The Republic is so violent

Chapter 156 The Enemy of Beiyang (1)
01 Chinese people only recognize power

The relationship between Yuan Shikai and the Beiyang heavyweights Duan Qirui and Feng Guozhang he cultivated by himself became increasingly estranged, and even reached the dangerous road of confrontation with swords and guns. The crux of the problem lay in the German Emperor Wilhelm II.

Yuan Shikai's eldest son, Yuan Keding, went to Germany to recuperate. Kaiser Wilhelm was very bored, so he invited Yuan Keding to the palace for dinner. The land is in the hands of the royal family, this is a key issue, and it must not be sloppy.

After Yuan Keding came back, he immediately reported to his father. Yuan Shikai listened with a grunt, but did not express his opinion.The reason for not expressing your position is that there is no way to express this position. Things like restoring the monarchy can only be done, not spoken about.

So Yuan Ke asked his father that he would move to Xiaotangshan in the western suburbs of Beijing, and do some research first.After living in Xiaotangshan, Yuan Keding immediately sent someone to invite Yang Du to come.

Yang Du, a disciple of the strategist Wang Kaiyun, is full of knowledge and talent.When he was studying in Japan in his early years, he was the director-general of the student union, but because he disapproved of Sun Wen's revolution and advocated a constitutional monarchy, he managed to avoid being chopped up by Jianhu heroine Qiu Jin.Although he did not die, Yang Du refused to join the League, so Qiu Jin and Chen Tianhua set off a strike movement, intending to force Yang Du to submit, but they did not want Yang Du to escape. In the end, Hu Hanmin and Wang Zhaoming advocated resuming classes, causing Chen Tianhua to commit suicide by throwing himself into the sea. Qiu Jin returned home in anger.

All in all, Yang Du is a typical person who doesn't provoke others, but others insist on provoking him.Because of his great knowledge and great reputation, at that time and even for a long period of time, his influence was far-reaching, even far beyond that of his teacher Wang Kaiyun.

In fact, Yang Du's luck can also be said to be bad. Although he advocated a constitutional monarchy, no one responded at the time, and the Revolution of [-] completely overthrew the imperial autocracy, which made Yang Du feel cold.It just so happened that Yang Du's family had a little trouble again. He fell out with his concubine, and his ears were not clean. The teacher Wang Kaiyun was holding cotton shoes and was brought in by Zhou's mother, and he slept with Yang Du from then on.Wang Kaiyun was already an old man, but he flirted with Zhou Ma every day regardless of the occasion. Yang Du saw it in his eyes and heard it in his ears. It must have been a very strong feeling of pain.

At this time, Yuan Keding had an invitation, and Yang Du was overjoyed. He immediately took the opportunity to escape from the house and went to Xiaotangshan for dinner.

Yuan Keding was the first to speak: I have heard Mr. Yang's name for a long time, and it is like thunder, but today I see him, he is indeed a dragon and phoenix among people, and his appearance is extraordinary.

Yang Du: How can you compare with Mr. Yuan, German is better than Chinese, English is better than German, people say that Mr. Yuan is both civil and military, but I think he is really a dragon and a phoenix.

Yuan Keding was overjoyed: In my opinion, sir, is this republic suitable for China?

Yang Du said: "Mr. Yuan, it's fine if you don't mention this matter. If you mention this matter, I will be sad."To tell you the truth, the most suitable thing for China is the constitutional monarchy.why?This is because Chinese people have relatively primitive thinking.What is primitive thinking?That is, thinking is limited to concretization, superficiality and formalization.What is concretization?To put it bluntly, they lack the ability of abstract thinking, and must see real things. Therefore, Chinese people have a problem of getting together. Wherever there are many people, they will go to that place. Why?Because his brain is more concrete, he becomes inexplicably excited when he sees a crowd of people.So what is superficiality?Superficiality means that due to the lack of logical thinking ability, Chinese people cannot go deep into the essence when thinking about problems, and can only go back and forth on the surface.For example, seeing laborers pull carts and wealthy bosses ride in carts, they feel that the world is unfair, so they abolish rickshaws, thinking that the bosses will no longer be able to oppress the laborers.But what happened?The result is that the laborers can't work, can't eat, and are starved to death.Besides, what is formalization?Formalization is going through the motions. For example, equality between men and women is advocated now, so various meetings are held immediately, and the meeting is impassioned, shouting slogans: men and women must be equal, women hold half the sky.After chanting the slogan, when I go home, I still grab my wife and beat me. What I say and what I do are completely different.Why are there two sets?Because he only knows how to go through the motions and shout slogans, but he never thinks about it.Mr. Yuan, think about it, what would happen to the performance of the people whose thinking is still in the primitive era?
Yuan Keding: Huh?what will happen?
Yang Du: People like this will not pay attention to people's abilities, and when they see truly capable people, they will try their best to slander and suppress them.Why is this so?Because they cannot and will not accept the reality that others are more capable than themselves.If you let such a group of people reunite, they will look down on you and shoot people with guns and set fire to you.Look at Sun Wen, he obviously doesn't have any administrative ability, but he insists on competing with your father.Why does Sun Wen want to compete with your father?It is because Sun Wen's thinking is limited to the superficial, and he doesn't know how to govern the country.Sun Wen took things too easily, that's why he thought he was stronger than your father out of thin air.He didn't even think about it, if he, Sun Wen, was really capable, how could there be no one to support him in so many countries in the world?But in the end, he could only be used by the Japanese to cause trouble in China. In the final analysis, it was all caused by the Republic.

