Chapter 12 Big fanfare
Although the Empire Daily was founded only two months ago, it rose in the public opinion circle with its strong capital, sufficient talent team, strong political background and unique news convenience in a short period of time. The circulation of the first issue was only 5,000, but since then, the number of more than 2,000 copies per day has increased by less than January. The national sales volume has exceeded 80,000. Nine provinces including Tianjin, Hubei, Shanghai, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Hunan, Guangdong, Sichuan, Fengtian have successively established branches and distributed local magazines.
The so-called local journal is the development of the Imperial Daily from the first edition of the first edition to the eighth edition. After the revision, the cover of the first edition was the news of the government and the edict, and all personnel appointments and removals were published here; the second edition is the global news, and the major national events were published, and the newspapers set up a special news department to handle it. In addition to translating the news published in foreign newspapers in China, the telegrams sent by various embassies and consulates abroad were also published accordingly; the third edition is the national news; the fourth edition cover is the current political review, which not only selectively publishes calls from various places, but also serves as the "special commentator of this newspaper".
Publishing articles is the most important public opinion; the fifth edition is the advertising page, and all institutions registered and established in accordance with the law can publish advertisements here, including commercial promotion, institutional recruitment information, and even advertisements for circus performances and Peking Opera performances; the sixth edition is an academic special issue, with academic research results published on textual research, literature, history, astronomy, etc. published on it; the seventh edition is local news, and newspapers published in Gyeonggi are mainly Gyeonggi news, while newspapers issued in various provinces are mainly local news; the eighth edition is local advertisements, which facilitates branches to publish local advertisements and raise funds for newspaper handling.
Due to the official announcement of the Imperial Daily, other newspapers have reprinted it one after another. Although it does not involve copyright, it is always a day behind in time. Many people who are eager to understand current affairs often cannot wait to buy the Imperial Daily for a sneak peek, which has made the sales of this 5-point newspaper soar.
The establishment of the imperial constitutional party has brought the constitutional craze that has been set off since the Imperial Daily's issue to a new climax, with sales exceeding 100,000 copies in one fell swoop, which is spectacular.
"When the constitutional party of the Empire was officially established on the eighth day of the second month, the emperor later gave a banquet to the Forbidden City with his princes and ministers... This meeting to celebrate constitutionalism was advocated by the academic community and responded to it in the political and business community. It was founded in the capital and spread across provinces and ports. The dragon flag was dazzling and the speech was like thunder. The United States congratulated the independence tribe of Britain, and Japan welcomed the conquest of Lulucia, which is the abbreviation of Russia's triumphant army, drunk, dream, crazy, and mysterious, almost crazy, incredible..." - Excerpt from "Experiences on the Establishment of Constitutional Party" published in the "China and Foreign Times".
"The interests of constitutionalism are even more difficult to count...One is beneficial to the country. In the past, the country was not determined, and some people were angry about the pressure of external troubles, or regretted the failure of internal affairs, and the daily decay of poverty, and the different theory was fascinated. Now that the nine-year constitutional outline was announced, we will work together, the parties will be in harmony, and fight with the clams. How about brothers' in urgent need? It is beneficial to the country. If it is beneficial to the people, the whole people will be united and the goal will be the same, the Datong group will originate. One is beneficial to the country. If outsiders claim to be civilized, because there is a constitution, they regard our country as uncivilized.
, because there is no constitution. If the constitution is established, the country is equal to the country. Since he is a civilized, advanced and free country, he will be optimistic about his achievements. Moreover, since modern times, all countries have advocated the theory of equal power. Because our law and that law are different, the rights of A and B are uneven. How can I plot against him by himself? The imperial constitutional party is a constitutional group, shoulders the burden of constitutional establishment and advocates civil rights..." - Excerpted from the "Commentary on Constitutional Interests" published in the "Constitutional Weekly" of the Imperial Constitutional Party.
In the study room, Lin Guangyu was browsing the memorials handed over by various parties, but Liang Qichao came here.
"Zhuo Ru, you are already a civil servant in the imperial court of the third rank. You can give others such small matters to do, so why do you need to touch them personally?" The emperor respected the constitutional elites. As long as Kang, Liang and Yang Qiu saw him, they were all right, and even waived the big gift of kneeling. Seeing him holding a large stack of paper, he thought Liang Qichao came to deliver the next Qing example of the Empire Daily tomorrow.
"The emperor is kind, how dare I forget my roots? But I hesitated for something, so I asked the emperor to decide with one word."
"There is something that is rare to defeat you, Da Caizi Liang?"
"The newspaper received a call from Tokyo, Japan. Although the letter was not signed, it was undoubtedly the revolutionary party."
"Are you an acquaintance? Sun Yat-sen or Huang Xing?" The emperor was intrigued.
"None of them, Xizi thinks it was Hu Hanmin and Hu Zhantang's work."
"So that's it." Lin Guangyu smiled, and he was famous, and he didn't know what he was doing.
When I took it, I saw that it was still the same old article - advocating that Manchuria is not Chinese territory, Manchuria is not Chinese nationals, and calling for revolution to slap. The emperor frowned: "What are your plans?"
"There is no dispute in the newspaper. Master Kang's words are not necessary to pay attention to him, and there is no need to justify him; Yang Xizi said that the article is not correct, and it is not harmful to the publication, nor is it beneficial to the publication; but the only minister believes that although the words are wrong, they have a wide influence. It is better to choose to publish them to refute them." As he said that, he respectfully handed over the manuscript.
When you look at it, it is a very casual "Paiman Debate" - "Will those who are full of people take it as full of people? Or do they take it as a bad government?
“…If it is only because it is not Han people, then will there be more than 5 million people, more than 3 million Tibetans, Hui people, Mongolian people, more than one million Miao people, and even more than tens of thousands of expatriates living in China in various countries kill them and clean them?
The Manchus have likes and dislikes just like those of the Han people. For example, constitutionalism, some Han people agree with, some observers, and some interfere, while Manchus also agree with, interfere, and those who are bystanders. Whether they agree with or not or not or not is not taken from race, but depends on political stance.
A monarch must have no reason to want to get a bad government but not want to get a good government. This is a constant affection for people. This constant affection does not create differences due to the different races. Therefore, rather than saying that one should be fully qualified, it is better to say that one should be dispelled from evil people who hinder China's progress..."
"Some people often question the country's dynasty because it is not the Chinese dynasty, and reject it because it is not the Chinese territory. Manchus are indeed remote and are actually Chinese territory. The Ming Dynasty has established an agency to govern it, not a foreign country. The Manchus are not Han people, but also a member of the country. The Tibetans are just like Tibetans in the country, and Mongolians are a member of the country. The entry of the state into the pass is a change of Chinese rulers, that is, the Aisin Jueluo family replaced the Zhu family and the Jianzhou Wei people replaced the Anhui people. This is the normal state of subversion of the dynasty, not China's destruction. It is foolish to rank it with its narrow and partial nationalism. Moreover, the collapse of the Ming Dynasty did not destroy the state's dynasty, but actually destroyed the bandits."
"The reason for this reform is not only promoted, but Rong and Qing are two people. Even the majority of the Han officials are doubtful... Would you rather say that reform is beneficial to the Han Dynasty and is not beneficial to the Han Dynasty? Do you not believe that reform is not conducive to the wealth and power of oneself and is not responsible for the mistakes... In terms of nature, individualism is the terminal disease of China today. This disease is a great enemy of the country, and you need to work hard to conquer it..."
"It's very good, it's meaningful, and it's profound. The revolutionary party's telegram is also forwarded in full, so there is no need to hide it." Lin Guangyu said generously, "Since you have allowed to publish different telegrams, you will publish them all. Rights and wrongs are all in the hearts of the people. Why make the people misunderstand the court and so there are some abridgements?"
"The emperor's heart is kind and the blessing of all people."
"There is another petition here, so I'll just send it together." Liang Qichao took it and saw that more than 1,800 people in the Eight Banners in Beijing were led by Hengjun. He declared that the bannermen "had received national favors from the world, survived national disasters, and had a natural duty to fulfill national affairs." He begged to obtain a place in the Advisory Council.
"Okay, it's true that the meaning of the article is. I think it's more convincing when I read it together."
Liang Qichao was about to leave, but the emperor stopped him: "Do you know why I have made such suggestions on this election arrangement for the constitutional party?"
Liang Qichao knew that the emperor was saying that Kang Youwei was only the honorary chairman of the imperial constitutional party, and replied: "In the past, Master Kang and his ministers could not die, and they were ashamed of God's kindness."
"Otherwise, even Tan Fusheng, I would not want his death." The emperor sighed, "I heard that Mr. Kang and Yang Du were not very compatible."
"You must mediate in and out."
"Although Yang Du is arrogant, I know his temper. He is a person who only has differences in politics but no personal likes and dislikes. As for Mr. Kang... Alas, I don't know what to say. I am nearly 60 years old and act like a scholar. He is biased and narrow-minded. Not only can he not get along with Yang Du, I heard that he has some grudges with Zheng Xiaoxu, Zhang Jian and others."
Yang Du was relieved but could not agree, so he had to stand awkwardly - he didn't know Kang Youwei's temper.
"Mr. Kang's propaganda and agitation are good, and he is also the flag bearer of the constitution and the pioneer of reform. He has been working hard for state affairs for 10 years. I cannot ignore it, so I treat it with this. Zhuo Ru, you must remember that Mr. Kang's spirit can be learned, but his behavior cannot be learned in his life. Mr. Kang's knowledge can be listened to, but his affairs cannot be listened to..."
