Chaos in the world? Yi Zhishu glanced at the other party suspiciously, during this time Nanyang has become a new crow. Piece trading center, smuggling of crows. The main force of the film is the Heaven and Earth Society, Huang Dianyuan, who is the second leader of the Fujian Three Points Association, should have been in contact with the Nanyang Heaven and Earth Society, he said that the world is in chaos, what does it mean?

After a slight groan, Yi Zhizhi said tentatively: "Heaven and earth will want to take advantage of the opportunity of the war between the imperial court and England to fish in troubled waters?" ”

"Contentment should be clear that the Green Battalion of the Eight Banners is far from being the opponent of the British army." Huang Dianyuan said: "Heaven and earth will take the purpose of opposing the Qing Dynasty and restoring the Ming Dynasty, how can they let go of such a rare opportunity?" After a pause, he continued: "Contentment has been training private soldiers in the eight institutes, and now it has formed 10,000 elite regiments to train, why did you come?" Why not take this rare opportunity to combine the inside and the outside, and stir it upside down! ”

Yi Zhizhi smiled contentedly, "Brother Rong and don't be busy buttoning your hat under the bottom, accumulating and training private soldiers, Yuan Qi can't afford it, the soldiers of the eight institutes are the Yuan Qi Merchant Group and the Mine Protection Team Harbor Protection Team, the former Deng Butang, the current Lin Butang, the Admiral of the Navy, and the Qiongzhou General Soldier, all of them are clear, how can you say that you can train private soldiers?" ”

Huang Dianyuan said with a smile: "The Changhua Iron Mine should be a miner, a mine protection team, a port protection team, and the Qinglian Church, and the content itself is also a member of the Qinglian Sect, and the government will never know about it." ”

Yi Zhizu took out a cigar and sniffed it on the tip of his nose, and then said slowly: "How does this sound like a threat to me?" ”

"Don't dare." Huang Dianyuan said with a smile: "At three o'clock, the lives of thousands of congregations are in the hands of contentment, how dare you threaten them?" However, "

Yi Zhizu waved his hand, interrupted his words, and said in a deep voice: "Yuanqi is different from heaven and earth. Yuanqi Bank branches are all over the provinces and counties of Guangdong. Machine silk reeling factories are located in various counties and towns producing silk. All the proprietors are gentry and businessmen, and all the staff are good citizens, living a rich life, worry-free food and clothing, how can they be chaotic? If Yuan Qi advocated chaos, he would collapse immediately, and if those big men in Guangzhou hadn't seen this, how could they allow Yuan Qi to form such a large-scale elite team training? ”

This is the truth, Huang Dianyuan nodded. Then he said suspiciously: "That is the case, why did Yuan Qi bother to raise such a large private army?" Not to mention that it is to assist the imperial court in resisting foreign aggression. ”

Yi Zhizu struck a match and lit the cigar, slowly exhaled a puff of smoke, and then said: "Yuanqi's group practice is really to assist the imperial court to resist foreign aggression, Yuanqi's factories are outside the city of Guangzhou, once the war spreads to the city of Guangzhou, the consequences are unimaginable." ”

When he stared at him, Huang Dianyuan swallowed a smile and said, "I am not a local magistrate in Guangzhou, why should I be content and say so high-sounding?" Changhua group training, Shunde group training, Yuanqi group training. Plus those few Western warships at sea, two fleets. There are more than 20,000 soldiers and horses in the hands of contentment, all to assist the imperial court in resisting foreign aggression? ”

Seeing that the other party had a clear understanding of his own family background, Yi Zhixin was not surprised, and said: "It's not that it is high-sounding, Yuan Qi cultivated arms, which was originally for self-protection, and resisting foreign insults was also self-protection." ”

Hearing this, Huang Dianyuan said keenly: "Contentment worried about the imperial court's annexation of Yuanqi? ”

Yi Zhizu rolled his eyes and said, "With such a large scale of Yuanqi, not to mention the rich country, it is also the rich party, can you not worry?" ”

"That's a bit confusing down there." Huang Dianyuan said with a smile: "Yuan Qi is so rich, and he has such a large number of private soldiers, isn't the imperial court even more fearful?" ”

Yi Zhisuff said with a smile: "Then it depends on how Yuan Qi grasps the proportions of this." ”

What does this mean? Huang Dianyuan was a little puzzled, and said suspiciously: "Can you tell me more about contentment?" ”

"I can't." Yi Zhisuff refused without thinking: "It is related to the development of Yuanqi, and it is inconvenient to disclose it below." As he spoke, he changed his words and said: "There is no subordinate relationship between the various gangs of the Heaven and Earth Society, this time, the Heaven and Earth Associations in Nanyang, Guangdong, and Fujian can unite to unify the incident?" ”

Huang Dianyuan smiled and said, "Yuan Qi is bent on resisting foreign aggression in order to protect himself, we are friends and enemies, so it is inconvenient to disclose the details below." ”

Hearing this, Yi Zhizu frowned, and said, "Shouldn't the Heaven and Earth Society want to help the Emperor in the abuse and assist the British in attacking the Qing Dynasty?" ”

