Chapter 356: Loyal to the King or Patriotism?
"Brother Chunfu means, let's go to the New Tang Kingdom?" Huang Kuan and Huang Jiechen understood Yung Wing's meaning, that is, if the American Empire defeated the United States, it would not be completely defeated. Now New York is 80% owned by others. Then our group of people are Chinese, so are they still fleeing with foreigners?
"..." Huang Sheng didn't say anything, but he knew it from his expression. He didn't want to join the New Tang Dynasty.:.../
"Of course!" Yung Wing naturally saw the faces of his old classmate, but his answer was really decisive!
Before, Yung Wing was a little hesitant, but now he saw the reaction of his old classmates, and the current situation, the situation of these young children brought to him by New York, he did not hesitate!
"Chunfu! We came to this America from the Qing Dynasty thousands of miles away. What we are trying to do? What we are trying to learn from the strengths of the barbarians to control the barbarians? And we are not learning advanced Western technology? But now, if we join the New Tang Dynasty, how can we explain to the Lord Zhongtang? How can we explain to the emperor?" Huang Kuan's words were also talkative, and there was really a sense of righteousness.
When Yung Wing heard this, he sighed first, and then said, "Jiechen! How much hardship did we suffer this time? Will I experience less than you?"
This young child studying in the United States, just talking about this matter itself, from the Qing Dynasty, it is really a good thing. Really, this is a semi-government-sent-sent overseas study, and it is not something that ordinary people can come. But, the real family has a very good background, such as a scholarly family, and they don’t come.
This matter is really interesting. Because the scholarly family still wants to take the imperial examination path, everyone still thinks this is the right way. Therefore, this young child is really not as glamorous as he looks on the surface.
Needless to say, the journey is long and it takes only one year to go. There is no way. That empire occupied California, and then came to America, just this New York. It was really a father and mother who didn’t love you, and almost no one paid attention to you. It all depends on Yung Wing and the three of you who went to work together, and they also had to help others work to live.
It's bitter!
But why is it so hard?
When it comes to this, let’s talk about the beginning of the incident of studying in the United States, that is, during the Qing Dynasty, when he left, he had met Cixi, Li Hongzhang, and even Emperor Tongzhi!
Just imagine, these people have seen them. So isn’t the meaning of studying in the United States this time?
It’s for the Qing Dynasty! It’s for the Emperor!
For the sake of the Qing Dynasty and the emperor, I learned from the barbarians’ strengths and skills to control the barbarians!
Therefore, it is easy to understand why Huang Kuan and Huang Sheng disagreed. It can even be said that in Huang Kuan and Huang Sheng's eyes, Yung Wing at this time was an unfaithful and unrighteous person!
Not loyal to the emperor! Not moral!
But is Yung Wing really such a person?
"Brother Jiechen! Brother Pingfu! I agree with the two gentlemen very much. But why do I do this? Have you really never thought about why we have to go to Zhongna Jun? Do we have to do things for this Qing Dynasty? What are we doing? What are we doing? We endured these hardships, not to ask our people of the Qing Dynasty to be bullied by foreigners? Who are these people? Not for our great China? Therefore, the burden we bear is to revitalize and regain the power of the heavenly kingdom!"
Yung Wing was really emotional when he said this, because he was really disrespectful to his father. He was no longer aware of the Emperor of the Qing Dynasty. In the Qing Dynasty, he was going to be pulled out to be beheaded!
"..." Huang Kuan stopped talking, but his expression was obviously not completely convinced.
"But, although we don't have the salary of the Lord of the Eater, the travel fee this time was given by the Lord of the Central Hall!" Huang Sheng's statement was more affordable.
Yes, the money is used to do things for them, and it is really a problem if you put aside the affairs of some country.
"Two brothers! Listen to me!" Yung Wing's voice became louder, "Our great China has stood on the top of the world for thousands of years. He Zeng, the foreign barbarians, is now insulting our people? Cut my land? Force me to pay compensation? What is the reason? What is the final result? Isn't it the result of the foreign race Aisin Gioro, the foreign race, ruled us Han people? We are mostly Han people, but they are ruled by Manchus. Manchus are small. On the one hand, they are afraid of us Han people, and on the other hand, they have to deal with foreigners. Naturally, they are out of control. Today is just a situation, that's it! Therefore, if you want to restore the glory of our Chinese nobles in the past, you must change the court!"
