Chapter 70: On Xiucai's Rebellion (II)
Many people in the ancients used "Xiucai rebelled for three years" as a statement of contempt for the so-called scholars, but Chen Ding's naïve feeling was very speechless. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info This shows that the rebellion is a rebellion, but in fact, the most needed rebellion is not the army, but the culture. An army without culture is a stupid army, and a stupid army cannot defeat the enemy. If you want to talk about the typical rebellion of Xiucai, the most famous is actually the revolution in the late Qing Dynasty, whether it was the revolution that overthrew the Qing government in the late Qing Dynasty, or the revolution in China later, which time was not the so-called Xiucai as the main force of the scholars? In fact, the main revolutionaries who overthrew the Qing government, which one was not highly educated, and which one was not a young talent. However, they stubbornly leveraged the general trend of the world with a very small number of people, and exchanged their sacrifices for the fall of the Manchu Dynasty. Of course, there may be Yuan Shikai's credit, but without the sacrifice of these talents, Yuan Shikai still doesn't know how many years he will continue to fish!
As for the later revolutions, which one is not led by Xiucai, even if the later founding great, isn't it also a high school degree? There are a lot of other people who go to study abroad, and most of these are "show talents"! Even when they were fighting, they did not forget to cultivate culture, cultivate culture and learn all kinds of things for soldiers, so can it be said that Xiucai rebelled for three years?
"The so-called Xiucai rebellion has not been successful for three years, this is just nonsense! Which successful rebellion have you ever seen, and it became in three years? Chen Dingtian asked.
Mo Qing was speechless, because it seems that every rebellion, every regime from the beginning of the army to the unification and establishment of the country, it is not just three years!
"Xiucai rebelled for three years, so what about three years later? Will it work out in three years? Not to mention them, I really haven't found a single rebel who succeeded in three years! So this is just nonsense, so if you want to succeed in rebellion, you must show talent. If there are not enough talents, there are not enough talents in the base areas to develop production. If there is no one to develop production, there will inevitably be more troubles, so that the army on the front line will have one less fight, and even one less grain will be eaten by one, and one tael of silver will be missing, and it will not be replenished at all. When the time comes, there will be no money, so they can only plunder, but once they rob, the people will also oppose them. Those talents will not continue to join them, I think we are just talking nonsense. A real rebellion cannot be achieved without showmanship. ”
"To rebel, we must first have a base area, and only with a base area can we have stable economic support. With economic support and all kinds of population support, we will be able to have a steady stream of troops, food, grass, salaries, and ordnance, so that we can have a foundation for future wars. Why are some people defeated and defeated, but they just can't be defeated? But some people are completely defeated in one fight and can't turn over? This difference is also the base area, Liu Bang was defeated several times back then, but he still rose several times. That is actually because he has Guanzhong as a base and has the support of the old Qin people, so he is invincible in the end. On the contrary, Xiang Yu chose to slaughter the old Qin people in Guanzhong, and his rebellion was just to take revenge and vent his anger. In this way, he vented his anger, but in the end, the old Qin people, who had experienced many years of war and fought the world with the Qin Dynasty, were all powerful warriors in their bones. Xiang Yu brutally killed the Qin army and surrendered his troops, but he formed a blood feud and completely forced the old Qin people to Liu Bang's side. Therefore, the old Qin people in Guanzhong became Liu Bang's hardcore descendants, and finally helped Liu Bang destroy Xiang Yu. In fact, it is not so much that Liu Bang destroyed the Great Qin, but that the Great Han is some kind of continuation of the Great Qin, because they were all established with the help of the old Qin people. ”
From this point of view, it is the difference between the two sides in governing the country. The reason why Liu Bang was able to win the hearts of the old Qin people was actually because Xiao He and Zhang Liang suggested that Liu Bang should make three chapters of the law and treat people with leniency, so that he could win the hearts of the old Qin people. On the contrary, Xiang Yu, a martial artist, has always been to avenge his family and vent his anger, and after he entered Guanzhong, he immediately began to kill, so that he completely lost the hearts of the old Qin people and planted the seeds for his future destruction. ”
