C1731 Threats by the Hun Chun (2/2)
”Whether or not this land will still be under your control depends on how you all do it, not how I do it …”
Hun Chun could lower her eyebrows and look at Zai Chun, but she was not that respectful towards Xiao Letian. What did a momentary dominance count for? In my two hundred years of rule in the Great Qing, what have I not seen before? ”
”These years, we have indeed taken the wrong path! However, with the presence of the Holy Lord, as long as we are able to pull ourselves together, there will be no obstacles that we cannot overcome! This land was ours and the future is ours! ”
”People's hearts? Hehe … What is a people's heart? In the past, who would dare to say a word of disapproval to a soldier? With the steel blade placed on top of his neck, and with a bit more good governance from the civil side, I don't believe that they will be able to rebel. ”
”Xiao Letian, let me tell you … This Great Qing is the emperor's, this world cannot do without the emperor! Don't you instill in me the thoughts of a foreign devil who has no father! In this world, it's impossible if there's no Emperor! ”
Xiao Letian was really defeated by this kind of self-centered person, but you still couldn't argue with them, because that was the kind of education they had since they were young.
”What a speechless era …” Xiao Letian laughed coldly, ”Since you think that your old experiences can still rule over this land, then let's continue! But I have to remind you to protect Zai Chun's personal affairs, and not to get a puppet emperor without actual authority at the end! ”
”How dare you!” Hun Chun shouted loudly, ”Do you dare to directly call His Majesty by your name?”
”F * ck …” I've been shouting for years! Zai Chun didn't even dare to fart, who the hell were you? ”Damn it, a head of sorghum seeds …” They really couldn't communicate with this kind of brainless guy, and in the end, they forced Xiao Letian to swear.
Since the conversation was not good, then there was no point in talking anymore. Whipping his whip, Xiao Letian spurred his horse to bring the guards to the east.
Zai Chun did not hear the conflict between the two, but Xiao Letian's gloomy face made him nervous. He carefully asked a few questions, but did not manage to ask anything.
Hun Chun stood on the road and watched as the caravan disappeared from his sight. He clenched her fists until her nails dug into the flesh of her palms. ”You have to endure, endure for another three years, in the future we won't be bullied anymore!”
Zai Chun and his party rode straight for the Haishenwai without a word. They had to go to Europe by July of this year and the war between France and China had already reached the peak. Bismark and Napoleon III were currently engaged in an intense diplomatic and public war.
Everyone was trying to get more allies and more sympathy from the masses. This was the most important war that had changed the world before the First World War. If they missed it, they would have to wait for decades for the fruits of the war.
China did not have much time left, let alone several decades, it could not afford to waste even ten years.
When Xiao Letian rushed to the Haishenwai, the Zhiyuan Warship had already disappeared. This was also Xiao Letian's order, the Zhiyuan Warship travelled across two oceans from Europe, and after going through several wars, it had already reached the stage where it needed to be preserved.
The paint had to be freshly painted, the bottom scraped, the boiler turned off and cleaned, and even the rivets had to be checked one by one to see if they were loose. Right now, the Zhiyuan Warship should have already arrived at the dry dock on the east side of Bulbus Glazed Island. Before going to Europe, the Zhiyuan Warship must undergo a major maintenance.
