Feudal monarchy, imperial system, constitutional monarchy, democracy, republican system... Throughout human history, various political systems are constantly changing, and people are dazzled by it.

But no matter how complex the political system is, it is actually very simple to find common ground, that is, swing between the two points of decentralization and centralization, just like a pendulum.

To form a country, it must be a combination of countless forces. Just like the late Qing Dynasty in the Tongzhi Dynasty, after breaking the pattern of Manchus' dominance, the country's political pendulum began to slide downward from the vertex of centralization, and the political structure has begun to evolve itself.

The Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty, Mongolian and Tibetan Hui, the Han people were conservative landlord class, the Han people were radical landlord class, and even the gradually rising capital merchant forces, coupled with the overseas foreign forces who were deeply involved in China, are entangled together and exerting force to each other and beginning to change the country's political structure.

In the final analysis, it is still a survival issue. On this land, not only did you have to live a good life in the Qing Dynasty, but others also had to share the interests. In the past, they could not defeat the court, but now the court has become weaker and the power of the Han people has become stronger, so the changes will take the trend.

The most obvious example is when the Eight-Nation Alliance invaded Beijing, when Cixi declared war on all countries, the governors of the southeast coast represented by Li Hongzhang, Zhang Zhidong, Sheng Huaixuan, Liu Kunyi and others actually negotiated with the great powers alone, refused to accept the will of the Qing court, and publicly called it a disaster.

This is the famous Southeast self-protection incident in history. It can be seen that the pendulum of the decentralization of power had begun to accelerate at that time, and the early days of the manchuria were already unable to turn the world back.

But the pendulum has its own rules. When it passes the critical point, the original potential energy will begin to be consumed and new power will begin to be nurtured.

Everything has its own rules. When the decentralization reaches its peak, it is the most dangerous time for the entire country and nation. Decentralization to the extreme will inevitably be warlord separatism and civil war.

It is precisely because of the excessive decentralization that the large forces are divided into small forces, and the representatives of each force think they are very powerful. When the power between them is different, who will convince who will be? Since they don’t agree with me, then fight.

The warlords separatisted the whole country and then the Japanese took advantage of the loopholes and almost let the last drop of blood of the Chinese nation. Then there is the history that everyone knows.

Xiao Letian stood blankly at the city wall like an old monk entering into meditation, looking at the bright moon on the sea, listening to the slap of the sea tide, his spiritual world entered an extremely delicate state.

Shi Dakai had already left, and all the waiters did not dare to disturb him. The soldiers a hundred steps away from afar looked at the Prime Minister dazed to the top of the city and did not dare to come over to persuade him. It seemed that Xiao Letian was the only one left in the whole world.

"No, there must be nothing wrong. China's national destiny and political pendulum are such mechanical and monotonous repetitive movements. The original power that supports this movement is the human heart... It is not one or two, nor hundreds or thousands, but the inner power of hundreds of millions of people is changing the world..."

"I understand, I finally understand that when the political pendulum of the country leaps over the most chaotic and darkest warlord separatist and national war, he has already begun to rush towards centralization. The people suffering from war need to concentrate their power, because only the concentration of power can end the civil war and resist external teachings..."

Xiao Letian finally broke through the mystery and became enlightened. He was like the bright moon rising from the sea. The bright moonlight shone in his heart, and all the confusion in his previous life disappeared.

"The times create heroes, this is the times create heroes! Taizu's ability to reach the top means that he has clearly and accurately seen where the pendulum of Chinese politics is already in, and the direction of power has been clearly seen, so he responded to the situation..."

"Oh my God! Could it be that the spring breeze in 1978 was also the wise old man who saw the change in the pendulum potential energy keenly? He was going to loosen his power? It was because of his follow-up actions that the economic miracle of the next few decades..."

Bang bang...bang bang...bang bang...bang bang...Xiao Letian already felt his heart beating wildly. At that moment, he had grasped the fundamental laws in the historical trend. The fog in his heart was completely blown away, and the overall situation of the government was as clear and identifiable as the pattern on his palm.

As Xiao Letian breathed and exhaled, it seemed that there was an eternal great energy that had been sucking and spitting. The entire Chinese nation's thousands of years of history flashed in front of him. He even saw with his own eyes that countless hidden dragons in history were using their lives to defend this land.

The cry of the most farthest punishment of the powerful Han people lingered in my ears, the capital of Yao, the soil of Shun, and the seal of Yu. It should be in the middle, one and a half shameful ministers! It is so fishy that thousands of miles away, and the heroic spirits of the ages are there, and when will it be? Famous quotes that inspired China were surging in my heart. Xiao Letian seemed to be possessed by a heroic spirit at that moment, and his whole body was about to integrate into the history that made people's bloody blood.

"Hahaha, I finally understand, I finally understand why I came to travel through time... It was the ancestors who guarded this land who chose me. They hoped that in this parallel universe, I could give the Chinese nation a new choice and a new opportunity..."

"The pendulum has been swinging, it has never stopped. All I, Xiao Letian, can do is follow the trend. I want to add insurance to this violent pendulum. I want to make him move towards centralization but not dictatorship, towards decentralization but not civil war..."

At this time, Xiao Letian suddenly went crazy and roared on the top of the city, "I understand, I finally understand!" A long roar was alarmed by the entire Shuri City. Even the outer sea of ​​the world strangely emerged. The surging white waves hit the reef hard, and a roar like thunder broke out.

On the eve of the New Year of the fourth year of Tongzhi, Xiao Letian broke through the mystery and became enlightened at the head of Shuri City. From that moment on, China's fate broke through the ice and finally sailed towards a brand new waterway.

