Chapter 303: Violent Revolution (4)
Revolution is, first of all, a redistribution of social resources.
Yang Hao's instillation of revolutionary ideas into the members of the "Huaxing Society" was different from the past, not only in terms of the change in the ruling power, but for the first time in history, the power was truly given to the vast majority of the low-level civilians.
In concrete operations, the first step is to involve civilians in legal affairs and establish legal enforcement institutions that can protect the rights and interests of civilians. Take advantage of the opportunity of land redistribution to win the hearts and minds of the people, and incidentally free them from the original patriarchal system. Taking advantage of the opportunity of the violent revolution, the fundamental concept of establishing the law of the state over the law of the family was established, and a violent attack was carried out first.
The previous emperors took turns to do it, and the state of the scholars, who were always at the top of the ruling pyramid, would be completely changed. No matter whether they are convinced or not, no matter how many sour articles they write in the future to complain about the "unfair treatment" they have received, their superiority mentality will eventually be broken. And those civilians who are thousands of years older than they are under their feet will gradually gain equal opportunities for equal education to them.
Of course, the current can only be said to be an opportunity, and if you want to fully achieve the long-term goal, don't think about it in a hundred years.
At the end of the nineteenth century, the concept of the unshakable status of the aristocracy and the upper class was common in almost every country. The aristocratic blood of various countries is full of the ruling class and the army, even like the army of Tsarist Russia, the officers and commanders are corrupt and degenerate, trampling the soldiers like dirt, they all think that is quite normal.
Therefore, it seems that the ideas of the revolutionaries of the rebel army are becoming more and more deviant and full of impact. It is more radical than the so-called "equal wealth and poor, equal to the noble and low" of the rebellion of previous dynasties, but the implementation is far more perfect than theirs.
This is thanks to the complete set of rebellion technical manuals that Yang Hao brought over. Plus a huge financial backing. Perfect preparation. Ensure that every place is laid, the order can be rectified step by step and the management system can be transformed. sufficient food and materials to ensure the stability of the market; The trial dealt with the stubborn landlords and bullies who were extremely angry with the people, so as to absorb the hearts of the people, and use the proceeds of the seizure of homes to solve the problems of land, employment, and public facilities construction.
Although things are very tedious to do, there are basically no aftermaths. Civilians who participated in the trial themselves were enthusiastic and supportive. The land was allocated and the compensation funds were obtained. Participating in the production and construction of the rebel army was rewarded, and the majority of civilians could only support and support it to the end.
The basis of this qiē is the strength of the revolutionary army in the guise of the rebel army, which is strictly disciplined, fair, and honest. At the same time, when carrying out the land reform work, it can control the situation and scale, and will not lead to the spread of the mob mentality and the expansion of the crackdown.
In any case, many of the landlords have accumulated their wealth over several generations, and their legitimate rights and interests must be equally protected. Regardless of the origin, it will definitely not work to be overturned on the ground.
Order, unshakable order from beginning to end, has always been the top priority that Yang Hao has repeatedly made clear. This. Those who are personally involved in the action know how difficult it is to control it.
Ding Weifen witnessed it with his own eyes. Dozens of criminals were drowned out by wave after wave of shouts, and several of them were actually scared to death! The rest were then dragged out of the city and shot one by one, and with each shot, a corpse fell in exchange for a sky-shattering cheer!
The execution was over, and the anger of tens of thousands of people was already very obvious, their red eyes were round, and they were trembling with excitement, but they were full of energy! With a wave of their arm, they can tear an accused to shreds for no reason!
The crazy power of the gangsters is so terrifying!
The ancients said that "people kill and turn the world upside down", which is not an exaggeration! When the impulses formed by countless people converge, mountains can be dug down, the sea can be filled, the ground can be pierced, and the sky can be split! The mighty force of a flood bursting a levee was enough to crush an obstacle that stood in front of it. Even most of the time, there is no distinction between good and bad, good or evil!
Ding Weifen shuddered when he saw it!
He finally knew why countless rebellions and uprisings in history could easily sweep countless civilians. Because under the rule of the foolish people, their thinking is too simple, and their life is too difficult, and the slightest bit of household belongings is gone, and they will immediately throw themselves into it without thinking, and go forward one after another in chaos and madness, turning into a stepping stone for careerists to climb to the top.
Just like these people in front of them, like a keg of fire that is about to explode, only someone needs to polish the spark.
Fortunately, Xu Yanzhuo had already taken precautions, and thousands of black-clothed soldiers immediately rushed over from around the court, and a team of bayonets separated them and drove them around. During the whole process, no one resisted, and no one made a noise.
On the way back, Xu Yanzhuo detailed the basic conditions for achieving such a point: "A well-executed command center, 2,000 well-trained soldiers, meticulous reconnaissance and research in advance, and a large number of local evil forces. This is a necessary condition to ensure the implementation of the county's innovation policy. Without one, the difficulty will increase several times. ”
Ding Weifen thought so. If anything goes wrong in it, such as starting to beat the wrong local tyrant and inferior gentry, and killing a great and good man with a high reputation among the people, it will not only cause the gentry class to join forces to resist, but the people will also be afraid and refuse to accept it.
