Chapter 131: The Imperialism (4)
Historically, when Japan cleaned up the Manchu Qing Dynasty, it showed extraordinary skills, which was simply a grasp of one accurate. Weeser used to think that the Manchus were too wasteful, but now he doesn't think so. The Tokugawa shogunate ruled Japan for 300 years, and this regime was undoubtedly the Manchu government in Japan. In the Meiji Restoration, the Japanese Restorationists completely solved the Tokugawa shogunate, and they could not have had a deep understanding of this rotten regime. It is an inevitability rather than an accident that Japan's understanding of the Manchus is greater than that of China's understanding of the Manchus.
Before the political bureau meeting to discuss the issue of dealing with Japan, Wei Ze felt very embarrassed. Publicly stating that the Japanese revolution was strangled in the cradle, Weizer's intellect was able to accept this approach, but Weizer's morality made him very resistant to this approach. Therefore, when Wei Ze convened the first meeting, the people he convened were very conservative, Shen Xin, Wei Changrong, and Zuo Zongtang.
Among these three people, Wei Changrong is Wei Ze's ironcore, Wei Ze's will is Wei Changrong's will, Shen Xin is in charge of the government, he can best understand the meaning of the revolution, but Shen Xin is not the kind of revolutionary fundamentalism. If it was a comrade like Wang Mingshan who demanded a thorough revolution, Wei Ze was very worried that Wang Mingshan would support a more radical revolutionary policy in Japan. For example, in Japan, land reform was carried out.
As for Zuo Zongtang, this guy is an old-school figure, and Wei Ze's purpose in calling him is very long, hoping that someone who is more "backward" than himself can say some "nonsense". This kind of nonsense, if it doesn't add depth and breadth to the discussion, can make Weser feel that he is not the worst person.
Zuo Zongtang didn't expect that Wei Ze would actually change his order, saying that he would let Zuo Zongtang gather the Chu army and conquer the natives in the South China Sea. Before Zuo Zongtang recruited the guys in the Chu army who were willing to come out to fight, Wei Ze immediately changed his hexagram.
Regardless of whether Wei Changrong and Shen Xin knew about this matter, Zuo Zongtang opened his mouth and asked, "Your Majesty, can the matter of conquering the natives be put down like this?" ”
"I've got a better candidate." Weese replied. The Japanese mercenaries were far better than the Chu army in terms of combat effectiveness and brutality. Regardless of whether the Chu army is bad or not, Wei Ze believes that the Chu army is also Chinese, and let the Chinese become killing beasts, which is a fact that Wei Ze cannot accept. But spending money to hire Japanese mercenaries is different, the purpose of Japanese mercenaries is to make money, they hope to return to Japan to live a good life after taking the money, even if the killing distorts their souls, they will return to Japan after taking the money, that is Japan's problem and not China's problem. Problems that can be solved with money are never difficult problems. Creating a group of brutal China is not a problem that money can solve. Even if Weese used the army to kill all these guys in the end, it would only make things worse. What reason did Weese use for the army to raise a butcher's knife against his own people?
Zuo Zongtang saw that Wei Ze was serious, and he knew that he couldn't change Wei Ze's mind. He sat in his seat with a puffed up, looking unhappy.
Wei Ze didn't care about Zuo Zongtang's displeasure at all, he said: "I am ready to intervene in the Japanese revolution, and I want you to do me a favor in this matter, how to make this kind of action not affect the comrades' understanding of the Chinese revolution." ”
Shen Xin and Wei Changrong both listened quietly, the two of them had gone through so many years of training, and they had long recognized the danger of self-righteousness. So they were able to remain silent until they figured out what the other person was thinking.
Compared with the perception of the world, no one in the Liberation Party can compare with Wei Ze. Wei Ze can still have an overall level of understanding of Japan, Shen Xin, Wei Changrong, and Zuo Zongtang do not know much about Japan, and listen to the emperor, the shogunate, and the local domains, including the changes from the Warring States period to the Tokugawa shogunate. Listening to Weizer's "judgment" on the future of Japan, the Japanese revolutionaries, who were still weak, wanted to overthrow the shogunate and establish a new Japanese regime.
Everyone felt like they had heard a complex and legendary story.
Zuo Zongtang was very unhappy, but he soon listened. Although Weeser's narration is somewhat unclear, Weesser's narration is profound enough for the changes over the past few hundred years. Wei Ze's description of Japan's future made Zuo Zongtang feel more and more strange the more he listened to it. Under normal circumstances, it should be that his subordinates are more knowledgeable than Wei Ze, the monarch, but in the current situation, unless Wei Ze is talking nonsense, there is a strange reality, as a monarch, Wei Ze has more extensive knowledge than his subordinates. And this monarch, who was far more powerful than his subordinates in terms of knowledge, ability, and cognitive level, sought the opinions of his subordinates with a very high style, hoping that the suppression of foreign revolutions would not affect the Chinese's sense of recognition of the nobility of the revolution.
This TM is so weird!
Shen Xin didn't say a word after hearing this, and Wei Changrong said tentatively: "Why do we have to worry about foreigners? What do Japanese affairs do to us Chinese? ”
Weeser shook his head, "If, in the future, when we encounter a domestic dilemma, someone proposes to suppress the revolution, and they use the way we treat Japan as an example, then it will be terrible." ”
Shen Xin asked, "How do you say this?"
"We are now starting with the agrarian revolution and gradually moving into the industrial revolution. But after the Industrial Revolution, there were naturally problems brought about by the Industrial Revolution. Surely you don't think that anything is only good and not bad, right? When these disadvantages are gradually revealed, there will certainly be a large number of people who want to solve the immediate problem immediately, rather than starting from the perspective of system reform. At that time, a constant revolution will turn into a constant war. The way of heaven is to make up for the deficiency when there is more than is lost. The way of man, otherwise, the loss is not enough to give more than enough. If this continues, it will inevitably turn into internal repression and external aggression. If there is not enough land, go to the outside to rob it, and if the wealth is not enough, go to the outside world. Weeser was serious about building on the history he had seen.
But the people who listened didn't have such a deep historical insight, and even though these people were very knowledgeable, their eyes were still wide open.
"Internal repression, external aggression. It's a solution, and I'm not worried that it's not going to work, I'm worried that if I think that's the only way to solve the problem, it's over. Later, Wei Ze said that he was also a little excited.
Wei Changrong was silent, Zuo Zongtang was a little confused, and Shen Xin said: "Didn't the governor say that the only way to solve future problems is iron and blood? Is that what you mean by this? ”
Wei Ze felt a sense of relief in his heart, it is very difficult to have a confidant, especially if there are comrades on this ideological issue, it is enough to make people feel relieved. He sighed, nodded and replied, "That's it." At this stage, iron and blood are the only means to solve the problem, but it does not mean that iron and blood are the only means to solve the problem in the future. That's what worries me. The means employed in the revolution are only means, and if the means seem to succeed and in turn replace the revolution, it will be a complete tragedy. I don't want to see such a tragedy. ”R1058
