Crimson Dawn

Chapter 56

Chen Ke felt that he was not good at how to do the revolutionary agitation work.Speaking itself is a skill, an ability.The reason is simple. Chen Ke tried it before, but the result was not satisfactory.I don't know if it is because this thing requires too much talent or skill, anyway, the result of practice is that Chen Ke thinks that everything is better than hard work.The purpose of speaking is for practice, and a new world cannot be built by mouth alone.This is also the reason why Chen Ke didn't try his best to persuade this hero after meeting Pang Zi for the first time.

This time Pang Zi was able to bow his head and come to Beijing, which was really beyond Chen Ke's expectation.Presumably Wu Xingchen put in a lot of effort in it.Chen Ke didn't think that he could make Pang Zi completely embark on the revolutionary road. He would directly face the pressure from Beiyang when he rebelled in Hebei. Even if Chen Ke stayed in Hebei himself, he would not be arrogant enough to believe that at this stage he could Defeat the Beiyang Army.But Chen Ke was not willing to just fool around and abandon Pang Zi and the heroes who came with him.Holding such an attitude, Chen Ke and Pang Zi discussed the matter of rebellion.

Pang Zi had already begun to introduce the process of getting acquainted with Wu Xingchen, and Wu Xingchen also provided a lot of information beside him.From the Boxer Movement in the Year of Gengzi, to the bloody battle in Beijing, to the rebellion in Shandong.Chen Ke is not very interested in these things.The rebellions in these years are similar, and the history books record it in perhaps more detail than this one.At the beginning, Chen Ke was still asking some questions, but later, Chen Ke didn't say a word, his expression was cold, and his brows were slightly frowned.His thinking has been completely focused on the reasons for the failure of the uprising.

On the contrary, Chen Tianhua who was next to Chen Ke was quite moved.The rebellions in the south were all small-scale, and many rebellions were wiped out before they could be launched.In the narration of Pang Zi and Wu Xingchen, the uprising of Zhao Sanduo and Jing Tingbin, the rebel army resisted the Qing army and attacked the church.Formed an uprising army of 24 people across 16 counties in Zhi, Shandong, and Henan provinces.Zhili governor Yuan Shikai immediately sent Duan Qirui, Feng Guozhang and others to lead the Qing army to Jizhou and Guangzong to suppress the uprising army on a large scale, and personally supervised the battle, and more than [-] German, French, and Japanese invading troops "assisted and suppressed".There was such a commotion in Shandong and Hebei.This was far beyond Chen Tianhua's imagination.Wu Xingchen looked quite indifferent on weekdays, even a bit eccentric, Chen Tianhua has never liked him very much.Now, this kind of thought has already flown beyond the sky.Wu Xingchen had such a generous and intense experience.As Pang Zi and Wu Xingchen spoke in turn, Chen Tianhua's eyes kept switching between their faces.

This time it wasn't just Pang Zi and Wu Xingchen who got up, a total of six people came, and the other four were also old brothers who followed Zhao Sanduo to rebel together.At first, everyone was reluctant to talk. After listening to Pang Zi's talk for a while, everyone couldn't help but interjected.

On Wu Xingchen's chubby face, which is typical of tall people, there is an indescribable depression.Apart from supplementing Pang Zi's introduction, he was also observing Chen Ke and Chen Tianhua.For Chen Ke, Wu Xingchen had an indescribable emotion.The initial acquaintance of the two was not very pleasant, and the subsequent cooperation was not very heart-to-heart.Chen Ke gave Wu Xingchen the impression of a cold guy.Although Chen Ke smiled habitually, he was by no means a bad person.However, Chen Ke's enthusiasm for instigating the revolution made Wu Xingchen feel an extreme danger.Wu Xingchen could be said to have crawled out of the dead. In Beijing and Shandong, if Wu Xingchen wasn't vigilant enough, he didn't have the decisiveness to run away early if he didn't realize that something was wrong.Now I'm afraid his head is already hanging in the middle of nowhere.

