Chapter 455, Nanjing is a big burden
Excavating earth, dismantling and transporting building materials in Shenyang's abandoned city, ramming the ground, etc., these infrastructure work are the heaviest manual labor. More than 26,000 laborers of all nationalities, who have received only about half a month of simple training, are the main targets of these tasks.
This is not because the Renaissance Army is unwilling to do heavy physical labor with them, but simply because they are unable to do a lot of other work that requires a certain amount of skill, such as reading drawings, making budgets, making plans, doing surveys, installing equipment, and driving machines, which have a certain level of technical content.
But even though these purely manual labor are indeed tiring, for Huang Lige, the most tiring thing is still cultural learning. Of course, the root cause of Huang Lige's slow progress in cultural learning is mainly due to his lack of ideological motivation.
From Marlows's hierarchy of needs theory, being able to eat and clothe is the lowest level of physiological need. At this lowest level of physiological needs, Huang Lige has not been fully satisfied. For example, after becoming a Baath laborer, his physical needs for food and clothing were satisfied, but his physical needs for better food, better clothing, and even a wife were not met now.
Of course, at this stage, the most basic physiological needs of eating better and dressing better can only be met in the units directly under the Baath Party, such as factories and farms and the army, and the number of people in the whole of North China who can obtain this level of physiological needs is only about one million.
As for the same minimum level of physical necessity such as marrying a wife, even in the direct units of the Ba'ath Party, in those factories, farms, and the army, only those with more than three years of work experience will be given priority, and they will be arranged to marry them organizationally.
In Maros's hierarchy of needs theory, in addition to physiological needs, there are five levels: safety needs, social needs, respect needs and self-actualization. In the current environment of the last years of the Ming Dynasty or in the primary industrialized social environment of the Baath Party, according to the actual situation, the learning of cultural knowledge can be said to be at the highest level of self-realization.
Huang Lige's current status is a temporary worker in a Baath labor camp whose basic physical needs have not been fully met, and if we look at Marlows's hierarchy of needs theory, Huang Lige does not have the need to learn cultural knowledge.
However, according to the system of labor camps, only after completing literacy education can one become a temporary worker out of the labor camp and become a production and construction soldier in the Baath Party's Production and Construction Corps. In this way, it is tantamount to saying that the needs of the highest level have become the basic conditions for the needs of the lower levels.
From this point of view, Huang Lige's lack of motivation in cultural learning is understandable.
But the Baath Party wants to transform the people of the agrarian society into the people of the industrial society, which cannot be measured by the pseudo-scientific theories of the mature industrial society.
Moreover, the Baath Party has truly advanced and scientific working methods for the transformation of the agricultural population.
Two months after he entered the labor camp, Huang Lige's enthusiasm for learning was completely reversed because the ideological education work of the Baath Party and government work departments was in full swing in the labor camp.
In particular, after the release of a film called "The Whip" (one of the series directed by Wang Shuhui at a modern think tank dedicated to class oppression and exploitation), which was dedicated to the miserable life of Mongolian herdsmen under the exploitation and oppression of the aristocracy, was released in the labor camp, Huang Lige's thinking changed completely.
Huang Lige, who has just lived to be in his twenties, but has been a slave all his life, has a huge resonance with the image of the little herdsman who died tragically under the whip of Master Taiji in the movie.
Huang Lige, who was still stumbling in Chinese, was the first of more than 50 colleagues in his class at a grievance meeting, and talked about his personal experience as a slave of a Mongolian tribe and a slave of a Jurchen magnat.
Huang Lige's speech caused a huge repercussion in the class. The Mongol and Jurchen laborers, who had not dared to open their mouths to speak, began to speak actively. At the grievance meeting, they wept bitterly about their past misery, and at the same time made bloody and tearful accusations against those aristocratic lords who bullied and oppressed them.
Because of the tremendous response of Huang Lige's speech, the Shenyang Military Management Committee, which received the report, specially selected a group of laborers of all nationalities with outstanding performance and formed a special propaganda group to give lectures in various units in Shenyang.
