- After hesitating for a moment, Shang Keyi decided to give it a try, Shorthair's behavior has always been unexpected, maybe he can have a good result?

But Pang Yu just glanced at him with a smile, and a posture of "what do you say" made Shang Keyi angry. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info But the former didn't completely dispel his expectations, and after a while, he said leisurely:

"The weapons and equipment of our Qiong Navy have never been sold to the outside world before, and even the Ming Dynasty cannot get them. However, this practice has been broken not long ago...... The newly established Jinmen fleet of the Ming Dynasty, its first ship, the 'Great General', was equipped with the artillery and guns we provided. ”

"Therefore, our cooperation with the Ming Dynasty is deepening day by day, and at present, we can only provide metal tools and food cloth to the Dongjiang Army for the time being, because we are also doing the same to other military towns in the Ming Dynasty. The time of the Tianjin Sailor could only be regarded as a special case, but this situation may not be changed, and one day, the special case may become the norm -- but how to change it will require the joint efforts of all of us. ”

Speaking of this, Pang Yu patted Shang Keyi's shoulder and said with a smile:

"Maybe in the near future, it is also possible that the Dongjiang Army will become an example for other military towns in the Ming Dynasty in this regard-General Shang, it depends on your actions."

Pang Yu's words were a little obscure, and Shang Keyi was a little incomprehensible for a while. He hummed in agreement, but his eyes were spinning. After another moment, as if he had realized, his eyes gradually lit up.

…………

A few days later, the day finally came when the Qiong Navy officially withdrew from Lushun. Before this, there had been a large number of military ships going back and forth in and out of the port wharf, transporting immigrants and supplies, and on this day, with the last regular troops of the Qiong Navy boarding and evacuating, the wharf, which had been lively for half a year, suddenly became deserted and depressed.

"Whew...... I don't know when this place will be rejuvenated. ”

Standing at the bow of the boat, looking at the empty pier and trestle bridge, Xiao Lang couldn't help but sigh. He still remembers when he first landed here. At that time, Lushunkou was really desolate as a dead land, and even some people on the beach were wandering around like lonely ghosts one by one.

And now--these docks, trestles, and seaside camps have been renovated, and Xiao Lang had planned to do this since he landed. But after the First World War, he was seriously injured and could not serve. However, the successor Pang Yu is also an expert in engineering, and he still reorganized the place.

Some time ago, when a large number of immigrants came in and out, it was really bustling here, and it had the taste of those prosperous places in the south. At this moment, although Lushunkou is still empty and uninhabited, there is no such gray atmosphere as a dead city, just the feeling of people walking in the empty city.

But in Xiao Lang's eyes, he still inevitably felt frustrated - when he first arrived here, he planned to make a big difference. Later, although out of guilt, he agreed with Pang Yu's plan to withdraw the stall, but deep down, he couldn't let go of his concern for this land after all.

Pang Yu could fully understand his thoughts, and said with a smile when he heard this:

"Don't worry, we will definitely come back - the Ruhr area in the northeast is equivalent to the Ruhr area in Germany, and the Great Lakes region in the United States will be the most important industrial core area of our country in the future, and it will be much stronger than Hainan Island in terms of industrial resources, mineral output, and agricultural conditions."

"Then you still insist on giving up!"

Xiao Lang said unpleasantly, and Pang Yu shrugged:

"You know the reason - we don't have the strength to take this place yet. We occupy Hainan and Taiwan, and even if we occupy Luzon, it will only be an island, and once we clear out the enemy in a few strongholds on the island and blockade the naval fleet, the opponent will never be able to come back again. ”

"And the northeast side...... With the current force of more than 10,000 people in our three army regiments, even if all of them are sent to this white mountain and black water, I am afraid that we will not be able to destroy Houjin, right? Even if the opponent's main force is defeated in a battle and Shenyang and Liaoyang are captured, as long as those people drill into the old forest and restore their savage nature, we will have a good headache. ”

"What's more, once the Houjin is defeated, the Ming Dynasty will definitely demand to take back its homeland and restore its rule over the Northeast. Will we agree at that time? Agreed—we're a bunch of big fools, marrying people for nothing. And if we don't agree, it will be nothing more than replacing the position of Houjin, and the Ming Dynasty will definitely treat us as mortal enemies, and it is useless to give them more benefits. ”

"Is it necessary for us to see Ming Ming's face at that time?"

Xiao Lang said coldly, and Pang Yu smiled:

"Yes, if you occupy the northeast, you can only completely turn your face with the mainland. And since we have turned our faces, we have entered the customs and gone south, and the reunification of the whole of China has become the only feasible strategic choice -- it is estimated that the Showa staff officers also thought so at that time, and I believe that the comparison of strength between the Japanese Empire and the Republic of China at that time must have been far stronger than that of the Ming Dynasty -- but you and I both know the war situation between China and Japan later. ”

"With weapons and tactics that are ahead of our time, I'm sure we'll be able to capture the north and south capitals in three months, but what about after that?"

