Chapter 450: The Chinese Empire, the Head of the Empire
Chapter 450: Chinese Empire, Head of Empire
After forming five agreements with Liang Qichao, Liang Qichao moved.
The purpose of Liang Qichao's activities is to unite the democratic republicans to allow them to accept the content of these five agreements and make these five agreements recognized by the society.
At this time, the voice of China's democratic republicans was getting smaller and smaller. Except for the stubborn democratic republicans who were still insisting on it, many people shook their camps.
In the choice of this camp, it only depends on whether the nationalist consciousness is stronger than the democratic and free consciousness. The East China government vigorously develops education. At this time, most of the intellectuals in China were trained by the East China government, but their nationalist consciousness was very strong.
Under such a general context, the decline of the democratic republicans is in line with normal laws.
Liang Qichao was the leader of the democratic and communist faction. He was provoked by the entire Beiyang disintegration, and he had the highest prestige among the democratic and republicans.
At this time, even those who insisted on the democratic and co-op faction had shaken their minds.
The current mainstream public opinion in China believes that restoring the imperial system lies in the issue of royal family origin. If someone insists on restoring the Qing royal family, it will be a trampling on the dignity of the Han people.
But if the orthodox Han Dynasty is restored, it is acceptable to a certain extent, but it also depends on whether the candidate is qualified to be the Chinese emperor.
Everyone can see Xia Jun's achievements. In today's China, Xia Jun is the only one who is qualified to be the emperor of China.
This public opinion voice has dominated the mainstream, and the call for imperial system has reached an unprecedented level.
However, at this time, the East China government still did not make any official response, and the public opinion representatives were waiting for Xia Jun to express their opinions in the East China Plaza every day.
But no matter how the people appealed, Xia Jun never stood up to express his attitude.
This makes the situation in China seem very unclear again, but the current main debate is that the democratic republicans are no longer able to speak, and the main debate turns into an aspect of whether to be imperial.
Most citizens require imperial system, but a large number of citizens require dictatorship without imperial system.
Originally, Yan Xishan was a person who carried the flag of this faction, but when the focus of the debate shifted to this point, Chief Yan stopped.
Yan Xishan naturally supported the imperialists. He just provoked a camp that was more likely to make the democratic republicans turn against him in the false momentum of the previous Democratic Republicans.
At this time, the Democratic Republicans were finished, and the imperialists dominated, and Yan Xishan's mission was completed, so he no longer made remarks in the newspapers.
Liang Qichao's activities were very successful. Under absolute weakness, the Democratic Republicans were naturally willing to accept such an agreement. The authoritarians who evolved from the Democratic Republicans also supported these five requirements.
Soon under the integration of all factions, Liang Qichao submitted these five requirements to Xia Jun as a public leader. If Xia Jun could meet these five requirements, they would accept the imperial system twelve years later.
Thousands of names were signed on the public opinion form of these five requirements. If Xia Jun completes these five requirements twelve years later, these people could only shut up.
The specific conclusion of whether these five requirements have been completed and who will make a conclusion is that a referendum will be held in twelve years. If the public opinion exceeds 90 to support the imperial system, then China will restore the imperial system and Xia Jun will take office as the founding emperor of the Chinese Empire.
The public opinion approval rating of 90 is a very strict limit.
As a result, the East China government was filled with cursing voices, and senior officials of the East China government expressed their opinions in front of the media, denying this harsh condition.
Tao Chengzhang said in an interview: "Since they want democracy, democracy means that no matter what the gap is, 49 and 51 are the winners of the 51, which will sacrifice the interests of the other 49 people. So why do they have to 90 to carry out the imperial system? It's so outrageous and ridiculous. Now that the referendum is being held, I can guarantee that the public opinion support rate of the imperial system will definitely exceed 90."
Senior officials of the East China government made personal remarks publicly, and those representatives of public opinion were not happy. Why should they need 90 to restore the imperial system?
This time it was really messy. On the second day after the news spread, several violent conflicts immediately occurred on the streets of Hangzhou. Some Democratic Republicans were besieged by angry people when they were shouting for democracy and freedom on the street.
And similar incidents have also occurred in other areas.
This chaos is spreading rapidly. On the third day, a businessman who supported the Democratic Republicans broke into a smashed shop in Hangzhou.
Under such chaos, the voices of the East China government coming forward to preside over the overall situation are even stronger.
The East China government finally announced on October 18 that it would hold a public opinion discussion meeting to discuss the future China state system and to regulate the conflicts between the two factions.
At the same time, the East China government announced that it had entered a second-level stability maintenance state. Police and riot police from all over the country took to the streets to be prepared to deal with possible violent incidents and remind democratic republicans to pay attention to safety when going out.
These violent incidents have caused panic among the democratic republicans.
If the East China government allows these violent incidents to develop, then they will lose their foothold in China, so how can they not be panicked?
Therefore, at the public opinion discussion meeting, the democratic and co-organized faction became even weaker.
