Chapter 99: Weaving the Web
“…… How can we restore the Han nationality and return my rivers and mountains! ”
The living room was silent at the same time, and the six people looked at Chen Moran, their eyes were full of incredulity, and in their surprise, Chen Moran went straight to light a cigarette for himself, and at the same time did not forget to point to the cigarette case on the table to make a request, when the six of them were surprised, he continued.
He silently believed that the current controversy between the reformers and the revolutionaries was really absurd, and that Kang Liang and other reformers were all about preserving the foreign power of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, while the revolutionaries blindly emphasized revolutionary destructiveism under the pretense that only revolution could save China, and although some compatriots refused to recognize the Manchu Qing Dynasty, they did not agree with revolutionary sabotage. I beg your forgiveness for being ignorant, and in your silent view, the most important thing in China today is by no means mired in a dispute over various doctrines. ”
Holding a cigarette between his fingers, Chen Moran's expression was solemn when he frowned.
"Jianyu has been living in the Central Plains for hundreds of years, in the face of the crisis, every thought is to maintain the ruling privileges of his family, for decades why the move of foreign affairs has not been moved to the general and fundamental, I am afraid that it is not unrelated to the heart of the family, whether it is constitutional, change, in the end, the Han people will be given their rights, prevent Han such as thieves, has always been the heart of Jianyu, not to mention that we and other Han people are all domestic slaves in the hearts of Jianyu, how can slaves get their rights, so there is a measure of China's material resources, the joy of forming friends, it can be seen, Even today, Jianyu is still thinking about how to maintain his rule of six million Jianyu. Every time I think about the crisis of today, I silently think that if the Opium War was born in the late Ming Dynasty and what kind of changes will it cause, I am afraid that the war will be lost, and our national regime has already sent people to stay abroad to investigate the move of changing the law and seeking strength. ”
At this time, the whole living room could only Chen Moran's words, the six people just quietly listened to his narration, Chen Moran's voice was not loud, but the deep voice was like a sermon, so that when the six people listened to these words, their expressions became more and more solemn, analyzing the current situation from a national standpoint, which is a common thing for today's revolutionaries, although the six people were not surprised, but Chen Moran's narration was attracted.
Gently spitting out the smoke, Chen Moran made a sad look.
The revolutionaries also said that only the revolution and the overthrow of the Manchu Qing Dynasty could save China from the urgency of destroying the country and the species, but how could they know that China had been extinct for 257 years, and that 40,000 of our compatriots had been enslaved by 6 million foreign races for 257 years! In the midst of slavery, there is probably nothing more urgent than the quest for national liberation! ”
Emotions are often contagious, when Chen Moran showed a heart-wrenching appearance, the six people were like this between their eyebrows, the grief and pain of the six people were different from Chen Moran's help, and their grief was one for the nation and the other for the current situation.
"Sir, as you can see, there is nothing to achieve national liberation, and after national liberation, there is always a nation, it is ......"
Without waiting for Zhang Ji to finish speaking, Chen Moran waved his hand.
"For thousands of years, our people have always been influenced by others, and this land has risen to fight small people, how can they choose the future by themselves!"
While shaking his head, Chen Moran looked at the six people in front of him.
"For thousands of years, we have waited for small people, but we are just sheep who pay taxes! Now it's even more of a donation's sheep, a subordinate of alien enslavement! Hundreds of revolutionaries sang about the republic, but how could their actions be a republican act? Definitely! How can hundreds of people make decisions for 45,000,000 people! How can we decide the fate of others! In this way, what is the difference between building a captive and deciding the fate of our clan for the selfish interests of a clan? ”
When the six of them were shocked, Chen Moran took a sip of the cold tea in the cup.
