The treatment of captured officers and soldiers has set the tone, but the handling of these scholars and staff has different controversies.
Generally speaking, the people who control this group fundamentally despise or even be hostile to all intellectuals in this time and space, believing that they are not only useless, but also dangerous, and the bane of fighting for the right to speak and inciting rebellion. Although out of practical needs,
The "Moli Xuan Work" was implemented in Lingao, winning over some local intellectuals, and also gained preliminary approval from mainstream scholars in Lingao, including Liu Dalin.
But this group of people is different. They followed the crusade to conquer the enemy. Many of them were scholars who originally wanted to make a fortune or implement their plan to "pacify the country." The elders, regardless of their stance, instinctively regarded them as
Be an enemy.
Some people demanded that they all be executed directly, while others thought that keeping them was useless and killing them would be too cruel, so it would be better to release them all.
However, most of the elders felt that this was too easy for them, and demanded that they be humiliated and the leaders among them be brutally killed. Some people proposed that they be tortured comprehensively, and some even proposed that they be publicly tortured in the Lingao Stadium.
After being tortured, they were tortured and executed one by one, and then the photos were sent to the entire Guangdong Province.
Especially when Lu Yizhong fell into their hands, many "revenge theory" people went crazy. Although Lu Yizhong had been scared to death of his own fate, if he knew how the "thieves" planned to deal with him, he would probably immediately
Will be scared to death.
After the discussion about murder and torture reached a climax on BBS, Zhou Dongtian, who is best at torture and interrogation work, made different remarks on this.
He did not approve of torture or all kinds of grotesque torture.
He believed that torture and murder could not effectively destroy the defenses of the imperialist society. Because in this kind of society, torture, murder and torture were daily occurrences, and they could not arouse much fear among all classes.
The experiences of countless revolutionary martyrs and traitors tell us that physical torture, no matter how bizarre it is, is not a one-size-fits-all approach. Dialectical materialism tells us that matter determines consciousness, and consciousness reacts on matter. All dynasties have experienced
War history tells us that strong fortresses are easiest to break from the inside.
Scholars are not all weaklings. Even in the Nanming regime, which was full of red blood when it met with Dorgon, there were many scholars who were determined and willing to sacrifice their lives to become a benevolent person.
*** will only frighten some people, but it will definitely not frighten all people. Especially when the other party thinks that they have the truth. Scholars are the people who are always believed to have the truth in Chinese society.
Therefore, Zhou Dongtian believes that attacking the spiritual defense line of the "scholars" of the Ming Dynasty, rather than boosting the morale of the "scholars" of the Ming Dynasty, is the most realistic for the current time-travelling people.
Obama killed bin Laden, but he absolutely did not dare to return his body to Bin Laden's relatives. He had to have a mysterious sea burial. Back then, the Allies hanged war criminals of the Third Reich, and after burning the bodies to ashes, they secretly buried them at sea.
Destroyed in the river. The purpose is not to allow anyone to use their bones and relics to promote spirituality.
The enemy dies in battle or is killed as a warrior. It is a role model for both the enemy and one's own people. Killing a representative enemy is not difficult for any ruler, but it must be absolutely avoided. Killing is
It will arouse the hatred of the enemy, and the gain outweighs the loss.
"The best way is to 'make a bad name'!" Zhou Dongtian pointed out that there is nothing more ideal than making a bad name for your opponent.
"Everyone knows clearly that the loser has no power and can only be dealt with by others. Why does the victorious side set up a court to interrogate war criminals every time after a war?" Zhou Dongtian said at the meeting, "Just to make the opponent bad, so that
The opponent cannot be the hero on the loser's side - if not all of it works, at least some of it works. Our thinking is the same."
"I understand what Old Zhou means." Ding Ding jumped out quickly to prevent Zhou Dongtian from taking away all the limelight, "We also need to organize a war criminals court! And distribute the trial records of the court everywhere..."
Ma Jia agreed. The concept of interrogating war criminals was a good one. He liked it, and it could fully demonstrate the role and significance of the Law Society.
"It doesn't matter what kind of war criminal trial you want, but I am opposed to interrogating Lu Yizhong." Zhou Dongtian said, "Why? Because he will be used as a pawn for us in the future..."
