Chapter 588: A Shocking Situation (2)
China is an ancient historical country where traditional culture occupies the absolute right to speak, and thousands of years of endless civilization inheritance have also accumulated many dregs and ideological errors in the early days, so that it is difficult to return. For example, the pragmatic application of Confucianism in the Han and Tang dynasties was mixed with the concept of Buddhism and Taoism in the Song Dynasty, and distorted into the blind pursuit of the so-called enlightenment of the mind, and in the middle and late Ming Dynasty, a whole ruling class of light and delusions was simply created.
It can be said that before the Tang Dynasty, scholars and cultural people, if they want to do something, they must have the ability and level to match, otherwise it is easy to make a fool of themselves.
In the Northern Song Dynasty, Niu Cha and people such as Su Dongpo, Sima Guang, and Wang Anshi had a high level of education, not to mention that they still had some specific official abilities. You don't see that many inventions and scientific and technological achievements in this era come from cultural masters.
However, from the beginning of the Southern Song Dynasty to the entire Ming Dynasty, scholars copied two hands and did not do their jobs, but they were not in their positions but thought they were clever all day long to criticize and criticize the government.
In the court, civil officials who are not in charge can express their opinions on all kinds of state affairs at will, regardless of whether you are war or diplomacy, Lao Tzu feels that he does not agree with me, he can attack and impeach him unscrupulously, and you deserve to be unjustly killed.
From the Song Dynasty to the Ming Dynasty, this atmosphere played a very bad role.
For more than 200 years in the Qing Dynasty, scholars were marginalized, and they were also killed by the butcher's knives of the Manchu Qing Dynasty.
After the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom at the end of the Qing Dynasty, Han officials began to come to power, and the status and discourse power of folk literati were also slightly improved. So the old problem of being suppressed for 200 years began to be committed again.
There is no historical time and space in which Yang Hao's family is mixed indiscriminately. From the end of the Qing Dynasty to the new dynasty for decades. The more chaotic the country, the more popular the literati became. No matter where the literati are, they are all guests of warlords, warriors, gangs, gang leaders, and gangsters.
They wantonly squandered their writings and ink to criticize the government and criticize current affairs, and they took a salary higher than that of the provincial governor at that time.
Most people think that your little life has been so comfortable, so you can enjoy it steadily? No, at that time, the revolutionary movement was surging. Various revolutionary organizations jumped out one after another to appear on the stage, and cultural people were not willing to be lonely to engage in the so-called new cultural movement.
There are many opinions on what the main purpose and purpose of the movement is. Anyway, you say your reason, I say my way. In addition to barely reaching a consensus on the matter of scolding Chinese medicine, there is still a lot of controversy over whether to completely abolish the Chinese script and completely Latinize it.
Of course, it's understandable when you think about it. At that time, the people who danced the most were also part of the deepest Chinese cultural cultivation, if they were all according to their meaning. The Chinese characters have been destroyed in one piece, who will they show those brilliant articles they wrote!
In a word. This kind of culture has to jump out to express their views on everything, and the trend of criticizing, accusing, and insulting people if they don't agree with me is a problem that was planted from the beginning. Until the Internet age, from time to time, some so-called experts and professors jumped out and made some stunned and strange remarks.
For example, "the Japanese people are peace-loving and do not see the characteristics of militarism."
Yang Hao's family can never be called a cultural person. In this world, any of them are ordinary people. At best, the aunts and nephews who went to college are still businessmen who are disdainful of cultural people, and they are full of copper stench.
When he arrived at the second plane, although Yang Hao was pushed to the stage of the great grandmaster, the words he published from the beginning were all vernacular, and they were still the content of the 21st century in this world after social changes and cultural improvements. To put it mildly, many of these words do not have the same meanings as traditional cultures, or even simply the opposite.
For example, more than one billion Chinese in the 21st century generally have a completely wrong understanding of the word "moderation", and to put it bluntly, even the pronunciation can be pronounced correctly by no more than one percent. The other words are also very different.
