Seeing him get straight to the point, Yang Rui immediately stood up, looked deeply at everyone, and then sat down and said, "Fortunately, Brother Shaoquan knows me, otherwise I don't know what year it will take to meet you." As Brother Shaoquan knows, my original intention was to write books to earn money and live freely, but last month, the Russians occupied China's northeast, and the Japanese had ill intentions, and if China continued like this, it would die sooner or later. ”
For Yang Rui, Mr. Lin Zheng is very familiar with the West, this person is lazy, rarely shows up in the school, only heard that he is proficient in Western studies, and later after a long time I know that this person is taking the initiative to teach for free, without taking a penny, usually just shrinking at home to write books and say, it is very important to value righteousness and light on wealth, the society's dinner, Zhang Taiyan's cigarette money seems to be from him, it is very good, and it is also this that brought the YMCA people over. Seeing that such a hermit-like person also came to make a revolution, he was still very surprised, he thought that it was Uncle Zhang Mei who was going to make trouble, but he and Uncle Zhang Mei had already revolutionized together, so he asked: "Actually, this time there have been discussions with Uncle Zhang, the people, etc., and everyone is determined to make a revolution together?" ”
Yang Rui secretly hated when he heard this, if he could really make up his mind with a few of them, would he come to Tokyo in such a hurry, and he didn't want to deceive and said honestly: "I told Uncle Mei about the revolutionary ideas, he has a lot of opinions, the people of the people, you know that it is a little soft, and it is difficult to decide, and now I am being pulled by the National Association, and I am still ready to be loyal to the monarch and patriotism, I am basically a singles revolution now, and I came to Tokyo to find like-minded people." ”
Lin Ji was very strange and said, "Isn't Uncle Mei advocating revolution now, how can he not talk about the same thing as Jingcheng?" ”
Seeing that he asked the key point, Yang Rui said: "It's rare that everyone is here, I'll say my proposition again, let everyone know what I think, and discuss it again if you agree or not."
Lin Ji and the others agreed, Yang Rui cleared his throat and began to speak of his revolutionary ideas: "Today, all those who have a sense of wisdom think that if China does not change, the country will be destroyed, and these people are divided into two major parts for various reasons, one is to say that it will be improved under the rule of the Ming monarch, so that China can become rich and strong; The other part is our revolutionaries, who all think that the Manchu court is too heavy to return, and it cannot save China through the guò revolution. Everyone agreed with this and nodded their heads.
Speaking of this, Yang Rui changed his words and said: "But these revolutionaries have different ideas from each other, some of them are full of revolutionaries, some are republican revolutionaries, of course, many people recognize both the full row and the republic. The former unanimously believes that China's weakness is due to the alien rule of the Manchu Qing, while the latter believes that China's weakness is due to the emperor's ** rule; The former believes that as long as the Manchus are eliminated and the Han people are in power, China will be rich and strong, while the latter believes that as long as the ** is eliminated and the Western republic is implemented, China will be rich and strong. The former is to preach national hatred and arouse the national spirit, while the latter is to preach democracy and freedom and to achieve national prosperity and strength through the pursuit of civil rights and independence.
I think that the Pai Manchu revolution can only allow the Han people to be in power, but it cannot change the status quo in China, can the Han people change the status quo when they are in power, I don't think so, there are so many dynasties from ancient times to the present, but there are a few truly wise monarchs, and now this shape is a great change that has not been seen in three thousand years, and it is not something that a wise monarch can deal with.
As for the republican revolution, China has more than 2,000 years of imperial ** tradition, can it be changed to a republic overnight? Which of those republics abroad is rich and strong as a republic, but the United States is okay, it only became strong more than a hundred years after its founding, and there are no twists and turns in between; Relatively speaking, France is miserable, in the eighty-two years the revolution came and went, back and forth five times, an average of once every sixteen years, the republican monarchy tossed back and forth, and finally now the Third Republic is stable. There is a question here, why the United States and France are both republics, how to make such a big difference after the establishment of the country, I think there are two factors: one is that although France is close to the sea, it is still a domestic 6 countries, next to it are all powerful countries, and there is a Britain by the sea to make it bad, Britain's diplomatic thinking is to never let the European big 6 be dominant, it is best that all countries on the big 6 are at war with each other, and the United States does not have this problem, it is on both sides of the sea, and there is only one Mexico next to it, which is slightly larger, but Mexico is also very weak, Second, France has more than a thousand years of monarchical tradition, while the United States does not, she is a completely new country, there is no recognized nobility and royal power, everyone has fled from Europe, and no one is higher than whom.
Now you look at me, China, how similar it is to France. There are six countries in the country, surrounded by powerful countries, Japan in the east, Russia in the north, France in the south, Britain in the west, and there are more than 2,000 years of imperial tradition. Therefore, I am opposed to simply filling up the revolution, which is just a vent of hatred, which will not be beneficial to China in the slightest to change the status quo, and I am also opposed to the republican revolution, the current republican system is not suitable for China, of course, it will not be suitable forever, and it will take a lot of time and a lot of effort to really get to the point of the republic.
My revolutionary proposition is limited revolution, centralized government, in-depth reform, and the rejuvenation of China! What is called a limited revolution means that you can occupy as much territory as you have, and when you don't have the power to accept the whole country, you still have to maintain the status quo and have the strength to take over the whole country, and then you can make a full-scale revolution. China's reform is like repairing a house, if you don't have enough manpower, then only build one room, don't move other places, if you don't get it right, the house will be more troublesome to clean up.
What is a centralized government, that is, the establishment of a centralized government in the occupied territories after the revolution, and the prohibition of orders. Gentlemen, look at why Japan has become stronger so quickly, is it because it has become democratic after the constitutional monarchy, no, it has become more centralized, there were many shogunates before, and now the shogunate is gone, and there is only one order in the whole of Japan, which is a big foundation for Japan to become stronger.
