Chen Wen has already made a calculation on the issue of raw materials, but the stall of land division is still a bit big, and Quzhou is still in a state of war, so these calculations can only be ideas for the time being.

However, with the recent standardization of production, the differences between each firearm began to narrow, and the production of kits was put on the production schedule. After several rounds of experiments with the newly produced gun, the Department of Military Industry quickly obtained a quantity sufficient to ensure the launch of the gun, and used it to fill the medicine bag. On the battlefield, the firecracker only needs to bite open or tear open the paper medicine bag and directly import the firecracker, without the need to be distracted in the fierce battle to estimate the amount of the import, reducing the possibility of insufficient gunpowder or exploding.

It's just that the mass production of the wheel-type bolt is still a problem, and Chen Wen has to install the produced one on the more powerful Lumi gun for the time being. In addition, the other Lumi guns produced according to the needs of expansion and wear and tear still use the old arquebus bolts. As for the bird gun, because there is a certain degree of lack of power in the well-made cotton armor that is more equipped to break the Qing army, it will no longer continue to be produced, and the bird guns of each department have also begun to enter the stage of rotation and elimination.

Purely with material strength began to be promoted, based on the basic common sense of "spiritual civilization and material civilization, both hands must be grasped, and both hands must be firm". On the fourth day of the seventh month of the sixth year of Yongli, on this day destined to be engraved in history, the Huaxia Fuxing Society was established in a renovated mansion in the city of Jinhua Fufu, and this day was also the day when the first batch of members took the oath to join the association.

Chen Wen pondered the program and constitution of the Huaxia Revival Association for a few days, and stayed up with Zhou Jingting for two nights, and finally tossed it out. Of course, the main thing is to thank the ideological and political courses, programs, and constitutions when I was a young student, many of which were copied from the party constitution of the republic era, but they were revised to a certain extent according to this era.

At this moment, a red background embroidered with bamboo slips and the Spring and Autumn style ancient sword crossed on the flag hung in the main seat of the hall, under which is an offering table, enshrined the statue of Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor holding a bamboo slip in one hand and a sword in the other. Since it is the revival of China, it is natural to worship Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor. Chen Wen respectfully put on three sticks of incense in front of the first batch of members who were about to join the club, and then began to read out the opening speech.

The opening speech was written by Zhou Jingting, and the Chinese Revival Association itself was based on the ancient Chinese nationalist thought represented by the Confucian Confucian idea of Yixia Zhifang, so Zhou Jingting's opening speech, program and constitution were also quoted from the Confucian classics.

In Chen Wen's time, Confucianism was inherited for 2,000 years, and by the end of the Qing Dynasty, when the local doctrine could not achieve national prosperity and strength, people began to learn from other countries, and Confucianism began to be gradually replaced by imported goods. Although Confucianism has not been completely extinct, it is no longer the mainstream of social thought. But in this era, Confucianism still reigned, and even the barbarian king Yijun wanted to wrap himself up in what Confucianism called orthodoxy in order to strengthen his rule through the ethics of the monarch and his ministers.

In this era, the Chinese have not yet been beaten to the ground by the West, and it is 100% impossible to completely abandon Confucianism and use unknown foreign ideas as its purpose. Chen Wen did not know whether his method of reiterating the defense of Yixia and integrating the Confucian core of "benevolence" with modern nationalist ideas would succeed, nor what impact it would have on the future.

However, since the current Confucian scholars are no longer the core idea of "benevolence" that the pre-Qin Confucian scholars followed, and Chen Wen also needed the power of faith to strengthen himself, it became the only option he could imagine to create faith with the help of Yixia's defense.

As for the future, Chen Wen knew that with the iron hooves of the Manchu Qing Dynasty stepping all over Kyushu, there were also many ideas among the Confucian scholars in the late Ming Dynasty that emphasized the great defense of Huayi, such as "the defense of Yixia is greater than the morality of the monarch and the minister". In the future, if we can recruit great Confucians such as Huang Zongxi, Gu Yanwu, Zhu Zhiyu, Lu Liuliang, Wang Fuzhi, or other inspired Confucian students, we can completely improve on the existing basis.

In fact, Chen Wen did not believe that there was a way in this world that would not be easy to do, and the rise and fall of the Ming Dynasty was the best example. Besides, if you can't win now, there is no future. As for the future, there are naturally descendants to worry about, so why rush for a while.

The meaning of the opening speech was simple and appalling, and the scriptures were quoted everywhere, but except for Sun Yu, Zhou Jingting, Gu Shouli, and Qi Xiufeng, none of the first batch of members at this venue were any scholars, and almost all of them were middle and senior military officers who had only completed the preliminary literacy eradication.

Perhaps, the next opening statement should be in the vernacular.

