Crimson Dawn

Chapter 71

The so-called scholarly rebellion will fail in three years.What if a scholar becomes an official?

Before going north, Chen Ke believed that there must be a group of officials in the late Qing Dynasty who were desperate for the court, and they would definitely find a way to save China.Chen Kebei went forward hoping that he could meet these people.In the end, he actually met him.With Shang Yuan and the group of people introduced by Shang Yuan as the core, Chen Ke established the Beijing Party Group.

The fact that Chen Ke confided in Shang Yuan so quickly was not because Chen Ke believed that he had any "bad spirit".Nor is it because Chen Ke believes that revolutionary theory can easily convince scholars of this era.At first, Chen Keben thought that Shang Yuan Juren was just a "revolutionary enthusiast".That is to say, the kind of people who shout revolution.So I entrusted Shang Yuan with the paperwork.When he didn't want to register the factory list, Shang Juren included himself in the list.When assigning the task of repairing the stove, Shang Yuan followed his team to repair the stove.

Chen Ke was greatly surprised by this.

When he went to ask Shang Yuan, Shang Juren simply replied: "A gentleman is not a weapon." Confucius believed that a gentleman should not limit himself to a fixed field.Chen Ke's family also worships Confucianism. His family's tutors have repeatedly emphasized that if you despise the so-called "low-level jobs" after acquiring knowledge, it means that you have read for nothing.

Not only that, Shang Yuan showed amazing talent in the construction of revolutionary theory.Shang Yuan has a very deep understanding of Mao Zedong's "serving the people wholeheartedly".Chen Ke has always believed that the core of socialism is to develop productive forces and "serve the people wholeheartedly". The core lies in the establishment of a social system whose purpose is to provide people with better job opportunities.To put it more bluntly, it is the program of "New Democracy" proposed by the Party back then.

Shang Yuan Juren has an amazing ability to understand this set of theories, as well as sufficient ability to plan on paper.Therefore, the chairman on duty of this meeting is not Chen Ke, but Shang Yuan.

"Everyone, this meeting mainly discusses two things. First, the social demand of briquettes. Second, the superiority of the socialist system through briquettes. Now Wen Qing will speak." Shang Yuan's attitude was natural and his tone The peace quickly brought the atmosphere of the meeting back on track.

The content of Chen Ke's narration is not long. The success of honeycomb briquettes is nothing more than industrialized production, which reduces the cost of living, so it will naturally succeed.This truth needs no elaboration at all.The superiority of the socialist system is nothing more than "from each according to his ability, to each according to his work", through a powerful state machine to eliminate the "rentier" class and reduce social transaction costs.Complete control over core industries and social services through state investment in state-owned enterprises.The country itself should support these industries.

Su Wuming said with a smile: "This kind of country is naturally good, but this government should not be Manchu Qing, nor should it be an imperial society."

The comrades present nodded their heads one after another.

"The country is a tool for class rule. When we learn to analyze society, we must understand one truth, class struggle, and it will be effective as soon as it is grasped. From the perspective of struggle science, the operation of all human societies is composed of various contradictions." Chen Ke talked eloquently that in Shanghai, the theoretical level of those comrades was really limited.And it has to be said that Chen Ke himself did not study sociology, and his theoretical level was very limited at that time.Over the past few months, Chen Ke's social theory level has also improved a lot, and he has become more comfortable in lecturing.

"This is the truth of the world. What we study law is to sum up various provisions in various contradictions." The speaker was Xu Dian.Xu Dian was a friend of Shang Yuan's friend Mao Yibo, who studied law at Tokyo University in Japan in 1901. When he returned to China in 1905, he was originally a constitutionalist, but he became a socialist after two days of lectures.

Mao Yibo is from Zhejiang, and he caught the last train for young children to study in the United States. After returning, he first worked in the Kailuan coal mine, but his personality was relatively radical. In the end, he couldn't get along in the coal mine and returned to Jiangsu and Zhejiang to run a school.He has repeatedly failed in running the school, but owes a huge amount of debt, and is even more disheartened by the Manchu system, so he has become an old cynic.In the past few years, there has been a wave of demand for constitutionalism, and Mao Yibo has become enthusiastic again. Anyway, he can't stay in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, so he simply came to Beijing to promote constitutionalism.Mao Yibo was not too supportive of Xu Dian's speech, "Wen Qing made it clear last time that a revolutionist must have a heart of benevolence. If everything has a heart of struggle, there will only be troubles without incident." .Revolutions are about solving problems, not creating them."

