This idea Zhu Jinglun never thought about. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Because this idea is too unbelievable no matter how you look at it.

Zhu Jinglun was a rational person, so he never considered taking Guangzhou City back.

But yesterday's scene made him feel that his thoughts were exactly the same as those of the Manchu rulers, that is, to wait for the British and French troops to withdraw themselves.

Zhu Jinglun knew even better than the Manchu rulers that the Anglo-French forces had no intention of ruling Guangzhou, and that after the treaty was signed, they would eventually withdraw their troops.

So Zhu Jinglun never thought that he would rely on his own strength to regain his own territory.

But yesterday he saw something, saw the numb countrymen, and saw the aggressor with a sense of superiority.

What is it?

Is there a strong contrast between ignorance and civilization?

In the past, Zhu Jinglun would definitely think so, everyone touched their conscience and asked themselves, do they think that the Chinese people in the Manchu era were ignorant, while the Westerners were civilized? At least that's what Zhu Jinglun himself thinks, which is the fundamental reason why he didn't sleep all night.

This made him break out in a cold sweat.

Are Westerners really civilized in this day and age? Burning, killing, and looting all over the world would be civilized. Why are the civilizational norms of the human world so reversed?

The perception of the human world is so cruel. That's right, they are civilized, not what they do, but because they are strong, they control the world economy, they control world opinion, and they control the minds of the world. Therefore, their burning, killing and looting are civilized, while the passive resistance of the Cantonese people is ignorant and does not know how to cooperate with civilization.

In the worldview dominated by Western civilization, only Western Europe in the 19th century, plus at most the United States, was a civilized world, while others such as the Chinese, the Japanese, the Indians, the Arabs, the Ottomans, and even the Russians were barbarians. But it was precisely these civilized people who invaded China, invaded Japan, invaded India, invaded Arab, invaded the Ottoman Empire, and it was precisely these civilized people who brought smoke, war and death to these ignorant countries and peoples.

Why is the world like this, why is it so absurd, because they control public opinion and turn all kinds of brainwashing upside down.

Zhu Jinglun once saw a survey conducted by an agency to test non-black races around the world, in which the Chinese test took out a thick album and selected beautiful models of white and black skin tones, and the result was that eighty percent of Chinese thought that white models of the same value were more beautiful!

Zhu Jinglun only felt that it was just a side effect of the Western film and television industry, because white beauties are always heroines, and blacks are always all kinds of unbearable images, so it caused other racial aesthetics to favor whites.

Zhu Jinglun has also heard some other problems, once a white friend went to China on a short business trip, only to meet fifteen Chinese beauties in a bar in just ten days, and when he came back, he told Zhu Jinglun that Chinese women are really easy to use, and wondered why newspapers always think that Chinese are very conservative.

This incident made Zhu Jinglun very embarrassed, because he knew that there are still countless hard-pressed single dogs in China who are eager for a girl to love for their whole lives, but there are a large number of beauties who can't move their legs just by seeing the skin of a white man.

But can this criticize women and scold them for worshipping foreigners? It doesn't make sense. Because men are equally unbearable, how many successful Chinese men will show off in front of their friends how many white beauties he has.

Some Chinese women love foreign men, and so do some Chinese men.

What is ingrained in their hearts is precisely a kind of discrimination, a subconscious that subconsciously treats Westerners as oil and other peoples.

The most terrible racial discrimination is often not that others are actually you, on the contrary, it is the most terrible to discriminate against yourself, in fact, the most discriminatory against Chinese is the Chinese themselves.

This phenomenon made Zhu Jinglun shudder, he didn't know how all this happened, and he only understood yesterday.

That is the national self-confidence of the Chinese, and the cultural pride is shot down into the abyss step by step. In addition, Westerners naturally have a kind of superiority arrogance, and this superiority arrogance continues to infiltrate China through various cultural media. Caucasians are always the protagonists, heroes, and saviors, blacks are always ruffians, and yellows even have to play a wolfdog. Over time, Caucasians have established an image of superiority.

But why can't other cultures around the world defend themselves?

Is it true that Western culture is superior to other cultures?

Culture, if you want to say that he has a potential energy difference, he has it, and if you want to say that he doesn't have it, he doesn't have it, sometimes it's a very idealistic thing. Is it true that a culture with high potential energy will always destroy a culture with low potential energy?

First of all, what is culture? Even experts have a hard time conclusing.

Dressing and eating is culture, drinking and playing cards is culture, cheating and abduction is culture, and courtesy, righteousness and shame are also culture.

What exactly is culture? Everything in life is culture.

It can be divided into two types, how to do and how to think.

How you eat, how you dress, how you live, how you walk, these are all cultures, but the latter is more important than how you think and how you think, and the latter is the fundamental factor that determines what kind of person a person is.

Westerners at this time considered themselves superior to others, God's chosen people, full of a sense of superiority, and had a sense of mission to spread the gospel to the whole world. It is really difficult for countries with insufficient cultural heritage to resist this kind of impact, and later the Philippines and South Korea, two countries with a population of tens of millions, have become Christian countries, and the number of churches in South Korea is more than that of European countries.

