To encourage more people to follow you, idealism is not enough, you have to come up with more bread and butter.

Most of the survival wisdom inherited by the Chinese people for thousands of years is not to see rabbits and not to scatter eagles. Don't say that they are small-scale farmers and citizens, but most of the people who say this have never been hungry and have no worries about eating and drinking. The so-called "people take food as the sky" is a wise saying.

On the one hand, Yang Hao used Guò Yan Fu and others to preach the theory of progress, in order to influence those who were well-fed and warm-clothed. On the other hand, they have opened factories on a large scale, set up an eight-level labor system, and created countless jobs, which is the realistic goal of bread and butter.

In the case that both aspects can be satisfied, it may not be possible to put it in the whole country, but in Beijing and Tianjin and some surrounding places that have entered the actual operation, his influence has long exceeded that of the imperial court that does not do personnel.

The common people of Tianjin may not quite understand the significance of defeating the Japanese army, but they know that without the Yang family, the rice bowl that has been served will be smashed. In these years, the concept of serving whoever eats is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and there is no need for too many appeals, and naturally countless people have spontaneously and consciously rushed to protect the safety of the concession.

A group of scholars in the Wenting style have despised the power of the people since ancient times. I feel that they are ignorant and cowardly, and as long as they put the hat of righteousness of the monarch and minister, they can be deterred.

It's just that the Qingliu people have probably forgotten that every time there has been a change of dynasty since ancient times, which time is the middle force not the peasants they look down on? Which successful person did not meet the basic survival needs of the peasants?

The landlords and merchants, who could directly influence the people at the bottom, were stuck in the middle of the communication below the upper class of the scholars. They have played the role of profiteers since ancient times, as well as an intermediate force influencing the final outcome.

In the Eastern Han Dynasty. This force assisted Liu Xiu Zhongxing to succeed, thus forming a new gate valve. At the end of the Han Dynasty. It was also they who supported the princes of all walks of life to fight each other and finally decide the winner. In the Ming Dynasty. With the help of the rules set by Zhu Yuanzhang, the Qingliushi clan skillfully integrated the landlords and merchants, thus emptying the imperial court and becoming an important force in the demise of the dynasty.

But today, the Qingliu people can't come up with anything that can attract the landlord and merchant class. On the contrary, it was Yang Hao who attracted the powerful forces in the north with a lure. Let's ask, how can such a powerful system that kidnaps the people at the bottom, the middle commercial capital, and many young students at the top be shaken casually by a bunch of delusional people who play tricks?

Wen Tingshi obviously couldn't figure it out, and he looked around at the steady stream of people with righteous indignation on his face. Infinite disappointment in my heart.

Returning to the British Concession in a gloomy manner, his face was purple with anger and trembling. Trembling rage: "Ridiculous! Ridiculous! These ignorant Diao people don't understand the court's good intentions at all! Do they still have the royal law in their hearts, and do they still have the emperor? ”

The people next to him were just as angry: "You have to blame the person surnamed Yang, who is used to fooling the world with clever words." This fang must not be kept, it should be killed, it should be killed! ”

"But there are so many ignorant and foolish people who bewitch him. Unwilling to obey the righteousness of the imperial court, if you want to take this place lightly, it is extremely difficult! ”

"What about Li Hongzhang? There was a huge commotion here, and he dared to hide in the yamen and be invisible? It's just unreasonable. Damn it! ”

…… At this time, they remembered that Li Hongzhang was coming. But not long ago, they wrote a letter to behead Li Hongzhang to thank the world. So, don't look at a group of clear streams who seem to be very smart on weekdays. Serious things come to the top of the eye, the master is low. No wonder Li Hongzhang looks down on them at all.

The nails clenched by Wen Ting's fist cut the palms, and he still snorted coldly, "Let them be happy for a while." Let's wait for Governor Li of Shandong to level the Yang family's lair and see what confidence they still have! ”

"Yes, yes, yes. There are concession foreigners here, and there are many inconveniences. That Shandong is strong and strong, and the heavenly soldiers are everywhere, and the stubborn enemy will inevitably disintegrate! ”

cheered each other on one by one, and all hopes were pinned on Li Bingheng, who was thousands of miles away.

