Volume D Chapter 5 Peasant Association
There is nothing big about commercial matters except for taking the Coal and Iron Factory Co., Ltd. to the United States for listing. Among them, Yang Rui was the trial production of diesel engines and hot ball machines from Jiangnan Shipyard. The diesel engines are more difficult, but hot ball machines are not difficult. A batch of large-scale fishing boats with bone hulls can be released at the beginning of next year. These fishing boats will be sold to fishing companies under the Agricultural Reclamation Company to meet the needs of the food company. However, he did not see the fishing boats in his eyes, and thought of submarines. When the plane cannot throw torpedoes, the submarines can still be scared.
Business is basically nothing, so the matter of the Education Association is relatively big. Jiang Weiqiao detailed the surprise changes over the past two months: "At the beginning, we were detained, Duan Fang personally asked, saying why there were so many revolutionary parties in the schools under the Education Association. I said that the court has not yet held a parliament, and students will inevitably go on a wrong path out of their urge to save the country. Now the court is about to hold a parliament. A strong country is in sight. So what else is there to worry about causing a revolution... He later said that the Education Association is now large, so it is better to merge it into the school department.
He said that if he had joined the school, the Shangshen might not have donated money. At this time, Duan Fang's face darkened and he left. Later I realized what they were playing was to give me Song Cen (Jin Tianhong) and Haowu (Ye Han) a third-rank rank and become an official of the Qing Dynasty. I guess he wanted to prove to the students that we were recruited by the Qing Dynasty, and there were schools under the Education Association. In addition to primary schools and middle schools, all of them had special school supervisors, and some courses were adjusted, and some things were added to the Qing Dynasty and Guangxu praised merits..."
The Qing Dynasty had taken great pains to do. However, Yang Rui still felt that it was gentle. At least you were the school principal or not the principal. But he didn't care about anything else. He just asked: "How is the Law and Political School?"
"The same is true for the Law and Political School." Jiang Weiqiao replied.
"How is the situation of the Youth League?" Yang Rui saw that he was not sure, so he had to ask again.
"It's still... it's still here." The Youth League is an organization for students, and it started to exist in middle schools. However, like the Revival Society, it is a secret organization and the activities are all underground.
"I want to see the files of young members of the Youth League. In all aspects, the education association can first perform a screening. Those with firm revolutionary will and those who are from rural areas can pass it. Those who are not from rural backgrounds but have firm revolutionary will can also be sent it, but they need to be classified." Yang Rui said this and said: "I remember that there are also youth league organizations in the factory. As long as they have firm revolutionary will, they can be sent it."
Seeing Yang Rui's seriousness, Jiang Weiqiao nodded heavily. After saying the key things, he hurriedly arranged them. Jiang Weiqiao left, and the next person he wanted to see was Wang Xiaolin. The China Times was blocked, which greatly affected the propaganda of the Revival Society. After all, tabloids from all over the world could not compare with the China Times with an international perspective.
Wang Xiaolin was the first group of students in the management training class, and began to rise from the Su Bao case. He was considered the Minister of the Publicity and Propaganda of the Revival Society. Although he had a very high position in the Revival Society, he still thought he was Yang Rui's student. He didn't dare to sit in front of Yang Rui, but he was just offended in the room. With his green shirt, it looked like a postbox of a letter bureau. Seeing him like this, Yang Rui didn't want to force him to sit down, but just asked: "What have you been busy with during this period?"
"After the China Times was sealed, it is now revealing Manren's shortcomings, and the following is promoting the massacres in Hangzhou and Shaoxing. "When Wang Xiaolin spoke, he was very serious, and he was working hard, as if he was solving a math problem. "By the way, Qiu Jin's tomb was destroyed by Manren again, and he has been moved several times."
