Chapter 315: Entering Beijing (Part II)

In this case, Chai Dongliang naturally knows that the advantage of the new policy in the late Qing Dynasty is that newspapers have blossomed everywhere, and there are no less than 1,000 newspapers in the area ruled by the Jianghuai Army alone, and the sources of information are very rich. From astronomy and geography to trivialities, as long as the ruler is willing to understand, he will never be blinded by his subordinates.

Chai Dongliang, who is about to enter Beijing, is not happy at the moment, he is even a little sad, he originally thought that through three years of propaganda and indoctrination, the common people should initially have a sense of citizenship, but the newspapers have praised one after another, as well as the spontaneous celebrations of the people in various places, so that he does not dare to overestimate the achievements of civil society construction in the past three years.

"Hey, it is only possible to reverse this situation after those students who have read the "Citizen" textbook since childhood and argued about modern society in school have graduated and become the mainstream of society!" Chai Dongliang is also helpless, at this moment he understands a little that a generation can only do the things of a generation, and the result of raising seedlings is often counterproductive.

Chai Dongliang opened his laptop in the small study, and the people who came from the shop were urging and scolding the street, and the familiar greetings in the book review area made him feel very cordial.

"Your sister, is there wood for a week? Brother's hope through the autumn water, there are trees and ???"

"Tangyuan, have you been harmonized or cooked?"

"Tangyuan, it's cool to fly with your two wives in the Republic of China, right? Update, you ** goods! ”

Although the whole article is full of foul language scolding the street, this kind of foul language makes Chai Dongliang feel very warm, and these words are obviously more practical than those empty praises. This shows that in the Chinese of the 21st century, at least with the initial spirit of contract, readers will naturally demand that the author complete the work with quality and quantity after spending money??? Of course, the number of readers who pay to read the genuine version is only a small number of readers after all, but this is the tinder, and it is such a pitiful income that ensures that the author can code words on a cold night, and there is a box of cheap cigarettes by his side to accompany him through the lonely long night.

Seeing that the reader had reached the edge of the rampage, Chai Dongliang no longer dared to slack off, and began to code words like cramps in his fingers, two hours later, the 5,000-word chapter code was finished, and after carefully checking the typos, Chai Dongliang clicked send.

After sending the updated chapters, Chai Dongliang opened the book friend group with his surname, in fact, he hadn't communicated with book friends for a long time, and even had a faint sense of alienation.

"Tangyuan is big, you're finally here? I'm going to miss you! ”

The first affectionate greeting was the guy "I love the little wolf dog".

Chai Dongliang replied politely: "It's okay for you, I miss you too!" ”

"Who the hell are you? Copycats, right? You are by no means our beloved rice balls! "I love little wolf dogs" obviously questioned Chai Dongliang's identity.

"I say, you dead lady!" Chai Dongliang scolded.

"That's right, your tone just now is very abnormal!"

Chai Dongliang was speechless, this guy is really a ???? Slut!

"Tangyuan, how did you do it? Are you going to hit Germany in the book? I don't know if my brother is a German fan? You should ally with Germany to fight the Mi Ying ghost beast! The Iron Blooded Knife was obviously very unhappy with Chai Dongliang's preparation to join the Entente in the late stage of World War I to fight the Allies.

Chai Dongliang couldn't cry or laugh: "The First World War was a war in which a group of dogs grabbed bones, China is the bone in their eyes, and a bone actually fell in love with a dog, what a noble feeling!" ”

"Don't say it's useless, I just like Germany, and I just don't like it!"

Chai Dongliang said coaxingly: "It's not pleasing to the eye, you can take it off the shelves and not look at it!" ”

The Iron Blood Knife immediately withered: "Then you didn't say it to me!" ”

In fact, Chai Dongliang is more optimistic about Germany in his heart, a nation that has been divided for 700 years, a small country in Central Europe is sandwiched between powerful neighbors, it only took 30 years to become the hegemon of the European continent, and laid a deep and unshakable foundation, even if it was defeated in two world wars, it did not shake this foundation, until the 21st century, Germany is still the most powerful country in Europe.

If China and the United States rise, it is very normal, and there is too much inevitability. With the exception of Yuben in the east and Russia in the north, China no longer has a strong neighbor that threatens China's security, not to mention that Russia has already begun to decline, and Yuben is not yet a real world power. China has an abundant labor force and a large domestic market, which is an advantage that other countries cannot hope for. To put it bluntly, the capital left by the ancestors is strong enough.

There is a very popular saying in China in later generations, which means that China is poor because of its large number of people. This kind of statement is simply not worth refuting, is it possible that wealth falls from the sky, and fewer people can share a little more? Could it be that the 1.3 billion Chinese are all sitting at home eating and waiting for death, only consuming resources and not creating wealth? In fact, in the 21st century, the industriousness of the Chinese has reached the limit, but the income is far less than that of the same Confucian cultural circle, and the population density is far greater than that of China and South Korea.

Chai Dongliang really wants to ask, where has all the wealth created by the Chinese gone? That's the crux of the matter!

The geographical environment of the United States is even more special, there is no strong enemy in the north and south, where can Canada and Mexico have the ability to threaten the security of the United States? The huge United States only needs 60,000 troops to suffice. The two oceans of the East and the West cut off war-torn Europe, and the United States has extremely rich resources.

