Chapter 166 Peace and War (1)
Regarding these situations, Zheng Yu has firmly grasped the latest progress through omnipresent information channels from the very beginning.
All this was not beyond his expectations.
He is self-aware.
He can defeat Mu Tie, Japan, and Russia. He can gather the army, tame bureaucratic machines, and guide the will of the people to the direction he wants. But he is also very clear that it is difficult for him to change the logic of thoughts and behaviors deep in people's hearts.
The country's too long-standing natural farming economy, unified autocratic system, and the "harmonious" culture of etiquette and ethics of the ruler, minister, father and son have deeply immersed the whole country in a pure and inaction-oriented and optimistic and destiny-knowing temperament. After the Opium War, Western civilization sarcasm and humiliation of Chinese traditions. Zheng Ying introduced Western learning and advocated the revolution triggered by nationalism and hatred of Manchu thought. Although it strongly impacted these traditional concepts, the entire country's civilization traditions that have been passed down for thousands of years, and the deep-rooted concepts still exist stubbornly and secretly in the hearts of most citizens, dominating all their thoughts and actions.
It is easy for him to understand that for these people who have not actually got rid of the traditional concept of "the things in the Celestial Empire are all treasures, and everything is not available", the local concept is very strong. For some cowardly citizens, strong force can certainly defend their families and the country, but if they go to the point of being poor, according to the convention of the Chinese dynasties, the more war the people are, the more suffering the country is, the poorer the country is, and eventually they will embark on the old path of the Tang and Wu revolution. Rather, since the Japanese entered the vassal state and North Korea was restored, Siam was already in a mess, and even the arrogant Russians have retreated, what else is there to be dissatisfied? Why force others to think?
This simple traditional Chinese thinking is the result of the thousands of years of Confucian ethics education in China, and it is also the normal result of historical insights and the cultural tradition that is naturally derived after the expansion of natural farming economies to the natural boundaries.
But Zheng Yu knew that he could not and would not stop the war at this time.
But he understood many things, but it did not mean that everyone else could understand. He had been connecting some forces to prepare to launch a propaganda offensive at the right time. Now, the anti-war and peace forces have surfaced, and it was time for him to take action.
However, what surprised him was that someone was ahead of him.
Li Da has returned to Beijing.
This constitutional expert, who was hired by Zheng Ying and his son, returned from Russia, witnessed Zheng Yu suppressing the rebellion after Mu Tie Mutiny, and led the dissatisfaction of the people to corrupt officials, especially some mixed forces in the local area, and always kept a low profile.
He silently observed Zheng Yu's actions and watched him win over the rights of the local government on the one hand, and delegate power to the local Senate to mobilize the national participation in politics. He was observing and thinking.
The flag bearer of the local autonomy theory smiled at some secret sentiments from local autonomy powers and turned to travel across the country. Now, Li Da, who returned to Beijing, submitted his research report to Zheng Yu, and then publicly expressed his views.
Because Li Da had traveled to Europe and the United States and stayed in Russia for a long time and observed his articles quickly gained attention from all walks of life. Once published on the newspaper, major newspapers rushed to reprint it.
In Li Da's opinion, the war has indeed reached a crossroads, and the empire is in a very favorable position. But at this time, it is not as simple as stopping when it is better. European and American powers advocate the law of the jungle. In Western history, all powerful countries rely on war to gain recognition from the great powers and become a strong country club with the right to speak. Although the empire's national battle was already a complete victory, Russia would never be willing to submit, and the European powers were always watching the signs of weakness in China and then taking tough actions.
At this time, if you take a step back, the other party may have to make several steps forward. Once your momentum is weak, the enemy who is already in trouble will develop new fighting spirit.
In Li Da’s view, there are many internal contradictions in Russia, and the Tsar’s rule has always relied on strong suppression, and now it is approaching the critical point of the outbreak.
As long as China continues to maintain pressure, the suppressed contradictions within Russia will sooner or later break out under the trigger of a fuse. But once China relaxes at this time, it will be equivalent to giving Russia a chance to breathe. As long as this terrible military country takes a breath, it can confront China with the support of the great powers. It will be hard to say who will win in the end.
