Chapter 448, a huge stimulus that is not easy to digest

There are quite a few people in the top echelons of the Ba'ath Party who have a tendency to be productive.

In the eyes of these people, all those who pursue technological progress and specialize in science and engineering are very progressive and worthy of unity.

This is why Wang Shuhui likes national heroes like Qin Liangyu and Lu Xiangsheng, and doesn't like doctors like Sun Yuanhua in the late Ming Dynasty, but some people in the top echelons of the Baath Party appreciate Sun Yuanhua much more than Qin and Lu.

Wang Shuhui will not look at historical figures in isolation from the environment in which they live. For him, in the backward environment of feudal society, in the absence of external intervention, everyone is the same on the issue of progress. But at this same level, performing well in terms of ethics and ethics is already the biggest shining point in the objective environment.

What's more, Wang Shuhui has a bit of the national sentiment of modern young people. Compared with people like Sun Yuanhua who have not made achievements in resisting national aggression, Qin Liangyu and Lu Xiangsheng are both heroic figures who objectively resist national aggression and defend national interests.

But having said that, under the current system and rules of the Ba'ath Party, and in terms of the current operating mechanism of the Ba'ath Party, this modern political party organization is fully operating in accordance with the rules and regulations and organizational principles.

In addition to Wang Shuhui, who has a transcendent status and somewhat similar to the status of a revolutionary mentor, has the ability to intervene in the Baath Party beyond organizational constraints and break the system and principles, even if the influence of the indigenous version of the Baath Party in the Baath Party is very huge, they cannot control the military arrangements of the Ba'ath Party, and they cannot impose their ideas and wishes on the relatively independent Ba'ath Army force system.

The army was under the leadership of the Baath Party, not some of the senior cadres of the Baath Party.

Therefore, the top cadres of the Baath Party cannot directly intervene in the military. Similarly, the leaders of the Central Military Commission of the Ba'ath Army are members of the Central Committee of the Ba'ath Party, the highest authority of the Ba'ath Party, and even Tang Yafeng and Gu Guozhang have the high status of the core organs of the Ba'ath Party, such as Politburo Standing Committee and Politburo members, but they cannot use their influence in the military to interfere with any decisions of the Ba'ath Central Committee.

The good thing about the system is that under the system, everyone has to follow the same rules.

It is precisely because of this reason that since Wang Shuhui, as the only person with the ability to directly intervene in all aspects of the work of the Ba'ath Party, did not give special treatment to Lu Xiangsheng, a hero of the late Ming Dynasty that he admired, the indigenous version of the industrial party at the top of the Ba'ath Party could not interfere with the army's handling of Sun Yuanhua.

After being captured by the Baath Party, these two men, along with more than 40,000 prisoners of the Shandong New Army and the Tianxiong Army, were imprisoned by the Ba'ath Army in a newly formed labor camp and began to undergo a five-year labor reform.

It must be admitted that as feudal bureaucrats, Sun Yuanhua and Lu Xiangsheng's personal C guards are really good.

You must know that the Baath Party's prisoner-of-war labor camps have always been carried out at the same time as labor reform and ideological reform. The first step in the ideological transformation of the feudal army is to awaken the class consciousness of the ordinary soldiers of the feudal army and sort out the class contradictions in the feudal army. This first step was the process of class education of the captives.

Like all feudal armies, when the Revival Army carried out class education in the prisoner labor camps, the feudal officers who came from landlord and bureaucratic families were immediately isolated from the feudal soldiers who came from ordinary people.

Under the guidance of the political cadres of the Baxing Army, the people were oppressed by the landlord and bureaucratic class in civilian life, and after entering the army, they were oppressed by the feudal officers.

Under the stimulation and education of revolutionary operas such as "The White-Haired Girl" and "J Screaming in the Middle of the Night", and under the accusations of the feudal soldiers who took the lead in "awakening", one after another grievance meetings, criticism meetings, and trials were quickly organized and carried out. Whether it was those die-hard feudal officers or those feudal officers who tried in vain to hide their identities and escape, they were actively pulled out by the captured soldiers who had their eyes open.

In the end, they were either sent to the high platform of the Criticism Society, or they were sent to the gallows of the Judgment Society.

But I don't know if it's because Sun Yuanhua and Lu Xiangsheng are really so moral, or because the captured soldiers have almost no direct contact with them, or because the captured soldiers still have fear of high-ranking court officials like them in their hearts. Anyway, in the process of exposing and criticizing for about a month, Sun Yuanhua and Lu Xiangsheng really haven't been exposed for any bad deeds.

