As the saying goes, the soldiers and horses go first before the grain and grass are moved, and the war is fought in preparation. Not only must there be a large number of troops, a large number of materials and facilities, and more people than the army, but also a more and more adequate general mobilization of public opinion, and this mobilization is precisely the basis for the best preparations in the front. It will motivate and inspire its own armies and populace, will disrupt the opponent's side, and will also receive many additional effects.

Just as Burblon saw in the newspaper Red Star, the Celestial Empire's propaganda machine was at full speed, propagating their policies and genuine acts of governance, and publicizing their new united front. They pointed out that patriotism and revolution are in no particular order, as long as they are all Chinese, for the sake of the country to get out of the abyss of war, for the sake of the country's strength and the people's prosperity, it is best to solve the problem without the means of war, everyone can sit down and talk slowly, as long as it is beneficial to the people of the world, because the Celestial Empire government upholds the honor of the country and the will of the broad masses of the people.

In order to adapt to the new shape, the Celestial Empire government even announced that in all new areas in the future, the Celestial Empire government would protect the legal private property of a qiē and temporarily refrain from carrying out land reform except for reasonable rent and interest reductions.

Of course, the Celestial Empire government will not indulge in such simple preaching, or hope that it will achieve their own goals, they have always been both gracious and powerful. While carrying out the above well-intentioned advice, they also used all kinds of historical changes to cheer for their upcoming final battle, while praising the national heroes who fought to save the Chinese nation in various periods, they also mentioned the famous "Five Hu Chaohua" in history, deliberately mentioned the "Hu Killing Order" of Ran Min, who was buried in the long river of history by the Manchu literati who was tampered with, and there was even no lack of praise for this "Wu Tianwang".

During this period, Li Xiucheng's exposition on "the Celestial Empire government and all previous wars against the Manchu government was not only a great and glorious just war against the Han nation, but also a great and glorious just war against the Manchu barbarian colonial rule." At the same time, many people felt refreshed and admired.

The article cites scriptures, from abroad to China, and explains in detail what colonial rule is in many aspects. It expounds the actual consequences of the Manchu colonial rule of China. He dissected the Manchu shaved and obeyed orders of wild beasts, the literary prisons that burned Confucianism even more than Qin Shi Huang, and the decades-long and inhumane ban on the sea. What does a barbarian from the bitter cold polar region rely on to make him and the Han people who have a history of civilization for thousands of years forget their ancestors? is a brutality, he completely tore off the ugly face of the so-called prosperous Kangqian era. And sadly show people that the two hundred years of Manchu colonial rule have only brought the Chinese nation the decay of human civilization and economic regression.

He warned people that one thing must be fully recognized. This is just like the national heroes Yue Wumu and Wen Tianxiang that people will never forget. If it is denied that the Manchu rule over China's great rivers and mountains was a brutal colonial rule, then the brutal acts of the Manchus, such as the Ten Days in Yangzhou and the Three Massacres in Jiading, are worthy of praise. Shi Kefa and a large number of anti-Qing national heroes are the biggest sinners in history, and Wu Sangui, a sinner and traitor through the ages, who has been despised and scolded by tens of millions of people, is the hero of the nation.

In the article, he even predicted that if people could not fundamentally understand the problem of Manchu colonial rule over China, then, in a few decades or even hundreds of years, there would be a second or third "Manchu Qing", who would use various excuses to once again complete their colonial rule over China in a different style, and eventually completely destroy the Han civilization.

In conclusion, he declared that without Han culture and Han civilization, there would be no civilization of the Chinese nation, and any attempt to arbitrarily tamper with, suppress, or even exterminate the Han culture is a malicious trampling on the civilization of the Chinese nation and an enemy of all Chinese nations.

As the propaganda minister of the Communist League and the temporary head of the General Staff of the Workers' and Peasants' Red Army of the Celestial Empire, the weight of Li Xiucheng's article can be imagined. It will naturally make people unnaturally think of Ran Min's "killing order". From a theoretical point of view, it sued all the people that anyone who dared to continue to tie themselves to the chariot of the Manchu government was a traitor. And all the warriors who fought bloodily for the Red Celestial Empire and the Manchu Qing Dynasty will be national heroes who will forever be recorded in history.

After Li Xiucheng's astonishing work was published, it was quickly used as a teaching material and distributed to all walks of life.

To this end, the organ newspaper of the Communist League published another editorial, "Long live the spirit of the strong dragon!" 》。

The editorial is titled the totem of the Chinese nation, revolving around the image of the dragon, and once again telling people a truth.

The totem shape of the dragon with a head like a camel, horns like a deer, eyes like a rabbit, ears like a cow, neck like a snake, belly like a clam, a lin and a carp, claws and an eagle, and a tiger in the palm not only symbolically contains all the animals in the sky, land, and sea, but also contains elements of plants such as pines and cypresses, that is to say, the dragon is a totem of a qiē creature. It is a symbol of a whole in the living world. It's big, complex, and deep.

