Volume D Chapter 11 Madness 2
Before returning to Guangdong, Xie Zhangtai explained a lot of things and told a lot of secrets, but he knew a lot less than the other committee members. This was actually determined by the nature of his work. He just needed to let him know what he needed to know. It would be useless to say more about others. When explaining various matters in the meeting, Yang Rui couldn't help but think that Cai Yuanpei was here. He was imprisoned in Beijing by the Qing Dynasty. Will he betray the secrets? There are still five years left before the matter is under investigation. If he betrays, then he will know a lot of things.
With such a question, Yang Rui found Mu Xiangyao of the Special Corps as soon as he returned to Shanghai, and he was about to report to Yang Rui that the Revival Army was surrendering in Hangzhou. "Sir, come to report to the Ninth Town. Zhao Sheng did not convince the commander Xu Shaozhen that night, but was driven out by Xu Shaozhen."
"Oh!" Yang Rui was a little surprised because the news he had received before was that Xu Shaozhen had surrendered, and then the Fuxing Army was deceived and the war was defeated. "Is the news accurate?"
"Totally accurate!" Mu Xiangyao said: "At that time, our people watched Xu Shaozhen drive Zhao Sheng out of the camp with their own eyes."
"That means that Zhao Sheng deceived us in the surrender matter?" Yang Rui asked. "By the way, where is Zhao Shengren?"
"Dead." Mu Xiangyao said.
"Die? How did you die?" Zhao Sheng was the key figure, and there were so many strange things about this.
"Yes. I died in the prison of the Governor of Liangjiang. We initially judged that Duan Fang's confidant Yu Dahong arrested Zhao Sheng halfway after Xu Shaozhen drove him out of the camp. Then he bribed Zhao Sheng's cousin Zhao Guang and spread false news to the military government. In the end, the Fuxing Army was deceived." There were too many people arrested in Hangzhou, and Mu Xiangyao spent a lot of effort to find out that Zhao Sheng died in Jiangning.
"It's so vicious!" Yang Rui sighed. "Notify the cleaning team to kill Yu Dahong and Zhao Guang. And... forget it. Just kill them both!" Yang Rui wanted to kill Duan Fang, but thought of his support for Ma'anshan Iron Factory, he gave up.
"Yes, sir." Mu Xiangyao agreed. The purge team is an assassination team. Anyone who offended the Revival Society, such as the earliest Xiao Jinfeng and Zhang Zongchang, was dealt with by them.
"Also, Beijing should pay more attention to the news about Jimin." Yang Rui said softly: "It is best to find a way to get close to him. In addition, you must pay attention to whether the situation has changed. If there is any change, you must notify the cleaning team..."
The more Yang Rui spoke, his face became darker and the more Mu Xiangyao heard it, the more surprised he heard it. He said anxiously: "Sir, Mr. Jimin won't..."
"I'm talking about what!" Yang Rui glared at him, his voice rising. "We always have to take the safety of the Revival Society as our own safety, and the interests of the Revival Society as our own interests. People will change. Especially those who have died once will change." Yang Rui was talking about Cai Yuanpei. Some of them were talking about themselves, "Everyone who has hidden dangers to Revival must be eliminated!"
"Yes, I understand." Mu Xiangyao lowered his head, but his back was covered in sweat.
"Just understand. You can make arrangements. Try to establish contact with Jimin." Yang Rui ordered.
After Mu Xiangyao left, Yang Rui was going to teach a training class for the farmers' association teachers, but he sat for a while before leaving. What Mu Xiangyao's hesitation just now made him think that if all members are loyal to the Revival Society, then all other relationships must be cut off. If teachers, students, classmates, clans, husbands and wife, father and son, etc. exist, these existing social ties will hinder the members from ‘giving’ themselves to the Revival Society, and even more hinder them from fully integrating into the Revival Society organization. But how can we do this?
The peasant training institute is the top priority for promoting rural revolution. Yang Rui has used a lot of ideas. He wanted to transfer loyal members out to do this work before, but it was inappropriate to consider it later. The rural revolution is actually divided into two processes, one is the advocacy stage and the other is the practical stage.
This can actually be seen from the current situation of the Chinese revolution. The Chinese revolution was first caused by Yan Fu, Kang Liang and others. Yan Fu's "progress" and "sustaining natural choice" and Kang Youwei's "will change when it is poor, and change when it is open, and the foundation of the original society's rule has been loosened. Although these are theories of the reformists, as long as these things are further further, they are revolutionary theories, and those who believe in these theories are revolutionaries. From this, it can be concluded that in a rural area that has not been promoted to shake the original ruling foundation, it is impossible to launch a peasant movement.
