Chapter 381: Impossible, how is this possible?!

The 59th year of Qianlong was indeed an eventful autumn. First the British invaded the Yangtze River. Then, the White Lotus Rebellion occurred in Xiangyang. In a very short period of time, several provinces affected. The hot spring kiln area at the border between Yidu and Zhijiang in Hubei Province broke out. The uprising led by Zhang Zhengmo, Nie Jieren and others broke out.

Other areas followed one after another. Liu Shengming from Zhijiang, Lin Zhihua from Changyang, Qin Jiayao, Huang Tingzhu from Yidu and others responded one after another. Under the leadership of Yang Qiyuan, the Dangyang scholars killed the county magistrate and occupied the entire county town. Then uprisings broke out in Laifeng, Zhushan, Donghu, Yuan'an, Baokang, Xuan'en, Xianfeng, Longshan and other places.

The people in Xiangyang and Fancheng led the White Lotus Sect in Xiangyang, Suizhou, Zhongxiang, Jingshan and other places. In May, Xiaogan Bailian people rose up under the leadership of Lu Weizhi and others.

The White Lotus Rebellion in Hubei soon spread to Hunan, Guizhou, Guangxi, Sichuan, Shaanxi, Henan and other provinces. In just two months, dozens of uprisings occurred, and in a short period of time, the world shook.

"The world is in chaos, this is simply the world is in chaos." Zhao Yi sat in his other hall where he lived in Anding Academy, smiling bitterly.

"Aren't these all forced by corrupt officials? The government of the court is corrupt, and everyone knows that our emperor is unwilling to believe it. He still thinks that the officials in the world intend to damage the prestige of the court." His proud disciple Wang Jing looked disdainful and angry.

Zhao Yi closed his eyes and said slowly: "In the past, Yin Zhuangtu, a bachelor of the cabinet and minister of the Ministry of Rites, said in the revision of the system of stopping the crimes, "The governors and governors are not famous, and the administration is abolition. When the ministers pass by the local government, they understand whether the officials are virtuous, and half of the merchants and people are sighing. The customs of all provinces are generally the same. When the emperor saw this, he was furious. In the end, he forced Mr. Yin to commit falsehood and was punished and demoted."

"So, the court should have such a disaster." Wang Jing shook his robe, picked up a book from the table and read it. The title of the book was very strange: Yuan Fulun.

Most of these books were collected quietly by Zhao Yi. However, after the British appeared at the estuary of the Yangtze River and humiliated the court and the people of the world, there were fewer scholars and literati who usually praised themselves as the country of the Celestial Empire. At least they would not speak out all day long, and proudly yelled that he would only blame him for his righteousness. He would definitely give up such nonsense.

Instead, we paid more attention to Western books that have flowed into the people. Most of those books are books that introduce the history and development of the West, and also introduce the colonial history of Western countries and their process of using science and technology.

Although there are still many scholars who think that the war history of these Westerners who kill horses and horses, they have not been very smart since ancient times, and there are still many of them. Many of them have already vaguely realized that hundreds of years ago, those Westerners could only lick the heels of the mainland of China. But now, their steps have been so great that they have surpassed the Chinese nation. They have begun to think and look at everything around them with an scrutiny.

There are many students in Anding Academy with this attitude, but Wang Jing, as a disciple of Zhao Yi, went further than them because he had a good mentor. After discussing and examining with his teacher, one of the three great masters of Jiangyou, they also sadly discovered that China will not be able to remain unchanged. If they remain so arrogant, if they still hold on to the Four Books and Five Classics all day long, if they still allow the government to decay, this empire would really become a fatty meat that anyone who can step on and bite a bite will not become a colony for those Westerners, but if they continue like this, the pride of the Chinese people will also become the dust of history.

However, in their hearts, they still did not expect to overthrow the court in the past. This seemingly powerful ruling class that has been standing on their heads and even their souls for more than a hundred years. After all, it is really difficult for people to transform their thoughts that have been strangled by enslavement and education and literary inquisition for more than a hundred years.

"The emperor once said that he had been abdicated after sixty years of ascending the throne. Now, it has been fifty-nine years. I hope the new emperor can be able to improve his ambitions, rectify the government of the world, and then restore the world to peace." Zhao Yi rubbed his brows and said slowly, but he did not have any confidence in saying this.

"How many saints can be produced in the world? Even if the new emperor can do it? All officials in the world are officials for wealth, and all soldiers and generals in the world are like this. Can it be reversed with just one force? Students remember that Emperor Shizong once purged the rule of the world, but now, from the governor's office to the servants, who is honest in the world?" Wang Jing sneered and said without hesitation.

