Chapter 11 Old China

In the time and space where Zhong Yang was originally located, Beijing is an ancient city with a history of more than 3,000 years. With the change of dynasties, it has more than 60 regular names and nicknames in the past and after, and is the city with the most historical names among Chinese and foreign cities.

This ancient capital of the Six Dynasties, standing in the north of China, has witnessed the rise, fall, honor and disgrace of several generations of dynasties. On this land that is suffering, Beijing is still the political center of the entire nation and a symbol of the country.

During these days, Zhong Yang did not wander around and read newspapers as others seemed. Zhong Yang often traveled back and forth between Tongwenguan and Lihua Company, not to hang out and pick up girls, but to collect historical information about this time and space.

There are many related information in the Tongwenguan that can be queried and borrowed, which is exactly what Zhong Yang urgently needs to know.

Compared with the original time and space, the history here does not differ much. It was still in 1911 when the Xinhai Revolution broke out and the Qing Dynasty was destroyed. On January 1 of the following year, the Republic of China established its capital in Nanjing and moved its capital to Beijing in March of the same year.

The tragic old man Yuan still died depressed on June 6, 1916. It is said that the cause of death was uremia. But in Zhong Yang's opinion, Cai E and Sun Dapao definitely made great contributions to this matter.

Poor Yuan Datou, the hero of his life, was still betrayed by his relatives and died under the movement of protectors.

In essence, Zhong Yang didn’t think Yuan Shikai was so bad that he was worse than him. But why did Yuan Shikai bear so many eternal infamous even after his death?

Because his thoughts are still in the past, he can no longer keep up with the times. The Chinese people are not really calling for democracy and freedom, but just losing the last glimmer of hope for the imperial power.

This must be thanks to the rebellious actions and misconduct of the Qing Dynasty. Their efforts finally completely threw the last bit of imperial power into the recycling bin of history.

So in Zhong Yang's opinion, Yuan Shikai did not die because of dictatorship, but because of his defeat! That name was not only a little louder and a little more satisfying to himself, but was of nominal use. Especially when the Qing Dynasty just fell, most people in China were calling for democracy and freedom, even in name.

But most of the dictator's thoughts are selfish and pathological. Perhaps Yuan Shikai was so confused that he was so stingy that he refused to give in to this little self-esteem. So he fell down and died in the anger of 450 million people.

Another funny thing is Zhang Xun. The most famous thing in his life is who is stupider than Yuan Shikai!

In June 1917, before Yuan Shikai's body was cold, he raised a flag to restore the throne. Well, maybe it was because he had a deep friendship with Yuan Shikai, so he did this to comfort President Yuan's spirit in heaven?

We don’t know whether Zhang Xun and Yuan Shikai were passionate.

But the only thing that can be confirmed is that in these days, we can engage in dictatorship, monopoly, banish the country, but we cannot do restoration. History uses its bloody fact to warn us that restoration will not end well.

The land of China today can definitely be called the old China. The order is disordered, the warlords fight, and politically you finished the show, but if you really want to say who is for the country and the people, there is really no. Although this can be done, Zhong Yang really can't see which politician is fighting for our nation.

The current national president is still Xu Shichang. He was a former Qing juren and later Jinshi. He has been a counselor of Yuan Shikai since he was training in the small station, and he has been an ally, both literary and military, and is a fellow disciple. In 1905, he served as the Minister of Military Affairs. Xu Shichang was far-sighted and highly valued by Yuan Shikai. However, he was able to keep a distance from Yuan, advance and retreat in moderation, and stayed away from him in silence when Yuan became emperor. After resigning from his position as president, he repeatedly refused the Japanese to persuade him and did not offer false posts. Xu Shichang had a deep foundation in national studies. He not only wrote books and spoke, but also studied calligraphy, and was skilled in mountains, rivers, pine and bamboo. He was called the "President of Civil Affairs".

In October 1918, Xu Shichang was elected as president by Anfu Congress manipulated by the Anhui faction. He claimed to have given up his military and cultivated civil service and ordered a ceasefire in the south. In February of the following year, the North-South Peace Conference was held, but there was no result.

From this we can see that the president Xu Shichang is not worthy of his name. He can't even handle the internal affairs of the Anhui warlords, and it's hard to believe that he can handle the entire China problem.

In this era, don’t read slogans, otherwise you will never know who is the good person and who is the bad person.

Warlords are all over the land, robbing each other of their territory, money, grain and strong men under the banner of serving the country and the people. As for those political parties and democratic societies with five or six people, they can fool you so much that they can't find them.

Whether it is powerless or powerless, old China was an era without hope. Because the great powers built a large number of warlords and an astonishing number of mouthpieces throughout China.

In 1916, China mainly had Anhui, Zhi and Fengtian warlords. The Anhui army was strong, but it was stationed in the Yangtze River and Mongolia, and lacked troops in the Beijing area, so it was necessary to recruit soldiers and establish a war army in the name of "participating in the First World War" and have three divisions.

The time and space where Zhong Yang is now is at the end of April 1919. Throughout the month, the most popular news in the newspaper was that Mei Lanfang rushed to Japan to perform, and the Dali Academy sentenced Hong Shuzu, who assassinated Song Jiaoren, to hang him. The Weekly Review published some articles in "The Governor Party", and representatives from the north and the south began new negotiations.

