Crimson Dawn

As a person in the 21st century, Chen Ke doesn't like Peking Opera or local opera.Naturally, I have heard this southern Tanci occasionally, but I haven't studied it.Looking at the young people around Chen Tianhua, they all listened attentively, with solemn expressions.It was listening to Chen Ke's "political class". Although everyone was serious, they didn't seem to be so concerned.Chen Ke felt that it was very wise for him to seek Chen Tianhua.But I couldn't help feeling a little jealous in my heart.This little mood swing made Chen Ke feel ashamed for a while.Feeling jealous of comrades is really not what a communist should have.Knocking his head with his hand, Chen Ke walked to the table lightly with the food and wine, and put the things on the table.

"Brother Chen is back." Chen Tianhua hurriedly stopped playing, and everyone helped to arrange the food and drinks.

"Mr. Tianhua, continue singing." Chen Ke said.

Chen Tianhua smiled, "The food and wine are all set up, I'll sing later. I'm really hungry."

Everyone knew that Chen Tianhua kept the etiquette, and after a burst of laughter, they all poured wine into their glasses.

"I think everyone has already introduced it, so let me tell you more. This is Mr. Chen Tianhua, a revolutionary comrade invited by Qiu Jin's sister from Japan. Come, let's toast Mr. Chen." Chen Ke raised his glass after speaking .

Everyone introduced themselves one after another, and then clinked glasses with Chen Tianhua.After everyone drank the glass of wine, Chen Ke refilled it for everyone, "Comrades, I invited Mr. Chen Tianhua here this time because I want Mr. Tianhua to join us in the revolution together. So, comrades, we must I want to keep Mr. Chen."

Everyone roared with laughter. Chen Tianhua didn't expect Chen Ke to speak so directly, but he is still a character, and he has no stage fright. "I appreciate Mr. Wen Qing's kindness. Let me toast everyone."

He drank the second cup and poured the third cup.

Hua Xiongmao said with a smile: "Mr. Chen, I can't take it lightly. I haven't read any books, but I have heard of Mr. Chen's name. Since Mr. Chen can come here, I have to stay for a few more years anyway. .Come on, Mr. Chen, let me toast you with this glass of wine."

Everyone drank this glass of wine together, Chen Ke put down the glass, "I never like to drink too much, after drinking these three glasses, everyone can do whatever they want afterwards."

"Mr. Chen, I am here mainly because Mr. Qiu Jin conveyed Mr. Chen's kindness. I will not be rewarded for nothing. I will visit Mr. Chen no matter what. I don't know what Mr. Chen can teach me."

"My surname is Chen, and your surname is also Chen. If I get close, we can be regarded as the same family. So don't talk about Mr. Chen, you can call me Biaozi, Wen Qing. I don't know what Mr. Tianhua calls him?"

"Example star station."

"Brother Xingtai, we are all young people, so I won't be too polite. When I invite Xingtai to come, I don't need to talk about major issues. I just want to invite Xingtai to join us in the revolution."

After hearing Chen Ke's words, Chen Tianhua's face was a little confused.He looked at Chen Ke with a slight frown. The revolution of this year was nothing more than the overthrow of the Manchu Qing Dynasty. Chen Ke said this carelessly, and then looked at the expressions of the other people around him, which made Chen Tianhua confused. .This group of men and women are dressed in clothes that are either rich or noble. Are they revolutionaries or a group of crazy students?

"I don't know what kind of revolutionary law brother Wenqing is?" Chen Tianhua asked.

"The revolution is not to kill people, but to save people. Since it is to save people, the first thing to do is to feed everyone. Xingtai, look." Chen Ke said while pointing to other people who had already started to move their chopsticks , "If we want to eat enough, we have to move the chopsticks together with everyone. So, let's start." Having said this, Chen Ke paused, and then said in Japanese: "Yitada kimasi. (Japanese: I started) "

Chen Tianhua didn't know that Chen Ke could understand Japanese, so he was slightly taken aback, seeing that Chen Ke had already moved his chopsticks after he finished speaking.He was really hungry right now, and his chopsticks immediately reached for the fried tofu closest to him.Everyone at the table was from unusual backgrounds, and everyone kept quiet while eating.In addition, they are all young people, so there are not so many restraints.Everyone didn't let the food go, they ate like a storm, and the plates were empty in a few minutes.