But there are not enough people around Xiang Yu to introduce him, there are not enough people to help him govern the country, Xiang Yu will just fight and destroy. So Xiang Yu may be able to win all the time, but if he fails once, he will be a complete failure, and as a result, he has to kill himself. On the contrary, Liu Bang failed repeatedly, and in the end, didn't he get up again and again? Why is this, in fact, the two sides have different means of governing the country, one will produce and win people's hearts, the other is just destruction, will not build anything, and will only bring bloody killings, so everyone will naturally support Liu Bang. The world says that Xiang Yu is a hero, I think he is a bear, he brought all the killing and blood, and did not bring any happiness to the people, what did the people support him for? ”
Some people may sympathize with Xiang Yu, but Chen Dingtian will definitely not sympathize, looking at the he did, killing hundreds of thousands of surrendered soldiers, this is simply cold-blooded. In fact, there is no need to find a reason for him, even if there are many reasons, maybe because of lack of food. But you'd rather let them disband themselves and fend for themselves, at least don't kill them yourself. At least some of them can survive if they fend for themselves, but it would be too cold-blooded to kill them, and hundreds of thousands of lives would die from Xiang Yu's personal hatred. Xiang Yu is anti-Qin in order to avenge his family, his purpose is not right, and failure is inevitable. Sympathizing with Xiang Yu is just sympathizing with him, but the bad things he did are not worthy of sympathy.
"Xiang Yu's failure was inevitable, because he was not able to succeed in his transformation. He failed to transform from a general to a ruler who ruled the world, and he still used the army to govern the people, which must have failed. And Liu Bang succeeded, successfully transforming from a military group to a regime that governs the world, which is the means by which he can succeed. It is not so easy to change from a military bloc to a political power, and it must rely on the literati, without whom it is impossible to complete the process. For example, the Manchus, they succeeded, and the Manchus successfully transformed from a bandit group to a regime, which was the reason why they were able to finally enter the Central Plains. ”
"Too many people have failed at this step, and the vast majority of rebels have also failed at this step from a military bloc to a political power, so in the end they have failed."
Mo Qing heard Chen Dingtian say this, and immediately said: "Dragon slaying science, this is really dragon slaying science!" Where did Mr. Chen learn this kind of dragon slaying technique? ”
"Dragon slayer? Well, what do you mean about the knowledge of revolutionary rebellion! I learned from books. Chen Dingtian said.
Chen Dingtian thought about it for a while, and then he realized that dragon slaying actually refers to those revolutionary rebellions.
"No way, how could such a thing be written in a book?" Mo Qing asked.
"It seems really impossible!" Chen Dingtian muttered.
Chen Dingtian really didn't know what excuse to make, because the ancient emperors rebelled, in fact, which one would talk about those processes specifically. You must know the history of the rebellion propagated in ancient times, which is nothing more than how wise the emperor was, how martial he was, and how blessed he was from heaven. These are all bragging, hoping to make the people think that the emperor has a mandate of heaven, so that the people are obeying this so-called mandate of heaven, so that the people can be obedient to the people one by one. As for the means of rebellion, the process of rebellion is completely carried out with the Spring and Autumn brushwork, and I will not say anything at all.
In fact, many dynasties rebelled in ancient times, and they would never tell the specific process of their rebellion, and they would not take the initiative to introduce the process of rebellion and the experience of various rebellions. Most of the things they introduced were destined for heaven, as if the so-called emperors were like this, and the various lessons and lessons in them were never written into the history books, and they all fooled people. And this kind of dragon slaying science, there was no place to learn it in ancient times, because those emperors were also afraid that others would follow the same example and rebel, isn't it tragic? Therefore, this kind of process is rarely written in detail, and only after the revolution will they write down the lessons and lessons of their own revolutionary process, so that many people can also know the specific process of the revolution. There are successes, failures, and even internal contradictions are written.
