Wang Feng nodded and said, "What Elder Xu said is right, this is indeed the original intention of democracy!" ”

"Good!" Xu Maode praised with his fingers: "My lord is so open-minded, which really makes the old man admire, but my lord once said that a police agency will be set up to supervise the Shanghai County People's Government, so the old man has the courage to say more, if the police are derelict in their duties or oppress the good, who will supervise them?" ”

Wang Feng said lightly: "For the time being, I will supervise it, if the Shanghai police have any illegal acts, the people of Shanghai can report to me directly!" ”

"This" everyone looked at each other, looking like they wanted to say something.

"Hehe~~" Wang Feng couldn't guess their thoughts, and immediately chuckled: "You want to ask, who will supervise me, did I guess wrong?" ”

"Where, where, the adults are too worried." Xu Maode smiled awkwardly, but this smile revealed obvious unnaturalness.

Wang Feng suddenly turned pale, and said solemnly: "Everyone, this is indeed a problem, the police dereliction of duty will be dealt with by me, if I am corrupt, who will bring me to justice?" But I would like to tell you that in the history of mankind, whether in the East or the West, there has never been a real democracy, and the so-called democracy of Britain, France, and the United States is only an internal consultation mechanism between the big capitalists and the bankers, that is, the rich, and ordinary people are still the objects of oppression and exploitation!

So, what exactly is true democracy, whether everyone does what they want, or the majority suppresses the minority? The former is equivalent to anarchy and disorganization, and society will fall into chaos, while the latter can easily be induced and used by well-intentioned people as a tool to combat dissent.

However, in order for the people to be truly independent and truly masters of the country, we must break the shackles of feudal rule for 5,000 years and take the road of democratization; therefore, democracy requires all of us to explore, to cross the river by feeling the stones, even if we accidentally fall into the turbulence, this river must flow, because this is the only way for our Chinese to avoid the fate of being enslaved and oppressed!

In the process of democratization, the feudal rulers will inevitably fight back wildly, the revolutionary speculators will look for opportunities to grab the fruits of victory, and the Western powers will not sit idly by and watch China become strong, so it will be accompanied by blood and dictatorship, and each of us must be ready to sacrifice at any time!

In addition, the process of democratization is closely related to the cultural and educational level of the people, for 5,000 years, the Chinese people are the happiest, because the requirements are low, enough to eat and drink, at the same time, the Chinese people are also the most unlucky, by the feudal code of ethics often layer by layer on the head, slave consciousness deep into the bone marrow, as long as there is a bite of food, even bark grass root Guanyin soil, but also for cattle and horses not to resist, there are really hot-blooded people to rise up, but it is just to use violence to counter violence, crazy to kill more people.

Therefore, if we want to promote democracy, in addition to the common struggle of our pioneers, we must also open up the wisdom of the people and cultivate the people to automatically and consciously link their own destiny with the destiny of the country and the nation, which is a long road!

If the people of Shanghai prove that they are capable of managing themselves, I will popularize Shanghai's experience and set up more people's governments in various places, and when democratization reaches a certain level, the people will no longer ignore the infringement of their own rights and interests, and will consciously supervise those in power, if you want to ask me who will supervise me, I hope that the whole Chinese people will supervise me together! ”

"Good! The surname is Wang, I hope you are not duplicitous! As soon as Wang Feng's words fell, Zhou Xiuying screamed loudly, her face was full of excitement!

The Shanghai gentry led by Xu Maode also nodded again and again, on the one hand, they could hear that this was Wang Feng's heart, and on the other hand, Wang Feng, the long-haired man's conversation and insight also surprised them.

Xu Maode asked again: "My lord, we understand your determination, and we are willing to follow you on the road of democracy, but you are only a division commander in the Taiping Army, as far as we know, the level of the division commander is not high, and the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom Heavenly King, East King and other kings have already shown with their actions that their purpose of raising troops is only for themselves, if I am saying that if the Taiping Army high-level forcibly interferes, how will you respond?" Taking a step back, the power of the Qing Dynasty is still greater than that of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, and if one day Shanghai falls into the hands of the Qing court again, won't all of us who cut off our braids be exterminated? ”

"Old Xu, you have asked these two questions to the point, and I will answer them for you one by one!" Wang Feng pondered for a moment, and then said: "Regarding the first point, the territory taken by me and Chief Hong will never allow the forces of the Heavenly King Dongwang to interfere, if they forcibly interfere, then there is only one way to go to war, and the second point, although I can assure you that this matter will never happen, but you definitely don't believe it, right?"

Well, today I solemnly promise that if the fall of Shanghai is inevitable one day, it must be when my brothers and I run out of food, and before that, I will merge Shanghai into the concession, and the foreigners will not care whether you have braids or not, and the Qing court will not dare to meddle in the affairs of the concession, so can you rest assured? ”

To tell the truth, the ordinary people at that time did not hate foreigners, because foreigners represented the advanced, acted in China under the guise of democracy and charity, were full of benevolence, righteousness and morality, and had a certain degree of deception, and the foreigners took in the 20,000 refugees who fled Shanghai due to the Xiaodaohui uprising, forming a de facto protection, so the Shanghainese were more or less grateful to the foreigners.

Although the Qing court was corrupt and brutal, it could be ranked second because the dominant order had been accepted by the public, in contrast, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom destroyed the old order, but did not rebuild the new order, which was synonymous with ruining the miè and became the most unpopular regime!

It wasn't until Wang Feng tried his best to reshape the image of the Taiping Army in Baoshan, a place with a big palm!

Sure enough, the gentry led by Xu Maode showed a relaxed look, and Xu Maode gave a deep salute: "Since the adult promises so, then I am willing to assist the adult wholeheartedly, please bring the knife!" ”

Wang Feng turned his head and looked, several Taiping soldiers handed over the knife, and the five gentry all pulled their braids, cut violently, and brushed them! Five braids fall to the ground!

Whether it is forced to form a shì or speculate on the revolution, but cutting the braid is to draw a clear line with the Qing court, at present, Wang Feng can't ask too much, and he is not qualified to ask too much, he just needs to firmly grasp the military power, and on this basis, establish the most extensive anti-Qing united front!

"Hahahaha~~" Wang Feng laughed and said: "Welcome to join us, I believe that Shanghai will become better and better under the governance of the Shanghai people, but I want to ask a few more words, I don't know if there is a smoke house under your name?" What is your opinion on the use of gold and silver treasures? ”

Xu Maode arched his hand: "Please rest assured, the first thing we did when we returned to Shanghai was to close the tobacco house, hand over the crow~~ pieces, and promise never to open it again, as for the part of the money that was not taken away, it should be used by the Shanghai County People's Government and the Shanghai County People's Congress!" ”
