Chapter 386 Guangxu abdicated, and Jin merchants surrendered

PS: See the exclusive story behind "Liding 1894", listen to your more suggestions for the novel, pay attention to the starting point Chinese network public account (WeChat add friends - add public account - enter ddxiaoshuo), quietly tell me!

Yang Hao did not appear in the queue to enter Beijing as he claimed, which made the old and young masters in the capital who were looking forward to it both a little disappointed and a sense of relief.

disappointed, naturally lost the opportunity to personally welcome a rapidly rising new emperor, or leader, failed to get the light of the founding supreme, and all the calculations that I had thought about before to climb the dragon and the phoenix were all gone.

He was relieved to be unsure of whether the revolutionary junta would be able to carry out its program and policies.

After all, the previous revolutionary army was only a corner of the country, full of calculations and control of the ground in several provinces, and it is still in full swing to promote earth-shaking reforms, and it is unknown whether it will bring real benefits to the entire people after completion, and whether it can maintain positive development for a long time.

This is like many changes and innovations in history, even if he is as wise and intelligent as Wang Mang, as talented as Wang Anshi, and powerful as Zhang Juzheng, is it still the same as giving up halfway, and people are dying?

The changes promoted by Yang Hao are much more thorough than any change in thousands of years. That is to change the entire nation from the basic daily life to the level of culture and ideology! According to the summary and analysis of some high-ranking people who have always paid attention to and collected publicly released information, if such changes are successful, the people of China will be reborn and create an enlightened and prosperous era that has never been seen in the ages.

But the difficulties are equally difficult to describe. From the top, it is necessary to let the officials, who have been accustomed to being the "parents" of the people for thousands of years, bend over as public servants; It is necessary to let the scholars from the Qin and Han dynasties to change from the infinite pursuit of the ideal route of becoming an official to the pragmatic operation of integrating knowledge and action and applying what they have learned. It wasn't your average hardship.

People originally expected to get ahead in the study department. Then he became an official and made a fortune. Those who are waiting for others to kowtow to them for gifts and ask for help now have to work all day according to the needs of tens of millions of untouchables, and they also have to accept the supervision of public opinion and the masses, and they have to judge the ...... of gains and losses every year according to the unified assessment items.

I don't have time to do elegant things like playing with small feet and raising children, what is the fun of this Nima being an official!

If you want to be a master who is hidden in the city, it is not so simple. You can point out the words and criticize the gains and losses of the government, but you must be responsible for what you say. Once it caused rumors that were unfavorable to the government and the masses. I'm sorry, let's go to court.

It's not that you don't have the opportunity to speak, you can write articles and publish them in newspapers to express your opinions, but whether or not what you say can be published depends on the results of other people's review. Want to write your own article and book to trigger? Then you have to go through the permission of the guò press and publication management agency first, and without legal procedures such as book numbers, you will be an illegal publication, which will be banned, and the illegal gains will be confiscated and fined!

You said I couldn't get a book. It's always okay to open a school at home and get some students to teach, right? Well, private academic oral teaching. Mentorship is possible, and the certified professional skills are also protected by the patent protection law to ensure everyone's rights and interests.

However, the prerequisite is that no matter how good your students are in private school, they must also have an official academic certificate issued by the education department, plus a certificate from a vocational qualification certification agency, in order to find a job. Otherwise, it will be extremely difficult to eat with a mouthful of food!

All kinds of practices have completely blocked the way in the past where you can talk nonsense when you become a showman.

It was not that the upper echelons of Shilin did not want to resist, they also wanted to follow the previous path, relying on their hegemony over the interpretation of texts and teaching scholarship to join forces to force the emperor to bow his head and cooperate.

But now here in Yang Hao, it doesn't work at all! What if all of you don't come to be teachers? I just put up the radio and anyone can hear the teachings of the top masters directly. Literacy classes have expanded exponentially, and even if the literacy is taught 800 common words at a rate once a year, it will be able to cover the whole country in ten years! Hundreds of millions of grassroots people are reading and reading, and there are more enlightened lectures and teachings from countless masters in the world.

The rest depends on the management and governance of the grassroots. Originally, this was the inherent territory of scholars, and the tricks were passed on to the door, which could not be mixed in by outsiders.