Everyone was talking about each other, and Xie Mingxian, who was listening by the side, couldn't help sighing, everyone is worthy of being a scholar, and they only talked about the revolution in their words, and never touched the Qing Dynasty.But Xie Mingxian knew that this group of people had completely abandoned Man Qing.Xie Mingxian didn't know Xu Xilin, and he didn't know that Xu Xilin was deeply confused by Chen Ke's attitude towards Man Qing, "Chen Ke looked at Man Qing like dry bones in a tomb".If Xie Mingxian and Xu Xilin can discuss this issue, they will definitely "cherish each other".All the participants who accepted Chen Ke's theory now have this attitude towards the Manchu Qing.

Seeing that it was almost finished, Shang Yuan, the chairman on duty, said, "Do you have any questions about this question?"

Everyone stopped talking, and no one wanted to raise any new questions.Seeing that no one objected, Shang Yuan said, "The next question is, what kind of difficulties will the briquette plant encounter in its continued development, and where will these difficulties come from?"

Xie Mingxian has participated in many meetings of the Beijing Party Group, and he has roughly summed up the process of hosting these meetings.

1. Describe the advantages of socialism.In this meeting, it is how advanced the new factory is.

2. Describe the backwardness and destructiveness of current politics.This is the destruction of the new factory by the court policy proposed by Shang Yuan.

3. If there is a base area, how to solve these problems in a targeted manner.This part of the content is about how to build a new social system in the future base area, that is, the county where Shangyuan took office.

The trilogy goes round and round, repeating education and guidance.Those who attended the meeting were all from the middle class of society, and Shang Yuan was the future county magistrate, who would take office in Anhui in 1906.So the purpose of such a meeting is nothing more than to tell everyone that we have room to fully display our capabilities.However, it is not acceptable to follow the old political system, nor is it acceptable to follow the slogans of Sun Yat-sen and those rebellious parties.There has to be a real revolution.

I have to say that this kind of education method is very effective, no matter whether others believe in Chen Ke's theory or not, Xie Mingxian does anyway.Chen Ke has always emphasized that "class struggle can be effective once it is grasped." Today's world, ranging from countries to families and families, is ruled by various tyrants, large and small, according to the existing traditional model.There must be a revolution that penetrates to the bottom of society, a revolution that penetrates the souls of the people.After the old order in China was completely smashed, it was reassembled according to a new model.

Xie Mingxian didn't want to deny Chen Ke's argument, he had his own personal feelings.Xie Mingxian was born in a middle-class landlord family in Hubei, and his mother was a concubine, so Xie Mingxian understood one thing since he was a child, "Be a man with your tail between your legs." dissatisfaction, dissatisfaction with the elder brothers and younger brothers born to several main houses.Because they look down on themselves and think that Xie Mingxian is not entitled to any family wealth and resources.Xie Mingxian is very smart. Since his childhood, Xie Mingxian was often scolded by his wife for no reason and deliberately bullied by his wife's sons.The lesson that left a deep impression on him early in his life was that after entering private school, Xie Mingxian showed a talent for reading. In several exams given by the teacher, Xie Mingxian performed well and was praised by the teacher.When the teacher was a guest at Xie Mingxian's house, he praised Xie Mingxian's father a few words.Xie Mingxian's father gave his son a smile for the first time, and said flatly, "Good job."

Then the nightmare began. Xie Mingxian's mother was repeatedly made things difficult for, beaten and abused by his wife.And Xie Mingxian himself was subjected to a series of actions planned by several "brothers and brothers".His books were stolen, his pens were broken, and his notebooks were torn to pieces.Not only that, several brothers and brothers beat Xie Mingxian together.When Xie Mingxian returned home covered in bruises, his elder brother and younger brother who ran home early had already sued Xie Mingxian in front of his father.Instead of upholding justice, his father made Xie Mingxian kneel as a punishment.When Xie Mingxian's mother cried and begged his father for mercy, Xie Mingxian heard his father say calmly and indifferently: "If you kneel down, you can die on your knees. I do it for his own good."

