Chapter 485, Qin XIV and "Worship of the Great Emperor"
Before the American father occupied the Japanese country and forcibly modernized the Japanese country, if you were to write a book called "The Misfortunes of Mankind" and rank the misfortunes of mankind, the item "Entrusting the Birth of Japanese People" would definitely be at the top.
In the era of industrial civilization as a whole, the feudal system is a very common social system. This decadent, backward, dark, and brutal system has fully demonstrated its reactionary nature in various countries, but in the country of the Japanese state, the reactionary nature of the feudal system has been particularly serious.
If it is said that the ability of the Chinese people to resist pressure is already very strong, and our ancestors will only set off a comprehensive explosion of destruction of the feudal regime every two to three hundred years, our old ancestors will definitely feel amazed if they know how tolerant the people of the same era are.
The land income distribution system of the Seven Princes and Three Citizens (maintaining a high rent of about seven floors for a long time) was stuffed with a bamboo pole (bamboo gun) as cannon fodder by each person at every turn, and was driven to the battlefield ("village warfare" at various levels throughout the history of the Wa Kingdom), and the landlords (samurai) in order to test their own force or test whether their sabers were sharp enough, they could casually pick a common man to try their arm strength or the sharpness of their swords, etc., etc., all kinds of terrible, unbelievable cruelty and horror, It is a long-term and common phenomenon in the country of Wa.
If the same thing had happened in China, our ancestors would have set off all sorts of uprisings that could easily destroy the feudal regime. But this is what happened in the Wa Kingdom, and the people of the Wa Kingdom endured it silently for hundreds of years and thousands of years.
There are always people who say that the Chinese are servile, and there are always people who mention the non-resistance of the Chinese. But even when the Chinese people endure exploitation and oppression, they are to a large extent engaged in a kind of passive resistance. Even if many people who have a rational understanding of human society know that the inferiority of a certain country or a certain nation is a very unreliable theory, the saying that the Japanese people as a nation and the nation itself has serious inferior roots will always make those who have a rational understanding of human society can't help but have some irrational identification because of various realities in history.
Even in China, a country that regards great unification as the basic model, the feudal system itself, because of the feudal land ownership system that binds and binds people, and because cultural knowledge is monopolized by the feudal landlord class as a resource, the concept of the country and the nation of the Chinese under the feudal system is still very weak.
Because of the characteristics of the feudal land ownership system and the lack of popularization of cultural knowledge in the feudal agricultural society, it is difficult for the masses of the people, who can only take their vital interests as the criterion for judging, from the perspective of the state and the nation.
It is precisely because of this reason, coupled with the foreign rule with national oppression and national exploitation as the core, that in the last years of the Qing Dynasty, the phenomenon of the Eight-Nation Alliance, as the aggressor, would objectively receive help from the Chinese people.
For the Chinese people at that time, in addition to the life experience of generations and grandchildren, they have accumulated, "whoever becomes the emperor has to pay the imperial grain and national tax", "whoever becomes the emperor has nothing to do with me" and so on. The Manchu regime itself, which claimed to be a national nation, took the initiative to isolate the Manchu nation from the Chinese nation, regarded the Qing Dynasty and China as two completely different things, and believed that the fate of the two was not one and the same.
It is precisely for this reason that when the Japanese fascist invaders invaded China, they felt that they had embarked on the old path of the Manchu Qing Dynasty and that it was a very reasonable strategy to adopt the policy of "Greater East Asia Co-prosperity" for foreigners to govern China.
In fact, because China did not begin to shake off the shadow of feudalism until after the founding of New China, and under the leadership of the revolutionary party, the Chinese people established a sense of state and nationality through comprehensive education, so the so-called "Greater East Asia Co-prosperity" deception adopted by the Japanese fascist invaders at that time actually played a quite effective effect in the whole of China.
The existence of the puppet army from the feudal warlords, the surrender of Wang Daguanren, one of the skinhead leaders from the Tong Meng Society, and the bald man's policy of "settling inside before the outside" are all normal reflections made by the feudal rulers under the feudal system in the face of external invasions.
