C2419 Xiang Ying surrendered himself

"What did you say?" You did it? You f * cking have the guts to say it again! " In the Eastern Palace's study, Xiao Letian sat on a chair and looked at the disciple in front of him with astonishment.

Xiang Ying took off his military hat, held it horizontally in front of his chest, and spoke with a deathly pale face: "I did it, the entire assassination was organized by me, it was I who wanted Tongzhi's life!"

"Have you gone crazy?" Xiao Letian roared and rushed over, and grabbed Xiang Ying's collar while glaring at him.

"Are you kidding? Bastard, you want to test me out for what I did to you, right? Your lousy Rangers can do such a thing? Are you kidding me? "

Hearing the words Rangers popped out from his master's mouth, Xiang Ying knew that it was true that he was the leader of the group. He thought that he could hide everything from them, and thought that the existence of the Rangers was a top secret.

"Master, you already know about the existence of the Rangers, then what is there to question? Of course you know what our Rangers wants to do!"

"You don't need to look at me like that. What I did was done by me. I don't want to hide it from you!" With that, Xiang Ying closed his eyes, he saw that Xiao Letian had clenched his fists tightly, it seemed that this fight was inevitable.

However, the punch he had anticipated did not fall, but Xiang Ying, who had his eyes closed, felt that the hand on his collar was gradually loosening. When he opened his eyes, he could not forget that expression of Xiao Letian's for the rest of his life.

Xiao Letian pushed two of them away and looked at him quietly, as if it was his first time meeting this disciple.

There was disappointment, shock, sadness, loneliness … There was even a feeling of distance between them.

Xiao Letian slowly retreated back, Xiang Ying suddenly felt that his master was abandoning him, the originally close master and disciple were parting ways now.

This was something that Xiang Ying could not tolerate. He could accept his master's curses and beatings, but he could not accept the feeling of them becoming more and more distant. They were obviously in the same house, but Xiang Ying could feel that Xiao Letian was abandoning him mentally.

"Master …" Xiang Ying subconsciously moved forward, but the leader's cold expression nailed him to the ground.

Xiao Letian lit up a cigarette for himself, took a deep breath and walked around the desk before returning to his seat. He looked up at Xiang Ying for a long time before he opened his mouth, "Tell me everything! I need to hear everything... "

"Yes sir!" Xiang Ying immediately stood at attention and saluted, starting from the beginning of the matter in a trembling voice.

The Rangers did not exist in the first place. In fact, it was a study hall set up by a group of outstanding students in Prussia. These elites with knowledge from the East spent the fastest time to learn languages and Western languages.

From the era of ancient Greece to the Middle Ages, and from the Middle Ages to the Renaissance, followed by The Age of Great Navigation and Industrial Revolution …

Xiang Ying and the others were gradually coming to realize the huge difference in the Eastern Western Civilization through their unremitting studies. They were all soldiers who valued force and power, and very quickly, they were attracted by the European civilization's aggressive culture.

The strength of Europe had a lot to do with the culture they advocated. Since the time of the ancient Greece, war and expansion had permeated through the entire civilization.

When the barbarians of the north flourished, the Germans gained the support of the divine right and began to rule the continental Europe. These people were more barbaric than the Romans, and were fanatical believers of colonialism.

Of course, there was also the influence of religion. The monotheism unified the European faith, and coincidentally, their neighbors also had a monotheistic Middle East.

The religious wars fought for hundreds of years, throughout the Middle Ages!

Following that was the rise of the Renaissance and the Age of Reason. During this period of time, the Europeans had focused their attention on the sea, killing from the North America to the South America, and killing from Africa to Asia.

The entire history of the Western Civilization was a history of war and aggression, while war was in fact the most realistic manifestation of progress in culture. These elite Chinese, who had studied abroad in Europe, were gradually becoming addicted to it.

This was actually a kind of emotional reaction, because they had all seen the pain of the Qing Dynasty being brutally abused by Europe. They knew that kind of unforgettable hatred was burned to the ground by this strong emotion.

With the war ending as the creed of Xiang Ying and the others, these foreign students who had accepted the militaristic ideology gradually walked together and formed the skeleton of the entire Chinese Navy, which was the middle and upper ranking leader officer.

The thought of militarism was actually quite common in history. Of course, there were different ways of calling it that. As long as the military was the first system to govern the country, it could be called militarism.

For example, after the Martingale Transformation, the Qin Nation was a typical militarist country. There were also many countries in the later generations of the imperial army and politics. Everything else was military, which was also a representation of militarism.

There is no mystery to militarism, but it is a thought, a thought accustomed to settling disputes by force and force.

The neighboring countries were not convinced? Don't worry, just submit to him!

Another commercial conflict? It didn't matter, just beat him until he lowered his head!

Did their people lack some kind of strategic resource? It was just a small matter, the entire nation could go to war to snatch it!

This kind of thought is actually ubiquitous in human society, but the thought ascends into a concrete organization, there are many ways in it.

If Xiang Ying and the others were just a group of scholars who agreed with militarism that gathered together to discuss about military matters, going to the Reading Salon or something like that, these kinds of thoughts would not cause much harm.

But when the Rangers appeared, everything changed. Organization and thought were two completely different things, organization needed thought to arm the brain, but thought also needed organization to arm.

There is money, there are people, there is an organizational structure, there is an internal reward and punishment system... A group of people converged on everything because of their shared ideals, and gradually began to possess some means of violence and strength. This was the materialization of ideas.

Once his thoughts possessed a physical body, he would definitely take action. Militarism was his thoughts, while the Rangers was his body. And this assassination was his actions!

"Master, did you know?" Rangers was not made by me, you forced it out! It originated from the moment you brought Emperor Tongzhi out of the Forbidden City. From that day onwards, the Rangers was established! "