Xie Mingxian was not stupid, he knew that it was for his father's good.If his father upheld justice, then Xie Mingxian would probably be in endless trouble.His father's wife will never spare Xie Mingxian, mother and son, and Xie Mingxian's two younger sisters will also be implicated.

From then on, Xie Mingxian never showed his ability again, and on the surface, his study was only mediocre.Moreover, his father had been indifferent to Xie Mingxian's mother and son for a long time, which barely calmed down the family storm.It wasn't until Xie Mingxian was admitted as a scholar in 1904 and had "fame" that Xie Mingxian really wouldn't be beaten.As long as it is not the "public discussion" of the elders of the family, even the elder brother in the family cannot beat the "famous" Xie Mingxian.

From these years of experience, Xie Mingxian understood two things. First, the Confucian theory of "kissing" is simply a decoration.Husband and wife, father and son, and brothers are like this, the Xie family has always exploited the tenant farmers.Second, the country is the real backer.As long as you can get on the big ship of the country, you will have strength.

So Xie Mingxian originally wanted to work hard to rely on Juren, but the end of the imperial examination system completely ended Xie Mingxian's ideals.It is impossible for him to go to the next level and save his mother completely.If he can be admitted to Juren, Xie Mingxian will have the opportunity to become an official, and then take his mother to take office together.But that opportunity was lost forever.Not only that, the fact that Xie Mingxian was admitted as a scholar has already made him a thorn in the eyes of several brothers and sisters in the family. His father has entered old age, and the brothers and brothers almost broke their heads in order to divide the family property. Xie Mingxian continued to stay at home. There is only one dead end.Xie Mingxian had no choice but to leave home alone, away from his mother.He didn't go to Changsha. In the village, Xie Mingxian was considered a respectable scholar.But in Changsha, he certainly has no chance.What Xie Mingxian needed was to earn money and get his mother out.So he went to Shanghai, a place he was not familiar with.

Shanghai seems to be prosperous, but it is the world of foreigners and compradors, and he, a scholar, has no chance to show his strength.If he hadn't seen the recruiting poster posted by Chen Ke by accident... Xie Mingxian often thought of this and felt scared.

This world needs revolution. What he has seen in the past 20 years is that there are injustices everywhere, and fierce class conflicts everywhere. Even if it is just his Xie family, when he was a child, rent collection would kill one person in three years on average.When the Xie family started to lend usury, the life-threatening incidents became at least one a year.In the past two years, Hunan and Hubei have been hit by disasters one after another, and dead people are commonplace.If the people wanted to survive, they had no choice but to rise up and rebel.If Chen Ke led his comrades to raise their arms in the countryside, it would be dry firewood.Even if the common people want to live until tomorrow, they will follow Chen Ke and the others.

More importantly, even with such a situation, Chen Ke was still not in a hurry. He didn't want to organize a group of rogues, but really wanted to form a brand new "base area".Be ready for political and military struggle against all enemies.

Looking at the serious discussions among the participants, Xie Mingxian's general contacts in the past few days, as far as he understands, although these people come from different backgrounds from his own, they are all a group of people who have deeply seen that China's conflicts have reached the stage of ignorance.That's why this group of talents will gather together to discuss and do "that earth-shattering event".Xie Mingxian has no objection to the "revolution" at all. With his current ability, he won't have any chance in today's world.There is only one chance Xie Mingxian can seize for the so-called wealth and wealth.

Xie Mingxian was thinking about his own affairs, so he didn't pay much attention to some discussions in the middle.By the time he regained his attention, the part about the imperial court had been finished.But Qin Shou asked to speak.

"I have a question, what should we say about the revolutionary legal system?" Qin Shou asked.Qin Shou was born in Changzhou, Jiangsu Province. In 1896, he entered the Jiangnan Naval Academy with eight silver dollars raised by his mother. Although the Jiangnan Naval Academy was corrupt and the school spirit was smoky at that time, Qin Shou still studied hard.At the time of the Gengzi Incident, he had already received an order to join the Beiyang Navy. At this time, the north was in chaos, and there was no discipline at all in the school.Qin Shouhe went home to visit his mother.When his mother learned that Qin Shou was not planning to go north, she immediately asked him, didn't you enter the Naval Academy to serve the country?Now is the time to contribute to the country, why are you going to be a deserter?Qin Shou blushed when asked by his mother, and immediately went back to school to apply for funds to go north.The school teacher found it inconceivable that Qin Shou actually wanted to go north under such circumstances.With the mentality of watching a joke, the school really gave him a sum of money.Qin Shou went north.

