Chapter 484 Fog of History

"What kind of person is Zuo Zongtang?"

"I'm just a soldier under his command. Although I was lucky enough to see Mr. Zuo several times, I haven't talked to him." The werewolf showed regret on his face.

"It's a pity, a pity."

"Yes, it's a pity. At that time, I actually had the opportunity to talk to Mr. Zuo, but I considered myself very high and thought that I could be equal to Mr. Zuo in the future, so I gave up the idea..." The werewolf sighed for a long time, " Unexpectedly, I will never meet Mr. Zuo in my lifetime."

"continue."

"Actually, my life experience is not as wonderful as you imagine."

"Take it as a story." Wang Zhu smiled.

"I haven't been a soldier under Lord Zuo for a long time. Because of the influence of the environment, I have nothing to achieve, so I left China and went to the United States to build railways...Of course, my purpose is not to go to the United States to build railways. The main reason is to find my own group—the werewolves.”

"The werewolf who adopted you is either British or French. Why are you running to America?"

"I was ignorant at the time. I couldn't tell the difference between the United States, France, and Britain. I only knew that werewolves were foreigners. I thought that if I went to the United States, I might encounter werewolves. As a result, I was tricked into building a railway for several years. When building the railway, because I took the lead They went on strike, resisted the exploitation of the white people, clashed with the white people, and killed some white people. As a result, the identity of the werewolf was exposed, and the vampires and the Holy See were hunted down..."

"You are bad enough." Wang Zhu sighed, he could almost imagine how dark the tragic life of this hard-working werewolf who was hunted down in a foreign country was.

"Yes, it was very bad. After that, around 1885, the construction of the Pacific Railway was completed, and I was mixed in the country where a large number of Chinese workers returned..."

"Then, your hard life began." Seeing the disappointed expression of the werewolf, Wang Zhu guessed that this fellow must have been unsatisfactory, which made his depressed mood much better. Your own happiness is really based on the pain of others.

"Yes... After that, I participated in many historical events one after another, and even talked with Mr. Sun at night by candlelight..."

"Sun Zhongshan?" Wang Zhu looked at the werewolf in surprise.

"Yes."

"How about others?" Wang Zhu looked at the werewolf eagerly, feeling a little unbelievable.

"You feel,

Can I answer your question? "The werewolf looked at Wang Zhu with a strange expression on his face.

"Ahem...just say a few words."

"The flaws do not hide the strengths. Although Mr. Sun has many deficiencies, it does not prevent him from becoming a great man." The werewolf said lightly.

"Well, go on with your story."

"When Mr. Sun and I talked by candlelight that time, it happened that Yuan Shikai was dominant. Mr. Sun and I reached a consensus to assassinate Yuan Shikai, but Mr. Sun was worried that I would not be able to complete the task, and instead broke the agreement with Yuan Shikai. In the end, Give up the assassination of Yuan Shikai."

"You are a werewolf. Wouldn't it be easy to kill Yuan Shikai?"

"Do you think there is really no one in China?" The werewolf smiled wryly: "At that time in China, there were a huge number of practitioners. Although I was strong and agile, I hadn't reached the point of being invincible. Besides, there were so many masters around Yuan Shikai... Of course, I still had a chance to kill Yuan Shikai, but I couldn't tell Mr. Sun that I was a werewolf, so Mr. Sun finally chose to give up..."

"Wait, you said that there were a lot of cultivators active in the secular world at that time?"

"Yes, because at that time when wars were raging and the Chinese nation was at its lowest ebb, many reclusive cultivators came out to try to turn the tide."

"Turn the tide! Hmph, it's not a series of shameful wars and unequal treaties." Wang Zhu sneered.

"Wrong, although the cultivators didn't leave anything in the annals of history, you can't erase their achievements." The werewolf said with a serious face.

"Achievement! What do you mean?" Wang stupid was taken aback.

"When I first came into contact with Mr. Sun, there were already cultivators around Mr. Sun."

"Since there are cultivators around, why did they suffer a crushing defeat in the War of Resistance Against Japan?" Wang Zhu sneered.

"Big mistake, big mistake!" The werewolf shook his head again and again.

"If you don't tell me, how do I know I'm wrong?"

"Most of the cultivators don't care about worldly affairs, and they don't understand the secular regime. They can't participate in human wars. What's more, at that time, firearms were rampant, and ordinary cultivators couldn't turn the tide. It's just to perform some tasks, or to protect some important people, for example, to protect the founding leader of New China..."

"What?" Wang Zhu's eyes widened like copper bells.

"It's not surprising. When a certain cultivator is optimistic about a certain person, he will protect his safety both openly and secretly."

"So that's how it is, that's how it is!"

Wang Zhu had a suddenly realized expression on his face.

He has always been full of curiosity about the legendary life of the leader. He really can't imagine that in that chaotic era full of wars and wars, he actually went all the way through five stages and killed six generals without any damage. Reaching the pinnacle of power and ascending to the altar, in Chinese history, it is absolutely unprecedented.

"Behind history, there is a lot of fog, and there are many things that will never be known to the world. For example, there are many secrets in the Boxer Uprising.

"Those thieves from the Boxer Regiment also have inside stories?"

"The Boxers were quite formal at the beginning. At that time, Christianity expanded rapidly in the land of China, which aroused the dissatisfaction of some practitioners. Then, some practitioners planned the uprising of the Boxers. At the beginning of the uprising, under the protection of the practitioners , there are indeed many boxers who are not afraid of foreign guns and cannons, and are invulnerable..."

