Chapter 23: Death is vigorous
The story of Chen Sheng and Wu Guang's uprising only brought different ideas to very few people in Qingshanzhai, and the story of the Yellow Turban Uprising made more people have different ideas in their minds, especially the students who are constantly thinking about liberation/release.
Ideas are ideas, except for He Yan who raised questions in class, everyone else hid their thoughts in their hearts, and those who thought slowly, what the students thought in their hearts, even Fang Nan couldn't figure it out.
The story of the Yellow Turban Uprising did not bring about a change in the current situation of Qingshan Village, but Fang Nan knew that the thoughts of the villagers were slowly changing.
Winter turns to spring, the time of the second school year is passing rapidly, and in the blink of an eye, there are only less than three months left before the end of the second school year, and in some time, the "Thousand Character Text" will be completed by the students.
At the end of all the classes on this day, Hu Zhuang hesitated for a while, and finally gritted his teeth and walked towards Fang Nan's house, at this time Fang Nan was writing something in the house, Hu Xiaoya sat next to Fang Nan, holding a piece of paper full of words in her hand and looking at it carefully.
For! For!
Two knocks on the wooden door sounded, Fang Nan and Hu Xiaoya both raised their heads and opened to the door, and found that it was Hu Zhuang who came, which made the two a little puzzled, Hu Zhuang was their brother, and there was no need to knock on the door when they came to each other, under normal circumstances, only when students came, they would knock on the door according to Fang Nan's requirements.
"Please come in!" Fang Nan said, this is the attitude when dealing with students.
Hearing the sound, Hu Zhuang hesitated a little before entering the house.
"What's the matter?" Fang Nan asked.
More than ten seconds passed, Hu Zhuang didn't speak, Fang Nan could feel Hu Zhuang's breathing sound becoming heavy, Hu Zhuang's eyes turned to Hu Xiaoya from time to time, Fang Nan understood that this should be Hu Xiaoya in the house, Hu Zhuang had something to say.
Fang Nan turned his head to Hu Xiaoya and said, "Little girl, you go out first." ”
"Okay." Hu Xiaoya nodded, looked at her brother suspiciously, and then walked out of the house.
When Hu Xiaoya walked away, Fang Nan said to Hu Zhuang: "Xiaoya is gone, let's talk about something." ”
Hearing this, Hu Zhuang took several seconds before he spoke: "Teacher, that, I... I imagine... Chen Sheng and Wu Guang are like that... Lead the common people to revolt and overthrow the Ming Dynasty. ”
Stumbling, Hu Zhuang finally finished a sentence, and then ushered in Fang Nan's gaze, Hu Zhuang's gaze dodged a few times, and it seemed that he quickly made up his mind in his heart, Hu Zhuang's gaze no longer dodged, and looked at Fang Nan.
"Are you serious? The chances of success in the uprising are very low, and if you fail, not only will you die, but your family, me, and everyone in Qingshanzhai will be affected by you. ”
"This?"
Hu Zhuang finally made a decision, but when he heard Fang Nan's words, he hesitated again.
Hu Zhuang studied with Fang Nan for nearly two years, at first Hu Zhuang wanted to read and write to live a good life in the outside world, and then he had the dream of being a general to lead thousands of troops, and in the second school year, under the influence of Fang Nan's average of more than a month A peasant uprising story, Hu Zhuang had the idea of leading the people to revolt and overthrow the Ming Dynasty.
It is not surprising that Hu Zhuang has this idea, the people of Qingshanzhai fled into the mountains because they could not live in the outside world, and like the peasants in the stories of peasant uprisings, they are the objects of oppression and exploitation by the government and landlords, and Hu Zhuang is easy to substitute into them.
It just so happened that Hu Zhuang still had the dream of becoming a general, and this dream was part of the current dream, especially when Hu Zhuang unexpectedly learned that "if you want to live in the outside world, you must have a 'household registration', and these mountain people do not have a 'household registration'", these things made Hu Zhuang have some determination.
Then Hu Zhuang came to Fang Nan and said this matter, as long as Fang Nan agreed or supported, Hu Zhuang would completely make up his mind and work hard for this dream.
Hu Zhuang knew that the result of the failure of the uprising was death, but he didn't expect that this was a big crime of the Zhujiu clan, not only did he have to die, but his relatives and friends also died, and the entire Qingshan Village people were implicated because of Hu Zhuang, so Hu Zhuang hesitated again.
When Hu Zhuang was still hesitating, Fang Nan asked another question: "How sure do you think you will succeed in doing this?" ”
Hu Zhuang answered this question quickly, he said: "The chance of success is very small, nine deaths and one life." ”
"Since the chance of success is so small, why did you choose this path, you die, what will happen to your parents, sister and Su Ting?"
If Fang Nan hadn't told the people of Qingshanzhai that it would be bad for women to have children, I'm afraid that Hu Zhuang and Su Ting would have been married, and Su Ting was also one of Fang Nan's students.
Hearing Fang Nan's words, Hu Zhuang hesitated even more, the dream in his mind was slowly crumbling, this kind of change is a normal thing, and how many people will abandon their families and children in order to make meritorious contributions, not to mention that Hu Zhuang's plan is a "rebellion" with a very high probability of failure.
Hu Zhuang's changes are normal, but what Fang Nan has done is a little abnormal, Fang Nan's efforts in the past two years are not just to make his students rebel against the Ming Dynasty? Hu Zhuang already has an objection, why does Fang Nan want to dispel this objection?
No, Fang Nan did not dispel Hu Zhuang's objection, but dispelled Hu Zhuang's idea of preparing for practical action, Fang Nan was the first person in Qingshan Village to rebel and overthrow the Ming Dynasty, Fang Nan wanted to take everyone in Qingshan Village as a team, and then slowly gather more strength, and then go to the outside world to gather poor people to confront the Ming Dynasty.
Now Hu Zhuang wants to take action, maybe he will also pull a few of his classmates to act together, even if it has a lot of impact in the outside world, it is expected that it will eventually be wiped out by the Ming Dynasty army, now it is the last glory of the Ming Dynasty, the strength is strong, and it is not only the peasant rebel army with cold weapons can be easily defeated.
"Teacher, I didn't think it through, and I gave up on this matter." Hu Zhuang sighed and made the decision to give up.
Regarding Hu Zhuang's decision, Fang Nan did not answer for the time being, but asked another question: "Why did you think of leading the people to revolt?" ”
"I listened to the stories of the Chen Sheng, Wu Guang Uprising, and the Yellow Turban Uprising of the teacher to have these ideas, living in the deep mountains, we can eat well, it seems to be a happy thing, but I don't feel enough, I want to go to the outside world to live a good life, eat good food, wear good clothes, and live in a big house.
It is the government, it is the Ming Dynasty that prevents us from living a good life, only by overthrowing the Ming Dynasty can we live a good life, there are so many poor people in the world, as long as we can unite, we can overthrow the Ming Dynasty together and live a good life together.
As a man, I don't want to hide in the mountains all my life, even if the uprising fails and I die, I have to die vigorously, like Chen Sheng and Wu Guang to leave my name in history.
That's why I had this idea in my head, and I had already made a decision, and I thought things were simple, alas. ”
