Travel through the heavens

Seeing the bearded man being dragged away, He Yunwen opened his mouth as if to speak, hesitated for a while, and finally did not say anything.

Huang Feihong, who was standing next to him, was puzzled and couldn't help asking, "Shen Ye, why don't you keep this man so that you can accuse Jackson?"

Without Fang Muye's reply, He Yunwen helped to explain: "No matter what, the contract is signed in black and white. Even if Jackson is captured, according to the regulations, he will eventually be handed over to the American Embassy. Given the Americans' behavior, they will definitely not do anything to Jackson. It's just a futile effort. It's better to kill this comprador and vent the anger. He's just a dog, so just kill him."

Fang Muye waved his hand, and all the officers and soldiers retreated immediately. Only he, He Yunwen, Huang Feihong, Xu Guanhe, and Yan Zhendong were left in the hall.

Fang Muye then continued, "Yes, the imperial court has been weak for a long time, and the capital is still carrying out the Westernization Movement. It is difficult for us to deal with foreigners. It is almost impossible to bring Jackson to justice through normal channels."

While speaking, Fang Muye paid special attention to He Yunwen's reaction. Seeing that he showed no abnormality, he already had a sense of propriety in his mind.

He Yunwen sighed and said worriedly: "As long as Jackson is still here, there will be other compradors. When the time comes, a large number of Chinese people will not be able to resist the temptation and rush onto the merchant ships. I am afraid that even our government will not be able to stop them. Alas, this place has become like this, how can I follow!"

Fang Muye said quietly, "Brother He, you should know that similar things have happened in other provinces. People like Jackson are not only found in Foshan."

He Yunwen couldn't help but clench his fists and sighed, "We were all lured by the gold mountain. Gold mountain, is there a gold mountain in the world?"

Huang Feihong had heard the bearded comprador's deceptive speech and had seen the Chinese flocking to the scene. He was naturally touched and said, "Where is the gold mountain? The comprador said that you have to be careful when walking in the United States because you can step on gold if you are not careful. Even if you wash your face by the river, there will be gold sand in the water. The Chinese are ignorant and will believe such words. If there is such a good place, why do so many foreign ships come to our port?"

Fang Muye's cold voice followed: "Chinese people think that the golden mountain is abroad, but they don't know that in the eyes of those foreigners, perhaps the land under our feet is what they call the golden mountain."

"For thousands of years, China has always been the most powerful country in the world. Now that its national strength has temporarily fallen behind, it has attracted the attention of Western powers. The two Opium Wars have dampened the spirit of the Chinese people."

"The Westernization Movement in Beijing was intended to 'learn from the West to control the West' and 'learn from the West to control the West'. It was a desperate move, but it also made many Chinese people, who had lost their national confidence and self-esteem, feel even more inferior, thinking that Western countries were stronger than us and that foreigners were superior."

"The worship of foreign things is getting worse and worse, as if the moon is rounder in foreign countries. They are servile and call foreigners 'foreign masters' all the time, and they learn to chant scriptures like Westerners all day long, but they have forgotten the noble surnames of their ancestors."

"Nowadays, there is no need for foreigners to take action. The backbone of the Chinese people has already bent halfway."

“Whose China is today?”

"If a shameful sign saying 'Chinese and dogs are not allowed' appears on Chinese soil in the future, how will we be able to worship our ancestors and explain ourselves to future generations?"

After saying these words, Huang Feihong and He Yunwen were both in deep reflection. He Yunwen even had a trace of shame on his face, as if he had not fought for it. Fang Muye saw that there was no falsehood in his expression and thought to himself: This person can be used, he can be adopted!

He Yunwen came back to his senses, sighed, and asked, "From what Brother Shen sees, how can we save the country?"

Huang Feihong also looked over immediately, with expectation in his eyes.

Fang Muye spoke loudly, every word sounding powerful.

"If China wants to revitalize, it must bear the brunt. The Chinese people must reshape their spirit and strive for self-improvement!"

These words were like the morning bell and evening drum, which dispelled the mist, and like the shining sun, which pierced through the haze. The eyes of Huang Feihong and He Yunwen were suddenly full of light.

Fang Muye's heart was quite heavy at this moment, simply because he knew more.

It is now the 1894th year of the reign of Emperor Guangxu, that is, AD. According to the historical trajectory, the Sino-Japanese War of - will soon break out. When the Qing Dynasty is defeated and the Treaty of Shimonoseki is signed the next year, its international status will plummet and the Western powers will launch a wave of dividing up China.

This triggered the Boxer Rebellion, which led to the invasion of China by the Eight-Nation Alliance and ultimately the signing of the humiliating "Xin Chou Treaty" by the Qing government. From then on, China was completely reduced to a semi-colonial and semi-feudal society, bringing unprecedented disaster to the country and its people.

Although this is a movie world and there are some differences in details from the real world, the overall development trend is the same. In other words, the things that Fang Muye knows will basically happen.

The road for Chinese people to reshape their spirit is likely to be long, difficult and arduous.

That night, in Baozhilin, inside the study.

Fang Muye sat quietly behind the table, picked up the tea bowl and took a sip.

After coming out of the Dusi Office, Huang Feihong told him that he had something to ask him, so the two of them returned to Baozhilin and entered the study.

Huang Feihong thought for a long time, looked at Fang Muye, and asked solemnly: "Shenye, tell me the truth, is my father doing that thing?"

Fang Muye's eyes flashed, he put down the tea bowl, and asked in confusion, "What is it?"

Huang Feihong said loudly: "Run for the rejuvenation of China!"

He was a smart man. When he heard Fang Muye's remarks in the Dusi Office tonight, he suddenly remembered that many years ago, in a small courtyard in Jiaxing City, the same person had said similar words.

The same rejuvenation of China, the same awakening.

Not long after that, this man and Doctor Yang came to Baozhilin to stay for a while. After that, his father began to become mysterious, disappearing like a dragon until there was no news at all.

Now that I think about it carefully, I have a pretty good guess in my mind.

Fang Muye hesitated for a moment and nodded: "Yes!"

Brother Huang, I didn’t tell Feihong this. He inherited your intelligence and guessed it himself.

After receiving Fang Muye's affirmative answer, Huang Feihong showed an expression of "as expected", and couldn't help but feel a little bit of complaint towards his father in his heart.

Huang Feihong looked at Fang Muye with a very serious expression, and said resolutely: "Sir, Feihong is also willing to join!"

Fang Muye shook his head and refused directly: "No!"

"Why? When you killed Yan Kong, you thought I was too young and didn't let me join you. Why are you refusing to let me in now?" Huang Feihong was very puzzled.

Fang Muye sold out his teammates helplessly: "Your father will not agree. According to his wishes, this matter should not be told to you before you carry on the Huang family's lineage."

Huang Feihong immediately slammed the table in anger, "How can this be so? He is allowed to be a father and have a sense of justice, but a son is not allowed to work together with him?"

Fang Muye's eyes lit up: Oh, a loving father and a filial son! What a pity!
