Xin Juan Chapter 43 Resignation
The nest of people in Peking University is really Cai Yuanpei's key point, yesterday the Peking University school magazine was sealed, and today Cai Yuanpei blew up at the meeting, and now he actually wants to fight alone, Yang Rui sneered: "I think it's time to talk about it, otherwise everyone doesn't know what we're doing!"
First of all, I want to make it clear that no one will remember the deceased, even if his family and relatives are very sad when they die, but after more than ten years or decades, no one will remember it at all, and future generations will feel distressed when they mention it at most, but who wants to mention this kind of thing? Family and relatives are like this, not to mention the public, who always care about the present, not the past. That's why I say that the people are cannon fodder, and their lives are cheaper than ants! Only those mouthful literati, in order to achieve a certain goal, will pull out those tragically dead ants again and again to boost their own momentum, they scold the tyrant who killed them, but they don't want to think about how the tyrant came! ”
Yang Rui's first paragraph made Cai Yuanpei look sideways, and the other committee members were also shocked by this, which completely subverted Yang Rui's previous impression - in their opinion, Yang Rui was a great revolutionary leader, who cared about the interests of the country and the nation, and cared about the suffering of the people, but they didn't want him to look at ordinary beings like this in his heart. And Yang Rui, he knows that this kind of thing should not be said or said, but he just wants to say it! He is going to be ousted tomorrow and wait until he goes to the gallows, and he will say it!! Because this kind of pouring out made him feel a pleasure that was doubled by ejaculation, he, the great leader of revolutionaries and the hero of Greater China, wanted to explain the facts and subvert the previous 'prejudices'!!
In everyone's amazement, Yang Rui smiled coldly again. He said: "What is the cause of the revolution? Although I admit that some revolutionaries are indeed dedicated to the country. For the sake of the people, but for the majority of the revolutionaries only for himself! Of course. This kind of 'for their own sake' even they don't know, but. Just as the imperial examination deprived scholars of their way to advancement, and just as democracy allowed ambitious people to see the light of power, these invisible external factors made most people choose revolution.
If you want to say that the Manchus are aliens, and the revolution is to overthrow the oppression of aliens, then I ask you: why did they not resist for more than 200 years? Why didn't there be a revolution in the past 200 years? We guys don't put a powder on our faces! What is great, what is glorious, the revolution is not at all as noble as it is written in the political books. Revolution is just a group of desperate people, a group of restless people who guard themselves, and use all kinds of glamorous slogans to fight for power and profit for themselves. The difference is that it is not just the idea of a few people, it is the resonance of countless people with the same circumstances and aspirations. Revolution and constitutionalism are the same thing, the only difference. It's just that there are more of us! We dare to do more!
Cixi and Guangxu were first for the interests of the Manchu and Han Eight Banners and the gentry and bureaucracy, then for the interests of the Manchu Eight Banners, and finally for the Zhenghuang Banner and the interests of the Yehenala clan. In the Hongyang Rebellion and the First Sino-Japanese War, the gentry saw the possibility of snatching power; The Gengzi Rebellion and the Russo-Japanese War, this kind of cry is getting louder and louder, saying that a constitutional form of government is superior to an autocracy, bullshit! The Russians will lose, except for insufficient logistics. That's when the whole world is pressing Russia to fight; Guangxu's closure of the National Assembly made the gentry completely break with the Manchus, why did we take Beijing and the whole country was convinced? The fundamental reason why the province was subdued when it occupied the provincial capital was that the gentry all over the world supported us and wanted to divide power from us. This is the reason why we pacified the whole country within a few months, and this is also the reason why we could only reduce rents and not land reform.
After that, I sold these gentry to win the Sino-Japanese war! This group of shameless people. The shoulders can not be picked, the hands can not be lifted, and the wind is elegant. Thinking that they are a thing, leaving them will only cause trouble for us; And without their land. If the people are not in chaos now, they will be in chaos in the future. Fortunately, I can make a lot of money in the European war, if I can't make money, I will kill the three million gentry in the country, give the land to the peasant association, and hand over the property to the state treasury.
