When Shen Xin rushed from Luzhou to Anqing, it was dark, and although the heat in early August was very heavy, the sun set earlier than in June. At eight o'clock in the evening, he rushed to Wang Mingshan's residence, and after seeing Wang Mingshan, Shen Xin's first sentence was, "Mingshan, people can't kill like this!" ”

Wang Mingshan was stunned for a moment, but he quickly figured out the reason for the matter, he sneered, "If you are afraid of being said, then kill me first!" ”

Shen Xin is such a smart person, seeing that Wang Mingshan is not angry, he immediately guessed some reasons. Pulling Wang Mingshan to sit down, Shen Xin asked, "What's going on?" ”

"It's okay! These people are not good things, kill Qingjing! Wang Mingshan gritted his teeth slightly and said with a relieved look.

Shen Xin calmly tried to convince his old classmates, "Mingshan, there are indeed some of these people who take the initiative to collude with the Hunan Army and the Huai Army, and they organize a group of reactionary calculations, this batch should be killed." But what you are proposing now is that as long as you have dealings with the Hunan army and the Huai army, you will kill them all. These people themselves were not willing to collude with the Hunan army and the Huai army, and many people were forced to have no choice but to have dealings with the Hunan army and the Huai army. I don't think it's appropriate to kill all these people! ”

"Really? Are they also forced to be helpless? Hehe! Wang Mingshan sneered, "The Hunan army was about to besiege Anqing, and my family sent my sister to my uncle's house for refuge at that time. When the Hunan army crossed the border, my uncle was forced to helplessly collude with the Hunan army for his own safety. Will he offer women? Of course, his two daughters don't send it. I'm going to tie up my sister and send it away. What a helpless one! ”

Shen Xin suddenly realized at this time, but understanding it does not mean that he has something to say, and Shen Xin really can't think of how to comfort Wang Mingshan. After being silent for a while, he asked, "What about your family in Anqing?" ”

"All killed!" Wang Mingshan turned his head, his eyes were already full of tears.

After pondering for a while, Shen Xin continued to ask, "Is there any news about your sister later?" ”

Wang Mingshan wiped a handful of tears, choked up and said, "Then I don't know, the person was taken away." I don't know if my sister was sent back to her hometown by the Hunan army, or if she was taken to Huaibei by the Hunan army. In terms of time, the Hunan army did not have time to return to his hometown. So you say I'm going too far to kill him? Shen Xin. We are old classmates, old brothers, do you think such people should not be killed? ”

Shen Xin was speechless, and after a while, he reluctantly said: "Mingshan, you can sue him, our court will support you!" ”

Wang Mingshan was furious when he heard this, he stood up and pointed at Shen Xin and said, "Shen Xin! I'm ashamed that my relatives have done such things! You're still going to let me sue him? I'm going to throw people out in public, can't I? You know what he said when I asked him? He cried first and said that he was also forced to be helpless, and if he didn't do this, he would die! Is that really the case? The Hunan army robbed it there, but because it was going to fight, it only robbed money and grain, but not women. The whole place was robbed, but the bastard's fortune was saved! When I found out about it, he couldn't deny it, and even said that the elders could decide who to marry the daughter of the family! Shen Xin, is it interesting for such a person to let him live? ”

Shen Xin opened his mouth, but he couldn't say anything else. It is true that he still thinks that Wang Mingshan's clan uncle is extremely hateful, but now he sees that he is not guilty to death. And according to Wang Mingshan's meaning, the standard of this killing has been raised to a considerable height. Landlords who tried to protect themselves by various means were also included in the scope of killing. If it were to be killed like this, the whole scope would be too large.

More importantly, Shen Xin had already understood that Wang Mingshan's reason for killing was not pure. He is more about avenging himself than doing things according to reason. From the perspective of body and mind, it is okay to severely punish Wang Mingshan's uncle, but it is really too much to kill.

But Shen Xin also knew that he couldn't refute Wang Mingshan now, and if he refuted, his friendship with Wang Mingshan would end here. Wang Mingshan is only thinking about revenge now, and other considerations are not within the scope of his thinking at all. It's hard to say whether Wang Mingshan will regret it in the future, but now if Wang Mingshan's uncle doesn't die, Wang Mingshan will be unable to sleep and eat.

"Governor! What the hell do you want to do! Shen Xin felt a rare little complaining about Wei Ze in his heart.

Wang Mingshan vented, his mood calmed down a little, and he said sadly: "These people must not be bypassed, these people must not be let go!" It's all pests! In the past, the governor said that he wanted to build a new country where no one could bully and eat people. I don't quite understand it yet. Now I can understand how these pests eat people, and now I can understand how these people bully people! How bad these people really are! Shen Xin, these people are meant to be cannibals, and they can't be spared because they didn't do the bad thing of killing people and setting fires! Sooner or later, they're going to do bad things! ”

Listening to Wang Mingshan's reprimand, Shen Xin was shocked. Wang Mingshan's bitter rebuke did point out a lot of things, but these are the problems of the entire social system. As the political commissar of the Corps, Shen Xin found that these female soldiers in the army almost without exception did not want to return to their past homes.

After joining the Liberation Army, these girls were freed, they were respected, they learned various skills, and they were able to support themselves on their own. What's more, the job placement after retirement has allowed these girls to see a whole new world. They can break free from the shackles that have been put on them and get a new life that they may not have been able to sketch out in their dreams before.

Weeser has said before that rebellion is nothing more than the use of force to open up a way to live, and relying on the plunder of military force can free these people from the fate of oppression and enslavement. But that's just rebellion. The revolution was to open up a whole new world in which all slavery and oppression were smashed. Not only those who participated in the revolution, but also those who were passively involved in the new world created by the revolution could be liberated.

Although fully aware that Shen Xin's passion for killing came from his own experience, Shen Xin discovered that Wang Mingshan was present in the revolution led by Wei Ze and began to pursue justice and liberation. This realization made Shen Xin even shake a little. Originally, he still felt that Wei Ze was too indulgent to Wang Mingshan, but if he didn't mention the specific methods, was the passion represented by Wang Mingshan really wrong?

Good and evil, progress and backwardness, such a confrontation made Shen Xin feel difficult to sort out for a while.

As a political commissar, he also has work against religious superstition. In order to criticize God-worshipping, Shen Xin naturally had to read the scriptures borrowed from Christianity by God-worshipping. Looking at Wang Mingshan's deep pain and uncontrollable passion, Shen Xin suddenly remembered a passage in the "New Testament".

Do not think that I have come to bring peace to the earth; I have not come to bring peace to the earth, but to the sword of the earth.

For I have come to say, 'A man is alienated from her father, a daughter is alienated from her mother, and a daughter-in-law is alienated from her mother-in-law.'"

A man's enemies are those of his own household. ’

Whoever loves father or mother more than me is not worthy of me. Whoever loves his children more than me is not worthy of me.

Whoever does not take up his cross and follow me is not worthy of me.

He who gains life will lose it; Whoever loses his life for my sake will have eternal life

……

Since the justice pursued by Wang Mingshan cannot be denied, it can only be admitted that the new era that Wei Ze wants to usher in, in the eyes of old China, will undoubtedly make all the previous order be shattered cleanly. And then everyone will get a freedom that was unimaginable in the old days. And in this old era of advocating "Heaven and Earth Monarch and Teacher", the old system between all people will be unfamiliar. It is not only a sin to think that an elder betrays his children, but it is also a sin for an elder to arrange for his or her children's future of his own will.

What would such a world look like?

This realization made Shen Xin feel that his soul couldn't help but tremble a little. R1058
