"Yes, this kind of collective preference that can be called 'pan-ideologization' has developed the habit of us liking to 'go online', and we always like to magnify the simple 'problem' dispute into a huge 'ism' battle, nothing to do, small things to make a big deal, big things to collapse, never compromise, fight to the end, you live and die, keep tossing."

Speaking of these, Yang Shuoming's voice also became extremely sad.

This was the case with the reforms of the late Qing Dynasty, especially the political reforms. All factions have raised the banner of 'Heaven and Earth Monarch' or 'Salvation and Survival' to compete for legitimacy, resources and even discourse dominance, while ignoring the deepening of the so-called 'utensils' and technical aspects that have always focused on people's livelihood in the Westernization Movement. Under the banner of political reform, which keeps pace with the times, the elite is almost entirely engaged in the traditional game of seizing power, and once it does, it is business as usual, the slogans are still exciting, and the reality is still dark. Yang Shuoming seems to have fallen into a long historical memory, "Regarding the ** and reform situation in the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China, we can make the following assertion: 'The battle between the 'god' and the 'demon' is not a struggle for heaven, but for the right to rule hell." So no matter who wins or loses, hell is still the same hell to this day. ’”

"Listening to you, it's always so painful." Chen Yan smiled bitterly and nodded.

Chen Eun didn't know that Yang Shuoming, as a "descendant", had a deeper understanding and experience of these than anyone in this era.

China's pan-ideological transformation has caused hypocrites to run rampant, calling for morality all day long while ignoring the construction of more basic rules, and as a result, the entire country and nation have become seriously schizophrenic, which has been manifested beyond the reach of later generations.

It's just that Yang Shuoming now has no chance to see these.

After the defeat of the First Sino-Japanese War, China entered the era of the Great Leap Forward of "the omnipotence of the system", especially since 1911, when Xinhai ** opened a new round of "**", the mainstream of modern politics has become the "ruffian movement" and "gangster politics". Like Yuan Shikai, although he has done a lot of practical things for China, but now not many people remember his exploits, but only remember his "restoration of the imperial system", Yuan Shikai does not understand, he said that the tragedy of the emperor is that he tried to pursue the name and the truth, but he did not know that this society can only accept "hypocrites" now, and no longer tolerate "real villains"

Pan-ideology has a strong self-replication function, and quickly forms a closed cycle - the more you go online, the more enemies you make on all sides; The more enemies are made on all sides, the more you need to go online. The "soft" contradictions, which could have been resolved through negotiation and compromise and achieved a win-win situation, must now be fought to the death through brutal struggle, ruthless attacks, and a "rigid" zero-sum method of life and death, and the final result is often a lose-lose situation.

In this kind of "political command" mentality, the whole Chinese society is full of anger, there is no platform for trust, and there is no mechanism for building trust, just like a jungle world, no one has a sense of security, and everyone plays the dual role of victim and perpetrator at the same time, and the endless struggle has greatly damaged the vitality of the Chinese nation.

Under the pan-ideology, the "political reform" with rich connotations has become a single movement to overthrow and dismember the rulers, and the alienation has become a catwalk and a tool for political contention for all parties. Those who shout about the so-called "political reform" are not necessarily for the sake of democracy and people's livelihood; In fact, those who oppose the so-called "political reform" are not necessarily stubborn, ignorant, and conservative.

"Have you ever thought about how to resolve these contradictions?" Chen Yan asked.

"The core of China's political reform is actually the monitoring of power, the separation of powers and checks and balances, and this is mainly a 'technical work', not any 'ideology' and 'ism'." Yang Shuoming said, "For our superpower, whose total population exceeds the population of many countries, this kind of reform itself is a way to maintain the vitality of the body, and even a way to 'survive'. ”

At this time, Yang Shuoming's thoughts, because of Chen Huan's questioning, returned to the time and space where he was originally located.

In later generations, after ten years of turmoil, the Chinese finally ushered in the spring breeze of reform, but reform, especially "political reform", is still full of traces of "pan-ideology".

