, had always used their actions to express their distrust of the center.

Again, this kidnapping case, which was less than a day, has intensified the rift between the various forces of the Qing Dynasty. If the break between the Hunan Army and the imperial court in history began during the 9th year of Tongzhi, then Xiao Letian advanced the rift four years ago. He even forced Qingliu Oos out, making the conflict between the three forces in the late Qing Dynasty more superficial.

No wonder the old men of the Eight Banners in later generations called Xiao Letian the name "Shit Stir-stirring Stir-stirring Stir-stirring Stir-stirring Stir-stirring Stir-stirring Stir-stirring Stir-stirring Stir-stirring Stir-stirring Stir-stirring Stir-stirring Stir-stirring Stir-stirring Stir-stirring Stir-stirring Stir-stirring Stir-stirring Stir-stirring Stir-stirring Stir-stirring Stir-stirring Stir-stirring Stir-stirring Stir-stirring Stir-stirring Stir-stirring Stir-stirring Stir-stirring Stir-stirring Stir-stirring Stir-stirring Stir-stirring Stir-stirring Stir-stirring Stir-stirring Stir-stirring Stir-stirring Stir-stirring Stir-stirring Stir-stirring Stir-stirring Stir-stirring Stir-stirring Stir-stirring Stir-stirring Stir-stirring Stir-stirring Stir-stirring Stir-stirring Stir-stirring Stir-stirring Stir-stirring Stir-stirring Stir-stirring Stir-stirring Stir-stirring Stir-stirring Stir-stirring Stir-stirring Stir-stirring Stir-stirring Stir-stirring Stir-stirring Stir-stirring Stir-stirring Stir-stirring Stir-stirring Stir-stirring Stir-stirring Stir-stirring Stir-stirring Stir-stirring Stir-stirring Stir-stirring Stir-stirring Stir-stirring Stir-stirring Stir-stirring Stir-stirring Stir-stir

However, Xiao Letian has no time to analyze these useful and useless things now. He is rushing to Taibaiding, Yi County. A group of fierce bandits are protecting him. A team of more than 100 people is rampant on the pipeline, but no local official dares to take charge.

"Who dares to ride a horse on the pipe? Come down and ask me to check..." Before the few yamen runners who were owed to the mouth continued to scold, they immediately followed by two whips.

"I think who dares to stop Xiao Letian's team? Why are you staring at me? You are not convinced? I want to fight a lawsuit and accompany you to Shuntian Mansion and Zongli Yamen. I want to fight a martial arts master and I have more than 100 servants under my command. You can choose whatever you want... Grandma, I have two eyes white and I don't know how to look at people and affairs..." Xiao Letian cursed and then beat Ma Yanglong and left.

The so-called servant of No. 100, riding a tall horse and rolling up a dragon on the pipe. None of the local officials dared to stop him.

This is the benefit of fame. Even if this matter is in the Golden Palace, the court will not stand up for a few minor officials. On the contrary, the court will be very pleased to see a great master of Western learning with shortcomings, because as long as you have shortcomings, you can control it. I guess Cixi and Yi? These people are looking forward to Xiao Letian being greedy for money, lust, and even bullying the market.

Xiao Letian looked at the little officials who were timid when they heard his name and said sadly, "This is the Qing Dynasty. Everyone is flattering and arrogant. If I don't show my power, you really think I am a sick cat..."