As Yu Mo saw that the national uprising was the most important, then we would temporarily abandon the struggle between doctrine and insight, and go all out to seek national liberation. When the nation is liberated, the future of the country can be chosen by the 450 million compatriots, and the path and future of the country are left to the people here to choose. ”
Surprised expressions emerged from the faces of the six people, they may be revolutionaries, but the beliefs of the six people are completely different, their understanding of the revolution is varied, but just as Chen Moran said, they have the idea of "making decisions for others" in their hearts.
"In this decisive battle for the future of the nation, the most are those little people who have given their lives for this struggle for ideals and tomorrow, and they are insignificant supporting roles under the stage of political parties, revolutionaries, politicians, and warlords, and what they seek is nothing more than worldly happiness, but it is they who make history come true. If they make history, why can't they determine the future? Why can't we let the masses of our nation decide what path we will take in the future? ”
Two rhetorical questions were asked in the hearts of the six people, and the shocked six people's hearts trembled, and their eyes changed slightly when they looked at Chen Moran, if it was yesterday, just like what he said in the river boat, maybe it was between revolutionaries and pseudo-revolutionaries, and now they finally understand Chen Moran, he is not a revolutionary, and what is the name of a pseudo-revolutionary.
But his mind is far from being compared with those revolutionaries, who have decided the future of the nation in the door, but he openly and directly leaves the future to the compatriots in this land to decide, and his plan is only for the liberation of the nation.
"Sir, you have said that your compatriots are insensitive, how can they decide the future of the country!"
Qin Yuliu hesitated and said his question.
"In your opinion, after the revolution and the republic, who will determine the future of the country? Since there is a republic, the people can decide the future, so why can't the people decide the future of the country when the nation is liberated? ”
A faint rhetorical question only made Qin Yuliu speechless, but his speechlessness only made Chen Moran smile in his heart, attacking the shield of the son with the spear of the son.
"Sir, it's really hard for me to wait!"
In the end, Qin Yuliu hugged his fists and sighed with a little shame.
Magnanimous! Is it really open?
Since deciding to embark on this road, Chen Moran has never thought of letting himself be mixed up with the small supporting role on this stage, nor has he thought of using his body to pave the way for the achievements of revolutionaries, that is by no means his choice, the so-called choice to the people is nothing more than some of his side thoughts.
Faced with Qin Yuliu's shame, Chen Moran just smiled and waved his hand.
In Mo Ran's view, the only thing needed now is to train troops and prepare for national liberation, as for the future, it is up to the people to decide! I have my mission, and our people have their power! ”
In an instant, Chen Moran's image grew taller with his words, and the six of them seemed to see a real person who served the people and the country, without the empty talk of revolutionaries, without the ambition of politicians, and only loyalty to the nation.
Under the sunset, Pudong, shrouded in red glow, even the earth was dyed red by the sun, it was just a "highway" that had just been drawn out, and there were bursts of smoke and dust, and in the dusty smell of earth, there were bursts of passwords.
The scene of nearly 1,000 people running, most of the farmers on the boundary of Pudong have taken it for granted, and the engineering team of the Zhucheng Construction Company under the industrial company has run ten miles of land every morning and evening for "intensive training".
The explanation of the industrial company is very clear, usually running, exercise to maintain physical fitness, only a strong body can complete the construction project in the shortest possible time, the two buildings of the Dehuai Orphanage built in less than two months, is not a clear proof.
For the outside world, people have long been accustomed to this kind of "keep fit" running, but for those workers in white shirts and blue pants in the engineering team, these ten days, they are more and more unable to get used to this kind of "keep".
When the canvas bag sewn with cow tendon rope for leather shoes was first distributed to everyone, the big guy was not happy for a while, but then that night, no one could be happy, and the captains of each squad sent a message, and each person put ten green bricks in his bag.
That night, more than 1,900 people, everyone carried a bag that night, and the bag did not contain anything on the side, that is, ten big green bricks, almost forty pounds, and ran back to the camp at night, and the captains counted the bricks one by one. As a result, there were screams that night, and more than 300 people were whipped for throwing away a few bricks for playing tricks. Since the day of the fight, naturally I have never dared to be lazy and slippery.
