Text Chapter 455: Rivers and Lakes
"It's a gangster."
"Stop interrupting! It's the same!" Tao Ruoxiang snorted, "Qin Lang, maybe I am not a competent teacher, and I will not be a teacher soon, but at least now I am still your teacher, and I think you are a A very talented student, I really don’t want you to go astray!”
Tao Ruoxiang's words are indeed sincere. She knows that Qin Lang has a lot of abilities, and knows that Qin Lang's medical skills and martial arts achievements are extraordinary, so she hopes that Qin Lang's future will also be unlimited, instead of being "ruined" on the road of underworld. Tao Ruoxiang graduated from the Criminal Investigation Department of the South China Associated University School of Political Science and Law. She has studied too many cases about the underworld. The result of each case was that the underworld lord was killed by the police or sentenced to death or life imprisonment. She knew Qin Lang's methods. Extraordinary, but in her opinion, no matter how powerful Qin Lang's methods are, after embarking on the underworld, he will just become an underworld tycoon. In the country of China, no matter how powerful and powerful the underworld is, they are just ants in front of the state machine.
In China, no matter how powerful the gang is, it is impossible to compete with the state machinery.
Even if Qin Lang becomes the leader of a super gang, his end will be very sad.
Tao Ruoxiang could almost foresee this.
"Teacher Tao, I'm not quibbling, but your understanding of Jianghu is too one-sided. I have to popularize some knowledge about Jianghu to you. Before popularizing knowledge about Jianghu, I first have to correct your view - that is, not all Jianghu All Jianghu people or gangsters are unjust. For example, the founding general of the Ye family in Pingchuan Province is a Jianghu person and was once the leader of the Jianghu gang Wolong Hall. Later he joined the revolution and his identity changed from a bandit to a robber. He became a general. In the past, Chiang Kai-shek had also been involved with the Youth Gang; earlier, Zhu Yuanzhang was also a so-called "underworld person". Princes and generals have a lot of talent, whether they are gangsters or Jianghu. No matter who you are, if you are a snake, you can only lie down in the grass; if you are a dragon, you will eventually soar into the sky."
Qin Lang is indeed an eloquent person. These words made Tao Ruoxiang a little bit overwhelmed. She hesitated for a moment before continuing: "These people you mentioned are a very small number! Think about it, how many gangs are there in Pingchuan Province?" People, but there is only one founding general, the chance is only one in a billion! You must have heard of this saying that one general can cause thousands of bones to wither!"
"Haha... That's right, one general can make thousands of bones dry up. However, I am definitely not one of those ten thousand bones." Qin Lang laughed, with a confident and relaxed smile.
Seeing Qin Lang like this, Tao Ruoxiang really wanted to punch Qin Lang in the face that deserved a beating, but she was not a violent teacher after all, so she could only understand: "Qin Lang, you know that I graduated from the criminal investigation major. , I know the current gang situation very well. I can’t help telling you that in our country, although there are indeed large and small gangs, these gangs seem to be prosperous on the surface, but in fact they are controlled by some local powerful people. Officials, to put it harshly, many gangsters are just dogs raised by government officials. The so-called cunning rabbits will die as lackeys. Once these gangsters lose their use value, they will soon be sacrificed. Those gangsters who seem to have infinite glory will .The gang leader became a prisoner in an instant. Qin Lang, do you want to become a lackey raised by these people? "
"I, Qin Lang, stand upright, how can I be treated like a dog by others!" Qin Lang snorted, "Teacher Tao, I know you are thinking of me, that's why you say these sincere words to me. But, I have told you before, I don’t want to be a gang leader, I want to be a high-ranking figure in the world. A real high-level figure in the world is not an official’s lackey, but one who can treat officials as his own lackey, which is completely different!”
"Can officials be treated as lackeys? Do you think this is possible?" Of course Tao Ruoxiang would not believe it.
"You have to believe it." Qin Lang said seriously, "I can give you an example."
"Examples? Okay, I would like to hear your examples. Tell me a few examples."
"For example, the Buddhist Sect. The Shaolin Temple under the Buddhist Sect. Do you know how many officials in the military and political system are directly or indirectly related to the Shaolin Temple? If the situation in the Shaolin Temple is not obvious enough, the situation in the Tibetan Tantric Sect is the most obvious. In Tibet A place known as the Pure Land, do you know what power really rules this land? Do you know why in all dynasties, including up to now, even the highest levels of the country have interfered with the canonization of Living Buddhas such as the Panchen Lama and **?"
The forces in the world are respected by Buddhism and Taoism. The example cited by Qin Lang is just the tip of the iceberg of Buddhism, because the real influence of Buddhism has even exceeded the territory of China. Of course, the same is true for Taoism. Their influence The power is definitely not limited to the whole of China.
Maybe some officials can regard gangsters as their lackeys, use them if they want, and kill them if they are not useful, but absolutely no official can control the entire Buddhism and Taoism, because such a behemoth cannot be controlled by one or a few officials. On the contrary, many officials have become "believers" in Buddhism and Taoism and are willing to be used by them.
In fact, this is not only true in China, but also abroad. Even the president of the United States, who is known as the most powerful in the world, is absolutely impossible to turn the Christian pope into his lackey, because even in the United States, there are definitely many more Christian believers than supporters of the president. As for Islam, let alone that. Many countries in the entire Middle East are directly controlled by Islam.
Tao Ruoxiang is a smart person. She certainly knows that what Qin Lang said is true, but she asked Qin Lang in a disbelieving tone: "Buddhism and Taoism, of course, needless to say, they have thousands of years of history in China. Doesn’t it seem inappropriate for you to confuse them with gangsters?”
"Isn't it appropriate? Confused?" Qin Lang smiled faintly, "No matter how lofty the status of Buddhism and Taoism are today, it cannot change the fact that they are also part of the Jianghu. Since ancient times, monks, Taoists, and nuns have also been among the Jianghu people. 1. Teacher Tao, the reason why you think so is simply because they are much stronger than those gangsters, but in essence, there is no difference between them, they are just members of the gang. So, if I join the gang , naturally I will not be anyone’s lackey, nor will I become cannon fodder to be sacrificed by others. I will become an outstanding figure comparable to the leaders of Buddhism and Taoism, and become the top figure in the world!"
