? "In 1616, the leader of the Jurchen tribe in Jianzhou, Nurhachi, established the Later Jin dynasty.
In 1636, Huang Taiji changed the name of the dynasty to the Qing dynasty. In 1636, Huang Taiji changed the name of the dynasty to the Qing dynasty. In 1644, the peasant general Li Zicheng captured Beijing at the end of the Ming dynasty, and the Ming dynasty fell. The Manchu Qing dynasty entered the pass. Counting from 1645 when the Manchu Qing occupied Beijing to 1860, the Manchu Qing dynasty has lasted for 215 years. I can tell you that as long as nothing happens to us, the Manchu Qing dynasty will last for another 10 years at most, which is 225 years of history. " That's 225 years of history, "Wei Ze said with a solemn expression and a heavy tone. He wasn't pretending. When he commented on a dying dynasty, Vézé did feel the weight of history.
"When the Manchu Qing dynasty was founded, they must have thought that it would last for generations. But in fact, after 200 years, the Manchu Qing dynasty will be finished, not to mention a thousand years! When the founders of the Manchu Qing dynasty saw the fall of the Ming dynasty, they certainly hoped that they wouldn't make the same mistake. They hoped that their sons and grandsons could be emperors forever, and the founding nobles hoped that their descendants could be nobles for generations to come. But we know very well that we won't let the descendants of these people continue to live. Even if they can survive, they won't have any status to speak of. "
The murderous words echoed in the conference room, and the Central Committee members listened quietly. The earliest rebels joined the Jintian Rebellion in 1851, and it had been nearly 10 years since then. After 10 years of struggle, everyone had seen the inevitability of total victory. Everyone had thought about the rewards they should receive after the establishment of the new country. They also had different expectations.
When Vézé described the present of the Manchu Qing dynasty's fall and the future of the new country's fall, everyone could understand, but they were shocked by the comparison. The Liberation Army had killed hundreds and thousands of Manchu Qing civil and military officials in the course of their rebellion. There was no need to talk about completely overthrowing Manchu Qing within ten years. Right now, however, the lands of the Manchu Qing officials and their families in the territories under the Photovoltaic Governor's Office's rule had been confiscated and their assets stripped. Although they had also been given land according to the order to not let these families starve to death, compared to the glorious days before, the families of the Manchu Qing officials had become ordinary people.
No, their status was even lower than that of ordinary people. If they were ordinary citizens, the Restored Commander-in-Chief's Office would treat them as a reliable political foundation. After stripping these people of their land and property, the entire Commander-in-Chief's Office thought that these people would bear a grudge and want to overturn the heavens. These people were in fact under surveillance. Not only did he not have the right to serve in the military, but he also did not have the opportunity to become a civil servant. These were the only two ways for the commoners to advance their status. In other words, these people had been stripped of their political power and had no chance to rise.
There was no need for Vézé to deliberately describe it. The tragic situation of the losers in the struggle for political power had clearly been created by the Restored Commander-in-Chief's Office. If the new political power that the Restored Commander-in-Chief's Office was striving to establish now failed, the result would not be better than the failure of the Manchu Qing.
Vézé had made many speeches before, and this was undoubtedly the one that greatly moved everyone present. After temporarily pausing his murderous speech, Vézé calmed his breath, and then said even more murderous words.
"Up until now, the Manchu Qing have killed so many people in the war, and we have killed so many people that many families have been wiped out. In the future war, the flames of war will engulf the entire China, and the scale of this kind of killing will only increase tenfold. Countless families will be cut off without descendants. Even the entire family will be completely wiped out. After reading the newly edited A Brief History of China, you will know that China has changed dynasties more than a dozen times, and there have been several divisions and wars that have lasted for hundreds of years. Now, the Manchu Qing is about to be destroyed. From the day we truly build a new country, if we continue to be like before, this country will also be destroyed one day. And when that day comes, our descendants will be in the same situation as the descendants of the Manchu Qing. Many of our comrades have not thought about this problem before, but I think it is not bad to think about it occasionally. "
The conference room was deathly silent, because what Vézé was talking about was death. It was not only the death of the body, but also the death in the political sense.
