Chapter 53 Whose family is in the world (Five)

"You're talking nonsense." Meng Hua was so angry that he trembled all over. "Revolutionary patriots have been going on one after another to save the country. Before the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895, you are a thief who steals the country! The revolutionary tide is vast, republic and democracy is the right way in the world! You regard yourself as nationalism and bewitch the people against the Qing Dynasty, but you drive away an emperor and sit on the emperor by yourself. How can you deceive the lower-class people's eyes even if you deceive us!"

"I have said that there is no absolutely superior political system, only suitable and unsuitable." Zheng Yu said calmly, "The position of the concept of imperial power in traditional Chinese culture has been fully discussed before. The complexity of China's affairs has been fully discussed. The instability of people's hearts, the establishment of order, and the need for stability of the country. I have also said that before. During the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895, if the monarchy is not implemented, the country cannot be stabilized, the central authority cannot be formed to implement reforms, and naturally, it cannot be able to quickly strengthen the country, and change the schizophrenia for a hundred years."

"There is no useless to argue too much. Political struggle, especially when China is at this time, is to put it bluntly, it is still based on power. Democrats are checks and balances, and debates. Chinese tradition has always been the supreme authority. At this time, democracy in China will inevitably argue for power, to defeat opponents, to show oneself, and finally to argue for debate. After arguing, there is no conclusion on the matter, and it is impossible to finally use fists to make the other party surrender, and the country naturally cannot develop."

Zheng Yu said seriously: "So, what we need most at the moment is to not argue and just do things."

"The biggest need at present is not to call for opposition to the government if you are dissatisfied, or even to raise the organizational force. Instead, to build the country to accumulate strength, improve the national living standards and education level, and guide the entire society to gradually move towards a modern civilized country." Zheng Yu continued, "The country has been unified, the government's authority has been established, and the enlightened system has been established. In this stage, this political system is very suitable."

"Practice rather than empty talk is the ultimate standard for testing all theories. The ten years of achievements are obvious to all, which has proved that this path is suitable for China's national conditions and meets the needs of China's development. You should be able to feel the changes in the social status of our people in Europe and the United States overseas."

Everyone was silent.

"Some problems that have emerged within the government are focused on restricting the increasing power of the government and rectifying corruption within the government. These problems are not unsolvable, and the government also has a strong desire to solve these problems. I visited Mr. Mr. Zheng said seriously, "The Ministry of Police, General Intelligence Bureau and the Baxing Party Discipline Inspection Commission are all powerful weapons to govern corruption. The Central Senate and House of Representatives and Local Senate are representatives of public opinion to supervise the government. According to the situation, impeachment can be filed. To date, forty-six impeachment cases have been filed, which is the manifestation of democratic supervision."

"There are more than 400 newspapers in China, more than 300 monthly and half-monthly magazines, and the system of public opinion supervision has been gradually established. There are imperfect systems and officials at all levels have taken illegal measures and illegality. It is necessary for all sectors of society to work together to establish laws and regulations to restrict them. As the bottom-up supervision of local democratic representatives and top-down supervision of the central government, and to supervise each other is an idea. At present, the country is booming and the people are enthusiastic. Just now, when we are very promising, it is irresponsible and unnecessary to talk about violent revolution."

"Democracy cannot be achieved overnight, but a long-term and requires steady progress." Zheng Yu glanced at everyone, "Through economic progress, promotion of education, enriching culture, and democratic practice in the form of democracy, the people's cognition level will gradually improve, the ideological and cultural improvement will gradually improve, and the country's cohesion will become stronger and stronger. In this context, the country can gradually expand the scope of voters, promote grassroots democracy, cultivate different democratic demands, and achieve diversification of democracy."

Zheng Yu was speaking with great pride, and suddenly felt someone beside him poking him gently. He suddenly realized and hurriedly ended the long speech: "This process may be long, but it is necessary."