After arriving in Beijing, just as Guangxu and Cixi had returned to Beijing, all the yamen were dilapidated and needed manpower.The Beiyang Naval Academy was no longer there, so Qin Shou was recruited into the household department as a small official.Seeing the great humiliation of the imperial court, not only did he not cheer up, but he even became more depressed.Completely desperate for Manchu.

He is a friend of Shang Yuan, and these people often talk about what to do in the future of China.After joining the Beijing Party Group, Qin Shou was in charge of recruiting new members because of his wide range of people.

Shang Yuan said: "Anti-Qing and Ming Dynasty is of course not acceptable. A democratic republic is also not acceptable. What do you think of Wenqing?"

"Without him, the will of the people is the destiny. The people's revolution itself is the rule of law." Chen Ke said firmly.

Everyone discussed it and felt that was the only way.After talking about a few more questions, Shang Yuan saw that the time was almost up, so he announced that the party meeting was over.

After everyone left the conference room, Shang Yuan suddenly asked Chen Ke who was reading the meeting minutes, "Wen Qing, what do you think of the comrades in Beijing?"

"The comrades are very good, but I don't want to take them to Anhui now. In my opinion, it might be better for them to continue to develop the northern party branch in Beijing. Brother Wang Shan and Brother Qin brought their colleagues from the factory to Anhui Just do it."

"I heard from Wen Qing that there are still a group of comrades in Shanghai. Is it possible that Wen Qing is worried that there will be conflicts between the two sides?"

"It's a mule or a horse. Pull it out for a walk. I don't worry about it. Anyway, after working in the countryside, it is extremely difficult. Those who can't bear the hardship will naturally quit. But there are many heroes in the north. If everyone goes After leaving Anhui, what can we do with only a few people in the north? In the future, we will definitely fight against the Manchus, and this intelligence work is the key. So I think that comrades staying in the north means that we have eyes and ears. "

Shang Yuan stared at Chen Ke, as if trying to figure out Chen Ke's real purpose.After thinking for a while, he nodded and said, "What Wen Qing said makes sense."

Chen Ke is very happy to get Shang Yuan's support, his words are not an excuse, the role of these people in the base area may not be as great as in Beijing.Moreover, Beijing is a place full of talents, and laying more foreshadowing is the way to make a big fuss.

"By the way, Brother Wangshan, you will take office in March next year. It's already December. Aren't you going to go home first?"

Shang Yuan shook his head lightly, "Don't worry. My father is in Tianjin now. I'll just go to Tianjin before taking office. But Wen Qing, I think you'd better pay a visit to Yuan Weiting."

Before Chen Ke went north this time, Yan Fu gave him three letters.Mr. Gu Hongming's letter must be delivered.Yan Fu explained this clearly.One of the other two letters was addressed to Yuan Shikai.Yan Fu confessed that there was no need to send these two letters.He said that if Chen Ke encounters troubles that cannot be solved in Beijing, just use these two letters.Chen Ke has always believed that "relying on mountains to fall, relying on rivers and rivers to dry up." Therefore, he is unwilling to borrow the strength of others.The so-called "don't get up early without benefit." If it is not good for others, a fool will help you.Yuan Shikai is definitely not a fool.

"It's not in a hurry." Chen Ke said.

"I would suggest you to go, and promote this briquette to the camps of the Beiyang Army."

"Huh?" Chen Ke felt that Shang Yuan's words must have a deep meaning.

"In the officialdom of the capital, there are quite a few people who want to fight Yuan Shikai. Since Wen Qing wants to make the factory yellow, he will bring his friends from the factory to the south. Such a simple operation may not be so fast." Shang Yuan Very ingeniously said.

"I see." Chen Ke nodded in agreement, admiring Shang Yuan in his heart.