"What do you mean by aiding and abetting?" Huang Dianyuan said: "What we are against is the Qing Dynasty, why not help England?" It's just using England as a gunman. ”

Are you really ready to help England? Yi Zhishu was speechless for a while, and only after a while did he say: "This kind of behavior is no different from a traitor!" To be honest, I don't resent that heaven and earth will rebel against the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty, but so unscrupulous, it makes people have to be disgusted. ”

Seeing that he bluntly rebuked the Heaven and Earth Society as a traitor, and showed no mercy, Huang Dianyuan's face was a little ugly, and he defended: "With the help of foreign forces to recover the rivers and mountains and fight the world, it can be said that there is no end to history, why is it so unbearable as contentment said?" ”

"That's different." Yi Zhizhi said in a deep voice: "The so-called foreign races in history are all ethnic groups around China, although the armed forces are strong, but the civilization is backward, and they are finally integrated into the advanced Han civilization, but England is different, not to mention the ocean, Western civilization is not inferior to our Eastern Han civilization, and even surpasses us, the British invasion represents the invasion of Western civilization, and we may be assimilated by Western civilization like the ethnic minorities who have been assimilated in history." ”

Huang Dianyuan said suspiciously: "It seems that there is nothing wrong with the ethnic minorities who have been assimilated by the Han nationality, and it is not good to have the opportunity to accept advanced civilizations?" ”

"Good! How can it be bad? Yi Zhizu said coldly: "Brother Yourong is also a person who has traveled thousands of miles, he should know what the result of being assimilated is, to say that it is good, it is to accept advanced civilization, to say that it is to be ugly, it is to exterminate the species!" Why did the Manchus reject Manchu-Han intermarriage? Why keep the purity of Manchu blood? I'm afraid of being completely assimilated! I'm afraid of the extinction of the dead race! ”

Huang Dianyuan was stunned for a moment, and then said in disbelief: "Contentment shouldn't be alarmist, is it so serious?" ”

After knocking on the ashes, Yi Zhizhi said: "Cultural invasion, have you ever heard of Brother Rong?" ”

Huang Dianyuan shook his head and said, "I really haven't heard of this. ”

"Western missionaries came to our Qing Dynasty to preach, which was a kind of cultural invasion. Why did the imperial court suppress it severely. Until the end, Western missionaries were strictly forbidden to preach. Just because Western missionaries spread not only Western religion, but also Western civilization. Yi Zhisuff said slowly: "Brother Rong, imagine that thirty or fifty years later, the people of the country will speak foreign languages, write foreign characters, believe in foreign religions, and wear foreign clothes, what will be the situation?" ”

This is the case. Huang Dianyuan really didn't dare to imagine it, and groaned slightly, before he said: "We just use Yingyi as a gunman, how can we let Yingyi enter the unification of China?" ”

Yi Zhicontent said unceremoniously: "Self-deception! ”

"It's really not self-defeating." Huang Dianyuan said disappreliantly: "England is small and narrow, the population is sparse, our China is a large number of people, England actually just wants to trade with us, and has no intention of entering China." ”

"Yes, the English have no intention of entering China, their purpose is only to turn China into their colony. Even if the Heaven and Earth Society can finally succeed in overthrowing the Manchus, China will become the same as India. Yi Zhizhi said and rolled his eyes. He laughed and said, "Nanyang Tiandi will know a lot about England, so it should know what India is like now?" ”

Huang Dianyuan sneered: "The Manchu emperor can prevent China from becoming a colony of England? ”

"As long as we win this war, we can avoid becoming a colony of England." Yi Zhizhi said: "Yuan Qi spared no effort to donate and form a group practice for this purpose. ”

After being silent for a long time, Huang Dianyuan said: "The Tao is not the same. As he spoke, he stood up, and seeing that he wanted to say goodbye, Yi Zhizhi smiled and said: "Not necessarily, the road is divided into avenues and small paths, the goal is divided into long-term and short-term, and there is also the ultimate goal." ”

"Oh?" Huang Dianyuan glanced at him in some surprise, sat down slowly, and said, "What is the high opinion of contentment, listen to it in the next place." ”

"Let's not talk about the Heaven and Earth Society." Yi Zhizu said with a smile: "Brother Rong is a scholar, and he also has fame, does he have the ambition to establish a heart for heaven and earth, a life for the people, a continuation of learning for the saints, and peace for all generations?" “

Huang Dianyuan glanced at him vigilantly and said, "Don't go around in circles if you are content." ”

Seeing that he didn't take this stubble, Yi Zhixin smiled disapprovingly, and said: "Then let's say that Heaven and Earth will be in the next business, and there is no intention of a career, and it can be regarded as a person in the gang, all along, I am very puzzled, if it is said that at the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, Heaven and Earth will be against the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty, that is the heart of the homeland, for more than a hundred years, the Ming Dynasty has long been forgotten, the Manchu Qing Dynasty orthodoxy, has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, but the Heaven and Earth Society is still to oppose the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty for the purpose, to put it bluntly, you are just deceiving yourself, looking for a reason for rebellion, wanting to overthrow the Manchu Qing Dynasty and be the emperor yourself, Yes and no? ”

Huang Dianyuan sneered: "Contentment is also a Han person, so he is willing to let the Manchus enslave him all the time?" ”

"Of course I am not reconciled, otherwise there is no need to leave Brother Rong behind." Yi Zhizhi smiled and said: "If it is in Europe, there is no need for Yuan Qi to guard against the imperial court so much, because in Europe, private property is sacrosanct, and Yuan Qi can develop and grow wholeheartedly, but in the Qing Dynasty, I have to spend great effort to deal with the imperial court to protect my own private property, and I can't tolerate this imperial court on this basis."

