Chapter 171: Revival Society's Foreign Aid 3
86_86695 "The essence of the national question is still class contradictions. β
"As long as we grasp this, we can distinguish who is the careerist who creates national division and undermines national unity! Who are innocent compatriots deceived and blinded by careerists! β
"To our innocent compatriots who have been deceived and deceived, we must educate them and unite them! We must resolutely eliminate careerists who create national separatism and undermine national unity! β
-- 1621, Wang Shuhui, "The National Mission of the Revival Society"
"Revolutionary soldiers should keep in mind that there are three major disciplines and eight points of attention. The first qiΔ action is to listen to the command, and only by walking in unison can we win. Second, I don't take a stitch from the masses, and the masses support and like me. Thirdly, the seizure should be returned to the public, and efforts should be made to lighten the burden on the people. We must achieve the three major disciplines, and we must not forget the eight points of attention. β¦β¦οΌβ¦β¦β
In May 1621, Qin Liangyu led 5,000 white-pole soldiers to take eight medium-sized steam paddle steamers provided by the Fuxing Society, starting from the Gaojiazhen Wharf, going up the Yangtze River and heading for Chongqing.
Although the carrying capacity of the Steam paddle steamers of the Renaissance Society itself is limited, the special troop barges towed behind each ship can easily carry soldiers and supplies.
Qin Liangyu, his eldest brother Qin Bangping, and younger brother Qin Minping sat together on a barge specially prepared by the Fuxing Association, with special seats and a roof. The three siblings were discussing how sharp the weapons provided by the Revival Society this time were, and how well the plate armor fit and sturdied. Suddenly, Qin Liangyu heard the "Three Disciplines and Eight Attentions" sung by the soldiers of the Volunteer Battalion of the Fuxing Army on the boat that followed, and fell silent for a while.
Seeing Qin Liangyu's thoughtful face, Qin Bangping sighed and said to Qin Liangyu: "Third sister, didn't your second brother (Qin Banghan) already say it." The reason why Wang Yibin acted so wantonly was because of the favor of three generations of emperors. He's not what you think, he's just a simple reader who is proficient in military books and war strategies. β
"He was born in Liaodong Jiangmen, and by chance he became the son-in-law of the king of Zhijiang County. Although I haven't heard of any talent in military affairs, it is rumored that this guest of honor is proficient in the art of management and accumulation. Starting a workshop, setting up a factory and mine, within a year, he earned a huge amount of family assets. Three generations of heavenly sons have received a lot of benefits from him, so they love him very much. Isn't this that the Son of Heaven has now even given him the errand of the commander of Jingzhou Wei. β
"Now that he has the status of a military attache in the guard, with his background as a general in Liaodong, he has trained hundreds of soldiers, what is there to worry about. The Son of Heaven has allowed his relative to be an official, what else do you have to scruple about. β
"Besides, although sending troops across borders is against the military law system. However, in his capacity, it is a bit of a big deal to send some family members to help you. You should think that this is the admiration and admiration of young people for you, a heroic man in the army, and don't think too much about it. β
Seeing that Qin Liangyu still didn't speak, his younger brother Qin Minping said impatiently: "Third sister just likes to think more." If you want me to say, how many people have died and how much effort has been spent in serving the imperial court. But does the court have the slightest compassion? When I was in Liaodong, whether it was a member of the imperial court or a local general, who didn't send us guest soldiers to death as cannon fodder. If it weren't for Wang Yibin's reminder, our two brothers would have almost been calculated to death by those bastards. β
"Those bastards, who lost cities and lands one after another, didn't think about how to resist the Tartars and protect the people, but were jealous of the bravery of our white pole soldiers, and tried to put us to death. really according to what Wang Yibin said, they are all a group of 'pig teammates'. It's not good to fight by yourself, jealousy and jealousy can kill Zhongliang, they are the best. β
Seeing Qin Liangyu's angry face because of his younger brother's words. Qin Bangping hurriedly drank: "Shut up!" You're also forty years old, how can you say such resentful words! I really don't know how old you are, do you want to bring disaster to our Qin family and cause trouble for your nephew! β
Qin Liangyu, who is almost fifty years old this year, is a smart person with a clear mind. From her eldest brother's words, she heard another meaning. Obviously, for the inconsiderate of the imperial court, for the constraints of civil officials, and for the calculations of the military generals, he was in danger in Liaodong, and his brother, who escaped by relying on Wang Shuhui's reminder, has completely disgusted and hated the imperial court.
