Hidden Dragon in Qing Dynasty

never thought that the Queen would bring up such a sensitive topic at this moment. The topic was filled with spring wind, but why did it suddenly change to a new topic?

Zai Chun's face turned white, two Opium Wars was an unavoidable pain for Great Qing, the face of the Empire of Tian Zhou was torn apart, this was itself a taboo within the empire, who would dare raise this topic in the country.

However, this was not the Great Qing, but the Europa that spanned across half the Earth. It was the heart of the British Empire, London! If you, Zai Chun, is unwilling, you have to be a ninja.

The Queen was indeed a master of field control. With a few words, she stirred up the mood of the crowd, causing everyone to listen attentively.

"Your Majesty, there is no need to be angry. There is an ancient Chinese saying, 'one should know when to be brave.' I agree with that saying very much, but I feel that it is not comprehensive enough …"

"Knowing the shame of failure and courageously facing it and thinking of ways to overcome it is indeed very commendable, but you have overlooked one question. That is, where did this shame come from?"

"Forgive me for speaking bluntly, but these two humiliating defeats were not given to you by us Europeans. It's not a nice statement, but it's the truth! "

"I remember the first time we sent troops to the Kingdom of Qing, there was a lot of opposition in the council. I only said one thing! "I said it very clearly …"

"This war has nothing to do with victory or defeat. My goal here in Britain is not only to benefit … More importantly, we must let the Kingdom of Qing know what the rules are! "

"We have to make the sleeping China understand that he has to follow a rule common to all mankind! What is it? That is the exchange of civilizations... "

"No one has the right to seal up their country. Civilization requires communication in order to improve, and commercial activities are the core means of human civilization's communication!"

"China has no privileges outside the global trading network! You said you don't lack anything in this place? I don't think so. How happy are the lower class citizens living in the Kingdom of Qing right now? As an emperor, you should know something … "

"If China is really as perfect and rich as you say, then why is there chaos in the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom? Why are so many people living in extreme poverty revolting? "

"In the final analysis, you all are not as perfect as you say! The so-called prosperous times, the so-called prosperity, only belongs to a small group of people. Actually, you all need more of a civilized place to communicate with each other and more of a commercial interest than us! "

"However, you all shut your own doors. You even rejected our goodwill time and time again, which resulted in the conflict and conflict becoming irreconcilable …"

"Dear Emperor, please remember that some of the rules were not made by a certain country, and we in Britain did not want to impose our rules on you. Rather, some universal rules applicable to all of humanity were rejected by you, and these rules will naturally punish you!"

"Business is one of the important driving forces of the advancement of human society, and it is also an important part of the advancement of science and technology. This is the rule of the game that benefits all mankind. I would like to ask, why don't you accept it?"

"If you don't accept the rules, the final rules will punish you. That's it!"

Zai Chun's face had already been said, but the Queen's tone suddenly became much more gentle, and she said softly, "Child … I am not blaming you, and many of the responsibilities are not yours, so you are innocent as well! "

"But I must let you know the truth about this world, and the truth is always cruel!"

"The reason why Britain is so prosperous and strong is because it has found the most important rules of the game in human society. It is also following the rules, maintaining the rules, and protecting the rules …"

"Since we are to follow, protect, and protect this rule, then the final rule will also protect our British Empire! "Business is the cornerstone of the progress of human civilization. If others do not value business, we in Britain value business, so the power of business will rush crazily into our British Empire …"

"It's not that hard to understand! In England, even kings must abide by the law, and any treaty written in black and white must be observed! And we have the world's earliest patent laws, and those who are happy inventing and creating will always be able to get a good life through their ingenuity... "

"Is it possible in the Qing Dynasty? "You have violated the spirit of the contract, and your power is above the law of nature. You can use your power to plunder other people's property, and even this has become a kind of culture!"

"Is this correct? Or is it wrong? "

The Queen said earnestly, "Child, I hope all that I have said today will help you to understand …" Soon after, the Queen's gaze turned towards Xiao Letian.

"Alright, esteemed leader, let's just let this small disagreement pass. I hope that through this small matter, you will be able to understand the British Empire better …"

At this moment, Xiao Letian was no longer able to use words to express his respect for the Queen. What kind of woman is he, his control over the field was so strong that it defied common sense.

A single spice was enough to force a palace that was just a hair's breadth away from success, and once it failed, she was able to unfold the superiority of mercantilism on the spot.

Terrifying! No matter what the situation was, this old woman would always find a chance to profit from it.

Especially the last few words of 'teaching' to Zai Chun; they were simply not a form of teaching, but a naked threat. The subtext was simply too obvious.

If you, Zai Chun, want to receive the full support of the British Empire, then there is only one way, and that is to walk the British mercantilism.

He would not receive any support!

Zai Chun laughed bitterly as he lifted his wine cup: "Great Queen, I admire your wisdom. I empathize with you for saying these words …"

"Indeed, there have been two unhappy wars between Great Qing and Great Britain, and the war has accumulated a lot of resentment in my Great Qing!"

"But I am not a narrow-minded person! There is still peace in war, but that is the darkness and light that cannot be avoided if human society moves forward … "

"Excuse me for being blunt, but even if everyone present were here, with so many countries in Europe, which one of them has never had a war before? As far as I know, Europe has experienced far more wars in the past thousands of years than China... "

"English and French has a Hundred Years War, but we can still work together now. America and Britain had an independent war before, and at this moment, the two countries can still coexist peacefully …"

"War is not a normal thing. People have to move forward!"

"Alright, let us toast the great Queen with this goblet of wine!" Cheers! "

Zai Chun replied beautifully. Xiao Letian also stood up with a gratified heart, it seemed that his disciple did not teach him in vain. He seemed to have fully understood the logic behind the previous explanation.

"Cheers!" The hall was suddenly filled with cheers.