As for Zhan Tianyou's death, he was only placed in a small corner and squeezed into the same page as a cat seeker.

"This is really a great sorrow." After putting away the newspaper in his hand, Zhong Yang felt sad that China had lost another high-tech talent.

The sadness of China's past lies in the precocious puberty of civilization, which resulted in a wrong level of productivity, which made the status of culture far higher than that of technology.

However, after the Qing Dynasty entered the pass, China became even more sad because politics was higher than culture and technology, and technology was even deprecated to an unparalleled level.

Even in the 21st century, the so-called industrialization path is just a big fool. Most skilled workers’ wages are only 2,000rmb. It is a joke to even surpass Europe and the United States at such a level.

Doing finance and real estate has become the mainstream. Who is willing to be the technical worker who is both hard-working and poorly treated? Do you still expect others to make selfless contributions?

Simply relying on dedication and sacrifice, we can never truly build a strong country.

Of course, these are meaningless to Zhong Yang now. He doesn’t even have the qualifications to consider national affairs. The only thing he can do is to work hard to develop smart factories, which is the basis for his survival.

Although it is not very meaningful, the historical background information of the research institute is helpful to Zhong Yang to formulate a correct development strategy.

After thinking and summarizing, Zhong Yang has a preliminary understanding of the current actual situation in China.

Zhong Yang is now staying in Beijing, the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties. At the center of this ancient empire, a huge traditional power entrenched here. The former base of the Beiyang warlords is now even more of the Anhui territory.

This is really not a good place for Zhong Yang who wants to develop further.

The first problem is the economy. Although Beijing is the political center, its economic situation is not good. With the squeeze of traditional forces in old China, emerging industries cannot withstand their exploitation and exploitation. In such an environment, it is not easy for Zhong Yang to survive safely without any reason.

Therefore, Zhong Yang believes that this place is not suitable for development at all, and at most it can only make a big profit and leave.

There are not many options left. Remote places are not suitable for economic construction because the circulation efficiency is too poor. However, areas with good economic conditions have long been divided up by many bigwigs.

For example, the most famous Shanghai is like this.

Shanghai is definitely the economic center of the old China of this era. It encompasses most of China's wealth and glory. But it is also the most chaotic place in China.

The base camp of the imperialist invading China is in Shanghai. There, foreign forces are mixed, with various loans and foreign businesses running rampant here. Gangs and police officers colluded with each industry that is rich and humble.

Zhong Yang did not dare to have any expectations for their morality. Robbery, murder, and forced a good man to become a prostitute? That is their main business. Charity? Well, they occasionally distribute expired bread.

Therefore, Zhong Yang cannot regard Shanghai as his base for such chaos and blood, which is really unguaranteed!

Zhong Yang looked at Guangzhou, a place where the economic level was also developing relatively well.

Guangzhou was an important port for foreign trade in ancient China. During the Han Dynasty, it had trade with some overseas countries. It was an open port-type city, and compared with other areas with good economic conditions, it was at least more orderly.

Guangzhou has an important position in the history of modern and modern revolutionary in China. During the British invasion of Guangzhou in 1841, the people of 103 villages in the suburbs of Guangzhou were automatically organized and attacked the British invading army in Sanyuanli. On the eve of the Revolution of 1911, Sun Yat-sen and others held armed uprisings on Guangzhou as a base, and fought unremittingly to overthrow the imperial system and establish a democratic republic. On April 27, 1911, the Guangzhou Uprising (also known as the Huanghuagang Uprising) sounded the prelude to the Revolution of 1911. In 1917, Sun Yat-sen organized the law-protecting military government in Guangzhou, was elected as the Grand Marshal of the Navy and Army, and vowed to the Northern Expedition.

There are a large number of private business groups here. Although there are also various dirty things, at least this place is more respectful to business and business. The most important thing is that this is where the Northern Expedition was started!

In the next few decades, although it will still be the world of warlords, a new king of old China will be born here! Zhong Yang feels that it is the best choice to hug Sun Dapao when he is in the most difficult time!

According to historical data from original time and space, it can be seen that in 1921, Sun Yat-sen would take office as the great president in Guangzhou and then lift the banner of protecting the law. He also held the Third National Congress of China of the Great Historical Significance in Guangzhou in June 1923, and established the united front policy. In 1924, the Kuomintang held the first National Congress in Guangzhou, determining the three revolutionary policies of "alliance between Russia, alliance with the Communist Party, and assistance to farmers and workers", creating a new situation of cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party. On June 19, 1925, the Chinese workers in Hong Kong and the foreign migrant workers in Guangzhou, under the leadership of the Chinese Communist Party, held a provincial and Hong Kong strike that shocked China and the foreign countries in Guangzhou. On December 11, 1927, the Chinese Communist Party held the Guangzhou Uprising here, established the "Guangzhou Soviet Government", and opened up a new stage of the Guangzhou revolutionary struggle.

Although the history of this time and space will be deviated, and both of these parties who are fortunate to be the protagonists of Chinese politics do not know whether they still exist, at least there will be no major changes in history in the overall direction.

In Zhong Yang's opinion, this is enough!

The short-term goal is: first get a vote in Beijing, leave immediately, and go to Guangzhou to hug your thighs!