What is a revolution, this is a revolution! Whatever you say for the sake of the people, it's all fart! What I want is to stabilize the Renaissance regime. Now some people see that Lenin in Russia closed the Constituent Assembly, saying that he was shameless, and asked me to be in his position, and still close this bullshit conference. For revolutionaries, everything is false, being in power is real! Everything else is fucking worthless! ”
Yang Rui's words became more and more unbearable, and several people here wanted to oppose it, but Qiu Jin was stopped by Yang Rui as soon as he spoke, and he shouted: "Didn't you say that you want to quarrel!" Isn't it to be explained! I'll explain everything, everything, right now! ”
"I, Yang Rui, said it here, you all remember: the power is not in our hands, you can boycott classes; The regime is in our hands, no school strikes! In the same way, democracy was preached before, but now it is not proclaimed! Before it could be revolutionary, now it can only be harmonious! This is my final bottom line, and it is also the final bottom line of the Revival Society! Whoever violates it, and who sings the previous democratic songs after he has eaten enough to support himself, is a traitor like Yu Zixun! Also a traitor to the nation of the country!! ”
'Bang'! When Yang Rui said the last sentence, he slapped the table with a slap, which not only startled the people in the house, but also alarmed the people in charge of the guards outside the house, but these people were blocked back by Li Zilong who was standing at the door.
It's quiet outside, it's quieter inside. After Yang Rui's stormy monologue and venting, the entire conference room was as dead as a grave. The old Xu Huafeng, the intelligent Du Yaquan, and Xie Zhangtai, who has long admired elite governance, the three of them are not surprised by Yang Rui's monologue, but these things are hidden in the depths of their hearts and are not spoken; And the confused Xu Guantian, the shocked Qiu Jin, and the panicked but self-righteous Cai Yuanpei, the three of them were all overwhelmed by this storm, and it took a while for Cai Yuanpei to say, "Zixun is not wrong, you are a Napoleon, not Washington at all." ”
"Haha. I said it a long time ago, you and Yu Zixun, the traitor, have long colluded together. Yang Rui also thought he had a plan, he had long wanted to clean up the dirty things between these two people, and he originally wanted to wait until after the European War, but Cai Yuanpei instigated his most sensitive nerve today, and suddenly broke out in advance.
"Zixun, he's not a traitor......" Cai Yuanpei argued, but he was interrupted by Yang Rui after only half a sentence.
"Yu Zixun has done a lot for the revolution, but. He has now stood on the opposite side of the Revival Society, and even more so on the opposite side of the country and the nation! You don't know. He was baptized in New York and believed in Christ. What a strange name is Aaron! I really can't figure out why he went to religion. However, when I think of the sect that he believes, it is the same as that of the American elite. He was ruthless enough, and in order to gain self-respect, he actually began to serve God. Yang Rui sneered.
"You ......" Cai Yuanpei didn't want Yang Rui to even know such a secret thing, he was surprised and said to everyone: "See, the omnipresent spy, I." You, you, those of us, who are not under the watchful eye of the agents? Who is not under the ubiquitous control, what is the regime of the Revival Society, in fact, it is the regime of you, Yang Jingcheng! ”
"Don't change the subject!" Seeing that Cai Yuanpei proposed a new contradiction, Yang Rui immediately broke off. "First of all, tell me what's going on with those people in the School of Liberal Arts of Peking University, what's going on with that Chen Youji and that Hu Shizhi? What the hell do you want to do?! ”
"According to the Constitution of the People's Republic of China, citizens have the freedom to speak out. There is an article in the school journal of Peking University that violates the Constitution. You're going to have the Ministry of Rites seal it. Cai Yuanpei responded calmly.
"Hu Shizhi was photographed back by Yu Zixun, isn't it? Chen Youji used to run a youth magazine because of collusion with Sun Wen and the source of the funds was unknown, and he originally went to Japan, but you invited him back from Japan. Isn't it? There is also Yan Fu's old smoker, old brain, old and immortal. The old wreck is a waste, and you begged him to be the principal. Isn't it? Yang Rui asked. What are you trying to do with all this scheming? Do you want to learn to ridicule and seize power? ”
"Don't live the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain." Cai Yuanpei trembled angrily at this accusation, and his sleeves flicked. The tea cups in front of the table were all poured, and the tea leaves and tea flowed all over the ground. "I'm telling the truth, I'm against your democratic centralism, against your tricky control and ubiquitous spies, and that our revolution will only need to establish a free and democratic state where everyone is equal, not a government that controls everywhere and dictates and dictates at every turn. Peking University is the place where this new trend was created, and only by educating these students to pursue democracy and freedom can we teach the people of the whole country democracy and freedom through them. ”
"Don't say it so noble! It's nothing more than a group of restless people who saw our generation on stage, and they thought that they could take their place. Cai Xiaomin, how can you guarantee that these people are democratic? How can you guarantee that because they advocate democracy, it is not a party like the Bolsheviks that will eventually climb up? Yang Rui asked. You don't know what democracy will bring, you yourself have not experienced democracy, why do you think democracy is suitable for the country now? Why do you think the people will like it? Is it just your boasting?
