When the ancestor said this, he felt proud and the smoke became strong: "Liu Yu, look at me, now there is no body, here is like clouds and smoke. No matter how strong your martial arts are, what can you do to me? This is magic power and immortal arts, not the so-called technology that you later mortals can break. If you cooperate with me, you can also have endless lifespans. If you don't like to sacrifice living people and collect their souls, you can also turn yourself into a saint king, just like the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, Taoism and Three Pure Land, let mortals always worship you with incense. In this way, you can turn yourself into a god, and ask mortals to do this and that as a god, do they dare not obey?"

Liu Yu shook his head calmly: "Old demon, all your thoughts are high above human beings, and they are giving orders as God. This is the biggest difference between me and you. You regard human beings as beasts and can be slaughtered at will, believing that they have no thoughts and brains, and can never create technology that gods cannot create by themselves. I don't think so at all. I don't want to talk to you now. You just need to listen quietly to what happened after our era and the Qing Dynasty."

The ancestor sneered, "I want to hear how the Qing Dynasty, which has always been ruled by kings and people are like ants, has become the heavenly kingdom you call it. It has been thousands of years since now. But in what you say, the Qing Dynasty is no different from today. The upper kings and nobles still drive the people like cattle and sheep. Even if these people at the bottom are brave and willing to serve the country with their lives, they cannot reverse and change the world. Regardless of whether the Beiyang Navy warship you mentioned hit the Yoshino, the Qing Dynasty will definitely lose in this war. Don't tell me that the Qing Dynasty won."

Liu Yu nodded and said, "Your judgment is not a problem this time. The Qing Dynasty did lose, and it lost a lot. The warship that bravely hit the Yoshino did not hit the Yoshino in the end, and was sunk. Although the Beiyang Navy suffered a greater loss in this naval battle, it can be said that it barely fought a draw. However, the minister of the Beiyang Navy was afraid that his fleet would be damaged, so he ordered to avoid the war and not leave the port. He sat on the verge of Japan to obtain the power of sea control and sent the army and supplies to the Korean Peninsula. In addition, the Qing army's army was about to collapse. In just a few months, Japan occupied the entire North Korea and fought until Liaodong."

"Not only that, the Japanese Navy also covered their army. In the port where the Beiyang Navy was stationed, in today's Qingzhou area, the Qing army's fortress fell, and these cannons that were originally used to defend the port were turned around to bombard the Beiyang Navy. Therefore, this naval fleet that was originally arrogant in the East was destroyed. After the war, Japan massacred the city and killed people at the port of Lushun where it landed, killing almost all the people of the entire city. These atrocities of war later ran through Japan's previous invasion of China."

The ancestor said in a deep voice: "It was indeed a defeat. However, in the concept of war in China for thousands of years, there was no civilian. Prisoners of war could save their lives. The country was destroyed and the whole country was slaves. Life and death were controlled by the enemy's king. From this perspective, it was reasonable for the lower-class people and soldiers of the Qing Dynasty to fight to the death. The Beiyang Navy at that port was the number one enemy of the Japanese army in this war and caused huge losses to them. Therefore, after destroying the Beiyang Navy, slaughtering retaliatedly is inevitable for military strategists. This is like a city that resolutely resists. After breaking down, it will also slaughter the enemy's courage. Liu Yu, you are a military strategist, and you should understand that these are conventional practices."

Liu Yu said sternly: "I am a military strategist, but I will never accept this kind of practice of massacre of cities and people. When fighting, it is a battle between the two armies, and it is upright, while the people are innocent. They produce, pay taxes, and serve for the country. Even if they fall into the hands of the enemy, they should not kill at will. Even if they fall into the hands of the enemy, they should not kill at will. Even the Confucianism and Zhou Li in the Central Plains should also talk about benevolence and righteousness. In modern times, the natural human rights of the Western powers and the saying that civilians are innocent is in line with this set of etiquette. The so-called "those who win the hearts of the people win the world. If they slaughter the city at will after victory, they will inevitably fight to the death. In the end, it will only be a reversal of the offensive and defensive momentum without giving out benevolence and righteousness."

The ancestor laughed: "The places that are most resolute in resistance and can scare the enemy country the most are either the capital or the military fortress. These places are slaughtered and destroyed, so that the world can know the consequences of resistance. These hard truths are more important than what you said about benevolence and righteousness. Human rights are more important than the Qin State. When he took the world, he slaughtered cities and pitted prisoners everywhere. Would it prevent them from unifying the world? On the contrary, in order to quickly unify, King Yingzheng of Qin did not surrender or kill them later, and even retained old officials of the six countries and small landlords to manage the old lands of the six countries. In the end, after death, the world was in chaos, Chen Sheng, Wu Guang, Liu Bang and Xiang Yu. If he slaughtered everywhere and established his authority, how could Qin be destroyed?"

Liu Yu sneered: "There is nonsense. Qin State died in the second lifetime because it did not perform benevolence and righteousness. Violence cannot exist forever. Once the Qin State's military strength is not that strong, or because of internal fighting among the upper class, the opportunity for the people of the world to turn over and take revenge will come. Later Japan also only learned the tiger-wolf nature of Qin State, but did not know what benevolence and righteousness are. They vented their anger and massacre of the city in Lushun Port. Not only did they not scare the Chinese people, but they also made the whole country hate the enemy and the people's spirit can be used."

"Old devil, I tell you, what are the principles you said about the kings and nobles who enjoyed comfortably and drove the people to die? Don't the people know about these principles? But even so, they still joined the army and served the country without hesitation, and died. Do you think they are stupid or stupid? They want to fight and die for those emperors, queen mothers, or corrupt officials who have never seen in their lifetime, thousands of miles away?"
