【214】Thousands of miles of rivers and mountains open a new face (18)

The more Master Ma spoke, the louder he became, and the entire Fuguang Teahouse stopped talking, and everyone looked at him and listened to him.

Master Ma became more and more proud, took a sip of the tea brewed in front of him, and continued: "Let's just say that the new science training class is located, the lama temple in the satin alley, and now none of the lamas and monks in the temple are gone, and only the new science training class is left." Do you know where the lamas have gone? ”

The man who started to ask questions looked nervous, his eyes wide open, and asked, "Where did you go?" ”

Master Ma looked around left and right, and said triumphantly after making a full posture: "I heard my son say that all the lamas there taught the PLA to arrest and build a railway!" ”

The old man sitting opposite Mr. Ma pretended to beat his chest and said: "Evil, the monk and Taoist, the prince Beizi, and the gentry and officials will not let go, and they will all be sent out to repair the railroad of Laoshizi, what do these green hairs want to do?" ”

When Master Ma heard this, he sneered: "Let me say a word, Master Xu, don't like to listen to it, I said a long time ago, this Great Qing Kingdom is going to end, isn't it over now?" The big guy is trying to find his own way out as soon as possible, don't complain about being bored. ”

Hearing this, that Xu Ye immediately lowered his head and stopped talking, just blindly drinking tea.

At this moment, a man with braided hair walked in at the door of Fuguang Teahouse, and the shopkeeper hurriedly stepped forward.

There was someone in the teahouse, and he hurriedly greeted: "Master Zhen, you are here." ”

This braided old man's hairstyle is strange, the hair in the front has not grown yet, but the braid in the back is cut by Qi Gen, and there is more than a finger of hair dragging behind it, which looks like a duck's butt.

Master Yu ordered tea, walked directly to Mr. Ma's table, and was not too crowded, and sat down on a stool with a middle-aged man.

"Master Zhen, you came out of the palace, tell me, how is the emperor now?" That Xu Ye remembered the emperor in his heart, and asked as soon as he opened his mouth.

Master Yu said teasingly: "Now it is the Provisional Government of the Chinese Socialist Revolution that is in charge of the world, and a few days ago I gave a lesson to the eunuchs and maids in our palace, saying that there will be no emperor in the future, and the people's chairman is the largest, and now the chairman is Yao Zaofan Chairman Yao, and the military generals under him are like clouds, and the civil officials are mainly Li Hongzhang and Master Li. ”

"Master Zhen, didn't you stay in the palace and continue to work on errands?"

Master Yu sighed and said, "Fortunately, no! The new government is lenient, except for the big eunuchs and palace mothers who bought the stewards and were locked up and interrogated about the reasons for corruption and perversion of the law, none of the rest were killed, and the little eunuchs and little palace maids were all given to the coils and put home, I have worked in the palace all my life, and I don't care about things when I get old, and I was not on duty in the palace when the People's Liberation Army entered the city, but now I am spared. ”

"What about the emperor? Where is the emperor? The Manchu Dynasty was civil and military, and no one stood up to take care of it? Xu Ye continued to ask.

Master Yu glared and said, "It's still full of civil and military affairs!" Now under the rule of the Provisional Government of the Chinese Socialist Revolution, there is military management everywhere, land reform is taking place everywhere in the countryside, counter-revolutionaries are being killed, and how many children of the official gentry and landlords are now arrested and used for hard labor, who dares to mention the emperor? Isn't that self-inflicted? ”

Xu Ye said angrily: "Master Xu, you used to be a slave of the royal family, and you have been favored by the emperor for a long time, but now you actually cut your braids, but you know that you have broken the rules of your ancestors!" ”

Master Yu sneered: "Now that the new government wants to build the Palace Museum, and the official document has been posted, I have worked in the palace all my life, and I am the most familiar with it in the palace." But the official document said that if you want to apply for a job, you have to cut your braids, I wonder if I can go tomorrow to see if I can mix up an errand, as for the ancestral rules, can that thing be eaten as a meal? If I don't go, who will pay me? ”

Xu Ye said indignantly: "What kind of new government, even the emperor doesn't have it, so can it be good?" Now that the money and food of the hardcore crops have been stopped, and the flag soldiers are called to fend for themselves, this heart is too poisonous! I have long seen that Li Hongzhang is not a good thing, colluding with foreigners and thieves, and the wolf is a traitor. It's just that Devil Six is a fool, he was deceived by him, and now he is ruining the emperor's business! ”

The people around him heard him frighteningly, and they hurriedly walked one by one, changing places and changing places, and did not dare to sit with him again.