"..." These words are simply ruthless. Fortunately, this is in the United States. If it were in the Qing Dynasty, the nine clans would be killed, and Huang Kuan and Huang Sheng would be scared and sweated coldly even though they were in the United States.
It's not their fault, the normal reaction is like conditioned reflexes.
"Brother Chunfu! Could it be that you want to rebel?" Huang Kuan asked.
"Rebellion? Haha, someone has already rebelled first! Didn't the emperor of the New Tang Dynasty just use the banner of expelling the Tartars and restoring China? When we were in our hometown, we heard too much? People rebelled first, and I just wanted to join us!"
Having said that, Yung Wing's idea was completely expressed. He just wanted to surrender to the Han emperor. Of course, the so-called surrender means not to escape.
However, there are still some problems here.
"I also know this, but when I arrived in the capital and the northern land, many people didn't know what the banner was. I don't even think that their recognition of China was high. Anyway, all the listeners were the Qing Dynasty..." Huang Kuan's statement actually revealed a lot of very critical things.
Although Li Mengyang did not regard overthrowing the Qing Dynasty as his current focus, he still did some work, such as promoting slogans and spreading some ideas... Anyway, it is either a positive impact, or some ideological things.
However, these things are not easy to pass on, and the progress is also very slow.
Why?
In fact, the current Qing Dynasty has not yet aroused the entire nationalist sentiment!
This nationalism is about modern nationalism. In fact, the establishment and promotion of this thinking are quite interesting. The formation of this trend of thought is not far from the current time.
The beginning of this trend of thought was actually in Europe. In the past, Europe was actually different from what many Chinese people thought. In the past, Europe was actually a big part!
Almost all Europeans agree with one thing, that is, religion, Catholicism, Orthodoxism, and this, and the emperors, dukes, counts and other emperors below are actually small lords.
If we look at it from a whole, Europe can be regarded as a country, a religious country, and a pope, but because there are regional problems, ethnic problems, and many problems, the lords need to annex the small lords, and the lords become old and die, the lands are scattered again. Anyway, it is quite a joyful thing.
At that time, even the concept of national borders did not exist...
But later, the industrial revolution and the bourgeoisie arose, and the first thing the bourgeoisie has to deal with is religion!
Because religion controls a large amount of land, a large amount of money, and even shackles the believers, these believers cannot become free workers. In other words, everything the bourgeoisie needs cannot be given to the Pope, so can the bourgeoisie not deal with the Pope?
So how do you oppose the Pope? How can you kill such a powerful character?
Who is uniting all the forces that can be united?
Those lords, who were later emperors and later kings, said that constitutional monarchy actually came about like this.
And all this requires one thing to be cultivated, which is modern nationalism!
In fact, this is a concept, a concept implanted by the bourgeoisie...
Li Mengyang knew this reason because he studied this, and the Qing Dynasty lacked such a thing now, that is, the modern nationalist trend has not yet appeared.
As mentioned earlier, the Qing Dynasty was doing well at this time, and the Chinese people thought they could make do with it. Until later, after the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895, many people had a broader horizon, so they realized that we had suffered so many crimes, but in fact they were bastards of the Qing rulers!
So, "Look Back" and "Warning the World Bell", and then "Exorcist the Tartars and restore China".
However, Li Mengyang's appearance at least awakened the modern national consciousness even earlier. However, the situation in the south is better, while the north is relatively worse. There is no way, most of the trading ports are in the south.
"Two brothers!" Yung Wing had already tried a lot to talk, and he made it clear. "This world is a virtue that is the one who has virtue! The Qing Dynasty has no morals, why should we run for them? In the end, I am afraid that nothing will be achieved! And now, the emperor of the New Tang Kingdom worked hard to govern and actually came here in just a few years. America is almost the other person's! Why are we hesitating? If I want to say that my China rises again, it will probably fall on him!"
"..." Huang Sheng and Huang Kuan could only nod at this time, as if that's the reason.
Children studying in the United States are all about 12 years old, and the number of these children is more than 20. They will follow Yung Wing and the other three to join the New Tang Empire. So what will happen in the future?
I don’t know what’s going on in the future now. Anyway, young children studying in the United States will not flee, but some people want to flee.
"Hey! Hey! You guys should be gentler! Be gentler!"
"I said, sir, we are not doing the meticulous work!"
Manhattan is already burning, and there is a group of people in the fleeing team that is very strange. There are not many people in this group, but they are covered in large packages.
