Everyone is an observer of history, but also a creator of history. When future generations look at history books and lament the indisputability of their predecessors, in fact, the lamenters themselves are just the objects of lament in the hearts of future generations.
Because human nature is like this, everyone has strong egoistic thoughts. People think that their own ideas are always right, and others are always wrong, and the environment is always wrong.
You can say that those Boxers who are shouting to support the Qing Dynasty and destroy the foreign countries are ignorant, but what can you say if they are not ignorant? Growing up, his grandparents, uncles, parents and teachers... always taught him to be loyal to the emperor and the country.
Over and over again, over and over again, and the most important thing is that everyone around him has been instilled in this way. The whole village, the whole town, the whole township, the whole county... everyone says so, everyone thinks so.
Growing up in this kind of environment, what new ideas can you help him come up with? How could he have the idea to overthrow everything?
During the Gengzi Incident in 1900 AD, Lafayette escaped from Beijing and did not stop until he reached Xi'an. He didn't even have food to eat in the first few days.
Ordinarily, this kind of completely hopeless imperial court should die, right? But the reality is so incredible. After the Gengzi Incident, it took another 12 years for the Qing Dynasty to fall.
12 years, that’s not 12 days or 12 months, but 12 whole years! How many 12 years are there in a person's life?
Even though the blood of the boxers in Beijing was drained, the people of the entire Qing Dynasty were not disappointed with the imperial court. They actually remained loyal to Lafayette? He also served this court for 12 years.
Even after the fall of the Qing Dynasty and the restoration of Zhang Xun, every house in Beijing, both Manchu and Han, set off firecrackers and hung dragon flags.
You must know that Zhang Xun was restored to power in 1917, and the Qing Dynasty was dead for five years. People still miss him. Is this really a kind of loyalty?
Actually no, it is just a subconscious blind obedience of human beings to habits.
Human nature is like this. The children's songs that the mother sang when she was a baby, and the stories that the father heard on the shoulder, everything has already molded a person's basic soul.
The habits instilled by parents and relatives with love can affect a person's life and will not be forgotten until death.
"My good son, when you grow up, you should study hard and get the top prize in the exam! Go to the Jinluan Hall and kowtow to the emperor. That is called Guangzong Yaozu!"
"Good grandson, remember the goodness of the Qing Dynasty! We can live a good life only if we have an emperor. Everything we eat and drink is thanks to the emperor's blessing! We must be loyal to the emperor and serve the country!"
…
That's when
4000
Society, this is the life of hundreds of millions of people. No matter who you are, you cannot erase this memory in his soul, this memory that has existed since infancy.
He has this brand, so his whole life is controlled by this brand! The Qing Dynasty was able to survive for so many years, in fact, it relied on the power of habit in the hearts of countless kind people.
Xiao Letian is very aware of the existence of this kind of power. Of course he knows that this kind of inertial force cannot be defeated by him. Who can defeat his mother? Is it possible that Xiao Letian wants to shout loudly to the five to six billion people in the Qing Dynasty that what your mother said is wrong, what your father said is wrong, and what your father and mother said are even more wrong.
If Xiao Letian dared to say this, his spine would be pierced, and the Tumo Xingzi could fill the entire Pacific Ocean! People are creatures who don't listen to reason and only talk about emotions. Even if their closest relatives do something wrong, they are still right in their hearts.
In order to solve this thorny problem, Xiao Letian racked his brains and almost vomited blood from exhaustion before arranging such a game. Breaking this situation is actually very simple.
The Manchus must be allowed to commit suicide, they must be allowed to act recklessly, and their ugly behavior must be repeatedly performed in front of the people! To put it bluntly, we want them to complete the process of successfully committing suicide in 72 years in real history, shorten it and shorten it! "
This is an arduous task racing against time. What Xiao Letian actually wants to seize is the 72 years of development and transformation time lost in Chinese history.
If we can seize 10 years early, we can do the things that can be done in 10 years. If we can do 20 years early, we can do the important tasks that can be done in 20 years.
Since the five to six billion people of the Qing Dynasty have cast their fantasy plots on the Qing Dynasty, all Xiao Letian has to do is to go with the flow and shatter the people's illusions.
Is there anything in the world that is more effective than civil war and self-mutilation in destroying one's reputation? It seems that there is no better way at the moment.
Let the various forces within the Manchus begin to massacre each other, making all the people with illusions stunned, and let them see with their own eyes the ugly faces between the so-called holy kings and famous ministers.
The more critical point is that this kind of civil war not only ruined the Qing Dynasty's own image and reputation, but also gave Western powers no excuse to directly intervene.
You said you recognize the Qing Dynasty? Okay, I also recognize the Qing Dynasty, and I, Xiao Letian, absolutely recognize it... If someone wants to rebel, like the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, it makes sense for you Westerners to send troops to intervene. After all, the treaty has been signed, and you all recognize each other.
But now it is a legitimate government that you recognize, and the Manchu Qing Dynasty is taking action within it. You can't just interfere in this. Why are you, an outsider, interfering in the fight for family property?
This legally blocks all excuses for Western powers to intervene militarily in the civil war! Of course, there will be Western forces that use funds and weapons to support all parties, but that is another grand strategic plan.
"Now...do you understand?" Xiao Letian said quietly to Xiang Ying, and the sweat on Xiang Ying's back was already pouring out like spring water.
His knees softened and he knelt on the ground. "Master's overall view is rare in the world! No one in the past has ever surpassed Master! The Chinese are lucky! China is lucky!"
This is not a compliment, this is true admiration from the heart! Everything Xiao Letian said today is completely a new realm that Xiang Ying has not yet comprehended.
In his consciousness, he had never looked at the problem from this perspective. He finally understood why the prime minister's layout was so strange yet so effective.
Because the prime minister had a perspective that no one else had, Xiang Ying even had a fantasy at that moment. He suddenly felt that God had given his eyes to his master.
How is it possible for humans to have such a God’s perspective? How can this be……
Kneeling is strictly prohibited in the new army. This is Xiao Letian's military order, but Xiao Letian did not stop Xiang Ying from kneeling today because this kneeling represents the inheritance between master and disciple.
Xiang Ying is Xiao Letian's true disciple, and no one else is!
Xiao Letian just let Xiang Ying kneel at the corner of the ladder. He whispered his secrets, and a series of grand strategies based on Zai Chun poured into Xiang Ying's ears with the sea breeze.
The incredible plans made Xiang Ying's eyes brighter and brighter, until finally Xiang Ying hit his head on the iron ladder, and his eyes filled with tears of excitement.
"Master! How can such a big plan be without me? If God wants to punish me, I am willing to follow the master and fall into the Abi Hell! Even if it is beyond redemption, I will not hesitate!"