Li Bingheng was indeed moved by Kang Youwei's words. Or in fact, the governor himself wants to find an opportunity to exterminate the Yang clan and create a complete stability and prosperity for his rule. Now that he has a reason, he did not hesitate to send Zhang Gaoyuan's 3,000 soldiers and horses back, and the order was to speed up the horses and whip the starry night, and be sure to eradicate the Yang clan in one fell swoop with lightning speed.

But he couldn't have imagined that Zhang Gaoyuan agreed very happily, and the speed of pulling out the camp was not slow. However, after the troops drove out of Laizhou, they walked less than 20 miles in a day, and when it was dark in the afternoon, they ordered them to camp and rest.

Kang Youwei, who was ordered to follow the supervision of the killing operation, was not happy, and rushed into the camp to urge him to march, Zhang Gaoyuan glared and scolded: "Those who seek profit for a hundred miles will step on the general, and those who seek profit for fifty miles will reach half of the army." This is the art of war, do you know or do I understand? ”

Kang Youwei is also familiar with military books, and immediately retorted: "It was a war outside the state, but now it is to kill traitors, how can it be the same day?" Zhang Zongbing is delaying so much, I'm afraid it is not related to the rebellion of the Yang family? ”

These words are really heart-wrenching. At present, everyone knows that Yang Hao has built a large project in Qingdao, and many goods have also landed from there. But the joint of this matter is on Li Hongzhang, and Zhang Gaoyuan just obeys orders. Besides, collusion between officials and businessmen is a well-known rule, but it can be done but cannot be said.

Kang Youwei is very arrogant, thinking that he has mastered the great principles of the world and can kidnap everyone by occupying the moral high ground, and he will say whatever he wants.

Zhang Gaoyuan's face darkened, and he pointed to the outside of the camp and scolded: "Come on, fork out this nonsense bastard!" ”

Kang Youwei suddenly changed color, and shouted with a stalk around his neck: "You dare? I am ......! ”

The soldiers rushed up and slammed a scabbard on his face: "You are paralyzed!" The white body, who has no fame at all, dares to compare with our military doors, and is also a scholar, and he doesn't understand any politeness, I'm bah! ”

Punches and kicks kicked him out.

Kang Youwei's bloody face was bleeding, and his braids were cut off in half by a bad guy, and his cloak was thrown out of the barracks like a madman, and all the soldiers laughed unbridledly.

"This vendetta...... This enmity is not shared! Zhang Gaoyuan, I'm not done with you! ”

He staggered to his feet, stubborn and stubborn in his chest. Stubbornly turned his head to Yantai. He wants to sue, and he wants to beat this group of coarse and rebellious vulgar martial artists to death with a stick!

After kicking people out. Zhang Gaoyuan shouted behind him: "Bastard boy, are you satisfied this time?" ”

His son Zhang Zhongxing turned out with a smile on his face. Thumbs up and praised: "Father is really wise and martial, so lightly he took out that nasty thing." ”

Zhang Gaoyuan snorted angrily: "Do you know that in this way, you have offended several big people in the court?" The pens in the hands of those sour and rotten civil officials are meaner and more vicious than knives! Bastard, if you hadn't been too deeply involved with the Yang family, why would I take such a big risk, Dad? ”

Zhang Zhongxing came up very dogged to help beat his shoulder.

Zhang Gaoyuan smiled bitterly in his heart, he was helpless to do this. Speaking of which, he is also a rare incorruptible military attache in this era, and he basically does not eat empty salaries if he does not drink the blood of soldiers. The generous salary is often used by him to supplement the people below, and tens of thousands of taels have been spent over the past few decades. Therefore, it can be unanimously supported.

But in this way, it is inevitable to treat the family badly. Yang Hao's kid is bad, and when he comes up, he makes people have a relationship with Zhang Zhongxing, and even gives him shares in an industry as big as Qingdao, and gives him the huge profits of foreign goods that are transported to the surrounding states and counties through Guò. This is not a criminal business, and Zhang Zhongxing quickly entered the trap.

Now that Yang Hao has achieved the momentum, he can stir up a storm with his hands, and Zhang Gaoyuan also understands the situation, of course he will not be the praying mantis that stops the car. Besides, he also agrees with Yang Hao's national righteousness. The definition of the duties of soldiers also hopes that after a hundred years, they can leave a good reputation for fighting for the country.

