Tragedy is really a tragedy!

Not only is the story of Liu Dadao's ancestors a tragedy, but now Emperor Tongzhi meets this slave, it is even more tragic for Zaichun.

The most regrettable thing is that the new idea that Zaichun had just accepted was completely destroyed by the old concept of slaves. The little emperor had already chosen the right path, but unfortunately, he had brought this group of people into the ditch before he could even get on the way.

Later historians analyzed the fundamental reason for the failure of Emperor Tongzhi's new policy. The core point is that the old forces faced by the little emperor were too strong, just like a small donkey pulling a mountain-like cart to go uphill, while countless elephants were making fingers on the cart.

Don’t be afraid of not having good things, just be afraid of not having good people! People are only a few steps in their life, and a few key points are the right one for a lifetime. If they are wrong, they will naturally be a tragedy.

Liu Dadao completed his task, packed up the dishes and brought the little emperor's vague promise of reward, and returned to the big kitchen with joy.

But the little emperor was insomnia. When the boat was in the Mediterranean, the beautiful sound of plucking instruments floated out of the porthole. It was the British warship sailors playing guitars.

No matter how beautiful the music is, it is also a magic sound that causes insomnia for Zaichun. He flipped it on the bed like a baked cake. The faint plan in his heart was overturned and rebuilt again and again.

After two hundred years of development, the Qing Dynasty was already full of holes and loopholes. Not to mention the Eight Banners system, it has caused headaches for the Qing dynasties.

It can be said that since the entry into the pass and the attack on the Kangxi Dynasty, the Eight Banners collectively were scolded by the emperor every year. A group of playboys who only eat but do not work and cause trouble every day have become a cancer of the Qing Dynasty.

The world was peaceful, and these families who came from war quickly became playboys. They couldn't study, practice martial arts, and were banned by their ancestors' family laws.

What else can these idle people do besides causing trouble?

It’s nothing to say that you are a playboy and ruin your life, and the court is too lazy to care about you. At worst, you can just take care of the little money and food as a dog.

But no, these people were originally intermarried, and they had been trapped by relatives before entering the pass, and in the end they could all be trapped by Aisin Gioro family.

Relying on a strong interpersonal network, bloodline, and in-laws, these people not only want to enjoy happiness but also always want to be officials. But do you have the ability to be an official? If you don’t succeed, you will have more than enough to defeat things. In the end, do you rely on the Han officials to support major military and political affairs?

These bastards, even if they are not bad, they will burn the fragrance.

Just such a group of things that are dragging their backs have now become a major burden for the court and cannot be lost at all. The money and food consumed every year are no less than tens of millions, but they can't count on them at critical moments.

When the British and French forces attacked the Sijiu City, none of these eight banners dandy groups spontaneously organized resistance, as if the money and food for two hundred years had been eaten into the dog's stomach.

The saints of the Kangxi, Yongzheng and Qianlong dynasties did not solve this problem, and the generations of monarchs below were even less capable, Jiaqing, Daoguang, Xianfeng... The empire's rivers were getting worse, and internal and external troubles almost destroyed the country.

This background, Chun dreamed of solving the stubborn terminal illness of the Eight Banners. If he told his mother about this idea, he would probably have to laugh to death.

This idea is indeed a bit unrealistic, but Zaichun himself doesn't think so, because he found a good medicine in the Chinese, which is the nationalist spirit that his master has always advocated.

The more I study the rise of the head of state, the more I feel that nationalism is a good thing! This kind of mental opium-like idea can actually suppress human selfish desires and allow the people of the same nation to concentrate their efforts to do great things and even die without gaining actual benefits.

In Ryukyu Naha, Xiao Letian raised the flag of residual blood on the surface, but in fact he raised the banner of nationalism. When the Han people in the whole city encountered a life-and-death crisis, the threat of death overshadowed all individuals' thoughts of being greedy for life and fearing death and seeking profit.

In order to survive, all Chinese people gathered together and were forced to accept nationalist ideas! Yes, that was an awakening that was forced by death.

But unexpectedly, Xiao Letian actually took them to do this, and the Chinese people who tasted the sweetness officially opened their hearts and accepted Xiao Letian's thoughts.

When people have thoughts, they will not be too selfish, and the entire group will be able to unite and work together.

Let me give you a very simple example, see how the Chinese army fought? At the command of the officer, without a single silver for reward, the group of soldiers screamed and launched a desperate charge.

On the streets of Naha, there was only a half-aged child wearing a college student uniform. He stood on the platform and shouted, and he could raise a box of military funds for the Chinese people in just a few words.

This kind of dreamy scene is simply impossible to appear in Sijiu City!

But Zaichun envied! He wanted it too! He even fantasized that one day he raised his arms and shouted, and the entire Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty forgot his greedy selfish desires and gathered together again for the Manchu people’s nation!

Under the five-clawed dragon flag, thousands of Eight Banners Hu Ben launched an attack on the enemy regardless of life and death. They were serving the emperor and they were serving the Manchu people.

Whenever I think of this scene, Zai Chun would tremble all over. Without a penny of money, he could make millions of people sacrifice their lives and die without the need for a single piece of money to reward millions of people. What a passionate picture!

This is what a real man should do!

Of course, Zaichun also knew that the old path of the past had gone through, and group loyalty maintained by silver rewards was not long-lasting, because humans always had unfulfilled desires and endless desires.

The Eight Banners children who have tasted a wealthy life no longer work hard for the little money. These people are like ghosts! Without great benefits, they will not work hard.

"Hey... But what Liu Dadao said makes some sense! I can't eat this thing and can't be used as a silver flower. Will they really accept it?"

"But why can the master achieve it? Could it be that the master's success is only temporary? Maybe it's true. Now the Chinese people have a population of millions, and it may work if they have fewer people to do ideas. When the territory he controls is larger, the population will be tens of millions?"

"Can the master still make millions of people accept this idea? It's difficult... it's really difficult!"

As time passed, the big four who was serving the side whispered, "Master... don't bother, take a break, listen to them that they will enter the Atlantic Ocean tomorrow, and you will be able to arrive in the UK the day after tomorrow..."

"Cultivate your energy and you won't lose the face of our Qing Dynasty..."
