Chapter 847: Reorganization of the vassal system (Part 1)

"Your Majesty, the Conservative Party said among the people that what our court did in North Korea was unethical, and that it is an act of injustice to allow our subordinate troops to harm Japanese women and children outside. 8·==-=`=---` and , Ask us to deal with their subordinates, and we can't continue to maim women and children." The staff of the attendant room said.

After listening to the report, Wang Guorui asked, "What do the people think? Do they believe the words of the Conservative Party?"

"Yes, the people are also very dissatisfied with this kind of mutilation of women and children. Of course, they are dissatisfied with those belonging to the army, and many people think that since we are the suzerain of North Korea, we should have the right to manage them .And since those people are all our vassal citizens, why can't we deal with them? So they hope that our court will bring back those vassal teams that killed innocent people indiscriminately, and then punish them severely. It seems that the people They also don't quite support their killing of Japanese women and children."

Wang Guorui sighed and shook his head at this, obviously because this commoner really didn't understand these things. Because for many Chinese, or for ordinary people, their understanding of good and evil is purely one-sided and stays on those ordinary emotional feelings. They think that mercenaries killed those Japanese women and children, which is indeed wrong. In fact, if Wang Guorui stood from the perspective of ordinary people, he might think that doing so was cruel and cruel. But in many cases, as an official and a national leader, it is impossible to think in the way of ordinary people. Because ordinary people are more concerned about the safety of human life and world peace. The Chinese people have not liked war since ancient times, but yearned for peace. No matter whether it is fighting within one's own country or the government instigating foreign countries to fight, it is also disapproving.

Those traditional Chinese cultures love peace and will not resolve it by force unless it is absolutely necessary. ﹎8﹏··`-=·-=·`--·This has advantages, but it also has disadvantages. The advantage is that it is easier to rule, but the disadvantage is that their emotions are easy to backlog, and once it explodes, it is often an earth-shattering uprising. But sometimes it is not possible to govern completely in accordance with the wishes of the people, if everything is consulted. That certainly won't work either. After all, in fact, many ordinary people do not have the corresponding ability to govern, nor do they have the corresponding political vision. Therefore, if ordinary people are allowed to engage in absolute democracy in everything, it will definitely not work. The so-called compliance with public opinion is also to a certain extent. It's not about doing it 100% according to the wishes of the people.

"Your Majesty, many ordinary people don't understand the significance of our people killing those Japanese women and children in North Korea. They don't even understand why we target the Japanese so much. They still think that Japan is just our vassal country and not our opponent at all. .In addition to killing women and children, it is really not good. It is definitely not suitable for us. And the common people must have opinions on us, especially those mercenaries. How should we deal with it? This incident really touched ordinary people. The sensitive nerves of the people did show sympathy for ordinary women and children during the war. This also gave the conservatives a reason to criticize us, and they hoped to mobilize the people to let us send troops to capture those mercenaries.”

Wang Guorui asked: "Didn't we explain it? Can't we interfere with the other party's judicial sovereignty?"

"There is no way. The common people still follow their past thinking and think that North Korea is our vassal state, so we should have the right to control them."

Wang Guorui also frowned, this is different from ordinary people and future generations. If you are a person who grew up in later generations, almost every ordinary person knows many rules of international politics. However, the cultural level and various thinking of the people in the late Qing Dynasty still stayed at the rules of this time, thinking that China was the so-called superior country, and they could order the surrounding vassal states at will, so that they obeyed the orders 100%. Ya﹎>>Wenba>>-=--= But in fact, this kind of national thinking existed more than a thousand years ago, and this kind of thinking actually has a very deep-rooted foundation.

They still deal with the pride in their bones according to the past international relations. Therefore, they believe that China has the right to intervene in the internal affairs of those countries at will, and even if they want to inherit the throne, they must have China to canonize it. But this kind of thing will definitely not work in the future. This kind of colonial thinking will definitely collapse in the future, and this has nothing to do with the so-called military strength. With the awakening of nationalism around the world in the future. Those countries with a certain cultural foundation and certain civilization have also begun to awaken their national consciousness.

