There is an old Chinese saying that it is easier to die before it is harder. [No pop-ups]

The allegorical Chinese language has different analyses of the same words. For example, some people think that this sentence can be understood as an easy thing to die, but it is very difficult to live strong and sustain it. Of course, there are some people who think that this sentence can be understood to mean that as human beings who will eventually die, when we see our own kind die in front of our eyes, the huge psychological Y shadow caused by death will always be over the living people.

As a long-lasting civilization system, the mature and stable Chinese civilization has a clear moral core. Although a clear morality is not attainable for everyone, the universal recognition of common values is still continuous and stable.

For example, traitors and Han J have existed throughout Chinese history, even into modern society. Everyone knows that being a Han J, especially being the kind of Han J who is valued by foreign and foreign masters, is something that can obtain great benefits.

Quite a few people, especially the so-called elites, both ancient and modern, are at the heart of their hearts for the sake of their own personal and group interests, and they do not hesitate to trample on all the morality of the world. However, under the common value system, they just want to be Han J, they are really Han J, and they will also work hard to do something to put gold on their faces and mentally anesthetize themselves.

It's easy to die first, then it's hard to die. A civilization like China, which attaches great importance to the summary of historical data and has a great concern for the significance of history, will be clearly recorded in the history books and will be reviled and criticized by later generations once a figure like Han J appears.

"Qingshan is fortunate to bury the bones of loyalty, and the white iron innocently casts the minister." The kneeling statue of Qin Hui on the shore of the West Lake symbolizes the majestic historical judgment. This has led to the fact that anyone who becomes a Han J and does something that betrays the interests of the nation and the country will be tortured by conscience.

In later generations, there is a couplet that describes Zu Dashou, the leader of the Liaodong warlord group in the late Ming Dynasty, "A generation of famous generals, according to the outside of the customs and inside the customs, can be called reciprocating loyalty; The two dynasties are two ministers, disobedient to the former master, negative to the latter master, and are really not human inside and out. ”

During the period of the Manchu Dynasty, when cultural oppression and civilization castration were unscrupulous, and Chinese civilization regressed to a state of barbarism and ignorance, Zu Dashou, who made great contributions to the entry of the Manchu Qing Dynasty into the customs and opening up of the country, was evaluated in this way.

As a later generation, of course, you can smoke cigarettes, drink tea, and ridicule and scold Han J characters such as Zu Dashou Wu Sangui in the chats and discussions after tea and dinner, but we also have to admit that being Han J is not necessarily the best choice in their hearts at that time.

No one doesn't like to be in power, and no one doesn't like to be in the territory they control. For the leaders of the warlord groups that will inevitably appear in the last days of the dynasty, what they hope most is of course that they can take advantage of the situation and become the figures who will seize the supreme power of the new dynasty like Zhao Kuangyin and Li Yuan.

Of course, such a thing as becoming the founding emperor, even in the era of feudal agriculture when the productive forces were backward, it was necessary to rely entirely on outstanding individuals to sensitively seize rare opportunities to achieve.

We have to say that, judging from the historical record, if the feudal monarchs were afraid of the local powerful warlords and often appeased them, the Ming Dynasty was more respectful to Zu Dashou.

According to historical records, because Zu Dashou was not very real in Liaodong, and was full of fake and shoddy military exploits, the central government of the Ming Dynasty gave the Zu family great respect.

With the rapid rise of Zu Dashou's status, the Zu family was awarded official positions. Zu Dashou's brothers Zu Dale, Zu Dacheng, Zu Dabi, and his nephews Zu Zeyuan, Zu Zepei, Zu Zesheng, Zu Zefa, Zu Zerun, Zu Kefa, etc., are all officers at all levels, from the general army to the deputy generals, staff generals, and guerrillas, and are stationed in Ningyuan, Dalinghe (now Linghai City, Liaoning), and Zhucheng in Jinzhou. Even Zu Dashou's brother-in-law Wu Xiang and Zu Dashou's nephew Wu Sangui were able to rise rapidly in the Liaodong warlord group through his light.

In order to commend the merits of the ancestral generation of Zhenliao, after Emperor Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty ascended the throne, he also issued a special order to build the merit archway of the fourth Zhenliao of the Zu family in Ningyuan City.

Later, Zu Dashou, who became Han J, did not really have any intention of becoming Han J from the bottom of his heart. On the one hand, under the significant gap in the level of civilization, whether from the cultural or economic aspects, the Houjin Jurchens, who were in the state of slave tribal alliance, were very barbaric and backward barbarians in the eyes of Zu Dashou, who fully enjoyed the wealth and honor given to them by the Ming Dynasty.

