New Beginnings (11)

Chen Ke is skeptical of Marx's theory about the division of stages of human social development. Like many equally skeptical youths, Chen Ke believes that slavery, feudalism, and capitalism are not suitable for China. The era of large-scale slavery in China was only the Xia, Shang and Zhou periods, and even then, the slave class was never an independent class. Personal affiliation can be said to have a long history in China, but slavery has never been socially dominant. The Xia Shang Zhou was divided into "scholars", "countrymen" and "savages" as the main political power ranks. And in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, this division was only a superficial thing. Baili Xi first worked as a doctor in the Yu State, the Yu State was destroyed by the Jin State, he became a slave in the Jin State, and finally became a doctor in the Qin State, known as the "Five Doctors". Because Baili Xi ran from Jin to Chu, King Qin ransomed Baili Xi with five black sheepskins.

If this is the case at the top, it can be a special case. The Song Kingdom once lost a battle, and the general returned to the capital with the defeated soldiers, and those who repaired the city were similar to slaves, and actually sang songs to mock this group of defeated generals. In Chinese history, there were slaves in status, but the kind of slavery system that Marx mentioned did not exist in China.

As for the feudal system, the real feudal system in China was the Xia, Shang and Zhou eras. After the unification of Qin Shi Huang, partitioning was never a norm in Chinese history. Moreover, after the feudal system, the feudal domain was cut again and again. The centralized system of great unification is the tradition of China. And this system was not described by Marx at all.

Chen Ke originally thought that Marx was a European white skin, and it was the norm that he did not have a deep understanding of China, and in Marx's era, the European industrial countries were in their heyday, Chen Ke actually suspected that Marx himself may not be aware of it, and in Marx's subconscious, he also thought that white people were superior. But without investigation there is no right to speak, and in 1906 Marx was dead, and Engels was dead. It would be rude to write to Marx's family to ask about it. Moreover, Chen Ke considers himself a believer of Grandpa Mao and a later learner of Confucius and Xunzi, even if Marx really thinks that white people are superior, Chen Ke only wants to use Marx's ideas, and does not mean to whip the corpse.

However, after really investigating the Manchu era, Chen Ke felt that a statement he had encountered before was not necessarily unreasonable. China's bureaucracy can be considered in a sense the feudalism of the bureaucracy itself. The county order is called "Baili Hou", but it is not a new term coined by Chen Ke. At least in the late Qing Dynasty, the bureaucracy was probably a feudal system of taxation. Therefore, the castle stronghold system, which is similar to the European feudal system, is quite feudal.

However, this is all Chen Ke's own thoughts when he was thinking wildly, and the theoretical construction of wanting to overthrow a certain part of Marx is not the work that Chen Ke is ready to start now, and when the revolution is victorious, it can be carried out calmly. The imminent thing is military struggle, and Chen Ke's statement on military struggle at the meeting of the Central Military Commission is very simple, "The countryside surrounds the city. Based on the theory of Grandpa Mao, in view of the political characteristics of the Manchu strongholds, the People's Party let go to launch a revolution in the countryside, and the main force of the army carried out a devastating blow to the various strongholds of the Manchu Dynasty.

In Grandpa Mao's time, the militia organized by the landlords had always been the most stubborn enemy. However, the so-called militia needs the cooperation of the enemy's regular army, and without the cooperation of the enemy's regular army, the militia is equally vulnerable to the regular army of the revolutionary army. Since it is a militia group, the leaders are all landlords. After the physical elimination of this group of people, there will be no real enemies in the countryside.

When the People's Party's Workers' and Peasants' Revolutionary Army set out for Fengyang Mansion, they found that Chen Ke's assertion was quite correct. Since a few days ago, the "Insurance Regiment," the predecessor of the Workers' and Peasants' Revolutionary Army, has broken through the encirclement in all directions and has begun to set up base areas. The landlord's enclosure is now the territory of the new base areas. Even if there was such a big uproar, there was still no movement from Fengyang Mansion. Even Chen Ke, who had no illusions about the efficiency of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, felt that it was a bit excessive. But reality is always more bizarre than fiction. The base of the People's Party's latest development is only about 50 miles away from Fengyang Mansion, and Fengyang Mansion turned a blind eye.

The fighters of the Workers' and Peasants' Revolutionary Army did not have so many concerns, and the Fengyang Prefecture mobilized all the troops of the water detachment, with a total of one brigade. When the troops marched, they first took the Huai River waterway, and then entered Longzi Lake. After landing on the east bank of Longzi Lake, they prepared to continue to attack Fengyang Mansion to the east.

Fengyang Mansion is in the sun of Phoenix Mountain, so it is named. If it weren't for Zhu Yuanzhang, it wouldn't be very famous here. And the famous section in Fengyang Flower Drum is also "Since Zhu Yuanzhang came out, there have been nine years of famine in ten years." "Because of the frequent floods here, Fengyang Mansion is actually a rough name. Even the prefectural government changes with frequent floods.

In this sense, it may be more appropriate to think of Manchu rule in Fengyang as a feudal colonial system of authorized taxation. The backward productive forces have made the people exhausted and unable to engage in production just by coping with the floods. This is also a fact of Fengyang Mansion.