Such a "great master" is actually not accepted and respected by contemporary literati. Many people secretly ridiculed Yang Hao for being semi-illiterate, unable to write and unsatisfactory. Even if they are pushed by the general trend to accept the vernacular, they must show their superiority between the lines at all times.
Just like the 21st century in the world, there will be essays written in classical Chinese in the college entrance examination essays every year, which can often cause praise in the society and get high scores.
In Yang Hao's view, this is a very bad atmosphere.
Culture should serve the public, conform to the current social situation, be able to enjoy with the people, embody the spiritual thinking of the broad masses of the people, be unconventional and self-exalted, and be free from the self-righteousness of the masses.
After decades of revolution and transformation, the world has reverted to its old ways as soon as the policy is relaxed.
The change of power in the second plane was too gentle, and the Manchu ruling class that pressed on the people was swept away, and even if Yang Hao seized the opportunity to set the tone of a new culture, it still could not prevent the resurgence of decadent ideas that had accumulated for thousands of years.
Fortunately, Yang Hao has never let go of the propaganda mouth, and has always held the military authority to deter, and has set up a promotion and evaluation system for the bureaucracy from the beginning, so as not to let them have loopholes. In today's government councils, businessmen and workers are also represented in an absolute proportion, leaving not much opportunity for the literati.
In the high-level of the government, that is, Yan Fu and Tan Si, there are a few literati leaders who exist as role models. However, since then, the main members of the various parties, parliamentarians and the like, have rarely been mere literati. Even if it is Yan Fu, it is also a professional background in the Beiyang Navy. Tan Sitong, the leader of the Reform Movement. Old-fashioned old gentlemen, not a single one.
Compared with the faces of the literati who went through the laissez-faire during the Republic of China, and then more than seventy percent of the officials who were born as pen players, Yang Hao is very glad that he came up and went on the right path. If it weren't for the timely and strict control, I am afraid that the new China at this time has become a copy of the Northern Song Dynasty government.
Nearly ten years have passed, and I see these old friends again and watch their performance coldly. Yang Hao found the overall feeling. It's still good.
At least. In terms of foreign strategic decision-making, among the participants in the whole meeting, there was not a single strange thing that asked China to be tolerant of foreign friends.
In other words, there may have been such a neuropathy, which was cleared by the head of Yang Ding here.
The big names expressed their opinions, and the central idea was very clear, all around how to subtly mislead the great powers and make them misjudge China's power and foreign policy. The major policies that then guide the changes in the entire world pattern have not deviated or contradicted at will.
In the eyes of traditional literati, their remarks are absolutely unroyal and immoral. For the sake of the rights and interests of the Chinese, it is necessary to sacrifice the lives of foreigners and deliberately trigger an unprecedented war disaster that may affect more than a billion people in the entire world. Aren't you afraid of cutting off your children and grandchildren like Chen Ping?
Yang Hao never heard such an argument, and he was as lenient as Tan Sitong and Yan Fu, at best, he did not express a fierce opinion on this, and there was no opposition.
It's a very interesting phenomenon, but it's also a very conducive atmosphere.
A series of internal and external decisions have been made with clear decisions. We should be cautious and cautious in controlling public opinion with a unified voice, so as not to go astray toward militarism. Restraint must always be maintained, and the military must serve the goal of peace.
In the end, it was determined that the offensive depth of the Northern Frontier Army Corps would be maintained on the Chita line, and the emphasis would be on keeping the entire combat process secret to the greatest extent. In just a few days, hundreds of thousands of Russian troops were defeated like a withering and decaying, and the extremely exaggerated seizure of control of more than a million square kilometers of land would frighten too many people.
The use of airplanes in battle, the shocking effect of train guns, the advanced techniques and tactics of coordinated operations by land, sea and air, and the various aspects of small units fighting in mountainous areas all need to be held as much as possible so as not to be leaked out.
China itself is very strict with foreign spies, and it is very difficult for foreign devils to survive here.
