Chapter 17: Official Coercion and Civil Rebellion (2)

"Mr. Chen, someone in Jiading County has rebelled? In Jiading County, near us, someone rose up and rebelled! The whole of Jiading County was in chaos, and there were no less than thousands of people who rebelled in various ways. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info they hunted down those Manchu officials, scribes, and some people who caught fast or something. They have now begun to make a mess, and the whole of Jiangsu is shaking. Chen Dingtian said.

"Rebellion? The Manchu Qing Dynasty finally forced people to rebel? Chen Dingtian said with a bit of a complication.

Chen Dingtian also has some understanding of this situation, and Fu Shanxiang often tells him some of the outside situation. Recently, the Manchu Qing Dynasty banned the search of this "Officialdom Appearance", and although there was no copyright protection in this Manchu period, piracy was serious. However, although Chen Dingtian had no income due to serious piracy, it was very difficult for the Manchus to arrest him. These Manchu officials had no way of counting how many copies of this pirated version of the "Appearance of Officialdom" there were, and there were countless editions in various printing houses. All kinds of large-format books, small-format books, pocket books, are simply varied. There are even many other titles printed on the outside, but the inside is recorded by officialdom.

The difficulty of such various searches is simply too great, and even the degree of spread is simply impossible to estimate. The Manchu Qing Dynasty ordered a strict investigation, so it was inevitable that those people would be arrested on a large scale. Emperor Xianfeng patted his head and issued the order of this literary prison, he didn't know that this kind of novel was different from poetry, different from other noble arts. Novels are such things as elegant and vulgar sharing, and if such an order continues, almost the whole of Jiangsu is in a panic.

It is not only the noble scholar class that is being attacked, but even many ordinary people are also targeted. In addition, this Xianfeng patted his head and did this kind of stupid thing, and ordered a large-scale practice. Originally, there were enough people involved in the case, and if you were like this, wouldn't it be even more terrifying?

This is not the most terrifying, the most terrifying thing is that those grassroots officials have obtained the "Shang Fang Sword" that has been wantonly involved, and they have begun to arrest them casually one by one, and one can implicate ten. Even if this is not satisfied, it is still deliberately framed. For example, some illiterate butchers also use this excuse, although this is very bad, but with the assurance of the superiors, those officials are extremely headmastery, and they are naturally not afraid of anything.

They went on a rampage, and finally after the bone sucking was completed, they were left to fend for themselves. In this way, too many people have clearly recognized the true face of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and even more so, the corrupt government of the Manchu Qing Dynasty. So it's not surprising to rise up and resist. Because in fact, many ancient rebels were oppressed by the government and couldn't survive, and finally had to rebel.

"However, this is fine, although I cannot personally rebel, but I also use my articles to incite the people against the Manchus. This time, the Manchus themselves died, and they really forced the rebellion. I think there will definitely be more and more rebellions in the future, even more and more frequent. At that time, people from all walks of life in China would have become disillusioned with the Manchus. When the time comes, not only those poor people, but even those intellectuals will despair of the Manchus, which is really good. Chen Dingtian thought.

Chen Dingtian knew that if this intellectual was not made desperate for the Manchus, it would be difficult for the rebellion to work. The rebellion of intellectuals alone would certainly not have succeeded. But if there are no intellectuals who rebel, it will never succeed. At this stage, even later during the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, a large number of intellectuals were still loyal to the Manchus and believed that the Manchus were orthodox.

But here in the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, not only did it completely offend the landlord class through the so-called **** field system, but also those intellectuals thought that the Manchu Qing Dynasty was orthodox, which made it difficult for the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom to absorb enough intellectuals as the backbone class. An army without knowledge is an army of stupidity. A stupid army cannot be victorious. For the words of the founding ancestor of New China, Chen Dingtian recognized it very much.

Because since ancient times, all those who have achieved great things, his subordinates are definitely not those reckless men who have no knowledge, which emperor who has achieved great things, is the most important core figure around him, often not those who lack culture, but those who have culture and knowledge. Even if they are not high-ranking officials, they are intellectuals.

