Before the unification of Prussia, Germany was nominally part of the Holy Roman Empire, but the princes went their own way, and in fact formed independent states. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info The map of Germany in this period, if each country is painted as a separate color block, the dozens of colors used by normal people are not even enough, and this picture is estimated to be used as a test map for color blindness to identify colors.
Among the German princes, Austria, which still holds the title of emperor, is the most powerful, and the second is Prussia, which is ruled by the Brandenburg family. These two are the first-class powers of Europe, able to speak in international affairs, and are the main forces in the war in Europe. The secondary territory is not small, but also has a certain strength, such as the Duchy of Bavaria, the Elector of Saxony, etc. Among the princes of Oldenburg, Mecklenburg, Hesse-Kassel and so on can be named.
This reality makes it very difficult for people living in this land to communicate with each other, although they speak the same language. Communication is troublesome, and economic and cultural exchanges between them are even more troublesome, which makes it more difficult to deliberately spread the idea of internationalism in the German region.
As a commissioner sent to Germany by the Tang Dynasty, although there are some veterans who have retired from the German Corps, and there are also some eyeliners that the Tang people bought locally before, their strength is still relatively weak. Having studied systematically in revolutionary struggle, Marnes clearly knew the importance of organization. With a strong and reliable organization, the revolution is half the battle.
Of course, in the early days, Marnes's main work was to propagate ideas, and the expansion of the organization was not a priority. Internationalism is not a restricted thing, but if you are all over the street handing out leaflets. Or like a dry pyramid scheme. It's bound to attract the attention of others. In order to spread the idea of internationalism, it is necessary to first understand who is the more direct audience.
Marnes was soberly aware. Only people who are dissatisfied with their status quo and social status can become quality rebels and revolutionaries. Back then, Taizu had a very full understanding of this. The main social contradiction in Germany is in fact the emerging contradiction between capitalism and the traditional feudal forces. Of course, the bourgeoisie is not the natural audience of internationalism, they are mercenary, and they will be more power-seeking. Of course, the part of internationalism that pursues equality for all, the emancipation of human nature, and the development of industry and commerce still has points of convergence with the bourgeoisie.
For the broader German working people, internationalism would give them a higher social status, while promising a better standard of living and political rights. This is also very attractive, and of course the material change itself should be a core point of propaganda.
However, it was not easy to extend propaganda to the vast rural areas of Germany, especially the traditional feudal system in Germany, which made a considerable number of peasants more dependent on the feudal lords, and they would be subject to more control from the feudal lords, of course, they were naturally opposed to this personal attachment and control, and as long as they could win them, they could get support. On the other side are the increasingly powerful urban artisans, who are relatively easy to publicize.
With the financial backing of Datang, Marnes was able to do more, such as using money to soon open a school in Hamburg. This school does not offer a complete Datang education. Most of the teachers he hired were local teachers, and the quality of these teachers was not very high. However, it is enough to provide some basic education. Marnes also has some primary education textbooks from Datang, which are relatively high in mathematics and natural science, that is, at the most Datang primary and junior high school levels. Many teachers don't understand it themselves, but it's not impossible to read from the textbook.
The school, which educates the children of local Hamburg citizens, has no female students due to the low level of openness in Europe. The school provides subsidized education for the children of the citizens of the Free City of Hamburg, and many families with poor financial conditions cannot afford to pay for their children's education. In the short term, it is clear that such schools that are open to the common people will not be welcomed by the aristocracy and the wealthy, and in fact the education of the children of the upper class in Europe is mostly concentrated in church schools or more advanced tutors. They would not want their children to go to school with ordinary people.
The first batch of Marnes enrolled more than 100 students, all of whom were young people between the ages of 8 and 14. In addition to teaching them cultural knowledge, one of the most important things in Marnes was to get smuggled goods. This is internationalism. The formation of young people's three views has a great relationship with their own education. A child from a Catholic family is generally more religious and religious. Although the students may not accept all the ideas taught by the teacher, they will at least have a greater impact.
Students are also a more progressive and radical group, and the ideas of internationalism are inherently progressive and advanced, in short, they are fashionable and trendy, and students will dress themselves up with these lofty things, and of course, when they really agree, they will not hesitate to give their lives.
Marnes doesn't need to sacrifice these young lives either, he just needs these children to embrace the ideas of internationalism and then act as a spark to slowly turn a spark into a prairie fire. In the future, after the formation of the German Revolutionary Party, a considerable number of people from Marnes's schools will become the backbone and will be sent to various places to develop new organizations.
And Marnes will not only open schools in Hamburg, but also in major cities such as Bremen, Lübeck and Hanover. The cost of opening a school in Germany is not very high, and the locals value education. Datang is able to provide sufficient financial resources. Moreover, the layout of Datang for Germany is not short-term, and Marnes has a long time to slowly cultivate the internationalist ideological atmosphere in Germany and develop the organization of the National Revolutionary Party.
In various forms, Marnes and the people who were also appointed by the Tang Dynasty subtly planted the seeds of internationalist ideas here. Germany is one of the core areas of the Tang Dynasty's infiltration, and the rest of the country is the same, but not so strongly. (To be continued.) )