After watching a series of films reflecting the class exploitation and oppression within various nationalities, and listening to the speeches of the labor representatives of various nationalities based on their own actual experiences, not only did the revolutionary consciousness of the people of all nationalities in Shenyang awaken, but it was also a profound ideological education for the cadres and masses of the Baath Party in the area.
Huang Lige himself has also undergone a thorough ideological transformation through this ideological and political education work. Since then, Huang Lige, who had lived as a slave of the Mongolian nobles and the Jurchen aristocracy, ushered in a complete change of fate. He was favored by the political work cadres of the Renaissance Army and began to receive key training.
Wang Shuhui, who was riding the warship of the Yangtze River Fleet of the Fuxing Navy from Wuchang to Yangzhou, ready to check the progress of the work of the East Route Army of the northward plan, read the telegram in his hand and showed a smile of relief on his face.
He said to Meng Li, who was traveling with him to Yangzhou:
"Why do I always emphasize that class contradictions are the main contradictions in class society? Comrade Huang Lige's example illustrates this problem. In the face of class contradictions, there is no national distinction. The Mongolian people were to be exploited and oppressed by the Mongol rulers, and the Jurchen people were to be exploited and oppressed by the Jurchen rulers. In the big family of the Chinese nation, we must unite, absorb, and transform all the oppressed and exploited people of all nationalities, so that they can unite into the big family of the Chinese nation. ”
"For this point, the party committee should focus on publicity."
"It's important to distinguish between friend and foe. After the oppressors and exploiters of all nationalities and the rulers and careerists of all nationalities have been eliminated, it is a very important task to transform the exploited and oppressed people of all nationalities into a part of the Chinese nation, teach them to speak Chinese, write Chinese characters, identify with Chinese civilization and culture, and participate in the construction of industrial China. ”
What kind of teachers there are, what kind of students there are, Wang Shuhui himself knows that the ideological root of chauvinism in the heads of the party members and cadres of the Baath Party is himself.
As one of Wang Shuhui's first disciples, Meng Li has lived by Wang Shuhui's side for many years. His thinking naturally has the ideological characteristics of chauvinism. So when he heard Wang Shuhui's words, he replied:
"I have already made a special request to the party committee of the southern Liaoning base area for this work. Carrying out class struggle through class education, realizing the identity of compatriots of all nationalities with the Chinese nation through class struggle, and thoroughly transforming them into members of the Chinese nation who can speak and write Chinese characters and contribute to the construction of industrialized China are now the key contents of ideological and political work in the southern Liaoning base area. ”
The Baath Party's national policy is entirely based on industrialization. For the Baath Party, cultural unification has no other profound purpose, simply because the process of industrialization has the characteristics of unity in the need for talents. If the Ba'ath Party separates other nationalities from each other and engages in a policy of protecting the cultures and customs of other nationalities, it will be completely kicking those nationalities out of China's industrialization process.
And under the Ba'ath system, anyone who is not able to adapt to industrialization is not allowed to exist. Those who resist the process of industrialization and the transformation of industrialization are the enemies of the Baath Party. No matter what status, nationality, or status such people have, they have no other fate than to be completely destroyed in their bodies and minds.
Wang Shuhui himself is not without the spirit of humanitarianism. However, in his view, the greatest humanitarianism is to involve all people in the process of industrialization. In this most thorough revolution that pushed China from an agricultural civilization to an industrial civilization, Wang Shuhui adhered to the tough principle that "revolution is not a dinner party".
Of course, the things that Meng Li focuses on are not as macro as Wang Shuhui. As the director of the Standing Committee of the Baath Party, he played the role of a concrete job of explaining and analyzing Wang Shuhui's thoughts and conveying and teaching them to all party members.
At the current level of the Ba'ath Party's top brass, all of them lack the ability to make decisions and exercise overall leadership over the Ba'ath Party. So the things they focus on are more specific.
For example, after Meng Li finished answering Wang Shuhui's words, he began to discuss with Wang Shuhui the Baath Party's policy on the Jiangnan region.
