Hidden Dragon in Qing Dynasty

Xiang Ying's eyes immediately lit up. Just at this time, the door to the conference room not far away was pushed open, and Cai Bixia stuck her head out and shouted, "The kitchen has prepared dinner, eat your meal now!"

"Don't worry about us, we won't eat anymore!" The master and disciple both shouted at the same time, but immediately after, they both froze and then started to laugh slyly.

Cai Bixia was startled and asked, "Are you sick?" She slammed the hatch shut and ignored them.

At this time, the sky had already turned completely dark. Every corner of Zhiyuan Warship's cabin, as well as between the stairs and stairs, were hung with windproof kerosene lamps. From afar, hundreds of kerosene lamps shone down, outlining the graceful curves of the entire battleship.

Under the dim light, the two of them lit up a cigarette and continued their conversation.

"Xiang Ying! Although I, Xiao Letian have prestige in the Chinese Clan, do you think I have prestige in the Great Qing? If I were to lead my troops to kill my way back to the Great Qing and raise a flag against my enemies, how many citizens would you say would support me? "

Xiang Ying thought about it carefully and then shook his head with furrowed brows, "Forgive me for being blunt, but one in ten …"

"Haha, you're flattering me!" How is that one in ten, or one in a hundred! " Xiao Letian shook his head and sighed, "In this world, the most stubborn person is the human heart, and the most fickle person is also the human heart. Since ancient times, rebellion is just a work of art, not even considering the changes in dynasties that come from the bloody battles of the Golden Spear Iron Horse, I am more willing to believe that the mechanisms and schemes will go along with the plans of the people to carry out a revolution!"

"The Chinese people see me as their savior because they have already accepted my latest nationalistic ideas. The obligatory student groups on the streets of Ryukyu are the result of these ideas and no one is forcing them …"

"The Chinese who are overseas are a group of people who have their eyes opened to the world. They know how powerful the Western Powers is, they know how weak the Great Qing is, and they have also tasted the feeling of being bullied by the foreign people. Now, they have met someone who can give them hope … "That will be me. Naturally, I will resolutely rely on him …"

"But the Great Qing is different. That country is sealed, and the citizens can't move from their hometowns. If you do not have any achievements, then even if you leave your hometown for a hundred miles, your relatives will have to open up a path for you!"

"In addition to the extreme secrecy of the news, even the citizens of the county do not know what is happening in this world! The CIA had once secretly investigated. Only 50% of the citizens in the province knew about the war that happened when the British and French combined forces attacked the Beijing.

"You don't have to be surprised, only half of us know. In the villages in the south, many commoners have never heard of British and French combined forces, and don't even know what it is …"

"In Shanxi, the proportion of people who knew about the war dropped directly to 25%, in Henan to 23% and in Shandong to 21% …"

"This is the Central Plains, a large coastal province. As for the other inland provinces, such as Shaanxi, Gansu, Sichuan, Guizhou and so on …" No more than 3% of the people know about the war. Think about it, in this extremely closed and ignorant environment, who do you think will follow? "

Xiang Ying was startled and mumbled, "Yes! They did not know what the world is like, and they did not even know that Xiao Letian exists. They did not even know that the Prime Minister exists in this world, so how could the human heart be useful to you? "

"Traditional! That's right, it's not wrong, the one who is controlling the hearts of the people in Great Qing is not the Emperor, but the traditional, the power of inertia.

With a smack, Xiao Letian snapped his fingers, "That's right, that's right! You guessed right, it's a habit … Every single citizen of Great Qing is not someone who popped out from nowhere. They have parents, grandparents, three relatives, six friends! "

"At his side, countless people were using their usual actions to brainwash them. Grandfather is telling the story of Master Kang Xi, Grandfather is telling the legend of Master Yongzheng, Father is telling about the flowers in the dryad … In addition to that, there was also the selective instigation from the storyteller and Mr. Book Lover, which naturally led to the formation of a so-called loyal and patriotic thought! "

"I remember telling you guys in a small class! "Man is a very mysterious thing. When his outlook on life, values and the world took shape at the age of 20, he would normally be able to control it for the rest of his life …"

"Humans are very stubborn. When they reach 18 or 20 years of age and form some kind of thought, they would be like a tree taking root and controlling them for a lifetime. Their strong self-awareness would make him constantly brainwash himself!"

"Wash what? I am the most correct person to have instilled in myself the thought of 'I am always right'. What my father said is also the most correct, and what my grandfather and relatives said is even more correct.

"Aren't there countless of such people in the world? How many adults have a quarrel or even a fight because of different thoughts? In the end, it's because you denied my knowledge and said I was wrong! "This is what the Buddha said I'm stubborn!"

"I do!" Being obsessed with oneself as the center is always the best right for oneself. The wrong will always be other people, and it will always be society! Such a person would have become a slave to his own thoughts, which, in fact, had been inculcated and brainwashed by the environment before the age of 18! "

"Haha …" Do you still remember the story of the West Water Gate? Oh, I'm sorry, I forgot that you just returned back home. You may not have heard the story of the Tanggu … "

"I just want those refugees to let go of their wives and daughters' feet, cut off their braids, and get paid for their jobs, don't I? Are these requests excessive? In fact, it's not excessive at all, but there are still countless people who choose to refuse.

"Why? This kind of behavior was also human nature! Just as I said, the human heart is stubborn and refuses to change. But at the same time, he still wants to share his happiness without changing even a little bit of it! "

"Do you think I can change a Great Qing like that? Am I to reason with a population of 400 to 500 million? Do I have the ability to affect everyone? "

"Please! I am also a human, not a god. I cannot defeat the deep-rooted obsession in people's hearts! "

Xiao Letian stood there with a lonely expression, his body moving up and down like a mountain. At that moment, Xiang Ying clearly felt the old and tired expression on the Prime Minister's face.

"Is there no other way? Could it be that the citizens of the Great Qing would be allowed to follow their so-called habit and sink into oblivion? To fall asleep in a dream of loyalty and patriotism? "
