Xiang Ying has been putting up with Zai Chun for a long time. When he was studying in Prussia, he heard that the prime minister became Zai Chun's imperial advisor, and Zai Chun also followed Xiao Letian to Ryukyu. He felt as sick as eating a fly.
It is true that Xiang Ying was a native of the Qing Dynasty, but his loyalty to the Qing Dynasty and his love for the people had long been completely burned away by the fire in Xiangjiazhuang.
Coupled with the inspiration of the enlightenment thought of nationalism, Xiang Ying is now deeply aware of the original sins of aggression, strife, colonization, war, etc. between different nations in the world.
During the two hundred years of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, a minority ethnic group ruled the majority ethnic group. During this period, he clearly noted how many outrageous things he had done.
From a national emotional point of view, it is impossible for Xiang Ying to like Zai Chun, and from a personal emotional point of view, it is even less possible for him to like this middle school boy.
"Master! From what Zai Chun said just now, I can see that he is a person who has no regard for human life at his core. He doesn't care at all about the lives of the water ghosts we have trained so hard, let alone the golden waterway that Ryukyu relies on for survival. Safety, it seems that there is no concept of human life in his consciousness!"
"What are 178 mines? He has no idea. Those are 178 potential shipwrecks! Those are 178 merchant ships whose lives are threatened. He doesn't understand these..."
"Also, he is lustful! I admit, I hate that he has a lot to do with this. A big kid actually dares to touch Cai Bixia. If it weren't for his status, I would have whipped him this morning. What the hell? ? For such a lustful person to ascend the throne, what is he other than a foolish emperor?"
Xiang Ying untied the Feng Ji button and breathed heavily. He was ready to risk everything. He wanted to pour out all the words in his heart. Xiao Letian just listened quietly, with a smile on his face and said nothing.
"Master! Don't think I'm alarmist. You created the Chinese nation with your own hands. From the concept of this nation to the establishment of the entire framework, to the final use of the military to forcibly escort...the credit for this series of achievements is all yours. You are the Chinese nation." The founder of the clan, this is recognized by the entire Chinese clan!"
"Because of your special status, the identities of us disciples are also special! In people's minds, a disciple who enters a house is just like a half-son. Legally speaking, a disciple who enters a house has the right to inherit! It's just that! The inheritance rights come after your own children..."
"Zaichun has the identity of your disciple who entered the house, and he has a possibility in the future! What possibility? It is the possibility of stealing the Chinese Zhengshuo with a foreign race. He will use this identity to publicize, to win people's hearts, to announce The Manchu Qing Dynasty he represents also has the right to legally rule the Chinese people! Don’t you know these truths?”
Xiang Ying lit another cigarette for himself. This time his hands were shaking with excitement. "Yes, I don't have to hide it from you. Of course I have selfish motives. I have also considered the inheritance of my future career..."
"Prime Minister, you will have your own children sooner or later. My future little brother is destined to be the orthodox heir of the Chinese clan. This is understandable! But fighting a tiger requires brothers, and fighting requires father and son soldiers! When the little brother has not grown up, Before he became an adult, we were the second and third echelons who protected him!"
"The Four Heavenly Kings are already in their 40s, and I am only in my twenties. Judging from my age, I am in two echelons. I can protect my little brother step by step to inherit the position of leader of the Chinese clan in the future..."
"I dare not say whether there will be another struggle for power between us, but no matter how we fight for it, we all have a unified identity, that is, the Chinese... Isn't this what you always said, Master, rotten meat? What’s in the pot is also our Chinese’s pot, the Chinese’s meat!”
"Now what do you want to do with such a thing? Are you looking for outsiders to smash the pot?" The angry Xiang Ying clenched his fists subconsciously, and even the burning cigarette butts were held in his hands. He did not feel any pain. .
silence! There was an unusual silence on the iron ladder for a while! Xiao Letian looked at the setting sun in the distance and took a long breath for more than ten minutes.
"Ah... everything you said today, I'm really happy, I'm very happy! As expected of the nephew who was taught by Master Long, you dare to tell the truth!"
Xiao Letian patted him on the shoulder, "You have the courage to speak out about the issue of inheritance and your future ambitions. You are truly worthy of the word sincerity... The issue of inheritance has been a terminal disease in China since ancient times. How many flashes have occurred? The regime that was bright for a while finally collapsed because of the issue of inheritance!"
"Throughout the dynasties, no matter whether successful or unsuccessful leaders, when they reach that age, they will try their best to clear the way for their children, even if they kill the hero! If there is someone who is interested in writing a book like this in the future history books, that’s really a great merit!”
Looking into Xiang Ying's eyes, Xiao Letian said calmly, "Everyone is extremely shy about this topic, including Xiao Hexin, they also try to avoid this issue. They never bring up this topic. These are people who are familiar with history." Ah, they know this is a taboo subject and whoever touches it will die!"
"I'm sorry! I'm really sad! Because their behavior has equated me with those people in history! But am I really that kind of person? Xiang Ying, let me ask you, I bring Every step the Chinese take, who else has taken it in China’s thousands of years of history?”
"Haha, you have the courage to ask this question, this is your blessing! If you want to know the answer, then I will give you the answer!"
Xiao Letian clung to Xiang Ying's shoulders and the two looked at the sunset in the west, imagining that the ancient land across the sea was as close as father and son.
"You ask me why I teach Zai Chun everything I have and keep no secrets. This is both right and wrong... Why? Because what I teach him is always technical stuff, such as new weapons. , and the new tactics extended by the new weapons..."
"There are also various technologies, as well as the productivity revolution and military revolution brought about by new technologies, etc... It seems that I have leaked a lot, but you have neglected one thing, that is, the Manchus knew it but may not be able to do it. arrive!"
"Is it difficult to understand? It's actually very simple. For example, take the hydrological data of Ryukyu. Now Zai Chun already knows that naval warfare is not just about ships and artillery, but even hydrological data is a magic weapon for defeating the enemy. So let me ask you, After he understands this trick, can he do it?"
Xiang Ying was stunned. "That's right! There is no maritime university in the Qing Dynasty. They have never trained talents in this field? There seems to be a university in Mawei, Fujian, but it is small and pitiful. Compared with Ryukyu Maritime University, it is simply The contrast between a mouse and an elephant…”
"Being conscious does not mean having the ability! Having an idea does not mean being able to do it! Darling... isn't this intentional to make people greedy? The cream cake is placed in a glass cover, and you are so greedy that you won't let you eat it?"
