In the evening, the wharf of Wuchang is very lively, the wharf is full of passengers who have just arrived in Wuchang, among the hundreds of passengers, there is a young scholar who is very conspicuous, he is wearing a green robe, his expression looks a little excited, and behind him are standing two servants.

"It's finally here!"

Walking into the hotel room, a smile appeared on the young man's face.

The room is not big, the facilities are very simple, only a desk and a bed, although so, but for young people who have been running around for days, this place is also quiet, just suitable for reading.

"Let's watch it again!"

As he spoke, the young man took out a book from his suitcase, and the words "Tessice" were written on it.

"Tang Ziran!"

Reading the name, the young man's face smiled.

"Let's visit him tomorrow!"

As the young man spoke, he opened the book and immersed himself in the book, running away from home five years ago, and traveling to ten provinces in the past five years, including as far as Xinjiang, but this "Tai Xice", which details all things in the West, has opened a window for him that he has never seen before.

The young man who was immersed in the book did not realize that time was flying, and the sky was slowly darkening, and while he was reading the book, he was writing something with his notes, sometimes frowning, sometimes raising his eyebrows, and the whole person was completely immersed in the many histories of Taixi.

“…… This Manchu Qing Dynasty's foreign affairs are not as good as the Ottoman Tanzimak's reforms, so how can they avoid the situation of "the sick man of East Asia"? ”

Putting down the "Tessice" in his hand, the young man muttered to himself on his lips, his brows furrowed even tighter, compared to other chapters, he repeatedly read the "Ottoman Chapter", "Russia Chapter" and "Japan Chapter", the future of the Three Kingdoms, although not named in the text, is still considerable.

Although the three countries have declined, there is no shortage of people with lofty ideals in their countries to promote national change, but what should the future of China be?

If it is someone else, you may not feel the difference, after all, the "success" of 20 years of foreign affairs is there, and the famous Beiyang Navy Division is famous in East Asia, but the young people who have traveled to more than ten provinces in northern China after five years of study tour know very well what is behind the foreign affairs, the country is still unchanged, and the neighbors of the East have already changed and reformed the whole country.

"Guangxing meeting, the decision is decided by the public!"

Thinking of Japan's "Five Oaths" 21 years ago, the young man's heart was shocked, and at the same time, his brows furrowed even tighter.

"Qing is the love of the new Luo clan with a racial view, how can it be decided by public opinion?"

How could a young man who had been studying in Beijing for half a year not know about the "Manchu and Han Dynasty Great Defense", thinking of this young man was a long sigh, and there seemed to be a trace of anger between his eyebrows when he sighed.

In the past five years, wherever he went, he saw only the decay and poverty of the country, but also the maladministration of the country. It is precisely because of this thought that his heart is constantly struggling.

At some point, the snowflakes had fallen.

Standing by the window, looking at the snowflakes outside, the young man's head was still thinking about these questions. In his head, countless thoughts struggled there, and a voice shouted in his head.

"If you don't change the law, China will perish, the monarch and the minister hold the racial view, and if you change the law, the Manchu Qing Dynasty will die, and if you don't oppose the Qing Dynasty, China will not be able to change the law......" Again, when this thought popped up in his mind, his expression became more and more solemn, but his eyes still had some struggle and hesitation.

Just then, he heard a suppressed scream of pain coming from outside the window.

"They think of silver, they want silver, they only have silver in their eyes, who of them really thought about banning smoking, they don't have it, they have never treated the people as the people, what can I do?"

When the voice was heard, the young man looked out of the window and saw a young man of his own age, or even much younger, standing in the middle of the road, roaring loudly.

Want silver? Smoking? Treat the people as nothing?

The roar of the man in the middle of the road seemed to be venting, so that the young man was stunned, if he said that he walked more than ten provinces, what else did he see, that is, the disaster of tobacco and poison in China, no smoking? Who is non-smoking? Just as the people in the road said, how can the government ban smoking for the sake of silver?

Could it be that he handed Zhang Du a no-smoking order? Thinking of this, the young man suddenly became curious, looking at his lost soul and placed in the snow, the young man hesitated for a moment, and whispered in his mouth.

"Why don't you go and have a look?"

There was a rustling sound of feet rustling on the snow, and the young man who walked out of the hotel could still hear the muttering of the man standing in the middle of the road as he walked towards the man in the middle of the road.

"I will bring a brighter future to this country, I will make this country rich and strong, I will change all the qiē, I will make up for it, I will definitely be able to make up for it......"

The young man was stunned by the "ambition" of the man in the road, and this young man was too ...... When he thinks of this, the young man thinks of himself, isn't it the same as his ordinary, as if he were the same? Thinking of this, the young man took a step forward and spoke.

"Brother Ren, since the wrong thing has been made, how can you make up for it?"

"I'm naturally ......"

The words on his lips stopped abruptly when he turned around, and Tang Haoran, who turned around, looked at the person behind him, the other party was a young man with thick eyebrows and big eyes, who was slightly older than himself, and the sadness and indignation on his face disappeared in an instant, and at the same time, he was wary of this person.