Fortunately, Chen Wen did not take the trouble to translate the following oath of joining the party into classical Chinese, and directly revised it according to the "Oath of Joining the Party" in the ideological and political class. After reading out the list of members who participated in the oath, Chen Wen turned to face the flag and the statue of Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor, hung his right hand in a fist on his temple, and began to chant loudly.

"I, Chen Wen, volunteered to join the Chinese Revival Association, support the program of the club, abide by the club's constitution, fulfill the obligations of members, implement the club's decisions, strictly abide by the club's discipline, and keep the club's secrets. Loyal to the club, actively work, and strive for the great cause of expelling the Tatars, saving the people, recovering the old land of the Han family, and rebuilding the Chinese civilization, and is always ready to sacrifice everything for the club and the Chinese people. If there is an act of betrayal, God will hate it, God will hate it! ”

In fact, these people have long been able to memorize the oath backwards, even if they are not read by Chen Wenling, they can memorize it word for word. After all, in their opinion, to be able to enter the Huaxia Fuxing Society of this Laoshizi is to enter the inner circle of the Chen Wen Kangqing group, but those four scholars have more faith in their hearts - faith from Confucianism.

After taking the oath one by one according to their respective names, Chen Wen took out a badge made of bamboo slips and ancient swords cast in the same mold, solemnly nailed it to the member's chest clothes, and then performed a flat-chested salute, followed by the same return gift.

Chen Wen's previous plan to abolish kneeling in the army had to be abandoned due to the existence of civilian officials in the supervising army. However, in the club, Chen Wen still abolished the kneeling salute, and only the members only had to bow with their chests flat, and the title was also gay, that is, people with common aspirations. Even if this is more of a formalism, Chen Wen firmly believes that it will subtly influence the members and root ideas such as equality and freedom.

After taking the oath, the next step is for the new members to pledge their determination to the club and will not leave until the closing remarks are over. However, there is an organizational meeting tomorrow, and they still need to come to prepare for the expansion of the organization and the inclusion of more members.

………………

At the same time, in the distant Guangxi battlefield, Li Dingguo was completely ignorant of the scene in Zhejiang, which was different from Chen Wen, who intended to touch his joy. Moreover, even if he knew this, he would definitely not have so much time to think about it at the moment, because the battle to recover Guangxi had reached its final moment.

In April of the sixth year of Yongli, Li Dingguo entered Hunan from Guizhou, and in mid-May he joined Feng Shuangli, who had confronted the Qing army for a year, to besiege Jingzhou, and soon defeated the reinforcements sent by Shen Yongzhong, the Duke of Xushun, and annihilated the Qing army of 5,163 people (including 103 Manchurian soldiers), and took advantage of the victory to recover Jingzhou and Wugang Prefecture, which is known as the great victory of Jingzhou in history.

Next, Shen Yongzhong, who lost his troops and lost his generals, fled north in a hurry under the fierce offensive of the Ming army and the hopelessness of asking for help. In the following months, the Southwest Ming Army, dominated by the Great Western Army, soon recovered other prefectures and counties in Hunan except for Yuezhou, Changde and Chenzhou, and even Changsha, the provincial capital of Hunan, was no exception, and almost recovered the entire Hunan in one go.

A month after the victory in Jingzhou, it was found that Shen Yongzhong and the entire Qing army in Hunan were no longer able to resist, so Li Dingguo and Feng Shuangli divided their troops into two places, and led a Ming army from Wugang and Xinning to Quanzhou, and annihilated the Qing army in Quanzhou on June 28 a few days ago. The next day, Kong Youde, who personally mentioned the army, was defeated by Li Dingguo again, and the history records that "floating corpses cover the river", so he had to retreat to Guilin.

The Ming army approached Guilin on June 30, and Kong Youde knew that he was powerless to resist, so he flew to the Admiral Line Guoan to defend Nanning on the second day of July, as well as Ma Xiong, the general soldier on the left wing guarding Wuzhou, and the general soldier on the right to defend Liuzhou, and Quanjie, to abandon the place and return to the provincial capital of Guilin with all their might. At the same time, Li Dingguo quickly surrounded Guilin. By this time, Wushengmen had been captured by the Ming army, and the army swarmed in, intending to extinguish the last resistance of the Qing army.

In Guilin's original Jingjiang Palace, now the Dingnan Palace, Kong Youde, one of the Manchu Three Shun Kings, learned that the Ming army had entered the city, slashed and killed dozens of palace dependents with knives, and then returned to the apse where a large number of treasures were stored.

Looking at the boxes of dazzling gold, silver, jewelry, and jade antiques, Kong Youde couldn't help but think of the siege of Dengzhou by the Ming army after the Wuqiao Mutiny.