In terms of long-term goals, Yuanqi and Tiandihui have the same goal, and the difference between the two lies in the short-term goal and the ultimate goal. ”

The ultimate goal, Huang Dianyuan was a little surprised, and couldn't help asking, "What is the ultimate goal?" ”

Yi Zhizhi said with a smile: "What is the ultimate goal of the Heaven and Earth Society? It should be right to overthrow the Manchus and become the emperor himself, right? ”

Huang Dianyuan glanced at him and said, "Overthrow the Manchu Qing Dynasty and don't be the emperor yourself, is it possible to nominate someone else to be the emperor?" ”

"So, our end goal is different." Yi Zhizhi said: "Yuan Qi's goal is to overthrow the imperial system, implement the democratic republican system of the West, and thoroughly give democracy and freedom to the gentry, merchants and the common people, of course, to overthrow the imperial system, it is necessary to overthrow the Manchu Qing." ”

"Overthrow the Empire? Democratic republic? Huang Dianyuan said in surprise: "Without the emperor, what would it be?" ”

At present, the more enlightened ones are the two systems of constitutional monarchy and democratic republic, Yi Zhicontent naturally did not dare to say that the monarchy was constitutional, which was inconsistent with the purpose of the Heaven and Earth Society, and he smiled, and then he said: "Regarding the democratic republican system in the West, the "Xiguan Daily" will make a detailed introduction, and Brother Rong will pay attention to it.

Let's talk about the short-term goals first, what are the current goals of the Heaven and Earth Society? Assist the English Navy to capture Guangzhou, capture Fujian, Jiangsu, and Zhejiang, all the way north, and fight to Beijing? ”

After a slight groan, Huang Dianyuan smiled to himself and said, "We don't have such a long-term idea, we have to see the scale of the British troops first, and whether the war is going smoothly before we can decide." ”

"That is to say, wait and see first, if the English fight is easy, you will help the Taiping Fist, if the war is not smooth, there should be no such thing, but so?" Yi Zhizhi laughed and said: "This is the same thing as seeing money, not a short-term goal." ”

Huang Dianyuan's face was blushing when he said it, the result of the discussion of the leading brothers in each gang was really this plan, it was really a good idea to see money, he said frankly: "I'm not afraid of contentment jokes, this is indeed a temporary intention." ”

"Then I'm afraid you're going to be disappointed." Yi Zhizhi said: "As Brother Rong said, the purpose of the British army is for trade, so this determines that the scale of the British army will not be too large, besides, the British and the Qing Dynasty are separated by tens of thousands of miles, and the army is on an expedition, how much military expenditure does this cost?" England will not settle accounts, according to my estimates, sending 20,000 troops is the limit. ”

"Twenty thousand?" Huang Dianyuan couldn't help but say: "20,000 soldiers and horses on an expedition to fight the Qing Dynasty? How is this possible, this is simply self-touching the mold. ”

"Don't underestimate the English Navy." Yi Zhizhi said: "20,000 English navies are enough to rampage along the coast of the Qing Dynasty. ”

Huang Dianyuan said with some disappointment: "That won't help anything?" ”

Seeing his disappointed face, Yi Zhizhi smiled and said, "Let's make a deal, how about it?" ”

Huang Dianyuan was a little vigilant and said, "What deal?" ”

After pondering for a moment, Yi Zhizhi said: "When the army is dispatched, it must be guided, and the English Navy knows very little about all aspects of the Qing Dynasty, so it must be familiar with all aspects of the Qing Dynasty, and people who are relieved to help make suggestions, and the people in the Heaven and Earth Society can be said to be the most suitable."

If the British army is invincible and can help Tiandihui achieve great things, Yuanqi can not only respond positively in Guangzhou, but also provide large silver loans for Tiandihui, but if the British army is unable to help Tiandihui succeed, I hope that Tiandihui can cooperate with Yuanqi to kill the spirit of the British army. ”

"How to cooperate?"

"Simple." Yi Zhicontent said with a smile: "Just guide the British army to attack coastal ports or cities, and the specifics will be talked about at that time." ”

This is not a difficult matter, and this transaction can be said to be beneficial and harmless to the Heaven and Earth Society, and after a slight groan, Huang Dianyuan said: "What is the benefit?" After a pause, he added: "Most of the brothers in the Nanyang Tiandi Society are living on Temasek-English territory. (To be continued.) )
