One thousand three hundred and forty-six Do you agree with my theory of world revolution?
As soon as Zhao Yucheng said this, Su Yonglin remembered Zhao Kaishan, the Restoration Army, the former Shandong peasant uprising, and those glorious years.
"In a blink of an eye, this is something that happened more than ten years ago. I, your father and many Shandong heroes, raised an army to resist the Jin Dynasty, and went through hardships and dangers to create the Ming Dynasty. How many difficulties and obstacles have I experienced when I am now in this unification situation? Along the way, how many people have fallen behind and are gone?"
Upon hearing this, Zhao Yucheng was a little sad.
"Our career and ideals today should be something they cannot accept, so they will inevitably fall behind and will definitely not be there. This is the price that the revolution must pay."
"For me and you, this is a bit expensive."
Su Yonglin held Zhao Yucheng's hand and said a little sadly: "Especially for you, the revolution has made you an enemy with the entire family and destroyed your family. I always feel sorry for you and owe you something."
"You owe me something?"
Zhao Yucheng shook his head and said slowly: "It is my tribe who owe too much to the people of Shandong. They don't owe the Zhao family anything, but they are enslaved, bullied, oppressed, and exploited by the Zhao family. Not only do they have to join the army and fight, they can't get anything they deserve, and even the last little pension will be embezzled.
There was no land, no house, no money, nothing, and even the pensions exchanged for life were embezzled. If such a person cannot be judged by justice, then I would feel that there is something wrong with this world.
We fought all the way, fighting bloody all the way, facing so many enemies, we fought desperately, isn’t it the reason for now? Uncle Yuting, you didn’t owe me any debts. It’s because the Zhao family owed too much to the people, and they should repay them. As for me, what does it matter?"
"Yucheng..."
Su Yonglin held Zhao Yucheng's hand tightly and smiled and said, "Your heart is as clear as a diamond, firm, you are my diamond."
Zhao Yucheng looked puzzled.
"Diamond? What is that?"
Su Yonglin smiled.
"A hard and clear stone, of course, this doesn't matter. I just feel sincerely happy for you and proud of you. If you have such an understanding, it proves that our revolution along the way has achieved fruitful results."
"That's bound to!"
Zhao Yucheng became excited and said, "Even if the Southern Song Dynasty was destroyed, our revolution was not at the moment. There is Zhen La Kingdom further south, to the west is Western Liao Kingdom, Khwarezm Kingdom, to the east, Goryeo, Japan, to the north, and endless grasslands!
Uncle Yuting, I think our revolution should not be limited to the Thirteen Prefectures of China or the Ming Dynasty. We should also set off a wave of revolution in these places. I think that wherever our troops can reach, we should directly carry out a thorough revolution in that country.
If the distance is far away and the Ming Dynasty cannot directly govern it, then send more Revival members to organize Revival Associations, establish more Revival Association organizations, and call on the local oppressed people to launch a revolution and overthrow the oppressors!"
Zhao Yucheng's tone was excited, and he clenched his fists while talking, and he was very excited.
This made Su Yonglin very interested.
"Do you agree with my world revolution?"
"I don't know if you believe it or not. Before you mentioned this, during the Xiangfan Battle, I roughly mentioned the same view as Commander Zhang, so I was very happy after you asked it and felt that I did not disappoint your expectations."
Zhao Yucheng smiled, as if waiting for Su Yonglin's praise to him.
Su Yonglin didn't expect this.
"Really? You thought of it before I even mentioned it?"
"Really, I won't lie to you."
Zhao Yuzhen nodded and said, "At that time, when Commander Zhang and I were discussing this matter in Xiangyang, it seemed that we were talking about your large-scale handling of corrupt officials. Commander Zhang said that this was an inevitable thing and must be handled by policy adjustments.
But I don't think so. I think the reason why they are lazy, corruption, and forget their mission is because they are comfortable. Once they are comfortable, they give people with poor intentions an opportunity to take advantage of.
And why did they feel at ease? It was simply that they believed that the revolution had been successful and their careers had ended, and that they could enjoy themselves safely. In this way, they were lazy. What do you think?"
When Zhao Yucheng asked this, Su Yonglin had to nod.
“There is indeed a reason for this.”
Zhao Yucheng then spoke.
"So, I also thought about this question, and felt that after the destruction of the Song Dynasty, indeed, on the surface, we had done everything we should do, but did the revolution really succeed? I don't think it's that simple.
I think even if the revolution in the Thirteen State of China is successful, there are still many other places where there is no revolution. Therefore, revolution can be launched and those who want to slack off can work, so that they cannot slack off.”
"So that's how you think."
Su Yonglin understood Zhao Yucheng's thoughts and realized that the reasons why he and Zhao Yucheng wanted to launch a world revolution were different, but they eventually embarked on the same path.
Su Yonglin realized that the Ming Dynasty could not exist in this world as a revolutionary country alone for the development and future of the country.
Even though the world is not so connected, it is also connected. China, Europe, Central Asia, West Asia and other regions are not isolated from each other.
So sooner or later, the countries and rulers in these places will know the revolutionary nature of the Ming Dynasty. They will be confused and fearful, and there is a great possibility that they will cut off their ties with the Ming Dynasty.
If the Ming Dynasty was not prepared and as long as the revolution of a country was completed, foreign trade would sooner or later suffer a huge blow.
It shows that the domestic upstream and downstream industrial chains will face a dilemma. A large number of people will be unemployed. Apart from agriculture, there is no existence that can accommodate them, and there will be certain turmoil in society.
Therefore, Su Yonglin had to take the lead before these countries and rulers prepared to block the Ming Dynasty.
Establish a revival association organization in the local area, spread revolutionary ideas, and raise resistance organizations in order to overthrow the local dynasty regime, establish a revolutionary regime, and relieve the danger of being isolated.
Moreover, he believes that it is difficult to spread revolutionary ideas in this era and call on everyone to establish a revolutionary regime, and there are huge problems in transportation and communication, but at the same time, there is no restraint of nationalism.
The spread and rooting of revolutionary ideas will not be boycotted by nationalism.
Nationalism in the true sense is the product of the industrial age, requiring education, production, war, thought, etc. to converge and merge together to create collisions. In this era, countries that can meet the conditions of [education] are almost zero.
Without universal education, there will be no broad nationalism. Sporadic germinated nationalist ideas are just a flash of inspiration. Occasionally, a few splashes of water splashed out in the long river of history, fleeting and disappearing.
In this era, except for the Ming Dynasty, there was no soil for the birth of nationalism in other regions.
In the Ming Dynasty, the education promoted by Su Yonglin mainly focused on national education centered on the concept of Ming Dynasty.
His focus is to use education to eliminate the differences between different ethnic groups, increase their identities with each other, and jointly accept the identity of the Ming national.
In short, in the present world, there is no widespread nationalism.
Therefore, the revolutionary thought of class narrative is a very easy-to-accept thought for ethnic groups ruled by feudal dynasties, and opponents often cannot come up with any widely spread ideas that can be confronted by them.
Therefore, Su Yonglin believes that a world revolution is feasible.
