Crimson Dawn

Chapter 64

As soon as the Beijing Party group meeting was held in 1905, it immediately entered a level of tension.Although the volume was suppressed, Wu Xingchen's speech was full of gunpowder.He directly questioned what Chen Ke was going to do to Pang Zi.Chen Tianhua was also very concerned about this matter, he stared at Chen Ke.I only heard Chen Ke say in his usual calm tone: "I can't promote an uprising that is bound to fail. It's not responsible to anyone, it's harming people."

Although the tone is calm, but these words are tit for tat.It was quite different from Chen Ke's usual gentle attitude.

"Are you saying that Pang Zi and the others are looking for death?" Wu Xingchen was also extremely unaccustomed to Chen Ke's attitude, so he asked in surprise.

"That's right. That's what I mean." Chen Ke's eyes fell brightly and sharply on Wu Xingchen's face. Wu Xingchen seemed to be unable to stand Chen Ke's attitude, and lowered his head with a guilty conscience.However, Chen Ke didn't intend to let Wu Xingchen go. He asked, "Brother Wu, what do you think Brother Pang and the others are going to do? What is their purpose of rebelling?"

Wu Xingchen didn't answer.Chen Ke didn't mean to ask for the result. He continued on his own, "It's nothing more than revenge. To put it bluntly, when Uncle Jing was alive, Brother Pang's social status was higher than it is now. It's much higher. And maybe the Pang Brothers now want to recapture those happy days back then."

After hearing this, Wu Xingchen and Chen Tianhua changed their expressions at the same time.This is the theory of punishing one's heart. If you say that, it already means that Chen Ke will not be polite in the slightest.A sense of trembling came from Wu Xingchen's heart.That's right, this is the Chen Ke that Wu Xingchen has always been afraid of.From the first day he met Chen Ke, no matter how sincere or gentle Chen Ke's attitude was, Wu Xingchen always faintly felt that there was a ruthless Chen Ke under these appearances.

This is not because of Chen Ke's hypocrisy, but precisely because Chen Ke is not hypocritical. In the party class, Chen Ke told everyone the truth of the world very rationally.If you are only a moderate person, you will never have such an understanding.When a rational person utters a result that is completely based on theoretical calculations, it must be Chen Ke's current appearance.Wu Xingchen didn't think Chen Ke was wrong.

Before coming to Hebei, Wu Xingchen's idea was to contact these old brothers whom he hadn't seen for a long time, and then plan big things together.As a result, Wu Xingchen immediately felt disappointed as soon as he came into contact with the brothers.His first feeling was that these brothers were not as good as before.In the past, at any rate, the brothers still had enthusiasm and that kind of innocent and straightforward friendship.After experiencing failure, although the brothers were not completely defeated, they became a lot deeper one by one.To put it bluntly, it is a lot of shade.

Wu Xingchen can understand these, only because he himself has experienced such days.If he hadn't met Chen Ke, if he hadn't listened to the party lectures of the People's Party, Wu Xingchen might not be able to liberate himself from such resentful emotions.Wu Xingchen was very clear about Pang Zi's small plan, and Wu Xingchen could probably guess Chen Ke's response, but it was just a perfunctory one, and then everyone went their own way and single-plank bridge.Wu Xingchen absolutely did not want Pang Zi to lose this opportunity and embark on a path doomed to failure.

"Wen Qing, Pang Zi is not sensible. I don't understand revolution, but I understand some. Can you tell me what to do. I will carry out the revolution." Wu Xingchen made the last effort.Chen Ke never talked about specific methods, Wu Xingchen actually had some doubts, and Chen Ke himself didn't know how to promote the revolution.

After listening to Wu Xingchen's words, Chen Ke's expression suddenly softened, and a heartfelt joyful smile appeared on his face.This surprised both Wu Xingchen and Chen Tianhua.

"Yes. How about we start discussing this issue now?" Chen Ke replied with a smile.

"Great!" Chen Tianhua said with bright eyes, he was very eager to know what to do about this problem.

"Our revolutionary party is alone and alone. If we stand up and confront the Manchus directly, we are doomed to fail. But the strength of the Manchus is nothing compared to the people. Therefore, we must promote the people's revolution."

This is nonsense that has been said many times before, Wu Xingchen and Chen Tianhua don't care.They stared at Chen Ke, waiting for the key part below.

