Chapter 662: Talking About Tokushima City and Other Aspects (4)

"Hmm......" After hearing Feng Longde's inquiry, Hatsune Miku touched the back of his head with his left hand, and nodded after sorting out the green single ponytail hanging from the back of his head: "Of course I still want to hear it! Uncle Feng! But Uncle Feng, should we continue to set off after chatting about this topic? After all, the purpose of the two of us coming out together today is to visit the musical instrument store and plan in advance what brand of musical instruments to buy, isn't it?"

"That's for sure. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info" Feng Longde nodded, he himself also felt that he had been talking about this topic for a little too long, but this is also his personal special habit or quirk, once he talks about historical or military topics, it will be endless, even if the object of discussing these two aspects with himself is a cute girl, "That's it, after we finish talking about this topic, let's go directly to several musical instrument stores here, don't you think, Hatsune Miku?" ”

"Okay!" Hatsune Miku quickly smiled and nodded, although listening to Feng Longde talk about these contents is not completely uninteresting, but Hatsune Miku is not the type who is particularly interested in history and military after all, the reason why she will listen to Feng Longde talk about these things is that she is not completely uninterested, the main reason is that she wants to understand Feng Longde from all aspects, the Teutonian uncle, daily life is one thing, and his own knowledge level and opinion level are also one thing, "Ideological words...... There is still a big difference between the Chinese and the Japanese, right? Although they are both of the yellow race, and they are also of the same type of cultural circle?"

"That's right. Feng Longde nodded, and then quickly took two more sips of Pepsi Cola to moisten his throat and continued: "But if you talk directly from the ideology, I think you may not understand Hatsune Miku too well, and it is easy to understand a lot more one-sided, so I plan to start with other factors first, and explain to you step by step, Hatsune Miku." ”

"Uh-huh!" Hatsune Miku agreed.

After seeing Hatsune Miku's green onion singer agree, Feng Longde cleared his throat and pondered for more than ten minutes before continuing: "For Japan's Meiji Restoration, I remember reading a related paper, as if there was a modern scholar who believed that there were many reasons for its success, one of which was that Japan's modernization had already begun at the time of the Tokugawa shogunate...... In addition, the rebellion of the lower class people, the down-and-out samurai, and the daimyo also played a certain role...... However, no one knows exactly how Japan's Meiji Restoration succeeded, because there are so many reasons why it is completely a mystery, and these things may be a historical accident...... Uh, Hatsune Miku, can you understand my part?"

"Of course I understand, Uncle Feng!" Hatsune Miku replied with a tilted little head, not looking confused.

"That's good. Feng Longde shrugged his shoulders and continued: " In fact, there are many similar explanations for the Wuxu Reform or the Hundred Days Restoration in the late Qing Dynasty, for example, some Chinese and foreign scholars believe that Cixi was not opposed to reform, and Guangxu's attitude towards reform is also supportive, which means that Guangxu did not actually play much of a role, and Kang Youwei and others also did not play much of a role; not only that, but many people also think that what Kang Youwei and others did at that time was to completely Westernize, while one Chinese scholar said that this was not the case...... But what exactly is going on in the end? Again, there is no precise conclusion...... This is a deconstructive tendency, and the advantage of the study of deconstructive tendencies is that it tells the incomplete side of those constructive tendencies, and the disadvantage is that there is no specific explanation for this, and there is naturally no explanation for the reasons for the failure of the penchant method. ”

“...... Well, although I feel that there are some things that I don't understand a little, Uncle Feng, your explanation allows me to understand most of the content!" After a moment of silence, Hatsune Miku nodded and replied, what Feng Longde said made her realize that she seemed to have learned a lot of new things.

