History will not record everything. What humans can see is just a few leaves, petals or debris that have floated on the surface in the long river of history!
More things are hidden deep under the water, and there will never be any day to come out!
Not to mention the secrets in history, even for those famous figures in human history, no one can guarantee that all their thoughts will be preserved!
Those notes, letters, manuscripts, writings...it would be good if half of them could be passed down to the world. Fires, floods, thieves, jealous colleagues, and even conspiratorial politicians!
People always choose what to keep or destroy according to their own interests!
Big Beard, this great man who will never be forgotten by future generations, has also been affected by such a curse. Where can his life's writing be made public to the world?
It was as if he was writing furiously at this moment. These thick manuscripts were not published while he was alive, and no one discovered them a hundred years after his death!
But when these manuscripts appear again, their value will surely shock the world!
The coffee was already cold, the room was filled with thick smoke, the children had gone to bed, and the bearded man was the only one in the attic!
Living conditions have really improved a lot, and there are more Chinese friends who sponsor him. There are always unknown book friends asking him for some autographed letters, and the newspapers left by the Chinese in Europe are also very willing. Give him a high royalties!
Life can finally be lived, and all this depends on that wise friend from the East. Although we only met once, it seems as if we have known him for thousands of years!
From that moment on, Big Beard has been paying attention to all the changes in the East, and he can always get some semi-public information for research!
We are half a world apart, but we can't stop the collision of sparks of thought!
"I was shocked to see the great changes in East Asia. The huge and clumsy Qing Empire regrettably embarked on a seemingly correct path of no return!"
"I can't describe how I feel at this moment, because I know that this change was driven by my old friend, and this change is also the trend of history!"
"But I still feel a little sad, because I clearly saw the end of the Qing Empire. They were helpless against the conspiracy of my old friend!"
"There is an idiom in the East called Pao Ding Jie Niu, which means that the most skilled butcher can make the cow eat without any feeling or pain. This is a terrifying skill!"
"And the Qing Empire fell into this old friend's scheme of cooking the ox and getting rid of the ox and was unable to extricate itself!"
"The master of stirring up people's hearts used the most terrifying ability of the financial market to demagogue people's hearts and tear the Manchu and Qing Eight Banners system, which was originally as unbreakable as an iron plate, into pieces!"
"No one can resist the magic of the financial market. This is a magical place where paupers can become millionaires overnight!"
"Normal people will be lost in their mentality, let alone those born gamblers! Politicians are a group of people with strong gambling habits, and these politicians of the Qing Empire... Unfortunately, they are not like Westerners. Politicians trained through education!”
"They are just a group of politicians inherited by blood. They are close to the center of power but do not have any education and training as politicians themselves. Such a group cannot resist the temptation of the financial market!"
"Money blinds the eyes of incompetent politicians, while outstanding politicians, such as Emperor Tongzhi, Prime Minister and other high-ranking officials, are tightly controlled by the curse of industrialization!"
"Industrialization is a double-edged sword, which not everyone can control!"
"The Prime Minister and some emerging Westernization officials, including the admirable young emperor of the Qing Dynasty, are all very outstanding talents. They can restrain their greed for the financial market and can truly control a country. politician!"
"But unfortunately, my old friend also has a way to deal with these people! This is the absolutely correct panacea, industrialization!"
"Which king or general doesn't like battleships and cannons? Who doesn't like the torrent of steel rolling on the railway? Who doesn't like millions of new troops armed to the teeth?"
"Power! The most confusing thing about the devil of industry is his power. For this power, even if the thick smoke in the chimney can cover the world, even if the British can cut down the last big tree in the country, even if the sheep can take away the last inch of the farmers land!"
"As long as this kind of power, I only want this kind of power! This is a devil that even the truly ideal emperors and generals cannot resist!"
"The old friend in East Asia doesn't have to do anything. He just needs to take the young emperor out and take a tour in this grand scene of industrialization. Any feudal emperor will be addicted to it!"
"This is a psychological dependence drug that is ten times more poisonous than opium. It is a poison that emperors and generals cannot escape!"
"Conspiracy! The real master of conspiracy, he lays out all his plans clearly, but you have no choice but to follow his path!"
"It is very dangerous for the Qing Empire to continue to deepen its industrialization. The higher the degree of industrialization, the faster the country will fall!"
"I can understand what my old friend is thinking. He sees the weakness of the Qing Empire as clearly as I do!"
"A backward feudal agricultural country even retains a bit of slavery... Does such a wooden ox cart have to be equipped with the most advanced steam boiler to drive it?"
"The Qing Empire did not have a solid institutional framework or a deep and solid foundation for governance. It was difficult for it to even implement the most basic rural governance!"
"The entire empire is maintained by relying on Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism to unify people's hearts, relying on obscurantist policies and a little bit of pitiful military intimidation and intimidation, as well as buying some Han landlords as lackeys!"
"In this way, the cohesion of the empire is barely maintained. I can only describe this structure as the wooden ox cart of the past era!"
"How can such a framework withstand the impact of the financial crisis in the future? How can we adjust the huge scissor gap between industry and agriculture caused by the crazy expansion of industrialization?"
“How can we bridge the gap between rich and poor, which is thousands of times crazier than it is today?”
"Can the bizarre ocean of money and the various novel enjoyments brought about by industrial civilization stabilize people's hearts? It is very likely that even soldiers in the army will be caught up in it!"
"It's like a wooden ox cart, but it has to be equipped with a 100,000-horsepower steam engine from a battleship? How terrifying!"
"Sooner or later, the Qing Empire will have problems. The greater the scale of industrialization, the bigger this cancer will be in the future... And my old friend can do almost nothing!"
"He just needs to show it to the whole world! What to show? Show his abilities and tell the whole world quietly!"
"I have the ability to clean up the mess, and my Chinese people can control it all! That's all... As long as I show this ability, such a huge Chinese empire will naturally be within easy reach!"
