1143 The Third Master of Sadness
This is a group of people who are confused. They have no idea of a country at all. It doesn’t matter who is the emperor and who will rule them.
But the same group of people have their own persistence, and their loyalty to the imperial power is sometimes even unimaginable.
The emperor is always good, and the bad are always treacherous ministers around the emperor. If the country is not good, it will be the traitorous ministers who deceive Shengcong.
After the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895, the Qing Dynasty was abused into a dog by the Japanese, but in this way, the slogans shouted by the people of the Reform Movement of 1898 were to clear the emperor and return the power to the Holy Emperor.
The blood of the Six Gentlemen of the Reformation of 1898 did not make these people sober. When the Boxer Movement became more and more intense, when Cixi shouted the slogan of declaring war on all countries, hundreds of thousands of people in northern China still launched an attack on the foreigners.
Even in the sixth year of the Republic of China, when Zhang Xun was restoring the throne, every family in Beijing was hanging dragon flags and every household set off firecrackers! You can imagine how important the spiritual symbols like the emperor were to the Chinese.
Xiao Letian has thoughts and deduced countless times. He even bound the special cases reported from Xishuimen into a book. He often reads them after work, and carefully analyzes people's hearts from the incredible conflicts.
The people in the late Qing Dynasty were complex and contradictory. They could serve as a leader for foreigners at the same time, and they could also sacrifice their lives for the imperial power at the same time.
Isn’t this a contradiction? It’s very contradictory, but this contradiction really exists in front of Xiao Letian.
In order to bind their feet and protect the braids, the people of Xishuimen can even give up their generous life in the Special Administrative Region. They even scold their fellow villagers who cut off their braids and mock the girls who have let go.
But while they laughed and scolded, their desire for a better life in the SAR could not be concealed anyway.
Such a contradictory and entangled national characteristics are a true portrayal of the late Qing market. Later, Xiao Letian figured it out that after thousands of years of brainwashing, the people did not care about who would become emperors at all, but they had to have an emperor. Even if the emperor was just a six-year-old child, they would think that sucking boy urine was the magic medicine to solve all problems.
The braids on the head are easy to cut off, but can they be cut off in the heart? It's very difficult, very difficult! The emperor is the braid in the hearts of the Chinese. Perhaps it's the spiritual opium they rely on.
Everything has been figured out. Xiao Letian's Chinese order is only suitable for outside the mainland, and only for those Chinese wanderers who have not been brainwashed by imperial power.
For example, Ryukyu, Nanyang, Taiping veterans who have been crippled around the world, these Chinese people who have been influenced by the imperial power idea are more free and independent in their hearts. The biggest aristocrat they met is, the King of Shangtai, so it is completely acceptable for them to abolish the emperor by the Chinese code.
However, once the Chinese Code is promoted in mainland China, Xiao Letian is very clear that he will encounter unexpected obstacles. By that time, 90% of the people will oppose him. Those people cannot accept a world without emperors and their spiritual beliefs will collapse quickly.
Perhaps people like Cixi don’t have to sell their country to deal with Xiao Letian. They will even create another Boxer Rebellion to deal with Xiao Letian. Maybe by then, there will be thousands of boxers drinking talisman water, naked, and covered in talismans on their skin, shouting various slogans to line up to the guns of the new army.
If you encounter such a situation, will Xiao Letian suppress or not? How many lives will it take to cut off the braids in the hearts of Chinese people?
The most important thing is, if so many bewitched Han people launched a death attack on the new army for the sake of the emperor in their hearts, can Xiao Letian really order the fire?
Without an answer, Xiao Letian could not answer his heart until now. It was not an order to open fire in foreign races, nor was it an order to open fire in Manchu army. Those were oppressed Han people, all the brothers of the same clan he hoped to rescue.
If he had the name of the butcher, Xiao Letian would have been abandoned by this generation of Han people. At that time, any bullshit ideal would be scolded to death.
Xiao Letian was thinking so much, and Fu Qing was watching quietly. The Third Master had a premonition that he had the last chance to pull his brothers to stop. If this time was not successful, he would have to stop this idea from now on.
Time passed by minute by minute, and Xiao Letian suddenly let out a long breath and shook his head, "I'm sorry, I won't go to the Beijing court to drift muddy water, I'll still insist on my own path... If you want to be saved, you still have to rely on yourself!"
Fu Qing exhaled a long breath of turbid breath, "So what do you want in the future? Will you be enemies with my Qing Dynasty? Will you accumulate strength day by day. When you have a million troops, you will enter my Qing Dynasty and change the dynasty? Is this your ideal?"
"You don't want to be an emperor yourself, and you don't want others to be like you. What do you want to do? Learn from Britain or the United States? What constitutional system do you have? Haha... I really think it's a panacea? No one believes you, no one will listen to you. The people are greedy, stupid and short-sighted, and they are helpless..."
"You are asking for trouble. Do you think you can change everything? No, no, you are not God. If you continue this evil path, you will sooner or later destroy yourself!"
Unfortunately, no matter how heartbroken the third master was, he did not see any trace of shaking from Xiao Letian's face. He knew that everything could no longer turn back. Two turbid tears in his red and swollen eyes finally did not hold back and burst out from his eyes.
"Forget it, forgot! The fate of you and my brothers is here. From now on, you and I are enemies and not friends, so I will be blessed by myself!" After saying that, the third master stood up and walked out, but just took two steps, he hesitantly stopped again.
Fu Qing slowly turned around, his eyes almost despair. He took out a thin piece of paper from his arms and threw it on the table. "This is the last time I have helped you...Brother!"
Xiao Letian glanced at him, and his heart stumbled and started to boil. The paper was densely filled with English-Chinese translations, which was actually a detailed information about the Russian Expeditionary Fleet.
"This is the Russian fleet information provided by the British to the court. It should be much more detailed than yours... Take care, brother, I hope you can survive!" After saying that, he turned around and left.
Xiao Letian was in a very complicated mood at this moment. He suddenly shouted, "Wait a minute! Why are you and I here?... Is there only two ways to fight against me in the world?"
"You know very well that I have no ambition to be an emperor. If I had, how could I teach Your Majesty so carefully? Have you turned a blind eye to all this?"
When talking about the emperor, Fu Qing was stunned and suddenly collapsed. He shouted, "Then what do you want to do? If you want to rebel, you can rebel well. If you want to be loyal, you can be loyal. What do you want to do if you want to be loyal to you? "
"If I don't like my Qing Dynasty, I will take His Majesty back! Why are you still traveling to study? What are you going to Europe? It's just farting..."
