Chapter 27: Identity
In this class, where teachers and students worked together, Fang Nan did not say the next plan, but explained the rebellion to the students clearly, and the main content was twofold.
The first aspect is the possibility of a successful rebellion by Fang Nan and the students.
The vast majority of peasant uprisings, the leaders are also peasants who can't read a single word, they are different, Fang Nan's knowledge can be said to be the most people in the world, his students only study for three years, and they are far inferior to scholars from the outside world in terms of poetry and composing, but in other aspects, such as hands-on ability, they are greatly superior to those scholars.
Fang Nan is the leader, and the students are the most important team of Fang Nan, such a foundation is already better than the vast majority of peasant uprisings, with this foundation, the probability of their rebellion succeeding is greatly increased, at least they will not be easily wiped out by a thousand households in the Ming Dynasty just after the rebellion.
The second aspect is to plan and then act.
For the rebels, the area where the Qingshanzhai is located is very good, in the deep mountains, not under the jurisdiction of the government, and the rebels can do things that the outside world cannot do in the deep mountains.
Moreover, there are other villages in the mountains, and the vast majority of the people fled into the mountains under the oppression and exploitation of the government and landlords.
It doesn't matter if Fang Nan shouted the slogan of rebellion in the mountains, anyway, the outside world doesn't know, but if you want to rebel in the outside world, you have to confront the Ming Dynasty army, Fang Nan must have an invincible army, if there is no army, Fang Nan will not go out of the mountain easily.
In other words, if in ten or twenty years, Fang Nan and the others are not ready for the rebellion, and everyone has wives and children, then forget about this rebellion, continue to live in the mountains, so that you can survive and stop thinking about rebellion.
"If we can overthrow the Ming Dynasty, we will rebel, and if we can't overthrow the Ming Dynasty, then we will not rebel."
Fang Nan mainly talked about these two aspects, listened to the teacher's words, and was afraid that the students who would fail to rebel and die finally let go of the burden in their hearts.
In fact, after the efforts of Fang Nan in the second and third years, the students were disgusted and hated by the foreign government and landlords, some students wanted to take practical action to overthrow the Ming Dynasty, some students had similar ideas in their minds but had not yet made up their minds, and some students did not dare to rebel, they were afraid that they would be killed if the rebellion failed.
Some students will be afraid, this is a very normal thing, there are so many people who are oppressed and exploited in the world, if they all rebel, then the Ming Dynasty would have perished, but most of the people dare not rebel, afraid of death, so even if some people can't live anymore, they don't dare to rebel, they can only flee to other places.
If the rebellion will succeed, then it will not die, and if the rebellion is not successful, it will not rebel and will not die, so that the students who are afraid of death can relax the burden in their hearts.
After talking about these two aspects, Fang Nan gave the students another task.
"The slogan we shouted just now may have been heard by your elders, now give you a task, when you get home, tell your elders about us, and let them agree with what we are going to do."
Fang Nan thought that this was a relatively easy task, the elders also hated and hated the outside government and landlords, but there were more people who were afraid of death, basically according to what he had persuaded the students before, it was easy for the elders to approve of what they were going to do.
Things are just as Fang Nan thought, after class, when the students returned home, some of the students had not yet spoken, and some elders questioned what happened in the school, "rebellion" can be said to be a taboo in the cottage, and the elders can better understand the fate of the failure of the rebellion.
The students gathered their families together according to Fang Nan's instructions and explained the "rebellion" to their families.
"We are not rebelling now, we are preparing for a rebellion, and if the rebellion is successful, we will go out of the mountains to the outside world to rebel."
There are not many grumpy people in Qingshan Village, reading and literacy can also make people self-cultivation, most people can sit down and listen to the explanations of the juniors, as long as the juniors can listen to the words, most of the elders will agree with the juniors to do something.
There are also some people who don't agree with what Fang Nan and the students want to do, Fang Nan is the teacher of the students, so some of the students' elders come over and want to stop what Fang Nan and the students are going to do.
The elders can better understand that once the rebellion fails, the entire Qingshan Village will be implicated, and it is not enough for their own juniors to quit, unless the family leaves the Qingshan Village to live elsewhere, but this is too difficult.
Fang Nan did not personally explain to the elders of these students, his own students did not explain to the elders, or the elders were unwilling to listen to the explanations of the juniors, even if Fang Nan had the identity of a teacher, but he was only 15 years old, and he had not yet reached the point of being equal to the elders of the students, so it was difficult to get through these people who came to him.
There were even grumpy people who reached out and wanted to grab Fang Nan's clothes to subdue Fang Nan and force Fang Nan to give up the "rebellion".
Fortunately, Fang Nan is an extraordinary person, and his physical fitness has far surpassed that of adults, and there is no problem for one person to fight against dozens of Ming Dynasty soldiers, even if he can't beat it, he can still run away.
For these people who are unwilling to listen to the juniors, Fang Nan quickly has a solution, he invited the elders in the village who have been persuaded by the students to come over, the older the generation, the better, by the elders to the elders, even if they are short-tempered, they don't dare to lose their temper or move their hands and feet.
With the efforts of Fang Nan and the students, the adults in Qingshanzhai either agreed or did not object, and no one stood up to stop it anyway.
The idea of the elders is very simple, the juniors are not rebelling now, they are just working hard for the rebellion, and when the juniors want to rebel in the future, the elders will personally inspect the strength accumulated by the juniors, and if the strength is not enough, the parents of the students directly ask their children to give up the rebellion.
"Filial piety" is very important, whether it is before or after studying, the students of Fangnan know that they are filial to their parents, and if their parents say a word, most of the students may give up rebellion.
Interestingly, in addition to Fang Nan and the students, there are several people in the village who want to join them, these people are all about twenty years old, and they already have wives and children, but they are still relatively young, compared to people in their thirties and forties, their yearning for the outside world has not dissipated, and they still have some adventurous spirit.
People in their thirties and forties have passed half of their lives, their children are already so old, and now they want a stable life, the quality of life in Qingshanzhai is relatively poor, they can eat enough, and they also want to watch their grandchildren be born.
As for whether someone will tell the government about the rebellion for money, attracting the government to send troops to encircle and suppress Qingshanzhai, this may be almost none, the nearly 100 families in Qingshanzhai have already formed a whole and a community of interests in decades, not to mention that the people in Qingshanzhai hate and hate the government, but no one dares to believe the words of the government easily.
