C8 Mr Xiao's Instruction of the Rivers and Mountains

"Kneel down …" gray beard, who was behind him, gave him a powerful kick. This time, Xiao Letian was so strong that he directly kneeled on the ground.

"Stinky kid, you've killed so many of our brothers, and you're already our king just by chopping your head off … Our leader, Xiao Letianson, has a heart. Kid, remember, you have to avoid Laozi in your next life. " After saying that, he raised the steel knife that had killed countless people high up in the air. The next second, it would be the end of Xiao Letian.

His eyes were round as he stared at Shi Dakai. "You will regret killing me, because I am the only one who knows the reason for your Sky Kingdom's failure, and Liu Tie is the only one who knows how to overthrow the Manchu …" At this time, Xiao Letian was ready to throw caution to the wind. He knew that if he did not use this trump card, his end would be certain. Wu Tie almost roared with all of his strength.

"If you kill me, no one will be able to answer your questions, and the questions in your heart will never be answered …"

"Stop!" Shi Dakai had already been overwhelmed by Xiao Letian's imposing manner. He never thought that this young man would have such an arrogant tone. Millions of capable people in the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom can't even figure out the reason for the failure, and you, two evil spirits, can actually figure it out? Wait, two evil spirits? This mountain rock could be used to fight for jade. Who knew if he might really have some dry goods in his stomach.

When the news of the invasion of the Capital City came out, Shi Dakai also fell into a deep confusion. He did not know where the Heavenly Kingdom was wrong? Was it wrong to overthrow the power of the Manchu's Tattoo? Was it wrong of him to ride on the neck of the Chinese people in the whole world? Is it unpopular to abrogate unequal treaties with foreigners?

Yes, Shi Dakai also knew that the internal strife within the Kingdom of Heaven was extremely serious. But to push all the sins of failure onto the inside? Shi Dakai felt that this reason wasn't enough, but what was missing? He couldn't figure it out.

During the countless nights when Shi Dakai sat under a lamp, he racked his brains to recall the eleven years of history that had sprung up in the Kingdom of Heaven, but he could not find the answer to the question. Sometimes he would rummage through the history books and the ancient texts left behind by Sage, trying to find the crux of the matter from the hidden truths. However, even Sage from thousands of years ago seemed to be helpless against this confusing world.

Seek, fail, seek again, fail again... Shi Dakai's mood had reached the brink of collapse. Until just now, this young man who called himself Alone overseas actually said that he knew the answer to the question?

Shi Dakai grabbed Xiao Letian's collar. "Young man, I advise you not to play with fire. If you can't say anything and want to stall for time, then what's waiting for you isn't beheading, being chopped into pieces is light …"

Xiao Letian took a few deep breaths. He knew that he had mastered the rhythm of the negotiations and cut open a wound on Shi Dakai's closed heart. Xiao Letian did not care whether the wound was bloody, he only wanted to save the lives of the hundred people in Mountain Temple.

Xiao Letian said fiercely, "Let the people in the Mountain Temple go, they are not your enemies. Otherwise, I won't reveal even half a word to you …"

"Hehe, if you want the lives of those people, it will depend on whether the answer you gave me is worth it or not. "Don't worry, I, Shi Dakai, am a man of indomitable spirit. The title of Prince Charming is not just for show. I can't lie to you …"

Xiao Letian rubbed his wrists that were tied up in pain, and said coldly: "I will believe you once, time is of the essence, I don't have the time to walk in circles with you. With Prince's knowledge, you also know that overthrowing Manchu is an extremely difficult mission, if I just casually told you two tactics, you probably wouldn't have believed it either …"

"How about this, I can only discuss this from an area that you are not familiar with. Although it is just the tip of the iceberg, it can still help you open up your mind …"

Xiao Letian thought for a long time, then carefully organized his words. He picked up a tree branch and started to draw Maps on the sand. This place is the UK, the France, and here is the Mainland. There are also Africa and the India, all the way until our China … "

Xiao Letian started from Second Opium War, from the Yarrow incident, the incident with Priest Ma all the way to the battle of oculi bridge, and also the burning of Yuan Ming Yuan. At this point, Xiao Letian was not simply reviewing the whole incident, but was also clearly analyzing the interests of the various countries in the West that were behind this war.

"In the First Opium War, it was after the war that Lin Zexu became famous that British ceded the Hong Kong island and forced the opening of the Qing Dynasty. Guangzhou, Xiamen, Fuzhou, Ningbo, Shanghai, these five ports, Foreigners's influence can be considered as starting to infiltrate in, but it is still far from enough for the entire Qing Kingdom to open its doors …"

Initially, when the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom was at its worst, the foreigners hoped to get more trading rights from the Heavenly Capital City. However, they never expected that Hong Xiuquan and the rest were even more xenophobic, and actually declared the treaty between the Qing Dynasty and the foreigners to be null and void. Furthermore, it had provoked chaos in the Shanghai's small sword faction.

From that moment onwards, the foreigners had completely given up on the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom and were trying to support it. But unfortunately, although the Manchu had lost to the First Opium War, they did not seem to be hurt. They still stubbornly believed themselves to be from the Empire of Heaven.

