Chapter 46: The Prototype of the Struggle Model 2

86_86695Wang Shuhui has always felt that the great man's exposition of war is the absolute truth.

"War is a bloody war, and a bloodless war." His macro understanding of war is from an ideological perspective. In his opinion, war is a concrete manifestation of an ideological conflict.

However, his views on specific military struggles are quite formulaic. He believes that the form of military struggle, whether under the conditions of cold weapons or hot weapons, is a very mechanical and objective process.

Enemy reconnaissance, battlefield setting, long-range strikes, melee killing, treatment of the wounded, epidemic prevention and clearance, and summing up experience. In his view, all military struggles, specific to campaigns, basically follow this "seven-step" basic procedure. Even our party's army, which has a plug-in, is no exception.

He firmly believes that the outcome of both sides is determined by external environmental factors. The victory or defeat of a military struggle is comprehensively determined by the two basic, concrete and objective factors, the training level and the weapons level of both sides of the battle, as well as the ideological and cognitive level of the troops on both sides of the battle, which is a subjective factor and the three decisive factors, subjective and objective.

Therefore, Wang Shuhui felt that although the Ming army was defeated by the Manchu army, the huge difference between the two sides in the process of civilization made people feel that this result was very stunned. However, if we look at the military strength of the Ming and Qing dynasties from the perspective of specific army building, the defeat of the Ming Dynasty army is a matter of course.

The army of the Ming Dynasty was not without the ability to defeat, or even exterminate the barbarians in the north. Historically, whether it was the Hongwu and Yongle eras in the early Ming Dynasty, or the Zhengde and Jiajing eras in the middle and late Ming Dynasty. The professional army of the Ming Dynasty, which had full training, fought all kinds of barbarians all over the ground in foreign wars.

The best example that can prove that the Ming Dynasty itself did not lack the ability to win military victories is the Qi family army led by Qi Jiguang. They started with a group of farmers and miners, and under the strict training of Qi Jiguang, they first exterminated the Japanese invaders, then pacified the Tatars, and then moved to the north and south of China.

Qi Jiguang's fate can just answer the fundamental reason why the Ming Dynasty army had low combat effectiveness in the last years of the Ming Dynasty. Just like the civilian bureaucracy is bent on bringing down Qi Jiguang. In order to maintain its absolute political status, the bureaucracy at the end of the Ming Dynasty not only wantonly suppressed the military attaches in the military system, but also created a social opinion in the whole society that "those who follow the literature are noble, and those who follow the military are inferior."

In an environment where the bureaucracy controlled the state apparatus, the armed forces of the Ming Dynasty were not only in an extremely low state of social status, but the bureaucracy was even more aggressively embezzled and plundered the limited expenditures of the Ming army. The famous unspoken rule of "drifting" in the officialdom of the Ming Dynasty was that in the military struggle against the Later Jin Dynasty in the late Ming Dynasty, it was at a disadvantage, and it was always strictly enforced by bureaucrats at all levels.

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, the soldiers of the national army, under the plunder of the bureaucracy and the greed of the generals, could not eat enough and did not shelter from the cold. They are constantly in a situation where they are struggling on the edge of the line of survival. Not to mention daily training, in non-war time, they also had to act as serfs for the officers of the guard.

It is normal for a soldier in this state of survival to collapse at the touch of a button when facing the enemy.

And the Manchu armed forces, because of the low civilization of the Manchu barbarians and the backwardness of the institutional system, they naturally did not have formal military training. But the barbarian peoples, who have not yet been civilized, and are still in the stage of drinking blood, have not yet exhausted their animal instincts. With their natural savagery, it is also normal for them to be able to achieve victory in a war with the Ming Dynasty army, which was on the verge of survival.

It can be said that in the war between the army at the end of the Ming Dynasty and the Later Jin, the gap between the civilizations of the two sides was infinitely weakened in the plundering and destruction of the interest groups of the Ming Dynasty.

To put it bluntly, the military struggle between the two sides is actually a worse process. And the army of the Ming Dynasty, under the destruction of the vested interests, that is, the civilian bureaucracy, their strength was worse than that of the barbarians with fur and horns.

This truth can be confirmed in the fact that Qin Liangyu's Baipole Army and Lu Xiangsheng's Tianxiong Army, two armed forces with only a small amount of military training, were able to shine in the dark military struggle in the late Ming Dynasty.

Sufficient material supply, scientific and strict training, rational management system, advanced weapons and equipment.

Wang Shuhui's more than 100 full-time servants and more than 200 militia auxiliary forces were the most powerful and advanced armed forces in the entire Asian region in this era.

If you put the flintlock mini-rifled rifles and 12-pounder howitzers that use fire caps, they are equipped with Wang Shuhui's armed forces. They are the most powerful armed forces in this era, in the whole world.

The most important thing is that this is not the obscenity of the military house. Wang Shuhui, who has a golden finger that travels through time and space, can do this.

He was ready to equip his future army with mini rifles and 12-pounder howitzers after establishing a rudimentary, industrial revolution-era industrial base at the end of the Ming Dynasty. The prerequisite for achieving this goal was that Wang Shuhui had to rely on his own strength to establish an eighteenth-century industry in China at the end of the Ming Dynasty.

