Chapter 362: Only foreign guns, not foreign affairs (please order, please vote)
"Shengfu, what you said is very good and right!"
Wo Ren twirled his beard, looked at Weng Tong with stern eyes, and said word by word: "I also have a question, please answer it sincerely."
Weng Tong puffed out his chest and said seriously: "Master Wa, please ask me. I will tell you everything I know."
Wo Ren nodded: "Okay, let me ask you, do you think the set of Westernization that Luo Xueyan did in Shanghai can save the Qing Dynasty? Tell the truth! No matter what you say, only God knows, the earth knows, and the son knows
, I know, and your father and brother also know."
"This...:..." Weng Tong looked at his father, and he thought: "Gen Feng is a great scholar in this world, and today I am discussing Taoism with a junior like you. What do you have to worry about? Just say whatever you know."
"Yes, father." Weng Tong turned around and said to Wo Ren, "Master Wo, I think that the New Deal and Westernization that Luo Xueyan launched in Shanghai will never save the Qing Dynasty!"
"Why?" Wo Ren looked at Weng Tong.
"Because the purpose of the New Deal and Westernization was not to save the Qing Dynasty at all!" Weng Tong said solemnly.
"What's that for?" Wo Ren asked again.
"It's Tuqiang!"
Weng Tong said: "Junior stayed in Shanghai for two months. During this period, Luo Xue division led his new army and navy to follow the foreigners across the ocean and invaded Japan. They destroyed several Japanese forts and set them on fire.
Their port and shopping mall killed thousands of people and forced them to pay a large sum of gold... And Xueshuai's new army and navy can show off their power in foreign lands. There is no doubt that they have won the New Deal and Westernization.
merit.
In addition, when the junior was in Shanghai, he also inquired about the inside story of the Western powers from several secretaries of Luo Xue's secretariat who were familiar with foreign affairs. Then he realized that the reason why the Western powers were strong was that they had strong ships, powerful guns, and strong soldiers and weapons. Their
That little bit of magic
Coincidentally, it was mainly used for fighting! But after they had powerful soldiers on land and sea, they took the road of fighting with each other. Not only did they fight each other on the European continent, but they also spent money and war overseas. They killed people, set fires, and stole gold and silver. They did all kinds of evil.
.
Luo Xueyan, on the other hand, studied Westernization and implemented the New Deal, but he just got started, and followed the three powers of Britain, France, and the United States to plunder overseas...\n...\n.\nWhat is his Westernization and New Deal?
You can just imagine what it is!"
"That's good!" Wo Ren clapped his hands, "Then tell me, why Luo Xueyan's aggressive Westernization and New Deal policies couldn't save the Qing Dynasty?"
Weng Tong sighed softly: "Because the cause of today's chaos is not the lack of money at all. When this dynasty was first founded, there was definitely not as much money in the world as it is now. Can't the world still be peaceful?
?7
"Then why can't the world be at peace now?" Wo Ren asked.
Tongdao Weng said: "In my humble opinion, there are two reasons for the current chaos in the world. First, there are too many people and too little land. The land in the world cannot support the people of the world. As a result, more and more people are short of food and clothing, hungry and cold, and have no way out.
, so it is easy to be deceived by others, leading to chaos.
The second is that the human heart is corrupt! Correcting the human heart is the foundation of governing the world! If the human heart is not righteous, the rich will be unkind, the poor will be unfair, the superiors will be unkind, and the inferiors will be uneasy.
If there are few people in the world but there is a lot of land, we can still manage to maintain it by equalizing the land and annexing it. But once the number of people increases too much, and the countless fields in the world are gradually owned by the rich and powerful, who are unkind and unmerciful,
Greed is tyrannical. The poor are restless. They don’t know that wealth is in the sky, but they only hope for chaos to equalize wealth. How can the world not be in chaos? How can such chaos be Westernization? Can the New Deal pacify it?
Even if the attempt to become stronger is successful, it is nothing more than going to sea to plunder some gold and silver land...\n.:.\n.\nBut the people in the world have 40,000,000, and the land is only 100,000 acres, how can it be plundered from overseas?
Can you settle down with some land wealth?
Moreover, the great powers such as Britain, France, the United States, and Russia have done a better job in Westernization and the New Deal, and have become more sophisticated and cunning. They have long since carved up the wealthy overseas lands. If we, China, want to fight for it, we will only incur more trouble.
Serious disaster is really not the best policy."
"That's good!" Wo Ren nodded repeatedly and turned to Weng Xinzhong, "Sui'an, I think this young master of yours has a great talent in the world!"
Weng Xincun said with a smile: "Brother Gen Feng is too generous. Quanzi's Confucianism is still shallow. Although he knows that only by correcting people's hearts can the world be saved, he doesn't know how to correct people's hearts. What's the use?'
Wo Ren burst out laughing and said, "After returning from the northwest, I often exchanged letters with Zeng Disheng to discuss current affairs, and I gained some insights."
"Oh? I'd like to hear the details." Weng Xinchun asked.
