The so-called "Going to the East" is a group of surrender factions who shouted all day long that "the Central Plains countries return to the Ming Dynasty."

Because Daxian is in the west of the Ming Dynasty, the slogan of these surrender factions is "Go to the East", so it is named "Go to the East". In my opinion, these guys are either organizations sent by the Ming Dynasty to cause trouble in neighboring countries, or surrender groups spontaneously organized by fences from neighboring countries.

Indeed, the Ming Dynasty had the largest population and the strongest military strength among the six Central Plains countries. Before being defeated by the Three Kingdoms alliance formed by Daxia, Dazhao and Dawu, the Ming Dynasty could defeat any Central Plains country or defeat the alliance formed by the two countries. Because the Ming Dynasty was in too strong momentum, some people regarded the Ming Dynasty as a powerful Qin in the Warring States Period and believed that the Ming Dynasty must be the Ming Dynasty.

But anyone with a discerning eye can see that the strength of the Ming Dynasty is just an appearance. As Lin Zhongsheng said, the equipment of the Ming army was bought from head to toe, and the Ming Dynasty itself did not have the ability to produce arms.

It’s not that the Ming Dynasty really couldn’t produce a shot or shot. Since the Ming Dynasty signed an arms sales agreement with the British Empire and the United States, the equipment of the Ming army could only be purchased from these two countries in a systematic manner. Bi Jin told me that the price of selling equipment in the British Empire and the United States was very cheap, and the price was even less than half of the equipment produced by Daxian.

This means that with the same military expenditure, the amount of equipment that Daming could buy was more than twice that of Daxian's self-produced equipment, and in terms of quality, it was better than Daxian's self-produced equipment.

From the perspective of spending money, it is indeed more cost-effective to buy. We, Daxian, also purchased equipment from foreign countries, because we have never signed the arms sales agreement signed by the Ming Dynasty. The equipment purchased by Daxian is relatively expensive, but it is also cheaper than making it ourselves. Therefore, nowadays, except for Daxian and Daxia, the equipment in the other four countries in the Central Plains is mainly bought.

Lin Zhongsheng said that the Ming Dynasty was the dog of Westerners, and this is true. Si Congpo also said similar things. When I first joined the army, we captured several Donggui Party. After those Donggui Party were arrested, we kept advising us to abandon the darkness and turn to the light and not to work hard for a country that will surely fall.

At that time, Si Congpo was very angry - that was the first time I had and the only time I saw Si Congpo get angry so far. He beat the Donggui Party up and dragged me to drink. If I remember correctly, it was the only time this guy spent money to treat me to drink so far.

At the wine table, he talked about this. He said that the Ming Dynasty was a scum in the Central Plains. Westerners used their hands to weaken the strength of the Central Plains countries and also advertised their military equipment. Compared with advanced Western countries, the military technology of the Central Plains countries was very backward, and it was impossible to catch up with the West in a short period of time.

In order to gain the strength to compete with the Ming Dynasty in a short period of time, the Central Plains countries could only order arms from Western countries. We were unfortunate and lucky. Unfortunately, we became vassals of the Turusa Empire early on; fortunately, we were vassals of the Turusa Empire. Although the Turusa Empire was not considered a Western country, their military technology was advanced than us, and they were the best and most convenient learning objects.

After becoming a vassal of the Turusa Empire, we can still obtain diplomatic maintenance by the Turusa Empire and guarantee the arms supply channels. The most important thing is that Wen Xiang and Wu overcome all difficulties and carried out military reforms in Daxian. Only after the military reforms did we truly begin to learn Western technology and develop our country's industrial capabilities.

At that time, Si Congpo said this - the only enemy of the world is Daxia. If I understand it correctly, he means that the only countries in the Central Plains who can be regarded as Daxia, is Daxia, and the other four countries are not worth worrying about.

At first I didn't understand why Si Congpo said this, because in my opinion at that time, the strongest country in the Central Plains was the Ming Dynasty, but Si Congpo said that the Ming Dynasty was not afraid, only Daxia was the enemy of our country. Later, I searched some information and found that Daxian had many similarities with Daxia. For example, both countries were popularizing basic education, carrying out military reforms, using their own equipment, and developing their own industries, etc.

This gave me some insights, so I continued to study and finally came to a conclusion.

Popularizing education to allow all the people to read and learn by themselves, and constantly improve their own level. Carrying out military system reform and using self-produced equipment means that the country has the ability to produce self-produced arms. Although I have no knowledge, I still understand the principle of "but I am not panic", and the same is true for developing my own industry.

In contrast, the other four countries only care about allowing foreigners to invest in their own country and buy equipment from foreign countries. The advanced ideas of Westerners only learn their form, not their roots, but only seek temporary strength. Once Westerners cut off investment and refuse to sell equipment, they will be defeated back to their original form, which is not worth worrying about.

Originally, I had no hostility to the Donggui Party. However, after the fight, I began to hate the Donggui Party. Although I was not so disgusted as soon as I caught it, if the Donggui Party who was arrested dared to talk too much, I wouldn't mind beating them like Si Congpo.

Lin Zhongsheng and I had a very scheming conversation. If there weren't a guard knocking on the door and asking me where I would eat lunch, I wouldn't know that it was already noon. Because I hadn't had enough fun, Lin Zhongsheng asked the guard to get some food and then make a pot of tea. We were having and drinking while chatting.

We had just finished our meal and were about to have a leisurely tea when Bi Shuang'er came. She came by herself. When Lin Zhongsheng saw her coming, his expression froze and immediately stood up and said, "Lieutenant Gun, I still have some things to deal with, so I won't disturb you."

After saying that, he asked the guard to take away the tableware and tea sets and leave. As soon as the door of the ward closed, only Bi Shuang'er and I were left in the room. I suddenly felt a little nervous, and Bi Shuang'er looked a little restrained.

"Big, big...big...maid, you...you are here!"

Bi Shuang'er pouted, glared at me, and said, "Your tongue was also whipped? Why did you stutter?"

"Uh...I, I, I...I am...I am...I am...I am so excited! The eldest lady comes to see me personally, I...I...I am so happy! I am so touched!"

"Hmph! Grippy and smooth-talking! It's better than singing." Bi Shuang'er's lips raised a little more, "If you listened to me, wouldn't you have to suffer this crime?"

"Uh...haha...yes...yes." I smiled bitterly, "I'm still smart."

"Smart is not listening to me." Bi Shuang'er plucked her cheeks as if she was arguing, "I'm so interested now, can I still take care of you in the future? Don't you have to go to God?"

Well, in the future? What she said would be after marriage, right?

When I think of my marriage with Bi Shuang'er, I feel stuffy. It seems that she has completely accepted the arrangements at home. This does not harm me. If Bi Shuang'er is really as generous as Bi Jin said, as long as I think a little, it will not be a problem for me to marry Youying.

If Bi Shuang'er had always been that willful lady, this practice would not have any psychological burden to me. However, Bi Shuang'er was not really willful. She was just willful on the surface, but in her heart she was thinking about others. In the past, because she was always harassed and bullied by her, I was unwilling to admit that she was a good woman. But now, I have to admit that she is really a good woman.

I don’t want to deceive Bi Shuang'er. I have never pursued her, nor have I ever thought about her. Even if there is, it has only been recently and does not count.

I want Bi Shuang'er to be happy. Bi Shuang'er is a good woman. She should find a good man she likes and also likes her - no, it is what she likes, and she only likes her good man she marrys.

There is no doubt that I am not such a man. I don't even have the right to say things like "She will not be happy with me" because I'm not worthy of her at all.