"Hahaha, invulnerable...hahaha..."

"Don't jump to conclusions!" The werewolf showed a trace of dissatisfaction on his face, and said with a stern expression: "In the beginning, the Boxers were overwhelming, attacking cities and conquering land, and it was unstoppable. However, although those cultivators are powerful, they have no management skills and cannot control more and more In the end, an invincible iron army was reduced to robbers and refugees who burned, killed and looted. It is for this reason that practitioners realize that although they have the heart to kill the enemy, they have no power to govern the country. It will push the nation into the abyss. Therefore, after this incident, the cultivators began to become cautious, change their strategies, and cultivate some people with great wisdom who have the ability to govern the country, such as Kang Youwei, Sun Yat-sen and others, and even, Even someone like Mr Zhou would have some protection."

"Who is Mr. Zhou?" Wang Zhu asked casually when he saw the respectful look on the werewolf's face when he mentioned Mr. Zhou.

"Zhou Shuren."

"Lu Xun!" Wang Zhu was startled from ear to ear.

"Yes, Lu Xun."

"A literati who has no power to restrain a chicken also needs protection?"

"Mr. Zhou's pen is like a thousand horses. Naturally, it needs to be protected. Back then, he aroused the national awakening, but his contribution was indispensable."

"It makes sense and makes sense."

"Without the protection and help of cultivators, do you think Mr. Zhou could have lived so well in that era of chaos and white terror?"

"No." Wang Zhu nodded in agreement, "By the way, when you said the Boxers, it was because the cultivators couldn't tolerate the expansion of the Holy See?"

"Yes, apart from interests and races, wars in the secular world are mostly related to religion. Every war is a religious expansion. In the early days, on the land of China, the influence of the Holy See was almost negligible, but the crow -After the war began, in a very short period of time, in some coastal cities, Christianity and traditional Taoism and Buddhism were on equal footing. Small, so the Boxer Rebellion appeared."

"Unfortunately, it's a failure." Wang Zhu still has a little understanding of the Boxer Regiment, and from the historical records, it can be said that the Boxer Regiment received rave reviews.

"It's not completely a failure, it can only be said to be an unsuccessful experiment. After this experiment, modern cultivators realized their own shortcomings and began to change their strategies. Instead of directly intervening in human wars, they formulated As I said at the beginning, the national destiny of the country has been planned for the future of the Chinese nation in a hundred years, and a hundred years ago."

"Sure enough, he is playing a big game of chess, which is admirable!"

"Yes, governing the country is like chess. It is not about gaining or losing for a while. If you lose territory, you can regain it when it is strong, but it is difficult for a nation to rise when it declines."

"Uh-huh."

Wang Zhu has recently been supplementing his historical knowledge, so he naturally understands this truth.

In history, many countries have declined, such as Russia, Germany, France, and Japan. However, these countries are always rising, and after some nations decline, it is difficult to make a comeback. On the world map, countries that disappear are not There are many, but there are quite a few ethnic groups that have disappeared. Many ethnic groups used to be the same in the long river of history, but in the end they turned out to be short-lived.

There is no doubt that the nation is more important than the state.

The nation is like the residents in a community, and the country is the property company that manages the community.

The properties can be changed frequently, and the residents of the community are a relatively stable group. It doesn’t matter if one or two leave, and it will not affect the stability of the community. But if the residents of the community are expelled and killed, then the community will lose its vitality. , even if there are new residents, things are already different...

"Talk about the War of Resistance."

"The War of Resistance...there is nothing to say about the War of Resistance, because the cultivators have always controlled the situation. Although the Japanese have occupied most of China, they cannot completely occupy China. Even if the United States does not intervene, Japan's defeat will only Sooner or later... In fact, the United States was also a pawn used by the cultivators at that time."

"The United States is also a pawn?" Wang Chu once again showed an incredulous expression.

"It's not exactly a pawn. At that time, everything was full of uncertainty, but the cultivators worked hard in this direction, and they succeeded. In fact, according to the original plan, the war between China and Japan is expected to be It was about fifty years ago, but because of the intervention of practitioners, the war ended forty years earlier."

"According to what you said, if there were no cultivators, China would be subjugated?" Wang Chu felt that the werewolf exaggerated the achievements of the cultivators.

"Although the possibility is very small, it is not ruled out. It is not that the Chinese nation has never been subjugated. The Han nationality, the main ethnic group, has been enslaved by Yuanmeng for more than a century."

"Since this is the case, I don't understand why the Chinese cultivators went there during the Yuanmeng period?" Wang Zhu snorted coldly.

"As I said at the beginning, cultivators do not have the power to govern the country because they practice behind closed doors. Even if they lead troops to fight, they are only vanguards and cannot be commanders. It may be possible to turn the tide. When faced with this situation, the only way is to find and train powerful people to fight against the enemy of the subjugated country. The process of discovering, searching and cultivating often takes tens or hundreds of years. Moreover, in this process, cultivation Or let the nation have the vitality to rise... Do you think it is luck that the Chinese nation has been able to rise continuously after hundreds of years of enslavement in the Yuan, Mongolian and Qing dynasties?"

"So that's how it is."

Wang Zhu sighed deeply.

Only after clearing away the fog of history did we realize that there are so many secrets behind the scenes.

"Now, tell me about yourself." Wang Zhu was silent for a while. r1058