"I hope so, because there's a lot I'm going to talk about later, and it might be a bit miscellaneous, but I hope you can continue to understand it in Hatsune Miku. Feng Longde waved his hands and made a noncommittal motion, and then continued to open his mouth to speak: "If we look at the social structure of the two countries at that time, the late Qing Dynasty and Japan, there are really some differences between them, the difference is that the social structure of Japan at that time was called the feudal social structure by quite a number of Chinese and European and American historians, and the social structure of China at that time was more inclined to be regarded as a unified social structure. Although in terms of social structure, the two countries of the late Qing Dynasty and Japan are not modern in that they have the same social structure, there are still some differences: Why is the social structure of China said to be a great unification? It is because it is not quite the same as feudalism. In Japan at that time, the power of their central power was quite limited and there was no strong national official ideology, while China not only had a unified state ideology, but also a bureaucracy composed of Confucian scholars...... It was in this context that the two countries of the late Qing Dynasty and Japan began to reform and took two completely different paths. ”

"That's the case, Uncle Feng......" Hatsune Miku nodded and sighed as if he didn't understand, sometimes I have to say that Feng Longde has no essential difference from the history teacher in the state of talking about these aspects, it seems that the only difference is that this guy knows a lot of things, and his opinions are not only biased, but also belong to the rare type that can be regarded as quite fair and rational, otherwise Hatsune Miku would not have had the patience to listen to Feng Longde's tirade for so long instead of falling asleep directly on his stomach......

"I will continue to talk about the following aspects of the late Qing Dynasty in China, which is estimated to subvert the established common sense a little. Feng Longde scratched the back of his head: "I once talked to people on the Internet forum about the historical topic of the Wuxu Reform, and many people think that the reason why the Wuxu Reform failed was that 'the development of the Chinese bourgeoisie was incomplete and weak and compromising on the subjective side, while the Chinese feudal reactionary forces were too strong and seriously hindered by the objective aspect...... This is the standard answer in public history textbooks, but it is completely inconsistent with the facts -- in fact, in terms of both subjective and objective factors, the late Qing Dynasty in China and Japan also had the same problem, and the resistance of the Japanese feudal reactionary forces was even stronger than that of China at that time...... To be honest, it's really not that serious......"

Picking up his cup of Pepsi again, he took two sips and moistened his throat, Feng Longde continued after organizing the language he wanted to speak: "The words of the late Qing Dynasty in China...... After the defeat in the Sino-Japanese War in 1895, the Wuxu Reform presided over by Emperor Guangxu in 1898 began to take place. Under the influence of the current official textbooks and the mainstream media, people basically believe that the Wushu Reform Movement was suppressed by the Empress Dowager Cixi, and by further extension, Cixi was the bane that hindered China's progress, but the real situation was not the case -- how could Cixi Lafayette be indifferent to the fiasco of the First Sino-Japanese War? According to Fei Xingjian's "Cixi Biography", Cixi said to Guangxu as early as the beginning of the Wuxu Reform: "The reform is Suzhi, and at the beginning of the Tongzhi Dynasty, he accepted the Zengguo vassal discussion, and sent his children to study abroad, build ships and make weapons, in order to become rich and strong." ''If you can get rich and strong, you can do it yourself, and I don't control it internally. Guangxu had always been afraid of Cixi, and thought that she was against the reform of the law, and only after Cixi revealed her feelings did she suddenly release her depression, and she took bold action surrounded by several scholars, hoping to complete the task of a thousand years in a week...... The result is that the desire for speed is not achieved, but it is counterproductive, offending a large number of people with vested interests...... It has to be said that the radical reform proposition of Emperor Guangxu and the reformers caused a strong shock to the entire social structure of the late Qing Dynasty in China, and made many social groups and political forces with a stake in the existing society feel threatened. During the period of the Hundred Days Restoration, there were more than 110 relevant edicts, which were dizzying, and all local officials everywhere complained; and Emperor Guangxu severely punished officials who obstructed the reform of the law, resulting in too many enemies, and even planned to directly abolish the eight-share reform of the imperial examination system at one time, which directly caused widespread panic among the huge group of scholars......

