Before Xiao Letian traveled through time, it was difficult to understand why ancient people were so resistant to new technologies. Why were they defeated by Westerners time and time again, but why were they still unwilling to change and accept new things?
Why are humans so stubborn and unwilling to accept change? What exactly is the reason here?
In fact, only if you personally travel through the past and enter that group of people in person can you truly find out the reason!
Because that was an era when idealism was paramount. In any society, let alone the Qing Dynasty, even 99% of the people in Europe were superstitious!
The power of religion is unimaginable, and its ability to control people's hearts has been developed since infancy!
In the eyes of people like Yi Kuang, it is not just Yi Kuang, he is actually one of the minds of hundreds of millions of Qing citizens!
They really believe in gods and Buddhas, really believe in hell, and really believe that there are all kinds of demons and monsters in the world!
If Xiao Letian moved those popular fantasy and fairy tale online novels in the 21st century to the Qing Dynasty, do you really think these people would not take those bizarre and absurd plots seriously?
Journey to the West, The Romance of the Gods, and even the Legend of Shushan Swordsman during the Republic of China... Of course the most typical one is Liaozhai!
Such books were not myths and legends in ancient times. In fact, people regarded these books as documentary literature!
Documentary! Documentary! What is recorded is true!
Important things are said three times. In the eyes of ancient people, these books are very serious documentary literature!
Be it the Bible or the Buddhist scriptures or the Taoist Canon, people in the 21st century classify them as religious books, but in that era, these books were also official histories that recorded facts!
Yikuang's performance today is definitely not acting. It is a voice from the heart. This is a thought shared by him and many people!
Railway locomotives roared on the earth, blast furnaces spewed black smoke, and the molten steel flowed into a river of flames... Hundreds of thousands of tons of hydraulic presses can shape steel like dough!
what are these? These are hellish scenes, these are all demonic things that want to destroy the feng shui of the Qing Dynasty!
And in their hearts, there is indeed a whole set of theories that they believe to be true, such as the legend of the ancestral dragon veins of the Eastern Kunlun Mountains and the enchantment of the ancient East!
The evil spirits from the West have tried to invade every time, but as a result, the three orthodox schools of Buddhism, Taoism and Confucianism from the East have united to slay the demons and protect the Heavenly Kingdom!
In an era of conflicts where civilizations blend, a series of legends, invasions and guardianships will naturally appear. Beyond the appearance of the human world, there is also an invisible world at war!
There are indeed a large number of officials and people with hatred and resistance towards those special economic zones for Chinese ethnic groups, because they were instigated by many people with ulterior motives!
Western technologies are the refining techniques of Western devils. Special zones and concessions are bridgeheads and beachheads for Western devils to invade the Central Plains!
Since the beginning of the Opium War, the war of hellish western evil invasion has lost its opening stage. In the hearts of those who consider themselves smart, the ancestors and gods of the East are working hard to accumulate strength and prepare to fight back!
Who are you, Emperor Tongzhi? You are the emperor, you are the son of the Eastern God System. Should you join the big guys in fighting back against the Western evil?
Why did you fall first, and why do you even want to bring that hell-like industrial zone to the capital?
How many demons and ghosts must be hidden in a special zone of more than 500 hectares? How many fire demons in the blast furnaces will take shape on God knows what day, and then burn all over and kill towards the Forbidden City?
Such a horrific scene must never happen! Therefore, countless people in the Qing Dynasty must rise up and fight. Resisting Western technology is to resist the attack of Western evil spirits!
Yikuang cried and made such a fuss in the Yangxin Hall, and the camp immediately became chaotic. There were noisy voices everywhere, people were whispering to each other, and even the eunuchs forgot the rules and murmured in low voices!
Zai Chun has always been mentally prepared. He knows that many people are very superstitious and will not accept new Western technology! But no matter how much mental preparation you have made, you will still be trembling with anger when you see it in front of you!
Such ignorance is simply unimaginable!
"That's enough! You are also the prince of the Qing Dynasty. You have lost your face in the court meeting. Everything you said today will be recorded in historical records!"
"You want to be a laughing stock in the eyes of future generations, but I'm not willing to do that!"
"What era are you in? You still don't want to accept new technology. Your mind is full of nonsense!"
"Back when foreigners were promoting telegraph line technology, don't you insist that the wires were filled with ghosts transmitting messages, and you even said that it was a lie to swindle money!"
"What happened in the end? You have to let the head of state lead his soldiers and force you with swords and guns before you are willing to take a look at the telegraph experiment!"
"How are you now? A slap in the face, right? Telegraph technology is already a mature technology in the West, and it is the most effective information communication tool for governing the country!"
"Why are you not making trouble now? Why are all the provinces begging the Qing Telegraph Bureau to build more telegraph lines? Yikuang, answer me, is this telegram sent by a kid?"
The scolding made Yi Kuang, who was grinning and crying, forget to shed tears!
Zai Chun then said angrily, "You never believe that people can fly in the sky, but the head of state released a hot air balloon in the capital!"
"None of you are willing to believe that there is such a force as the air force in this world, but the Chinese and Prussian coalition forces in Europe can already use war airships to make tactical breakthroughs!"
"By the way... you didn't even believe that this steel could be used to build big ships earlier, but Westerners not only built it but also used it to build warships!"
"You don't believe anything, but in the end reality slaps you in the mouth again and again. Doesn't your face hurt? Isn't it swollen? Isn't it embarrassing?"
"Now that the capital is building a steel plant, you are going to be evil again!"
"The hell scene you mentioned is actually nothing more than environmental pollution! A small amount of pollution in one place at a time can be exchanged for powerful industrial power!"
"Can't you see that the advantages outweigh the disadvantages? Are you Yikuang blind?"
"Since you said that all the people in the West are evil spirits, then why did the Qing Dynasty buy so many weapons made by evil spirits?"
"Isn't every foreign gun and cannon in Xishan Camp's hands refined by the fire demon in your mouth? Why do you use them the same way?"
"All this has been spent? When the foreign devils come in, will you, Yikuang, block the mouth of the cannon with your belly?"
With a snap, Zai Chun punched the throne, "Haha, don't think I don't know, there are many of you who still believe in Fuqi Zhan!"
"You even believe that drinking talisman water makes you invulnerable! Have you never seen it before? Have you never called me good?"
"Okay! Someone...invite Prince Qing to the courtyard and ask him to perform a chest gag for us!"
"As long as you Yikuang can block a bullet from a foreign gun today, I will stop thinking about building the iron factory from today on!"
"Drag it out... drag it out for me..."
Zai Chun screamed angrily, and Yi Kuang's face on the ground turned pale with fright!