In a situation such as just now, if the masses are called upon to kill a villain and share his wealth and property and occupy his house, the people will be even more greedy after tasting the sweetness. Once the noise is raised, the former honest children can become thugs in the blink of an eye, robbing and killing people under various pretexts, sweeping all directions. Within a few days, the inside and outside of the county town was full of smoke and corpses, and then the crazy mob rushed around like locusts, disrupting the order and construction. When the time comes, all that will be left behind will be devastation.
Once the young revolutionary forces have become public enemies, they will inevitably not be able to develop and grow. There are too many such lessons that have happened in history.
Ding Weifen had a deeper understanding of the content emphasized by Yang Hao in his lectures, and he felt that Tutor Yang was far-sighted, and his blazing eyes seemed to be able to penetrate time and space and gain insight.
He immediately thought of the other counties that he had learned before he came and had begun to riot, and hurriedly asked, "So what is the situation in several places in Shanxian County and Cao County?" ”
Xu Yanzhuo smiled bitterly: "It's completely messed up!" Since ancient times, the people of Caozhou have been fierce and martial. In recent years, land annexation has been excessive, and there have been more and more activities such as planting and selling opium, and it has become common for people to fight at every turn. The prefect Yuxian was ruthless and killed, but he still couldn't suppress it. Large and small bandits and thieves can have thousands of shares, which is why the 'Big Knife Society' has risen to replace the government to maintain local security. ”
"The previous time, Yuan Shikai led the Dingwu army to kill for a while, washed thousands of people, and scared away a lot. As soon as our rebel army raised the flag this time, there were rumors that they had come back to take revenge. The government in several counties could not organize enough troops, so they could only barely protect the county government, but countless people in the countryside took the opportunity to turn against each other, and all kinds of bandits and bandits swarmed, killing ...... in the dark. I guess when the two counties are arranged, they will be in ruins. ”
"Shhhh So strict! ”
Ding Weifen gasped, and his heart was terrified. This is just the beginning, and it is already so chaotic, so if the revolution is carried out on a large scale, will it not be a great chaos in the world?
Xu Yanzhuo said solemnly: "With the Qing court's military corruption today, the first division of our new army can sweep them all away. But what after that? It is inevitable that each province will be self-contained, and each prefecture, county, state department, and even a township and a town will become an independent small kingdom. At that time, even if there are millions of troops, it will not be a year or two to scatter them and clean them up one by one. Without the maintenance of a unified regime, those who are in power on all sides will inevitably seek external support. At that time, the great powers had an excuse to take the opportunity to intervene, and the trouble was not ordinarily big! ”
The Taiping Heavenly Kingdom was an example, when the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom became so powerful that the great powers openly banned the sale of anything other than opium, but only 12 out of 10 merchants actually complied with the ban. In Shanghai and Hong Kong, countless foreign businessmen sold arms at five or even ten times the price, and the most exaggerated American company was to sell even the entire ship and the arms.
Today's Great Qing Kingdom is already crumbling, and the great powers have sharpened their knives and are waiting to be carved up. Once there is no unified banner of the Qing government, the provinces will go their own way, and countless arms and foreign goods will immediately swallow up the vast majority of wealth.
At that time, even if Yang Hao had the ability to reach the sky, in the face of a mess of 400 million people, it would take a lifetime of energy to clean it up.
It's so hard to do big things. No matter how bad the Manchu Qing is, before taking control of the overall situation, Yang Hao still can't directly attack Huanglong.
Ding Weifen realized even more the difficulty of this revolutionary road. In the following time, he and the members of the "Huaxing Association" who came together all devoted themselves to practical work and experienced all kinds of things.
In his diary, he solemnly wrote down his feelings: "It is easy to build a rich and strong country. As long as the industry and commerce are developed and the military is strong. But if you want to change a people, it is extremely difficult. To fundamentally change the thinking of hundreds of millions of compatriots and establish a fair and just legal order, we must be cautious and cautious, and we must not be rash and careless. ”
In addition to the steady progress of the land reform movement in the two counties, Ding Weifen and Xu Yanzhuo teamed up to plan again, and formed a number of working groups with the members of the "Dadao Society" left by Liu Shirui, and went deep into various parts of Caozhou. In the name of the "Big Knife Society," they recruited troops and established local armed forces that implemented the concept of a revolutionary army. In the midst of increasing chaos, it quietly developed and grew, gradually consolidating the mass base and encroaching on the rule of the Manchus.
Members of the "Huaxing Society" scattered all over the country poured into this place from all directions to take turns to experience the affairs of the agrarian revolutionary movement, sum up their experiences, and discover their shortcomings. The huge Caozhou has become their practice base.
The headquarters of Lin Yongfang, the Sixth Regiment in Qingzhou, has been standing still, firmly attracting the living force of the Qing army in Shandong. Behind them, some of the backbones drawn from the first division are stepping up to train more troops, and the forces are quickly sweeping through all states and counties, and one highway and one railway are being built simultaneously, extending forward frantically!
Under the tremendous threat pressure of the Yang Hao group, the process of changing the law in the Qing court changed with each passing day, and under the wide opening of the way, the young reform faction led by Liang Qichao and others quickly formed, and boldly put forward the proposal of "constitutional monarchy".
Countless newspapers inside and outside the capital have been discussing the system of rule in China for more than 2,000 years, and it seems that it is about to come to an end. (To be continued......)
