Crimson Dawn

"Wen Qing, is the people's revolution going to kill all the landlords and gentry?" Chen Tianhua asked.This is a question he has never dared to ask.Originally, Chen Tianhua was just listening and didn't want to speak.But now, he also had to ask this question.This is Xu Xilin's bottom line.

Chen Ke stretched out his left hand and made a gesture of recommendation towards You Gou. "We ask Comrade Yougou to answer this question."

Chen Tianhua had a very good impression of You Gou, but he hadn't heard You Gou talk about anything related to the revolution, and You Gou gave Chen Tianhua the impression that he was an engineer, not a very good lecturer, and an excellent woman .But not a staunch revolutionary.Seeing Chen Ke recommending You Gou to speak, Chen Tianhua looked at You Gou with slightly startled eyes.

"Ah?" You Gou didn't expect Chen Ke to recommend him to answer the question of revolution. This question has always been discussed intensely by Chen Ke and the others.

"I can't tell." You Gou quickly refused.

"Just tell us what you think about the issue just now at the Star Station. We are all comrades, so if you can speak freely, there is nothing you can't say." Chen Ke smiled encouragingly.

"Miss You, must the people's revolution kill all the landlords and gentry?" Now that Chen Ke has said so, Chen Tianhua also wants to see the attitude of the comrades in the revolutionary party.he asked seriously.

"If the landlords and gentry oppose the people's revolution by force, then there is only... um, if they attack first, we can't sit still, can we?"

Never fire the first shot!You Gou's answer made Chen Ke's heart burst into laughter.This kind of measured fighting skills really satisfied Chen Ke.Chen Ke never taught Yougou about this aspect, and he didn't even talk about it with his comrades.So he was happy in his heart, but he was waiting for the question and answer later.You Gou can show his personal aptitude. Whether this aptitude can meet the needs of the struggle, Chen Ke is looking forward to it.

"Then how does Miss You plan to get along with the gentry?"

"Industry is very profitable, everyone can make money together."

"The people's revolution that brother Wen Qing said conflicts with the revolution of capital owners. What does Miss You Gou think?"

"We won't bully them, and they can't bully us. This, this..., under the new system, everyone will not bully others, nor will they be bullied. How wonderful."

Hearing this, not only Chen Ke, but everyone else couldn't help nodding slightly.You Gou seemed to answer in a straightforward manner, but she stuck to one important point - the new system.Everyone present will not misunderstand that the new system You Gou mentioned is a new system established by the people's revolution, not a capitalist system.

Sure enough, You Gou continued, "Wen Qing told us about the European textile mills, the British sheep cannibalism, and the European slave trade. I read books in Germany and heard about slave trade. China can't do that. That's too bad. That's not right."

Chen Tianhua has a lot of knowledge, and he is not ignorant of the world. He also knows a thing or two about what You Gou said.And he has no reason to refute Yougou's point of view.After pondering for a while, Chen Tianhua asked: "That is to say, if the gentry also follow the people's revolution that brother Wen Qing said, then they can also live a good life. The revolution will not attack them?"

You Gou heard some revolutionary truths from Chen Ke, and also thought about some revolutionary things, but he didn't think deeply about it.If what she said earlier was only describing the part of the revolutionary theory that she could agree with, after hearing Chen Tianhua's words, You Gou suddenly felt enlightened.

"Wen Qing said before that the new system is an industrial system. In industrialized China, everyone can produce goods that far exceed their own needs, and then through equal transactions, everyone can live a good life. This It is a good system that everyone can live in. If you are dissatisfied with this system, you are too greedy. You want to get all the benefits. Such people must be defeated."

Chen Tianhua originally thought that You Gou would narrate radical revolutionary principles like Chen Ke, but he didn't expect You Gou to say so.This answer full of feminine characteristics is exactly the same as Chen Ke's original intention, but it just puts the people's revolution on the "bullyed" side.It sounds rather pitiful.

