Chapter 492: The Way Out of Life (7)
There are many palaces in Nanjing that have been converted into museums, such as the Tianwang Mansion where Hong Xiuquan lived, which became the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom Museum. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info Alexander?? Ulyanov was not from a low background, he had entered the palace several times to participate in activities, for the Chinese-style palace, Alexander?? Ulyanov was more curious than amazed. Compared with the old buildings, the entire city of Nanjing outside the former palace left an indelible impression on the Russian youth.
Of course, there is naturally something that shakes these Russian youths within the former royal palace. The museum contains a large number of detailed historical introductions and various objects on display, which give these young people a very direct contact with the prelude to the grand Chinese revolution.
Beginning with the Kaneda Uprising, a very small number of people became tens of thousands. After the arduous battles in Guangxi, the Taiping army joined by Wei Ze began to crisscross the Yangtze River valley like a fierce tiger. Tens of thousands of people soon became 100,000, and Wei Ze marched thousands of kilometers in a month, and arrived at the city of Nanjing like a divine soldier. After the Taiping army conquered Nanjing, it became hundreds of thousands of people, and at that time, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, including Yang Xiuqing, the king of the east, Shi Dakai, the king of Qi, Wei Ze and other famous generals, was thriving, and it was about to sweep the world.
Alexander?? Ulyanov and his young comrades watched with some dazzle as an introduction to Weescher, who had made great achievements as commander of the Front between the ages of 20 and 22 during the heyday of the Taiping Army from 1853 to 1855. This great commander single-handedly fought against the vast majority of the main forces of the Manchus, and won successive victories.
When the external pressure decreased, the internal contradictions swelled, and the fire between the Heavenly King Hong Xiuquan and the Eastern King Yang Xiuqing buried the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. The Heavenly King Hong Xiuquan assassinated Wei Ze, the number one general under the command of the Eastern King, but Wei Ze, who went to his father-in-law's house to spend the night, escaped the catastrophe and immediately incorporated the former troops that were forcibly incorporated into the Eastern Wang's command and rushed out of Nanjing.
Seeing that Wei Ze was sitting on the largest and most powerful field army of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom at that time, he did not immediately fight back after escaping his life from the assassination, but chose to break off with the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom and lead the troops and the revolutionary masses to go south together. Alexander?? Ulyanov felt completely incomprehensible, all the field armies of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom combined were not the opponent of the 40,000 elite troops under the command of Wei Ze, the king of Qi. At that time, the other field armies were six to ten days away from Tianjing City, but Wei Ze's entire army could reach the city of Nanjing in only two days. However, Wei Ze's choice delayed his ascension to the Supreme Throne by at least five years. Such a great man should make such a concession because of his feelings, Alexander?? Ulyanov was surprised.
Keep looking down, Alexander?? The image of Weezer in Ulyanov's mind was completely subverted. In European propaganda, Weeser was portrayed as a ruthless and murderous military dictator, yet it turned out that Weeser never raised a butcher's knife against his former comrades. Even though the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom had tried to assassinate Wei Ze, Wei Ze did not massacre and liquidate the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, and the only military action was after the heir of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, the Young Heavenly King Hong Tianfugui, defected to the Min Dynasty, and Shi Dakai and others went to the Great Northwest to establish a country. Moreover, the war was only fought for a short time, and all the captured generals of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom were not purged. Decades have passed, some people have died of natural causes, and a large number of people are still alive and kicking. Where is such a Wei Ze a tyrant, he is clearly a broad-minded benevolent monarch.
Satisfied, came out of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom History Museum, Alexander?? Ulyanov sighed: "With such a leader, it is no wonder that the Liberation Army can become stronger and stronger the more it fights, and more and more people will come." ”
"Nope. If things were exactly as the museum says, Weese's army would probably be getting smaller and smaller, and those who followed Weser couldn't be more and more. "The young 'professor' disagreed.
