Chapter 484: The Fog of History
"What kind of person is Zuo Zongtang?"
"I am just a soldier under him. Although I have been fortunate to see Lord Zuo several times, I have never spoken to him." The werewolf showed regret on his face.
"What a pity."
"Yes, it's a pity that I actually had the opportunity to talk to Lord Zuo at that time, but I had a high opinion of myself and thought that I could be on an equal footing with Lord Zuo in the future, so I gave up the idea..." The werewolf sighed long, "I didn't expect that I would never meet Lord Zuo in my lifetime."
"continue."
"Actually, my life experience is not as exciting as you think."
"Listen as a story." Wang Strange smiled.
"I didn't have long been a soldier under Lord Zuo. Because of the influence of the general environment, I made no achievements, so I left China and went to the United States to build railways... Of course, my purpose was not to go to the United States to build railways, but mainly to find my group - werewolf."
"The werewolf who adopted you were either British or French, why are you going to the United States?"
"I was confused at the time and couldn't tell the difference between the United States, France and Britain at all. I only knew that werewolfs were foreigners and thought that they might encounter werewolfs when they went to the United States. As a result, I was deceived to build a railway for several years. When I was building the railway, I had a conflict with the whites because I took the lead in strike and resisted the exploitation of whites, and killed some whites. As a result, the identity of the werewolf was exposed, causing the pursuit of vampires and the Holy See..."
"You are also in decline." Wang St sighed. He could almost imagine how dark the tragic life of this miserable werewolf was chased in a foreign country.
"Yes, it's very bad. Then, around 1885, when the Pacific Railway was built, I mixed in the country where a large number of Chinese workers returned..."
"Then, your hard life unfolded." Looking at the werewolf's lost expression, Wang Mo guessed that this guy must have been unsatisfied, which made him feel much better in depressed. His own joy was indeed based on the pain of others.
"Yes...afterwards, I participated in many historical events one after another, and even talked with Mr. Sun on the night..."
"Sun-Zhongshan?" Wang Fan looked at the werewolf in surprise.
"Yes."
"How is others?" Wang Stupid looked at the werewolf with a eager look, and he felt a little incredible.
"Do you think I can answer your question?" The werewolf looked at Wang Strange with a strange look.
"Ahem... just say a few words."
"The flaws do not conceal the merits. Although Mr. Sun has many shortcomings, it does not affect his becoming a great man." The werewolf said lightly.
"Well, keep going on with your story."
"When I talked with Mr. Sun at night, Yuan Shikai was the only one. Mr. Sun and I reached a consensus to assassinate Yuan Shikai, but Mr. Sun was worried that I would not be able to complete the task, and instead undermined the agreement with Yuan Shikai and finally gave up assassinating Yuan Shikai."
"You are a werewolf, wouldn't you be able to kill Yuan Shikai?"
"Do you think China is really no one?" The werewolf smiled bitterly and said, "In China, the number of cultivators was very large. Although I was strong and agile, I had not reached the point of invincibility. Besides, there were many masters around Yuan Shikai... Of course, I still had the chance to kill Yuan Shikai, but I couldn't tell Mr. Sun that I was a werewolf, so Mr. Sun finally chose to give up..."
"Wait, do you think there were a large number of cultivators who were active in the secular world at that time?"
"Yes, because the war was everywhere and the Chinese nation was at its lowest point, many secluded cultivators came out to try to turn the tide."
"Turn the tide! Humph, it's not a series of shameful wars and unequal treaties." Wang Fan sneered.
"Wrong, although the cultivators have not left anything in history, you cannot erase their achievements." The werewolf said with a serious face.
"Merit! What does it mean?" Wang Mo was stunned.
"When I came into contact with Mr. Sun, there were already cultivators around him."
"Since there are cultivators, why are they defeated in the War of Resistance Against Japan?" Wang Fan mocked.
"Big mistake, big mistake, big mistake!" The werewolf shook his head repeatedly.
"If you don't say it, how do I know I'm wrong?"
"Most of the cultivators do not care about the world, do not understand the secular regime, and they cannot participate in the war of mankind. Moreover, firearms were rampant at that time, and ordinary cultivators could not turn the tide. What they could do was to perform some tasks or protect some important people, such as protecting the founding leader of the new China..."
"What?" Wang St's eyes stared like a bronze bell.
"There is nothing strange about this. When a cultivator is optimistic about a certain person, he will protect his safety openly and secretly."
"So that's it, so that's it!"
Wang Mo's expression of sudden enlightenment was revealed.
He has always been curious about the legendary life of the leader. He really could not imagine that in that chaotic era of wars and wars, he actually passed five passes and killed six generals without any damage. He could always escape danger, reaching the peak of power and reaching the altar. In Chinese history, he can definitely be regarded as an unprecedented person.
"Behind history, there are many things that will never be known to the world. For example, the Boxer Rebellion has many secrets.
"The Boxer thieves also have inside information?"
"The Boxer Rebellion was quite regular at the beginning. At that time, Christianity expanded rapidly in China, which aroused the dissatisfaction of some cultivators. Then, some cultivators planned the Boxer Rebellion's uprising. At the beginning of the uprising, under the protection of cultivators, there were indeed many boxers who were not afraid of foreign guns and cannons and were invulnerable to swords and guns..."
"Hahaha, invulnerable...hahaha..."
