Jagged Warlord

230. Confession

The people in the audience began to whisper, Cai E said: "Everyone knows that I was the first to raise troops against Yuan Shikai's proclaiming emperor. I opposed Yuan Shikai's dictatorship, but why did I support Li Mohan's dictatorship? The reason is very simple, because His goals are acceptable to me. As we all know, although I belong to the constitutionalists, I only support gradual reforms. If you want me to stand in front of the palace, proclaim your title, hold a notebook to meet His Majesty, bow your head and kneel in fear, then I I am determined not to. Therefore, if Yuan Shikai wants to do this, I have to fight him. But if you just plan to be an imperial consul like Rome, then I can accept it. After all, this is just a relationship between superiors and subordinates , not the master-slave relationship between the emperor's courtiers. Besides, in the final analysis, as a soldier, I, Cai E, must obey Shangfeng's orders."

After being said by Cai E, everyone suddenly felt that some small knots in their hearts were relieved a lot. Cai E's mentality is actually the mentality of most of the people present.

Li Mohan continued: "I'm here to say hello to you first. I'm not a peace-loving person. Once I unify the country, I will put external expansion on the agenda. Why? There are many lands that originally belonged to our country They were occupied by foreigners. For example, in the northeast and northwest, the Russians alone occupied more than 100 million square kilometers of our land. For example, Taiwan, Penghu, Lushun, Qingdao, Weihai, Guangzhou Bay, etc. I call them foreigners. Give it back to us, and you have to calculate interest with them. Therefore, whether it is to unify China or regain lost territory abroad, there must be fierce battles, killing corpses and blood, and hundreds of thousands of people will die directly or indirectly in our country. Of course, there may be millions or even tens of millions of Orientals and Westerners who died directly or indirectly in our hands. You and I will have bloody hands. If any of you feel that such killing is too evil Heavy, I can't bear it, and those who are worried about going to the [-]th floor of hell after death, please do it yourself."

Everyone in the audience gasped, even Cai E and Jiang Fangzhen heard Li Mohan say such words for the first time.Although it was just talk, Li Mohan casually said hundreds of thousands, millions or even tens of millions of killings, as if these human lives were just a numerical concept, which made people feel a little palpitating.

Liang Qichao in the audience said: "Mohan's words are a bit alarmist. Although it is said that one will be successful, but it is not as exaggerated as what Mohan said?"

Li Mohan smiled and said: "Mr. Zhuo Ru, you are a great scholar who understands the past and the present. You should know the history. During the Spring and Autumn and Warring States period, Qin Shihuang destroyed the six kingdoms. How many people were killed? The battle of Changping alone cost 40 people, not to mention the later ones." The Mongol Yuan destroyed the Song Dynasty, killed people of five surnames, and tens of millions of Han people died. The Manchus destroyed the Ming Dynasty, and the population of Han people dropped from more than 4000 million to less than [-] million."

Liang Qichao couldn't refute it, because it was a fact.

Li Mohan said: "Most of you have never been abroad, and you don't know the history of the West. The history of those Westerners who became rich and powerful is a history of bloody massacres and plunders against other nations. Spain is a white colonizer. The pioneers. Their crimes began from the time of Columbus. Columbus himself slaughtered Indians who were not hostile to him, and raped Indian girls who were underage. The extreme raging. There was a book called "The Destruction of the West Indies". This book was written by a priest with a conscience. It recorded the heinous atrocities of the Spaniards in America. The atrocities of the white people It's amazing how long a book could have been. The Spaniards took killing very lightly, and could kill any Indian or a village of Indians they saw if they pleased or not. They even put The Indians who received them kindly tricked them into the temple and burned them all. They kidnapped the Inca king and extorted gold from the Indians. After getting the gold, they treacherously hanged the Inca king. The Inca king angrily accused them of the gallows: "I am like a brother." Treat you, why are you so ruthless! "And the only answer he had was the white man's smirk."

More than Spain?Those Caucasians who thought they were racially superior, and those European colonists who regarded themselves as polite and polite gentlemen, all became wild when they got off the boat.Their bloody fingerprints and footprints are left all over the world.Africa, America, Asia, Oceania... From Spain, grapes, England, France, Germany, Belgium, Italy, and even the United States, which still regards itself as a free liberator, which one is not a demon king with blood on his hands?

White colonists are best at killing people, especially innocent people.As early as the period of Akbar the Great of the Mughal Dynasty in India, there were records of the Dutch and Portuguese killing and plundering the east coast.Each time, India lost more than a thousand people.

The French are the most romantic nation.It was so romantic that when it invaded Egypt, it killed all the men in the entire village; it was so romantic that in order to deter the rebels in Haiti, as soon as the boat docked, they disembarked without speaking, and first killed everyone in a nearby village.This is also a common hobby of all white colonists.

Russian Cossack soldiers in the northeast used axes and whips to drive Chinese residents into the freezing Heilongjiang River and shot them to death.In Hailanpao and 64 villages, the Russians killed thousands of Chinese residents with knives, guns, flooding, and burning.

