I am rich in martial arts, but choose culture to win

The monk in the temple was dumbfounded when he heard that the foreigner asked himself to burn six or six ring scars on his head.

The eminent monks in the northern celestial dynasty burned twelve ring scars, but you foreigners want to burn 36?

Are you a toad?

But there is no way, what McCann wants is foolproof effect.

So, after heart-piercing howls, a Catholic believer with Yuedai head, the number of ring scars on his head, and a cross hanging on his chest was born in Juelin Temple.

Fortunately, in this era, both Britain and France have colonies in India, and I have seen even more exotic Indian ascetics.

The French in Saigon just thought that the Earl of Canesta might have been tortured insane by the Ming people.

But at least it looks a little more normal than those Indian strange species.

As for the Indian servants in Saigon, this Earl of Canesta is not crazy, not only is he not crazy, it seems that he is a big man with practice!

This face, this appearance, more or less resembles an eminent monk like Bodhidharma, coupled with his fair skin, he is obviously a Brahmin among Brahmins!

Many Ah San soldiers saw McCann's eyes straightened, and they prostrated themselves on the ground, not daring to move.

They even take pride in kissing the land where McCann walked, thinking that it is getting close to the gods.

If you can lick a mouthful of McCann's boots, you will not rinse your mouth for three days and three nights, and you will continue to savor the aftertaste.

After all, until the 21st century, India's magic stick can still make the police chief of a state kiss his feet. Isn't the nine-fingered monk Earl Carnest enough to drive them crazy?

In the expressions of all the French, and McCann himself, the black question mark, he somehow became the unshakable spiritual leader of the Indian soldiers in the French army stationed in Vietnam.

Even the governor of Saigon discovered that those lazy, white-headed men who lacked the bravery of red-headed men actually became much more active in training and doing things after McCann came.

This is all a good thing!

Therefore, the governor of Saigon also wrote to the Napoleon III authorities, requesting that Count Canesta, who is good at fighting and has outstanding personality, stay in Saigon.

I believe that the previous failure was mainly due to Ming people's shameless sneak attack. After preparing, His Excellency Carnest will definitely be able to prove his bravery.

Another three months later, orders and letters from the French government, as well as the 32 volumes of His Majesty's newly published "Napoleon's Letters Collection", all arrived at the West Palace.

In order to cover up the failure of the Far East War and maintain his own rule, His Majesty Napoleon III actually had a tacit understanding during this period. Like His Majesty Zhu Fugui, he was engaged in cultural construction.

He encouraged the performance of plays about Napoleon, ordered the compilation and publication of "Napoleon's Letters Collection" as many as 32 volumes, and vigorously promoted the worship of Napoleon.

As the easternmost point of the empire, the Nishinomiya Governor's Mansion naturally had to learn and understand the advanced ideas of Emperor Napoleon the Great.

So His Majesty traveled thousands of miles to send them spiritual food.

But as soon as he turned his head, he was taken by the governor to stand on the table.

Compared with boring garbage literature, orders and secret letters are the key.

In the letter, the French government also believed that the reason for the failure of the French army in Japan was that they underestimated the enemy, and asked Carnest to stay in Saigon and continue to assist the Governor-General of Saigon in preparing for the encirclement and suppression of the evil Ming Empire.

At the same time, only the Governor of Saigon and the Earl of Carnest could see a shocking news in His Majesty's secret letter.

Due to the defeat in the Far East, His Majesty Napoleon III decided to learn from his uncle's personal conquest, and taught the stupid Ming people an unforgettable lesson.

Of course, the battlefield this time will not be in the Far East.

After all, the Far East is the home field of these Orientals, and it is not conducive to the use of France's invincible army strength.

Therefore, His Majesty Napoleon III decided to place the battlefield in Mexico.

As long as Mexico is dealt with, they can attack the Ming country from the land, and let them taste the power of French chicken wings.

