The reason why Wan Lei took the initiative to take on the important task of uniting the people and rallying people's hearts was mainly because he had a plan in his heart, a plan that had been buried in his heart for a long time, which was to move the world. Of course, he knew that he could do it alone.
To achieve great things, you must first form a secret party!
As a quasi-oil worker, Wan Lei knows a lot about the oil industry and naturally knows how oil giants such as Mobil and Shell run the world. And the more he learns, the more he discovers that the things behind it are not simple. As a complete conspiracy theorist,
He believed that there was an invisible hand controlling the world of the hereafter, and that was Freemasonry.
As for how the Freemasons control the world, Wan Lei only saw a glimpse of it from the Internet, but he still learned one thing: if you want to control the world, you must control resources and finance, and if you want to control resources and finance, you must first form an alliance.
The secret party integrates the national elites who occupy resources into a community of interests. To do this, you must first become a cohesive celebrity.
When such a "Freemasonry" turns into a behemoth in its own hands, when capitalism becomes bigger and stronger, and when the trend of liberal democracy is surging, what is the emperor like? If he is wise, he must learn from the British royal family and establish a constitutional monarchy;
If you don't know the truth, sooner or later you will be guillotined like the French royal family.
Of course, whether it is a constitutional monarchy or a democratic republic, the prerequisite is that capitalism develops to a strong level and the ideas of freedom and equality are deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Therefore, the road is still long. However, no matter how long the road is, as long as the goal is clear, it will reach the end.
At that time, Wan Lei knew that he had no hope of becoming an official, and he had already decided to spend his whole life poaching the walls of feudalism. To be precise, he was poaching the walls of the Ming Dynasty emperor.
"My dear emperor, if you dare to destroy my bright future as a general or prime minister, I will spend my whole life destroying your imperial power! Just wait and cry!"
Based on this understanding, Wan Lei has been working hard, such as selling the oil well to Zhao Lichang, giving the sales agent to Grandma Li, funding the construction of schools, etc., all of which are paving the way for future party formation. And now in Peking
Now that the city is in crisis, he wants to turn the crisis into an opportunity and continue to pave the way for his "revenge plan."
In fact, this is not a revenge plan. Although Wan Lei is very disappointed with the emperor's son, he will not do such things as public revenge. This is at most a public revenge, because once capitalism becomes the mainstream, feudal imperial power will soon
It has become a cancer that hinders historical progress and must be eliminated.
Of course, whether it is forming a secret party or avenging public vengeance, it must be premised on saving one's life. Now that the Tatar army has arrived at the city, Wan Lei focuses on winning people's hearts and vowing to defend the city to the death. As long as the Tatar army is approaching the city.
Guarding the city, he is one of the "protecting gods" of Peiping. Using this as a "show off" capital, are you afraid of not being famous all over the world?
As the temporary director of Peiping's "urban management", Wan Lei had to develop an organization as soon as he came up, that is, "urban management." Of course, this urban management is not that city management. The urban management under Wan Lei is called the city patrol team. This team can
They are not checking unlicensed hawkers, their main business is recruiting young people to join the army.
Wan Lei will not do the stupid thing of forcing others to go into battle to kill the enemy with a knife. The most effective way to recruit people is to use both soft and hard tactics. The soft trick is to mobilize before the war and spread overwhelming propaganda to let the people see that there is hope for defending the city.
, there is a lot to be done, joining the army is glorious and profitable. In this way, there is no fear that most of the lower class people will not respond.
With more people actively joining the army, those "stubborn" elements who passively avoid war have become a minority. At this time, the city patrol team comes into play. The people who do not join the army will catch them one by one and use them as negative teaching materials.
Propaganda explains the principle that everyone is responsible for the rise and fall of Peking, and those ordinary people who take the initiative to join the army will have more centripetal force.
Wan Lei told Tie Xuan about his carrot and stick approach, and immediately received his strong support. Not only did he use the 100,000 taels of silver pulled from the bank as military recruitment expenses, but he also expressed his cooperation in publicity work, and Li
Yuan also said that he would cooperate with Wan Lei's recruitment work and train troops simultaneously, striving to allow those ordinary people to form combat capabilities as soon as possible.