"Why?" Alexander?? Ulyanov and others were somewhat puzzled.
"Because ......, I just feel that His Majesty Weese's approach seems to have a deeper idea in it." Even though the young 'professor' had a very intuitive idea that it was certainly not that simple, he could not find a reason.
Just when the other revolutionary youth were ready to refute the professor's claims, Alexander?? Ulyanov waved his hand, "This is actually not important, I believe that our comrades will not make a case of cannibalism." But the speed at which the Chinese people participated in the revolution was so fast that when they left Guangxi, there were only tens of thousands of combat troops, but in a few years they swelled to hundreds of thousands. What kind of appeal did the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom have that made so many Chinese people willing to follow them? By identifying this key, we can find out the main points of the revolution. If hundreds of thousands of Russian people had thrown themselves into the war, I believe we would have won. ”
What makes the people throw themselves into the revolution is the fundamental question of the revolution. Not only the young revolutionaries from Russia were perplexed, but even materialists like Uncle En's had to marvel at the Chinese revolution. In Beijing, Uncle En finally decided to pack his bags and go back to Europe. Uncle En is not a person of luxury and waste, as far as his own luggage is actually very small, and it is very simple to pack.
Wei Ze didn't want Uncle En to go, but he couldn't stop him. Uncle En was very open-minded, and he smiled at Wei Ze: "Your Excellency, on this trip to China, I think that the revolution will definitely succeed, although the process of revolution is far more complicated than I imagined. And the reason for the outbreak of the revolution is actually simpler than I thought. The Chinese people seek survival and survival, so they can throw themselves into the revolution regardless of everything. And a leader like you responded to the call of the revolution, and the combination of the two accomplished the great cause of the revolution. ”
Wei Zeke was not happy because of Uncle En's praise, he said regretfully: "Mr. En, there are very few talents like you, especially those who can provide us with their own thinking patterns to help us with ideas and ways of thinking. After all, Europe is already an industrial country, and the probability of a revolution in Europe is low. Your role in the Min Dynasty is much greater than in Europe. ”
Uncle En could see Wei Ze's consolation, and he smiled: "Thank you, Your Excellency, for valuing me so much. But Your Excellency has no affection for Europe, especially no revolutionary feelings, and I have very deep feelings for Europe. The development of the revolution in Europe was not as good as that of the Republic of China, so I had to go back to Europe and push the European revolution forward. ”
"Rebellion in the age of industrialization was very difficult, and even the mere completion of the agrarian revolution would inevitably lead to a terrible civil war in Europe. Mr. En, the proletariat is weak, and the number of small proprietors of all kinds is probably much greater than that of the proletariat. We have discussed that in the communist era mentioned by Uncle Ma, the proletariat was not forced to proletariat, but the society developed to the point that private ownership was not efficient at all. The proletariat of the future is not at all the same thing as the masses who are now forced to become proletariat. As long as the bourgeoisie has a little propaganda, and even does not need bourgeois propaganda, the petty bourgeoisie who own a small plot of land, a little property, and a small shop will probably flock to attack the revolutionaries who propagate public ownership......" Weeser continued to exhort. His original plane of New China has completed an unprecedented revolution in human history, the old world has been completely smashed, and public ownership has a solid foundation in New China through propaganda and practice. Even so, the counteroffensive of the Zi faction still makes such a system face crises again and again. If it weren't for the great social movements that made the ideas of 'public ownership' and 'the working people are the masters of the country' accepted and believed by the masses of the people, probably the public ownership of New China would not be much better than that of the Soviet Union.
