We know that there is a wonderful world, but we don't know how to achieve that wonderful world. This is the problem that has always plagued Ma Xianglin.

    As Ma Xianglin's contact with the soldiers and cadres of the Fuxing Army Dispatch Battalion became deeper and deeper, and as his correspondence with Wang Shuhui became more and more frequent, Ma Xianglin found more and more that the Fuxing Society seemed to have a set of practical methods to realize the beautiful world he idealized.

    Under this understanding, as soon as the young Ma Xianglin returned from the southwest battlefield, he went to Zhijiang County, where his teacher Wang Shuhui was located.

    In Zhijiang County, under the rule of the Renaissance Association, Ma Xianglin learned that the idea of benevolence, righteousness and love for the people was not only a political concept, but also a specific goal that could be concretely operated.

    Rich land, happy people, thriving economy, amazing technology. The whole Revival Society was ruled by a very different world from the world that Ma Xianglin was familiar with. With great shock, Ma Xianglin, who began to receive formal training and education at the headquarters of the Revival Society, was eager to know how his teachers and the Revival Society could do this.

    It was just half a month of the most basic political education, and Ma Xianglin suddenly discovered something that had always been by his side, but he had never thought of it: the most ideal world of Datong is not a vain fantasy, but an achievable practical goal.

    Ma Xianglin found through study that even under the existing social conditions, everyone has clothes to wear, everyone has food, "the old have their end, the strong have their usefulness, the young have their growth, the widows, the lonely and the sick have all have support", it is not impossible to achieve. It's just that if you want to build a world of great harmony, it is not the common people who need to be educated, but those rulers who are full of brains and intestines, spend all day and drink with the blood and sweat of the people, and at the same time are full of benevolence, righteousness and morality.

    Ma Xianglin doesn't know why he hasn't thought of this method, after all, Lao Tzu obviously said this truth in two thousand years: "The way of heaven is more than enough to make up for the deficiency." The way of man is not, and the loss is insufficient and the service is excessive. ”

    Ma Xianglin, who has received basic political learning, feels that as long as the way of heaven is implemented in this world, humanity will be exterminated. Then, the ideal of world harmony can be fully realized.

    In Ma Xianglin's view, what the Fuxing Association has done by "fighting local tyrants and dividing the land" is to implement the way of heaven and realize the ideal of a harmonious world. More importantly, Mr. Wang Shuhui has led the Revival Society in Jingzhou to prove the feasibility of the Fuxing Society's ideas and methods.

    There are theories, practices, far-sighted guidelines, and specific and meticulous implementation methods. How could Ma Xianglin not agree with the ideas and practices of his teacher Wang Shuhui and the Fuxing Society.

    Ma Xianglin, who had such an idea, had to return to Shizhu Xuanfu Division because of his identity. After that, Ma Xianglin, who was completely devoted to the Renaissance Society, on the one hand, fully supported all the activities of the Renaissance Society in the Shizhu area, and on the other hand, he and the cadres of the Fuxing Society stationed in the Shizhu area further studied the theoretical knowledge and political ideas of the Fuxing Society.

    The stone pillar of the Ming Dynasty comforted Ma Xianglin, and in this way, he began to transform from a member of the feudal ruling class to a revolutionary.

    It is precisely for this reason that Ma Xianglin, who has begun to systematically study scientific and social theories, will have a fierce conflict with his mother, who has always been obedient. Because in Ma Xianglin's view, his mother's loyalty to the Ming Dynasty is simply an unreasonable thing.

    He found that his mother, who had always taught him to be benevolent and love the people, would always choose the interests of the court when facing the interests of the people and the interests of the court.

    Her old man's statement and practice are completely opposed, so that Ma Xianglin began to have a new understanding of his mother. He found that his mother, whom he had always thought was morally noble, now seemed to be a feudal ruler and a thug.