Cheng Wu first told Yang Rui that after the capture of Hangzhou, the Shaoxing militia under Tao Chengzhang had no way to resist and was driven to the mountains. When Qiu Jin returned to Shaoxing to investigate the news, she was recognized by the yamen runners in the former Shaoxing yamen. After the traces were exposed, she was originally hiding in the city, but when the Qing army threatened with a fire, she came out with righteousness. Then, she was shot and died at the entrance of Xuanting that night.
The statement Yang Rui heard from Cheng Ru was that Cheng Ru said while crying, but Yang Rui couldn't cry. Qiu Jin died heroically, but the same was true for those soldiers without names. If he really wanted to cry, he couldn't finish crying. The first thing he had to do now is to stop the loss and let the remaining people in the Hangzhou Uprising survive. These immortal people are strong revolutionary soldiers. The second thing is to stabilize the internal situation, especially to stabilize the hearts of the people, so that everyone can see that the Qing Dynasty will lose and the revolution will win. Finally, it is the most difficult thing, how to transform the revival into a more thorough revolutionary party, but there is another problem. When the Qing Dynasty Congress did not completely fail, a more thorough revolution may not be recognized by all members, especially if it was not at a critical moment of life and death like Yanzhou, the routine of the land revolution would be difficult to implement.
No one's understanding can surpass his era itself. This is an established potential principle, and it is also the advantage and sorrow of time travelers. It is said to be an advantage because many of his things are leading; it is said to be sad because if he is too leading, it will not be understood by everyone. It is best to lead by one step too much, and it is best to lead by half a step. Now Yang Rui is just struggling with how to lead by half a step, especially those students in his previous life may not support him and respond to him under such leadership.
Yang Rui was distracted again. When he turned around, he saw Wang Xiaolin standing there and said, "If there is no place to bury, then it can be sent to Japan. Oh, don't send it to Japan. Just find a temple to save it. One day, we will bury them well!"
Although Wang Xiaolin was not dealing with internal affairs, since Yang Rui said it, he agreed. After he agreed, Yang Rui said again: "The purpose of claiming to the outside world is to cause chaos to the Qing Dynasty. However, the Qing Dynasty is now turning to the hearts of the people and the general trend is not something that our newspapers can shake. Now the most important thing is internal propaganda. I heard a lot of public opinion that the Hangzhou Uprising was launched by Mr. Jimin alone, and said that the Revival Association Committee made an objection. This statement must be refuted. This is the sow discord by the Qing Dynasty! The Hangzhou Uprising was the unanimous decision of the committee. Mr. Jimin was just destroyed by the Qing Dynasty's collusion with the police station in the Qing Dynasty. When we were not around, we took on the heavy responsibility of leadership and command alone. It is amazing that a literati like him can do this. Especially if he has the determination to die, this is not everyone. More people face death and are rebellious and surrendering. How can the revolution succeed without the belief of death?..."
After thinking for a long time ago, Yang Rui had to say that Cai Yuanpei's mistake was the mistake of all members, or his own. Now is not the time to settle accounts, but the time to stabilize the internal situation. However, even so, he was still worried. After explaining Wang Xiaolin, he sat in the room for a long time and finally went to the study.
After he wrote "A spark can start a prairie fire" on the manuscript paper, he quickly began to write the following:
Before the Hangzhou Uprising, many comrades based on our own strength. Based on our advanced tactics and the bravery of soldiers, they believed that as long as the red flag was beaten, the Qing Dynasty would fall immediately and the revolution could easily win, but Hangzhou's failure made this blind optimism naturally shattered in front of the guns and cannons of the Qing Dynasty.
The reason why many comrades think so is because they cannot see clearly what the Qing Dynasty is. Are they just the powerful people in the capital? Is it just five million people? Is it just a pitiful new army with little difference and patrol battalions?
None of them!
The Qing Dynasty was just a title. It not only included Manchus, powerful people, five million Manchus, new troops and patrol battalions in various places, but also gentry of all sizes, and those great young people who were deceived by the constitutional founding of the National Assembly. In addition to these, the Qing Dynasty also included various powerful powers with strong ships and cannons. It can be said that the Qing Dynasty was an extremely strict control system that was pressing on the people, and it was the sum of all vested interests at home and abroad. Although it was corrupt, it was still huge and shaky, but it never fell. This was the first lesson of the Hangzhou Uprising: we had not fully recognized our enemies before.