"No? Are you going to put this bastard back?"
"How do you expect a bastard like that to work for us? That's unbelievable."
"No, that's what I mean." Zhou Dongtian's idea was to immediately start interrogating Lu Yizhong and dig out all the private scandals in Guangdong officialdom that he knew.
Some of these materials have been selectively compiled, mainly focusing on Wang Zunde's decision to start the war, so that all the internal aspects of "unauthorized border provocation" can be exposed one by one. These materials were compiled by comrades who are still active in Guangzhou.
Distributed to Guangdong official circles.
Once this part of the information is exposed, Wang Zunde's already precarious popularity will suffer a fatal blow. He will lose his position as governor of Guangdong faster than normal. No matter who takes over his position, the new governor of Guangdong will definitely change it after he arrives.
To caress.
"This is the second one. The key point is that the original conquest of the dignified formation has become some people's self-interest of 'starting provocations'. According to the intelligence collected by the comrades of the Guangzhou Station in the "Intelligence Compilation", the Guangdong officialdom originally
They don’t support this war very much, and now that Lu Yizhong’s confession has been made, many people will have a negative attitude towards Guangdong launching this war. To use a modern term, it has confused the other party’s thinking.”
Zhou Dongtian's remarks were approved by most people. As for the other staff members, everyone believed that they could be allowed to fully visit and study in Lingao, and then be released after a certain period of time, so that they could go back to work as voluntary propagandists for Chuanchuang.
"Based on the state of the late Ming Dynasty, I'm afraid there will be people who are unwilling to leave after visiting and studying for a few months and are willing to stay and be our dog-headed military advisors." Yu Eshui said jokingly, "You can allocate it to me at that time.
.”
Lu Yizhong's fate was decided in this way. A few days later, he was singled out and sent to the General Administration of Political Security for interrogation alone. Jiangshan was also very interested in this source of information - among all the captured civil and military officials, Lu was the closest to the core , knows the most about the officialdom of Guangdong. Moreover, he has been close to the confidential core of a province for a long time, and his understanding of the operation of the officialdom far exceeds that of ordinary people.
Zhou Dongtian paid attention to his apprentice: "Scrub and tidy up our guys. Use alcohol to disinfect anything that comes into contact with the skin to prevent infection. In addition, you go to the general hospital and book a nurse for me and bring first aid equipment. "
He also ordered several "temporary workers" to clean and ventilate the torture room and detention room.
"There will be a battle between cars and horses these days." Zhou Dongtian said, "You guys can go and rest first after you have packed up."
"Yes, Chief." Several people answered respectfully. These are all yamen servants of the Zaoban in the yamen. People in the Zaoban are known for their ruthlessness. Not only are they powerful, but they also have no psychology when doing things. Obstacle. Zhou Dongtian selected a few people who did not have too many blood debts as retained personnel.
At this time, He Ying opened a report in his office.
The sender of the report was Zhang Yingchen. This person made a report last week, saying that he would return to Lingao from Sanya for a few days. He Ying thought at that time that he must have something to do, so he returned to Lingao in a hurry. ——According to the reports he submitted every week, his missionary activities in Sanya were quite smooth. Not only did he successfully enter Li District, he also developed hundreds of Li people believers there. He also recruited a number of young men and women Li people as "Daosheng" nourish.
To the Religious Office:
To contribute to the external publicity work of Chuanchuan Group, our unit will hold a religious ceremony for the martyrs who died in the Qiongshan Battle and the Five Gentlemen who were killed after the war. We are now submitting the organizational plan and personnel application list to the organization for approval.
Attachment: 1. Organizational plan for the Martyrs who died in the Qiongshan Battle and the Five Gentlemen who were killed in the disaster to recommend the Ming Blessing Dharma Assembly
2. Application form for temporarily requesting the list of Lingao Taoist teaching staff from the Propaganda Department
Zhang Yingchen, head of the Qiongnan District of the Religious Office
He Ying didn't understand who these five gentlemen were for a while - where did they come from? His first reaction was the five gentlemen in the original Five Tombstones, but these five gentlemen had nothing to do with the Time Travel Group. Besides, Far away in Suzhou, why are they offering sacrifices here in Lingao for no reason?
