Chapter 126: The Calm That Should Be and The Calm That Shouldn't Be 7
86_86695After a few days of visiting and inspecting the Fuxing Society, the mental journey of Gu Junen, Song Xiance and Niu Jinxing can be described as ups and downs.
At the beginning, when they were fully exposed to Wang Shuhui and the ideological program of the Fuxing Society, they also believed that Wang Shuhui was a scholar who was familiar with poetry and books, led a hundred schools, and had the great academic ambition of "integrating a hundred schools of thought into one".
When they visited the various production departments of the Fuxing Society, and saw the agricultural and industrial sectors with perfect water conservancy facilities, huge production scales, and specialized production methods, they also believed that Wang Shuhui was the kind of big tycoon and chaebol who was proficient in the "way of law and ink" and "the ability of Tao Zhu" and was good at gathering and operating.
But in the end, when they saw that thousands of people were wearing uniform uniforms, using advanced weapons, and training endlessly every day, they showed that they were the revival army troops with an unbelievable combat level in the eyes of those who were scholars, they all "groaned" in their hearts, and unanimously believed that Wang Shuhui was going to expose the rebellion.
Although I don't know why Wang Shuhui, as the son-in-law of the county king and the guest of honor of the county lord, would engage in this kind of rebellion, smashing his own pot and smashing his own bowl, it seems incomprehensible. But they also knew that they had accidentally gotten on the thief ship.
When the Fuxing Society took their families to Wangfu Town and settled them, they all felt a sense of despair that they were "forced to be thieves".
Speaking of which, these feelings of theirs are also very normal.
You must know that although these three people later joined Li Zicheng's rebel forces. However, they are not born with a rebellious spirit.
As members of the landlord class and as feudal scholars, if they had not seen the terminally ill and precarious situation of the Ming Dynasty and the rising momentum of Li Zicheng's rebel army sweeping through the Central Plains, they would not have been able to join the tide of peasant rebellion a few years later.
For the three of them, the reason why they joined the rebel forces was the embodiment of the ancient scholars' values of "good birds choose trees to perch on".
Now Gu Junen, Song Xiance and Niu Jinxing, who are now twenty-four years old, have not yet seen the true nature of the Ming Dynasty. Before coming to Wangfu Town, they were still studying poetry and books, in order to participate in the imperial examination of the Ming Dynasty, and to achieve the fame of the Ming Dynasty. Suddenly, they were coerced by the rebel forces, and they were quite uncomfortable.
When people encounter a conflict of understanding, they tend to make a withdrawn, idealistic move. For Gu Junen, Song Xiance and Niu Jinxing, as soon as they arrived in Wangfu Town, they encountered a conflict of understanding.
On the one hand, they rationally believed that Wang Shuhui and the Revival Society were already ready to rebel. On the other hand, they are unwilling to believe this reality from the bottom of their hearts, and they are constantly looking for signs that Wang Shuhui has no intention of rebellion. Under their intentions, they really found a lot.
First of all, the feudal royal clan and the scholars who have reached the hundred schools of thought, this is a conflict of understanding. In their opinion, Wang Shuhui, the son-in-law of a vassal king, must be the kind of local tyrant who eats, drinks and has fun, has a lot of money, and has a fat brain. In order to mix up a prominent identity, he will be the son-in-law of the vassal king without any ambition.
In fact, this perception is not bad at all. According to the laws and regulations of the Ming Dynasty, whether it is a princess or a guest of honor at all levels, once they obtain this status, they cannot participate in politics.
Generally speaking, whoever has more money and who gives more bribes to the big eunuchs in the palace can become the colt and guest of honor. There will be no one who wants to mix up that false glory with the aspiring and capable readers.
Secondly, Gu Junen, Song Xiance and Niu Jinxing, who are familiar with history books, know very well what the rebellion is all about.
According to historical samples and examples, the rebels are most proficient in destruction, coercion, and wandering. Wang Shuhui and the Fuxing Association, on the other hand, did not incite the people to rise up at all, but paid great attention to construction, order and territory.
Many factories, farms, huge numbers of workers, agricultural workers, soldiers. The Renaissance Society provides all-round care and education to all people, including the refugees and refugees who have been continuously absorbed.
This is not like the behavior of the rebels, but it smacks of government behavior.