Qin Minping, the youngest son of the Qin family, is a simple-minded guy who doesn't like to read. He couldn't understand the maintenance and consolation of his brother's words, but started the fire himself. He frowned and said to his brother and sister, "What do you still have to doubt about the nephew of the Wang family. People have nothing to do with us, it's all because we fought to the death for the country in Liaodong that they respected and helped our family like this. β
"You should have these weapons and armor, and the gunpowder bullets, and the muskets of your nephew's battalion, all of which fell from the sky with a strong wind! It was bought from the Nanyang people by the nephew of the Wang family out of his own pocket! β
"There are more military attachΓ©s in the world. The nephew of the Wang family himself is from Liaodong Jiangmen, but he just looks down on those pigs and dogs, and he cares so much about our family. Don't treat kindness as a donkey's liver and lungs! You don't want to receive the love of the nephew of the Wang family, but I, Qin Laosi, want to receive the love of the nephew of the Wang family! If you still have concerns, don't use those armor and firearms, give me all of them, and I'll lead the troops to kill those extravagant rebels!" β
After saying a lot of angry words, Qin Minping didn't care about his brother's scolding, turned around and left the small shed, and ran to the place where the soldiers stayed behind.
Qin Liangyu saw his younger brother's appearance, and his heart was slightly bitter. In fact, not to mention her brother and younger brother, even she herself was also discouraged by the court.
He devoted himself to serving the country, and led troops from the southwest of Shizhu to Liaodong to resist the captives. However, civilian officials withheld food and salary, and engaged in "drifting", thousands of soldiers had no cotton clothes to keep out the cold, and lacked food and grass to satisfy their hunger. It was Wang Shuhui who paid out of his own pocket and asked the housekeeper of the Zhijiang Palace's palace in Beijing to buy cotton clothes and food, and sent them to Shanhaiguan to the white pole soldiers.
Those local generals and families are targeting the white pole soldiers everywhere, and all the hard work, tiring work, and death work should be done on the head of the white pole soldiers. The civil officials stationed in Liaodong by the imperial court were actually partial to them in everything and ignored what happened to the white pole soldiers. That's it, the so-called friendly troops in the local area actually watched the battle between the white pole soldiers and the Tartars, and watched the white pole soldiers suffer heavy casualties, and did not send a single soldier to support.
If he hadn't been sent back to Shizhu to recruit troops and encountered the Tusi rebellion, if he was still in Liaodong at this time, it is very likely that there would not be even a single person left in the white pole soldiers now, and they would all be killed by them.
Therefore, his elder brother and younger brother have resentment against the court and distrust the court in their hearts, and Qin Liangyu himself can understand it. However, for Wang Shuhui and what the Revival Association did, Qin Liangyu didn't have any support in his heart. However, she couldn't figure out what the problem was. This unsteady feeling has always plagued Qin Liangyu.
On the one hand, Wang Shuhui sent food and weapons to help Qin Liangyu and enhance the force of the white pole soldiers. On the other hand, the Fuxing Society engaged in agriculture, breeding, and factories in the Shizhu area. not only directly subsidized the families of the white pole soldiers, but also made the white pole soldiers more and more attached to Qin Liangyu and the Ma family. Even the local people began to receive more and more direct benefits from the Fuxing Association, and they respected Qin Liangyu and the Ma family very much.
From which point of view, Wang Shuhui is wholeheartedly helping himself and Shizhu Toast. However, behind Wang Shuhui's enthusiasm and sincerity, Qin Liangyu always felt that there was something else.
While Qin Liangyu was still pondering this question. Eight barges began to sing. Most of the white-pole soldiers who were born in the Shizhu Mountains were singing experts, and when they heard the Fuxing Army singing, they began to take the initiative to let go of their singing voices. However, these songs were not organized, and they were in chaos.
Qin Liangyu took a serious look at it and found that many of the white pole soldiers were singing love songs to the military medical troops of the Fuxing Army. You must know that many of the military doctors and hygienists sent by the Baath Army to support the white pole soldiers are female soldiers.
