Chapter 474: The Finale: The Great Age (2)
As preparations for the Confederation unfolded, many different voices began to emerge, starting with within the National Socialist Party.
As a political party supported by Wang Zhenyu, many high-ranking cadres, including Zeng Qi and Li Buyi, believe that today's achievements are inseparable from the hard work of all cadres from top to bottom of the National Socialist Party. In other words, since the country is fought by us, it is naturally our turn to sit, and incomprehension and dissatisfaction with Wang Zhenyu's various policies are also breeding with time.
In response to this situation, Wang Zhenyu held a symposium of middle and senior cadres in the party on February 15, which was known as the "National Socialist Party ** Life Meeting" or "600 ** Meeting". At the meeting, Wang Zhenyu delivered the famous "II. The First Five-Year Speech" has had a major impact on the entire process of China.
"Comrades, it is a pleasure to sit down with you calmly and talk about our party, our government, our country and our future. We are all knowledgeable and literate people, and I believe that they are no strangers to the history of the Chinese nation. In all dynasties, it seems to be a rule that whoever fights the country and who sits on the country. Lao Tzu is tired and tired, he pins his head to the waistband of his trousers to rebel, and after he succeeds, he has great power in his hands, and who will he pass it on to his children and grandchildren after death? Is it passed on to outsiders? This is the inherent thinking of our nation, and I am sure that many of you here think the same way, and even many of us in our youth army still think so. Isn't it beautiful to have great achievements and blessings to your descendants! β
The cadres present immediately came to their senses, and as soon as the marshal came up, he directly put forward the focus of everyone's recent discussions.
"You may think that many years later, when your descendants bring their children and grandchildren to incense you, they will point to your picture and say, "Look, the happy life of our family comes from this ancestor. Be proud, you must be proud. But I tell you, it's none of your business. If you don't believe me, we can move on. What was the purpose of our original Xinhai Revolution, to overthrow the backward feudal system, but whether this idea of blessing the descendants of Fuyin is a feudal idea or not, I can tell you, yes, yes, absolutely. Then our Xinhai Revolution tossed and turned, so many compatriots died, and in the end all we fought for was to defeat the emperor and abolish the kneeling, oh, by the way, and cut the braids, it turned out that the requirements of the revolution were like this. You may not be convinced, thinking that this is too big and too empty, and it is better to benefit your children and grandchildren. Okay, then let's talk about this offspring, do you really think that using the power in your hands to arrange everything for your children and grandchildren is to give them happiness? Far away, let's talk about the Eight Banners system of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, if we want to talk about the system of blessing the descendants of the shadow, there is no more blessing for the descendants than this. Come, I don't have to say much about what this Eight Banners system is, and a comrade will introduce it to you, just Chen Gongbo, Minister Chen, you. β
Chen Gongbo did not shirk after being named, and stood up honestly: "The Eight Banners system was formally established by the Qing Taizu Nurhachi in the 29th year of Wanli in the Ming Dynasty (1601), and there were four flags when it was first established: yellow flag, white flag, red flag, and blue flag. In 1614, due to the "subjugation of Yiguang", the four banners were changed to yellow, white, red, and blue, and four flags were added, which were collectively called the Eight Banners, commanding the Manchurian, Mongolian, and Han armies. It is stipulated that every 300 people are a cow record, set up a cattle record of one person, five cattle for a Jia Lama (team), set a Jia Lama Ezhen (counselor) one, five Jia Lama for a solid mountain, set up a solid mountain Ezhen (Dutong, flag owner) one person, deputy one person, called left and right Melle Ezhen (deputy Dutong). After Huang Taiji succeeded to the throne, in order to expand the source of troops, on the basis of the Manchurian Eight Banners, the Mongolian Eight Banners and the Han Army Eight Banners were created, and their establishment was the same as that of the Manchu Eight Banners. A total of 24 flags of Manchu, Mongolia and Han constitute the whole of the Eight Banners system of the Qing Dynasty. After the Manchu Qing Dynasty entered the customs, the Eight Banners Army was divided into the Eight Banners of the Forbidden Brigade and the Eight Banners of the Garrison. β
Wang Zhenyu took a sip of tea, and when he heard this, he stood up, and Chen Gongbo sat down very obediently.
