Chapter 68: Aftermath Disposal

May 2o, 19o8 (34th year of Guangxu), Chengdu.

"Comrade Chairman, a total of 17,757 flag men in the city have been screened. According to the liquidation principles we have formulated, there are the following five categories. 1. Members of the Aixin Jueluo family; 2. Those who hold the rank of the Eight Banners and above; 3. Those who have the title of the Qing court; 4. Those who engage in hostile acts against our army or our government; 5. Those who behave badly in peacetime and do many evils. All persons who fall into the above five categories are subject to liquidation. ”

"After our screening and public reporting, a total of 1,12 people meet the liquidation conditions. They and their immediate family members over the age of 12 will be tried in public, and they will be sentenced to different punishments ranging from fixed-term imprisonment to death based on the severity of the crime, their usual appearance, public reputation, and other factors. Regardless of the punishment, all family property will be confiscated......"

Comrade Xin Jie, commander of the Second Front Army, is reporting to General Wen on the results of the handling of the flagmen stationed in Chengdu.

In this uprising, the reaction of the Chengdu banner people was different from that of other places, they hid in the city and closed themselves off, basically did not participate in the defense of Chengdu, but did not come out to surrender to the revolutionary army. After the revolutionary army entered Chengdu, it naturally did not leave the nail of the city alone, and after the persuasion failed, they immediately dragged the artillery in and bombarded it.

Two hours later, the city was conquered, but the bannermen did not fight to the end like other places. After the revolutionary army invaded Mancheng, the Chengdu garrison general Yu Kun led the banner people to surrender, so the banner people in Chengdu were relatively few casualties, only more than 6o people were killed, and more than 2oo people were injured.

Wen Deji nodded and said, "Yes, you guys are doing a good job. As for the elites in the upper echelons of the Eight Banners, it is necessary to completely liquidate their influence in China! As for the lower-level bannermen, the main thing is to integrate them, first centralize their control, and give them labor skills education and ideological education, and then let them change their surnames to Han and distribute them to various localities so that they can be thoroughly integrated into society. ”

With regard to the emergence of the ruling group of the Eight Banners, the CSD formulated the principles and methods for dealing with the aftermath at its meeting on 15 May, and the main point was 12 words: "Completely eliminate the upper strata and thoroughly integrate the lower strata."

In fact, this point of view was repeatedly insisted on by Wen Desi before it was communicated at the party meeting. You must know that in the top echelons of the CSD, there are quite a few former members of the Liberation Society, which was originally a very radical revolutionary organization, and calls for a thorough purge of the entire Eight Banners clique. This is not surprising, the national hatred and class hatred accumulated over hundreds of years are not so easy to resolve, and if you look at the fate of the banner people in other revolutionary provinces, you can see that the revolution is not a dinner party.

Of course, Wen Desi cannot agree with this point of view. Although he is also a true nationalist, he is also of the more moderate kind. What's more, he is from the 23rd century, and his thinking angle is completely different from that of the natives of this plane and plane. Therefore, he is opposed to a one-size-fits-all approach, and of course he is also very disgusted by the disgusting performances of the old and young people in the original time and space for a period of time.

That's why he formulated the principle of "completely liquidating the upper strata and completely integrating the lower strata", and spent a lot of effort to persuade the indigenous party members to accept it. As long as the upper echelons of the Eight Banners are completely liquidated, there will be no disgusting people in the future.

However, in order to unify the party's thinking and persuade Xu Xilin and other indigenous party members, Wen Desi also spent a lot of words, and for the first time revealed some of his ambitions and true thoughts.

"Actually, I'm not against massacres. Because the act of massacre has been written for as long as human beings have been recorded. In prehistory, where there are no written records, it is even more common, a million years ago, when our ancestors were still Homo sapiens, there were no less than ten kinds of close relatives in the same family as Homo sapiens, but then there were none, are they all suicides? Massacres are so common that they can be said to be a kind of human nature. ”

"What I'm against is senseless massacres! With the pitiful strength of the banner people now, it would be very easy for us to kill them. With the strength of our revolutionary army, it will not cost much to kill them all. But what good can we gain by doing this, except for being happy and vengeful, and speaking out of anger?"