In addition, we are a nation with a history of more than 3,000 years, and now the world is prosperous in Western learning, many of our ideas, culture, and customs are incompatible with the current world, China really wants to become stronger, these must be innovated, this so-called deep reform, not only social reform, system reform, but also ideological reform, cultural reform.
We have a 3,000-year-old heritage, are we lagging behind foreigners, no! We have been until the Ming Dynasty is still a world power, many foreigners come to China and do not want to go back, and the description of China's prosperity makes other people simply unable to believe, in the Yuan Dynasty a man named Marco Polo came to China, arrived in Hangzhou, and then went back to write a book called Marco Polo's Travels, the heavenly China in the book, no one in Europe dared to believe it, they thought it was made up by him. Are we Chinese stupider than foreigners, isn't it! Gunpowder was known to us, and then passed to the foreigners when Genghis Khan conquered Europe, and the sealed cabin of ships in our Tang Dynasty was not secretly learned by the British until a hundred years ago. Our revolution is to establish a centralized government, and we have established a centralized government for in-depth reform, to sweep away the dross of thousands of years, and only in this way can China be rejuvenated. That's the end of my speech, thank you. ”
Yang Rui's lengthy words were finally finished, and the audience burst into untidy and warm applause, although so, he didn't care, this preaching is the same as doing sales, there are always some others don't like to hear, it doesn't matter if you don't like it, the key is to know where you don't like it, and then talk about it in a different way next time. After a while, someone asked a question, and he said: "Sir said that you want a limited revolution, and not to overthrow the Manchus immediately?" Yang Rui nodded and motioned for him to continue asking, "Then the Manchu Qing Dynasty is immortal, can the regime established by the limited revolution survive, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom Uprising back then, such a momentum was still exterminated by the Manchu Qing and the foreigners, how can the government established by Mr. not repeat the mistakes of the past?" ”
As soon as this question was asked, everyone nodded, this is the biggest weakness of Yang Rui's proposition, he thought about this problem when he was on the ship, so he said confidently: "The Taiping Heavenly Kingdom is a comprehensive revolution, first he wants to overthrow the Manchu Qing and stand on his own, secondly, it promotes the worship of God, burns down the Temple of Literature and opposes Confucianism, which makes it difficult for the gentry to agree with and accept, again, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom is fighting for power within the country, and the chaos is abnormal, it is difficult for me to understand why it has survived for more than ten years after occupying Nanjing." The so-called limited revolution will never propagate the full capacity and will not be the king from the beginning, and after the revolution, it will unite the majority of the people and carry out in-depth reforms step by step to strengthen its strength. To put it bluntly, after the revolution, our identity was actually a local governor and governor without the consent of the Manchus, and the Manchus would definitely come to exterminate us, but how many of its troops could fight, not much, even the most powerful Beiyang New Army in the country was only three towns, and they had not yet been fully trained, so could other armies fight? Therefore, if the Manchus could not win on the battlefield, then the result would probably be Zhao'an or peace talks, so that the government would have zài. ”
Some people were silent and considered carefully, but some people immediately stood up and said angrily: "According to what Mr. said, after this revolution, you still want to be a subordinate of the Manchu Qing Dynasty?" ”
In fact, there is this possibility, such as short-term strategic recruitment, for example, Yang Rui saw a book that traveled through the late Qing Dynasty to carry out land reform in Anhui, but this is a face problem, which seems to be unacceptable to the current revolutionaries, Yang Rui did not want to argue, and replied: "It's just peace talks, not surrender, and it will be ...... in the end."
The short student's face was flushed, and he said excitedly: "If you don't listen to this kind of revolutionary proposition!" After saying that, he left, and when he left, there were still a few people who left. Yang Rui did not persuade, these people were meant to be abandoned, people who were too angry were not suitable for themselves, relatively speaking, he preferred intellectual revolutionaries to courageous revolutionaries, but all revolutionaries were basically courageous.
After the people dispersed, in the end, there were only three of them, Lin Ji's brothers and sisters and Xie Xiaoshi, Yang Rui couldn't help but feel cold in his heart, but then forcibly expelled this loss. Lin Ji was a direct person, he said: "It's done, I know why you can't talk to Uncle Mei, hey, these people in our YMCA are also extremely hateful, so it's hard to talk to you." ”
Yang Rui nodded, and said self-deprecatingly: "Only when the row is full is the revolution, what is the life if it is not full." But everyone doesn't want to think about it, can only a full platoon save the country? ”
Lin Ji understood people and said: "But this is the trend of the times, and it turns out that you think of revolutionaries too well, who will talk about revolution if you are not full of anger?" Once there is no anger, the momentum of the revolution will be gone. ”
Yang Rui understood at this time why the north and the south had peace talks after the abdication of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and one of the most important reasons was that the revolutionaries thought that the Manchu was successful and the revolution was over, so what would they do with the Northern Expedition. Even Sun Zhongshan has no way to do this, he said that he is a leader, it is better to say that it is a signboard, hang it out when it is needed, and remove it when it is not needed. Yang Rui retracted his thoughts and said: "Although this is the case, I still have to stick to my own point of view, otherwise after the Manchu Qing Dynasty is overthrown, these revolutionaries will not be messed up." ”
At this time, Lin Zongsu, Lin Zheng's sister, asked, "Mr. Yang doesn't seem to have any hatred for the Manchus?" ”
Yang Rui smiled and said, "Why don't you have a grudge, you have a big hate." But what can you do with revenge? Can China become rich and strong by killing all the Manchurians? If there really is a day, China will be no different from the French Revolution. ”