Therefore, when the people of Henan helped the invaders to defeat their own army under the ****** situation, there was no need for future generations to feel how absurd and incomprehensible it was.
If you think about it, if you become a slave who has died in the country, you can still survive, so it is a very unreasonable choice to serve the declining feudal regime and then die. The Japanese fascist invaders want to levy the imperial grain national tax, and the feudal skinheads who have received the tax decades later will also levy the imperial grain national tax, anyway, they all have to accept the fate of being exploited and oppressed, who is the ruler above, and what is the difference for the common people?
Under the feudal system, the performance of the Chinese people seemed to later generations to be ignorant, then also under the rule of the feudal system, and in a more barbaric, cruel, and serious manner with the characteristics of typical feudal lords (China's feudal system is a feudal system of power under the great unification system, and the landlord class does not have feudal privileges until it obtains official positions through the imperial examination system. However, the feudal system of the Wa Kingdom is the kind of feudal system in the typical sense that the old man Ma said, and the big names of all over the country have the names of the landlords, and at the same time, they are actually feudal and separating) Under the feudal system, the performance of the people of the Wa Kingdom will only make future generations feel more incredible.
After all, for the Japanese people, the "Black Ship Incident" that brought the light of civilization to the Japanese will not happen until more than 200 years later. And as far as the current situation is concerned, there is a 99% chance that the Black Ship Incident will not happen in this time and space.
The current squad leader of the Chung Hwa Loyal Battalion, Shijuro, was originally a low-level samurai of the Satsuma Domain. The joke, which has been widely spread since the Edo period, said, "In addition to the quilt and pot, the little samurai's house also has a large stone, because when he feels cold, he can lift the stone to keep warm." It can be said that it is a true portrayal of the low-level samurai Shishiro of the Satsuma Domain.
As a retainer of the Shimazu family, a retainer, a retainer, a retainer of the retainer family, a retainer of the retainer family, the life of the little samurai Shijuro is very dilapidated. Shishiro, who has only about a dozen acres of land at home, lives a life that is no better than that of ordinary homesteaders. Onigiri is never full. In many cases, Shishiro had to survive the famine from the sea, just like the lowly peasants.
You know, in this Xiaoice era with serious natural disasters, even the Chinese self-cultivators whose agricultural cultivation technology has reached its peak in the agricultural era cannot survive, then in the backward agricultural cultivation technology, the land and natural environment are even worse, and the Satsuma Domain, which is also famous for poverty and barrenness in the entire country, if it were not for an ancestral katana, the yellow-skinned Shishiro in tattered clothes and thin muscles would not look much like a completely off-duty samurai who made a living from military work.
In the backward feudal agrarian society, the existential crisis is a terrible sword hanging over everyone's head. For Shishiro, how to survive is really a very serious problem. But because of the so-called "samurai spirit", Shishiro, who is completely out of production, still wields a thick wooden stick and lifts stones every day, on the one hand, to ensure the warmth of his body, and on the other hand, he continues to hone his martial arts.
However, Shijuro's life changed dramatically at the end of 4312 and 1633.
One day at that time, Shisaro, who had just finished discussing how to prevent the invasion of the Chinese from his own family's house, had a full meal of rice balls, and was about to continue honing his martial arts, and when he returned home, he witnessed the castle of the Shimazu family, the "king" of the Satsuma Domain, being bombarded into a blank field by a sudden "thunderstorm".
After that, under the organization of the surviving head of the family, Shijuro personally participated in the hellish battle that was more like a slaughter.
Countless (in fact, there were no more than 2,000 at most) of Ashigaru, led by the samurai, desperately rushed to the beachhead defensive position of the Celestial Army's "expensive" barbed wire, and then turned into minced flesh under the chain of fire accompanied by a crisp clicking sound.
When more than half of the troops were turned into pieces of flesh on the beach, there was no more head of the house, and Shishiro, who had completely become a ronin, knelt tremblingly on the sand covered with blood and flesh along with the rest of the people.