For more than a year, they have really saved a lot of white-pole soldiers on and off the battlefield. Half of the warriors were grateful to them, half were in love with them. Therefore, these songs sound, and there are a lot of straightforward words such as "brother and sister". This made Qin Liangyu's face, which had been tense, show some smiles.
The Qin family is a family of poets and scholars, but Qin Liangyu's old father, Mr. Qin Kui, who is proficient in the art of war, is a person who has been used in the world. Therefore, even Qin Bangping and Qin Liangyu were unimpressed by the warriors singing mountain song slang.
saw his younger brother Qin Minping and his son/nephew Ma Xianglin, and also sang mountain songs with everyone. The two looked at each other and smiled.
Although the people of Shizhu have their own language, most of them can speak Chinese. Therefore, many of the contents of these songs can be understood by the female soldiers of the military medical unit. Not to be outdone, they also sang. They sang two songs, both of which were often sung by the APA.
The first song is called "Sing a Mountain Song to the Party" (the Revival Association is also known as the Baath Party).
"Sing a mountain song to the party,
I compare the party to my mother;
My mother gave birth to me,
The party's brilliance shines on my heart.
The whip of the old society whipped me out,
The mother would only burst into tears;
The Baath Party called on me to make a revolution,
Snatch the whip and whip the enemy.
The Baath Party called on me to make a revolution,
Snatch the whip, snatch the whip and beat the enemy!
Sing a mountain song to the party,
I compare the party to my mother;
My mother gave birth to me,
The party's brilliance shines on my heart. β
It is difficult to compete with the 5,000 voices made by 5,000 people compared to the voices uttered by hundreds of people. As soon as the female soldiers of the Revival Society spoke, the entire fleet gradually became quiet.
The pain of suffering and torture in the old society, the heartache and helplessness of the mother, and the gratitude and love for the revival society are all shown in this short song. Especially such a song, which is interpreted by the crisp voices of female soldiers, the feelings contained in it are even more incisive.
Although the meaning of the lyrics, the white pole soldiers did not understand very well. However, what this song contains, the deep affection for the party, and the joy of turning over and making a revolution, like a good literary and artistic work, has a kind of resonance among the soldiers of the white pole soldiers. They had never cared much about the Revival Society, which had been helping them and bringing good life to their families. However, at this time, a desire arose in the hearts of the warriors to understand the Revival*.
After the female soldiers finished singing this song, they sang a second song called "Yingshan Hong". After singing this song, the soldiers of the White Pole Soldiers strongly wanted to know what kind of army the Revival Army was and why everyone wanted to look forward to the coming of this army.
If "Sing a Mountain Song to the Party" and "Reflecting the Red Mountain" have not brought any shock to Qin Liangyu. The song "Teacher's Words in Mind" sung by the soldiers of the Fuxing Army Volunteer Battalion sent by Wang Shuhui to Qin Liangyu really made Qin Liangyu's face change greatly, and she suddenly figured out why Wang Shuhui and why Wang Shuhui's revival meeting, which gave her a feeling of discomfort that made her a little unclear.
Yes, although I don't know what Wang Shuhui wants to do, although I don't know what kind of ideological program there will be for revival. However, Qin Liangyu suddenly figured out why Wang Shuhui and Fuxing would feel so different. That's because, whether it is Wang Shuhui, or the Fuxing Society under Wang Shuhui, or the soldiers of the Renaissance Army, they all have their own set of the same ideas, and they all follow the same set of ideas.
In Qin Liangyu's eyes, this is not just Wang Shuhui's royal family and the way to govern the army. Instead, Wang Shuhui used a set of ideas and a set of concepts to closely combine his subordinates and troops.
This is not a simple matter, and this is not such a simple thing as making soldiers feel like fingers in the army. Wang Shuhui's approach not only allows soldiers to unite in military operations. It also allowed all the members of the Revival Society and the Renaissance Army to have a consensus in their thoughts and actions, and a guide to action that they all agreed upon. It is this consensus and this action guide that makes all the Renaissance Association cadres and Renaissance Army soldiers that Qin Liangyu saw so different.
After thinking about this problem clearly, Qin Liangyu suddenly became sensitive to the word revolution in these songs.