In contrast, the rise of Germany is a bit against the sky! Sometimes, Chai Dongliang is a little skeptical, Bismarck and Wilhelm I, these two guys are not in the past in later generations, otherwise, how can there be so many institutional construction of creating surnames on the road to the rise of Germany.

The old book gnawed on the mouse and also asked: "Tangyuan, I've been reading it for so long, and you haven't said yet, what kind of system do you plan to use!" What do you want the protagonist to do, the president for life? ”

Chai Dongliang said categorically: "Imperial! Constitutional monarchy! ”

Obviously, this statement was unexpected by the reader, and it took a long time before it was humanized: "Imperial? That's a step backwards, right? ”

Chai Dongliang said without thinking: "At present, in China, only the constitutional monarchy system can bring real stability and openness, the basis of the republic system is the sovereignty of the whole people, the problem is the republic system in the early years of the Republic of China, the ownership of the whole people is equal to the ownership of managers, equal to the ownership of officials, and equal to the ownership of those who read talents!" A pseudo-republic in which a group of oligarchs, large and small, compete for supreme power, is far more harmful than the monarch [***], and it is even worse than a constitutional monarchy! ”

The old book gnawed on the mouse and said worriedly: "The constitutional monarchy is not easy to do, the Qing Dynasty has tried, and the country has perished!" Yuan Shikai tried, the meaning of the name 'Emperor Hongxian' is to promote and magnify the Constitution, but Lao Yuan was forced to die, and being the emperor is a dead end! ”

Chai Dongliang said with a smile: "When the Qing court implemented the constitutional reform, the whole country was looking forward to it, and it was not abandoned because they were alien Tatars, but the so-called constitutional reform of the Qing court made a royal cabinet, and made fifteen years of preparation for the constitution, so that the whole country no longer has patience with them, as for the 'constitution' that Yuan Shikai did, it is greater than the power of the [***] imperial power, so what do you need the constitution for?" What's more, at that time, Yuan Shikai couldn't even manage his own son, and he could still manage such a big country and the proud soldiers of Beiyang? ”

The iron-blooded mad knife, who was still a little unhappy just now, suddenly became excited: "The emperor is good!" Damn, Imperial Guard, it's, it's much better than the Republican Guard! Prepare a trick for me, I'm going to be the first Supreme Commander of the Imperial Praetorian Guard! ”

The old book gnawed at the mouse and asked: "I remember that in your book, Dr. Goodnow and Liang Qichao once said that in order to move from the current pseudo-republic to a real constitutional monarchy, there must be five conditions that must be met. If you can't do these conditions, then the protagonist's fate is the second Yuan Shikai, who is begged by the Chinese people and becomes a street rat, have you ever thought about it, if the protagonist takes this road, it will be much more difficult than taking the pseudo-republic to be a lifelong president or a national leader! ”

Dr. Goodnow and Liang Qichao, two Chinese and foreign constitutional experts, have prescribed medicine that only by implementing a constitutional monarchy can China truly enter the process of modernization, but at the same time, they both believe that it is really a very difficult thing.

Goodnow believes that there must be three conditions for moving from a pseudo-republic to a real constitutional monarchy: the first is the support of the whole country, the second is that the president has extremely high prestige, and the third is the support of the great powers. Liang Qichao believes that there are two extreme conditions to make China move from a pseudo-republic to a constitutional monarchy, the first is that the president has supreme prestige, and at the same time, if the conditions are right, he will participate in a war and determine China's hegemony in Asia through a large-scale foreign war, so that the president can become the emperor of the empire with the support of the people by virtue of his supreme prestige. The second is that the pseudo-republic is rotten, the domestic warlords are fighting, and the common people are disgusted with the republic to the extreme, and then a military strongman comes out to clean up the situation and becomes the emperor of the empire with unmatched force in the country.

Chai Dongliang very much agrees with Liang Qichao's point of view, but the first situation is extremely ideal, it is difficult to do, and the second is easy, as long as the warlords are indulged in a big fight.

However, Chai Dongliang is not so cold-blooded, he can only take the first road, lead the country to prosperity and strength, dominate the Far East, and become a decisive force in the world. At the same time, through constitutional reform, the state system of the constitutional monarchy was determined, so as to avoid the farce of warlords and oligarchs vying for supreme power that had occurred in later generations.

However, the prime minister has to pass his own psychological barrier, and Chai Dongliang's education since childhood told him that anyone who wants to be an emperor after the Republic of China is a villain, a perverse act, and a social regression. The idea that the so-called republic is more advanced than the constitutional monarchy has long taken root in Chai Dongliang's mind when he was a child. It seems that as long as the word republic is stained, it seems that they are more advanced than the monarchy.

Moreover, this road is indeed very difficult, and the slightest carelessness may lead to a catastrophe and become another farce in history.

Chai Dongliang typed out a line of words: "The right path is often more difficult to follow than the beginning of the evil road, but if no one is willing to go, then the possibility of slipping into the evil path will be infinitely magnified??? I hope this route is my first creation! ”

After a long time, the iron-blooded mad knife typed out a paragraph: "Pretend to be a criminal, if you want to be the emperor, just say it directly, who doesn't want it in the three palaces and six courts?" It's so lively, don't you still want to be the emperor in the end? Don't talk nonsense, don't forget your brother's tricks, Commander-in-Chief of the Praetorian Guard! ”

Chai Dongliang was completely embarrassed!