With money and policy support, Wan Lei became more able to act. He first organized dozens of people from Zhaozhuang to serve as a city patrol team, and Zhao Xueer was also very active. He actually found a dozen women to follow suit and created a
A women's propaganda team was formed.
Don't underestimate these women. They may not be good at fighting, but they are good at propaganda. They chanted slogans "Defend the city and protect the family" along the street, attracting a crowd of people to watch. At the same time, Shuntian Prefecture posted proclamations everywhere,
He called on everyone to join the army and stated that those who took the initiative to join the army would be given military pay.
In addition, Shuntian Prefecture also opened granaries to provide relief to refugees, and set up centralized porridge sheds in the city. When dinner was served, Wan Lei stood in front of the refugees and gave a tragic speech about the death of people in the city, and then
By recruiting some people from Zhaozhuang to serve as "drummers", the refugees were immediately excited and responded to the call and took the initiative to join the army.
If someone took the lead, the rest of the work would be done easily. Wan Lei took out the real money and silver he had just obtained and distributed it to the soldiers. The people saw that being a soldier was really beneficial, so they all came to sign up one after another, whether they were sincere or not.
After Wan Lei completed the registration, he asked Li Yuan to take them to the military camp. Even if these guys didn't really join the army, when they arrived at the military camp, they couldn't help but obey the orders.
After working until dark, Wan Lei's combination of punches attracted more than 30,000 militiamen and almost all the refugees. Li Yuan was delighted, of course he was all smiles, and immediately asked his cronies to take these people to train and practice.
Don't rest until midnight.
Wan Lei didn't have time to celebrate, so he dispatched city patrol teams, set up patrols in major streets, and enforced a strict curfew to prevent the surrender and escape factions from starting civil strife.
Recruitment and training work was carried out in the city, and Tie Xuan, who was supervising the battle at the top of the city, did not dare to relax, because the Tatar and Yan bandit remnant party troops successively arrived at the gates of Peiping, and several siege battles occurred sporadically at various city gates. After being repulsed,
, they camped for the night in the north of the city.
Looking at the enemy camps that stretched for miles outside the city, Tie Xuan knew without thinking that there would definitely be a fierce battle tomorrow, and he was not sure whether he could hold it or not.
ps: I can’t complain.
As a post-80s generation, Xiaodao was born in "Tunnel War" and grew up in "Ruanxi Dynasty". He has grown up by more than 20 years in an ignorant way. When he has time, he opens the history books and finds that history is really like a story that was manipulated by someone.
The little girl dressed casually is confusing to people.
There is a "theism" that says that China has been a self-sufficient small-scale peasant economy since ancient times, and it is impossible to develop into a capitalist society. At the beginning, Xiaodao also felt that it seemed to make sense. Anyway, we are now living in a Shenma society.
No one can tell whether his surname is Zi or She.
As for the origin of this "theism", it seems to be adapted from the theory that capitalism cannot save China. As for whether that theory is the truth, in order to prevent his water meter from being checked, he first used tape to seal his mouth. As for this
"The theory", I am not very good at it, but I dare to complain about it, although it is a bit weak.
According to the saying that the economic base determines the superstructure, small-scale peasant economy can really only foster feudal centralization, and the reason why that "theism" is "theism" is because it looks at the problem from a static perspective, and it believes that.
The people of the country will always face the loess and turn their backs to the sky, and will never keep up with the trend of history. Of course, the Manchu Qing Dynasty, when the country was closed and the people were treated as livestock, is not within the scope of discussion.
First of all, I want to state that this article does not involve the topic of menstruation comparing the Ming and Qing Dynasties. Xiaodao believes that the Manchu and Qing Dynasties were the period of subjugation of the Han people. The so-called Central Plains Lu Shen, to put it bluntly, means that the Central Plains became a Jurchen colony and the people became slaves. Until after the Revolution of 1911,
China was successfully restored to its own country.