Foreigners, government officials, gentry, and people, these four types of people form the entire Chinese society from high to low. Everyone knows the other types, but they don’t know much about gentry. They are the foundation for the existence of the Qing court and the final end of the oppressive class. However, many of our comrades cannot recognize this. Here, we can’t help but make an example, for example, a bat. Those who have seen it will be very surprised what it is, saying it is a beast, it can fly; saying it is a bird, it can’t.
The same is true for laying eggs. In front of the government, he is the common people. If the officials are suppressed, he can plead for the people and incite the people to cause trouble. But in front of the people, he is the official and the people are disobedient, so he can use the government to intimidate. When Hangzhou was just captured, the gentry and congressmen came. When the Qing Dynasty was about to hold a parliament to encircle us, they left again. Moreover, the most heartbreaking thing is that the losses of the First Brigade were completely caused by the betrayal of the gentry.
Why do we point out the bat nature of the gentry? Because this is the second lesson of the Hangzhou Uprising: in the violently transformed revolution, we did not distinguish well those who were our friends.
Recognizing the enemy and distinguishing friends is the primary issue of the revolution, and relying on real friends to fight the real enemies is the primary strategy of the revolution. However, before this, the most important thing is to establish the confidence to win first. Some comrades who blindly regard the revolution think that our army can fight more than the Qing Dynasty, and think that the revolution can succeed if it is simple. Once it fails, some comrades think that the revolution is too difficult. This is actually two manifestations of a lack of deep understanding of the revolution. The former has been mentioned, and here we mainly talk about the latter.
Once Hangzhou failed, many comrades had no hope for the revolution and believed that the revolution had failed. My understanding was just the opposite. The Hangzhou Uprising was actually a general rehearsal of the revolution, which laid the foundation for the victory of the future revolution. Think about the vulnerable Qing Dynasty when occupying Hangzhou, and think about the army of three provinces besieged an army that lacked guns and had not completed training, and we know where our hope for the victory of the revolution lies.
With the failure of Hangzhou and the development of the Qing Dynasty abroad, the revolution has temporarily reached a low point. In the next four to five years, all we have to do is to go to various provinces to prepare for another large-scale uprising. This preparation is long and difficult, and sometimes even more unbearable, but this is the only way for the revolution to win.
Although the uprising in Hangzhou ended, the revolution in the country has just begun. Any comrade who is determined to revolution and to save the country must have the belief to persevere. This is the historical responsibility of our generation and the historical responsibility of every member of the revival.
...
Du Yaquan read Yang Rui's articles in Tonghua Arsenal. He was already used to reading Yang Rui's vernacular. At the beginning, he saw such plain words being turned into lead type printed on the magazine. If it weren't for the profound and attractive things that were said, he was just thinking whether the Revival would have to change a president.
The Hangzhou incident had a great impact on him. At first, he was excited and puzzled, and then regretful and angry. Unlike those betrayers who saw it, Du Yaquan saw that the revival would beat the Qing Dynasty with unstoppable momentum, but in the end he failed due to insufficient training and lack of guns and bullets. He even thought that if the Northeast also had a case, he would win immediately with those tens of thousands of troops. However, when he thought of the Zhejiang Front Army, which was lacking guns and bullets, and the military factory equipment that was still being installed and debugged, he gave up the idea. Now the battle is different from the past, and without sufficient ammunition, it is impossible to win.
