Xiang Ying was shocked and stunned. He never imagined that he had devoted himself to studying his master's academic knowledge and applied what he learned to participate in the construction of the Chinese nation. Tianlai novels www. 『⒉
Everything he said was not the fault of a scholar in his study. It was the accumulation of insights he had seen, heard, and done in the process of governance.
Xiang Ying was among the first batch of military students to study in Europe. He was an elite among overseas students and the jewel in the crown. All his instructors in Europe praised him. He returned home on the Zhiyuan and won many military exploits.
Xiang Ying is one of the few Chinese people who has embarked on a global adventure. His vision and knowledge are extraordinary. Everything he said today is a rational judgment he made based on the actual situation in Europe after seeing the current situation of countless colonies with his own eyes.
But why? Why did he get a scolding from Yuan in the end?
Men in the army can bleed but not shed tears. Xiang Ying stood at attention and gave a military salute before turning around and leaving. He had to leave because the depths of his nose had begun to sore and his eye sockets had begun to heat up. If he stayed any longer, he would probably urinate.
Xiao Letian watched Xiang Ying go away with mixed feelings in his heart, but his face was calm and he didn't say anything. He just prayed for him silently in his heart. "It is undeniable that you, Xiang Ying, have already shown your sharpness. You are like a newly forged sword." It's like a sharp sword that makes people afraid to look at it..."
"But you still lack a scabbard. If you want to go further and enter the circle of politicians, you have to find the scabbard yourself! Don't blame me, master. Although I know where the scabbard you are missing is, I You can’t say it because if you don’t understand something yourself, it will never be profound!”
"You must find the shortcomings of your life by yourself... If you really find it, you will really have the qualifications to become the Chinese Prime Minister! Want to lead the Chinese people forward? You still have one final realization. ah!"
Xiang Ying had no idea that Xiao Letian's indifference was nothing more than the last basin of cold water for quenching the sword. Whether the steel mouth of the sword was strong or not depended not on whether it was OK or OK, but the stimulation of the basin of cold water.
It’s up to you whether you realize it or not!
Against the sea breeze, Xiao Letian lit another cigarette for himself. After taking a deep breath, he suddenly laughed: "Knocking is knocking, but what Xiang Ying said is still right. He can predict the national liberation movement in the next hundred years. This is really What a personal talent!”
"It's funny, haha... It's really funny! I found that Europeans are actually quite stupid. Since the Age of Discovery, the colonies around the world have been colonized for as little as one or two hundred years, and as many as three or four hundred years, but those colonies have not been colonized at all. It cannot be incorporated into its own territory!”
"Look at our Chinese ancestors. If a piece of land were managed by the Chinese for three to four hundred years, it would become fat meat that could never be spit out. It would have been integrated into the country long ago..."
"Ethnic differences? Nonsense. The ethnic groups in Jiangnan and Southwest are even more surprised. Didn't Yunnan, Guizhou, and Sichuan finally merge into one country? Mobei and the Central Plains have been enemies for thousands of years. Are they now the same territory?"
"You guys, these European big noses, just be greedy and continue your cruel and greedy rule! Sooner or later, after these hundreds of years of prosperity, there will be your millennium of decline. This is the inevitable outcome of history!"
"You will reap melons if you sow melons, and you will reap beans if you sow beans. Since you have sown hundreds of years of cruelty and blood debt, do you still want to reap good fruits in the future? Just dream..."
With a whoosh, the bright cigarette butt was bounced into the night sky, and the rotating sparks drew a bright arc and flew straight towards the British warship.
Seeing the cigarette butt extinguished in the waves, Xiao Letian stretched his waist and said, "Let's go to bed and continue working tomorrow!"
Xiao Letian went back to the cabin to take a nap, but Xiang Ying had insomnia. In the captain's cabin, he opened his collection of whiskey and looked up at a large glass.
The ice cubes collided in the crystal cup, and the color of the spirit gradually became lighter in the ice water. Xiang Ying even recalled his life when he was studying in Prussia. This bottle of wine was the trophy he got from a bet with his instructor.
"It was better then. As long as you work hard, your transcript will not lie, and no one can erase your efforts..."
"It's better to be on the battlefield. The enemy is wiped out by cannons, and no one can cover up the military achievements..."
"But why did I get a scolding from Master even though I clearly said the right thing? What did I do wrong... Was I abandoned by Master from the beginning? Am I not worthy of being your disciple at all? ? Why on earth is this..."
A series of questions made Xiang Ying fall into an extremely depressed mood, and then he drank another strong drink.
I don’t know how much time has passed, but the outside of the ice bucket is already full of condensation water, and more than half of the bottle of whiskey has been drained. Xiang Ying’s eyes are red and swollen from drinking.
In a daze, a woman walked into the door. The smell on her body was so familiar and smelled so good!
Cai Bixia locked the cabin, snatched the wine glass from Xiang Ying's hand, and helped him to bed with a frown, "What's wrong with you? What's wrong? There's still a lot of work tomorrow. What do the British think of you being drunk?" What does Rang Yuan think?"
"Haha...Master? Master won't think anything of it. Master has already given up on me. Hahaha, just give up on me... vomit...!" Xiang Ying spat it out all at once.
Cai Bixia kicked him angrily and quickly served him with a basin. After cleaning up the vomited meat, she saw that there was still a lot of melted ice water in the ice bucket on the table, and there were ice cubes floating on it. .
With this little ice water, Cai Bixia made a thick bowl of hangover honey water and drank it for Xiang Ying.
Xiang Ying used to drink well, but today he was just emotionally unstable. The internal discord caused the smell of alcohol to come to his head. He vomited some of it and drank it with iced honey, and his consciousness gradually began to recover.
After stammering for a long time, Cai Bixia finally understood what was going on. The careful woman frowned and analyzed everything in front of her lover.
The old saying is not wrong at all. Behind a successful man there must be a virtuous woman. A virtuous wife and a virtuous husband will bring few disasters. The ancients do not deceive me.
"Fool, you've been fooled!"
"Do you know what it means to be obsessed with the authorities? You are obsessed with it now! Master is right, you should not take the initiative to talk about these things today!"
Cai Bixia's father is Cai Mao, the Minister of War in Ryukyu. The few naval forces in Ryukyu are controlled by their family, and the Cai surname is one of the nine surnames when Taizu of the Ming Dynasty moved to Fujian. This family has been the most important in Ryukyu for hundreds of years. There are so many officials.
Cai Bixia has been exposed to many secrets and unspoken rules in the court since she was a child, while Xiang Ying is just a scholar in the mountains west of Beijing. When it comes to the various unspoken rules in the court, he is definitely at the entry level.
Now it's time for Cai Bixia, a veteran in politics, to instill knowledge into Xiang Ying, a rookie.