Emperor Chongzhen suddenly fled south, which caught the Baath Party by surprise. No one expected that as the legitimate leader of the Southern Ming regime, Emperor Chongzhen would behave so decisively, directly throwing the mess of Nanjing behind him, and he went south to Hangzhou with the few troops who could still obey his command.
According to the opinion of the top level of the Baath Party, even if Emperor Chongzhen went to Nanjing, the influence he could have was not too great.
The Jiangnan region, which is home to the largest number of vested interests in all of China, is completely controlled by a highly organized group of big landlords and big businessmen. Once Emperor Chongzhen, who did not have any descendant power, arrived in the Jiangnan region, he was very likely to become a puppet of the Jiangnan Shidafu group.
According to the Ba'ath Party's reasoning, the ambitious and talented feudal emperor was likely to be bogged down in a chaotic power struggle.
According to the report of the Baath Party's intelligence agency in the Jiangnan region, after Emperor Chongzhen arrived in Nanjing, he fought fiercely against the local nobles, bureaucracy, and scholar clique in Nanjing. However, Zhu Youzhen was completely at a disadvantage in this fierce conflict. Even in the Forbidden City of Nanjing, Zhu Youzhen could not find enough brocade guards to execute the court staff on the minister.
Therefore, in this case, Zhu Youzhen was able to break the situation and organize the fish belly army in Nanjing, which was completely controlled by the aristocratic group and the civilian clique, to send it to the mouth of the Fuxing Army to die, and then resolutely smashed the chessboard after exhausting these troops, and led thousands of troops to Hangzhou to create a new situation, which made the Baxing Party completely unexpected.
Of course, it is perfectly normal for the Baath Party to be caught off guard by this situation. After all, according to the habit of the Baath Party, they did not pay any attention to the power struggle within the feudal dynasty. For them, the internal struggle and internal friction within the feudal dynasty were completely a process of their own destruction. Politically, militarily, or economically, their group poses no threat to the Baath Party.
For the Baath Party, the trouble they had to face was nothing more than an unplanned event in the city of Nanjing, which was taken over by the Marines of the Yangtze River Fleet.
The Baath Party is very persistent in construction. This is determined by the Baathistist status.
With the land and the population, it is necessary to build and transform the land and the population. In the process of construction, it will take over the local resources and population in an all-round way, and finally realize the control of the local area through the transformation of the population and the construction of the local area, which is the thinking of the Ba'ath Party.
This is also the reason why, after all the hostile forces in North China have fled, the Baath Party is still steadily and impatiently taking over North China in accordance with the established plan and steps, and has not made any effort to build a "new imperial court."
A population that has not been comprehensively reformed and educated is not an effective population, and a territory that has not been industrialized is not a useful territory, and the Baath Party is now so mechanical and dogmatic.
At the end of the Ming Dynasty, the population of the Nanjing area was about two million. According to the Ba'ath Party's customary calculations, according to the standard of one person for every 50 people, if we want to complete the industrial transformation and training of the 2 million people in Nanjing, we will need more than 40,000 Ba'ath Party cadres and workers.
In general, the reception of large cities like this is done by the military. This is because the first step in the reception of regions and cities is to transform and train the local people through military management. For example, the work of receiving large cities such as Kaifeng and Luoyang in the central region of Henan was completed by the troops.
Because of the popularization of repeating rifles and rocket launchers in the grass-roots units, and especially because of the overall improvement in the quality of the Ba'ath Party's grass-roots commanders, the ratio of personnel in the Baath Army in battle at the present stage has reached the level of about 1:80 when the radio has begun to be equipped at the company level.
In other words, the Revival Army, which is tactically flexible, has strong athletic capabilities, has sufficient intelligence, and has advanced weapons, can defeat the enemy's troops of about 20,000 men with one company at the current stage. The military strikes against Daishan and Dolgon units that the Liaoning Southern Military Region is now presiding over are almost all carried out by independent battalion-level units.
From this point of view, taking over the population and territory, and transforming and building it, is much more manpower than the actual military mission of the Baath Army.
Under these circumstances, the Baath Party was not interested in taking over Nanking.