Tonghua Arsenal brought back all military equipment in June. Everything happened to enter the customs, and the Qing Dynasty joined hands with the customs to start strictly investigating various materials from Tonghua Railway Company. However, it was actually too late to do so. All the things to be transported were transported in, and the equipment of the newly added sulfuric acid factory had arrived. In early August, the first bullet was built, and then the first rifle was also built. It can be said that the current Fuxing Army has truly established a foundation for gaining a foothold in Liaodong, but even so, many things should be careful. The military factory is not big. It produces one million bullets per month, one thousand imitating Mauser 96 rifles, one thousand mortar shells (the previous fantasy of producing 100,000 rounds per year could not be realized), and three thousand grenades.
Although the military factory is small, the raw materials in each of them can be self-sufficient. Steel, copper, and explosives are all produced and used by themselves. As for the secondary raw materials such as tung oil, white lead, and white tin, many of them can be found locally. What you need now is time. The longer the time, the more ammunition is produced and the stronger your strength is.
When Du Yaquan returned to Tonghua New City after reading the newspaper, the military political commissar Liu Boyuan came. Du Yaquan knew what was going on as soon as he saw him, so he hurriedly asked his assistant to bring the personnel information of the Agricultural Reclamation Company over and asked Liu Boyuan: "All the information of the members of the Agricultural Reclamation Company is here. Do you also want the agricultural trade company?"
"Farmers' Company..." Liu Boyuan only said that he wanted to reclaim the farming company before coming, but he didn't know that there was a farmer's company, "Take it over together."
"Okay, let's get it now." Du Yaquan said while asking his assistant to bring the information from the farmer company.
The agricultural reclamation company is a company that organizes immigrants to farm. There are people everywhere from Shandong to the northeast. They pull people out from Shandong, then transport them to places where exercise, give refugees a certain amount of grain and a shack, and then give them a piece of land and seed fertilizer. Then these refugees settle down here. Although it is a shack, it is also a village. During the slack farming period, the village chief will organize refugees to build better houses. In addition to the house, the land is also distributed to them. However, the expenses, seeds, land, and farm tools from Shandong to the reclamation are all calculated, but the money is not much, and it can usually be paid off in about six years.
The members of the Revival Company of the Agricultural Reclamation Company are the village heads and team leaders of each village. They are actually refugees who came earlier. Because they are capable and enthusiastic, they joined the Revival Society after inspection. It is unknown how many of these people are included in the Association because of their livelihood or really because of the revolution.
Excluding agricultural reclamation companies, agricultural traders are companies that collect agricultural goods and sell agricultural supplies. Each market has a shop of agricultural traders. In addition to refugees, there are also many early graduates of Tonghua Law and Political School. At that time, there were not many refugees, so they had to quickly train students in the school to go out for use. Unlike members of agricultural reclamation companies, members of agricultural traders are basically revolutionaries. The reason is that they have seen too many sufferings among the people when they go to villages and villages. How to change this situation is often what they think.
After understanding the difference between the two, it was very easy for Liu Boyuan to choose people. He chose fewer agricultural reclamation companies and more agricultural traders companies. However, because the number of agricultural traders companies was small, he chose sixty people, and Du Yaquan shouted that he couldn't stand it. The farm traders company was responsible for a large area alone. Once these sixty people went, all the counties were empty.
Liu Boyuan's selection was actually due to Yang Rui's arrangement. When he was sure that there were only ten people in Shanghai, he exchanged all the files to Du Yaquan, who breathed a sigh of relief.
When Liu Boyuan was working on it, Zhong Guanguang, who had just returned from Europe, looked at Yang Rui's manuscripts and asked, "Are you really going to run a school?"
"Well. I want to build a school. I originally wanted to build it in Qingdao, but I thought that it could only cover the north. In the end, I still thought it would be better to build it in Shanghai." Now Yang Rui has basically recovered his health, but his body is not as strong as before. He is very weak. "If the revival is about to transform, it must start with training."
"Training?" Zhong Guanguang asked, "What are you training?"
"Mobilize all the relevant knowledge of farmers," Yang Rui said frankly: "Now we can only go this path."