Master Ma said dissatisfiedly: "In the past, half of the money and food were deducted before it was issued, what is the use?" If I don't send it now, I don't think it's anything.

Not to mention anything else, the new government has raided the city's big tobacco houses and brothels, yesterday a public trial at the front door shot more than 70 tobacco houses and brothels Wang Ba lamb, you didn't go to see, it's a pity, the onlookers are clapping their hands and applauding, there are more than a dozen prostitutes who are forced to be prostitutes, those prostitutes who have been tortured by them all day long are crying and complaining to their faces, and the people below are also crying when they listen to it, according to the charges pronounced by the public trial, it is really enough to kill ten heads. Among the people who were shot were a few fake foreign devils who were preaching, but they were secretly selling big tobacco paste, and now they have been found out, and the new government actually did not give face to the foreigners, so they were shot on the spot.

I think that based on this, the new government must be stronger than the Great Qing State! ”

Xu Ye scolded: "No matter how little the flag salary is, it is better than nothing!" Earn your own living, that's not to starve us to death! Kill a few Wang Ba who sell big cigarettes and buttocks, then you can rule the country and level the world? Hum! I think these green hairs have offended foreigners, and their lives will not be good! Sooner or later, the foreigners will come back, and this time, the foreigners may have to burn the Jinluan Palace! ”

The old man who changed the table picked up the tea bowl that had just been given, and took a sip and said: "The Great Qing Kingdom is now over, if the banner people don't find an errand, they will starve to death sooner or later." From now on, if anyone doesn't open their eyes in the future, I think sooner or later there will be a bloody disaster. The new government, the knife is fast, now it is busy fighting local tyrants and dividing the land, arresting the emperor's relatives and relatives, punishing corrupt officials and corrupt officials, and when it is idle, I don't know how to clean up those who have grievances, let's wait and see. As for whether the foreigners will come or not, it is uncertain. ”

Master Ma said across the table: "Master Yu is reasonable, I understand it, now I have to take advantage of the trend and cut my braids sooner or later." The foreigners are coming, and there is a new government to fight with them, so we ordinary people should store more rice and grain, and survive the days of changing the dynasty in front of us. ”

When Xu Ye heard these words, he angrily picked up the tea bowl and drank it all, stood up and walked out of the teahouse.

As soon as Mr. Xu went out, a few more tea guests came in, and all of them said "the Qing Dynasty is over" and the like, and there were news from all walks of life, some talking about the new law, some talking about the new departments of the new government, some talking about the railroad being built, and some talking about the newly opened hospitals and elementary schools............

Master Shi and his son listened in the corner for a long time, and finally understood, now that these thieves have taken Beijing, I am afraid that the Qing Kingdom is already finished.

At this time, the voice of the newsboy came from the street outside: "Selling newspapers and selling newspapers, People's Daily, two pennies a piece, North China has accelerated the completion of land reform, preparing to launch a large-scale production and construction campaign next year, Shandong has promoted a large-scale inspection, and promoted the movement of filling in the countryside, Chairman Yao congratulated 300,000 young people in North China on joining the People's Liberation Army, and North China has launched a campaign to prevent drought and prepare for famine, production and conservation......

Master Shi hurriedly asked Shi Futing to buy a newspaper and come back, and for a while, everyone in the teahouse was rushing to go out to buy newspapers.

After eating the rotten meat noodles, Mr. Shi carefully flipped through the newspaper and sighed from time to time: "This day, it has really changed......