"Revolution requires war, and war requires death. I would like to ask a question, why do you let everyone follow you to death? Brother Wu first."

Wu Xingchen did not expect Chen Ke to start asking questions so soon. In fact, he has never understood this question.Back then, Yihequan either used the banner of the prince of Beijing, or played some invulnerable tricks, or played some gods and ghosts, or burned incense and worshiped tricks. Plus other messy buddies loyalty or something.Basically forcing people to die.Wu Xingchen has personally experienced the result of doing this. It may be effective in the early stage, but these mobs will immediately fall apart in the face of a powerful enemy.Once those who had local appeal died, these organizations became a passing phenomenon, never to be reorganized.

Since Wu Xingchen couldn't think clearly, he simply didn't bother. "Wen Qing, tell me what's going on."

"Let me give you an example of Uncle Jing. Uncle Jing Tingbin is first and foremost a martial artist. This means that he has status and influence in the countryside. Uncle Jing has always upheld justice in the countryside and helped everyone distinguish right from wrong. Many things in the countryside Well, what Uncle Jing said is fine, what do you think it means?"

Wu Xingchen and Chen Tianhua knew that what they said was definitely not what Chen Ke meant, so they simply didn't bother, they shook their heads together.

"This shows that Uncle Jing has the ability to enforce the law in the countryside. It is administrative power."

Seeing that neither of the two comrades had figured it out, Chen Ke explained: "That is to say, Uncle Jing has power in the local area and can formulate and uphold the rules. Uncle Jing said that their rules don’t count, and these rules don’t count. Uncle Jing said that the rules count, only this kind of rules count.”

"Hey! As expected." Wu Xingchen nodded in agreement.From Wu Xingchen's point of view, it was just Uncle Jing's charisma, but after hearing what Chen Ke said, Uncle Jing's power had a deeper meaning.

"This is the power of the country." Chen Tianhua also nodded in praise.

"So, when Uncle Jing beat the church, everyone followed. First, it is true that the villains in the church did all kinds of evil. Everyone hated them. Second, since Uncle Jing is the local rule, how can he tell everyone to do anything? , then everyone will follow the rules and go with Uncle Jing."

Wu Xingchen no longer had the original resentment at this time, and nodded while listening.

"Then, let me tell you about the revolution." Chen Ke said with a smile, "The basic appearance of the revolution is the same as that of Uncle Jing. In the revolutionary areas and base areas, there are only rules made by the revolutionary government, and no rules made by others. It's revolution."

"Then what should we do?" Wu Xingchen asked.

"What is the program of the People's Party? What kind of country do you want to build? Once you understand this, you will know what the rules of the revolution should be."

Hearing what Chen Ke said, Wu Xingchen became anxious at the time, "Wen Qing, how do I know what you are going to be like. When you talk about the future, you talk endlessly. There are dozens of departments, each The shit functions of the departments are different. Who can remember. I just want to start a revolution in a county and a few villages. If you tell me about the world, I can’t do it.”

Wu Xingchen's complaint reminded Chen Ke that there was a party meeting before, and everyone must ask Chen Ke to talk about what China should look like after the successful revolution.Forced to do nothing, Chen Ke had no choice but to describe China's national organizational structure in the 21st century.This set of lengthy narration has turned off almost everyone's appetite.Thinking of this, he chuckled, "Brother Wu, why did I take everyone to see the Beiyang Army's exercise? Once tens of thousands of Beiyang troops arrive in a county, a few villages, you just build these places like iron cylinders. Still not good. The revolution must be the revolution of the whole world, what can a small piece of land do?"

"I know it's okay if the territory is too small. But everyone knows me in this village, but when I leave this village, no one knows me when I go to other villages. How can I go to other places for revolution?"

"No, no, your idea is completely wrong." Chen Ke shook his head lightly, "Brother Wu, you mentioned that different villages have different situations. Then let me ask you, in this world, every village has some things that are exactly the same Yes. Tell me what is the same thing?"

Wu Xingchen lowered his head and pondered, what is the same?Just as he was thinking about it, he heard Chen Tianhua say with emotion: "In this world, there are bullies in every village, and there are still such a group of people. Corrupt officials, powerful landlords. The people who are bullied are the same, they are all bullies. Ordinary people who work hard to cultivate. That's right, Wen Qing."

