readx;?Mikhail. Bakunin looked solemn, as if the next great upheaval in the capitalist world would be when the international working class would come to power. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info Marx pondered there with his coffee cup in his hand, and seemed to be listening to Bakunin's words.

Bakunin glanced at Marx's face and continued quietly: "Moore, the successful experience of the Polish revolution teaches us the fact that the strength of the proletariat is not determined by their number. Otherwise, the revolution would not have triumphed first in Poland, but in the four countries with the largest proletariat: England, China, France, and Germany. The Polish Revolution taught us that the strength of the proletariat is determined by the elite forces that lead the proletariat. As long as this essence has enough revolutionary determination and ability, it will be victorious!

The victory of the Polish revolution was due to the concentration of the essence of the revolutionary forces of all Europe in Poland, and this was the reason for the victory. China, which has the largest proletariat, even more than Poland by 100 times, lacks such a quintessence and has no signs of revolution at all. It can be seen that the real determining force is not the quantity but the essence. And we should take advantage of the relatively stable period in the future to cultivate such a quintessential power! Because they are the foundation of the world revolution! ”

Listening to what Bakunin said there slowly became agitated, Marx only frowned and did not speak—the biggest difference between the revolutionaries of Western Europe and the Russian revolutionaries is actually the word "essence", and the essence of revolution is actually a kind of elitism. It is not the strength of the broadest masses of the people that is relied upon, but the strength of a small number of elites. in Western Europe. The elite is often the agent of the propertied class, and only a small part is involved in the proletarian struggle. And the struggle of the proletariat does not depend on the clandestine activities of a few elites, but on open mass strikes, marches and even popular uprisings.

Marx also knew that the opposite was true in Russia. Probably because capitalism in Russia was underdeveloped. There was no dictatorship of the bourgeoisie, but a completely Western-style elite education system was established from the time of Peter the Great. Therefore, Russia can produce many talents who are also very outstanding in Western Europe, but these elites of Russian society do not have the same wide range of outlets as Western Europe and China. Therefore, many elites of aristocratic origin were infiltrated into the ranks of the proletarian revolution under the influence of the revolutionary atmosphere in Europe—the Russian revolutionaries in Poland were all children of the aristocracy, and there was no proletariat at all. The elite revolutionaries, on the other hand, invented the concept of "people's essence" to describe themselves, and believed that "people's essence" could fully represent the people......

But Marx had to admit that these Russian elites were really clever in their revolutionary work! Without them, the Polish Revolution would have hardly succeeded, let alone stirred up trouble in Russia. And...... The theories of the elite revolutionaries. There seems to be some truth to that, too. After all, to carry out a revolution in a country where the feudal ruling power is quite strong, it is indeed necessary for Bakunin to understand both theory. A professional revolutionary who can work hard.

Thinking of this, Marx nodded in a deep voice: "Mikhail, do you mean that you want to open a school on Polish soil that specializes in training revolutionary cadres to train revolutionary youth from all over the world. What about making it the quintessence of the revolution? ”

Bakunin nodded his uncultivated head vigorously: "That's it, there is indeed a need for a school to train revolutionaries, that's what I mean!" There are many young people with progressive tendencies in Europe today, who are dissatisfied with the reactionary and conservative situation in their homeland, and who want to find the truth of national salvation in Poland. We should absorb them into the ranks of the revolution, impart to them revolutionary theories and experiences, and train them to become the quintessence of the revolutionary forces of all countries. ”

Bakunin stood up abruptly, waving his arms vigorously, looking very excited. It was as if I had seen thousands of revolutionary elites cultivated by the Polish Revolutionary School rush to the countries of the world to launch one revolution after another. Marx also stood up and patted Bakunin on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "Mikhail, your opinion is very good. Shall we discuss this matter at the next meeting of the Central Committee of the International Workingmen's Association? Before that, I hope you can come up with a specific plan, such as how much money you need, where the school will be located, how many teachers you will need, what kind of students to enroll, and how many years of schooling. What is the curriculum...... Be sure to think it through. In addition, the management of the school needs to be well thought out in advance. After all, this school is training revolutionaries for the whole world, and it is extremely important for the future of our cause, and it must not be treated sloppily. ”

