In Kung Fu Panda 2, Phoenix City Young Master Shen Wangye is a very talented young scientist. He keenly sees that gunpowder will become the driving force of advanced productivity, not just a prop used by the feudal ruling class for fun , so he did not hesitate to draw a line from his decadent and conservative feudal family, united with the masses of workers and peasants, and tried to transform the old feudal society Phoenix City with new productive forces.
Driven by the emerging gunpowder revolution, the old feudal lords and their reactionary warlords (headed by Rhino Man) were no longer enough to suppress the people's army (Wolf Legion) composed of untrained civilians, and artillery quickly wiped out civilians and samurai in Differences in individual combat. As Marx said, gunpowder blew the knight class to pieces. Engels said that the stone walls of the noble castle, which had been invulnerable before, could not resist the cannons of the citizens, and the citizens' guns shot through the armor of the knights. The domination of the nobility was over with the armoured cavalry. Phoenix, under the rule of the feudal landlord class, was finally overthrown by the revolutionaries representing the new productive forces, and a new regime was established. The first year of the construction of the peacock. Shen Wangye, who had won the initial victory, chased Yu Yong after the poor bandits, and was determined to plant the red flag all over the Central Plains, so he began to prepare for the export revolution. Lord Shen tried to dismount the emperor with more cannons. So launched a steel-smelting campaign, mobilizing the masses everywhere to donate metal. Shen Wangye is also very savvy in industrial management. He quickly invented the production line technology, and sent pots and pans to the open hearth through the conveyor belt. In the agricultural society, he lit up the spark of the industrial revolution. The revolutionary army, armed with modern industrialization, has become a powerful force.
The victory of the revolution then rattled the ruling class, who quickly united in an attempt to stifle the revolution in its cradle. They quickly gathered reactionary armed forces headed by Kung Fu Panda Po and the Fantastic Five to fight back and retaliate. And speculators like Yang Xiangu also took the opportunity to infiltrate the revolutionary ranks, spreading pessimism and disappointment among the revolutionaries. After the initial victory, Lord Shen also lacked revolutionary experience and did not discover Yang Xiangu's true face in time, and he was even more concerned about the enemy. The crazy counterattack is underestimated.
In the final decisive battle, due to the alliance of internal and external reactionary forces, the revolutionary Shen Wangye finally failed, and his Red Navy was destroyed by Po. Abao tried to distort the revolutionary theory of class struggle with the theory of bourgeois fraternity that wiped out classes. But Lord Shen was unyielding and fought to the end against the reactionary enemy.
reason:
In this way, the vigorous Peacock Revolution was suppressed by the combination of internal and external reactionary forces. There are various reasons for the failure of this revolution, including the following:
1. Due to the limitations of class background, Lord Shen did not really realize the importance of the masses of the people, although he organized a revolutionary army, But they did not let go of mobilizing the masses. On the contrary, when implementing the wartime communist economic plan, there were shortcomings such as blunt and simple methods and lack of compensation, which dampened the enthusiasm of the masses for production, hindered the productive forces, and damaged the alliance of workers and peasants.
2. The revolutionary army has no ideological and political education and lacks political commissars. As a result, some cadres and soldiers have unclear positions on the enemy and ourselves, and lack a deep hatred of class enemies. History has proved that the implementation of the revolutionary concept to every soldier, the branch down to the company, is far more effective than the tragic shouting "Cannon! Cannon!" on the battlefield.
3. Lord Shen lacked understanding of the role of peasants in the revolution and the significance of building a worker-peasant alliance, and failed to solve the peasants' land issue. Although Lord Shen confiscated the land of the feudal bureaucrats, he did not distribute it to the poor peasants who were eager to get the land, but prematurely used the land to build steel factories and arsenals. In this way, little changes have taken place in the countryside of Heping Valley after the revolution. As a result, many peasants with little or no land were indifferent to the revolution, greatly weakened the peasants' support for the revolutionary regime, and failed to establish a solid worker-peasant alliance. Lenin pointed out at the Second Congress of the Communist International held in 1921 that the proletarian revolution... must satisfy the thirst for land of the poor and hired peasants to varying degrees, "otherwise the small peasants will not see what the Soviet dictatorship has to do with the previous government. If the state power of the proletariat does not implement this policy, it will not be able to sustain.”