Wang Zhenyu said with a smile: "Who are the people of the Eight Banners, they are all the descendants of the founding heroes who followed the founding emperor of the Qing Dynasty to fight the world. But let me ask you, at the Xinhai Revolution, when any of you saw the Eight Banners coming to exterminate us, where did the Eight Banners, known as the pillars of the Qing Dynasty, go? According to the original Manchurian assumption, the children of the Eight Banners have been soldiers for generations, not farming, no work, no business, when there are not many people, the identity and official position of the flag people are the same, but Lao Tzu's heroic son must be a hero? I insist that heroes are made by circumstance, and have a limited relationship with personal character. So since the son is not a soldier, but he can only be a soldier, is this considered to stifle his son's nature? Is it considered to be the destruction of his son's talent? Maybe you think it's nothing, at least relying on the Eight Banners system, your children and grandchildren can live happily if they are hungry or frozen. So now, you go to Beijing to see, what kind of life these banner people live, do they still have the kung fu to carry a bird cage in the teahouse while drinking tea while boasting about the great achievements of his ancestors who entered the customs from the dragon back then? They're having a problem eating now, but 10 years ago they were the unearned people in this country. β
"Chinese value blood and talk about family affection, which is true, but sometimes, we have to think about whether some of our practices really help our children and grandchildren or harm him. I, Wang Zhenyu, can also do what some of you mean, engage in the ** system, I die and my son will succeed, and you will die and your son will succeed, but if their descendants do not have this ability, or do not have this interest at all, and finally the country collapses and perishes, do we benefit them or harm them. How did the Ming Dynasty fall, and who was the last hanged by the crooked-necked old tree on Jingshan? Have you thought about it? β
"What is the purpose of our construction of the new federation, I might as well tell you solemnly and solemnly here. It is to put power in a cage and let it serve the people, not harm the people. It is to let every citizen have the opportunity to change their destiny and become rich through hard work. It is impossible for any country to abolish classes in the present state of the productive forces, and it is impossible to treat all people equally. But according to those feudal ideas of yours, the final result is nothing more than to make the differences between these classes more obvious, the different classes are highly solidified, the children of the poor are still poor, the children of the rich are still rich, the sons of officials are still officials, and the sons of generals are still generals. Don't talk about ability, don't talk about talent, don't talk about facts, don't talk about principles, everything uses blood, relationships, and regions to set, what will happen in the end. The road is blocked, the talented are buried, it's okay to be willing to fall, if he thinks about it, he will stand on the opposite side of this government and this country, and try to break down the barriers between this class. β
"Look at yourselves, do you know what the consequences of selfishness are? Do you know what the consequences of a monopoly of power are? Once the competition is lost, no matter how strong the beast is, it will degenerate, no matter how powerful the army will be corrupted and degenerated, and the powerful party will also be corrupted and paralyzed. Because the starting point of all your work is no longer for the country and the people, but for yourself and your children. Okay, the principles have changed, and the monopoly power, it is not scary to do inhuman things, let's see, how much does the prince of the Qing Dynasty like male style? Let's see, how widespread was corruption in the Qing Dynasty? Let's see, when we launched the revolution in Wuhan at the end, how many of the magnates in Beijing dared to lead troops to conscript? These are all living examples, and they work for the benefit of yourselves, and if you revise all policies to make it easier for your own welfare, then what will happen to the people below, I tell you, learn from the same. And finally? It's over, the country has collapsed, some people say that you can flee abroad, naΓ―ve, people have left a name, geese have left a voice, your name is engraved on the pillar of shame in history, are your descendants proud of you, or is Yue Fei ashamed of his surname Qin in front of his tomb? One cannot be too selfish. β
"A child who grew up in a rural area may have a poor family, or his parents may be uneducated and uneducated. It doesn't matter, as long as this child has the ability to learn, we must give him the opportunity to enter a higher level through study and selection, so that our talents from all walks of life can continue to circulate and flow, and our government can always be an elite government, so that we can be in an advantageous position in the competition with other nationalities. Otherwise, no matter how much wealth there is, it is not the strength of a lion, but the obesity of a pig. Showing off again is tantamount to telling others that I can eat it, so let's kill it quickly! β
There was a burst of laughter......
"So why we look back now that there were so many ridiculous things in the Qing Dynasty, that's why it happened that we angrily condemned a criminal and turned into a confrontation with the whole government? The goal of our revolution is to pursue fairness, but when we take power, we want to create new injustices. Okay, even if you are powerful, I, Wang Zhenyu, walked out from here and was killed by someone you sent, and you replaced us to continue to engage in **, no problem, you succeeded. So have you ever wondered if there will be a day when your children and grandchildren lose the protection of power and the guarantee of the system in a certain reform for various reasons, and fall from the upper class to the bottom society, and what awaits them is a pile of unfairness, no matter how hard they work they are not as good as others for nothing, no matter how hard they work they can't change the class they are in, how should you feel if you have knowledge under the spring? β
There was silence......
The medicine is almost over, Wang Zhenyu has to make a final summary: "In any era, in the face of power and injustice, in the face of decay and degeneration, the revolutionaries who dare to rise up and resist are the bravest. But only the bravest and not the greatest, and finally dare to dedicate the fruits of their revolution to this country, this nation is not the revolutionaries who steal it for themselves, we are not only the Yue Wumu of the Chinese nation, we also want to be the Washington of the Chinese nation, and we have our own descendants to comment on it......"
The scene erupted in long-lasting applause
