Chapter 308 The reform failed, Yang Hao rebelled (2)

Yang Hao's full-range attack like a map cannon was not only the bannermen, but also the scholars who had been loyal to them for hundreds of years. If there were many people who had some moral integrity in the past two hundred years and insisted on being subordinates in name but not as slaves, then the clear streams inside and outside the court now are really shameless people who pretend to be confused.

At the end of the 19th century, China no longer had the policy of closing the country to restrain people's thoughts and continue to rule the foolish people. Even if the entire ruling class wants to do so, the process of greedy foreign devils constantly invading and dividing up will inevitably bring external shocks and baptisms. With the background of the Chinese, it will only be a matter of time before collective awakening and revitalization.

Yang Hao just burned the fire for this process and jumped through many of the stages directly, without waiting for the entire nation to fall to the bottom of the abyss.

But his words were too vicious and almost offended the entire scholar class. After all, officials have their own masters and ancestors, and most of them were from Qing officials, forming the current pattern from generation to generation. If they admit Yang Hao's statement, it would be equivalent to denying their ancestors and seniors, which is a great rebellion in Chinese moral concepts.

Literati care about face the most. They have done this kind of thing thousands of times, but they must not admit it openly. In order to protect this skin, they are willing to fight for their lives - of course it is mostly someone else's.

It can be said that Yang Hao's declaration can call on the response of the scholars and bureaucrats in the court to respond, and it is difficult to choose from a thousand miles away. Although there are more literati in the opposition, they are still hesitant and difficult to make up their minds. The main reason is that the things they learned from enlightenment and study are already deeply rooted and difficult to shake. Agreeing with Yang Hao's theoretical proposition, they must start from scratch like others.

That kind of pain. It's like the 1970s and 1980s failed to start a business and had to compete with a group of young people born in the 1990s again to work hard to keep up with the ever-changing knowledge of their careers. In a new era, not many so-called experience can come in handy. Instead, they are old and burdened, and they can't keep up with their energy, so they can't help but respond quickly. That kind of pain is really hard to describe.

The more influences are, the younger generation under the age of 30, and the few people who looked at the world twenty years ago, including international students.

They all witnessed the old Chinese order falling apart again and again under the impact of foreign guns and cannons, and continued to slide towards the end of a completely collapse. However, they could not find a solution. The so-called theory of governing the country and pacifying the world in the book, and the experience taught by the teachers, were almost useless.

Lin Zexu, Zeng Guofan, Li Hongzhang, Zuo Zongtang and others prepared for the Westernization Movement and established a powerful navy, which originally seemed to have achieved results. As a result, a war in Japan that they looked down upon was completely revealed.

It can be said that they are all confused and confused as a whole.

At this moment, Yang Hao descended from the sky and used a series of theoretical knowledge that made them enlightened and suddenly enlightened! From the outside to the inside, he analyzed the reasons for China's backwardness and beatings, and then practiced to turn the powerful path of propaganda into reality bit by bit, fully proving that the route he opened was the most likely to successfully change the current situation of China.

This made Yang Hao successfully gather a large number of followers. Some of the remaining people saw other possibilities. They started from their own deep-rooted ideas and wanted to influence and change the emperor and the court, realize a political system similar to that of Britain or Japan, and make a reform and reform.

Both ideas are good and the execution speed is very good, but in just less than 200 days, there were so many tricks and missed all over the floor. The true face of the Qing court was revealed by Yang Hao's constant pressure. Emperor Guangxu and a group of Qingliu were impatient and rude, as he killed Tan Sitong, he showed the hypocrisy and silence that was originally hidden under his robe to the world!

The supporters who had a hope for them had to seriously consider it. Today they could kill Tan Sitong, and will they kill me tomorrow? Tan Sitong was just a little more radical and wanted to directly get out of the political party. So the constitutional monarchy that the Qing court was busy in trying to achieve a parliamentary power that was similar to the British, and the rights of the House of Lords, composed of nobles, would be overthrown by the House of Commons. So is China still a China that is respected by the people?

The emperor's rights were greatly weakened, and he lost his right to appoint and remove governors from various provinces, lost his right to dominate the country's economic and wealth, lost his absolute control over the army, and lost his right to free maintenance to cover the entire ethnic group! The patriarchal system of bannermen, which was inherited from the tribal system and even backward slavery, will surely no longer exist. At that time, the group of bannermen will be easily subverted by the Han people, leaving only a short emperor throne. God knows when he sits on his side, he will be kicked off the stage!

Yang Hao had long listed the political systems of various countries for reference by domestic wise men to learn from themselves. The British parliamentary system was repeatedly explained and commented. The upper class of the Qing Dynasty was more inclined to a Japanese political system with emperors and senate peoples, and various vassals were essentially in power. Empress Dowager Cixi was also secretly manipulating the dynasty. Don’t forget the huge group power of the Chinese gentry, they would not agree at all!