Advocate first and work harder later. Therefore, the first thing the farmers' lecturers will cultivate will be rural advocates. The contents, stories, newspapers and newspapers trained, and some easy-to-understand and inspiring songs.
The largest room on the first floor of the French Concession Apartment has been turned into a classroom. Thirty professional backbones drawn from the meeting were all moved in the room. They just waited for Yang Rui to come in from outside, and then they all stood up, then bowed and said, "Hello sir!"
Yang Rui also bowed to them slightly on the podium and said, "Hello comrades!" When he said, "Hello comrades", he suddenly thought of the time when he said, "Hello comrades!" in the Patriotic Society four years ago. Four years have passed, time flies, and his life seems to have gone through a cycle of reincarnation. I am afraid that this situation would never have been imagined at the beginning.
After everyone sat down, Yang Rui began to give a lecture: "If you want to do something well, you must first sharpen your tools. In the next few years, the countryside will be the key direction of our revolution. In order to better achieve the rural revolution, this peasant training institute was opened at the association. Although we can only train hundreds of students in each period, and only train more than 1,000 students a year, after these more than 1,000 students returned to the countryside, in the second year, more than 10,000 peasant students will be trained. In the third year, when you train more than 2,000 students, we already have nearly 100,000 students in the countryside. If this is inferred, if not five years, there will be more than one million peasant students in China."
Since we want to become crazy about the organization, we must speak exaggeratedly. Sure enough, the exaggerated number ten times makes everyone in the sitting look excited. One million people, that is equivalent to more than 30,000 students per person. However, Yang Rui's crazy words have not yet ended. He continued to brag: "In terms of China's population, there are not many students. However, this million people will lead tens of millions, or even tens of millions of farmers, to fight against the Qing Dynasty. These million people will be an irresistible force. They will subdue the Qing court, scare foreigners to the point of being at a loss, and will wash away the whole of China, thus creating a brand new China.
Comrades! This is a glorious and great task. Each of you must do everything you can to do. Only when you work well will the rural revolution be carried out vigorously, the revolution can succeed as soon as possible, and the country and nation can be free from dire straits. Therefore, you cannot relax at all!"
Yang Rui stopped again when he said this. His eyes swept through the whole room, then waved his hand and said, "But there are always some people who are not serious about their work and regard the national rejuvenation as a joke. Therefore, you must expose each other, and pull out such counter-revolutionaries and fake revolutionaries, and nail him to the pillar of shame in history, and leave him in danger for thousands of years. Do you understand?!"
Everyone was shocked by Yang Rui's momentum and immediately stood up and replied, "Yes, sir!"
"Very good!" Yang Rui's tone became smaller. He felt that his speech was very similar to the speeches of the head teacher and the principal when he was a child. However, when he was about to be proud, a thick eyebrows and bitter face who had not said 'ok' just now stood up. He raised his hand nervously, and then Yang Rui nodded slightly and said nervously: "First... sir, do this... I mean exposing each other, he will make comrades..."
When he raised his hand, Yang Rui had already guessed what he was going to say. When he was stuttering, he interrupted him roughly and said, "Name, number?"
"Liu...Liu Youren, number 004276." He stood up, and although he was trembling, he still said his name and number.
Yang Rui glanced at him and said to everyone in the room: "Who else has the same idea as him?" No one said anything, and Yang Rui asked again: "Who else has the same idea as him?" Still no one said anything.
"Very good!" Yang Rui looked at the people for a long time before he spitting out these two words. Liu Youren, who was standing at this time, was already sweating, but Yang Rui suddenly slapped the table with one hand and shouted: "The harm of counter-revolution to revolution is ten times more than that of the Qing Dynasty! If we cannot eliminate these people in the organization, the future revolution will fail like Hangzhou! Unity is not the unity between comrades, but the unity of the entire Revival Society. Loyalty is not the loyalty of comrades and comrades, but the loyalty to the Revival Society. Do you understand?!"
After Yang Rui finished speaking these words loudly, Liu Youren was almost slumped on the ground. At this time, the guards outside heard Yang Rui yelling and had already passed the door. Yang Rui pointed at Liu Youren and said indifferently: "Take him out and see if he is a Qing Dynasty detective!"
The guard rushed in and dragged Liu Youren out directly. Liu Youren was probably frightened. His bitter face was pale like a piece of rice paper. His teeth were frightened and twitched constantly. He wanted to speak but couldn't speak. He only looked at Yang Rui with extremely begging eyes when he dragged him across the podium. Yang Rui just smiled and dragged him out like a dead dog. He believed that since he had said something, this man must have been thrown into the Huangpu River to plant lotus roots. He came back to his senses and looked at the students in the room. They were sitting more upright than before.