From the bottom of his heart, people like Zu Dashou really can't look down on these guys like Houjin Jurchen. In particular, the relationship between Wild Boar Pi, the founder of the Later Jin Jurchen regime, and Li Chengliang, the founder of the Liaodong Jiangmen Group, is very profound. The very wise and martial wild boar skin that was smeared by the Han J literati of later generations was originally a slave under Li Chengliang. The wild boar skin of the "wise and martial" was subjugated at Li Chengliang's feet like a beast at that time.

In this case, how could a person like Zu Dashou who was born in a family of Liaodong Jiangmen look down on the Houjin Jurchen regime who was once a slave of the Liaodong Jiangmen family?

In addition to problems with self-esteem. The combat power of the Houjin Jurchen was of course a major factor in Zu Dashou's later becoming Han J. But in fact, the more obvious the combat effectiveness of the Later Jin Jurchen, that is, the national barbarism of the backward slave tribes, the more people like Zu Dashou will not easily surrender to the Later Jin and become Han J.

You must know that the wild boar skin, who was a slave of Li Chengliang for a long time when he was young, was very seriously psychologically damaged in his adolescence, like Hitler. The experience of this period of time has made the psychological state of the wild boar skin always in a state of distortion and deformity.

Just as Hitler's genocide of the Jews was influenced by his psychological deformity, during the reign of Wild Boar Skin, the bloody massacre of the Han people in Liaodong by the wild boar skin, who had completely fallen into a state of madness, actually pushed the Liaodong Jiangmen clique to the opposite side of the real power of the Later Jin women.

It can be seen everywhere, and it has almost become a common practice to slaughter the city, and the Han family in Liaodong will be wiped out at every turn, how can Zu Dashou, whose family was born in the Liaodong region, easily surrender to the Houjin Jurchen? From the perspective of his personal life safety, after surrendering, Jin Jurchen became the Han J who was labeled in history, and it was definitely the last choice under Huang Taiji's full persuasion and a completely desperate state.

Wang Shuhui likes to conduct qualitative analysis of historical figures rather than psychological analysis. For him, Han figures such as Zu Dashou and Wu Sangui are actually the same as the civilian-bureaucratic groups such as the Donglin Party, which seem to be great and upright, and are still very capable of bluffing people in modern society, and they are all vested interests in the feudal ruling class of the feudal dynasty.

All groups with vested interests are the most corrupt, degenerate, and reactionary malignant forces under China's feudal system of power. As long as the soil of feudalism is not completely cleared, reactionary and degenerate vested interests will always exist.

This is why at the end of the Qing Dynasty, there was a "Qing Ji Company" that specialized in buying and selling officials; There are four major families in the Republic of China that make bald heads helplessly say the "theory of the death of the party and the country" (borrowing the content of the movie, anti-corruption and the party, not anti-corruption and the country); In modern China, there are reasons for the continuous emergence of reactionaries who rely on plundering the state and the people and selling out the interests of the state and the nation.

From this point of view, Wang Shuhui will not carefully consider why Zu Dashou and Wu Sangui became Han J. He will also not analyze what the real inner world of Han J such as Zu Dashou and Wu Sangui is like.

As far as he is concerned, not to mention the most decadent, backward, and reactionary vested interest groups, even those hard-boiled literati doctors in the feudal landlord class who have really achieved "repaying the favor of the monarch with death" and are really loyal to the feudal dynasty, are also the targets that the Baath Party must be completely eliminated in the process of revolution and construction.

Therefore, whether it is Wang Shuhui or the Baath Party, they have long marked the heads of the Liaodong warlords with a clear enemy label. With regard to the enemy, the Baath Party, of course, has an attitude like the autumn wind sweeping away the leaves. This is why the Ludong Second Army of the Baxing Party, which landed in the Qinhuangdao area and was stationed in the Yongping area, ignored the temptations of Zu Dashou and other Liaodong warlord groups and did not care at all.

If it weren't for the imminent start of the Beijing Campaign, the Second Fleet of the Fuxing Navy, which is currently stationed in the Bohai Bay, would have landed on the shores of the Bohai Sea and used marine units to completely wipe out the 350,000 troops of the Liaodong warlord group entrenched in several fortresses in the western Liaoning corridor area.

In the last years of the Ming Dynasty, only by truly understanding the "elite" of the Ming Dynasty of the Baath Party can we understand what kind of force the Baath Party really is, and how desperate the Baath Party is for them, the feudal ruling class.

Doing business with the Fuxing Trading Company, dealing with the so-called Ming officials controlled by the Ba'ath Party, such as the actual Zhang Hong, such as Yao Zongwen, who had already died in the prisoner of war camp, and the non-existent official documents of the Ba'ath Party, the extremely concealed Baath Party is a very confusing existence for the "elites" of this era.

After all, in their eyes, these institutions and forces controlled by the Baath Party often do such incredible "strange" things as reining in the displaced people and treating the people well.