After this person has read the book, especially women, they are different!Chen Tianhua praised in his heart.Recalling what Chen Ke said just now, "Even if it is reasonable, people here are highly educated, and it is easy to deceive uneducated people." When Chen Ke said it just now, he was arrogant and cruel, but listening After hearing You Gou's answer, Chen Tianhua was deeply impressed by Chen Ke's comment.

Seeing Chen Tianhua's thoughtful silence, Hua Xiongmao smiled and said, "How about it, Xingtai, our comrades here are very unusual."

Chen Tianhua didn't feel disgusted by such a boastful performance, he nodded in agreement.

"Actually, I have asked Wen Qing a long time ago, and Wen Qing has always answered this way. Xingtai, you are also a scholar, and you have traveled so many places. You must know how bad those rich and powerful people are. Don't teach me a lesson. They won't listen to them. Wen Qing said that the revolution is not about killing people, but about saving people. Those bad guys, if you don't teach them a lesson, they will be unscrupulous. In the end, it didn't end well." Hua Xiongmao Usually not very talkative, at the party meeting, Zhou Yuanxiao was the most silent, and Hua Xiongmao was the second least talkative.

"Brother Zheng Lan said yes, but Brother Wen Qing's theory... ah, it's too murderous." Chen Tianhua sighed.

Hearing this, Chen Ke could barely hold back his smile. A revolutionary like Chen Tianhua said that he had too much murderous intent. What's wrong with this?

Qi Huishen didn't have Chen Ke's self-restraint, he immediately replied: "Xingtai said so, I have to tell Wen Qing a few words. Ever since Wen Qing came to Shanghai, we have been with Wen Qing. Wen Qing treats people with tolerance and honesty. , this revolutionary theory is just discussing the facts, not too murderous."

When Chen Tianhua first arrived, he found that Chen Ke was far inferior to himself in explaining the truth of the revolution.Since the comrades of Chen Ke's political party have listened to his speech, it can be seen that they admire him very much.Chen Tianhua thought he could pull them over.Unexpectedly, at the critical moment, these people were all on Chen Ke's side from theory to emotion, and no one supported him.The original thoughts of looking down on Chen Ke have disappeared.It seems that it is impossible to persuade Chen Ke, and the party members who persuade Chen Ke seem to have no hope.If I want to make some progress, I can only talk about it here first.Thinking of this, Chen Tianhua asked a question that should have been asked a long time ago, "Brother Wen Qing, what is the name of our party?"

"We haven't named it yet."

Hearing this, Chen Tianhua almost laughed out loud.He knows that everyone has been here for two months, but up to now a political party has no name.You know, if you change to another political party, the name has been discussed long ago.

"Do you have any opinions on the name of this party?" Chen Tianhua asked.

"Xingtai, although you are the head of propaganda, you can't let you do this." To Chen Tianhua's surprise, Qi Huishen and Hua Xiongmao, who were not always following Chen Ke closely, were You Gou.

You Gou didn't stop saying this, she slapped the table, "Since Wen Qing keeps talking about the people's revolution, let's call it the People's Party."

"Not bad, not bad." Hua Xiongmao said with a smile.

Qi Huishen also had no objection.According to the process of the party meeting, everyone voted.Although Chen Tianhua had his own ideas, he also understood that even if he opposed this matter, it would be useless, so he voted unanimously.The name of the People's Party was settled.

Then Chen Ke's performance surprised Chen Tianhua, Chen Ke didn't wantonly appoint officials, and gave everyone some flashy titles.Or lay down a lot of rules.Chen Ke first revised the "Three Principles of Party Member Behavior" of the People's Party,

[-]. Combining theory with practice,

[-]. Close contact with the masses,

[-]. Criticism and self-criticism.

Regarding these three items, Chen Ke's statement is very interesting. "Our current theory is not clear enough, and everyone is a party member, and there are no masses. Therefore, now we should criticize and self-criticize first. Tang Taizong said that people can be used as a mirror to understand gains and losses. Since we are Chinese, then The inheritance of Chinese culture takes people as a mirror, and to put it bluntly, it means accepting criticism from comrades. Only in this way can we know whether there is any problem with our work and our usual words and deeds.”

Although everyone may not really take this seriously in their hearts, it is true.So he nodded and said yes.

