While Li Mu was lobbying in Washington, Bai Qi had already started to act in Ryukyu.
Influenced by Li Mu, Bai Qi's view of the Qing government was the same as that of Li Mu. If it weren't for Li Mu's repeated orders, Bai Qi would have provoked the Qing Dynasty. Although the size of Ryukyu was incomparable to that of the Qing Dynasty, Bai Qi's understanding of the Qing Dynasty, the combat effectiveness of the Qing troops could not be compared with those of the mercenaries in Ryukyu, and even took a step back, which was worse than the wandering warriors under Tokugawa Ritsuyan.
As an excellent general, Bai Qi has not been idle in Ryukyu for many years. The number of secret spies sent to the Qing Dynasty increased by thirty or fifty every month. In this regard, the Qing Dynasty had no sense of crisis at all, and they had almost no precautions for intelligence personnel. This led to the Qing Dynasty saying that there is basically no secret to Bai Qi, especially in the military aspect.
The Qing Empire in another time and space were also so unbearable. Before the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895, Japanese intelligence personnel even witnessed the Beiyang Navy's fleet leaving the port. Before the Beiyang Navy arrived at the combat waters of the Japanese Joint Fleet, the joint fleet obtained all the intelligence they wanted. This intelligence was even more accurate than the information that Cixi, who was far away in the imperial capital of the Qing Dynasty.
Bai Qi's intelligence work is more solid than the Japanese's intelligence work. The intelligence personnel used by the Japanese also needed to disguise. Bai Qi's intelligence personnel did not need any disguise at all. They were originally Chinese, so it was easier to obtain intelligence.
After receiving Li Mu's order, Bai Qi first organized a team of instructors with a total of about 100 people, and then obtained more than 5,000 mercenaries from Japan. This is Yan Shun's capital for the future rebellion.
In fact, if Bai Qi is willing, Bai Qi will get more people, but there is no need at this stage. To put it bluntly, these mercenaries are cannon fodder. In the future, Yan Shun's subordinates will still be dominated by Chinese people. Forget the Japanese, their obedience and patience are good, but discipline is a problem. Panama Company also hired many Japanese mercenaries at the beginning, but now it is also starting to clean up slowly, which is also because of this reason.
Training the troops is a very troublesome thing. If it is in accordance with the US Army's training regulations, it will take at least nearly nine months for a recruit to undergo complete basic training.
Bai Qi has to face more troubles. When training recruits in the United States, they have to devote a lot of energy to training recruits' obedience. The Japanese are not a problem. Their sense of obedience has penetrated into their blood. Bai Qi can skip this step directly, but at the same time, Bai Qi also has to face more problems. Over the years, Bai Qi has dealt with the Japanese a lot and has a deeper understanding of the Japanese. Although the Japanese are good in obedience, they are very poor in discipline, especially in self-control. Many Japanese people lack management of personal emotions. They are prone to getting stuck in the slightest and losing control of their emotions. This was not a big problem in the past, but now it is not possible. This is a force to be used in the Qing Dynasty. The requirements for discipline must be very strict. Bai Qi does not want Yan Shun to lead a group of wild beasts into the Qing Dynasty at that time, which is the most tragic way to attract wolves into the house.
The good news is that Bai Qi still has enough time to solve this problem. Li Mu will not let Yan Shun come to Qing Dynasty in the short term. Even if he comes, he will not rebel as soon as he comes. He always has to find a suitable reason. Bai Qi has enough time to transform these people.
Compared with Bai Qi, Li Mu's work was very easy. After gaining support from Washington, the last obstacle to the Qing Dynasty no longer existed. All shareholders of Far East companies, including Rockefeller and J.P. Morgan, were very happy to develop the Qing Dynasty market. As for the Qing government, it didn't matter. Except for Li Mu, no one cared about who was the land in Qing Dynasty. As long as the rulers of that land welcomed Far East companies.
It sounds like Li Mu is selling the interests of the Chinese in the Qing Dynasty and making money for the shareholders of the Far East Company. In fact, it should not be understood in this way. It is obvious that the Qing government cannot guarantee the interests of the Chinese. Another time and space Chinese have many destinies and many disasters. Even if this time and space Far East Company is cruel, it is still cruel but in another time and space. Li Mu will not only plunder and not build it. At least, while obtaining benefits, the Far East Company will also objectively build a complete set of basic industrial systems.
