"Master, did you write me a letter?" Zai Chun exclaimed and then subconsciously covered his mouth. At this moment, his eyes were already covered with a layer of moisture.
He thought Xiao Letian had completely abandoned him. After all, he had done something unethical and betrayed his master in Europa. Even if his master took revenge on him, he would have nothing to say.
But she didn't expect that the master would still pay attention to her, and Zai Chun felt warm and shed two tears!
Er Mao withdrew from the Qinzheng Qinxian Hall and stood guard at the gate, blocking the door with his back. He only left Emperor Tongzhi alone with the thoughts of the head of state!
With trembling hands, he tore open the letter of faith. Inside, there were thick pen words written by Xiao Letian himself. The handwriting was very cursory and very small and dense!
No wonder a secret letter was used instead of a telegram. If this large letter were converted into a telegraph newspaper, it would probably be longer than the foot-wrapped memorial of the Hanlin Academy!
And with multiple transcodings, these inner thoughts of the head of state will inevitably be exposed!
The letter begins with a very colloquial "Zaichun, at this moment, you should know that it is difficult for you, right? Don't even think about refuting, I know all these things that happened in Sijiu City!"
"I know what you know, and I know what you don't know. Have those stubborn conservative forces joined forces to fight back against you?"
"Even though I am in Nanyang, I still know how those people will deal with you..."
Tears fell on the letter paper drop by drop. Zai Chun wiped his tears without any hope. In a trance, the majestic palace of the Forbidden City had disappeared. He arrived at the edge of the blue South China Sea again and walked with his master to welcome the sunrise. , go and listen to the master’s teachings!
This is a remote teaching class that spans time and space. There are only two masters and apprentices in this dimension!
The beach on the north coast of Borneo facing the South China Sea is cotton and soft. The white coral sand makes a pleasant rustling sound under your feet. Beach crabs that are frightened by humans crawl all the way back to their nests.
The blue water pushes up layers of white waves crashing towards the beach!
"Master? Master..." Zai Chun looked at Xiao Letian who was getting closer and closer, tears falling like broken pearls.
"Cry, cry, cry... you're worthless, you just received such a small blow and you can't bear it? How can you still control a huge empire of more than 10 million square kilometers like this!"
"Silly boy, the empire you legally rule is the largest empire on earth at the moment!"
"Don't believe the propaganda of Rakshasa ghosts. Since they lost Alaska and then the land in the Far East, these grandsons are no longer number one!"
"Don't worry, when Zuo Zongtang conquers Xinjiang, I will give him more strength to fight for the land in Central Asia and we can keep it... By then, we will still be the great empire with the largest territory in the world!"
"Really? Master, do you really want to help me?" Zai Chun looked up at Xiao Letian, his tears blurring Xiao Letian's figure.
"As you said, if I don't help you, who else can I help? Have you forgotten what the master told you? I said it more than once in Ryukyu and Europe..."
"What I hate is your Eight Banners military system. What I hate is a bunch of parasites that suck the blood of Han people without giving birth!"
"What I hate is your old slavery system that continues among the tribes. Your entire system is completely reversing the course of history!"
"Humanity has entered the industrial age, but you still reek of the lingering stench of slavery!"
"Do you understand? What I hate is only your blood-sucking and enslaving system, but not all the Manchus in the world!"
"Actually, in the Far East, outside the customs, and even in the Central Plains... there are many ordinary Manchus who have separated from the Eight Banners Group due to various historical reasons. They are hardworking and kind-hearted and endure the hardships of life just like the Han people, and they also enjoy the joy of harvest!"
"They are living people, lives worthy of our respect! Why should I hate and hate them? Master, do you think I am a short-sighted person who can knock down a whole boatload of people with one stroke?"
"If you can really reform the bad government and allow the Manchu people to be reborn and integrate into the new era, why should I kill the Central Plains to the point of mountains of bones and rivers of blood?"
"Do you think, master, that I don't have the courage to form a coalition government? I don't even bother to be a king. Do you think I will care about the emperor's position?"
"Child, you have to be a little bigger-minded..."
Xiao Letian pointed at the sea with his hand and held Zai Cheng's shoulder with his other hand. "Child, look at how vast the South China Sea is. Can you not see the edge at a glance?"
"Yes... yes, master, you can't see the side at a glance..." Zai Cheng choked with sobs.
"That's right! What a huge ocean, you can't see the end at a glance. In the eyes of the ancients, standing on the coastline of Guangdong and looking south, wouldn't this be the end of the world?"
"Aren't these overseas islands in Southeast Asia just the overseas fairy mountains and mythical foreign countries they imagined?"
"But at this moment!" Xiao Letian's expression changed, "This sea, the endless South China Sea in your eyes, the end of the world in the eyes of the ancients, has become the inner lake of the Chinese!"
"Hahaha... That's right, the sea you see now is no longer the high seas!"
"The rule of Annan has been transferred from France to our Chinese people. The Ruan family, which recognized the Manchu Qing Dynasty, is currently living in a small impoverished land in the north!"
"He is helpless! Look at Luzon again. This gem of a Spanish colony has completely changed hands under the Chinese soldiers!"
"As for Borneo? Haha... The fact that I can place the future Chinese technology industry here shows that the rule here has begun to penetrate deep into the rainforest and has taken root!"
"The Dutch used to clamor for mediation from all nations and appealed for their colonial rights over Kalimantan! As a result, the Franco-Prussian War ended. Do the Dutch still dare to speak?"
"They are huddled in several ports in southern Borneo right now, shivering and panicking all day long!"
"This sea...has long been an inland lake! It's the inland sea of our Chinese people!"
Xiao Letian grasped Zai Chun's shoulders tightly with both hands, "Do you know how I did it, master? It's actually not difficult, not difficult at all!"
"How big your heart is, how big your world is! How big your structure is, how big the world will be in return for you!"
"If you have no confidence in yourself and treat the South China Sea as the end of the world, then all the achievements I have done will have nothing to do with you!"
"Why can I, Xiao Letian, do it? That's because from the beginning, I have already included the South China Sea in my mind! The layout in my mind can accommodate the entire South China Sea and the entire East Asia!"
"Can you do it? You can't even fit into a small Forty-Nine City. You can't even survive the hardships in front of you. You still want to take charge of this huge empire of more than 10 million square kilometers?"
"You brat! Stand up straight, stop kneeling!"