"The enemy must be destroyed, but the best way to destroy the enemy is not to destroy them from the **, but to turn them into our own people. The former can only reduce the enemy's strength, while the latter not only reduces the enemy's strength, but also strengthens our own. ”

"Yes, over the centuries, the Banner people have caused countless injuries to our Han people, and I know these very well. Therefore, I also understand your desire for revenge, and if you go back 300, 100, or even 50 years, I will definitely support you and support you in action. But now it's different, it's a 'change unseen in 3,000 years'. Comrades, who is our biggest enemy of China now? No, they don't have the qualifications! Our biggest enemy now is the foreign powers of Europe, the United States, and Japan! The Manchu regime is only a small obstacle, and only the European and American powers can be regarded as the real enemies of China!"

"In our previous party classes, we have introduced the strength of foreign powers, each of which is ten or a hundred times stronger than the Manchu government. Our current strength is not enough to stand up to the great powers and regain our lost interests. Therefore, we must try our best to enhance our own strength. ”

"And manpower is the most important resource of a country, especially the human resources of the same culture, and it is an irreplaceable resource of a country. The Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty in the Banner People were originally Han people, even the Eight Banners of Manchu and the Eight Banners of Mongolia have almost been sinicized in the past few hundred years, hehe, the current Manchus can't even speak Manchu. Among the various ethnic groups in China today, the Sinicization Cheng dΓΉ of the banner people can be said to be the highest. If they don't say it themselves, can you tell it?"

"To deal with the strong enemies of Europe and the United States, we must pool the forces of the whole of China, and the human resources of the same culture are an irreplaceable part of it. Therefore, it is the most appropriate way to clean the upper layer of the Eight Banners and integrate their lower layers. This principle should not only be applied to the banner people, but also to other ethnic forces in the country...... A comrade just said that there are 40,000 Han Chinese and several million banner talents, so it doesn't matter how many people there are. Well, I must admit that if our eyes are only on China, then this kind of thinking makes a lot of sense. ”

"But comrades, we, the CSD are the most advanced organizations in China, and we should look at the whole world and not just see one acre and three points of land in China itself. Is 40,000,000 Han Chinese a lot? No, not much, not at all from the perspective of the whole world! It is not even enough! At present, the combined native population of the foreign powers of Europe, America, and Japan is more than 600 million, and if the population of their colonies is included, it is more than 1.5 billion! This shows that they are able to mobilize much more manpower than the outside. Manpower is not everything, but if there is a shortage of people, it is absolutely impossible. If we want China to rejuvenate and rise, we must grasp every ounce of strength. Therefore, every human resource is precious and must not be squandered in a needless place. ”

"The great powers now occupy most of the world, and this world is limited, and if we want China to rise, we will inevitably come into conflict with the great powers. And this conflict is inevitable, because the great powers will never allow us to revive. For the great powers, once a big country like China is revived, it will be a strong competitor, so they will try their best to blockade, encircle, suppress, and even war against us, and it is not impossible to have another eight-nation alliance and an eighteen-nation alliance. We, the Socialist Party, must achieve our goal of rejuvenating China, so we have irreconcilable contradictions with the foreign powers. ”

"The current world is a world dominated by the Western powers. For us in China, this is a great danger, but at the same time it is also a huge opportunity. This is because there are many contradictions within the Western powers, and according to the information we have obtained, it can be predicted that in five to six years, the contradictions between them will completely explode, and all the great powers will be drawn into a world war! This is our opportunity! If we want to seize this rare opportunity, we must straighten out the country and gather all the forces used in the country, which is called the 'united front.' ”

Therefore, I ask comrades to step out of the Han nationality-based ideology and evolve into a broader Han ideology. This 'big' is large-scale, and we want to expand the concept of the Han nationality. All ethnic groups and individuals who identify with our cultural concepts, follow our traditional habits, and use our spoken and written language, we can integrate them into the Han nation. Because this is what our ancestors did, the exhibition history of our Han nationality is a history of ethnic integration, and we continue to integrate the surrounding ethnic groups, so that we can expand from that small place in Henan to the current Cheng dΓΉ. ”

"Facts have proved the correctness of this approach, and it is precisely this approach that has given us the traditional idea of 'great unification', and despite many divisions in our history, we have been able to unite in the end. This is where our "cultural national view" is far more advanced than the "blood national view" of white Westerners, and Europe has been unified in history, but once they are divided, they are never unified again. As the most advanced political organization in China, the Socialist Party of Science and Technology should inherit and promote the spirit of this "cultural and national outlook." Only a nation with a strong inclusiveness can be a truly strong and progressive nation!"