Yuan Keding clapped his hands and clapped the table: Listening to what you say is better than reading ten years of books.Mr. Yang, then you say, why is China suitable for a constitutional monarchy?

Yang Du said: Didn’t I already tell you that because the Chinese people’s thinking is relatively primitive, they will never realize the value of ideas, and they are unwilling to admit the abilities of others. The only thing that can make them submit is power.Only in the case of a constitutional monarchy, authorized by the monarch, will the common people be convinced, willing to listen to your words, and willing to accept the rules and regulations you have formulated.You said, with so many benefits, shouldn’t China implement a constitutional monarchy?
Yuan Keding slapped his thigh suddenly: "Yes, yes, it's really right."Then Mr. Yang, if we abolish the republic and implement a constitutional monarchy for the sake of the country and the nation, what should we do?
This matter...Yang Du frowned, thinking hard, and suddenly he showed joy: Mr. Yuan, I think of a person. With him, the constitutional monarchy is easy.

Yuan Keding asked urgently: Sir, tell me quickly, who is that person?

To know who that person is, there are different teachings: the master and the apprentice team up to make an oolong, and thousands of miles away from China.The most affectionate little Impatiens spends the rest of her life in the boiler room.It was Yang Du who said the name of this person that made the Hongxian monarchy protrude from the horizon, making the chaos of the Republic of China so chaotic that it could not be dealt with.

02 It's your chance to be stupid

Hearing Yuan Keding's question, Yang Du replied with a smile:

Speaking of this person, he is famous,

He also once discussed tactics in the Golden Temple, and the emperor was delighted and surprised when he heard the words.

He also once tried to kill Cixi during the Great Reformation of [-] but failed.

He also used to raise funds in Honolulu, and he made countless fortunes.

He also once swept the world with a stylus, and the royalist revolution was in Tokyo.

He also once looked up to the sky and screamed out of Jingmen, and the young China sang loudly.

He also once practiced Buddhism, talked about Zen, talked about Huang Lao, and studied heaven and man-made.

He also once, Sun Wen asked for it and it was rare, and a lonely leaf fell from itself.

He also initiated the formation of the Progressive Party, whose leader is known as Liang Rengong.

After listening to Yang Du's speech, Yuan Keding laughed loudly: "So it's Liang Qichao and Mr. Liang Rengong, okay, okay, this person you recommended is good."The master of Liang Qichao's generation, famous all over the world, Cai E, the most outstanding talented soldier in China, is Liang Qichao's closed disciple.Moreover, Liang Qichao is a veteran royalist, and he was at odds with Sun Wen's group. Sun Wen rebelled violently, but Liang Qichao and his Progressive Party have always maintained national unity.Alright, I will invite Mr. Liang Ren to the banquet right away, and to show grandeur, I will send out a special invitation.

By the way, Liang Qichao is a very boring person who likes to think about things.As early as the beginning of the Revolution of [-], he was thinking blindly, wanting to use his skillful and empty skills to deploy the world. With the three outstanding non-commissioned officers who graduated from the Japanese Non-commissioned Officer Academy as his team, he wanted to win Great China in one fell swoop. Unexpectedly, when things failed, Liang Qichao hurriedly fled back. Japan.Afterwards, the Republican Revolution was successful, and his brother came back gracefully, formed the Progressive Party, and had a great time drawing votes to impeach officials every day.

This time he received Yuan Keding's banquet, and he came happily.After being seated, he chatted nonsense with Yang Du and Yuan Keding. While chatting, Yuan Keding tentatively said: Recently, public opinion has said that the republic system is not suitable for China. What's your opinion, sir?
This... Liang Qichao's brain suddenly entered a state of high-speed operation. He was thinking about Yuan Keding's question, what did he mean?What do you mean?It shouldn't be because I'm full, right?He represents the political attitude of his father, Yuan Shikai. Well, there is something going on here, so let me be careful, and don't let him trick me.