"Cut, you're really worried. If the people of the Ming Dynasty have this ability, how can the Qing Dynasty enter the Central Plains! ”

Xiao Lang said disdainfully, but Pang Yu looked at him with a serious face and shook his head again and again:

"No, no, no, old Xiao, I think you should understand this: although we are far superior to the people of this era in terms of technology, economy, and culture, we are not much better than them in terms of political means - and may even be worse."

"What the Manchus can do, we may not be able to do. If nothing else, can we use the means of slaughtering an entire city at every turn? In the Nanjing Massacre in later generations, Japan was nailed to the pillar of shame and could never get rid of it -- but what is a massacre of a similar scale in this era? On the 10th of Yangzhou, the famous Jiading Three Massacres were not mentioned, and there were still 4 million people in Sichuan at the end of the Ming Dynasty, and only 600,000 were left in the early Qing Dynasty...... The Manchu Qing Dynasty officially said that Zhang Xianzhong did it, do you believe it? ”

"Including the Ming Dynasty gentry you hate the most, the Jiangnan Confucians, the Qing Dynasty tamed them in history, relying on the most primitive elimination method: cut all the hard bones, and the rest are naturally obedient to the people. But what can we do about it? Say that when we come to this era, we have to do things in the way of this era, and then we can really slash and kill without scruples? ”

Looking at Xiao Lang's face, Pang Yu patted him on the shoulder again:

"Tell the truth, brother—even if you and I make up our minds, will the committee behind us, and the plenary meeting, give us that right? If we do do this, will they be relieved that you and I will continue to be in charge of the military? What would you think if you sat in the back of the people? How? ”

"'We did not come to this era to establish a steam engine version of the Qing Dynasty' - the old sentence still represents the thinking of most of us."

After Pang Yu finished his tirade, Xiao Lang's expression was a little sluggish, and after a while, he nodded slowly:

"It's true that I hadn't thought of it that deep before...... No wonder the people in your staff group have always refused to be happy, and they are tied to everything, because they have so many concerns. ”

Pang Yu smiled:

"The so-called 'emperor must do things that are not happy', since you want to enter the Central Plains, you have to take a long-term view."

"So, you're planning to take the Huairou route?" Xiao Lang also sneered, "As far as the landlord and gentry class at the end of the Ming Dynasty, do you still expect to rely on those people to establish New China?" ”

"Any progressive force arises in the old class - unless, as we do, suddenly through time and space."

Pang Yuman said indifferently:

"Those people are terrible: selfish, greedy, short-sighted, and stubborn...... But this is the reality of the late Ming Dynasty. Those people are part of China today, and they are the main part. Since we can't cut them off with a knife like 'I Daqing', we can only accept them and transform them. Cultivate and nurture the progressive forces in it, suppress and eliminate the backward parts...... But at this stage, when we do not have the class power of our own, we can only rely on the gentry class. And in the future, if we want to cultivate our own basic plates, we can only slowly dig into the wall of the Ming Dynasty and shape a new class from it......"

"Bourgeois or proletariat?"

Xiao Lang suddenly turned around and asked with a smile, while Pang Yu spread his hands and said calmly:

"It's all right, even the questions of our time that have not come to a final answer, why bother? Anyway, it's better than it is now. ”

"Okay, so one last question...... How long are you going to spend doing this? Decade? Twenty years? ”

Xiao Lang looked at Pang Yu with a hint of mockery, but the latter retorted more confidently:

"Even if it's fifty years, what about a hundred years? Brother, since we are here, we are already four hundred years ahead of the normal course of history! We know the course of history and the aspirations of the people in the future; We know what is right and what is wrong that history proves; We know which political systems will be accepted and which will eventually be discarded......"

"As long as we don't engage in crooked ways and don't try to use the advantages of science and technology and information to establish a dynasty of all generations...... For at least three or four hundred years, we, and the regime that inherited our ideas, will always stand at the forefront of the trend of the times. ”

"There may be repetitions, and there will certainly be a lot of unsatisfactory points, but so what—we're not in a hurry. As long as we are not in internal chaos, who else in this world can threaten us and interrupt our development process? ”

"- In this plane, we are the lighthouse!"

…… With the shrill whistle, the ship slowly started, hoisted its sails, and headed for the mainland across the strait. Pang Yu and Xiao Lang also stopped talking, and each stood at the bow of the boat, watching the land of Lushunkou that was gradually moving away.

"The next time we come back, it will mean that we are ready to build a new China."

Noticing that Xiao Lang's mood was still not high, Pang Yu said this, which was a relief to him. But the former remained silent, and after a moment he suddenly raised his arms, raised his thumbs high, and headed towards the land, as if the Terminator declared:

"Lao Tzu will come back...... I'llbeback!”