Contradictions and conflicts were irreconcilable from the beginning. Tan Sitong's experience was used to prove that the Qing court would not have carried out British-style political reforms at all. The so-called constitutional monarchy must ultimately ensure that the emperor's power is not controlled. The Manchus still have an absolutely lofty position, which is nothing more innovative!

The reform became a farce. With Tan Sitong's successful robbery, it reached the climax of the first stage. The enthusiasm for reforms across the country suddenly cooled down. The comments issued by the governors and ministers of various provinces and court officials suddenly became secretive, and they were filled with clouds and fog, and people refused to easily seize the handle.

At this moment, Yang Hao immediately disclosed his ideal state power structure to the whole country. He did not follow the British constitutional monarchy system, but focused on clarifying the power planning of the governments at all levels from top to bottom that need to be divided into departments, departments, departments, departments, departments, central, provincial, prefecture, state, county, etc.

Among them, the power originally concentrated in the hands of officials such as magistrates, county magistrates, chief clerks, etc. was greatly dispersed. An absolute leader was split into a leadership group with at least five people. Each decision pursues the basic concept of the minority obeying the majority.

At the same time, those who could only be minor officials for generations, or even had no status, no rank, and no benefits also had formal positions and salary. At the same time, they also had clear assessment methods and promotion strategies. Like county officials, they became national civil servants, and they no longer had the opportunity to climb up in their entire lives.

This was a earth-shaking change! As soon as the newspaper was released, it was immediately robbed! When one million copies were printed, it was still in short supply. Some nimble and nimble tabloids were reprinted and copied immediately, making huge profits. In just a few days, tens of millions of printed versions and countless hand-written versions spread across almost every county and township in China!

The good news contained here is too great!

According to Yang Hao's structure, existing officials can immediately change jobs into civil servants as long as they pass the assessment. Although they are subject to great constraints, even a little Zao Li has the opportunity to become a county official. No one will let go of such an unprecedented opportunity!

Although under the current system, they make more extra money, but their power lacks guarantees. Most of them find it difficult to support their family. Now they have enough salary and benefits and can support their families without embezzlement. This is very rare. The only disadvantage is that they must be surpassed by others at all times, so they have to learn frequently. But compared to income, this is a trivial matter.

What is more concerned about this is the donation of hundreds of thousands of officials across the country. Most of these people are studying but failing to take the imperial examination. They have worked as hard as others, but they can only spend money to get an embarrassing identity that does not kowtow. The frustration is really indescribable.

But now, they can follow Jinshi and the first-class officials, and they are serious officials, and have the power to manage some of their affairs. This is simply a earth-shaking change!

By doing this, the number of people with civil servants can be at least hundreds of thousands or even millions! Compared with the current system of only 30,000 officials in the country, it has been dozens of times larger than the current national system of only 30,000 officials.

This proposal directly hit the deadly acupoints of the Chinese! Since ancient times, Confucianism has taught scholars that if they are good at studying, they will become officials. Why are scholars superior to others? They can become officials!

Regardless of whether civil servants are officials in their concepts, it is definitely true that this is always a decent position.

As a result, almost all scholars in China were clamoring for Yang Hao! A commoner who was not scholars, saw that the reforms to be implemented next, the various schools established no longer focused on their origins, and there were free education from elementary school to middle school! As long as they passed the exam and graduated, they would mostly be officials, and their enthusiasm in their bones was immediately ignited!

Even if they can’t catch up in this life, their sons and grandchildren can catch up, right? Such a good policy must be supported!

Everyone's enthusiasm was clamored, scholars, farmers, industry and commerce were mobilizing together, and the streets, alleys, fields and fields were discussing this unprecedented big news.

As for the highlighted reminder later in the article, all officials and civil servants must be supervised and impeached by the people's congresses at all levels, and they are selectively ignored. Since ancient times, there are countless censors, who can really control officials?

Yang Hao's article destroyed the reform movement that the upper elites of the Qing court had worked hard for more than half a year in one fell swoop! No matter how many "edicts" Emperor Guangxu issued, no one cared about it and took care of it. You are still the same thing after all, and you can't get any benefits at all. Who cares about that!

After returning to his hometown in Hefei, Li Hongzhang, who saw the newspaper, said nothing. Secretary Luo Fenglu sincerely admired and exclaimed: "Fu Xiangyuan's concerns are profound. Did he expect the changes today?"

Li Hongzhang smiled bitterly and said, "I didn't expect that Yang Hao would have such a trick! If he really made it happen, there would be nothing else in the world!"

After a brief aphasia in the Qing court, he was furious and thunderous!

Emperor Guangxu didn't care about his majesty and decentness, and shouted in anger: "Rebel! The person surnamed Yang finally tore off his disguise and openly slandered the court! Such a crazy and rebellious act is unbearable! This beast has to be eliminated!"

He immediately issued an order, ordering the new army and the Wuyi army, Shandong Governor Li Bingheng to act together to kill the Yang family's traitors! (To be continued, please search Piaotianwen, the novel is better and faster!
