    Seeing that Yang Laosan opened up the conversation and benefited a lot from his side, Li Hongzhang changed his mind and decided to strike while the iron was hot. After nearly two months of peace talks, Li Hongzhang also realized something of his own.  , the spread of Western learning to the East is not necessarily a bad thing.  ```` "Third Master, in that case, why not follow the example of the West and turn the East and even the surrounding countries into our colonies?" "Huh?" After hearing this, Yang Meng was obviously stunned for a moment.  It seems that in the future, there will be someone who can talk to him on an equal footing. This is not an act of transgression, nor is it a power grab. For Yang Meng, people who can talk to him on an equal footing are rare!  Xu Ziwei can be regarded as half, but his heart is greedy, and he is afraid that if some errands are handed over to him, it will only harm his life. Only smart people who are responsible can have the opportunity to talk to Yang Meng on an equal footing. This is the pillar.  country figures.  "Yes! There is some improvement, but the approach is wrong! The Western colonial policy has a big flaw, and that is plunder! As the world develops, European and American colonies will also develop, and no one will suffer oppression in vain  Yes, what Europe and the United States did in the colonies was plunder and oppression. Although these countries are weak now, they may not be weak in the future. As time goes by, and with our rise, European and American countries will suffer from this policy.  After all, many people were talking about me behind my back about the incident in Tsarist Russia, saying that my methods were too decisive and vicious. In just a few months, I slaughtered tens of millions of people in Tsarist Russia, but this was something that had to be done.  If we occupy the territory of Tsarist Russia without slaughtering its people, these people will not be content with being alone. There will be constant internal turmoil and Tsarist Russia is eyeing us. It will be troublesome to get hold of these many territories.  There are two ways to control the territory of Tsarist Russia, one is to relocate and the other is to kill. When the two sides are at war, relocating people in large numbers is undoubtedly an act of digging their own graves.  There are probably more than tens of millions of people fighting. We are seizing their homeland and killing their relatives and friends. For this reason, they will not fight to the death. Therefore, in order to obtain the territory outside the territory, they must use the method of massacre. There is no other way.  Turning a vassal country into a colony sounds like a good thing to expand the territory, but don't you know that it will be troublesome to manage such a large number of people, as the Han people account for the vast majority.  The Chinese people and our Han people have had thousands of years of communication. If we introduce foreign people from the East, Korea, Southeast Asia, and West Asia into the country, how should we arrange their status? ?????????????????????????????????????????????¡­  If you do this, who will dominate China in the future? " Yang Meng's explanation of the colonies and foreign policy was a bit extreme, but this was also done by all the countries in later generations.  History is hard to change. The war between races did not originate from the West. The Mongols and Manchus were the initiators. People are divided into three, six or nine grades. It is something that has been passed down in China for thousands of years. Change?  How to change it?  Who can change it?  Who dares to change it?  Even if it is changed, who knows whether it is being sold as dog meat or not?  Therefore, Yang Meng also supports such extreme remarks. Without him, people who are not of my race must have different minds!  "Oh Mr. San has far-reaching insights. I just don't know how we should treat vassal countries like Korea, Ryukyu, Nanzhang, Siam, Burma, and Afghanistan? Are they like the Orient?" As a scholar, I am familiar with the affairs of Tsarist Russia.  Li Hongzhang was not the same as his master Zeng Disheng. Regardless of the life and death of the people of Tsarist Russia, Li Hongzhang did not support the method of massacre, but the matter had been done, and opposition would not help. However, Yang Laosan¡¯s explanation of European and American colonies was somewhat  Astonishingly, this old Li Zuozhuang suddenly realized that after flattering him, he directly threw Yang Meng a difficult problem, how to solve the problem of vassal state.  The tributary system established by the former Zhu Ming Dynasty was passed to the Manchu and Qing Dynasties, and was already in name only during the Qianlong Dynasty. Now, except for Korea and Ryukyu, which one still regards the Qing Dynasty as the suzerainty?  After listening to Li Hongzhang¡¯s somewhat shady words, Yang Meng also knew that the man in front of him did not support his method of massacre in Tsarist Russia, so he was trying to keep his feet on the ground!  "There are some things that you just need to keep in mind. Now is the time when China is on the rise. Seeking common ground while reserving differences is the key. The method of massacre may have shortcomings, but this is a national policy. It doesn't matter if you criticize in your heart, but it must not be used in this way.  As a means of criticizing political opponents. Li Hongzhang, I use you because of the word change. Although Zeng Disheng is stubborn, his methods against foreigners are decisive. The rise of a country will inevitably be stained with blood. The rise of China will be bloody.  But if you don¡¯t change this, this foreign minister will be the end of you Li Hongzhang.¡±nbsp;Although Yang Meng hoped for an equal dialogue, Li Hongzhang's attitude was something Yang Meng didn't like. Without any twists and turns, Yang Meng directly spoke and hit Li Hongzhang's little ninety-nine.  "Yes! After Hongzhang goes back, he must ask for changes." After hearing these words, Li Hongzhang's expression also changed a little. He thought that Yang Laosan was a man with a broad mind, but he didn't expect that on key matters, he  He is also a ruthless person who spends every penny he has.  "It's up to you to change or not! Now I will tell you about the future vassal policy and the tribute system that has continued since the Ming Dynasty. It still has its advantages. The vassal state is a barrier, which is a good concept! But the previous tribute system  There are many shortcomings in claiming vassalage. In international affairs, interests come first. Those vassal countries will never pay tribute in exchange for our good things. Why do you have to go back and think about paying tribute?  When I think about it, the exile is too small and its location is critical, so the vassal country should not do it. In the future, you can make plans to see if it can be included in the prefectures and counties. It is not a bad idea to give him a Ryukyu mansion. Dongyang, Lang.  In the country of sex, it is good to be a watchdog; in Southeast Asia, there is a country named Lanfang. According to the policy of exile, one province can be given vacancies in Siam, Burma, Annan, and Nanzhang. I have made plans before.  , use domestic resources to pay tribute in exchange for our protection. In West Asia, Afghanistan can refer to the countries in Southeast Asia. There is no need to keep the three khanates in Central Asia. The Eastern European Plains and Ishim Grassland of Mongolia, Kazakhstan and Tsarist Russia are divided into!  We will support the new country. India is not ready yet. If we look at it again, maybe under the heavy pressure of Britain, they will become a vassal and pay tribute like Southeast Asia! " Yang Meng's words are not so much.  The elaboration of the tributary system is better described as a plan for Asia's international relations. His words are very bossy and do not care about the feelings of outsiders.  "Third Master, you just said that the colonial policy of Europe and the United States is wrong because of oppression. If you go by it, aren't we just oppressing the surrounding vassal countries? How much difference is there between vassal countries and colonies?  What? " Li Hongzhang's words are also straight to his heart. This so-called vassal system by Yang Laosan is very similar to the Western colonial system. The so-called tribute system is nothing more than that!  "Hey! You dare to ask, Li Hongzhang, let me ask you, how to deal with yourself in the officialdom? Slick? Slick on all sides? Nine orifices in the heart? Circle on the outside and square on the inside? Square on the outside and circle on the inside? The colonial policy, in addition to oppression, also involves plunder, let's  In the tribute system, oppression is more of a plundering, but can't we put it another way? Whether it is the East, Southeast Asia or West Asia, they are all facing a big problem now, and that is the invasion of the West.  Sovereign country, how should we deal with it? The most direct way is to send troops! This country's military expenditure is extravagant. Many subordinate countries need more than a million troops and hundreds of warships to protect them properly.  Should we pay for the military expenses? Historical records state that when the benevolent and righteous troops pass through the border, the local people all eat pots of pulp to welcome the soldiers. This can be regarded as paying tribute to Western technology, but it is sharp.  Is there no cost to passing it on to the vassal country? If we exchange our technology for the vassal country¡¯s resources, isn¡¯t this considered a tribute? How many of the vassal countries can use Western machines for the development of mines?  It¡¯s not much. Shouldn¡¯t we get the lion¡¯s share of the mineral resources when we help the vassal country to open mines and install machinery? Isn¡¯t this a tribute? To put it bluntly, the relationship between the vassal country is all based on a cover-up, so the people of the vassal country say it well.  Accepting it is the tribute system, but you, Li Hongzhang, have forced it. Are you still unwilling to accept it? " Yang Meng's previous words seemed to open up Li Hongzhang's mind. I see!  Some things, in other words, are legitimate, benevolent and righteous. As long as you keep your eating habits, this is a good thing!  But Yang Meng's last words made Li Hongzhang break out in cold sweat. The depth of his thoughts in front of him was astonishing, but the most frightening thing was his ability to recognize people. Yang Laosan's eyes seemed to be able to  See through people¡¯s true hearts!  "Hongzhang doesn't dare!" "Hmph! Dare or not is not a matter of words, but of hands. I don't care about killing people. If you dare to ruin my important affairs, there is no one in the world who cannot be killed! It's my master Zeng Yisheng who is the leader of the world's literati.  You control millions of troops outside the country, but you dare not break up with me. Don't you think it's a bit absurd that you, a scholar with no achievements and no power, want to overthrow me? You, Li Hongzhang, can do it?  , but he is not an indispensable person.When meeting European envoys, I could use a tea doctor to deal with Ignatiev. Who do you think you are?  "Zeng Disheng didn't dare to take advantage of Zuo Jigao's power to kill the world. How dare you, Li Hongzhang?"  "These words are heartbreaking. After hearing this, Li Hongzhang turned pale and knelt in front of the hall. Yang Laosan was invincible. After these few words, he had already penetrated into his heart. "Hongzhang doesn't dare!  Hongzhang doesn't dare!  "Forget it, these are just words to guide the way. If you have the intention, you can stay high. If you don't have the intention, you will inevitably end up in the countryside after a few years!"  You, Li Hongzhang, please cherish yourself and realize it!  "(To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novels will be better and updated faster!
