Chapter 67: I want to join the group
"The hungry slaves and proletarians have united, and in order to survive they have launched a riot to rob the nobles and chiefs of their stored food......" Donner's tone was unpleasant and slow, so that several people around him could hear it clearly.
"But the rebellion was disorderly, unorganized, and doomed to failure, and it was at this time that certain nobles came forward......"
"Some nobles felt that the head of the tribe should only be a chief, and why should they not fight for the position of chief, these nobles, driven by the desire for power, led their warriors, led the slaves and proletarians who bewitched the rebellion, and promised to feed everyone as soon as they obtained the position of chieftain, and to divide the land among the people who were loyal to them......"
Downer said lightly: "The war began to expand at this time, and under the temptation of the conspiracy of the nobles, it became a struggle for power, and slaves and proletarian commoners, a large number of deaths, became victims of power.
Eventually, the nobles, with the help of slaves and proletarians, defeated one chieftain after another, and after their victory, they united the tribes into large territories, and those nobles who received the highest power became lords. ”
"The war had killed so many people that the lords began to recuperate, and in order to secure their rights, they began to divide the warriors, slaves, and proletarians who had followed them as nobles to rule over the other tribes that had been merged. ”
"So the time of lordship has come...... Donner sighed.
"The slaves and commoners who had become nobles felt the charm of power, and at the same time they remembered the hunger of the past, and they were afraid of feeling hunger again, so they became greedy and began to use the power in their hands, to master knowledge, to control food, and to seek to annex the land of other commoners. ”
A few people listened quietly to Donner's explanation.
Downer said slowly: "History cycles again, a large number of civilians lost their land, became proletarians, they began to starve, and between life and death, they once again united with the slaves to start a rebellion. ”
But this time, the ignorant slaves and proletarians were still used by the lords, who were not satisfied that their territory was only so large, and they wanted to be the king of all the lords, so the lords again tempted the slaves and the proletarians, and the most powerful lords won the war, and the other lords were brought to their knees, and they became kings. ”
"This is the ...... of Kingdom Age"
Donner said these words very simply, just so that Hans and others could understand them.
"Every war killed many people, as well as many nobles and lords, and the king also gave these ownerless lands to the common slaves again in order to consolidate his rights. ”
"Until the next time the commoners continue to be seized by other nobles, the war breaks out again...... Keep repeating the cycle. ”
Donner looked at them and said with a light smile: "This is the fundamental reason why people live a stable life at the beginning of each era, but often riot in the later period. ”
"The greedy aristocratic class, who have been constantly exploiting, the lowest level of commoners and slaves, enslaving them, seizing their land for their own pleasure,"
"So almost every war is a process of redistribution caused by land. "Donner goes straight to the center, nakedly exposing the ugly veil of the aristocratic class.
Jason, Jasmine and the others were deeply shocked, and if they think about it, what Donner said was indeed true.
"So how can we prevent this from happening again?" Blair asked.
Downer smiled: "If you want to avoid this from happening, you need the people to be the masters of their own country, everyone has their own land, their own means of production, master knowledge, actively develop the productive forces, and everyone can obtain their own fruits through labor, so that everyone will not go hungry." ”
"Is this possible?" asked Jason.
"Nothing is impossible. Donner said lightly: "As long as all people are equal, fair and free, there are no nobles, no slaves, and no exploitation, it can be realized." ”
"But...... You don't believe it yourself, because none of you have ever thought about it. ”
"But...... How can equality be achieved?" Blair could not believe that the aristocracy had existed for thousands of years, equality was something he had never dared to imagine, and his greatest fantasy in his heart was nothing more than the hope that the nobles, the lords, and the king would be kind, benevolent and wise.
"Want equality?" Downer smiled, "Then start with literacy, as long as everyone is literate, understands the truth, grasps knowledge, and emancipates their minds, they can slowly gain equality and freedom." ”
Donald paused: "And ...... Isn't that what our liberation regiment is doing?"
That's right!
It occurred to Jason and Blair that it seemed as if the people of Crescent Island had been literate all along, including children, pirates, and even women learning to read and count.
Only then did they realize that while people were still fantasizing, the people of Crescent Island had already begun to act.
"Captain Donner, can I join the Liberation Mission?" Jason asked suddenly.
"And me, I'm also going to join the Liberation Corps. Blair followed.
Donner was surprised, including Jasmine Hans, who looked at Jason and Blair in surprise.
Both were slaves bought by Theodore, and Donner had burned their slave contracts and promised them that they would be ready to leave at any time after three years.
I didn't expect that it would only be a long time? In less than three months, I was willing to join the liberation group.
Donner didn't say yes for a moment, because a question suddenly came to his mind.
Although the Seawolf Pirate Regiment has changed its name and become the Liberation Regiment, this is actually just a change of title, whether it is in the eyes of outsiders or the thoughts of the people inside the Liberation Regiment, the essence of the Liberation Regiment has not changed, and it is still a pirate regiment.
This one...... But it is a very serious problem, because it subconsciously affects the thinking and style of insiders all the time.
In the early days, he may be able to maintain good discipline and style under the pressure of Donner, but when the team grows, the form and style of the pirates will inevitably make a comeback.
How to solve it!
The only way is for the liberation regiment to have its own core guiding ideology from now on.
Historically, however, it has been experienced that no matter what organization wants to succeed, it must have its own program and charter, because the program and charter can not only guide the internal personnel of the organization, but also the soul of an organization.
What about the liberation regiment and what kind of program and constitution should it determine?
Donner stood on the rampart and fell into deep thought, leaving everyone quietly waiting for his decision.
It took a long time for Donner to have a glimmer of eyebrows in his heart, but he still needed to go back and think about it quietly.
"Donner!" Jason whispered.
Downer then remembered that the two of them were still waiting for his reply!
Donner smiled: "Yes, you two are welcome to join the liberation group." ”