Uncle En's rare interruption of Wei Ze's words, "Your Excellency, I understand. I understand what you're saying. Because the system you led was dominant in the Minchao, the public and state ownership of the Minguo Dynasty were able to operate so effectively. It is precisely because I saw that such a socialist system could function normally, so that I wanted to go back to Europe, so that the revolutionaries in Europe could better understand what was really going on in China. Of course, if Your Excellency had been able to guide the revolution in Europe earlier, I would probably have been able to stay in China instead of returning to Europe. ”
Hearing Uncle En's criticism of himself at the end, Wei Ze could only smile bitterly. As a result of the Soviet export revolution, Weeser had little interest in such an export. 'Our bastards are still bastards,' Weser believes. Wei Ze thought that the most exquisite decision in Deng Tianzun's life was not Huairentang, but to send those scum out of the country after 88.
If those scum are executed, it will only artificially create a group of 'martyrs'. After sending the scum out, the true nature of the scum will be exposed. Some people can deceive some people in the long term, and some can deceive everyone in the short term. But deception is deception, and no one has ever been able to deceive everyone for a long time. Those overseas scum have become the best counterexample, proving many things to the Chinese people.
At this time, the Min Dynasty itself was already a world, and Wei Ze felt that even if the Min Dynasty had 2 billion people, it could live well. As for the existence of Britain and Europe and South America, it is a different kind of country case that can prove to future Chinese people that there are many, many things that they will not believe and are not interested in understanding now. Since Europe was in Weeser's eyes just some kind of experimental white mouse, he naturally had no interest in pushing forward the revolution in Europe as a whole. Even though he knew that only the pain of the skin could make the people progress, Wei Ze still couldn't bear to let the people of the Min Dynasty accept such a powerful pain.
I really don't have an internationalist spirit. Weser gave himself an evaluation. Now that he understood his original intention, Wei Ze no longer persuaded Uncle En to stay in the Minchao. Moreover, Weeser was also very utilitarian, and perhaps there was an opportunity to find a case of educating the people of the Minchao from the persecution that Uncle En might have suffered after returning to Europe.
Uncle En didn't expect Wei Ze to be so utilitarian and practical, and seeing that Wei Ze no longer persuaded him, Uncle En sighed: "Only after coming to China did I understand what kind of suffering Chinese people have endured. And I was worried that Your Excellency would become a reactionary, but now I think I am overly worried. Even if it is for your own sake, you will continue to push the revolution forward. ”
"The Chinese people have experienced great suffering, which is why they will accept the complete destruction of private ownership of land and the establishment of a new system of land ownership. Mr. En, your propaganda in Europe is facing such a dilemma. The people of Europe are probably unlikely to accept public ownership, and their view of public ownership is probably communism. Weser said half-jokingly.
"None of that matters. As long as China's cause continues, when European countries cannot go on, they will definitely choose a new and feasible system. Sir, I do think you should not underestimate the people of Europe. In distinguishing right from wrong, they are not necessarily inferior to the people of the Minchao. Uncle En couldn't help but make some excuses to the European people.
Send Uncle En onto the ship and watch Uncle En leave the Tianjin dock. Weezer let out a long sigh. Uncle En can have full confidence in the European people, but the view that Weeser has drawn from his own experience is that the European people are unreliable. When they were so poor that they could not hold on, the people of Europe went to fascism. When there is money but is politically closed, the people of Europe go to the trick of high welfare and the white left. In Weese's time and space, it seems that Europe has not made any decent decisions for more than a hundred years, except for killing each other, drinking to quench their thirst, and killing each other. Not to mention that now without the United States, the British Empire is even more powerful, and it can play with its strength in the big hole of Europe several times over.
When Weeser remembered the British Empire, which had been talking about Weeser for the twelfth month in a row. At the end of the Sino-American war, the British Empire was not particularly surprised. Historically, the British Empire has been known for its resilience, and those who persevere to the end have always been able to pick up treasures on a messy battlefield, or at least feast on carrion like crows.
The situation in southern Africa made the British Empire see through the decay and rigidity of its own army, which was no longer capable of dealing with modern warfare, but which took back New England, which was very important in North America, and some parts further south. The area of the new Canada today will be more than 4 million square kilometers, and the core of the rich area will be about 1.5 million square kilometers. You must know that the island of Great Britain is only 200,000 square kilometers in size, and there is a Scotland side by side with England.