"It has also proved that the colonialist practices used by the Western powers are extremely inefficient and, above all, can never assimilate the colonies into their own territories. Just look at the British, who, though they occupy a quarter of the planet, cannot even assimilate Ireland as recently as possible, and lead to the independence of the United States. Our party's program is to build a new world dominated by China, and we also need more land, and we will inevitably expand. Since the practices of Western colonialism are inefficient, we cannot do what they do with the new territories in the future. If we want to say the most effective way to rule, we still have to look at China, our ancestors have already left us the best method, that is, integration and assimilation. ”

"Only by integrating the people of the new territory into our Han compatriots, accepting our culture and traditions, speaking and writing Chinese characters, and most importantly, the idea of 'great unification', will this land truly belong to us." Of course, there is another way to do this, that is, the white Europeans do to the Indians and the Australian natives, killing all the aborigines! But as I said earlier, this is an extremely wasteful and inefficient practice, and it is not worth adopting. ”

"Some comrades asked, what if you meet someone who doesn't want to integrate? It's very simple, if they want to leave, send them away. For those who do not cooperate and do not want to leave, labor reform is the best way. There are so many places that we in China need to build, and there will never be a shortage of sites and mines to house them. Those who resist integration and are stubborn will continue to be reformed through labor until they become enlightened, and if ten years is not enough, it will be twenty years, and if twenty years is not enough, it will be forty years, and one hundred years......"

"What we need to do now is to integrate all ethnic groups in the country, which is also an important part of the government's work in the future. Starting with the highest ethnic group in the Sinicization process, the integration of the flag people is our pilot. Next, there are the various close relatives of the Yanhuang system and the Sino-Tibetan language family, then the northwestern tribes, and finally our new territory......"

The above is an excerpt from Chairman Boon Duc's speech at a high-level party meeting on May 15. The content of Mr. Wen's speech this time has basically become the guiding ideology for the national work of the CSD government in the future.

...........................................................................

"How did the families of Zhao Erfeng and the officers and soldiers of the Eighteenth Town make arrangements?" asked Wen Desi. Lao Zhao's "Pingzang Army" is a little different from the original time and space, and the official establishment in the Qing court is "the eighteenth town of the provisional 6th army".

Xin Jie replied: "They are all properly settled, and after we moved the banner people out, we are now arranging them to live in a centralized residence in the original Mancheng City for easy management." ”

"Well, don't be harsh on the treatment. During the period of concentrated residence, let's compare the standard supply of the families of our Xingke Group employees. In addition, they should be asked to write letters home to the officers and soldiers on the front line to report their safety. It's a lonely army over there now, and the morale of the army can't be messed up......" Wen Deji said after thinking about it.

"So, do you want them to write a letter of persuasion?" Xin Jie asked.

"No, it's our business to persuade them to surrender, they just need to let the officers and soldiers of the Eighteenth Town know that they are safe. ”

After Xin Jie left, Wen Desi saw a familiar name from the list of prisoners he handed over, and couldn't help but be a little surprised: "Hey, it's actually Guo Songling, I didn't expect him to be in Seventeen Towns at this time......"

Judging from the list, Guo Songling is now serving as the guard band (commander of the guard company) of the 17th Town, and he came with Zhu Qinglan this year, but in the Battle of Wuguiqiao, the headquarters of the 17th Town was set on fire by the artillery of the revolutionary army, Zhu Qinglan was killed on the spot, and Xiao Guo was also blown unconscious, and he was captured by the revolutionary army.

However, Mr. Wen was only slightly surprised, he was not very interested in collecting historical celebrities, because in his opinion, those historical celebrities were not necessarily more useful than cyborgs. So up to now, Wen Desi has not deliberately collected any celebrities, for him, it is of course good that those historical celebrities can come, and it doesn't matter if they don't come.