    Hearing that his mother wanted to expel the cadres of the Revival Association in the Shizhu area, Ma Xianglin remembered what his teacher Wang Shuhui once said to him earnestly: "Mastering the truth can make you see the world clearly." However, grasping the truth and seeing the world clearly is not necessarily a comfortable thing, a happy thing. A person has lived in the dark all his life, once he suddenly wakes up, he finds that all the people around him are blinded, and he can't understand himself who has opened his eyes and regained a correct understanding of the world. That feeling of loneliness, alienation, and discomfort is definitely a very painful process. ”

    When Ma Xianglin was usually with the cadres and soldiers of the Fuxing Association all day long, he couldn't deeply understand the meaning of what Mr. Wang said. Suddenly, I saw my mother's true face, and suddenly I discovered my mother's persistent mistake. Ma Xianglin's heart was very uncomfortable.

     In particular, when Ma Xianglin found that his mother not only chose to ignore the interests of the people in the Shizhu area, but also used a hint of "whether the people of Shizhu regard the Ma family as the main or the revival society as the main thing" to enhance his persuasiveness in the persuasion of his uncles and himself, Ma Xianglin felt for the first time that his mother was not the kind of person who was sincere and "benevolent and loving the people" as he imagined.

    He found that his mother and her old man not only seemed to be willing to be a thug and eagle dog of the imperial court, but also seemed to regard their own interests as more important than everything. Between maintaining his rule and safeguarding the interests of the people, between being loyal to the court and being loyal to the people, his mother was very disappointed and chose to be loyal to his own interests and the court.

    This new understanding of his mother and the person he regarded as a spiritual idol since he was a child really brought unexpected pain to Ma Xianglin. Therefore, at the beginning, Ma Xianglin did not immediately refute his mother's opinion, but tried to suppress this sense of pain in his heart.

    There are only four people who can decide the major affairs of the Shizhu Xuanfu Division now. One is naturally Qin Liangyu, who temporarily took over her husband Ma Qiancheng's position. One is Ma Xianglin, the only heir of Ma Qiancheng and Qin Liangyu. In addition, as Qin Liangyu's assistants, Qin Liangyu's brother Ma Xianglin's uncles Qin Bangping and Qin Minping are also one of the decision-makers of the Shizhu Xuanfu Division.

    Under normal circumstances, in addition to matters involving military affairs, Qin Bangping actually paid great attention to his words and deeds out of the consideration of avoiding suspicion, and tried to avoid actively participating in the decision-making of the Shizhu Xuanfu Division.

    In Qin Bangping's view, he is Qin Liangyu's brother Ma Xianglin's uncle, and if his identity is too involved in the affairs of the Xuanfu Division, it is easy for people to have a misunderstanding that the Qin family wants to intervene and control the Shizhu Xuanfu Division.

    Qin Liangyu's younger brother, Ma Xianglin's uncle Qin Minping is a rough character. He didn't think as much as his eldest brother Qin Bangping thought.

    The reason why he participated in the white pole soldiers was entirely because the white pole soldiers lacked qualified officers, and in the Chungju Qin family, the eldest brother, the third sister and himself were specially taught the art of war by their father. Qin Minping's participation in the white pole soldiers was completely with the idea of wanting to show what he had learned in his chest. As for the government affairs of the Shizhu Xuanfu Division, he didn't care at all and never participated in it.

    However, this time Qin Liangyu suddenly discussed with them about the nephew of the Wang family, who was very kind to his brother.

    When it comes to Wang Shuhui, the brothers Qin Bangping and Qin Minping have no way to avoid suspicion or don't care. After all, after receiving Wang Shuhui's support on the battlefield in Liaodong, and saving his life because of Wang Shuhui's reminder, such a great favor has not been repaid, Wang Shuhui ordered the revival to help the Qin family in Zhongzhou open a factory to make a lot of money.

    So, no matter what, the Qin brothers can't ignore Qin Liangyu's attitude.