At this time, Li Da simply pointed out without any hidingly that now it is "who can't stand the air first". It is obvious that China still has some strength now, and the situation in Russia is deteriorating. In Li Da's view, China will stop when it is better. The kindness released will not only not make the Russians feel uncomfortable, but will instead make them take a breath and make a comeback. He believes that fantasy that Russia will be willing to admit defeat is just a whisper, because "the authority of the Tsar is based on military affairs. Until the end of the road, the Romanov monarch cannot accept a peace treaty that has not won, especially a possible cedes of territory."
The second one to take action was even more of a person Zheng Yu didn't expect.
Almost at the same time as Li Da, the China Times published an article with the pseudonym "Fuhua".
At the beginning of the article, the author proposed that "everyone who discusses peace talks with Russia now has their own hearts and puts benefits above the country: or lacks international political vision and cannot understand the situation of countries in the world today. This "return to China and then wrote that "this battle is a great opportunity for China in the past century. If you miss it, you may regret it for a hundred years." He pointed out that "In this national war, the Russians took the initiative to attack me, and the axioms are in me, and our country has gained many help in the international community, and the Russians lost their power.
The few supporters: The country was suddenly defeated, the domestic situation was moved, and even the Tsar himself was patrolling the war zone and was unable to return to the capital. This was the opportunity for our army to pacify the remaining bandits in one go. Once the tiger returned to the mountain, the north would be unstable. After this battle, the Russians would inevitably regard our China as a major enemy of life and death. If our army was disarmed, the Chinese and Russians would have thought that if they did not disarm, the country would have a hard time resting. If we take it again, our country would have no name and it would have a rare international financial support this time."
In his opinion, since this is the case, it is better to "attack the terrified defeated army with victorious soldiers, wipe out the remnants of the Russians east of the North Sea, and advance Central Asia to promote the collapse of the situation in Russia, prompt civil strife, force Russia to take the initiative to seek peace and accept our conditions and restore our homeland, and sheep cannot station heavy troops in the east." Then the plight of the two countries can be solved. Only then can we talk about rest and recuperation.
Zheng Yu knew that he was Hu Hanmin, the assistant of the president of the Chinese Democratic Revolutionary Party, who set out from Hawaii before the war, first settled on loan in Shanghai. Later, he saw more and more things in the country, and finally came to the Chinese community to confess his identity, saying that "I hope to carefully examine it in the country and contribute to the country." Zheng Yu had some impression of this person, knowing that in another time and space, this person is famous for his integrity and integrity, but his power and self-esteem are also strong. However, he neither attaches too much importance to these people nor has he doubted them. History has changed, where do these people go? They are also in the development of history. If you want them, you should go up, if you want them, you should go down, and if you want national authority, Zheng Yu has a heroic spirit that looks down on the world heroes.
In this way, Hu Zhantang also embarked on the road of travel, from east to west, from south to north, when he arrived in Beijing, he visited Beizhu directly, and met a group of literati and scholars from Beijing to find a teaching assistant position in the Department of Sociology of the Imperial University, and usually write articles.
This time, this high-profile attack made Zheng Yu smile. As expected, he is a well-known figure in history, but he still can't stand the loneliness and has to try his skills.
As soon as this article in the "Huaxia Times" was released, some literati who had been watching and hesitating seemed to smell a certain smell and began activities one after another.
For a moment, the rampant voice of peace talks was met with open and hidden arrows from all directions.
Some people waved the "Dao" stick, and directly criticized the Lord and the people from the perspective of "national and nation" and even directly revealed the old truths of many people. For example, Zhang Moumou's master was because his only son was on the front line. He wanted to use his relationships to transfer to the back-level military station several times but failed: Li Moumou's master was forced to pay heavy taxes because of his family's property, while Li Shishi has always been stingy: Zhao Moumou has always had close contacts with European and American clubs in Dongjiaominxiang, and is likely to have followed the will of some foreign "friendly countries".
Some tell the story of the ancients Temujin and Nurhaci's defeats and rises several times, and propose "eliminating evil all" and there are so-called "The Kingdom of Rakshasa and the Captains are actually a cliff of the same hill, both of which are left of animals in the Northern Di. If this inferior nation is not completely eradicated, it will sooner or later cause trouble for China." Some tell the story of Russian adventurers such as Peter Khabarov, hooligans and bandits eating human flesh in Heilongjiang, loudly intimidating, "If you don't wake up quickly, then your descendants of your family will sooner or later feed the Rakshasa people."
