Of course, Li Mengyang knew Gu Hongming, and what he knew was all about this man's old man's time, such as the particularly famous "tea pot theory". Men are teapots, so they should have a few more tea cups... Well, this is definitely not the academic reason Li Mengyang found for himself, absolutely not!

Having said that, Gu Hongming was born in a rubber plantation in Malaysia and belonged to the British. His father was a Chinese who moved overseas, and his mother was a white man.

So, strictly speaking, or not very strictly speaking, Gu Hongming is indeed not a citizen of the Qing Dynasty, but, if according to the Qing Dynasty, then Gu Hongming is a citizen of the Qing Dynasty and a citizen to be punished!

The charge is that you went abroad in the Qing Dynasty!

Yes, the person the Qing government despised most was the overseas survivors. This idea was actually passed down from the Ming Dynasty, and the emperors of the Ming Dynasty were the same. Anyway, they looked down on people who were not alive on my land, and you went to foreign countries.

This is all sin!

Just keeping a close eye on the country is just the thought of the whole way.

But now, there are many Chinese people overseas, and they can't take care of the Qing Dynasty, so it's all right. However, Gu Hongming is very powerful, really amazing.

He is now a graduate student at the University of Edinburgh in the UK!

This is amazing!

The University of Edinburgh, as far as the current period of time is concerned, it is the best university at this time, the most famous, most advanced and highest teaching level. This is really not a praising for them, it is indeed the case.

When talking about universities in Britain, they are like Li Mengyang. He must have thought of Cambridge and Oxford. But in fact, now, when Li Mengyang came, he realized that the University of Edinburgh was so well-known.

Darwin is a graduate of others. Maxwell, the most awesome electrical theory, graduated here, although he had previously set up the Cavendish Laboratory in Cambridge...

In fact, in this day and age, the British are indeed the most powerful in science and education. This is a reality, and Li Mengyang cannot deny this objective existence.

So, this Gu Hongming is really an amazing person. The key is that he is still very young. He is only twenty years old this year!

The Qing Dynasty was quite concerned about such a person because the American Empire had caused many people to study abroad. The Qing court also knew about this and they wanted to compete. Gu Hongming, a young man, is very good, and he has not expressed his political tendencies yet.

That is, is he from the New Tang Dynasty? Or is he from the Qing Dynasty?

The Qing Dynasty really threw out a lot of olive branches. Simply put, it was to constantly praise Gu Hongming, and even give him some honorary subjects, which was the matter of the imperial examination and gave him a title of juren. Now he should have been a Jinshi.

This is also an ideological battle, but Gu Hongming has never expressed much.

But not long ago, Gu Hongming finally responded!

He wrote an article, but I won’t talk about the literary talent in this article. The most important thing is that he scolded Empress Dowager Cixi!

Of course, it is impossible for people to speak very badly by being a cultural person, so the words are still very particular, but anyone who reads this article will be very clear, just scolding Cixi. Simply put, it is...

Why do you, the old lady, have to occupy the pit and not poop?

To start, it is that since Empress Dowager Cixi has already let her own son take power, you should delegate power. Now, the Qing Dynasty and the whole country hope to accelerate the reform of constitutional monarchy, but you actually came out to suppress it... Although Cixi did a clean job, everyone could see that she is now the real person in power, and she was still sick before Tongzhi, which was just right.

The point of the scolding is that Cixi, you stop the democratic process of the Qing Dynasty!

This article is really bad, which makes the Qing Dynasty very passive, so the Qing Dynasty wanted to deal with it coldly.

Yes, it doesn’t exist as this article. Anyway, this article is also scolded in the UK. Our Qing Dynasty will not be affected by any influence!

This idea cannot be said to be wrong, because the communication is still relatively closed. Although there is a telegram in the Qing Dynasty, it is really a struggle to write an article with the UK.

But the current situation is different. There are many Chinese overseas. These Chinese are actually divided into two factions, one is the Qing Dynasty, and the other is the New Tang Dynasty.

Needless to say, those who support the New Tang Dynasty, but those who support the Qing Dynasty are interesting. They actually have a lot of dissatisfaction with the Qing Dynasty, especially the issue of constitutional monarchy reform.

They also felt that the pace of reform in the Qing Dynasty was a bit slow!

Yes, that is, they also love their motherland and hope that their motherland will be good. So, now there is a very sharp article written by a famous genius boy. This boy also meets the requirements of your Qing people, so...

This article was brought back by overseas Chinese businessmen and spread. Once they entered the Qing Dynasty, there would be a telegram!

