When Song Xiaofei heard Rong Hong say that all people are born free and equal as stipulated in the US Constitution and the hierarchical and inferior order of Confucius, he made up his mind to build a new world!

Liang Qichao stood up at this time and said: "Everyone is equal, Hong Xiuquan and Kang Youwei have also proposed it, will it be just a utopia?" ”

Rong Hong said: "The equality of all people guaranteed by the Constitution is different from the equality of all people shouted by the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, which refers to legal equality, not economic equality!" Everyone is equal, then everyone is like the Taiping Army, and they will become poor! As long as the government guarantees the relative independence of the legislative, executive, and judicial powers, and checks and balances each other, so that the authority of the law can be maintained, and everyone can be equal in law! ”

Song Xiaofei said: "I think China's imperial examination system and supervision system is a good thing, the imperial examination system is the most fair, officials are selected through examinations, Zhongtang is the master of the imperial examination, but in the future, it will be changed to a national examination, the content does not need eight shares, you can examine new knowledge." The supervision system can also play a certain role, thinking that back then, Zhang Peilun participated in the overthrow of more than 20 high-ranking officials such as the Ministry of Household Affairs and the Ministry of Impeachment of the Ministry of Officials, which is commendable, and also has a deterrent effect on corrupt officials! ”

Rong Hong said: "In the United States, the power of examination is attached to the executive power, and the power of impeachment is attached to the legislative power. ”

Song Xiaofei nodded when he heard this, thinking in his heart, in fact, if the separation of powers is not operated well, it will also cause democratic turmoil, but now the Manchu court is still there. The country has not yet been reunited, and it is not yet time to think about it.

Rong Hong said, "Having solved the democratic problem of separation of powers, I think China now has to solve two major problems: nationality and people's livelihood. ”

Song Xiaofei said: "The national problem is to expel the Tatars and drive out the Manchus? ”

Rong Hong said: "No, the expulsion of the Tatars is a national ideology in a narrow sense, and there are 56 ethnic groups in China. It is all our Chinese nation, and in my opinion, the main thing is to fight for national independence and abolish the unequal treaties signed by the Qing Dynasty with the foreign powers. ”

Song Xiaofei said: "Having said that, the top priority at the moment is to take the opportunity to overthrow the Manchu Qing Dynasty and maintain national unity. When the time comes, we will discuss whether to promote people's livelihood or democracy first! ”

Duan Qirui, Feng Guozhang, Wang Shizhen, Liu Buyun, Deng Shichang and others didn't talk much, and Song Xiaofei asked their opinions.

Feng Guozhang said: "Big brother, you are in charge." We are all soldiers, and we will fight wherever you point, and there is no other thing to say. ”

Song Xiaofei said: "It's okay for you to say it. ”

Duan Qirui only made a statement at this time, and said: "I just listened to Mr. Rong's words, and I also think it is very beneficial, the road really has to be taken step by step, you can try it first, and establish a federal republic first, so that Zhang Zhidong and Liu Kunyi will not have much opinion." ”

Liu Buyun and Deng Shichang also agreed. Song Xiaofei had a bottom in his heart at this time, and he went to find Li Hongzhang the next day. expressed his attitude and wanted to persuade Li Hongzhang to accept the federal republic.

Li Hongzhang said: "The old man is considering whether to welcome the new emperor back to Beijing. ”

Song Xiaofei said: "The teacher must not. If the teacher did not invite Zhang Zhidong and Liu Kunyi to Tianjin to discuss the country, it is possible to welcome back to the new monarch, and now, the teacher and the foreigner have successfully negotiated and the merit is high, once Prince Gong returns to Beijing to govern. The first thing he wanted to move away from was the stumbling block of his mentor. ”

Li Hongzhang said: "At the beginning, the old man's mentor, Zeng Wenzhenggong captured Tianjing, and there were 100,000 Hunan troops and 60,000 Huai troops, all equipped with foreign guns and cannons, and some people persuaded him to establish himself as the king. ”

