Chapter 10 The Wind and Clouds Will Rise (1)
Before the Sui and Tang Dynasties, there were no stools or chairs, so the ancients used to sit cross-legged or kneel. Kneeling ceremony was the most convenient and simplest etiquette method under the habits of life at that time, and there was no meaning of humiliation.
During the Sui and Tang Dynasties, after stools and chairs appeared in China, the way of living was completely changed, and the long-term habit of kneeling and worship was not changed. Kneeling as a fixed etiquette was still retained. The difference is that since people no longer kneel, kneeling and worship became inconvenient. Over time, this inconvenience became part of the etiquette. The difference in status was obvious when kneeling and worshipping to those sitting on chairs or stools or standing people was obvious. Therefore, the inequality of kneeling and worshipping really appeared.
Those who perform kneeling and worship often always surrender and humble. This kind of etiquette contains elements that insult personality and damage people's dignity. In 1912, Mr. Sun Yat-sen announced the cancellation of the kneeling and worship. From then on, except for some special occasions such as funerals, worshiping gods and worshiping gods, the kneeling and worshiping ceremony will no longer be used when meeting.
It is now 1906. Although it has only been about 6 years since the abolition of the kneeling ceremony, Chen Hao can't wait! If he wants to quickly establish a strong army in the world with only ideals, self-esteem, a sense of justice and super combat effectiveness, he must immediately make changes! And the tedious etiquette of kneeling ceremony, which is annoying, is not suitable for the trend of modern and modern army development! Therefore, it must be abolished immediately!
The people kneeling on the ground thought that an invincible war god like Chen Hao would say so solemnly that they would solve a big problem, that would be to let everyone do something that would last forever! Therefore, they were ready to go to the death as they were.
As a result, what was waiting for was to ask them not to kneel down and worship such a very pleasing good thing in the future. How could this not shock them!
Although they were sincerely kneeling down to Chen Hao, their leaders were either wealthy businessmen or outstanding children from the village, and no one had more or less exposed to Western doctrines and the Western world.
Moreover, they were all top citizens under the rule of the Lanfang Republic. Many of them had buns of hair and Hanfu, and they used fists to hold their fists when they met. When European civilization dominated the world, kneeling and worship became a barbaric act of backward civilizations.
When they saw Chen Hao kneeling down, they had to worship not only because Chen Hao saved their lives, but also because he was sent by the Qing government!
Now, when I heard that I didn’t have to kneel down, Liu Liang jumped up and said happily: “Sir, I have long been tired of such tedious ups and downs, and it is not at all satisfying! Sir, I am wise!"
Xia Xingyu had long seen that Chen Hao was very disgusted with kneeling and bowing. After everyone got up, he said in agreement: "Ryozi is right. Just keep our respect for adults in mind. This way, it is really annoying to be ups and downs! Abolishing this kneeling and bowing ceremony, everyone is clean and neat in doing things."
Others also agreed. Chen Hao wanted to force them to waive the kneeling ceremony by order, but he never thought that everyone was so open-minded and had long been bored with kneeling ceremony. He couldn't help but smile bitterly. It seemed that he didn't know enough about the Nanyang people!
After thinking about it, Chen Hao Zhanyan smiled, stood up and made a standard attentive move, and said sternly: "If I want me to train each of you to become an iron-blooded soldier like me, and then there will be no seat for you to sit in the future! In front of me, you all have to maintain this standing posture. Can you do it?"
Looking at Chen Hao who stood straight up in an instant, standing like a javelin, showing his sharpness, everyone's eyes showed a fanatical expression! They all followed suit and did as they did.
Seeing that Xia An was standing upright and stood in front of him with his head raised, Chen Hao shrugged awkwardly, walked to Xia An and said in a pleasing manner: "This, Uncle Xia, you don't have to stand like this. You should sit under my head and discuss matters together, how about it?"
Xia An shook his head and stood motionless and asked, "Nephew, do you think Uncle Xia is old? Uncle Xia has cut off more than a dozen Indonesians in the past few days."
Chen Hao smiled bitterly and said sincerely: "How dare you? I want to bother Uncle Xia to be my deputy and manage all matters together. Therefore, I dare to ask Uncle Xia to sit down and discuss matters."
Xia An just refused and said firmly: "Nephew, Uncle Xia has always been fascinated by the courage and wisdom of his nephew when he heard his child talk about his nephew's courage and wisdom! Today, since he is lucky enough to join his nephew's command, he should act according to the rules set by his nephew and never want to receive special treatment!"
Chen Hao had no choice but to go to the top and sat down, and said seriously: "In this way, everyone must abide by our military rules in the future, otherwise they will definitely not give up!"
Everyone responded with a loud bang! Although they had not slept all night and were busy from the morning until now, they were very excited to get Chen Hao's personal teaching so quickly, and they all stood up straight without any fatigue!
Chen Hao nodded secretly, sat and pondered for a while, and then said with certainty: "According to my speculation, after this great riot, the Dutch and Indonesians will restrain themselves. When the Chinese gather again, they will find an opportunity to attack me and Chinese! Therefore, we must seize this opportunity and first train a capable small army. Then, with Qingyuanzhuang as the base, use war to support war, quickly expand the territory and expand personnel! At that time, with us as the center, we will set up reconnaissance teams everywhere. As long as an enemy enters our territory, they will have no return!"
After listening to Chen Hao's analysis and response, everyone suddenly became enlightened and showed an uplifting look! Song Sicheng stood even more straighter, and then nodded and praised: "Sir, there is nothing to do! After the Dutch massacres in the past, they would slaughter our Chinese settlements with the Indonesians every interval. Moreover, by constantly dividing our Chinese, we dispersed our Chinese power and were eventually defeated by them. This is how the Lanfang Republic perished!"
After hearing Chen Hao's words, Xia An was also very excited and nodded and praised: "It is very possible to establish a base with Qingyuan Village as the center and then expand its territory! Qingyuan Village is surrounded by mountains on three sides, easy to defend and difficult to attack. As long as you use 5 or 6 meters of huge tropical trees to build a wooden fence at the opening of the valley, even if the Dutch come with cannons, they cannot attack. Moreover, there are many Chinese villages near Qingyuan Village. As long as we can protect their safety, they will definitely rely on our power. At that time, as long as there is any movement, they will report to us!"
Luo Jun showed a fanatical look on his face and said in a fascination: "With the skills of our master, as long as we learn 30%, then, as long as the Dutch devils and Indonesians enter our sphere of influence, whether we launch a harassment war or carry out night attacks, the Dutch devils and Indonesians will die without a burial place! At that time, as long as we buy guns and train them, we will sweep the entire West Borneo!"
Seeing that his subordinates were so smart, Chen Hao suddenly understood his strategic intentions and was very happy! He said, "Now, I have no worries about money in my hands, so I have to train and develop the army with all my strength. I want to establish the People's Liberation Army, which means to save the tens of millions of my Chinese compatriots from the fire and water! I am the commander-in-chief of the People's Liberation Army. From now on, you should not call me the commander-in-chief again, just call me the commander-in-chief!"