4. The work of eliminating counter-revolutionaries is not seriously carried out. Although the Peacock Revolutionary Government suppressed counter-revolutionaries such as feudal strata, traitors, pandas, etc., the work of eliminating counter-revolutionaries was incomplete. History has proved that the success of the revolution must suppress the resistance of the exploiters, the ruling class, the landlords and their lackeys. However, the revolutionary government did not implement this very well, and did not conduct strict scrutiny on some witches who said they had "served" the old Phoenix government. Under the black banner of "prophecy of fate" raised by the rightist Yang Xiangu, these people got into the party, the government, the army and the trade union to carry out various conspiracy and sabotage activities. Many of them acted as internal response to external enemies.
5. For imperialists like A Bao and his like, the Peacock Revolutionaries did not fully understand their reactionary nature, and were deceived by their cunning counter-revolutionary hands. They traced back to the origin of the question of whether A Bao was proletarian or not, wasting time. As a result, the revolution lost a favorable fighter opportunity, and the reactionary forces were able to make a comeback and strangle the revolution. These are the reasons for the failure of the Peacock Revolution.
Impact:
The Peacock Revolution was the world's first attempt to directly seize urban power by armed proletariat violence. It enriched and developed theories on class struggle and socialism, and wrote a glorious, great and tragic page on the international communist movement. It is true that due to the constraints of the political and economic conditions at that time, the feudal autocracy in the world is in a period of rising and great development, and the stubborn natural economy is doing its last stage of dying struggle. The class uprising could not carry out its desire to overthrow feudalism and realize scientific socialism. But, as a feat, it brings us education and reflection. It profoundly shows that the pastoral life in a feudal society is only a Shangri-La within the feudal lord. When the struggle of the proletariat threatens the interests and safety of the ruling class, the ruling class will not hesitate to throw the so-called pastoral life into a pool of blood.
dispute:
Of course, there are also some controversies, such as the belief that in the early stages of industrialization, the power of gunpowder weapons was still not enough to change the balance of power among classes. It is even believed that Lord Shen actually used cannons as a weapon to maintain his personal dictatorship, and his approach is no different from the degeneration of the New Model Army into a tool of Cromwell's personal dictatorship. One of the former disputes has been a unified understanding of the historians. The shock of the cannon to the world of kung fu is irreversible. This failure is more due to the fact that this new type of weapon has just come out and participated in the war for the first time, and there are many shortcomings. Just like when tanks first appeared, there were a lot of mechanical failures. However, Lord Shen's cannon has disadvantages such as cumbersome gun mounts and lack of aiming system. The biggest problem is that the type of ammunition is too single. It is very difficult to hit the agile kung fu heroes with solid iron ball cannonballs against the city wall. If Lord Shen's cannon was equipped with shotguns, Po was unlikely to win easily. In any case, the artillery opened a new mode of warfare. The infantry regiment composed of civilians with the artillery as the core will replace the feudal army composed of a few kung fu masters and a large number of temporarily recruited serfs. Lord Shen failed, but the industrial revolution and the concept of equality for all have been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Presumably in Kung Fu Panda 3, there will be a peacock who has learned from Lord Shen, carrying an improved cannon and machine gun, as well as a political commissar who went down to the company. The proletarian army, as well as a large number of people in the back who pushed small wheelbarrows to deliver food and smelted steel and made artillery shells, returned to Phoenix.
The so-called end of kung fu is the people who have awakened. Finally, let us learn the teachings of the great men once again:
"The people, and only the people, are the driving force behind the creation of history."
