"I thought emperors all had dragon scales on their bodies, or their heads looked like dragons. If you look closely, the emperor of Vietnam is no different from ordinary people. When an officer raised this issue, the delegation of the Liberation Army immediately burst into agreement.

"That's right. Didn't you say that the true dragon sons were all dragon sons and dragon grandchildren? ”

"Can they become like ordinary people?"

Shen Xin never expected that his comrades would have such thoughts, and he remembered that he actually had such absurd speculations when he was young. But is this really absurd? If you haven't read history books, but only from folk books and dramas, the people who become emperors are real dragons, and those who have achieved fame and become ministers are naturally descended from the stars.

"Maybe the dragon scales are hidden under the clothes?"

"Didn't you say that dragons change?"

The officers of the Guangfu Army did not have Shen Xin's consciousness as a political commissar, but everyone talked more and more energetically, the sense of respect became weaker and weaker, and the curiosity became greater and greater. At the end, the military doctor in the delegation snorted coldly and said: "You are all talking nonsense, get an emperor over, send it to the autopsy room to be cut, it should be decomposed and decomposed, it should be sliced and sliced, and it will be studied, can it be studied?" ”

This study of the emperor's body secrets caused the discussion among the discussants to pause for a moment, but after a while, someone shouted, "Kill a few emperors and count it as a ball!" Didn't we rise up in rebellion to enter Beijing and kill the Tartar Emperor! ”

"That's right! Enter Beijing and kill the emperor! ”

Everyone immediately shouted.

Shen Xin was angry and amused by the change in the direction of this discussion, the Guangfu Army was worthy of a rebellious army, and it was true that the lack of historical knowledge led to various misunderstandings about the relationship between the emperor and the gods. However, when the topic of discussion entered the knife-to-knife and gun-to-gun fight, everyone immediately regained their self-confidence.

Since the love has reached this point, Shen Xin finally spoke, "I said! If the emperor is really the so-called dragon, then why did the Manchus lose every battle with us. If anyone who has a reputation is a great official, they are all descended from the stars, why did I kill so many Manchu officials, and I didn't see anything different about them. ”

The officers of the Liberation Army thought that when the Liberation Army was dominating the world, they had killed hundreds or thousands of officials and did not see anything unusual. I also felt strange in my heart where the emperor came from. Zheng Zhongming asked, "Political Commissar Shen, how did this emperor come here?" ”

This question made Shen Xin groan for a moment. He suddenly remembered one thing, Wei Ze had appointed his wife Qi Hongyi to take the lead in compiling a simple "General History of China", a large part of which was actually about the emperors of various dynasties. Including the emperors who are from there, what the ancestors did.

Shen Xin understands now, not to mention ordinary people, even if it is indeed difficult for the officers of the Guangfu Army to completely treat the emperor as an ordinary person. Shen Xin himself admired Wei Ze's ability, vision, and knowledge. If it was said that Wei Ze was descended from the stars, Shen Xin knew that he did not dare to completely rule out this possibility. But this does not mean that Shen Xin thinks that Wei Ze is invulnerable and has magical powers that can change.

However, the political system of the Guangfu Army was talked about, and the emperor was nothing more than a political system formed by this social system. If no one conducts "political enlightenment" and "political education" for ordinary people, everyone's understanding of the world is nothing more than looking at the world with themselves as the core.

Thinking of this, Shen Xin said: "All the emperors in this world are normal people, and none of them have changed from a true dragon. ”

There has been a discussion about killing the emperor, and the comrades can accept this assertion. Zheng Zhongming said: "Could it be that those emperors are lying when they say that they are the true dragon emperors? ”

This assertion is both outrageous and arbitrary, Shen Xin originally wanted to clarify for the emperor, and the people who described them as dragon sons and dragon grandsons were actually those literati who tended to be inflammatory. But after thinking about it, Shen Xin didn't say so. In the training of the political department of the Guangfu Society, there was a content about the implementation of the Manchu literal prison. If it weren't for the emperor's approval, how would those literati dare to say such things? Aren't you afraid of being beheaded?

So after pondering for a moment, he resolutely said: "Those emperors are the ones who are the best at telling nonsense. When we take down Beijing, everyone can drag the Manchu emperor out, pinch it himself, and kick it a few times, and everyone will know that this so-called emperor is just an ordinary person. ”

I personally met the Vietnamese emperor and listened to the assurances of the head of the regiment, Shen Xin. Everyone gradually began to determine whether the emperor was also an ordinary person, or an ordinary person who could brag about a huge cowhide.

However, these are all off-topic gossip, and the rebels talked about how to break into Beijing for a while, drag the emperor Lao'er, who was like a rare and exotic beast, out and parade naked through the streets, and then how to peel the skin and dismantle the bones and slice them into specimens. As the gets closer to science, the cheerful discussion becomes dull. At this point, everyone quickly turned the topic back to meeting the Emperor of the Nguyen Dynasty during the day.

