Chapter 25 Fanning the flames
As for killing people, guns are the fastest, and a single shot is as thick as a ring finger, which is enough to kill people. As for cursing people, the pen is the most powerful. A few wonderful words are enough to curse people bloody and even to be in pain. The public opinion position dedicated to the Empire Daily has always been prepared for the pens, and the most influential and lethal one is Liang Qichao. A private comment from the times, Kang Nanhai gradually lost his favor and has faded out of his horizon. Liang Qichao and Yang Du are the backbone leaders of the constitutionalist faction.
The previous article in "Paiman Debate" caused a tsunami response from the domestic constitutionalists, either writing articles, commenting, speeches or debates, scattering the articles in various places, which was conducive to the public opinion style after the establishment of the imperial constitutional party. Naturally, the basis of this confrontation was not equal. Except for the occasional telegrams of the revolutionary party that were occasionally published by the Imperial Daily, almost no articles could be found in the newspapers. The few telegrams of the debate attracted powerful firepower, and countless constitutionalists competed to attack. From content to idea, from words to sentences, every little omission and flaw could not escape their sharp eyes, and they were often refuted.
At this moment, Kang Liang and others, who were holding public opinion tools, have increasingly realized the importance of support from the state regime. Under the prestige of the emperor, they need people, money, newspapers, newspapers, distribution, and support. The dilemma of gradually falling in the past when they were fighting with the revolutionaries has long gone. More importantly, the gradual implementation of the "Nine Years Preparation for Constitutional Preparation" has become increasingly close to the election date of the provincial deputies.
Even the construction of the Imperial Capitol had a shock to the hearts of the people. Look, the emperor convened the parliament after the second half of the 2nd, and personally allocated money to order the construction of the Capitol. Can this constitutionalism be fake? It turned out that the constitutionalists were very slight to the court were happy. The reformists who strongly supported the new policy smiled and said nothing, and even the dissatisfied diehards kept silent in the face of the thunder storm - the kind of people were united in harmony!
When Liang Qichao, the civil servant in front of the imperial examination, rushed to the study to deliver the manuscripts of tomorrow's newspapers, he heard the emperor cursing inside.
"These bastards are lawless. Do you really think I can't cure them?"
After a little understanding, it turned out to be Kaiping's old account. Zhang Yi turned the blame on him and actually impeached Zhou Xuexi in a serious way, and also listed ten serious crimes of the other party. Liang Qichao had heard of the emperor's attitude. A few years ago, he issued an edict to Zhang Yi quickly withdrew Kaiping's liberal power. Of course, it was Guangxu's body. It had nothing to do with Lin Guangyu. Before the past, it was fortunate that Zhou Xuexi did not seek his bad luck. Instead, he turned on the evil man to complain first, which was really ridiculous.
"Zhang Yi is too brave..."
"How dare you be brave and crazy."
"Why don't you imitate the corruption group and scold him?"
"No need to do this, Zhang Yi will naturally be someone to take care of him. If someone does what he does, Liang Zhuoru's task is to promote constitutionalism. Suppress the revolution, and make sure that the people only know how to improve but not how to have revolution. As for punishing corrupt officials, there will naturally be someone to take care of him. If you, Liang's talented man, do it. One is a waste, the other may not be effective."
"It's done Cen Zhongtang." As soon as this said, Liang Qichao and the emperor laughed.
"Today, in addition to sending samples, there is also a secret treasure of Xu Qin." Xu Qin is also a senior student in Kangmen. After the establishment of the Tokyo Branch of the Empire Daily, he became the president and took actual responsibility.
"What's going on in Japan?"
"Since the Imperial Daily opened a branch in Japan, its momentum has grown, and the firepower of public opinion has been greatly strengthened. The Tongmenghui official newspaper "Minbao" was seized. Song Jiaoren and others fought three lawsuits and could not allow the Japanese government to take it back into a debate. The revolutionary party failed again and again, and had long been discouraged by it and was no longer as arrogant as it was on the day."
"This is also natural. If the constitutional party does not occupy the position of public opinion, the revolutionary party will find ways to occupy it, and the same is true in turn."
The interested Japanese police have done statistics. When Chinese students in Tokyo first arrived in Japan, they were very interested in revolutionaries, almost 80 to 10. However, after a year, they studied Western culture in depth and witnessed the reality of Japan with their own eyes, the proportion began to decline. The revolution was simple, but construction was difficult. When the "Nine Years Preparation Outline for Preparation for Constitution" was promulgated, the constitutionalists were in great power, and Chinese students' enthusiasm for participating in revolutionary party meetings or gatherings, and their enthusiasm for writing revolutionary newspapers also dropped sharply. After the "Interim Measures for the Examination of Higher Civilian Officials" drafted by the Ministry of Personnel for the previous month, many people restrained their revolutionary minds and began to study hard. After all, students who came out to study abroad were either official fees or wealthy children from wealthy families at home. How many people could stop the enthusiasm for returning to China to become officials? The imperial examination was abolished, and the imperial court must take Western learning as a
The young man was ready to win a glorious family, so he naturally expressed his conviction to the revolutionaries. In this sense, the Asahi Shimbun claimed that the emperor was an idol of the new policy.
