Thousands of factories can not meet the needs of large-scale construction in Guangdong, a large number of factories are under construction or expansion, the previous concern that the uprising will cause unsalable goods has proved to be unnecessary, Wu Shimin, Medone and others are not in a hurry, their industry coverage is getting wider and wider, every money-making industry they want to participate, and after participating in it, they will definitely make money, and now is the stage of large-scale expansion. It turns out that following the Zhenguo Party is indeed a good move, and those who originally resisted now regret that their bowels are green, and they have been artificially set a threshold, and they need to pay a much greater price than Meddragon and others.
The provisional government was caught off guard by various civil and criminal cases that appeared soon after the occupation of the whole province, and the laws of the former Qing Dynasty were no longer applicable, and now there are no laws and regulations that can be referred to, and the police departments in various places need laws to enforce the law, court judgments need laws, and people's behavior also needs to be constrained by the law, and it is urgent to formulate perfect laws and regulations.
On September 1, 1901, the Provisional Constitution of the Provisional Government of Guangdong was promulgated, which was a constitutional statute. The Constitution stipulates the nature, the system and organizational structure of the Provisional Government, the rights and duties of the people, the tasks and long-term goals of the Government at the present stage, the definition and understanding of the bourgeois revolution in detail, and the revolutionary organizations should join hands and work together. It is particularly noteworthy that the statute clearly states that the private property of individuals is sacrosanct!
Under the guidance of the Provisional Covenant Law, in 1901 the Criminal Code, the Civil Code, the Civil Service Law, the National Unity Law, and the Marriage Law were passed and promulgated one by one. There are many things that are unacceptable to people in this era in these later styles, such as the marriage law, which stipulates that the marriage system of freedom of marriage, monogamy, and equality between men and women is implemented; prohibiting arranged marriages, buying and selling marriages and other acts that interfere with the freedom of marriage; It is forbidden to solicit money or property under the pretext of marriage. I can't bear it, monogamy, what should I do with Lao Tzu's two concubines? The prohibition of arranged arrangements has always been the order of parents and the words of matchmakers, and marriage must be decided by parents! There is also equality between men and women, Lao Tzu is beating his wife, what's the matter, his wife will beat if she wants, and scold if she wants, no one can care!
Laws have been introduced, but there are still many things that can not be changed in a day or two, only by first introducing standards, and then slowly changing people's concepts. It is impossible to do it in one step, for example, which family does not want a bride price when getting married in the future? How many of the tens of millions of single dogs can't get married because the family can't afford a huge bride price?
Some things can only be changed slowly, but there are some things that Lu Liang can't bear. The Provisional Government issued a ban on alcohol, prohibiting public servants from drinking alcohol on weekdays, and if found to be guilty of dereliction of duty, the case was handed over to the judicial authorities in serious cases. In his previous life, he hated drinking, and of course, it was also possible that his small alcohol consumption was caused by his disgust, but in short, the prohibition was forcibly passed. A large number of genetic people working at the grassroots level have played a supervisory role, and more than 700 violations of the law have been investigated and dealt with in a month's time, and the grassroots work has even fallen into a state of semi-paralysis. You must know that there are many ordinary people at the grassroots level, they come from intellectuals, children of wealthy gentry, family members and so on recruited by the provisional government, especially the police force, most of the grassroots police are family gunmen from big families, they are restless, they are big violators, in order to forcibly implement the prohibition of alcohol, Lu Liang had to mobilize a part of the army to maintain law and order in the local area.
The new dynasty and the new atmosphere, the Provisional Government held the military and administrative power, and had the support of the bourgeoisie, the big landlords, and the peasant workers, and its foundation was unshakable, and some of the people whose interests were damaged, such as those of the comprador class, held many secret meetings, but could not find a way to deal with this situation. The Provisional Government took a cold approach to the comprador class and ignored it, and this is the greatest punishment! In the face of so many opportunities to make money, they can't ask for it, isn't this a punishment? Reflecting upward, those foreign masters have no choice!
On October 24, 1901, at Wusong Wharf in Shanghai, Bai Zhai was standing on the deck of a cruise ship and watching, and his classmate and friend Chen Sicheng was silent holding on to the railing. Bai Zhai contacted more than a dozen classmates in Beijing and agreed to go to Guangdong together, and they boarded a British cruise ship in Tianjin.
