416 Red Book

For Tupac? As far as Amaru II was concerned, the last thing he wanted was for the Indian rebels to drive out the Spanish colonists and usher in the Tang colonists. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 Although Amaru II did not know much about the Tang Republic, he also knew that through the North American War of Independence, the Tang Dynasty seized Florida and other regions from the British, and the Americans recognized these occupations in order to get the support of the Tang people. Like Spain, Datang is also a colonial country, and although the reputation of Datang seems to be better, it is still enough to make Amaru II hesitate.

If it is said that the Tang Dynasty came to help the Indian revolution in Peru, Amaru II will naturally think that the Tang people have a plan, and they will not do things without profit. In fact, in my heart, Amaru II, like the Americans before him, would have been lucky if he could give up some land or other interests to seek national independence.

Guo Xin in front of him was full of confidence, and he said to Amaru II: "This time, we did not bring muskets and cannons to our Peruvian friends, nor did we bring silver dollars and food, but we brought your most useful weapon - thoughts!" ”

Amaru II was very disappointed when he heard Guo Xin say that the Tang people had no money or guns for them, but he was full of curiosity about the red book in Guo Xin's hand. The Red Book, whose full name is "On Internationalism", seems to have such an amazing magic that Amaru II could not resist the temptation to open it.

On the title page, there is a clear line in large letters, which reads: "All men are created equal, born with the right to choose their own way of life and pursue happiness!" ”

Just this simple sentence is like a thunderclap. Roared in Amaru's mind.

this era. Although the Enlightenment has already been carried out. Logic and reason have gradually taken shape in Europe. However, conservative Spaniards were still relatively repulsive to these ideas, and in colonial schools, what was taught was more mixed with theology and metaphysics, which was specious and more rigid for the convenience of colonial rule.

Just as the Spaniards would never admit that the Indians of South America were equal to the Spaniards of Europe in personality and status, the saying that all men are created equal was almost rotten in later generations and was almost not mentioned. In fact, it was only after the French Revolution that such ideas swept the world with the Napoleonic Wars. Until the beginning of the twentieth century, the colonized colonizers could not expect so-called rights and equality.

And this seemingly inconspicuous red book, which begins with such a sentence, affirms such a concept, and gives Amaru II in the struggle against colonial rule and oppression, and delivers spiritual ammunition.

Almost that was the same sentence, Amaru II was willing to continue reading, in his thirty-nine years of life. He never imagined that a piece of text could be so unpretentious. Lacking in rhetoric, plain and straightforward, it was such a wonderful feeling that almost every page of the book was turned, Amaru II could feel a surging heat churning in his chest. Many things that he didn't understand and felt before seem to be clear in this book. And those things that he never imagined, such as why colonizers were colonizing, such as how to build a civilized society, in this book, he can find the answer.

Then, Guo Xin had to interrupt his reading, because he had been holding the book for a long time. Guo Xin said: "This book is only a general outline of internationalist thought, and many of the contents are discussed in more detail. ”

Amaru II exclaimed: "Is that so? So where are these books, and are they also translated into Spanish? Ah, I wish I knew Tang Chinese. ”

For many foreigners, they are not clear about the relationship between the Tang Dynasty and China, so many people refer to the language of the Tang people as Tang Chinese.

Guo Xin said: "We have brought these books here, there are Spanish translations, if you want to learn our language, we are also welcome and will guide you." But now, as far as I can see, your rebel army is in a bad situation, having suffered several defeats, has been betrayed by traitors, and has been pursued by the Spanish colonial army, and if you continue this tactic of struggle, I am afraid that this revolution will be over. ”

Amaru II was shocked: "This is absolutely not possible, I can give my life, even if I am shot to death by the Spaniards or even dismembered by the corpse, I will never regret it, but this revolution must not fail, we Incas have already suffered too much, even if they work hard for one more day, it will make my heart feel as if it was being put into a furnace to be roasted." Mr. Guo, you are an officer from Datang, you must be very capable, I hope you can guide us to victory. ”

A Mexican-born Tang mercenary beside him smiled: "You really have found the right person, our Colonel Guo was the commander who helped the Americans defeat the British back then, and his military genius is not something that those idiot Europeans can imagine." Even if you don't have any weapons and you lose the battle, we Colonel Guo can still help you win. ”

Guo Xin said again: "Alves, don't speak too slowly, but I am still full of confidence in this revolution, because we are the side of justice after all, and justice will win!" ”

Amaru II raised his arms and shouted: "Yes, justice will prevail." ”

Guo Xindao: "We have the support of thousands of suffering Inca brothers and sisters who are in dire need of liberation, and Peru is your homeland and not the home of the Spaniards. As you can see, although you have gathered an army of 100,000 men in a short period of time, they have little combat power, most of them are not even armed, and the Spaniards have a lot of strength, but they also have their weaknesses. We have an ancient saying in Datang, which is called knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent to win a hundred battles, and only after analyzing the advantages and weaknesses of the enemy and the enemy can we win. We must see that although the colonial power of the Spaniards in Peru is strong, as long as we continue to consume them and persevere, not only can we not make profits in Peru, but even Spain, which is constantly losing blood, will never be able to hold on, and at that time, it is the time when they have to give up Peru, and it is also the moment when we win!