Although three or four years have passed, Shishiro still feels extremely terrified when he thinks back to the events of that year. Now he is completely incomprehensible that he and his former partners will have the idea of confronting the Chinese kingdom. In terms of the "national language" he learned, it can only be explained by "the ignorant are fearless" or "the grasshopper shakes the tree".
The kingdom of China is indeed terrifying, and the Chinese adults are indeed as cruel as the Great Demon King, but the Chinese kingdom and the Chinese adults, like the Great Bodhisattva, are extremely merciful to all the "naturalized people". Shishiro learned a passage in the Zhonghua Loyal Battalion, which allowed him to understand this opposition in reality very well, that is, "Treat comrades as warm as spring, work as hot as summer, mistakes as autumn wind sweeping away leaves, and enemies as cruel and ruthless as winter." ”
Shishiro personally feels very lucky to be able to quickly pass the three assessments of political, cultural and professional qualities, obtain the identity of the Chinese Loyal and Brave Army, and thus become a comrade of the Chinese people, and even have the opportunity to become a member of the Chinese kingdom. Because starting from his actual experience, becoming an enemy of the Chinese kingdom and the Chinese adults is definitely an unimaginably terrifying end that is even more terrible than hell.
After passing serious and arduous study and training, he became a soldier of the Chinese Loyal and Brave Battalion and was given the name Qin 14, and Shishilang felt that he was really living in real happiness. Because since joining the China Loyalty and Courage Battalion, Qin Shiv, who has been reborn, is no longer an inferior barbarian, but from an inferior barbarian, he has become a noble soldier of His Majesty the Chinese Emperor who is even greater than the gods and Buddhas of the heavens, and countless times more sacred than the pseudo-emperor.
Under the glorious light of His Majesty the Holy Emperor of China, all the mud-legged people of the original Satsuma Domain lived a happy life of "three princes and seven people, dividing the land equally".
Under the glorious light of His Majesty the Holy Emperor of China, all the soldiers of the Chinese Loyal and Brave Battalion who have become naturalized people have lived four meals a day, and at each meal they can eat unscrupulously all-you-can-eat rice balls and steamed buns, they can eat exquisite meat and fruits at every meal, and they can get eggs, duck eggs, candy and snacks at every meal, and they can live a real aristocratic life of drinking tea like a minister every day.
It is precisely because of this kind of respect and love from the bottom of his heart that Qin 14 has been going to the auditorium set up in the camp every day to hang pictures (photos) of His Majesty the Great Emperor of China set up in the camp, and to pay homage to His Majesty the Great Emperor of China with great gratitude.
Under his leadership, first Qin 14's squad, then the platoon, then the company, then the battalion, then the entire third battalion (regiment) of Zhongyong, and finally the entire six Zhongyong battalions, all began to pay homage to His Majesty the Emperor of China every day as a fixed ritual.
The political workers of the Ba'ath Party found that compared with the real reasoning, the discipline and knowledge embellished with such language as "His Majesty's Divine Decree of the Emperor", "His Majesty the Emperor Said", and "His Majesty the Emperor's Instructions" did not need to be explained and explained cumbersomely.
Inertia is something that everyone has. When the political cadres of the Baath Party on the island of Kyushu discovered this characteristic of the Japanese people, they began not only to acquiesce, but also to actively promote a very fanatical idolatry among the Chinese Loyal Army under the guise of His Majesty the Emperor of the Chinese Empire.
With the Liberation War and the Agrarian Revolution on the entire island of Kyushu, with the emergence of a large number of Chinese Loyal Warriors composed of naturalized Japanese soldiers due to the relative overpopulation due to the rational planning of land and population, and because in later days, these Chinese Loyal and Brave Army soldiers composed of naturalized Japanese soldiers participated extensively in the military and political operations of the Chinese Empire in the Nanyang region and the Indian region, and even formed a peculiar local landscape of the four eastern provinces and the twelve southern provinces of China in the next few hundred years.
That is, in the four eastern provinces and the twelve southern provinces of China in the future, there will be the largest and most dense temples of the Great Emperor of China in China.
These beautiful temples with a strong Tang style will become one of the most famous tourist attractions in China in the future.
