Chapter 1136: Empire
What is iron, is the sword!
What is blood, is sacrifice!
A leader, a voice, a will, and iron and blood, what is not fascism?
For a moment, Zhou Shixiang even wondered if this Luo Lun was the same as him, and he was also a time traveler. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
This time, Zhou Shixiang's breathing became rapid.
He looked at Luo Lun and the others expressionlessly, but he was thinking in his heart about what caused these young officers in front of him to have the idea of fascism, or the prototype.
Soon, he realized that, perhaps, all this was created by him. Because the Taiping Army was originally a military group completely dominated by the Han people. From the very beginning of its birth, this group has been committed to overthrowing the tyranny of the Manchu Qing Dynasty and restoring the glory of its own nation, and for this purpose, it will not hesitate to sacrifice itself.
After the Manchu Qing Dynasty entered the customs, they used butcher knives to coerce all ethnic groups, including the Han Chinese, into submission, and the Taiping army, while resisting, also wielded butcher knives. But apparently, Zhou Shixiang was not an ultra-nationalist, and he never believed that blood was the only way to maintain and prove the Han nationality.
In the Taiping Army, there were quite a few non-Han generals and soldiers, such as the Manchurian Suna, the Mongol Eduo, etc., and the number of Manchu and Mongolian soldiers in the entire army was no less than 10,000. In addition to the Manchu and Mongolian officers and soldiers, the three wolf soldier towns dominated by the Guangxi Servants (Zhuang), the Xiangxi Turen, and the Miao people also existed, and the number reached more than 20,000 people, and the soldiers of the other ethnic groups in Lingnan who participated in the Taiping Army also numbered as many as thousands.
From the very beginning of their joining, these non-Han officers and soldiers were treated equally by Zhou Shixiang and never discriminated against them. When he was in Guangxi, he put forward slogans such as "the Han family", "the unity of the Tuhan and the Han", and "the same origin of the Miao and Han", and welcomed the local non-Han armed forces who were willing to follow the Taiping army to resist the Qing Dynasty, and ordered the local government to regard those ethnic minorities who voluntarily went down to the mountains to accept the government's rule as new Han people, gave them the same policy treatment as the Han people, encouraged them to join the army, and set up schools to educate them.
Knowing Chinese characters, reading Chinese books, speaking Chinese, celebrating Han festivals, wearing Han clothes, and changing Han names, as long as these six conditions were met, Zhou Shixiang recognized that they were Han people, and changed the original Tusi jurisdiction area to return to the stream, and vigorously promoted the concept of the descendants of Yan and Huang. For the naturalization of the active new Han people, it is even more praised, and for those who have contributed to the Taiping Army, the original Tusi is also rewarded with officials.
As long as he is willing to accept sinicization, then he is a Han person, and his children and grandchildren are Han people. On the contrary, it will be severely suppressed and completely eliminated, this is Zhou Shixiang's national outlook.
This national outlook is very different from the past to divide whether or not they are Han by blood, but the effect of this move is very obvious, and specifically in the army, those officers and soldiers of the Manchu, Mongolian, Miao, Zhuang, Tu and other original ethnic groups who are extremely loyal and proud of the Han people are the best evidence.
The Han nationality was originally the best ethnic group of this era, and had the most advanced civilization of this era. To liberate the people of all ethnic groups who were oppressed by the Tusi and absorb them into the Han nationality was the basic requirement of the Zhou Shi relative to the local government. Integrate the backward with the advanced, rather than replace the advanced with backwardness. With the Han nationality as the main body, it absorbs people from all over the world, no longer distinguishes between ethnic groups, and is all Han people from now on.
In order to integrate forces to eliminate the Manchu Qing Dynasty, Zhou Shixiang relied on the generals of the military system, even those civilian officials, who were also swayed by the army. From the former military headquarters and the Qi Palace, to the current Dadu Governor's Mansion, all of them replaced the former civilian system with a highly centralized way, and the will and voice of the army were like the voice of the entire Dingwu Imperial Court. This is obviously militarism.