Hearing this, Chen Ke felt very relieved.It was only two months ago that Chen Tianhua seriously asked if the people's revolution advocated by Chen Ke meant to kill all the landlords.During the speech, he paid much attention to the safety of the landlords during the revolution.Now, Chen Tianhua has been able to realize that both the government and the landlords are classes that jointly oppress the common people.Chen Ke couldn't help being excited by such a change.

Chen Ke never dared to adopt the brainwashing education model to instill the concept of "class struggle" in Chen Tianhua and others.After all, the comrades of the people's party are all from the old class. If they can't realize this spontaneously, even if it is Chen Kekou's brilliant lotus, let them understand it theoretically.But these comrades may not be convinced in their hearts.It may not be true that there is a determination to "do not overthrow the landlord class" towards the landlord class.But what Chen Tianhua said today has proved that Chen Tianhua has spontaneously developed a sense of resistance to the landlords.

"What Xingtai said is not bad at all. Brother Wu, what do you think?" Chen Ke asked Wu Xingchen.

Contrary to Chen Ke's expectation, Wu Xingchen did not express his opinion directly.He frowned slightly, thinking about something.Seeing him like this, Chen Ke was not in a hurry.Having said so much just now, Chen Ke was also thinking about the specific revolutionary steps for a while, what should he say. "Without investigation, there is no right to speak." Chen Ke has seen records about rural areas in history books, and he actually wants to investigate.But now I really can't find the time.If Wu Xingchen is willing to start a revolution in the northern countryside, Chen Ke actually quite supports it.Moreover, he considered that there should be no problem in letting Chen Tianhua go to the countryside with Wu Xingchen to conduct social investigations.Since Chen Tianhua was able to realize that the landlords are the oppressive class in the countryside, it can be said to be a huge leap forward.It was time to truly entrust Chen Tianhua with a heavy responsibility.

While thinking about it, Wu Xingchen said hesitantly: "These are all from the folks in the village. If you talk about revolution, these are all relatives."

This statement made Chen Ke very speechless.How could Wu Xingchen have such thoughts?Chen Ke knew a little about the clans in the countryside, and his biggest impression was that the clan forces must be completely smashed.Because the clans in the countryside hold too much power.A meeting of clan elders can decide the life and death of clan members.This is unacceptable for a modern industrial country.In modern industrialized countries, state agencies have full executive and judicial power.Not to mention the power of life and death in the clan, even if it is a fight between two brothers, the elders have no right to take compulsory measures against the members.But Chen Ke could understand Wu Xingchen's consideration. In 1905, the state had no obligation to the people at all.The social security system was built only after the beginning of New China.Under the rule of the bald government, during the Anti-Japanese War, there were some wonderful examples where taxes decades later were collected in advance.Therefore, the clan must be united in order to be able to resist the government's excessive expropriation.However, such cases are also rare in the clan.Chen Ke felt that he had to convince Wu Xingchen.However, this question is the most difficult, and he is going to look at it from another angle.

"Brother Wu, there is a saying that if there is injustice, there will be a cry. Let me use another saying, where there is oppression, there will be resistance. In this kind of oppression and resistance, which side are you going to stand on?"

"Of course I'm on the side of resistance." Wu Xingchen said without hesitation.

"So there are so many rebels now. Some landlords rebel against taxation, some tenants rebel against landlords to seize their tenants. Some people rebel against usury and kill people. Some people are both oppressors and rebels. Which side are you going to stand on? ?” Chen Ke asked.

Now Wu Xingchen fell silent.In fact, the only ones he really wants to resist are the Manqing family.For the landlords, on the one hand, he sympathized with them being oppressed by the Qing Dynasty, but on the other hand, he was dissatisfied that they were too cruel to the poor.Chen Ke's culture brought Wu Xingchen into a confusion that he had never thought of before.

Seeing that Wu Xingchen was silent, Chen Ke said: "Okay, let's change another question. Since Brother Wu wants to make a revolution, let's talk about it more simply. The specific implementation method. Let's not talk about how to make everyone follow you and forget their lives." , let’s first talk about how to get the people to support you.”

After hearing this, Wu Xingchen became more interested.

