The root of the conflict has finally been dug out, and the key to all problems lies in how to treat the Manchus.
Xiao Letian's ultimate goal is to overthrow the rule of the Qing Dynasty and establish a multi-ethnic constitutional country. This goal will never waver, so the Qing Dynasty will definitely perish in the hands of the Chinese.
But how to destroy the Qing Dynasty, and how to deal with the Manchus after the Qing Dynasty was destroyed? On this issue, serious differences have emerged at this moment.
In Xiao Letian's plan, the Chinese are not a narrow nation divided simply by blood and culture. The Chinese are actually a broad collection of ethnic groups.
Any ethnic group that lives in Asia, is emotionally close to Chinese civilization, and is willing to accept the constraints of the Chinese code can be regarded as a potential member of the Chinese community.
Of course, the Han people are destined to be the majority of the Chinese nation, but other ethnic groups also have the right to integrate into the Chinese nation. As long as they accept the culture of Chinese civilization, are willing to accept the constraints of the Chinese code, and shoulder its responsibilities, they will naturally be able to enjoy the Chinese culture. rights of clan members.
The temporary difference between the prophetic texts is not a big deal. As the three generations merge, they will naturally gradually assimilate into the Chinese and Hanzi cultural circles.
This is the root of everything. What Xiao Letian wants to ensure is that the entire Chinese nation accepts the Chinese language, Hanzi and the culture of Chinese civilization. As long as this is guaranteed, even if each republic has its own political system and its own political model, it does not matter. .
For example, in the Far East, the natural climate and the education level of the indigenous people are destined to be very suitable for a constitutional monarchy, so Xiang Shaolong can be called the King of the Far East.
However, because Borneo is located in the prosperous Southeast Asia, it has received more impact from Western ideas. It is natural to try the American model here, and it does not matter if it establishes a republican system.
The best is to adapt to local conditions, but one thing is that we must accept the assimilation of Chinese culture. To put it bluntly, after three generations, Chinese language and Chinese characters must be 100% popularized. This is Xiao Letian's bottom line and iron goal.
As long as cultures converge, then all the strange differences on the surface will not matter. The centripetal force of culture is unimaginably strong, especially language and writing.
One of the most important prerequisites for long-term unity is the consistency of the main culture. If the writing, language and culture are different, then it can only be a long-term separation.
Xiao Letian is pursuing the great integration of nationalities in the next few hundred years, so his strategy is more far-reaching, and he takes this more and more into consideration in his actions.
Only then did the follow-up fortress plan come into being, supporting Emperor Tongzhi to seize power personally, and then through Emperor Tongzhi to obtain more special zones in the Qing Dynasty.
These special zones are display windows for people all over the world to see whether the Chinese nation created by Xiao Letian, this innovative system based on the matrix of Chinese civilization, is more advanced than the old path of the past.
Only through comparison can we see the gap and truly influence people's hearts. It's not enough to shout slogans in vain. You have to let hundreds of millions of people see with their own eyes. It turns out that you follow the Manchus and those rotten Confucian people. I can’t even get enough of the steamed buns.
And those who invest in the Chinese system not only have enough to eat, but also gain dignity and respect. Their children can receive the best education, and those who work hard can get a better life.
Even those who have gained military exploits in the military can obtain titles through their own efforts, thereby completely changing the social status of their families. This is Xiao Letian's trump card to win the hearts of the people.
Xiao Letian believed that once this military independent fortress plan was implemented for ten years, the two hundred years of brainwashing education by the Manchus and cynics would be destined to collapse.
Telling a lie ten thousand times is not as good as a bowl of braised pork, or as good as a good future for your own children.
The future is bright, and Xiao Letian is full of confidence. Precisely because he has this confidence, he is not so aggressive in dealing with the Manchu group.
Xiao Letian could temporarily choose to cooperate with the Manchus. Even the false title he held in the Prime Minister's Yamen has not been withdrawn until now, and he even added the status of Imperial Master later.
The Chinese's sphere of influence did not prohibit the capital of Eight Banners disciples from entering. At this moment, there were indeed many princes and nobles in Sijiu City secretly investing in the Chinese.
Many Eight Banners nobles did not hide their gold and silver in cellars, but deposited it in Chinese banks to earn interest, and even directly cooperated with Chinese businessmen to open some factories.
For example, Qing Sanye, through Xiao Letian's relationship, combined the funds of several Eight Banner nobles to build a match factory, a nail factory, and a small metal processing factory in the Northern Industrial Zone to produce some shovels, iron picks, etc. farm tools.
Since he could get high-grade steel, Qing Sanye's products were of absolutely high quality. The steel mouths of the farm tools he produced even exceeded the weapons made by the Ministry of War of the Qing Dynasty. You can imagine how easy it was to sell these farm tools and nails.
Xiao Letian is using economic, military, cultural, financial... and other means to begin to corrupt the Eight Banners Group of the Manchu Qing Dynasty. His ultimate goal is to severely punish the leader of the thieves, give light sentences under coercion, and make the people innocent!
There may be several more military conflicts between the Chinese and the Manchus in the future, but the kind of great dynasty-changing battles that swept across the country will definitely not happen.
Xiao Letian wants to use Zai Chun's hand to engage in a war of attrition with the stubborn Eight Banners thieves. When both of them drain their blood, the Chinese will naturally reap the benefits.
Once the civil war between the Manchus and the Qing Dynasty started, Zai Chun was destined to reach out to the world for help. Even if the British would help some, they would be far away and unable to quench their thirst. In the end, he would have to ask for help from his master.
By then, there will be no free lunch. Every arms aid and every financial support will come at a price. Only then will the Chinese truly encroach on the land of China.
The fortress plan will be in full bloom, and the Chinese economy will definitely smash the fragile small-scale peasant economy of the Manchu and Qing Dynasties and establish a new order.
When all the economic activities of the people of the Qing Dynasty were controlled by the Chinese, the Manchu Qing court only had the last protective umbrella of justice and fame.
When Zai Chun, who had won a tragic victory, sat firmly on the throne, Taicai discovered that the Qing Dynasty was no longer the Qing Dynasty in the past, and the economic lifeline of the entire country had been completely controlled by the Chinese.
The rumbling Chinese spinning mills have destroyed small farmers' handicraft workshops, and industrially produced textiles are sold cheaply and in large quantities.
The food allocated by the Chinese from around the world began to impact the fragile agricultural foundation of the Qing Dynasty. Food prices were completely controlled by Chinese businessmen, and even grain embargoes became an important means for the Chinese to punish dissidents.
The railways will also be controlled by Chinese capital. Chinese steam boats will run on the Grand Canal, and Chinese ocean-going fleets will run on the Yangtze River.
Even people from all over the world have a few banknotes printed by the Chinese in their pockets.
As long as the economic aggression is completed, the Manchus will never have a chance to make a comeback. At that time, the most difficult negotiations will begin. As long as Emperor Tongzhi is not crazy enough to attempt suicide, then he will have to consider whether King Shangtai's path is the right one. It works.
The leader of the thieves must be severely punished. This is to give an explanation to the world and deter all the conservatives who are unwilling to give up.
The purpose of lenient sentences and coercion is to stabilize the situation and prevent the Manchus from jumping over the wall in a hurry.
The innocence of the people is the top priority of the policy. chapter;
