Chapter 49 Who is the world (1)

Chapter 49 Whose world (I)

Two days later.

Albat Street is a very distinctive street in Moscow.

This street is built by the river and has pleasant scenery. At that time, there were many Russian nobles' mansions. Tolstoy, Pushkin and other families lived here. A hundred years later, it was a well-known tourist attraction in Moscow. Of course, Zheng Yu didn't know about this. He just watched the surrounding street scenes while listening to Keshan's explanation.

At this moment, he was dressed like a traditional Russian gentleman, with a Russian-style square scarf covering the lower half of his cheeks.

No. 32... This is Pushkin's former residence. No. 28, arrived.

This is a typical Russian-style four-story apartment building, each with a balcony with clothes hanging on it. Zheng Yu turned around and smiled behind him, and ignored the plainclothes spies from the special Tsarist Russian troops. He took Ke Shan and two guards Qiu Haiyang and Ding Wu into it.

Room 202.

Zheng Yu had already heard the sound of people talking in the room. He stood calmly and Ke Shan had already started knocking on the door.

"Bang."

A moment later, a crack was opened in the door of Room 202. A young man in his twenties pressed against the door and asked softly: "Who?"

Ke Shan said: "Old friends from home come to Moscow for a trip. I heard that Mr. Li is here, so I came to visit him."

The young man looked back suspiciously, and a gentle voice came from inside: "Since you are a domestic guest, please come in and sit together."

The young man turned back and nodded, opening the door.

Zheng Yu and others walked in.

Zheng Yu glanced into the house and saw that it was a spacious living room, about 30 square meters. Three men of different ages were sitting around drinking tea. At this moment, they all looked up at the door.

The oldest is about forty years old, wearing a pair of big glasses, a thin figure, and dressing up in a very ordinary home look. He puts a gray-green wool sweater on his body and a pair of thick slippers. The man looked quiet and looked at the uninvited guests with a smile.

There were two people sitting around him, both of whom were about twenty-seven or eight years old, and they were all very ordinary Russian youth dressed. One of them had a fair face, a face that was worried about the country and the people, and was very typical... angry young man. The other one was tall and thin, with a deep eye socket, a tall nose bridge, and wearing a pair of large glasses. His appearance was very different from the traditional Chinese, and his face was more like a white man.

Zheng Yu smiled: "Mr. Yingren, the uninvited guest suddenly came and was disturbed."

He took the slippers handed over by the young man who opened the door, leaned over and changed it, and untied the wool scarf on his face.

The middle-aged man in his forties looked at Zheng Yu, and his face gradually became weird.

“You are…”

Zheng Yu bowed respectfully: "Mr. Zheng Yu, come to see sir."

"Zheng Yu? You...you..." The angry young man's expression changed drastically, and he stared at Zheng Yu and looked at him.

"It turns out to be His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." The middle-aged man quickly calmed down and stood up and bowed, "The palace is here, and the turquoise is shining. Dan Ru, give tea."

The young man who opened the door responded and turned around and ran to the kitchen.

Zheng Yu turned around and took the gift box from Qiu Haiyang and smiled slightly: "Mr. Yingren, I have always admired my demeanor and talent, and have also prepared some small profits. Mr. Yingren is a famous scholar in Hunan, and I happen to have some Piling tea from Guangji Temple in Hengyang. Although it is spring tea from the New Year, it is still carefully prepared and stored. I would like to ask Mr. Yingren and you all today to taste it."

The middle-aged man smiled but was completely uneasy and did not have any deliberate respect. He was just gentle and calm: "Your Highness is so kind, Li Da is ashamed to take... Shan Ru, change the tea, and today we will taste the Nanyue Yunwu Tea in our hometown together."

He turned around and introduced: "These two, one is Meng Hua and Meng Zuan, and the other is Vasilyev, whose father has Chinese descent... They are all talents who studied at Moscow University."