As soon as the troops got off the boat, a large number of people were already waiting on the shore. We have seen a lot of the ragged victims, but these victims are still quite different, and they are carrying all kinds of "weapons", but they are very energetic. When I saw the soldiers of the Workers' and Peasants' Revolutionary Army, my face did not have the same surprise as that common to ordinary people in other places. On the contrary, the faces of these people all showed radiance. For the time being, the People's Party has not yet opened up a base in this area of Fengyang County, but this does not mean that the people of Fengyang County are unaware of the existence of the People's Party. A young man in a long shirt stands in front of the people, and beside the youth is a liaison of the BJP. As soon as they saw the ranks of the Workers' and Peasants' Revolutionary Army approaching the shore, the two took the lead in meeting them.

The young man looked polite, he threw his hand at the people in the fleet, and shouted loudly: "In Xia Zhu Sanshui, it is a person from Waist Village." Who is the leader of the BJP? ”

The commander of this military operation is still Zhang Yu, and the commander of the fleet is Yan Fu. The two of them were on the boat at the front, and one of the reasons why Zhu Sanshui chose to dock here was that Zhu Sanshui volunteered to lead the locals to participate in the battle against Fengyang Mansion.

Zhu Sanshui's addition was not expected at all. The new base area was reluctant to be too ostentatious, and although the farthest base area had already reached Hongze Lake, it did not approach Fengyang Mansion too much for the time being. Zhu Sanshui took the initiative to go to the Tianhe base area and asked to join. One of the key points chosen by the BJP to develop a base area is to be near the water. Because of the flood, the people by the lakes were the most miserable.

After the responsible persons of each base area arrived at the base area, they all found that the situation they were facing was completely different from that of Fengtai County, and one of the most important differences was that there was no time to rush to harvest seeds. Although the fence was raised, there was no immediate reason to start rallying the labor of the people. Farming will not start until next year, and the people's stomachs are now starting to go hungry. The only way to deal with this is to form a "reclamation brigade" and use concentrated housing to save the amount of food supply.

For the secretaries of the various districts of the People's Party, this was a last resort. For the people, this is the only way to save lives. So all kinds of rumors began to spread at a great speed. The People's Party has countless grains here, and as long as they are willing to attach themselves to the People's Party, everyone will have food and shelter. In the past, when I was in Fengtai County, the people had been concentrated in the house, and the news spread unhappily. Now that the base area has been expanded, the scope of contact with the victims has been greatly expanded.

Zhu Sanshui was a scholar, but he was not able to be admitted to Xiucai before the imperial examination was abolished. Fortunately, the family is also a little thin, and there is no hope of fame, so it is always good to farm. As a result, when the flood came, there was no hope of farming. After hearing the rumors of the People's Party, Zhu Sanshui immediately felt that this newly rising force was by no means a "good man and a woman". In recent years, the government has not responded to disasters, and the private forces have spontaneously made such a big move, and their hearts are definitely not to serve the court.

After reading books for so many years, he has not been able to mix up fame, and Zhu Sanshui has completely despaired of the imperial court. After discovering the "suspicious" political force of the People's Party, Zhu Sanshui's choice was to defect immediately. He first went to the Tianhe base to check on the spot, saw those teams in blue, and also tried to receive meals twice. He was sure that these people were not the same thing as the imperial court at all.

Zhu Sanshui had read the book anyway and knew that it was useless to run away empty-handed. There was still some surplus food at home, so he simply asked to see the leaders of the Tianhe base area. The secretary of the Tianhe base is Qin Wu'an. Qin Wu, who was born in Fudan Public School, is a native of Shaanxi and has a unique personality of Guanzhong people. I was very interested in Zhu Sanshui's "occupation". During the conversation, Zhu Sanshui did not understand the people's revolution mentioned by Qin Wu'an, and Zhu Sanshui only cared about whether the People's Party would rebel. Since the People's Party wanted a "revolution," Zhu Sanshui simply proposed that he could devote all his family assets to organize the people of Longzihu to participate in the "revolution."

If it weren't for the People's Party's decision to attack Fengyang Mansion, Zhu Sanshui's fate would probably be "supervised" and investigated. Now that time is so urgent, Qin Wu'an is also in a hurry, so he simply went to the Longzi Lake area with Zhu Sanshui to conduct field investigations. The result of the investigation was that there was a revolutionary basis on the ground.

At this time, the plan for attacking Fengyang Mansion had been formulated, and the result of the Party Central Committee's study was that Zhu Sanshui's defection to the revolution should be sincere. At this stage, I will agree. But the premise is to send someone to see if Zhu Sanshui can obey the order and disperse the surplus grain at home to organize the local people. The result of the observation was that Zhu Sanshui did obey the order and, under the command of the commissioner, organized a contingent of hungry people.

In the end, Zhu Sanshui was temporarily allowed to join the revolutionary ranks.

Before leaving, Yan Fu said that he was not very relieved about this kind of rash joining of the team, but Zhang Yu was not so worried. The people can't survive, and if the rebellion can survive, the people don't care about attacking the government. According to several contacts, the liaison brought back the news that many local people spontaneously chose to join the fighting. If Zhu Sanshui is just a person who said he defected, then there is still some possibility of a scam, and if the local people choose to join in large numbers, the possibility that they are lackeys of the court is very small.

Seeing Zhu Sanshui coming to greet him, Zhang Yu shouted loudly: "I am the commander of the People's Party. Is this friend Zhu Sanshui? ”

"I am Zhu Sanshui! Thank God, but the king is here. Zhu Sanshui shouted loudly.

After the troops disembarked, according to the prior arrangement, the food sent to these "rebel people" was also transported. There was not much rice and wheat in the base area, and the grain brought in was potatoes. Everyone didn't say anything else, and all the people who volunteered to participate in the battle were divided into twenty pounds of potatoes first.