The attitude of the court of the Nguyen Dynasty obviously has a taste of calming things down. After showing a strong military advantage, the Liberation Army also had to give some benefits to the local commanders. Of course, Shen Xin knew that the Guangfu Army had given the officials of Guangning Town the "ice charcoal fee" on time. Bureaucrats everywhere are like bears, and they must be brought to their knees with violence. However, if the persecution is too much after submission, although those Vietnamese officials do not dare to come out in public, it will cause headaches if they do something in private. At this time, there will be some "lubrication" costs, which are actually small money, but they will have an immediate effect.

It's just that the immediate effect is too good, even knowing that the Vietnamese people don't understand the strategic significance of the coal produced by the Hongji Coal Mine, and the slow response of the Vietnamese side makes Shen Xin feel that there is something wrong here.

The officers didn't have that much in mind, and the opinion was, "The French warships have left Hong Kong, and they should be beating Vietnam now." ”

Shen Xin also knew that the French were definitely beating Vietnam, and if they hadn't beaten up, the Vietnamese side would not have been in such a hurry to buy weapons. It's just that in Shen Xin's position, he wants to know where the French beat Vietnam and what Vietnam has become. The more accurate the information, the more relaxed it will be to discuss.

Finally, the delegation once again clarified the discipline and tasks, and when the group contacted the Vietnamese officials in the future, they could tell the general situation of the Liberation Army, such as the occupation of Guangdong and half of Guangxi. However, the content related to industry was vague, and the specific details were rejected on the grounds that the soldiers of the Liberation Army did not participate in production. According to politeness, the Vietnamese side will not break the casserole and ask the end. If the Vietnamese side must ask questions, and if they don't answer, they will reach the point of tearing their faces, then they will all use the Guangfu Army to strengthen the traditional craftsmen, and form them into artisan battalions, and if they don't do a good job, they won't be given food.

During the exchange in Vietnam, the delegation asked how far the war had been fought between Vietnam and France. When introducing the battle in which the Liberation Army annihilated the French ** team, it should be said that the Guangfu Army overwhelmed the French ** team with a large number of artillery and rifles.

From the next day, the Liberation Army delegation split up and went in groups of three to meet with senior Vietnamese officials. Yin Xiaofeng was also assigned the task of visiting the ministers of the Nguyen Secret Academy.

Many years later, Yin Xiaofeng's personal memoirs described the meeting as follows: "This Vietnamese official surnamed Nguyen Nguyen had a straight face, and if the Manchu officials felt that they were superior, the Vietnamese officials wanted others to know that he was well aware of his superiority." In response to the French invasion, Vietnamese officials said that the Vietnamese army would definitely be able to drive the French out. Because at that time, there was gradually no discussion in the Liberation Army about the victory of the battle in advance, and the content of the discussion was the evaluation of the various combat elements of the troops, such as how many bullets a minute could be fired, and how much time it would take for the soldiers to cross a distance of 100 meters, 500 meters, and 2 kilometers. What should be done with a variety of targeted terrain. Except for the words of victory, we don't talk about anything else. At that time, I was still touched by his passionate attitude and serious tone. When I think back to my naivety at that time, I feel ashamed......"

After a visit, when the delegation summed up the information gathered, Yin Xiaofeng commented that "the Vietnamese have abundant confidence and courage." With the exception of this guy, who had no military experience, the officers of the Liberation Army had a low opinion of the military level of the Vietnamese.

"Just know how to blow!" This is the unanimous opinion of the officers.

Of course, there are further points of view, Zheng Zhongming said: "I am very worried that if the French seize the weapons we sold to the Vietnamese, will it strengthen the French." ”

The officers agreed that the mission was not just about selling 3,000 rifles, but the overall plan was to sell 30,000 rifles, as well as a large number of artillery. If the Vietnamese had lost the battle, they feared that these weapons would have fallen into the hands of the French. The use of these weapons by the French will certainly strengthen them.

Shen Xin did not immediately comment on such a pessimistic view, he asked a question rhetorically, "We have seen the captured French rifles, and the French rifles are better or worse than the ones we sold to the Vietnamese?" ”

"France has finally used steel pipes, which are much better than cast iron." The officers immediately gave their evaluation.

Shen Xin smiled: "If we are afraid that France will annex the whole of Vietnam, then there is no need. The French are no match for us. If the French hadn't annexed the whole of Vietnam, our rifles would have been a fight with the French's. It's not much worse. As long as the Vietnamese don't feel that the weapons we sell are inferior to the French, that's enough. ”

Since Shen Xin said so, everyone can accept it. It's just that the officers are obviously very uncomfortable that the side they are aiding cannot rely on these sophisticated weapons to win.
