Chapter 214: The Political View of the Grass People 1

For the common people, in their eyes, there is no best ruler, only better rulers. If you put this upside down, it is to choose a relatively non-rotten garlic in a pile of rotten garlic. This is the most simple and practical political concept of the common people.

Even in modern society, although the people at the bottom will complain about the people in power in their daily lives, after they have vented their dissatisfaction to the fullest, they still will not participate in any activities aimed at changing the status quo.

The favorite sentence of the common people is probably like this: "Although so-and-so is not very reliable, he is already the best one in that group." If you change someone else, you may not be able to play it. ”

You see, the masses of the people are so realistic. Their demand for politics is not to pursue the best and the best. They just choose the one that is not the worst out of a large number of choices.

As long as they are not the worst, the most perverted, the most bastard, they seem to be able to maintain their rule in the country of China.

The Chinese people are really the kindest people under the sky.

From this point of view, the "forbearance" of the Chinese people who have been able to live under the feudal system for more than 2,000 years, who have been able to endure two comprehensive and thorough high-pressure rule by foreign races, and who have been exploited and oppressed by the three mountains of imperialism, feudalism, and bureaucratic capitalism for a long time in modern history is absolutely the first in the world.

In many cases, if it were not for the fact that the rulers had made the country really bad, or if the rulers could not even guarantee the people's most basic right to survival, the Chinese people would never have embarked on the road of rebellion.

In fact, what lies hidden under the seemingly forbearant and cowardly appearance of the Chinese people is the deepest contempt of the Chinese people for the rulers of all dynasties. The phrase "meat eaters despise" can very well explain the mentality of the Chinese people towards all rulers.

In the final analysis, the change of dynasty is indeed a new choice for the people. However, that is just a process in which the old rulers and the new rulers compare and choose, and the Chinese people, who have long had no hope for all rulers, choose which one is not too bad.

If the old ruler is less bad than the new ruler, the people will choose the old ruler. This gave rise to the "revival of the dynasty" depicted by the feudal literati in the history books. If the new ruler is less bad than the old one, the people will choose the new ruler. Similarly, in the history books of the feudal literati, there is a matter of "Ding Lao Innovation".

The fact is that in the eyes of the masses of the people, all meat eaters are "despicable". The profound history has taught the Chinese people sufficient wisdom. They had no hope for any of the rulers. They just choose the less bad one in the process of comparing the rulers.

Of course, this situation has only been abnormal in the case of a great man who broke new ground. Under his leadership, the Chinese people really devoted themselves to a great practice of personally participating in the creation of an ideal system. However, this historical anomaly has only been around thirty years. After this, the enthusiasm of the Chinese people dissipated again with the passing of the great man. History has re-entered the classical cycle of the rulers comparing the bad side and the masses choosing the side that is not too bad.

Wang Shuhui knew that the social transformation that took place in later generations, in which all the Chinese people participated in about 30 years, did not succeed in the end. He also clearly knows that, on the one hand, he is not a great man, and he does not have the talent and ability of a great man. On the other hand, the Chinese in this time and space have not been baptized by the completely desperate crisis of national extinction that lasted for more than a hundred years in modern times. Therefore, no matter what aspect it is, Wang Shuhui has no idea of replicating that great social transformation.

Painting a tiger is not an anti-dog, Wang Shuhui will not do this kind of thing.

What the masses of the people need is a relatively good choice. Wang Shuhui, who has clearly recognized this problem, has always focused his work on providing a better life for the people.

Fortunately, in this time and space, in the environment of the complete collapse of the Ming Dynasty, it is not too difficult to provide the people with a better choice than the Ming Dynasty, the Manchu Dynasty, and the peasant rebels whose essence is an armed rebellion.

This matter is really not a difficult thing for Wang Shuhui. Let's take Wuchang Mansion under the current rule of the People's Liberation Army. Under the rule of the People's Protector Army, which had been fully infiltrated and controlled by the Fuxing Society, tens of thousands of people in Wuchang Mansion lived very peacefully and peacefully.

The people of Wuchang Mansion will not look at the People's Army differently because the predecessor of the People's Army was a rebel guard. For them, whether it was the Ming Dynasty or the Qing Dynasty that ruled Wuchang, whether Li Zicheng or Zhang Xianzhong, had nothing to do with them.

Whoever can provide a stable order, who can provide sufficient food, who can provide comprehensive employment opportunities, and who can ensure that their lives can continue smoothly. Better yet, whoever can provide a life that can be preserved by the fruits of their hard work and tears, then they will support such a ruler without hesitation.

The current Wuchang City is under the control of the Protector Army and the Revival Association behind the Protector Army, and tens of thousands of people in Wuchangwu live a life of stable social order, sufficient market supply, sufficient jobs, and timely and reasonable salaries. This kind of life is the first time that tens of thousands of people in Wuchang Mansion have lived a good life in decades.

You give the people what they need, and they will fully support your rule. There is no doubt about that.

Obviously, the current people of Wuchang Mansion have a very high degree of support for the People's Army. He Zuxian, the mascot of the People's Army, has become a leader loved by the people of the entire Wuchang Mansion.

Because under the control of the Renaissance Society, the discipline of the National People's Liberation Army is very good. Therefore, although the People's Protector Army does not insist on carrying out the "Soldier Concept Practice" movement all year round like the Fuxing Army, they have gradually become their "own" army in the mouths of the people of Wuchang. They have already begun to have the image of a little soldier in the hearts of the people.

Under these circumstances, when the 1st and 2nd Brigades of the People's Liberation Army, which were the new Huguang Governor who had taken the initiative to attack the attackers (as was the case with the external propaganda), escorted more than 300 prisoners of the investigation team and Chen Jianye and other officials back to Wuchang Mansion and immediately began to parade through the streets, the people of the entire Wuchang City fell into a joyful mood
