I want to ruin the country

Chapter 517: Who made us unlucky?

Yining smiled and said,

"If I really spend the New Year in the villa, wouldn't it be the same as spending it in London?"

"Where are we going?"

"The most festive place to celebrate the New Year is in the countryside, not in the city!"

After saying that, Yining recalled the scenes of celebrating the New Year when he was a child. Today's crappy experts have almost ruined those traditions. The New Year is becoming more and more boring!

Wu Bo and his companions traveled all the way to the capital and came to the Ministry of War with Luo Shixin's letter of introduction.

The receptionist at the Ministry of War knew that they were coming to see the Emperor to ask for reinforcements, so he left the documents and said,

"We will submit it to the Grand Council immediately, but today the Emperor and all the ministers have gone to Tianjin to welcome Prince Gong.

You guys go stay at the Royal Hotel first and wait for news there!"

Wu Bo and his companions followed a guide sent by the Ministry of War to the Royal Hotel. They were dazzled by the sight of it being so luxurious.

After asking about the price, Wu Bo turned around and left without saying a word. It was too expensive and he couldn't afford to live there!

It's not that I don't have money, but I'm like a stray dog ​​now. Why should I live in such a luxurious and comfortable place?

People from the Ministry of War found them an ordinary inn to stay in near the Ministry of War.

Two days later, Lord Lin Zexu took time out to meet with Wu Bo.

Lord Lin asked in detail about the situation in Myanmar. Seeing that Wu Bo was very anxious, he told him that the emperor was determined to send troops to drive out the British.

However, there were some different voices in the court, so he was told to stay and wait for news.

When I heard that they were not staying at the Royal Hotel, I asked with concern whether they had no money for travel.

Wu Bodao,

"Sir, we have money for the journey, but now we are like dogs that have lost their homes. Our elders and fellow villagers are suffering, how can we have the face to enjoy comfort!

Please, Lord, report to His Majesty and ask him to send troops as soon as possible. I, Wu Bo, will be happy even if I have to eat coarse food!"

Lin Zexu nodded approvingly.

"General Wu, it's been said since ancient times that 'a king does not raise an army out of anger'. We must carefully consider the matter of sending troops!"

Wu Bo was a little anxious.

"Master, my king has been asking the emperor to send troops for two or three months, but the court still hasn't made a decision?"

Lord Lin Zexu frowned.

"When the army moves, the lives of countless soldiers are in jeopardy. I don't know how many parents have lost their sons, how many wives have lost their husbands, and how many children have lost their fathers!

There are also ammunition, weapons, and logistical supplies. As a general, you should know that more planning leads to victory, and less planning leads to defeat.

Our emperor cares most about the people, so he must be cautious!"

Wu Bo was speechless after hearing these words. Lin Zexu's words already contained a hint of blame. He was just too concerned and confused!

They have no connection with you, and it doesn't belong to you nor does it owe you anything. Why should they send troops to rescue you as soon as they hear you call for help? Who are they to you?

Moreover, Lord Lin made it clear that war will result in casualties, and a lot of them. No matter which head of the family is in this situation, he must consider it carefully.

Wu Bo said ashamedly,

"Old Master, I was impatient. Please forgive me!"

Lin Zexu's expression eased and he said,

"General Wu, please rest assured and stay here. I will naturally remind the Emperor!

The capital is very prosperous now, and there are many places to go. You can relax more!

If you feel tired of waiting, you can go to the Royal Cadre Training Class to audit the courses.

This is a pass. The Emperor also goes there regularly to give lectures!"

His country was being ravaged by the invaders, and his fellow countrymen were being enslaved by the invaders. Wu Bo had no mind to listen to the lectures and did not take it seriously at the time.

After talking with Lin Zexu, Wu Bo realized that it was useless to be anxious, so he suppressed his anxiety and waited for news from the palace.

When he had nothing to do, he would take a few of his men around the capital, and in the blink of an eye, more than ten days had passed.

After spending these days in Beijing, I realized that China today has become very different from my own country.

The neat and clean streets, the shops lined on both sides of the streets, and the wide variety of goods in the shops are so enviable.

People on the streets are filled with smiles, they greet each other politely when they meet, and there are children running around freely on the streets. This is a country of etiquette!

What is even more surprising is that there is not a single beggar on the street.

After asking around, I found out that all the homeless elderly people were admitted to nursing homes and were being cared for by the government.

The homeless children all entered the Royal School, where they not only had enough food and clothes but also could study.

Wu Bo and the others were very surprised. The emperor is the Bodhisattva who saves people from suffering!

At night, the lights are as bright as daylight, and the various snack stalls that are still steaming hot in the cold wind late at night make people linger.

There are all kinds of snacks from all over the world, such as steamed buns, wontons, braised pork, and dumplings.

There is no curfew, no eviction, only a team of fully armed police patrolling in an orderly manner every few minutes!

This is the fireworks in the world!

The follower's eyes were full of greed, and he swallowed his saliva.

"General, when will our country be able to live like this?"

Wu Bo sighed and patted his shoulder.

"We are all unlucky people, not having been born in this blessed land of China!"

What surprised Wu Bo and the others even more were the three-wheeled and four-wheeled vehicles speeding past.

This iron thing can actually pull so many things and run so fast. Is it the devil or goblin in the legend?

What does it eat and drink, and why can it run?

I heard that these strange things seemed to be invented by the emperor.

Wu Bo and the others were both envious and helpless. How could they not have such an emperor?

Originally, Wu Bo was hoping for news of the imperial court sending troops before the New Year, but as the New Year approached, he gradually gave up hope.

It's already the 20th day of the twelfth lunar month. In a few days the emperor will have a holiday to prepare for the New Year, so there will be no news.

However, he still did not give up. Since he had nothing to do anyway, he went to the Ministry of War to inquire about the news.

I accidentally heard an official say that the emperor was going to give a lecture at a cadre training class today.

He suddenly remembered that Lord Lin had told him about it and even gave him a pass.

He slapped his head in regret, wondering how he could have forgotten about this. Wu Bo decided to go to class today to see what the emperor looked like!

It was half past eight, and the emperor was going to start his lecture at nine o'clock sharp, so there was still time.

He entered the training class smoothly with his pass.

This is not an ordinary classroom, it is a large auditorium.

The seats inside were already full, and the outer aisles were also crowded with people, so Wu Bo could only stand outside.

It turned out that the emperor's class was an open one, and anyone who was qualified could attend without any restrictions.

Wu Bo thought that the emperor's lectures must be solemn and dignified, and everyone knelt down to listen to his teachings.

I never thought that the situation would be like this, and it seems that the students below can sit down.

At exactly nine o'clock, Yining walked into the classroom.