The British colonists were very cautious. They didn't deliberately kill people. They just killed as many natives as possible to ensure their own safety.In Australia, for "their own safety", the white manor owners feasted hundreds of nearby black residents who were not hostile, and poisoned them all with poisonous pudding; for "their own safety", they also used smallpox patients sold to blacks, thereby spreading smallpox among the black natives.

Americans are no exception. The Protestants, known as the foundation of the country in the United States, soon forgot the friendly help given to them by the Indians in the initial difficult period, and formulated a reward system for the scalps of the Indians.During the British colonial rule, the system of rewarding Indian scalps existed all the time, and it was promulgated in the name of Her Majesty the Queen.Most historians believe that the total number of North American Indians exceeded 1000 million. By the end of the 19th century, there were only about 20 left.Hitler’s concentration camp killed about one-third of the Jews in the world, so it is undoubtedly determined as genocide. Then, judging from the remaining population of Indians, Hitler “only killed” one-third of the Jews. Much less than "killing" Indians.

Everyone was dumbfounded, all of them were frightened by these numbers, and some even touched their scalps subconsciously.

Li Mohan said: "Don't think this is cruel, or something serious. This is very common, it is a historical reality, or more fundamental. This is called the natural competition of species. Natural selection, survival of the fittest. This It is the foundation of Darwin's theory of evolution. Some of you who have returned from studying abroad should have heard of this theory. Just like lions and tigers can't raise enough to eat sheep and rabbits is cruel, and we don't think it's cruel to eat pigs and cows. Goats and chickens are just as cruel to kill and eat their meat."

Ha Hanzhang, Li Yuanhong's aide in the audience, said: "I am also a Chinese, and I know the crisis of the country. But if you want to fight against foreigners, you can't win by just talking. Not to mention that there are Feng Guozhang and Duan Qirui in the south now. , Ni Sichong, Wang Zhanyuan and others are eyeing up."

Li Mohan said with a smile: "I don't want to eat a fat man with one bite. First of all, we must unify China first, and this timetable will be set in the next 5-7 years. Even if China is unified, we need to build a large-scale construction and lay a solid foundation. This process will take at least 10 to 15 years. Therefore, I think the large-scale direct expansion of the use of troops abroad should not be earlier than 1940. We still have more than 20 years, which is almost the time for a group of people to prepare. "

"Ten years of life gather ten years of lessons!" Someone quoted

"That's understandable."

Li Mohan thought for a while, and suddenly said: "I don't belong to this era. I am a person who lived more than 100 years later. I came here by destiny to lead the people and the country on the road to prosperity. I don't want history to repeat itself. "

Some people in the audience began to snicker, it's too nonsense for people who are more than 100 years later.

Li Mohan decided to take a gamble, so he narrated the history from the dispute between the government and court to the restoration of Zhang Xun, to the melee between warlords, the Northern Expedition of the Kuomintang, and the Japanese invasion of China.At first everyone thought that Li Mohan was making up a story, but after listening to it, they felt that what Li Mohan said was very logical, and it didn't seem like he was just making it up.

Cai E said: "What the Prime Minister said is somewhat credible. The Japanese are not ambitious about our country for a day or two, and it is not impossible to invade our country on a large scale. It's just that Zhang Xun's restoration did not appear. Is that since the Prime Minister you After coming to this era, disrupt the original history?"

Li Mohan smiled and replied: "That's right, I killed Zhang Xun before 1917, so I replaced Zhang Xun and brought troops to Beijing to mediate in the court dispute."

"So, in this way, history has changed. After that, what you said about the melee of warlords, there should be no Japanese invasion of China, right?" Liang Qichao asked

"Not necessarily." Li Mohan shook his head and said: "The development of history is a huge wheel, like a destiny. I am just a small pebble, which may make the wheel bump and temporarily deviate from the track, just like a fortune teller sometimes It can help you change your luck. But the general direction has not changed. Therefore, I will gather thousands of people with lofty ideals and work hard to change the destiny of our country."

Du Banlin smiled in the audience, and said, "Many of me are Zhang Zuolin's old aides, and the Prime Minister still uses me, so you are not afraid that I am in Cao Ying and my heart is in Han?"

Li Mohan smiled and replied: "The Prime Minister said that you are Zhang Zuolin's old staff, but including Zhang Zuolin himself, you are Chinese first and foremost. You are public servants who should serve the country, not someone's private servants. Besides, Zhang Zuolin is not Liu Bei, and now he is even more invincible."

Du Banlin tasted the taste of Li Mohan's words, and said with a smile: "The prime minister's mind and stomach are better than Zhang Yuting's. As long as we stick to our duties, we will definitely be reused in the future." Yuan Jinkai and others listened to Du Banlin's words. Also calm down, concentrate on work, and manage Fengtian in an orderly manner.

After Fengtian was quickly pacified, Meng Enyuan of Jilin and Xu Lanzhou of Heilongjiang were very acquainted and surrendered to Li Mohan.Meng Enyuan's roots in Jilin were not deep, otherwise he would not have been easily driven away by Zhang Zuolin in history.As for Xu Lanzhou's generation, they were only soldiers, and had no prestige and no one in the local area. How could they compare with Song Xiaolian and Zhu Qinglan?As a result, the three northeastern provinces were quickly incorporated into Li Mohan's management system and became the rear of Li Mohan Group.