He felt that at the end of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, Zhang Zhidong was able to establish a modern iron and steel complex such as the Hanyang Iron Works in Hubei, and he should also be able to do it at the end of the Ming Dynasty. Zhang Zhidong relies on unreliable foreigners, but Wang Shuhui can rely on the completely reliable, the world's largest industrial power in the 21st century, as his own foreign aid.

However, in Wang Shuhui's eyes, military struggle is a simple and mechanical process. However, the political struggle is a complex process fraught with difficulties. Wang Shuhui was able to establish a modern level of military power in the late Ming Dynasty and defeat all kinds of enemies.

However, in terms of politics, how can we win the people to their side in the society of the late Ming Dynasty, where Confucianism, which has been completely corrupted and degenerated, as a universal value? That's the biggest problem he has to face.

However, fortunately, as a time-traveler, history has provided him with a clear answer. In the struggle against the feudal bureaucracy, Wang Shuhui decided to sacrifice the magic weapon of the agrarian revolution.

Ma Songhua, a typical local tyrant and inferior gentry in Zhijiang County, is as intimate as sending a pillow to Wang Shuhui who wants to sleep. When Wang Shuhui needed to carry out theoretical practice in reality, like a wild boar jumping into a trap, he sent himself to Wang Shuhui.

After easily swallowing Ma Songhua three times before and after, and sending the meat belly to Wang Shuhui's mouth, Wang Shuhui began to arrange it carefully. He wanted to use the captured and barely able captives in Wangfu Town to carry out the preliminary realization. That's why the captives knelt on the platform of the schoolyard.

Growing up in the industrial era, Wang Shuhui never realized that hatred between people can be so deep and intense. He simply distributed the evidence of Ma Songhua's guilt collected from the Zhijiang area to the instructors and gave them simple training. The situation after that was completely unexpected by Wang Shuhui.

The members of the entire Wangfu Town, whether it was most of the people from the Shanshan Wanderers, or the few people recruited from all over the country and the hunters and fishermen of the former Jiangbei Village, their outright hatred for Ma Songhua and Ma Songhua's doglegs really surprised Wang Shuhui.

There is no need for Wang Shuhui's guidance and propaganda at all, it seems that these people from the bottom of society have a natural understanding that the local tyrants and inferior gentry are the root of evil.

With just a few simple explanations and explanations, these poor people in the last years of the Ming Dynasty can clearly understand what class hatred is. They can clearly realize that their own misery is entirely caused by the plundering and exploitation of them by the local tyrants and inferior gentry.

These displaced and poor people at the bottom of the society quickly linked their past misery with the reality of Ma Songhua's attack on Wangfu Town.

At the mobilization meeting, Zhang Dali's words were very representative. He said to a member of the same team around him, "In the past, it was the landlords in Shaanxi who exploited me, oppressed me, and wanted my life. Now, I am finally living a good life under Shizun, and Ma Songhua, a local tyrant and inferior gentleman in Zhijiang, is going to kill me again. The crows in the world are as black as the crows, and the local tyrants and inferior gentry in the world are all family. If we poor brothers don't rely on our master, we won't be able to survive anywhere. ”

Although Wang Shuhui was a little dissatisfied with Zhang Dali's understanding of the limitations of his belief that only by following Wang Shizun could he live. But for his understanding that "the world is as black as a crow, and the local tyrants and inferior gentry in the world are a family", he is very appreciative. Wang Shuhui read this sentence twice, and felt that it was catchy and rhymed, and he couldn't help but have the impression of poetry among the people.

Under this clear class consciousness and the threat of real interests, the members of the entire Wangfu Town have sublimated their understanding of the contradiction between Wang Shuhui and Ma Songhua.

In the past, their opinion on Ma Songhua himself and Ma Songhua's attack on Wangfu Town was that Ma Songhua had offended Lord Wang, and they had to die for Lord Wang after eating Lord Wang's food. They felt that the contradiction between Wang Shuhui and Ma Songhua had nothing to do with them. After the mobilization meeting, their views were fundamentally changed.

They realized that Ma Songhua did not have an enmity with Master Wang, but with the entire Wangfu Town, all the members of the poor people. Ma Songhua, the local tyrant and inferior gentry in Zhijiang County, like other local tyrants and inferior gentry, just doesn't want to let poor people like them live a good life. In order to give them a good life, Master Wang sold illegal salt, and Ma Songhua did not let Master Wang sell illegal salt, which was against them, just to let them live a miserable life of displacement and precariousness.

They realized that if they wanted to live a good life provided by the king for thousands of years, they must constantly destroy the enemies against the king. Because they realized that in the world, there was only an abnormal white crow called Master Wang.

Ma Songhua had not yet enjoyed the anger of class hatred, and his subordinates, as well as several gangsters in Jiangbei, had felt the anger of class hatred in advance. At the public trial meeting after the mobilization meeting, they were deeply stimulated by the tsunami-like shouts from the heart.

This is the voice that has been burning in the hearts of the vast majority of Chinese since the "Chinese riots" more than 2,000 years ago.

However, they didn't have much chance to talk to others about this strange experience that had been three hundred years in advance.

After the public trial, under the leadership of Ma Songhua's nephew Zhao Jinhui, he was hanged on the gallows along with four bandits who survived the catastrophe.

More than 40 peasants were sentenced to 10 years of re-education through labor after each being beaten with 30 sticks at a public trial.

Under the watchful eye of the peasant and industrial battalions, they will begin a life full of fantasy in their eyes
