After returning to the capital, this was the first time Zai Cheng revealed his thoughts, not to his blood relative Mother, but Empress Dowager of the East Ci An!

"Your son is truly afraid. Extremely afraid. Your son is not worried about who will usurp the power of his throne. Honestly speaking, I'm not worried about this …"

"The enemies in this son's heart are not Prince Kung, nor are they Prince of Alcohol, nor are they those Chinese Officer with increasing powers …"

"Even foreign subjects do not think that it is a big threat …"

"Oh? No one in this world is a threat anymore, so what are you afraid of? " Ci An was interested.

"In my heart, I only have one enemy … This was the era! "Muhou is this era …"

Not many people present understood his words. All of the eunuchs and palace maids had stunned expressions. Hairy # 2 sighed and turned around to leave, calling the eunuchs and palace maids to leave while he was at it.

There were no longer any eavesdroppers around Ci An, so Zai Chun's words were becoming more and more sensational!

"Imperial Mother, how long do you think this Great Qing will last? Do you still have fifty years? "

Ci An's face changed, "Who told you this? Xiao Letian? "

"No, no, no …" Mother, don't be so anxious. Actually, these topics are taboo to us Great Qing. However, overseas, this is just a science that a group of scholars are currently researching! "

"I only truly realized what the era was when I arrived in Europe. That feeling of great disparity caused me to be completely unable to find the north!"

"I'm afraid …" "I am truly afraid. I realized that the things that we have learnt are no longer able to explain this world. This is what I am most afraid of!"

"Invincible? The order of the father and son? Can morality overcome everything? Will the imperial court be able to win against the enemy just by playing with their balance? "

"There is no such era. Everything in our hands is out of date. This is the most terrifying thing!"

"Right now, the citizens of Great Qing are still looking at the Gun with fear on their faces. However, the diameter of the Europe's main battle cannons has already exceeded 200.

"People who practice martial arts all know one thing. It is this power that Europeans hold, and it belongs to this age! "

"This era is about to leave us in the clear. Imperial Mother, how many more years do you think we will be able to endure?"

Ci An's face turned pale white, "This … What nonsense was this! That foreign devil is indeed powerful, but no matter how powerful a warship is, can it still make it to the mainland? "

"Their Gun cannon is powerful, but it is also heavily reliant on logistics. Would they even be able to reach the Chengde after occupying it?"

"If it doesn't work out, we can move our capital to Xi'an. It's a long way. How much ammunition do we need for the foreign citizens?"

"If you can't walk halfway, you'll run out of energy!"

Zai Chun shook his head with all his might: "No, your mother really isn't … Master Weng has already told me all this, and even the Head of State has told me about it! "

"The Chinese call this theory 'Strategic Insight'. This is indeed a huge advantage for China. It's very difficult to find an enemy that can completely penetrate China …"

"The Führer said that one day, the enemy will pass through China from the north to the south. But no matter what, they cannot break through. This is the advantage of geography!"

"But Imperial Mother doesn't know that the development of technology has reached an unimaginable stage … The future is a dreamy world, where people can fly in the sky and swim in the sea... There will even be miracles that will travel several hundred miles in a single shot! "

"Nonsense!" Ci An's expression changed greatly. "Child, you must have been brainwashed by Xiao Letian! What flying in the sky and swimming in the water, how could he invite a deity out? "

"Aiya, mother, have you forgotten about the hot air balloon flying in the sky of the capital five years ago? I have really gone to heaven myself! "

"Stop bullshitting, I has seen that hot air balloon before. It's only three or four people and they can't even move when there's heavy rain and wind …" There's no way to fight, that's just a big toy for foreign devils! "

Zai Chun shook his head, "Wrong, mother is wrong …. "Actually, in this Franco-Prussian War, the Chinese had already made an attempt to fight in open space. The Führer has already formed an Air Force, it's really an Air Force flying in the sky!"

Ci An was so shocked that he couldn't even speak. He talked bit by bit about the 'era's power' that he saw in Europe — the reddened steel water flowing like a river.

Tens of thousands of tons of water forging machines knead steel like dough!

Millions of people were killed together, and the cannonballs rained down like hail. After a round of barrage, tens of thousands of lives were lost in the mud!

Countries are desperately researching Steel battleship, the Navy's allocation is at the million level, in that kind of place money is no longer money, it's consumption like running water!

All countries were whipped in the back by the times, if you did not improve then you would be beaten, and if you were one step behind, you would be left behind!

Ci An had never seen such an era of great change, nor had anyone from the Manchu dynasty Hall. They did not even have this kind of awareness!

Zai Chun sighed and said, "There will be a day when the things we rely on no longer protect us … What should he do? Could it be that the Great Qing will not be able to escape its fate of destruction? "

"Ah, Imperial Mother! This son personally witnessed the fall of the France's second empire! The Emperor was forced into exile, and his whole family fled to England to seek refuge! "

"That Emperor of the France has even broken into the capital city. Such a powerful empire, even if it dies, it will perish!"

"On what basis can we, the Great Qing, be an exception?"

Ci An was dizzy from listening to her, "Stop talking..." Don't say anymore … Is that why you want to have a falling out with your Sixth Uncle? If you defeat your Sixth Uncle, will they be able to change all of this? "

"No …" "Mother, you are blaming your son for this. Your son does not want to fight anyone to the death. Your son only hopes that there will be no resistance to the reforms after the personal administration!"

"You always talk about reform. How are you going to change it? You didn't even change your country name, did you? "

Zai Chun shook his head and said, "This son will not change his false name. This son will start an industry, develop technology, build a university … I want to bring along the power of industrialization! "

"No matter how much resistance there is, I will never waver in my determination. Never!"

Ci An's face paled, "My son! If you do this, you'll feel uneasy! You have overthrown all of the ancestral systems! "

"You can't be impatient. Let your mother think carefully and scheme properly for you …" This is too big, it's not something that can be done in a year or two, so you have to get married first! "

"My Queen Mother! Time waits for no one. The changes outside are as fast as a day, so we have to make full use of every minute and every second to catch up to the time! "

"It's already too late. If I don't make a decision now, I won't be able to catch up!"