The Liaodong warlord clique is not a purely military force. The Liaodong warlord clique, which actually occupied the vast land of Liaodong and controlled the trade power between Liaodong and various regions, was a local force that integrated warlords, landlords, and monopoly merchants.

Ever since the Baath Party took control of the Denglai area, the Liaodong warlord clique has begun to intersect with the Baath Party. Of course, just like the big landlords and big businessmen in the Jiangnan area who had bureaucratic backgrounds, they happily and enthusiastically engaged in various aspects such as the timber business and the medicinal herb business, and purchased a large number of fabrics, silk, garments, medicines, canned food, cigarettes, glass, and other industrial manufactured products from the Fuxing Trading Company.

However, after seeing the three or four thousand tons of Fuxing Trading Company's all-steam-powered transport ships with multiple "giant cannons" (in fact, only 120 mm caliber) on them, and seeing the Fuxing Trading Company's "family members" (marines soldiers) who escorted the goods easily tore to pieces the bandits who were actually hundreds of people who tried to snatch the goods with rifles and machine guns, and the Liaodong warlords also knew that the background of the Fuxing Trading Company was unfathomable and could not be easily offended.

Mr. Lu Xun once said in "Diary of a Madman", "The fierce heart of a lion, the cowardice of a rabbit, and the cunning of a fox,...... I want to eat people, but I am afraid of being eaten by others, so I look at each other with very suspicious eyes. ……”

Such a relationship was between vested interest groups within the feudal ruling class. Because the Liaodong warlord group has a clear heart of self-reliance, the Liaodong warlord group immediately developed a huge fear of Fuxing Trading Company after discovering the powerful force behind Fuxing Trading Company. They want to eat people, and of course they will be afraid of being eaten by others.

But great benefits are always at hand. Trading the goods procured from the Fuxing Trading Company with the Later Jin Jurchens and the Mongol tribes would make the Liaodong warlord group reap huge benefits.

For example, the various iron pots and iron stoves produced by the Baath Party were the favorite commodities of the Later Jin Jurchens and the Mongol tribes. An iron pot, a honeycomb coal stove and a few pieces of honeycomb coal could be exchanged for one or even several war horses from the Mongols.

Even after selling iron pots and honeycomb coal stoves, the Liaodong warlords purchased honeycomb coal from the southern Liaoning base area from the Fuxing Trading Company, and when the second-tier dealers sold it in large quantities to the Mongols, they were able to make a lot of money.

As for the tea bricks and various canned vegetables and fruits produced by the Baath Party, they are high-quality goods that the Mongolian nobles did not hesitate to purchase with gold and silver.

What excited the Liaodong warlords the most was that because the Baath Party had already built several woolen textile factories in the Ludong and southern Liaoning base areas, the Fuxing Trading Company also allowed the Liaodong warlord group to exchange the wool they received from the Mongol ministries for almost free wool in exchange for industrial products produced by the Baath Party.

It can be said that after the Baath Party gained a foothold in the Denglai area, the Liaodong warlord group made a lot of money just by trading with the Fuxing Trading Company, and they were so beautiful that snot bubbles were about to come out.

However, the leaders of the Liaodong warlord clique did not think about why the Baath Party sold them everything, even all kinds of high-quality cold weapons could be wholesaled to them at very cheap wholesale prices, but the Baath Party never did the most basic grain business with them.

It was only about two years before the food crisis and inflation broke out in eastern Liaoning.

By the end of 1631, after the fall of the Jingshi and the establishment of Dashun reached the Western Liaoning Corridor, the food supply from the Tianjin area was completely cut off. The current Liaodong warlord clique is in a state of serious turmoil within itself.

At the beginning of 1632, a large amount of silver in the hands of the Liaodong warlord clique began to flow at an extremely rapid rate to the branch of the People's Bank of Baath Party, which was temporarily stationed at the Yongping military base.

Because of the severe food crisis, but also because the Baath Party is currently the only organization in North China that controls a large amount of food supplies, but also because of the Baath Party's monetary system. The Liaodong warlord clique had to accept two "exploits" from the Baath Party's banks (currency exchange) and the Fuxing Trading Company, and to buy outrageously expensive rations from the Baath Party.

In order to maintain the troops, the family assets of the Liaodong warlord group were generally reduced by more than half. Even so, the Baath Party tightly controlled the food supply of the Liaodong warlord clique. Liaodong soldiers, with less than 50,000 men, are currently able to receive food rations for about two to three days at most.

In April 1632, the Dolgon forces of the Later Jin Jurchen regime suddenly launched an attack on the Daling River region. Only two or three days after the battle began, the military rations of the Zu Dashou Department stationed in Daling River were completely cut off.

At this point, Zu Dashou, who had long been supplied because of the fall of the Ming Dynasty and endured the cruel "exploitation" of the Fuxing Trading Company in "pain", finally came to make a choice.