But when he came to Yang Hao, Tong Guò gathered all the officials into a formal cadre establishment, served the jobs of officials, carried out meticulous division of labor and cooperation, and the structure of authority was thorough and tight, and only a prefect who did not take the initiative to toss blindly was needed to ensure the normal operation of a county, a state and even a province.

Especially in the current stage of comprehensive change, the military government and the revolutionary party are able to faithfully convey Yang Hao's will and implement the decisions made at the highest level, and there is no room for local temporary officials to act arbitrarily.

And the grassroots people who were mobilized by the bright prospects all became Yang Hao's accomplices. With a hundredfold mass united against the one percent of the gentry, the victory or defeat was clear.

The official gentry class is not without a chance to fight back, and there are even several.

One is the rapid expansion of the revolutionary army, and the governors of the provinces will change their courts. But the military government and the revolutionary party, which had only been built up in two years, had to rely on the old bureaucratic system to control local governance. In this way, they can work together to disobey the yang and the yin, and wear off the initial momentum little by little.

Chinese officials are well aware that any new policy is a one-shot policy, a one-time failure, and a three-time exhaustion.

No matter how eloquent and strategic you Yang Hao is, even if you are as domineering as Emperor Qin and Han Wu, and as wise as Tang Zong and Song Zu, you still can't escape this law. As long as we withstand the most ferocious wave in the early days, the huge inertia accumulated over thousands of years will still counterattack and restore the old view.

But Yang Hao didn't give them this opportunity, even if he could overthrow the rule of the Qing court casually, he steadily advanced little by little in Beizhili. Wherever the junta passed, there was not even a single corner of the countryside. With hundreds of millions of dollars invested at every turn, everyone who watched it was shocked and distressed. But the effect is just as obvious. Near-limitless investment. It brings about the rebirth of the whole place. The approval rate of 90% of the people has completely deprived the remnants of the hopeful and aggrieved forces to fight back.

Then came this year's offensive operation, the whole country stared and waited for Yang Hao to make a mistake, and as a result, he stabbed the vast and sparsely populated northeast! Not only did he end the retreat of the Manchu Qing Dynasty and won the praise of the people of the whole country, but he also took advantage of the situation to resettle the most severe landless refugee forces in the north. On the other hand, the agrarian revolution to be carried out in the future will solve the most scarce land and industrial resources!

The core of Yang Hao's new deal. One is the land allocated to the people. Under the premise of the state-owned land system, private ownership of a certain amount of land rights is a magic weapon for maintaining the stability of the people at the grassroots level of the entire Chinese nation. And the land of the northeast that the Manchus occupied and retained for 250 years just plugged this most obvious hole.

In this world, the final developable area of the entire Northeast can reach 300 million acres! But now it has not even opened 100 million acres. Not to mention the countless forest resources and mineral resources, which are enough to arrange tens of millions of people, so that more than 100 million people can own land or resource minerals and other share-based private property.

The whole of China now has a population of just over 400 million, and the buffer capacity is simply unlimited!

When the roads and railways in the Northeast are repaired, the resettlement and reclamation policy will enter the stage of autologous circulation. Yang Hao was free to advance the Jiangbei region without worrying about the failure of the agrarian revolution policy.

This is a way out for the official and gentry class.

Their second chance to fight back was Yang Hao's entry into Beijing. As long as he dares to enter the capital. Immediately it will be overwhelmed by the overwhelming pleas of countless people to ascend the throne! The treacherous and cunning officials know very well the greed of the people's hearts, as long as they coax together, Yang Hao's loyal subordinates will definitely not stop him, but will work together to push him to the altar completely!

People's hearts are selfish, and who doesn't want to go down in history as soon as possible? Who doesn't want to occupy a higher position in the new government early on?

Taking 10,000 steps back, even if Yang Hao is made emperor, it is okay for the revolutionaries to still firmly implement the original program and strategy. Even if you don't call it the emperor, it's okay to call it the president, the name is right, and the big guy has the backbone to do things.

After seeing through this qiē, everyone stared at Yang Hao in anticipation of Yang Hao's entry into Beijing.

