C1430 Jiu Shuai was enlightened (1/2)
After a long night of sighing, Jiu Shuai finally felt free from the knot in his heart. He understood Big Brother's painstaking efforts;
Other than that, Jiu Shuai had finally found out what big brother had been thinking all this while. Why didn't Ceng Guofan say anything to him earlier? That was because the time was not right, so what if he said it out loud? If he said it too early, with Ceng Guoquan's arrogant temperament, he would absolutely not be convinced.
Ceng Guofan could not possibly tell Ninth Brother that this man was not ordinary when he first met Xiao Letian secretly, and would possibly inherit the mantle of a Chinese nation and raise the flag of his people, right?
If Great Marshal Zeng had said so at that time, then with Jiu Shuai's temper, he would have immediately killed Xiao Letian.
Everything had to wait until the time was right. When would it be? They had to wait for Xiao Letian to perform a miracle that would stun the entire world, and make Ninth Brother convinced from the bottom of his heart before they could throw out these words.
Xiao Letian wrote < The Journey to the West >. Xiao Letian set up his overseas trip, entered the Ryukyu, and used his bare hands to instigate a hundred thousand Chinese uprising. He destroyed both the island and the city, and sat firmly on the prime minister's throne.
A strong army entering Europa, a battle of Poo War s, had caused even a European military observer to be stunned, did you submit?
After that, they annihilated the French invasion fleet, fought a short battle with the Qing Dynasty in the Beijing Belt, and even captured the capital. Xiao Letian was actually able to serve as the Regent for a few months, did you, Ol 'Nine, submit?
In the end, they took away the Tongzhi Emperor, and when they were in control of Japan, they marched into the South America and brought out a Chinese colony.
The Zhiyuan Warship controlled the Great Qing economy, the Zhiyuan Warship created a miracle with a great amount of money, the sea war struck and disturbed the Atlantic route, in the end, they destroyed the Russian fleet, and they heavily besieged the Russian Expeditionary forces, are you convinced?
He had no choice but to accept it! You have to wait until you, Ceng Guoquan, are completely convinced. You know that you cannot do all of this, so that you can truly open your heart and listen to your big brother's reasoning.
Don't think that the Xiang Army is awesome, the Xiang Army is only at home, in Jiangnan it is awesome, the moment they leave their homeland their battle strength would be discounted.
Needless to say further, the veterans that Zuo Jigao brought with him were all elites of the elites. However, in the west, they would need to be fed with silver before they could fight.
In the past, the imperial government had not given Zuo Jigao that much cash even when they exterminated the long-hair army. Now, they had to pay Zuo Jigao enough military salaries, and Hu Xueyan was already tired to the point of vomiting blood as well.
It was all because it was a fight in a foreign land, the Xiang Army was fighting for the sake of money, no one could even think of fighting without the help of money.
This was what it meant to fight in Great Qing, then what if one day, the soldiers had to go abroad to fight? At that time, when you come to a country that you are unfamiliar with, do you think you will still work hard?
These questions were like gigantic hammers smashing at the bottom of Jiu Shuai's heart, causing his proud heart to be filled with cracks.
Once upon a time, Xiang Army, riding on the glory of victory, was so strong that even the foreign citizens had to pay their respects to him. At that time, all the foreign citizens had to raise their eyebrows in respect.
It was precisely this kind of illusory scene that caused Jiu Shuai's ambition to rise rapidly. In his craziest moment, he could not understand his big brother's insinuations, nor could he understand the mocking and ridicule from the Manchu. His only thought was to get to the next level.
In the true history, Qing Liu and Jiu Shuai's own brother had suppressed his desire, and in the end, made his dream come to naught.
And today, it was Xiao Letian who used an almost inconceivable and dazzling battle record to intimidate his ambitions, and when Jiu Shuai let out a sigh that could not be compared to mine, his rebellious heart completely shattered.
