The Spring Festival in 1876 was very early, and February 9 was the Lantern Festival. Korean students studying at Wuhan Railway Institute took advantage of the last day of the school holiday to take the train to Nanjing to watch the Lantern Festival.

This group of Korean students ranged from their teens to their forties, all of whom were from the upper or upper classes of Goryeo, and they all believed that it was necessary for Goryeo to imitate China for a social revolution. A small number of people would like to carry out a thorough social revolution like Japan. The train from Wuhan to Nanjing also took more than a dozen hours to reach its destination, and these people also discussed the direction of the future of Goryeo on the train.

"Since the change of the Chongzhen era name to the Republic of China era name, Goryeo has not changed much. At the very least, we have to build the railway. Young Kim Ok-kyun talks about what he cares about most. As a subject country, there are many systems that subject countries should follow. Although Goryeo was forced to be a vassal to the Manchus, the era name has always been Chongzhen. It wasn't until Goryeo officially declared itself a vassal to the Min Dynasty that it changed its name to the era.

Another young student, Yu Yunzhong, agreed, "Trains and ships must be done, isn't that what I'm here to study?" It's just that I think China's farming technology needs to be studied hard. There are Siamese students at the Railway Institute, who say they make a lot of money every year by selling rice to China. ”

After arriving in China, the Korean students were really eye-opening, not to mention the railroad and ship telegraph office, the vast land, the endless fields, and the "incomparable farming technology", all of which shocked and awe-inspired. In their opinion, everything in China is worth learning from Goryeo.

Of course, there are also some contents that make these Korean students feel intimidated. Kim Yoon-sik, the oldest among the international students, is 41 years old this year, and he sighed: "It's just that the kingdom is too harsh on the gentry." The policy of state ownership of this land ......, alas, ......"

The powerful landlords of Goryeo, especially in the southern plains of Goryeo, held the power of the grassroots and greatly influenced the politics of Goryeo. In China, the Liberation Party has swept away this force with extremely strong means. It is unimaginable that such a huge country should not have a landlord gentry, and it is unimaginable for Korean students.

"But China can have today's achievements, I'm afraid it's because of the sweep away of the landlords and gentry, right?" The young Jin Yujun said with a little hesitation. These Goryeo elites also knew a lot about China, and before the establishment of the Min Dynasty, the Manchus were beaten to the brink by Europe. After the establishment of the Republic of China, China quickly beat Europe hard. Even if they didn't know it before, after arriving in China, they had seen a lot of propaganda, and the Manchu Qing Dynasty's loss of power and humiliation of the country was not mentioned. Since China can be strong and prosperous now, the system that wants to come to China has also played a role in fixing the sea.

But when it comes to this political system, it is difficult for the Koreans to continue to talk about it. If you want to be as powerful as China, you have to carry out a bloody and tragic revolution within Goryeo, and when you think of this, these students from the noble class of the gentry are completely unable to speak. What China does is China's business. If you do the same thing in Goryeo, you are digging up the foundation of these people.

After being silent for a while, the elder Kim Yoon-sik said: "I think we should learn China's technology first, and once the railway is passed, plus the telegraph, Goryeo can be said to be civilized." ”

This was supported by the students, and when the Goryeo army was defeated by the Hunan army, Goryeo still felt that the Chinese army was strong enough. But the Hunan army was as easy to wipe out as a three-year-old child faced an adult. For now, at least, it seems that Goryeo will not learn from the Chinese system, but from the Chinese technology. Not to mention that discussing China's system is a real torture for dignitaries.

As he spoke, several high-nosed and deep-eyed foreigners walked through the passage of the carriage. The European-style appearance of these people attracted the attention of Asian passengers, and almost all of them were looking at these foreign devils. But no one greeted them. These foreign devils are representatives of the International Workers' Federation, from the major industrial countries of Europe. After the economic crisis of '73, China's social system attracted some attention in Europe. People need to pay more attention to their own lives, and this trend has passed. The attention of the European upper echelons and intellectuals is continuous. The industrial countries of Europe wanted to be able to get the kind of means by which China could invest unlimitedly without triggering an economic crisis, and the International Workers' Federation was interested in China's system. Although the Constitution of the United States of America declares that the United States of America is a nation based on the happiness of Americans (men), this is also the case. China's constitution was the first law based on a clear class understanding, which was fully endorsed by European socialists.

The Koreans had no money, so they had to sit on hard seats. The internationally recognized federation also had little money, but the income of the major industrial countries of Europe was no less than that of China at this time, and they were able to charter a whole sleeping car. Of course, the train carriages of this era were also relatively short, and one sleeper car could only hold thirty people.

"There is really no aristocracy in China anymore, and I think it is more thorough than the French Revolution. In addition, China has indeed done what they say, and foreigners can travel freely in China as long as they abide by Chinese laws and do not spy on Chinese secrets. British representative Stuart said his thoughts.

The Europeans agreed with the results of this observation. There are only three types of trains in China: hard seats, hard sleepers, and soft sleepers, which are based on the morning and evening of the purchase to decide who can take different carriages. The price of soft sleepers is higher, and the clothes of people who take soft sleepers are slightly better, and those who take hard sleepers and hard seats, from the perspective of clothing, everyone is an ordinary worker.

