C1119 Relieved (1/2)
Weng Tonghe's words had awoken the spirits of everyone in East Warm Pavilion. When they realized that the sharp sword above their heads wasn't aimed at them, all their previous fear and anxiety immediately disappeared.
Weng Tonghe's analysis was still reasonable, everyone present were all experienced political experts, if they were to switch places and think from Xiao Letian's perspective, they would know that the timing of the release of the Hua Clan Order was not that good.
The urgency was too great. It appeared to be flourishing, but there were many links between them that were not very well-balanced. Coupled with the military conflict with Russia, this was not the best time to seek political change.
In history, when such a revolution was carried out in terms of government, people's hearts, and culture, there were usually only two situations that could occur.
Either they could not live past the point of life or death, or all the opposing powers had been suppressed, and the prestige of the Leader was so high that no one could challenge them. There was no third such thing as a revolution of this magnitude in either case.
It was clear that Xiao Letian's Ryukyu was not between the two of them.'s forces had only been established for more than four years, even though he had relied on his strong charisma to gather countless people, the larger the chariot, the more time he needed to get used to it.
And now that the older followers had been well-matched, the new followers still had to start from the beginning. In four years, they could achieve complete mastery of the inner circle? That was impossible.

The conversation within the East Warm Pavilion became more and more intense. Honestly speaking, the high ranking members of the imperial court were not stupid, these highly educated politicians still had a lot of ink in their stomachs.
However, the reason why these elite politicians left such a foolish impression on history back in the late Qing was because of the asymmetry of the information.
It was a major change that hadn't been seen in three thousand years. Its social development was so fast that even Europeans would be confused by it, let alone a semi-closed Qing Dynasty.
Europeans are not supermen who can foresee the future, and they do a lot of stupid things in the face of a misty future.
For example, in the era when the breech-loading gun replaced the front-loading gun, Prussian generals had expressed unusual opposition. ”People eat with their mouths, how can they eat with their butts?” Look, sometimes ignorance is not the preserve of the Asian, and Europeans are not foolish as well.
1839 Austria Engineer Yue Sefu. While Liesel was promoting his propeller technology, officials from countless countries mocked him collectively, ”Can such small pieces of broken metal propel the steamboat forward? Only Ming Lun, only Ming Lun was the way of the king! The rest are all cult … ”
Even the design of the naval ship that the British were most proud of was a long detour. In the previous era of the Fearless Ship, the layout of the main turret alone had been in dispute for decades.
The deep impression the Chinese had of the Dingyuan and Zhenyuan Iron-armored battleship used was actually the design idea of being eliminated during the Dreadnought era. The main cannons were lined up left and right instead of the central axis.