"The situation is optimistic, but we cannot be taken lightly." The emperor pondered for a moment, "The revolutionary party is like wild grass, wild fire cannot be burned, and the spring breeze blows again, and one day will slack off will rekindle. Now that public opinion is turbulent and people's minds change, you must seize every opportunity to differentiate and suppress it."
Liang Qichao smiled: "I have also considered this kind of consideration. I have already drafted an article "The So-called Long-Distance Revolutionary" to be published tomorrow to add a little more novelty to the chaos. I came here to ask the emperor to take a look."
Liang Qichao's articles are thousands of words, first listing nine movements launched by the revolutionaries over the years, including the Guangzhou Incident in 1895, the Sanzhoutian Incident in Huizhou in 1900, the Huanggang Incident in Chaozhou in 1907, the Qinuhu Incident in Huizhou in June 1907, the Fangcheng Incident in Qinzhou in September 1907, the Nanguan Incident in Guangxi in 1907, the Nanguan Incident in Guangxi in 1907, the Lianzhou Incident in Guangdong in 1908, the Hekou Incident in Yunnan in 1908, and the Ankou Incident in Yunnan in November 1908, and the leader of the revolutionary party was unceremoniously accused the leaders of the revolutionary party of "only lie to others to die, but they only enjoy high-rise buildings and houses, but only 'long-distance revolutionaries'", not to mention "Sun Wen and others do not work in production, but enjoy middle-class life, so why do they support them?"
—
"What a wonderful thing, 'long-distance revolutionary' is just six words, but it outlines such characters vividly - the Party leader uses revolutionary hype as a call to incite others' children to return to China to die, but they all live abroad one by one. So many incidents have been made, why don't the so-called revolutionary leaders go into battle in person? So many people have died, why are they not doing anything? It's really a hit!"
"The emperor is wise and Sun Yat-sen is accustomed to bullying others with big talk. The poor and passionate young people are deceived by them at a loss."
"Sun Wen is a leader of a pyramid scheme. What's the point of killing? It's useless to get it."
"Pyramid scheme leader?" Liang Qichao was puzzled.
The emperor found himself missing and quickly explained: "It is the leader of the cult such as Hong and Yang."
"So that's it." The emperor often popped up new terms from time to time, and Liang Qichao was somewhat used to it.
"The revolutionary party is poisonous, and the young are innocent. Therefore, I have always called for literary struggles rather than military struggles. I have to use articles to defeat my opponents, but I cannot use lead bombs and explosives to destroy my opponents. Otherwise, just Sun Wen, I will send a few masters in the inner world to kill him."
"The emperor is kind-hearted, but unfortunately these people are so stubborn." Liang Qichao sighed, but remembered something, and hurriedly said, "After the Minbao was seized, Zhang Taiyan was already in power with others, and the chaos was imminent."
"Is that right?" the emperor smiled slightly, "then you need a little more effort."
"Xizi said this. It is said that Liu Shen Shu was regretful and had evidence from Zhang Binglin, so it would be better to publish it as well to shake the revolutionary party." Liu Shen Shu was Liu Shipei, who was as famous as Zhang Taiyan. He was a master of Chinese studies. He was very knowledgeable. He was the first to join the revolutionary party and then rebelled. Before traveling through time, Lin Guangyu highly praised the achievements of the Chinese medieval literature he studied, saying that he was "the first person in the history of medieval literature in China in 300 years", but he also criticized his integrity. When Liang Qichao talked about this, the emperor thought for a long time, but it was difficult to make a decision. The so-called evidence from Zhang Binglin was a correspondence between him and Liu Shipei, hoping to obtain understanding through his and Duanfang movement. Unexpectedly, after Liu Shipei returned to China, he made public opinion and promoted himself, and this move has always been criticized by the world.
"What do you think?"
"As far as Xizi always believes in the study of the king and domineering, this plan is a good plan, which is enough to trigger internal strife in the revolutionary party. But I think it is too vicious, and Zhang Binglin may not submit, and it is enough to destroy Liu Shenshu. Besides..." Liang Qichao couldn't say that it was Ai Ai.
"You are not ashamed of Liu Shipei's head at both ends?"
"It's a different matter whether he is ashamed or not. But his actions are nothing more than a sudden awakening. Turning back is the shore. The emperor should use his strengths and remove his weaknesses... What's more, he can only attract his successors to abandon the darkness and turn to the light..."
The emperor sighed, after all, he loved talent, so he forgave Liu Shipei in his heart, picked up his pen and wrote several words on the clear example: "Tomorrow, I will use this magazine as a headline advertisement, so that everyone in Tokyo will know."
The advertisement had only one sentence, but Liang Qichao was overjoyed and kowtowed repeatedly: "The emperor is magnanimous and has fulfilled his kindness and righteousness, which is a blessing for all people!"