Moreover, as far as they can see, it is only a procedural and institutionalized purification, resettlement, education, and training for the displaced refugees who are constantly being absorbed; The Revival Society alone will invest in clothing and food for each displaced person, and the Revival Society will invest at least five taels of silver in each person. This is the price of buying a yellow flower girl in the prosperous place of Jiangnan.
What's more, Gu Junen, Song Xiance and Niu Jinxing also specially audited the courses of night schools and training schools held by various departments under the Revival Association. They found that there was not a single part of these courses that called for an uprising. On the contrary, the focus of the course is mainly on the basic content of literacy, arithmetic and geometry, as well as the professional training of various professions working in various departments.
Even in the most intense ideological and political courses, what the Fuxing Society teaches you is the basic knowledge in "The Law of the Unification of All Things" and "The Uniformity of All Ages". The content used is also mainly focused on the various universally recognized examples of the basic knowledge in these two books. However, in the interpretation of these canonical examples, the education department of the Revival Society is completely from the perspective of "materialism" of what Guò calls "seeking truth from facts".
Even in the internal cadre training courses of the Reconstruction Association, the main content is the land policy of "reviving well fields and public ownership of land" (state-owned land system); the guiding ideology of "The Unification of All Things" and "The Uniformity of All Ages" (dialectical materialism and historical materialism); Xunzi's "etiquette" and "law" ideas of "honoring the virtuous and king, valuing the law, loving the people and tyranny" are the mainstay.
If we look at it unilaterally from an academic point of view, rather than from the perspective of the interests of the feudal landlord class, the ideology of the Revival Society is basically "the words of the sages" and "the canon of the sages".
All kinds of cognitive conflicts have made Gu Junen, Song Xiance and Niu Jinxing, who have a deeper and deeper understanding of Wang Shuhui and the Fuxing Society, more and more confused.
Wang Shuhui formed a well-organized and well-organized organization like the Fuxing Society, and raised thousands of armed forces that used the most advanced weapons and were extremely well-trained, but whether the purpose was to rebel or not became a big doubt for the three of them.
With this kind of doubt, Gu Junen, Song Xiance, and Niu Jinxing met Wang Shuhui after the enlarged meeting, participated in the first battalion of the revival army and the experience summary meeting, and carried out the rectification of the training and drill of the whole army according to the experience summary of the first battalion.
Gu Junen, Song Xiance and Niu Jinxing, who met Wang Shuhui for the first time, found that Wang Shuhui's appearance was not at all the appearance of the "eagle-eyed wolf Gu" and "gloomy and gloomy" conspirators they imagined.
Wang Shuhui was tall and muscular, meticulously dressed, wearing the same uniform as a cadre of the Yiqiē Revival Society, and wearing a simple gauze hat on his head.
Wang Shuhui, who is tall and vigorous, with a faint smile on his face, gives them a sense of gentleness with poetry and books.
As literati, they can feel the temperament of Wang Shuhui as a scholar. However, this kind of temperament can be harmoniously combined with Wang Shuhui's martial arts aura that is forbidden by gestures, which makes them feel uncomfortable.
For Wang Shuhui, even with the experience of time travel, there are still only two modes of getting along with modern and ancient people, such as teacher and student, student and teacher.
In the modern world, he was a student for decades and then a teacher for several years. Traveling back to ancient society, his relationship with people remains unchanged. In addition to the family relationship with Zhu Youzi's father and daughter, his relationship with the members of the Revival Society is still that of teacher and student.
In more fashionable terms, Wang Shuhui is actually a bit of an interpersonal incompetence. To describe Wang Shuhui in more ordinary words, don't look at him often participating in outdoor camping and other activities, but in essence, he is still a study otaku. However, in the two years since he discovered the space-time gate, he has become a bit of a doer.
Because there are too many things, the work is too complicated, and the pressure is too great, Wang Shuhui usually always frowns and thinks about things. It was still because he had to meet several Ming Dynasty scholars for the first time that he recruited him, so he took the initiative to change his attitude and consciously showed a certain gentle temperament.
As soon as he relaxed like this, the nerdy temperament of his college teacher naturally revealed a little. It was this kind of nerdy spirit of a university teacher that made Gu Junen, Song Xiance and Niu Jinxing feel a little bit of intimacy when they met the same kind.
However, a guy like Wang Shuhui, who is incompetent in interpersonal relationships, no matter how much he changes the environment, he will not become able to play Tai Chi with others and be polite. Therefore, what he said was still the kind of stunned, which made the ancient people feel very domineering, or at best, very domineering.
