Finding a European princess for Zai Chun was something Xiao Letian had planned for a long time. In order to achieve this goal, Xiao Letian had been secretly instilling the beauty of Western women into Zai Chun. Want to read a book
The female statues from the ancient Greek and Roman period were the kind of naked female statues that rotten scholars scolded. Xiao Letian made several large picture albums for Zai Chun to see. Maybe the reason for Zai Chun's lust is Xiao Letian, who is ten A two-year-old child watches this every day.
Xiao Letian also bought many copies of Renaissance oil paintings, with the purpose of telling Zai Chun what health and beauty are.
The results are of course remarkable. When Zai Chun saw the Han girl with bound feet, she was so disgusted that she couldn't eat. When she saw the Manchu woman painted in dead white, she quickly ran away in disgust.
The aesthetics of women in the Qing Dynasty were very perverted, with small feet, flat chests, and bucket bodies. Only one who was thin was closer to the aesthetics of later generations, but this thinness could not be reduced to a flat body.
A truly beautiful girl should be curvy, with breasts and a butt, a tucked-in waist, and long legs and tall legs. How beautiful is this! But in the Qing Dynasty, what people admired the most was a very thin, flat figure, and pigeon breasts were the most beautiful.
Oh my god, how big can pigeon milk be? Where is the white rabbit of future generations that attracts people?
Xiao Letian once told Zai Chun that the future world will be a world of national integration. Since he admits this, he accepts it happily. Why can't the emperor marry a European princess?
In fact, it is not difficult to marry a European princess. Queen Victoria, recognized by later generations as the grandmother of Europe, is the queen who currently rules the United Kingdom. She actually grew up in Germany and later became the queen of the United Kingdom.
In today's Europe, there are countless nobles who branched out from the Habsburg dynasty. The territory controlled by many so-called kings is just one county. There are countless so-called princesses in Europe. The emperor of the Qing Dynasty In terms of status, even marrying a princess who is Victoria's closest relative is not a problem.
Using a European princess in exchange for a long-term friendship with the Qing Dynasty, Europeans can calculate this account, and they can calculate it very well.
Zeng Guofan's reaction was normal, because after all, he was a Confucian official in the medieval world. In his mind, the emperor could only marry Chinese, but Xiao Letian gave up his idea with just one sentence.
"The queens of the Qing Dynasty were not Han Chinese at all, right? Most of them were Mongolians... Don't you know that, and are you still wishful thinking?"
Zeng Guofan sighed, "Okay, I think your idea is also very good, but have you considered the opposition within the Manchus? They will agree..."
Xiao Letian smiled even more, "Why have you forgotten? Just now we were discussing how to help His Majesty start a war with the Manchu conservatives. We are already ready to risk our lives. Do you still care about their opposition? The foreign guns are pressed against their foreheads. I want to see who dares to have any objections!"
After hearing this, Zeng Guofan waved his hands and turned away. He sighed, "I'm old. I'm really old. I'm not as aggressive as you anymore... Let's do it this way. I can still afford to wait for four years of gambling!"
It is now 1868. Four years later, in 1872, Zai Chun was 16 years old. That was also the year he took charge. History has taken a fork in the road. Emperor Tongzhi no longer chose to be a Manchu puppet emperor. The four years were the four years for him to accumulate strength.
After seeing off Zeng Guofan, the next few days were easy. Xiao Letian did not arrange the time too tightly. It was both his and Zai Chun's first time coming to Jiangnan. They had a good time and waited until late March to leave by boat from Shanghai. Qing Dynasty, when the time comes to go all the way south and start a trip to Europe, there is still time.
In the next few days, the 'foot-binding ghosts' led by the Kirigakure kid achieved great success, and many fragrant ghost stories were circulated in the Jiangnan area. For example, the Yangzhou madam surnamed Liu and his mistress had just sold 12 thin horses that looked like flowers. , drank too much that night and fell into Slender West Lake and drowned.
When people discovered the dead bodies the next day, they discovered that all the bones of their feet had been broken into pieces, and the footcloths had been dragged to the water plants at the bottom of the lake.
Not only that, a salt transport envoy on the Huai'an Salt Road, who was a fourth-grade official, actually fell in love with his daughter-in-law. This was really a scandal, and everyone in the entire Huai'an area knew about it. However, the family denied it, and in the end they hurriedly arranged the funeral without reporting the crime.
What's even more bizarre is that when the body, which was originally in good condition, was about to be sealed in the coffin after the funeral, people discovered that the shoes of the Salt Transport Commissioner were missing, the bones of his feet were broken, and a foot binding cloth was tightly wrapped around them. . Only then did people know that the rumors were true, that the foot-binding ghost was responsible, and that this case must be a romantic case.
Gradually, people figured out the rules. Originally, people thought that this was another wealthy family doing chivalry, but it was very strange. All the cases related to the foot-binding ghosts were related to women, and all of them were victims of unfortunate women being tortured. , only the foot-binding ghost will take action.
As for the remaining issues of corrupt officials seizing other people's property and powerful landlords dominating people's land, the foot-binding ghost never takes action. Moreover, the foot-binding ghost is really not a human being. He committed a crime in Shanghai today, but three hours later something strange happened in Jinling.
Can you get from Shanghai to Jinling in three hours? What else could it be if it wasn't a ghost! Gradually, rumors of the underworld's retribution began to spread throughout the south of the Yangtze River. Various versions of ghost stories only focused on one thing: bound feet were ominous!
Countless people swore and said, "Look at the Manchus in the city, don't they do a lot of immoral things?" Why does the foot-binding ghost never come to your door? There are also many Taoists and eminent monks who pretend to be mysterious in their teachings. The matter of foot binding itself is harmful to heaven and earth. If you, a good person, have to be disabled, God has long been displeased.
Only those rotten scholars continue to pretend to be submissive, and go to local officials one after another to demand severe punishment of the foot-binding ghosts, and to silence the common people. The big boss wants to play with a few women with bound feet. These untouchables dare to make noises, and they should be killed!
The local magistrate also agreed. After all, there were many women with bound feet in his family, but how to catch this ghost? The duties given to officials by the imperial court did not include catching ghosts. They were arguing and arguing before one, two, and three could be resolved. As a result, the foot-binding ghost took action again, and he attacked three and four places at the same time.
Now the ghost story of the underworld's retribution could no longer be suppressed, and gradually spread to the whole country.
The Kirigakure kid strictly followed Xiao Letian's orders and did not carry out any unauthorized actions to bring in private goods. Her series of assassination plans successfully diverted public opinion and the attention of the government in Jiangnan, giving Xiao Letian and Zai Chun a chance to travel to the mountains. Water play creates the conditions.
Now even if Marshal Zeng's White Tiger Festival extends the crackdown for another year, no one will doubt anything else. There is a foot-binding ghost in Jiangnan, and it is indeed time to crack down hard.
The days of entertainment passed quickly, until early March, when Xiao Letian and Zai Chun returned to the CIA headquarters in Jinling from a trip to Chaohu, an extremely important piece of information and an intelligence officer who was so weak that he was about to die interrupted 1868 In all of Xiao Letian's work plans, a bizarre thing happened in front of Xiao Letian.
"Oh my God! Why isn't this incident included in the memory bank of my previous life? Is it true or false..."
