Chapter 170: Revival Society's Foreign Aid 2
86_86695 "Anyone who uses Chinese characters as writing is our compatriot. As the advanced representative of the Han nation, we must undertake the task of bringing all compatriots to the road of industrialization! β
"Help our fellow man, unite our fellow man, educate our fellow man. This is the national mission of our Revival Society! β
-- 1621, Wang Shuhui, "The National Mission of the Revival Society"
In fact, for Wang Shuhui, many of the so-called ethnic minorities in modern society are essentially Han Chinese living in remote and backward areas, just like the Hakka people.
Although they are different from most Han Chinese people in terms of language and customs, it is because the language is determined by the environment, and the customs are adapted to the local conditions. However, as long as Chinese characters are used as scripts, they should be Han Chinese.
Therefore, one of the major premises of Wang Shuhui's ethnic policy for the Renaissance Society is that anyone who uses Chinese characters as writing is a compatriot of the Han nationality.
Let's take the stone pillar toast as an example. In fact, the Shizhu people, who were later called Tujia people, were originally Han people who moved from other places during the Han Dynasty. Because of the need to adapt to the local environment and the lack of communication with the outside world, the people in the Shizhu area have different living habits from their compatriots outside.
In terms of language differences, this is actually quite understandable. It is in the territory of Huguang, and the language of Hunan people and Hubei people is different. The languages are also different between the states and counties in the Huguang region. In many areas where transportation is backward and the environment is closed, there is a clear language gap between the two neighboring villages.
Moreover, as far as the people in the Shizhu area and the Baath Army soldiers themselves are concerned, there is no ethnic difference between them.
Qin Liangyu's son Ma Xianglin is in his early twenties this year. Although he is strong and tall, he has a baby face and looks very young. Although Ma Xianglin's age is not very old, his face also looks naΓ―ve. However, he had already fought with his mother and the Qing soldiers several times.
In the first year of the Apocalypse (1621), Qin Liangyu led 3,000 white pole soldiers to Liaodong to participate in the war. Ma Xianglin was responsible for guarding the Shanhaiguan. In the bloody battle of the Hunhe River, he was shot in one eye by a stray arrow of the Qing soldiers. But he pulled out the cluster of arrows and continued to fight. And in the case of severe injuries, he launched an attack on the Qing soldiers and repelled the attacking Qing soldiers.
Although Ma Xianglin came from a family of military generals, and his father and mother were also famous generals, he did not have the arrogance and unenterprising habits of his disciples when he was young. Ma Xianglin's interest in the very different revival associations is very great. He often pestered the soldiers of the Baath Army to ask this and that, and learned a lot of new knowledge from the soldiers of the Baath Army.
Unlike his mother, Qin Liangyu, Ma Xianglin was very envious of the weapons of the soldiers of the Renaissance Army, and he was eager to use rifles in his own troops. From the perspective of maintenance and supply capabilities, Wang Shuhui specially asked the arsenal to produce 500 brown bass rifles and sent them to Ma Xianglin, and ordered the Fuxing Changjiang Fleet Marine Corps, which was responsible for the transportation and safety of supplies between Shizhu and Zhijiang, to train Ma Xianglin's 500 soldiers.
Ma Xianglin's troops, which used the tactics of a phalanx of guns, shone in the process of quelling the rebellion with Qin Liangyu. Whether it is the Sichuan army or the chaotic army, they all know that Qin Liangyu's son Ma Xianglin has a powerful musketeer under his command.
It is precisely for this reason that unlike Qin Liangyu, who is very grateful and appreciative of Wang Shuhui because of the revival will help build people's livelihood in the Shizhu area, Ma Xianglin admires Wang Shuhui from the bottom of his heart, just like Zhuge Kongming, who knows everything and knows everything.
As a commander, Ma Xianglin even made it clear in his letter that he wanted to apprentice to Wang Shuhui.
Wang Shuhui said in the letter that he could accept Ma Xianglin as a disciple, and at the same time sent him a lot of military books (simple strategy books and various training manuals). I have seen Wang Shuhui's various masterpieces (he thinks it was written by Wang Shuhui. The members of the Revival Society also believed that all the documents and materials of the Revival Society were the works of Wang Shizun), and Ma Xianglin's admiration for Wang Shuhui became even stronger.
"Brother Lu, does the teacher have a letter to me?"
After Ma Xianglin greeted Lu Yue, he did not rush to see what new things had been transported on the big ship of the Revival Society this time, but anxiously asked Lu Yue for Wang Shuhui's letter to him.
(The Fuxing Society sold a large amount of various goods to the local people and the Shizhu Tusi Yamen at factory prices in the Shizhu area, in order to recover a large amount of currency put by the Fuxing Society in the Shizhu area.) After all, the Fuxing Society collects local grain, medicinal materials, and wages to local workers, all of which are used in silver and steel coins. Only by ensuring that these currencies can buy genuine goods can the credit of the Fuxinghui currency be guaranteed on the one hand, and the silver and copper coins in the hands of the Shizhu Tusi Yamen and the local people on the other hand. οΌ
In Ma Xianglin's eyes, Wang Shuhui, who is not much older than himself, is not only a master of military law, but also a master of strategy. Based on the materials of later generations, Wang Shuhui provided a lot of analysis and inference for Qin Liangyu and Ma Xianglin. Both their mother and son admired Wang Shuhui's "knowing things like gods".