Kong Youde, a defender of Gaizhou in Liaodong, his family was a miner in Tieling, after Nurhachi captured Tieling, his family organized a miners' rebellion and died in Liaodong, and once accumulated merit to the Guangning Army guerrilla. In the second year of the Apocalypse, Shaling was defeated, the Guangning army was annihilated, Xiong Tingbi and the governor Wang Huazhen abandoned the land, Kong Youde fled to Lushun, and began to be a general under the account of Mao Wenlong, the general soldier of the Dongjiang River.

However, the good times did not last long, in the first year of Chongzhen, Yuan Chonghuan, the governor of Jiliao, was good at killing Mao Wenlong, the military general of Jijie, and Chen Jisheng, the successor of Mao Wenlong, also died soon at the hands of the general Liu Xingzhi.

In the fourth year of Chongzhen, the Qing army besieged the Daling River, Kong Youde was ordered to rush to the aid and marched to Wuqiao, the military supplies were insufficient, the soldiers robbed and caused a mutiny, and the Dengzhou Rebellion broke out. In the second year, the Ming court failed to appease the rebellion, and the Guanning army was ordered to quell the rebellion, and Kong Youde and other rebels were defeated and were forced to abandon Dengzhou and surrender to the previous mortal enemy Manchu Qing. Since then, the Manchu Qing Dynasty has fought many times.

In the seventeenth year of Chongzhen, the Manchu Qing Dynasty entered the customs, and Kong Youde followed Duoduo to suppress the anti-Qing movement in Jiangnan. Later, General Pingnan was ordered to attack Guangxi, and captured Guilin in the fourth year of Yongli. In the battle, Zhu Hengshu, the king of Jingjiang, Qu Shiyun, the governor of the university, and Zhang Tongchang, the governor of Guangxi, were all killed by Kong Youde after the war because they refused to surrender.

Since the capture of Guilin in the fourth year of Yongli and the capture of the entire Guangxi, Kong Youde sent his generals to guard various places, and his own family became a rich prince in Guilin by relying on rampant conquest. However, at this moment, the Ming army had already entered the provincial capital. Looking back on the past, Kong Youde looked at these gold, silver and jewelry, full of sadness and remorse.

At the beginning, their father and son led the Tieling Rebellion, and his father was killed by the Qing army. Later, even if the Shaling was defeated and the Guangning army was annihilated, he never gave up his faith, fled to Lushun, and joined Mao Wenlong's account.

However, with the deaths of Mao Wenlong and Chen Jisheng, the chaos in Dongjiang Town and the ostracization of the Liaodong warriors in Shandong led to a mutiny with the looting caused by the "death on the Daling River" and the shortage of grain.

In the days that followed, it can be said that there was no turning back after one wrong step. Between life and death, he quickly forgot about the blood feud and chose to defect to his former father-killing enemy, and since then he has made great contributions to the Manchu Qing Dynasty. Relying on the shameless and brutal slaughter of the people, Kong Youde obtained the throne of King Gongshun, and later changed his title to the king of Dingnan, captured and defended Guangxi for the Manchu Dynasty.

Along the way, Kong Youde, a fierce general who once resisted the Qing army on the battlefield in Liaodong, has completely become a lackey of an alien race, immersed in the life of waging his tail and begging for wealth at the feet of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, biting to death for his master Any Han family son who dares to resist foreign invasion is like killing the former him.

To this day, Li Dingguo, the commander of the Ming army he had never heard of, a former western thief, broke the Qing army in Hunan with a devastating momentum, and beat Shen Yongzhong, the prince of Xushun, who had asked him for help but was rejected because of personal grudges, to the ground looking for teeth, hating his father and mother for having a few legs and fleeing north. And today, he entered Guangxi in one fell swoop, captured the provincial capital he personally guarded, and forced him into a desperate situation.

Two days ago, Kong Youde, who had been shaken, planned to surrender to the Ming army, and also sent a military general who was familiar with Li Dingguo's general Ma Jinzhong to investigate the situation. At least at that time, he firmly believed that with the title of King of Dingnan and other prefectures and garrisons in Guangxi, as well as his relationship with Pingnan and Jingnan, he should be able to exchange for a wealth and wealth, which is nothing more than a change of court.

However, after all these years of support, he had already developed a fear of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and hesitated to reach this moment, the Ming army had captured the city gate, and it was impossible for the limited defenders to expel the Ming army again, and he also gave up his intention to surrender. Because it wasn't until the moment the city was broken that he completely thought clearly, this hesitation was not just out of fear, following the Manchu Qing to slaughter so many Han people, he no longer had the face to return to the camp of the Ming court.

"Dad, Mao Shuai, I lived up to your expectations, not only did I not go to avenge you, but I also voted for Tartar for fear of death. I don't have the face to see you again. ”

After that, Kong Youde threw the torch in his hand on the flammable brocade, and backhanded the waist knife that was still dripping blood across his neck. In just a moment, with the blood spurting out, he fell heavily into the flames, and learned about this sinful and ridiculous life. (To be continued.) )
