Rong Hong opened his mouth in surprise and didn't react for a long time. He originally came to Hawaii to inquire about the Chinese people studying in the United States. He wanted to ask Zhou Yu to help him and understand the specific situation.
It's better now! Zhou Yu invited him to get an education. There are still many things he did wrong in the past. Those Chinese people studying in the United States were sent by Zhou Yu. Rong Hong was bombarded by Zhou Yu's barrage of words.
Shocked.
And Rong Hong also discovered from Zhou Yu's astonishing words and actions; Zhou Yu's hidden power and ardent hope for China's future, as well as his extreme contempt for the Qing government.
It took Rong Hong a long time to realize, Mr. Zhou, according to your point of view, the Qing Dynasty is not our country, China is our country. Why do I become more and more confused the more I listen!
Zhou Yu looked at Rong Hong, who was already in his fifties, with deep confusion and confusion on his resolute face. Unable to bear it, Zhou Yu patiently explained and analyzed his own ideas.
The Qing government was the ruling class, instead of aligning itself with the working people. Fundamentally, the ruling class and the working people were opposed and contradictory.
The national government I am talking about is the same as the working people. They are engaged in mental work, while most working people are engaged in manual labor. They are essentially the same as the Chinese people, but the division of labor is different.
National government officials only govern the country on behalf of the people, rather than ruling the country like the Qing government.
This is what I mean; the ‘country’ in patriotic education is the reason why it is the Chinese nation and not the Manchu Qing government.
Mr. Congrong, you should know your experience in the United States; what the Qing Dynasty cares about is its rule, not the life and death of the Chinese people. The fact that you are still living in the United States instead of returning to work in the United States is your disappointment with the Qing government, and
An expression of your resentment towards the current situation of the Qing Dynasty’s Westernizers.
In fact, you don’t have to go into a dead end and keep staring at the Qing government. The Qing government is like this cup of fragrant tea in front of you and me. Now, it has cooled down. If you wait until tomorrow to drink this cup of fragrant tea, then it will
It is toxic to the human body.
But what should we do?
Since it is no longer suitable for people to drink, throw it away and make a new cup of tea from scratch!
Come here! Bring me my new tea and make another cup for all of us. Zhou Yu stood up and ordered the servant.
After a while, the servant brought some square paper bags and put them whole in the new water cup. After adding boiling water, a faint aroma of tea began to fill the room.
Mr. Rong, come, come and taste the new tea I made. I have put something called a special preservative into it, which can be stored for a long time without deteriorating.
It is what I call faith. Only with national faith can China maintain lasting vitality. However, the Qing Dynasty has become decadent and cannot adapt to the entire great era. Therefore, it must be destroyed and rebuilt, and it must be thrown away.
In this era of rapid technological advancement in the world, if our country wants to develop, grow, and rise, it must have a government that truly represents the interests of the people and serves the people wholeheartedly. This is what our Chinese nation needs most today.
Zhou Yu stood up with a smile, Mr. Rong, please drink tea first. Hey! Chen Fang, why don't you take the lead? Here, we don't pay attention to serving tea to guests.
As he spoke, he took the lead and started drinking.
Chen Fang and Rong Hong were both dumbfounded by Zhou Yu's leaping thinking, so they had no choice but to pick up their teacups and pretend to drink the fragrant tea.
At this time, Rong Hong even drank the 'immortal soup' and found it tasteless.
After a pause, Zhou Yu continued to make his shocking remarks.
Just now, Mr. Rong and I talked about the spirit of patriotism. Now, let’s talk about the contrast between the Qing Dynasty and the countries in Europe and Asia.
Let’s start with the economy!
The European and Western countries encourage industry and commerce and develop the economy. The gross national product of the United States is more than ten times that of the Qing Dynasty. The gap between the two will become wider and wider in the future. In 1882, the per capita income of the United States was about 45 US dollars.
, and how much does it cost me in the Qing Dynasty? It’s a pitiful amount of less than 3 US dollars, and the gap will get bigger and bigger in the future.
Other countries such as France, Great Britain, Germany and other countries are also at the same distance from the Qing Dynasty...
Let’s look at the industrial aspect;
I also use the United States to compare with the Qing Dynasty. In 1882 alone, the trade surplus of the United States reached nearly 10 million US dollars. You all know what a trade surplus is, so I won’t say more here.
After they bought our energy, cotton, raw silk, hemp and other products from the Qing Dynasty back to China at low prices, through processing in domestic factories, they sold some finished products such as guns and ammunition, gasoline and diesel, cloth and clothing to the Qing Dynasty at high prices.
.
Among them, it also supports countless domestic factories, mines and workers, but what about our Qing Dynasty?
In China, people are living in poverty, with no food to eat, and no clothing to cover their bodies. The most advanced industrial products are not as good as those imported from Japan and are cheaper. Why? It’s all because the industry is underdeveloped, and technology, machinery, and manufacturing processes are too backward.
Caused by too much.
There are also military aspects:
The Americans invented and produced giant ships and cannons, cruise ships, freighters, guns and ammunition, etc., and sold them to the Qing Dynasty at high prices, earning huge fees. At the same time, they also made great progress in their national industry and effectively trained their skilled workers.
Let’s wait and see how the Qing Dynasty did it?
