Chapter 105: God's Words
In June, the Nanjing Nationalist Government continued to take a tough stance and officially promulgated the "Constitution of the Republic of China for the Period of Discipline and Administration", stipulating that "during the period of discipline and administration, the National Congress of the Chinese Kuomintang shall exercise the central ruling power on behalf of the National Assembly; When the National Congress of the Chinese Kuomintang is not in session, its functions and powers are exercised by the Central Executive Committee". The chairman and members of the Nationalist Government are elected by the Central Executive Committee of the Chinese Kuomintang. The power to interpret the "covenant law" is also exercised by the Central Committee of the Kuomintang.
The CCP refuted in Xinmin Daily that it was a dictatorship and did not recognize it.
In opposition was the decision of the Standing Committee of the Kuomintang Guangzhou Nationalist Government to form a military committee. Adhere to the Taiyuan Covenant Law formulated by Wang Jingwei in Taiyuan. The Kuomintang was in a state of actual split.
At this time, Captain Nakamura Shintaro of the Japanese General Staff went to Northeast China to engage in espionage activities, and on June 26, he was arrested by the headquarters of the Third Regiment of the Chinese Reclamation Army stationed there.
The Japanese cabinet has issued threats to the Chinese government over the "Nakamura incident".
In July, under the manipulation of Japan, a large-scale anti-Chinese incident occurred in North Korea.
Beginning in July, the vegetation in the north began to flourish, and some Mongolian herders and a large number of inland herders entered the Altai Mountains, Gurban Saihan Mountains and Yinshan Mountains. Some inland herders do not leave the mountain pasture management stations built by the army, and in addition to grazing, they also shoulder the responsibility of managing pastures and mountain forests.
In August, more and more herders moved into the mountains, always reaching 200,000 people, almost all over the mountains. These people have no intention of leaving at all. They built settlements and expanded temporary roads built by the troops. Some even reclaim farmland. Of course, all these mainlanders are planting trees and grasses. Even in the mountains and forests, you can see them planting plants that have never been seen before.
Some Mongolian people have also taken the lead, and the grasslands and mountains and forests are the mother of herders. It is also a tradition of the Mongolian people to protect them, but it has never been more important than it is now. Mongolians who have been to the interior know how dense the mountains and forests are, how rich the products are, and how beautiful the rivers and lakes are. The beasts inside are enough to feed many people, and there are so many types that they are overwhelming. Unlike the steppe, wolves became a scourge.
There are wolves in the interior, but they are not packed. There are tigers. But tigers are born with their own territory. There are also bears, leopards and other beasts. The problem is that the relationship between these beasts and humans is not so tense.
Of course, it is also related to the strength of the mainlanders.
The Mongolian people like to be with the mainlanders because they can easily take down the beasts. Some also breed beasts of prey. These beasts have now followed them to the Altai and Yinshan regions. The cultivation methods of these inland people are completely different from the previous cultivation methods of the Han people. This reminds some herders of shamans who have disappeared for many years, and of what the "Boe" and "Odegen" said that everything in the world has a spirit. It's just that these people in the interior are not God's messengers, and they may be able to become gods. for they nourish all things.
Some Uyghurs, Kazakhs, Tatars, and Mongols who believed in shamans also settled down with the mainlanders. Learn from these people how to grow a variety of plants and how to manage pastures and forests. They practiced the martial arts of the Han Chinese as a dance that could be used to channel the spirits.
No matter how the mainlanders interpret it, they can be associated with the teachings of shamanism. And some scholars have really begun to study the history and philosophy of shamanism and compare it to Taoism. They are considered older than Taoism, originating from primitive worship, which is the result of summarization and philosophizing. Their emphasis on nature is in line with today's environmental concepts.
It's just that it will take generations to rule out the cult mentality.
Schools have been built in some settlements with larger transportation routes. Teach agriculture and teach children to read. Of course, it's to know Chinese characters. And according to the teachers, Chinese characters evolved from pictures, and their original images are in the same vein as shamanic totems and symbols. They may not know why they write a single Chinese character, but by telling the history of the evolution of each Chinese character, these people will quickly understand why they write it this way and what it means.
Therefore, the promotion of Chinese characters is not as difficult as imagined. Instead, it is regarded by some shamans as the text of God.
This is a result that even Zhang Chun did not expect. The scholars who participated in the survey were quick to suggest that when schools re-teach Chinese characters, it is important to explain the evolution of each character clearly. Literacy textbooks also need to be rewritten.
As a result of this scheme, many of the glyphs that would have been simplified were actually negated. Because the simplified glyph does not explain the original meaning of the word.