"Does you want to kill the local tyrants like Yanzhou to share the land?" Zhong Guanguang had long heard of Yang Rui's statement. He was different from Wang Jitong and was inclined to support him. As for why this happened, in Yang Rui's opinion, Wang Jitong's father, the Qing officials, have been officials for several generations, and they have a natural rejection of civil unrest. Zhong Guanguang's father was just a small dyeing shop owner and his family was not wealthy. He was valued by his private school teachers. In addition, he was active and easy to break. His father couldn't trap him, so he had to give up. Later, he finally won the scholar and shone his family.
"Yanzhou is in the context of war, and if you want to survive, you have to do this." Yang Rui thought of the current situation of the Revival Society, and felt that it would be impossible to completely kill the local tyrants and divide the land. This article can only be moved forward in a tactful way. "We can only start with the lecture."
"Teachinghouse?" Zhong Guanguan savored the name carefully. However, literally, he could not tell the name.
"It should be called a farmer's workshop." Yang Rui added: "Our members must go deep into the countryside. If they want to mobilize farmers, they must first educate farmers. The workshop is a place to educate farmers. It does not fully talk about rebellion. The course also includes some agricultural technology knowledge and health care knowledge. You can also read newspapers to farmers and talk about the forms of the country, but in the end, farmers' associations must be established in various places."
Looking at Zhong Guanguang's thinking, Yang Rui simply explained to him: "The original purpose of the Farmers Association was to resist donations, and to oppose the extortion of the yamen's yamen's yamen's yamen's yamen's yamen's yamen's yamen's yamen's yamen's yamen's yamen's yamen's yamen's yamen's yamen's yamen's yamen's yamen's yamen's yamen's yamen's yamen's yamen's yamen's yamen's yamen's yamen's yamen's yamen's yamen's yamen's yamen's yamen's yamen's yamen's yamen's yamen's yamen's yamen's yamen's yamen's yamen
Zhong Guanguang thought about what Yang Rui said and asked, "What if the resistance to donations and rent reductions are successful?"
"After success, they will think that they can also rent less during the disaster year. Farming is very hard, giving the government and landlords a little more, so that they can eat less. As long as they find that uniting can win benefits for themselves, they will earn all the benefits. It can be said that this is like a steam train. As long as it is started, it is not us pushing it away, but it drags us away." When Yang Rui said this, he couldn't help but think of seeing a brief description of the peasant association during the Great Revolution in a novel of the Republic of China. Once the peasant movement is started, it is something that even the mobilizer cannot stop it.
"But if you keep fighting like this, how can you control it?" Zhong Guangui also thought of this point.
"From the beginning, we regulate it, and control the intensity of the struggle to resist donations and fight officials, reduce rent and interest rates, and do not involve killing local tyrants and dividing land." Yang Rui has been thinking about this issue for a long time, and finally completed theories in the past few days. Of course, this is just a theory. "But if the gentry colludes with the government to eliminate the peasant association, the struggle will be escalated, and in the end, it will really kill local tyrants and dividing land. But this will only exist in a few areas." Speaking of this, Yang Rui spread out the map of China, "The relationship between landlords and tenants in the mountainous areas of southwestern Shandong is extremely bad. According to the investigation, the two hate like bandits; Taihang Mountains, with high mountains and dense forests and numerous bandits, this kind of place is all
It is a place where a base can be established. As long as a farmer's association is established in such a place, as the struggle intensifies, it will naturally develop to the point of killing local tyrants and dividing the land. However, this base cannot expand into mountain accidents, because it can survive in the mountains, and it will be difficult to survive when running outside the mountains. In other words, even if the struggle intensifies, only a few places in the country can establish bases. Because our strength is not yet great enough to occupy prefectures and counties, most of the peasant movements are gentle under the butcher knife of the Qing Dynasty, and they cannot become violent even if they want to. After all, the base can only survive in the mountains."
After Yang Rui finished his long discussion, Zhong Guanguang asked: "That means that our goal of struggle is about to change. We were full before, but now we are going to turn to the countryside."
Chapter completed!