Originally, some technical problems and capacity problems in government management, such as some conflicts caused by local governments' one-sided pursuit of GDP, and even some conflicts between the private sector around specific economic interests, have been raised to the level of "ideology" of the rulers, intentionally or unintentionally. In fact, similar problems will appear in any country in the world, and they have nothing to do with "ideology", but this kind of government management technology is precisely what this ancient nation that is long in seizing power and destroying and short in construction, and some of these problems, such as food fraud, such as lack of business integrity, such as lack of public relations ethics, have appeared in every historical period in China, which mainly stems from the inferior roots of the nation, but is also blamed on the rulers, which can be said to be a good way for many Chinese to shirk their responsibilities. If you push any problem on the head of the "evil government", you will be innocent, just and irresponsible...,

In the same way, some government departments also tend to take the right seat and take care of everything, and they have to "put some criticisms aimed at specific people and things on the line" to the level of "ideological offensive and defensive warfare." For a time, there was a lot of noise, and the grass and trees were all soldiers, and as a result, the normal friction between different interest groups in the reform game was completely absorbed on themselves at all, and turned into friction between various interest groups and the government. This pathetic and ignorant act of taking care interprets all the fluctuations generated by the normal game of society as "instability", and then forcibly suppresses all kinds of frictions in order to maintain the rigid so-called "stability", but as a result, even greater friction is brewed, which eventually leads to the intensification of contradictions

"Stability" overrides everything, but it does not resolve contradictions, and as a result, contradictions eventually overwhelm stability

"And to really solve the problem, the root cause is that we must get out of the shackles of this 'pan-ideology'." Yang Shuoming said, looking into the distance, "Chinese have an extraordinary ability to alienate all external frameworks into speculative profit-making tools. Since the late Qing Dynasty to the present, China has almost become an intensive testing ground for all kinds of 'isms', and after all kinds of 'isms' were imported into China, they were all completely deformed and distorted without exception, and the 'sinicization' was replaced. This is the illusion and illusion of Chinese characteristics, as long as we get out of this illusion and illusion, probably China will be able to move forward in a down-to-earth manner and avoid falling on its heels......"

Listening to Yang Shuoming's words that seemed to be an answer and seemed to be talking to himself, Chen Eun's face showed approval, he didn't say anything more, and the observation cabin fell silent for a while.

At this time, the parachute landing operation to occupy the Liu family's compound had come to an end, and an officer reported the situation on the ground to Yang Shuoming, Yang Shuoming nodded, and said to Chen Huan: "Let's go down and meet this 'Liu Laohu'." ”

"You two have worked hard."

"You two did a good job this time. You can get a good rest when you go back. ”

"We have found the evidence you have gathered, and the accusations against Liu Wencai will be used this time."

Listening to the words of the officer who released them, Liu Desheng and Tao Shiyong looked at each other embarrassedly and smiled.

At this time, there were busy people everywhere, and Liu Desheng and Tao Shiyong didn't want to interfere with other people's work, so they walked around the yard.

Although Liu Wencai has been locked up for so many days, the two of them still have no idea what the Liu family's compound looks like, and now that they have the opportunity, they can just take a look everywhere.

The paratroopers and investigators were cleaning up and sealing the items, and all the people of the Liu family were held in the courtyard. Some dead bodies were also dragged to the middle of the courtyard, neatly lined up, Tao Shiyong saw that the group that had bullied her had now become a cold corpse, although she was ashamed when she thought of his insult to herself, but seeing the smoking gun hole on his body, she couldn't help but feel a trace of pity in her heart.

When the paratroopers carried out the airborne landing, although Liu Wencai ordered no resistance, not all of them received his order, and some of the regiments still fired, but under the attack of the fierce paratroopers, these people were either killed or wounded, and in order to save their lives, they soon all gave up resistance.

At this time, there was still a faint smell of gunpowder smoke in the air, Liu Desheng and Tao Shiyong walked side by side, and the two of them remembered what they had encountered in the past few days, and they were both emotional.

The two unconsciously came to the door of the Liu family's compound, and at this time, a group of people suddenly appeared at the door, and Liu Desheng recognized who the first two people were among the many guards, and couldn't help but be surprised.