After running around all these years and failing again and again, Wu Xingchen thought that he was exhausted physically and mentally, and he didn't want to make any more rebellions.It might be a good thing to hide in Shanghai and wait for death.But whenever he recalled that his friends and teachers died one after another, Wu Xingchen's hatred for the Manchus and foreigners in his chest doubled.Knowing that the People's Party is going to rebel, this is why Wu Xingchen decided to join the People's Party.Knowing that the old brothers like Pang Zi were going to "make a fuss", Wu Xingchen dragged Chen Ke over.Even after learning that Chen Ke and Pang Zi were not getting along happily, Wu Xingchen tried every means to persuade these brothers, hoping that Chen Ke could have a good discussion with Pang Zi and the others about the rebellion.Different from what he saw on the outside, Wu Xingchen was actually quite convinced by Chen Ke.

Unknowingly, Pang Zi choked up and said the last word. "In May, I was in Hebei, and Brother Wu was in Shandong. Both groups were defeated. Uncle Zhao Sanduo went on a hunger strike to starve to death in a prison cell in Nangong County, and Uncle Jing Tingbin was executed by Ling Chi." Before finishing speaking, Pang Azusa was already crying loudly.After crying, the other four Shandong heroes who came together looked sad and indignant, tears streaming down their faces.Chen Tianhua also had tears in his eyes, his shoulders twitched, and he was so choked up that he couldn't speak.In the midst of this grief, Chen Ke and Wu Xingchen did not say a word.Wu Xingchen gritted his teeth tightly, closed his eyes, and had a painful look on his face.Chen Ke clenched his fists tightly, his tightly pressed lips turned white, his face was livid, and two groups of cold flames seemed to burn in his eyes.

It took Chen Tianhua a long time to open his mouth, and he wiped his tears and said, "Excellent! Kill the demons! Kill the foreign religion! These two old men are really heroes! I was in the south at the time, and I didn't even know such a feat existed! Hey! I only I hate that I couldn't kill the enemy with all the brothers back then!"

It took Pang Zi a long time before he managed to calm down. His eyes were red, and his eyes were full of tears, "Mr. Chen, you told me two ways last time, one is to make a big fuss, and the other is to make a small fuss You can also make it clear that a small fight will kill you. I scolded you at the time. But after you left, every time I think of the rebellion, I can't help but think of your words."

There are not many records of this uprising in the history books, so Chen Ke naturally didn't know that Pang Zi had such an experience.Hearing Pang Zi mention what happened last time, Chen Ke hurriedly said: "Brother Pang, I am too serious."

"No, what Mr. Chen said is right. I thought about it over and over again. If I start a small fight, I will definitely be the same as the two uncles. I can't win. So Brother Wu persuaded me to come to Beijing, so I came to hear what Mr. Chen said. What can I teach you?"

Chen Ke lowered his head, how should he tell Pang Zi about the revolution?This really stumped Chen Ke.Judging from what Pang Zi and the others mean, this time the rebellion is not going to make a fuss.In fact, not too long in history, the Bailang Uprising in 1912 was no less in scale and momentum than the Jing Tingbin Uprising, and it was still suppressed in 1914.It was still the Beiyang Army that suppressed the uprising.History has already proved that without the leadership of the party and without a complete organization, the rebellion of the northern heroes will fail.

"Brother Pang, I definitely want to help you rebel. Brother Wu said that we are a revolutionary party. Since we are a revolutionary party, it is our duty to plan a rebellion." Chen Ke raised his head and said.

"Then how to rebel?" Pang Zi asked quickly after hearing what Chen Ke said.

"Why did Brother Pang rebel?" Chen Ke asked very seriously, this is a big problem.If you don't really find a reason for the revolution, and you just start out of a moment of righteous indignation, no matter what kind of hero you are, you will not be able to persist in the face of organized suppression.This has been proven countless times in Chinese history.

Sure enough, as Chen Ke guessed, Pang Zi said sonorously and forcefully: "Destroy the Qing, destroy the foreign!"

"Why do you want to destroy Qing and Yang?" Chen Ke continued to ask.

"The Manchus and foreigners ravaged the common people. Those foreign religions did bad things everywhere, and the Manchus also helped those foreigners to do bad things together."

"Why did Manqing help them?"

"This..." Pang Zi couldn't continue.He frowned and thought for a moment, but felt that he couldn't explain the problem.Looking up at Chen Ke, Pang Zi's eyes turned to Wu Xingchen.Just as Wu Xingchen was about to speak, Chen Ke shook his head lightly at him.Wu Xingchen held back the words that came to his lips.

