Since ancient times, China has been for the emperor, the collapse of the country means the death of the family, almost no spared, even the Southern Tang Dynasty Li Houzhu kind of emperor will inevitably be given the fate of death, not to mention the Manchu Qing Dynasty, this heinous regime, it stands to reason that it will be liquidated, but the Beiyang government has shown unexpected leniency, not only did not clean up the Manchu elites, but gave preferential treatment to the royal family, giving them generous conditions for support.

Even after Qiao Yu took power, he didn't embarrass them too much, he just took the method of re-education through labor, and Pu Yi fled to Japan under the operation of the Japanese, and became a card in the hands of Japan, this time the Sino-Japanese war, China won the victory, he did not play a role, this card has undoubtedly been abolished, and now Pu Yi has been sent back by the Japanese, and Pu Yi can be dealt with according to treason.

However, considering that Pu Yi's actual harm was not great, on the contrary, his defection also gave Qiao Yu an excuse to clean up the old bureaucrats in Beiyang, so Pu Yi was pardoned and let him continue to undergo labor reform in Tianjin.

At first, these Japanese still felt that they were strange goods, but soon they found that Pu Yi's appeal was far less than they imagined, not only ordinary people, but even the old people in Beiyang and the bureaucrats in the former Qing Dynasty, no one was willing to be loyal to the last emperor anymore.

When the Sino-Japanese war broke out, the Japanese government remembered Pu Yi again, and wanted to continue to use him, but soon Japan was defeated, and Pu Yi was naturally left out in the cold, due to China's submarine warfare, Japan's food and materials were extremely short, Pu Yi was naturally very miserable, and for several months, he basically did not have enough to eat, could not wear warm, and was frightened.

This period of time down. Pu Yi's whole body was severely emaciated. With a big head, deep eye sockets, and two thin layers of skin left on the cheeks, like a skeleton, the old eunuch Wang Li, who fled with him, lacked food and clothing during his time in Japan, and died of early illness and hunger.

During his time in Japan, Pu Yi felt that the time spent working in Tianjin was the most real, and he grew and ate his own food every day. Although tired, but every day lying on the kang can fall asleep, no need to think about anything else, and the family is still around, enjoy the joy of family, although coarse tea and light rice. But there is an incomparable sweetness, the more aftertaste, the more longing, even Pu Yi thinks that this kind of good thing can only be recalled in dreams, but he didn't expect that there would be a day to return to China.

After washing away the lead and letting go of all his ambitions, Pu Yi willingly became a peasant, and the old regent Zaifeng had already been allocated a piece of land in Liaoning. It won't be long before the most prominent royal family in China in the past will be completely turned into mud legs facing the loess and facing the sky.

Tagore saw Pu Yi's situation. It was also extremely emotional and shocking, looking at the revolutions of all countries in the world. Either like the French Revolution and the October Revolution in Russia, the old imperial family was slaughtered, or like Britain and Japan, a constitutional monarchy was adopted, and the emperor still had a lot of power, and a country like China that could accommodate an old imperial family and completely abandon the worship of monarchy is really unique, and it is also unique in the world.

Tagore toured China for more than a month before finally leaving, in fact, the busiest part of this time was Chandra, who met with various dignitaries and sought the full support of China, and finally met with Defense Minister Wu Tong, who promised to provide him with 1,000 elite soldiers and promised to help him train them in guerrilla warfare.

At this time, the Chinese army was reorganized and redressed in a large area, and a considerable amount of old arms were replaced, and China also provided Chandra with a part of it at a very low price, and Wu Tong also told Chandra an important good news, that is, China and Japan were preparing to convene an Oriental Conference, the main content of which was to oppose colonialism and strive for complete independence in Asia.

China wanted to invite Chandra as a representative to participate in the Oriental Conference, and in this era, Russia was the most active in agitating the colonial revolution, and since the victory of the majority party in the Russian Revolution, it actively exported the revolution, and for this purpose it established the Third International, which became the anti-colonial tool of the royal family.

However, although Russia is actively promoting, it is still too far away from India, and the help it can provide is very limited, far less direct than that from China, and Chandra has also sniffed out a special meaning from it, if he can represent India to join this Eastern Conference, there is no doubt that he will improve his status and become a well-deserved leader of the faction, in other words, he will have the capital to compete with Gandhi.

It can also have greater appeal to India's domestic forces, and Chandra will never refuse this kind of thing that can not only earn money but also gain face, and he readily agrees.

Chandra and Tagore left Beijing together, sailed all the way south, and after arriving in Guangzhou, the two men parted ways, Tagore returned to India with the deep friendship of the Chinese people, with honorary titles of several Chinese universities, and Chandra went to Yunnan.

