C1608 Rule of law in the Qing Dynasty

Sakamoto Ryoma was indeed worthy of being the first person in Japan to have a good look at the world. They were open-minded, had profound eyes, and were good at absorbing new knowledge.

To the Qing Dynasty, to the west, to the Central Plains culture, and even to Xiao Letian's traitorous thoughts, Sakamoto Ryoma would never take the prejudice and selectively study them. He would only accept and accept these thoughts with the spirit of Hai Na Bai Chuan.

His personality was extremely similar to Xiao Letian's, so they could chat at the same time. Sakamoto Ryoma's personality was naturally born, and Xiao Letian's personality was influenced by the network environment in his previous life.

People who had experienced the explosion of the internet knowledge had a much wider horizon than the ancient people. The knowledge was complex, but they were not adept at it. The elites of the ancient times were all specialized talents.

For Xiao Letian to meet an ancient person like the Mr. Ryoma, who was not picky with food, and was willing to accept all kinds of ideas, it was really not easy.

Using a third party's perspective to explain the story of the Central Plains to Zai Chun, Zai Chun felt that it was very suitable, no matter what it was.

If Wang Huaiyuan, Xiang Ying and the others were to come over and say the same thing, the little emperor would only think that he was here to provoke them.

"Undeniably, the fighting spirit of the Central Plains civilization has been declining gradually since the time of the Tang Dynasty. Needless to say, the Song Dynasty belonged to the power of the Mongolian and there was a small explosion during the first year of the Ming Dynasty. However, it gradually declined and was eventually defeated by the Qing Empire …"

"There are many reasons for the gradual disappearance of the martial spirit. The Prime Minister did not explain in detail to His Majesty, but the Prime Minister also said that the weakening of the martial spirit does not mean that the Chinese do not wish for victory!"

"In contrast, the unity of the Chinese is deeply rooted, and the expansion of the territory is an important criterion to judge whether an emperor is holy or not!"

"Especially in the Western Regions! This land bears countless dreams of the Han people, because the two top-notch Central Plains empires, the Han Dynasty and the Tang Dynasty, have once operated this land. In the minds of scholars, whether or not it could be inherited from the Western Regions is already the most important benchmark for whether or not a dynasty is top-notch! "

"And all of this, was never expected to be realized in the hands of your Manchu! Western Regions, Outer Pass, Mongolia, Tibet … This series of lands that the Chinese never thought of actually appeared in the same map. The Great Clear Universe Map could really be said to be the peak of Manchu's martial power! "

"The dreams of the Chinese for the past thousand years have been perfected by your Manchu. How can the Confucian Scholar Group not flatter them? In addition to the Qing dynasty's praise for the Three Priests of the Confucian Daoists, your rule has increased by a lot. This is actually a very important reason why the Qing Dynasty can rule the Central Plains as an alien for so long! "

The little emperor was dumbfounded. He listened to every word with hunger and thirst. This was a truth that no Confucian teacher would teach him. This was what he meant by "dry goods".

"In other words, when the Manchu ruled over the Central Plains, where would the legal principles of the Great Qing Dynasty lie? The other is a respected scholar who can rule the world with the scholars. This way, the scholars who can control public opinion will naturally praise the orthodoxy of Manchu! "

"And the second thing is that if you want people to flatter you, then you have to flatter me! "And to expand the territory and satisfy the unreal desires of the Han Chinese for thousands of years is to flatter and flatter them!"

"Well, now you see? The reason for the Great Qing's rule is because of your own martial arts. As for the matter of governance, it is innately Chinese, so even if you can't learn it, you will still lack some spirit! "

"Do you understand now? To the Great Qing, martial arts are the basis for your safety. When you lose this natural attribute, what is left of your foundation for governance? "You want to fight with the Chinese for the art of art?"

"Da Qing lost to the Europeans several times. It has always been a small-scale conflict. Furthermore, the people of the Central Plains have no information about it … Even now, there were still many places that did not know that the Imperial Court had fought with the foreigners! Therefore, the imperial government can continue to keep it a secret and maintain the prestige of the Empire! "

"And what is this awe-inspiring presence afraid of the most? It was just a continuous war, especially outside battles! Once you lose, everyone will know that you will be completely destroyed! How will you rule the Chinese then? "

"So, Your Majesty, your Mother's royal uncle, would rather admit defeat, and choose to back off at the negotiating table instead of starting a protracted war. Because once the war grew, he would not be able to seal off the news! If the old farmers in the fields knew that the Great Qing lost and could not beat the foreigners, would they still need to ask about your foundation for governance? "

Zai Chun was dumbstruck, he did not think that an intelligence report would bring up such a big topic. This was an unfamiliar domain that he had never thought of, one that no one would teach him.

"Haha …" Sakamoto Ryoma sneered, "If the imperial government had not bowed its head back then, what would have been the result? "The news of smuggling outside the city and the corruption of the imperial government will spread like wildfire. The world will know everything from east to west of the great river and the north …"

"The Russian Federation will constantly invade the borders and let the citizens of the Great Qing Province know that the Qing Dynasty is no longer safe. Furthermore, they will also publicize the agreements between the First Opium War and the powerless nations!"

"Don't forget, my lord! Ceng Guofan was powerful already at that time! He has attracted the attention of countless Chinese as well as the desire to approve his yellow robe! "

"If the Manchu were to blow up at that time, where would the hearts of the people of His Majesty go? Isn't it still the Chinese people! "With such a comparison, if the hidden danger of millions of square kilometers of land for a Chinese is eliminated, it would be in the process of being wiped out!"

"Hiss …" Zai Chun sat down on the bed. He was stunned, the real political situation was actually this harsh? Everyone's calculations were so deep, yet their considerations were so broad!

Even to the lofty names of Heaven's Mandate and Rules of Law, Master was actually able to extort them in such a straightforward manner. This was purely crushing all the mystical halos and then placing that ugly core in front of you.

At that moment, Zai Chun even saw Xiao Letian's evil smile, as though he was mocking him and saying, "The answer you want is right here. After taking away the glory of being a fool, what do you have left? "

"This... Master told you to tell me this? " Zai Chun asked.

"NO!" This is what I wanted to tell Your Majesty myself... Contrary to what you might have guessed, the Prime Minister doesn't want you to know! Because you're not old enough, it's not good to have come into contact with these things too early! "

"If it wasn't for this sudden intelligence report, I'm afraid I wouldn't have told you about this!"
