C1346 Can peoples hearts be used? (1/2)
Xiang Ying's eyes immediately lit up. Just at this time, the door to the conference room not far away was pushed open, and Cai Bixia stuck her head out and shouted, ”The kitchen has prepared dinner, eat your meal now!”
”Don't worry about us, we won't eat anymore!” The master and disciple both shouted at the same time, but immediately after, they both froze and then started to laugh slyly.
Cai Bixia was startled and asked, ”Are you sick?” She slammed the hatch shut and ignored them.
At this time, the sky had already turned completely dark. Every corner of Zhiyuan Warship's cabin, as well as between the stairs and stairs, were hung with windproof kerosene lamps. From afar, hundreds of kerosene lamps shone down, outlining the graceful curves of the entire battleship.
Under the dim light, the two of them lit up a cigarette and continued their conversation.
”Xiang Ying! Although I, Xiao Letian have prestige in the Chinese Clan, do you think I have prestige in the Great Qing? If I were to lead my troops to kill my way back to the Great Qing and raise a flag against my enemies, how many citizens would you say would support me? ”
Xiang Ying thought about it carefully and then shook his head with furrowed brows, ”Forgive me for being blunt, but one in ten …”
”Haha, you're flattering me!” How is that one in ten, or one in a hundred! ” Xiao Letian shook his head and sighed, ”In this world, the most stubborn person is the human heart, and the most fickle person is also the human heart. Since ancient times, rebellion is just a work of art, not even considering the changes in dynasties that come from the bloody battles of the Golden Spear Iron Horse, I am more willing to believe that the mechanisms and schemes will go along with the plans of the people to carry out a revolution!”
”The Chinese people see me as their savior because they have already accepted my latest nationalistic ideas. The obligatory student groups on the streets of Ryukyu are the result of these ideas and no one is forcing them …”
”The Chinese who are overseas are a group of people who have their eyes opened to the world. They know how powerful the Western Powers is, they know how weak the Great Qing is, and they have also tasted the feeling of being bullied by the foreign people. Now, they have met someone who can give them hope … ”That will be me. Naturally, I will resolutely rely on him …”
”But the Great Qing is different. That country is sealed, and the citizens can't move from their hometowns. If you do not have any achievements, then even if you leave your hometown for a hundred miles, your relatives will have to open up a path for you!”
”In addition to the extreme secrecy of the news, even the citizens of the county do not know what is happening in this world! The CIA had once secretly investigated. Only 50% of the citizens in the province knew about the war that happened when the British and French combined forces attacked the Beijing.
”You don't have to be surprised, only half of us know. In the villages in the south, many commoners have never heard of British and French combined forces, and don't even know what it is …”
”In Shanxi, the proportion of people who knew about the war dropped directly to 25%, in Henan to 23% and in Shandong to 21% …”
”This is the Central Plains, a large coastal province. As for the other inland provinces, such as Shaanxi, Gansu, Sichuan, Guizhou and so on …” No more than 3% of the people know about the war. Think about it, in this extremely closed and ignorant environment, who do you think will follow? ”
Xiang Ying was startled and mumbled, ”Yes! They did not know what the world is like, and they did not even know that Xiao Letian exists. They did not even know that the Prime Minister exists in this world, so how could the human heart be useful to you? ”