As the last orthodox dynasty established by the Han majority, comparing the Ming Dynasty with the Manchu and Qing colonial dynasties would be the greatest insult to the Ming Dynasty, because there is no comparison between the two. As a colonizer, the Manchu and Qing emperors were more "wise"
"Shenwu", the people in the Central Plains lived in dire straits.
Although the Ming Dynasty itself had many problems, such as the problem of factory guards, the problem of eunuchs' monopoly, and the problem of party struggle, these were Zhu Ming's own problems. Generally speaking, the Han people were an open and wealthy nation.
A nation with an enterprising spirit can always absorb and utilize advanced foreign culture.
Take the Ming Dynasty as an example. Although the Ming Dynasty imposed maritime bans from time to time, this did not mean seclusion, nor did it hinder cultural exchanges between the East and the West. The Ming Dynasty fought naval battles with Portugal and found that the Portuguese's cannons were good, so they imitated them.
There is a sense of copycatism among modern Chinese people. Later, they even ordered cannons directly from the Portuguese. Compared with the late Qing Dynasty's theory of "learning from the foreigners and developing skills to control the foreigners", this globalization awareness was not even a little advanced.
As for the introduction of culture and technology, there is no need to mention: "Elements of Geometry" in mathematics, "Illustrations of Strange Weapons" in mechanics and engineering, "Signs of the Dominator" on human anatomy, and even logic.
"Qiong Neo-Confucianism" and so on, it can be said to be all-encompassing.
Introduction is secondary, the key is to absorb it for one's own use. In the late Ming Dynasty, many officials and gentry had good relations with foreigners. For example, Song Yingxing, Xu Guangqi and others produced science and technology books such as "Tiangong Kaiwu" and "Agricultural Administration Complete Book". Although
These books lack scientific proof in the eyes of modern people, but at the very least, people of that era made a lot of efforts to catch up with the world's scientific and technological trends, which is enough to show that the Han people are not a nation that is stubbornly self-proclaimed. If the Han nation is really like some historical
As scientists say, they are full of slavishness and lack of advancement and enterprising spirit. The Han people would have been like the ancient Egyptian civilization, which was wiped out until not even the dregs were left.
Having said so much, Xiaodao just wants to say one thing: if there had not been the massacre of the Manchus and the isolation of the country, our ancestors could have kept up with the trend of the times, and even at worst they would not have been so far behind by hundreds of years.
However, there are no ifs in history. In that era of national subjugation, we missed two hundred years of development opportunities, and civilization suddenly regressed for hundreds of years. When those emerging empires bombarded our country with powerful ships and cannons, we suddenly
Discovered: I can no longer catch up if I want to.
Now we are still chasing. As for whether and when we can catch up, I still have to use tape to seal my mouth. I can't say.
However, some Manchu remnants were unwilling to fail and fantasized about riding on other ethnic groups to dominate. Therefore, under the guise of national consciousness, they went around trying to sow discord between the Han and Manchu ethnic groups, and they constantly fanned the flames and actively
Recruiting souls for the Manchu colonialists to achieve ulterior motives.
Let’s not talk about the proliferation of pigtail dramas. The key point is that some so-called "historians" ignore historical facts, talk nonsense, and use their so-called academic reputation to help Manchuria absolve themselves of historical responsibilities and make China lag behind the West.
All the blame is placed on the Han people. China is dominated by small-scale peasant economy and cannot develop into capitalism. This "theism" is the result of these shameless evildoers.
As soon as this set of "theism" came out, it was followed by an extension: You Han people are a bunch of rubbish to begin with. If our holy ancestor Mingjun of the Manchu Qing Dynasty hadn't led you, you would have all been finished! After that, I dreamed of returning to the Qing Dynasty, and let
Everyone was "pleased" to be slaves, shouting long live the Qing Dynasty and long live the Qing Dynasty.
After complaining so much, Xiaodao just wants to say: Chinese civilization has lasted for thousands of years, and the Han people, the main body of civilization, are not bad people, and there is no inherent servility. We are fully capable of keeping pace with the times, and even leading the way.
