Zhou Xiuying left Jiading County from the mouth of the Yangtze River in the north of Jiading County, because their Tiandihui rebel army had already begun to revolt, so the road to Shanghai in the south had been closed by the Manchu army, and Zhou Xiuying certainly could not take the initiative to send him to death. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 infoBut after all, this Jiading County is an urban area in Shanghai in the future, and Chen Dingtian in Shanghai has been here many times, so he will naturally not be a stranger. So he was soon able to find a route, Chen Dingtian told Zhou Xiuying in advance that he could leave by boat at the mouth of the Yangtze River in the north of Jiading County, and then he could see the Huangpu River on Chongming Island, and enter Puxi from within the Huangpu River, and he could directly reach the concession area. In this era, Shanghai is actually just Puxi, and the famous Pudong New Area has not yet been developed, and it is still desolate.

Zhou Xiuying returned to Chen Dingtian and directly began to complain about her father and those uncles, they all seemed to have deteriorated one by one.

"Husband, those old brothers of the Heaven and Earth Society have actually changed, they have actually changed, they said well before, the uprising is to oppose the rule of the Manchu Tartars and restore the mountains and rivers of the Han family. They said before that even in the face of wealth, they should never have any more points, and even if possible, they are willing to return to the field immediately after recovering the mountains and rivers of the Han family, and they will never be greedy for comfort. However, they have changed, they have changed, and they have only now opened a Jiading County, and they have wantonly carved up the land, wanting to pocket all the land. At the beginning, each of them asked for 10,000 acres! Later, under my opposition, it was finally reduced to 3,000 acres, but such 3,000 acres of land, this is too ......" Zhou Xiuying was obviously very depressed.

Chen Dingtian finally smiled bitterly and said: "It seems that I overestimated them, I thought that they would be able to deteriorate when they were divided into one side, but I didn't expect them to deteriorate so quickly, I really have nothing to say." ”

Chen Dingtian knows that this is difficult, why is the peasant uprising in China for so many years actually just a Zhu Yuanzhang? The emperor who was really born at the bottom of the society is actually Zhu Yuanzhang. As for Liu Bang, he is not the absolute bottom, but has a certain economic strength, and can even be said to be a local hero, not the absolute bottom.

As for Chen Sheng, Wu Guang, and many more people who revolted in the peasants, they would actually have a lot of weaknesses in their character. Many low-level people are not well-informed, and after they rebel, they may have the idea of being rich and peaceful. They thought they had a certain amount of performance, and then they stabilized like that, as if they could enjoy it safely. Even those peasants who came from the bottom of the society do not have enough experience, and it is difficult for them to resist the temptations that come from all kinds of rushing through their lack of experience. Once a poor person suddenly takes power, he is likely to become unscrupulous. Even all kinds of money, treasures, and land are at his disposal, and even all kinds of beauties can be chosen by him, which is a very irresistible temptation for a low-level peasant.

On the contrary, those who came from the top not only started from a much higher starting point than those from the bottom peasants, but even had a much higher ability to resist temptation in terms of personal qualities, especially in terms of resistance to temptation. It's not that Chen Dingtian looks down on the bottom peasants, but a person's growth environment and economic conditions when he was a child largely determine the process of a person's growth, and the process of growth also determines his future morality and various psychological qualities. Therefore, the leaders of the peasant rebels often end up degenerating, because they simply do not have the ability to control such a large force and resist many temptations.

"Xiuying, did your father start to divide the land on a large scale?" Chen Dingtian asked.

Zhou Xiuying nodded and said, "Yes, they began to divide the land on a large scale, and even began to discuss the division of land by seniority. They divided half of it at once, so they had long forgotten what they had said. They said at the beginning that they were not for power, not for wealth, and were even willing to disarm and return to the land immediately after pacifying the world, but now they are doing this, which is too sad. ”

Chen Dingtian breathed a breath of turbidity, there are too few so-called people who do not rebel for wealth and power. Chen Dingtian knew that maybe when he had nothing, he could easily say this kind of thing, saying something that was not for power or wealth, but just for ideals. But when you have it, you really have these things, it's too hard to give it up. Not to mention these gangsters, even if they are the revolutionaries of later generations, even if they are the founding fathers of New China, many of them have expressed their hope that after the success of the revolution, they can be disarmed and return to the fields and cultivate well. However, after the success of the revolution, there are almost zero people who can really put down their power and positions to return to the fields and farm with peace of mind! Although there is a little, it is almost zero compared to such a large group of revolutionaries.

