In the past, when taking history classes, especially modern history, Xi Tong felt indescribable depression and sadness.
Seeing the bullying and dismemberment of China by the great powers, Xi Tong could not help but imagine that he could travel through time and change history.
Now, Xi Tong has done it.
The First Opium War was defeated by Xi Tong before it even started. Most importantly, all this was done without leaving a trace. Everyone, including Pu Dingcha, believed that this was purely a natural disaster and God's will.
Therefore, Pu Dingcha, who was lucky enough to save his life, became a staunch opponent of the main god of the system.
He had just worshiped the main god of the system before going on the expedition, but he encountered a typhoon as soon as he entered the sea. What does this mean?
This shows that the system master is not effective!
When the Japanese people next door learned about this, they all shouted "Kamikaze".
Because when the Mongols were sweeping across the world hundreds of years ago, they attacked Japan twice across the sea. As a result, they encountered typhoons both times, causing heavy casualties. The Japanese people all believed that they were protected by the divine wind.
Now, history is repeating itself, and Japanese people can't help but feel sad: It turns out that Kamikaze does not only favor itself, or in other words, it is just incidental to protect itself.
Although the Manchu and Qing court officials did not take the opium dealers seriously, they all celebrated when they learned that the opium dealers' fleet had been wiped out.
They all believed that the Qing Dynasty was favored by heaven and that the country would last forever. The current rebellion of the hungry people was nothing to mention. The heavenly soldiers would immediately fall apart as soon as they arrived...
However, just when their rainbow farts were flying all over the sky, the Qing emperor kicked off his legs and died - his life span was over and he was unable to support him.
The new emperor ascended the throne, and the old emperor's coffin was also sent to the underground imperial mausoleum. The simple transfer of power attracted the attention of the whole world.
On this day, Xi Tong clearly felt that the "purple air" covering the Holy See had grown in size, reaching about one-third of its size.
At the same time, Xi Tong clearly felt that a force of luck was attached to him.
This feeling had appeared when the Pudingcha fleet was destroyed, but it was only very short-lived, making Xi Tong think it was an illusion.
Now, the feeling is more permanent and clearer.
This feeling is similar to the power of faith, but it is more majestic, grander, and vaster than the power of faith.
The power of faith in the devotion of living beings is like tiny flakes of light, the size of sesame seeds. Each time the worship is successful, there is only a little power of faith.
The one in front of me is like a big watermelon, and it keeps flowing.
Following this power back in time, Xi Tong immediately saw vast mountains and rivers, splendid rivers, the Yangtze and Yellow Rivers, the four seas and the five mountains...
Xi Tong finally understood that this power did not come from a certain creature, but from a country.
This is the legendary dragon vein and national destiny.
"The country also has faith?"
As soon as this question popped up in his mind, Xi Tong already knew the answer.
People often say "national will" and "motherland". Obviously, the country is not just a geographical concept, but also has been given more high-level connotations.
The Manchus entered the country, consumed the country's dragon veins to practice zombie techniques, and ravaged the country's will for two hundred years.
However, the Manchu Qing Dynasty was so powerful that the national destiny had to succumb.
The consecration ceremony of the Holy See was successful, Dorgon died, and the national destiny of the Manchu Qing Dynasty was cut in half. Half of the national destiny of the Qing Dynasty was transferred southward and attached to the Holy See.
This famine once again consumed the few national fortunes of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, leaving the Manchu Qing Dynasty in a state of turmoil.
Originally, this Opium War would grind the Manchus to the ground and wear away the last bit of their national destiny.
It's just that Puding's investigation was superfluous. He first went to the Holy See in Huacheng to worship, and was clearly arranged by Xi Tong.
When the Qing emperor was alive, the national destiny still had a dependency. Once the Qing emperor collapsed, these national destiny immediately became ownerless and were immediately attracted to the south.
When a new emperor ascends the throne, the first thing he does is to seize the dragon's luck and practice it. The country's luck, which is not much in the first place, is directly fished from the swamp, killing the goose to get the eggs, and completely wasting them away.
There is a saying in China that the heaven and the earth are the spiritual beings inhabited by the virtuous.
The Huacheng Holy See has done so many good deeds and changed the course of history. It is not only the will of the people, but also the general trend. The choice of the Holy See for the national destiny is both an accident and an inevitable one.
As a god that the Holy See believes in and worships, it naturally becomes the object on which the national destiny depends.
Xi Tong rubbed his chin and thought to himself: No wonder so many countries like to engage in ****.
If the power of faith contributed by ordinary people is 1, then the power of faith contributed by the country is 10,000, and it is 10,000 per second.
Before Xi Tong obtained the world of the Qing Empire, his total power of faith was less than 5 billion, which would be equivalent to a net worth of 50 currencies in heaven.
After acquiring the world of the Qing Empire, money and religion went hand in hand. Three months later, Xi Tong gained a total of 500 million in the power of faith.
This is only the contribution of Guangdong, Guangxi, Lianghu and several surrounding provinces. If the power of the Holy See spread throughout the Qing Empire, the power of faith gained by Xi Tong would have to be doubled several times.
Thanks to the fact that the common people have been tamed by the Qing Dynasty for two hundred years, each one of them is very loyal (ignorant) and very easy to fool. Coupled with the inducement of small cards, it is possible to harvest 500 million in a short period of time, averaging 500 million per day.
After gaining the attachment of the country's will, 10,000 per second is 800 million per day.
Xi Tong thought about it for a while.
The power of faith of living beings is not fixed. You may believe in the main god of the system one day, but not tomorrow.
Moreover, the life span of living beings is short, and they will return to dust after a few decades. Moreover, religious organizations, like countries, can easily become corrupted and ruin the reputation of God.
In other words, obtaining the power of faith from living beings is very unstable, fluctuates too much, and is difficult to sustain for a long time.
The power of faith provided by the will of the country is very stable and continuous.
It's just that there are many creatures and they are easy to bewitched, while the will of the country is few and basically impossible to tame.
Among other things, the national will of the Titan Kingdom has not been tamed, and the imperial will of the Red Tong World has not been tamed.
As for the will of the country in front of him, Xi Tong could only lament that the Manchu Qing Dynasty was such a powerful opponent. It had trampled the will of a country for two hundred years and wiped away all its dignity and confidence.
Think about it, China has always been the big brother, and has been the leader in the world for thousands of years, leading the world's trends.
By the time the Manchu Qing Dynasty was in dire straits, it was getting worse and worse. In another hundred years, there was even a crisis of national subjugation and genocide.
What big brother can tolerate this?
Therefore, Xi Tong's warmth at this time was just right and wonderful. The national will, which had been wronged for two hundred years, directly recognized Xi Tong.
Following the connection of faith, Xi Tong saw the appearance of the dragon vein of national destiny - a ball of light that was constantly moving, furry and round.
Xi Tong thought to himself: It would be great if it was a rabbit.
As soon as he thought about it, the dragon vein of the national destiny immediately took the shape of a rabbit - exactly what Xi Tong had in mind, a rabbit wearing a green military uniform with a red five-star on top.
"Uh...is this still possible? Is the will of the country alive?"
After careful observation, we find that it is not the case. The national will is a fusion of the thoughts of billions or tens of billions of people. It has no "self", let alone consciousness, and appears to be muddled.
Xi Tong couldn't help but think: The rabbit is here, and the bear, eagle sauce, stick and chicken are not far away.
A rabbit only costs 800 million per day, and the others are about the same. Even if there is not 800 million, the meat of mosquito legs is still meat...
