"Brother Tan, of course I know that personal force and military force are two different things. I can defeat the opponent's individual. The imperial army may not be able to defeat the foreign army."
Zhang Kun said with a smile: "No, it's not that we may not be able to win, but we will definitely not be able to win. But this is only temporary, and foreigners may not be able to determine whether this is true."
Having said this, he waved his hand, and the palm of his hand made the sound of a sword breaking the wind: "Just like at the beginning, they would think that the Qing Kingdom's court had no power to fight and was just a lamb to be slaughtered just because the Sakura Kingdom had won a battle. .
Then, because of the existence of a roadblock like me, I overestimated the power of warriors among the people of China. I am afraid that once these folk warriors join forces and attack the outside world in unison, it will cause great harm to them. "
When there is meat to eat, of course everyone is vying to be the first to get it; when they are about to be beaten, they will definitely hesitate again and again, wait and see again, hoping that someone can be a pioneer for them...
These people are like gamblers who will not bet all their chips if they are not sure of a guaranteed profit, and this is our last chance. "
There was sadness and high spirits in Zhang Kun's tone.
In another world, this opportunity never appeared. The foreigners pounced like wolves and tigers, and the Qing court did not even make any powerful counterattack.
Like a stupid pig, he just showed his belly.
Hateful and pitiful.
I only hate those powerful and powerful people who hold great power.
Although they have enjoyed all the blessings, they have failed to fulfill their responsibilities. They can neither defend their territory nor expand their borders. Instead, they have lost their power and humiliated the country, losing territory and paying money.
I only pity the ordinary people who are protected by this country. They are the biggest victims and there is no way out...
The Qing Kingdom was defeated, but the rich and powerful could still escape and continue to enjoy their happiness.
As for these people, they can only work as cows and horses, and their suffering is even more severe. They can't go anywhere.
"So, this battle must not be lost. Anyone can give up, but we cannot give up."
Zhang Kun said decisively.
After hearing this, Wang Jingya and others behind them all had their eyes shining and their breathing became heavy.
Yes, they are all living beings. When disaster strikes, they have nowhere to escape.
But, here, on this day, there is a person standing in front of me, holding on to the mountain of pressure.
This is a very happy thing.
Tan Weixin's head felt like a bolt of lightning flashed across his head, and he nodded in praise: "Master Zhang is very calculating... The strong show off their weakness, and the weak show off their strength. We are completely weak now, but we cannot show our weakness. One side. You must appear powerful in order to scare tigers and wolves."
"That's right."
Zhang Kun's thoughts became clearer and clearer.
He was very sure that this exciting strategy would definitely succeed.
Why?
In fact, in another world, someone has already done it accidentally.
Although, that person just wanted to go abroad to make some movies and open a martial arts gym to make his own boxing famous.
The results of some things are often different from the original intentions.
Unintentionally, starting from him, Chinese Kung Fu became famous internationally.
As a result, many foreigners have added "knowledge of Kung Fu" to their stereotype of Chinese people, thinking that all Chinese people are very good at fighting.
This is actually a beautiful misunderstanding.
However, whether it is prejudice or overestimation.
As long as Zhang Kun gives them an image and a reason... all foreigners will think that the people in this land may really be difficult to mess with.
Of course, this approach can only be delayed for a while, not forever.
But so what?
What he needs is this period of relaxation.
"Brother Tan, do you know why Timothy Richard, Citi Consul, and even Sakura Ito and others are so interested in Qingguo's reform and development? Could it be that they are all internationalist fighters who are willing to help others?"
"To help Emperor Guangxu secure his position as emperor and become the supreme king, he probably wanted to further exploit the people by garrisoning troops, collecting taxes, mining, etc." Tan Weixin was a little disturbed by Zhang Kun's unconstrained ideas. Not confident anymore.
Ming Ming had already seen through the foreigners' conspiracy, but now that he thought about it carefully, there was a huge problem.