"Phew......"
Spit out the ashes in his mouth, Dong Haotian only felt that fire seemed to come out of his throat and eyes, fourteen days, since he received this canvas bag fourteen days ago, the nightmarish experience began, every day to carry these more than forty pounds of things and run twenty miles, it is undoubtedly a kind of torture.
"Dog! It's already the second lap! When is it a head! ”
Although I hated it in my heart, I didn't come down under my feet.
"The boss ordered, go back and add dinner in the evening of the first place today, braised pork and white rice can be eaten!"
Wei Ze, who was also tired and exhausted, ran in the middle of the team and shouted loudly, using braised pork to motivate these people who were already tired enough, and today he ran not ten miles, but twenty miles. Twenty miles away, but gritting your teeth can always hold on.
"Click...... Click......"
When thousands of pairs of feet began to run with the shouts of the squad leader, squad leader, and captain, the sound of nearly a thousand pairs of powerful feet stepping on the ground was like a heavy drum.
Looking at the slowly dispersed team from the binoculars, Chen Moran sighed lightly, and turned directly into the gate, this is the second lap, this lap is exactly ten kilometers, but the results are not as good as he imagined, and even the originally neat team has become messy after a lap.
"Sir, this is your soldier?"
Niu Yongjian, Lan Tianwei and others looked at Chen Moran and asked in surprise.
These days, they have a very comfortable life, and Chen Moran talks about the nation, the country, and the current situation, and the reason why they are always good is not enough, Chen Moran said to take them to see their team, but they didn't expect that the so-called "team" turned out to be an engineering team.
Chen Moran, who was walking towards the wooden platform, shook his head.
"Not yet!"
Seeing that these people were a little puzzled, Chen Moran opened his mouth to explain.
"It's impossible for all of these people to change from construction workers to qualified soldiers, and when they come back from running, I'll pick some!"
"Sir, you mean knocking out some people with running?"
"Not exactly!"
Shaking his head and smiling at the six people in front of him, Chen Moran sat on the chair of the wooden platform, there are more than 2,000 people in the entire engineering team, but now there are only 1,000 people left here, and even the rest of the people were beaten to the construction sites in Ma'anshan and Huainan early in the morning, as well as the small construction sites in Pudong.
"These people, no matter how well they are trained in the future, they are still soldiers, for the army, officers are the soul, officers, I don't have them, at least not now!"
Staring at the six people in front of him, among the six of them, Niu Yongjian and Lan Tianwei are Lu Shi officers, although they have not yet graduated, they are better than nothing.
Among the six people, Niu Yongjian and Lan Tianwei glanced at each other, and now they naturally understood what Chen Moran meant, if it was in a year or two, the two might not hesitate at all, this time their biggest gain from returning to China may be to see this team, when the revolutionaries in Shanghai were agitating for revolution there, and this crutch gentleman in Shanghai had already begun to prepare for "action", uprising rather than revolution, this is what Chen Moran said, for national rebels, their only idea is to restore the freedom of the nation, And not for the sake of some kind of revolution.
As Han Chinese, they are naturally willing to join this action of "recovering the Han nationality and restoring the rivers and mountains", but now they can't help but hesitate, Niu Yongjian is only one year above Lu Shi, and Lan Tianwei has just finished serving in the army, and will only enter Lu Shi to study after the summer vacation.
"Xiaozhi, Ji Hao, I know what you are thinking, you have not yet completed your studies in Lushi, and it is not appropriate to let you come over now, but this soldier still has to be trained, and it is obviously not enough to just refer to those foreign instructors, so I hope you can help me train for a month first!"
"Mr. Xie understands, he said that once we finish our studies, we will return to Mr. Xie and put ourselves in the midst of the national uprising!"
Nodding, Chen Moran continued.