A combination of nationalism and militarism, what is not fascism?
The interests of the Taiping Army are the interests of the entire Ming Dynasty, so putting the army first will inevitably give rise to the germ of fascism in the army.
Whether fascism is right or wrong, Zhou Shixiang is not good to evaluate, because what he is doing now is the concrete embodiment of this doctrine.
All for the sake of the nation!
But history tells Zhou Shixiang that fascism is a vicious beast, and its appearance will turn a country upside down. Therefore, if he allowed the army to remain under the specter of the Fassi period, one day, the beast might turn against its master.
However, it is undeniable that the spiritual concept of fascism is extremely incompatible with today's China and the Han nationality, a nation that has suffered heavy losses.
No one can better reflect the harm of foreign invasion to China than Zhou Shixiang, so if what he does is really the fascist spirit, and his subordinates awaken the fascist beast prematurely, Zhou Shixiang will still not change. Because, the Taiping Army is now and for a long time to come, it is the vanguard of the Han nationality, and everything this army strives for is for the Han nationality and China!
Taking 10,000 steps back, any form of government and any doctrine arises because there is a suitable soil for its growth. Where there is demand, there will be supply.
Zhou Shixiang knew very well that at the moment he needed fascism, or militarism, to help him eliminate the Manchus, unify China, and then obtain greater land and benefits for the Han people in this world. Therefore, he will not interfere with the giant beast hidden in the hearts of these young officers, and even, in the future, he will release that giant beast.
China has never lacked heroes, and the giant beast can be released and taken back. Zhou Shixiang believes that future generations will not be stupider than himself.
All he could do was to leave an empire for posterity, an empire that would revive the glory of the Han Chinese.
........
Luo Lun and the other ten students were still kneeling in the wind and rain, but their handsome left in the wind and rain.
Zhou Shixiang did not give Luo Lun any answers, although he knew that what happened at the Army University would soon spread throughout Jiangnan, the whole south, and even all of China. But he still didn't make any moves to cheer his subordinates.
As before, no one knew what was going on in their handsome mind at the moment. The accompanying civil and military only knew that after the marshal got on the horse, he suddenly looked back at Luo Lun and the others who were still kneeling in the wind and rain.
After retracting his appreciative gaze, Zhou Shi instructed the blind man Li beside him: "That kid is quite kind, you tell the horse harrier of the New First Army to let him leave a seat in the brigade school." ”
"Hey!"
The blind man Li agreed to come down, and the handsome asked to leave a seat in the brigade school, which was obviously reserved for Na Luo Lun, and this kid seemed to have fallen into the eyes of the big handsome. Thinking of this, the blind man Li couldn't help but feel warm, could it be that the handsome man had really decided to be the emperor, otherwise how could he be so blue-eyed to Luo Lun's kid.
"Dashuai, that..."
The blind man Li wanted to strike while the iron was hot, but others didn't dare to ask, but he dared to ask. But as soon as he opened his mouth, he was glared at by Zhou Shixiang, and he couldn't help but put the next words into his stomach.
"Go back."
Zhou Shixiang raised his horsewhip and rode away against the wind.
......
In the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, the first assistant Guo Zhiqi was already furious, because the evil deeds of the gentry mentioned in the posters shown to him by Zhou Shixiang were really intolerable.
Guo Zhiqi was holding a report from the Jianghuai Economic and Strategic Envoy Si Yamen, saying that whenever the landlords in the Suzhou area went to the countryside, the tenants would offer their wives and daughters for their sexual pleasure. In some lands, the wives and daughters of tenants are mainly taken a fancy to, so in the name of service, they summon people to their homes to spoil them at will.
There is a landlord named Cheng Wanyou in Huai'an, who has more than 10,000 acres of fertile land and 100 concubines. This man is a prostitute, and there are many women near and far who are defiled by him. Wang Kaichen, a large landowner in Cao County, owned thousands of acres of land, and the tenant women he fancied were all ruined by him.