Because no matter who the other party cooperates with, it is okay.
If you want to gain the power to garrison troops, collect taxes, etc., the best way is to cooperate with the guy from Nishinomiya.
Why?
Just because Li Zhongtang can sign an astronomical surrender contract at any time...
It is not too difficult to extract benefits from them.
"Why choose the reformists and the emperor?"
Tan Weixin murmured to himself.
In the past, he only thought about reforming the law and strengthening the country and enriching the people. Whoever helps them realize this ideal is a good friend.
Including Kang Beihai, Yuan Shuangcheng, and even Emperor Guangxu, he would be sincere and have the greatest trust.
Because they are helping the reform, so that the people of the world can live a better life, and so that the country can become stronger and not be oppressed by foreigners.
As long as this wish can be achieved, everything can be compromised, even national hatred can be temporarily put aside.
He never thought at all that there was a deeper reason behind this.
"why?"
Tan Weixin's eyes were full of doubts.
He knew that Zhang Kun would not ask this question for no reason.
"Because you are weak!"
Zhang Kun sighed quietly.
Looking through the limitations of history and looking at the "reform", Zhang Kun suddenly had an idea in his mind and saw clearly the fog behind history.
Citi, the consul of the Eagle Kingdom, and the chief priest of the temple all helped the Qing Dynasty to reform. Even the biggest and most hateful enemy in China during this period, the former prime minister of the Sakura Kingdom, came over to help the reform.
What does this situation look like?
Just like the tigers and wolves in the mountains, one day they suddenly stopped eating sheep, and instead became concerned about the livelihood of the sheep, and whether the pasture was not fertile enough and whether they could grow more grass.
They were even worried that the leader sheep would not be able to maintain his authority and lead the flock to develop and grow... Therefore, these tigers and wolves all ran down the mountain and helped the sheep build the sheepfold.
What do you think they want to do?
Of course I want to eat sheep.
Perhaps this metaphor is not appropriate enough, but the meaning is this.
So, how can we ensure that sheep will always remain sheep and not become lions or elephants one day?
Find something for them to do...
The weak become strong, the strong become weak, and the fight is endless.
"Yes, they want to start a fight within Qing Dynasty."
Tan Weixin also looked horrified and woke up.
"Yes, a complete dynasty that works together as one to resist foreign aggression is a lion and an extremely powerful force.
The reason why it seems vulnerable now is that this lion is still sleeping, even castrated, without any blood.
If the emperor and the queen mother continue to fight, the situation will become very exciting and develop in the direction that some people want to see.
One side attracts the bloody and ambitious patriots, while the other side represents the stubborn conservative vested interests.
As long as the two sides fight to the death, the lion will never wake up.
Moreover, he will castrate himself again and become even weaker.
At this time, the heat is enough and you can use the knife and fork. "
"I see... When it comes to reform, isn't the chance of success very slim?"
Tan Weixin's eyes were filled with sadness.
If Zhang Kun's statement is indeed true.
Then, the moment the fight between the two sides ends, no matter whether the reform is successful or not, it is the moment when the end of the plan emerges.
It is inevitable that foreign armies from all over the world will invade the territory and divide and devour it.
How about playing a fool?
He felt a little depressed for a moment and felt like he had no strength at all.
"There is still a chance of breaking through the reform."
Zhang Kun looked calm and seemed confident.
Now that we have seen through the dangers of the reform and seen the final outcome, of course we cannot follow the opponent's baton.
"First of all, is it to eliminate internal strife?"
"How to eliminate it? Tan Weixin asked blankly.
"Internally, forcefully persuade them...and find them an enemy they have to face at the same time."
Zhang Kun suddenly laughed.
"who?"
"Sakura Country!"
…
Zhang Kun did not talk about the follow-up plan in detail. He believed that no matter how much he talked about, it would be better to do more.
Back at the hospital, before it got dark, I had a meal with Li Xiaowan, Wang Jingya and others, and quietly returned to my quiet room.