But on the Russian side, there are too many intelligence agents from all over the world, and no one can count how many there are. To a greater or lesser extent, they will observe the entire process of the operation and gather important intelligence information that is very beneficial to the West. Once too much is leaked, it will inevitably lead to a completely new estimate of China's war strength by the great powers.
That would most likely lead the great powers to put aside their disputes for a while, collectively turn their guns around and unite with each other to launch an all-out war against China. Don't be careful!
For China to rise, it is not only necessary to strive for self-improvement, but also to have a suitable external environment to ensure that the whole process is not interrupted.
China in this world has been able to rise in the 21 st century, thanks to the fact that in the past 30 years of reform and opening up, the central government has not made fatal mistakes, and the key nodes have chosen the right direction. And the Western forces, which have always been strictly guarding against China's rise, were also diverted from power at a critical time when internal contradictions arose.
No matter how you look at it, China is lucky.
However, because the starting point of the new China in the second plane is too high, it cannot simply hope that the foreign devils will make trouble by themselves. The external environment must also be created on its own initiative, which requires the efforts of all parties.
In this way, at the beginning of the air raids, there was almost a full-scale counterintelligence undercover war in various urban strongholds throughout the Far East. Happened in Kırıkaki and George. The tragedy of the Max reporter is only one of them, the dozen or so bloody cameras, silently witnessing I don't know how many life-and-death battles!
In the larger city of Boli, in the more mixed Vladivostok city, in Chita, in more places, hundreds of open and secret battles are fiercely staged. Airplanes roared in the sky, bombs roared on the ground, gunfire erupted in the streets and alleys, and swords and blood shadows on the outskirts of the city.
These situations were all raised at the Central Committee's meeting, and as a phased result, pieces of the puzzle filled the gaps in the entire grand plan.
While Yang Hao listened, he couldn't help but marvel in his heart, such a complex layout was more than ten times more troublesome than when he was engaged in the revolutionary stage! Being able to control the whole process without making mistakes, this team is still quite powerful.
The meeting ended efficiently and without ripping. Finally, the head of state Yang Dingshi announced with indignation: "Ladies and gentlemen, whether the Chinese nation can rise to the top of the world depends on whether this key step can be taken smoothly. For the future of the whole nation, please continue to forge ahead with me! ”
"For the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, forge ahead!"
is still full of fighting spirit and passion! The generous gesture of the old, middle-aged and young people in the hall made Yang Hao's heartfelt blood boil, and the long-lost sense of mission of the times came again.
Then the new Chinese government began a magnificent show.
Internationally. He bitterly accused the Russian government of ignoring the overall situation of peace. Ignoring China's efforts to make peace for the sake of diplomatic relations between the two countries. The construction of the China Eastern Railway was promoted at a huge cost, only to be exchanged for such shameless and brutal aggression. The Chinese people have no patience and can only resolutely fight back!
He did not say anything about the tremendous results achieved in a few days, but vaguely stated that he had succeeded in achieving a phased victory, and then repeatedly stressed the need for dialogue with the Tsarist government and the settlement of disputes through negotiations, and warmly invited all major countries in the world to take an active part. Justice.
It seems that China is very much like an honest person who has been bullied, stupidly seems to not understand the law of the jungle of the great powers, and is very naïve to believe that foreign devils can also speak fairly, and will not pull the strings.
To be cheap and to behave in order to be cheap and to beautify one's own violent behavior while launching aggression is an indispensable quality that Western countries have long cultivated. The Chinese are learning the same hypocrisy so quickly, but they did not expect it.
In the eyes of international public opinion, China was able to achieve victory by launching a sudden and resolute attack on Russia across the river. That's taking advantage of the surprise. The fact that less wins more can only be regarded as a case of war, but it can never be regarded as a mainstream successful example of national warfare.
The Russians were also very cooperative. Tsar Nicholas II angrily declared that China was a shameless sneak attack, and that Russia was unprepared to achieve a temporary victory. But this will not last long, and the powerful Russian Army will prove with practical actions that they are invincible, and they will definitely destroy the enemy who invades the border!
