Chapter 182: The Birth of a Revolutionary
The failure of the loan made Guangxu furious, but he was helpless against these rebellious ministers and thieves, and Britain would not borrow from other countries, and these local powerful factions led by Yang Feng united, not to mention that the strength of the army and navy alone was already a strong country, I am afraid that no one except Britain and Germany would dare to guarantee that they could win. Two second-class ironclad ships, more than a dozen large cruisers, nearly half of which are armored cruisers, plus twelve high-speed destroyers, this strength is not to mention self-preservation, it is enough to pull out and find the second-class powers to fight alone. What's more, there is also the economic blow that Yang Feng may launch, and the current political situation in China is very insecure, no one dares to guarantee whether this investment can be recovered by then, so who is interested in taking risks?
There is no way to borrow from abroad, Guangxu had to find a way to throttle, and in desperation, he finally ordered to stop the flag salary, that is to say, the hardcore crops will no longer be hardcore crops in the future, this order is full of people everywhere wailing, and even there are people who are self-fen, and more are running to find those traitors who bewitch the emperor to settle accounts. To tell the truth, Cixi is qualified for this order, and her position among the banner people has been entrenched after decades of rule, and after Cixi ordered the suspension of the flag salary in history, some resettlement measures were taken, so the banner people did not have too much dissatisfaction, but even so, there were people who were desperate.
Guangxu and his subordinates decided with a pat on the head, and there was no compensation measure, didn't this force millions of banner people to a dead end! In addition, there are behind-the-scenes gangsters, the riots of the banner people in Beijing City are getting more and more intense, and there are even grenades thrown into the palace. In addition, there was the assassination of those traitorous officials, which was especially severe, and within two days of the promulgation of the decree to suspend the flag and salary, seven of the nouveau riche in Beijing were assassinated. Even Kang Youwei's younger brother Kang Guangren was hacked to death by the bannermen on the way to the court, becoming the first martyr of Guangxu to start the Restoration.
Of course, this time the black hand has nothing to do with Yang Feng, this time it is Yixuan who is fueling the troubles, he has long seen that the mouth cannons are not pleasing to the eye, anyway, the army in the capital is in the hands of his son, and because Guangxu has no money to pay, this old thing has money in his hands, and the army from generals to soldiers are more or less favored by it, and the control is very strong, and it is too easy to do something.
Kang Guangren's death made Guangxu thunderous. In addition to arresting the murderers in Beijing, he also issued an edict to denounce those bannermen for receiving the grace of the country in vain, having no heart to serve the country loyally, and sitting back and watching the imperial court in danger without worry.
This edict made the banner man completely desperate for him, Nima, we just want to share our worries and have to eat a full meal first, since you are the emperor and don't care whether we live or die, then we will not serve you anymore, and a large number of banner people who have no life have begun to leave Beijing. Those who went south to join relatives and friends, and those who went north to return to their hometowns, these people scolded all the way, which was more powerful than Yang Feng's loudspeaker broadcasting. The emperor is a faint king, and the image of a group of traitors around him is becoming more and more deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
In stark contrast to this, the banner people of Fuzhou and Zhejiang have gradually integrated into the Han people. Even because of the advantage that women do not bind their feet, they have gained great benefits, especially after the opening of a large number of textile mills. Almost all of these banner women have jobs, but on the contrary, those small-footed Han women cannot stand in front of the loom for more than ten hours, and a wind of letting go of their feet rises.
"Look, social customs are sometimes very easy to change, as long as people can see the benefits that change can bring, you don't need to say that they will change themselves, and they don't even need publicity, and in the next ten years, people will feel that binding their feet is such an incomprehensible thing." Yang Wangye, who was inspecting a textile factory in Hangzhou, looked at the female workers in the workshop and said to Yuan Shikai beside him with emotion.
This year, the eldest brother can be said to have worked hard, although some people often report that he accepted bribes and filled his pockets, but this is a trivial matter in Yang Feng's opinion, as long as he can do the things he explains, Yang Wang Ye does not mind that his subordinates have corrupt officials, but he minds his subordinates to infested with capable mediocre officials. You can be greedy, but at the same time you must let the people under your rule also live well, if the people can't eat enough and you are still greedy, then it is not a pity to die, the big head brother in a year, not only for Yang Wangye to build his Hangzhou University, but also completed most of the construction of the Dinghai Port, Zhejiang's industrial scale has tripled, which has to be said to be a miracle.
"Originally, poor families didn't want girls to go to school, even if it was free, and preferred to let them work in the fields at home, but after seeing the female workers in these factories who liked to read, they also began to take the initiative to send their children to school." Yuan Shikai said with a smile.
