Su Yonglin was unwilling to think about this crucial issue for a long time.
In the revolutionary journey, what role did his old subordinates play, where did their attitude towards revolution and national construction come from, and why did they want to revolution.
At first, Su Yonglin felt that they decided to embark on this path after suffering miserable oppression and losing everything. However, eight years later, he gradually felt that something was not right about all this.
They did not decide to take the revolutionary road after losing everything. They took this road because of their own push.
He fed them, clothed them, and provided them with educational conditions, so they followed him on this road.
In other words, the revolution in their eyes is actually to follow the emperor to conquer the world, and then sit in the world and enjoy the world.
Except for some people who really agreed with the revolution in this process, such as Tian Guizi, Kong Maojie and others, their consciousness was even far inferior to that of old officials of the Southern Song Dynasty such as Zhang Shi and Lu You. Zhang Shi, Lu You and others had abandoned everything in the Southern Song Dynasty. I just started on this path.
They deviated from their original belongings, abandoned the interests of their own class, started from the status of vested interests, cut off their past, and embarked on the road of revolution.
They took action against themselves from the beginning and took their own lives, thus gaining a firm consciousness.
And what about these old subordinates?
From the starting point of the revolution, they have never lost anything, they have only continued to gain. It is only now that they realize that they may have lost something, so they begin to become restless.
Everything in the past was actually Su Yonglin's own wishful thinking. He believed that the past experiences of starvation, cold and bullying among his old subordinates could make them realize their dreams.
But suffering is never a necessary condition for people to become enlightened. A person does not necessarily need to endure suffering to become enlightened. People who have been well-fed and well-fed since childhood can also become enlightened and take action on themselves to embark on the road of revolution, such as Xin Qiji.
A hero can be born in a rough place regardless of his origin.
Revolutionaries don't care about their origins, they can come from a family with bells and dishes.
After figuring this out, Su Yonglin realized that it was time for him to abandon his naive ideas in the past.
Now is the moment to distinguish revolutionaries from speculators. Now is the watershed for everything. Everything in the past is taken for granted.
So Su Yonglin no longer had any illusions about all this.
He went to another table.
He looked at the four people on the table with their heads raised and the eleven people with their heads lowered, and his heart was full of loss and anger.
"Bankrupt farmers, bankrupt fishermen, or children from bankrupt families are shivering in the cold wind, hanging on to their last breath, praying that a mouthful of food can save your life, and praying that a piece of rag can wrap your body a little. !
Were you talented at that time? Excellent? Can you see the future? I don’t know if I can survive the next day, but I still have to look at the future? Get the reality! it's me! It is the platform of the Victory Army, the Liberation Army and the Ming Dynasty that gives you the opportunity to rise up! "
It was still a table, two people raised their heads, and the remaining thirteen did not dare to raise their heads.
"Previously at the nine-person group meeting, Xin Qiji, Kong Maojie and I had differences of opinion, regarding the education of suffering. I was still relatively naive. I thought suffering could be remembered, but they gave me a heads-up.
They say that suffering is the easiest to forget and deny, because it is too painful to look back and face, so once you escape from the suffering, you will immediately deny the suffering, gnash your teeth with hatred, and do not want the suffering to exist at all. Some people say Their past sufferings can also anger them.
Is it right? Are you angry? Are you angry when I say these things to you now? Do you think I'm really mocking you? Are you thinking in your heart that I can't do anything without you? As long as you don't help me, I can't do anything about national affairs? "
There is another table, six people have their heads raised, and nine people have their heads lowered.
"Because of this disagreement, they and I have different ideas. They do not support my decision and think that my decision will not have good results. I told them that this is indeed difficult, but it is not impossible. The method is very simple. Simple, let anyone who does not acknowledge suffering leave his position.
The cadres of the Ming Dynasty must not only have the courage to eliminate suffering, but also have the courage to face suffering and face it squarely. The cadres of the Ming Dynasty must admit suffering, accept suffering, and remember suffering. Your contempt and disgust for the people's representatives are exactly what you are trying to do. What is caused by forgetting suffering and not being willing to face it!
A person who forgets suffering and its origin will only bring endless suffering to the people under his rule! I know this very well! I had fantasies about you in the past, and I thought you wouldn't do this, but now I realize that I was wrong! How wrong! "
"One Sword Dominates"
It was still the same table, four people had their heads raised, and eleven people had their heads lowered.
Su Yonglin glanced at them fiercely.