If Sun Yuanhua and Lu Xiangsheng were arrested in the family seat and in the process of land reform of the Fuxing Army, these two people would have to shed their skin even if they did not die. But because they are in the army, for these two people, the revival army really doesn't have any handle on them.

When he was just arrested, Lu Xiangsheng had not yet accepted his status as a prisoner, and he was making trouble at every turn. Even Lu Xiangsheng tossed around indiscriminately, engaging in some kind of "hunger strike".

However, the Baath Party is not a feudal monarch who cares about the grass, and the Baath Army is not the kind of fool who can only carry out ideological and political work.

Under the Ba'ath system, there was no rule of preferential treatment of prisoners, but the rule of not abusing prisoners was still a basic discipline. However, the Baath Party also has its own special rules, that is, if the captives refuse to undergo reform and education, and refuse to cooperate in the process of re-education and detention, then they are no longer prisoners, but are current enemies.

The Baath Party allowed the use of any means to fight and deal with the existing enemies. It makes sense to do it.

Of course, Lu Xiangsheng did not know the rules and regulations of the Baath Party. Except for the slogans that were everywhere in the prisoner of war camps, such as "Confess leniently, resist strictly" and "Seriously reform and change your mind," no one announced to Lu Xiangsheng the prisoner policy of the Baxing Army.

Lu Xiangsheng still has a feudal literati stand, and always thinks that a scholar like himself is the target of the Baath Party, so he makes a fuss unscrupulously. However, after receiving several confinement punishments in the small black room in the cellar, and after a hunger strike, the soldiers of the Baxing Army pried open their mouths with bamboo pipes and poured corn porridge into them, making their mouths full of blood and losing two front teeth, and finally calmed down quietly.

Sun Yuanhua showed a casual appearance. Let him work, he will work, let him rest, let him eat, let him sleep, he will sleep. After half a month, Sun Yuanhua, who was originally skinny due to huge pressure, has now gained a lot of weight. Even he had the spirit to spread the evil ways of Catholicism to Lu Xiangsheng, who lived in the cell opposite him.

But Sun Yuanhua's calm and composure did not last long.

After being imprisoned for half a month and undergoing half a month of re-education through labor, under the arrangement of the political workers, they successively observed two grievances and criticism meetings inside the labor camp and the land reform struggle meeting against the local tyrants and shoddy gentry in Cangzhou outside the labor camp.

When they were first captured, Sun Yuanhua and Lu Xiangsheng thought that the Baath Party was the kind of local powerful or ill-intentioned local forces of the Ming Dynasty that took advantage of the situation.

They still quite disagree with the statements of the political work cadres that "the Baath Party is a political party that serves the people and is a revolutionary organization that seeks survival, turnover, and happiness for the millions of poor people in the world." They are quite unimpressed, believing that this is nothing more than the rhetoric of those anti-thieves to deceive the people. Lu Xiangsheng also sneered at a group of anti-thieves who pretended to be "revolutionary."

However, I saw with my own eyes the accusations and criticisms of the feudal officers of the Ming Army who had been organized and educated by the Baxing Party under the leadership of the political work cadres of the Fuxing Army, and I heard these small soldiers who were originally mud legs collectively shouting "Down with the feudal landlords!" "Down with the feudal bureaucracy!" and so on; When they saw that the ordinary people in the suburbs of Cangzhou were "instigated" by the Baathistists, they excitedly exposed and criticized the various ugly and vicious deeds of the local gentry, and finally hung the landlords and gentry who were the foundation of the feudal dynasty on the gallows. The two people who were at the scene at the time immediately shivered like chaff, and their faces turned green.

Lu Xiangsheng is a native of Yixing, Zhejiang. Sun Yuanhua is a native of Shanghai in Nanzhili. Both of them were born in Jiangnan families with huge net worth and countless fields. The so-called rabbit dies and the fox is sad, and the thing hurts it. In this way, the huge industry accumulated by their family is actually the same as that of all the big landlords and big bureaucrats, which one does not have a lot of blood and human lives.

Let's talk about Sun Yuanhua, when he was young, he helped his family manage the family business for a period of time. Sun Yuanhua himself knew that the Sun family, who owned huge land in the Shanghai area, had several lives every year just by beating tenants who could not pay their rents. As for the rest of the bastards who robbed the people's daughters and robbed the beautiful children in the family, the lives of the people who got out also accumulated over the ages.

People like Sun Yuanhua and Lu Xiangsheng, of course, are strict with themselves and have a clear bottom line for their morality. They themselves are specialized in learning, enterprising, and upright, but like those women in the back house who were exposed in the land reform and criticism in the Cangzhou area, they killed the maids and girls sent to the inner house by their tenants and domestic slaves at every turn, but there were many things that happened around them.