"How long will it take?" Vasiliev asked suddenly.

"Maybe decades, maybe longer." Zheng Yu glanced at him, not knowing what shocking words this person would say, "China's backwardness is not only a problem of the system, but also a comprehensive backwardness of economy, politics and culture. China is too big and too complex, with many ethnic groups, many economic forms, many customs and habits, and many cultural traditions. Therefore, we must be cautious. Governing a big country is like cooking small foods. The country cannot go the wrong path under the current complex internal and external situation, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable."

Meng Hua shook his head in disappointment, but Li Da remained silent.

Zheng Yu suddenly remembered his identity at this moment, and the pair of eagle-like eyes that seemed to have been looking down at him in the clouds in his memory. He couldn't help swallowing. But he didn't care about regretting it, because the mixed-blooded fur in front of him really made him thorn on his back.

"What you said is not unreasonable. But China cannot afford to wait, and 450 million citizens cannot afford to wait. This kind of gifted ‘democracy’ depends entirely on the moral standards and good mood of the men. I lack confidence in this." Vasiliev's words made Zheng Yu's pupils shrink suddenly, "Relying on a few so-called elite forces in society to promote national development, minimize people's interests and maximize elite interests, we cannot save China. There is no need for China to repeat this old path with many difficulties, twists and slowness. China can take a new path with more advanced and more efficient, and quickly become a strong country."

This person's few words made Zheng Yu stand on his hair, even more frightened than just now.

He felt unprecedented danger.

"What the Prince's Highness said seems wonderful, but in fact it is a dead end." The sunlight outside the window reflected a strange light on Vasiliev's glasses. Zheng Yu couldn't help but narrow his eyes and stared at the seemingly inconspicuous scholar without blinking. He had defined the other party as the most dangerous enemy in his heart.

"This gradual improvement places the hope of democracy on the morality and belief of the ruling class. It is a childish raspberry for ordinary people and an anesthetic made by the rulers with sweet words." Vasiliev's voice was not loud, but it was extremely clear. Every word was like a heavy hammer hitting Zheng Yu's heart, making him feel a little troubled to breathe.

"If citizens want to gain freedom and equality, they can only rely on their own efforts." Vasiliev said calmly, "It is true that there is still a considerable gap in the overall perception of the people, whether in China or Russia, but this does not hinder the advanced elements of the people from taking action, helping some people to awaken first and realize the great alliance between the two countries' revolutions."

"Advanced elements mean you like this?" Zheng Yu asked slowly.

"If the people need me to take this responsibility, I will take it as my responsibility." Vasiliev said without hesitation, "I am not afraid of sacrifice, nor am I afraid of the bullets of tyrants. If my blood can awaken more compatriots, what's the regret of death?"

"Well, since you have admitted that the general awareness of the people is not high at present, how can you mobilize the people to carry out violent revolution and overthrow the current government?" Zheng Yu said calmly, "You must know that most of our country's citizens are just trying to solve their food and clothing. They have to work hard every day for their livelihood. They may not be able to understand and support your great ideals."

"The dregs of Chinese tradition must be abandoned. Feudal ethics, imperial autocracy, and these backward ideas must be helped to help the people break down." Vasiliev said, "China and Russia are both agricultural countries, with farmers accounting for the majority of the population, and farmers are the most simple, most virtuous and most respectable class. The revolutions of the two countries cannot be separated from the awakening of the people, especially the peasants. The awakening of the peasants requires urban intellectuals, those who are independent and free in their personality and dare to fight to help and guide them. The revolutionary forces of the two countries are divided and defeated, and only when the revolutions of the two countries are closely coordinated can success be possible."

Vasiliev's tone was stable and there was no sensationality, but Zheng Yu felt unprecedented heavyness and pressure.

