Chapter 49

A few days later, Tan Sitong and others were escorted to Tianjin Wharf, and Zhou Ding received the order from Empress Dowager Cixi.

The general idea of ​​Yizhi is: Tan Sitong and others are bold, deceive the sage, fool the people, think that God has the virtue of good life, the death penalty can be avoided, and the living crime cannot be escaped. The six people were sent to Qiongzhou, and Zhou Ding, the prefect of Qiongzhou, was ordered to keep them under strict supervision. Don't let him go out of Qiongzhou.

Zhou Ding led the order to thank En, took six people on board, and returned to Qiongzhou.

Although these six people are somewhat inferior, they are all very idealistic, ambitious, and capable talents. If they can earn enough money, they will definitely become his helpers.

The fleet immediately set off from Tianjin. Seeing that the prestige of the six people had reached friendship, Zhou Ding was very happy and hosted a banquet for the six of them!
Soon, Zhou Ding began to regret: Regret for being too kind to these six people!
Good guy, since the six people sat down, more than half an hour has passed, and the food and drinks during the banquet have basically remained unchanged.

A few people are like ducks, quacking, quacking, talking non-stop, first talking about the successful fall of the RB Emperor, the rapid development history of RB, and then describing the various bright prospects after the successful reform in China.

The main idea is: Ask Zhou Ding to rescue Emperor Guangxu!
Zhou Ding didn't talk to him all the time, everyone was a little dissatisfied, and his words were a lot more unpleasant. The implication was: if Zhou Ding didn't save the emperor, he would be ungrateful and ungrateful, and he would be in vain of the king's kindness.

Not only that, Zhou Ding also found out: Except for Tan Sitong, the prestige of the other five people has become neutral again! !

Zhou Ding regretted: If I had known this, I should have let them live as prisoners first.

After everyone talked for so long, Zhou Ding already knew in his heart: If he wants to subdue these people for his own use, he must persuade them to give up their unrealistic ideas, otherwise, they will only add to their own troubles, it is better to have nothing!

At this time, Tan Sitong stopped the crowd and said, "Everyone be quiet, and listen to what Mr. Zhou has to say!"

After the ears quieted down, Zhou Ding said in his heart: In this case, I will try to convince them. With historical foresight and insight beyond their 100 years, I will not convince these guys.

After taking a long breath, Zhou Ding stood up and said, "I heard what everyone said just now. What you said just now is more or less reasonable, but it is out of date!"

The crowd argued again, Tan Sitong waved his hand to stop the crowd, and asked, "Mr. Zhou, please speak clearly!"

Zhou Ding said indifferently: "RB was successfully overthrown and the emperor came to power. RB has indeed entered a period of rapid development. In just 30 years, RB has transformed from a poor and desolate island country into a powerful country that overwhelms the Qing Dynasty. It is all thanks to this achievement! "

Seeing that Zhou Ding agreed with their ideas, everyone was very happy and signaled Zhou Ding to continue.

"However!" Zhou Ding changed his voice: "The current situation of the Qing Dynasty looks very similar to that of RB 30 years ago, but in fact, it is very different!"

Kang Guangren asked: "What's the difference? The reason why RB's reform was successful is because there is an emperor who works hard to rule. Now, Emperor Guangxu of the Qing Dynasty is even worse than the RB emperor!"

Zhou Ding smiled lightly, and stretched out three fingers: "The right time, the right place, and the harmony of people, don't occupy any of them!"

Several people asked back one after another: "What is the right time, location, and harmony of people?"

Zhou Ding was still personable, and said in an orderly manner: "Let's talk about Renhe first!

Back then, the ruler of RB was the shogunate. As long as it was pushed to the shogunate, the emperor would be able to take power.

But what about Qing Dynasty?The Empress Dowager Cixi was in power in the Qing Dynasty!

In fact, you were wrong from the very beginning, you chose the wrong enemy!
Ask yourself: Do you plan to let Empress Dowager Cixi stay in the harem for the elderly after the reform is successful?
The current emperor is the empress dowager's nephew, if the empress dowager doesn't like him, how can he let him be the emperor?
Your opponent is not the Empress Dowager Cixi, but the stubborn feudal forces. "

"Why, does Mr. Zhou think that the queen mother should not return the imperial power to the emperor?" Lin Xu was the one who asked the question.