Well, in fact, it was the arrogant and conceited Nicholas II who was so angry that he did not understand the details of the war in the Far East at all, and he hurriedly made irresponsible statements.
As far as the Tsar is concerned, he thinks that the earth revolves around him, and all his decisions are wise and wise.
In more than ten years of cheating with China, his father worked hard all his life and laid a strong foundation. Only in the cultivation of Nicholas II, he was smart not to let him participate in government affairs early, but suddenly hung up, and the second who came to power in a hurry actually had no concept in his head about how to lead a country.
What will happen to this kind of person when he suddenly climbs to a high position, you can see the various actions of Emperor Chongzhen at the end of the Ming Dynasty. They don't know the current situation of the country, they take it for granted to formulate policies, and they are surrounded by a large number of treacherous people who they can't see through or control at all, and the final decrees often deviate too much from reality, and they can't succeed, they can only fail!
Nicholas II was too poor to take a bunch of villains as his cronies, but he had a belly for a shrewd and powerful man like Stolypin.
When Yang Hao took the envoy group and ran to his doorstep to toss, the report of the secret police department was belated, so that he finally understood that the Chinese were deliberately sabotage, and Nicholas II was furious, and his anger against China accumulated to the peak.
As a result, before he could make a move, China provoked a war first, and Nicholas II had a strong displeasure of being stabbed in a chrysanthemum, and it was completely blown up!
The war between the two countries has a great impact on the performance of the decision-makers on both sides at a critical time!
China's initiative to show weakness has left the Western powers confused, and because of the serious lack of clear intelligence from the Far East, it is impossible to judge the truth for a while.
Nicholas II's remarks have invisibly reinforced the erroneous view of China. Subsequently, he did not send more troops to reinforce at the first time, but instead transported wagons of medals to the past, declaring to the world that as long as there was such spiritual encouragement, the Russian army in the Far East could turn defeat into victory and easily kill the invaders.
Such a reaction made the whole world stunned!
How confident you are to do this!
The Tsar proudly told the British and French envoys that Russia had long been wary of China's intentions, and that in the Far East they had been increasing their forces over the years. In the Amur region alone, there are 300,000 people! And in the Baikal region and on the northern border of Mongolia, there are two hundred thousand troops! 500,000 troops, against a mere 100,000 Chinese troops, victory is certain.
When Europeans heard this, they couldn't help but be shocked, 500,000 is really crazy enough.
In this way, they also feel that the Russians have a better chance of winning. From the point of view of all countries, the victory or defeat of the current war depends on whether the two sides are adequately prepared and how quickly the troops are mobilized in advance. Generally speaking, a big war of hundreds of thousands of people cannot be completed without months of preparation, and a national mobilization is required.
However, the personnel of the Chinese embassy and consulates did not find a full mobilization, and the number of troops transported to the north was not very large. The 1 million troops scattered across the vast territory of the country are simply unable to form mobile operations. At best, it only allows retired soldiers to be re-conscripted and on standby, and in terms of public opinion and propaganda, there is no content that clamours about a full-scale war against Russia.
In a word, China is not ready for a full-scale war, or does not have the confidence to win.
Compare it with Russia, with more than 3 million regular troops and reserves, they can immediately go to the battlefield with the Tsar's order, and the numerical superiority alone can crush the other side, right?
After such a comparison, the Europeans also felt that China really did not have the ability to continue the offensive, and probably Russia could really win, right?
It's the result they like to see. Okay, you can put your mind at ease and continue to tear up.
They have not yet realized that this state of affairs is all a false illusion created by China's unilateral and deliberate efforts!
The real situation is that the construction corps, with a total number of 7.8 million people in Heilongjiang and Mongolia, and more than 2 million immigrants from the north, are closely following the footsteps of the attacking troops, crossing the border, and launching a full-scale occupation!