After the meal, mung bean soup was served, and each person drank one to two bowls according to their own appetite.Then they cleaned up the table together, washed the dishes, and then sat back at the table again.

The people who work together have long been accustomed to this way of collective life, and Chen Tianhua joined in very smoothly.Everyone looked at me and I looked at you, and suddenly laughed together.

Hua Xiongmao patted Chen Tianhua on the shoulder, "Brother Xingtai, judging by the way you eat, you are not an ordinary person. It would be a pity not to revolutionize."

Chen Tianhua cupped his hands at everyone, "Everyone, we met by chance. Thanks to everyone, but Tianhua has seen many revolutions. Up to now, I am still wanted by the Qing Dynasty. I appreciate your kindness. If you want Tianhua to join , you have to listen to me first."

"All ears." Qi Hui said with great interest.

Chen Tianhua said with emotion: "I have ten principles of revolution. First, we must know that the disaster of this partition is not only the subjugation of the country, but also the seeds of fire. Second, we must know that after the countries have partitioned China, the Manchurian government must still be left to suppress the Han people. Thirdly, it is important to know that things have gone up to this day, and it is absolutely impossible to talk about preparing to save the country. Only by fighting to the death can China be saved. Fourth, it is necessary to know how many more people will die at this time, and how many more people can be saved in the future. Fifth, it is necessary to know the race Two characters, the most important thing is to recognize and distinguish them clearly. Sixth, you must know that everyone has a share in the country, and you must not ignore it at all, and let him do whatever you want. Seventh, you must know that if you want to reject outsiders, you must first learn from the strengths of outsiders. Eighth, you must know that if you want to strengthen yourself, you must first get rid of your own shortcomings. Ninth, you must use civilization to exclude xenophobia, not barbarism. Tenth, you must know that the cause of xenophobia has no time.”

Chen Ke listened to Chen Tianhua's ten principles, and thought to himself, no wonder Chen Tianhua committed suicide in history. From his point of view, it is strange that he could find like-minded people in 1905.

After Chen Tianhua said these ten items, Chen Ke was smiling, Zhou Yuanxiao didn't respond, Qi Huishen nodded slightly, Hua Xiongmao had a narrow smile on his face, and You Gou suppressed the urge to laugh out loud.No one agrees or disagrees.

"Brother Xingtai is very good." Chen Ke praised.But Chen Tianhua heard Chen Ke's tone was only polite, but there was no excitement or other emotions.Chen Tianhua's heart shuddered.When ordinary revolutionaries hear these words, they either agree or have doubts.Unexpectedly, these people are accustomed to this, and it seems that they are really a revolutionary party.

"When I talk about revolution, the first thing is to do it. If you only talk about the truth, you can talk about it. Xingtai knows the truth of revolution, but I want to ask, what the Xingtai said, you must use civilization to exclude xenophobia, not barbarism. This matter What is the station going to do?"

Chen Tianhua said with emotion, "Establishment of schools will popularize education. The education of various countries has been explained before. China is still unable to open schools at this time, and there is really no way to save it. Make speeches and spread ideas! Speech is the first thing to open up the atmosphere. With three or four people, we have to give a speech. If you want to save the country, you can't stand it. Promote women's education and cultivate the foundation. Ladies and gentlemen! The fallacy that women have no talents is virtue, which is really harmful. Foreign women's knowledge and men's The same, so they can be good husbands and children. Chinese women have no knowledge at all, and their husbands and sons are not only unable to benefit from him, but also hindered by him a lot. Often people with great ambitions are wasted in loving wives and loving mothers. Men spend half their lives in In the hands of women, women have no education, it is basically broken, where can there be good branches and leaves?"

Chen Ke really didn't know much about Chen Tianhua. Hearing Chen Tianhua talk so eloquently, his color really changed.Not only Chen Ke, but everyone else's expression changed drastically.

