Chapter 352: Revolutions have never been bloody
(A young captain of the Moscow Guards, looking down at the peasants, turns to them and says: "I know very well who will dare to be the first."
“Whoever rises up against the oppressors of his people will surely face death.”
……
A man in a suit in the hall gave a passionate speech: "Can freedom be redeemed without sacrifice? I will sacrifice myself for my beloved motherland!"
He raised his head and said firmly, "I have a premonition, I know it! Father, I am relieved! I praise my fate!"
After he finished speaking, he bowed to the other young officers who were listening to his speech.
...…）
"Everyone wants freedom, but no one is willing to pay the price."
＜Fearing being implicated, many egoists prefer to sit back and enjoy the fruits of their labor……＞
＜I am willing to pay the price, my comrade, Davari!＞
＜This captain is Dimitri Shepin Rostovsky, because his sacrifice bought precious preparation time and provided an opportunity for other insurgents! ＞
＜Everyone’s sacrifice is not in vain! ＞
＜The real purpose of the Decembrists was to overthrow the monarchy and abolish serfdom! The Decembrists did not want to shed the blood of civilians and insisted on relying on the army to achieve victory. In the end, they were defeated by the Tsar’s superior military force [sigh]＞
They betrayed their class
＜As Napoleon conquered Europe, the ideas of freedom and equality also spread across Europe. Tsarist Russia was also on its way to suppress the French Revolution. A large number of young officers came to Paris from Moscow. They not only suppressed the revolution, but also learned about the ideas of freedom, equality, and democracy during the suppression. The young liberal officers, the future "Decembrists", chose to rebel against their own class! ＞
[Emperor Gaozu of Han Liu Bang: Hmm... that's right. It seems that the first person to start an uprising will not have a good ending?]
[Ming Hongwu Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang: They betrayed their own class?]
[Qin Shi Huang Ying Zheng: Thoughts of freedom, equality, and democracy?]
[Emperor Wu of Han Liu Che: Can equality for all really be achieved?]
……
The content of this video has made many people dare not speak freely.
Can they follow suit and say, "Although Chen Sheng, Wu Guang and others were the first group to revolt, they were not the ultimate winners."?
But if the first person had not rebelled, would there be others to follow?
Questioning voices came one after another from the light curtain, and the people from various dynasties no longer cared whether they would be beheaded or not. They were somewhat angry that the light curtain always spread something like hope to them.
"free?"
"Living in the era of kings and nobles, what freedom can ordinary people have?"
"equality?"
"Have people in later generations really achieved equality? It's not just slogans?"
"democracy?"
"...The future is thousands of years away from us. Can we see the era when the people are the masters of their own country?"
"It's better to be more practical..."
Ordinary people have only a vague understanding of the content of light curtains, and watching light curtains in life is a diversion from boring days.
The more they look at life thousands of years from now, the more they feel envious and disgusted with what they cannot have.
“Why do you still let us watch it?”
……
Zhu Yuanzhang was deeply moved by the words on the screen.
"The first to revolt against the Yuan Dynasty." Zhu Yuanzhang paused, thinking of the ending of the Red Turban Army. Although they did not succeed, they did hold off the Yuan Tartars in the north.
The video played on the light screen is really too random.
In the past few years, Guangmu always liked to say, "Old Zhu betrayed his class. He was born a peasant, but in the end he became the emperor and had already forgotten the peasants."
After each incident, he would reflect on himself. Did the harsh criminal law and zero tolerance for corrupt officials achieve results?
Have we brought benefits to farmers again?
……
(The officer in uniform looks straight ahead with a fearless look on his face.
"Even if we are not executed, we will become torches in the dark night!"
“Since ancient times, revolutions have never involved bloodshed.”
"Today, please start with yourself."
They held up flags and lined up to open fire.
On the ice, they are not afraid of life or death, and they persist only for the ideals in their hearts.
The gunfire splashed onto the ice, and several people were pulled into the cold water under the ice.)
＜The Decembrists used their own failure to inspire more people to join the revolution.＞
＜Huh? This sentence sounds like Tan Sitong! "Yes, please start with Sitong!"＞
＜Is there a translation problem?＞
＜Generally speaking, infantry phalanxes are good at countering cavalry, but are afraid of artillery, especially artillery equipped with shotgun shells.＞
＜Don’t think that the square formation shooting tactics, which is what we call line shooting, is stupid [covering face]. Standing in a square formation and shooting at each other was the best solution at the time.＞
＜These people were already a rare elite force, and they lined up and took three rounds of shotgun shells before they collapsed.＞
＜In the era of flintlock rifles, firing in formation was the most effective means of fire suppression.＞
＜This was the late Jiaqing period in my country. Was there a White Lotus Rebellion?＞
＜The Decembrists have failed tactically and should have expanded their forces even more. Alas, success is impossible without relying on the masses.＞
[Liu Bang, Emperor Gaozu of Han: Well, your spirit is commendable.]
[Emperor Yongle of the Ming Dynasty: Flintlock? The relative period in Europe at this time was the Qing Dynasty... Their firearms development was slower than ours at this stage?]
[Emperor Daoguang of the Qing Dynasty Aixinjueluo Minning: The White Lotus Sect is really lingering! ]
[Li Jing in the fourth year of Tang Zhenguan: The square formation design tactics mentioned above were still used in the late Qing Dynasty. The British army in the movie "Red River Valley" played on the screen before also used this tactic.]
[Someone in the 19th year of Daoguang reign of the Qing Dynasty: Doesn’t Guangmu talk about the revolution in the late Qing Dynasty?]
[Emperor Daoguang of the Qing Dynasty Aisin-Gioro Minning: ? ? ? ]
……
The time travelers who rely on certain special factors to travel infinitely into Daoguang years are unable to make comments due to the limitations of time and space, but can they guide other local people to develop?
"Hmm...if we talk about the Reform Movement and the Xinhai Revolution, the effect will probably be better. Well, the French Revolution is also OK, and the February Revolution and October Revolution in Russia are also OK."
All revolutions cannot be separated from the support of the people. We must try our best to let everyone know and understand what they are doing, what the purpose is, and what kind of new life will be like in the future.
……
Zhu Di from another time and space made a comment on the light screen. Zhu Di of the Hongwu Dynasty was also wondering whether they could use this tactic?