The deterioration of these people was actually not what Chen Dingtian expected, but Chen Dingtian just didn't expect these guys to deteriorate so quickly. deteriorated so quickly, so Chen Dingtian felt that these guys couldn't become the climate. Those peasant rebels often died not at the hands of foreign enemies, but on their own degeneration. This is also the case in the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, where various high-level generals of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom wantonly collect the wealth of beautiful women, wantonly consume the public funds in those "holy treasury", and even borrow the system of separate camps for men and women to choose and divide the beauties for their own convenience. In the later period of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, it was actually seriously deteriorated, which also laid the foundation for the later collapse of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.

Guan Qin next to him finally couldn't help but say: "These guys, it's really unreliable!" ”

"What do you say, you Tartar?" Zhou Xiuying was immediately dissatisfied.

Guan Qin obviously doesn't have the same knowledge as Zhou Xiuying, but Chen Dingtian is also thinking about the future path.

"Xiuying, I'll go to Jiading with you once!" Chen Dingtian said.

Chen Dingtian went north along the Huangpu River, and then came to this Jiading County. Relying on Zhou Xiuying's relationship, Chen Dingtian came to the so-called Great Tomorrow Land to beg for the Generalissimo's Mansion and met this Zhou Lichun.

"Father-in-law, I heard that you old brothers have gobbled up land this time, is there such a thing?" Chen Dingtian asked.

Zhou Lichun admitted it very directly, saying: "Yes, this is requested by the brothers, and the brothers have come and gone in the wind and rain, and I have not been able to give them anything at all over the years." Of course I'll have to make up for it! ”

"Father-in-law, are you so generous to others? These lands belong to the people, all the people, how can you swallow them directly? Chen Dingtian asked.

Zhou Lichun shook his head and said: "We have all fought down these lands, of course they are ours, so why can't we divide them?" ”

Chen Dingtian was very anxious, these guys are so incompetent, or that kind of style of mixing rivers and lakes, how is this feasible? Such a style of mixing rivers and lakes is definitely not the material for fighting the country, so Chen Dingtian hurriedly dissuaded it.

"Father-in-law, if you do this, do the people have no opinion?" Chen Dingtian asked.

Of course, Zhou Lichun said: "How can there be an opinion, they originally had no land, I gave them some land, are you still not satisfied?" In fact, if it weren't for us, they wouldn't have it at all, so I gave them our grace, and what could they say? ”

"Oh! Oh, my God! Chen Dingtian covered his face, this is simply too pit.

My father-in-law actually has this kind of thought, and I really have to accept it. According to Zhou Lichun, this land is the wealth of their Heaven and Earth Society, and they give ordinary people a kind of "gift", so the amount of gift depends entirely on the Heaven and Earth Society, not on the needs of those ordinary people. In fact, these Tiandi will still have the kind of thinking of robbing the rich and helping the poor in the past, they still think that if they grab their hands in this way, they will be their own, so why should they distribute them to the people for no reason, such a bandit mentality is so taken for granted. If this is the case, even if these bandits overthrow the Manchu Qing Dynasty, it is actually impossible to have any good results in the end, and they will inevitably face a defeat in the end, which is not much better than the Manchu Qing Dynasty.

"Father-in-law, how are you doing after these lands are divided?" Chen Dingtian asked.

