Chapter 470: Unification of the country (3)
In fact, Wang Zhenyu is now at a crossroads, because of the competitive performance of the youth army, he is very lucky to complete the great reunification of the motherland almost 30 years ahead of schedule, that is to say, as long as he does not stand on the wrong side, he can take China to share the dividends of World War II. To exaggerate, as long as it is done properly, Wang Zhenyu can even build a thousand-year-old empire with a wider territory and richer resources.
So from the very beginning, the idea of the Chinese Federation existed in the mind of the later otaku Wang Zhenyu. Not to mention that the 10 ASEAN countries will definitely become members of the Chinese Federation, and the South China Sea will become the inland sea of the Chinese Federation in the future, and everyone in the province will toss and turn.
Many years later, Wang Zhenyu sighed: "It's better for people not to have ideas, and they will exhaust themselves to death when they have ideas." ”
From January 3 to the Lunar New Year, Wang Zhenyu began his busiest life since coming to this era.
Wang Zhenyu personally flew to Nanjing, and delivered a speech at the airport, saying that he would make a proposal to the National Congress to form a new Chinese Federation, and then in an uproar directly lived in Jiangsu Weaving Mansion, which is now the office of the Military Commission of the National Government in Nanjing.
Wang Zhenyu's sudden arrival in Ningbo and his high-profile announcement of the formation of a new Chinese Federation immediately aroused the attention and speculation of all parties, and the major media reported on it one after another, and celebrities asked to see him. Sun Wen, chairman of the Nationalist Government, saw this situation and also felt the pressure, what is this Chinese Federation, and where is the Republic of China going? Does the National Government still want it? What will be the fate of the Kuomintang in the future? Sun Wen now regrets some of the practices he did during the Sino-Japanese Shandong War, which was so straightforward that he doesn't know how to face the aggressive Wang Zhenyu who is now in full swing.
Since it is the formation of a new government, the first step is naturally to gather widely, Wang Zhenyu is not worried that the National Congress will not pass his own proposal, after all, his own ideas are very in line with everyone's interests.
According to Wang Zhenyu's vision, the first step is that the entire federation is built on the basis of equality, equality and freedom.
This is also a combination of the rise and fall of Chinese dynasties in the past thousands of years to get the conclusion, Wang Zhenyu on January 5 Zhang Taiyan, Cai Yuanpei and other celebrities attended the ** construction symposium unexpectedly talked about the "History of the Ming Dynasty": "We now look back at the history of the Ming Dynasty, to see why a huge dynasty will fall, we can draw a very terrible conclusion, that is, although the centralized system is convenient for the ruling of the elite over the whole country, but it itself is an unsound thing. Centralization must first have a solidified ruling class, and the only way for all people to enter this class is to take the imperial examination. And the continuation of this ruling class has nothing to do with talent in the main body, but is inseparable from blood relations and marriage relations. Strictly speaking, the governments at all levels of the Ming Empire could not be regarded as local governments in the true sense of the word, but only existed as the dispatched agencies of this central group. As a result, power has always circulated in small circles, and in order to ensure this, the first thing a centralized government should do is to avoid the local area becoming bigger, and the system of being officials in different places came into being. All local parents are appointed by the central government, and their mission and responsibility is not to develop the locality, but to defend the central government, because his black gauze hat is given by the central government, not by the local gentry, so no matter how much he emphasizes that he wants to be the master of the people and protect one side, it is all nonsense, and their role is to fool one side. This is the biggest inequality, people in a place do not have any right to decide on the construction of their hometown, and let a guy who is going to be promoted and leave at the end of his term of office messes around, then in addition to the blue sky is a foot high, it is estimated that there will not be too good results, and occasionally a good official is about the same as the probability of winning the lottery, I don't know what the lottery is, it doesn't matter, we will issue this thing soon! Expecting the Confucian sage system is actually an extreme of politics, and its true degree is not as good as Huang Lao's inaction, which everyone should be vigilant and not take for granted. My understanding of ** is completely opposite to this centralized system, I think as long as the two points are controlled, this place can give him the power of self-government, the mayor of a city should be elected by the residents of the city, don't be afraid of people bribing the election to come to power and mess around, we only need to ensure that the residents have the right to replace the mayor with votes, and the mayor will not dare to do anything wrong. Because he is messing around and harming the interests of these citizens, don't think that others are stupid because of their low education, and no one is a fool in front of interests? So we should not be self-righteous, believe in Lao Yuan's set, think that the people's wisdom has not been opened at every turn, and then seek personal gain under the guise of doing it on behalf of us. Someone here is about to ask me, what is the benefit of returning power to the localities, to the people, I can tell you what is the benefit! In the final analysis, the