"In the lower Tan Sitong, the word is reborn, Hunan Liuyang people's family,"

What the? Tan!

The other party's introduction made Tang Haoran stunned, he, he is Tan Sitong!

Who has studied history doesn't know Tan Sitong's name and his song "I smile to the sky from the horizontal knife, go to keep the liver and gallbladder two Kunlun", staring at Tan Sitong, Tang Haoran didn't react for a while, the last time he heard his name, it was because his father took over as the governor of Hubei, and he was sick at the time, so he naturally had no chance to meet.

"This benevolent brother ......"

Seeing that the other party seemed to be a little surprised, Tan Sitong was all puzzled, did he know himself? Although he is still somewhat famous in Hunan, but in Hubei, at most, it is an old friend or close friend at home who knows it, although his father has just served as the governor of Hubei, but he has been away from home for five years, is this person also a person of officialdom, otherwise he will know himself?

Being shouted by Tan Sitong, Tang Haoran hurriedly saluted.

"In the lower Tang Haoran, the word is true! See ......"

"You are Tang Ziran!"

His eyes opened suddenly, and Tan Sitong looked at the young man in front of him who was a few years younger than himself, he was Tang Ziran.

"Tang Ziran who wrote "Tai Xice"!"

"It's just making a clumsy job to make Brother Tan laugh!"

"Brother Tang is modest, his brother's great talent, he admires the order, and the reason why he came to Wuchang is precisely to be able to ask Brother Tang for advice on Western affairs!"

After a cup of hot tea, looking at Tang Haoran opposite, Tan Sitong suddenly thought of the phrase "heroes have come out of teenagers since ancient times"! If before coming to Wuchang, he was more curious about it, but now, after the two of them talked for nearly an hour, then the only thing left was admiration, but what surprised him the most was that he was not only proficient in the West, but also extremely familiar with the national situation.

“…… Generally speaking, the present world is a world that believes in the law of the jungle, in which power is an axiom, and tens of millions of words of the public law of all nations can be wiped out with a single gun. ”

Putting down the teacup in his hand, Tang Haoran looked at Tan Sitong, who was fixedly distracted, and said.

"Brother Fusheng, so the current national situation is that the country is weak and bullying, and the country is weak and will be the meat of the great powers!"

"Then, Ziran, in your book, you have detailed that when countries grow from weak to strong, their diplomacy is used more vertically and horizontally in the country than on the battlefield, and if this is the case, if you use the art of vertical and horizontal, will you not be able to protect the interests of our dynasty?"

After making up his mind, Tan Sitong asked with some curiosity, in that "Tai Xice", when the countries are weak and strong, the use of vertical and horizontal techniques is the most attractive, especially the rise of Prussia is even more amazing, completely surrounded by various countries, but it can fight with all countries without the power of the alliance of the hostile countries.

"Hmmm......"

Tang Haoran smiled, and used a lot of pen and ink in "Tai Xice" to talk about the diplomatic strategies in the process of the rise of various countries, he just wanted to let those big players see the role of diplomacy, not just Li Hongzhang's "fight first and then concede", the so-called struggle is just a bluff fight.

"A strong country needs diplomacy, and he needs to use diplomacy to balance international relations and avoid hostile countries forming alliances, which are already unfavorable, and weak countries need diplomacy even more, because for weak countries, diplomacy is the only means for them to protect their own interests, but in comparison, is the current diplomacy of the country diplomacy diplomacy?"

Tang Haoran smiled coldly, at least until the Gengzi Change, the Manchu Qing Dynasty could not talk about diplomacy, and even was bullied by others for decades, and his understanding of Western countries was still limited to the surface, otherwise he would not have made jokes about "declaring war on the eleven countries" and "killing all the foreigners in China", the so-called diplomacy waited until others came to the door, and when they saw that they couldn't beat others, they panicked and mediated by the customs or the ministers of other countries, and then what? That is, to admit that he was beaten. After the last tiger skin was peeled off by the Japanese, "I Daqing" was completely reduced to meat on the board.

Tang Haoran's rhetorical question, so that Tan Sitong's heart sank, he thought of the "Oriental Addendum" in the "Tai Xice", what he heard and saw, it was indeed not to travel to Japan in person, but from Japanese students, diplomats, since the Japanese Restoration, the previous governments have paid the most attention to diplomacy, although its diplomats are not valued by other countries, but it enables Japan to travel between countries to show vertical and horizontal skills, clumsily imitate, learn Western modern diplomacy, and on the contrary, the diplomats sent by the dynasty have traveled abroad for more than ten years, and what they remember and write is just Western customs. It has no use for diplomacy.

"In Ziran's opinion, if the current dynasty wants to be strong, what should it do?"

After a long silence, Tan Sitong asked tentatively.

Putting down the teacup in his hand, Tang Haoran said to Tan Sitong's gaze.

"Brother Fusheng, do you know why the former brother is crying in the street?"
