"You kneel down for me..." Graybeard kicked him hard behind him. Now that he was so strong, Xiao Letian knelt on the ground.

"You little brat, you have killed so many of our brothers. Just chopping your head will be our king... Our leader, Bodhisattva, remember, you have to hide from me in the next life." After saying that, the steel knife that killed countless people was raised high, and the next second was Xiao Letian's end.

Xiao Letian also took the initiative at this time. He stared at Shi Dakai with round eyes. "You will regret it if you kill me, because I am the only person who knows the reason for the failure of your heaven kingdom, and I am also the only person who knows how to overthrow the Qing Dynasty..." Xiao Letian completely took the initiative at this time, because he knew that if he didn't use this killer move, his fate would definitely die. Xiao Letian almost roared with all his strength.

"If you kill me, no one will be able to solve your doubts, and the confusion in your heart will never be answered..."

"Slow!" Shi Dakai was overwhelmed by Xiao Letian's aura. He never expected that this young man's tone would be so arrogant. He updated the first time that millions of capable people in the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom could not find the reason for the failure. Can you figure it out with a second Japanese? Wait, the second Japanese? The stones in the mountains can attack jade. Maybe he has really something to do with his stomach.

After the news of the capture of the capital that day came, Shi Dakai also fell into deep confusion. He didn't know where the Kingdom of Heaven was wrong? Is it wrong to overthrow the regime of the Qing Dynasty? Is it wrong to overturn the slave owners who were riding the necks of Han people all over the world? Is it still unpopular to abolish the unequal treaties with foreigners?

Yes, Shi Dakai also knew that the internal struggle was open and secret, and internal friction was extremely serious. But all the crimes of career failure were pushed to internal struggle? Shi Dakai felt that this reason was a bit insufficient, but what was missing? He couldn't figure it out. Update it as soon as possible

For countless nights, Shi Dakai sat in a dry lamp for a night. He racked his brains to recall the 11-year history of the rise and fall of the Kingdom of Heaven. He wanted to find the key to the problem but couldn't find the answer. Sometimes he searched through history books and classics left by saints, trying to find the crux of the subtle meanings, but the saints thousands of years ago seemed helpless in the current confusing world.

Explore, fail, explore again, fail again... Shi Dakai's emotions have reached the verge of collapse. Until just now, this young man who claimed to be an overseas orphan actually said that he knew the answer to the question?

Shi Dakai grabbed Xiao Letian's collar and said, "Young man, I advise you not to play with fire. If you can't say anything and just want to delay time, then what is waiting for you is not beheading your head, and it is light to cut into pieces..."

Xiao Letian took a few deep breaths. He knew that he had mastered the rhythm of negotiations and had cut a wound to Shi Dakai's closed heart. Xiao Letian did not care whether the wound was bloody or not, he just wanted to save the lives of the 100-member person in the mountain temple.

Xiao Letian said fiercely, "If you let the people in the mountain temple go, they are not your enemies, otherwise I would not have revealed a word to you..."

"Haha, if you want those lives, it depends on whether the answer you gave me is valuable. Don't worry, I, Shi Dakai, stand up and down, and the title of King Yi is not for nothing, and I can't deceive you..."

Xiao Letian rubbed his wrists that were bound to hurt and said coldly, "I believe you once. Time is tight. I don't have time to circle you. With the prince's knowledge, you also know that overthrowing the Qing Dynasty is an extremely difficult task. If I just tell you two strategies to overthrowing the Qing Dynasty, I guess you won't believe it..."

"Let me do this, I can only discuss this issue from the areas you are not familiar with. Although it is just the tip of the iceberg of the problem, it can also allow you to explore ideas..."

Xiao Letian pondered for a long time, organized the language carefully, picked up a branch and started to draw a map on the sand. For more and faster chapters, please come. "This is Britain, France, this is the European continent, as well as Africa, India and China..."

Xiao Letian began to talk about the Second Opium War, from the Yaro incident, the Ma incident to the Battle of Baliqiao and the burning of the Old Summer Palace. Here, Xiao Letian did not simply review the entire incident, but analyzed the interests of Western countries behind the war clearly.

"After the First Opium War, the war when Lin Zexu removed cigarettes in Humen, the British ceded Hong Kong Island and forced the Qing Dynasty to open up. The five trading ports of Guangzhou, Xiamen, Fuzhou, Ningbo and Shanghai were officially infiltrated, but this was far from enough what they wanted was that the entire Qing Dynasty would open its doors..."

Originally, when the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom was at its worst, foreigners hoped to get more trade rights from Tianjing City, but they never expected that Hong Xiuquan's group of people had more xenophobia, and they even unilaterally declared that the treaty between the Qing Dynasty and the foreigners was invalid. They also provoked the Shanghai Xiaodao Society Rebellion.

It was from that moment that the foreigners completely gave up the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom and began to try to support the Qing Dynasty. Unfortunately, although the Qing Dynasty lost the first Opium War, they seemed to have not been beaten to death. They still stubbornly believed that they were the country of the Heavenly Kingdom.

Since the Qing Dynasty was not enlightened, it could only use military power. Therefore, war seemed a bit accidental, but it was full of necessity.