After repeated requests from the Westernizationists in China, the Mawei Shipyard, Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau, etc. were established, a group of military industries that mainly imitated the weapons of the European and American countries. Such is the situation, and the domestic officials are still engaging in malpractice for personal gain.
Corruption and perversion of the law have prevented these military-industrial enterprises from developing vigorously and effectively.
Even our evil neighbor, boogerous little Japan, can build a real armored ship. Zhou Yu said with a look of anger on his face, suddenly stood up, pointed to the east with his right hand, and shouted in a muffled voice
;
If this continues, will China be in danger?
The island country where Japan lives is poor in resources. If they want to develop, they have no other way but to invade our fertile land of the Qing Dynasty.
There is also an evil neighbor in northern China - the Russian Empire, which is also eyeing our fertile land in China.
France is even more determined to capture the lands along our coast.
America, how can Great Britain be a good guest?
With all these things going on, China still has a few more years of glory left in it, and when will it be able to advance?
Mr. Rong, you have studied in the West for many years. Do you have any explanation for the impending crisis in China?
This... what Mr. Zhou said is indeed true, but Hong's ability is shallow and the delay is still unclear! I hope Mr. Zhou can tell Hong how to make China wake up and take off!? Rong Hong excitedly used a pair of trembling hands,
Shout out to Zhou Yu for advice!
Zhou Yu quickly stopped Rong Hong's behavior. He looked at Rong Hong emotionally and begged Rong Hong sincerely:
I have deep admiration for Mr. Rong who has worked hard for the country and the people. I am dissatisfied with what you said, Mr. Rong. I have many bases and factories around the world. Like Mr. Rong, I have dedicated my life to development, strengthening our Chinese nation, and letting it be valued.
Back to the top of the world.
As I just said, I want to overthrow the decadent rule of the Qing Dynasty and establish a harmonious China of freedom, democracy, great harmony, and constitutional monarchy.
I would like to invite you, Mr. Rong, to be our first prime minister after overthrowing the Manchu Qing government. Sir, are you willing to agree to this for the sake of the world and the tens of millions of Chinese compatriots?
This, this is absolutely impossible! Rong Hong stood up in a hurry and postponed his speech, speaking in a hurry, as if he was afraid that Zhou Yu would interrupt his speech.
Firstly: I have few talents and little knowledge, and I cannot live up to my heavy responsibilities!
Secondly, once the Qing Dynasty is overthrown, civil war will inevitably occur. By then, the people will be in dire straits and life will be ruined.
Thirdly: The Qing Dynasty is like a centipede insect that is dead but not stiff. Once a war breaks out, it will definitely hurt the muscles and bones, and will it harm the national system?
Mr. Zhou, please think twice before you act! Rong Hong was almost in tears at the end.
Rong Hong took a breath and continued: If Mr. Zhou has the strength, he can help me carry out the Qing Reform and change the national policy, which would be the best move!
Damn it, how come the Chinese people at this time are all the same, they keep saying they want reform and reform, but have they ever thought about how they can carry out reform when their roots are rotten! What a fucking ball! Zhou Yu is speechless
, his heart almost exploded with anger!
Zhou Yu looked at the trembling and excited patriotic old man in front of him. At this moment, Rong Hong still had illusions about the Qing Dynasty. Zhou Yu really felt in his heart: How sad and lamentable!
Zhang Long, who was outside the door, rushed in angrily and pulled the bolt of the gun, waiting for further action.
Zhou Yu weakly wanted to wave to Zhang Long and invite him out...
After thinking deeply for a while, Zhou Yu stood up with a loud laugh after gathering his mood. First, he asked Rong Hong to sit down, and then he sat on the stool perfectly and asked Rong Hong with a smile;
Mr. Rong knows how strong I am?
Rong Hong answered Zhou Yu sternly: Hong didn't know, but he was willing to hear the details!
Okay! Then it doesn’t matter if I tell my husband directly.
Our Zhongyong Army Group has countless factories with an annual income of more than 100 million pounds. We have countless military industrial enterprises that can produce and equip all our armies in China within three years. We also have countless energy industries and mines with an annual output value of more than 300 million pounds.
I currently stock up on various finished raw materials worth over 200 million pounds.
I have overseas students studying abroad, countless technical talents, and more than 50,000 people return with annual training. I have countless huge ships and cannons, and I can easily capture the entire Qing Dynasty's maritime territory.
The army has nearly 200,000 fully armed regular troops, and any 50,000 of them can easily conquer the entire land of China.
I have numerous base schools. All the personnel under my jurisdiction are literate. Almost no one is illiterate. No one knows what patriotism is. They all know what their obligations are and what their rights are.
.
Why should our loyal and brave army be afraid of coming? We are afraid of how to govern and strengthen the country, and when we will be able to catch up with the countries in the West!
With the current strength of our Zhongyong Army, it will be easy to overthrow the Manchu Dynasty. So why haven't we taken action yet?
The reason is the same as what we just considered; we do not want a civil war in China, nor do we want to point our guns at our sisters and compatriots.
I think that after assimilating the powerful departments of the Qing Dynasty, it will be the best time to overthrow the decadent rule of the Manchu Dynasty. By then, there will be no possibility of civil war in China, and the only resistance will be those few ruling classes.
Not our Chinese people's soldiers.
Mr. Rong, if you don’t believe me, you can go to Hawaii and look around. Our loyal and brave army will never put up a defense against you.