Qin Liangyu, who is familiar with poetry and books, knows that the word "revolution" comes from "Zhou Yi, Gegua, Biography": "Heaven and earth are revolutionized and become four times, and the Tangwu revolution follows the sky and responds to people." β
Qin Liangyu clearly knew that this word was discussing the rationality and justice of Shang Tang's destruction of Xia. What Qin Liangyu didn't know was that a small county lord guest of honor, a group of big-headed soldiers, was qualified to use this word to describe the emperor's actions to define his actions.
I don't know why, Qin Liangyu suddenly felt a strong sense of unease. This feeling replaced her original doubts about Wang Shuhui and the Fuxing Society, and hung over her like a dark cloud.
Standing up, holding on to the railing next to the boat tightly, looking at his younger brother and son who were happily learning to sing the songs of the Renaissance Army, Qin Liangyu didn't know what to do.
"Wang Shuhui, what are you going to do? Whose life are you going to kill? β
Qin Liangyu's eyes looked downstream along the Yangtze River, as if he wanted to see Wang Shuhui's heart through countless mountains and rivers.
"Revolution is to change something that is unreasonable. Whether it is cultural customs, language, or living habits, any change or correction of things that are unreasonable is a kind of revolution. This is how we define the word revolution in the Revival Society. β
At night, in Qin Liangyu's big tent at the Fuzhou wharf, Lu Yue, the political commissar of the Fuxing Changjiang Fleet and the official liaison of the Fuxing Association, who is responsible for the liaison work with Shizhu Tusi, was answering Qin Liangyu's questions.
From Shizhu Tusi to Chongqing Mansion, it was originally necessary to walk by land for more than ten days. However, with the use of revival steamboats, the entire journey has been shortened to several days. Because the fleet has been advancing at full speed, it is only one day, and the whole army has arrived in Fuzhou.
Qin Liangyu really couldn't make her heart feel at ease, so she asked her brother and son to accompany her, and summoned Lu Yue, the representative of the Revival Association, overnight to come for questioning. As soon as Lu Yue sat down, she directly asked him what the Fuxing Society meant by "revolution".
Seeing that the three people on the opposite side all had puzzled expressions on their faces, Lu Yue continued to explain: "Our teacher Wang (Wang Shuhui's first batch of students called him Shizun, and the students who followed him were all corrected by Wang Shuhui) taught us that things are constantly developing and changing. Therefore, people's ideas and practices must also change with the change of things. β
"Thousands of years ago, our ancestors were still living a life of drinking blood, but today we can use fire to cook food. Thousands of years ago, our ancestors were still living a life of slash-and-burn farming, but today we can work with iron tools and bring water from rivers and lakes to water wheels for agricultural irrigation. β
Therefore, from this point of view, the ancestor who invented fire is a kind of revolution in the past Ru Mao's blood-drinking life. The ancestors who invented iron and waterwheels are a revolution in the slash-and-burn life of the past. The continuous development and progress of mankind are accompanied by countless revolutions. That's what we will say about revival, that revolution is everywhere. β
"The teacher is really talented, and he can think of such a truth in the elderly. That's amazing! β
Ma Xianglin is now almost Wang Shuhui's brainless fan. During the day, he learned several revolutionary songs of the Fuxing Society, and as soon as he was influenced by these songs, Ma Xianglin's admiration for Wang Shuhui skyrocketed.
Therefore, when I heard that this was the truth that Wang Shuhui said, half of it was because I felt that there was indeed a real truth hidden in it, and half of it was because of Wang Shuhui's reverence. Praise and affirmation, Ma Xianglin blurted out.
There is a lot of truth in that. However, you are about to come into contact with other friendly forces, so you should not sing those songs yet, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble to your teacher. β
Ma Bangping didn't know why his sister summoned the representatives of the Revival Society at night, but he still reminded Lu Yue from the perspective of officialdom. Seeing that Lu Yue cautiously agreed to his request, Ma Bangping let Lu Yue go back.
When his nephew Ma Xianglin and Lu Yue left the big tent with great interest, Ma Bangping and Ma Minping both looked at Qin Liangyu suspiciously, hoping to hear from her mouth the reason why she suddenly summoned the representatives of the Revival Association
