Relying on foreigners’ self-respect! These four words hit Fu Hui's heart, making her unable to breathe!
With a nameless anger, Fu Hui raised her hand and said something like a slap, causing Zhu Bao to spin half a circle on the spot!
The sound alarmed the maids in the distance. Ping'er and others wanted to take a look, but found that Zhu Bao had been slapped and kneeled on the ground.
He said with a mournful face, "My aunt deserves to be beaten by my nephew, but my nephew is really sincere!"
"Shit! Do you still have a sincere heart? Are you embarrassed or not, you can say such things... Our Qing Dynasty is in such trouble because of weaklings like you!"
"A good man doesn't want to be self-reliant, but he wants to accept a foreigner as his father. Aren't you embarrassed? Are you still relying on foreigners to respect yourself? Your ancestors have all been disgraced!"
Ping'er had just walked a few steps when she suddenly heard this. She was so frightened that she quickly stopped. Not only did she not go forward, but she also didn't let the other maids and servants move forward even half a step!
Ping'er is such a smart person. He knows that he can't get involved at this time. Hearing even half a word is a sin. At this moment, he can only hide as far away as possible!
The crowd dispersed quietly. Zhu Bao lowered his head and said aggrievedly, "Aunt... what you said is absolutely correct. There is nothing wrong with it. My nephew has also read books and knows his shame!"
"But you can't just think about face in life, you have to face reality, aunt!"
"How about Long Live Lord? He should be the toughest person in the Qing Dynasty, right? But he has to be scared when he meets foreigners! The late emperor ran to Chengde when he met foreigners, and now he has to flatter foreigners even when he comes to Europe!"
"Why? Isn't it because we are no longer as powerful as others, so we have no choice but to rely on others' strength!"
"If you insist on talking about the topic of failure to live up to expectations, then can my nephew say that Emperor Kangxi, Emperor Yongzheng, Emperor Qianlong... they all failed to live up to expectations?"
"Our ancestors didn't make steel well, repair warships well, and go overseas to grab gold and silver... As a result, our descendants were bullied..."
"You..." Fu Hui raised her hand and was about to hit her when she heard such treasonous words. Zhu Bao was also a ruthless person. He closed his eyes and moved the half of his face towards his aunt's hand, which meant that he was ready to hit you!
Fu Huiqi's heart was beating wildly, but she couldn't refute those words just now! Yes, who is to blame for the world being like this? Who should be blamed?
Did Emperor Tongzhi fail to live up to expectations? Emperor Xianfeng is fatuous? Daoguang is useless? Or continue to complain about Jiaqing, Qianlong, Yongzheng, and Kangxi?
Going forward and complaining, is it a mistake for Shunzhi to enter the customs? Indeed, the foreign devils have been making steel and sailing since the Ming Dynasty, and the ancestors of the Eight Banners did nothing!
oh! It seems that these Han people are still to blame. Who told them not to engage in large-scale navigation during the Ming Dynasty? What about new technology?
But if the Ming Dynasty had started its great voyages and started building new cannons and rifles, would it still have had the Qing Dynasty's two hundred years of power? Can you still beat it? Still want to enter?
This is a confusing account, and women really can’t figure it out!
When Zhu Bao saw that his aunt didn't hit him, he naturally had the courage to continue saying, "Aunt... We, the Qing Dynasty, have suffered so much, and we have actually learned a truth, that is, closing the country in isolation will not work!"
"In today's world, you can't live alone if you don't deal with outsiders. If you don't want to do business with others, they will bombard you with cannons and force you to open the country!"
"This is reality. You have to bow your head! In today's world, you have to open your eyes and recognize the reality. You know that Western power is so powerful and it is a force that we cannot refuse at all!"
"We can't hide. Not only can't we hide, but we also need to make good use of the power inside!"
"Anyway, Long Live Master has figured it out. Since you want to be in power, you have to fight with the political opponents! If you want to carry out the Qing Dynasty's Westernization Reform and industrialization, you have to defeat the old guard first!"
"But the conservative faction is too powerful, and Long live the Lord himself is not strong enough... Then we have to ask for help from powerful people. If foreigners are powerful, we have to borrow them. Even if we let them make some profits, we still have to cooperate!"
"This is a man who understands! Your Majesty has finally understood, and we must also understand!"
"Including my uncle, he is a very understanding person. The Chinese people have never stopped cooperating with the West... To put it bluntly, my uncle's power has become so great now. Didn't he borrow the rise of Prussia in the East?"
"When it comes to relying on foreigners to show self-respect! My uncle is the first!"
Fu Hui was so angry that he could not refute a word of what his nephew said, because it was the truth!
When Zhu Bao saw that there was a way, he immediately took a few steps and approached his aunt, "Aunt! My nephew, please make it simpler! This self-respecting thing doesn't sound good. Let's call it a joint venture business!"
"Business in the world is not just what it seems on the surface. Sometimes the fights in the court and the power and profit are also business!"
"To put it bluntly, my uncle, the eldest wife and the second wife, are just two businesses. Those who are interested should choose carefully and make a bet!"
"The purpose of raising funds by investing in shares and betting on the eldest lady is also for the future benefits of my cousin when he takes power!"
"The purpose of investing in the second lady is of course for the interests of the Fan family's grandson after he becomes emperor!"
"Including the British investing in Long Live Lord, they are also aiming to profit from so many business transactions in the future after the industrialization of the Qing Dynasty!"
"It's such a simple thing! Why can't you think about it? You get angry and curse at others when you talk about relying on foreigners to show your self-respect? You obviously want to do this political fighting business, but you don't have enough capital. How dare you not raise funds to do it?"
"If you don't have enough capital, it won't be enough. If you have the guts, you can use the capital?"
"Haha... Let me tell you, my uncle and your majesty are smart people. They know what the trend of the future will be, so they must adapt to it in advance!"
"Let me give you the simplest example! Auntie, if you think about it, the world is so vast. It is conceivable that Europa's strong position will not be shaken for hundreds of years!"
"With the speed of development of countries like Europe, the gap between us and the Qing Dynasty will become wider and wider in the future!"
"But this partnership business is all about mutual restraint and balance of power. If the gap is too big, the weaker one will definitely be bullied!"
"What should we do? It's impossible for the Western nation's fortunes to suddenly turn around. They will only get stronger and stronger, and it will be easier and easier to bully us in the future!"
"Faced with this reality, smart people can only have one choice! That is to cooperate with others early and improve their own strength early!"
"Your Majesty is cooperating with the British at this moment, and they are evenly matched, because the British provide money, technology and talents, but they also need the rights of the Lord, the land of the Lord, and the population of the Lord!"
"Because we need each other, the British must also treat Long Live the Lord equally. This cooperation should be quite reasonable!"
"But my uncle's cooperation with foreigners is a different situation!"
