The inevitable result of the reform is the redistribution of benefits.

It is necessary to reduce the resistance to the reform of the law, ensure the smooth progress of the reform, and remember that in the process of changing the law, it is necessary to harm the vital interests of individuals as little as possible.

For, as a great man said, the axioms of geometry are contrary to personal interests and are opposed by people.

And these individual scholars of the Restorationists didn't care about that.

In order to streamline the organization, reduce redundant personnel, and lighten the financial burden, they went so far as to remove more than 100 yamen in one go. More than 10,000 officials lost their jobs because of this.

If the temple is demolished without a good placement of monks, can it not make monks make trouble everywhere?

Many of these people are in favor of the reform of the law, and they also have high hopes for the change, and most of them are at least on the sidelines. But now it's good, they have all been pushed to the opposite side of the reformers.

In fact, whether it is a reformist or a conservative, in the final analysis, they all want to do a good job in the country, and few people deliberately want to make the country bad; Including the Queen Mother of the West is no exception.

Did she necessarily oppose the change in the first place? Not necessarily. If the law can be changed to improve the country, can she not be happy to see it?

It is not unfounded that we say such things. For example, even after her coup d'état, she still kept the Kyoto University Hall, which was run during the Reform Movement.

When the Eight-Nation Coalition entered Beijing, she fled and returned, and the new policies she implemented were much stronger than the reform and reform of the law.

But the reformers want her life, can she sit idly by?

There is that no matter what changes. The revolution could not have been carried out without the support of the broad masses of the people, and the reform and reform movement was nothing but the activity of a small number of social elites.

Sadly, when the news of the successful coup d'état of Cixi broke, it was recorded that there was a chorus of cheers in many parts of the people. It can be seen that the ideas of the reformers did not have much public support, at least not understood by the general public.

What's even more tragic is that on the way to the execution ground, the great hero Tan Sitong was attacked by many onlookers on the side of the road with rotten leaves.

Obviously, these people want to show that they are obedient people of the Qing Dynasty and want to draw a line with "rebellious" people like Tan Sitong.

It's hard for people to understand this kind of thing nowadays, but we can't help but say that these are real, real things that have happened.

Rash. Xun's novel "Medicine" has a similar plot. When the revolutionary Xia Yu was in the prison where he was imprisoned, he said to the jailer: "This great invitation to the world belongs to all of us." Now it seems to be an ordinary sentence, but at that time, it was regarded as heresy by the jailers, so he beat the revolutionary Xia Yu. When the executioner who cut off the head of the revolutionary Xia Yu on the execution ground told everyone about this incident in the teahouse, everyone agreed that the revolutionary Xia Yu was talking crazy.

Today's people's understanding shows that history has made great strides forward.

When the Wuxu Reform was in full swing, a foreigner asked Kang Youwei: You have to do so many things, where does the money come from?

Kang Youwei went so far as to say that he could sell Xinjiang and Tibet for money.

In the late Manchu Qing Dynasty, he was so poor that he had no choice, and he was just a blatant traitor. And we, the leaders of the Wuxu movement. sleeves, you want to sell the land?

If, we mean if, if the reformers win, this leader of the Wuxu Reform. The sleeve will definitely be the first assistant of the official,

If he does sell his country, who knows what kind of bad consequences he will bring to the country?

It is often said that knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent is invincible. And Kang Youwei and others do not know themselves or others in terms of military strength. Ronglu near Gyeonggi has more than 100,000 troops in his hands, while Yuan Shikai has only 7,000 people in his hands, and he is far away from a small station.

Even if Yuan Shikai can be wholeheartedly loyal to the reformers, isn't it a drop in the bucket?

Of course, the Wuxu Reform Law is of great historical significance.

It was a great enlightenment for the closed and backward countries and people under the rule of the decadent Qing Dynasty, which promoted the emancipation of the mind and dealt a heavy blow to the feudal autocracy that was coming to an end.

He has made immortal contributions to the development of ideology and culture, to the progress of China's modern society, and even to China's march toward democracy and republicanism.

In any case, it should be a fact that Yuan Shikai did not play such a big role in the failure of the Wuxu Reform Movement.

As for him deceiving those hot-blooded people and going to tell the truth after agreeing to others, such an act must be very dishonorable.

What did Yuan Shikai himself say?

He wrote in his "Self-Written Wuxu Chronicles": "The Empress Dowager has listened to the government for more than 30 years, and she has been in great trouble, and the merit is in the community, and she is also the king of the world. Besides, now it is the order of the queen mother, and there is also the righteousness of the monarch and the minister, and there is a division between mother and son, how can there be a country without a king and a mother in the world! …… Is Tan Si equally inciting chaos, dividing the two palaces, and wanting to trap the king in injustice, which is tolerated by heavenly reason?