……

At a time when the revolutionary teachers of this world were planning to open a school to train successors to the revolutionary cause. Zhu Guoxiong, the successor of the Ming Emperor's counter-revolutionary cause, had already begun his westward journey with a large diplomatic corps aboard the 6,000-ton (unloaded) Jishi, the largest ironclad ship of the Ming Navy, which had been completed only six months earlier.

The first stop on the journey was the Dominion of Hong Kong Island, ruled by his eldest brother Chu Kwok-kit. Speaking of Zhu Guojie and the Hong Kong Island he ruled, they are very special existences in the Ming Empire. As the eldest son of Emperor Zhu, Zhu Guojie's status is very special. Although according to the provisions of the "Ming Imperial Family Model", the prince who has been a foreign or vassal monarch is not eligible to inherit the throne of the Ming Dynasty. But Zhu Guojie is the eldest son after all! He also married Princess Helena of the British Empire, another great empire in the world. And he did not go to the Kingdom of Hawaii, but stayed in the Dominion of Hong Kong, and his king was also purely nominal.

So in the eyes of some people, the eldest son of the emperor should be ranked after Zhu Guojie and become the second heir...... And the 20-year-old Duke of Hong Kong Island has shown a certain political skill in the process of managing Hong Kong for more than 2 years, which has made some people firm in their opinion - His Royal Highness the Grand Prince will be a wise monarch!

Speaking of Zhu Guojie's political talents, of course, we cannot fail to mention Hong Kong. The scope of the present Hong Kong Autonomous Territory is different from that of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region in later generations. It includes Hong Kong Island, Kowloon Peninsula, Lamma Island, Lantau Island and other small islands attached to these areas, as well as the Macau Peninsula, Taipa Island and Coloane Island, which are across the sea from Hong Kong Island.

Incidentally, Macau's status as a "Portuguese colony" was never recognized by the Ming court, and the Portuguese could not come up with any treaties to prove their power over Macau. Therefore, in 1850, after the Ming Dynasty returned to Nanjing, the Guangzhou government sent people to drive away the so-called Portuguese governor in Macao. And the Portuguese side can only protest against Daming's behavior...... The world empire of their Portuguese has long since disappeared, and Emperor Zhu does not have the existence of these Portuguese in his eyes at all.

In the agreement between the Ming and the British to recover the sovereignty of Hong Kong Island, Hong Kong and Kowloon were incorporated into Hong Kong and became part of the Free City of Hong Kong, which later became Zhu Guojie's territory in exchange for his inheritance of the Grand Duchy of Lan Fong. may have considered that his eldest son was too disadvantaged, so Zhu Jishi included Macao in the Duke's Dominion of Hong Kong and became the fief of Zhu Guojie and Helena. This ducal dominion was previously administered by the Canton government, and when Chu and Helena arrived in Hong Kong in 1861, it was personally administered by His Royal Highness Chu Guojie. Although the eldest son of Emperor Zhu is not very old, he is a young man with ideas, but he is not a progressive youth, but an open-minded and reactionary youth. This thinking is also related to his many years of experience in England and France.

He was quite disgusted by the huge gap between the rich and the poor caused by the dictatorship of the bourgeoisie in England at this time, where a few elites were sitting on huge wealth and the vast majority of the poor had nothing - in fact, 90% of the students at Eton College thought that this system was wrong, but it is not known whether they would have such ideas when they succeeded their parents as aristocrats and bourgeoisie. However, our great prince Zhu was determined to implement a system on his Hong Kong Island, which was different from the British bourgeois dictatorship, so he set up a * rule in Hong Kong......