The Russian revolution taught us that in a country that is not democratic, the result of choosing democracy is to bring the most brutal dictatorial party to power. Democracy dismantled the original social structure and overthrew stable government control, which seemed to give freedom to the people, but the people who were accustomed to autocracy still admired violence, why did the Bolsheviks come to power? Because they are needed!
There was a chance for a constitutional monarchy in Russia, but the democrats themselves gave it up, driving out the tsar and not allowing his brother to succeed him; They also have a chance for republican democracy, but what did you look at the Provisional Government? They can't do anything well, they mess up everything. The reason why the Russians need a revolution is that Nicholas II was too merciful, they needed a monarch who was more brutal than Nicholas II to torture them, and only then would they be in peace. That's why the British say that people here need whips.
Democracy is not something that comes out of education, and it is not something that you blow out with your mouth cannon. Democracy is the natural result of the accumulation of wealth of the people to a certain degree and the improvement of the people's knowledge and thinking to a certain level. You mouthpieces who think you are asking for the people's life, if you are not selfish, you are pulling out the seedlings and helping them grow!
That's why I often say, we want to be rich, we want to be rich, we want to be fucking rich! Seeing the Germans, if they are not rich and strong, even a deflated country like Siam will go up and beat the water dogs. Do you want to go back to the Manchu era? Do you want Taiwan to be ceded to Japan again? In the next two hundred years, we must all pursue prosperity rather than democracy. Those who preach democracy are either spies or brain-dead, and they can all be dragged out and shot, and for the sake of prosperity and strength, even if hundreds of millions of people die. Stick to it too.
Like I said first, except for those with ulterior motives. No one would mention these people who have been dead for decades or hundreds of years, they. Even us, all of them are cannon fodder ants. Think about it, what kind of strong country is not built on the accumulation of white bones? What kind of powerful country did not rise from the mountain of blood corpses? Europeans and Americans have today, and that is the result of the death of countless Native Americans; And what about us, where is the American continent for us to plunder? All we can do is plunder ourselves! ”
After Yang Rui's tirade was finished, Qiu Jin suddenly stood up and said in a cold voice: "Is it finished?" ”
"I'm done." Yang Rui glanced at her obliquely. Took out a cigarette.
"I'm leaving!" Qiu Jin said, and the words surprised everyone.
There was a 'ding' sound, the lighter went on, and the flame burned on the tobacco with a subtle squeak, and then as it was smoked, the smoke spread from the mouthpiece to the lungs, and after a long time of warmth, they all spit out from the nostrils.
"Yes." After Yang Rui spit out the cigarette. said lightly, without looking at Qiu Jin. But when she packed up her things and opened the door, Yang Rui said again: "You'd better calm down for a few days before ......"
"No, I don't." Qiu Jin's voice was not loud. But resolutely. With that, he opened the door, and the noise outside rushed in through the crack in the door, adding more noise to the tomb-like conference room. But it's only a matter of moments, after the door closes. It's dead dead again.
"Who else wants to leave?" Yang Rui didn't wait for Cai Yuanpei to speak, and then looked at the others.
"Don't you want to examine yourself?" Cai Yuanpei wanted to say this sentence from the beginning. But was preempted by Yang Rui.
"Why should I review?" Yang Rui looked at it and smiled, "What I'm talking about is just something we've been doing, but everyone doesn't dare to admit it; What did I do, and what piece was there for myself? He suddenly laughed and said, "Don't you want to think that without me, we can get to where we are today, and this country can come to this day?" Don't forget, when I was determined to make a revolution, you were still running the Four People's Association, trying in vain to persuade the Qing court to reject Russia. ”
The words of the Four People's Association made Cai Yuanpei's face feverish, but he still said: "It is precisely because of this that we feel that you are too dangerous." Once you are a dictator like Napoleon, who can stop you? ”
"Haha... Haha......" Yang Rui laughed, "I don't need you to stop me, I will resign myself." ”
Yang Rui's statement not only shocked Cai Yuanpei, but Xu Huafeng also jumped up in fright, but before they could react, Yang Rui got up and walked quickly. Xu Huafeng took a step slower and didn't stop, he stomped his feet angrily, he pointed at Cai Yuanpei, he wanted to scold but it was difficult to speak, he only said: "You...... You ......", and chased him out.
