3. On the situation in the world
Shi Sizhong knew that these Taiping troops rebelled back then, but there were still many shadows in his heart. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info The millions of troops of the Taiping army failed to overthrow the Manchu government, how can they currently tens of thousands of people overthrow the Manchu government? Therefore, they also think that they have no confidence, so it is very difficult to convince them to oppose the Qing if they do not dispel their doubts. However, as long as their doubts are dispelled, they can also be truly willing to oppose the Qing Dynasty, and even support the Qing Dynasty, so that Shi Sizhong's plan can be realized.
"Old man Wang, do you know? If we miss this opportunity to oppose the Qing Dynasty, then we may not know how many years it will take if we want to oppose the Qing Dynasty in the future! Back then, you were against the Qing Dynasty, it was the right time, plus the location was not available, and the people were not even had, so I think you were the reason for your failure back then. But now it's different, now is a good time to oppose the Qing Dynasty! As long as we can seize this opportunity, then we are much better than in the past! Shi Sizhong said.
"Oh? How? Old Man Wang asked.
Shi Sizhong hurriedly explained: "Actually, it's very simple, first of all, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom uprising in the past, the time is not right!" At that time, the international situation was not chaotic, and the Western powers had many interests in China, so they did not want the Manchu government to be overthrown, so that their interests could be safeguarded. And the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom will not protect the interests of the Westerners, so they chose to support the Manchus against you, which constitutes one of the reasons for your defeat! ”
"But now it's different, and now there's a-stirring stick in Europe, the Germans. The Germans are rising in the gap between Britain, France and Russia, and after they rise, they will definitely compete with Britain, France and Russia for territory and interests, so the primary opponents of European countries are the Germans, and they cannot spare energy to suppress the rise of China. Therefore, in the future, there will inevitably be a big war between Germany and those old countries, and their competition will involve a lot of energy, and they will not be able to exert influence on China. In this way, when we oppose the Qing Dynasty, the Manchus will not be able to gain support, and they will naturally be unlucky. This is also the time of heaven, a very important time of heaven, unlike in the past, when Western Westerners supported the Manchus together, and the Taiping army had no one to support it, so it is normal for them to fail. ”
After hearing this, Old Man Wang couldn't help but pat his thigh and said, "Why didn't I think of it? ”
"Also, Mr. Wang, second, the geographical advantage. You all have the geographical advantages, so we won't mention this. But people and aspects, people and aspects you have an absolute advantage. Although you have an army of millions, but your millions of big things are dominated by a group of rabble, right? And you rely on the so-called religion of the worship of God, which is obviously the religion of Westerners, and the local gentry of this religion do not support it! Moreover, the one of yours deprived the gentry of their land will naturally make those gentry hate you to the core, and will not support you, but will help the Manchus to fight you. At that time, the country was very disgusted with the West, so naturally they would not like people like you who use Western religion to rebel. The people are also more supportive of you, and those who are really capable are from those gentry families, so naturally they will not support you. Therefore, you don't have enough talent, so it is inevitable that you will fail. ”
"But now it's different, and now the Manchu government has implemented the Westernization Movement. The Westernization Movement was their own death, and then they gradually opened the door to let people in China study abroad. After studying abroad, I came into contact with a lot of things from foreigners, and the coastal areas have gradually opened up a lot. It is much easier for the people to accept the things of foreigners, so that even if they use foreigner things again, there will be no Thai and rejection. This is people, those who study abroad will definitely be very dissatisfied with the Manchus, and naturally we can win them over. In this way, we are not afraid that there will be no talent to win over, and when the time comes, we will have talent, so that we can be regarded as a stable establishment of political power, so that we can have a steady stream of talent support, and then seize the world, isn't it good? ”
"As for the geographical advantage, this is also very simple. We can develop in foreign countries now, and the Manchus can't influence us, I can rest assured that we can boldly accumulate strength, and when the strength is enough, we will fight back again, so as to liberate the tens of thousands of compatriots who were enslaved by the Manchus, and then we will all be heroes. We're overseas, which is our biggest geographical advantage, so I don't have to worry about anything. And we're in Chile, and there's saltpeter in Chile. Saltpeter is made. One of the most important materials for gunpowder. So we will not lack saltpeter, and at that time it will be easy for us to make firearms, and when the time comes, our firearms will be able to sweep the world, and it will not be very easy for us to take the world? ”
Hearing Shi Sizhong's explanations one by one, this old man Wang suddenly felt excited, this is simply too good. If it is really as Shi Sizhong said, then wouldn't it be that the right time, place, and people are all occupied, so why can't it succeed?
With such a favorable time, place and people occupying, what else can't be successful? Therefore, this old man Wang is also very tempted in his heart. If you can really be in your lifetime, or even dare not expect to be in your lifetime, as long as you can be buried on the land of your motherland after your death, you can be satisfied. As an old man who has been adrift in a foreign country for more than 20 years, what he hopes most is to return to his homeland, so that's fine. Even, the old brothers who came with him back then actually thought the same way.
Some of those old brothers have passed away, but they have not been able to return to their motherland, and they have all died in other places. So this old man Wang is worried that he will have such a day, and even many of the Taiping troops who were sold together back then are also like this, so they are also very worried.
But now Shi Sizhong gave them a life-saving straw, making them seem to want to grasp this life-saving straw.
"Okay, you say, what should we do? I will listen to you in the future, as long as you can let me return to the land of the motherland again in my lifetime, then my old bones will also listen to you, and I will fight with you once! Even if I can't return to my true hometown Hunan, as long as I return to the territory of our motherland, I will be satisfied, and I will fight with you this time. Old Man Wang finally shouted.