As a result, Yang Hao took the lead in issuing a statement: "I won't enter Beijing!" ”

In his speech, he explained his reasons for doing so, reaffirmed the order and necessity of the revolutionary advance, guarded against the harm of being greedy for merit and rashness, and beware of falling into the trap and demagogy of the stubborn old forces, which in vain ruined the great revolutionary cause that had just begun.

In particular, Yang Hao told the grassroots people in every village and town about the harm. The poor masses who had already benefited from the agrarian revolution, and those who had made their fortunes following the new policies and regulations, were most worried about policy changes. But Yang Hao reassured them that they would not be bewitched by the power of the gentry.

Since ancient times, the most troublesome problem of grassroots influence has been solved with the two-pronged approach of broadcasting to the countryside and newspapers going to the countryside. No matter how crooked your grassroots officials are, it can't be as effective as hearing Yang Hao's explanation of the policy with your own ears. By comparing with each other, we can naturally know who is the good guy and who is the bad guy, and whether the officials are doing the right thing or not.

This is the key to the smooth transmission of the spirit of the central government in the previous stage after the founding of the People's Republic of China, and the realization of the response of the people of the whole country. The loudspeakers and telephone lines that pass through the village are very important!

However, after years of ideological struggle, the government returned to the central government to make decisions, the provincial and ministerial levels reinterpreted it, and the lower strata comprehended the spirit and added oil and vinegar to the administration, and the flavor of the administration completely changed. Even if ordinary people watch the well-choreographed half-hour news all day long, they can't figure out what is being said in those eight-strand texts. The right to interpret the intentions of the decision-makers was once again in the hands of the new generation of bureaucrats and gentry, and the connection between the central government and the grassroots was disconnected, and all kinds of misunderstandings and contradictions and conflicts arose.

To lose control of the grassroots is to lose control of the destiny of the country and the nation. For thousands of years, every time there is a strong man and a strong government, China can form a joint force to move forward, and the so-called prosperous era appears. As soon as there is no strong leader in charge, the stubborn official and gentry immediately take power, exploit the interests of the state from top to bottom, and lead the cycle of chaos and chaos endlessly.

This truth is not a so-called historical problem at all, but the vested interests of the qiē who guide zhì always have the right to interpret it, and they will not say it at all.

Some people have seen through this truth, so they unswervingly rely on the masses, believe in the masses, and mobilize the masses. Change the world!

Yang Hao followed the successful cases of this world. Unswervingly promote direct communication with the grassroots. Convey the spirit of his ideas to the people in the vernacular, even illiterate adults can hear and understand clearly. There is no need for bureaucrats to interpret it layer by layer, and the possibility of tricking around with it is eliminated. Unless they can join forces to pinch the communication lines and destroy the broadcasting facilities, it will be difficult to compete for Yang Hao's right to speak.

Yang Hao did not enter Beijing, the people in the areas under the jurisdiction of the revolutionary army and the military government were at peace, and the officials and gentry who were waiting to play tricks were disappointed but helpless. I hope that the poor people can also turn over like the local people of the new land reform policy. Rejoiced!

Li Hongzhang, who stayed in his hometown of Hefei, saw the telegram news and read Yang Hao's speech, and couldn't help but laugh happily.

Glad to have the eldest son Li Jingfang head into Beijing, it means that the Li family's position in the new government is stable and unshakable, and he does not have to worry about liquidating people after a hundred years and being saddled with a black cauldron. No matter how enlightened and honest the new government is, sooner or later there will be a new political family and factional force, the young and powerful Li Jingfang. It is enough to ensure the prosperity of the Li family and even the Li family for thirty or forty years. This is enough to support the birth of a new generation of talents.

The happy ones are his old rivals. The wishful thinking is completely gone.

There are many mediocre people in the court, and Weng Tongyi, who has a little vision, has been abandoned, and the rest such as Xu Tong's resolute people are stupid and useless, and I am afraid that they will not even be able to play tricks.

The ministers who really have a level of supervision and care are waiting for Yang Hao to make a mistake, but they give people a light word to the bottom of the kettle, I don't know how disappointed I am.

In a good mood, Li Hongzhang made an exception and drank two more wines and ate a four-gill perch.