Therefore, without an organization of knowledge, without a political group of cultural knowledge, it will not live long. Chen Dingtian agrees with this very much, so although there are many reasons for the failure of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, his lack of succession is a very important reason. The reason for the lack of succession of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom is nothing more than that no one really knows how to govern the locality, and there are not too many people with enough culture to help them handle government affairs and deal with various cultural affairs, and it will not last long by relying on the army alone.

Just like when Fu Shanxiang was able to become a female prime minister, in addition to Fu Shanxiang's real talent, the serious lack of intellectuals in the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom must be a very important factor. If you can use a man, you generally won't let a woman be an official. However, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom actually let a woman be an official, and even left a lot of names in the history of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, which is enough to show that the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom is really unavailable.

The lack of support from intellectuals caused the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom to consume those troops, once the offensive slowed down and entered the stage of stalemate, it would inevitably be very unfavorable. The longer the time drags on, the more unfavorable it will be for the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, which lacks intellectuals and has no successor. For the Manchus, they had a large number of talents, not only military generals, but also literati, and various intellectuals behind them, so that they could of course fight stronger and stronger. Although it may have been miserable by the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom at first, it became more and more powerful later.

"Hehe, it's really too time for the Manchus to die. At this time, they struck the bones, and a large number of low-level squires and landlords and scholars changed from the propertied class to the proletariat. But their knowledge is not easily forgotten. These guys have turned the intellectuals into the proletariat, so don't they let them rebel with all kinds of peasants? Although they had lost their wealth, their knowledge was not gone, so that they could help the rebels. It's too time to die, and at this time, the effect is magnified countless times. At that time, the rebel armies from all walks of life rose up and met these intellectuals, it was really King Wen who got Ziya, and Liu Bei who got Kongming. Those rough rebels have the help of these educated, knowledgeable and insightful scholars, so this is really one plus one is greater than two! Chen Dingtian thought with a wicked smile in his heart.

Chen Dingtian really didn't expect that he would have such a powerful day. With just one book of his own, one book made the Manchu world chaotic. Even if Chen Dingtian was a translator back then, it didn't make a sensation in the world with a single book, and the whole world was turned upside down.

Back then, with the book he wrote, the horse sect leader turned the world upside down, and the whole world was surging, this horse sect leader really came to this world in vain. Sect Master Ma may not have killed anyone in his life, but there are definitely not a few people who have died because of him. As a literati, Chinese literati from ancient times to the present have a dream to write an article by themselves, which will cause a sensation in the world, and even change the general trend of the world, so that the whole world will be shaken by their own articles. Even the whole world is happy because of his article, or it has become earth-shaking and sensational because of his article.

It's a pity that this kind of person Chen Dingtian only knows that Sect Master Ma has done it, and no one else has been able to do it. Sect Master Ma's book has really brought a series of effects, and the chaos in the world cannot be described. Because the book of the master of the horse sect has changed the fate of many countries and nations and affected the general trend of the world, this is the highest level of literati! Those who make money by writing books, and who make more money by writing books, but compared to Sect Master Ma, they are not writing books at all! Even if some people may write novels to make money, even if they become the richest man in the world, I am afraid that in the historical position, they will never be as good as the horse sect leader who has worked hard and been poor for half his life!

"Hey, I'm still far from the horse sect master!" Chen Dingtian said.

However, Chen Dingtian didn't know that in the future, the Ma Sect Leader might instead regard him as an idol.

"Who is the Horse Sect Master?" Fu Shanxiang asked.

Chen Dingtian immediately said casually: "I'll say it casually!" ”

"Bang!"

Suddenly, there was a sound of something falling to the ground, and Chen Dingtian was suddenly attracted.

"Miss Zhou, why are you? If you don't go through the door, how can you go through the window? Chen Dingtian asked.

Chen Dingtian actually found that a Lori jumped in his house, and this Lori was actually Zhou Xiuying. This Lori Zhou Xiuying actually didn't go through the door, and went straight through the window of her small villa, which made Chen Dingtian strange.

