Looking back at the struggle history of the Chinese nation, it is actually a history of a big fish eating small fish with ethnic integration. There was no concept of the Han people in the world. Before the Han Dynasty, there was only one concept in people's mind, "China".

This is not China in the noun of later generations, but China in geography, economy, culture, and military. The center of the world has the most powerful productivity, the most advanced technology, and the culture that attracts all nations. It is the dream country in the minds of all foreign races.

China is a country that makes foreigners curse their weakness every day but want to devote themselves to living. It has nothing to do with blood, but only represents the human heart's desire for happiness.

In history, the alien races around the Central Plains, before entering the Central Plains, were all eyeing each other to use all military means to destroy China, steal the population and wealth, and steal the happy life they dream of.

But reality has taught them cruel lessons again and again. Every time the alien invasion of China will be transformed by the powerful Han culture in a short period of time. No nation can avoid this curse.

Why? In fact, this has something to do with the primitive human beings. Who doesn’t like a rich life? When people from the wilderness who eat raw meat and drink blood find that the meat cooked from exquisite kitchen utensils is more delicious than eating raw, who will miss the taste of raw meat?

When the Central Plains woman with her skin emitting a faint blue fragrance like cream walked into the hearts of the barbarians, who would look at the tribal women who bit like buckets and were covered in oily skin all day long and scolded the streets?

When they found that using words to record history is much more accurate and convenient than using murals and ballads, it became inevitable to put down the sword and learn calligraphy.

The assimilation process of civilization is actually a process of assimilating a happy life without a miserable life. Just imagine that when your life in the Central Plains is extremely perfect, you will be thrown back to a bitter and cold place where you are even eating salt is a problem. You don’t have an iron pot to cook or a house to spend the winter. Can you still adapt like your ancestors?

The cycle of Central Plains civilization has begun over and over again and again. The Han people have left countless memories of suffering and glorious history. Almost everyone who has passed through history books will scold the weakness of the Song Dynasty and the late Ming Dynasty. All the history of China being bullied by foreign races is an untouchable pain in the hearts of every Han people.

Even though this pain has passed for thousands of years, the Han people still cannot forget it. They always mix a few words of Beijing and saliva when they mention it.

But all the Han people ignored one thing. Why did the small tribes originating in the Yellow River Basin of the Central Plains have become a unified country of more than tens of millions of square kilometers? So much land and so much living space are for free?

If you can break out of the vicious circle of emotional analysis of history, you will find that it is suffering that actually made China and China. No matter how arrogant and arrogant the nations around China were, in the end, they will be annexed by China in the end and change their nation.

In fact, if the ideological realm reaches the height of Zeng Guofan and Xiao Letian, it is impossible for them to not analyze such problems. Including the Manchu emperors, especially the generations of the British rulers who had just founded the country, they had to think hard about this dilemma.

To be fair, the Qing Dynasty ruled the Central Plains with foreign races. In the thousands of years of history, he was really the best among ethnic minorities, because they knew how to analyze history and learn. They were constantly thinking about how to break out of the Chinese curse to control ethnic minorities.

Whether it was Kangxi or Yongzheng and Qianlong, they had a faint curse in their hearts that affected them. For two hundred years after the Manchus entered the pass, they had been thinking about how to break out of this cycle of reincarnation.

Of course, Xiao Letian knew that no matter how the grasshopper jumped, he could not escape the cold wind of late autumn and winter. The land that was full of people was integrated into China was fate, and it was not something that Cixi and the others could resist.

However, Xiao Letian also admit that the Manchu minority group is much more successful than other ethnic groups in history. In terms of the length and depth of the time it ruled China, any dynasty established by a foreign race in history in the Central Plains was not a rival to the Qing Dynasty.

For two hundred years, the Manchus worked hard to study the Han people, Confucianism, and landlord class. Gradually, this group of people found a set of classic rules that restricted the Han people.

Shave your hair and change your clothes, use Nu to govern the slaves, pull Meng Zanghui to join forces, support Qingliu to fight against the Han governors... There is only one goal of various prevention measures, which is to break the curse that has been assimilated after ethnic minorities ruled the Central Plains for thousands of years.

If you don't say something, it doesn't mean that both sides don't know it. Manchus want to rule the Han people to use the Central Plains as an inexhaustible gold mine. However, Han elites are watching coldly, watching history walk in that inevitable direction. They are waiting for Manchus to offer the land outside the inspection with both hands and finally become the inherent territory of China.

One wants to be permanently enslaved, and the other wants to be fully profitable. This kind of confrontation is very hidden but ubiquitous. Only a few real scholars in the world can see clearly the conflict between the country's destiny, and the rise and fall of this power.

Zeng Guofan understood this principle, so Zeng Guofan could clearly judge the decision that the Qing Dynasty was about to make. These Manchus would never let the Han people grow bigger. At the most critical moment, they were destined to be embraced by foreigners. In other words, 90% of the requests of the Rakshasa ghosts might agree.

But this cannot be said to Fu Qing. After all, Master Qing is still a member of that group. He can only give a little reminder, and he does not expect Fu Qing to change anything. The commander's meaning is a side warning, warning those in the Forbidden City not to play too much. My Zeng Guofan's eyes are not yet blurred.

Fuqing wanted to continue the topic, but he suddenly found that the coach had stopped responding, so he couldn't continue asking. After three glasses of wine, Fuqing came up with the last question.

"Master, who can win this war between my brother and the Rakshasa ghost? Now, in the whole of Asia, only you can analyze such a big event. Please help me solve my doubts..."

Zeng Guofan did not answer positively but asked back, "What do you think? Or who do you hope to win?"

"Of course I hope Xiao Letian wins, after all, that's my brother, my relative..."

"Hahaha...it's not necessarily! Xiao Letian won, it may be a little good for you, but what about the court? Is it good for you?"

Fu Qing's face was stagnant and opened his mouth, but he didn't say a word. He was a little difficult to answer. Yes! Is Xiao Letian good or bad if he wins? The Chinese people continue to grow bigger, and the threat to the court will be greater. But if the Rakshasa ghost wins, who can be willing to do so?

Zeng Guofan sighed in his heart, even Fu Qing hesitated, I think this court is hopeless! Two hundred years of inertia can't stop the car so easily.
