1908 Far Eastern Maniac Chapter 123 Trial Republic

The commander's words made everyone's eyes shine.

"That's a way to go."

Liu Yi of the League first agreed with Zhao Bei's idea. At all costs. As long as the room is cleared, it will be returned. Republic of one. The rest is much easier. In the eyes of many in the League. The revolution was a racial revolution. As long as the flag man gives up the country. It's all easy.

"Preferential treatment of the former emperor abolished. This is not without precedent. Cao Wei was so courteous to the queen of Shu Han. Yang Du also praised it. He was originally a monarchy. Stubborn position. So I just liked it. And then he insisted on his own point of view.

"Still. According to the view. It's better to have a constitutional monarchy. Therefore, this suggestion of "preferential treatment for the abdicated royal family" can not be considered. As for the republics. Every few years, there is a change of head of state. It's too child's play. Let the people be at a loss. It is also not conducive to the long-term peace and stability of the country. We are too illiterate in China. There are too many fools. Can't afford to play republican. And. The so-called "once a son of heaven and a courtier". A change of head of state requires a change of central member. And so it goes. Doesn't it delay the right thing? ”

"We can implement a new bureaucratic system." North put down the teacup. Fingers crossed.

"The new civil service system has two characteristics: first. Exams as an official. Similar to the imperial examination. However, the content of the examination is mainly based on practical knowledge. For example, policy theory; Second. The chief officer does not change the deputy officer. Officials do not change clerks. Unless they are in office. Otherwise, you can keep working until you retire. Such people are government employees. Also called civil servants. Right now. Hubei Province has begun to experiment with this civil service system. Even if the head of the department changes. It will not affect government affairs in the slightest. ”

Everyone put aside the "preferential treatment of the abdicated royal family". I began to figure out this kind of civil service system. Junjue is very reasonable. In this way, the heads of various departments take office. It seems that there is no need to bring staff anymore. It is completely possible to "lead an outsider to an insider". It also put an end to the hands of the officials.

Du shook his head. said: "This new civil service system is indeed good. But the monarchy can also be used. China's imperial system has been in place for thousands of years. How can you say that you can change it? The wisdom of the people has not yet been opened. Without the emperor, there is no backbone. The emperor is the destiny of heaven and the symbol of the state. Look at the UK. Look at Ben again. It is precisely because there is an emperor. in order to unite the people. All in one. Raise the prestige of the country outside the territory. Cloth, Germany in the four seas. ”

Zhao Bei retorted: "This fallacy! What fate? Whoever has the big fist is the emperor! Flipping through the history books, which emperor did not sit on the throne with a lot of white bones? Skinny. You are a good learner. But he fell into the trap of "Emperor's-". Time is easy. Times have progressed. It's better to throw away the contents of that set of old papers. China has practiced an imperial system for thousands of years. This is indeed true. But at the same time. These thousands of years of history are also full of darkness and decay, lies and deception. This is also true. Look at those so-called feudal "heyday". But there was no major peasant war. The people were able to drink porridge to get by, which was boasted as a "prosperous age" by those rotten Confucians who praised the emperor's stinky feet, and this requirement was too low. For the emperor this kind of thing. The literati at the end of the Ming Dynasty had already summed up the essence. That's eight words: poison the world. Exploit the grass people. What is an emperor? The emperor is a robber! Now that history has proven it. The monarchy does not bring blessings to the people. It will not bring strength to the country, so why can't we think differently. What about a republic? ”

Du snorted and said coldly: "Do a republic? The Commander-in-Chief was too light-hearted. It's not a foreign affairs bureau. Do it? If it is folded. Isn't it going to be done? ”

Zhao nodded. "That's right." That's what I mean. Let's start with a "trial republic". Do it for a few years. If it doesn't work well. The people were not pleased. The country is not at peace. So. It's not too late for us to elect a constitutional monarchy. It's just experimenting. Anyway, we Chinese have never run a republic before. Whether it can be good or not really no one knows. But. If you don't try it. And how do you know that the Chinese can't run a communist? At that time, the pseudo-Qing Dynasty ran foreign affairs. Didn't you think you wanted to give it a try at the beginning? The result tasted the sweetness. Out of control. You see. Isn't the Hanyang Arsenal Hanping Company all sent by Westerners? ”

Trial republic?

Hear such fresh advice from the commander-in-chief. Everyone was stunned at first. Then he shook his head secretly. But think about it a little more. I think there is some truth in it. Although I still feel that something is wrong. But I really couldn't think of anything to refute for a while. Present. The people in the room pondered. pondering the proposal of this "trial" republic.

Yang Du couldn't sit still. Stand. Paced a few steps with his hands behind his back. Walked in front of Zhao Bei and stopped. Asked, "Trial republic?" Is the commander-in-chief telling jokes? degrees in Japan. I've heard of the "test field". The high-quality rice is first planted in the experimental field. If it is indeed better than the old rice seeds. Then the planting will be promoted. If it's not good. It's just the loss of a few acres of paddy from a paddy field.