It's just that Lori Zhou Xiuying, who is about fifteen or sixteen years old, is holding a big knife more than one person high, which makes Chen Dingtian, a literati, feel a chill down his spine. Obviously, that sound just now was the sound of the knife falling to the ground. Such a small Lori, with so much strength, threw it in with this big knife, and then followed in again.

"Mr. Chen, I am here to thank you on the orders of my father Zhou Lichun. However, there are a lot of people from the imperial court watching outside, so it is inconvenient for me to go through the main gate. Zhou Xiuying said.

Chen Dingtian knew that there must be a lot of people from the Manchu court outside his home who were watching, although those Manchu courts could not "enforce the law across the border" in the concession, but Chen Dingtian himself had already registered with the Manchu court. It would be strange if Chen Dingtian was not monitored by those mysterious people of the Manchu Qing Dynasty.

So Chen Dingtian wouldn't be surprised when he heard this Lori Zhou Xiuying tell him that he was being watched.

"I'm afraid that the people of our Heaven and Earth Society have come in here and caused a misunderstanding among the Manchu Tartars, which may increase the Tartars' suspicion of you. So I walked next to the window. Also, my father is ready, and we have begun to dig a tunnel, ready to connect the passage into your back garden, so that when we meet in the future, we can pass through the tunnel to avoid those Manchu Tartar doglegs from finding out. Zhou Xiuying said.

Chen Dingtian complained in his heart: "Hey, hey, dig a tunnel towards my house, have you gotten my consent?" What's more, if you are so entangled with me, then I and your gang of heaven and earth will really not be able to figure it out. Hey, I'm really afraid of something, I'm trying to avoid you guys, you're sticking to me? ”

"Miss Xiuying, what are you looking for me?" Chen Dingtian asked.

"Mr. Chen, have you heard that Jiading is messing around now?" Zhou Xiuying asked.

Chen Dingtian said with certainty: "Jiading is so close to us here in Shanghai, how can we not know." ”

You must know that in later generations, Jiading County was also one of the municipal districts of Shanghai, just near Shanghai County. The current Shanghai County is not the same thing as the Shanghai City of later generations, and the territory of Shanghai County in this era is only a very small part of the Shanghai of later generations, and the Shanghai of later generations includes several surrounding counties now. However, this is enough to show that Jiading County and Shanghai are very close, and they will know what is going on.

"Actually, the turmoil in Jiading County this time is also fueled by our Heaven and Earth Association! We secretly helped to fuel the fire, and that's why the situation eroded so quickly. Otherwise, do you think that just relying on those poor talents can be so powerful? Without the help of our Heaven and Earth Society, they would not have been able to expand so quickly, let alone recruit people quickly. In fact, as long as we give an order, those people under the poor Xiucai will scatter in a hurry, and we have mastered the vast majority of the troops under those poor Xiucai. All those who are the backbone of the army are related to our Heaven and Earth Society. Therefore, in fact, the turmoil in Jiading this time has a deep relationship with our Heaven and Earth Society, but ordinary people don't know much about the army. Zhou Xiuying took the initiative to say.

"What? I'll just say, how can a few poor shows be able to set off such a monstrous wave? It turns out that the root is with you! Chen Dingtian complained.

Chen Dingtian was also puzzled, to say that although Chen Dingtian had not personally participated in management, he also knew that managing an organization was not a simple matter. You must know that those poor talents, they may have been talents before, but they had no management experience before that. How is it possible to manage thousands of armed men in such an orderly manner? There hasn't been much turmoil, which is very impressive.

Don't think it's easy to manage thousands of people, in fact, direct management and indirect management are not the same thing at all. Direct management is like a business, managing a business with thousands of people, it is simply a headache for you. If it is indirect management, it is like the government, although it manages every people, but in fact, it is mainly laissez-faire, and it will not really restrain you from doing every act.

So it's inconceivable that a person who doesn't have much management experience can suddenly manage thousands of people without making a mess. It turns out that heaven and earth will make trouble in the back, and secretly accept the command of another organization, and those poor talents are just a target!
