The fragrant fish fillet porridge, pan-fried buns, shredded radish cakes, roasted egg yolks, duck blood and vermicelli soup... slowly a table of Jinling snacks, this is Xiao Letian's breakfast today.
Xiao Letian only rested for an hour and a half last night. When he got up early in the morning, Zeng Guofan came to him with rabbit eyes. It turned out that he had not slept all night.
The commander-in-chief brought a table full of Jinling-style snacks for breakfast, and the two of them didn’t have to give in. You had a bowl of porridge and I had a bowl of soup and ate it up.
"Where is your Majesty?" Xiao Letian asked.
"I just went to bed and stayed up all night..." Zeng Guofan replied.
"said."
"Yes..." Zeng Guofan nodded and picked up a siomai.
After eating a siomai, Zeng Guofan suddenly asked, "You taught me all this."
Xiao Letian smiled, "You must be willing to learn."
The two of them were just talking about the password without starting to the end. If there was a spy on the roof, they would be worried because they couldn't understand what they were talking about.
"You agreed." Xiao Letian gave the commander a fried dumpling.
"I agreed to kill him first. As for what will happen four years later, I haven't made a direct commitment yet. After all, he is still a child... I want to hear your opinion."
"Haha, you came to ask my opinion. In fact, you already have an opinion in your stomach, but you just want to ask me to increase your confidence. Whatever you want to know, I will tell you everything."
Zeng Guofan put down his chopsticks, "I want to know how much he has understood what His Majesty said, and how much he really wants to implement it. I really can't believe it from a twelve-year-old child."
Xiao Letian rolled his eyes, "Do we still have a choice? Have you forgotten the ideal we agreed on together before? No matter how long the change takes, even if it takes three or even four generations, we must ensure that these more than 10 million square kilometers The land cannot be lost.”
"Before China is facing a great crisis that has not been seen in thousands of years, and it is also a great opportunity that has not been seen in thousands of years. A rare opportunity for the unity of the Chinese nation is right in front of us. We cannot let the good opportunity given by God go to waste."
Few people can understand the conversation between the hidden dragons, because the realms of people are different.
Just like when Zeng Guofan and Xiao Letian talked, they rarely mentioned the word Han, but often mentioned Huaxia, China, the Chinese nation, etc. This is not because the two are pretending to be mysterious; From the very beginning, the problem was analyzed from the perspective of national integration.
The heyday of the Qing Dynasty's territory should be after the pacification of the Junggar Khanate in 1759. At that time, the territory covered 13 million square kilometers. However, after the Second Opium War in 1860, the Russians took advantage of the situation and robbed the entire Qing Dynasty. More than 1 million square kilometers of land.
The land of more than one million square kilometers did not wake up the Manchus, but frightened some Han elites represented by Zeng Guofan.
What should China look like in the future? If we learn from the Song Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty and hold high the banner of the Han people to fight against foreigners, can China only be a Han China?
This is of course possible. When the Han people unite to form their own nation-state, then it is fair that you will lose all inheritance rights to minority lands.
The areas outside the customs do not belong to you Hans, Mongolia does not belong to you Hans, and Tibet and Qinghai do not belong to you Hans. If you want to talk about the Western Regions, the international community will not recognize them as belonging to you Hans.
Bye bye, you can take your time while guarding the territory of the Song Dynasty. It is impossible to restore the territory of the Ming Dynasty. You think the cannons of the Western powers are a vegetarian. They are eager to break up China into countless small countries. .
The most realistic possibility is that the Central Plains cannot even maintain the territory of the Northern Song Dynasty, and will return to the war-torn years like the Five Dynasties, Tenth, and Southern and Northern Dynasties. If such disintegration occurred in the 19th century, then there would be no possibility of restoration.
People like Xiao Letian and Zeng Guofan can see the cruel reality and will never let such a tragedy happen, so they have to endure it.
No matter how many times Ninth Commander Zeng Guoquan hinted at rebellion, Zeng Guofan remained unmoved. No matter whether Xiao Letian had a good impression of the Manchus or not, he would still educate Zaichun wholeheartedly. Even if he invaded Beijing, he would be safe and happy in the end. Exit.
In the end, Xiao Letian had to pretend to be an innocent little white rabbit and show the Eastern Queen Mother's edict to the Western envoys: "Look, this is not because I want to rebel. I was invited by the imperial court..."
What is the purpose of everything? The reason is that the Qing Dynasty's rightful name cannot be lost, because this rightful name represents the legal control of the current 12 million square kilometers of land.
Many people can't understand what a rightful title is. In fact, you can completely understand it as a property inheritance right. You are your grandfather's legitimate son and grandson, and you have the inheritance rights of more than a thousand hectares of your grandfather's land. It is written in white on black paper. That is the great honor.
Of course, if you are young and weak, and your relatives or robbers from outside steal all your land, you will not actually get any output from the land. This seems to be a great thing. The title is of no use.
But don’t forget, as long as the legal inheritance rights are in your hands, and as long as the will is recognized by international law, you will have an opportunity.
To give a simple example, you can take this thousand hectares of land inheritance certificate, find a stronger tiger, and discuss with him, "My house is occupied by a pack of wolves. Please come out and kill them." I will give you one-third of the land left by my ancestors, and I will give you a written certificate as proof."
Look, you can't deal with that pack of wolves, but there are tigers that can kill them easily. Although you have lost part of the property left by your ancestors, at least you have saved a large part of it. This is the importance of righteousness. Sex.
This kind of thing is not unprecedented in history. When An Lushan rebelled, Li Longji fled to Sichuan. Who revived the Tang Dynasty? It was Suzong Li Heng of the Tang Dynasty. He not only had generals like Guo Ziyi under his command, but also summoned Huihe soldiers to fight for him.
Then why should the Huihe soldiers listen to him? This is the role of righteousness. You can take away the gold and silk of the Guanzhong women who defeated the rebels. Under the heavy reward, there will be brave men. How can the Huihe soldiers not work hard?
Looking back to modern times, during the Second World War, France was destroyed and Charles de Gaulle formed a government-in-exile and gained the French government's rightful name. However, in the end, the French did not fight many wars and ended up with one of the five permanent seats. Do you think the rightful name is useful? .
Since human society entered the 19th century, the importance of international law has become more and more obvious. The civilized world is no longer as barbaric and violent as it was in the 17th and 18th centuries. In this era, just being strong with fists is not enough. Likewise, Also play with international law.
The jungle also has the laws of the jungle, and the wolves also have the rules of the wolf pack. Xiao Letian is not a reckless man, and Zeng Guofan is not an angry youth. The two hidden dragons want to reverse China's national destiny, and they directly withstand the most valuable money in the hands of the Qing Dynasty without any discussion. It is a treasure, it is a righteous right, it is the legal right to rule these more than 10 million square kilometers of land.
Note: Xinjing has always felt that the real skill is to make complex problems simple. We often hear the words "righteousness and fame" in film and television works and books, but without exception, the explanations are very convoluted. .
In fact, the big principles in the world are often very simple, but some people don't have the ability to say it is simple anymore, and some people don't want to say it is simple at all, that's all.