Zhou Lichun said with a smile: "Sure enough, it has an effect, we announced that we went out to recruit troops, and there were no less than tens of thousands of people to join!" Many of them even came from other counties, not only local people. However, the locals of Jiading joined the most, no more than fifteen thousand, it seems that the Manchu Qing Tartars killed this Jiading people fiercely, and they actually had such a deep hatred! ”

The people of Jiading will definitely not become if they join enthusiastically, but Chen Dingtian is a little more afraid, that is, will they be able to manage the world?

"Father-in-law, can you manage this?" Chen Dingtian asked.

"If you can't manage it, just disperse the brothers to various halls!" Zhou Lichun replied.

"I'll go, and you don't think about whether your officers are up to the job? None of you have experienced a real military education, can you? Chen Dingtian asked.

Zhou Lichun replied: "Then how to manage it on weekdays, we will also manage it now, there is no problem!" ”

Chen Dingtian really almost wanted to faint, such a situation is simply too pitiful, and there is no good result at all with such a result. If such a situation can still be brought to a good end, according to Chen Dingtian, he really screwed his head off as a night pot. However, there is no way for Chen Dingtian to reverse this situation, there are too many "congenital deficiencies" in this heaven and earth society, and it is not something that can be clearly explained in one or two sentences. Too many things in the Heaven and Earth Society have congenital deficiencies, how many of them can succeed in an organization born out of gangs in the rivers and lakes? If such gangs do revolt, it is often difficult to succeed in the end.

"Next, I also plan to expand the army by 200,000, so that we can strive to go north as soon as possible and sweep the world!" Zhou Lichun said.

Chen Dingtian hurriedly said: "Father-in-law, have you forgotten, didn't those foreigner instructors say it?" There are not many soldiers, you should train well, train the officers well, so that you can seize the world. Otherwise, it is just a rabble, and it is impossible to defeat the enemy. “

"It doesn't matter, if you train slowly, how many years will you have to wait? Why don't I just bulldoze him with numbers, and I will defeat them with ten times the army when the time comes. Zhou Lichun said.

Chen Dingtian hurriedly persuaded again: "Father-in-law, your thoughts are very hasty and ignorant!" If you are so anxious, the more troublesome you will be, and you will be in trouble. ”

Once a lot of people do something, they want to succeed quickly. In this way, Zhou Lichun is also like this, he hopes to seize the world, but now he is doing it so quickly. And once it started, it even completely forgot Chen Dingtian's suggestion at that time, and didn't care about the reality at all, and directly wanted to expand the army.

"I don't believe it, an army ten times more than them can't defeat him!" Zhou Lichun said.

"Hey, all my previous efforts have been in vain?" Chen Dingtian scolded.

Chen Dingtian was so angry that he couldn't speak, this Zhou Lichun really took his previous education as a deaf ear. Chen Dingtian had said a lot about the fact that there were not many soldiers in the past, but this Zhou Lichun was only three minutes hot, and he really forgot about it immediately.

"Hey, is that how much human habitual thinking is? I've said a lot about the military, but I've forgotten about my father-in-law, and I'm not taking it to heart at all. This is really troublesome, although he knows this truth, but he may still have that kind of thinking in his bones, so I said it in vain. Chen Dingtian smiled bitterly.

Chen Dingtian knew that no matter how much he persuaded this Zhou Lichun, it would be useless, and it would be difficult for such a person to bear the important responsibility of overthrowing the Manchu Qing Dynasty and even establishing a more advanced society. Even he may not even be able to overthrow the Manchu Dynasty, so Chen Dingtian began to be pessimistic about this Zhou Lichun's rebellion. Especially since there are more problems in this way, so it is naturally difficult for him to clean up. Just like a country that has accumulated a lot of resources and cannot return, the best way is not to patch things up, but to tear them down and rebuild, which is the real good way.

From Li Hongzhang's experience, there is no future in becoming a pastemaker, and it is better to be a demolition worker than a pastemaker, and then rebuild a building again. It's best to rebuild, and leaving too many old things behind is a lot of trouble.

"Father-in-law, the infantry regiment that follows the training methods of Westerners shouldn't have been disbanded so quickly, right?" Chen Dingtian asked. (To be continued.) )