Wo Ren taught Xu Dao: "My opinion is only eight words: only foreign guns, not Westernization!"
"Only foreign guns, not foreign affairs?" Weng Xiancun frowned slightly, as if he still didn't fully understand.
Woren said: "Foreign guns can calm the troubled times, but foreigners must defuse people's hearts...:::. Now the world is in chaos, and if we don't rely on foreign guns and cannons, our Qing Dynasty will be in danger of collapse! But in order to obtain foreign guns and cannons, we must
Regardless of the corruption of people's hearts, we carry out Westernization, and even regard foreigners as our teachers, abandon our righteous way of China, and take the wrong path of Westernization. If things go on like this, we will inevitably turn China into a barbarian.
The strategy of foreign barbarians to strengthen their country and strengthen their army is nothing more than the five hegemons and seven heroes' all-purpose domineering skills, coupled with strong ships and cannons, and then used across the five continents and four seas...:::.It is really true.
The collapse of etiquette and music has reached its extreme! I am determined to conquer China, a civilized country. Do we want to abandon the righteous people and retreat and use the skills of the Five Hegemons and Seven Heroes to compete with foreign beasts for mere overseas gains?"
After hearing Wo Ren's theory, the Weng family and his son all admired this stubborn old man.
This Woren is worthy of being a master of Neo-Confucianism. He really has something in his heart. He can actually express such a large set of principles against Westernization...:::. And such truth comes from the mouth of him, a leader of Neo-Confucianism.
If you say it, many people will agree with it, and it might become a trend.
It seems that it is not only Seng Gelinqin who will have a headache next, but probably Prince Gong and Gong Laoliu as well!
Weng Xiancun hugged Wo Ren and said, "Listening to Gen Feng's words today is better than reading ten years of books! However, the foreign guns and cannons in the hands of the imperial court should still be in the hands of the Eight Banners disciples!"
"Of course!" Woren said, twirling his beard, "The disciples of the Eight Banners have been favored by the country and should serve in the army. Is there any reason to abandon the Eight Banners and use Horqin? I will write to the emperor tomorrow about this matter...\n.\
n.\n.\n.Sui'an, would you like to submit a letter with Wa?"
"Of course!" Weng Xinchun agreed, "Weng is asking for it!"
Tianjing, Xiaguan.
The "Yuefa" sailing from Osaka finally docked at the somewhat deserted pier in Xiaguan, Tianjing.
Tianjing, the capital of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, is still the largest city in the southeast, surpassing Suzhou and Shanghai!
First of all, the area of ​​​​this city is not comparable to that of Suzhou and Shanghai...\n.\n.\n.\n. After all, this is the best place in the world created by Zhu Yuanzhang, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, for the descendants of the Ming Dynasty! It is no secret that
The area of ​​the inner city alone is much larger than that of Suzhou, let alone Shanghai.
Secondly, the population of Tianjing is not smaller than that of Suzhou and Shanghai. Although the Taiping Army slaughtered a group of people when they came in, many more disappeared one after another. However, Hong Xiuquan also brought in many "new Tianjing people", and with them
As the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom's rule in the south of the Yangtze River became increasingly stable, many businessmen from all over the world gathered outside the inner city of Tianjing, and started business in the prosperous place on the west bank of the Qinhuai River. The population of Tianjing City once again reached one million.
up and down!
"It's... so majestic!"
Daozi, who had just gotten off the "Yuefa", looked at the tall and majestic Yifeng Gate near Xiaguan Pier and couldn't help but let out a sigh of admiration.
Such a majestic city gate can never be seen in Japan, and only the Kingdom of Heaven and the residence of the second son of God deserve to have it!
Thinking of this, she turned around and looked at the fourteen girls who had followed her all the way from Osaka. She nodded heavily and said loudly: "Tianjing City has arrived... Let's go to see His Majesty the King now!"
"Hai! Heavenly King...half a year!"
A group of Japanese girls cheered together, and the Taiping soldiers guarding the Xiaguan Pier in Tianjing were a little confused.
Where do these women come from? What is "half a year"? The leader seems to be a foreign woman... she looks pretty!
The person who was ordered to lead the team to guard Xiaguan Wharf today is a brigade commander from the Yulin Army of the Taiping Army. His name is Chen Decai. He is in his twenties, short and capable, with very energetic features. He is wearing a silk yellow robe and a tie on his head.
Wearing a red scarf, carrying a knife at his waist, and leading a few Yulin Army soldiers carrying foreign guns, he strode up, pointed at the leader of the rice, and asked loudly: "Hey, you foreign woman, where did you come from?
What is Tianjing City doing?”
Daozi immediately bowed to Chen Decai and replied in stiff Chinese: "Sir, the little girl's name is Daozi. She is from Nagasaki, Japan. She is the cousin of the Heavenly King and a disciple of Duke Hong Daquan. She was ordered to come to Tianjing to serve His Majesty the Heavenly King.
....

Before she finished speaking, Chen Decai shouted:
