"The Russians have a bravery spirit, but their technical and tactical skills are not good. Not to mention my main divisions, even if they are North Korea and Kyushu, they may not lose one-on-one."

Liu Yongfu smiled and said, "Isn't that just killing me?"

Liu Shaoqing said: "Not it. So the child ate 400,000 of his people in one breath. All the essence of the Russians in the Far East was taken down. Now in the Far East, there are only a few small groups of scattered soldiers left to eliminate. I guess that even if the Russian Tsar came from Europe, it would not be able to truly form combat power in a year or two. So the child planned to take advantage of this and improve the military service system that should have been completed."

Liu Yongfu said in a deep voice: "Well, this is a big deal, you must do it well."

The two of them were chatting like this, and before they knew it, it was late at night.

The news that the Governor's Office invited all sectors of society to hold a debate meeting was spread throughout Guangzhou instantly, followed by Hong Kong, Fuzhou, Nanchang, Shanghai, and even Tianjin and Beijing.

On the 7th, a large stage was set up outside the governor's yamen, and the people watching the fun had already surrounded the three layers inside and three layers outside.

"Aoy, Mr. Wang, are you here in person?"

An old man with a goatee paused and said proudly: "The young people nowadays don't know that the world is high and they are clamoring to reform and reform all day long! I came today to educate these little bastards, don't change them, and change everything they have surnamed!"

A young man in a dress on the side was dissatisfied: "Old man, I advise you to go back and rest. Just at your age, don't be unable to educate others for a while, and then make yourself angry."

The goatee was about to attack, and the people on the side quickly persuaded him and rushed to the stage.

Three ordinary dressed people not far away looked at this scene, and the white middle-aged man laughed in a low voice: "See it, the most beautiful thing in this world is the various aspects of this world. Only such a life is meaningful and interesting. You can't see it in the capital."

The middle-aged man with a dark and thin side curled his lips: "Uncle Huang, you can't see it, right? We can see it in minutes." As he said, he threw a look at the white-faced and beardless middle-aged fat man on the left.

The fat man seemed to be so hot that he was squeezed. While wiping his sweat, he said, "It's okay, it's okay..."

Then he cried and said to the 'Uncle Huang' in the middle: "Master, aren't you going to the stage yet? There are too many people here. What if there is any...

Uncle Huang gave him a blank look: "If there is anything, I will chop your head first!"

The black and thin young man immediately looked at the sky with his hands behind his back, but he didn't hear it...

At this time, the debate on the stage had begun. A young man in a Western dress gave everyone a general knowledge popularization of the political systems of Britain, the United States, France, Japan and other countries. It seems that he belongs to the "reformist".

The old master who stood up then talked about a lot of things like "the king, the minister, the minister, the father, the son, the son, the son, the words were all without words.

These theories of his are obviously not very appealing and were quickly interrupted. Then the "reformists" began to introduce the benefits of parliamentary system and the theory of "democracy".

"The Master said, 'The people can be used to it, but not to know it'. The so-called 'the way of the sage is profound and difficult for people to know', but 'the people can use it every day but cannot know it'. Therefore, if the superiors do everything before making the people, they must first become a household name and focus on language and writing to make them know it. Not only is it ineffective, but it will also separate the ears and eyes and confuse their thoughts, and the world will have many reasons from now on."

At this time, the old master spoke, who quoted the scriptures and the scriptures, and the people below were drowsy.

‘Uncle Huang’—that is, Zai Tian yawned and then greeted him: “If we don’t go, I should fall asleep.”

The fat middle-aged man next to him is Shanqi. He is responsible for the emperor's security work outside. He has been waiting for this sentence for a long time. You must know how difficult it is to set up alerts in the crowd!

"Hey, this old gentleman." Zai Tian stepped forward and said, "You have been talking about this 'Zhihuzhe' for most of the time. We were sleepy when we heard it below. Can you say something that the people can understand?"

The old man was just talking excitedly, and saw three people swaying onto the stage, and then scolding him. He was immediately furious: "Rareless, why did you interrupt me!"

Zai Tian was stunned. No one had said that in the past 30 years, and it sounded really fresh. Zhang Renjun, who was sitting in the middle of the stage, had a cold sweat: Dare to say that the emperor is arrogant and even scold the emperor for being a "principal"! This will lead to the execution of the whole family and the nine clans, right?

Shanqi was about to move forward, Zai Tian reached out to stop him, and then bowed to the old man and said, "Oh, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm talking quickly the next time, I couldn't help it, and offend the old man."

As the saying goes, "I don't hit the smiley person, since Zai Tian admits his mistake, the old man is no longer aggressive, just shook his sleeves and said, "You go down and wait until I finish talking, and then argue with you."

Zai Tian smiled: "Old gentleman, I just heard the old gentleman say that he said, and I think what the old gentleman said seems to be far from the Master's original intention, so I want to ask for advice from the old gentleman."

After Zai Tian said this, the young people from the radicals on the other side were happy. It seemed that they were fellow men. I saw that he had a braid, but I thought he was a stubborn person.

The old master said angrily, "What do you know?"

Zai Tian was not angry and said casually: "The Master said: If the people can do it, please let it go; if they cannot, please let it know. This means that when the ruler believes that the morality and behavior of the people meet the requirements of "Tao" and "ritual", let it go and don't care about it. If the morality and behavior of the people do not meet the requirements of "Tao" and "ritual", tell him and guide him."

The same sentence, but Zai Tian made a little change in the way of reading sentences, and the meaning of the explanation was completely different. Moreover, such an explanation was completely in line with Confucius' Confucianism and even closer to Confucius' "benevolent government and love the people".

The old master was speechless.

The "radical faction" on the opposite side immediately applauded. Before, the two gangs were talking to themselves. To be honest, no one could convince anyone after so long because they were not on the same channel at all. These young people may have rich Western learning ideas, but if they want to convince these old masters who have been immersed in Confucian classics and managers, they would never think about it.

Originally, these reformists planned to use this conference to make propaganda so that more people could understand their opinions. Even if they were victorious, they never thought that they would really refute these old men who were greedy. Unexpectedly, Cheng Yaojin came out halfway, and these three people actually refuted the old Master to nothing, and they used the original words of "Confucius"!

How can you not applaud it?

Most of the people in the stage couldn't understand anything "Zhihu" but after seeing these three young people saying a few words, the old gentlemen stopped talking. They must have made sense, so they all applauded, which made the old masters blush.

Zai Tian seemed to enjoy this feeling of being praised by everyone and bowed coquettishly. At this time, a young man stood up from the reform camp: "This brother said it well. The so-called education means to educate people and 'make it know'. Therefore, we must legislate and tell the world how to exercise our rights, rather than just following the path that rulers have drawn for us. Go on, regardless of right or wrong. This is the meaning of constitutionalism, and this is the meaning of democracy."

Zai Tian was enjoying the feeling of "rapping the bomb" when he was suddenly interrupted and suddenly looked stern: "What do you call this brother?"

The man said, "I don't have a surname, Lu Haodong. What's the name of brother Tai?"

Zai Tian compared it in his heart, oh, it turned out to be a 'radical' general. He said casually: "My surname is Huang, Huang Zhongtian."

In fact, at this time, the so-called "radicalists" or "moderates" belong to the bourgeois reformists. Because there is no breeding ground for "revolutionaries" in the current society, even if some people want to achieve political goals through violent means, without the support of foreign forces and the followers of their own people, they can only find a corner to draw circles by themselves.

But today Zai Tian came here to smash the situation. No matter which god or immortal, they would all be slammed. "I just heard Mr. Lu talk about a lot of 'democracy'. I want to ask for advice. Mr. Lu thought, which country in this world has achieved democracy?"

Lu Haodong was stunned and immediately said: "British, the United States, France, Japan and other countries have implemented parliamentary systems, and naturally democracy has been implemented."

Zai Tian smiled: "Oh, so to put it, which country's 'democracy' is better?"

Lu Haodong has lived in Guangzhou and Hong Kong for a long time, and the three countries that he has contacted the most are Britain, France and the United States. He originally wanted to talk about Britain, but when he thought that Britain still had a 'monarch', and France has been rejected by the world since the Sino-French War, so he spoke: "The United States is better and more thorough."

Zai Tian expected that he would say this: "Mr. Lu advocates American democracy so much, and he must have a good understanding of the American democratic culture. So, don't you know whether Mr. Lu knows the Americans' "Declaration of Freedom"?"

Lu Haodong said: "Of course I know."

Zai Tian said: "So can Mr. Lu recite this declaration so that everyone can understand it? Just recite it in the middle part."

Lu Haodong thought this was a good opportunity to promote freedom and democracy, and said happily: "We think the following truth is self-evident: everyone is born equal, and the Creator gives them several unalterable rights, including the right to survive, the right to freedom and the right to pursue happiness. In order to protect these rights, people established a government among them..."

"Wait, wait," Zai Tian stopped Lu Haodong repeatedly. "Sorry, Mr. Lu, because this passage is written in English, can you recite it in English? Oh, you should understand English, right?"

Lu Haodong frowned and said, "I naturally understand English, but if I recite in English, the people below may not understand it."

Zai Tian smiled and said, "If you don't understand, we can teach them. You said 'get to know it' just now, right?"

Lu Haodong didn't know it was a condom, so he had to say, "Okay." So he began to recite the Declaration of Independence in English.

"We?hold?these?truths?to?be?self-evident,?that?all?men?are?created?equal,?that?are?endowed?by?their?Creator?with?certain?unalienable?rights,?that?are?amon?these?are?life..."

"Please wait!" Zai Tian interrupted him again.

"So what's wrong?"

Zai Tian asked: "Mr. Lu, let me ask, are you sure what you recite just now, is there any error?"

Lu Haodong frowned and said, "That's right."

Zai Tian turned to the two factions on the stage and said, "I wonder if anyone is familiar with the Declaration of Independence among you? Does anyone know if there is any mistake in what Mr. Lu recites?"

Conservatives don’t know English, so naturally no one answers. Reformed people basically understand English. However, they compared what they remembered and what Lu Haodong remembered in their hearts, and found no problems.

Zai Tian asked again: "Is there any problem? Is it correct to recite according to the original text?"

Everyone said, "That's right...yes..."

Zai Tian smiled and said, "Since that's the case, I'll ask Mr. Lu. What you said just now is that democracy in the United States is the most comprehensive and best. And you have said before that the so-called democracy means that every people enjoy equal rights. And when you first recite the Declaration of Independence in Chinese, you also said, "Everyone is born equal, and the Creator gives them some unalterable rights, including the right to survive, the right to freedom and the right to pursue happiness." Is that right?"

Lu Haodong said: "That's right! This is the true meaning of democracy..."

"Okay!" Zai Tian interrupted, "I'm asking, does this so-called people include women?"

‘Equality between men and women’ was originally the slogan of the reformists, and even the Qing government was actively promoting women to participate in work and education. Lu Haodong of course answered: “Including!”

Zai Tian smiled and said, "Since that's the case, why did Mr. Lu just use 'that?all?men?are?created?equal' instead of 'that?all?people?are?created?equal'? Although English is not very good, I also know that 'pepople' mainly refers to 'people' and 'people' in English, and although 'man' also means 'human', it mainly refers to 'men'. Am I right?"

Zai Tian then shouted: "In other words, the so-called 'most perfect' democratic system is actually just a political system that only lets 'men' take power! This is not 'everyone is born equal' at all. It is 'all men are born equal'! In this way, do women have no right to survive, the right to freedom and the right to pursue happiness!"

Lu Haodong was stunned on the spot. He never thought that the "Declaration of Independence" that he was familiar with would be explained like this.
Chapter completed!
