Gordon couldn't suppress the shock in his heart. The pattern described by Emperor Tongzhi was the ultimate strategy that had been inherited for thousands of years of civilization.
This cannot be revised by humans at all. This is actually the choice of civilization itself. You can even say that this is the chess game of the gods.
Gordon was just a mid-level aristocrat. How could he comprehend the profound realm of playing games with heaven and earth as a chess game? Every word spoken by Emperor Tongzhi was as shocking as the bells in the Eight Outer Temples.
Thousands of years of human killing are actually nothing more than a rainfall game played by the gods. When the God of Ceres sows a seed, a number of human societies will appear that rely on this seed.
When the God of Shepherd drops down a group of cattle and sheep, there will naturally be a group of nomadic empires running wildly on the grassland.
The gods don't have to do anything. They just sow some seeds and interfere with the annual rainfall. That's all, human civilization will be completely changed.
Billions of living beings are born because of this, and hundreds of millions of living beings die because of this!
Only now did Gordon understand what Xiao Letian was studying on weekdays. It turned out that he was already standing on the edge of the god's chessboard.
"Is it a bad chess game?" Gordon, who is a China expert, actually said this.
"Ahem...hehe...interesting, your summary is very interesting..." Zai Chun provoked Brother Thumb, "You are really a China expert!"
"Yes, the master is the woodcutter who accidentally went into the mountains and met the gods playing chess... He saw the chess game of heaven and earth, and his own ax rotted..."
"To be honest, without the Industrial Revolution of the British and the Age of Discovery initiated by the Iberian Peninsula, the conflict of civilizations in Asia would have continued forever..."
"Our Qing Dynasty will gradually decline and lose control of the local area. In the end, the rise of the Han people will still knock us out of the Great Wall, and then the main body of agricultural civilization will return..."
"But what can we do? If the Ming Dynasty comes again, and the cycle of another three hundred years continues, there will still be other nomadic peoples north of the Great Wall who will rise up, fight in and establish a new empire..."
"It goes round and round and never stops, but after the arrival of marine civilization, everything changed!"
"You are robbers among robbers, meat grinders among civilizations. You don't care what kind of civilization we are when you come here. Marine civilization will strangle farming and nomads..."
"That's it. You don't have to defend yourself. Look at what the Spaniards did in South America. Look at what you British immigrants did in North America."
"There are also black people in Africa and more backward ethnic groups in Asia. Do you regard them as human beings?"
"Gordon, you don't have to look so ugly, this is all true!"
"The bloody facts prove that when the marine civilization comes over, both farming and nomadic life on our land will be finished. The big brother and the second brother will all line up to die!"
"Haha... don't argue, it's useless. I know what you are going to say. Don't you just want to talk about equality and the semi-colonial rhetoric?"
"In fact, the fundamental reason is that this country is too big and has too many people. You can't win. You can't copy the old methods of North and South America and Africa."
"The so-called semi-colony is just your second best, not that you are really unwilling to kill them all!"
"I admit that you Gordon may be a good person, but in the face of the violent capital, how many of you are there?"
"Give me another sip of ginseng soup...let's talk it over today!"
"As long as the British come, no matter farming or nomadic life, everything will be finished. This is the master's point of view, and I agree with it!"
"At that time, my master once described a possibility to me, that is, the deep integration of two local civilizations, the integration of equals, and the establishment of a brand new country!"
"The parliamentary system replaces the past tradition. Although it cannot completely eliminate the existence of the emperor, it must greatly weaken the existence of the emperor's power!"
"I am the dragon of the nomadic people, and my master is the dragon of the agricultural civilization superimposed on the maritime civilization. The two dragons jointly prepare a Chinese Great Council as the core of all power..."
"Manchus and Han are one family, even Mongolians, Hui tribes, Tibetans... all ethnic minorities are one family, and seats are set up in the Great Council based on their population!"
"Whether it is the imperial court's Eight Banners aristocratic system or the Chinese aristocratic system of six nobles and eighteen nobles, they must be reformed in the end..."
"We need to reduce the power of the nobility bit by bit, give them more respect in terms of reputation, and reduce material privileges, and ultimately make the nobility become an honor rather than a privilege..."
"Such a reform may take a hundred years, but it must be done..."
"The military must integrate multiple ethnic groups and cannot be dominated by any one ethnic group. It will eventually form a modern army and navy, and the civilian population will eventually complete industrialization..."
"Scientists, farmers, industry and commerce, all four peoples are equal, and there will be no more slaves in the world..."
Zai Chun's eyes became empty again, "This is the ultimate strategy of my master and I. The two nations will join hands to resist you invaders from the sea. From now on, there will no longer be a cycle of killing between farming and nomadic life..."
"This is the ultimate strategy, Master's chess game... Unfortunately, I betrayed Master, I am a sinner..."
At this point, Zai Chun burst into tears.
"Your Majesty, your Majesty, please rest. Don't be tired..." Er Mao and Gordon quickly persuaded.
But today, Zai Chun no longer had any worries. He wanted to talk, he wanted to tell everything.
"Master's chess game is generally invisible to ordinary people. Whether they are Han Chinese or Manchus, there are many opponents because they all look at the problem from a traditional perspective. They think that both civilizations have been fighting for thousands of years. Why? What about possible fusion?”
"This kind of inertial thinking kills people. This was also the key to my hesitation later... Of course, it was also my selfishness that caused it!"
"I experienced the Franco-Prussian War and changed a lot. I saw the majesty of the British royal family, and I felt more unconvinced..."
"Actually, I just want to try, can I use my method to save the Qing Dynasty... What if the dead wood can sprout new shoots?"
"Hey... in the final analysis, it is still greed, greed for power. I am not a wise king. In fact, I am just a weak king who is greedy for power..."
"I can't bear to give power to others, so I'm half-hearted and keep doing it in a positive and negative way. I want to follow the old path to save the Qing Dynasty!"
"I thought that I could rely on my own strength to reform the court so that the Qing Dynasty could have a strong military and industrialization power..."
"Look, am I stupid?"
"Your Majesty..." Everyone in the room knelt down. "Your Majesty, stop talking. Your Majesty is not a foolish king..."
"Supreme right, who would voluntarily give it up? It is normal for Your Majesty to have such an attempt. Your Majesty, please don't blame yourself!"