"This month, when you are training, pay attention to choosing the right person, I am going to run a sports school here!"
"Sports school?"
Seeing that the six of them were a little surprised, Chen Moran just nodded, and then continued.
"That's right, the name of the external is a sports school, but the internal is the training of military talents, half a year or a year for a period, students graduate soldiers, some students directly into the island training, responsible for commanding the troops, the other part of the top students will return to the province, in the province to establish a branch, the branch can be 50 to 100 people for a period, a year later, in addition to the best students recommended outside the Shanghai head school, every two or three graduates, and then return to the state capital, create a branch, and then responsible for training 50 people to a hundred years, if this way to train military personnel, Within a few years, physical education schools in various localities will be able to train thousands of young people who are not only physically fit, but also have military skills and a certain level of command, so as to meet the needs of large-scale national uprisings and military improvements. ”
When he said this, Chen Moran's face was proud, this was a method he came up with after thinking and meditating for several days, the reason why he was running a military academy was to learn from the experience of the Whampoa Military Academy that would appear more than 20 years later, and it was precisely because of the Whampoa Student Army that the Northern Expedition was successful.
As for this model of establishing branch schools, in fact, it draws on the experience of the "pyramid scheme" expansion of those training schools in later generations; in addition to further expanding the source of students, these branch schools can also select their outstanding ones to supplement the further training of their own schools; as for the students who are slightly inferior in their studies, they can be pawns of the nation in the early days, and they can also serve as grassroots officers after the expansion of their strength.
"Soldiers can be recruited at any time, but officers are the soul of the army, and of course a few thousand people alone cannot defeat the millions of Manchu troops, but what if there are thousands or even tens of thousands of officers? The large-scale sports school can train thousands or even tens of thousands of officers in two or three years, which is equivalent to having an army of hundreds of thousands of people in a few decades! At that time, once it was fully launched, the national recovery could be said to be just around the corner! ”
Chen Moran's words only said that the six people were enthusiastic, and it seemed that they had seen the day when this student army was built, and they also seemed to have seen the day when the nation was restored.
Before the other people could speak, Shi Jiuguang was the first to ask, he was not like Lan Tianwei and the others in the building of Tokyo Imperial University, naturally as soon as he heard that this sports school was actually a military school, he immediately moved his mind.
"Sir, when was your military academy established!"
"A month or two!"
As he spoke, Chen Moran looked at the rows of houses in this courtyard, these houses can be temporarily used as school buildings and classrooms for military schools, and then expand the yard, at least the shelves of the school can be pulled out first, and everything has to come step by step.
"Then we ......"
Qin Yuliu looked at the gentleman in front of him excitedly, and when he was about to speak, Chen Moran waved his hand.
"Nian Xuan, you don't need to apply for a sports school for the time being, that is, in the name of fake sports, to establish a military school, then you need students, your biggest strength is not in the military school, but in the book, contact like-minded people in the book, and then recommend them to study in the sports school, officers without knowledge can not become good officers, stay in the college where they have been, and have also studied in various universities in the book......"
When persuading them to give up this idea, Chen Moran was actually making other small calculations in his heart, how many people who can study abroad in this era are poor? Even if there are poor people, there are all "well-known talents" in their hometowns, and it is more advantageous to bring such people to the school, even if there are only fifty people, than to recruit five hundred people, and these fifty people can use their fame to attract more students when they return to their provinces or hometowns and open branch schools.
There are always too many people, the more the merrier. What's more, the first phase seems to be famous, but in fact, the first phase of any school when it was founded will not have many talents.
And at the end of this big net is...... The corners of his lips raised, Chen Moran smiled, looking at the young people in front of him who were still immersed in the dream that he had made up for them, "the future of the nation is determined by the compatriots of the nation", in the next few years, I don't know how many people will be immersed in this dream, as for what kind of fruit this dream will bear, how can they know!
When I was smiling, there were already scattered workers running in at the gate.