After Zhang Zhidong heard the news, he was silent for half an hour, and finally sighed faintly: "Be less arrogant and be old and steady, Yang Dingshi is in his twenties, how can he be so determined, could it be that the destiny is really there, and the big thing cannot be shaken?" ”

Whether it is destiny or not, I'm afraid no one can tell. But if we talk about the general trend, it is inevitable. Even if it was advanced by 50 years, it did not wait for the Chinese nation to fall into the darkest abyss, but the general trend of the world has formed an unstoppable force for change rolling forward.

The occupation of the capital by the revolutionary army and the relocation of the core of the military government's government affairs are as it should be. Immediately after that, the reform was carried out in an orderly manner, and the program that was originally confined to the coastal zone was extended to cover the whole of Hebei, but it came to an abrupt end when it was advanced to the border of Shanxi and Henan, and it was not greedy for merit at all.

This made the two palaces Luan, who fled the way, greatly relieved.

Empress Dowager Cixi and Emperor Guangxu fled to Xuanhua in a panic, stationed on the edge of the Great Wall, once the revolutionary army reached into Shanxi, it would flow to the Mongolian steppe without saying a word. As a result, after waiting and waiting, the people did not move on the edge of Taihang Mountain, so after a fierce argument, they dared to go south into Datong.

When I got here, I didn't dare to go more, and waited to see if there was any intention of closing the door and beating the dog, so I gave up the idea of continuing to flee west to Guisui from here, and under the joint welcome of a large group of Jin merchants who were good at speculation, they entered Taiyuan steadily.

This toss took a full month. Cixi and Guangxu were all wearing coarse cloth coats, and they didn't even dare to bring better clothes, ready to flee in disguise at any time. Not to mention the food, even if there are landlords and gentry along the way who open the door of the house to support, compared to their luxury of hundreds of dishes in the capital palace, this is all coarse tea and light rice, which is difficult to swallow.

Coupled with fear, after a month, the Empress Dowager Cixi no longer had her delicate skin like a girl, her hair was white, and her face was gray and her spirit was not good.

Emperor Guangxu is even more like a tuberculosis ghost, not to mention cheering up and looking at things, it is difficult to even walk normally. I don't know who gave him the idea to make him smoke!

So when they arrived in Taiyuan, the two palaces were finally able to ease their strength, and the Empress Dowager Cixi immediately abolished the emperor on this ground, and elected the eldest brother Pu Jun, who was twelve years old, to become the emperor and change the yuan to "Baoqing".

In this political change, the reformist young Zhuang completely lost power and stepped down, and Rong Lu, who controlled the military power, became Cixi's biggest helper in seizing power with the support of 50,000 elite soldiers.

This opportunity was really good, the great powers were all restrained by Yang Hao and fought fiercely, and they didn't have the strength to continue to help Guangxu stand on their feet, and Cixi won very easily.

After Yang Haojing waited for the dust to settle down, he openly criticized the perverse behavior of the Qing court, saying that although Emperor Guangxu was a representative of the decadent old forces, he still had an enlightened and enterprising side, and he was a force that could do something beneficial to the country and the nation after reforming education. The diehards led by the Empress Dowager Cixi are openly stifling this progressive force and continuing on the wrong path of turning their backs on hundreds of millions of people, which is a provocation to all the people who yearn for beauty and peace, and must be severely punished!

This speech frightened Cixi! Afraid that Yang Hao would chase after him, he hurriedly drove and continued to flee, from Fenzhou to Suide via Wubao - this went directly to Shaanxi.

All walks of life in Shanxi finally sent away these bastards who ate and drank Sun but did not thank Sun, and the last bit of thought about the Qing Dynasty was completely dispelled, so after discussing with the major Jin merchants, they decided to completely throw themselves into Yang Hao without hesitation.

Their decision means that they will officially take over the military government's land reform policy and actively support the new policy with people and money, which is going to hemorrhage!

Yang Hao did not accept it lightly, even if the current Jinshang Group was the reform he single-handedly supported, from the existing merchants and money bank ticket numbers, to the formal financial and industrial and commercial forces, but he never gave up his vigilance against them.

The greed of the power of capital is immeasurable!

Yang Hao's reply to them was very clear, looking at their words and deeds to see what they did. (A good event for pie in the sky, cool mobile phones are waiting for you!)
