Chapter 383: East Adaptation 2
It's not easy to love this feeling, but it's easy to hate it. After all, love is a process of construction, while hate is a process of destruction. Construction is always much more difficult than destruction.
The Baath Party wants the ordinary soldiers and people of Dongjiang Town to love and serve the people, and this point is easy to achieve in terms of understanding. After all, they themselves are born from the people, and to love the people and serve the people is to love and serve themselves. But the unity of understanding does not give them a real rational identification with the ideas of the Ba'ath Party.
All consciousness comes from practice, and it was only through continuous practice in the past 10 years that the Baath Party has thoroughly established the consciousness of serving the people.
Establishing the consciousness of serving the people is a process of building an ideological system. Such a process requires a lot of practice and a lot of time. Therefore, from this point of view, for the ordinary soldiers and ordinary people of the Dongjiang Army after the completion of the reorganization, the concept of serving the people cannot get a strong response from them.
To serve the people means to make the soldiers and people of the Dongjiang Army love and protect the people. From the perspective of real experience, years of exploitation and oppression have greatly inhibited the psychological love of these people. But on the flip side, a difficult environment may make people lack the feeling of love, but the feeling of hatred is accumulated in their hearts for many years.
It was for this reason that the grievance meeting resonated emotionally among the ordinary soldiers and civilians of the Dongjiang Army, who had just eaten well and put on clothes and shoes under the Ba'ath Party takeover. And at the public trial meeting and the exposé and criticism meeting, when those officials were dejected and confessed their crimes of embezzling military salaries and spending all their time on the high platform, even those soldiers and ordinary people who had been completely numb to their feelings in the heavy work and hard work were completely detonated with hatred in their hearts.
If it weren't for the Baath Party's resolute decision not to allow the angry masses to kill those who were on trial without permission, and that they must be tried and executed by the Ba'ath Party, the angry soldiers and civilians of the Dongjiang Army would have beaten those Dongjiang town leaders to death long ago.
Even with the efforts of the Baath Army soldiers to maintain order, the warlords of Dongjiang Town, who had been tried and condemned by the public, were dying with stones and clods of earth when they were hung on the gallows.
The Ba'ath Army is a contingent of the poor, and the Baath Party is an organization of the poor, and it is impossible for the masses of the people to believe it thoroughly if such words are only spoken and propagated only through the means of food and clothing.
Only when the Baath Party really comes forward and hangs alive those executioners and reactionaries who have insulted, bullied, oppressed and exploited the masses of the people, will the cheering masses of the people really believe in you and support you.
Before the masses of the people truly learn cultural knowledge and are completely liberated, they will only judge who is truly in charge of their decisions and who is truly in support of them.
When the Ba'ath Party kills those landlords and gentry and those officials and generals in front of the people, the people will believe that the Baath Party really wants to make a complete break with the feudal ruling class. For the masses of the people, openly killing a local tyrant or a ruler such as an official or a military general would have a better effect than a hundred theoretical propaganda campaigns by the Baath Party.
For the masses of the people, the Baath Party is not simply pacifying and suppressing them, and then reuniting with the original rich people who are officials, and the most direct evidence is that the Baath Party has carried out the most direct destruction of these members of the feudal ruling class.
To put it in layman's terms, the Baath Party is handing over a "letter of nomination" to the masses through the process of eliminating those feudal rulers. Only when the Ba'ath Party really fights the local tyrants and landlords and tries the feudal officials and reactionary officers, and only when they really do so, will the masses of the people believe that the Ba'ath Party is the one who stands with them and makes decisions for them.
The ordinary soldiers and people of Dongjiang Town, like all the exploited and oppressed masses of the people in China now, are full of hatred in their hearts.
Like the ordinary people of all China, the ordinary soldiers and common people of Dongjiang Town hated the feudal ruling class, the feudal bureaucrats, and the landlords and gentry. However, the difference between the ordinary soldiers and ordinary people in Dongjiang Town and the ordinary people of China is that they are on the fringes of the post-Jin Jurchen regime, and they have not only class hatred but also national hatred in their hearts.
This kind of class hatred and national hatred made the ordinary soldiers and ordinary people in Dongjiang Town quickly develop a thorough identification and support for the Baath Party after being reorganized. In the course of political education, cultural education, and military skills education for the soldiers of the Dongjiang Renaissance Army established after the reorganization, the Baath Party is also constantly strengthening the soldiers' understanding of this kind of class hatred and national hatred.
Some of the more radical political cadres in the Baxing Army mixed many theories of social Darwinism in their education of the soldiers of the newly established Dongjiang Renaissance Army.
These theories did not have a great impact on the fighters who lacked the corresponding experience in the Hubei base area in the past. However, in the special environment of Dongjiang Town, the combination of social Darwinism and the reality of national oppression and national exploitation of the post-Jin Jurchen had a great impact on the entire Dongjiang Renaissance Army.
Originally, as refugees from southeastern Liao, as direct victims of the reactionary policy of exploitation and oppression of the Later Jin Jurchen people, the soldiers and people of Dongjiang Town had a large number of personal grievances against the Later Jin Jurchen regime. However, after the education of those radical political cadres, their personal hatred of the Houjin Nuzhen quickly rose into a great hatred related to the life and death of the entire nation.
Zhao's eldest son, originally from Fèng City, fled to Dongjiang Town with several relatives of his clan after his failed resistance in the Houjin Ethnic Massacre.
Zhao Changzi didn't know why Tartar wanted to kill his parents and brothers. But it was because the Tartars killed their parents and brothers and slaughtered their own village that he resolutely joined the local rebellion. After the failure of the uprising, Zhao's eldest son took refuge with the rest of the people in Dongjiang Town. After so many years, he didn't know why the Tartars killed his parents and brothers, but he just remembered that he and the Tartars had a blood feud between killing their father and mother.
It was because of this blood feud that Zhao's eldest son persisted in Dongjiang Town for four years. Four years of hard and impoverished military life in Dongjiang Town did not change Zhao's eldest son's hatred for Houjin Nuzhen in the slightest. This hatred is deepened in the constant fighting.
"Natural selection, survival of the fittest......", "the reproduction and survival of the population must have enough space and resources", these words Zhao Changzi has never heard of, but he can be confirmed from the instructor's simple, universal, and countless examples around them.
The question of "why did the Tartars kill their parents and brothers" that had been bothering Zhao Changzi was clearly understood in the truth taught to him by the instructor: Liaodong is only so big, and if the Tartars want to survive and have children, they must take away the land, food, and everything from the Han people. The Tartars wanted to ensure their survival and reproduction by exterminating the Han Chinese.
Thinking about this truth, and then thinking of the bullying and insults that those officers and lords had on him, Zhao Changzi had a voice in his heart that was getting louder and louder.
"Do I deserve to be slaughtered by the Jurchen Tartars? Do I deserve to be bullied and oppressed by officials? Why should I bear all this suffering? ”
"yes, why?"
