86_86695 The scholars of the Ming and Qing dynasties were really able to do something tangible and achieve something. Either they are born at the bottom of the society, or they have a lot of experience in the bottom society.

There is no one who pays attention to the ministers of psychology and science who pay attention to "talking about their hearts and minds in ordinary times, and repaying the king when they die" and flaunting their integrity and reputation, who can really accomplish anything and make any achievements in any aspect.

Furthermore, all feudal literati, in the pursuit of doing things and pursuing life, as long as they focus on doing things, regardless of whether they actually did something meaningful or not. But at least they can do something. Those who focus on being human are often the kind of stupid characters who are regarded as a laughing stock by later generations.

It may be a bit inappropriate. However, in comparison, figures such as Fan Wencheng and Hong Chengchou, who are traitors, must be much more accomplished than Shi Kefa, Qian Qianyi and others, who are known as loyal ministers.

At least from the perspective of the common people, Fan Wencheng and Hong Chengchou are consciously killing the people, while Shi Kefa, Qian Qianyi and others are unconsciously letting the people be killed. Even without the attack of the Manchu barbarians, Nanming himself killed each other under the leadership of those so-called loyal ministers.

The question of whether the invasion and massacre of the Manchu barbarians caused more damage to China, or whether the Southern Ming regime's own internal strife caused more damage to China, is worth studying. At least from a materialist point of view, internal causes are the main factors that determine the development of things. The demise of the Ming Dynasty must have been played a major role by internal factors. Isn't it self-evident what this internal cause is?

No matter how ridiculous this view may be, how outrageous it may seem to nationalists. However, for Wang Shuhui, who knows history, whether it is the traitorous literati under the Manchu Qing Dynasty or the infighting literati under the Nanming Dynasty, he is not ready to absorb one.

In Wang Shuhui's plan, in addition to death, these people will be subject to labor reform. Or logging in Siberia, or planting trees on the high slopes of the loess, Wang Shuhui has long decided their fate.

However, among the peasant rebels in the late Ming Dynasty, whether it is Gu Junen, Song Xiance, or Niu Jinxing, these three people are remarkable in history. At least for Wang Shuhui, the three of them are a bit similar to Zhang Liang, Xiao He, Zhuge , Sima and other characters in Romance.

Moreover, except for the last cousin of Niu Venus, Xiàn, who was a little dirty and surrendered to the Manchus. Gu Junen and Song Xiance are both more upright. At least the two of them are much more dignical than the vast majority of ministers of the Ming and Qing dynasties.

More importantly, in Wang Shuhui's view, these three people, as feudal scholars and as members of the feudal ruling class, their participation in the peasant uprising can be somewhat said to be their betrayal of their own class. Wang Shuhui believes that their participation in the peasant uprising is at least to reshuffle the feudal ruling class, and is a kind of expression of the pursuit of change.

On the other hand, whether it was the traitorous literati loyal to the Manchu Qing Dynasty or the infighting literati loyal to the Southern Ming Dynasty, they were all trying to preserve the status quo of the feudal ruling class that had become completely rotten and completely rotten. From the history of the Qing Dynasty, we can see what kind of disgusting appearance the barbaric and backward Eight Banners of the semi-slave system and the rigid and ignorant Han landlords were combined.

If you don't know how important cheap labor is for the development of industry. Wang Shuhui couldn't even think that these people had any other role than fertilizing the land as fertilizer.

Of course, it may also be a better option to send them to other places to harm other countries.

In short, it is precisely because of this understanding that Wang Shuhui asked Sima Feng to help him recruit Gu Junen, Song Xiance and Niu Jinxing. For these three people, he was ready to be used for observation.

In Wang Shuhui's time and space, Gu Junen, Song Xiance and Niu Jinxing are all only in their twenties, and they have just made great efforts to achieve fame in Xiucai.

In the last years of the Ming Dynasty, both the Huguang region and the Henan region belonged to the areas where the literary style was not flourishing, although neither place was as fierce as the competition in the imperial examination as the Jiangnan region. However, if you don't have the corresponding family background and officialdom support, it is not too easy to rely on your own ability to be admitted to the show.

