Chapter 370 in Shandong 5
For the ruling class, the life or death of ordinary people means nothing to them. [No pop-ups] So those elites and self-proclaimed elite doglegs will say, "Since you have no food to eat, why don't you starve to death?" "Don't be an An An starvation, but especially a praying mantis." Coming and going to Chu and Shu was rampant, and there was no way to make soldiers. Yuntun rain and sudden divisions, snakes and pigs rush to hide? Xu Er's soldiers and civilians were tied up and surrendered, and the knight was rewarded for his merits. "Yang Sichang, the governor of the five provinces of the Ministry of War, "Crusade against Zhang Xianzhong". These kinds of inhuman words.
In fact, similar words are not uncommon in modern society. For example, a famous economist with a huge net worth declared:
"In order to achieve the goal of reform, a generation must be sacrificed, and this generation is 30 million old workers. The more than 800 million peasants and laid-off workers are China's enormous wealth, and without their hard work, there would be no enjoyment for a few people, and it is very necessary for them to exist and maintain the current situation. "From Baidu Encyclopedia
This is the same as Yang Sichang's belief that the people who can't eat should accept the fate of starvation and death, and should not rebel. The so-called elites and self-proclaimed elite doglegs, their faces are so crazy and hideous.
The ruling class of the feudal agrarian era always considered itself an elite. "Everything is inferior, only reading is high", this is the most direct manifestation of the ruling class in the feudal agricultural society that considers itself elite.
The line is wrong, the position is wrong, and the more cultured the person, the more reactionary he is. Looking at this sentence from the standpoint of the masses of the people and the working people who are ruled and exploited, there is nothing wrong with this sentence at all.
The intellectual workers of the proletariat and the advocates of vested interests of the privileged strata of the exploiting class are two completely different concepts.
It is true that the vested interests of the ruling class have an ugly and hideous appearance, and as a group with vested interests of the ruling class, they are dependent on the existence of dog-legged gangsters and so on, but in fact their faces are even more ugly and hideous.
Relying on the power of their masters, they become accustomed to lawlessness, and they become fearless. For example, because his father is so-and-so, for example, because his uncle is so-and-so, and then he unscrupulously kills people with strong tips and so on, and so on, there are countless lawless things without a bottom line, not only in modern society, but also everywhere in feudal agricultural society.
Therefore, opposing feudalism and elite rule is of great significance not only in modern society, but also in ancient agricultural society.
The first step in the revolution of the revival party is to revolutionize the lives of these feudal ruling classes who claim to be elites.
From this point of view, it is inevitable that there will be a contradiction between the business organization of the Baath Party in Dengzhou and the lawless management of the Liu family on the ground in Shandong.
Reasoning with the masses of the people, the Baath Party pays attention to propaganda and exhortation as warm as spring in the gentle wind and drizzle and leads by example. For the feudal ruling class, machine guns, cannons and gallows are the tools of the Baath Party and their reasoning.
As soon as the steward of the Liu family shook his majesty two or three times in the room of the Fuxing Trading Company, the soldiers of the Fuxing Army, who had long been impatient, drove the steward of the Liu family and several pro-soldiers sent by Liu Zeqing out of the room with rifle butts and bayonets under the orders of the security cadres.
The Liu family in Cao County is worthy of being a military general's family. The few personal soldiers sent to him by Liu Zeqing, who was the steward of Liu's mansion, also retreated honestly after being directly stabbed to death by the soldiers of the Fuxing Army with bayonets on the spot. Those triangular wounds spurted out lines of blood. The wound caused by the three-edged bayonet really frightened the steward of the Liu family.
When you have been a dog for a long time, you will feel that you have become some kind of character, and you will get carried away that all the truths in the world should be on your side.
The steward of the Liu family in Cao County, named Liu Qi, was born as a scholar of Liu Zeqing. In the era of the Ming Dynasty, when good friends were rampant, this person relied on his unspeakable relationship with Liu Zeqing to become a powerful steward in charge of business and trade in Liu's mansion.
From the perspective of psychology, which is not too reliable, people like Liu Qi belong to the kind of people who are psychologically disabled. Like the physically handicapped eunuchs, such people are actually quite bold, but their self-esteem is in a morbidly strong state.
The Baath Party cadres in the Dengzhou business office thought they were merely driving out a troublemaker who had disrupted the normal business order. But Liu Qi himself felt that he had suffered a great humiliation. According to the strange theory of the feudal ruling class, the dignity of Liu Qi, the manager who betrayed the hue and the top position, is about equal to the face of the Liu family, a big feudal family with considerable influence on the ground in Shandong. Both Liu Qi himself and Liu Zeqing, who received the news, are very consistent in holding such a view.