He was going to the palace.
No matter how much you think about it, no matter how good your plan is, the implementation will not be smooth sailing.
Friends and enemies around you are all living people, with their own thoughts and demands.
If you want to solve a rare game of chess, Mr. Jin told everyone a way, that is, to risk your life and survive.
'Who is the biggest supporter of the reformists from beginning to end? '
Not Kang Beihai, nor Tan Weixin, nor Da Sword King Wu, but Emperor Guangxu.
Everything is just because of his status as the emperor, so he can do many things legitimately.
Without Emperor Guangxu, even though reformists such as Kang Beihai and Tan Weixin had great talents, they were unable to do anything and could only talk nonsense.
Therefore, can the reform be successful and to what extent can it be implemented? We have to see how Emperor Guangxu operates and how much role he can play in it?
But unfortunately, this most critical key is weak.
When things came to a head, he didn't even have the slightest effect.
No, it still works, it’s a counter-effect...
He met with Ito Hirofumi, intending to use the crisis of another invasion of the Sakura Kingdom to force the stubborn faction. Moreover, he insisted on the union proposal and handed the knife to the queen mother in the deep palace.
With so many handles and civil and military officials in the court, it would be difficult to find a few people who could help him.
Even if they had any intention of siding with him, when the Four Kingdoms Union was proposed, they all abandoned him.
Who is not worried that his ancestors will crawl out of their graves and be angry to death all over again?
Zhang Kun felt that this "key chess piece" was not good at stabbing others, but he was very comfortable stabbing himself.
This is a pig teammate through and through.
Zhang Kun wanted to make the last bonfire of this era burn brighter and prevent the people from falling back into the deepest darkness, so he had to accomplish the reform in one go.
Then, his first plan is to "turn the focus on guests."
…
The night is already dark.
There is no rain, but there is a moon.
The dim half-moon hung in the distant sky, as if covered with a thin veil.
Zhang Kun was dressed in a black outfit, with a black cloth cover covering his head, with only two eyes exposed, shining brightly.
Under the moonlight, a thin shadow sneaked from the outer city into the inner city...
Then he touched the wall, stepped up the leaning willow, and entered the Yangxin Hall without disturbing a single patrolman.
Perhaps it was because of the sudden change in the situation in the court in the past few days that Emperor Guangxu realized that he was not safe, and could even sense the ubiquitous crisis.
It was rare for him to still diligently look through the memorials in the deep night, trying to see various strategies for strengthening the country.
There are strategies to strengthen a country.
Kang Beihai would write to the court every few days, and it could be said that he painted a beautiful picture every time.
Many times, Emperor Guangxu would be delighted when he saw it, as if he had seen in advance that he had finally become the supreme master of the country.
He is no longer a puppet emperor in name only.
"Respect the virtuous and show merit, protect the people and be close to the subordinates, understand the sentiments, and use the talents... In this way, the world will be at home!"
Emperor Guangxu smiled knowingly when he read this.
Pick up another memorial.
"When I heard that the emperor's holy warriors were angry and reformed, I couldn't help but dance with drums and dance with joy, thinking that Yao and Shun had come back... I heard that the great powers of the Eastern and Western countries all used the establishment of constitutions and parliaments...
"good!"
Emperor Guangxu couldn't help but praise him.
He didn't know whether it was because he saw the glory after the establishment of the constitution, or because he saw Kang Beihai's memorial mentioning Yao and Shun, but he felt that he was not much worse than the ancient sage kings.
Suddenly, his fighting spirit was high and his passion was uncontrollable. He picked up the teapot on the table and poured a cup of tea to moisten his thirsty throat.
I touched my hand and found that it was empty.
"Tata pulled..."
He habitually raised his voice and asked Concubine Zhen to serve tea.
When she was studying hard late at night, Concubine Zhen would always be by her side and take good care of her.