Gu Junen, Song Xiance and Niu Jinxing are all more pragmatic characters. They don't really feel like they're geniuses yet. Suddenly favored by a royal family member and was recruited by a county lord of honor. On the one hand, they felt a little strange, and on the other hand, they still had a little joy in their hearts.

Because his home is from Hubei, Gu Junen was the first of the three to reach Wangfu Town. Soon after, Song Xiance and Niu Jinxing, who were in Henan, arrived in Wangfu Town under the leadership of Sima Feng.

The total population of Wangfu Town, which is affiliated to the Revival Society, has now reached about 20,000. In Wang Shuhui's view, this kind of population size is not as large as that of a provincial-level ordinary undergraduate university. However, in ancient society, this was the size of the total population of a county. Gu Junen and the three of them were all surprised by the scale of Wangfu Town.

All three of them are the kind of young scholars who have never left their hometown. The neat urban planning of the town, the uniform costumes, and the orderly and disciplined actions of the people of the town are full of amazement.

They see Wang Shuhui as the kind of powerful local powerhouse. However, just talking about the "tall" fortress-like city wall made of cement and concrete that has been completed in a palace town makes them breathtaking, and at the same time, they feel a little uncomfortable in their hearts to think of the allusion of Confucius "falling into the three capitals".

However, the three of them are the kind of people who have been studying and living in the countryside since childhood, and know very well the current situation of the "big courtyard" fortresses of landlords everywhere in China. Therefore, although they were surprised that Wang Shuhui had built a surprising super "big courtyard" fortress in Wangfu Town, they still felt that this was a reality that was universally existed and tacitly approved by the imperial court.

When Gu Junen and the three arrived in Wangfu Town, Wang Shuhui was not at the headquarters. He is leading the first battalion of the Revival Army to camp in Yuanjiajia, preparing to meet the coalition of officials and bandits who have come to attack the Renaissance Society.

However, Wang Shuhui is more concerned about these three people. Before leaving, he had already ordered the Standing Committee of the Revival Society to be responsible for receiving Gu Junen, Song Xiance, and Niu Jinxing. He asked Chen Feng, who remained at the headquarters to preside over the work, to introduce the ideas of the Revival Society to the three of them, and gave them the relevant texts "The Unification of All Things" and "The Uniformity of All Ages", as well as the relevant texts introducing the organizational program of the Revival Society, to the three of them to read and study.

The material is still those materials, the content is still those contents, and the examples are still those examples. However, wearing the skin of Xunzi, playing the brand of Xunzi, and using dialectical materialism and historical materialism as the skeleton to explain and assert, "The Law of the Unification of All Things" and "The Uniformity of All Ages" brought a huge shock to the three young readers.

Gu Junen, Song Xiance and Niu Jinxing are all young people who are in the bottom society, understand the actual situation of the actual society very well, and are sober-minded. As important figures who have left a strong mark on history, their vision and thinking are very open and sober.

After carefully reading and studying the two basic theoretical books and the programmatic texts of the Revival Society for a few days, the three of them all immediately came up with the idea that Wang Shuhui "has a great plan".

The three people who lived on the same floor of the reception naturally had to discuss their ideas with each other after their minds were shocked.

After reading all the materials, Niu Jinxing said to his fellow countryman, Song Xiance, who had established a close relationship during the trip, "I'm afraid that the noble man is a disciple of Famo." ”

Song Xiance is a slow reader, and he is still reading the book "All Generations Return to the Same". He replied to Niu Jinxing: "I foolishly think that Wang Yibin is still a disciple of Confucianism, but he is more focused on Xunzi's theory in his thinking. ”

Gu Junen, who also read the book very quickly, had read all the materials, and was about to start reading it for the second time, said, "I think Wang Yibin has great ambitions." These two masterpieces alone, although the language is vulgar, the text is a little unbearable. However, his words have the meaning of a hundred schools of thought. ”

Gu Junen's words were affirmed by Niu Jinxing and Song Xiance. They all felt that although Wang Shuhui and the Fuxing Society's ideology was covered with a coat of respecting Xunzi and advocating the revival of the "well field", they all felt that Wang Shuhui and the Fuxing Society's thinking was fundamentally different from the current mainstream of psychology. Vaguely, they felt that Wang Shuhui's thinking was fundamentally opposed to the current mainstream ideology.

