The attempted financial strangulation war actually had little impact on the history of the time. Even the public did not know that such a conspiracy existed.
Ignorant people are innocent and happy. In fact, the people in Jiangnan did not know that they were almost bankrupt and thousands of people were almost committed suicide.
The people enjoyed the illusory happiness brought by victory, but the Chinese high-level officials experienced a series of turmoil due to this attempted incident.
Xiang Ying's memoirs in his later years truly recorded many unknown secrets at that time.
When Xiao Letian returned to Ryukyu, Xiao Hexin went to see the Head of State alone in fear. In the Head of State Museum, which was beginning to take shape, Xiao Hexin and Xiao Letian had a secret conversation alone for three hours.
What exactly was discussed is unknown, but after that conversation, Xiao Hexin gradually left his civilian work and became responsible for the research of military strategy.
Real insiders all know that Xiao Hexin's hesitation caused him to lose his future as prime minister. Before this, people thought that Xiao Hexin was one of the important successors to the prime minister after the head of state.
In fact, at that time, Xiao Hexin had already begun to take charge of part of the civil affairs work. This was a training exercise for him by the head of state. This time, he was asked to stay in East Asia and become a left-behind minister, fully responsible for both civil and military aspects. It was a big test!
After the secret conversation, Xiao Hexin was promoted to the rank of marshal in order to reward him for his contribution to liberating Luzon and taking over Annan. However, all his civilian positions were also taken away.
This is a clear promotion but a real reduction. Although a marshal is glorious, his status is far lower than that of a prime minister!
Old shopkeeper Fan Jian retired. After his son-in-law returned to Jiangnan, he chose to retire on the grounds that his body was overwhelmed. Liu Hengzhen took over as the president of the central bank, controlling the Chinese people's right to mint and issue banknotes!
As Sakamoto Ryoma was a monk, he did not receive any promotion, but his training base was moved from Ishiyama Honganji Temple to Ryukyu Daibutsuji Temple, which brought him one step closer to the Chinese political circle.
As for the changes in other people's positions, it is impossible to repeat them one by one. The spokesmen of the capital forces who made the most fuss have all been beaten to a certain extent.
"But the one that has the deepest impact is the torture sentence from the head of state!"
"Do you regard ordinary people in the Qing Dynasty as your own family?"
Just this sentence brought out the inner demons in the hearts of many Chinese people. Who are you hurting under the banner of revenge against the Manchus? Aren’t they Han Chinese who create wealth? Did the Manchus ever create wealth?
I don’t want to understand this fundamental problem. This kind of thing will happen again and again in the future!
From this question, many people later derived a new question: "Is the Chinese really tolerant of all ethnic groups? Is this a truly nationalist country distinguished by cultural ties?"
“Is the Chinese Code a hoax or is it the truth from the head of state?”
If the Chinese really want to dominate the world, how should they face the Manchus, Fusangs, Koreans, Annamites... including the indigenous peoples of Luzon, Borneo and other places?
Kill them all? Enjoy killing?
If the financial strangulation war in Jiangnan really happened, how would all ethnic groups in the world view the Chinese? How would the semi-colonized Fusang people view the Chinese?
How do ordinary Manchus outside the Eight Banners system view the Chinese?
They will definitely think that the Chinese have plundered even the Han people in Jiangnan. Will we still be able to survive in the future? They have to be slaughtered completely!
Once this trend of thought appears, Xiao Letian's century-old plan will completely go bankrupt!
The more he thought about it, the more he became afraid. Xiang Ying felt deep self-blame for himself. Whenever he thought of this in his dream, he would be frightened awake. In his dream, he became the left-behind minister, while Xiao Hexin went to Europe to fight the Franco-Prussian War. .
As a left-behind minister, he frantically launched a war against the enemy. He not only plundered the wealth of Jiangnan financially, but also heavily deployed troops in the capital to fight against Guiziliu's new army.
The killing was really enjoyable, one victory after another, but in the end the dream turned into a nightmare, because he was horrified to find that he could not kill all the enemies.
The enemies in the dream rushed over like waves. At first, they were soldiers with rifles and bayonets. Layer after layer, they were crawling like wheat under the fire of heavy machine guns.
Amidst the sound of heavy artillery, groups of flesh and blood corpses were thrown into the air, turning into a rain of flesh and blood before falling to the ground!
The sky and the earth are full of gunpowder smoke and blood red, the gates of Shura Hell are open, and the evil ghosts are laughing wildly and harvesting human souls!
Killing and killing, all those soldiers were killed. What rushed up were the tattered Eight Banners soldiers and Mongolian cavalry holding big blades and spears.
In the hail of bullets, these kings of the cold weapon age were all reduced to pieces of meat in the dust!
Go ahead and kill them. After all these cold-weapon soldiers were killed, unarmed men, women, and children rushed up overwhelmingly. Countless civilians rushed up and fought with their own soldiers with their teeth and nails.
"We have to live...live...live..."
There were more than tens of millions of enemies on the ground, and the entire city wall of Sijiu City was full of people. Even women and children rushed up!
These people only have one slogan in their mouths, stay alive! For a slogan, they rushed towards their military formation like a flood!
Endless, never-ending, until finally the dream turned into a nightmare, Xiang Ying's army ran out of ammunition and food and was completely overwhelmed by enemies like a zombie wave.
Always at the moment when he fell into the abyss, Xiang Ying was frightened and woke up, sweating profusely and breathing heavily!
After waking up from the nightmare, he wrote furiously in his notebook, "Every person, every nation, and every country will face a serious problem, and that is hatred!"
"History is inherited, even if each of us natural people has a lineage of ancestors that has been passed down to this day... Who can avoid encountering enemies in the long years?"
"Maybe it's a bully in the village, maybe it's a jealous relative, maybe it's a vicious classmate... They have hurt you for various reasons, or they have hurt your father or ancestors..."
"Of course you can take revenge. This is the right of the person who was hurt... but don't fall into the abyss of living for revenge!"
"The best way to get revenge is that I live a better life than you! Xiang Ying, you must remember...strengthening yourself is the best revenge!"
"When you strengthen yourself, you will definitely find that the face of your original enemy has changed...the original contempt, slander, abuse, and beating...are all gone, and all they have left is fear!"
"Only when you are strong enough, your revenge will leave him with no chance to fight back... This way you can enjoy the pleasure of revenge without suffering the backlash from the enemy's power!"
"Most of the people in the world are ignorant and do not know their own abilities... Slaves of hatred always vent their emotions when they are not ready. The final result is that both sides suffer losses!"
Xiang Ying writes quickly, and these words will become the force that spurs him throughout his life. How to get rid of his ego depends on how hard the master whips him!
Xiang Ying improved himself from this failed financial war, but many people could only welcome the return of the head of state in panic!
In a garden house in the Shanghai Concession, a man had been crying bitterly for half an hour while looking at the opium paste in front of him!