Since the Manchu was not enlightened, then he could only use military power. Thus, although the war seemed to be coincidental, it was definitely inevitable.

From that day onwards, the great gates of the China was completely opened. The Western powers had started to invade the interior completely, and their goods were to flow along the long coastline and countless other inland rivers. Their Country's cheap industrial products could actually sell for a sky-high price in the China, and over time, their China would become weaker and weaker, while the West would become stronger and stronger.

"That is what they want, and it is what they have done. To put it harshly, in a sense, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom had actually provoked westerner's business adventure … "Wing King, you don't have to like it. If the China used to be a fat person, then the China who had experienced 11 years of civil war would be a dead fatty who had more than just lost his vitality …"

"I understand Prince's feelings. Purging Demons is bad, and the foreigners who bully China are bad as well. Everyone wants to make China strong and rich in a good mood, but the fault of all of you is that you know nothing about the outside world. "Maybe there's a possibility. I'm talking about the hypothesis that if you had opened your eyes and looked at the world, maybe none of this would have happened …"

Yes, opening your eyes and looking at the world is a kind of mentality. This is also the mentality that Ethnic Group, a weak person, must have in order to get rich and strong. On this point, the Japan of the island nation on the sea had done much better than the Daqing.

In the eyes of Government's and Taiping Heavenly Kingdom's leaders, westerner was a type of demon. What UK's, France's, and Italy's, they were all small marten.

They didn't know that the English and French had once fought in the Hundred Years War, and didn't know that the Prussia was ambitious to establish a new Empire, or that the Russia and the English and French were fighting in the war. They also didn't know that Russian to the north had turned his gaze to the east because he had lost in the Crimea.

Xiao Letian is now like Teacher who enlightened primary school students, just short of hands-on teaching them. From the general situation on Earth, Western Powers's composition, as well as the grudges and conflicts between them, were slowly instilled into Shi Dakai and gray beard.

As he finished, even gray beard, the rude person, slapped her thigh. "Aiya, so there are so many twists and turns in the foreigners." They are even more ruthless than us? "

At that time, the established capitalist Country, such as the English and French, still had not completed their global colonization plan. The new capitalist Country was desperately fighting for the remaining leftovers, and the conflicts between them were accumulating more and more.

According to Xiao Letian's explanation, the time and degree of industrialization in the Western Country was different. There were only a few Country that could cross half of the Earth and put in troops. UK, France and the USA. As for the other Country s, they would at most send out their Merchant ships to do some small business.

, Spain, Portugal were the star Country s of the The Age of Great Navigation.

"Now do you understand? Back then, if Sky Nation could take the initiative to establish a connection with the external Country, especially this USA and Prussia Kingdom, including the declining Spain, Portugal, and Netherlands … "First, establish a trading relationship with them. If possible, establish a relationship with each other. Only by trying to make things difficult for us can we …"

Shi Dakai looked at Xiao Letian, who was talking nonstop about everything, and suddenly developed a hallucination, as if the young man in front of him was a god that knew everything.

Xiao Letian was very confident of himself, because other than the two-edged Translation in Qing Kingdom, there were no one else who could do a complete research on Western politics, economy, culture, etc. To put it bluntly, Qing nationality looked at Western Powers as if he was an alien on Earth.

Genius! This was a true genius! Shi Dakai could tell from Xiao Letian's confident tone that this young man was not lying. He was actually a great scholar who was proficient in western knowledge. Alone overseas's identity turned out to be real, and with his vast knowledge, he was definitely a scholar overseas.

Shi Dakai was not an ordinary great king of bandit, he was a serious and high-class intellectual, he was well-versed in the China's traditional wisdom, and he had also studied the western world carefully in the years of rebellion. However, no one could talk about the western world as thoroughly as Xiao Letian, and no book could talk about a system like Xiao Letian.

Shi Dakai suddenly laughed, his laugh was extremely sinister. Xiao Letian did not expect that this revolutionary who was highly regarded in history could smile in such a sinister manner. He suddenly interrupted Xiao Letian.

"mister is truly a great talent. I am already in awe of him to the point of prostrating myself to the ground." Let them go, that's for sure, I can let go of all the people in the Mountain Temple, and I can also say that we won't take revenge for Brothers who died last night. These 110,000 silver will be our dead brother's pension … "

Xiao Letian licked his dry lips and bowed towards Shi Dakai. "Thank you Wing King, I thank Prince on behalf of all the people in Mountain Temple. I will tell them the good news now …" Xiao Letian turned around and was about to leave.

"Stop!" Shi Dakai suddenly spoke up. He stared at Xiao Letian with an evil smile, "I haven't finished speaking. I have a condition for letting him go …" I am still lacking a Military Advisor, I think mister is definitely worthy of the title. "Men, bring mister and let's go back to the village …"

Ah? Xiao Letian was dumbfounded, who in the world would be willing to be an emissary and send himself in? I still have to go to the Old Beijing for a walk. I still have to marry a few beautiful wives, what's wrong with locking me up in the mountain Ditch.

"Prince, you can't do that. You can't force others to make things difficult for yourself. Forcing a melon doesn't taste good …" "Prince, Prince …" Unfortunately, no matter how Xiao Letian yelled his throat out, it was all in vain.
