Chapter 162: Revolution Is Not a Dinner 2

86_86695 "Whoever is on the side of the toiling masses is a revolutionary." Whoever is on the side of the feudal landlord class is a reactionary. ”

"Whoever is only on the side of the toiling masses in words and the other in deeds is a verbal revolutionary,"

"If he is not on the side of the toiling masses not only in words but also in deeds, he is a complete revolutionary."

"All the members of the Revival Society must be completely revolutionary!"

"The mission of our Revival Society is to lead the toiling masses and completely defeat the reactionaries!"

-- 1622, Wang Shuhui, "The Land Policy of the Revival Society is the Agrarian Revolution"

The county seat of Songzi in 1622 A.D. looked dilapidated.

It's not that the walls of Songzi County are mottled and dilapidated. From the outside, the city walls of Songzi County are in good condition. However, the empty streets, the listless, thin, and tattered city guards guarding the city gates, gave Gu Junen such a feeling.

Two soldiers like leper dogs, trying to get some extra money by the side of the carriage. However, they were soon cornered with a bayonet by a Baath soldier and had two rifle butts on their heads.

The soldiers of the Renaissance Army already have a very strong sense of military honor. This is directly related to their long-term training, constant study, uninterrupted help to the masses, and the establishment of the concept of the people's soldiers.

They already regard themselves as very important, and think that they are an important force to save the poor people in the world. After coming into contact with the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty several times, the soldiers of the Fuxing Society were very disdainful of the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty. Think they don't deserve to be called soldiers at all. The soldiers of the Revival Society generally believed that their existence was an insult to the noble status of the soldiers.

Gu Junen shook his head lightly when he saw this scene outside the car. As a scholar of the Ming Dynasty, Gu Junen must have some disapproval of Wang Shuhui's practice of conducting military and political affairs first, and conducting militarized training and management of the members of the Yiqiē Revival Society.

However, in the Revival Army, even the lowest-ranking private is also familiar with history. They can write and count, love to learn, and love to read. This made it difficult for Gu Junen to say that the Renaissance Army was a group of vulgar martial artists.

In Gu Junen's heart, he regarded Wang Shuhui as a figure who implemented Qin politics.

In order to allow Gu Junen to better receive a profound education, and in order to let the gentry have a correct understanding of Gu Junen, Wang Shuhui specially arranged Gu Junen's pomp. The delicate four-wheeled carriage and a neat platoon of soldiers are Gu Junen's pomp.

In the streets of Songzi County, not a single pedestrian can be seen now. This is because all the victims who fled to the county seat for evacuation were recruited by the Reconstruction Association. Therefore, Songzi County is a "white land is really clean". In a small county town with a total population of only 30,000 or 40,000, more than half of the people have left. In a disaster year, the county will inevitably be such a depressed scene.

Originally, this scenario was not a big deal. However, in about a month, the Revival Society built a new city, built five large farms, and arranged nearly 20,000 victims in an orderly manner. Then I saw that Songzi County, which represented the rule of the Ming Dynasty over Songzi County, was in a depression. Gu Junen also unconsciously had the feeling of "destiny is not in Daming" in his heart.

After wasting half a day's strength and asking several people, Gu Junen and his entourage found out the location of the Wu family's mansion. After handing Wang Shuhui's post to an arrogant porter, Gu Junen and his party began a long wait.

Gu Junen was mentally prepared for the cold reception he was about to receive. He did not put himself in the position of Wang Shuhui's staff now, but regarded himself as a lobbyist in the early autumn and Warring States period. In fact, deep in his heart, he had a strong hope to help the landlords and gentry in Songzi County to avoid a catastrophe. Guide them to the right path of exchanging land for capital and equipment and developing industry and commerce.

I stayed at the revival for less than a year. Gu Junen has become accustomed to the fast-paced life of the Fuxing Society.

In the Revival Society, no matter what the problem is, no matter what the thing is. As soon as a sentence is spoken, what is going on in this matter, there will be a corresponding person to answer immediately. What to do with this problem, there are corresponding people to solve it immediately. Regardless of whether this person's answer is right or wrong, whether this matter is resolved well or not, the cadres of the Revival Society, at least the speed at which they work, is very fast.

Gu Junen was initially a little unaccustomed to the fast pace of industrialization of the Fuxing Society. However, after staying in the revival meeting for less than a year, Gu Junen became quite impatient with the landlords and gentry's kind of drying, giving the horse a false frame and slow pace.

In Gu Junen's heart, he felt that he was here to save the lives of these landlords and gentry. These landlords and gentry are really eyeless.

I took a look at the clock in the carriage (the highest industrial achievement of the Revival Society is this mechanical clock the size of a modern wall clock, which has an error of more than ten minutes every day. Don't look at the staggering error, but after all, it's mass production. I've been waiting for an hour and a half in vain. The door of the Wu family is still closed, and it does not move.

Just when Gu Junen was about to negotiate with the arrogant concierge again, a small side door next to the Wu family's gate opened. A little man in a green coat and a small hat with his nostrils facing the sky strode over and said to Gu Junen: "My master said, for the sake of Mr. Gu's sake, please let Mr. Gu enter the mansion to see him." These rough guys are waiting outside. ”

Hearing this, Gu Junen looked at the row of Renaissance Army soldiers standing in a neat queue by the carriage. He found that everyone did not react to the slave's insult.