But how can this country be tested like planting rice? If the republic can't do it. The world is in chaos. How can it be said that if you change back to a constitutional monarchy, you will return to a constitutional monarchy? Look at the world. I'm afraid no country has treated itself as an experiment like this? ”

"Why not?" No, Zhao Bei replied. Liu Yi on the side stood up.

"France. That country since the Revolution. Monarchies and republicans have changed over and over again. "First Republic", "Second Republic". Now it's the "Third Republic". I don't know how many republics will be established in the future. ”

That's right! Later there were the Fourth and Fifth Republics. Zhao Bei raised his eyes and looked at Liu Yi. I admired his ability to speak eloquently. But. Yang Du didn't go to "Jin" when he went to Japan. That's a lot of effort to study the history and politics of various countries. Liu Yi's defense doesn't seem to be very clever.

Really. Yang Du immediately retorted: "France is not a "trial republic". That's the real thing. As a result, the republic did not do well. Internal and external troubles. The country is in chaos over and over again. That's the car ahead. Our generation should learn from this. ”

"Shroud. The reason why the monarchy and the republic of France have been repeated many times. It just shows the harm of the residual poison of the imperial system to the progress of civilization. In fact. France - through a iteration of the monarchy and the republic. The country's national system was perfected once. It's as if the phoenix nirvana fire doesn't kill it. It only makes it stronger. Now there are several great powers in the world. Lancey was in the middle of it. Not without reason. This shows that a republic is better than an empire! Zhao Bei stood up. patted Yang Du on the shoulder. Said with a smile.

Yang Du was speechless. That's when I realized. In terms of strong words, he is really no match for the commander-in-chief. But he has a stubborn personality. How can you give up your position so easily? I was stunned. Then he said: "It seems that the commander-in-chief is in his chest. Then I want to ask for advice. If the republic can't do it. Go back again. Do you want to invite the Qing royal family who have abdicated to the throne again? ”

Zhao Bei shook his head. Said: "Skinny." You have a bad memory. Didn't I tell you in front of the Yellow Crane Tower? Even if we have a constitutional monarchy. also find a Han man to be the emperor. Have you forgotten this sentence? So. If the republic doesn't work. Let's support a respected Han man as the emperor and a constitutional monarchy. ”

The crowd was stunned. Several of the flag men present were even more furious

The Qing room hasn't abdicated yet. If you really abdicate in the future, don't you jump up and step on a few feet?

"The republic will do well." Liu Yi hit this strange silence.

"Yes. I think so too. ”

Zhao Beiwei took the tea and moistened his throat. And then he said, "So much. I'm sure you already know where I stand. Say to me. This is a must-do. If you don't give it a try, Gongran will do Junxian, and I, Zhao, will be the first to agree! ”

Yang Du sighed and walked to the door. Standing in front of the threshold, looking at the sky, the back looks very lonely.

Several banner people looked at Jilu's face. Wait for him to speak. The situation is clear. Qing or constitutional monarchy. Or abdicate. There is no other way out. Originally, everyone rushed here with a glimmer of hope. Count on this commander-in-chief to raise his noble hand. To Jun Xian, nodding. But now it seems. Even if he was persuaded to support Junxian. It is not the turn of the flag man to sit on the dragon chair.

Jilu hesitated. A yellow silk was pulled out of his sleeve. Stood up. Take a few steps. Hold the yellow silk high above your head. Then he slowly knelt down. Lang Sheng said: "This is a secret decree of the imperial court. If the Governor agrees to a constitutional monarchy. Then from now on. This Hubei is under the control of the governor for generations. Knighted as "King of E". Hereditary replacement! ”

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

Two fell in response. Fall into pieces.

The difference is. Ruan Zhongshu's teacup was shattered in shock. And Liu Yi's teacup was shattered in anger.

Liu Yi was full of anger. He said: "The rats are desperate. How dare Ann be so arrogant? How can I be a revolutionary soldier who can be bought with a piece of bullshit? If you are willing to sell yourself and take refuge. How can they rise up and make a revolution? ”

Representative Liu has something to say. Ruan Zhongshu came back to his senses. Turning his head to look at the commander-in-chief. But I saw the commander-in-chief standing there with his hands behind his back expressionlessly. I don't know what he's thinking.

Liu Yi has something to say. Ruan Zhongshu heard it. Zhao Bei also heard it. But even without his words. This secret decree of the puppet Qing court will never be able to buy the commander-in-chief.

Joke! Even if it's a betrayal. I can't sell you a street rat.

"Haha...... Ha ha. ”

The commander-in-chief laughed dryly. The atmosphere at the scene became even more eerie.

"I have something to say. Why are you smashing a teacup? This teacup is still the official kiln porcelain of the Governor's Yamen. ”

Zhao Bei snorted. Ordered the guards to clean up the broken porcelain pieces on them. Then walk forward. He took the secret decree from Jilu's hand. I opened it and looked at it.

