Chapter 656: Talking about China’s dark period again
"Then you mean that in the Qin Dynasty, it was possible to wage war on the world?" Xiang Yu asked.
"That's right." Qin An nodded, "If I have a chance to reach the Qin Dynasty, I will definitely occupy the whole world.
Even if I can't do it while I'm alive, I still have to let my sons do it. If my son's generation doesn't succeed, then I'll have to wait until my grandson's generation, and my great-grandson, and there will be endless descendants.
If the world is not unified, China will definitely enter a century-long dark time in two thousand years. "
"Sir." Xiang Liang asked, "How can we talk about the dark days of China?"
Qin An sighed and said, "I said it several times in the dark, but every time I said it, it made me very angry. I wish I could destroy those countries that oppressed China."
"Sir, it must be very dark for you to hate me so much," Xiang Liang said.
Qin An nodded and said, "Yes, it's a long story. Let me talk about the history of China first.
Everyone says that China has a history of five thousand years, and the source is our ancestors, the Yellow Emperor and the Yan Emperor, and then the Xia, Shang and Zhou, Qin and Han, Three Kingdoms, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, Sui and Tang, Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties.
Among them, the Southern and Northern Dynasties and the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms are equivalent to the Warring States Period. The other three countries are three countries that exist together.
Therefore, people say that if the world is united for a long time, it must be divided, and if it is divided for a long time, it must be united. "
"Sir, what we want to know is the situation in China's dark ages, not the history of China." Xiang Yu said impatiently.
Xiang Liang suddenly said angrily: "Yu'er, don't say anything. You are just letting us know about China's two thousand years of experience."
Qin An smiled and said: "Xiang Xiaoyu, I want to tell you that China has existed for more than two thousand years, and has had its glory days and declines, but these are all China's own internal affairs.
The three most powerful dynasties in China, the Han Dynasty, made China spread throughout the world and made the world aware of China. Moreover, China's military power was the first in the world at that time, so everyone in China called themselves Han people.
Another dynasty was the Tang Dynasty. It was truly No. 1 in the world at that time, whether it was military, economic or cultural. Chang'an, the capital of the Tang Dynasty, became the center of the world.
It truly created a scene where all nations came to court. Since then, some people have called Chinese people Tang people, and there are even Chinatowns all over the world.
At that time, it was said that there were only two kinds of people in the world, one was called Chinese and the other was called foreigners. This was the perception of people all over the world.
As for the Ming Dynasty, this is a country that I feel is a pity because the Ming Dynasty had many firsts in the world and also made seven voyages to the West.
Moreover, the Ming Dynasty was the last dynasty of the Han people.
After the end of the Ming Dynasty, there was the Qing Dynasty. The Qing Dynasty was a foreign race to the Han people, equivalent to the Qin Dynasty and the Xiongnu.
It's just that one was won by the Qin Dynasty, and the other was won by the Qing Dynasty.
Moreover, after the Qing Dynasty occupied the Han Dynasty, it massacred countless Han people. During the Ming Dynasty, there were 190 million Han people. However, by the time the Qing Dynasty truly established its foothold, the population was no more than 60 million. "
"Damn it, how dare they kill innocent people so indiscriminately, killing a hundred million people, it's simply unforgivable.
Sir, tell me where they are and I will kill them now. Xiang Yu said angrily.
Qin An shook his head and said: "One hundred million people are not necessarily massacres, but eight million of them are absolute massacres, because this was recorded by the Qing court itself, and some others died during the change of dynasties."
"What's the difference between this and being massacred? Sir, you'd better tell me where they are and I'll send troops to attack them now." Xiang Yu said again.
Xiang Liang rolled his eyes and said angrily: "Shut up, sir. These are our internal affairs in China. This shows that people in the Qing Dynasty are also people in China. If you take revenge, go kill people outside China." "
Xiang Yu was immediately speechless. Since the Qing Dynasty people had become a member of China, he really couldn't take action.
Qin An nodded and said, "Lao Xiang is right."
Xiang Liang was speechless. He became a fellow villager.
Qin An continued: "The Qing people, also known as the Manchus, are now one of the fifty-six ethnic groups in China. Since they are our own people, we can let go of our previous grudges.
What we are going to talk about now is that in the late Qing Dynasty, China was invaded by foreigners. Read the book
The Qing government implemented a closed-door policy and did not allow a single ship to go to sea. It was unaware of everything happening in the world.
At this time, Western powers had occupied a large number of colonies in the world, including the White Elephant Kingdom next door to us, which was the Tianzhu Kingdom in the Tang Dynasty and the Maurya Dynasty in the Qin Dynasty.
Their most ruthless thing is not to directly attack us with open swords and guns, but to first use weapons banned in their country to torture our Chinese people, army, court officials and royal family.
This drug is addictive. If you don't take a sip, you will feel uncomfortable all over, as if tens of thousands of ants are biting you all over your body.
At first, he smoked once a day, then he smoked more than a dozen times a day, or even more than twenty times a day. Finally, the family's money was gone and they had to sell their wives and children.
The most important thing is that if you smoke regularly, your health will get worse and worse. An obese person will become skinny and full of diseases, the kind of terminal illness.
The Qing Dynasty's million-strong army eventually became a skinny and sick man. In the end, 20,000 British troops were beaten outside the capital, forcing the Qing government to cede Hong Kong Island.
From then on, Western powers continued to encroach on China, and eventually most of China became colonies of other countries.
In the colonies, Chinese people were like dogs. They did the most tiring and dirty work, but received the least money and lived the hardest life.
This is not enough. Foreigners are collectively called foreigners, foreign devils, etc. Not only do they enjoy emperor-like rights, they can suppress Chinese people at will, and even kill innocent Chinese people.
The officials of the imperial court also wanted to punish the sins of the Chinese people and flatter the foreigners, especially when the foreigners were just beggars abroad.
In some places, there are signs saying that Chinese people and dogs are not allowed to enter.
The Qing government even signed thirty-one unequal treaties with Western powers. These treaties opened treaty ports and had possessions in the colonies..."
Qin An talked about some unequal treaties, and every one of them made people grit their teeth.
"Incompetent, really incompetent, the people of the Qing Dynasty are so incompetent." Xiang Yu said angrily.
Qin An said: "If you can't stand these, then what a country does will be even more intolerable for you."
"Which country? What did they do?" Xiang Yu asked.
Qin An said slowly: "It's Japan. They have been respectful to China since the Han Dynasty. We basically taught each other everything we had, but in the end they actually launched a war against China."