Zhou Ding shook his head and said: "It is important to prioritize, the stubborn conservative forces in the Qing Dynasty are too large, if you want to succeed in the reform, you must win over and divide the stubborn forces.

But you are seizing power at this time. In this way, the queen mother can only stand with the feudal forces.

The Queen Mother waved lightly, and Yuan Shikai, whom you have worked so hard to cultivate, immediately joined the Queen Mother!Without military power, how can you be undefeated?

Think about it carefully, everyone: If the Empress Dowager did not intend to condone you to try the reform, do you think: Do you have a chance to start? "

Although everyone disagreed with Zhou Ding's statement of "wooing the Queen Mother", it is undeniable that it was the Queen Mother who made Yuan Shikai's rebellion, and Yuan Shikai's rebellion was the main reason for the failure of the reform.

Yang Shenxiu stood up and said, "What Mr. Zhou said just now is just 'in hindsight', but I still want to hear about your geography and timing!"

Zhou Ding picked up the wine glass, drank a cup, and continued: "RB's territory is so big, barely equal to our province, and the king's will can easily reach the people.

But what about the Qing Dynasty?
For the Qing Dynasty, the emperor's will must pass through thousands of courtiers across the country before it can be implemented.

The officialdom of the Qing Dynasty was like a forest, and officials of lower rank were like leaves, which had to be attached to the branches, and the branches had to be attached to the trunk, and the trunk had to be attached to the roots.Between the roots of the trees, the roots are intertwined, and the whole body is affected by a single hair.

The content of the reform is very good, learn advanced western technology, and vigorously develop industry and commerce. If it can be implemented, China's prosperity and strength are just around the corner!
However, the reform did not take care of...to put it harshly, it harmed the interests of most officials.

Your role is only to advocate. Without the support of officials, who will organize learning?Who will build the factories?Who will do business? "

Everyone was silent, Tan Sitong stood up and said: "The words of the virtuous brother Zhongde are deafening. If the officials of the Qing Dynasty can open their eyes and see the world, why is the country like this?"

Zhou Ding picked up the wine glass, clinked a glass with Tan Sitong, and said, "Brother Fusheng just called me Mr. Zhou, I thought you didn't recognize me as a brother?"

Tan Sitong drank it down, and said embarrassingly, "Brother Yu, I'm ashamed! Brother, you haven't talked about peace, so why not continue, I'll be all ears!"

Zhou Ding drank the wine in his glass, put down the wine glass and said: "Today, other powerful countries in the world are staring at the Qing Dynasty. To them, the Qing Dynasty has a vast territory and a dense population. If it is not for the backward technology, it will be the world's largest country. One of the most powerful countries.

The Qing Dynasty is now the fat in the mouths of many powerful hunting countries. Once the Qing Dynasty rises, this piece of fat will inevitably fly away, and even turn into a tiger to take brutal revenge on the country that gnawed at it.

Therefore, the great powers of various countries are not willing to make the Qing Dynasty stronger. As far as I know: the powerful countries have reached a tacit agreement to implement a technological blockade against the Qing Dynasty. All advanced technologies and advanced weapons will not be sold to the Qing Dynasty! "

Liu Guangdi got up and said, "Now RB can produce foreign guns and cannons independently. No matter how bad we are, we can't be worse than RB people, right? Can't we become stronger?"

Zhou Ding nodded, and said to Liu Guangdi: "Brother Peicun is right, but have you ever thought that RB gradually became stronger after learning Western technology.

Before the Sino-Japanese War, RB's warships were all purchased from other countries. For this reason, RB owed huge debts!

If RB hadn't won the Qing Dynasty and received huge compensation, this country would have gone bankrupt long ago! "

Everyone was silent for a while, and Tan Sitong asked, "I don't know what advice Zhongde has for China's future!"

 Ask for votes, ask for votes!Ask for collection!