So Liang Qichao replied nonchalantly: I have only studied the political system in my life, and rarely studied the national system.

Liang Qichao's words were tantamount to completely sealing the door. Yang Du and Yuan Keding couldn't talk about this topic anymore, so everyone broke up unhappy.

After returning, Liang Qichao quietly sent someone to find his most proud closed disciple, General Cai E. After closing the door, he stuck it in Cai E's ear and whispered for a while.

Cai E was overjoyed when he heard this, and couldn't help laughing, and then suppressed his laughter: Teacher, you scolded Sun Wen a few days ago for using any means to achieve his goal, and there must be no good results.Now we also do it like this, don't you think this is... um, a bit too wicked, right?
Liang Qichao gasped: Silly boy, didn't the teacher tell you about Darwin's theory of evolution?Do you know what survival of the fittest is?Xiao Cai, you listened to the teacher rightly. If a person wants to make a name for himself in this world, he must have a chance.However, [-]% of opportunities are brought to you by other people's stupidity, and the possibility of creating opportunities by yourself is really very small.If you don't give someone a quick nudge when they're stupid, then you lose your chance, get it?

Cai E smiled and said: Teacher, I understand.

03 Face or head

Liang Qichao didn't want to get involved, but secretly hid behind the scenes to make arrangements.Yuan Keding had no choice but to think about the new staff. He flicked and flicked along the heads, and suddenly found a talent:
The leader of the transportation department - Liang Shiyi.

Speaking of Liang Shiyi, it's very important.After the failure of the Reform Movement of 2, he and Yang Du participated in the special economic examination held by the imperial court. Yang Du took the No.[-] exam, and this Liang Shiyi was the first.

It was precisely because of the first name in the test that Liang Shiyi aroused the vigilance of Qu Hongji, Minister of Military Affairs. Qu Hongji studied: Well, this child's name is Liang Shiyi, what does it mean?Why is it called such a name?Well, yes, Liang Qichao, the leader of the [-] Rebellion Party, is also surnamed Liang, and the leader of the Rebellion Party, Kang Youwei, is named Zuyi. That is to say, Liang Shiyi has Liang Qichao's head and Kang Youwei's tail. That's great. No, this is not a trivial matter, I have to report it to Empress Cixi immediately.

So Qu Hongji wrote: Qizuo Queen Mother, it's amazing, look at Liang Shiyi, No. 1 of the Special Economic Section, Liang Tou Kangwei, his heart is to be punished.

Letting Qu Hongji interfere in this way, Liang Shiyi was so angry that he cried at that time, saying: What happened to my Liangtou?What happened to my Kang Wei?This is the name my parents gave me when I was young. At that time, Kang Youwei and Liang Qichao hadn't made their names yet?Why do you want to fix me just because of this?
Someone persuaded Liang Shiyi: "Silly boy, run away quickly, in case the imperial edict comes down, you will be too late to escape."

Liang Shiyi said angrily: "Why should I run away? If I don't run away, I will stay in the house. When they come to arrest me, I will kill them if I want to. Whoever I provoke will provoke me?"Why kill me, why, woo woo, woo woo.

As a result, Liang Shiyi, who got the first place in the exam, was beaten to death and refused to escape. On the contrary, Yang Du, who took the No. 2 exam, fled to Japan.But Liang Shiyi cried and wiped away his tears, which caught Yuan Shikai's attention.So Yuan Shikai called Liang Shiyi, and after a chat, Yuan Shikai immediately slapped the table: talent, no wonder you can take the No.

Liang Shiyi set foot on the Beiyang ship from then on.Because of his special ability, he first served as the director of the Railway Bureau of the Ministry of Posts and Communications, and then served as the secretary-general of the Presidential Palace, known as the second president, and then transferred to the tax supervisor. After that, he used the Bank of Communications as his team to create a large-scale interest group. Most of them are composed of Cantonese, known as the Department of Transportation, also known as the Cantonese Party.Liang Shiyi, on the other hand, became the head of the transportation department.

However, just as the so-called big tree attracts the wind, Liang Shiyi's transportation system is monolithic, and the interests are monopolized, which has aroused strong dissatisfaction from other forces in the government. Settle the transportation department and kill Liang Shiyi.It made Liang Shiyi feel as if he was sitting on the crater of a volcano. He was frightened overnight and restless.

Just when Liang Shiyi was worried, Yuan Keding came to his door and asked Liang Shiyi if he would help to change the state system.At that time, Liang Shiyi hesitated again and again, and replied, "My lord, I really don't dare to decide this matter by myself. After I go back, I will discuss it with everyone and then answer you, okay?"
So Liang Shiyi returned and convened a meeting of the key personnel of the transportation department.At the meeting, he described Yuan Keding's request, the imperial system, the restoration of the imperial system, this is not a trivial matter, I dare not make the decision alone, must make a collective decision and be responsible collectively.

