People of faith are very different from people of no faith. [No pop-ups]

There is a difference between people with scientific beliefs and people with non-scientific beliefs.

People with religious superstitions are completely different from those with revolutionary ideals.

Wang Shuhui has not been in contact with scholars since the end of the Ming Dynasty, relatively low-level readers, and people with fame such as children's talents, in addition to Gu Junen and his gang, there are also a few in the revival party. Among them, Gu Guozhang, chief of the general staff of the Central Military Commission of the Renaissance Army, is a talented man from a tough state.

Wang Shuhui had previously separated Confucianism from Confucian scholars. He believes that Confucianism can be regarded as a philosophical or sociological thought, and that Mr. Kong Er can be regarded as a thinker in the pre-Qin era. However, the legendary Confucian figures before Mr. Kong Er, such as Zhou Gong and the like, and the Confucian scholars after Mr. Kong Er, have little to do with Mr. Kong Er and the Confucianism founded by Mr. Kong Er.

He believes that after Dong Zhongshu shoehorned the unity of heaven and man into the Confucian ideological system, it became a state-level ideology that was respected by a hundred schools, and Confucianism, which was tied to the feudal system, and the Confucian scholars who believed in this thought, turned Confucianism, which was originally a philosophy and sociology, into a specific religion, Confucianism.

The transformation from a theoretical doctrine to a religion means that all religions based on idealism have the drawbacks of their existence. Religion does not exist because of the existence of believers, religion exists because of the existence of the system that spreads and governs religion.

The Confucian ideology, which has been stuffed with a large number of personal personal goods and has been constantly stuffed into private goods in the course of historical development, like all religions, has only been exploited by the managers and organizers of the Confucian system. In other words, the value of its existence is that it exists as a tool for the feudal ruling class to fool the people and seize power.

Fundamentally speaking, the organizers and managers of Confucian religions, like all heretical sects, do not believe in the contents of these religions and will not abide by the tenets of these religions at all.

In the case of Catholicism, for example, those who crucified Christ, the Lord, and those who professed Catholicism as the state religion. Those who collected taxes in the name of Catholicism and enriched themselves, and those who launched the Crusades to carry out massacres in the name of jihad.

As a materialist, Wang Shuhui's reason for not believing in all religions, apart from the fact that those things are fundamentally non-scientific and irrational ideologies, is that all religions embody a two-faced characteristic of saying one thing and doing another. This makes religion not only useless in a practical sense, but also full of hypocrisy in a moral sense.

This is the reason why Wang Shuhui, as an educated person, deliberately separated the Confucianism initiated by Mr. Kong Er from the subsequent Confucian religious system.

Of course, Wang Shuhui, a modern youth, has a certain chauvinistic ideology, and after later discovering that this term of Confucianism originated from Western missionaries who had the dual identities of cultural colonization and invader leading the way, Wang Shuhui easily stopped using the concept of Confucianism.

Now when it comes to the question of religion, the main reason is that in the Cangzhou Campaign, Sun Yuanhua, who had two identities as Confucianism and Catholic believers.

The Battle of Cangzhou happened suddenly and ended quickly.

In fact, even if there was no attack by the Baxing Army, no logistical supplies from Beijing, and the Shandong region was completely controlled by the Baath Party, whether it was Lu Xiangsheng's Tianxiong Army or Sun Yuanhua's Shandong New Army, they either broke up on their own or became bandits and bandits to rob homes and houses without food and wages.

Before the temporary formation of the First Army Corps of the Ludong Military Region appeared outside Cangzhou, the Tianxiong Army and the Shandong New Army, which had been cut off for a period of time, had already begun to be unstable.

The feudal army is actually a mercenary army. All feudal armies do not exist on ideologies. Mercenaries who have no ideological cohesion and no common ideals and convictions pursue the basic principle that soldiers eat food and who eats their food and who gives their lives.

In a capitalist society, mercenaries and military service can also be maintained by the awakening of the national and national consciousness of the population. However, in the feudal society, the ignorant people who lack education, do not have any education, and cannot have a basic understanding of the macro interests of the country and the nation have no resistance to pressure.

As a pure mercenary, once you can't get your due military salary and can't eat normal military food, then the army will be unstable and the army will collapse.

This is why the government army of the Ming Dynasty was superior to the Later Jin Jurchen in terms of the nature and material conditions of the army, as well as the technical level, but it could not defeat the Later Jin Jurchen army. Because the post-Jin Jurchen army in the state of slavery still has a common ideology that at least maintains the survival and reproduction of its own nation.