Zheng Yu looked at the two guests and knew that he was also visiting Li Da. As for his political stance, he saw the angry young man Meng Hua's expression of some bad intentions towards him, but he also knew about eight out of ten. As for the other Vasiliev, he must be Russian, but his appearance seemed to have some Chinese descent.

However, from the position of the crown prince, he was worried about the war. Now Zheng Yu was really interested in the so-called revolutionary youth. He greeted him enthusiastically on the surface, and he politely treated him a few times, and introduced his own people and sat down.

The middle-aged man looked at Zheng Yu for a while and smiled: "Your Highness's style is far better than the photos in the newspaper... The blessing of China, the blessing of China..."

Zheng Yu also smiled: "Mr.'s style is better than in the newspaper. But seeing that Mr.'s face is full of wind and frost, he must have worked hard to linger in Europe and the United States over the years. Mr. is worried about the people and is a role model for us."

"This time Zheng Yu came to visit, not for anything else, but wanted to be with him. At present, the Sino-Russian-Japanese war is about to break out, as it is said that the critical survival and death is coming." Zheng Yu went straight in, "Mr. He has a high opinion of state affairs. When the whole country works together to save the national fortune, although Yu is not talented, he is willing to follow the crowd and ask for advice from his teacher.

The middle-aged man was stunned, as if he didn't expect Zheng Yu to be so straightforward. However, he nodded immediately and said, "Everyone is responsible for the rise and fall of the country. His Highness Li Da's heart has said, what else can I say?"

"Li Da lingers in Russia this time to examine the pros and cons of the Russian monarchy, thinking that China can learn from it. After several months, he has already had experience in the European part of Russia." The middle-aged man smiled, "I dare not speak nonsense about the matters related to Russian friends, but generally speaking, it is all right."

Zheng Yu stood up and bowed, and said sincerely: "Yu Dai national, thank you sir."

He had already figured it out. Since he wanted to play the role of the "wise prince" who is humble and virtuous today, then he would play it to the end. Speaking of acting skills... In this era without TV and movies, even the frequency of the leaders' show is much lower. There should not be many people who can challenge brother in this regard?

Zheng Yu was also a little confused. No matter how he looked at the so-called overseas political dissident giant, it didn't seem to be hostile to himself, the representative of imperial autocracy. Instead, he was quite a bit of the intention of offering suggestions from the violent wise men. However, thinking about this person's proposition, it seemed that he was indeed a reformist thinker, not like a person who advocated violent revolution. At this point, Li Da became more and more pleasing to Zheng Yu's eyes.

"The Russian colleagues who advocate constitutional liberalism, such as Bellgayev and Milukov, have met in the lower houses and towns and villages in Russia, and have also investigated them. I have some experience in Russia's current situation. In a nutshell, China must not embark on the road of Tsarist Russia." Li Da said slowly, "The disadvantage of the Tsarist Russian system lies in the divine authority of the monarch, the country is superstitious about the Orthodox Church, and the Tsar also serves as the Orthodox Church.

In the supreme embodiment of the world, the unity of politics and religion, the people's thoughts became more and more ignorant and blindly followed; in the lack of parliamentary restraint, the strong monarch was arbitrarily and aggressive in military affairs, while the weak monarch is now under His Majesty Nicholas II, and is not aware of the sufferings of the people, but he still wants to use war to establish authority; in the fact that the hereditary aristocrats in Russia have become corrupt and the officialdom is terminally ill, so they must quickly implement constitutionalism to open the Duma in order to achieve smooth public opinion."

"Tsarist Russia has a vast territory and many ethnic groups have different customs, so it is difficult to maintain its rule. The Tsar had to authorize the governors of each district, which led to local officials' power and corruption prevailing, and the income of corrupt officials' private pockets is much more than that of the national treasury. Therefore, Russia's industry and commerce have always been in decline. The power of the monarch in this country is supreme, and the inheritance of blood cannot guarantee the monarch's wise and stupidity, so the national policy is uncertain and the national power is up. The poverty of the Russian masses and the chaos of the national finances.