Hearing his disciple's words of almost accusation, Zhao Yi couldn't help laughing: "Okay, I know how to defend you, but the court is in the court after all, and the White Lotus bandits are in chaos. Although the momentum is huge, it is just a cult that deceives the world and will never be able to become a great man. Although they take advantage of the government and the people's hearts are fluctuating due to the British and foreign chaos, they will definitely not be able to last long. Forget it, you, my master and disciple are finally in the mountains and wilderness, and you and my master and disciple are in the mountains and fields, and you and the disciples don't care about them, and you don't want to care about them. You can only watch the changes in the wind and clouds."

"Yes, if a student in such a court is in less than half a year, he will either become a public enemy of his colleagues or he will only be in conjunction with him. It is better to learn more from the teacher and be much happier and free." Wang Jing said with a smile. However, how could Zhao Yi not hear the helplessness in his tone? However, he could only be silent. After all, he was deeply disappointed in this court where the government was extremely corrupt. He did not want his proud disciples to go to this jar of stagnant water. If he might not do it well, Wang Jing, who is strong in character, would not even be able to save his life.

"By the way, teacher, when I went to the nai businessman to pick up books the day before yesterday, I heard a joke." Wang Jing saw Zhao Yi's expression and did not want his master to worry about his affairs, so he quickly started talking.

"Just? Okay, let me tell you, let me have fun." Zhao Yi leaned on the recliner, picked up the small teapot and slurped it happily, signaling Wang Jing.

"This is what those maritime merchants told their disciples in private. The Chinese Federation in South China heard that the court and Na Yingli had lost consecutive battles and were blocked from the canal transportation. In the end, they had to sign the city alliance with Na Yingli. The leader led the hero to fight tens of thousands of land and land to fight the Englishmen on Hong Kong Island... and said that the British did not dare to have any warships entering the South China Sea again." Wang Jing told Zhao Yi the exaggerated news he heard.

However, Zhao Yi did not laugh as Wang Jing expected, just like himself. After hearing such boasting words, his brows became tighter and tighter, and his expression seemed very serious, which made Wang Jing unable to help but hold it in his arms.

"Do you think this is a joke?" After hearing Wang Jing's statement, Zhao Yi fell into silence. He held the purple clay pot in one hand and gently tapped the armrest of the recliner with the other hand. The tea in the pot in his hand was already cold and still unknown.

Wang Jing didn't dare to disturb Zhao Yi. He knew his teacher's temper. When he was thinking about problems, anyone would definitely get angry. After waiting for at least two incense sticks, it was not until Wang Jing felt that his sitting position had been stiff for too long and his spine was a little sore. He heard Zhao Yi put down his beloved purple sand mud pot, looking frightened and incredible: "Impossible, how could this be..."

"Teacher, what's wrong? What's wrong? What may be impossible?" Wang Jing felt a little dizzy when he heard Zhao Yi's muttering to himself.

Zhao Yi ignored Wang Jing, rubbed his hands, walked in the room, and muttered to himself in a low voice. However, when he heard this in Wang Jing's ear, the young talent made the face pale and his face full of horror.

"Since the British had the upper hand and forced the court to sign the Zhenjiang Treaty, but after nearly half a year, why didn't the British send their consulates or envoys to station the ports they requested to develop? No British merchants, or even Western merchants, appeared in ports in Fujian and Zhejiang?"

"As mentioned in these books, these Westerners have always bullied the weak and feared the strong. Now they have gained the upper hand. The court has a great disgrace. When they were afraid of their navy, they did not see them asking the court to fulfill the treaty. Isn't this strange?"

Listening to Zhao Yi's murmuring, Wang Jingcai suddenly woke up and stood up from the chair: "My teacher's intention is that what the Nanyang Maritime Merchants say is true?"

"I'm afraid it's not fake." Zhao Yi said in a deep voice with a frown tightly. Wang Jing raised his legs and wanted to rush out the door. Zhao Yi couldn't help but be stunned: "What are you doing?"

"Students want to confirm it." Wang Jing, who had just walked to the gate of the courtyard, replied.

"No, stop me!" Zhao Yi raised his gray eyebrows and shouted in a deep voice. Wang Jing couldn't help but be stunned: "Teacher, don't you want to know the answer?"

"Who said I don't want to know, but I want to ask you, if the matter is true, there is another strong Han power in the world. What should you do?"