Even this kind of thing can be sighed, and there is no way to do it. In Europe, trains are divided into upper, middle and lower classes, and the upper class carriages do not entertain inferior people, which has nothing to do with whether they have money or not. After the French Revolution was completely over, Europe once again fell into the hands of the aristocracy. These people, of course, do not know "history", not to talk about the USSR, the people from the lower strata became the leaders of the country, and that all got the mustache era. More than 140 years have passed since the French Revolution. In 1875, the only way for the lower classes to really mingle with the upper classes was the German army and British engineers in Europe. After the adoption of the staff headquarters system, Germany finally had a military academy for civilians, as well as a staff headquarters selection system that focused on inspection ability and was born secondary. Or for outstanding scientific performance, in the United Kingdom, the most industrialized country, it was recognized by the scientific community and finally awarded the Queen's Medal.

The Chinese People's Republic of China did not have this problem at all, and whether or not they could make achievements was a personal problem. But everyone's status and schooling are the same.

"Comrade Emperor Weizer! I would like to write at once to all the deputies of the Republic and let them see this glorious title. If there is anything that can be called holy in the kingship, it is the only Holy Spirit possible! Joseph, the representative of France, said very excitedly. The French Third Republic is still torn between an imperial and a republic, and a significant number of its members of Parliament are still undecided. The workers' union, of course, could not have supported the monarchy.

"Comrade Wei Ze, Emperor Weize, what does this have to do with the monarchy? At best, he was a consul for life in the Roman Republic, and it made no difference to change the title of emperor to president, prime minister, or whatever. Power is not obtained by hereditary, but by ability, and it will not continue by hereditary, this is no longer an imperial system. The German delegate Hohenheim had a deep understanding of the imperial system, and he could not help but refute the claims of his comrades.

Speaking of this topic, British representative Stuart said with a wry smile: "Recently, Britain is preparing to fully establish a civil service system, and there is a voice of opposition in the country, saying that this civil service system is completely copied from China's civil service system. This civil service would destroy the British Empire's long-standing aristocratic traditions, leaving all power ultimately in the hands of the children of workers and peasants who knew only to study for exams in order to climb the ladder. The government will eventually destroy the government by popularizing education. ”

"Haha!" The representatives of the workers' federation could not help but laugh out loud. Destroy the government? If the aristocracy is destroyed, it can only be a boost to society. If the Chinese system could be relied upon to completely destroy the society built by the collusion of European monarchs, aristocrats, and capitalists, these international workers' federations would not refuse in the slightest.

Just as the workers' UN representatives were visiting China to see how the republic, cloaked in imperial cloak was working, how it was developing. The British Empire's ambassador to China also took advantage of the Lantern Festival, a pagan holiday, to meet with the Chinese Emperor Wescher.

Regardless of whether the war will continue after the armistice, diplomacy will always continue. France and the Netherlands have resumed normal diplomatic relations with China, and the Netherlands has also signed a peace agreement with China, and the pressure on the whole of Europe to confront China has fallen on the British.

For the Republic of China, foreign invasions were only a matter of 1840 to 1856. For Weese, the invasion lasted from 1840 to 1951. After the end of the Korean War, China finally got rid of the possibility of a ground invasion by foreign enemies. Even so, for more than half a century, China will face threats from the sea. Now, this nightmare is finally over, and the enemy must first make a long journey to threaten China's core and then break through the numerous external island chains. At this time, the population of the United States was only 23 million. Even if there were large numbers of immigrants, there were no more than 30 million. The number of government troops does not exceed 100,000. In terms of population and military strength alone, the United States is not as strong as Japan. Naturally, there is no need to worry about what the United States and China are engaged in in hegemony.

The only problem is the British. In the negotiations with the British ambassador, Weeser said bluntly: "We are willing to respect the British territory and colonies, and we have no intention of annexing India." ”

With the exception of Burma, Weeser did not want to move on the British colonies for a short time. It is precisely because he has deeply experienced the painful feeling of China being held to the waist by other countries with guns in his waist, and Wei Ze knows very well that it is far better to hold the British colonies as hostages than to snatch them directly.

Besides, as far as the third brother's caste system is concerned, Wei Ze also feels that he is really powerless. When the third brother burned the widow according to the custom, the British authorities told the Indian locals that the custom of the British is that whoever burns the widow will hang the widow on the gallows. Therefore, the third brother continued to burn widows according to the custom, and the British also continued to hang widows. The custom of burning widows is disappearing at a breakneck pace in India.

Weeser felt that he really couldn't do it to the level of the British, and that the British should be in charge of the arduous task of managing India.

But the British ambassador did not believe it at all, and a few years ago the Chinese representative had said with a sincere face that he respected the Dutch East Indies. Now the Dutch East Indies have become five provinces of China. In addition to New Zealand and Australia, China has seized other large islands in the vicinity. The islands were once a barrier between China and New Zealand and Australia. Now China is separated from the two British colonies by a real water.

But there was no point in publicly blaming the Chinese emperor, and the British ambassador could only listen.