"I asked the three of them to come, and I didn't mean anything else. I'm not very good at dealing with people in the official face, and the three of them are all orthodox scholars in the Ming Dynasty, so I just want the three of them to play the identity of orthodox readers and help us to revive the society and deal with people in the official face. ”
looked at Wang Shuhui, who seemed to be much younger than himself, and he didn't have any polite words or comforting words, so he directly expressed his intention to solicit. Gu Junen, Song Xiance, and Niu Jinxing all felt a little uncomfortable.
Originally, they thought that a would-be rebel like Wang Shuhui would definitely show an attitude of looking at the thatched house and being a corporal of Lixian to recruit them. Wang Shuhui's straightforwardness and domineering attitude made these three people feel very uncomfortable. I didn't know how to answer Wang Shuhui's words for a while.
Wang Shuhui saw that the three of them were a little stunned and at a loss, and realized that these three people were not his students and members of the Revival Association. Their relationship with the Revival Society is not the relationship between job seekers in modern society and the personnel department of the recruiting unit.
Thinking of this, Wang Shuhui immediately adjusted his attitude, deliberately showed some cordiality on his face, and then took the initiative to change the topic and asked the three people: "The three gentlemen have been visiting the Revival Society during this time, and they have worked hard for everyone. The gentlemen also learned about the ideas of our Revival Society. What do you think about our revival meeting, can you talk about it? ”
"Of course, there are opinions, you Wang Dayibin privately armed and formed an army, no matter what your old man thinks, anyway, these things you do can already be regarded as a rebellion."
Although Gu Junen, Song Xiance and Niu Jinxing all thought so in their hearts, they could not say this so directly, whether it was from Wang Shuhui's identity as a vassal royal clan or Wang Shuhui's identity as a quasi-rebel.
Moreover, the three of them have also vaguely felt that even if Wang Shuhui is a rebel, he is definitely not a rebel in the traditional sense.
Therefore, after the three of them pondered for a while, Niu Jinxing, who was the most mature in handling interpersonal relationships, replied first: "Lord Yibin's revival will be strong and strong, and it has the majestic momentum of 'later Jin became a German army' in the history books. ”
It's not good to deal with ancient readers. Ancient scholars also spoke with the flavor of Spring and Autumn penmanship. When it comes to talking, it never goes straight to the point, it always smells like a pir.
Niu Jinxing said this, if it weren't for Wang Shuhui being a history lover and reading more fully, he would really understand it. Even an educator of humanities like Wang Shuhui thought for a while to figure out what Niu Jinxing meant.
Later Jin refers to the Later Jin Dynasty of Emperor Shi Jingjiao. Shi Jingjiao's Zhenzhou (now Zhengding, Hebei) became the envoy of the German army, called An Chongrong. This An Chongrong is more famous in history because of two things.
The first thing is that as Shi Jingjiao's subordinate, he is the only one who raised troops to rebel after Shi Jingjiao surrendered to the Khitan.
The second thing is because An Chongrong witnessed the fact that Emperor Li Congke and Jin Gaozu Shi Jingjiao relied on soldiers to practice the throne, and faced the turbulent situation of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms era, he once said to others: "Son of Heaven, those who are strong in soldiers and strong horses should do it, and they would rather have a kind of yes!" words.
Niu Jinxing said that the Renaissance Army has the majestic momentum of becoming a German army later, which is alluding to Wang Shuhui, who is the commander of the Renaissance Army, very much like the Chengde Army with heavy troops. He vaguely asked Wang Shuhui if he was also like An Chongrong, thinking that "the Son of Heaven, those who are strong in soldiers and horses should do it, and they would rather have a kind of yes!" ”。
In other words, Niu Jinxing was asking Wang Shuhui if he had the intention of rebelling.
Wang Shuhui quickly figured out what Niu Jinxing meant.
However, because he felt extremely uncomfortable with this way of turning around in the words of ancient scholars. As a result, he became more uncomfortable with his expression. His brow furrowed unconsciously, and the kind expression on his face was gone.
Wang Shuhui's expression, in the eyes of Gu Junen and the others, is an embarrassing expression of a careerist's dark mind being exposed.
They all know that if Wang Shuhui is really a big careerist, then what they are facing below is either Wang Shuhui's order and a large number of knives and axes breaking in, or Wang Shuhui laughing and saying something like "why does Mr. teach me" and other solicitations
