Daming: I help my wife be the empress

Chapter 51 The Shame of the Late Qing Dynasty

"Of course more than that." Auntie Zhu laughed, "Not only can it sing operas, it can also sing some songs from later generations, it can recite poems, and it can do simple arithmetic."

"Songs from later generations?" The red lady seemed to have turned into a curious baby, hugging the doll tightly and looking at Aimee Zhu, her almond eyes were full of anticipation.

Auntie Zhu immediately said: "Xiaoke Xiaoke, sing a song "Serving the Country with Loyalty"."

"Okay, now I'll play Tu Honggang's "Serving the Country With Loyalty" for you."

Immediately, loud music sounded from the doll, scaring Hong Niang so much that she barely threw it out.

Then I heard the singing of a bold and vigorous man.

"War smoke rises, the country looks north

The dragon flag rolls, the horse neighs, and the sword is like frost
Heart like the vast waters of the Yellow River

Who can resist in 20 years..."

This "Xiao Ke" is actually a "smart" puppet that Hao Guangming bought online for Aunt Zhu. It can be used as a toy and can also teach children some knowledge.

It will store excerpts from the Yu opera "Mulan", "Serving the Country with the Loyalty", etc., of course Hao Guangming downloaded them specially.

Because in the plan, Hao Guangming originally wanted Zhu Yu to use this thing to prove to Li Yan and Hong Niangzi that she could travel to later generations.

Now that this thing is being given to Hong Niangzi, probably only Auntie Zhu would shrug.

She hasn't played enough with this puppet.

It's just that she was very obedient, and when she learned that her sister wanted to use it, she gave it with heartache.

When Aimee Zhu returned to Daming with the puppet, Hao Guangming promised to buy the same doll, which made Aimee Zhu happier.

After a while, Li Yan and Hong Niangzi were still unable to recover for a while after listening to "Serving the Country with Loyalty".

Because this song is too nice and shocking for the two of them.

"I didn't expect the songs of the later generations to be so beautiful, and it was sung by a man." The red lady looked at the doll's almond eyes, and couldn't put it down.

Li Yan said with emotion: "Although the lyrics of this song are simple and plain, it has a grand artistic conception, as if it was specially sung for those soldiers who sacrificed their lives and shed blood for the defense of the country. The emotion is sincere, and even I was moved after listening to it. "

Hao Guangming couldn't help smiling after hearing this.

I thought to myself, this Li Yan's comment is not bad, if I study it in later generations, I will definitely be better than the judges of some singing talent shows.

At this time, the red lady is already eager to try.

Holding the doll lightly in both hands, she said softly, "Xiao Ke Xiao Ke, recite a poem for me?"

Although later generations can understand what Hong Niangzi said, it is definitely not Mandarin, and it is even different from the Henan dialect of later generations. It should belong to a certain dialect in Henan in the Ming Dynasty.

Then an embarrassing scene appeared.

"Sorry, I don't know what you're talking about."

The red lady was taken aback for a moment, and then asked dumbfoundedly: "This little thing won't recognize the master again, right? Why can't you understand what I say?"

Auntie Zhu smiled politely, and said, "It's easier to understand what I just said."

In fact, Auntie Zhu can't speak standard Mandarin either, and those few sentences just now were also practiced many times to make "Xiao Ke" from mentally retarded to intelligent.

At this moment, Li Yan coughed lightly, imitating Auntie Zhu's pronunciation before saying: "Xiao Ke Xiao Ke, memorize a poem "Out of the Frontier"."

"Excuse me, is it Wang Changling's "Out of the Fortress" or Xu Xilin's "Out of the Fortress"?"

Hearing that Xiaoke actually understood Li Yan's words and gave a response, Hong Niangzi couldn't help but glared at Li Yan jealously.

Li Yan looked at Aimee Zhu curiously and said, "Who is this Xu Xilin?"

It was also the first time Zhu Yu heard of this name, but she had also encountered poems of the same name written by later generations before.

So he said: "It should be a poet after our Ming dynasty."

Li Yan originally wanted to hear Xiao Ke recite Wang Changling's Out of the Fortress, but now he changed his mind and wanted to see the later poet's "Out of the Fortress".

So he cleared his throat again, and said in an authentic tone: "Xu Xilin's "Out of the Fortress"."

"Okay, I will recite Xu Xilin's "Out of the Frontier" for you."

"A military song should be sung with a ring of swords, to destroy the Hunu and leave Yuguan.

Only undo the battlefield and die for the country, why return the shrouded body of horse leather. "

After listening, Hong Niangzi said thoughtfully: "This poem sounds good, I can understand part of it, and it's quite imposing."