"When it plots chaos, there are three crises in the country: if its murderous plan succeeds, internal and external troubles arise at the same time, and the Central Plains territory is immediately divided, and it is in danger; Set up the protagonist of the show, the party will inevitably harm me, and replace it with its party, there are gangsters inside, and there are strong forces outside, how can it be imagined? Its danger two; Or after venting, the prime minister will not enter the cardinal court, be good at harmonizing, and protect the upper position, all countries will take advantage of the ** dispute, and the bandit party will be coerced to resigned, and it will be out of control, and its danger is three.

"Lai Lie's ancestors are in the heavens, and they are fortunate to be spared from three dangers. However, when the disaster comes, there is no room for it, and it is also dangerous.

"To the world by the country's heavy grace, young court training, since the general nationality for seventeen years, only know to the Tao, do not dare to be a little involved in deception, no matter whether people know or not, and hard work, do not return, their disloyalty and filial piety, to dare not come out; Unexpectedly, at this time, several adventures were involved. However, this trip is intended to punish those who mislead the king and the country, and the party is rude to the king, and it is also the righteousness of the ministers. This heart can be quality, and it is precisely because of this to protect the emperor?

"If the party and others succeed in their murderous schemes, it will be difficult to protect the sect and society, let alone protect the emperor? This is also an inevitable trend. Those who are courtiers, but seek peace of mind, and do not plan otherwise. ”

It's not easy for everyone, and there's nothing to blame too much for self-preservation. But it is already shameless to betray colleagues with lofty ideals for self-preservation, in the words we often say, can you harm others for self-interest?

Whether it was because of Yuan Shikai's whistleblowing led to the coup d'état of the Empress Dowager of the West, we can not care, but there are historical records that because of Yuan Shikai's whistleblowing, it must be true that more people with lofty ideals shed blood and sacrificed.

And to do such a shameful thing, and then dress up as a person who is loyal to the monarch, loves the country and loves the people, it is disgusting.

The same Yuan Shikai, the "Six Gentlemen of Wuxu" who was denounced and abused by him here, was vigorously commended by him after more than ten years.

It's just that at that time, he was already the president of the Republic of China.

In January 1914, Chen Tingjie, the chief of civil affairs of Sichuan, made an inventory of the life deeds of Liu Guangdi and Yang Rui among the six gentlemen of Wuxu, and submitted them to President Yuan Shikai, and asked Yuan Shikai to order his province to make an inventory of the life deeds of Tan Si and others, and give them special commendations.

Yuan Shikai issued an order on January 28: "The Great Scripture of the Founding of the Country, the first to accompany the vitality, and the tomb of the Tomb of the Style, have been the same in the past." The facts of Yang Rui and Liu Guangdi, the former Qing Dynasty gentry of Sichuan, are presented in detail, and they are deeply admired. Since the special interpretation of the light, with the martyrs, handed over to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to reward the shirt to exhortation.

"And the civil affairs chiefs of Hunan, Fujian, Shanxi, and Guangdong provinces were ordered by this part to immediately make an inventory of the facts of Tan Sitong, Lin Xu, Yang Shenxiu, and Kang Guangren, and give them mercy, with the intention of repaying merit with virtue."

is also the same Yuan Shikai, in his "Self-Written Wuxu Ji Luo", confessed that he was loyal to the monarch by the national grace of the Qing Dynasty.

And in order to become the president of the Republic of China, what kind of man did he play with Puyi, the last emperor of the Qing Dynasty, and a pair of orphans and widows.

Some people may say that this time, that time.

The author thinks that politicians like Yuan Shikai should not take some of their words seriously. Of course, that's an afterthought.

In December 1898, in order to unite the various armies in Beiyang and facilitate command and control, Rong Lu requested the establishment of the Armed Guard Army. The Wu Yi Army of Nie Shicheng's department is the front army of Wuwei, the Gan Army of Dong Fuxiang's department is the rear army of Wuwei, the Yi Army of Song Qing is the left army of Wuwei, and the new army of Yuan Shikai is the right army of Wuwei.

From then on, Yuan Shikai's newly built army was renamed the Wuwei Right Army.

In January 1899, the Empress Dowager summoned Yuan Shikai and rewarded him for riding a horse in the Xiyuan Gate and dragging the bed on a boat.

In March, the Ministry of Communications was preserved. In June, Yuan Shikai was promoted to the right attendant of the Ministry of Industry and was in charge of the affairs of Qian Fatang.

Yuan Shikai was promoted again.

The blood stained the red top, which should be the reward of the aspirants who betrayed the reform movement.
