Yuan Su nodded while thinking about Yang Du's words. In terms of knowledge of national political history, he was indeed not as knowledgeable as Yang Du. He also believed that Yang Du was not a person who coveted glory and wealth, and he was definitely not
It is purely an accomplice tool of those in power. As a political scholar, the other party clearly has his reasons for unswervingly proposing the monarchy.
To be honest, in the process of China's modern history from 1911 to 1949, the state system was not an important thing in the country or even the entire nation. It was nothing more than an excuse borrowed and used by some people in power.
However, the timing of Yuan Shikai's proclaimed emperor was not appropriate. Not only was he too hasty, but the early preparations were not done properly, so he ultimately failed. How could he not fall into internal troubles if he hurriedly proclaimed himself emperor without even settling the internal affairs of Beiyang?
The situation of foreign invasion?
As for Yuan Su, he still doesn't care what kind of change the state system should be. He has already made a clear definition before. As long as it is beneficial to his own development, it can be either a monarchy or a republic. Even he has been talking about it.
The "central yang centralization" is nothing more than a cover.
"From what you said, sir, it seems that you already have quite a lot of insights?"
“I’m not sure of my opinion, but I and several colleagues have been studying this aspect over the years. China has been thinking about how to become stronger for decades, but why did it end up in the current predicament? Isn’t this a question worth pondering?
Where?" Yang Du said seriously.
"It makes sense." Yuan Su nodded slowly and responded.
"In my opinion, it is precisely because China's position is not firm and I think that whichever country is strong should imitate that country. In the end, I haven't learned anything about it yet, so I went to learn from the other side, and the result is nothing.
On the contrary, it makes people laugh." Yang Du said slowly and gradually.
"Mr. Nayi, which country should China follow?" Yuan Su asked following Yang Du's words.
"It's not about which country we follow to make a strong country. The problem lies precisely in perseverance. Through reform and strengthening, every country can finally get rid of the fate of national ruin and family destruction and become a civilized country respected by the world.
, everything lies in the word "persistence". I, the Chinese, have been on the road for decades in vain. I have taken one step, stopped one step, stopped one step and changed the direction again, and finally found that the direction was wrong, stopped and changed the direction again. The result is
What? The result is that we are standing still." Yang Du spoke in a preaching tone as if he were a university professor.
"If you think about it carefully, it is exactly what Mr. Wang said. Alas, the most regrettable thing about the country's revitalization is that it no longer fails, but that it continues to take the wrong path without hesitation despite knowing that it is wrong. Why is this necessary?" Yuan Su
He said with emotion. From the perspective of "speech" skills alone, he still admired Yang Du. He not only explained the profound political history in a popular way, but also made vivid metaphors.
Of course, he still knew very well in his heart that no matter how vivid Yang Du's words were or how good the metaphor was, these words were not impressive and could only be said to be "what Yang Du himself thinks is right."
"Isn't that right? If we could have insisted on the constitutional monarchy and continued on, China would have succeeded in reforming the law long ago. Not to mention that it can be compared with Britain and France, but it will definitely not be able to defeat even the small countries of Japan." Yang Du said with a very emotional tone.
.
"So, sir, what you mean is that we, the Beiyang government, can now stick to the same path and continue on without hesitation, right?" Yuan Suzhen asked.
"That's right. But it's not the current republic." Yang Du said decisively.
"Oh? Which path do you think China should stick to right now?" Yuan Su asked deliberately.
"As I said before, I should have insisted on taking the path of constitutional monarchy. I know that Young Master Yuan must have felt very different, but this matter can be understood in this way. From the Sino-Japanese War of 1898 to the Reform Movement of 1898, and then to the preparatory constitutional
During this period, we have been preparing for a constitutional monarchy for more than ten years. Compared with the republic, it is nothing more than some new theories brought back by Sun Wen after visiting Western countries. But in the final analysis, the foundation of the republic in China is too shallow and far away.
There is no accumulation like a constitutional monarchy." Yang Du explained to Yuan Su patiently.
Yuan Su couldn't help but feel surprised. He really didn't expect that Yang Du could find such a "crooked" reason.
He knew very well that this statement was extremely unreliable. If the constitutional monarchy really had such a long history of accumulation, the Reform Movement of 1898 should have been successful by then. Even if it had not succeeded at that time, it would not have been the outbreak of the Revolution of 1911 in 1911.
Later, the Qing government hastily decided to promulgate the constitution. The so-called "accumulation" was at best the accumulation of some constitutional monarchs among the people, which indeed had some foundation.
But even so, he did not break this layer. Instead, he pretended to be taught and said suddenly: "Listening to what Mr. said, it does make some sense. But now the republic has become the general trend, let alone the president.
I won't agree. Even if the president agrees, I'm afraid many progressive people will strongly oppose it. Although I am a martial artist, I have some understanding of the domestic situation. Today's people are roughly divided into four groups. These four groups of people
I'm afraid there are only two groups who will definitely hold objections."
Yang Du asked calmly: "I don't know which four parts the young Master Yuan mentioned."
Yuan Su had a deep expression and said calmly: "The first one is the legacy of the former Qing Dynasty. After all, the feudal ideology is deeply poisonous. Whether they are Manchus or Han people, there are many people who never forget the former Qing Dynasty. After all, the former Qing Dynasty was founded by my uncle.
It ended under persuasion, so this type of people must have great resentment; the second is a group of intellectuals and business gentry headed by the Southern Revolutionary Party. Their belief in the Republic and the Min Zhu is deeply rooted, and now they have become obsessed with Beiyang.
The government has many dissatisfactions, not to mention that once the Beiyang government restores the monarchy, it will inevitably arouse even more violent reactions."
Yang Du was thinking while listening to Yuan Su's words. He was not in a hurry to speak, but he gradually had some other thoughts in his heart.
After a slight pause, Yuan Su then said: "Most of the above two people are well-educated, but they are different. In other words, these groups of people are the ones with a quality foundation in China. But these groups of people
They will definitely hold objections. As for the other two groups, the third group is the ruling class that currently supports the Beiyang government. These can be divided into two groups: those who support the rule of law and those who are loyal to Beiyang. The former only abide by the constitutional system, while only the latter can
They are dedicated to defending our Beiyang regime; the fourth is the vast majority of ordinary people who account for the largest number of people. Although this group is the largest, they are mostly poor laborers without culture, beliefs and ideals. They are representatives of the labor force, but they are extremely lacking in creativity.
