"Bastard! For the rise of China, you should serve the court and train a new army instead of rebelling against your superiors and committing an unforgivable crime!”
Li Zhun's emotions suddenly exploded. He roared in front of Li Donghan in a low voice, and his angry eyes were filled with anger.
He felt that Li Donghan had done too much wrong. Not only had he implicated the Li family, but he had also ruined the future of the Chinese army.
He knew Li Donghan's ability. If Li Donghan continued on his original path, he would become the big boss of the Chinese Army sooner or later, and the Chinese Army would rise because of him.
However, everything was different now. Although Li Donghan had occupied Huacheng, Li Zhun did not think that Li Donghan could win.
Although the current Qing Dynasty was in turmoil, a sick tiger could still show its might, let alone a once huge empire.
Although Li Donghan's new army was elite, there were too few people. When the nearby provinces received the news, they would definitely send reinforcements.
At that time, facing the encirclement of the Qing army, no matter how capable Li Donghan was, there was not much hope.
Li Zhun really could not bear to see Li Donghan fall because of this. This was not only heartbreaking to him, but also a loss for China!
Fengshan had long since sealed off the news of Wuchang's incident. Even Li Zhun did not know about it at this time. Otherwise, he would not have thought so.
Li Donghan was not angry at Li Zhun's scolding. As a junior, this was something he should bear. He knew that Li Zhun was doing this for his own good. It was just that the thinking of the times had shackled Li Zhun's horizons.
He had been a loyal minister of the Qing Dynasty for his entire life, but in his later years, he had to encounter such a thing. He just couldn't accept it.
"China is China, not Manchu China. I am loyal to China, not Manchu China! The Manchu Qing stole China's orthodoxy, causing the gap between China and the foreign powers to widen!”
"They even signed a traitorous treaty, sacrificing the interests of China to protect the rule of the Qing Dynasty! Such an imperial court cannot represent the interests of China!”
"Donghan's actions today are for the sake of our China no longer being enslaved by the Tartars, no longer being bullied by the foreign powers. The Chinese should stand up!”
Li Donghan said firmly. The era had already decided the end of the Qing Dynasty, leaving only the scarred land of China!
The Chinese must be reborn because of this! Donghan had to do something about it too. He couldn't let China repeat the old warlord wars that had been going on for years, draining China's vitality and allowing Japan to invade.
"Ridiculous! The Qing Dynasty is the Qing Dynasty. There's no difference. As for those agreements, they were completely forced."
Li Zhun's face was still gloomy, but he did not have the same imposing manner as before. He must have been very clear about what Li Donghan had said, and he had personally felt the Manchu people's rejection and suppression of the Han people.
Therefore, he said this with a weaker aura. However, he felt that he could not show weakness in front of Li Donghan. Li Donghan's actions were simply a rebellion.
However, Li Donghan shook his head and smiled bitterly. He knew that it was very difficult to change Li Zhun's stubborn thinking. If it were any other Qing army general, Li Donghan would not have said any nonsense and would have given him a choice between life and death with a gun.
But this person was Li Zhun! Li Donghan was also a little helpless!
"Uncle, there's something I have to tell you. Just last night, the new army in Hubei launched an uprising. They have now occupied Wu Han and declared independence! This matter had been sealed off by Fengshan early in the morning, so very few people knew!”
"But do you know what this means? It meant that the fate of the Qing court had come to an end. First, it was Hubei, then my eastern Guangdong. Soon, more and more provinces would declare independence! The Qing Dynasty was finished. This was the trend of the times, and no one could change it!”
"Even if Donghan doesn't cause trouble today, there will be others tomorrow! The Manchu Dynasty had lost the hearts of the people. China must change!”Li Donghan said in a deep voice. He still wanted to persuade Li Zhun as much as possible.
It would be best if he could change his mind. If he could not, Li Donghan would not do anything to him!
Hearing Li Donghan's words, Li Zhun was shocked at first, then fell silent. The rebellion of the Hubei New Army had succeeded. He did not think that Li Donghan would lie to him about such a matter.
That would be a little troublesome. First, it would be Hubei, then eastern Guangdong. Things might really cause a chain reaction like what Donghan said.
Could it be that the Qing Dynasty had really come to an end? Li Zhun had been loyal to the Qing Dynasty for his entire life. For a moment, he found it difficult to accept such an outcome.
But now, things were no longer something he could change!
Perhaps he was really lagging behind and getting old! Li Zhun sighed in his heart!
"You don't have to say anything more. I, Li Zhun, have been loyal to the Qing Dynasty for my entire life. I will never betray the Qing Dynasty!”Li Zhun said firmly.
Even though he was disappointed and felt powerless, he still had to be firm in his bottom line. He would not rebel with Li Donghan.
Li Donghan also knew Li Zhun's stubbornness. It would be difficult to change his mind after saying so much, so he knew that it was useless to say anything else!
"Since Uncle isn't willing to participate in the revolution, Donghan won't force you. After East Guangdong is peaceful, Uncle can do whatever you want!”
"However, Donghan hopes that Uncle can order the navy soldiers to put down their weapons. Donghan promises not to harm them. After the military government is established, those who are willing to go home will be given travel expenses. Those who are willing to participate in the revolution will naturally be welcomed!”
"They are all elite naval warriors of China. They should not be lost in the civil war! We should also preserve the last essence of China!”
Li Donghan said in a deep voice. This was also the reason why he had come to see Li Zhun. The Huacheng Squadron was the last elite fleet of China. If he controlled it, Li Donghan would have an advantage in the future battles.
Moreover, Donghan sincerely wanted to develop the navy. He knew that if China wanted to rise, it was necessary to have a strong navy.
Although the Huacheng Squadron was still weak, they were still a seed, a hope! It was the foundation for the Chinese Navy to become stronger!
It was really a pity to lose them in the civil war, and this matter could be considered to be in Li Zhun's heart.
He was the one who cared about the Huacheng Fleet the most. He thought for a moment and sighed,""Forget it! Let me see how far your revolution can go and what China will become in the future!”