The seminar of the Standard Character Committee was held in Wuwei, and scholars from all over the world gathered. However, there are not only experts in writing, but also experts in philosophy and history.
"'Fish' can be simplified to 'fish', but Jiangsu's 'Su' cannot be reduced to 'Su', because Jiangsu is the land of fish and rice. No other language has ever been so closely associated with history, religion, and philosophy. Pigs are in the house, because people want to be rich. Two trees are forests, and three trees are forests. Draw the tiger for the tiger and the dragon for the dragon. I am afraid that there is no such writing in the world that is so closely related to the environment and society as the Chinese script. It inherits our concept of the unity of nature and man. At the same time, many texts are closely related to our philosophical ideas. The so-called leather is the image of the hair on the fur that has been holding a knife in hand, and what word can be more philosophical than this word?
When we teach words, we are not only teaching words, but also our history, the ideas left by our ancestors.
There are people who think that our word is the word of God, but we want to abandon it, and that is intolerable. Now in the Altai and Yinshan regions, written education can be passed on to children together with our policies and our ideas, and they are the cornerstone of our future foothold in the north. If I had to say that we wanted to create a script that would be in line with our policies and propaganda, I would rather create such a script. But not now, because our ancestors have prepared it for us. ”
Zhang Chun's speech drew warm applause from the scholars present. In the standard character committee, some simplified glyphs that were clearly eager for success were eliminated.
With the stabilization of the Altai and Yinshan regions, the 21st and 25th armies began to move to Henan and Hubei. The entire north was handed over to Lu Zhonglin, Li Mingzhong, and Ye Jianying.
The former enemy command moved to Yangyang.
Some veterans of the 21st Army and the 25th Army stayed in the local area, not because they were unwilling to return to the south, but because they thought that this was an area that Wei Qinghuo had not yet reached when he was sick, and asked them to guard it.
Zhou Rong and Zhang Tian are already nearly fifty years old. The perennial conquest has given them a kind of prestige and killing atmosphere.
When the 21st and 25th armies appeared in front of the people in order, the students, who had always been fearless, felt awe. It also made Zhu De, who greeted him, feel that this torrent was only flowing silently by himself, and there was no way to compare with his troops in Jiangnan.
Soon, the military headquarters demanded that all armies again conduct mixed and reorganized training. They want to bring the spirit of this force to all units. After the reorganization, it was the 21st Army, which remained in Xiangyang. The 25th Army arrived at Macheng. This gave Yang Hucheng the opportunity to concentrate his troops in Zhengzhou and Anyang for a generation.
In this way, in the face of the defense area of the Central Army, the Wuhan government concentrated the strength of the five armies.
On behalf of the Wuhan government, Soong Ching-ling once again called for a truce between the Central Army and all departments and men, and threatened to send troops. Song Qingling also sent a message to Song Ziwen and Song Meiling about the armistice. This let Song Meiling know that this second sister might be real.
Chiang Kai-shek also felt that his strength was indeed insufficient to subdue the warlords at this time, so he agreed to hold peace talks in Wuhan.
During the peace talks, Mao Shishan, Li Dazhao, and Wu Hao once again put forward an appeal for streamlining the administration of the army. He believes that under the influence of the world economic crisis, the people are already miserable, and all localities should streamline their administration and reduce the burden on the people.
At the meeting, the issue of recovering the rights and interests of the Jiaodong Peninsula and Northeast China was once again raised. But Chiang Kai-shek and Zhang Xueliang were silent.
Zhang Xueliang had lost trust in Chiang Kai-shek.
Zhang Xueliang went back before the meeting was finished. Because Japan threatened with force, Zhang Xueliang asked Zhang Xueliang to hand over Guan Yuheng to Japan.
The first to put forward the idea that Japan was likely to expand the occupied area was Bai Chongxi, who advised Li Zongren not to act rashly for the time being. And Chiang Kai-shek was also willing to make Li Zongren vice president and deputy commander-in-chief of the revolutionary army. The army is combined. Long Yun also agreed to the request for reorganization.
Li Zongren asked Soong Ching-ling or Zhang Chun to serve as guarantors as vice president.
Song Qingling declined on behalf of himself and Zhang Chun.
And Yan Xishan, Han Fuqu and Shi Yousan had no trust in Chiang Kai-shek. Disagreement with the integration. I went straight back.
However, Yan Xishan actually took advantage of Zhang Xueliang's lack of time to take care of Hebei, stayed on the front line of Shijiazhuang and Handan, and refused to withdraw to Shanxi. (To be continued......)