And the revolutionary was not a tall and righteous person, but also because of his shortcomings and his own position and interests. Of course, although those revolutionary histories also say that their success is inevitable, they absolutely do not say that this "inevitability" is the cause of the Mandate of Heaven, but that it is the cause of the people, caused by various factors, not the so-called superstitious Mandate of Heaven. Even all kinds of means to win the hearts and minds of the people have been written into the history books, which can be imagined how generous it is. It can be said that Chen Dingtian has read so many various history books and novels, but in fact, he really understands rebellion, and is willing to openly write all kinds of lessons and lessons in the process of rebellion into history books, and tell the whole people that he is actually a revolutionary in later generations. Which of the other dynasties did not hide these things, blowing nonsense, as if the emperor naturally had a mandate of heaven, and never mentioned the specific rebellion process and various means.
This kind of dragon slaying technique, in ancient times, no one would teach it at all, and whoever dared to teach it would be killed. Chen Dingtian said that it was not suitable to read it in the book, especially since no one had read it in ancient times.
"Well, this is something I summarized from various historical classics, some lessons I have learned, I'll write about it another day!" Chen Dingtian said.
Anyway, this kind of discussion about the factors of success or failure of the ancient peasant uprising was found in almost every school that studied history in later generations, and there were many papers on the Internet. This kind of history paper is simply not too much, just get a random one.
"This Chen Dingtian, really know this kind of dragon slaying technique?" Mo Qing exclaimed in her heart.
Doesn't Mo Qing just need the help of this kind of person who knows how to rebel? If she wants to overthrow the Manchu court, she must ask some people to help, especially those who know how to rebel, and these people are very important people. Mo Qing has been following Zhu Yunqing for nine years, so he naturally knows that rebellion is not so simple. has followed Zhu Yunqing for nine years, and her stepfather has taught her a lot of cultural knowledge, which can be regarded as a good cultural foundation. But about the dragon slaying technique of rebellion, I haven't really learned it, and now there are people who know how to slay dragons, so it's the best choice.
However, Mo Qing is still not very reassured, especially this kind of rebellion must be cautious. She has been with Zhu Yunqing for nine years, but she has experienced a lot of things, although others don't care about her, but she has learned a lot. Obviously, it is impossible to think that it can be solved so easily, as Chen Dingtian said, rebellion is a technical work, not so easy and simple.
Mo Qing was even more determined to find a way to recruit this Chen Dingtian, so that she could complete the great cause of overthrowing the Manchu Qing Dynasty. However, she also knows that the situation that Chen Dingtian has exposed so far is a bit complicated. According to Mo Qing's observation during this time, Chen Dingtian's identity is mysterious, not only is there a female guard at the sticky pole of the Manchu Dynasty as his concubine and bodyguard, but Chen Dingtian is the son-in-law of Zhou Lichun, the chief helmsman of the surrounding Heaven and Earth Society, and even foreigners from three Western powers, who serve as secretaries, housekeepers and cooks respectively. This Chen Dingtian's way is really "wild" enough, so that Mo Qing doesn't dare to do it easily.
In fact, Mo Qing didn't know that it was precisely because the path around Chen Dingtian was too "wild" that the Manchu Qing Dynasty and the three Western countries did not dare to do it easily. Because all sides check each other, so that if one party makes a move, the other side will not agree, so a wonderful balance is formed, and this is the most important thing.
The more forces around Chen Dingtian, the safer Chen Dingtian is, which is the importance of balance. In the case of insufficient strength and power, knowing how to use the balance of surrounding forces is an important means to protect oneself. Otherwise, once one company dominates, there will definitely be problems in the end. In this situation, even the king of any country understands that maintaining the balance of forces on all sides and not letting any side have too much power is the way to be stable!
Although Britain, France, and Prussia are very strong in the West, they are strong in the East, and their hands are still not able to reach out to the East for the time being, so they are so safe. Now even if Mo Qing feels a headache, if Chen Dingtian has no one else by his side, then she can directly kidnap him, but the path around Chen Dingtian is too "wild", but he doesn't dare to act rashly.
"Forget it, wait, we'll see the situation later! Anyway, it can't be too smooth to hire a talent. Mo Qing thought helplessly.
