Xiang Ying's eyes were red. "Master, do you know? When we heard in Berlin that our Chinese army actually invaded Beijing, how excited were we?"
"The Han army has captured the city of Beijing. This is the first time in more than two hundred years! This is a blessing for the Han people in the world!"
"But we never expected that less than half a year after we were happy, the bad news came. You actually led your troops out of Beijing again. You also led Emperor Tongzhi out, and you actually became the emperor's advisor?"
"What exactly do you think? Do you really want to be a loyal minister and filial son to the Tartars? There are enough slaves in the world, and you are not missing!"
"We international students can only secretly buy beer, drink it in the rented attic, and then cry! You are our hope, you are the god in our hearts! How can you be What about the Manchu officials? How can you be the master of the little Tartar emperor?"
"If you are interested, you can ask King Yi and Fangguan. They were also in Prussia at that time. They also saw us crying in pain, and they were equally heartbroken!"
"But we are powerless. Who among us can betray you! It can be said that our first life is given by our parents, and our second life is given by you!"
"Without you, we might have been a frog in a well in Asia all our lives. It would have been impossible for us to travel and study in Europe, and we still have such good conditions!"
"We regard you as our father! We can only naively think that you are trying to make peace with Manchu Qingxu because we are weak and have no choice but to hide our clumsiness!"
"We lie to ourselves, but we are not willing to do it! From that moment on, I proposed to form a stormtrooper force! From the day it was formed, our program was to charge forward for you, and we were shameless in all the dirty work. Leave all the work to us!”
"To overthrow the entire Qing Dynasty is the ultimate ideal of our stormtroopers! Drive out the Tartars and return China to us!"
Xiao Letian listened to his apprentice's heartfelt words, his expression neither happy nor sad, very indifferent and calm, because he had already guessed all this.
"Well! It turns out that the Stormtroopers already existed before you brought the Zhiyuan back to China! No wonder, no wonder...no wonder you were able to mobilize the resources of King Wing, it turns out your roots are here!"
"Yes, that's right! The Stormtroopers have become the largest secret organization among the Chinese international students in Europe. I'm not going to hide it from you, two-thirds of the entire international student community has joined the Stormtroopers!"
"So I could send a telegram to my comrades in Europe the moment the mission just set off from Ryukyu. The plan to kill Emperor Tongzhi had actually been revised in the first half of the year!"
"After all, the foundation is our Chinese family's foundation. King Yi and Fang Guan also have to rely on a large number of international students to handle complex affairs. The middle and senior levels are basically members of my stormtroopers!"
"For this assassination, I activated the Kui Zi Group and secretly mobilized 550,000 pounds of funds... King Yi didn't know all this!"
"Of course, I won't hide it from the prince. Before the Dublin uprising, I sent someone to inform King Yi... After all, after the actual action, I also need the prince to help me check the sloppy eyes!"
"Haha... I'm afraid you don't want King Yi to give you a slap in the face, right? Do you want King Yi to wipe your ass? Because you know very well that once Emperor Tongzhi dies, the situation will be chaotic, and there will not be a few heavyweight scapegoats. There’s no way you can escape!”
Xiang Ying's face paled, he paused, and then nodded heavily, "Master is right, I do have such an idea. Once Emperor Tongzhi dies, the Manchu and Qing Dynasties will definitely be unyielding. Before we can reconcile with the Manchu and Qing Dynasties, Before the decisive battle, someone must die to quell the anger of the Eight Banners Group of Tartars!"
"Shi Dakai, who came back from the dead, is definitely a high-level victim... However, I don't want the prince to be a scapegoat. I just hope that the prince can take the initiative to stand up and take the blame himself!"
"Ha!" Xiao Letian slapped his hand fiercely, "What a shrewd calculation! It is simply unreasonable for your kid to be a traitor!"
"Do you want others to take the blame for the evil you did? Hahaha... So smart, really smart!"
Unexpectedly, Xiao Letian's ridicule had no effect at all. Xiang Ying did not feel any shame at all, but smiled lightly, "Master, why did you say this? In the face of the great cause of overthrowing the Manchu Qing Dynasty, there are only two choices: success and failure, and there are What’s the point of taking the blame and not taking the blame?”
"Sacrifice for the great cause is the belief of everyone in the stormtroopers. Death is not terrible! In the same way, King Yi comes from the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. His hatred of the Tartars is a hundred times deeper than ours. Do you really think this is a scapegoat?"
"No, it's not! As long as you can exchange the life of the Tartar Emperor, do you think King Yi will be afraid of death? Hahaha, do you underestimate His Highness King Yi?"
"It's not that I, Xiang Ying, can't die, but it's the result of the stormtroopers' joint discussion and balance. I can still contribute more while alive and be more helpful to our ideals, so I live and others choose to take my place. I'll die!"
"Death is no different, it's just sooner or later. If you die on the ideal road, you won't be able to bargain about sooner or later!"
"That's enough!" Xiao Letian waved his hands distractedly, "Don't play such a righteous drama in front of me. If you want to be sensational, I am your ancestor!"
"Continue to explain everything about you... If you didn't know my strategy while studying in Prussia and had some extreme reactions, it would be excusable. Then when you return to Ryukyu, you will know my ultimate plan." Strategy, you also know very well that my ultimate goal is the same as yours..."
"You clearly know that my fortress plan is ultimately to compete with the Manchu Qing Dynasty for the control of these more than 10 million square kilometers of land. You clearly know it!"
"But why... why do you still want to assassinate Zai Chun? Your crime now is not only the assassination of Emperor Tongzhi, you are also blatantly resisting my established strategy!"
"Answer me! Aren't you very good at speaking? Answer me now!"
Xiao Letian was roaring, and Xiang Ying's face became even paler!
"Fortress plan? Haha, of course I know how wise your fortress plan is, master. It is a great plan that only a genius can come up with!"
"Support Emperor Tongzhi's pro-government, and then in exchange for more industrial zones, such as the Jiaodong Peninsula, Liaodong Peninsula, Wuchang Hankou, and even the future railway lines..."
"Each special zone is an indestructible fortress of our Chinese nation. It is a state within a state under the eyes of the Qing Dynasty. It is also a propaganda window for our system..."
"You want everyone in the world to see the difference and let them see with their own eyes how the Chinese who promote Western learning govern the country and how they bring happiness to the people!"
"Every fortress is a nail wedged into the Qing Dynasty's guts, and it is also a magnet for us to compete for people's hearts!"
"I have never objected to the fortress plan. I think you are doing the right thing, master... What we object to is your attitude towards the Manchus! Why do you want to leave a way for them to survive?"
"Shouldn't blood debts be repaid with blood?"
