Xiang Ying regretted a little. He regretted his behavior of testing the master. When a certain image collapsed in his heart and then another image began to be reshaped, this process was undoubtedly painful.
What was Xiao Letian like before? It is in the shape of a scholar, in the shape of a hero, in the shape of great wisdom and courage that remains unchanged despite the collapse of Mount Tai... At that time, Xiao Letian could talk on the podium for three days and three nights, and he could also hold a flag on the battlefield. Beat the drums and rush to the front line.
He is the founder of the Chinese nation who loves his people like a son, and he is also a wise and courageous prime minister of the Chinese nation. He is a strict teacher in front of his disciples and a famous general in front of the army.
It's hard to find a negative image in Xiao Letian... Of course, lustful and frequent nonsense can only be regarded as minor blemishes, not fatal injuries.
But today, under Xiang Ying's constant probing, the master took off his mask and showed him a completely different side, one that was so cold and almost cold-blooded.
"It turns out that Zai Chun is so pitiful... He has been a tool for everyone since he was born, a tool for his mother to fight for power, a product of the internal weighing of pros and cons within the Qing Dynasty, and a victim of your conquest of the Qing Dynasty, master!"
"But he himself didn't know anything. He was still dreaming of a holy king and working hard. It turned out that all his efforts were in vain. From the moment he was born, the shackles were already on his body. On my body..."
"Do you feel sorry for him? This is not like you just now..." Xiao Letian said coldly, "Ru Wu has been in the emperor's family since ancient times. He was born in the emperor's family and had to carry the shackles and move forward. The sea and the sky are vast. A generation of saints can't get through. It’s just a joke in the history books!”
"Do you think I'm ruthless? Do you think I'm cold-blooded? Does it overturn all the good impressions you had before? Wake up! You have to know what kind of era we are in now. The survival of our nation has come to a close. What a dangerous situation!”
"The Manchus knew their destiny very well. They knew that there was no dynasty in this world that would last forever, so all they had to do was to try their best to extend the life of this dynasty, just like a paper framer repairing a dilapidated house. One day is just one day, and you can deceive the people for as long as one year..."
"There will come a time when they can no longer be deceived. What will happen then? They will naturally abandon everything. Who will care about the life and death of your country, nation and people?"
Xiao Letian suddenly became extremely angry. He lowered his voice and said hoarsely, "They cheat day by day and fool around year by year. The people are living the old life one after another in a muddle-headed way... What did we lose in the end? It's the history of history." Change, great opportunity!”
"When you look back, you will be saved for a hundred years! Once the historical opportunity is missed, our nation will not be able to turn over for a hundred years?"
"Look at Prussia. The whole country regards one day as a year. All factories are operating at full capacity. The newly built railway network extends across the country. The recruit camps are full of training bugles and soldiers' shouts of death..."
"Look at the United States. Just after the Civil War, they began to develop the west like crazy. There were countless new factory chimneys. Prospecting teams traveled all over the North American continent. In the future, the output of gold and silver mines will definitely become Double the growth!”
"Why are they working so hard? Because they clearly realize that the current era is advancing rapidly. If you are slower for one day, others will surpass you for one year. Time now is the most precious and cannot be wasted!"
"Xiang Ying, Xiang Ying! Do you know what the historical period we are now called is called? Haha... I created this term, and there is no other one in the world!"
"The period that mankind is now in is a key node in the transition from the first industrial revolution to the second industrial revolution! Even Westerners are not aware that the second industrial revolution is coming. It is a world dominated by oil and electricity. In the global era, new technologies will develop like a blowout..."
"The approximate boundaries of national territory in the next few hundred years are actually formed in these decades. Countries that can rise will take this opportunity to rise, and countries that cannot rise will perish. It is so cruel, It’s just that simple!”
"Do you understand now? China's national destiny has reached a turning crossroads. Do you think we can let the Manchus waste such a precious opportunity?"
"Do you still think I'm cruel now? Do you still think I'm cold-blooded? If my cruelty and cold-bloodedness can buy our nation ten or twenty more years of safe development, then what if I slaughter the world? Even if I So what if you fall into the Abi Hell and never recover!"
"I have no regrets!" This was the first time that Xiao Letian spoke his true feelings. He had never said these words to anyone.
In fact, in real history, the final demise of the Manchu Qing Dynasty was actually due to their own suicide. The power of inertia among the people of the Qing Dynasty was extremely powerful. Even after the Sino-Japanese War of 1884-1894, the Manchu Qing Dynasty's underwear was torn to pieces, and Countless people believed in the idea of the divine right of kings, and they still regarded the Qing Dynasty as the orthodoxy.
Think about the unsuccessful uprisings of the earliest Revolutionary Party. The numbness of the lower class people was frightening. In the end, it was only Yuan Shikai, the Manchu 'internal traitor', and the Revolutionary Party's 'foreign traitor' who joined forces to defeat them. The country of the Qing Dynasty.
What is the ultimate reason? In fact, it is due to the inertia of the people's hearts. As Xiao Letian said, it is not easy to change the thoughts and habits of a generation. In many cases, it requires the help of the power of death.
It must rely on time to wear down the generation with old ideas until they are worn out, so that young people with a new generation of ideas can take over.
The ego of the people is too strong. After twenty years of brainwashing, they become whatever they want. It is deeply ingrained and unbreakable.
The first Opium War was in 1840, and Queen Longqing issued her abdication edict in 1912, which took a full 72 years.
Maybe many people have no concept of time. If we use the calculation of one generation per decade, this would be 7 entire generations! Seven generations of people have been trapped in traditional ideas and influenced by the force of inertia. They live step by step like ants and worker bees, never knowing any change.
In the first Opium War, the Qing Dynasty lost to the British, and then the Taiping Rebellion killed nine out of ten households in the south of the Yangtze River. In the Second Opium War, even the capital was lost.
The Russians ceded millions of square kilometers of land, and the Northwest Huibu Rebellion and Aguba Rebellion lasted for decades, and then there was the war between the Qing Dynasty and France, and finally the miserable Sino-Japanese War of Sino-Japanese War.
Countless treaties were signed that were humiliating and humiliating the country, and the customs of the Qing Dynasty had to be managed by foreigners. Repeated failures and disappointments could not destroy the inertial power in the people's minds.
When the Boxing Party broke out in the north, there were still millions of impoverished people shouting slogans of supporting the Qing Dynasty and destroying foreign countries and attacking the Eight-Power Allied Forces.
Support the Qing, destroy the foreign? Support the imperial court that can't even defeat the Japanese? Why support it? People of later generations simply cannot understand the thoughts of the people at that time. Why were they so loyal to that alien ruler who suffered defeats again and again?
Why is all this happening?