"Yes, the common people don't need us to talk in their ears every day about what is good, what is not good, what to do, those are all false, as long as they see that the changes we want them to make are good for them, they will naturally follow the path we have drawn." Yang Feng nodded and said.
After inspecting the factory and returning to the Hangzhou Governor's Yamen, Yuan Shikai said: "Lord Wang, now that you have opened a feudal domain, shouldn't the officialdom of these three provinces also be sorted out?" Especially in terms of the official system, we can come up with a set of things by ourselves, including the local government and the royal government, and it seems a bit chaotic to continue to use the current set, and those acting local officials also hope to continue their management methods. ”
He was telling the truth, Yang Feng's territory still used the old official system, including the local government, the only change was to strip out the judicial aspect, some of the officials continued to use the old, and some of the local gentry themselves elected, and these elected officials still had the word acting on their heads. After such a year, they found that their way of managing themselves was very good, and the common people welcomed it, and now that the king of Zhennan has become a legitimate vassal king, they are naturally eager to determine the way of electing officials in this place, and it is completely legal for the vassal king to appoint officials in his own territory, and Wu Sangui did not only do this in his own territory back then.
"Don't be in a hurry, don't be in a hurry, if this is a system, it will cut off the hope of those who read, why should we do this kind of thing that offends people? Wait for the court to do it itself, let's just wait and enjoy the results. Yang Feng said with a smile, Guangxu has been discussing how to implement the new policy these days, the first one is to abolish the imperial examination, and as soon as he announces it, it will be logical for him to engage in a constitutional monarchy. In this way, even if the green worms hate it, they can't hate it, on the contrary, because the three provinces of Fujian, Zhejiang and Taiwan also arranged jobs for them, even the green worms will be grateful to themselves at that time.
He has always wondered why Kang Youwei and these people have to abolish the imperial examination with one slash? It is said that as green worms, they have betrayed their class, it can only be said that they are too selfless, but it is a pity that such people usually have no good end, not only the vegetable market mouth beheaded but also have to walk while suffering from the people's cabbage gang, if the eggs are not too expensive, maybe they will have to suffer rotten eggs. Moreover, they also cultivated countless chaotic parties for the Qing Dynasty that they fought for, and even Zhang Taiyan said that the so-called revolution was actually a rebellion by Xiucai, and he didn't know that Tan Si and the others knew about it, and he was so angry with the ancestors of the Qing Dynasty.
After returning to Fuzhou after the inspection of Zhejiang, Yang Wangye's three-good student has completed the absorption of knowledge, and the temperament of the whole person is different, and the whole body exudes a holy light, and countless skeletons can be faintly seen.
"How do you look, do you feel about it?" Yang asked solemnly.
"Lord Wang, thank you, you let me finally see the beacon of light on the dark sea, you made me understand the greatest thought in the world, and you let me understand the true meaning of life." Bonifaxiu fell to his knees as he spoke, and kowtowed to Yang Feng three times with tears in his eyes.
"I'm glad you understand that these etiquettes don't need to be needed." Yang Feng helped him up and said lightly: "Although I am not a Filipino, we are all yellow after all, and China and the Philippines have been friends since ancient times. The reason why I introduce this set of thinking to you is to make you understand that the contradiction between you and the colonizers and landlords is an irreconcilable class contradiction, and that your struggle is not a simple struggle for freedom and independence, but in essence a struggle between two classes. This kind of struggle is bound to be cruel, there can be no compromise, only by eliminating the exploiting class, the Filipino people can achieve true happiness, sometimes blood must be shed, no matter how much is shed, only the red blood will make the dawn magnificent. Yang Wang Ye said with a holy face.
Bonifaxiu nodded vigorously, and held the large stack of revolutionary works in his hand, especially the revolutionary Bible of Nechayev, which was given to him by Yang Feng, you must know that this book is impossible to find outside, and it has always been an internal secret of the Soviets. In fact, this is the complete version he used to ask Sablin to get from the Kremlin, which was used to guide the revolutionaries in Southeast Asia at that time, but now he gave it to Bonifa Xiu selflessly, which shows how enthusiastic Yang is about helping the Filipino people.
"I won't keep you any longer, after all, your compatriots are still waiting for you to save, you go back to the Philippines first, and then I will give you 10,000 rifles, 20 mortars, and 20,000 grenades as weapons, and then you contact Ye Anping to find a suitable delivery location, and my landing ship will send you directly to the coast." Then Yang Wang Ye said. (To be continued......)