When everyone heard this, their faces changed, and they said: What is the monarchy, what is the constitutional monarchy, to be clear, isn't it just to let his father be the emperor, and then he will be the emperor again?You said that we are all innocent people, how could we do such a stupid thing like giving up our freedom and willing to be slaves?This is too shameless, right?
That's right!Supporting the monarchy is obviously shameless.Liang Shiyi drew a vertical line on the blackboard with a bang, dividing the blackboard in two: Students, let's look at the left side now. The left side supports the imperial system and is shameless.On the right, it is against the monarchy, against the monarchy, and our face will be saved.However, we will also offend Mr. Yuan because of this. It is okay to offend him. Could it be that he can still bite off our eggs?But students, don't forget that we are now facing eight powerful enemies, "Three Long Participation Cases", "Five Route Participation Cases", if we add Mr. Yuan, then our ending, there is only one, and that is headless.

Classmates, we are now faced with two choices. One is to choose to support the imperial system, which is shameless; the other is to choose to oppose the imperial system, which is shameless.Do you want no face, or no head?Please vote to make a choice. By the way, I would like to remind everyone that voting must follow a strict democratic process. Private canvassing is not allowed, let alone bribery.

Well, now everyone vote.

Liang Shiyi finally said.

04 Japanese women are the most gentle
The next day, Liang Shiyi came to see Yuan Keding holding a ballot box.

Yuan Keding asked: Old Liang, what are you doing with a box in your hand?

Dye Shiyi said seriously: "This is the result of yesterday's vote in our transportation department. I want to ask Mr. Yuan to make a notarization. We will open the box and check the votes on the spot. If there is a result, we will implement the resolution. The opinions of the masses are our opinions. The views of the masses are our views, Mr. Yuan, what do you think?

Yuan Keding was beating in his heart: what are you doing? It's so scary. Please do it. I'll go all out. Can't you be a virtuous corporal? Open the box and check the ticket, and I will notarize it for you.

So Liang Shiyi opened the ballot box and sang the votes on the spot: one for shame, two for shame, three for shame... N for shame... All the ballots were cast for Shameless, that is to say, all the colleagues in the transportation department, I chose shameless.

Shameless...Yuan Keding gritted his teeth cruelly: I testify that the transportation department headed by Liang Shiyi is all shameless.

Liang Shiyi excitedly held Yuan Keding's hand: Thank you for your notarization, now, in the name of the entire transportation department, I assure you that from now on, the transportation department will follow you, through thick and thin, from beginning to end, please give me an order Bar.

Yuan Keding was overjoyed: If I get the help of Brother Yansun, then this matter will surely be accomplished. I would like to ask Brother Yansun to plan for me.

Liang Shiyi smiled and said, "My lord, in fact, there is no plan for this matter, but we have to see first, if we change to a constitutional monarchy, which one is most likely to come out and make trouble."

Yuan Keding: Well, which one will be the one who makes trouble and makes trouble?

Liang Shiyi: Which one could it be?Of course it is... Hehehe, the so-called high-caliber master, the tail is too big, the old warriors of Beiyang, now even your father sometimes can't command.

Yuan Keding shook his head and said: Do you mean Duan Qirui and Feng Guozhang?I understand these people, they don't have shit skills, but my father thinks he has skills because he reuses them.Too many bad words, I can't say it, brother Yansun, please teach me, how can I deal with these uneducated vulgar people?
The rough man Liang Shiyi blinked his eyes: that's right, you are fluent in English and German, my lord. Compared with you, Beiyang is indeed a rough man.

Yuan Keding: This is obvious.

Liang Shiyi: Mr. Yuan, do you know Jiang Fangzhen, a master of military science?
Yuan Keding: Jiang Fangzhen?I seem to have heard...

Liang Shiyi: That's right, everyone has heard of him. Two years ago, Jiang Fangzhen was in Baoding Military Academy, training officers and improving the army.In desperation, Jiang Fangzhen summoned the students to Shangwutang, counting all the obstacles of Wei Zonghan and Ding Jin, admitting that the goal of improving education has not been achieved, and he is ashamed of the students and the country.After the speech, Jiang Fangzhen ordered the students to stand at attention on the playground. He returned to the house by himself and shot himself. Fortunately, Jiang Fangzhen's servant noticed that something was wrong and secretly followed him into the house. Seeing that Jiang Fangzhen was about to commit suicide, he pulled hard. Chest, but it has also penetrated into the body.This incident was a sensation. At that time, even the President personally sent a doctor to rescue him. He was afraid that Jiang Fangzhen would make a mistake, and we would lose a precious military expert.
