C739 Meditation

Zai Chun suddenly realized that his master had gone silent, holding onto the wine cup in his hand, he stared blankly at the dark blue Osaka's Bay, the sunlight, the jade wave, the sailboat … The beautiful scenery that was reflected in Xiao Letian's eyes was flickering with a perplexed expression.

He knew that his master was thinking. He must be thinking about something very important. Perhaps he was thinking about the problem that the Ministry of Revenue had given him. Master has already promised to accept the debt of 4 million silver taels in my name, but this is far from enough. If the Imperial Court wants to return to normal, it will need at least 10 million silver taels.

Zai Chun waved for the maid and the guards to withdraw. He sat behind Xiao Letian alone and gently fanned himself as he looked at his master's back.

This is a man like Mt. Tai, if he was not the Prime Minister of Ryukyu, but my Great Qing's Prime Minister, how great that would be! Yes, I have decided that after my personal government, I will restore the Prime Minister system of the Han and Tang Dynasties. My master is the first real Prime Minister of Qing Dynasty.

Xiao Letian didn't know what Zai Chun was thinking, he was trying to weigh the pros and cons. According to the emotions of the future generations, the death of the last feudal dynasty was certain. In the history of mankind, there were very few empires that could rule for more than three hundred years.

Everything was divided into four stages: life and death, including a power. Therefore, Xiao Letian would never sincerely extend Manchu dynasty's life, he did not even have that piece of hair on the back of his head.

But Xiao Letian had also thought about it, although the Qing Dynasty was doomed to die, this was an irreversible rule in history, but the method to die could be chosen.

The idea of forming an army to arm the Han people and then overthrow the Qing Dynasty to fight in the black water of White Mountain City to build a great empire belonged to the Chinese people was very rich but too realistic.

If Xiao Letian did this, the majority of the Han people would support him. As long as he had enough money, he could drive the Manchu out of seclusion in three or four years.

But then what? The Manchu and the Han Chinese became foreign countries and foreign races. The Mongolian and Han Chinese became foreign countries and foreign races. The Tibetan people, Uighur people and the pars dorsalis would also declare independence. They would not listen to the Chinese's orders.

Never forget, Mongolia, Uighur, Tibetan, pars dorsalis … At this point in time, these border races, who have been plaguing China for thousands of years, are giving allegiance to the Manchu, not to the Han Chinese.

Once the great battle began, it might even last for a hundred years! The fruits of two hundred years of national integration would then be swept away.

The idea of overthrowing the military had long been rejected. What about the second option? Learn from Yuan Shikai, use a scheme to take advantage of the situation and force the Qing Dynasty to go down?

Through all kinds of hard work, it caused the governing foundation of the Qing Dynasty to become more and more loose. In the end, it gave the Manchu royal family a preferential treatment policy, allowing them to voluntarily declare their abdication. This was also one way.

A proclamation of abdication not only made possible the peaceful transfer of power in the history of China, but also made possible the Five Clans.

"As a result of the civil army's incident in the past, the provinces were in a corresponding state, the nine summers were boiling over, and life and death were being annihilated. Special orders were given to Yuan Shikai and the representatives of the civilian army to discuss the general situation, to discuss the opening meeting of the country, and to decide on the political system. "In the past two months, there has been no clear solution. The north and the south have been separated, and each side has been at each other's throats. They have been cut off from the rest of the world and left to the wild."

The message indicated that the entire country had fallen into a serious civil war, and for Yuan Shikai to be ordered to negotiate with the civilians and the military, it showed that the Qing Dynasty did not have the thought of a full-fledged war, or to speak about the capabilities of a full-fledged war.

"In the minds of the people of the country today, there is a tendency towards the Republic. Since the Southern and Central Provinces have initiated it, the generals of the North have advocated it as well. "They used the appearance of great influence, the internal affairs of the people, and the special powers of the emperor to rule over the whole country. They defined it as the constitution of the republican country. They comforted the people in the sea to loathe the idea of governing, and they cooperated with the ancient sage to do justice to the world …"

Alright, since Empress Dowager Long didn't want to hide it, she said it directly. Since everyone wishes for the Republic, then I will take the emperor and hand over the authority to them. Please remember, we were the ones who took the initiative to hand it over, not the words the two of us said when the Beijing's cannons bombarded the Forbidden City.

"In the past, Yuan Shikai was elected as the General Secretary by the Administration Council, and when the new and old times were involved, it was advisable for them to unite the north and the south, that is, Yuan Shikai would use his complete authority to organize a provisional government of the Republic of China and negotiate a unified method with the army of the people. The people would block the way, and the people would settle down, and the whole land would be filled with people, the Han people, the Meng people, and the people would return and hide their complete territories, making it a great place for the Great Republic of China. "Here it is."

The last piece of meat was finally here, and this was the most valuable point of the abdication edict. It was still the complete territory of Han, Meng, Hui, and Tibetan races, a large part of the Republic of China.

These words completely dispelled any attempts to split up the vast regions of Eastern Three Provinces, Mongolia, Qinghai, and Tibet, including Xinjiang.

All those years ago, you all swore your loyalty in front of the Manchu and acknowledged the authority of the Great Qing Emperor. It has already been two hundred years, how many of you are alive and seem to be bestowed with the title of royalty? How many pars dorsalis, Mongol princes and ministers were resigned to their fate by the Emperor? Almost all the people in the borders needed the title of Qing Dynasty Emperor to ensure the purity of the law.

Now that the Sect Leader had spoken, bringing Man-Han Dynasty back to its complete territory and converging it into a Great Chinese Republic, that was one of the biggest contributions of the Qing Dynasty to China.

Someone might have said that since your Qing Dynasty has abdicated, the officials and officials of the minority clans of the borders can ignore you, can't we just directly become independent?

Yes, there was nothing wrong with that statement, and it was very true that there were many people who had done so. But don't forget that at the same time you betrayed a regime, you had also lost the power that regime had bestowed upon you.

For example, if your living Buddha title was conferred by the dryad Emperor, and each generation of reincarnations requires the Qing Ting to bestow it once, then after you betray the Qing Ting, your name would naturally not be inherited. This is the purity of the law.

The nobles of Xinjiang and Mongolia, it was the same. This title was given to you by Master Kang Xi, you have ruled a large grassland for 200 years, and now you want to rebel? Then you can't use this prince's name anymore. Even if it's used, no one will listen to it.

Don't think that righteousness is useless. You can just give yourself a title and see if anyone believes you? I'm afraid most of the herdsmen will think of you as a lunatic. Even if you take a group of people with you for a short period of time, you won't get the heart of the people.