Even more satisfied - according to sociological theory, a practical organization, people should be friendly and trusting to each other, but a frenzy organization, people must suspicion between each other. This mutual suspicion will bring mutual fear, and this fear will unite everyone around the leader, and will also support their revolution when they are weak. The Political Department will be the direct department led by Yang Rui in the future, and it will be the engine of the frenzy and revival society. Creating fear will be one of its main tasks [Note:].
After Liu Youren's episode was performed, the students sat more properly. Yang Rui started his lecture as if nothing had happened: "Cultivating rural cadres is the top priority of the rural revolution, but what are the actual steps to mobilize farmers? According to the current situation, the first is advocacy and then the actual action. Therefore, the lecture will be divided into two classes. One class trains advocates, and they are all selected scholars and good speakers. For them, they will focus on cultivating their ability to speak, write, and mobilize public opinion, while the other class is a practical person. It will be their responsibility to launch a substantial movement.
There are many advocates in the Revival Society, but not many are really familiar with rural culture. Most of the articles and plays we write are for scholars, and illiterate farmers cannot understand them. Moreover, the dialects in different places are very different, so when cultivating advocates, we can only teach some commonalities of advocacy, so that they can return to their hometown and write and promote according to the actual situation. The best advocacy works I have ever seen for farmers," Yang Rui still paused. Then he said: "It was Chen Tianhua's sudden turn." He said, turning on the lesson plan, and then said: "Let's read it together, and it starts with 'pain only pain'."
"The pain is only painful, in the year of Sino-Japanese War, the defeat was fought; the pain is only painful, in the year of Gengzi, the injury was tragically killed..." Yang Rui read the beginning and let them read on their own. The sound of reading was loud at the beginning, as if the fear brought by Liu Youren just now could only be vented through reading aloud. However, Chen Tianhua's writing turned around was indeed very good. The format of xxx, xxx, xxxx, xxxx, is very catchy, and the effect after superposition made the students who were devoted to reading aloud cry. Yang Rui just waited for them to read: "I'm afraid. To be Australia, we must destroy the seeds; to be Miao Yao, we will gradually disappear." Then they stopped.
Then he said: "This is the advocacy article suitable for farmers to listen to. The reason why we couldn't write it before was because we couldn't do it. At the same time, we had never lived in the countryside. Art always comes from life. But it is higher than life. Therefore, it is extremely rare for an excellent advocator. Comrade Zou Rong and Mr. Taiyan are both like this before, but it is even more rare for a advocate rooted in the countryside, because his works are closer to farmers, and their natural spread range will have a greater impact. In future training, you must work hard to discover talents in this area."
After saying that, the advocate was followed by the practical man, "What kind of person is the easiest to revolution?" Yang Rui asked, but no one dared to answer, so he had to say down by himself: "Everyone would guess that it is the most miserable peasant, right? But this is extremely wrong! The farmers who are not full every day think about it is very simple, just to have enough food. In order to have enough food, they have to work hard every day. Do they want to revolution? Maybe they think, but they are very busy and have no time to revolution. Once the revolution is revolution, they will have no food to eat the next day. Therefore, poor peasants are not the target of our revolution, at least not at the beginning.
But it is not that farmers cannot start? Nor, there is a kind of farmer who can start, that is, those who have just become poor, or those who are poor and now poor, their status decline will make them dissatisfied, especially after being promoted by advocacy, the miserable situation will make them feel even more resentful. However, we should note that it is not only "loss" that can make people dissatisfied, and "get" often also dissatisfied. The French Revolution was not because the peasants lost their land, but because they obtained the land. At that time, farmers already owned one-third of the land, but they wanted more, so some people said, "The better the French, the more they felt that their situation was unbearable.' Therefore, people who just became poor and became rich were potential targets of the revolution.
Who else is there except these two types of people? Those who have not fulfilled all their wishes. These people include scholars after the abolition of the imperial examination, new soldiers who retired from the army, people who want to do nothing, criminals, in short, all people who have been abandoned by society, clans, and families. They are the best raw materials for the revolution. What I want to add here is that one of the most important tasks of the advocate is to break up the existing social relations, including clans and families. Only those single individuals who have been broken up can join the revolution. Therefore, anti-clan and anti-family are necessary for revolutionary advocacy. In other words, the revolutionary organization is actually a net, which can only capture those fish that slipped through the net in the old society and those who are dissatisfied with the old society. The advocates must use a dagger to throw a gun to break up the original relationship of the old society to pieces. In this way, the power of the revolution can be strengthened."
