Chapter 680: Father and Son
In the three years since the outbreak of the war, a lot has changed. This kind of change is not only a superficial change, but also a deep change, which is changing the country and the nation.
At the beginning of the war, the people were almost numb to the war, they had no idea what the war had to do with them, and for many they were simply transported to accept the war as subjects, and to do their part in the war.
For thousands of years, it seems that this has always been the case, it seems, for the common people, war, has nothing to do with them, war, for them, is far away, unless one day, a conscription order is sent to them, and beyond that, there is no more contact.
But now, everything has changed, and the three years of war have been like a catalyst not only for the rapid development of the country's industrial economy, but also for the people, a sense of national pride that has never been felt before, because the continuous victory in the war is stirring in the hearts of the people.
Victory is a stimulant, stimulating the whole country and stimulating the soul of this nation to undergo a sharp change to a certain extent!
As the emperor, Zhu Yifeng knows all this very well, he has witnessed the changes in the country little by little, and he has always seen these changes, after all, many of them are promoted by him.
"Goal!" Looking at the colored paper on the surface outside the window, Zhu Yifeng said to his son Zhu Fenghai beside him, he is the crown prince of the Chinese Empire and the heir of the empire.
"As emperors, we must find a source of strength for people and give them spiritual support! Only in this way can we rule the country for a long time. In his father's teaching, Zhu Fenghai, who was only nine years old, was thoughtful
He didn't even have a vague understanding of the "Emperor's Art", but that didn't prevent him from learning from his father.
"It's like we use it now
The slogan of "the great cause of rejuvenating the Chinese nation" makes people feel worthy of the Chinese nation, and the sense of mission of making the country strong and prosperous is full of everyone.
And to achieve this, we can also use racial prejudice to blame all the faults of failure and poverty
"Other nations that are not of my race" use the insignificance and meanness of these nations to set off our greatness and nobility, so that all Chinese feel that only by defeating them and eliminating them can they gain space for survival and regain their dignity...... "Politics is always ugly, especially when everything is revealed naked, everything is but with its purpose, and all things that seem to be great and upright, in fact, have their unknown side.
In the past few years, Zhu Yifeng has used these tactics to promote his rule, but the war has further intensified and advanced all this.
"Father, isn't the role of the Boy Scouts to do this, but also to find a target for them?" Tilting his head, Zhu Fenghai thought about mentioning the Boy Scouts, after all, he was also a member of the Boy Scouts, and even the honorary president, after all, he was the crown prince and the heir to the throne of the Chinese Empire, and when considering the honorary president, Zhu Yifeng also considered his own people, but he finally chose his son because of his identity.
And more importantly, if nothing happens, the next generation of Chinese elites will come from the Scouts.
The position of honorary president has certain benefits for his son's future. If at the beginning, Zhu Yifeng thought about how to overthrow the Manchu Qing Dynasty and achieve the prosperity and strength of the country, but now, he has to face another problem - how to maintain this dynasty.
Maintaining the rule of the dynasty is something that every ruler must face, and it is also a responsibility that cannot be avoided, because having a vision ahead of the times makes him very clear about the present
The "Emperor**" will eventually come to an end, but until it ends, it must be maintained well and not allowed to be violently overthrown.
"Why did we start Scouting?"
In view of the moral decay and physical weakness of Chinese youth due to 200 years of Manchu enslavement, a workable training method was developed to try to save the crisis. to train
"Loyalty to discipline" and
"Good citizen" for the purpose of reawakening the lost
"Martial spirit" so as not to suffer the mistakes of the previous dynasties and the country...... "As a member of the Scout, Zhu Fenghai naturally knew the purpose of founding the Scout, so he directly answered with the most standard answer.
"It's just a superficial purpose!" Shaking his head, Zhu Yifeng looked at his son in a scout uniform and said.
"We started Scouting not just by training
"Loyalty to discipline" and
The purpose of "good citizenship" is not just to reawaken the lost
The reason why we have spared no effort to organize the youth of the whole country through various means such as newspapers, magazines, slogans, and school education, especially after the outbreak of this war, we have organized all the scouts over the age of 11 and spent tens of millions of yuan to let them participate in various summer camps, hold various sports competitions, hike camps, and even group gymnastics and bodybuilding competitions, choirs and theatrical performances, etc., in order to arouse the enthusiasm of the young people. Cultivate them to align themselves with the ideas of the state.
And this consistency will eventually affect their lives...... "If Zhu Yifeng is what Zhu Yifeng is best at compared to people in this era, I am afraid that what he is best at is to indoctrinate teenagers with a certain ideology through these collective activities, and in this world, under his strong promotion, this ideological indoctrination has become a certain kind of indoctrination
"Brainwashing". And this
What is the ultimate purpose of "brainwashing", is to cultivate a generation
"Loyal subjects". It is precisely because of this that in Zhu Yifeng's view, the annual scout funding of 15 million yuan is worth it, which seems huge, but compared to its return in the future, it is almost not worth mentioning, because what it returns is that 20 million scouts receive brainwashing ideological indoctrination in collective life every year. And this means that the backbone of society as a whole, in the coming decades, will influence their ideology through the Scouting organizations they have adopted in their childhood, and under the influence of this ideology instilled in their youth, their future is already predestined – they will become
"Loyal subjects!". And this is exactly what Zhu Yifeng needs, and it is also planned by him!