Liu Zeqing knew that the water of Fuxing Trading Company was relatively deep. Although the news is not very detailed, at least he clearly knows that the representative of the Fuxing Trading Company, the person named Song Xiance, who is very comfortable in the Yamen of the Governor of Denglai, has the title of a member of the Nanjing Rite Department. Although among the six ministries in Nanjing, the Ministry of Rites is the most powerful and idle yamen, but for him, a military attaché, a member of the Ministry of Rites from the fifth grade, in the political structure of the Ming Dynasty, the social status is higher than that of him, a general of Denglai.
Of course, since the erosion of Liaodong, the social status of local military generals with soldiers in their hands has become higher and higher. But Liu Zeqing also knew that just a person who had some connections outside could hang up a noble official title in the Nanjing Ministry of Rites, so it is conceivable how big the power behind the revival trading company is.
Of course, although Liu Zeqing had some scruples about Fuxing Trading Company, he was swept away on the scene, and the personal soldiers he sent were killed on the spot without saying a word, which was too much. What's more, for Liu Zeqing, on the surface, he has to take care of the power of the revival trading company, but in the territory of Shandong, in Dengzhou, his own territory. Liu Zeqing has private means to secretly calculate and revive the trading company.
Fuxing Trading Company was different from the ordinary merchants in Dengzhou City, and their station was on the dock outside Dengzhou Capital, so Liu Zeqing adopted the simplest means of retaliation. He instructed a group of local horse bandits, numbering more than 100 to less than 200 people, under his covert control, to attack and loot the headquarters of the Fuxing Trading Company after the city gates were locked at night and the city was isolated from the outside of the city.
After all, although Fuxing Trading Company has only been in Dengzhou for a month, everyone knows how much money they have earned. Liu Zeqing, a passer-by, had long been jealous of the fact that the Fuxing Trading Company only accepted silver dollars produced by the Baath Party through the Bank, so even in Shandong, local merchants had to go to the Ba'ath Party's banks to exchange silver for silver before they could buy Baath Party goods and the Fuxing Trading Company, which had a large amount of cash for its goods.
Those great families in Jiangnan knew that Fuxing Trading Company was able to export muskets and cannons in large quantities, and this must be because Fuxing Trading Company itself could manufacture muskets and cannons on a large scale. Speaking of those southeastern families who have pirate backgrounds in import and export trade all year round, they are actually ruthless one by one. Killing people and selling goods is a common occurrence for them.
However, they were smart enough to realize that a group like Funaissa Trading Company, which was able to export advanced weapons, must have a strong armed force of its own. For such an organization, they will not target it at will. It's not that they don't want to do it, it's just that they don't dare to do it after assessing their strength.
You must know that the training of the muskets and cannons that they purchased from the Fuxing Trading Company was all done by the Fuxing Trading Company. The four-package policy of "selling and repairing, and teaching and meeting" is a propaganda slogan of the Baath Party's arms exports.
Liu Zeqing, as a general in Dengzhou, felt that he had hundreds of horseback riders and more than 2,000 "soldiers" who had been on the battlefield, so he could be unscrupulous in Shandong.
But the fact is that if the more than 100 horse thieves he sent out, even his so-called "powerful" armed forces of about 3,000 men came to attack the Fuxing Trading Company, and established a comprehensive fortification of the Fuxing Trading Company at the Dengzhou Wharf, consisting of searchlights, wolf dogs, barbed wire, trenches, machine guns and repeating rifles for the Marine Corps, and under the guard of a battalion of 500 Marines of the Fuxing Army, they could not escape a ruin.
We have to say that Liu Ze was relatively lucky in liquidation. The less than 200 horse thieves he sent were attacking the fortifications of the Baath Army, not encountering them in the wilderness. As the active party, after the less than 200 horse thieves were killed on the spot by the soldiers of the Renaissance Army Marines, there were still two people who dragged their lame legs and covered the shoulders of their lost arms to repay Liu Zeqing.
If it weren't for these two loyal horse bandits who died quickly after reporting the situation to Liu Zeqing, Liu Zeqing wouldn't have known what the combat effectiveness of the Fuxing Trading Company was.
In fact, Liu Zeqing, who went to the scene the next day to peep, had not seen that the land on the outskirts of the Fuxing Trading Company was full of blood, and the Baath Party would have cremated all the bodies that night, and he couldn't even believe the words of the two loyal people who he personally planted in the horse bandits.
However, when Liu Zeqing secretly saw the soldiers in uniform lining up to the dock to be on duty, when he saw the barbed wire trench outside the Fuxing Trading Company and the squad of Fuxing Army soldiers patrolling with wolf dogs, Liu Zeqing was secretly happy while sweating coldly.
For him, the death of more than 100 horse bandits is really valuable. Liu Zeqing understood a truth through their deaths.
That is, in the city of Dengzhou, the revival trading company is a force that he cannot provoke
