794 Chicken head and phoenix tail

The news that Jiaqing was killed by Qing army officers was deliberately released by Datang, the purpose of which was nothing more than to create an atmosphere of tension and hesitation throughout the country, and to logically take over control of various places. As the Tang people thought, the www.biquge.info of the pen and the court had fallen apart, and that there was no successor to the royal family, some relatively enlightened areas of the people began to discuss, and the officials of the government began to think about their own future.

Some newspapers and media in the Qing Dynasty are basically inextricably linked with the Tang Dynasty, and most of them are of a Tang-funded nature. After Jiaqing's death, the newspapers began to blatantly publish some discussion articles on the theme of what the country should do.

Many people have put forward their own opinions, but it is not surprising that the voice that occupies the mainstream is the merger into the Tang Republic. The microphones said that Datang is the world's first-class power and dominates the world. The Tang Dynasty was founded by the Chinese Miao descent and is connected to the blood of the country, and most of the Tang people are immigrants from their own country, so there is no difference between the two. The Tang Dynasty has been established for many years, with clear politics, simple folk customs, rich people's lives, prosperous culture and education, developed commerce and trade, scientific and technological progress, and invincible military opponents in all directions. On the other hand, although the domestic situation is not getting worse, in short, there are many problems, how difficult the people's livelihood is, there is corruption in the officialdom, and there are many contradictions. Only with the help of the advanced experience of the Tang Dynasty, the two can be combined into one country to save the people, make the 30,000 descendants of Yan and Huang live a better life, and reopen the atmosphere of the state.

I have to say that this wave of public opinion offensive launched by Datang is quite clever. The people who spoke were all Qing people, and no Tang people took the initiative to pick it out. And when discussing this issue, start from multiple angles and aspects. Some people elaborated on the benefits of joining the Tang Republic, including the improvement of living standards, the rise of international status, and the leap in the degree of social development. Some people elaborate on other options, but in the end they will produce various problems to disprove that the best option is to join the Tang Republic; Some people start from the aspect of fatalism, since ancient times China will be divided for a long time, only a unified country can bring prosperity, and now the Chinese people have established the Tang Dynasty, if they seek to be progressive, they should achieve unification.

The print media mainly influenced the Qing elite, including government officials, intellectuals, and the business class that had risen in recent years. From the point of view of interests, the intellectuals of the old school are the most resistant, but their power has been gradually weakened in the past 20 years, and the intellectuals of the new school have gradually formed a suppression of the intellectuals of the old school. In essence, this is because the Qing court adopted a new style of recruiting scholars under the pressure of the Tang Dynasty, which made the old school intellectuals completely useless.

As far as the industrial and commercial class is concerned, it is in a more complex state of division. A relatively large majority of the industrial and commercial bourgeoisie support joining Datang. There is no doubt that Datang has the most active economic and trade activities on the planet, with low business thresholds, less taxes and fees, and more support, and over the years, in fact, the Qing industrial and commercial bourgeoisie has actually become a part of the vassal Datang, belonging to vested interests, and they will naturally be willing to continue this interest and expand their interests. Of course, there are also some industrial and commercial bourgeoisie who refuse to join the Tang Dynasty, and they hope that there will be a new country that can exclude the power of the Datang industry and commerce, and form a single market, which can make it easier for them to make profits in the Qing country without competition. After all, over the years, many Qing merchants have fallen under the competition with Tang merchants, and many people do not want to face too fierce competition from the Tang Dynasty in order to survive and develop, which naturally belongs to conservatives.

Officials are similar, with different ideas based on their own interests and orientations.

As for the broad masses of the people, in fact, they themselves do not have any opinion on this matter, because they are not accustomed to being able to make decisions, and they are not accustomed to making their own voices to decide their fate. Of course, there are also some people who know a little more about the situation in Datang, and hope that after the merger of the two countries, life can be better. On the contrary, some people will be afraid that after the merger of the two countries, their lives will be even more difficult, and a large amount of Datang grain will pour in, completely destroying the original production structure and economic model.

The lower strata, who occupy an absolute proportion of the country's population, have little say in the choice of the country's fate. The upper class, on the other hand, has already begun to make its own choices according to its own interests and values.

Turning the newspaper in his hand into a ball, Jiang Ziyun, a delicate young man with glasses, said in a loud tone: "I'd rather be a chicken head than a phoenix tail, some people want to hug the thighs of the Tang people ********, but they don't have the slightest backbone, but I think it's the servility handed down from the Tartars who are making trouble." Our generation of people with lofty ideals should strive to serve the country, self-reliance, independence, now that the Qing Emperor is dead, it is the best time for us to start an incident. ”

Zhao Lin, who was wearing a Qing army uniform, asked: "Do you want to ask the Central Committee of the Party Congress for instructions first?" Mr. Sun was in Japan at this time, and it was only fitting that he should preside over it. ”

Jiang Ziyun shook his head and said: "Extraordinary times are extraordinary measures, we can't wait for Mr. Sun to come back to preside over the overall situation." It has already been reported that the governor of Jiangsu Province is ready to take refuge in the Tang people, the Tang army has been fully stationed in major cities in the south of the Yangtze River, and the Guangdong side is also not very stable, and the Tang army in Hong Kong seems to be about to act. If you wait any longer, I'm afraid that half of the country will already be controlled by the Tang people. ”

Zhao Lin said: "The Tang Army and the Wuwei Army have more than 100,000 troops in the country, and it is not known whether they will mobilize the Yamato Corps to China, which will be more than 300,000 troops." The Tang army is extremely powerful, and it is difficult for the new army to compete with it, even if we succeed in the uprising, the Tang people will strike a backhand, and we will be in danger. ”

Jiang Ziyun reprimanded: "Brother Zhao, don't want to raise the morale of others to destroy your own prestige, you are a soldier, how can you not have the toughness of some soldiers?" The Tang people are strong militarily, but whether the Tang people are ready to occupy our country has not yet been determined. Moreover, we have the support of the people of the whole country, how many people are willing to be slaves of the country? ”

Zhao Lin wanted to argue that the Tang people were essentially Chinese, and although they originated in a foreign land, the domestic people did not have any rejection of the Tang people, and Jiang Ziyun's statement was biased. However, Zhao Lin also knew that it was difficult for him to convince Jiang Ziyun, and Jiang Ziyun was also the leader of the Hubei branch of the Revolutionary Party, and his direct boss, although the Hubei branch was not Jiang Ziyun's hall, Jiang Ziyun could easily win the support of other comrades in the branch, and Zhao Lin was not well-connected, so no one would support his views.
