Wang Huaiyuan said this with a guilty conscience. In fact, he was as conflicted as Luo Huo. First of all, the Four Heavenly Kings are all people who have access to Xiao Letian's core concepts, and their understanding of the Chinese order is quite profound.
Ryukyu is just one county, with a population of less than one million. The local forces represented by King Shangtai have long been completely reorganized by Xiao Letian, and Shangtai himself is not an ambitious emperor.
The spy placed by the CIA around King Shangtai had sent out a lot of intelligence. Wang Huaiyuan knew that Shangtai actually disliked reading books such as Confucian classics, historical materials, and emperors' minds. Shang Tai still prefers legendary biographies and travel notes from the West.
Jules Verne's science fiction novel had just come out in Europe, and Shang Taiwang had already hired someone to translate it into Chinese. Shang Taiwang spent a lot of money for these translations.
In fact, King Shangtai did not pose the slightest threat to Xiao Letian, because that person was not an emperor at heart. As long as he was obedient, the prime minister would definitely give him a lifetime of wealth.
King Shoutai did not take the lead, and the new title system rewarded all the important ministers of Ryukyu in the past. It can be said that the biggest resistance has been resolved.
As for the people, they are more at ease. The original indigenous people have seen Xiao Letian shed blood and sacrifice for them with their own eyes. Their worship of Xiao Letian comes from the bottom of their hearts.
The later immigrants were even more attracted by the Prime Minister's New Deal. The moment they landed, they had actually abandoned their past ideas from the bottom of their hearts.
Therefore, there will not be much resistance to the Chinese code in Ryukyu, including in the special zone of the Qing Dynasty. Even if Xiao Letian asked Fusang again, no one would dare to question the Chinese code. On the contrary, there will be more Fusang Warriors, merchants, and craftsmen were inspired by the Chinese code to defect.
All this seems very beautiful, but Wang Huaiyuan and the others know that this is just the calm before the storm, and the real resistance lies on the opposite continent.
What would the Queen Mother and Prince of Sijiucheng think? Ryukyu breaks away from the feudal domain! The vassal state that has existed for more than five hundred years will become independent now, and it will not recognize your central government! From now on we will be equal!
How loudly the big mouth slaps!
By abolishing the idea of the natural right of kings and breaking the privileges of the four classes of civilians, peasants, farmers, industry and commerce, Xiao Letian offended the Manchu aristocracy and the Han Dynasty landlord class, and they would definitely hate it.
But can you win the support of the people at the bottom by offending these people? After defeating the nobles and landowners, the poor people will laugh?
The answer is no. According to the current provisions of the Chinese Order, if it were copied to the Qing Dynasty, the people would not only not be grateful to the country, but would be in chaos.
Wang Huaiyuan looked at the sleeping Xiao Letian and whispered, "We can easily defeat the visible enemy, but the most terrifying thing is the invisible enemy... It is the hearts of hundreds of millions of people in the Qing Dynasty, those thoughts that have formed inertia!"
"They just believe that the king's power is given by heaven, they just think that all people are not equal, and they have countless attachments and distinctions in their hearts..."
"The emperor is good, and the bad ones are always the ministers around the emperor. No matter how hard their lives are, as long as the emperor cheers up and kills a group of corrupt officials, the people will naturally shout long live and continue to worship the emperor! This kind of power The inertia of thought cannot be solved by the Prime Minister, it must take time!"
"Unless..." Wang Huaiyuan's face turned pale, and Luo Huo asked nervously, "Unless what? Unless we kill a few emperors in front of hundreds of millions of people? Kill a group of royal nobles, and let the blood of the nobles sting the people. s eyes?"
"Let them see with their own eyes that those guys who have the power of kings can also cry, pee their pants, and timidly kneel down to beg for mercy? Will the gods in their hearts collapse?"
Luo Huo's low roar made Wang Huaiyuan very depressed. He clenched his fists with both hands and his knuckles turned white. "Yes... Now it seems that only this method is the most thorough and effective! Just like the French Revolution, Without the head of Louis XVI, there would be no Declaration of the Rights of Man and Human Rights.”
"Just like Britain, if you don't chop off the head of Charles I, there will be no stable parliamentary system! If the royal family doesn't bleed, they won't know what fear is! The fear in the hearts of the people cannot be eliminated..."
Luo Huo grabbed Wang Huaiyuan's collar and roared, "Are we going to kill Zaichun? He...he is still a child!" The eyes of the eldest man were red.
This group of veterans of the Kingdom of Heaven, following Xiao Letian in their treacherous and evil deeds, should supposedly hate the Tatar Emperor the most. But Zai Chun is an exception. After all, he is only a thirteen-year-old child! Moreover, he had studied Western learning with the Prime Minister for a long time. In daily life and bit by bit communication, people seemed to have forgotten Zai Chun's identity.
Luo Huo once taught Zai Chun pistol rapid fire, Wang Huaiyuan taught Zai Chun basic intelligence warfare rules, Xiao He taught Zai Chun geopolitics, Sima Yun... well, Sima Yun taught Zai Chun that he should talk less or not at all.
Why do people have two eyes, two ears, and one mouth? It just wants people to see more, listen more, and talk less! This is the life principle that Sima Yun taught Zai Chun.
In Ryukyu, people have gradually forgotten the identity of Emperor Zaichun Tongzhi. This little boy who suffered hardships in the new military camp, this little emperor who did not want others to kowtow to him, indeed received the care of many people. At that time, people Forgot who he really is.
But today, the cruel reality made Luo Huo and Wang Huaiyuan understand that Zai Chun would always be the Tongzhi Emperor and the owner of more than 10 million square kilometers of the Qing Empire. Different identities would sooner or later cause conflicts.
Wang Huaiyuan knocked off Luo Huo's hand with his backhand, "What nonsense are you talking about! Prime Minister... The Prime Minister is just talking drunkenly. I will never believe that the Prime Minister would kill Zai Chun. What the Prime Minister wants to kill are those roadblocks in Sijiu City, definitely not Zai Chun." Chun..."
These words were quite decisive, but why did Wang Huaiyuan himself feel so guilty?
At this moment, Xiao Letian who was on the bed suddenly sighed quietly, "Hey... if you don't seek death, you won't die. You actually walk your own path. Should you choose the spacious Yangguan Avenue in the future? Or will you die?" A single-plank bridge to survive? Doesn’t it all depend on his own choice?”
"Why are you two so worried? Sometimes on the altar of the progress of the times, we don't capture the sacrifices. Sometimes they are sacrifices who insist on dying on their own, so why should we be so polite?"
"If you have such a little leisure, why don't you quickly send ships out to sea to increase the intensity of patrols? I guess Xiang Ying's group of brats should be back..."