In fact, on the one hand, these soldiers don't understand what this little guy is saying. On the other hand, in the hearts of these warriors, they sincerely despise the doglegs of the landlord on this road. The soldiers of the Baxing Army basically participated in the task of "clearing out bandits, eliminating landlords, and establishing base villages." For this road of dog legs, basically everyone has killed a few. The ugliness of them when they were sent to the gallows by the masses, the fighters had seen too much.

When Gu Junen walked into the Wu family's mansion, he knew that the Wu family was definitely the most typical family in the current Ming Dynasty and was called the most reactionary "bureaucratic landlord" by the Fuxing Society.

Gu Junen remembered that Wang Shuhui once said in the revival meeting, "These bureaucratic landlords have a stone head, and they firmly believe that the greatest interests in the world are their own interests, and the greatest truth in the world is their truth." As long as it is contrary to their interests, they will not hesitate to jump up and bite like mad dogs. ”

Therefore, when he saw the Wufu building with carved beams and paintings and a strict system, Gu Junen felt very unoptimistic about the results of this trip.

Sure enough, as soon as they arrived at the main hall, before the two sides could greet each other, an old man with a fat figure and a satin dress asked in a mocking tone: "Why, that Wang Dagui can't hold on?" Hehe, I knew that that wronged boss was not easy to do. Hahaha! ”

When Gu Junen heard this, he didn't know how to answer. He felt that Wang Shuhui had put the butcher's knife on the necks of these gentry. He came to save their lives. But this old man felt that Wang Shuhui couldn't hold on anymore, so he sent himself to bow to them. The gap in understanding between the two sides is really very different.

Seeing Gu Junen's surprised expression, Wu Chaozong was very relieved. This month. He ordered his family members and the officials of the county seat to rush all the victims who had come to the county seat to avoid the disaster to Wang Shuhui. He is waiting for Wang Shuhui to come to beg for mercy, and he is ready to take advantage of the disaster year to make a good profit on the head of Wang Shuhui, a big-headed ghost, to make a good amount of money for high-priced grain!

"Mr. Wu is afraid that he has misunderstood. I didn't come here for Lord Wang, but for the lives of the gentry of Songzi County. ”

Gu Junen ignored Wu Chaozong's faux pas, sat down directly on a chair, and then said to Wu Chaozong calmly.

"Haha, Wang Shuhui is really an unreliable yellow-mouthed child, and he sent a scholar like you who hasn't faded his hair to the old man as a lobbyist! You really think you are Zhang Yi and Su Qin. "Wu Chaozong inherited the family business of his ancestors, but he did not inherit the IQ of his ancestors. His grandfather Wu Wending was able to write and martial arts, he did not inherit Wu Wending's literary knowledge, but he inherited his grandfather's Qiu Ba's temper to the fullest.

Gu Junen sighed in his heart, feeling desperate for Wu Chaozong. He decided not to engage in some futile verbal battle with this vulgar stick. Gu Junen said to Wu Chaozong: "Mr. Wu hid in the city in the year of the catastrophe. I'm afraid I don't know that the land of the Wu family outside the city has been occupied by Lord Wang, right? ”

"What did you say!" Wu Chaozong, like the landlord of Yiqiē, when he heard that his land had been seized, his first reaction was like the feeling of being kicked by someone. That's a kind of "chicken flying egg beating" egg pain.

After Gu Junen saw Wu Chaozong's reaction, he said to him seriously: "Lord Wang now has three thousand elite soldiers under him. For the elite of the soldiers under Lord Wang, Mr. Wu has the deepest feelings. After all, when Lord Wang was collecting refugees, Mr. Wu had already sent his family to fight with Lord Wang's soldiers. ”

Speaking of which, Wu Chaozong really has a very intuitive feeling about the elite of the Revival Army. But on the city wall, he witnessed with his own eyes how he and the more than 400 elite families organized by the seven landlords were completely crushed by the platoon of guns fired by forty or fifty renaissance troops at an unbelievable distance.

However, Gu Junen's words not only did not make Wu Chaozong realize the danger of his situation, but instead aroused his annoyance and anger as the grandson of the secretary of the military department and the first big landlord of Songzi's armed forces. After all, his family's appearance in that conflict deeply made him lose an unprecedented face in front of the Songzi gentry.

The anger of the land occupation and the humiliation of being insulted by others severely lowered Wu Chaozong's already low IQ. He immediately ordered left and right, and immediately drove Gu Junen, who was talking to him about exchanging land for capital, land for equipment, and engaging in industrial and commercial money-making strategies, and immediately drove him out with a stick.

Sitting in the carriage, looking at a large group of elite families in the Wu Mansion, they were pointed at by a platoon of soldiers of the Renaissance Army and fled into the mansion with rifles. Gu Junen's heart was full of frustration.

He didn't know whether to fail for his eloquence or to despair of the fate of all the gentry under heaven. Because he knew that, at least in the land of Songzi, the gentry were about to be exterminated