Not to mention others, Lu Xiangsheng once personally experienced that his wife used the girl around him to tease him that he couldn't concentrate on his studies as an excuse, and beat his cousin to his maid for beating the board, and finally died of illness in the firewood room.

In detail, don't look at people like Sun Yuanhua and Lu Xiangsheng, who seem to have noble morals, but they really take the lives of those ordinary people as a matter before they try it. As members of the feudal ruling class, they believed that people like themselves were born superior to others, and the grass people should naturally accept the management and education of people like themselves.

But what do the common people think of them? What do they really look like in the eyes of ordinary people? What kind of emotions does the psychology of the common people have for them? They didn't really think about it at all.

They felt that the people were the sheep and that they were the shepherds. The sheep should be shepherded by the shepherds. They think they are their parents and the people are their children. As a child, you can only accept the arrangement of your parents obediently.

However, now, when they became prisoners of the Baath Party, after they observed the grievance meeting and criticism meeting of the Ming soldiers and the people of Cangzhou, they put themselves in their shoes and thought about it, in the face of those passionate questions and scolding, could they really say anything reasonable in front of the people?

Sun Yuanhua and Lu Xiangsheng have a very good cultural foundation, so after they entered the labor camp, their performance in cultural learning was still relatively good.

The instructors in the camps were all temporarily drawn from the Reconstruction Army. Because they are responsible for the political and cultural education of the soldiers in the army, they have all developed habits in the army, and they will appreciate those soldiers who have high understanding and good learning. In this way, in the prisoner of war camp, students like Sun Yuanhua and Lu Xiangsheng, who learned quickly, attracted the attention of their instructors.

Lu Xiangsheng and Sun Yuanhua, senior scholars and doctors with meritorious reputations, originally did not pay attention to the "little official" of the revival army who was in charge of them. However, after a period of contact, they were really impressed by the fact that this "petty official" in their eyes had actually passed the junior high school proficiency test and was preparing to be admitted to the Baath Party's senior non-commissioned officer school.

Perhaps in terms of literature, writing, poetry, and etiquette, this instructor is not as good as the two. But in mathematics, physics, chemistry and biology, the instructor who completed his junior high school education was intellectually crushing the two. Even people like Lu Xiangsheng, who did not have a deep understanding of natural science, admired the mathematical knowledge of this instructor.

Especially in the discussion of "simplified characters" and "vernacular Chinese", Lu Xiangsheng also had to admit that "words are used to disseminate knowledge, and education is to be effectively popularized." Therefore, the advantage of simplified Chinese and vernacular is that it can make education accessible to all people to the greatest extent. Simplified Chinese and vernacular are easy to master, which makes it easy for those who do not have sufficient educational resources to be self-taught. Words like that, there is really a bit of a taste of the culture that is accessible and transparent.

In the process of contact with the instructors, they heard that he was born as an exile and began to study after joining the Ba'ath Army, and after completing his current studies in five years, and after hearing that the Baath Party was engaged in compulsory education systems such as universal education, professional education, and lifelong education, on the one hand, the two did not believe in such things, but on the other hand, deep down they felt that the Baath Party was a bit of a saint.

However, their understanding of this completely changed after observing the criticism and grievance meeting. In their opinion, what the instructor said to them about "seeking liberation and happiness for the poor brothers of the world" was really not a lie. It was just that the Baathistists wanted to send all the feudal scholar class to the gallows, and to achieve this goal by sacrificing the entire feudal landlord class by a bloody and demonic means.

And judging from what they saw, judging from the enthusiasm and excitement of the Ming prisoners and the people of Cangzhou, it is very likely that this method of the Baath Party can really achieve their goal.

It was only at this time that Lu Xiangsheng and Sun Yuanhua figured out what their instructor, a young man in his early twenties, said, "It is not that our Baath Party wants revolution, but that the revolution is already hidden among countless exploited and oppressed people." We, the Ba'ath Party, are only leading the people who want revolution to make a revolution together. What does it mean?

It was just one night, and the soldiers of the Renaissance Army who were in charge of guarding this cell found that Sun Yuanhua and Lu Xiangsheng, who were originally emotionally stable, seemed to have changed all of a sudden.

Lu Xiangsheng turned white overnight, and Sun Yuanhua suddenly became the same as when he was first arrested.

They seem to have figured out something, and they don't seem to have figured it out. Anyway, the two of them suddenly became depressed and numb.
