1882 The Master's Trap
Xiang Ying was shocked and was stunned. He never expected that he would work hard to study the academic master's academic work and put what he learned into practice to participate in the construction of the Chinese nation.
Everything he said was not the disease-free experience of a scholar in his study, but the accumulation of little insights he saw, heard, and performed in the process of administration.
Xiang Ying was the first group of military academy students to study in Europe. He was the elite among international students and the jewelry on the crown. All the mentors in Europe praised him. He drove the Zhiyuan to return home and gained military achievements.
Xiang Ying is one of the few people in China who have taken global adventures. His vision and knowledge are extraordinary. Everything he said today is the rational judgment he made based on the facts of countless colonies with his own eyes and based on the facts of Europe.
But why? Why did you get the final scolding from the head of state?
A man in the army can bleeding but not cry. Xiang Ying stood at the scene and turned his head and left. He had to leave because the depths of his nose had begun to sore and his eye sockets began to get hot. If he stayed there, he might have to pee.
Xiao Letian looked at Xiang Ying who was away and felt mixed feelings, but his face was calm and he said nothing, but he silently prayed for him in his heart. "It is undeniable that you, Xiang Ying, have already shown your sharpness. You are like a sharp sword that you just forged, and people dare not look at them..."
"But you are still missing a scabbard. If you want to go further and enter the circle of politicians, you have to find that scabbard by yourself! Don't blame me, Master. Although I know where the scabbard you lack is, I can't say because if it weren't for something you have learned by yourself, it would never be profound!"
"You must rely on yourself to find your shortcomings in life... If you really find them, you will really have the qualifications to become the Chinese Prime Minister! Want to lead the Chinese people forward? You are still missing the last enlightenment!"
Xiang Ying had no idea that Xiao Letian's indifference was just the last basin of cold water for the sharp sword quenching. Whether the sword's steel mouth was too strong depends on whether it was good or not, but the stimulation of a basin of cold water.
Whether you understand or not depends on your own!
Xiao Letian lit another cigarette for himself against the sea breeze, took a deep breath and suddenly laughed, "It's all the time to beat him, but Xiang Ying is right. He can actually foresee the national liberation movement in the next hundred years. This is really a talent!"
"It's funny, haha... it's really funny! I found that Europeans are actually quite stupid. Since the Age of Discovery, the global colonies have been around for at least one or two hundred years, and even three or four hundred years of colonization, but that colony cannot be incorporated into its own land at all!"
"Look at our Chinese ancestors. If a piece of land was allowed to be managed by the Chinese for three or four hundred years, it would have become a fat meat that could never be vomited out. It would have been fucking merged into the country..."
"Ethnic differences? Nonsense, the ethnic groups in the south and southwest are even more surprised. Yunnan, Guizhou and Sichuan were finally integrated into one country... Mobei and the Central Plains have been avenge for thousands of years. Now they are different?
"You are greedy for these big European noses, and then you will be greedy for your cruel and greedy rule! Sooner or later, after these hundreds of years of prosperity, your thousand-year decline will be, and this is the necessity of history!"
"Sow melons and beans and beans and beans. Since you have planted cruelty and blood debts for hundreds of years, do you still want to harvest good fruits in the future? Go and dream..."
With a whoosh, the bright cigarette butt was bounced into the night sky, and the spinning Mars drew a bright arc and flew straight to the British warship.
Watching the cigarette butts go out in the waves, Xiao Letian stretched and said, "Let's go, go to sleep, and continue to work tomorrow!"
Xiao Letian went back to the cabin to sleep, but Xiang Ying lost insomnia. In the captain's room, he opened his treasured whiskey and looked up and saw a big cup.
The ice cubes hit the crystal cup, and the color of the strong wine gradually became lighter in the ice water. Xiang Ying even recalled his life when he was studying in Prussia. This bottle of wine was the spoil he got when he bet with the instructor.
"It's better then. As long as you work hard, your transcript won't lie, and no one can erase your efforts..."
"It's better to be on the battlefield. The enemy is destroyed under the cannon, and no one can cover up the military achievements..."
"But why, at the master, I was right, but I got a scolding? What did I do wrong... Did I be abandoned by the master from the beginning? Am I not worthy of being your disciple at all? Why is this..."
A series of questions made Xiang Ying fall into an extremely depressed mood, and then another sip of strong wine was taken.
I don’t know how long it took, but the outside of the ice bucket was filled with condensation, and more than half of the bottle of whiskey had gone down. Xiang Ying’s eyes were red and swollen.
In a daze, a woman walked into the door. The smell on her body was so familiar and smelled so well!
Cai Bixia locked the cabin, snatched the wine glass from Xiang Ying, and frowned and helped him go to bed. "What's wrong with you? What's wrong? There's still a lot of work tomorrow. What do you think about the British when you are drunk? What do you think about the head of state?"
"Haha...Master? The master doesn't think anything. The master has given up on me, hahaha, give up on everything...don't!" Xiang Ying vomited out in an instant.
Cai Bi kicked him hard with anger and quickly took the basin to serve him. After cleaning up the spit-out pickled food, she saw that there was still a lot of melted ice water in the ice bucket on the table, and there were ice cubes floating on it.
With this little ice water, Cai Bixia brewed a thick bowl of quenching honey water and poured Xiang Ying over.
Xiang Ying had a good alcohol tolerance, but today he was just unstable. The internal discord caused the alcohol to get angry. He vomited some of it and drank it with iced honey. His consciousness began to gradually recover.
After talking for a long time, Cai Bixia finally understood what was going on. The careful woman frowned and analyzed everything in front of her lover.
The old saying goes without saying anything wrong. Behind a successful man, there must be a virtuous woman. A virtuous wife and husband are not bad for him. The ancients did not deceive me.
"A fool, you're fool!"
"Do you know what an insane person is? You are now fascinated! The master is right, so you shouldn't take the initiative to talk about these things today!"
Cai Bixia's father was Cai Mao, the Minister of the Ministry of War of Ryukyu. The few naval troops in Ryukyu were controlled by their family. Moreover, the Cai surname was one of the nine surnames of the Ming Taizu migrated to Fujian. In the past few hundred years, this family became officials.
Cai Bixia has been exposed to many secrets and unspoken rules in the court since he was a child, and Xiang Ying is just a scholar in the mountains in the west of the capital. When it comes to the various unspoken rules in the court, he is definitely at the entry level.