"First, you have to let the people know that someone wants to make decisions for them. Moreover, in what ways can you make decisions for them. In fact, Uncle Jing did this back then. If Brother Wu goes to the countryside, you must determine what you want to do. What."

After hearing this, Wu Xingchen felt quite confused, to what extent should he go?According to his original thought, it was to eradicate violence and bring peace to the people.But after a deep talk with Chen Ke today, he is a little confused about who is "violent" and who is "good".

"Second, you must have an army to complete the work. Anyone who violates your rules must be able to defeat them. For example, you have wide eyes and ears to know who is being bullied. You knock on the door in the middle of the night, Ask them who was bullied and how they were bullied. Then you lead a team to help them solve the problem. After doing this for a long time, your reputation will naturally grow. People will also trust you and tip you off. Some People will even join your ranks."

Seeing that Wu Xingchen didn't speak, Chen Ke continued: "The third..."

"Wait." Wu Xingchen interrupted Chen Ke, "Wen Qing, is this your revolution?"

"Yes, help the masses, mobilize the masses, unite the masses. This is my revolutionary measure."

"Wen Qing, this is not a small matter. Don't say anything else, you do it like this. How many people have you offended? The so-called wall is overthrown by everyone, and when the time comes, who will join hands to deal with the revolution will definitely be a big deal."

Chen Ke replied frankly: "I know. I told Brother Pang last time that he can do whatever he wants. As long as he doesn't start the people's revolution, he is doomed to a crushing defeat and will put himself His life was lost in vain."

Wu Xingchen fell silent, originally he was worried that Chen Ke would give up on Pang Zi.If Pang Zi didn't get Chen Ke's guidance, he would rebel rashly and be doomed to fail.That's why Wu Xingchen wanted Chen Ke to tell the specific steps of the revolution. In his imagination, as long as he could get these specific methods and strategies, even if Chen Ke ignored Pang Zi, Wu Xingchen himself could help.But I didn't expect that Chen Ke would propose such a real people's revolution.After listening to these simple narrations, Wu Xingchen could imagine what kind of fierce confrontation such a revolution would cause.This is no longer a revolution, but death.

"Is there no other way? Wen Qing."

"Then what does Brother Wu want Brother Pang to get?" Chen Ke asked back with a smile.

Yeah, what do you want the fat man to get?Wu Xingchen suddenly remembered Chen Ke's previous words, "Brother Pang, what are they going to do? What is the purpose of their rebellion? It's nothing more than revenge. To put it bluntly, when Uncle Jing was alive, Brother Pang's The social status is much higher than it is now. Maybe Brother Pang wants to recapture those happy days back then."

Not long ago, Wu Xingchen believed that this was just Chen Ke's opinion.But now it seems that Chen Ke is the same as before, but he just told the cold reality.Looking carefully at Chen Ke, Wu Xingchen still saw the expression he was familiar with.Every time after Chen Ke finished such an analysis, he neither complacent nor showed the slightest pity.Facing the speechless comrades, Chen Ke was expressionless, and even felt a little lonely.Looking at Chen Tianhua next to him, he saw Chen Tianhua frowning slightly, probably thinking over Chen Ke's words.As for his expression, I think it should be a kind of helplessness and anxiety.

It was only after Wu Xingchen joined the People's Party that he really came into contact with the revolution.During these few months, Wu Xingchen thought he had learned a lot.But after talking about the actual operation today, Wu Xingchen realized that compared with Chen Ke, he only had a superficial understanding of revolution.Such a sense of frustration and loss.And after thinking deeply about the revolution, I realized what kind of huge hostile forces I had to face.These heavy emotions were mixed together, and Wu Xingchen suddenly thought of a question.What kind of person is Chen Ke?

At this moment, Chen Ke smiled and said: "Brother Wu, these enemies are nothing to be afraid of. Believe me, if it is a real people's revolution, we will definitely be able to crush these enemies. We will definitely be able to create a powerful new China. "

These words did not inspire Wu Xingchen's courage.Recalling the impression Chen Ke left on him before, Wu Xingchen suddenly had a superstitious fear.Chen Ke seems to be the revolutionary star who descended into this world.If not for this reason, how can a person understand revolution so deeply?How can a person be strong enough to face such a huge enemy without the slightest fear?