Different from the indifference seen on the outside, to Wu Xingchen, the guidance of Chen Ke's party class is not as insignificant as it seems on the surface.In fact, Wu Xingchen himself is very interested in these courses and has gone through great difficulties.Whether Wu Xingchen is willing or not, he has to face those memories.Think about why you failed so badly before.And Chen Ke's party class undoubtedly pointed out a way to think about the problem.If we had to compare, among the party members who could understand the content of Chen Ke's lecture, Wu Xingchen would definitely rank among the top two.The reason why Wu Xingchen didn't show his admiration was just that the long-term failure made Wu Xingchen more cautious.

Without Wu Xingchen's clear reminder, Pang Zi also felt that he couldn't make a clear reason. He finally gave up and said: "Brother Wu, I can't remember what you advised us a few days ago. You can talk about it later."

After waiting for a while, Pang Zi felt very dissatisfied when Wu Xingchen didn't say a word. He looked at Chen Ke, "Mr. Chen, you literati are so uneasy. If you want to help me, then speak plainly. You are so secretive." It's nothing to hide."

"After I've finished telling you, you don't take it to heart. If you don't figure it out, what I said will be in vain." Chen Ke replied.

What Pang Zi hated the most was Chen Ke's attitude. He was already impatient, and today he talked about sad things, and his mood was even more unstable. "If you don't want to say it, don't sell your official position here." After speaking, Pang Ziteng stood up and glared at Chen Ke.

Chen Ke calmly looked at the agitated Pang Zi, and he said slowly: "Brother Pang, if you want me to say, you learned from Uncle Zhao and Uncle Jing how you said Say, you can say what you want. Your heart is just wanting revenge. I'm not wrong. "

After hearing Chen Ke express his thoughts, Pang Zi was stunned.Then I heard Chen Ke continue to say: "Now if you can kill Yuan Shikai and the county magistrate of Nangong, even if it takes your life, you will do it."

Upon hearing this, Pang Zi became excited at the time, and he asked eagerly, "Is there a way for Mr. Chen to kill these two people?"

"Brother Pang, this is where you are inferior to Uncle Zhao and Uncle Jing." Chen Ke said calmly, "The two of them went to the church and killed those priests and those bastards who believed in foreign religions for the sake of everyone. You just To avenge yourself. That's why there are tens of thousands of brothers following the two uncles. Even if you borrowed the slogan of the two uncles, what you did was not the work of the two uncles. If you just want to avenge yourself, you In Nangong County, we can’t afford to attract anyone.”

These words deeply hurt Pang Zi, and he immediately became angry from embarrassment. Pang Zi's left index finger pointed straight at Chen Ke's nose, his face flushed with anger, "Your mother!" Pang Zi cursed again.

In the morning, the light is getting brighter.Chen Ke blew out the candles, stretched his waist, and looked at the stack of manuscripts while shaking his wrists.Pang Zi made such a fuss last night, but Chen Ke had nothing to do with it.Wu Xingchen stood up and scolded Pang Zi.Chen Ke didn't hold grudges, he persuaded Wu Xingchen.He announced that every morning, he would give lectures to everyone.Although Pang Zi was not convinced, but since he came, he couldn't just rush out of them.Moreover, everyone was tired from rushing to Beijing from Xingtai, so Chen Ke asked everyone to rest.Pang Zi also stepped down the donkey and left the main room angrily.

Naturally, Chen Ke couldn't just lie down like this, he started to stay up late to write the manuscript.This article is aimed at the rural revolution. Chen Ke didn't know much about the rural contradictions in the late Qing Dynasty, but it is impossible for the basic contradictions to have no major changes.Moreover, since people like Pang Zi were preparing to rebel, they would not become lackeys of the landlord, so Chen Ke was finally able to express his feelings directly and wrote out the program of the land revolution.

Hope these things can really play a big role.Chen Ke said in his heart.

It's quite cold now, when Chen Ke was writing a book at night, he put on several clothes.Writing now, I just feel uncomfortable all over.He went into the bedroom, took off those clothes, and prepared to take a shower.Turning his head to look at Wu Xingchen and Chen Tianhua who were still sleeping soundly on the bed, Chen Ke made a decision in his heart to ask Chen Tianhua to conduct a social survey in rural Hebei.Without investigation, there is no right to speak. Although the theoretical guidance of Chen Ke's article is not wrong, the specific situation is definitely not that simple.More detailed information is needed if a reasonable rebellion procedure is to be worked out.