Most of the Indian soldiers captured in the Northern Burma Campaign were sent to the Jiangxinpo area to reclaim wasteland, and after several years of development, the Jiangxinpo area now has a population of 500,000, farmland is all over the place, and timber processing is also extremely prosperous, becoming the most economically active area in northern Burma.

And here is also a center of jade rough trading, Chinese call themselves the descendants of the dragon, there is a little Chinese and the legendary dragon is very similar, that is, jewelry jade, yellow and white things have a very serious preference, with the development of the economy, Chinese gradually have a little surplus money in their pockets, in addition to saving, many people are also willing to buy some family foundation, whether it is marriage or for heirlooms are good things.

As the world's most important source of jadeite, Myanmar's annual export of jadeite to China has increased exponentially, and the main trading point of these jadeite rough stones is Myitkyina, and China has even built a feeder railway to connect to Kunming in order to transport them.

The smooth development of northern Myanmar is inseparable from the contribution of tens of thousands of Indian prisoners, and now, in accordance with the instructions of the Ministry of Defense, the most elite 1,000 people have been selected from this group of prisoners and handed over to Chandra, most of whom have experienced the test of World War I and can be called the elite of the elite.

In this way, there is no doubt that a chess piece has been subdued, when will China want to launch. can be activated. Tagore's return with honor was also welcomed by India's upper-class celebrities, whether it was the colonial government or India's Congress Party, they all gave Tagore high honors.

However, Tagore didn't care much about this, and he deeply felt the differences between the two ancient civilizations during his more than a month in China. He was eager to write out his thoughts, perhaps to point out the aspects of India, which was in the midst of a state of confusion.

China is India's largest neighbor, and the two countries are both familiar and strange. Over the past hundred years, most of the descriptions we have received about China have come from the British, a barbaric and backward country. Filled with opium addicts and women with small feet, this country, despite its glorious history, has completely sunk like the afterglow of the sunset!

But I would say that this view is completely wrong, after the revolution, China is undergoing earth-shaking changes, and not long before I arrived in China, the Chinese were relying on their own strength to win against Japan, the world's third largest naval power. Outside the Port of Shanghai. The wreck of Japan's largest warship, the Kaga, rests there.

The Kaga is even more majestic than the Taj Mahal and is undoubtedly the most powerful weapon in the world. But he parked in a dilapidated Chinese port for the Chinese people to see, and soon the warship would be transformed into a Chinese naval museum, which will undoubtedly demonstrate the strength of China's military at all times.

We must realize that China has undergone earth-shaking changes and become a strong country again, and I would also say that this is just the beginning, and that Chinese society is pregnant with a more powerful driving force for development, which is the most important thing, although China and India are both ancient countries, but unlike Indians, China's religious consciousness is very weak, although there are various religions in China, but there are very few devout believers, and even when they worship the gods, there is also a utilitarian heart.

Although it seems strange, there is no doubt that this also allows the Chinese to choose the most beneficial path for enhancing their national strength without being bound by any conditions, and in this regard, the Chinese have become very realistic, but this reality may be the reason for China's rapid prosperity.

In addition, the most amazing thing is the great openness of Chinese society, a thousand years ago China determined the system of selecting officials by examination, which is also the predecessor of the modern civil service system, under this system, China chooses officials not by blood, nor by wealth, not by religious status, but by virtue of personal ability, under this system, Chinese society has great vitality, and every scholar is expected to pass the examination to become an official.

Of course, at this time it was only limited to the official class, and now Chinese society is more open, all classes have a lot of mobility, almost every Chinese has their own ambitions, there is a coachman who is trying to save up, the next step is to buy a truck, and I may be his last guest, he will not be satisfied with only owning a truck, he is also ready to develop into a transportation company.

In addition, I was fortunate to meet the opening celebration of a teahouse in Beijing, which is a decades-old shop, the owner has successfully owned the first branch, and then he hopes to open the branch all over the country, even in Europe and the United States, and I have also met young people who are just starting out of politics, college students who are preparing to leave school, and farmers who have come all the way from their hometowns to work in the cities.

Although their identities are very different, they all have strong ambitions, they all have their own plans, they are eager to constantly change their fate, and no one is ashamed and humble for the work they do, they can face anyone with extreme self-esteem and confidence, their current work is only the basis for them to move towards a better future, as long as they are well prepared, they can change their status at any time, from laborers to businessmen, from students to officials, from farmers to factory owners, everything falls into place.

In contrast, India and China under the caste system are completely different, and everyone determines the future almost from birth, which is why Indian society seems dead! (To be continued.) )