The news that Xiao Letian was fucking at the city wall when he didn't sleep in the middle of the night soon spread throughout Naba. Shi Dakai came to him early in the morning, but found that Xiao Letian, who had not slept all night, was not tired at all, and a unique light flashed in his eyes.

When Xiao Letian saw the prince, he grabbed his hand tightly and said excitedly, "I understand, I finally understand. Prince, I already have the answer to your question. Believe me, follow me, give me time, I will let you witness a miracle with your own eyes!"

Shi Dakai had already felt the transformation of Xiao Letian. A very wonderful aura actually made the knowledgeable Wing King of Heaven a little breathless.

"Why did sir say this? I have never doubted sir's ability. I am waiting to see your miracle with my own eyes..."

The New Army's exam took only half a day to complete, and finally selected 300 of the best soldiers to go to Europe to watch the battle and study. What Xiao Letian didn't expect was that fifty Japanese soldiers also joined in, and Noheita and Hirataro actually passed the passing line.

"Yes? I didn't expect you to be able to speak foreign language level. It seems that you have put in a lot of effort in the past six months?" Xiao Letian patted his godson and son-in-law on the shoulders and was very pleased.

"This is nothing. Father, have you forgotten the identities of these people? Most of them are from pirates and often deal with foreign merchants. They are somewhat of a good foundation..." said Hitotaro.

Xiao Letian thought it was true that he had forgotten this incident. It seemed that he was so busy.

After the morning exam, the next step was to prepare for the war. Each soldier received a brand new Spencer gun, spare bullets, new tactical short knife, military shovel, first aid medicinal materials, and two sets of brand new military uniforms. They represent the national prestige of the entire China, and the spirit of not being able to be cleaned up is not enough.

Xiao Letian mingled with the Expeditionary Force all afternoon and night, personally distributed supplies to them, and personally registered everyone's name and family situation.

"You are the first squadron to enter Europe. Each of you has to write the names of yourselves in history. Do it well, and you can't embarrass the Chinese..."

"After the New Year, I will build an army temple in Tanggu. Not only will I worship the war gods of the Chinese nation, but I will also hang your names in the temple... Don't be afraid, move forward bravely. Even if you sacrifice, our descendants will sacrifice to you forever..."

"This trip to Europe for tens of thousands of miles, and you will have to float on the sea for three months. Don't forget to study and exercise, and you must learn German with Minister Jonas. You don't want to become scholars, but you must have daily conversations..."

"Master Bing, you are my son. You represent my face. If you embarrass me, you should not come back..."

"Noheita, do you still remember what I said to you? I will sooner or later have a foreign legion in my new army, and you dozens of people are the roots of future foreign legions. If you get diarrhea this time, be careful that I will cancel the foreign legion organization..."

Xiao Letian was nagging like a tongue-in-law, but no one of the 300 Expeditionary Forces disliked it. Instead, when it comes to emotional things, their eyes were red. They were Xiao Letian's new army, and their relationship was not as shallow as being a soldier. In the night of the blood and fire, their blood had been melted together, and they were already a family from their souls.

Everyone is mentally prepared. This side may be the last side of life. Even if you have a little pee, no one dares to laugh at it.

That night, all ships at Naha Port received a ban on sea. Tomorrow morning, Xiao Letian would send the Expeditionary Force to Europe, and the giant cannon in Shuri City would also be tested. Xiao Letian would use the sound of the cannon to practice it for the Expeditionary Force.

Everyone was stunned. They never expected that Xiao Letian would send student soldiers to Europe? That night, Rionas was surrounded by Europeans who came to consult the details, but Jonas had only one answer, "These Chinese people are just hired by me to protect my safety. They are mercenaries, and they do not mean China..."

The moment of the war was about to arrive soon. After three consecutive days of work, the fortress on the west side of Shuri Castle was finally ready for launch. The technicians from the United States were intensively debugging and calculating.

"This is the live-fire shot that Mr. Xiao uses to show off his power. You must prepare a flowering bullet... Reduce the weight of the launching medicine bag, reduce the range to 12-15 kilometers, and people will not see clearly if they are far away... Prepare the earplugs and be careful of your eardrums. This is a 280mm caliber cannon, and there are not many in the whole United States. This is the absolute first shot in Asia..."

The fort was being debugged before shooting, and there were already crying on the dock. Countless Chinese and natives of Naha, and even settled Japanese, came here to see them off. Those who were about to board the ship were their relatives.

Xiao Letian held the largest remaining flag with the character Xiao in his hand and shouted, "Xiao Hexin! I will give you this remaining flag, either come back with the flag and victory, or raise this remaining flag and everyone is broken under this flag!"

Xiao Letian almost pulled his neck and yelled, "Tell me... who can bring me victory!"

All the soldiers on the dock were almost roaring with all their lives, "With my blood, sacrifice to Xuanyuan! With my life, sacrifice to China!"

At that moment, a lightning flash suddenly appeared on the Shuri Castle fort, followed by a thunderous explosion. The 280-caliber coastal defense cannon finally opened fire. The blast at the muzzle formed a huge fan, and the surrounding trees and shrubs were all blown by the blast.

"Oh my God, the range is so long. This is the largest caliber shore defense cannon in Asia!" Countless foreigners looked at the huge water column on the sea more than ten kilometers, and everyone was shocked and desperately drew crosses on their chests.

"Cleaning the gunbore...Remove the gunpowder pack...Prepare for a second firing...Reduce the launching medicine, reduce the range to less than ten kilometers...Fire the gun..."

"Continue to reduce the launch drug, shorten the range to seven kilometers, so that these foreigners can see the majesty of Asia's first cannon. They know that Ryukyu has been armed by Xiao Letian into a tiger...fire the cannon!"

Amid the rumbling sound of cannons, the Dutch merchant ship set sail and headed straight for the distant Europa.
Chapter completed!