The editorial writes that this imaginary totem, which is somewhat hideous, but thus shows its majesty and inviolability, precisely reflects the deep psychological consciousness of the Chinese nation in its pursuit of life order, symbiosis, and unification. And this consciousness comes from the portrayal of the life of our ancestors. Our ancestors were a predominantly agrarian people, and the most important thing for farmers is the annual harvest, and the quality of the harvest directly means the life of the next year. Therefore, our ancestors raised the character of farmers, who were committed to the destiny of heaven, kept their duties, and cherished peace. This is the smallholder character.

It is precisely because of the character of our ancestors that in the long process of historical development, it has made our ancestors go through thousands of disasters, and even appeared in the tragic situation of almost extinction during the period of "Five Hu Chaohua". Of course, it has also created our ancestors' super ability to integrate nations, absorbed the essence of other ethnic groups, and enriched the culture of our Chinese nation today.

The editorial said that the existence of a nation determines the character of a nation, and the character of a nation will inevitably determine the destiny of a nation. The reason why we can have today's degeneration cannot be denied that we are following the habits of our ancestors, one-sidedly emphasizing the tolerance and generosity of the "dragon" spirit, but forgetting the ferocity that it should have.

It is the cultural essence left to us by our ancestors that allows us to melt away one barbarian after another who colonized the land of China, so that they can finally become a member of our big family, and our nation can be continued. However, we should also realize that it is precisely because of the lack of culture left to us by our ancestors that we have forgotten the lessons of blood and the pain that is difficult to erase again and again.

Now that they are a family, should they forget their former cruelty? Nor can we forget the lessons they have left us. That doesn't mean we always remember those hatreds, no. What we need is a lesson, and what we need is that it never happens again. We are not Han nationalism, we also pursue the harmony of the big family and the friendly coexistence of all ethnic groups. However, as the majority of the Han people in this big family, they must take on the heavy responsibility of the whole big family. Our words and deeds will have an impact on the entire Chinese civilization.

As the Manchu colonial rule comes to an end, their descendants may also become part of our family. Of course, that requires their own willingness, and we won't force it if they don't. However, even if they become members of our big family, they will always feel the unspeakable shame and guilt of the unspeakable sins committed by their predecessors and the destruction of our Chinese civilization. Otherwise, there is no need for them to survive.

And we, like all history of humiliation, must be firmly remembered in this history of humiliation, and we must not forget the national heroes who sacrificed their lives in order to completely crush their colonial rule.

Forgetting the past means betrayal.

The government of the Celestial Empire called on all members of the Chinese nation to completely abandon the consciousness of small peasants and the dregs of the nation that do not want to make progress and are at peace with what happens. If you want to stand tall in the forest of the world and not fall, if you want to be free from external humiliation, it is far from enough to have a hard-working spirit and a broad mind. Not only is it not enough, but it will also be used by those with ulterior motives.

We want to pay high tribute to the heroes of all who have fought and sacrificed their lives to resist foreign humiliation, regardless of whether they have any other flaws. As long as they are fighting for the survival of our nation, they will be the national heroes of our Chinese nation. A nation without heroes of private capital will always be a nation of garbage, and this kind of nation should not live in this world.

We must inherit the spirit of national heroes, we must have a tenacious enterprising spirit, we must have the ferocious side of a strong dragon, and we must have a strong national character. That is, to be like the Red Army soldiers of our Celestial Empire, dare to say "no" to a qiē! We are absolutely inviolable dragons. Those who dare to offend my strong dragon will be punished even if they are far away!

For more than 200 years, all the national heroes from all walks of life who bravely sacrificed their lives in the battle against the invasion of the Manchu colonizers for the survival of the Chinese nation and in the unremitting struggle against the brutal rule of the Manchu colonial rulers are immortal!

Needless to say, this editorial is clearly written by Lin Haifeng.

It was under these circumstances that the Supreme Revolutionary Command Committee of the Celestial Empire announced that from now on, the officers and men of the Workers' and Peasants' Red Army who had made outstanding achievements in the war would begin to award the Meritorious Service Medal for National Liberation, that is, the Order of August 1, which was divided into three classes, pure gold, pure silver and bronze.

Then, the supreme revolutionary commander of the Celestial Empire began to openly solicit names for the flagships of the four main fleets of the Red Navy of the Celestial Empire in the near future, and asked them to be the four most famous national heroes of the Chinese nation in history.

Powerful political weapons, under certain conditions, have an immeasurable and tremendous effect. Taiwan is the first fruit of the Celestial Empire's strategy. Lin Wanqing, deputy director of the South China Military and Political Commission and deputy commander-in-chief of the Southern Front Army, sent a telegram from Fuzhou to Kong Zhaoci, the puppet governor of Fujian and the prefect of Taiwan, and the military commander of Taiwan, to send an envoy to ask for surrender.
