Hidden Dragon in Qing Dynasty

Xiang Ying was not opposed to his master's stronghold plan. In his heart, he was still very impressed with the Tanggu District, the one who resided in Bohai Bay. He had now become the number one industrial center in Asia, known as the Eastern Region's Ruhr.

With the 20 years of production of steel from Great Qing that was produced in a year, all sorts of cheap machinery products had almost killed North China's craftsmen.

Taking the simplest example, the iron nail factory that the Qing San Ye had invested in already had a production capacity of one-fourth of the total sales of the Great Qing.

The quality and cheapness of the products started to be dumped in the Great Qing. Because they were cheaper than the foreign goods, they were cheaper than the industrial goods that were sold by sea and the quality was much better than those that were handmade.

As a result, the production and distribution of Industrial Zones were very good. Everyday, Tanggu's inn was filled with all the distributors from all over the provinces, and in order to obtain more goods, they almost became a dog's head.

In economic terms, the Tanggu District had already achieved great success, and in military terms, Xiang Ying was full of praise for all of his achievements.

Right now, the scope of the Special Zone had already extended to the north, extending all the way to Kaiping and Gusu. There, the coal mines would become the most surging power of the Industrial Zones.

Such a large area of the Special Administrative Region was comparable to a large county, but such a large area was unambiguous in terms of military defense.

The densely packed tree walls had already turned into a forest, and there was a barbed-wire fence separating the trees from the regular humans. It was impossible for them to climb over, and outside the tree wall, there was even a deep river filled with water.

Within the tree wall, there were tall towers that were erected every two kilometers. These gray and white concrete bunkers were vigilantly watching every single movement outside. No matter what happened outside, no one would be able to sneak in.

All the waterways and mountain passes were heavily guarded, the defensive system was comparable to the Mann River's defensive lines during the first battle, let alone the soldiers of the Great Qing, it would be difficult for even a rabbit to rush through them.

The Northern Industrial Zones had succeeded in both the economic and military aspects, so there was no need to talk about the people's hearts. Just by looking at the refugees gathered in the West Water Gate every day, it was clear that the Special Zone had already become a paradise for them.

Time could prove everything. As long as the Chinese kept fighting steadily, the special zones would eventually turn into gold mines for the Chinese. Whether it was economic, military, or public competition, they would all be affected.

Such a perfect plan should not be questioned, but it was a pity that Xiang Ying was one. He gave his opinion on the stronghold's plan.

In the morning wind, Xiao Letian's guards felt the weird atmosphere. They didn't need the leader's order to expand the perimeter of the ship and stood at the corners of the deck and the entrance to the cabin, quietly stopping others from approaching the leader.

The entire front deck became a private place for Xiao Letian and Xiao Letian to talk.

"Master …" I don't question your plan, I just don't think it's complete... One last crucial step is missing, and that is how to overthrow the Qing Dynasty! "

"No, there are no detailed steps. The plan stopped at the moment of the competition for the hearts of the people. Are we just going to fight for the hearts of the people and not go through any real changes?"

"Conquering the hearts of the people forever without considering overthrowing this damned dynasty? The stronghold plan is a necessary process for us Chinese to accumulate strength, but there will be a day when we become strong enough to take action! "

"Even if it's a rainy day, we still have to carry out a plan! How should we overthrow this Qing Dynasty, and when and how! "You have to have a plan …"

Xiang Ying gritted his teeth and said harshly: "I've already made it clear! I'm not afraid of you getting angry, master. I know that you never wanted to start a civil war in the Central Plains from the very beginning. You always hope to use peaceful means to change China's dynasty! "

"But this is not realistic! Really unrealistic... Those undead do not bleed, those vampires will not step down by themselves! "

"Here, I suggest! Revise the stronghold's plan to include the ultimate mission of defeating the Qing Dynasty. At the very least, time should be written in … "

"Enough! Are you teaching me how to govern? " Xiao Letian was suddenly furious.

Xiang Ying's face instantly turned from blood-red to pale white. "I don't dare! All of what I have is taught to me by Master, how could I dare to offend you! "

Xiao Letian's chest rose intensely, he truly could not do anything about this stubborn child. Although the old saying was that the stubborn child would not lose, if the stubborn child was angered to the point that people could not help but get angry, that would be truly infuriating.

However, Xiao Letian was even more clear that what Xiang Ying was saying was not his own idea. This was actually the true intention of a large group of people within the Chinese clan.

There were countless haters of the Qing Dynasty in the Chinese clan, and there were only a handful who were able to jump out of the grudges like Xiao Letian and look at things from a god's perspective.

This was also a force that couldn't be suppressed just by suppressing it!

Xiao Letian calmed his emotions, and after half a minute, he finally opened his mouth and said: "The child is here, looks like I won't reveal my secret to you, are you going to keep bothering me forever?"

"Alright, I can tell you this. I already had a plan to overthrow the Qing Dynasty a long time ago, here it is …" With that, Xiao Letian tapped her head with her finger.

"My child, I have already said that our goal is to overthrow the Qing Dynasty and not to shatter the pots in Zhonghua's home, especially the four huge territories of Mongolia, Xinjiang, Tibet, and the border regions. We must eat them all!"

"This is a very large project, it's not that simple! Why didn't I make a plan? Because there are two roadblock tigers that have yet to be dealt with! "

"What kind of obstructing tiger?" Xiang Ying asked nervously.

"The first is inside the Qing Dynasty. Right now, there are still a few tough bones among them, if we really use military means to force them, these tough bones will most probably die together with you!"

"We have to make them hand over their power on their own. We have to make them write an edict to abdicate the throne with legal effects. Only by doing so can we have the legal rights to inherit these four pieces of land!"

"I've already asked this question many times, I don't want to repeat it to you, I'm only telling you now is not the time, the last few elite warriors of Manchu have not been used up, we still have to wait for a chance!"

"Second enemy... The English! "

Xiao Letian swept his eyes across the British warships on the sea and coldly said, "Britain! UK... This is a huge mountain that cannot be avoided due to our rise in power. If we do not have the strength to tie with Britain in battle, then don't dream about overthrowing the Qing Dynasty in a military battle! "

"Unrealistic, it's really unrealistic!"

Patting Xiang Ying's shoulder, Xiao Letian said sincerely and sincerely, "One of you and one of Zai Chun, these are the two most worried of all my disciples …"

"Xiang Ying, you remember, Zai Chun is not stupid. He's just young... You think he won't have his own little ruse on this trip to England? Hehe … "Maybe he'll get more support from the British than we do!"

"Britain will do everything in its power to stop the rise of the Chinese. What is the best way? Maybe it was to support the Great Qing to restrict and fight against us … Have you thought of all this? "

Xiang Ying's face changed, "Master! You mean to say that Zai Chun might sign the agreement with the United Kingdom alone behind your back? "

"Why are you carrying me on your back? He is the emperor of the Great Qing, so he has the rights to sign some agreements, how can I control it? It doesn't matter if it's pro-government or not, as long as the British recognize him as their emperor, it means that Zai Chun is already pro-government! "

"This little bastard!" Xiang Ying smashed his fist against the bulletproof steel plate on the side of the main cannon, causing blood to splatter everywhere.
