C827 Borrowing a knife to kill someone

"No matter what China is going to become... "I'm afraid this old one will not be able to see that day, and you youngsters will have your own choices …" Ceng Guofan grabbed Xiao Letian's wrist, his nails digging into his flesh.

"No matter what monarchy you do in the future, what republics, what democracies... Even if you, Xiao Letian, wanted to be the Emperor, I, Ceng Guofan, would not care. But I have two conditions! "

"One, you can't get rid of this land of over ten million square kilometers. If you end up with a damaged land …" I will take your life even as a ghost! "

"Second, you can't fight a civil war. At the very least, you have to assure me that you don't have any intention of fighting a civil war... "Except for those traitors who must be killed, you must not use your blade or gun against those who disobey you!"

Xiao Letian laughed bitterly and said, "Marshal, don't you know my temper? Up till now, I have been hiding in the Ryukyu to peacefully develop, and I don't even dare to meddle in the interests of the country. I can guarantee you that what you want is what I want! "But the second …"

Shaking his head, he pulled out his hand. "You know better than me what a Chinese is. He is an insider in internal strife!"

With these words, Ceng Guofan's tears almost fell. He let out a long sigh and roared, "Give me the wine!" Mao immediately brought in a bottle of Xiyang wine. It was too early in the morning for the marshal to drink hard liquor.

After drinking the dark red wine in one gulp, Ceng Guofan's eyes started to glaze over, as if he had sunk into his memories. "I will never forget that scene for the rest of my life. After the civil war, the citizens will suffer greatly. Do you know how many people died in Jiangnan after being suppressed by Long-hair for the past ten years?"

"Actually, I know that you've already gathered a group of Taiping Army survivors. I already knew that … "But I don't care anymore. The chief evil has been eliminated, and the Sword and Weapon Tribulation is over. Let's leave a path for them to live …"

"My ninth brother kept urging me to take another step forward, but I know that our Zeng Family has killed far too many people. Even if an emperor were to order us around, we would have already wasted it …"

Xiao Letian did not believe in this kind of fatalism in the first place, but since he had already transcended worlds, he did not dare to belittle himself too much with regards to this karma and the various fatalism.

"Marshal, are you thinking too much?" How can there be an emperor in the world who doesn't kill people? Isn't that empire just a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood? "

"Haha …" Ceng Guofan laughed bitterly: "It's not the same. From generation to generation, when emperors killed people, they killed to stop them. Ming Tai Zu killed the people of Yuan Dynasty because the Han people couldn't take it anymore, they were almost starved to death and bullied to death. At that time, when he killed, he would have to shoulder the consequences.

During the time of Liu Bang's founding, he had also killed to stop them, and in the end, the world was thrown into chaos when they were attacked by thieves all around, making the citizens miserable. For Liu Bang to be able to kill them, naturally, he gained the people's prestige by killing them.

"Forget it, let's not talk about this anymore. Anyways, I, Ceng Guofan, am nicknamed Ceng Titou. I've killed so many long hairs, and in the end, the Han people hate me. Therefore, it's impossible for someone like me to get any closer … Tell me about your plan, and see if you and I agree. "

Xiao Letian nodded his head: "It's not that you can't fulfill the two requests of the marshal, it's just that the difficulty is a little high. Let's talk about the first problem, which is to clear the existing territories, if you want to not lose anything, or more accurately, you have to firmly grasp the righteous name in the hands of the Manchu!"

"Regardless of whether we like it or not, the Manchu has united the Mongolian, Tibetan, pars dorsalis and other races. They all worship the Manchu as their master and accept its rule. It is precisely because they want their land that they cannot lose their righteous name in the Manchu …"

"But according to Manchu's current state, wanting to make this country good is completely impossible. Didn't Ci Xi say that we should measure up to China's resources and make this country happy? In the end, Manchu still does not consider us to be a family!"

"Once there is a conflict, these barbarians will use the benefits of the Han people to exchange for the safety of their families." Once there is a conflict, these barbarians will use the benefits of the Han people to exchange for the safety of their families.

"Thus, we can foresee that in the coming decades, or even centuries, the Qing Dynasty Group will continue to sell out their country for their own benefits. Of course, the main reason is still to sell out the interests of the Chinese in exchange for their continued lives, just like blood transfusions …"

Ceng Guofan was not angry, but he calmed down.