Chen Tianhua saw that everyone took his thoughts seriously now, he smiled, "To tell you the truth, before I came back this time, Mr. Qiu Jin said that Brother Wen Qing is a person who handles big things, with profound knowledge and sharp thinking. I have been in Shanghai for less than two months, and I have created a big business from nothing. Mr. Qiu Jin asked me to help Brother Wenqing. Although I was wanted by the Qing Dynasty, Mr. Qiu Jin persuaded me, and I came back. As soon as I entered the door, I saw Ms. You giving lectures in public, and she was talking about chemistry. She is really a role model among women. And I heard from everyone that Mr. Wen Qing is going to run a school, give lectures, set up seminars, and cram schools. I know Wen Qing Mr. Qing's plan is very big. In this case, Brother Wen Qing might as well tell me what your plan is and how you want me to work. I'm all ears."

Chen Tianhua talked eloquently, and everything he said was the main points.You Gou couldn't help but smile when he heard Chen Tianhua highly praised himself as a woman and the great significance of being able to give lectures.Although Chen Ke is usually respected by everyone, he rarely impresses others like this.Facing a revolutionary propagandist like Chen Tianhua, Chen Ke was really impressed.There is specialization in art, and Chen Tianhua is better than himself in this respect, not at 01:30.

"Xingtai tells the truth, and I have to be honest with each other. I invited Xingtai to serve as the propaganda minister of our party. I talk about revolution and know the truth. But I don't know how. Going to tell everyone, I absolutely believe in the ability of Xingtai in publicity. I didn’t expect Xingtai to come to us so soon. Brother Tai will help you with all your strength. I wonder if Brother Xingtai will be willing?"

Everyone has always respected Chen Ke very much.This kind of respect comes from Chen Ke's profound knowledge, especially Chen Ke's ruthlessness in doing things.Chen Ke is able to stand on the front line of work with his own body, doing the most and resting the least.He can come up with a solution to everything he encounters, and he can lead his comrades to solve the problem.This is why everyone is willing to follow Chen Ke.

Chen Tianhua is another type, his words are sharp and provocative.Speaking of the profound principles of revolution, everyone can feel a kind of high spirit after just getting along with each other for such a short time.After listening to the conversation between Chen Ke and Chen Tianhua, everyone understood that Chen Ke had long wanted to recruit Chen Tianhua into the team and take up the position of propaganda minister.For this idea, everyone felt that it was a match made in heaven.

Qi Huishen always believed that Chen Ke's abilities were far from being fully utilized, and at this time he was even more firm in his point of view.Chen Ke usually doesn't talk that much, but just by recruiting Chen Tianhua, it can be seen that Chen Ke has a deep understanding of the current talents.It can even be said to be far-sighted.He hurriedly said: "Brother Xingtai, we are very thirsty for you now. No matter what, we must ask Brother Xingtai to join us in the revolution together."

"Brother Wenqing, I wonder if your revolution will overthrow the Qing Dynasty by force." Chen Tianhua asked.

"Of course it will be overthrown by force."

"How are you going to overthrow it?"

"First build a base area. Then gradually expand. It is the road of first revolutionary separatism, then expansion of the liberated areas, and finally the unification of China."

"Where does this revolutionary base begin?"

"Anhui."

"Anhui?" Chen Tianhua frowned after hearing this, "Since the uprising is going to start in Anhui, why is it developing in Shanghai now?"

"I need to gather party members and train cadres."

Chen Tianhua still didn't quite understand Chen Ke's train of thought, "The comrades gathered in Shanghai went to Anhui for the revolution. Is it possible to go around such a big circle?"

"I'm not going to rely on the gentry and businessmen. The revolution cannot be achieved by relying on them." Chen Ke replied, "Why do we need a revolution in today's world? To save China. Xingtai, we save China, who do we want to save?"

Chen Tianhua thought for a moment, "Should we save the nation and survive?"

"Why did China fall to such a state? From my point of view, it's not that there is a problem with the imperial court, but that there is a problem with the system. If the revolution does not change this system and let the world replace it with a new revolutionary system, China cannot be saved. .And who suffers the most from the current system?"

"This... is the people who suffer the most." Chen Tianhua replied.

After hearing this, Chen Ke breathed a sigh of relief. Ever since Chen Tianhua began to explain the principles of revolution, Chen Ke has never been able to gain the upper hand, and even often fell behind. However, the revolution must be the people's revolution that Chen Ke hoped for. This is Chen Ke's bottom line. If Chen Tianhua's department can straighten out this position, even though Chen Tianhua is amazingly talented, Chen Ke can only use him instead of treating him as his comrade.