"Why is General Xiao Yang here?" Tao Shiyong recognized Yang Shuoming's figure, "Isn't he in Beijing?" ”。

Although Yang Shuoming has been in charge of the Ministry of Finance for some days, Tao Shiyong and other young people are still used to calling him "General Xiao Yang".

"Chen Yan is also here." Liu Desheng said, "This Liu Wencai's face looks really small."

The two of them dodged and retreated to the side, and at this time Yang Shuoming had also noticed the two young men, he seemed to be stunned for a moment when he saw Liu Desheng, and his eyes stayed on Liu Desheng for a few seconds.

Liu Desheng saw that Yang Shuoming looked a little excited, he unconsciously raised his hand and saluted Yang Shuoming, Yang Shuoming seemed to understand something, bowed his head slightly at him, and then walked forward quickly.

Yang Shuoming and Chen Yan came to the living room of the Liu family's compound and sat down, and several officers and on-site responsible personnel briefly reported to him about the situation here. …,

"What about the casualties?" Yang Shuoming asked.

"Just now, we counted again, we have 12 people injured, 7 people have been killed and 25 people have been injured by the armed personnel of the Liu Government." An officer replied.

"Are all the guards of the Liu Mansion who died?".

"Three people are members of the Liu Mansion, one is the guardian, and the other three, according to the servants of the Liu Mansion, should be members of the Pao Brothers' Society."

"In this way, the matter between him and Brother Pao is also true." Yang Shuoming and Chen Huan exchanged glances.

"Liu Wencai's tobacco storage tank for storing opium has been found, built underground, like a water prison, and the amount of cigarettes stored is huge, and the specific number is being counted." A person in charge said, "Liu Wencai has handed over the accounts. ”

"Good." Yang Shuoming nodded, "Did you tell him about his crimes?" ”。

"The prosecutor's office has already told him that he has confessed to the crime." The person in charge replied.

"I didn't expect him to confess his guilt quite well." Chen Yan said with a smile.

"Bring him to me." Yang Shuoming said.

After a while, Liu Wencai was taken to the living room.

When Liu Wencai saw Yang Shuoming sitting in the center of the hall for the first time, his body was as if he had been struck by lightning, and his legs were so weak that he almost collapsed, but the two paratroopers firmly grabbed his arms so that he did not fall.

"In Xia Liu Wencai, I have seen Chief Yang and General Chen here." Liu Wencai said in a trembling voice.

"Do you recognize me?" Yang Shuoming looked at this big landlord who could be said to be a "household name" in later generations, and the expression on his face was a little complicated, "We haven't met before, right?" Quite a few words"

"North Cai Nanyang, famous all over the world, I'm afraid that there are not many people who don't know." Liu Wencai sighed and said.

"I forgot, your brother Liu Wenhui is in the army." Yang Shuoming said, "He may already know the news from you here now, and he is rushing here." ”

"It's useless, if he knew it was you, he would definitely go back." Liu Wencai shook his head and said.

"What I arrested you for this time, you must already be clear." Yang Shuoming said.

"Self-inflicted, you can't live, I used to think that maybe one day, someone will arrest me." Liu Wencai smiled bitterly, "But what I didn't expect was that I would be arrested in my own home." ”

"As an opium suppression commissioner, you have violated the law and committed an unforgivable crime, and the laws of these countries have clear provisions, so I will not say more." Yang Shuoming said, "What I want to ask you is about the Pao Brothers' Association. ”

Hearing Yang Shuoming mention the "Robe Brothers' Club", Liu Wencai's legs were weak again, and cold sweat on his forehead also broke out.

"You have to think clearly, this is actually your chance to make meritorious service and atone for your sins." Yang Shuoming seemed to see through Liu Wencai's thoughts, and said coldly.

"Yes, yes, I understand." Liu Wencai wiped his face with his sleeve and said in a trembling voice.

At this time, Liu Wencai already knew that his net worth and life were completely in the hands of the other party.

Thinking of his Wanguan family wealth and Ling Junru's bone-eroding body, Liu Wencai turned his heart sideways.