"We are all mortals, and we will all die. Birth, old age, illness, and death are the laws of nature, and we cannot withstand it. But the death of our bodies does not mean that we are truly dead. As long as the country we built still exists, we will always live in this country, and the people of the new country will remember the country we created for them to live in. This country, all the people of this country, are the continuation of the country we created. If the country we built perishes, the people will still be alive. But they will have nothing to do with us. For example, after the fall of the Manchu Qing, the people will still be alive, but the Manchu Qing will forever be in the trash heap of history, and they will become mere passers-by of history. History is so cruel. "
Vézé paused again. He suddenly found himself somewhat moved by his own words. During the speech, Vézé unexpectedly felt an indescribable sadness. A career is often much shorter than a person's life, and only a few careers can last for generations. Even a great career like founding a country, which can last for ten generations, will inevitably reach the end of destruction.
Those great men who were famous in their lifetime will eventually become nameless. "No flowers, no wine, no hoes, no plowing, no plowing." Those who can leave their names in Chinese history for thousands of years have become symbols of Chinese culture. Those great thinkers, such as Laozi, Confucius, Mencius, Xunzi, Li Bai, Du Fu, Bai Juyi, and even Han Fei and Li Si, are remembered for their great works. Even Yue Fei and Qin Hui, they are the clear representatives of good and evil. It has nothing to do with their own actions.
But what will Vézé and the comrades of the Restoration Society leave behind? The founders of a new country, or the founders of an even greater cause? Of course, Vézé hoped it was the latter. Because only the latter can be truly immortal.
At this moment, Vézé suddenly understood the meaning of the words "posthumous evaluation". The final verdict is the evaluation of ordinary people, including emperors. As for the immortals in history, even if they have been dead for thousands of years, they will always be remembered as long as society is not able to completely surpass them. Their ideas and ideals will always have followers. Those who need power, whether or not they truly understand the former, will not hesitate to raise the banner of these great predecessors and advance towards the goal they fought for.
Involuntarily, Vézé became absent-minded. His thoughts were immersed in understanding history until Wei Changrong shouted, "Commander-in-chief, what should we do to build a country that will last for thousands of years? Hurry up and tell me! "
Hearing such a call, Vézé was startled, and his thoughts returned to reality. He scanned the audience and saw that all the members of the Central Committee were staring at Vézé, their expressions serious and anxious. These people, who were personally burying Manchu Qing, suddenly saw Vézé show them the inevitable ending of destruction. Everyone hoped that Vézé could say a way out of this destructive ending. Their gazes were so scorching that if they could transmit the heat in their hearts, the gazes of hundreds of people would be enough to immediately set Vézé ablaze.
Vézé originally only wanted to threaten and intimidate everyone. In this era, the feudal landlord's ways were doomed. Knowing that he could not completely convince his comrades, Vézé could only use facts to scare them. But he did not expect that revealing the bloody history to everyone would have an effect that Vézé could not achieve no matter how hard he tried. Everyone really hoped that Vézé could come up with a way out of the historical cycle of dynasties. Vézé, who was confident in the development of industry during the war, didn't dare to speak with confidence anymore. This problem should be explained by Vézé, but Vézé did not have a clear theory to explain this problem.
"This problem cannot be explained in a few words. If it could be explained in a few words, then the destruction of dynasties would not have happened in this world. " Vézé cautiously chose a way to extricate himself, but in front of his comrades, Vézé did not dare to give up the right to explain this problem. Giving up the right to explain the ultimate political power problem meant that Vézé had completely given up his authority in the Restoration Society. Regardless of whether Vézé was confident or not, he had to persist. This was the inescapable responsibility of a leader.
Regaining his serious expression, Vézé continued, "But, I can tell you what history is. What happened in history, and why it happened. We can definitely build an indestructible country. On this point, I want to ask everyone, do you believe me? "
But these words did not seem to have any effect. The representatives had followed Vézé for a few years, and they had some understanding of Vézé. Vézé's expression did not look like he was extremely confident.
After working together for a few years, or even almost a decade, Vézé could also see the representatives' wavering. He calmly asked, "Before I established the General Staff Headquarters, who thought that it was possible to build an army like this, and who thought that it was possible to use troops like this? But everyone listened to me and followed my lead. But now, just one person could explain the system of the General Staff Headquarters clearly and logically. So, is it because I don't have the ability to lead everyone to this day, or is the system of the General Staff Headquarters not something that can be explained in a few words? What do you think? "
Leaders never relied on words, but on strength and achievements. When Vézé brought out the actual results, the feeling of doubt immediately disappeared.