So from this point of view, don't look at Sun Yuanhua's Shandong New Army and Lu Xiangsheng's Tianxiong Army in the late Ming Dynasty Army, the combat effectiveness of the army is outstanding, but because their army is still a mercenary army under the feudal system, then in the case of losing food and salary supplies, the performance of the Shandong New Army and the Tianxiong Army will not be much better than the performance of the "thief" army of the "thief" general Zuo Liangyu in history.

Disturbing the people in Cangzhou City is a trivial matter, killing people and robbing, and setting fires because of a certain sensitive doomsday premonition and other crazy actions can be seen everywhere in Cangzhou City.

In the absence of military pay and rations, the identities of Sun Yuanhua and Lu Xiangsheng have ceased to be deterrent and authoritative because the news of the collapse of the central government of the Ming Dynasty has been fully spread (the handwriting of Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong). Before the Fuxing Army appeared outside Cangzhou, Sun Yuanhua and Lu Xiangsheng's main job was to try to maintain order in Cangzhou City and control the army as much as possible.

It's thanks to the Revival Army. After the 30,000 troops of the First Army of the Ludong Military Region appeared outside Cangzhou, because of the common enemy and the common threat, Sun Yuanhua and Lu Xiangsheng quickly regained their control of the army.

However, when the revival army showed an unbelievable combat effectiveness that seemed like a demon to people in this era, the order in Cangzhou City quickly fell back into a state of out-of-control.

In later generations, there was a rather joking saying, that in the face of advanced organizations and political parties, all enemies would show a ridiculous situation of "no one in the world is in line with the Communist Party."

The same situation is very much the case faced by the Baath Army.

To take the simplest example, when the Fuxing Army attacked the Ming Dynasty government army and the city guarded and controlled by the Chuang army, both the Ming Dynasty government army and the Chuang army would quickly fall into a state of chaos due to despair after the Fuxing Army showed a strong combat effectiveness that seemed impossible to resist, and then, prompted by a hysterical mood, they robbed and plundered the people in the city they guarded.

Of course, this is not something that the Baath Party, which regards the ideological principle of emancipating the people and serving the people, does not want to see. But objectively, what they did was exactly to tear off all their hypocritical masks and natural legitimacy in front of the people without any scruples.

After the Baath Party defeated the enemy and took over the area, it was precisely because of their various evil deeds that the Ba'ath Party, which had committed no crime against the masses and took the initiative to rescue and help the people, gained natural justice and legitimacy. It was the direct reason why the Baath Party, which wholeheartedly rescued and helped the masses of the people, put the gangsters and soldiers who violated law and discipline on public trial and hung them on the gallows, and upheld justice for the masses of the people, quickly won the strong support and enthusiastic support of the local people.

Under the two-day siege of the First Regiment of the Ludong Military Region, the Shandong New Army and the Tianxiong Army in Cangzhou City quickly degenerated into chaotic bandits, wantonly killing and looting the people in Cangzhou City.

In the face of a ruler who has fallen into madness, the masses of the people will point to the sun and say such decisive words as "Hate not to die with you". After the Tianxiong Army and the Shandong New Army in Cangzhou City fell into madness, the people in Cangzhou City also wanted the army outside the city to enter the city as soon as possible, so that they could die together with the rebels in the city.

From this point of view, the revival army has not yet entered the city, and the people's will is already on the side of the revival army.

This is because of the strong fighting capacity of the Ba'ath Army and the mechanical and dogmatic characteristics of the commanders of the Ba'ath Army in terms of tactics, and especially because of the nature of the People's Soldiers of the Ba'ath Army. In order not to injure the masses of the people as much as possible, and in order to give full play to the powerful combat effectiveness of the Renaissance Army and the ability of the commanders of the Renaissance Army in battle, "avoiding siege warfare as much as possible" and "turning siege warfare into field warfare as much as possible" have become a military characteristic of the Renaissance Army.

According to the combat experience summed up by the Fuxing Army in the base area in southern Liaoning. The role of the battle strategy of "encircling three and one" is very great in siege warfare.

Li Mingde, commander of the First Army Corps of the Ludong Military Region, also adopted this method. He divided the troops into two parts, with about 10,000 troops attacking Cangzhou City in two directions, while the other 20,000 people were arranged in the other two directions by Li Mingde in layers, forming an encirclement network.

