Chapter 1417 The general trend of the world (first update, please subscribe)
Fukuoka is the most important port in Kyushu Province and the seat of its provincial capital. Fukuoka can be said to be the county closest to China.
There is even a direct express cruise ship between Fukuoka and Kaishu. It only takes one day and one night to get from Kaishu to Fukuoka. The round trip only takes two days. The speed is even faster than the train.
After arriving in Fukuoka again, Zuo Xiaoxun went directly to the hotel he had made an appointment with. As soon as he entered the room, he said to the people who had been waiting in the room for a long time.
"How can a country be governed well by relying on a group of corrupt officials? It is impossible to govern the country!"
Who are the "corrupt officials" he talks about?
Naturally, the group of officials in Li Tang, although the king's flag at the top of the city has changed now, the officials from the Manchu and Qing Dynasties still brought the old habits to Li Tang. Not to say they have intensified, but they are not more restrained than in the past.
As for Mr. Li himself, he is also very relaxed about this.
"It's because we can't govern the country, so we have to change it."
The person sitting in the shadow of the desk lamp leaned against the back of the sofa and spoke slowly.
"Thirty years! Thirty years. In the past thirty years, we have been constantly laying out and promoting this plan. Ten years of preparation, ten years of promotion, and ten years of rollout. We have waited for thirty years.
Years have passed since I got this opportunity, and now is the best opportunity! If you miss this opportunity, you and I will both be sinners of the nation!"
After sighing like this, the person under the lamp shadow asked.
"Zi Quan, do you still remember how shocked you were when you first returned to China?"
"Shock?"
Zuo Xiaoxun smiled.
"It should be said that I was shocked! When I first entered Nanhua, I was only a teenager. I was just a young man who didn't know much about the world. I never thought that there would be such a country in the world."
After a pause, Zuo Xiaoxun's mind once again recalled the people he saw when he first arrived in Haizhou - people with shabby clothes, disheveled faces, and numb expressions. They share the same blood as the people of the Ming Dynasty.
They are both descendants of the Yan and Huang people. But they are two completely different people. At that moment, he seemed to understand and understand the pursuit of his elders and seniors.
"The people living there can only live like slaves from their youth to adulthood, middle age, and finally their death. They have always endured excessive taxation and injustice in the world. The rich are extravagant and lustful and unkind, and the officials are shameless.
He is greedy and perverts the law, and he is greedy."
When mentioning all this, Zuo Xiaoxun still had uncontrollable anger suppressed deep in his heart. How could he not be angry?
What he saw was not only an ignorant and backward country, but more importantly, a country that exploited the people to the extreme just to satisfy the selfish desires of foreigners and officials. Billions of people lived like slaves, and even
Worse than a slave.
"slave……"
The person under the shadow of the lamp said slowly.
"I'm afraid their life is no better than that of slaves. Let's not talk about the food of the black slaves in the Confederacy, let's talk about the Chinese workers in Cuba. Back then, we used the local treatment of the Chinese workers as slaves and sent troops to intervene, but even the food of such "slaves" was still
It is far better than in the mainland. The master needs to give the laborers 8 ounces of bacon and 2 and a half pounds of sweet potatoes as rations every day, which is almost half a catty of bacon and 2 and a half pounds of white potatoes... But the people in the mainland rarely eat a few mouthfuls of meat all year round.
Yeah, I eat meat every day, even small landowners don’t dare to be so extravagant!”
Listening to the long sigh under the lamp shadow, Zuo Xiaoxun nodded and said.
"Poverty! This is the Qing Dynasty's method of controlling the people. In order to maintain their rule, they even did not hesitate to create poverty artificially. No matter how hard the ordinary people worked, they could only earn a living. The people who lived in poverty were running around all day long just to make ends meet.
There is no time to think, and no energy to resist. As a result, the rule will have to be maintained!"
"This is the subtlety of the Manchu people's way of governing the people - only eat eight cents full, no matter how hard you work, you can only eat eight cents full! Once you stop, you will starve, so in order to maintain your livelihood,
All we can do is run around and work all day long. As for the Manchu aliens and slaves, where do we have the leisure to think about these things?"
The person sitting under the shadow of the lamp sneered, then he took out a cigarette and lit one himself. Amidst the smoke, he continued.
"But...why do people have to live like this? Why can't people live a good life? This is why we do all this."
"But the question is, how long do we have to wait?"
Zuo Xiaoxun asked directly.
"They have waited too long. Isn't it time for us to solve the problem?"
Looking at the people under the shadow of the lamp, Zuo Xiaoxun continued.
"In the past, we needed to take into account the feelings of the great powers, and even the differences within the empire on this issue, but what about now? The great powers are trapped in war and cannot afford to look back, and the empire is also involved in the war. For the empire, the most important thing at the moment is
What is it? A solid ally, not a half-hearted walleye. Chairman, now the British and German ambassadors frequently come in and out of the palace and the private residences of high-ranking officials. If they promise huge profits, who can guarantee that they will not betray them? If they rebel,
If you use water, it will definitely affect the empire’s hegemony, and it will be too late to regret it by then!”
"Li Shaoquan is not that confused!"
A cold snort came from the lamp shadow, and then he said in a sarcastic tone.
"Li Shaoquan may be slippery, but he still has a clear understanding of the general trend of the world. If he dares to turn to the British and become an enemy of the empire, even without the empire sending troops, the pro-Ming faction of the army and navy will directly pull him down. He does not have that
courage."
The so-called "pro-Ming faction" is actually not pro-Ming, but advocates "China as one". After all, both the Ming and Tang Dynasties are of Chinese blood, and they should advance and retreat together and prosper together. And this faction, in the military
, has great influence among the people. After all, in the past nearly thirty years, more than 60,000 people have studied in Ming Dynasty. They have great influence in the military and among the people.
"Whether he has the guts or not, it doesn't matter... What matters is us. They have waited for too long! President, how long do you want them to wait? One year? Two years? Three years? Three years and three
year, do we have to wait another ten years?"
The reason Zuo Xiaoxun is so excited is not just because he is an idealist. His dream is simple - all Chinese people should live a good life. In the past twenty years, he has been
Work hard for it.
In the past, the time was not ripe, but now, seeing that the time is getting ripe, but the association has not taken any action, how could he not be impatient?
"President, we can't just focus on our own good days and forget them! Now the place is ready, the Patriots Association is ready, they can launch at least five divisions of troops at any time, just give an order
! We will definitely succeed. Many people in the military and civilians support us!"
When Zuo Xiaoxun finished speaking, only the flickering light of cigarette butts could be seen under the shadow of the lamp. After a long time, the man sighed.
"Zi Quan, the reason why I came from the mainland this time is to stop your rash actions!"
"What is rash action? This is the voice of the people!"
When Zuo Xiaoxun said these words, his eyes flashed and he said.
"The general trend of the world is that those who follow it will prosper, and those who go against it will perish! This is the general trend of the world!"
Looking at the excited Zuo Xiaoxun, the person under the lamp said.
"Zi Quan, this is your Majesty's will!"
Although his words were not loud, Zuo Xiaoxun's expression instantly fell into a dull state, and he murmured.
"What, what, your majesty, your majesty's will..."
In an instant, Zuo Xiaoxun was like an eggplant beaten by frost, his whole body wilted,
It's His Majesty's will! This...how could this happen?
At this time, he heard the president say again.
"In addition, Your Majesty asked me to tell you that the Left Prime Minister is old and misses his family. It's time for you to go home and visit his old man..."