In fact, it was Napoleon III's established plan to invade Mexico, and he was prepared to do so even without Daming.

But now that there is the variable of Daming, he has one more reason to invade Mexico.

"We went to Mexico City for nothing more than a military walk!"

In the letter, Napoleon III stated his famous Flag before attacking Prussia 4 years in advance.

And he added an extra sentence: "I'm already thinking about my next opponent."

……

The reason why Napoleon III wanted to tell the important news to the two important ministers far away in Saigon was to ask them to be prepared to take actions in the Far East to put pressure on Ming to cooperate with the empire's actions in North America.

Looking at His Majesty Napoleon III's arrogant attitude in the letter, McCann's right eyelid somehow started to twitch again.

Why is this feeling so familiar to him?

This big France, is it a pill?

Not so much, right?

But in any case, McCann felt that there was something wrong with this matter.

At present, the details of His Majesty's plan to invade Mexico are not yet available, and McCann feels that it is not appropriate to say anything more.

Let's talk about it when the details come out.

After all, Napoleon III was also Napoleon, so the French emperor should still be brave and good at fighting, right?

probably……

Chapter 333 Loyal Li Hongzhang, Unwilling to be Zuo Zongtang

Dirty——

With the sound of sirens, more than a dozen steamships flying the American flag slowly docked at the Huangpu River pier.

Of course, it's just hanging the Americana Citigroup.

These ships, from the captain to the sailors, to the trainee seamen on the deck, all have short-haired oriental faces.

Daming did not cover up the deal with the Huai army.

Hanging a Citi flag is a little bit of face for Comrade Lao Li.

After all, Li Hongzhang has just been promoted to a first-class earl, but I am a loyal child of the Qing Dynasty, how can I hook up with Ming people?Naturally, he is doing business with Citigroupers.

As for why these Citigroupers are all Chinese and speak Fujian Mandarin or Cantonese Mandarin, I have no comment.

Maybe it's because America admires my Chinese culture, so she changed her voice collectively!

Beijing is more or less aware of these official concealments.

But the country is hard!

Just a Japanese from Dongjiang Pidao has to spend millions of Liao wages every year.

Of course, the money is not spent in vain, and I am not a fool.

The imperial court has recruited brave men among the Japanese, hired instructors from the Raksha Kingdom, and ordered the famous Mongolian general Sotna to train troops at the small station, and trained the Eight Japanese Banners and the New Army of Eighteen Towns for our Qing Dynasty.

The reason why it was divided into the Japanese Eight Banners and the Eighteen Towns New Army was because Prince Sotna wrote that the Japanese were brave and good at hand-to-hand combat.

And my Mongolian athlete is unparalleled in riding and shooting, which just complements each other.

In today's world, if you want to strengthen your army, you must learn Western art of war and use Western firearms.

Therefore, let the Japanese Eight Banners form an array in the front, and our Mongolian and Manchurian athletes can use guns and cannons in the rear, and we will surely defeat the foreigners!

As for why the instructors used Raksha people, that is, Tsarist Russians, instead of French...

Isn't that cheap for Rakshasa devils!

The few elite French instructors on Phi Island had already run away after eating scallops for several months.

On the contrary, the money for one French instructor is enough to hire three Rakshasa instructors.

The territory of Luocha Kingdom is thousands of miles, ten times that of France, inside and out, the same money will have thirty times more effect.

As long as we can train the Japanese Eight Banners and the New Army of the Eighteen Towns, then my Qing Dynasty will surely be able to break out in Dongping, marry foreigners in the West, and form a good relationship with Russia in Song and Liao forever.

At that time, wouldn't the world be peaceful and the Qing Dynasty last forever?

Suotna's strategy of rejuvenating the army and strengthening the country was supported by the Cixi Qing School.

And Prince Gong's faction has completely lost power.

After all, how can the Mongolian princes be reliable for those Han people in the south?

Sautna's approach is good, but there are two small problems at hand.

