Xiang Ying's eyes lit up suddenly, "Are you going to have a plan?" At this moment, the hatch door of the conference room not far away was pushed open, and Cai Bixia revealed her head and shouted, "The kitchen is ready for supper, hurry up and have something..."

"Don't worry about us, I won't eat anymore!" The master and apprentice actually roared in unison, but after that, they were stunned and then laughed strangely.

Cai Bixia was stunned and said, "Are you sick?" After saying that, he slammed the hatch door and ignored them.

At this time, the sky was completely dark. Windproof kerosene lamps were hung between the upper and lower spiral ladders in every corner of the Zhiyuan cabin. From a distance, the light of hundreds of kerosene lamps outlined the graceful arc of the entire warship.

With the faint light not far away, the two lit a cigarette to continue the topic just now facing the sea breeze.

"Xiang Ying! Although I, Xiao Letian, have a reputation among the Chinese people now, do you think I have a reputation in the Qing Dynasty? If I now lead my troops back to the Qing Dynasty, raise the flag and rebel, how many people will support me?"

Xiang Ying thought about it carefully and shook her brows with a frown, "I am blunt, no one out of ten..."

4000

"Haha, you are complimenting me! None of them are out of ten, and nothing is out of a hundred!" Xiao Letian shook his head and sighed, "The most stubborn thing in this world is the heart of the people, and the most fickle one is also the heart of the people. Rebellion has been a technical job since ancient times. Rather than being the change of dynasty caused by bloody battles between gold and iron horses, I would rather believe in the implementation of the revolution in accordance with public opinion!"

"The Chinese people regard me as a savior because they have been influenced by my latest nationalist ideas. Just like those volunteer student propaganda groups on the streets of Ryukyu, this kind of thought has changed, and no one forces them..."

"The Chinese people who are wandering overseas are a group of people who look at the world with their eyes open. They know how powerful the Western powers are, how weak the Qing Dynasty is, and they have tasted the taste of being bullied by foreigners. Now they have met someone who can give them hope... that is me, and they will naturally resolutely surrender..."

"But the Qing Dynasty is different. That country is closed and the people cannot move due to the household registration policy in their hometown. If you are not a person with fame, then you have to leave your hometown and visit relatives for hundreds of miles to open the way!"

"In addition to the extremely closed news, even the people in the county town don't know what's going on in this world! The CIA once conducted a secret investigation. Only 50% of the people in Zhili Province knew the war between the British and French forces attacked Beijing. This is the main battlefield for the outbreak of war!"

"You don't have to be surprised. Only half of the people know that in the rural areas of southern Zhili, many people have never heard of the word "Anglish and French Allied Forces" at all, and they don't even know what the Old Summer Palace is..."

"In Shanxi, the proportion of the population that knew that war dropped directly to 25%, in Henan to 23%, and in Shandong it was 21%...."

"This is the Central Plains, a large coastal province, as for other inland provinces, such as Shaanxi, Gansu, Sichuan, Guizhou and other places... I know that the proportion of people in that war is not more than 3%. Think about this extremely closed and ignorant environment, who do you think people's hearts will follow?"

Xiang Ying was stunned and murmured to himself, "Yes! Which environment did I come out of? They don't know what the world is like, and they don't even know that there is Xiao Letian. They don't know that the Prime Minister exists in the world. How can this person be used for you?"

"Tradition! Yes, there is nothing wrong. It is actually not the emperor that influences the hearts of the Qing people, but tradition. It is the power of inertia. Everything is caused by habits!"

With a snap, Xiao Letian snapped his fingers, "Yes, yes! You guessed it right, it's a habit... Every Qing Dynasty citizen did not pop out of the cracks of the rocks. They have parents, grandparents, and their relatives are the same!"

"Around him, countless people were brainwashing them with their habitual behavior. The great-grandfather told the story of Emperor Kangxi, the grandfather told the legend of Emperor Yongzheng, the father said the flowers during the Qianlong period... In addition to the selective indoctrination of the storytellers and the scholars, they naturally formed a so-called idea of ​​loyalty to the emperor and patriotism!"

"I remember I told you in a small class! People are a very wonderful thing. When their outlook on life, values, and worldview are formed around the age of 20, they will generally firmly control their life..."

"People are very stubborn. When they form a certain idea at the age of 18 or 20, they will entangle and control him for the rest of their lives like a big tree taking root. A strong sense of self will make him brainwash himself continuously!"

"What are you washing? You just keep instilling the idea of ​​'I'm always right' in yourself. I'm the most correct, my father's words are the most correct, my grandfather and his relatives are even more correct, and I will be anxious about anyone who says I think wrong!"

"Aren't such people countless in the world? How many adults quarrel and even fight because of different ideas. In the final analysis, it is because you denied my cognition and you said that what I thought was wrong! This is what Buddhism calls ego!"

"Ego! Being obsessed with self-centeredness is always the most correct oneself, and those who are wrong are always others and society! Such people will become slaves to their own thoughts, and that kind of thought is actually instilled by the environment before the age of 18 and brainwashed!"

"Haha... Do you still remember the story of Xishuimen? Oh sorry, I forgot that you just returned to China. You may not have heard of the story of Xishuimen in Tanggu..."

"I just hope that those refugees will let go of their wives and daughters' feet, cut off their braids, and get paid for their work? These requirements are too much? In fact, it is not too much, but countless people still choose to refuse, and even after they are trolling, they have to scold them with extremely vicious words!"

"Why? This kind of behavior is actually human heart! Just as I said just now, human hearts are stubborn and refuse to change, but at the same time, he also wants to share your happiness without changing himself a little bit!"

"Do you think I can change this Qing Dynasty? Do I have the 400 million or 500 million people to reason one by one? Do I have the ability to influence everyone?"

"Please! I am also a human being, not a god. I cannot defeat the deep-seated ego in human hearts!"

Xiao Letian stood there with a lonely expression, his body wafting like a mountain and undulating with the waves. At that moment, Xiang Ying clearly felt the trace of oldness and fatigue in the corner of the prime minister's eyes.

"Is there no way? Do you let the people of the Qing Dynasty sink into the so-called habit? Sleeping to death in the so-called dream of loyalty to the emperor and patriotism?"