The representative of the "new school" in the Huanghan School is Zhang Binglin.
q When Liang Qichao launched the "People's Livelihood Research Association", Zhang Binglin directly brought a group of young emperors into the scene and was sent to smash the scene. He still had a close relationship with Liang Qichao. When the propaganda minister Tan Sitong, who had an ambiguous attitude on the issue of war, heard the news and personally brought the police to "persuade" these people back halfway.
Zhang Binglin looked at Liang Qichao's unremitting establishment of the "Hanjiān" organization. In a fit of anger, he pointed to Liang Qichao's name in the imperial and Han publication "Han Feng" and cursed, "There were ministers from the Song Dynasty who were famous for Liang Shicheng, and now there were people who deceived the world and stole the reputation of the emperor and Han beasts, and sold the land of the emperor and Han beasts in the country, and cut off the unfilial disciples of the ancestors of the emperor and Han family. This thief established the Minli Party with the evil saying of the Western barbarians' civil rights, and planned to shake our imperial and Han nationality in front, inciting peace, and chaotic and war in the later period. It was really a shame." Zhang Binglin followed Liang Qichao's "
The ancestors, Liang Ji, the minister of the Eastern Han Dynasty, said, and talked about Liang Shicheng, Liang Qichao, and openly proposed that "Liang Ji is specialized in government affairs and poisons the king: Liang Shicheng is a eunuch and lives in "hidden prime minister" to disrupt the court, and hostage the saint king, leading to the overthrow of the emperor and Song Dynasty. Now the Liang clan..." is almost cursing that "the mistake of the king and the country is the inheritance of the ancestors." Later, even Yao Lin, the deputy editor-in-chief of the Great Han Imperial People's Daily, could not stand it, and coaxed and persuaded Zhang Binglin to "see the development of the current situation first" and "not in a hurry to destroy this villain."
Liang Qichao was scolded by Zhang Binglin, so he naturally refused to give up. He immediately published an article in the mouthpiece of the Citizen Party, Xinmin Congbao, to retort, "Now there is a Zhang family who is arguing about the debate between China and the barbarians. He has always divided the people of our country with the advantages and disadvantages of race and encouraged right and wrong. He also advocated the etiquette of the Three Bonds and Five Constant Persons as the foundation of the country, ignoring the vast tide of democracy and democracy in the contemporary tide of democracy and democracy, and ignoring the trend of integration of the Chinese nation. The situation in the country is subtle, and knowledgeable people are all pragmatic, but these people often boast about the emperor and Han, and the party is the same to attack the differences, and they will scold them as Han jiān if they have any disagreements... It is really a shame for the people, such people are talking big, which is useless to the country, but you are just fools..."
Zhang Binglin was naturally furious. Other emperor and Han backbones such as Cao Qinxi and others even rolled up their sleeves and went on stage, and started a fight with Liang Qichao and others. For a while, "Han Feng" and "Xinmin Congbao" said that they were Han Jiān, and they said that they were traitors, which was very lively.
At this moment, a bombshell came out of the cage.
The China Times published an article with the pseudonym "Duxiu".
The name Duxiu was only a little famous in Shanghai before. Since Chen Qingtong went north and gradually became a big pen in Beijing, vaguely becoming a big pen around Beizhu. Now the debate is in full swing, Duxiu has made a fortune, and Luoyang paper is expensive for a while.
The name of "Duxiu" is directly pointed out that "the national war today is a battle for the survival of the nation, and it is also a battle for the foundation of the nation's thousand-year foundation. Today's achievements will not only affect the present world, but will also benefit the descendants and descendants for generations. Once the short-sightedness is made, all previous efforts will be wasted, and disasters will inevitably last for generations."
"Duxiu" starts with the development history of powerful countries in the East and West, and denounced the autocratic monarchs of China who went to war either to show off their martial arts or to keep their name in history, but to do not want to expand national strength and improve people's livelihood. Therefore, the national war "only spending but lacking profits, and to show off their martial arts in vain, but not colonizing and expanding long-term stability. This kind of monarch is concerned that it is difficult to rule in remote areas. Regardless of the county or feudalism, it can become a source of chaos and shake the foundation of one family and one family, so it is the world of one family and one family and misleading our people."