The Qing government lost, and lost completely. From that day on, China's door was completely opened. Western forces began to invade the inland in an all-round way. Their goods would penetrate into the interior along the long coastline and countless inland rivers. The cheap industrial products of their country could be sold at a sky-high price in China. In the long run, China would become weaker and weaker, while the West would become stronger and stronger.

"This is what they want, and they have already done it. To put it bluntly, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom in a sense has stimulated Western business adventures... Wing King, don't dislike listening. If China used to be a fat person, then China, which has experienced 11 years of civil war, is a fat man with blood flowing more than his energy and severe injuries..."

"I understand the prince's mood. It's bad to be honest, and bullying Chinese foreigners. Everyone wants to make China prosperous and strong, but you are wrong because you know nothing about the outside world. Maybe there is a possibility, I mean a hypothesis. If you were willing to open your eyes to see the world, maybe nothing will happen at the moment..."

Yes, it is a mentality to open your eyes to see the world, and it is also a mentality that a weak nation must have if it wants to become prosperous and strong. At this point, Japan, the island country on the sea, did much better than the Qing Dynasty.

In the eyes of the Qing government and the head of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, Westerners were all the same kind of demons, such as Britain, France, and Italy, and there was no difference between the Rakshasa ghosts from the north and the British ghosts from the sea.

They don’t know that Britain and France had fought a Hundred Years’ War, nor do they know that Prussia and Germany are now ambitious to establish a brand new empire, as well as Russia and Britain and France fought the Crimean War, and they don’t know that the Russians in the north turned their attention to the East because they were defeated in Crimea.

Xiao Letian is now like a teacher who enlightens primary school students, and he is almost teaching them step by step. From the general appearance of the earth, the composition of Western powers, and the grudges and entanglements between them, he instilled Shi Dakai and Gray Beard little by little.

At the end, even the rude man, Graybeard, slapped his thigh, "Oh, it turns out that there are so many twists and turns among foreigners? They are even more ruthless than us?"

This sentence is justified. At that time, old capitalist countries such as Britain and France had not completed their global colonization plan, while emerging capitalist countries were desperately fighting for the remaining leftovers, and the contradictions between them were accumulating more and more.

According to Xiao Letian's explanation, the time and degree of industrialization in Western countries are different. There are actually only a few countries that can span half of the earth and deploy troops. Britain, France and the United States, as for other countries, at most, they can send merchant ships to do some small business, and it is impossible to rely on a war with the Qing Dynasty.

The star countries of the Great Age of Discovery, such as the Netherlands, Spain, and Portugal, had fallen in that era, and were only struggling to survive in a limited number of colonies.

"Now you understand, right? If your kingdom of heaven could have actively established contact with external countries, especially the United States and the Prussian Kingdom, including the declining Spain, Portugal, and the Netherlands... first establish a trade relationship with them, and if possible, then establish diplomatic relations with each other. The kingdom is to use barbarians to control barbarians..."

Shi Dakai looked at Xiao Letian who was talking nonstop to the country, and he suddenly had an illusion, as if the young man in front of him was an omniscient god.

Xiao Letian was very confident in himself, because at this time, in addition to a group of two swords translations in the Qing Dynasty, the talents who could fully study Western politics, economy, culture, etc. were simply zero. To be honest, the Qing people at that time looked at Western powers, just like the people on earth now regarding the aliens they imagined.

Talent, this is the real talent! Shi Dakai could have heard from Xiao Letian's confident tone that this young man did not lie, he was really a talented person who was proficient in Western knowledge. The identity of an overseas Guke was real, and even for his profound knowledge, he was definitely a scholar-level overseas.

Shi Dakai is not an ordinary bandit mountain king. He is a serious and high-level intellectual. He is very familiar with traditional Chinese Confucianism. He has also carefully studied the Western world during the rebellion. However, no one can talk about it as thoroughly as Xiao Letian, and no book can talk about the same system as Xiao Letian.

Shi Dakai suddenly laughed, laughing extremely sinisterly. Xiao Letian never thought that this revolutionary who was highly respected in history could laugh so sinisterly. He suddenly interrupted Xiao Letian's speech.

"Sir, it's true that I am so talented that I am impressed now. I'm so impressed. I can let go of the people in the mountain temple. And I can also express my grudge against my brothers who died last night. This 110,000 silver is the pension of our dead brothers..."

Xiao Letian licked his dry lips and bowed to Shi Dakai. "Thank you, King Wing, I thank you for your thanks to the prince on behalf of everyone in the Mountain Temple. I will tell them the good news..." After Xiao Letian said that, he turned around and wanted to go back.

"Slow!" Shi Dakai suddenly spoke, and he stared at Xiao Letian with a wicked smile. "I haven't finished speaking yet. I can let someone go. I have the conditions to release him... I still lack a military advisor. I think my teacher must be worthy of his talent. Come on, take him with me and we will go back to the village..."

Ah? Xiao Letian was stunned at that time. How could he be an envoy in the world to bring himself in? No, I still have to enjoy the beautiful scenery of my motherland that has not been developed by industrially. I also have to go to old Beijing for a walk, and I also have to marry several beautiful wives. What's the matter with locking me in a big ravine?

"Your Majesty, no, you can't force others to do anything. It's not sweet to force melon...Your Majesty, yourselves..." Unfortunately, it was futile to let Xiao Letian shout out loud.