However, as a reader, I look at the "words of sages" and "academic consensus" that are widely used in books and materials as arguments for theoretical support; In the face of the perfect self-consistency of dialectical materialism and historical materialist theory. They even feel that many of the things they find very uncomfortable, such as the "sexual evil" theory that Xunzi said, that is, the nature of human beings, are equivalent to the Darwinian evolutionary ideas of animal nature, and it is difficult for them to come up with a valid argument to refute them.

After all, Cheng Zhu Lixue, as the mainstream of the ideology of the feudal society, is also emphasizing "preserving heavenly principles and destroying people's desires". If human nature is not bad and low-level, then why is there still a clamoring to "destroy human desires".

As for Wang Shuhui's historical materialism, which he emphasized in his manuscripts and materials, "the level of development of the productive forces determines the course of human society". In the face of the fact that their ancestors went from "drinking blood from Ru Mao" to "slash-and-burn", and in the face of the fact that those ancient sages were like engineers, inventing the common achievements of artificial fire, building houses, inventing fishing nets, firing pottery, and creating writing, they felt that this view was reasonable and self-consistent and irrefutable.

For the three of them, the idea of materialism, whether dialectical materialism or historical materialism, although there are many detailed ideas and propositions that they do not quite agree with. However, after reading Wang Shuhui's thoughts, they also had a feeling of sudden enlightenment in their understanding.

Wang Shuhui's thought is that "there are hundreds of schools of thought and one theory", which has become the common understanding of the three young scholars.

Whether it is Gu Junen, Song Xiance or Niu Jinxing, they all agree with most of the content of Wang Shuhui and the ideas of the Fuxing Society.

However, they took the Revival Society's "revival of wells and fields, public ownership of land" as their land policy, and their guiding ideology was "the law of the unity of all things" and "the uniformity of all ages". Advocating the ideological program of "etiquette" and "law" ideology of "honoring the virtuous and the king, respecting the law and loving the people and tyranny", they feel very uncomfortable from their own natural and subconscious class instincts.

In particular, the Revival Association advocates the state ownership of land by "reviving well fields and public ownership of land". This argument made it impossible for them to refute it on the face (Confucianism longed for the rule of three generations and regarded the well-field system as the ideal land system), and at the same time, because they were themselves a landlord class, they instinctively felt a kind of gross offense.

However, during the subsequent inspection and visit to the base villages of the Renaissance Society, they had to admit that the land policy of the Renaissance Society had tangible benefits for the people.

This ideological and moral identity and the conflict of class instinct had always been their main ideological situation until they met Wang Shuhui.

However, as their understanding of Wang Shuhui's ideology and theory continued to deepen, and as they visited and inspected the farms, breeding farms, various factories, and the army of the Fuxing Society, they had a feeling of frightening step by step.

In particular, after Wang Shuhui's instructions in the field were agreed, they even had a creepy feeling after they visited the daily training, live-fire firing, and simulated exercises of the Renaissance Army.

Their understanding of Wang Shuhui has gradually risen from "Wang Yibin's plan is very big" to the stage of "Wang Yibin has the heart to rebel and stand on his own".

watched the Renaissance Army's dense and neat training in a commanding queue; watched the live-fire training that was carried out every day, with the smoke of gunpowder and the incredibly powerful rifle firing intensively; I saw it again, Sima Feng, a senior official who had originally recruited him, went to Wangfu Town boatload by boat with refugees and displaced people from all over the country. Gu Junen, Song Xiance and Niu Jinxing all had a sense of regret for getting on the thief ship and entering the thief's den.

This feeling reached its peak stage after Sima Feng sent all their families to Wangfu Town, and the Fuxing Society immediately arranged a high standard of living conditions for their families. For a while, they all had the urge to run to the yamen to tell the whistle.

However, after they visited the county government of Zhijiang County as if they were wandering through their own garden, they had a feeling of despair
