Chapter Ninety-Six: Tianxingjian
Yuan Shikai was in a hurry, raised his legs and jumped out of the carriage, and said angrily: "Absolutely not!" As an ambassador to the imperial court, Yuan's duty is that he must not return to the country without authorization. Your kindness is well understood, and this is ....... ”
He can't help but be anxious! Leaving Seoul is excusable, as long as others are in North Korea, how can they get a reputation for not being afraid of danger and persisting in the future. But if you run back without Li Hongzhang's permission, it will be a big sin! It's inevitable that you get rid of the errand, and it's not surprising to be convicted and go to prison!
It's just that he thought about how Yang Hao was going to pit him, and before he finished shouting, Xu Yanzhuo interrupted sharply: "Lord Yuan is exhausted, tired and tired, but it is not easy to rest." Come on, help Lord Yuan get an injection and let him sleep well. ”
Two soldiers pounced on Yuan Shikai's arm, a medical soldier took out the syringe with a smile, and in Yuan Shikai's angry scolding, he steadily injected the medicine inside, and finally patted him on the shoulder and said, "Don't be nervous, this is a good thing." When you wake up, keep it refreshed. ”
This tube of modern sedatives has just the effect for people who basically had no tolerance in the Qing Dynasty. Yuan Shikai felt lightheaded, a faint light from the fog cover of the clouds and mountains rushed to his face, his tense body was uncontrollable, and he was paused softly, and was picked up by two soldiers and put back in the car.
The people next to him were scared by the shiny and cold needle! People in these years are no less in awe of the myths of Western medicine and Western medicine than the gods and witches, and they feel that they are so thick that they may get something into their bodies. Especially Yuan Shikai fell in response, this medicinal effect, the feelings are better than that god's merits, if you give yourself a ...... Forget it, we little people, we are not blessed!
Xu Yanzhuo saw that the threat of a needle was not much worse than killing a few people, and the more he hated the ignorance of his compatriots, the more determined he was to change this belief. Seeing that no one dared to oppose anymore, those who had been shouting and running away without strength were also in good spirits, keeping up with the large army, not daring to make any movement, and marching towards the river.
Yang Hao got off the horse, walked side by side with him, looked at his gloomy face, and laughed in a low voice: "Don't worry too much. The people's character is not cultivated overnight. From the end of the Ming Dynasty, the open-mindedness of the people, the strong intellectual curiosity of the people, and the tolerance and willingness to learn new scholarship were generally there. Today's closed and ignorant, self-righteous, in fact pedantic and insensitive, it took the Manchu Qing 250 years to change. What we need to do now is to change the habits of thousands of years, and that is by no means a task that can be accomplished by one generation. ”
Xu Yanzhuo nodded solemnly: "In order to suppress the spirit of Chinese culture, the Qing court did not hesitate to spend a hundred years to revise the history of the Ming Dynasty, spent one hundred and fifty years searching the world, destroyed countless books, and distorted and tampered with Chinese history for thousands of years in the name of repairing the "Four Libraries of the Whole Book", causing endless harm. That is not only a closed mind, but also makes people of all walks of life in the world lose their tolerance and inclusiveness, lose their heart of unremitting self-improvement, lose their heart of being new day by day, stubbornly stick to the old ways, and are short-sighted...... Alas, I have a long way to go! ”
He said heavily, but his eyes gradually became firmer, and his fighting spirit overflowed all over his body, becoming more and more high. If there is no unprecedented hardship, how can we reflect the great perseverance of the past and the present?
Yang Hao saw it in his eyes and admired it very much. In this generation, and in the century to come, the Chinese have continued to grope in the dark, advance through thorns, struggle in encirclement, pursuit, and interception, and struggle in hardships and hardships. Generation after generation of outstanding young people have shed blood and sacrificed for the future of the entire country and nation.
It is precisely because of this firm belief that they seem incomparably great. Later, those juniors who enjoyed peace and fruits in peace, but they were full of food and drink, and they couldn't freeze, stayed in the air-conditioned room, touched the keyboard with ten fingers, and wantonly accused and slandered the ancestors and martyrs, suspected attacks, and talked nonsense, I really don't know if they will regret it.
Yang Hao has never been one of those people, which has a lot to do with his background and family education since childhood. But even so, in the past, it was difficult for him to understand the motivation of the older generation to remember the bittersweet memories. When he came to the second plane, he personally felt the helplessness, crisis, and pressure of the whole world turning into a pool of stagnant water, and countless demons and monsters around him were sharpening their knives and preparing to slaughter.
