C739 Meditation (1/2)

Zai Chun suddenly realized that his master had gone silent, holding onto the wine cup in his hand, he stared blankly at the dark blue Osaka's Bay, the sunlight, the jade wave, the sailboat … The beautiful scenery that was reflected in Xiao Letian's eyes was flickering with a perplexed expression.

He knew that his master was thinking. He must be thinking about something very important. Perhaps he was thinking about the problem that the Ministry of Revenue had given him. Master has already promised to accept the debt of 4 million silver taels in my name, but this is far from enough. If the Imperial Court wants to return to normal, it will need at least 10 million silver taels.

Zai Chun waved for the maid and the guards to withdraw. He sat behind Xiao Letian alone and gently fanned himself as he looked at his master's back.

This is a man like Mt. Tai, if he was not the Prime Minister of Ryukyu, but my Great Qing's Prime Minister, how great that would be! Yes, I have decided that after my personal government, I will restore the Prime Minister system of the Han and Tang Dynasties. My master is the first real Prime Minister of Qing Dynasty.

Xiao Letian didn't know what Zai Chun was thinking, he was trying to weigh the pros and cons. According to the emotions of the future generations, the death of the last feudal dynasty was certain. In the history of mankind, there were very few empires that could rule for more than three hundred years.

Everything was divided into four stages: life and death, including a power. Therefore, Xiao Letian would never sincerely extend Manchu dynasty's life, he did not even have that piece of hair on the back of his head.

But Xiao Letian had also thought about it, although the Qing Dynasty was doomed to die, this was an irreversible rule in history, but the method to die could be chosen.

The idea of forming an army to arm the Han people and then overthrow the Qing Dynasty to fight in the black water of White Mountain City to build a great empire belonged to the Chinese people was very rich but too realistic.

If Xiao Letian did this, the majority of the Han people would support him. As long as he had enough money, he could drive the Manchu out of seclusion in three or four years.

But then what? The Manchu and the Han Chinese became foreign countries and foreign races. The Mongolian and Han Chinese became foreign countries and foreign races. The Tibetan people, Uighur people and the pars dorsalis would also declare independence. They would not listen to the Chinese's orders.

Never forget, Mongolia, Uighur, Tibetan, pars dorsalis … At this point in time, these border races, who have been plaguing China for thousands of years, are giving allegiance to the Manchu, not to the Han Chinese.

Once the great battle began, it might even last for a hundred years! The fruits of two hundred years of national integration would then be swept away.

The idea of overthrowing the military had long been rejected. What about the second option? Learn from Yuan Shikai, use a scheme to take advantage of the situation and force the Qing Dynasty to go down?

Through all kinds of hard work, it caused the governing foundation of the Qing Dynasty to become more and more loose. In the end, it gave the Manchu royal family a preferential treatment policy, allowing them to voluntarily declare their abdication. This was also one way.

A proclamation of abdication not only made possible the peaceful transfer of power in the history of China, but also made possible the Five Clans.
