After years of experience, Xiao Letian is no longer the excited boy he was before. Even the flames of the Franco-Prussian War have never caused him to have mood swings!
But he didn't know what happened. Seeing the pitiful end of tens of thousands of bannermen in the capital, his heart couldn't help but feel sad!
What kind of emotion is this? Obviously these people are Manchus and Bannermen. Why should I care about their life and death? Why should I be moved by their suffering?
Is this compassion the kindness of a woman?
God knows what this is, maybe it is a kind of cultural empathy. Xiao Letian understands that no matter how cruel he is, he will never be able to genocide the Manchu group!
These people speak the same language, use the same words, and have the same moral standards as themselves. Even the food culture, customs, and people are exactly the same!
We have the same festivals, the same joys and sorrows, all of which have been naturally connected together. With so much in common, Xiao Letian will never be able to ignore everything in front of him!
No matter what their identity is, the suffering they suffered tonight is real. Even if it is retribution, they should have their own share of people's hearts!
Xiao Letian looked at the bannermen kneeling on the street, looked up at the tigers who followed him forward, and said loudly!
"The bravest soldiers of the Chinese nation! Today, I am here in the imperial capital of the Ming and Qing dynasties to teach you this final and perfect lesson!"
"I know, I know very well that you have doubts about my orders, and even resist them! But you dare not disobey my orders, because I am your legal head of state, and I was elected by you!"
"I, Xiao Letian, have the ability to train each of you ordinary people into the most powerful soldiers in the world!"
"Think about what you were like ten years ago? Then look at who you are today, how proud you are!"
"You have been on an expedition to Vladivostok, set foot in Fuso Kyoto, and you even conducted a victory parade in Paris, France! You have proven with practical actions that you are the most powerful soldiers on the earth!"
"Who taught you this? Who shaped you into who you are today?"
The entire army was moved, from officers to soldiers, standing at attention and saluting, "It's the head of state! The soul of the Chinese nation! The head of state! The soul of the Chinese nation!"
"Okay! Okay! So even if you are dissatisfied and unwilling, you still have to execute my order without any discount!"
"I know that you are unwilling to save these bannermen from the bottom of your heart! Because your hearts are full of resentment towards these people, and they are just Tartars in your mouth!"
"You hate them. You want them all to die in this civil war tonight, and we will just sit back and watch! Right? Touch your chest, is that what you think?"
"No need to answer me, that's what you think, answer your own heart!"
Xiao Letian was silent for a moment, and when he raised his head again, his eyes were sharper than before. "I tell you! You are wrong, a big mistake! I, Xiao Letian, can teach you the unique skills of how to kill people in this world!"
"I will also teach you today what the true path to salvation is!"
"Soldiers not only need to kill, they also need to know how to redeem! And killing and redemption are intertwined to protect! Your accusations are your duty as a soldier!"
"Today I, Xiao Letian, have to make up for the last missing piece in your hearts, just like Nuwa patching up the sky!"
"Go and save the person in front of you, no matter what his identity is, no matter what hatred his ancestors have against you! Even if you are really guilty, you must wait until tomorrow for a fair and just trial, instead of watching the fun like a wretched mouse right now!"
"If those people you save are guilty of death, tomorrow's law will stand in the sun and judge them! But tonight, these people are all suffering people, and they are all living beings!"
Xiao Letian spread his arms and looked at his tiger with tears in his eyes, "My brother! My compatriot!"
"What kind of Chinese nation do we want to create? Is it an ultra-nationalist country with only narrow-minded hatred?"
"My brothers! My compatriots! Have you ever thought about where the future pinnacle of our Chinese race will be?"
"We are a nation that will one day challenge the Empire on which the sun never sets. We will one day lead the pulse of the entire earth!"
"Do we want to be the top nation in the world a hundred years from now? Or are we just a small power in East Asia struggling to survive?"
"What do you want? I, Xiao Letian, started from scratch and have come to this day. Why do you obey me? Because I have the world in my heart, but others don't!"
"If you had the whole world and the whole world in your heart, you wouldn't be blinded by these ridiculous hatreds!"
"This is the last lesson I give you! I can make you a killing devil, and I can also refine you into a redeeming god!"
"Me! The great cause that Xiao Letian will bring to you! It's something you can't even imagine in your lifetime!"
"Break your selfish and paranoid hearts! Starting tonight, I will teach you this last lesson!"
Silly! Everyone at the scene was dumbfounded! Both the bannermen who fled for their lives and the soldiers who had been following the head of state were stunned by this deafening speech and lost the ability to think!
"The world! The top of the world's nations! Replace Britain and become the next empire on which the sun never sets!"
"The head of state wants to lead the Chinese nation to stand at the pinnacle of human civilization!"
"This is not the human realm! This is the vast universe that only gods can peer into!"
The next second was the earth-shattering cheers of "Long live! Long live! Long live!"
Just like the scorching sun piercing the dark clouds in the sky, the Chinese officers and soldiers seemed to have suddenly smashed through some layer of ridiculous and shameful shells in their souls. At that moment, their pure and simple hearts truly came into contact with the sky and the earth!
It turns out that our cause is so great, and our struggle is closely related to the future of mankind!
The Chinese army finally turned into a dragon at this moment. This army finally reached its invincible peak!
There had never been such an army in the 19th century. After Xiao Letian trained an iron army that did not fight for money, the global military community was in admiration!
Where in the world is there an army that does not fight bravely to kill the enemy just for money and fame? Even Europe's top soldiers armed with ultra-nationalist ideas cannot be without a little bit of selfishness. The French army will still have no combat effectiveness without pay!
But at this moment, the Chinese army has once again transformed. They can actually transcend hatred and risk their lives by relying on their strong inner beliefs and pursuit of ideals!
They gave up money and hatred, and still maintained a strong combat effectiveness. This kind of army should not exist in the world of the 19th century!
The Four Heavenly Kings took a step back and respectfully saluted Xiao Letian, the young man they met in Taihang Mountain!
"You have changed your heart! Xiao Letian, you are not a human being... You have given us all a new heart!"
