C1708 Marshal of Two Provinces (2/2)
The way the people saw Xiao Letian and the Ryukyu was completely different. From being completely unfamiliar with them, to deliberately discrediting them, to the growing desire in their hearts, the hearts of hundreds of millions of Great Qing citizens were extremely complicated.
However, among the officials of the Great Qing, especially the high officials, their views of the Ryukyu and Xiao Letian were surprisingly unanimous. They were cursing the outside and envious of the inside.
Of course, they were trying everything they could to discredit the Chinese because the Great Qing was relying on the stupid people to win the hearts of the Chinese people. However, the high-ranking officials all knew very well what the Chinese people were like.
Ryukyu had become the richest, most civilized city in Asia. Here, the Chinese New Army was protecting the citizens, there were officials who knew the rules to manage the civil affairs, there were engineers who were inventing and creating overseas, and there were wealthy merchants who were creating wealth …
The thing that people yearned for the most was that this was a place with rules and regulations. Under the strong suppression of Xiao Letian, no officials dared to be corrupt, nor did they wait for their own deaths.
It was really strange, someone like T?pchin, was originally a corrupt and incurable person, but they could not help but admire the purity of the Chinese people, and even fantasized about where their children could live, this was truly a kind of ridicule.
Actually, this logic was quite simple. The officials were afraid that their children would be punished in the same way because they knew how they stole the money.
In order to avoid retribution on their children, they naturally hoped that their children would have a clean heaven. Previously, they didn't have any other options, but now, the choice had already appeared.
When T?pchin heard that his child had the chance to emigrate to Ryukyu, to go to that fair, just, prosperous and polite place of happiness, he suddenly felt that losing his life was worth it.
The two wine bowls collided and the transaction officially began!
Afterwards, the large group of people started to accelerate towards the south, following the relay road and headed straight to Qiqihar City. When they saw the densely populated countryside outside of the city, the entire Qiqihar was immediately stirred up.
Countless commoners rushed up from both sides of the road, each and every one of them staring at the mighty Hun Chun's army, especially in some of the bazaars, the crowd was so packed that they couldn't move.
The closer they got to the Qiqihar City, the more people there were. In the end, the guards led by the Vice General Lin also came up, they had to maintain order, otherwise the Cavalry would not be able to move forward.
The six hundred Russian prisoners were like a group of wild beasts. The citizens were stunned, and when these angry prisoners bared their teeth at them, the crowd became so restless that the sky was filled with flying trash, causing them to scream out loud.
”Crush these Russian to death! ”Beat them to death …”
The furious crowd wanted to rush up, but the soldiers that were maintaining order pushed them with all their might, causing a great chaos. Until the flag of the Hun Chun appeared, the atmosphere immediately became tense.
At this moment, the Hun Chun was already a legend of the people. In the eyes of these ordinary citizens, whoever brought the weak soldiers of the Great Qing Province to win a foreign battle, as long as he could win against the foreigners, he would be the god of war in the hearts of the people.
”We kowtowed to the marshal!” Welcome back to the city! Kneel... ”He knelt down and kowtowed …”
There was a loud bang on both sides of the road as thousands of people fell on their knees, not daring to move recklessly.