"Although I am no longer the emperor, I think each of you knows that, let alone the period of tutelage, even if the tutelage is over and the democratic republic is established, my words will still have great influence. .
There is a chapter in the book "Han Feizi" called "Promoting Power", which means that rulers must demonstrate their power at all times, dominate and establish their unshakable prestige. In the past, I felt that I did not need to do this. Because I am not the emperor, but I find that I have to treat you like this.
A person who cannot remember suffering and face it squarely is not qualified to be a cadre of the Ming Dynasty, not qualified to be a revolutionary, and not qualified to lead the people towards a democratic republic. They are my main enemies during the tutelage period, and I will do my best not to leave any of them behind. Eradicate them all! "
After saying that, Su Yonglin ignored the shock and horror on everyone's faces, returned to his seat, and knocked on the table hard, making a dull sound on the table.
"Don't underestimate my determination. No matter who you are, no matter how great your achievements are, no matter how close you are to me, there is no sand in my eyes. This time is the last time before the Tujun period begins. This is the only warning.
Before you make a big mistake, I will give you a chance to repent. Everyone, as long as you have some thoughts in your heart, before returning to your job, write a review and submit it to me to admit your mistakes and reflect on your mistakes.
Don't try to deny it, don't try to escape it, face your heart, face your suffering, look at your mistakes, let me see the possibility of you changing your ways, in this way, I will give you a chance, remember, this is the last chance in this life. ! "
After saying that, Su Yonglin punched the wooden table hard, then flicked his sleeves, turned around and left the banquet hall without stopping for a moment.
Su Yonglin left the banquet hall through the side door. Outside the side door, Tian Qizi stood there, waiting for Su Yonglin.
After Su Yonglin came out, he followed Su Yonglin's footsteps.
"Are these words too harsh? I am afraid that these people will not only be frightened, but also feel dissatisfied. The more this dissatisfaction accumulates, the problem will not be small. For the entire Ming Dynasty, resentment It’s definitely not a good thing for someone in a high position.”
Su Yonglin didn't look back and continued walking forward.
"On the contrary, in the past, I was harsh on my enemies, but too gentle with them, so that they didn't take my deterrence into consideration at all, and they always felt that I could be the survivor, and I was lucky.
Gezi, it’s not too late now, but Ming Dynasty cannot continue to be in a state of action. I must let Ming Dynasty enter a state of inaction while it is still possible, rest with the people, and bring the country into a normal state. Otherwise, things will definitely go wrong. question. "
Tian Guizi was someone Su Yonglin absolutely trusted, so Tian Guizi knew exactly what Su Yonglin did.
Regarding action and inaction, as well as the hidden dangers of the Ming Dynasty now and in the future, Tian Guizi strongly agrees with Su Yonglin's opinions.
"If you put it this way...it's not unreasonable."
"Combining leniency and severity. Originally, I didn't like this method of controlling subordinates. Prestige is enough, but now I feel that an image that is too open-minded and gentle is not conducive to the long-term."
Su Yonglin sneered: "No matter how many times I launch a purge, as long as the knife doesn't hit me, I will always feel no pain and no fear of bleeding. For them, they have been following me step by step for a long time, but they never realized it. In the new era, their roles are completely different.
The new era has come, and I have to become more strict. Everything in the past will never come back. Whoever wants the past to come back is my enemy of life and death. Gezi, it’s time for them to feel the knife pointed at their chests. feeling. "
Tian Guizi pondered for a moment.
"Didn't they themselves have the knife pointed at themselves?"
"No, at least not when I saw it."
Su Yonglin shook his head: "Since they don't want to be decent, I have to help them be decent. As long as they are officials of the Ming Dynasty, they will never take away this knife. Otherwise, the moment the knife is taken away, it will be the beginning of the destruction of the Ming Dynasty." .
Our regime is a regime of revolutionaries. I will never tolerate a speculator standing in front of me and talking to me about what revolution is. They are not worthy! "
"Is it that serious?"
Tian Guizi immediately said: "If that's the case, do you need me to do anything else?"
"Keep an eye on them and never relax."
Su Yonglin said coldly: "Before the people's representative conference system at all levels is established, before people's supervision is truly in place, before the state of inaction is completely established, you must play the role of supervising on your behalf. Whether your work results are good or bad , directly determines whether Ming can smoothly switch to the inaction state."
"I see."
Tian Guizi nodded and accepted this extremely difficult task.