In fact, the theoretical education about rebellion will not take too long. Chen Ke is very busy in Beijing, and Chen Tianhua can also play a great role in lecturing.Especially after the lecture is over, Chen Tianhua can play an extremely important role in rural work in Hebei.Originally, Chen Ke brought Chen Tianhua here because he wanted Chen Tianhua to use his strength in publicity. It should be no problem to arrange for him to go to the countryside.

After confirming Chen Tianhua's arrangement, Chen Ke's eyes fell on Wu Xingchen.Unexpectedly, this hall master, who was depressed in Shanghai, would have such an experience.Chen Ke really didn't think about this.Although I know that Wu Xingchen's experience is definitely not ordinary, but being able to participate in a rebellion with a scale of tens of thousands of people, this kind of insight is definitely not something ordinary people can have.Wu Xingchen's enthusiasm for his party class is much higher than Chen Ke's imagination, and now Chen Ke understands a little bit.According to the organizational regulations of the People's Party, where there are three party members, a party meeting must be held.Have a good talk with Wu Xingchen at the party meeting.There is no need to worry now.Thinking of this, Chen Ke picked up the porcelain basin and went to take a bath.

The temperature is not high, compared to the well water is very warm.Amidst the rushing shower, Chen Ke suddenly remembered that he still had to deal with the honeycomb briquette. Before he came to Beijing, he really didn't expect that the stall was so big.There are a lot of things going on at the same time.However, there are many people and strength is great. Fortunately, these heroes are all there. Seeing their working conditions, it is also a good test.

The sound of rushing water alarmed the others, and everyone got up one after another.Chen Ke saw Pang Zi come out first. "Morning brother Pang!" Chen Ke greeted.Pang Zi replied with a dark face, and went straight to the toilet.The official's yard is different, and a special toilet has been built.When Pang Zi came out, Chen Ke had already finished washing.Looking at Chen Ke's muscular body, Pang Zi suddenly asked: "I heard that Mr. Chen is still a martial artist?"

"know a little."

"Can I ask you a lesson?"

"Brother Pang, I will accompany you at any time as long as you click to the end. If there must be a winner, I will never agree." Chen Ke said with a smile.

Pang Zi smiled, "Mr. Chen, you literati like to drop a schoolbag. Don't say what I don't understand, do you compare or not?"

"Compare now."

The sound of showering, coupled with the sound of the two talking, startled everyone.In addition, it was already dawn, and everyone got up one after another.Knowing that the two are going to compete, everyone is very interested.The yard was very flat, and Pang Zi was only wearing pants and his upper body was bare.Young people are all trainers, and their muscles are quite good-looking.Everyone stood far away, staring at the two of them intently.

Standing opposite each other, almost at the same time, the two bowed to each other.Just as Chen Ke put down his arm, Pang Zi had already jumped forward and punched Chen Ke in the face.Chen Ke blocked with his left arm, and pushed his right palm to Pang Zi's ribs.With the strength of Chen Ke's blocking, Pang Zi has already staggered his body shape, and swept across with his body down.Both sides are open and closed, punching and kicking, fighting together.

Although the fists and feet were full of wind and looked mighty, Chen Tianhua felt that everyone was just playing around like this, and didn't strike at the vitals.Pang Zi's footwork is light, and he has already circled Chen Ke in seven or eight moves.At this time, Chen Ke would always sweep with his back leg to prevent Pang Zi from getting close.Pang Zi was forced to retreat several times like this, and he became excited.Turning around Chen Ke for more than half a circle, Pang Zi saw that Chen Ke raised his leg and swept across again, so he took a quick step back to pass Chen Ke's leg, and then took a step forward and slapped Chen Ke's armpit.Seeing that Chen Ke couldn't dodge, he didn't expect Chen Ke to grab Pang Zi's wrist when he landed on one leg.Pang Zi was almost lifted up by the volley and fell to the ground.

"My day!" Pang Zi lay on the ground and cursed, and then a carp jumped up, "Brother Chen, this is a good move." Pang Zi shouted.As soon as the words fell, Pang Zi rushed forward again.

