Fifth Master Yi Pei is definitely a tragic hero. At the end of the conversation, he even came up with a plan that made Yang Zhidu stunned.
"If the moment of earth-shaking really comes, if many things really cannot be changed, then the escape route I left for the Manchus will come in handy..."
"I will buy some land in barren places overseas, such as the British Australia and parts of the Far East... I will form a government in exile. Those Manchus who are lucky enough to escape the Han people's butcher's knife will finally have a place to stay. !”
"Of course, this is the last and most helpless way. I will not take this step unless it is a last resort... But I am very worried about the future situation of the court. The Southern Longhair has been exterminated for five years, but now The power of the imperial court is not centralized..."
"What will happen in the future? As expected, civil wars are frequent. The conflicts between the East and the West are irreconcilable. There is even a ideological gap between Yi? and Yixuan... His Majesty is training hard in Fujian now. What does he want to do? It goes without saying…”
"Civil war will start sooner or later. We must not be spectators in this war. We must take action at the most critical moment to make the killing less and the war shorter..."
"I, Yi Pei, dare not say how talented I am. Of course I am not as good as my sixth and seventh brothers, but at least I still have a pure heart. I want to do something, even if it is just a drop in the bucket, at least I still try my best to drink that glass of water, which is worse than doing nothing at all!"
In the fifth master's judgment, the political situation in the Manchu Qing Dynasty will probably not be peaceful in the next ten years or so. The forces of all parties have grown stronger. No one is naturally willing to submit to others. After the secret war, there will definitely be an open war.
No one knows how many princes and grandsons will be lost in this war, let alone how many careerists will take advantage of the situation. The Eight Banners system was originally inclined to decentralize power. After entering the customs, the three dynasties of Kangxi, Yongzheng and Qianlong tried their best to instill the Confucianism of the Han people. , this barely created the centralized power structure of the Qing Dynasty.
But this kind of structure requires a strong monarch to be in charge. Once the monarch is weak, the decentralization gene within the Eight Banners in the past will immediately revive, and God knows how many real dragons will die by then.
The fifth master drank too much, and finally it was Yan Zhihu's house where Li Tuo sent Yang Zhi away. Li Tuo whispered in the alley, "Brother Yang! You must keep a trace of clarity in your heart. You are the second minister and we are the junior officials." , to put it bluntly, they are all vines with weak roots..."
"If you want to do well in the court, or save a small life, you have to cling to a big tree... The biggest tree I can find in the capital right now is the fifth master in front of me, Yipei. ! He is the only one who allows us to take refuge in him when his power is still weak..."
"Loyalty doesn't matter, the current situation is like this. If you want to live and don't want to be a lackey who is cooked, then you have to show your loyalty to the Fifth Master. At this time, you are still a loyal minister of the Qing Dynasty..."
"But if you want to live longer, be safe and happy until the age of 80, and then your children and grandchildren can live better lives, then there is always a string hanging in your heart... You are not anyone's loyal minister at all, you are a gray group like us As a member of the team, the so-called mountains are not mountains, and water is not water. There is me among you and you among me..."
"I can't tell the difference between loyal ministers and traitorous ministers... Let's just go forward in confusion. God knows what is waiting for us later..."
"If the Fifth Master wants money, let's make money for him. If the Fifth Master wants to build his own power, let's recruit talents for him... If there is a chance, it is not impossible to put a yellow robe on him!"
Yang Zhi rubbed the skin on his face fiercely, took a few deep breaths of the cold wind in the winter night, and his mind finally became clearer. He looked at his house with lanterns not far away, and watched the housekeeper and a group of servants waiting anxiously. , he shook his head.
"I don't want to think about it anymore. In order to achieve glory and wealth, I have to fight even if there are mountains of swords and seas of fire ahead of me! I just want money. As long as someone supports me, I have plenty of ways to make money!"
"Come here, send a message to Mr. Li Tuo and ask him to pay close attention to the situation in Nanyang. I feel that a big fortune will be obtained soon..."
The island of Kalimantan in Southeast Asia is commonly known as Borneo by the Chinese. This is the third largest island in the world. It is located in the middle of the Southeast Asia. It has a very favorable geographical location and extremely rich products.
The equator passes through Borneo, and the hot climate brings abundant rainfall. The rainforest and vegetation here are very dense. It is an important main producing area of spices, rubber, coffee, cocoa and other cash crops in South Asia, and the island also has certain gold, silver, tin and other mineral deposits.
The rich land naturally aroused the covetousness of many parties. From the earliest Portuguese colonists to the later Dutch and British colonists, batches of Western expedition fleets took away countless wealth from here.
Of course, the Chinese will not ignore this island of wealth. The number of Chinese in Borneo has now surpassed Malacca and the Lion City, becoming the second important gathering area for Chinese in South Asia.
From Pontianak to Kuching and then to Sibu Brunei, all large cities have a large number of Chinese. Due to the increasing population and Xiao Letian's power beginning to expand here, the prestige of the Chinese is now better than in history. There are too many.
Especially in Brunei, which was known as the Bo Ni Kingdom in ancient Ming Dynasty, it is the place with the largest concentration of Chinese. Sihai Trading Company and Mijia Grain Company, two Chinese super grain trading trust groups, regard this place as important. The granary began to be operated with great pains.
Along the northern coastline of Brunei, from Berlayi to Tudong, the coastline stretches for hundreds of kilometers, and there are densely packed farmlands as far as the eye can see. These industries are all affiliated to Sihai Trading Company and Mijia Food Company.
Mi Fu's nephew Tian Lin, and Niu Jincai, the big boss of Sihai Trading Company, are stationed here. What they love to do most now is to patrol the coastal road from Bai Layi to Dudong in a carriage, looking at the farmland little by little. They began to look southward, not to mention how good their mood was.
Tian Lin and Niu Jincai were also riding in a spacious Western-style carriage today. They looked at the beautiful scenery around them through the bright glass. On the left were endless rice fields, and on the right was the blue South China Sea. Farmers and fishermen were working hard to create Wealth, if you look at it, as long as the people are working, they must be Chinese, and as long as they are lazy, they must be Nanyang Monkeys.
"I would have never imagined that there could be such a wealthy place in the world without going abroad. Look at the impoverished provinces in the northwest and southwest of the country. There is famine every year, and even the people who want to farm have no land to farm..."
"That's right. When I was a child, I went to the southwestern provinces with my family. I was so poor! There were mountains of rocks everywhere. The rocks were broken and broken. There was no soil at all. It was impossible for people to grow anything to eat... "
"That's right, and over there in the northwest, I dug the entrance of my patio twenty feet underground and there was no water coming out. Not to mention watering the ground, it was even a problem for people to drink. That's called being poor!"