“...... Uncle Feng, this seems to be ...... It's too ......" After hearing Feng Longde's story, Hatsune Miku was a little dumbfounded, "It's too amazing, isn't it?"

"Isn't it? Sometimes when I see this scene, I have an illusion, will Emperor Guangxu be taken away by Long Aotian or Zhao Ritian at that time, and he can do such two things. Feng Longde snorted, he had talked to Weisk and others about this matter, and speculated that Wang Mang and Liu Xiutian knew if they would be the two of them who ran to the same era of Chinese travelers, but Liu Xiu, Liu Aotian, turned Wang Mang's anus over Wang Ritian, and as a result, the Eastern Han Dynasty was stirred up, "The actions of a second-forced emperor and a few scholars were about to lead to the immediate collapse of the Qing Dynasty, and as a result, Cixi had to come out to stabilize the political situation and swallow the "bloody coup" Therefore, in dealing with the matter of the Wuxu Reform, Cixi actually had no merit -- if Cixi really wanted to be as ambitious as Wu Zetian in the Tang Dynasty at that time, then why did Cixi not become emperor later? Due to various well-known reasons, Cixi has been scandalized to the point that it can no longer be scandalized. Not only that, but Cixi herself supported reform, as evidenced by the new policy she led herself: "The previous cause of the accumulated defects at home and abroad was too deep, and we had to take measures according to the conditions of the time and make efforts to rectify them." And the small people, stealing the law, is a plot to incite chaos. It has been severely punished to curb the flow of water. As for all those who are politically concerned with the national economy and people's livelihood, whether new or old, they must be implemented in order, and they must not be wasted because of choking. This shows her thoughts. However, in such an era that coincided with great social changes, Cixi obviously did not have the knowledge and literacy that a supreme ruler should have...... First of all, Cixi did not take the initiative to absorb the thirst and action of new knowledge, so she showed rather astonishing ignorance on many issues, such as the idea that building railways would destroy feng shui, and that trains should be pulled by donkeys and horses...... Although she can't be blamed for this, but the intellectual background of that era is like this...... However, it cannot be denied that Cixi's ignorance completely affected the actual results of the Westernization Movement and Tongzhi Zhongxing that she supported, and more importantly, due to the limitations of her education level and the times, Cixi did not have enough psychological preparation and overall consideration for the seriousness of the situation, the process and goal of reform, and it was easy to passively adjust her policies under the stimulation of external forces...... For example, Japan's Meiji Restoration took a full twenty years to complete, while Cixi took only eight years, especially since the former was a small country and the latter was a large country...... The pace of reform was too big and too fast, which incidentally led to political instability and decentralization, the most obvious example of which was the Pro-Road Movement at the time...... By the way, I will digress to say that the fall of the late Qing Dynasty in China was not because of what is usually said to be serious corruption, but because of the great leap forward in its own reform, which is not much different from the reason for the collapse of the Soviet Union, and radical reforms are far more harmful to the country than simple corruption. ”

"Seems to be the case, Uncle Feng. When Feng Longde began to suck Pepsi Cola to moisten his throat again, Hatsune Miku tilted his head, "By the way, Uncle Feng, I remember that I seem to have read relevant discussions on the Internet, saying that the Japanese social elites at that time, especially represented by Fukuzawa, believed that modernization must not be rushed, and the first step was to change the thinking of the Japanese people, first to carry out cultural reform, the second step was to talk about political reform, and finally to reform other things...... And from a subjective point of view, not only Fukuzawa thought so, but other major intellectuals at the time, including the official leadership, who were more in favor of this approach, because they were very unconfident in this reform, so they thought that it was necessary not to be in a hurry, so they adopted a slow and gradual approach......

"Ha, who said it wasn't. Feng Longde grinned and snorted at the same time, he really didn't expect that Hatsune Miku, the singer of the V family, would actually be able to put forward his own ideas in this regard, which made him a little surprised, "However, the words of the late Qing Dynasty in Huaxia ...... It's a bit of a rush. ”