"Then let's look at the world today. The Manchu Qing just wanted to maintain its rule. They absolutely did not want revolution. What the gentry wanted was power. No matter what they said they wanted revolution, where did the gentry get their interests? Or Relying on the old system to obtain benefits. It’s just that the old system cannot resist foreigners, and the gentry want revolution for their own interests. This revolution is nothing more than the overthrow of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and the gentry came to power by themselves. Therefore, the gentry’s revolution is only for the sake of Self-preservation. Merchant revolution, purely for profit. Look at compradors, as long as it is profitable, it is not a problem for them to make money with foreigners. What about the people? As long as the old system is maintained, no matter who is in power at the top , the people are definitely suffering, and they are in danger. If the people's revolution starts, it will smash all these old systems to pieces, and do not establish a new system that allows all people to be free from poverty and bullying. In the new world where all the people live and work in peace and contentment, the revolutionary people will never give up."

After saying this in one breath, Chen Ke pointed to the big vat for dyeing cloth in the yard. "The current China is like this big vat, thick and heavy. The people are like the seedlings of the big tree under the big vat, and they are overwhelmed. This vat is full of all kinds of suffering. Every year more than 100% of the land rent, more than [-]% of the usury. Corrupt officials, corrupt officials, wizards, foreign religions, there are all kinds of broken things in this tank. But the people have to drink the water in this tank in order to survive. So this should have The seedlings that became towering trees were suppressed, poisoned, or died young, or grew into ghosts and monsters. But once the tank was broken, a new era opened, and the seedlings of this big tree could grow freely. Sunshine , air, water, everything that the people need, can be obtained. Then the seedlings will grow into towering trees. The reason why the big trees were not seen before is that this vat is causing trouble. Our revolution is to destroy the old system. Open the glorious future of the people's revolution."

This is Chen Ke's first analysis of the revolutionary situation, because the partners he is cooperating with are all from gentry, landlord, and comprador background.There is even Hua Xiongmao, a martial artist, in it.If we don't let everyone understand the world and the economy first, but blindly promote the core interests of the revolution, if we can't keep it, our small group will be torn apart.

Everyone has his or her own class. If comrades cannot rely on the revolution to gain benefits, and cannot rely on the revolution to settle down, Chen Ke, as a "revolutionary leader", just blindly asks comrades to dedicate everything and sacrifice everything.Chen Ke didn't believe that someone would actually do this.If there is such a person, Chen Ke will not hesitate to think that this person is a lunatic.

So Chen Ke is always very careful to do things, to guide comrades.But Chen Tianhua's arrival forced Chen Ke to say such words.In other words, Chen Tianhua has aroused the comrades' interest in the revolution and paved the way for Chen Ke to follow this thread and talk about some core issues of the revolution.

Chen Ke's historical knowledge is not rich, he did not know that Chen Tianhua participated in the Huaxing Society uprising.Chen Ke thought that Chen Tianhua was just an outstanding propagandist who went to study and study abroad.So Chen Ke thought that Chen Tianhua might not accept what he said.Unexpectedly, not only did Chen Tianhua not object, but he kept nodding with a serious expression. "What Brother Wen Qing said is very true. After hearing what Brother Wen Qing said... Mr. Qiu Jin praised Brother Wen Qing so much, it is really not a lie."

Other comrades have heard some revolutionary truths from Chen Ke before, but the gap in the middle is too large, and it is always like seeing flowers in a fog.Listening to Chen Tianhua's words, everyone felt high-spirited and excited. Chen Tianhua explained clearly some things within reach and the actual situation everyone had to face.Moreover, the solution proposed by Chen Tianhua is also very feasible.It seems that as long as you do it, you can change China and save China.

In this mood, everyone listened to Chen Ke's words again, and things that were not easy to understand before suddenly became clear.But everything Chen Ke said was to tear off the surface of the world and point out the truth of the world to everyone.The more you can see the world clearly, the more you will feel the simplicity and cruelty of the world, and the depth and sharpness of the contradictions.Everyone's mood changed from passionate to heavy.For a moment no one spoke.

"Xingtai, would you be willing to temporarily serve as the propaganda minister of our party. I desperately need someone like you, Tianhua, to join me now." Chen Ke asked seriously regardless of the silence of his comrades.

"Brother Wen Qing, I am willing to join." Chen Tianhua replied without thinking.