"We will adopt any policy that will allow the people to act. When the peasants suffer from the oppression of feudal patriarchal laws, we will break the feudal patriarchal laws. When the people need land, we will equalize the land rights, help them to regain the land of their ancestors from generation to generation, and seize the ill-gotten wealth that the landlords have seized from generation to generation." Vasiliev said confidently, "As long as the peasants see that they can get the benefits they have hoped for under the new system but cannot get, the peasants will naturally awaken and act with advanced elements. Most ordinary soldiers in the army are peasant children, how could they shoot at their parents and relatives? When they realize the will and strength of the people, they will definitely stand on the side of the people."

"Our revolution is in line with morality and ideals, with strong beliefs and pursuits, and with noble and visible goals." Vasiliev said firmly, "Hundreds of millions of people acted for common beliefs and interests. This revolution with the people as the main body is pure, noble and irresistible. On one hand, there are the vast majority of citizens, and on the other hand, there are a very small number of high-ranking officials and merchants and landlords. Do you still need to doubt the prospect of victory in the revolution?"

"Everyone thinks that the authoritarian empire is extremely powerful. But they are wrong." Vasiliev stretched out a finger and shook it gently. "Compared with billions of citizens, the small group of reactionaries is just a small little bit. When the citizens are mobilized, they will be swept mercilessly into the garbage dump of history in front of the iron broom of the revolution."

He blew gently, his face feeling a little contemptuous: "Just like this, it's gone in one go."

Zheng Yu listened silently to the person on the other side and felt an unprecedented crisis that appeared in the future. Zheng Yu was also a frequent visitor to the world in his previous life and had some knowledge of many fashionable political concepts. In order to arrange the North Wind Plan in Eastern Europe, he read widely the materials of different Russian political factions, especially government oppositions. The series of ideas proposed by this mixed-race Russian can be summarized in four words: populism.

This term, like a ghost, shrouded human history in the 20th century. Its roots can be traced back to the French Revolution, but its real popularity was Russia from the mid-19th century to the 20th century. It can even be said that populism in the modern sense actually originated in Russia. It is a peasant supremacy theory based on sympathy for the peasant class that Russian intellectuals began in the mid-19th century. After the Russian capitalist economy collapsed the original Russian village public ownership system, it advocated the traditional Russian village public ownership theory based on sympathy for the peasant class.

Based on the system, establish a collectively owned agricultural society and directly realize the harmony of mankind. Zheng Yu thought of the other party’s identity as studying in Russia, and roughly understood the other party’s theoretical roots and positions. But he didn’t understand why this person had to come to Li Da to sell this theory? He wanted to win over Li Da and engage in a joint Sino-Russian revolution with them? But if this mixed-race Russian really wanted to play the so-called revolutionary terrorism of the social revolutionary party Chernov in Russia, and then set off the so-called revolutionary climax, the better choice is to win his own support, right?

Is he really the so-called absolute idealist in the legend? Just to prove the so-called truth in front of himself?

Zheng Yu looked at the increasingly mysterious mixed-race gangster and said slowly: "If I guess correctly, your theory should come from Chernishevsky and Herzen, who advocated directly leaping into an ideal society based on the public ownership of Russian villages and communities. In other words, you are a believer of the Russian populist school, right?"

As soon as he said this, not only Meng Hua on the opposite side looked at him in a daze, but even Vasiliev, who had been calm and calm, and Li Da who was observing silently on the side also showed a look of shock.

After a while, Vasiliev nodded: "You are right. It seems that you have some knowledge of this, so there is no need to explain too much."

"My father is a mixed Chinese and Russian race, and my mother is Russian. I was born in Russia, but I also spent a long time in China." Vasiliev said, "I love Russia and China. I understand Russia and China. Over the years, I have visited the rural areas of Russia and visited the traditional villages and communities in Russia. Under the impact of the authoritarian regime, the farmers' lives are difficult and displaced, and I feel their nostalgia for a happy life under the traditional Mir system. I have also visited rural areas of China, and I deeply understand their joys, sorrows, and joys."
