Starting from the end of April, ten propaganda groups under the "Liangshan Thought Transformation Group" went to various places to promote "Liangshan Thought."
In the past, Liangshan had also issued pamphlets for the purpose of strengthening the army, strengthening the country, and strengthening the people, but they could not be compared with this time. At that time, Liangshan had just been established, and the targets of the propaganda were mainly Han people. The purpose of the propaganda was to make people
The Han people joined the military to protect their homeland and no longer be bullied by foreigners. This time they launched
A complete ideological system, the content of propaganda is ten times more than before. Although there are some progressive words in the pamphlets at that time, which are different from the thoughts of sages, they are not fundamentally opposed to Confucianism. But this
The ideas of democracy and civil rights that were introduced at one time are completely different from Confucianism and are incompatible with it.
The intensity of the propaganda this time is also very different from before. At that time, it was just to distribute pamphlets for everyone to learn. But this time, a propaganda group was set up to educate and publicize the youth. And according to the reform group's instructions
In the end, the plan requires mobilizing young people and launching youth movements one after another, relying on these movements to fully unleash the enthusiasm of young people and then drive changes in the entire society.
The definition of youth in the "reform group" is also very broad. Anyone over the age of thirteen or fourteen and under the age of thirty are all young people. The younger they are, the simpler their thoughts are, like a blank sheet of paper, the easier it is to publicize.
Everywhere these propaganda groups go, they will use the power of the local government to gather young people and study together.
The members of the propaganda team are very attentive. Those female soldiers want to promote these ideas from the bottom of their hearts. As for the literati, many of them do it for better promotion and wealth. Wu Yong has formulated a system. Anyone who does well will be rewarded.
If you can mobilize a large number of young people, it will be a credit, and you will be promoted immediately after returning.
At the same time, while the propaganda team was preaching to young people from all over the country, Wu Yong recruited more literati and asked these literati to continue writing articles and shouting for Liangshan Thought. Wu Yong even wanted to spread these ideas among the more pedantic literati
However, it seems that this is still a very difficult task at present.
Those pedantic literati found it difficult to accept these ideas and regarded these ideas as cancer. They also had extremely disgust and hatred for Wu Dong, the man who gave them food and rescued them from Jiangnan.
In Liaoyang City, Liaodong, Hua Rong was also flipping through a booklet called "Liangshan Thoughts". At first, he thought it was the same as the "Qiangguo Book", but after seeing the content inside, he was shocked.
"The Governor is going to do a great and earth-shaking undertaking. Except for those corrupt scholars, those bureaucrats, and the gentry, ordinary people should support these ideas." Hua Rong immediately saw the mystery of this "Liangshan Thought"
.
Liangshan Thought talks about giving freedom, dignity, and rights to ordinary people. How can ordinary people not support it?
As for corrupt Confucians, bureaucrats, and wealthy gentry, Liangshan Thought fundamentally broke their lofty status and put them on the same level as ordinary people. How could they agree?
"But why should these contents be preached among young people? As before, they should be distributed to various places so that people everywhere can learn them. However, these contents are too unbelievable. If they are thoroughly publicized among the people, I am afraid it will be a mess.
"Strange, very strange." Hua Rong said secretly.
But he didn't know that young people are the simplest and the quickest to accept new ideas. They are also the most advanced and can be used by Wu Dong to actively promote these ideas. Only by starting from young people can bigger scams not appear and can they
Let Liangshan Thought spread smoothly, and even turn these young people into a huge force, allowing them to devote themselves to the construction of the "strong and powerful country" described by Wu Dong.
"The military can promote the ideas of a strong country and a just war. As for the so-called human rights and civil rights, they are not needed for the time being." Hua Rong murmured to himself after reading the entire pamphlet.
The current strong army register is obviously outdated, and it still promotes the idea of Han people resisting foreigners. There are now 100,000 Korean soldiers in the army. It is difficult for such propaganda to impress the Korean soldiers. Together we can create a "strong and powerful country" and launch a "just war"
, it can stimulate the enthusiasm of soldiers of all ethnic groups.
At this time, the sound of reporting came from the door. Hua Rong let the visitor in and found that it was Li Gang.
"Li Gang, aren't you in Tianfu City? How did you come to Liaoyang City?" Hua Rong said strangely.
"Legion Commander, I stayed for three days and three nights without any rest. I kept changing horses and rides. Today I finally came here. I have something important to report." Li Gang was covered in dust, with sweat on his forehead, and he was panting. Look.
It looked like he was really in a hurry.
"What's the matter with you? Can't you ask your subordinates to come and report it?" Hua Rong said in surprise.
"Commander of the Army, I want to return to Goryeo immediately! This so-called Liangshan thought is too ridiculous and runs counter to the thoughts of sages. We must not let such thoughts spread in Goryeo, no, absolutely not!" Li Gang did not sit down or drink water.
, without even taking a few breaths, he said immediately. His face was flushed with excitement, and his mood was obviously very excited.
"So that's how it is." Hua Rong smiled, thinking that Li Gang was a rotten scholar, and it was normal for Li Gang to have such a reaction.
"Legion Commander, please let me go back." Li Gang said again.
"Actually, I think the Governor's Liangshan Thought is not bad and is really beneficial to the people. As long as it is good for the people, there is nothing wrong with it." Hua Rong thought for a moment and said.
"However, the thoughts of sages are absolutely correct truths. The governor's Liangshan thoughts are contrary to the thoughts of sages, so how can they be correct?" Li Gang said anxiously.
