Late Qing Dynasty: from Huai Army Staff to the Most Powerful Official

Time travel to 1862, he carried Li Hongzhang out of the dead and became the youngest aide of the Huai Army. Cixi praised him as "the pillar of the country", foreigners feared him as "the fox of the East", and his colleagues envied him for his unfailing sage. In the past thirty years, he was in charge of the household affairs department, engaged in foreign affairs, and joined the military. He exerted power in both the government and the public. He was the most dazzling ZTE official in the late Qing Dynasty. ——No one knows that Tan Sitong, who was "executed" in Caishikou, is currently revising the "Strategy for the Founding of the People's Republic of China" in his secret room. While he was buying huge ships for the Beiyang Navy, he replaced all the gunners with his own people. He wants to personally turn this crumbling building into a cemetery where an era is buried. This is a gentle trap that one man spent forty years tailor-made for a three-thousand-year-old empire.