"It's a good calligraphy. Whose handwriting? Presumably Hanchen's handiwork. It's a pity. You Kiyomu understands it too well. If you had been constitutionalized decades earlier. There may be a silver lining. In that year, the "Wuxu Reform Law". If you can go with the flow. How did they get to where they are now? It's a pity that you're done clearing the room. It's a pity that it has affected the country. ”

Zhao Bei shook his head as he spoke. Fold the secret decree. Packed into the pockets of military uniforms. Then he said to Jilu: "You don't have to kneel either. Even if all of you members of the Manchu royal family kneel before me. I will never agree to a constitutional monarchy by you. You'd better put away your wishful thinking. Honestly arrange the abdication and relinquishment of the country. ”

Ruan Zhongshu's hanging heart relaxed. looked at Liu Yi. Seeing him, he also had a relieved expression.

Yang Du was also startled by the sudden secret decree just now. At this point, the mind is settled. So he stepped forward and said, "Commander-in-chief." What is the difference between a man being an emperor and a Han being an emperor? The Qing room has also sat in the world for more than 200 years. The hundred-legged insect dies but does not stiffen. If you talk about the people - what you want ......"

"Skinny. You don't have to say it. Even if the Manchu court gave me half of the country. I'm not going to change my mind. Popular Hearts? The people's hearts have long been dispersed by the "Horse Treaty" and the "Xinchou Treaty". The Manchu dynasty had long since fallen. Now there are no emperors in the Forbidden City. There is only one puppet under the control of foreigners. ”

Zhao Bei unceremoniously interrupted Yang Du's words. Take a few steps back. I sat back in my chair for a long time. Seeing Jilu kneeling on his feet in a daze. So he said slowly: "Jilu." Anyway, you can be regarded as an envoy of the Qing Chamber. It is the image of the room that is represented. He kept kneeling. Seems very inappropriate. ”

Jilu sighed secretly. Stood up helplessly. I remembered the advice of Prince Qing and the regent before leaving. Suspiciously, he asked, "Dare to ask Lord Governor." If the Qing family agrees to give up the country. The republican government gave preferential treatment to the Qing room. So. What are the conditions? How much money do you pay per year? Can you keep the Hu slave? Where do you live? It is the nobles of the clan who are excellent. Or is it only the royal family that has preferential treatment? Where should the flag man go? ”

Zhao Bei said: "This is still the north-south meeting and the meeting to discuss. Of course. This preferential condition must be agreed upon by all the revolutionary forces, including the regency of the North. Otherwise. Untenable. In fact. We're here today. It's a secret meeting. There is no need to let unrelated people know. About my "Pilot Republic Proposal." I will raise it shortly to the Parliamentary Council. There is also a proposal to abdicate the Qing room. ”

There was a pause. And he said, "But I'm ahead of that." The flag man privilege must be abolished in its entirety. Flag people must learn to support themselves. As for the abdicated Qing royal family. Financially advantageous. But no privileges can be reserved politically. This is the premise. Otherwise. Don't talk about preferential conditions. Abdicated and gave way to the commoners. Since then. The "Qing Empire" became a thing of the past. No one can afford to hope for restoration. ”

Yang Du walked back to Ruan Zhongshu's side. said: "Dou Zhan." It seems that the Commander-in-Chief Republic has made up his mind. Let's go. ”

Ruan Zhongshu looked at Yang Duyi. Bow your head and groan for a moment. Look at Zhao Bei. "It seems that the commander-in-chief has made up his mind to establish the republic. Nothing seems to have changed? ”

As Yuan Shikai's staff. Ruan Zhongshu is well aware of Yuan Shikai's current difficult situation. On the surface, Yuan Shikai is majestic. But on the other hand, it is angry at both ends. On one side is the "national thief" in the mouth of the flag man. On one side is the "old Manchu minister" in the eyes of the revolutionary party. If Yuan Shikai can't clarify his position as soon as possible. So. Maybe it will become a public enemy. The Manchu secret just now shows. In order to maintain imperial power. The Qing court has gone crazy to the extreme. If the national system is not established. No one knows what other tricks the Qing court will use.

Now the commander-in-chief has proposed preferential treatment of the abdicated royal family. So will Regent Yuan accept the offer? Ruan Zhongshu had no bottom in his heart. The rhetoric I had just thought of is completely useless now.

Zhao Bei smiled faintly. said: "It's just my wishful thinking. Actually, it is not harmonious. Only on one person. ”

"Who?" Although the people had already guessed who the man was. But I still can't help but ask.

"Of course it's Yuan Gong. The Manchu court was in the hands of the public. When will the Qing family abdicate and give way to the country. In what way to give the country. It's really only in Yuan Gong's thoughts. North said word by word.

"I said it. As long as the republic stands. Yuan Gong was the first commander of the Republic. This oath can be seen by the sun and the moon. Heaven is proof. Never break your word! Fail to keep the faith. Why do you command the world? Let's do revolution. The words spoken were thrown loudly. Never take it back! ”