"The Grand Governor said in "Building a Powerful and Great Nation" that he wanted to establish an eternal kingdom that would never be destroyed like the previous dynasties that changed every hundreds of years. Have you not read this article?" Hua Rong said.
"I saw it," Li Gang said.
"What do you think? The governor said that throughout the dynasties, the politics were relatively clear at the beginning, but later on, officials became more and more corrupt, and the local tyrants and evil gentry in the countryside annexed land more and more, and the people became more and more corrupt.
There is no way to survive, so within a few hundred years, a dynasty will be overthrown by the poor people. The powerful country he wants to build will give the people civil rights
, the people can elect officials, supervise officials, and the people can formulate fair laws to ensure the interests of ordinary people, making it difficult for land annexation to proceed, or in other words, land annexation cannot be as unscrupulous as in previous dynasties. With civil rights, the interests of the people are guaranteed
, the people will not rebel, and a strong and powerful country will last forever. Do you think what he said is wrong?" Hua Rong said.
"Absurd! The people are ignorant and don't understand anything! If they choose officials, they will only know how to farm and not manage the country! If they are asked to make laws, they will definitely be a mess. The country will fall into chaos in a short time, let alone for eternity.
It will last forever! As for the so-called country that will last forever
, there is no such thing at all. Throughout the dynasties, there have been countless sages, including Yao, Shun, and Yu. The way of abdication is so sage, but it is only three lives. How can there be a country that lasts forever? Confused, confused! How can the governor be?
How can you say such stupid things?" Li Gang said almost in a shouting voice.
"What you said makes sense, and I won't argue with you. I'll argue with you after you meet the Governor in the future," Hua Rong said.
"Legion commanders, and those officials. Officials of all dynasties have worked hard and spent ten years in poverty before they can become officials. They have worked so hard, so their status is lifelong, so they can assist the king and manage the country. Also
Therefore, the status of Confucian scholars is higher than that of ordinary farmers and businessmen. Now, the governor actually said that the status of scholars is the same as that of ordinary people. How is this possible? How is it possible?" Li Gang said angrily.
"Okay, no need to say any more. You can write these down and have them handed over to the Governor," Hua Rong said.
"Legion commander, won't you let me go back?" Li Gang said in surprise.
"Of course, we are soldiers. Although Li Gang is in charge of civil affairs, you are also a soldier. Soldiers must obey military orders. The Governor ordered us to be responsible for Liaodong affairs. Now is a busy time in Liaodong. How can you go back?" Hua Rong said.
"This...but this Liangshan Thought is really treasonous. I must go see the Governor! This is more important than the war in Liaodong!" Li Gang said.
"Li Gang, I order you not to go back! You stay in Liaoyang City for a while first. As for the civil affairs of Tianfu City, I will arrange for someone else to take charge." Hua Rong shook his head and said decisively.
Seeing Li Gang so excited at this moment, he basically understood the reason why Wu Dong sent Li Gang to Liaodong. On the one hand, it was indeed to solve the civil affairs in Liaodong, and on the other hand, he wanted Li Gang to stay here and not affect the domestic affairs of Goryeo.
In this case, he naturally can't let Li Gang go back.
Li Gang had no choice. After leaving Hua Rong's room, he wanted to sneak out of Liaoyang City and return to Goryeo, but Hua Rong had already sent several soldiers to guard him tightly and not let him leave.
"No, it seems that I have to talk to the other generals to let them understand the dangers of Liangshan Thought!" At night, he still couldn't sleep. After thinking about it, he suddenly stood up and prepared to go find him.
The other generals went to talk about Liangshan Thought.
It was late at night, and Yang Xiong was sleeping soundly when suddenly there was a knock on the door outside.
Yang Xiong rolled his eyes, put on his clothes, opened the door and found Li Gang.
"Mr. Li, what's the matter?" Yang Xiong asked.
"Have you read the "Liangshan Thought" sent by the Governor?" Li Gang asked impatiently.
"I saw it," Yang Xiong said.
"What do you think?" Li Gang asked.
Yang Xiong was wondering why Li Gang came. When he heard the book "Liangshan Thoughts", his eyes suddenly flashed with excitement.
"Liangshan Thought is very good, very good! The governor said that we will build a powerful and powerful country that has never appeared in the Han and Tang Dynasties, with the largest territory in the world. I yearn for this powerful and powerful country very much!" Yang Xiong was excited!
The way.
Li Gang was stunned. He didn't expect Yang Xiong to react like this, which was beyond his expectation.
"Have you read the previous discussion of human rights and civil rights?" Li Gang asked again.
"Of course I did." Yang Xiong said.
"What do you think of these contents?" Li Gang said.
"It's also very good! Why do readers have to be so superior? I, Yang Xiong, couldn't understand this before. Now the governor said that the status of readers should be the same as that of farmers. I totally agree! Mr. Li, I'm not talking about you, you
It's different from ordinary readers." Yang Xiong laughed.
Li Gang was speechless. He found that it was impossible to talk to a rough guy like Yang Xiong.
Shaking his head, he turned and left here to find the other generals. But all the soldiers in the army were warriors, and except for a few who had read, most of them had not read. The warriors were originally dissatisfied with the lofty status of the literati.
Therefore, I don’t take seriously some of Li Gang’s statements at all.
Li Gang spent the whole night wandering around and found that trying to explain these generals was of no use at all.