Chen Ke went on to say: "Have you read the Lun Yu? Everyone nodded in agreement. In the Analects of Confucius, it is said that I examine myself three times a day-do I not be loyal to others? Do I not believe it when I make friends? Is it not good to pass it on? This is self-criticism. Although it is not the same as what we said, the knowledge of the ancestors is not low. What the ancestors said is still the three principles I put forward."

Chen Tianhua was a little dumbfounded by this, the current revolutionary party is openly against Confucianism and Confucianism, Chen Ke's style of doing the opposite made Chen Tianhua a little puzzled.However, what happened next was not only puzzled, but also made Chen Tianhua laugh out loud.

Chen Ke required that every party meeting should be criticized and self-criticized at the end. "If there is no deliberate criticism at the beginning, don't be afraid. Is it polite to see people speaking, and is what you say in a proper way? These are all the content of criticism, and this is the focus of criticism."

What kind of political party is this? This is a school.Can such a group of people be taught to revolutionize?When Chen Ke talked about the revolution, he was fierce and cruel, and when he did things, he would beat his mother-in-law.Chen Tianhua felt that he really couldn't understand Chen Ke.

Chen Tianhua smiled, but found that no one else was smiling.It made Chen Tianhua feel that he was inexplicably ridiculous.

Qi Hui said seriously: "Xingtai, do you know that those rich and wealthy families are the most polite, and their words and deeds must be taught. If a word or action is not in line with etiquette, you will either be punished to kneel or be punished. Or you will be punished after receiving the punishment. Kneeling is punished. Wen Qing's rules are sincere."

Chen Tianhua was a little embarrassed after hearing this.

After voting, the "Three Principles of Party Member Behavior" was unanimously passed.

Chen Ke then began to introduce the recent situation and assign everyone's work.

According to the plan, the lecture under the signboard of Shanghai Renxin Medical College will start in two days.The external part is mainly chemistry lectures centered on "The Story of Candles".The chemistry class for the progressive youth will officially start tomorrow, and Chen Ke entrusts You Gou with this task.Next, Chen Ke will personally give a lecture on Yan Fu's "Ethics of Heaven".After this course, Chen Ke will talk about "Materialist View of History".

Hua Xiongmao is in charge of continuing to sell medicines and is looking for an engineering team.Qi Huishen is responsible for the overall operation of the lecture activities, including outreach and material mobilization.Zhou Yuanxiao is in charge of guarding the base camp - the cloth dyeing workshop.Lectures for progressive youth will be held here.

Chen Tianhua will be responsible for editing the lecture manuscript together with Chen Ke.And compiled into a lecture collection at the end.Chen Kelian has already chosen the name, and it is called "Inheritance of Chinese Culture and Rise of Materialism".Not only that, around this lecture, Chen Ke will run a newspaper called "Whampoa Review".The newspaper is now distributed free of charge to those who attend the Great Lecture as a gift.Promote new schools.

In the end, Chen Ke said that if this lecture can achieve his hope, then he will work hard to establish a reading organization called Whampoa Society.

Other comrades think that such an arrangement is very feasible, and there is no other problem except that it costs more money.Chen Tianhua remembered the Huaxing Club he organized with Huang Xing and others, the whole process was exactly the same as Chen Ke's.But because of someone's betrayal, the uprising failed before it launched.From his temptations, Chen Ke knew nothing about this matter, and his words did not seem to be lying.If this is the case, then it can only be said that the hero sees the same thing.But Chen Tianhua felt uneasy. He tentatively asked: "Wen Qing, since you want to overthrow the Manchu Qing, an armed uprising is necessary. Will you plan to launch an uprising in Shanghai in the future?"

"I will not launch an uprising in Shanghai. The enemy's strength here in Shanghai is too strong. Launching an uprising will just let comrades die in vain. If you want to start an uprising, it must be done where the enemy's power is weakest."

"Does Wenqing still want to launch an uprising in Anhui according to what he said earlier?"