China and India have relied on the cultural heritage behind them to resist the invasion of Western culture, India is still very Indian, and China is still China. However, it has taken root in the national culture the virus of Western superiority, which is quietly and imperceptibly affecting the cultures of the two countries.

But now, India has become a British colony, and the people of the Qing Dynasty still maintain a sense of cultural pride, the British are coming, the French are coming, they can't beat the British, they can't beat the French, but in their hearts they think that the other party is a barbarian, and the other party is a barbarian.

This is a sense of superiority laid by thousands of years of cultural superiority, and later generations of Chinese with low self-esteem call this sense of superiority blind confidence, called ignorance sitting in the well and watching the sky, and mocking their ancestors. But is it really blind, for most of the thousands of years, the Chinese have been victors, even if they have fallen in just a few hundred years, they still assimilate the invading nomadic forces, this cultural advantage of thousands of years, and finally laid this sense of superiority, is it really blind?

Of course, the opposite of this sense of superiority is discrimination against other races, because for thousands of years, the Chinese have not been able to find a country close to themselves with lanterns, so the Chinese have no shame in saying it, "Either I am a barbarian."

At the same time, this concept has deeply affected the neighboring countries, North Korea, Japan, Vietnam and even the small country of Ryukyu have secretly encroached on themselves, secretly calling themselves China or Little China, which is exactly their heartfelt recognition of the word China or China, as if later Chinese generations will think that white people are more beautiful than black people, there is no reason, that's what they think.

Just as China once said to its neighboring countries that China is a civilization and they are barbarians, the neighboring countries secretly call themselves China and China, and this time the Europeans came, they said that they were an excellent nation, and the Chinese were inferior to the people, although they did not succeed in making the Chinese admit this, but they made the Chinese have a deep inferiority complex in their hearts, and they no longer have the courage of "either I am a barbarian in China", and they still sneer at those who shout this slogan, and they despise it very much.

Yesterday, Zhu Jinglun saw and saw that what he saw was a blow to the cultural superiority of the Chinese by Westerners, perhaps not a heavy blow, but this blow is too much, and no matter how deep China's cultural heritage is, it will one day be lost.

Why is that?

It is by no means that the Westerners talk about freedom, equality, and fraternity are more intelligent than the Chinese say benevolence, righteousness, courtesy, wisdom and faith, just as the Manchurian clothes with long robes and horse coats are not necessarily more beautiful and comfortable than the Han clothes with wide robes and large sleeves, and the reason is that Westerners are holding knives when they say it, but it is softer than keeping hair without head, yes, they say this is civilization.

The Westerners have struck China by force again and again, so they have proven their superiority time and time again.

But this can only prove that their military culture is stronger, but military culture happens to be the most vulnerable in China's last days, so China has been defeated again and again, and has been bullied again and again, experts and scholars may be able to distinguish the difference, but ordinary people can't tell it, they only see Westerners stepping on the heads of Chinese again and again, instinctively thinking that Westerners are stronger, instinctively want to learn and imitate, so instinctively accept the indoctrination of Westerners, and slowly feel that Westerners are superior nations, That's all.

Of course, military culture is a very important culture, which is undeniable, China was once strong, and the military family was already a professional academic faction as early as the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. However, since entering the age of firearms, Westerners have undergone military changes once in decades, so when they came to China, they defeated China with a stronger military culture, and at the same time used this theory to convince the Chinese that they were superior.

It's just that this process has just begun, and the One Raven War twenty years ago was one, but the scale was too small and the impact on the Chinese was too small. This war between the two crows is not large, but it is the second time, one can be said to be accidental, and two times is a bit far-fetched, so this blow to the Chinese is quite large.

And this is precisely the reason why Zhu Jinglun wants to retake the city of Guangzhou, because he did not regain his own territory, and in any case he could not convince the Chinese people that he had won, just as Japan was unwilling to admit that it was defeated by China in the War of Resistance Against Japan, and quite a number of Chinese also held this attitude, because when Japan was defeated, it still occupied most of China's territory.

Zhu Jinglun hoped to block the idea of Westerners using culture to invade the Chinese through force, and he felt that Guangzhou City could not be given up by the foreigners themselves, but should be taken back by his own hands.

But this is really difficult, twenty years ago there may have been an opportunity, when the British army was still a pre-modern army, the breech rifle did not have a big advantage over the strong bow and crossbow, and the advantage over the arquebus was not great, and there was even a situation in the war where the British army always relied on bayonet fighting to achieve victory.

But the current Anglo-French army, five years ago 250,000 British troops, 400,000 French troops have just fought with Russia for more than a year in the Crimean War, in this war they used railways, telegraphs, established a military medical system, and replaced smoothbore guns with rifled guns, and most importantly, through this war, Britain and France have improved their military systems and have the experience of mobilizing hundreds of thousands of troops for long-term combat, which is unprecedented in their history.

China, on the other hand, may not have had any revolutionary changes in its military system compared to hundreds or even thousands of years ago.

Using this kind of army to contend with the British and French forces, and wanting to recapture Guangzhou from them, is tantamount to a fantasy.

But Zhu Jinglun didn't think about this, he just thought that it was necessary to recapture Guangzhou, so it had to be done. As for the difficulties, there is always a solution.
