Chapter 66 National Consciousness
Zhu Yousong asked, "What do you want to say?" Can you finish the conversation all at once? ”
Zhu Youzhen saw that Zhu Yousong looked a little uncontrollable, and said: "Changing your mind is the only way to save Daming!" ”
Zhu Yousong stared at Zhu Youzhen, and Zhu Youzhen hurriedly explained: "Thought is consciousness, it is the consciousness of the family and the country, and it is the consciousness of the nation!" ”
Zhu Yousong asked: "Are you saying that the people of the Ming Dynasty have no sense of family and country, no sense of nation?" ”
Zhu Youzhen nodded, and Zhu Yousong said in disbelief: "Are you lying to ghosts?" The national consciousness has long been formed, okay! Ran Min's name, you haven't heard of it? ”
Zhu Youzhen said with a solemn face: "As a Han Chinese, Ran Min is indeed worthy of respect, and some people in the Ming Dynasty can also be said to be patriotic ......" Speaking of this, Zhu Youzhen saw that Zhu Yousong wanted to refute, and hurriedly explained: "Don't worry, listen to me!" ”
Zhu Youzhen said all this, and Zhu Yousong had no choice but to suppress his restless mood. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Zhu Youzhen coughed lightly and asked: "If in the future life, one day a foreign army sets foot on the soil of China and fights with our soldiers, if you were near the battlefield at that time, what would you do?" ”
Zhu Yousong chuckled and asked with a cold face, "What do you say?" ”
Zhu Youzhen smiled and said, "I think you will definitely join the battle, right?" Even if they don't go to war, they won't drag down the Chinese soldiers, after all, foreigners have already hit their homes! ”
Zhu Yousong pursed his lips and said, "Aren't you talking nonsense?" ”
Zhu Youzhen glanced at Zhu Yousong and said, "But do you know the scene of the First Opium War? ”
Is it really a liberal arts student for nothing? Zhu Yousong glanced at Zhu Youzhen contemptuously, coughed lightly and said loudly: "Signed the "Treaty of Nanjing" that lost power and humiliated the country, paid an indemnity of 21 million silver dollars, ceded Hong Kong, and ...... trade with the five countries."
Zhu Youzhen shook his head and said, "I'm not talking about the end of the war, I'm talking about the time of the battle!" ”
Zhu Yousong frowned and said, "Then how do I know, do you think everyone likes to read history books so much like you?" ”
Zhu Youzhen sighed and said: "At that time, the army of the Qing Dynasty was fighting against the British and French coalition forces, and the people nearby should sell vegetables and sell grain, how could they have the idea that their own country was fighting with foreign countries?" ”
Zhu Yousong snorted coldly, he had also heard a little about these things, and he really couldn't refute Zhu Youzhen's words.
Zhu Youzhen said: "The local people think that the emperor is fighting with foreigners, what does it have to do with us? If you lose, it is the emperor's land that is cut, and the emperor's silver is lost, the world is all owned by the emperor, what does it have to do with us little people! ”
Zhu Yousong was puzzled: "You're not joking, are you?" You have also traveled to the Qing Dynasty, how can you be so familiar with the psychological activities of the common people at that time? ”
Zhu Youjian did not change his face and said, "I guess." ”
"Guess ......"
Zhu Youzhen said: "Although I guessed, it is not without basis! ”
"What basis do you have?"
Zhu Youzhen took a deep breath and said slowly: "You may know about the resistance against the British in Sanyuanli, and you may also know the Boxers at the end of the Qing Dynasty, but do you know what many ordinary people outside the capital did when the Eight-Nation Alliance invaded China?" ”
Zhu Youjian saw that Zhu Yousong did not speak, and then said: "The logistics of those foreign armies are all hired by Chinese!" Zhu Youjian seemed to hate it, gritted his teeth and said again: "Chinese! ”
"Where did the people's national concept come from, where did the national concept come from? The Eight-Nation Coalition Army attacked Beijing, the city of Beijing was high and thick, and foreigners could not attack, and the local people pointed out the way to these invaders! There was no fortification under the Guangqu Gate! ”
"There has been no fortification under the Guangqu Gate! You say that a nation is ignorant in the face of the aggressors to such a point, and you say that in the future, if we really start a war, what will happen to us? ”
Zhu Yousong was a little shocked in his heart, he didn't know these histories, and he really couldn't come back to his senses......
"At that time, the Eight-Nation Coalition attacked the Imperial Palace, how many local people helped the invaders fill trenches, tie ladders, and hold ladders?"
Zhu Yousong said in a low voice: "Isn't that the Qing Dynasty, maybe the Ming Dynasty will be better, right?" ”
Zhu Youzhen smiled bitterly: "If the two of us hadn't crossed, when Li Zicheng attacked Beijing more than ten years later, someone would open the city gate, and the Manchu Dynasty would kneel down to meet the king......"
Zhu Yousong saw that Zhu Youzhen said so badly about the people and officials in Chinese history, and muttered in a low voice: "Is it so exaggerated as you say? ”
Zhu Youzhen took a deep breath and said, "No? Sun Yat-sen once said that 40,000,000 Chinese are just scattered sand! Changing our thinking and unifying our thinking is for the sake of building a modern nation-state! It is necessary to awaken people's national consciousness and awaken people's national consciousness! ”
"Someone once said that psychologically speaking, the Chinese people live and work in peace and contentment is their ideal, as for politics and the military, they are just a kind of occupation of the ruling class, and what is politically and militarily connected with the people is only to collect taxes and maintain law and order, no matter who holds the political power or who holds the military power, it will not hinder the overall situation! Do you think he's right? ”
Zhu Yousong was silent and did not speak, he knew that if he said that he disagreed, Zhu Youzhen would definitely take the Qing Dynasty as an example again, so many Han people were taken into the Central Plains by the Manchu Qing ethnic minorities, and the Qing Dynasty was not strong for hundreds of years?
It can be seen that the people in ancient times were really not interested in these things, and it doesn't matter if you are an Han or a Manchu, a Chinese or a foreigner, as long as you can live a good life......
Zhu Youzhen sighed and said: "Although we look infinite in Daming now, an emperor and a prince, but if there is a problem in this world in the future, whose fault is it, whose responsibility?" ”
Zhu Yousong smoked and didn't speak, Zhu Youzhen took a sip of tea and said: "There is a saying that everyone knows, the whole world is not the king's land, and the land Yibin is not the king's minister." If you look at this sentence now, is it positive or derogatory? If the people of the world think so, then this world, this Ming Dynasty is only the world of our Zhu family, and it is only the world of my Zhu Youzhen! Is this the world of the people of the Ming Dynasty? No! ”
Zhu Yousong let out a breath and said: "It is not a day's work to enlighten the people's wisdom and awaken the national consciousness. ”
Zhu Youzhen exhaled angrily: "It is precisely because of this that I am even more angry!" The family and the country are all over the world, and those scholars learn the way of Confucius and Mencius, but they raise their wolf ambitions! ”
Zhu Yousong sighed and comforted: "Hey, after all, the things you said are from the Qing Dynasty, maybe the Ming Dynasty will be better?" ”
Zhu Youzhen said a little sadly: "The Ming Dynasty is no different from the Qing Dynasty in this regard. Li Zicheng came to surrender the thieves, and the Tartars came to surrender the Tartars......"