Li Bingheng asked him to exterminate the Yang family, but he couldn't force it. But how to do it exactly. Then it depends on whether he likes it or not.

Kang Youwei believed that he had the sword of Shang Fang, but he forgot that he had not yet been admitted to the Jinshi. A white body also wants to shout at the dignified second-grade general, purely looking ugly.

Zhang Zhongxing slapped his father's shoulder. While grinning, he said, "Dad, can't you see the situation now?" The sky is about to change. We can't be the filial sons of loyal ministers. People Li Hongzhang and Li Zhongtang are not mixed with the muddy water, why do you bother to bother? Drag it slowly. When the war in Liaodong is over, it is not too late to make a decision. ”

Zhang Gaoyuan glared at him horizontally: "Lao Tzu still needs you to teach?" ”

Don't look at him being controlled by Li Bingheng, but the root is in Li Hongzhang. Li Bingheng wanted to move him, but it was not so easy.

What's more, he has also seen the advantages and disadvantages of the Yang army, there are guns, cannons and warships, and with his 3,000 soldiers going immediately, it is simply an egg hitting a stone.

The Qingliu officials in the imperial court didn't know what to do, thinking that Yang Hao had gone out with three thousand regular soldiers, and the nest was empty. Zhang Gaoyuan knew that the thousands of people working in Qingdao alone could easily overturn his troops by picking up guns. Today's imperial court has no way to deal with the Yang family.

So this time, he was playing soy sauce at all. When the Liaodong War was won and lost, Yang Hao won, and he sold favors. If Yang Hao loses, then he will fall into the well and take the opportunity to snatch the benefits. We must not do a loss-making business.

On 9 November, the time limit left by the British and American envoys to the Qing court had expired, and the American concession was unharmed. The Qing soldiers led by Delin came out in too much of a hurry, and when they were about to bury the pot and cook at night, they found that they couldn't buy anything when they went out! In the entire Tianjin Wei, no one even sold them a mouthful of water, but the eyes and spitting all over the ground.

And a large group of high-ranking officials in the capital who were waiting for the news, when they learned that Zhang Gaoyuan drove away Kang Youwei, they only walked twenty miles in one day and one night, and they almost vomited blood when they got angry!

Li Hongzao couldn't put on a posture of sitting firmly in the military tent this time, and in the face of the thunderous anger of Emperor Guangxu, he took off his crown tremblingly: "If the emperor wants to blame, let the old minister bear the responsibility." No matter what the outside world says, the center of our waiting for us can be seen every day, as clear as the sun and the moon! ”

Emperor Guangxu was angry and burning.

In the news of the "National News" on the same day, Yan Fu personally drafted an article to strictly hold accountable the decision-making of the imperial court, the soldiers in front are fighting for the country, and you are creating reasons to steal people's property in the back, isn't this to make the people with lofty ideals who have the heart to serve the country chill?

It is said that the Yang family has a heart of disobedience, where is the evidence? Can people say a reverse word from beginning to end?

Yes, between Yang Hao's words and deeds, he never explicitly said that the rule of the Manchu Qing was Zhengshuo, but so what? How many people in the world are really convinced? Everyone is vague about this, and anyone can get by with their faces. It's better for you to directly uncover the fig leaf, which is to force people to rebel.

Everyone knows that the Manchu Qing Dynasty is a little careful, and they can't see that the Han family has a hero, for fear of overturning their plates. It's just that the Manchurians do it themselves, Li Hongzao and Weng are all serious Han officials, and most of the Qingliu officials in a group are also Han people, but they do such a thing, is there any shame in the end!

Yan Fu didn't say it so clearly, but he couldn't prevent the flooding of illegal tabloids on the streets and alleys, and bluntly pointed out this fatal problem.

Manchu and Han are in trouble!

Emperor Guangxu was most afraid of the Manchu and Han disputes in the world. Once someone used this incident as an excuse to publicize the sinister intentions of the Qing court, it would inevitably cause unprecedented and fierce turmoil. At that time, the unlucky ones will not be a group of civil officials who are loyal to him, but it may be another rebellion no less than that of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom!

Today's governors of all provinces in the world are mostly Han officials. If they have the sad idea of the rabbit dying and the fox because of the Yang family, and when the time comes, will there be a place for millions of Manchurians? (To be continued......)