Wang Shuhui also gave a special reminder to the "pig teammates" that may appear in the warlords and civilian groups in the Ming Dynasty, and also reminded their mother and son. It is these reminders that made Qin Liangyu's two elder brothers and Ma Xianglin's two uncles narrowly avoid a catastrophe (the traverser must have changed history. In this time and space, because of Wang Shuhui's reminder, neither Qin Bangping nor Qin Minping were killed by the "pig teammates" of the Ming Dynasty).
However, as the Extravagant Rebellion was gradually pacified, Wang Shuhui's guidance to Qin Liangyu's mother and son began to become less and less. In the letter brought by Lu Yue this time, Wang Shuhui only reminded Qin Liangyu's mother and son to pay attention to safety, and gave them the mother and son and several generals of the Qin family, twenty sets of stainless steel plate armor.
This time, the Renaissance Society has brought in more supplies than ever before. Because according to historical records, the Sichuan Rebellion of Extravagant Chongming will soon be quelled by Qin Liangyu.
In order to allow the white pole soldiers to better complete their tasks. The revival brought five tons of portable grain bricks; 5,000 special guns for white pole soldiers; 5,000 rattan canvas helmets; two thousand light steel cuirasses for soldiers; The Fuxing Society Arsenal produced 3,000 wooden-handled grenades (because the raw materials needed for the production of local grenades in Shizhu could only rely on the Fuxing Society, so the output of the local grenade factories has not been able to rise). There are also corresponding medicines and supplies to support the combat needs of 5,000 white pole soldiers.
After Ma Xianglin finished reading Wang Shuhui's letter to himself, he led Lu Yue to see his mother Qin Liangyu.
Regarding his friendship with Wang Shuhui, Qin Liangyu originally had some scruples in his heart. After all, this old man, who is nearly half a hundred years old, although he is a military general, has a relatively deep understanding of the imperial court system and officialdom rules.
However, although Qin Liangyu looked a little strange in Qin Liangyu, she also understood that every move of the Revival Society was to help the people in the Shizhu area with all sincerity. From her own observation of the Revival Society's every move, she did not see any manifestations of the Revival Society that were unfavorable to the stone pillars.
Wang Shuhui's act of giving Ma Xianglin a large amount of advanced ordnance and helping Ma Xianglin train soldiers once made Qin Liangyu very vigilant. However, when she learned that the Fuxing Society instilled the concept of protecting the family and defending the country to the soldiers in Ma Xianglin's army, and taught the soldiers to read and arithmetic, Qin Liangyu was completely relieved.
In her heart, Wang Shuhui is a talented and extraordinary, wealthy family member, who admires and respects her very much. This is all she knows about Wang Shuhui.
After responding to Wang Shuhui's greetings that Lu Yue conveyed to him, Qin Liangyu began to look through Wang Shuhui's letter to her. After reading Wang Shuhui's letter, Qin Liangyu was shocked by Wang Shuhui's huge handwriting. On the other hand, he deeply believed that Wang Shuhui expressed in his letter that no fraternal troops could be trusted, that all of them were "pig teammates", and that he insisted on taking me as the main principle and strictly guarding against the indiscriminate command of civilian officials.
After writing a simple reply, Qin Liangyu called Lu Yue, who was waiting in the side hall, and said to him: "Your Yibin said that this time you sent a team of 500 people to fight with the old man. However, in the letter, he said to the old body, "Your family is different from the old white pole soldiers, and you must fight independently." What's going on at this point, you can tell me. β
Qin Liangyu was already familiar with the etiquette of the Fuxing Society, so she didn't feel any discomfort with Lu Yuexing's military salute. Speaking of which, this point really made the people of Shizhu Toast adapt for a long time.
Lu Yue said to Qin Liangyu after saluting her: "Report to General Qin, the Jiading team is different from the white pole soldiers, our army is an all-firearms unit that uses rifles and cannons to fight, whether it is communication or combat methods, it is completely different from the white pole soldiers. This point is already evident in the musketeers commanded by the horses. It is for this reason that the troops can accept the command of General Qin, but in the course of the operation, they cannot cooperate with other troops, and can only undertake independent combat missions. β
When Ma Xianglin heard that 500 soldiers trained by his teacher were accompanying him to fight this time, he was very excited. In his opinion, the 500 musketeers under his command were nothing more than a great strength under the training of the Revival Society for a few months. He is very much looking forward to the appearance of the Zhengpai Renaissance Army on the battlefield.
In fact, in Qin Liangyu's opinion, a team of five hundred people is very insignificant. Qin Liangyu has been commanding thousands of troops and horses for many years. For such a small army, she did not pay attention to it.
But Qin Liangyu also has his own concerns, a small son-in-law of the county king, actually made a move is thousands of weapons, although Wang Shuhui has explained in the letter that these things were bought by the Westerners in Jiangnan, but this is also obviously a taboo.
What's more, although the number of five hundred soldiers is not much, it is okay for a small son-in-law of the county prince to be proficient in military affairs, but such a blatant training of soldiers is too bold.
For a while, Qin Liangyu groaned