The cruise ship made a short stop in Shanghai, picked up another group of passengers and continued south. "Brother Bai, it's time for dinner, let's go to the restaurant!"
"Brother Chen, this situation makes me have no appetite to eat, and I can't wait to arrive in Guangzhou immediately! Besides, after passing through a lot of foreigners in first- and second-class restaurants, I get angry when I see them, the country is poor and weak, we can only eat in third-class restaurants, shame is everywhere! After all, the two of them went down to the third-class restaurant to eat after meeting with their friends, and everyone at the dinner table still kept talking, telling about their disappointment with the country and their anger at the foreign powers, as well as their expectations for the revolution in Guangdong.
A middle-aged man at the next table stopped to eat, lit a cigarette and looked at these young people thoughtfully, nodding slightly from time to time, as if in agreement, his eyes were full of determination and hope. Finally, after everyone said that the imperial court signed a traitorous treaty with foreigners, they couldn't help but interject: "The country is difficult, it is the time when we are waiting to throw our heads and spill blood, after the Xinchou Treaty, the Chinese people are completely desperate for the imperial court, and the revolution is at the right time!" ”
This person's words aroused the favor of the young man, and he was about to reply, when a young man at the other table had already heard it with red cheeks, he slammed the table and shouted, "Well said! ”
The restaurant, which brought together a large group of like-minded people, seemed to have turned into a political rally to denounce the Manchus and save the people and strengthen the country.
"Contemptible Zhang Taiyan, this time I came back from Japan just to see the Guangzhou Revolution."
"I know Mr. Zhang, you participated in the Reform Movement, and I have read many of the articles you published." Bai Zhai suddenly had the feeling of seeing an idol, he just yearned for the revolution, but Mr. Zhang was already wanted by the Manchu Qing because of the revolution, and he can be said to be a revolutionary senior. Everyone immediately respected Zhang Taiyan, a native of Yuhang, Zhejiang, who was a writer for the "Shiwu Bao" in the 23rd year of Guangxu, was wanted for participating in the Reform Movement and went into exile in Japan. During his stay in Japan, he opposed the New Movement, discussed with his friends how to save the country and the people, and constantly studied the road to the rise of Western countries, trying to find a revolutionary road suitable for China. After hearing the news of the victory of the revolutionary uprising in Guangzhou, he inquired in many ways and finally decided to go to Guangzhou in person.
"Mr. Zhang, the contemptible Zhou Shuren, this is the younger brother Zhou Zuoren, we are studying in Shanghai. What is Mr. Zhang's view on the Cantonese Revolution? The young man named Zhou Shuren asked, Zhou Shuren originally studied mining in Shanghai Jiangnan Lushi School, and his mind was active, and after hearing about the incident in Guangzhou, he asked his younger brother Zhou Zuoren to go to Guangzhou together, hoping to find a way to save the country and the people there.
Everyone was very interested in this question, and the Canton Revolution made everyone's blood boil, but they were strange to him. Zhang Taiyan looked at the expectant eyes of the young people, pondered for a while and said, "I don't know much about that side, so let's tell me what I know." First of all, the revolution needs a strong organization, just like the Zhenguo Party, which is tightly organized, has clear goals, and has the same philosophy, and its members share common goals and beliefs, which is the most important point. Secondly, it has been proved that peaceful reform cannot save China, the Manchu Qing will not take the initiative to give up the power in their hands, and the revolution is to overthrow the rotten rule through violence, the Guangzhou Provisional Government is the power obtained through armed uprising, and many overseas revolutionary organizations are also constantly trying to launch armed uprisings, I heard that the Guangzhou Provisional Government has an army of tens of thousands of people, advanced weapons, which other organizations cannot do, and it is also the most confusing place for me. Thirdly, the revolutionary movement must win the hearts and minds of the people, and only true patriots can unite the hearts and minds of the people and win the final victory. Zhang Taiyan's words made everyone pause, but there was one thing that Zhang Taiyan didn't realize, that is, patriotism is a necessary condition, but if you want to maximize your strength, you must use the combination of interests. If there were no interests, how could those workers, peasants, bourgeoisie, landlords, etc., willingly follow Lu Liang on the road of rebellion? After all, the number of truly civilized elites is too small to succeed on their own, which is one of the reasons why the revolution in history was incomplete.