Chen Ke did not answer Chen Tianhua's question directly, but said seriously: "Xingtai, I want to emphasize the difference between the people's revolution and the bourgeois revolution. The uprising of the people's revolution is not that we want to launch an uprising, and then try to trick the people into doing it for us. Die. The uprising of the people's revolution means that the people themselves can't bear it anymore and they want to rise up against the old system. What we have to do is to connect with the masses, and then lead them to fight against tyranny and build a bright new world. This is what we need to die first Things. So if you are not prepared, don’t talk about an uprising. Otherwise, you will be irresponsible to yourself. Not only will you die, but you will also let a large group of people die with you. It is wrong to do so.”

Seeing that Chen Tianhua didn't understand what he said, Chen Ke went on to say: "As for the uprising, we will discuss it after our big lecture is completed and everyone has accumulated theoretical knowledge. People rebelled, but it deviated from the original intention of the big lecture.”

"Isn't Wenqing holding this big lecture for the sake of revolution?" Chen Tianhua was even more surprised.

"The revolution is to save people. After this great lecture, knowledge is popularized, and people who listen to this lecture can benefit at least. This in itself is part of the social revolution. The purpose of the revolution is to promote the progress of the country, which is the ultimate goal. The purpose. Gathering comrades through this big lecture is the purpose of this event. The uprising is not considered at all.”

Seeing that there were no objections from everyone, Chen Ke announced the adjournment of the meeting.

The following week can be said to be the most interesting week Chen Tianhua has ever spent.Although there are all kinds of doubts in my heart, my days are very fulfilling.All the people around don't have so much reason and don't have so much dissatisfaction.In addition to busy work or busy work.

Chen Tianhua finally understood why comrades in the party always follow Chen Ke. Apart from arranging work, Chen Ke has been working personally and always picks the most difficult work.When arranging the venue, Chen Ke always chooses to carry tables and stools, which contribute the most.After the lecture, Du Zhenghui and other peripheral comrades were still immersed in the excitement of the course. When discussing the content of the course, Chen Ke was the first to roll up his sleeves to clean up the venue.After inspecting the venue, it was found that Chen Ke was still the one who solved various minor problems.It seems that wherever Chen Ke goes, there will be jobs.And Chen Ke always settles these things as if nothing had happened.The whole lecture went on smoothly like this.

After finishing his work during the day, Chen Ke spent almost all night writing manuscripts at night. The next morning, when Chen Tianhua woke up, the neat manuscripts had already been placed on the table.Chen Ke was sleeping on the recliner next to him with his clothes on.What Chen Tianhua has to do is to read these manuscripts, and discuss with Chen Ke if there is anything he doesn't understand. If there are no other problems, Chen Tianhua will revise the manuscripts and change them into words that ordinary people can understand.There are arguments, but no quarrels.Everything can be discussed face to face, without hiding it.

Not just one or two days, during the week of You Gou's lecture, Chen Ke never took off his clothes and slept, except for taking a bath every morning and evening.

What made Chen Tianhua even more strange was that the comrades were not surprised by this.Because they were equally busy, Yougou asked for help, but Chen Ke let Yougou concentrate on practicing and lecturing.As long as he has free time, Chen Ke, He Zudao and Zhou Yuanxiao will watch You Gou prepare lessons together.He Zudao asked questions about things he didn't understand, and Chen Ke commented on You Gou's lecture behavior.Although Zhou Yuanxiao still doesn't like to talk, he will occasionally put forward some opinions.

Hua Xiongmao and Qi Huishen are so busy every day that they are hardly seen.Every time I come back, I either bring money or a thick "Whampoa Review".Qi Hui heard a word deeply, lead by example.These People's Party comrades set an example, and the young people who helped out were lazy at first, but soon felt embarrassed.In a few days, the working style of the whole team has changed a lot.As the lecture went on day by day, not only did everyone not slack off, on the contrary, they felt a little more energetic.

There are quite a few young people who have seen this, and young people who actively ask to join have also begun to appear.

This is really something Chen Tianhua has never seen before. A team and organization are so alive and contagious.

Until the seventh day of the lecture, before someone came to make trouble, Chen Tianhua even thought that the lecture would go on smoothly and orderly like this.