Ethics has been passed down in China for more than two thousand years, which is the basis for a stable society of Confucianism. In the moment when Yang Rui had not experienced the May Fourth New Culture Movement, he was surprised by the remarks of breaking the clan, especially the family. However, he had already found a solution: "Destroying clans and families is necessary for the revolution. Since revolution is to be revolutionized, we cannot keep a small family and forget everyone. Those revolutionaries who have families in their hearts are not excellent revolutionaries. You must remember that no matter how cruel we do, no matter how human we have, is for the revolution! In order not to be destroyed by the country and the nation, any revolutionary must think that everything we do is worth it..."
Yang Rui's final speech "for the revolution" gave everyone a happy liberation and gave them a freedom to do whatever they wanted. However, when he helped everyone to free him, no one came to free him. He only felt that his steps were getting heavier and he frowned tighter and his hair fell more and more. In order not to get lost in the madness he created, he began to write a diary. He naively thought that even if he was lost that day, he could still find himself in the diary.
"Mr. Taiyan is here." Cheng Xu said to Yang Rui, who was fighting a bunch of vegetables in the kitchen. In addition to diary, the trivialities of daily life can also make him forget that he is a leader, for example, he is a relatively bad chef now. In his own words in his diary, "Nothing is more ironic than this: a person who desperately wants to destroy his family relies on his family to seek warmth and retain humanity."
"Oh. Is he here?" Yang Rui wiped his hands on the apron. He seemed to be able to guess why Zhang Taiyan came.
Zhang Taiyan did come for Liu Youren. He had read this person's resume, was a refugee, and was the first group leader of the group in the immigration group. He was later promoted to the garrison, village chief, and district chief because of his outstanding performance. Zhang Taiyan had never been to the Northeast, but he was always very curious about it. So yesterday or at another time, I saw this Liu Youren. Although the refugee was not well educated, Zhang Taiyan admired him very much, thinking that this person should be considered a person like Mozi and set a good example for the organization to serve the people.
"It turns out, what happened to Liu Youren? I heard that he is now recognized as a visitor to the Qing Dynasty. He served as a servant for the Qing Dynasty government, but this was before going to the Northeast." Zhang Taiyan was very anxious when he heard about Liu Youren's affairs. He was panting when he ran over hurriedly.
"I don't know if he was a Qing Dynasty scholar, but he had a feudal idea of benevolence, which is something that he had to criticize. Revival would not require a slight love, but only unity and loyalty - unity and loyalty to the organization, rather than unity and loyalty between people. We should be as warm as spring to comrades, and ruthless as autumn sweeping the fallen leaves. Liu Youren has feudal thoughts, and I can't treat him as a comrade." Looking at Zhang Taiyan's anxious appearance, Yang Rui patiently explained the fact that for a very small number of people who were not crazy, Yang Rui deliberately retained them, and his purpose was to ensure that he was not possessed by the devil.
Zhang Taiyan had already learned about this matter very clearly before coming, and he asked anxiously: "It's true! Is what Liu Youren said wrong? The report is only for those traitors and traitors, not for his own comrades."
"Comrade?!" Yang Rui sneered: "Liu Guanghan was also a comrade before, but why did he betray? If the people around him always had a skeptical attitude, then things in Hangzhou would not have happened."
"Liu Guanghan has a problem. But you can't doubt everyone in the Fuxing Society just because Liu Guanghan is alone, as this will cause chaos." Because Zhang Taiyan, who is a fellow Chinese scholar, had a good relationship with Liu Guanghan before and believed that he would be able to become the next generation of commissioners.
"What you want is chaos!" Yang Rui said viciously: "The rules of the law are not the law. The law would rather let go than kill the wrong ones; the rules of the law would rather kill the wrong ones than let go."
"But..." Zhang Taiyan was stunned by Yang Rui's murderous aura. He finally said: "Doing this will scare all members and will eventually ruin the Revival Club."
"What you want is everyone's fear!" Yang Rui said with great affirmation, "It's just an idiot dreaming of the group's friendship! While asking everyone to unite, be equal and free, the revolutionary party is invincible and defeated. Is this possible? Look at the Tongmenghui, it's the end of unity, friendship, equal and freedom. Brother Mei, do you hope that we are the same as Tongmenghui?" Yang Rui's rebellious question left Zhang Taiyan speechless. The reason why the Revival Society has combat effectiveness than the Alliance is that the organizational construction is better than the Tongmenghui and the discipline is stricter than the Tongmenghui.
"What should we do in the future? What should we do in the future if this continues?" Zhang Taiyan could not argue anything on the meeting rules, and only thought about the future of the Revival Society.
"It will end when it is time to end." Looking at Zhang Taiyan, Wei Zheng, with a confused look on his face, Yang Rui said lightly. (To be continued...)