This time, the moves of the two were obviously not as good as before, but Chen Tianhua felt that the murderous intent was much stronger.Turning his head to look at Wu Xingchen beside him, Wu Xingchen looked solemn and frowned slightly.Not a word.Looking at the other people, they all had the same expressions.Turning to look at the two people who were fighting, I saw that they were getting closer and closer, fists, palms, and elbows greeted each other's vitals, and the sound of ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, and ping was as dense as popping beans.Just hearing this voice, Chen Tianhua felt heartache.After another thirty or forty moves, Chen Ke and Pang Zi pushed each other's chest at the same time, and they took advantage of the momentum to retreat a few steps, and then opened their bodies.

"Brother Chen, you won." Pang Zi laughed happily.

"Winning a move is not considered a win. I'm an airplayer, and I haven't gotten through much fighting. I think you should have a harder fist, Brother Pang. I can't stand being punched by you." Chen Ke also laughed.

Pang Zi smiled triumphantly, but didn't answer.The two bowed to each other again, and then they dispersed.

"That's right, brother Pang, your fists and feet are much better than a few years ago." Wu Xingchen said as he went up to him.

"You two, what exactly are you talking about." Chen Tianhua could still see some tricks in the first fight, but he didn't understand the details of the close hand-to-hand fight at all.After all, Chen Tianhua is a man, so he is naturally very keen on martial arts competitions, so he stepped forward and asked.

"When Mr. Chen hit my vitals, he didn't use any force. Let's move on to the next move. In fact, compared with punching and kicking, three punches and two kicks can solve the problem. How can we fight for so long." Pang Zi explained.

These words were too simple, Chen Tianhua didn't understand, he looked at Chen Ke who was walking over with puzzled eyes.Chen Ke went on to explain, "With Brother Pang's strength, I can break my ribs with a single punch. If everyone is fighting for their lives instead of a competition, I will try my best to get a punch from him, and I will give him a punch too." .Both of them have broken ribs, what else are they going to do?"

"So that's how it is." Chen Tianhua began to understand.But he was still a little puzzled, "Then what happened to the two of you pushing that palm?"

"I can't hold back my punches and kicks anymore. If I continue to fight, I will definitely be injured, so I can only dismantle it like this. If I didn't believe that Brother Pang was just fighting, I wouldn't dare to push him like that with my hands." Chen Ke continued.

Pang Zi stopped talking, he laughed and roared: "Happy! Happy! I haven't been so happy for a long time! Brother Chen, I haven't competed with others in the past two years. Those bastards can't compare with you, just play Shameful tricks. You should stop and stop. Grandma, brother Chen, you are a scholar, you actually talk about the rules of the world like this. Rare, rare!"

As the saying goes, if you don't fight, you don't know each other. After such a test, Pang Zizheng was very happy, but he also changed his address, and no longer called Chen Ke as Mr. Chen.

"In the past two years, I was the happiest with brother Pang in the boxing and kick competition. What's wrong with the scholar, the scholar's play is even darker." Chen Ke also laughed.

This is what Pang Zi scolded before. After hearing Chen Ke's ridicule, Pang Zi couldn't help laughing.Some of the previous unhappiness finally dispelled a lot.

After breakfast, Chen Ke began to give lectures.The content of the morning is the relationship between the Manchus and foreigners.These few brothers who intend to rebel have never heard such a detailed account.They knew about the foreign invasion, but they didn't expect it to be divided into the first Opium War and the second Opium War.The outcome of each war was very different.This history lesson is really an eye-opener for everyone.But after all, everyone has not received a systematic education like Chen Ke.Regarding the complicated interest disputes between the Manchus and the foreigners, everyone was much slower to understand.

The lecture was not finished until noon, so Chen Ke handed over the outline to Chen Tianhua, asking him to continue the lecture with everyone in the afternoon.I wrote another single word and asked Chen Tianhua to buy it before finishing the lecture.After lunch, Chen Ke headed towards the Imperial University Hall.There are classes over there in the afternoon.

The concierge and Chen Ke were already familiar. Mr. Gu Hongming had told the concierge that Chen Ke could freely enter and leave the school.After meeting and saying hello, Chen Ke went to the auditorium.When he entered the auditorium, he was really taken aback. Yesterday, there were only more than 50 people in the auditorium, but today there were twice as many people.

"Don't let anyone ask about history." Chen Ke secretly prayed.I looked at my watch, it was time.Chen Ke stepped onto the podium under the gaze of everyone. "Hi everyone, what I'm going to talk about today is the development of productive forces and changes in production relations."