The government is inefficient. Once a war begins, it can certainly be vigorously promoted by iron fist and tradition in the early stage. Once the war lasts for a long time, the burden on the people is intensified, and the domestic shortage of materials is incited, if some forces incite, national conflicts and class conflicts will inevitably converge and break out, and the regime will be overturned. This is the gain of the fool, and it is also the necessary disadvantage of the monarchy. I would like to present this to Your Highness to the Chinese Empress.”

Zheng Yu thought for a moment and bowed sincerely: "Mr. Zheng Yu remembers it."

At this time, the young people who opened the door had already come over with a tea tray and served tea. A fresh and refreshing fragrance made everyone feel refreshed. Li Da sipped it and said in some intoxication: "The color, fragrance and taste are all authentic. I guess it is royal tribute tea. I am lucky to taste it today, but I have to thank Your Highness for being kind."

Zheng Yu tasted it and felt it was really good. This is...authentic organic ancient tree tea? It seems that the ambassador to Russia, Fang Shijian, really knows some tea ceremony. After returning to China this time, he couldn't ask Hengyang to order a batch.

"Sir, I'm too proud. The tea leaves are pointed and long, shaped like swords. Soaked in boiling water, the petals spread out like flags and sinking at the bottom of the water, just like jade flowers, and the bright and colorful style. Especially the rich fragrance is refreshing, sweet and intoxicating, and it has both sweet and bitterness, which makes people savor for a long time." He talked about the tea classics in the spot and changed the tone, "Mr.'s opinion is similar to this tea, which is profound and diverse, but it can strengthen the country's body to prevent lesions."

His expression turned serious and his voice was also strong: "In the present world, it is a world of great struggle. All the powerful have implemented the strategy of kings and dominance, bullying the weak, and overwhelming the soft, and respecting the laws of the Western jungle everywhere. Now the world is divided up, and if it is not a great power, it is a colony and semi-colonial. Today, the powers are coveting in East Asia. Although China has established a unified nation-state, it still needs to be alert at all times and must not be self-confidence. Otherwise, the division of the great disaster will be in the present world. Today, Mr. Xu is the Russian precept, which is at the forefront of the current drawbacks, but he does not know that Mr. Xu has a high plan for today's China? But it is beneficial to national affairs, so I should tell Your Majesty."

Li Da and the two young men looked at Zheng Yu in surprise. Zheng Yu looked as usual, but just stared at Li Da with bright eyes.

"Your Highness really sees Wanli clearly." After a while, Li Da nodded, "I have been confused about the essence of Western civilized society before, thinking that its civilization and enlightenment must follow justice. The so-called colonization is also a means to help the wild and backward nations. But then I went through many countries downstream and finally realized it."

"Western philosophy is actually the philosophy of the strong. The so-called upholding justice is limited to the gentlemen and gentlemen, and between civilized society and civilized society. The so-called gentlemen are people with strength and independent personality; the so-called civilized society is a country that awakens the people and does not surrender to external violence, and is a country that is brave and powerful. If you want to be recognized by the great powers, you must have great power. And anyone who enters the great powers must have a battle for a strong country. In the eyes of these countries, the country that people have not opened and closed their eyes and listened to is actually a barbarian who has not been civilized, and they can be seized, slaughtered and plundered." Li Da said slowly, "So, what Your Highness said just now, it really awakens the world's famous saying. The talents of our country have many favors to the British and French powers, envy their democratic order, and think that it is the truth and right way of the world, but they do not know that China is actually a fish in the eyes of these people."

"The reason why my opinion is that if China wants to be in the world, it must first strengthen national defense, and national defense must depend on unification. Only by establishing a unified country and eliminating internal conflicts and internal frictions can one have national defense, and one can fight to enter a civilized society and stand proudly in the world."

Hearing this sentence, even the other two young people who visited were looking at Li Da in shock.

Zheng Yu was shocked and thought that this person was obviously an advocate of local autonomy. Why did he talk about unification when he came up?