The weather in July has become hot, and Zuo Zongtang is holding a letter from Yao Fan in his hand and is reading it for the second time.

"Mr. Zuo, the Manchu feudal dynasty has been completely destroyed in the wave of the people's revolution, the land reform with the unlimited support of the masses is constantly being carried out in depth, the strength of the People's Liberation Army is rapidly strengthening, and the formation of the people's government is being carried out rapidly every day.

In my opinion, there are three heroes in modern China, Zeng Guofan, Zuo Zongtang, and Li Hongzhang.

People often say in private that Zeng Guofan is a man, Zuo Zongtang is a worker, and Li Hongzhang is an official. Personally, I admire you the most.

Zeng Gong has long since passed away, Li Hongzhang is helping the people's government to establish the CPPCC, and you are quelling the rebellion in the northwest. Now that the Qing Dynasty has been overthrown, your counterinsurgency work in the northwest is under many pressures such as money, food, and soldiers. In my opinion, as soon as the People's Liberation Army arrives, these pressures can be gradually dissipated.

The crux of the matter now is whether you are fighting for the Qing Dynasty to quell the rebellion or for the peaceful reunification of the country.

I don't believe that you have any nostalgia for the Qing Dynasty, when you were in the Hunan Shogunate, Emperor Xianfeng actually ordered the then school governor Qian Baoqing to investigate you with a secret decree, and the emperor said in the holy decree that "if there is any illegal thing in Zuo, the law will be corrected on the spot." It can be seen that in the eyes of the emperor, you are just a dog that can do errands. In the past ten years, except for the change in official ranks, the status of slaves has not changed.

The establishment of the new government is a groundbreaking event for the Chinese nation, and for the first time in 5,000 years, the people of Chinese have entered the era of democracy, and if you are willing to join the new government and become a member of the people, we communists will very much welcome you and are willing to warmly accept you.

Like Li Hongzhang, you can continue to make great contributions to the country and the nation in the CPPCC, develop science, run enterprises, build railways, and strengthen the country and enrich the people.

At present, the domestic situation, the war in the northwest has not subsided, but the British have to come from the sea to stir up the situation. To tell you the truth, I'm not worried about the British, isn't it just a war, and this time I will discipline them and there will be no return.

Our Communist Party and the People's Liberation Army are political parties and armies that have grown up in the course of war, and it is our attribute to become stronger the more we fight, and although we are not warlike, we have never been afraid of war, and we can always be tempered and developed from war; from the point of view of dialectics, this is the benefit of struggle.

The British may have to come in the tens of thousands this time, and these foreigners are pathetic, who have crossed the seas to invade other countries, and died in a foreign land in vain, and I have no fear of the destruction they will face.

But although I am not worried about the demise of foreign invaders, I am worried about you. You have the lives of countless good Chinese men in your hands, and once there is a mistake, it will be the lives of countless heroes who will be sent to the northwest in vain.

Therefore, I hope that you will do your best to promise to hand over your military power, carry out a peaceful handover with the PLA, and let the PLA carry out the next northwest operation, so that your Hunan and Huai armies will accept the reorganization.

The Chinese do not fight the Chinese, and the only enemies of the Chinese now are the foreign powers and the lackeys they have cultivated in China; Agubo and others in Xinjiang have colluded with the Russians and the British, thinking that they can take advantage of the shade with their backs to the big trees, and carry out their plot to split China.

Mr. Zuo, I have long admired your name and hope to meet you in Beijing as soon as possible. A pot of turbid wine, a family feast, and a heart-to-heart conversation with you.

The supplies sent this time are for you to continue to counter-insurgency, including black powder and guns made by the Tianjin Manufacturing Bureau, as well as 100,000 yuan of silver coins newly made by the Central Bank Mint, one yuan is equivalent to one tael of silver in circulation. Due to the great drought in North China, there is a shortage of grain, so I can't provide you with it, but what you have implemented in the northwest is military reclamation and raising grain on the spot, and the northwest region can still afford to raise 30,000 or 50,000 people. ”