In addition to the landlords and gentry, some monks also had no king's law. For example, there is a temple in northern Jiangsu that is as famous as Shoushan Temple, and the monks in the temple often have many wives and concubines. The monks of Yangzhou Gaoyou Shengshou Temple are all looking for flowers and willows. Local slang: "Eighteen families in front of the temple and behind the temple are all monks." ”
The landlord's ruining of the tenants' wives and daughters, and the monks' destruction of people's innocence were not enough to make the Shoufu University scholars angry, and what made him angry was not only the landlords in Jiangbei, but also the gentry in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and other places who openly claimed that they had the "right of first night" to the wives and daughters of the tenants. If a tenant in their name marries, he must first let them sleep with him, and then the tenant can bring them home to have sex with them.
Some shameless literati also said that this was to ask the master to break the melon, and it was a blessing that the tenants had cultivated in their previous lives. After the master breaks the melon, they can go lucky. If you don't break the melon for the master, they will always have bad luck.
Some tenants had to swallow their anger because they could not resist the landlords and gentry who had status, money, and the right to speak, and colluded with the government. For this reason, some places have the same custom of "dropping the head" as in the Mengyuan and Yuan dynasties.
"What a bastard! The Ming Dynasty has not heard of this evil thing for more than 200 years, and today, this evil thing has revived! ”
The more Guo Zhiqi thought about it, the more angry he became, and slapped it on the table, if everyone in the local gentry was like these landlords, wouldn't the people of the Ming Dynasty be living in dire straits.
"What are you doing with such a big fire?"
Zhou Shixiang pushed the door in, because he was in a hurry to meet Guo Zhiqi, and the wet clothes on his body had not been changed.
"It's all true?" Guo Zhiqi asked, pointing to the pile of stickers on the table.
"I don't think they dare lie to me."
Zhou Shixiang picked up a sticker that fell from the table from the ground, "Elder Ge doesn't think it's strange, there were no such things before, but now there are?" ”
"Your Highness sits down and speaks."
Seeing that Zhou Shixiang was still wearing wet clothes, Guo Zhiqi hurriedly asked him to change so as not to get sick. Zhou Shixiang said that it was okay.
"I didn't believe it at first, but then I had to believe it, because it's human nature."
"Why do you say that?"
"Have you ever heard that bad money drives out good money?"
Guo Zhiqi was stunned and asked Zhou Shixiang to elaborate. Zhou Shi's reason for expelling bad money from good money was simply explained, and he also gave an example of copper coins. Guo Zhiqi understood the truth as soon as he heard it, but what does this matter have to do with what those stickers said.
Zhou Shixiang shook his head and said: "The good people are dead, and the bad people are in charge." Since Jiashen, whether it is in the north or in the south, most of the truly virtuous gentlemen, the gentry who cherish their family and country and the world, have a conscience and do not act mischiefly, resist the Qing Dynasty and die, and the rest of the people, the elder of the pavilion said that they are good people or bad people? ”
Guo Zhiqi said disapprerovingly: "You can't knock over a boatload of people with one shot." ”
Zhou Shixiang nodded and said, "Elder Ge is right, the rest of the people are not all bad people, but there are more bad people among these people. The imperial power of our dynasty does not go to the countryside, only to the level of the county, and the countryside is governed by these landlords and gentry. The world is peaceful, the national law is strict, and when the rule of officials has not collapsed, even if there are evil gentry and bad tycoons, they will never dare to act so recklessly. But once the world collapses, does the elder think that these evil gentlemen who have neither integrity nor conscience will do anything good? ”
After speaking, Zhou Shixiang threw the sticker in his hand on the table and continued: "The land of northern Jiangsu is also a place where the literary style is very prosperous, and it stands to reason that there will be no people like Cheng Wanyou and Wang Kaichen, but the fact is that this kind of person now accounts for the majority. I have heard that if a local tenant asks for a wife, it is a great perverse thing not to send her to the landlord's bed on the first night of their wedding. will be accused of immorality, just ask Ge Lao, how is this kind of thing immoral? How can a woman be born a moral thing? I'm afraid that's not how the saints taught the world. ”
"This..."