The wars of Western powers "all aim to expand commercial interests and obtain colonial territory, so Greece became hegemony through external colonization, Macedonia expanded into an empire through external colonization, Rome dominated the Mediterranean by expanding colonization, Spain became a continental power and South America through expansion, Britain continued to expand colonization, and the Duchy of Moscow formed today's Tsarist Russia through expansion." "Duxiu" concluded that "it can be seen that all wars with the purpose of commercial interests and expansion of national foundation are necessary for strong countries and also necessary for national economic development." He entered the
It is pointed out that "the economy and people's livelihood of our empire are not the natural economy of farming. The rejuvenation of China is due to the prosperity of Western learning, and the sages of China have learned the correct origin and the combination of Chinese and Western cultures, forging my new Chinese concept that has never been seen before. Promote industry and commerce, strengthen national defense, forge the country, and restore the spirit of China's martial arts. Today's country's population is 450 million, accounting for one-quarter of the world, and the area of the country is only one-in-one of the world." Therefore, 1 "In China today, the population is already dense, and the population will reproduce and grow in the future, where will the land come? Industry and commerce prosper, where will the mineral forest come from?"
"Duxiu" further describes the richness of Russia's Far East and Siberia, the rivers and grasslands in Central Asia are crisscrossing, and the grasslands are abundant, pointing out that "the treasures are hidden under such lands are not known. However, based on the mineral exploration in our northeast, it can be inferred that it should be a treasure house for the underground." He further pointed out that "China has been governing and circulating for thousands of years, with limited land and scarce resources, and farmland has been barren after years of farming, and the population has multiplied and exceeded the carrying capacity of the country. Looking at the European and American countries, farmers often ploughed, while the land that has been farmed for thousands of years in my country still ploughed every year. In the long run, the land becomes more barren and the population becomes more prosperous, and there will be times of poverty."
"Duxiu" then proposed that "the strong nation of China must abandon the tradition of fighting with the reputation of defeating, and use the benefits of industry and commerce and people's livelihood to expand. All the gains are the resources of a strong country. The more we fight, the stronger our country will become, and the more we fight, the weaker our enemy will become." He also proposed that "the key to national policy is to let the people share the benefits of war, so that the people will be happy to fight, and the country will have no worries about the destruction of the country."
"Duxiu" concluded that "the Russians are now defeated, but their vitality is not damaged and their national power is not weak. Once they are recuperating, they will definitely be a disaster for China. Therefore, when they stop at this moment, they will only gain the so-called false reputation of victory, or even false reputation cannot be obtained, and the real benefits are even more limited. In this battle, they should pursue the death of the north, completely restore the old land of the Beiting Protectorate, and restore the Palacio Mountains in Central Asia, the former land of the Anxi Protectorate in the West Sea, immigrate to the real border, repair the roads, open factories and mines, and open up the formation roads. In this way, we can talk about the revival of China and lay the foundation for the prosperity of our empire for thousands of years.
As soon as this article was published, the domestic war-holding faction seemed to have gained a treasure, and the industry and commerce had more thoughts. The Emperor and Han faction was even more excited. Zhang Binglin personally wrote it and praised the "unique" for "the only one is as famous as his name, and he is the outstanding hero of the Emperor and Han Dynasty." "Xinmin Congbao" was hit and lost his voice for a while.
At this moment, another bombshell came out.
The China Times published a great article with the pseudonym "Dongfan", which made all the peace factions and even the war factions stunned at that time.
The title of this article is "Restoring the land of the ancestors of China and liberating the humiliating and oppressing of Chinese Miao descendants for hundreds of years - looking at the Asian nation from a historical perspective."
At the beginning, the "Dongfan" seriously pointed out that "through history and examining the people's conditions, we can see that all Central Asian nations and Siberian nations are Chinese Miao people. Our Chinese rejuvenation is not only the main lineage of China, but also the Chinese Miao people must help Chinese Miao people get rid of the oppression of the Russians by the barbaric chauvinism.
Let them return to the arms of the mother tribe of China. If we want to be alone and let my children and brothers suffer deep humiliation, we will be called China in vain”!