"Her Majesty is requested to decide on the date of the relocation of the capital as soon as possible." Cecil, Minister of the Colonial Ministry?? Rhodes has talked about it I don't know how many times.
If Chinese diplomats heard about this, they would have reacted violently. The Queen of India is not in India but in the UK, which is already a very funny thing, and if the Queen of India and King of England is not in England but in North America, there is probably no other choice but to be hilarious.
What does the Prime Minister think of Cecil?? Minister Rhodes's attitude was too straightforward, so he glanced at the Minister of the Colonial Department, bowed his head and said: "Please also ask the Empress to come to Canada as soon as possible, and announce the news that Canada has become a province of the British Empire again." ”
Listening to this same but very euphemistic words, the Minister of the Colonies, Cecil?? Rhodes immediately felt that he was a little concerned. Queen Victoria of India was born in 1819 and is 73 years old this year. It is already a good thing for ordinary old people to be able to go out and walk completely on their own in these years, and it is indeed difficult for a strong man to let the empress cross thousands of kilometers of the North Atlantic.
"Don't be impatient." As she spoke, the sagging flesh on Queen Victoria's fat face trembled slightly. It's not because of fear or physical discomfort, it's simply because you're getting old and your flesh is loose.
"Even if you move the capital, you have to determine who you want to stay. The British Empire could not allow England to sing an empty plan. The Empress said something that seemed reasonable.
"Yes!" The Prime Minister immediately agreed.
Cecil, Minister of the Colonies?? Rhodes bowed his head respectfully, but he didn't really agree. This may seem true, but it's almost. It was not the army but the Royal Navy that defended England, and the army, not the navy, that defended Canada. It was time to send the army to control the newly annexed territory of Great Britain and the navy to defend the sea routes. For the Chinese, Cecil?? Rhodes didn't bother to think about it that much. The emperor of the Republic of China had an indescribable affection for Britain, shouldn't he take this opportunity to move a large number of British people who lacked the means of production to North America, so that everyone could have children?
"Let's send a million people to North America first." Queen Victoria of India finally made a more serious statement.
And such an approach made the Minister of the Colony Cecil?? Rhodes's face became very ugly, he had been planning for this matter for decades, and the joints in it were naturally very clear, and when he saw that the Indian Empress had made such a decision that looked like progress was actually a hundred times worse than bullshit, he couldn't help it anymore, and said angrily: "Your Majesty." Please leave for North America first. If you were in North America, the subjects of the British Empire would consider North America to be the core of the British Empire. If you weren't in North America, the subjects of the British Empire would just think of North America as a wild colony, as before. Especially now that the United States has been wiped out by China, the subjects of the British Empire have a very low opinion of North America. ”
The colonial secretary of the British Empire was very clear about the colonial problem, and the prime minister of the British Empire basically did not give it for nothing. Rodes's open-minded remarks, he smiled bitterly in his heart. Loyal and patriotic to the point that he doesn't care about the king's likes and dislikes, the prime minister is so loyal to Cecil?? Rhodes even gave birth to some respect. But the kings have always protected themselves very completely, and among the living kings in this world, only the emperor of the Min Dynasty was the only one who was born and died on the front line.
"Ahem!" Her Majesty coughed dryly, "This matter ...... discussed later." That's all for today. ”
The Empress ordered the meeting to be adjourned, and everyone had to adjourn it. When the Prime Minister and the Colonial Minister walked to the palace gate and went home separately, they simply shook hands. Colonial Chancellor Cecil?? There was anxiety in Rhodes's eyes, and there was almost imperceptible anxiety in the eyes of the Prime Minister. Whether it is an emperor or a minister, everyone has the same time. Twelve months have passed since the New England states requested to join Canada. A lot seems to have happened in the past 12 months, but not much has changed in the UK itself.