Guo Zhiqi only felt that there was nowhere to vent the fire in his heart, how could these gentry be so brazen!
"There is a landlord surnamed Zhang in Zhejiang, who was raised during the Chongzhen period, because he secretly reported the whereabouts of Cangshui Gong to the Qing army, so he was captured by my soldiers and locked up in the local ancestral hall. Because there were still Qing army stragglers in the left vicinity, those soldiers asked the tenants surnamed Zhang to come and detain him, and they went to suppress those Qing army stragglers. I didn't want to, but the tenant beat the landlord surnamed Zhang to death with a stick at night, and later interrogation only found out that the tenant's daughter-in-law slept with the landlord on the first night of marriage, and later gave birth to a baby boy, because he didn't think he looked like it, so he fell to death. As a result, the landlord took the tenant's son and beat him to death. You say, is this miserable or not? ”
"Damn it!"
Guo Zhiqi was really annoyed.
Zhou Shixiang also sighed, and then picked out another one, and said: "This piece of the post says that Chen, the tenant of the landlord Shan Mou of Changzhou Wujin, discussed with Shan Mou because his son was older and wanted to take his daughter-in-law. Does the elder know, what did this Shan say? ”
"How so? Nine out of thirteen can't be returned? ”
Guo Zhiqi subconsciously thought that this Shan Mou must have taken the opportunity to put usurious goods, because this is the only way for the landlord to collect money. But Zhou Shixiang shook his head and said: "If this is the case, it is not shameless." That Shan Mou told Chen Mou not to worry, he would definitely help with marrying a daughter-in-law, but this new daughter-in-law brought him into the house, but he wanted him to go the first night. Shan said clearly, if Chen responded to this, it would be the Chen family who made a big profit, because Chen just didn't agree, as long as he asked for his daughter-in-law, would Chen dare not give it? ”
"What's the truth about that?!"
Guo Zhiqi also laughed angrily, this Shan is really shameless, why did he ask for someone's daughter-in-law, and they would give it!
"The truth is so simple, because this Shan is a landlord and gentry, for tenants, they are officials, they are heaven, who dares to disobey!"
Zhou Shixiang sneered, "Speaking of which, Shan is still good, and he is always willing to lend money to tenants to beg for a daughter-in-law, compared with Song Juren in Anqing, he is a great good person." ”
"Listening to His Highness's tone, this Song Juren is afraid that he is a great traitor."
"This Song Juren is no longer a great traitor, and it can be described as a great evil. His tenant Wang married a wife, and Song broke into Wang's house that night and ruined his wife, and the queen mother dissuaded him and was strangled to death by his order. The women in the Song Ju's family, whether they were old, ugly, handsome, or even full of scars and numbness, were all ruined by him, and they were called 'trying the new'. ”
"There really are such lawless people!"
"The piles and piles I said are all true, and the stickers here are also true, if the elder does not believe it, he can make people check it. In addition to those who did evil, there were also those who colluded with the Manchus and betrayed our righteous people to resist the Qing Dynasty. ”
"Why weren't these things before?"
。。。。。。。
"How so? Nine out of thirteen can't be returned? ”
Guo Zhiqi subconsciously thought that this Shan Mou must have taken the opportunity to put usurious goods, because this is the only way for the landlord to collect money. But Zhou Shixiang shook his head and said: "If this is the case, it is not shameless." That Shan Mou told Chen Mou not to worry, he would definitely help with marrying a daughter-in-law, but this new daughter-in-law brought him into the house, but he wanted him to go the first night. Shan said clearly, if Chen responded to this, it would be the Chen family who made a big profit, because Chen just didn't agree, as long as he asked for his daughter-in-law, would Chen dare not give it? ”