Then this time, it's good!

The battle has a theoretical basis. You see, overseas Chinese are knowledgeable, foreign monks are good at chanting scriptures, and they are our own people...

So, many people started a new round of attacks, and the main target of this attack was Cixi!

The famous ones include Yang Shenxiu, there is also a young man named Kang Youwei, and many others...

Just these individuals, Li Mengyang looked at the United States, and he was so lucky!

Isn’t this a reform?

Yes, the main members, and the reform and reform were actually the royalists who were reforming the law. What they wanted to maintain was the legal dominance of Guangxu at that time, and now, they naturally maintained Tongzhi.

Cixi, this old lady is not an ordinary person. Her control over power is much better than her son. In other words, this old lady is not something you can scold if you want to. If you want to scold, it will cost you.

But now, everyone has a theoretical basis for scolding...

The famous young people studying abroad have scolded you, which means that you, an old lady, have been thrown away from abroad. So what's wrong with us scolding you?!

And this scolding soon returned to that issue, that is, constitutional monarchy reform must be accelerated!

This time, this public opinion pressure is very, very strong. Cixi originally suppressed this matter, but she couldn't stand it anymore.

How strong are you?

Not long ago, the advisory committees from all over the Qing Dynasty selected a group of representatives, including Northeast China, North China, Yunnan and Guizhou, Guangdong and Guangxi, Jiangsu and Zhejiang...

Anyway, if you can basically join in the fun, then you will all come!

With so many local advisory boards, they have selected representatives with 5,000 people, so they can go to Beijing.

"We must enter constitutionalization early!"

"We need to speed up the reform!"

"Empress Dowager Cixi! Please do your true return to power!"

These five thousand people found a place closest to the imperial city when they arrived in the capital, sat quietly and pulled a banner!

This attitude is very obvious. It is forcing you to reform immediately. You must reform according to our requirements. It is necessary, hurry up!

All five thousand people have come out, and what is the state of the entire Qing Dynasty?

You know, there were also many newspapers in the Qing Dynasty at this time. In fact, there were newspapers before, but the people rarely read those newspapers. Now, there are modern newspapers in the Qing Dynasty, which are similar in form to the West, or in other words, many of these newspapers were hosted by Westerners.

Then these newspapers have not followed up?

It was a public outcry!

When Meng Fanyong came, it happened to be the peak of this public opinion, and these public opinions were really forced to death!

"According to heaven, the emperor ordered that the constitutional matter should be established, and the matter should be investigated in a large way. Three years of constitutional matters are difficult to make people difficult! Six years of constitutional matters!... Such things should not be used to put pressure on the court, otherwise it should be more serious..."

An edict has been issued!

This is to tell the world, which means that three years of constitutional establishment is too fast and I can't stand it. We have been here for six years, only six years!

In fact, if the constitution is established for six years, according to the current process, it will be three years later.

This speed is very good. You can wait for another three years. In fact, it is estimated that the relevant procedures will be initiated in two years. Moreover, this requirement is the mainstream opinion of the representatives of the Advisory Council before.

If you want to say that this matter should be settled like this, right?

However, after Meng Fanyong found out about the news, he remembered what His Majesty the Emperor said to him before he left.

"No matter how the Qing court does it or how fast it is, it will not be satisfactory..."

Just one sentence, this is not an instruction. This is what I said when talking about the specific situation of the Qing Dynasty at this time. So what the Emperor said, this...

According to Meng Fanyong's opinion, the sincerity shown by the Qing court is already very good, what else can we do?

Constitutional establishment, do you know what to do?

Only His Majesty the great Emperor of the New Tang Kingdom can do it. Only he has such profound knowledge and profound wisdom... Meng Fanyong silently said in his heart that more than 500 words...

Obviously, the Qing court did enough, can’t it be better to wait for another two years?

So, what was the answer given by the Qing people?

no!

The five thousand people received the promise of six years of constitutionalism, and they dispersed. This matter was good. The Qing court was very happy, but unexpectedly, it was not long before the New Year was over, and the end of the year in 1877 had just passed.

Those representatives from the Advisory Council have returned!

It's still an old place, an old banner, but this time...

fifty thousand!

This number is not only the people from the Advisory Council, but there must be other people with old noses, and their request this time...

Next year!? Will we be constitutionalized next year?? (To be continued...)

ps: Thank you Brother Feng! Thank you for your support and rewards! Thank you for the black car!

So what, the temperature drops sharply, please pay attention to adding clothes!
