Chapter 152: Instigating the Yellow River to rebel against the world
Xiao Xuan did not do much secret propaganda about this speech, because he also knew that although the new battalions that had just formed the army had begun to develop some sense of discipline and some collective consciousness, it was impossible to achieve a foolproof sense of secrecy and establish strict and effective monitoring. After all, the expansion from 10,000 to a total of 70,000 or 80,000 core forces has exceeded the rhythm even according to ancient military laws. Especially in order to ensure that there is always a core fist with fairly strong combat power, it is impossible to disperse all the main forces of about 10,000 people into those newly formed teams.
The calm of the outside world also allowed Xiao Xuan to take further action, and when he had already prepared and outlined, he personally wrote about 10,000 words of "World Declaration" as a declaration to prepare for the beating of the old ideology. I was going to write more, but if I carefully estimated, if an article has a lot of words, it is very likely that I will discourage the desire to read it. If it cannot be written in a propaganda newspaper, it will also bring great difficulties to the propaganda work. Therefore, in the spirit of being ten times easier to understand than the Communist Manifesto, it briefly introduces its own relatively superficial private goods that incorporate some of the basic principles of the 90s middle school political textbooks.
On such a manifesto of about 10,000 words at most, it is impossible for Xiao Xuan to systematically promote the entire theoretical system of modern scientific socialism from the origin of mankind and social development. We can only succinctly talk about the social structure since the Zhou Dynasty and the nature of class oppression hidden under the clan system. The reactionary nature of patriarchal clan rule is discussed from the various behaviors and rebellions of the nobles who violated the interests of the state before the Shang Dynasty reform, and even the oppression theories of some wealthy families for their own security, stability and interests, and the various crimes of the people who bully the king, rebel against the king, and harm the people.
Xiao Xuan, of course, was not ready to build a totalitarian state as a new bureaucratic leader or a new dictator, so he could not deny the monarch and emperor system, but only opposed the reactionary nature of political legitimacy of the "middle-class wealthy families". He also praised Qin Shi Huang, Wang Mang and others for their actions in fighting chaos and saving the people. As for the various examples and expositions since the Ming Dynasty, especially since the Jiajing Dynasty, Xiao Xuan, who is not a complete layman in the modern Internet age, certainly does not lack an excuse to attack the dual angle to oppose the entire ruling layer. The concepts of "capitalist class", "gentleman-oriented class" and "capitalless class" were also first proposed. Of course, it is more according to the hearts of the people within oneself: belonging to the "monarchical class" that can absolutely influence and control and lead the way with the monarch has the legitimacy to have sufficient political status.
Of course, Xiao Xuan knew what kind of political earthquake such a declaration would bring if it was disseminated. Especially when the entire elite has not yet encountered the domestication of the Manchu Qing Dynasty or even the crisis of the collapse of the country in modern times, let alone the self-humility mentality of the modern elite.
However, Xiao Xuan still underestimated how influential and lethal such a "table-flipping declaration" would bring even if it was spread in the form of conclusive inside information and messages.
Almost when the spring of the second year of Chongzhen arrived, not only the people around the capital, but even many military attachés from other provinces were secretly in contact with King Ning in the Huguang area at this time.
Zhu Changxuan, the king of Guiduan, saw from the end of the seventh year of the Apocalypse that many people in the court were dissatisfied with the unruly new emperor, but at that time, only a very small number of people in the Jiangnan Donglin Party secretly supported King Gui. But what Zhu Changxuan, the king of Gui, did not expect was that this son of heaven, who had shown extraordinary ability, was like an idiot in politics, and even less than people's expectations and opinions before. However, in a year or so, most of the civil and military officials in the world and even the feudal kings in various places retreated to the opposite side.
If it was said that a year ago, King Gui was not sure about the rebellion on the "side of the Qing monarch", but after the first month of the second year of Chongzhen, King Fu, King Lu, King Lu and other vassal kings from all over the world, and even more than four-digit civil and military officials in the court seemed to be very united in deciding to send cronies and letters in black and white to decide a complete showdown with this unruly son of heaven, and the confidence became extraordinarily full.
"What a happy event! Now it seems that as long as His Royal Highness King Gui makes a move, the provincial and town battalions and even the military attachés of the guards, excluding those who have not submitted their names, will stand on the side of His Highness five or six times out of ten! ”
"How are our guys training now? Has there been any improvement in the past year? This king doesn't want to end up being a puppet with no real power at all. Of course, this king will not be as willful as Zhu Youzhen, but at least he should have the capital to prevent himself from being controlled by others... ”
In fact, a year ago, Zhu Changxuan set up a new battalion of about 5,000 people according to some of the rumored military training methods of today's son, and he also received the tacit approval of many people. Although it seems to be an elite division in the exercise, and it is equipped with dozens of decent artillery, the whole team still has a different vitality from other Ming troops. However, the great victory of Qingyuan Nanyuan still shocked many people. A strong army that can compete with even the main force of Jianzhou in the plain march has made many people's original confidence have weakened a lot.
"Your Highness, rest assured! The Portuguese in Macau have temporarily formed an artillery team of 300 people willing to help His Highness, and the level of these people is obvious to His Highness last year... Moreover, what does Your Highness think is the reason why these people have so readily agreed to correspond to our troubles? In fact, in the past year, this son of heaven has angered a lot of people, and many people are secretly planning to rebel. Those who used to deduct military salaries also trained their families at least hard in the previous month, and used the surplus money to maintain the actual amount of the army. The big families who used to abide by the law are now almost all preparing for war. As the saying goes, "The king regards the minister as a mustard, and the minister regards the king as an enemy," a staff member said with confidence.
In fact, not only outside the capital, but also within the capital, after some rumors that wanted to be like it reached the ears of many people. Even Pang Tianshou, who supported the new emperor's accession to the throne at the beginning, felt a trace of uneasiness and panic. Especially when many eunuchs in the Imperial Horse Prison had long been unwilling to buy because of the withdrawal of the Imperial Village and the Forbidden City. In just a few months, inside and outside the capital, the entire Ming Dynasty seemed to have begun to brew a civil war that was about to come.
However, at this time, the non-war intrigues and tricks did not give up. Some of the palace insiders who had been arranged as a means of lurking were also quietly ready to launch at this time.