Once one's own national consciousness is formed, it may not be so easy to annex it. Even if the Yankees are powerful in later generations, didn't they dare to annex those other countries? It is not that it is managed by supporting some local people instead, and it does not directly rule. in the coming decades. North Korea, Vietnam, and many other former Chinese vassal states have also begun to awaken their own national consciousness, and most of the colonies around the world will also be like this. By then, this form of vassal state will be outdated. In fact, colonialism can only be truly formed when the local people have not formed their own national consciousness. Foreigners can colonize India, but they cannot quickly colonize China. That is because China is not as culturally and ideologically chaotic as India. And the cohesion of the nation is much stronger than that of India.

However, in the next few decades, national consciousness will rise in large numbers all over the world. At that time, this so-called vassal state system will definitely collapse. This is a process that even Wang Guorui cannot reverse. In the future, all countries will interact on an "equal basis", at least on the surface. In the future, power and all kinds of hegemony will be scolded by people, not even the enemy scolds you, but the people in your own country will scold you.

"We can't do nothing about this kind of thing, but it's not suitable to do it completely according to the people's ideas. Our reason why we can't interfere with foreign judicial sovereignty may be a reason for Westerners, but for our domestic Common people, they are no reason. They are now in the process of alternation of old and new ideas. Most of the people have not been able to get in touch with new ideas in time. Naturally, they still judge the relationship between our countries according to the past thinking, and I still judge the international situation with past thinking. In this way, I am busy not to interfere with the reasons of foreign judicial sovereignty, but I cannot convince them. This is like talking with a duck, and the two sides have not talked at all. The thinking is still stuck in the past, but our thinking is more advanced, so we can’t say that we can’t go together!”

"It seems that we have to let people take the blame! Kick North Korea out, and then let them attract firepower for us. Don't the people think that they belong to our country? Then we will let North Korea stand up against us, so that we will There is no reason to interfere with them," Wang Guorui said.

The North Korean side received the news, and then that Jeon Ji-hyun's father received a telegram from Wang Guorui.

"Mr. Quan, the emperor has sent a telegram, asking you to switch on the telegram, and then announcing that you are no longer our vassal state of China."

"What? Let's declare that we are no longer a vassal state of China?"

Those North Korean nobles were almost scared to pee. Aren't they asking themselves to die? Now is the time when they want Wang Guorui to support them. At this time, they are actually declared not to be a vassal state of China. Isn't this "rebellious"? North Korea has been a vassal state of China for a long time. They still count on Wang Guorui to support them, but now they want to declare that they are not a vassal state of China. Isn't this courting their own death? Moreover, some of their nobles still hope to rely on their daughters to obtain the throne of the King of Korea, but now they want to declare that they are not a vassal state of China. Isn't this killing themselves?

They wanted to be Wang Guorui's lackeys now, how could they dare to say such things publicly? If you don't want to be a vassal state of China, they wouldn't even dare to lend their courage!

"Just don't worry, nothing will happen. In the future, the emperor will still treat you as a vassal state. It's just to let you publicly fool some people. It's just a superficial article. You should also learn from the future development trend. .According to what the emperor said, the future development trend is to get along with each other on an equal footing~www.readwn.com~ instead of doing whoever is the vassal of whoever it is, understand?" Wang Guorui's representative said.

But those North Korean nobles were still not at ease, because they have been a vassal state of China for many years, but they suddenly stopped being a vassal state, which made them very uncomfortable.

However, Wang Guorui really intends to give up North Korea in name, because this huge vassal state system in Chinese history may have been an honor in the past, but today it may be a burden instead. Colonies are not as big as possible, and it does not mean that having more colonies in name is better. Sometimes having more colonies in name will bring a lot of political risks to your country. In particular, they are likely to drag you into it, which is also inappropriate. A huge colonial system may end up dragging itself down instead.

"The emperor really won't abandon us? If the emperor abandons us, then we really have no hope!"

"Really not, the emperor won't! If you don't believe me, we can sign some agreements again, which can be regarded as a promise to you. Does this reassure you?" (To be continued.)

ps: Tragic, it was reviewed again, I will change it immediately, hope to pass it as soon as possible!