When more than 10,000 Fuxing troops attacked Cangzhou City from two directions, they would continue to drive the Ming army deserters in the city to the other two directions into the encirclement network that had been arranged.

There will be a situation where Zhang Yongtao's platoon faces more than 1,000 Ming army deserters, and it is because the encirclement of the Fuxing Army, with a total number of about 20,000 people, is not tight enough for the 60,000 or 70,000 Ming army deserters, so that a small group of deserters can break out of the encirclement and meet Zhang Yongtao's department.

Like most of the battles of the Fuxing Army, the Battle of Cangzhou was not very exciting from a macro perspective. You must know that only when the comparison of the strength of the two sides of the battle is very different under the same combat effectiveness, or when the strength of the two sides of the battle is relatively balanced, those endless strategies and schemes will make the battle process appear wonderful.

The Western colonizers easily slaughtered thousands of blacks and Indians in slave societies and primitive societies, and there was anything wonderful about this kind of fighting? There is nothing to say about such a fight except shamelessness and brutality.

The revival army, which modernized its weaponry and equipment and revolutionized its ideological organization, won an overwhelming victory in the face of a feudal army with a gap in civilization levels.

In a movie called "God is Crazy", a glass bottle can have a huge impact on an African in the primitive social stage, completely subverting his life and concepts. Then the revival army, which is equipped with modern weapons, easily destroyed the heavy city wall that was the last reliance of the Tianxiong army and the Shandong New Army after the three or five artillery pieces easily destroyed the heavy city wall that the Tianxiong Army and the Shandong New Army relied on, and a rout, a great escape, and a great surrender became the final outcome of the Tianxiong Army and the Shandong New Army.

In the face of this desperate rout, as the leaders of the Shandong New Army and the Tianxiong Army, Sun Yuanhua and Lu Xiangsheng behaved very differently.

That's why it's said, "There is a very different difference between a person of faith and a person who does not have faith; There is a difference between people with scientific beliefs and people with non-scientific beliefs; People with religious superstitions are completely different from people with revolutionary ideals. The reason for these words.

As a person of faith, especially as a person who believes in the feudal superstition of Catholicism, Sun Yuanhua behaves the same as all people who believe in religions that propagate the idea of the afterlife, and they will be very numb to accept the tragic reality. Of course, this acceptance of reality is not a materialistic acceptance of the status quo, but a manifestation of anesthetizing oneself with religious dreams to avoid reality.

However, Sun Yuanhua's performance is also very not "heroic" enough. From an ideological point of view, Sun Yuanhua's Confucian beliefs made him need to eat the small pill he had prepared in his sleeve under the creed of "repaying the king's kindness with death". But Sun Yuanhua's Catholic faith told Sun Yuanhua that suicide was to go to hell.

Of course, whether it is because of the fear of death because of "the only death through the ages" that he is afraid of death, or whether it is really because of the conflict of religious beliefs that Sun Yuanhua hesitates, such a thing, only Sun Yuanhua himself knows. Anyway, when the Fuxing Army rushed into the Yamen, which was the headquarters of the Ming Army, Sun Yuanhua accepted the arrest of the Fuxing Army very calmly.

After receiving the detailed battlefield report, Wang Shuhui's views did not take into account any religious factors at all.

In his opinion, the Shandong New Army led by Sun Yuanhua was a relatively pure feudal mercenary army. After the fall of the central government of the Ming Dynasty, Sun Yuanhua, who had lost his authority and status, no longer had the ability to continue to buy the new army in Shandong. After seeing this problem clearly, Sun Yuanhua, who had no strength, naturally chose to surrender in despair.

Lu Xiangsheng was completely different, because Lu Xiangsheng's Tianxiong army was somewhat similar to the family army of the Liaodong warlord group. Most of the officers in the army were Lu Xiangsheng's clansmen. So after most of the army collapsed, Lu Xiangsheng also mastered a certain amount of strength.

It was precisely because of this power that Lu Xiangsheng escaped from the city under the protection of his clansmen.

However, Lu Xiangsheng's fate will not be much better than Sun Yuanhua's. His army of two or three hundred men was blocked by a company of the Revival Army.

After being swept away by the machine gun about two-thirds of the men, Lu Xiangsheng, who faced the machine gun, wanted to draw his sword and commit suicide heroically. But unfortunately, one of the snipers of the Baath Army had already taken a fancy to him.

So before he could draw his sword, he was shot in the thigh and fell off his horse.

In the end, Lu Xiangsheng, like Sun Yuanhua, was captured by the Renaissance Army.