Song Xiaofei said: "At this time and that time, now the Empress Dowager Cixi is doing her own evil, she can't live, causing a catastrophe to foreigners, our 30,000,000 Han people in the world are like being locked up in an iron house, the teacher can try the federal republic, break the shackles of the iron house, implement constitutionalism, and create peace for all generations!" Over the years. Due to the weakness of the Manchu government and the mediocrity of the bureaucracy, how much land did we China cede and how much did we lose? The Westernization Movement of the Mentor has only been built for hundreds of miles! Mentor don't you see Japan, just a year or two after the promulgation of the constitution, the national strength has immediately improved, such a small island country, the railway is more than 1,000 miles. Even if Prince Gong returns to Beijing, he will still use us, but our hands and feet will definitely be bound by iron chains, and in the end, if China is destroyed by the hands of the Japanese Japanese, we will also be infamous through the ages! ”

Li Hongzhang said: "There are now 60,000 banner troops in the Jiangnan camp, and Liu Kun, the governor of Liangjiang, sent a telegram saying that the banner army has received an order to take over the city of Nanjing. Now that Prince Gong controls Manchuria, Shaanxi, Shanxi, and Sichuan, and we stand on our own, it is inevitable that there will be a civil war, and as soon as the great powers intervene, the country will inevitably be in turmoil. ”

Song Xiaofei patted his chest and said: "Because of this, we should propose the establishment of a republic, which is the tide of the world, and the British and American ministers to China have expressed their support for the establishment of a republic." Students can take the students of the Beiyang Military Academy and the New Army as the backbone to organize the National Revolutionary Army of the Republic, and the students now have 20,000 new troops under their commands, and in North Korea, the students have also asked Tang Shaoyi, Zhang Jian, and others to hire German instructors over the years, and have trained 20,000 new troops, and in Taiwan and the Ryukyus, Liu Ming has trained 20,000 new soldiers, so the Huai Army now has 60,000 new troops, and within 10 days, the students will break through the 60,000 Qing troops in the Jiangnan camp. Shaanxi and Shanxi occupy the majority of our Han people, as long as the teacher raises the banner of anti-Qing, the students will inevitably take Shaanxi and Shanxi within a month, and at the same time, Liu Mingchuan can lead the troops to capture Sichuan. When the time comes, I will join forces with him, and then let Zhang Jian send troops from Korea to attack Manchuria, and within three months, Manchuria will definitely be taken. A quick victory, so that by the time the foreigners are clamoring in the parliament, we will have pacified China. ”

Li Hongzhang said: "You and the third province also trained recruits in North Korea and Taiwan? How could the old man not know? ”

Song Xiaofei said: "The main purpose of the students was to train recruits to deal with the Japanese. ”

Li Hongzhang said: "The war is about money, how to raise funds? ”

Song Xiaofei said: "The treasures dug up by Duan Qirui in the palace are worth 100 million taels of silver, in addition, students can go to Shanghai, Nanyang and other places to raise funds, and most of the expatriates and businessmen support the republic." If the money is not enough, I will find Xi Zhengfu and a foreign bank to borrow, if in the future, our country's financial income is 90 million taels of silver per year, and we don't need to spend half of it to support the royal family and nobles of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and we will soon be able to pay off the loan! When the time comes, we can learn from the United States, step by step, first drive out the Manchus, form a federal republic, and then discuss the formulation of a constitution. ”

Li Hongzhang stopped talking, and after a long time, he spoke: "Now that the matter is now, I have no choice but to raise troops against the Qing Dynasty!" I will hand over the Beiyang Naval Division and the Huai Army to you to command, and you will immediately lead the new army to support Liu Kunyi, the governor of Liangjiang, whose Nanjing city is almost impossible to hold, and I heard that the 60,000 banner army has captured the small city near Nanjing and began to slaughter the Han people! ”