When he saw the attachment, he realized that the five hawkers who had been beheaded by officers and soldiers in Qiongshan to sacrifice the flag. Although everyone knew about this incident when watching the film shot by the special reconnaissance team, and they all commented that the officers and soldiers were really cruel, but No one has connected with the concept of Five Gentlemen based on this.
"Taoist Master Fu really knows how to think of it. It's a good idea." He Ying laughed. He felt that this idea was not a bad one. Not only could it highlight the brutality and ruthlessness of the officers and soldiers, but it could also add a layer of "benevolence and righteousness" to one's own side. He remembered that Dean Wu of Lingao Church had also given him a report a few days ago, requesting that he go to Chengmai to conduct a requiem mass for the fallen and pray for their souls.
This matter can be handled together. He Ying thought to himself, and as Wu Shimang said in the report, since we are offering sacrifices to the dead, we might as well be more generous and include all those who died in this war within the scope of sacrifice. In order to fully
Show the benevolence and fraternity of the Lingao regime.
This plan was approved after revision. As the head of the Propaganda Department, Ding Ding was very appreciative of the plan of the Religious Affairs Office and said that he would fully cooperate, including personnel support and necessary financial support. He Ying thought about it, since there is
After the Catholic Church and the New Taoism were eliminated, it stands to reason that monks should also take action. After all, Buddhism still has a great influence in China. However, the Religious Affairs Office has no qualified monks at all. There are very few temples in Lingao, and almost all
It is in a state of neglect, and a few monks can only be regarded as amateur religious personnel. They hardly understand any scriptures and Buddhist rituals except "Amitabha" and chanting a few lines of sutras.
Fortunately, according to information from the intelligence department, there are several monasteries in Chengmai. Monks can be recruited locally to participate in this large-scale ceremony, and it is nothing more than some reward afterwards. He Ying thought that the Buddhist community should not be ignored. It is time to find a
The right agent.
While He Ying was thinking hard about which elder would be willing to become a monk, in an office in the big library, Yu E Shui opened a letter also from Zhang Yingchen.
friends
Seeing a letter is like meeting
Recently, people in Qiongshan County reported that officers and soldiers had arrested five Ming people who had come to Gao for business and beheaded them on charges of "banditry."
The government is willing to be evil, so why not let us show mercy. In order to publicize the benevolence of our crossing group, I suggest that these five Ming people be buried with lavish coffins, and a monument be erected as a memorial to the treatment of martyrs. I excerpted the Qing Dynasty Quan Zuwang's "Kun"
I have completed a draft of the inscription for the fifth part of Volume "Sautei Collection". I hope you, an expert in literature and history, will revise and polish it.
Also: The brocade in Li District is indeed not bad. I was lucky enough to get one from a certain Oya. I am enclosing it.
Your friend Zhang Yingchen
Attached is a draft of the inscription rewritten by Zhang Yingchen:
The Five Gentlemen of Qiongshan are the same ones who, for example, the governor of Guangdong Zunde, used swords and weapons in vain, advocated public opinion and died in death. The orchid and jade are shattered, which can be mourned, but its meaning is enough to be immortal!
In the fifth month of Gengwu, troops rose up in eastern Guangdong, causing disturbances like locusts crossing the border, and the people suffered greatly. It may be said that "military disasters are more severe than bandits." When the governor of Guangdong heard about it, he got these five gentlemen and actually sat on the "bandit"
die.
…
Alas, there are many loyal and righteous people who have died in prison in ancient and modern times. Since the Er Jiazi period, party disasters have been raging.
, the leader is evil, and the retribution is cruel, but those who are lucky enough to be spared from the imprisonment, that’s it!
So, is the misfortune of the Five Gentlemen of Qiongshan an accident?
Alas! Break this darkness and make the world clear. All benevolent people should do this!
After reading it, Yu Eshui felt that Taoist Fuquan's "artificial hero" plan was a good idea. But how to handle it needed careful consideration. Two of the five vendors were indeed theirs, the officers and soldiers.
The wrong person was not killed - although the officers and soldiers did not know that these two hawkers were intelligence agents sent by the Intelligence Bureau.
