Traveling through the Xianfeng years of the late Qing Dynasty, I started living in a deserted village with no background and no financial resources. I also had to deal with bad habits and famine in troubled times!
Fortunately, I understand history, have a scheming mind, and don't play by common sense.
Working as a hard laborer at a dock, he became desperate and turned into a "Second Devil" to seek refuge with a foreign priest;
Playing tricks, coaxing county magistrates, and manipulating various officials in the late Qing Dynasty;
Build banks, open commercial banks, engage in military industry, and monopolize one's financial resources;
Train the new army, build guns and artillery, pacify the Taiping Army, separatize northern Jiangsu, and sit firmly on Diaoyutai with the backing of foreigners.
Others call me a devil, but I prefer to rule the roost in troubled times!
From a down-and-out refugee to a prince, taking advantage of the general trend of the times, taking advantage of foreigners, gathering talents from all over the world, and carving out a grassroots counterattack to the top in the turbulent late Qing Dynasty!