country is made up of everyone, and today we can feel that we are great and others are very small. But please don't forget, it is the people who farm and pay taxes, it is the people who produce and do business, and without the people, what do we eat, what do we wear, and what do we use to form our strong army to defend the country? None of the political, military, economic, and cultural modernization can be carried out without the support of the people. In the last years of the Ming Dynasty, what could Li Zicheng easily break through Beijing? Why the 200,000 Eight Banner soldiers of the Manchu Qing Dynasty were able to enslave hundreds of millions of Ming people, we have to think about the essence of it, it is precisely because of the ruler's extreme desire for poverty and luxury, precisely because they boasted that the elite was separated from the people, and even used the guise of loving the country and loving the monarch to oppress the people, so that the people had such a view, anyway, they were ruled, oppressed, and blackmailed, so who was blackmailed was not blackmail, and who was bullied was not oppressed. Whether it is a foreigner or a native of his own clan, it is not the same to pay taxes and grain if he changes the ruler, so Gu Yanwu is in a hurry to shout there that the rise and fall of the world is responsible. So I emphasize one more point here, whether it is saint politics or hereditary imperial power, its essence is still **, and the result of one person's arbitrariness in everything can only make others lose interest in this matter, and eventually deviate from morality, because people will change. For example, I'm here today to talk a lot about federalism, but twenty years from now, who can guarantee that I will still support this thing. Maybe when the time comes, I will consider letting my son take over my class, I will consider my family's selfish interests, this is human nature, and there is no shame in having such thoughts. But once it succeeds, the harm will be very great, the history of the Ming Dynasty attributed the demise of the Ming Dynasty to the thieves and the Manchu Qing Dynasty, in fact, I want to say that the death of the Ming Dynasty was forgotten on the word selfishness. Therefore, we must use a set of effective systems to avoid all these bad things, encourage bright, positive, and upward things, and let every citizen have a lofty sense of mission and responsibility, so that they can defend our country from the bottom of their hearts, instead of defending political hooligans through patriotic brainwashing education. All in all, equality, and freedom should be the greatest foundation for the existence of this new federation. ”
Applause, endless applause, no one could have imagined that such a rude warlord in the eyes of everyone would actually say such a truth.
At the inaugural meeting of the new federal system design committee the next day, Wang Zhenyu mentioned even more succinctly: "Our purpose in building a new federation is only two points, the first is to break the monopoly of power by the so-called elite group at the national political level, so that when there is a conflict of political and economic interests, everyone can make compromise and progress through votes, instead of playing the trick of the east wind overpowering the west wind or the west wind overpowering the east wind at every turn." Be peaceful, not bloody, and make the political life of our country a healthier place. Through the vote, the power of ownership should be truly returned to the people, and peace should be left to this great and ancient country. Second, at the level of personal life, breaking the monopoly of political power is the basis for breaking the monopoly of various social resources, and our federation must ensure the healthy development of every citizen through system building, and only by truly eliminating the solidification of classes, we must find a balance between cronyism and gathering meritocracy and not avoiding relatives, and let capable and talented citizens get ahead, and our society will be healthy and harmonious. Open the door to success for every talented Chinese, and at the same time not allow them to close the door after passing through this door in order to keep their children and grandchildren successful. This is what the new federation will achieve, and our new federation must bring light, equality, freedom and freedom to every citizen. ”
On the question of how to avoid the split of the federation, Wang Zhenyu also put forward his own idea: "There are two kinds of power that the federal government must hold tightly in its hands, the first is the military power or the national defense power, and the second is the diplomatic power. We have given the power of local civil administration to the local governments themselves, and the taxes are distributed according to a certain percentage, and I do not believe that there is still a foreign hostile force that can abduct the local governments under the rule of our federation. As long as we build up the whole federal welfare system, I don't believe that local government will become independent. Split? As long as every one of us lives happily in the Federation, who will break up the great Federation. ”
As the discussion deepened, the voice of opposition began to appear, and the first to jump out to oppose was Wang Jingwei, who did not know whether to live or die, and he said bluntly in an interview with the "Declaration": "In fact, Wang Zhenyu is only suitable for being a general, he is not suitable for politics at all, he is full of idealism, I am worried that the situation of unification that is not easy to come from will finally be destroyed in the hands of his idealist, and our country should be led by a more mature and stable politician." ”
Despite the criticism, Wang Zhenyu's determination to promote the establishment of the Federal Republic of China is very strong, and no one can change it. At the same time, he is already ready to strike at the opposition