"What does President Yang want to know, just ask, he knows everything and says everything. I only want to be able to atone for my sins in case of emergency. ”

"Good." Yang Shuoming looked at him and said, "Sit down and talk." It starts with you, how you colluded together. ”

After listening to Yang Shuoming's words, an investigator took a chair and asked Liu Wencai to sit down.

Liu Wencai showed a grateful smile to Yang Shuoming, and began to talk about it 1510.

Beijing, Jurentang, Spring Lotus Zhai.

Although the tour had ended the meeting, Cao Kun, Wu Peifu and others did not leave Beijing immediately, they had been looking for an opportunity to talk with Yang Shuoming, but what they did not expect was that the Minister General of Finance would suddenly appear in Sichuan.

"In Liu Wencai's case, he Yang Hanzhi actually took action in person, which is inevitably a bit of a fuss."

The two lakes patrol made Wu Peifu put down the newspaper in his hand and said.

"I'm afraid it's not necessarily a big fuss. He personally shot this time, and there must be a reason why he did it personally. Cao Kun shook his head and said, "Don't forget, since Xinhai, Sichuan has been the world of the Pao Brothers' Association. ”

"**The party can do such a thing, and the disaster is still in trouble," Wu Peifu sighed heavily.

At that time, the road protection movement launched by the ** party in Sichuan was able to be in full swing in a very short period of time, which actually had a lot to do with Brother Pao. At that time, in less than two months, most prefectures and counties in Sichuan established the so-called "Baolu Comrade Association", among which there were alliances and constitutionalists, but the most important force was actually the robe brothers in various places, and the forces that the alliance could rely on, that is, the robe brothers and the new army, such as Xiong Kewu, Yin Changheng, Yang Shukan, Wu Yuzhang, and others, who were in charge of the Sichuan League, also joined the robe brothers' association. Soon after, the uncles from all over the western Sichuan gathered in Luoquanjing, Zizhou, to hold a meeting of the Pao brothers, to discuss the matter of Baolu's anti-Qing Dynasty, and decided to change the "Baolu Comrades Association" to the "Baolu Comrade Army" and hold a major anti-Qing uprising in western Sichuan. After the outbreak of the Chengdu Bloody Massacre, the Baolu Comrade Army, with the Pao Brotherhood as the main body, began an armed rebellion in the province. Soon Chongqing declared its independence and established the Shu military government, and Zhang Peijue was promoted to the governor of the Shu army, and Xia Shishi was the deputy governor. After the Chengdu Mutiny, the comrades from all walks of life entered Chengdu, and Yin Changheng reorganized the Sichuan Military Government, with Yin Changheng and Luo Lun serving as the chief and deputy governors respectively, and the rule of the Qing government in Sichuan came to an end. After the success of the Baolu Comrade Army's uprising, a large number of Pao Brother's Association organizations were established in various parts of Sichuan, and Sichuan at that time became the world of Pao Brother, until today.

As a kind of gang organization, the Pao Brothers Association advocates chivalry and mutual assistance, attaches importance to the concept of patriarchy, and takes "Taoyuan Juyi", "Wagang Majesty" and "Liangshan Root" as examples, calling each other brothers, and even has the slogan of "everyone eats together, everyone in trouble" is the slogan. In some places, it is true that they can help each other, where the robe brother, when he arrives at other docks, as long as he worships the dock, he will also eat and live without worrying, so there is a proverb that "thousands of miles do not need firewood and rice, and thousands of miles do not light lamp oil". However, due to the participation of a large number of people of different compositions, theoretical equality and mutual aid are often actually patriarchal and hierarchical, and the internal hierarchies of each dock of the Pao Ge Guild are strict, even like masters and servants, and there are open and secret battles between the various docks, and even fire. Since the Pao Brothers' Association does not have a clear political goal, its direction of action often varies from person to person, time and event, and has a large degree of blind movement, so it is easy to be used by different political forces. In addition, Brother Pao has always had the difference between clear water and muddy water. Brother Qingshui does not participate in banditry activities, and Brother Muddy Water does robbery for a living (but does not rob the scope of the dock), basically a bandit armed with the king of the mountain, and the harm to ......the society is even greater.