Several people went out, and Du Yaquan, who was walking last, grabbed Cai Yuanpei and whispered when he went out: "Xiaomin, what's wrong with you, is it so easy to step down?" ”
"I ......" Cai Yuanpei took off his glasses, took out a handkerchief and wiped the sweat on his forehead, he couldn't understand what was wrong with him today, even if there was such a face-to-face showdown, it would be a matter of the future, and he didn't want to be advanced by him today.
"At this point, you should tell the truth to the outside world, just say that you are worried that no one will be able to suppress it, and you are afraid that he will become a Napoleonic dictator, so you denounce it to your face. Don't talk about any other spies or controls. Dua Quan said.
"Externally?" Cai Yuanpei was still in a state of confusion, and he didn't know what Du Yaquan was talking about.
"You have to pretend that you don't question it because of the Peking University school magazine, you see that everyone believes in it so much, and he is so capable, so you are worried that he will one day become Wang Mang and harm others and himself before forcing a showdown in the palace." Dua Springs. "As soon as he resigned, there was chaos outside, and the reporter asked you, did you say that he was forced to resign for the sake of the Peking University school magazine?"
"I didn't force him to resign, obviously Xuanqing withdrew from the meeting, how can I say that I forced him?" Although Cai Yuanpei understood Du Yaquan's meaning, he still stuck to the details just now.
"If you don't lash out at him today, there is nothing to do now." Du Yaquan blamed. He then asked, "What are you doing at Peking University?" Do you really want to make a joke? ”
"Nothing." Cai Yuanpei immediately denied it, his vision was indeed wandering. "We just want to promote a new culture that celebrates Mr. De and Mr. Sai, that is, democracy and science. But....... You know, Uncle Mei has changed a lot, he can't get out of the quintessence of the country, he is in charge of everything to death, I don't want the current youth to become a dull old pedant, young people must be new! ”
"Hey......" Du Yaquan felt that the purpose of Cai Yuanpei's words was true, but he denied it: "Xiaomin, I believe this is your purpose, but you must know that what Cheng said is not wrong, we are now the time to seek prosperity and strength, not the time to advocate democracy, and for this death and injury of hundreds of millions of people......" Thinking of the figure Yang Rui said, a quarter of the country's population, he paused before he said: "Chengcheng is now avoiding deaths." I think it's worth dying as many people as you want for the sake of the country's strength. ”
"Qiu Fan, many things are said to be like this, but it is not like this when you do it. With the European war, many businessmen made a lot of money, but what about the people, you will only see that the people are hungry due to rising prices, and what is even more ridiculous is that these hungry people still have to be grateful to the court. In particular, he was influenced by Uncle Mei to resist the new culture to the extreme, which would only be more authoritarian than the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and the difference between rich and poor would be better than that of the former Qing Dynasty. Cai Yuanpei said, he began to worry about the country and the people again.
"Isn't the new culture that the people are talking about is the democracy and freedom of the West?" Du Yaquan said, "Do you really want to change Xia with Yi?" ”
"What is Yi? What is Summer? As long as it can bring a good life to the people, bring democracy and freedom, and prevent them from being under an authoritarian tyrant or a dictatorial government, it doesn't matter what they advocate. In the end, the people want to live a good life. Cai Yuanpei said. Don't you see that those religious people believe in religion in order to live without being bullied? ”
As soon as Cai Yuanpei said this, Du Yaquan's eyes immediately changed when he saw him. He finally understood why Yang Rui was resigning, this Cai Xiaomin didn't believe in the quintessence of the country at all, let alone recognized any national culture, in his cognition, as long as China can be made civilized, it doesn't matter if the whole country believes in Christ and uses foreign languages, this is not a power struggle at all, but a struggle of ideas.
"Hey......, people, give up." Dua Springs. "After all these years, you still don't know about it? If you lie to him once or twice, he will let you, and if you don't know it, you will cheat him three or four times, then he will kill you! ”
"I didn't lie to him." Du Yaquan's warning did not wake up Cai Yuanpei, "There is a road that leads to Rome, and I just end up with him on the same path." ”
But in Jingcheng's view, civilizations and cultures are different. He will never allow you to bring Western things into the country," Du Yaquan thought of the question of changing the calendar that Cai Yuanpei had told him several times ago, and warned again, "If you really want to do those things, where will the revival be?" You're overthrowing the Revivah. ”
"I don't care about any civilization and culture, I only know democracy and freedom, and I only pursue democracy and freedom." Cai Yuanpei shook his head heavily, "Qiu Fan, don't forget, I'm a revolutionary, and death can't scare me!" ”
Cai Yuanpei went out after speaking, and left without looking back. Du Yaquan recalled the conversation between the two just now, and the cigarette butt he was smoking was clearly extinguished. (To be continued......)