This is enough. Li Mu believes that as long as the Chinese are given full freedom, the Chinese will definitely burst out with amazing energy. In another time and space, Chinese people did not have a little energy until the 21st century. Li Mu hopes that this time and space will not have to wait that long. If the world develops according to the current situation, the two world wars will still be inevitable. Without the threat from the Japanese, the two world wars are the best opportunity for the Chinese to rise. Li Mu has done what he can do, and the rest depends on God's will.
"We can't simply say that God's will. Water can carry a boat, but it can also overturn it. After all, the Chinese have to solve the problem of Chinese on their own. No matter how much we think about it now, it's useless. It depends on whether they are willing to accept it. Whether it is a two-party system, a multi-party system, a one-party system, a constitutional monarchy, the best system is the best system. No matter whether it is a black cat or a white cat, a good cat is a good cat." Li Mu is afraid of being punished by God, so he dare not say too much about this issue. In another time and space, Chinese people did not accept the country's setting by the founding father. Li Mu even hoped that Yan Shun could give up everything after overthrowing the Qing government's rule, and returned to the United States to take over Henry's position as the general manager of the Junma Group. This is the ideal situation, but Li Mu would not say that Yan Shun has his own life trajectory, and Li Mu has no right to make decisions instead of Yan Shun.
"We don't do this in the United States. We have Time magazine, Junma Communications, and Junma Telecom. You said that if you master public opinion, you can guide people's hearts and minds, so the key to public opinion lies in guidance. As long as our work is in place, I think this should work in the Qing Dynasty." Yan Shun still remembers Li Mu's positioning of Time magazine. Through these two presidential elections, Time magazine has indeed proved Li Mu's correctness. Now Li Mu says this again, which makes Yan Shun feel a little confused.
"The United States is the United States, and the Qing Dynasty is the Qing Dynasty. The national conditions are different, so the methods of doing things are naturally different. In the United States, for the sake of interests, Time magazine can say that the black one is white, and it can refer to a deer as a horse. There is no need to have much psychological pressure. Even if it is exposed, it doesn't matter. Who can do what we do? It is different in the Qing Dynasty. You also know how serious the official-oriented thinking of Chinese people is. Therefore, if Time magazine is in the Qing Dynasty, Time magazine must be a fair, fair and open position. We do not do public opinion guidance. We are only witnesses of the times. Chinese are the most complex group in the world. They complicate the problems of the United States by a hundred times. It is probably the current situation of the Qing Dynasty. Do you still have that confidence now?" Li Mu did not exaggerate. Most Americans are indeed very simple, or very pure. They do not have much scruples. Unlike some Chinese, they can play with their minds.
This should not be an exaggeration. The Chinese tradition is that those who work hard to govern others, and those who work hard to govern others. Therefore, the highest level of military strategy is the most unsophisticated Chinese. Even the most unsophisticated Chinese should know a few stories from the Three Kingdoms, so planning and planning are already the things in the bones of many Chinese people and it is difficult to change.
Relatively speaking, Westerners are much simpler, which is more because the West is too severely influenced by religion. Many of the things left by our ancestors are religious products, and the whole article is full of metaphysical idealism. Even if you want to learn "Thirty-Six Strategies", there is no place to learn it. Therefore, when Westerners deal with Chinese people, most of the time, Westerners suffer losses, just like the British people doing business with the Qing government. At first, the British really wanted to do business with the Qing government honestly, but later they found that the money had been made by the Qing government, so the British could only start a war shamelessly. If they could not do business, they could beat you.
When Li Mu said these words, he was still proud of being a Chinese, so Li Mu spared no effort to help the Chinese in the United States.
There is a premise here. Li Mu is in the United States. If Li Mu was in the Qing Dynasty, to be honest, Li Mu's choice might change. In the United States, Li Mu and Chinese had to join in to keep warm in the face of white pressure. If it were in the Qing Dynasty, Li Mu's behavior would be similar to seeking fame and reputation. At that time, more people would doubt Li Mu's intentions.