Taking advantage of the fact that everyone's emotions had finally returned to the right track, Vézé immediately skipped over the main topic of the rise and fall of the dynasty. He said, "Now, let's discuss the land issue from the perspective of the rise and fall of the dynasty."
The representatives of the National Restoration Council held a closed-door meeting that lasted three days. Then, after a week of preparation of documents and historical documents, they held another closed-door meeting that lasted four days. Before the end of the two meetings, based on the land grant order that had been implemented in the past, the National Assembly of Representatives produced a document called "Outline of the Land Law of the Military Office of the Restoration of the Viceroy's Office". The document explained the legislative concept of the Land Law, which summarized the land issue of the traditional dynasty. In the first 50 years, the farmers had the absolute advantage, and in the 50 to 100 years, the land was frantically annexed. When the political reform caused by the annexation ended with the victory of the landlords, the dynasty would be on the road to destruction.
On the basis of this concept, the outline of the land issue became very clear. For the sake of the long-term stability of the new country in the future, the Agrarian Revolution Outline of "land is a special means of production, land is in fact owned by the state, and the tiller has land" was deduced. Moreover, this outline was unanimously approved by the National Assembly of Representatives, so it had great authority.
Of course, the beginning of the document "Outline of the Land Revolution of the Military Office of the Restoration of the Viceroy's Office" seemed to have little to do with this topic. "Political work is the core of the National Restoration Council. We need to build a political organization with iron discipline. Countless history has proven one thing: without an iron political organization, without an iron political discipline, there is no iron unshakable state. "
With the resolution and consensus of the highest authority of the Military Office of the Restoration of the Military Office, the "Outline of the Land Revolution of the Military Office of the Restoration of the Military Office" was immediately implemented in the National Restoration Council, the Liberation Army, and the Military Office of the Restoration of the Military Office. The Political Department was responsible for propaganda, the National Assembly of Representatives was responsible for the interpretation of the law, and the administrative body of the Military Office of the Restoration of the Military Office was responsible for the implementation.
Soon, the Fourth Army of the Liberation Army received the document. At this time, Shen Xin, who was in charge of research and political and ideological work in the Fourth Army, read the "Outline of the Land Law of the Military Office of the Restoration of the Military Office" and let out a long sigh of relief. After working in the Fourth Army for half a month, Shen Xin was tired and a little depressed. At this time, anger finally returned to his face.
After standing up and taking several deep breaths, Shen Xin said to Commander Lei Hu next to him, "Commander Lei, please call the cadres for a meeting. Start learning the document. "
Lei Hu had seen Shen Xin hold meetings in various units for the past half a month. Although young, Shen Xin had a rare patience. He listened more than he spoke, and he did not reprimand the soldiers who raised various questions. Lei Hu admired him for having such patience at such a young age. He knew that he could not do this no matter what.
Regarding Shen Xin's actions, Lei Hu felt that with the central government's document, Shen Xin finally did not have to be afraid of saying the wrong thing. Moreover, after reading the opening sentence of the "Outline of the Land Revolution of the Military Office of the Military Office of the Military Office of the Military Office of the Military Office of the Military Office of the Military Office of the Military Office of the Military Office, Lei Hu was keenly aware of one thing. In the past, Vézé completely eliminated the traditional model of soldiers as generals through the establishment of the General Staff Headquarters. The General Staff Headquarters built a strong army and eliminated the possibility of the army's independence to a minimum. But now, based on the system of the General Staff Headquarters, Vézé was determined to use the Political Department to establish a more powerful system.
Even though he was aware of the future of the Political Department, Lei Hu had no plans to oppose it now. For Lei Hu, Vézé's order was almost an "absolute" existence. Lei Hu neither dared nor wanted to oppose Vézé's order. If the people in the political department in the future were like Shen Xin, Lei Hu could accept it.
When Shen Xin first arrived at the Fourth Army, Lei Hu was very worried that this young man would appear with a sword in his hand. In the telegram, Vézé ordered "not to kill anyone", but if the people under him insisted on establishing their authority and asking for credit, Lei Hu would also be in a difficult position. In the Fourth Army, not only did Shen Xin not try to intensify the conflict, but he also repeatedly explained to the troops that everyone's opinion on the land issue was their personal opinion. As long as this opinion did not affect their work and intensify the conflict. This issue only existed at the level of discussion. This indeed calmed the troops who were a bit anxious after learning that Zhou Jincai had been arrested.
"Okay, I'll go now." Lei Hu responded. He wanted to see how this young man would carry out the following work.