When mentioning these, Zhu Yifeng thought of the words that the head of state in another time and space had said
"This generation of young people doesn't have to learn anything but think the German way and act the German way. They went from the Cadet Corps to the Hitler Youth, and then we immediately recruited them into the party. If they had not fully become Nazis there, they would have joined the Young Compulsory Labor Army. If, at some point, they have not developed a class consciousness or a sense of superiority over their social status, the Wehrmacht will take up the task and they will no longer be free for the rest of their lives. This is exactly what Zhu Yifeng is aiming for, and of course, he can't do it like Hitler
"It will only end when the last German steps into the grave." But he can do at least the first half, what is needed is through a kind of mental indoctrination, to form a national sense of loyalty, so that they can become
"His Majesty's loyal subjects", only in this way will they not make a revolution in the future. On the road ahead, they will be grateful to the royal family for returning part of their power to the people, instead of greedily demanding more power, and even setting off a violent revolution in order to gain the so-called power, just like Germany after World War I.
Thinking of the revolution, Zhu Yifeng's brows tightened, for this word, he is now resistant, as a ruler, the first thing he thinks of is to maintain the rule!
But all this, he will only say it in front of his son, but even for his son, he has other expectations, looking at his son's frowning and thinking look, Zhu Yifeng touched his head and said.
"However, all this I am talking about is only applicable to this era, because we need to establish a national outlook in this era, which is unprecedented for the Chinese people, and there is a need to integrate North Korea, Japan, Vietnam, and sulfur into China, and in order to achieve this goal, we have to go through decades of consciousness indoctrination to achieve this goal,......" Thinking of these four vassal states, Zhu Yifeng's gaze seems a little complicated, in the next few decades, how to make these four countries, especially the first three, merge into China, For China, it will be a test that has never been seen before, and the three countries have a population of more than 50 million, so why are they integrating into China?
In fact, not only these three countries, but also the millions of Europeans of Australia, New Zealand and Canada, who will also become subjects of the empire in the future, the first three have a thousand years of Chinese culture as a basic identity, but what about the latter?
Fortunately, their population is small, and it is easy to integrate into the country, and in the end, even Korea, Japan, and Vietnam can solve the problem with a large population base.
"That's why my father encouraged the people of the country to intermarry with the subjects of the vassal states such as the dynasty, Japan, and Vietnam?" Inadvertently, Zhu Fenghai thought of the dozens of couples his father and wife who met in the palace during the Spring Festival a few months ago, most of them were successful businessmen and landlords in the colonies, and their wives were all from feudal countries without exception.
"It's fusion!" Looking at his son, Zhu Yifeng said with a smile.
"This is the integration of nationalities, and we need to let them dissolve into us and become part of China through this integration, of course, this integration is for us to integrate them, not ......" thought of another time and space, the so-called experts preached
"Fusion", Zhu Yifeng smiled coldly.
"Instead of letting others merge with us......" Seeing that his son seemed a little puzzled, Zhu Yifeng smiled and realized that he was only nine years old, so he smiled,
"Of course, you don't need to think about these now, after all, your future will be very different from the present, any rule is based on the times, and when you grow up in the future, you will face a completely different world, now, we have only just opened this door...... "What kind of door is this door?"
Even as an emperor, Zhu Yifeng doesn't know, but he knows very well that at least now, China is far stronger than any period in history, as long as his descendants don't too much
"Doing" can at least guarantee that the Chinese Empire will be the most powerful empire in the world in the next two hundred years, and this strength is not only the huge size of the country.
Australia, North America...... These lands will fundamentally alleviate China's demographic pressure, which is not the most important thing, but more importantly, the future of China will learn from the outside world with a Tang mentality, not be complacent, and this mentality will ensure that China will no longer lag behind the West as it did in the past.
However, it seems that the current victory has intoxicated the people, and there have begun to be some strange voices in the newspapers, and they seem to feel that there is no need for China to learn from the West now, and it seems that Chinese civilization is once again ahead of the world.
Lights, generators...... It seems that these inventions are proof that Chinese civilization is ahead of the world, and many people are willing to revel in this kind of strength, especially the victory on the battlefield proves this and proves the strength of Chinese civilization.
Even some conservatives, because of this series of victories, began to preach the advanced Chinese civilization, this mentality is of course positive, but if because of this mentality refuse to learn from the outside world, refuse to recognize the development of the West in some aspects, then it will undoubtedly be a disaster for the fledgling Chinese science and technology.
"It's difficult......" sighed in his heart, Zhu Yifeng has a taste in his heart can be described as a mixture of flavors, as a latecomer, he knows very well what China's so-called leadership is now, it is simply rootless, the leading position of Western science and technology in China is not learned through ten or twenty years of study, China may be able to establish a far more powerful industry than the West in ten or twenty years, but if you want to fully surpass the West, it will take at least half a century, just like the United States has surpassed Britain at the end of the 19th century, But the level of science and technology of the United States until the thirties was inferior to that of the leading European powers.
"Well, it seems that we have to find a way to tighten the rope for them, and we have to beat down this complacent......" Thinking so in his heart, Zhu Yifeng looked out of the car, now that the carriage has arrived outside the city, it will soon reach its destination...... If nothing else, the new book will be released next week, I hope everyone can continue to support Speechless, this will be a very enthusiastic, a very burning one!
A wonderful story, I hope we can continue to walk all the way by then!