One is called no one, and the other is called no money.

The so-called no one, it means that the Manchu and Mongolian races are really no one!

On the Mongolian side, the imperial court has secretly used the Huangjiao order to reduce its population for more than a hundred years. Now the effect is very good, and Mongolia is no longer the Mongolia it used to be.

The only remaining Mongolian elite, along with Seng Gelinqin, almost died with the old farmers in Jianghuai and North China.

Large-scale extraction from Mongolia is basically impossible.

As for Manchu...

Let's put it this way, as long as these Eight Banners masters are of any use, the Manchu Qing would not have allowed Yuan Shikai to train the new army in history, and the bannermen have only built the first town of the Beiyang Army with their patchwork.

Now due to the emergence of the Ming Dynasty, the Manchu Qing absolutely dare not let the Han people form a new army.

From officers to soldiers, all must use Manchus or Mongols.

And this Sotna prince is so smart here.

If according to the original method, let the Eight Banners young masters line up with the enemy to shoot each other, or even charge and fight, they absolutely dare not.

It is even possible that even the town in history is not enough.

But now that Lord Suoye made a little trick and ordered the Japanese king to present warriors as pioneers. Isn't this battle less scary?

And when the time comes, a young master will bring a fast horse and a foreign gun, and put three shots into the sky to repay the emperor's favor, and then look at the situation.

If the Japanese are defeated, they will ride fast horses and retreat quickly.

The Japanese Qisheng served the country and died as well.

I am a banner man who keeps a useful body and slowly honors the emperor. Naturally, he cannot die in vain. Presumably future Arab princes and soldiers will give a thumbs up after seeing it.

If this set of logic is explained clearly, the brave Manchurian athletes will be more enthusiastic about joining the army.

This time, a total of 3000 bannermen's disciples gathered a total of [-] people to build three towns of the New Army, vowing to fight Baoming to the death.

So the lack of people was finally resolved so-so.

Eighteen towns built three towns first, which can be regarded as worthy of the emperor and ancestors, and everyone in the court was very happy.

But the lack of money is a headache.

The customs duties of my Qing Dynasty are in the hands of the British, and the money will be given priority to repay the indemnity.

At the end of last year, merchants and gentry from all over the world were mobilized to actively donate alternate official positions, but many officials from Yili and Suriyasutai were sold.

But in the long run, we still have to rely on taxes!

This is why the memorial to impeach Li Hongzhang for his various evil deeds in Suzhou is like a crucian carp crossing the river, but he is as stable as Mount Tai.

Abolish Li Hongzhang?

At any rate, he, Li Hongzhang, can still hand over 10 taels of land tax to the imperial court every year.

It is true that Jiangsu is a large taxation province, and it is true that the annual land tax of Kangxi and Qianlong years was 600 million taels.

But in the past few years, there were bandits, knives, foreigners, and bandits. Except for Li Hongzhang, no one really had the ability to earn money for the court there.

On the contrary, those gangs of wine bags and rice bags will ask the court for money to raise soldiers, and that is called raising tigers!

Anyway, in Cixi's view, Li Hongzhang is still paying taxes to the court, so he is still a loyal minister of the Qing Dynasty.

As for how he got his money, that doesn't matter.

When my Qing Dynasty trains the new army of the three towns, Zhu Fugui, the Khan with two guns, and Li Hongzhang, who plotted against the gods, I will give you the ashes of the heavenly soldiers of the Qing Dynasty!

……

I have to say that Li Hongzhang's ability to govern the local area is still good.

The lives of the people in Gusu, Shanghai and other places have gradually stabilized, and Jiangnan has also restored some of its former prosperity.

This can be seen from the fact that almost none of the newly arrived immigrants in Ming Dynasty spoke Suzhou dialect in the past six months.

In the minds of most Chinese people, as long as they are not desperate, they will not choose to leave their hometown.

In a sense, Daming's growth is thanks to this fucking era.
