Chapter 1003 Tanaka Chengichi's Datong Theory
"Great Harmony is an ideal social form. In fact, the complexity of human nature cannot be controlled by manpower? You might as well understand it as a scholar's fantasy." Huang Zongxi didn't understand why Tanaka Chengyi discussed "Book of Rites" with him at this time Datong society in China.

Chengichi Tanaka fell into silent thinking: "If the purpose of "Book of Rites" is just to put forward a fantasy and persuade people to learn etiquette, I think it will be in vain after another ten 2000 years, because human nature is inherently evil."

"Your thinking is too extreme. Human nature is a chaotic body between good and evil. It is necessary to educate them to be good, suppress the evil part, and make goodness dominate." Huang Zongxi denied Tanaka Chengichi's idea.

"But teacher, the reason why people are good is only because of the stipulations of the law. They do things they don't want to do because they care about other people's eyes and other external pressures. They are not driven by people's hearts. Therefore, it is said that human nature is inherently evil, and strict laws must be followed. Let the law control them. The Huaxia Society I lead is to overthrow the autocratic rule of the shogunate, strictly enforce the law, and let the law override the samurai. The samurai now have many privileges, and their privileges must be completely abolished! "Tanaka Chengyi advocated.

"I know that you are full of hatred for samurai as a farmer, but both the law and education are means of persuading people to be good. The law determines the lower limit, and education is to help people infinitely expand the upper limit. I want to make Datong society The utopian dream becomes a reality, but also depends on education. If all the people receive education, then they will unite to pursue rights, once anyone's rights are violated, the people will resist together.” Huang Zongxi repeatedly emphasized the importance of education .

"Does the whole people receive education... That's right, teacher, just imagine, if all the people have inexhaustible food and wealth, will people still go to embezzlement, suspect each other, and doubt each other?" Tanaka Chengyi suddenly had comprehended.

"Inexhaustible food, inexhaustible wealth, what era does it take? As you said, ten 2000 years is not enough." Huang Zongxi saw Tanaka Chengyi put forward a strange idea, but this time it did not I don't mean to object, but I feel very surprised.He didn't think that a Japanese person would be interested in the Datong society in "Book of Rites", and he seemed to want to practice it?

"Even if ten 2000 years cannot be achieved, Datong society will be achieved one day, and people will always see hope. I think it is better than no hope. And I hope that Datong from the Central Plains classic "Book of Rites" will be used as a The program of the Huaxia Society."

"Only China's technology is sufficiently developed, so it is possible to enter the Datong society under the leadership of China. I hope that our Huaxia Association will lead Dongying to become China's easternmost province." Tanaka Chengyi put forward the final idea.

Dongying Province? !The tea in Huang Zongxi's hand almost spilled out, Tanaka Chengichi seemed a little paranoid.No wonder the Huaxia Society run by such a person has brought huge troubles to the shogunate in recent years.

"Merging Dongying into the Central Plains has never happened before." Huang Zongxi was a little surprised.

"In the South Vietnam region of China, a large piece of land outside of Shanhaiguan was never part of China's territory, but it was still connected as a single piece of land in the end. This is because the roads were blocked before. But it is different now. Now the sea routes are open, even in the Central Plains. It is also possible to control this place across the sea. I personally think that the plan of the Eastern Province Province was not feasible in ancient times, but if it is placed at this time, there is nothing wrong with it." Tanaka Chengyi said.

Huang Zongxi didn't know what Tanaka Chengichi was thinking, and he would save the country in such a curve.He didn't know whether Tanaka Chengichi's approach was right or wrong.

But one thing he also realized.Now there are only Huaxia, Koryo, and Dongying in the entire East Asian continent. The other small countries have been annexed. In the face of the mainland empire with a population of hundreds of millions, the country with a population of 1000 million in Dongying really cannot stay out of it.If you don't join, you may be beaten. Who can withstand the deliberate run of a powerful empire?
Tanaka Chengichi and Huang Zongxi stated their goals and were not worried about being leaked.The Tokyo Academy led by Huang Zongxi is the headquarters of their Huaxia Society, and because of the protection of the Tokyo Academy, the backbone of the Huaxia Society escaped the fate of being detained by the shogunate several times.

After Tanaka Chengyi came out of the Tokyo Academy, several backbones of the Huaxia Society were waiting outside. When they saw Tanaka Chengyi, they said, "President, the price of rice in the city has risen sharply, and the people are complaining. This is why our Huaxia Society seized power." good time!"

"Don't worry, everyone. Our Huaxia Society has been developing secretly in the past two years. It has [-] members. It is no longer a target that the shogunate can handle at will. But we still have to be cautious. We must be foolproof before we can attack, because the shogunate Your power is still stronger than ours." Tanaka Cheng's eyes flickered, and he didn't want to easily show his cards to the shogunate.

I'm afraid the shogunate didn't know that the Huaxia Society had grown to a scale of [-] members.

"General Shi Daxuan of the Beiyang Fleet invites you to secretly go to Yokohama Port to discuss big issues." A letter sent by a key member of the Beiyang Fleet.

"Did the Kyushu Army notice something?" Tanaka Chengyi learned that Shi Daxuan, the deputy commander of the Beiyang Fleet, invited him to discuss matters. He had a premonition that the Kyushu Army knew the secret of rising food prices.

"Shall we leave immediately for the port of Yokohama?"

"There must be spies from the shogunate around to monitor our activities. Let's go back to the Tokyo Academy first and leave Edo Castle by secret means." Tanaka Chengyi has experienced the assassination of the shogunate assassins, and has more experience in fighting the shogunate.

Outside the Tokyo Academy, as Tanaka Seiichi said, there were spies from the shogunate specially monitoring the entrance and exit.The Beiyang Fleet was behind the Huaxia Society, which was a big headache for the shogunate, but the shogunate did not dare to move them for the time being, so they had to use intelligence personnel to secretly monitor the high-level officials of the Huaxia Society to prevent them from carrying out special plots.

"Why did they return to the Tokyo Academy when they were preparing to come out? Did they know that we were watching them?" one of the shogunate spies asked.

"The Huaxia Society must know our existence, and even they have eyes and ears to monitor the shogunate ministers. The unification war will start soon, and they must not be allowed to make trouble during this time. If they have a big conspiracy, even if they want to resort to violence Stop them too."

"If I were the shogun, I would definitely arrest them by force. How could I tolerate them continuing to grow?"

"Do you think that the higher-ups have not arrested the Huaxia Society? What's the use of that? When the Beiyang Fleet speaks, don't they want to obediently release them?"