"Don't draw conclusions easily!" The werewolf's face showed a trace of dissatisfaction, and his expression was grim: "At the beginning, the Boxer Rebellion was unstoppable, conquering cities and lands, but those cultivators were powerful, but they had no management skills and could not control more and more boxers. In the end, an invincible iron army became a burn, killing, looting robbers and refugees. It was precisely this reason that the cultivators realized that although they had the intention to kill the enemy, they had no power to govern the country. The reckless actions would only push the nation into the abyss. Therefore, after this, the cultivators began to become cautious, change their strategies, and cultivate some great wisdom people in the secular world who had the ability to govern the country, such as Kang Youwei-Sun-Zhongshan, and even people like Mr. Zhou would be protected to a certain extent."
"Who is Mr. Zhou?" Wang St asked casually when he saw the werewolf appearing respectful on his face when he mentioned Mr. Zhou.
"Zhou Shuren."
"Lu Xun!" Wang St was so shocked that he couldn't stop talking.
"Yes, Lu Xun."
"A literati with no power to tie a chicken also needs protection?"
"Mr. Zhou's pen can be used as a thousand troops, so it naturally needs protection. Back then, he made great contributions to awakening the nation."
“It makes sense and make sense.”
"If there is no protection and dealing with the cultivators, do you think that in that era of chaos and white terror and human life, Mr. Zhou can live so well?"
"No." Wang Fanshen nodded repeatedly with consent, "By the way, did you say that when the Boxer Rebellion, did the cultivators unable to tolerate the expansion of the Holy See?"
"Yes, the most common wars in the world, except for interests and races, are related to religion. Every war is religious expansion. In the early days, the influence of the Holy See was almost negligible on the land of China. However, after the Ezra War began, in a very short time, in some coastal cities, Christianity competed with traditional Taoism and Buddhism, which caused a great backlash for the cultivators and made the cultivators' activities smaller and smaller, so the Boxer Uprising appeared."
"It's a pity that it was a failure." Wang Fan still had a little understanding of the Boxer Rebellion. Judging from the historical records, the Boxer Rebellion can be said to be a tide of bad comments.
"It's not entirely a failure. It can only be said to be an unsuccessful experiment. After this experiment, modern cultivators realized their shortcomings and began to change their strategies. Instead of directly interfering in the war of mankind, they formulated a long road to rise. As I said at the beginning, the national destiny of a country, between a hundred years and a hundred years ago, someone was planning the future of the Chinese nation."
"It turns out that I'm playing a big game of chess, respectable and admirable!"
"Yes, governing the country does not involve temporary gains and losses. If the territory is lost, it can be regained when it is strong, but if a nation declines, it will be difficult to rise."
"Uh-huh."
Wang Fan has been making up for historical knowledge recently, so he naturally understands this truth.
In history, many countries have declined, such as Russia, Germany, France and Japan. However, these countries are always rising continuously, and after some nations decline, it is difficult to make a comeback. On the world map, there are not many countries that have disappeared, but there are many nations that have disappeared. Many nations have been in the long river of history, but in the end they have been a flash in the pan.
There is no doubt that nation is more important than country.
The nation is like the residents of a community, while the country is the property company that manages the community.
Property can be changed frequently, while the residents of the community are a relatively stable group. It doesn’t matter if they leave one or two, and it does not affect the stability of the community. However, if the residents of the community are expelled and killed, the community will lose its vitality. Even if there are new residents, things will change...
"Tell me about the War of Resistance."
"The War of Resistance... There is actually nothing to say about the War of Resistance, because the cultivators have always controlled the situation. Although the Japanese occupied most of China, they could not completely occupy China. Even if the United States did not intervene, Japan was defeated sooner or later... In fact, the United States was also a chess piece used by the cultivators at that time."
"America is also a chess piece?" Wang St once again showed an incredible expression.
"It's not entirely a pawn. At that time, everything was full of uncertainty. However, the cultivators worked in this direction, and as a result, they succeeded. In fact, according to the original plan, the war between China and Japan was expected to be about fifty years, but due to the intervention of cultivators, the war ended forty years ahead of schedule."
"According to what you said, if there were no cultivators, China would have destroyed its country?" Wang Fan felt that the werewolf exaggerated the achievements of cultivators.
"Although the possibility is very small, it is not ruled out that the Chinese nation had lost its country back then. The main ethnic group of the Han people was enslaved by the Yuan Meng for more than a century."
"Since this is the case, I don't understand what Chinese cultivators did during the Yuan and Mongolian period?" Wang Fan snorted coldly.
"I said at the beginning that because of the practice of being closed, the cultivators have no power to govern the country. Even if they lead troops to fight, they are just pioneers and cannot be commanders. When encountering a great era of destruction of the country, the cultivators' personal strength is extremely limited and they cannot turn the tide. When facing this situation, the only way is to find and cultivate powerful people to fight against the enemy of the destruction of the country. The process of discovery, search and cultivation is often dozens or hundreds of years. Moreover, in this process, the cultivators must also give the nation the vitality to rise... The Chinese nation has been able to continue to rise after hundreds of years of enslavement by the Yuan, Mongolian and Qing dynasties. Do you think it is luck?"
"So that's how it is."
Wang Fan sighed deeply.
Only by clearing the fog of history can we realize that there are so many secrets behind the scenes.