Everyone in the world knows that Concubine Zhen has a delicate and savage temperament, but they don't know that in terms of caring, no one else can even compare to her.
His name was only half spoken in his throat, and Emperor Guangxu's voice suddenly became hoarse, and he choked and said: "Zhen'er, I'm sorry for you, I'm incompetent, I have no choice..."
He squinted his eyes and looked up outside the flower window, where there were many shadows and soldiers.
The innermost layer is naturally composed of five hundred trusted guards, who firmly protect the study room of Yangxin Hall.
The leader is Gong Baosen, the leader of the guards, known as the "Gong Monkey". He is the head of the Xingyi Bagua family and is considered a very powerful master.
Speaking of this "Gong Monkey", this person has one good thing. Others are depressed after defeat, but he is different.
Since that day in front of the Yangxin Hall, he was defeated by the "Crazy Sword" Zhang Kun in a head-to-head encounter. He learned his shame and became brave, and worked hard to practice his true skills.
As a result, in a short period of time, I broke through the barriers and stepped into the realm of marrow cleansing...
At the age of twenty-eight, he became a master.
With such talent and such good luck, his future is bound to be limitless.
In practicing martial arts, it is very possible to break into a new world.
Logically speaking, with the protection of the divine monkey "Gong Monkey", Emperor Guangxu should relax and stop worrying about safety.
But this is not the case.
Emperor Guangxu was not only worried, but also terrified...
Because, in addition to the five hundred guards led by Gong Baosen, there was also a troop of more than a thousand soldiers and horses under the stone steps.
The leading generals, wearing helmets and armor, are extremely tall and powerful...
He was full of murderous aura, not much worse than the "Gong Monkey".
This is the Imperial Guard, not a bodyguard, but the one sent by the West Palace to "protect" him.
There are four Batulu-level masters inside.
How seriously do you value yourself?
Emperor Guangxu understood this very well.
The death of Concubine Zhen is just a warning.
Tell yourself to be more comfortable.
Otherwise, something very bad will happen.
The army outside Yangxin Hall is a real deterrent.
"Isolate the inside and outside, and guard against me more than against thieves! What a Queen Mother, what a great Buddha who cultivates his mind and character."
"If I didn't have a backup plan and could make a comeback at the critical moment, wouldn't I have allowed you to succeed?"
Emperor Guangxu's eyes flashed with cold light.
The knife has been handed to the eyebrow. The false feelings and tenderness in the past have all turned into the light and shadow of the sword, making people's hearts feel cold.
'Then let's see who can have the last laugh. '
He has been waiting, waiting for a cherry blossom, or in other words, waiting for something to happen.
Emperor Guangxu thought very clearly. Even if the princes and ministers could see clearly the power of other countries to use coercion, how many people would dare to risk their lives to go against the foreigners?
This is obviously impossible.
On that day, the Sakura Nation's military force was at its peak, pointing directly at the capital. Those capable ministers and generals who usually had great powers all shivered and shivered, which made him see what a fool was.
I also saw how the old Buddha, who was always calm and could turn his hands into clouds and rain, was frightened and frightened.
We should obviously lament the demise of our country.
Deep in Emperor Guangxu's heart, he felt untimely pleasure.
This time, do you dare to try again?
If you have the guts, try again.
…
A gust of wind blew up, and the candle shadows swayed red.
The fire was bright and black, and had been blown out by the wind.
There are shadows of trees dancing in front of the window.
There seemed to be wind chimes ringing.
Emperor Guangxu's eyes suddenly widened, and all the delusions in his mind were swept away.
He saw, under the moonlight, on the top of the tree shadows, a figure erratic like a ghost, rushing towards the leaves.
This man's black clothes were like night, and when he was hit by the strong wind, he made a crackling sound like cracking silk...
The figure is still far away, and the energy rushes towards him like a sea and a tide.
…
I got a call and made up for the 10,000-word update.
Asking for a monthly ticket.