"Yes, of course I have confidence. I believe the problem is not as serious as you said. Our Junma Group is now more than 100,000 Chinese. It is not much trouble to manage them. On the contrary, it is recognized by all companies that are easy to manage Chinese people. The troubles are those Irish, Italians, and those lazy black people." Yan Shun now has his own thoughts, and it is difficult for Li Mu to change his mind in a few words.
Well, reality also supports Yan Shun more. Before Li Mu came to the United States, Chinese Americans were famously down-to-earth, capable, diligent and sincere, doing the most work, asking for the least money, not being lazy, not being procrastinated, and being able to ensure quality and quantity. Everyone likes such workers, but because Chinese people do not have enough social voice and will not actively integrate into American society. In addition, some people contribute to the fire, Chinese people will be excluded.
The appearance of Li Mu changed all this. Now the Chinese are the most united nation in the United States and the most ambitious nation. With Li Mu showing up, Chinese people do not lack the way to rise. Yan Shun should be optimistic about Chinese people, not even Yan Shun. Many Americans are optimistic about the Chinese group.
"Okay, after you return to the Qing Dynasty, you will understand that the Chinese in the Qing Dynasty are different from the Chinese in the United States. You have to know that most of the Chinese in the United States are on the verge of despair in the Qing Dynasty, and they will leave their hometowns and cross the ocean to the United States. They are helpless here, and as long as they seize the opportunity, they will do their best. This is completely different from many Chinese in the Qing Dynasty, and you will understand it in the future." This kind of thing is also unreasonable. Li Mu can only wait for the future to let Yan Shun see it.
Many Chinese are down-to-earth, capable, diligent and sincere, but at the same time, there are many Chinese who are cheating and lazy, which is normal. After all, Chinese have the largest population base in the world. Among so many people, even if one out of 100 is despicable, the total number of despicable people is astonishingly large. To be honest, in recent years, Junma Group immigrated so many people from the Qing Dynasty, and there are not many people with bad character, but the total number is astonishingly low. This is already a miracle. Li Mu is very worried that this will cause Yan Shun to illusion.
What made Li Mu even more worried was that he was not the despicable and lazy people who were cheating and were lazy. What Li Mu was even more worried about was those who were in high positions but were not worthy of their morality. Such people were more dangerous and would cause more trouble for Yan Shun. It can be said that the founding father of another time and space was defeated by those people. Piliyang and Qiuyin were disobedient to Yang, and the scriptures were all good scriptures, and he only regretted that there were too many monks with tilted heads.
"Actually, many Chinese in the Qing Dynasty will do their best when they see opportunities. Who doesn't want to live a good life? Many people just have to surrender in reality because they don't see hope in life. Just like me, if I don't come to the United States, then I might have married and had children now, and I am still a servant in the royal palace. My children will also be servants in the future. The children's children can only be servants in the future. So if someone tells me that he will give me an opportunity to change my own destiny and change the fate of my descendants, then I will definitely seize it, no matter how difficult it is." Yan Shun's attitude is firm and with his own personal experience, Yan Shun is very clear about what he will encounter after returning to the Qing Dynasty.
Yes, Li Mu suddenly recalled that he seemed to have made a mistake. He only saw the darkest side when looking at the problem, but not the positive side. This should be related to Li Mu seeing many dark side in society in another time and space, which made Li Mu not afraid to speculate on Chinese people with the worst malicious intentions. In fact, the fact is not that bad. This is related to the ethics of the media in the 21st century. If the media only puts the dark side of society on the page, then it will naturally be cleared out. All four are empty. The problem is that the republic in the 21st century is too big, with a population of more than one billion, and those bad things are the most eye-catching. So if you only pay attention to the news every day without thinking, life will become darker and darker.
However, the reality is not as good as Yan Shun thought. After Yan Shun returned to China, Yan Shun would definitely face many difficulties. First of all, the problem facing Yan Shun is the awakening of national consciousness. To overthrow the rule of the Qing government, it is definitely not possible to rely solely on those few thousand mercenaries. Yan Shun still has to mobilize the people so that the rule of the Qing government can be completely overturned.
So Li Mu still wants to remind Yan Shun: "Okay, as long as you have enough confidence, I will give you as much support as possible. If it really doesn't work, you can still come back. Henry will retire in a few years. Junma Group needs a new general manager."