He began to come to his senses.
Aspiration is like enlightenment, and that kind of radical change in thinking and behavior is by no means understandable to others. In the same way, a person who has set great ambitions and practiced them physically, he will naturally be able to transcend the crowd, find comrades in the crowd, and work together to move forward, even if he dies without regret.
Yuan Shikai was put down, and none of the stunned Qing who dared to jump out and stab the stabbing were gone, and under the threat of knives, guns and death, everyone ran forward. Even if the sweat is like rain, even if you stumble, stumble, and gasp like a dead dog on a dog day, you don't dare to complain.
Yang Hao once again deeply understood how a nation that had lost its spirit of resistance was killed by a very small number of jackals as light as sheep.
Throughout history, massacres and deaths of hundreds of millions of people have often been caused by less than 1 percent of their forces. Such a huge group, even if only one in a thousand people stood up and fought side by side, there would not be such a tragic tragedy.
What is the reason for this qiē?
Some people blame Confucian culture, and some simply say that Chinese culture is the bane. But if this is really the case, then "those who commit crimes against strong men will be punished even if they are far away", but it appeared after "deposing the hundred schools of thought and respecting Confucianism alone". "The Tang Dynasty is prosperous, and all countries are coming to the dynasty", which is also the time when the Han culture is strong, and the civilization is spread far and wide.
There are also people who have bad intentions and boil it down to the invasion of the barbarian peoples "bloodline improvement, wolf nature injection", it's just fucking fart! If you flip through the history books, you can see how those barbaric steppe peoples aspired to become "Chinese" during the Sui and Tang dynasties?
That is the power of culture and the glory of Chinese civilization!
In the more than 1,000 years of change, the reason why we have come to such a low point step by step is not the sin of Chinese culture. However, it is the descendants who distort the original intention of the sages, constantly amplify their own desires, start from their own physiological needs, and then expand to every corner of the human world. The common appeal pushes and leads to the great decay and destruction of the whole.
This is not a matter for China alone. With the rapid development of material civilization and the wanton indulgence and expansion of human desires, the whole world is trending towards more wars, contentions, sufferings and disasters.
Until one day, all mankind came to the brink of collective annihilation, but because of the appearance of the atomic bomb, they had to rein in the precipice to prevent the end of the whole world.
This is a constantly changing curve of human spiritual civilization and material civilization. The two hundred years before the arrival of the 20 th century were the intersection of spiritual civilization reaching a low point and material civilization climbing to its peak. In the 21st century, the two began to take a new direction, and finally formed a new balance over a long period of hundreds or thousands of years.
At that time, it was the prosperous era of Datong expected by the ancients, the peaceful world, communism-industry-ism, the bright country, and the heavenly world .......
Anyway, thousands of years ago, Lao Tzu, Confucius, Shakyamuni, Jesus, Allah, and other great sages expected a beautiful world.
And before that, at this moment, they were deeply worried, and had already prophesied that there would be a time of the end of the law.
This kind of thinking spans thousands of years, takes the century as the scale, spans the past and the present, and regards the change of dynasty as the great wisdom, big vision, and boldness of the four seasons, and the Chinese, if not unique, must be undoubtedly the first in the world.
There are fewer and fewer people with such a mind over the millennium.
During the Tang Dynasty, from the court to the people, there was such a heroic self-confidence in the chest, so it could shake the past and the present. Later, for more than a thousand years, the upper-class scholars were busy fighting for power and profit. The lower classes of the people struggled hard, from their minds to their bodies, and they were imprisoned between inches of land.
Moreover, as the Manchu Qing Dynasty carried forward the centralization of power and the rule of the foolish people, this spiritual atmosphere completely dissolved and annihilated. As a result, the sluggishness and ignorance of the entire nation have been raised.
The bleakness of Chinese civilization is not caused by one generation. In the same way, her revitalization and brilliance also need generations and dozens of generations to struggle.
Tianxingjian, a gentleman strives for self-improvement. The terrain is good, and the gentleman carries things with virtue.
It is to re-inject this spirit that has been inherited and practiced by the great wise people since ancient times in the hearts of the whole nation, and cast the glory of the entire civilization again with the power of hundreds of millions of enlightened people!
Great oaks from little acorns grow.. As soon as qiē begins, it starts from the moment in front of you, pushing the rotation of the gears of history.
