Turning over the history of the struggle of the Chinese nation is actually just a history of fishes eating small fish as a result of national integration. Originally, there was no Han nationality in this world. Before the Han Dynasty, there was only one concept in people's minds, and that was' China '.

This is not China on the nouns of later generations, but China on geography as well as economy, culture including military. The center of the world had the most powerful productivity, the most advanced technology, and the most attractive culture. It was the dream country of all the foreign races.

China was a country where the foreign races would curse their weakness every day, but would love to live in person. This had nothing to do with bloodlines, but represented the desire for happiness in the human heart.

Before entering the Central Plains, the foreign races that had lived around the Central Plains had always coveted to destroy China by military means, to rob its population and wealth, and to rob it of the blissful life they had yearned for.

However, reality had taught them a cruel lesson time and time again. Every time a foreign race invaded China, they would be turned into a powerful Chinese culture within a short period of time. No matter which nation it was from, they would not be able to avoid this curse.

Why? In fact, this is related to the original human desire, who does not like the rich life? When the wild people on the other side of the pass, who would miss the taste of raw meat when they discovered that the meat cooked by exquisite kitchen utensils was more delicious than raw meat?

When the blue scented Central Plains girl with skin like congealed oil entered the barbarians' hearts, who would dare to look at those female tribesmen who were biting like buckets and whose skin was covered with mud, yelling and cursing all day?

When they found that recording history with words was much more accurate and convenient than recording it with murals and songs, they put down their swords to learn calligraphy.

Civilization's assimilation process is actually a process of blissful life assimilating an unlucky life. Imagine if your life in the Central Plains were so perfect that it would be a problem for you to eat salt, cook without an iron pot, or even live in a house during the winter. Would you still be able to adapt to it like your ancestors?

The Chinese people had left behind countless memories and a glorious history. Almost every person who had gone through the history books would curse the weak Song Dynasty and the corruption at the end of the Ming Dynasty. The history of China being bullied by the foreign races was the untouchable pain in every Chinese person's heart.

Even though a thousand years had passed, the Han Chinese still could not forget this pain. They would always mention it with a few curses and two mouthfuls of saliva.

However, all the Han Chinese neglected this point. How could a small tribe that originated from the Yellow River Basin in the Central Plains become a united nation of over ten million square kilometers? So much land, so much living space, was it all for nothing?

If you can jump out of the circle of emotional analysis history, you will find that it is the suffering that made China and China that made history. No matter how arrogant and arrogant the people around China were in the past, in the end, they would be swallowed up by China and change their nation.

In actuality, when one's state of mind reached the level of Ceng Guofan and Xiao Letian, it was impossible for them not to analyze such problems, including the emperors of the Manchu, especially those heroic lords who had just established their country.

Honestly speaking, the Qing Dynasty was ruled by a foreign race in the Central Plains. In the thousands of years of history, he could be considered one of the best of the minority, because they knew how to analyze history and learn. They were constantly thinking about how to escape the control of the Chinese spell on the minority.

Be it Kang Xi or the Yongzheng, both of them had that indistinct curse in their hearts that affected them. They had been pondering for two hundred years about how to escape from this reincarnation cycle.

Xiao Letian obviously knew that no matter how much the grasshoppers hopped, they would not be able to escape the cold winds of winter. The fact that the Manchu's land had been assimilated into China was fate, and not something that Ci Xi's group could resist.

However, Xiao Letian had to admit that the Manchu race was much more successful than the other nations in history. In terms of the length of time they had ruled over China and its depth, any of the empires in the Central Plains would not be a match for the Qing Dynasty.

In these two hundred years, the Manchu had gone all out to study the Chinese, the Confucianism, and the landowner class. Gradually, these people found a set of classic rules that restricted the Chinese.

Shaving hair and changing clothes, using slaves to govern slaves, bringing Meng to hide and return to an alliance, supporting Qing Liu to fight against the Han Manipulation … There was only one purpose of all sorts of defensive measures, and that was to remove the curse that had been formed after thousands of years of minority rule in the Central Plains, the spell that had been assimilated.

Although some people did not say anything, it did not mean that the two sides were unaware of it. The Manchu wanted to rule the Han people over the Central Plains as an inexhaustible gold mine, but the Chinese elites were looking on coldly, watching as history walked in that direction. They were waiting for the Manchu to offer over the border with both hands, and the land would eventually become part of China.

One wanted to be a slave forever, while the other wanted to end up with all the benefits. This kind of confrontation was extremely covert, but it was everywhere. Only a few true scholars in this world could clearly see this kind of conflict.

This group of Manchu s would definitely not let the Han people grow up. At the most critical moment, they were destined to fall into the arms of the foreign nationals, which also meant that there was a 90% chance that Russian would agree to Russian's request.

However, he could not tell this to Fu Qing, since Qing San Ye was still a member of that group. He could only give a small reminder to stop at nothing, and it was not in hopes that Fu Qing would make any changes.

Fu Qing wanted to continue with the topic, but he suddenly realised that the Great Marshal had stopped talking, so he could not continue asking, and after drinking three cups of wine, Fu Qing took out the last question.

"Marshal, in this war between my brother and the Russian, who do you think will win? "In the whole of Asia, you are the only one who can come up with such a conclusion. Marshal, please enlighten me …"

Ceng Guofan did not answer directly but asked back, "What do you think? Or who do you want to win? "

"Of course I hope that Xiao Letian will win. After all, he's my brother, my relative …"

"Hahaha …" Not necessarily! If Xiao Letian wins, it might be beneficial to you, but what about to the imperial government? Is there any benefit to it? "

Fu Qing's face froze and he opened his mouth, but he did not say a single word, so he could not really answer. That's right! Was Xiao Letian's victory good or bad? The more powerful the Chinese, the greater the threat they would pose to the imperial government. However, if the Russian wins, who would be willing to accept it?

Ceng Guofan sighed in his heart, even you, Fu Qing, are hesitating, in my view, this empire is hopeless! How could two hundred years of inertia stop the car so easily?