I really have to follow Taoist Master Fu's idea. I wonder how the Intelligence Bureau will feel about this? Will they not appreciate it and regard it as a satire? Or maybe they think that such a high-profile publicity will destroy the hidden identity of these two people.
…
After careful consideration, Yu Eshui decided to postpone the plan and communicate with the Intelligence Bureau first before making a decision.
The sun shines through the mist on the Ma Niao Peninsula.
In a newly completed chapel outside Ma Niao Commune, Dean Wu and Pastor Bai were looking at their own images in front of the large mirror in the lounge.
The image is impeccable. They all wear simple black religious uniforms and hang simple wooden crosses. They have the image of serious and compassionate religious professionals.
"Let's go, Pastor Bai, let's set off." Wu Shimang looked at himself with satisfaction.
"Yes, Mr. Dean." Bai Duolu said respectfully. He regretted a little why he didn't become the bishop of Lingao. Now he still wants to show respect for Wu Shimang.
The two walked out of the lounge with slow steps. In the chapel, several prisoners who had recently been baptized were already kneeling. They were praying to the crucifix on the stained glass. When they saw the dean and the priest coming out, they came over one after another.
Ask for his blessing.
Dean Wu pretended to make the sign of the cross. Bai Duolu was impressed by this look. Needless to say, he couldn't be so calm.
Not long after the prisoners arrived at Majiao, the church made a great breakthrough. Dozens of hesitant prisoners of war were immediately baptized, which made the Jesuits who helped here shed tears of joy. Evening prayers were held longer than expected.
It took so long that he almost broke the legs of Dean Wu who was accompanying him.
However, precisely because the effect was so good, the missionary simply refused to leave. Wu Shimang and Bai Duolu had to go to the "Great Comforting for the Souls" ceremony organized by the religion organized by He Ying.
In addition to the two of them, several indigenous believers from the church followed.
The plan submitted by the Lingao Church and the New Taoist Church was re-planned by the Religious Affairs Office and the Propaganda Department and became the "Great Comfort for the Souls". A religious ceremony will be held locally to commemorate the fallen on both sides to win over people's hearts and express their own "
Benevolence and righteousness”.
Zhang Yingchen was standing next to the bullock cart preparing to go to Chengmai, waiting for the people from Lingao Church. In the past few months, his face had become darker, his skin was very rough, and his hair had completely grown out.
Taoist bun. Wearing a new navy blue Taoist robe with a cloth girdle around the waist. Locally produced mango shoes on the feet. Wearing a bamboo hat on the head and carrying a basket on his back, which seems to be full of things.
He still had his usual smile on his face.
There was a newcomer beside him, who looked like a wretched uncle, and was also wearing a standard New Taoist robe that did not fit well. He was also carrying a basket on his back.
"This is Pindao's assistant: Dai E." Zhang Yingchen introduced, "Dai Tongdao also intends to devote himself to the cause of New Taoism. This time we will go to Chengmai together."
The group climbed onto the bullock cart and headed slowly towards Chengmai.
"Taoist Zhang." Bai Duolu said politely, "Why don't you bring a few more people with you? The religious ceremony cannot be carried out without too many people."
"Pindao already has several Taoist students in Sanya, but they are too young to learn musical instruments." Zhang Yingchen said slowly, "I brought a tape recorder and a loudspeaker, let's play the CD first."
"I remember that when a Taoist priest performs a ritual ceremony, it requires a lot of people and a lot of procedures..." No matter how you look at the New Taoism, there are only two people.
"What Pindao founded is New Taoism. It advocates simplification and modernization. It's like the difference between Protestantism and Catholicism." Zhang Yingchen seemed to say casually.
In fact, he didn't want to hold a grand ceremony, but several Taoists from the Li people were not even good at speaking Chinese, so it was even more difficult to learn Taoist rituals. Moreover, it was not easy to prepare costumes and instruments in a hurry.
.So he finally decided to take "simplicity" and "solemn" as the guiding direction.
"Actually, I originally just wanted to hold a memorial ceremony for the martyrs' tombs and the five people who were innocently beheaded in Qiongshan and held a memorial ceremony for the flag." Zhang Yingchen waved his sleeves, "Since Director He said that he would hold a memorial ceremony for all the fallen.
