When the topic comes to this point, it is no longer just about such an assassination case. Xiao Letian has spent so much time talking. In fact, he just wants to wake up Xiang Ying and remind him that militarism is just a dream.
"Why did you want to exterminate the Manchus?" Xiao Letian asked sadly, "Are you doing it for the good of our Chinese people, for the good national destiny of China for hundreds of years, or are you just doing it to relieve hatred?"
"I think the latter reason is bigger!"
Xiao Letian looked at Xiang Ying regretfully, "You are a disciple I have high hopes for. I have given you small classes alone more than once. You should be able to understand what I am thinking..."
"No one can guarantee that their choices will bring long-term peace and stability to a nation. I can't, and neither can the saints in history. All I can do is make peace and prosperity last longer..."
"Even if the Chinese can successfully overthrow the Manchu Qing and Dingding Zhonghua, you have to understand that the Chinese will fall sooner or later. Maybe it will be a hundred years later, maybe it will be two hundred years later. But no matter what, there will be prosperity and decline. As long as there is life, there must be death! This is just the law of nature!"
“What I value is not actually the hundreds of years of life that the Chinese people will have in the end. What I value more is what valuable things the Chinese people can leave to human history during the entire process of rise, prosperity, and decline! "
"There is no eternal empire, but there are eternal ideas! Ancient Greece and Rome have perished, but the spirit of ancient Greece and Rome will last forever!"
"The Qin and Han Dynasties have left us far away, and the glory of the Sui and Tang Dynasties has also been lost in the long river of history. The scholars of the Song Dynasty are still singing in lyrics and music, but the children and grandchildren of the Zhao family have long forgotten the glory of their ancestors!"
"But these perished dynasties will always exist in the memory of our Chinese civilization. Everything they experienced is actually nourishing our spirit to this day!"
"What kind of image do the Chinese want to show in the long course of history? What words will our descendants use to describe what we have done a thousand years from now?"
"Are your and my names respected by people or reviled forever?"
"Xiang Ying, tell me, what exactly can you gain from what you do? Can you increase the future national prosperity of the Chinese nation? Or can you make our Chinese nation shine brightly in historical memory?"
"Haha, it's just hatred! What else can you gain from what you do, apart from letting the alien race use all their strength to fight you? I'm afraid that our Chinese clan has a prosperous country of Zuo for three hundred years, and by that time, we will have to let your indiscriminate killings give us hope. Half off!”
"As for the reputation of future generations, don't even think about it. I'm afraid that the descendants of the Chinese people in a thousand years will sigh and shake their heads when they mention the Chinese people! What achievements can a regime that only knows how to engage in genocide contribute to human civilization? It's just that. It’s just a piece of chicken feathers…”
"Haha, of course, you also have your historical achievements! Use negative teaching materials to let future generations know not to learn from the Chinese. The kind of ethnic massacre carried out by the Chinese is doomed to fail in the end. Provide some negative teaching materials to future generations. , your life can be considered to have some meaning!"
"Why is your face so pale? Why are you shaking? Are you scared? What about your arrogance and arrogance just now? Go ahead and kill Zaichun, kill everyone in the world, how capable you are!"
"Your biggest crime is to instill this kind of bloody murderous thought in the army, and then you still want to use this kind of thought to kidnap me! You kid is so ambitious!"
"No...I...I'm not..." Xiang Ying was trembling all over and his face was pale. Under Xiao Letian's fierce words, he had no power to fight back. Only then did he realize that he thought he had learned the eight skills of the master. thing.
But after the real fight, he realized that the master's thoughts were like the abyss under the Pacific Ocean, and he was far from being able to pry into the details!
"Master...Master...you are exaggerating a bit...I...we have also deduced the reactions of alien races, but they are not as pessimistic as you say!"
Xiang Ying, who mustered up the courage, wanted to retort: "You have always said that the Manchus, the Mongols, the Tibetan people, and the ethnic minorities in the Western Regions are allied, and they work together to squeeze the oil and water from the Central Plains..."
"But we don't think so. Throughout the history of the Manchus, the battles between them and the frontiers were endless! You said that the Mongols and the Manchus are in an alliance, so is Galdan a Mongolian? What happened to the war during the Kangxi period?"
"Tibet must have good relations with the Manchus? The Jinchuan and Jinchuan areas are all Tibetans. During the Qianlong period, Fukang Anke fought all the way to the plateau!"
"There is also the current Huibu rebellion and the invasion of the Western Region by Central Asian Aguba. What does this mean? It shows that the Manchus' rule over these foreign races is not monolithic, and they also have conflicts!"
"As long as we can divide and divide, as long as we can recruit one group and then another, support our own spokesmen, and then eliminate those troublemakers, I don't believe that we Chinese can't rule this more than a thousand kilometers of land. land!"
"Is this your reason? This is the reason you finally used to convince me? You...you let me down so much!" Xiao Letian looked extremely distressed.
The hour hand of the pocket watch was almost pointing to twelve o'clock, but the debate in the study still had no result. Xiang Ying's stubbornness was unexpected.
"Xiang Ying...it seems that you haven't really understood the root cause of the war until now? I'm really sorry!"
"Let me ask you, why have the foreign races in the Central Plains always been at war with the Central Plains in their long history? Why do their butcher's knives never stop?"
"Why did Britain take such great risks to go to war with the Qing Dynasty? And why?"
"It's the economy, my child. All the contradictions behind it are actually the operation of the economy and the flow of money!"
"Why have the northern nomads been at war with the Han people for thousands of years? That's because their economy is extremely fragile. They can't survive without the circulation of goods from the Central Plains!"
"The Han people may only need their cattle, mutton, furs, herbs and other agricultural and sideline products, but these nomads need everything produced by the entire Han economy!"
"Without ironware, salt, tea bricks and cheap and high-quality textiles, how can you let the nomads survive? This in itself is a serious trade deficit. This is a tragic situation where the lifeblood of survival is pinched by the Han people!"
"The Han people can live a good life without eating their beef and mutton, wearing their fur clothes, or using the products of the nomads, but can the nomads be separated from the products of the Central Plains?"
"No! To escape is to die! It is to perish!"
"During the Ming Dynasty, didn't the Central Plains rely on trade embargoes to control the size of the nomads in the north? In the end, the Mongols were forced to go south to plunder. You can say that these are barbarians, but if you look at them from their standpoint In order to survive, they have no choice!"
“Even if we completely open the border and allow Han caravans to trade with the grasslands without restrictions, the result will not be much better, because the grasslands need too many commodities from the Central Plains, and the Central Plains needs too few commodities from the grasslands! "
"The result of this can only be that the precious metal currency of the grassland continues to flow out, getting less and less. In the end, these nomadic people may not even have the power to buy. If a nation has the basis of commercial trade, If the money is gone, how can we still survive?”
"Bartering? But what do they have that the people of the Central Plains value?" chapter;