During this public opinion discussion meeting, three representatives, namely imperial public opinion representatives and autocratic public opinion representatives, and democratic republic public opinion representatives attended.
Among them, imperial public opinion representatives accounted for the majority.
The imperial public opinion representatives had a strong opinion on the requirement that the 90s people could only restore the imperial system. They also had stronger opinions on these five requirements.
In their opinion, it would be better to restore the imperial system directly. What agreement would be made and delayed until twelve years later, which was completely unacceptable to them.
Under such a voice, the East China government put forward the policy of seeking common ground while reserving differences and began to actively mediate conflicts between all parties.
The representatives of the imperialists asked to achieve the Chinese Empire immediately.
The representatives of the autocratic faction require the autocratic route, but do not follow the imperial route.
The representatives of the Democratic Republicans demand that more democracy be carried out as much as possible on the premise of carrying out the autocratic line. This is also a compromise between the Democratic Republicans, so that the autocratic party is the autocratic party.
Under these three voices, the East China government proposed various plans to seek common ground while reserving differences. However, after the vote, the results were not ideal, and the imperialists did not accept these plans at all.
The imperialists firmly demanded the establishment of the Chinese Empire.
Finally, the East China government proposed a plan, namely, to establish the Chinese Empire, but the emperor of the Chinese Empire was temporarily vacant. Chairman Xia served as the head of the Chinese Empire and formed a cabinet. The cabinet was appointed by the head of state and was responsible to the people at the same time. When more than five million people requested the reorganization of the cabinet, a referendum could be held. If the number of votes exceeds 50, the cabinet would be reorganized, but the new cabinet would still be appointed by the head of state.
Whether the head of state takes office as the imperial emperor is still in accordance with five requirements, but the vote rate of 90 in the referendum was reduced to 80 of the votes, and the unvoted votes will not be included.
This plan was immediately approved by the imperialists, and before the vote, these public opinion representatives had received an announcement. This was the plan proposed by the Chairman.
Therefore, all the representatives of the imperialist party agreed to this plan. The votes voted reached 96, and the authoritarians also agreed to this plan.
In the eyes of those authoritarians, the disintegration of the Republic of China and the establishment of the Chinese Empire was a kind of restoration of tradition, and there was no emperor for the time being. Whether there was an emperor depends on those five requirements, so they also agreed with this plan.
At the height of 96 votes, the proposed plan came into effect and was officially delivered to Xia Jun, the head of state of East China, and the content of the plan was announced to the public.
Whether the plan will eventually take effect depends on Xia Jun’s meaning.
This itself is the plan he proposed, so he naturally would not deny it. For Xia Jun, it was only a matter of time before he ascended the throne.
Once this plan is determined, it will form an agreement with the entire society.
After all, the East China government is a state machine, controlling propaganda institutions and public opinion. These twelve years are the period when Xia Jun continuously eliminates differences and makes the nation highly united and the ideological unity.
Twelve years later, it was a foregone conclusion that he ascended the throne.
Therefore, the East China government announced to the public that it would officially announce the final result on October 20th.
All sectors of society had a heated discussion on this plan. This aspect can be said to be a compromise plan for all parties. First, for the imperialists who had absolute advantages, they agreed to establish the Chinese Empire, recognized that China was an imperial country that adhered to the orthodox Han Dynasty, and at the same time lowered the vote rate requirements for the referendum twelve years later.
For the authoritarians, the focus is on five requirements, that is, the referendum in twelve years, and the presidential period is exactly the four-year term like Western countries, and re-election for three terms. If Xia Jun can achieve the five requirements, they are willing to accept this Chinese emperor.
There are the least compromises against the democratic republicans, but there are also democratic policies to a certain extent, that is, to resolutely implement democratic systems in rural areas and allow democratic groups to be established in society to supervise bureaucrats under the dictatorship system. This is equivalent to engraving democracy into the anti-corruption field, but it can prevent capital merchants from getting involved in power, and to a certain extent, the defect that the dictatorship system is prone to give rise to bureaucratic corruption.
Some people believe that the East China government is taking off its pants and farting too much, and just implementing the imperial system directly is over. Those who call it "not monarchy" are only minorities, and there is no need to sacrifice the will of the majority for the sake of the minority.
However, Xia Jun still did this kind of thing about taking off his pants and farting, and he did it very skillfully. If he didn't take off his pants and farting, he would probably have to make his pants smell bad.
Xia Jun was not in a hurry to seek the throne. He wanted to ascend the throne just to make the national cohesion higher. Now there are still a few groups in China who do not accept the king's transformation. We should take some time to eliminate the differences and do some civil and military achievements to make them willingly accept the throne. Otherwise, chaos will arise within and things will go against our wishes.
...
On October 20, the East China government announced that it would accept the plan proposed by the public opinion discussion meeting, and Xia Jun, the head of the East China government, took office as the head of the empire.
On this day, the Republic of China officially disintegrated, and the Chinese Empire was replaced by it