Li Yan said with emotion: "I really didn't expect that later generations could write such poems with the majestic style of Han and Tang Dynasties, no wonder they dared to have the same name as Wang Changling's frontier poems.

Does the princess know what kind of person Xu Xilin is?Presumably, even if he is not a border guard general, he is still a literati with military experience, right? "

Aimee Zhu is actually quite curious about the resume of this later poet.

On the other side, Hao Guangming did the same, so he checked Xu Xilin's information on the Internet and read it to Auntie Zhu.

Auntie Zhu thought about it again and told Li Yan.

She said: "This person is neither a border guard nor a literati with military experience.

In fact, he was an anti-Qing warrior in the late Qing Dynasty. He once assassinated the governor of a province in the Qing court, and then captured the arsenal in the city to revolt. Unfortunately, he failed and was killed. "

After knowing who Xu Xilin was, Li Yan and Hong Niangzi not only looked at each other, but were quite surprised.

He didn't expect that Xu Xilin turned out to be their "colleague", both traitors.

It's just that they were against the Ming Dynasty, while Xu Xilin was against the Qing Dynasty.

At this time, Auntie Zhu said again: "It will be much more difficult for future generations to oppose the Qing Dynasty than it is for the two of you to oppose our Ming Dynasty at this time. At that time, muskets and cannons had made great progress, and their power was much greater than now.

But even so, the anti-Qing patriots in the late Qing Dynasty still revolted again and again. "

The red lady sneered, and said, "Why else? Dogs and government officials all have the same virtues, extortionate and exacting money, plundering the common people, forcing us ordinary people to have no way out."

Auntie Zhu shook her head, "More than that, because from our Ming Dynasty to the Qing Dynasty, the world is actually undergoing a major change that has never been seen in 3000 years.

This world refers to my Ming Dynasty and many other countries overseas.

Some of those countries are undergoing reforms, and some have successfully reformed. They have expanded their territories overseas and captured the interests of other countries.

For example, the Hongyi who sold the Hongyi Cannon to us in Daming is one of them.

At the end of the Qing Dynasty, after two or three hundred years of development, many of these overseas barbarians possessed extremely powerful muskets, cannons, and ships, and ran rampant all over the world, plundering and oppressing countries that were not as powerful as them.

Because the Qing court ruled billions of people of various ethnic groups, mainly Han people, after winning the world, the Qing court curbed the development of guns, artillery and other weapons, and tried its best to fool the people.

Therefore, at the end of the Qing Dynasty, our Shenzhou was successively breached by overseas barbarian cannon giants, forcing the Qing court to cede land and pay compensation, and signed countless shameful treaties with these barbarian countries.

Even later Japan, the country where the Japanese pirates were located, was able to force the Qing court to cede a large area of ​​territory and pay more than [-] million taels of silver.

At that time, the Qing court had actually become the eagle dog and accomplice of the overseas barbarians to exploit the people of China.

Later, even the capital city was captured by the Eight-Power Allied Forces, and the barbarians rushed into the capital to burn, kill, and loot. Even the two magnificent royal gardens built by several generations of emperors in the Qing court were looted and burned to nothing.

The country of the Yi people even established a country within a country in the capital, without being bound by the law, wantonly insulting our Chinese people, and even equating our Chinese people with dogs!

You said, if you lived in that humiliating era, would you resolutely fight against the Qing Dynasty? ! "

After hearing this, Li Yan and Hong Niangzi frowned and were speechless for a moment.

Hong Niangzi was a little hard to understand Zhu Yuxi's words.

After all, she has never been in contact with foreigners. In her eyes, the world is a Ming Dynasty.

It is hard for her to imagine her country being bullied by many other countries.

But she had heard about Japanese pirates.

Li Yan has a lot of knowledge and read a lot, but he can imagine the situation in the late Qing Dynasty.

Think about it, if Daming was bullied by surrounding countries such as Mongolia, North Korea, Japan, and Annan to the point of ceding land and paying compensation, or even helping these foreign countries exploit the people of Ming, then he might be so angry that he would bite his teeth and die. Will agree with such a court.

Compared with the Qing court in later generations, although the Ming Dynasty also left the people in dire straits, natural disasters were the main factor.

Moreover, the Ming Dynasty did not make peace, cede land, or pay compensation. The emperor Chongzhen even preferred to hang himself to die for the country after the capital was captured, and refused to surrender. He obviously had more backbone than the Qing court.

　Thank you [Extreme White] for your reward!
