"Want the emperor, not the president!" "Want the emperor, not the republic!"
Staring at the image on the TV, a few middle-aged and young men showed deep anger on their faces. A man with a thick waist couldn't help but say angrily, "What's so good about the emperor? They only think about the emperor every day! Can't these stupid people think on their own? "
The others were also filled with anger. With such a catalyst, everyone also expressed their contempt for the ignorant people who did not learn, as well as their determination to adhere to the Republic system.
However, it wasn't a good idea to simply explode here. There were only a few of them, but there were thousands of people on the TV. It was wishful thinking to rely on them to disperse the people. Therefore, after cursing for a while, they dispersed their anger and could only angrily express their stance. "We must uphold the republic and never allow the emperor to be restored."
"Some of my friends work in newspapers and TV stations. I'll talk to them about this." The first middle-aged man said loudly with deep hatred, "If you have relatives and friends working in these places, you must also do your best. We are alone. If we have the help of the media, our voices can be magnified countless times. "
"Then what should we say?" The others asked a more serious question because their anger was appeased.
"Say what? Let the people understand that the central government's boss is still Vézé. Vézé is responsible for everything. Vézé is probably the mastermind behind this. "The middle-aged man said with a disdainful expression.
Although these people knew this was a lie, Emperor Vézé had not been the president for more than ten years. In these ten years, he had gradually faded out of people's sight. These years, he didn't even get involved in the political circle. Not only did most of the officials think that Emperor Vézé had retired, but the people also had the same attitude. Speaking in this way, it was as if he was lying through his teeth. Therefore, these people were hesitant.
Seeing the cowardice of his companions, the middle-aged man with a thick waist shouted angrily, "For the republic, we must do it without hesitation. If the emperor is restored, then the Min dynasty will be a monarchy for all eternity. At that time, other than lamenting that we didn't do our best, what else can we do? "
As long as one could say the right words, as long as there was a real banner, there would always be some appeal. After being yelled at by the burly man, the others also felt that their thoughts had stabilized. After a short discussion, everyone dispersed.
The burly man went out and rode his motorcycle straight to the Beijing News. Along the way, his expression was solemn. When he entered the main entrance of the Beijing News, the guard who was familiar with him almost wanted to stop him. After parking the car, he strode into the editing room. A short man in the room raised his head and looked at the person who came in. He pushed away the manuscript in front of him and got up to pour two cups of tea.
The burly man carefully closed the door and took a sip of tea. Then, he lowered his voice and said, "It's a critical moment now. I wonder if your newspaper supports the Republic or Vézé. "
"You know that our Beijing News doesn't like to go along with the Restoration Party," the short editor said calmly. Seeing the joy on the muscular man's face, the editor continued in a persuasive tone mixed with regret and dissatisfaction. "Our Bannerman is no longer here. Back then, our ancestors swore to the heavens that they were all Han people. Thus, Vézé spared his ancestor. Those documents are still here. Are you still thinking about revenge now? Thinking so much is just asking for trouble. "
"The hatred of our ancestors is absolutely irreconcilable. Vézé spared our Bannerman back then because he was blind. We have no intention of submitting to him. "The middle-aged man said fiercely.
The short editor sighed. "So what if Vézé is blind? Do you think we can restore the Qing Dynasty? You're an official. Don't you know that Vézé really wants to establish a republic? You insist on a republic, but you're just following Vézé's heart. "
Seeing that the other Bannerman had no intention of opposing Vézé, the burly man showed a persuasive expression. "Do you really think I like a republic? If the republic continues, it will only cause chaos. When the time comes, everyone will resent the Restoration Party, and we will have a chance. I think the people's opposition to the president and the republic is sincere. We brothers have been studying for so many years, is our knowledge not enough to run the world? There's no reason to let Vézé and the Restoration Party be in power. "
"… I know what you mean. I can only tell you that the Beijing News will not really stand with the Restoration Party. "The short editor calmly replied.
"That's good. I still have to contact others, I'll be leaving first. " The burly man stood up happily, drank the tea under the quilt, and strode out of the editing room.
The editor took a sip of the tea and sighed in his heart. With Vézé's intelligence, does he not know that sparing the lives of the Manchurians does not mean that the Manchurians will completely submit to the Min dynasty? The editor believed that Vézé knew. As long as one had a brain, they would know that the Han identity document was just a formality. People say that the heavens have the virtue of cherishing life, and Vézé is not willing to kill those who bow their heads.
As for education … without the Min dynasty's countless financial and manpower investment, how could there be so many opportunities for education? Not to mention that the "Compulsory Education Law" has been in place for so many years, insisting that everyone must receive education.
The editor could understand the Bannermen's anger towards history. The hatred of the subjugation of the country, especially when the Bannermen fell from the ruling position to not even dare to call themselves Bannermen, it would be strange if they did not resent Vézé. But was the Bannermen not responsible for the destruction of the Manchu Qing? Or was the Manchu Qing's responsibility only because they failed to suppress rebels like Vézé? Was it not Manchu Qing's responsibility that caused so many people to resist under strong oppression?
The editor let out a long sigh, lowered his head and continued to read. He personally did not like Vézé who completely destroyed the Manchu Qing, but the editor liked the current era. His father and grandfather once said that the monthly income of the millions of Bannermen who lived on top of 500 million people was far less than the current ordinary people. As for electric lights, telephones, televisions, buildings, motorcycles, tractors, and cars, they were all impossible in the past. More importantly, the current era was really free. All kinds of background and support were very important, but individuals also had the opportunity to move forward with their own efforts and progress …
Thinking of this, the editor suddenly had a feeling. He took out the manuscript and scribbled on it, "Uphold the republic, overthrow the feudal system …"
"If we have a monarchy, the" Cheap Law "will inevitably not happen again. No, it will definitely happen again. "The young man tried his best to persuade the people of his age with a firm tone.
Listening to the people who had been attacked by the "Cheap Law" mentioning the era of horrible politics, the young man opposite him could not help but purse his lips. The "Cheap Law" was the eternal horror in the hearts of the Bannermen. As the era developed, the horror of the law became more obvious.
As the saying went, cutting off one's path to wealth was better than killing one's parents. The "Cheap Law" not only cut off one's path to wealth, but it also destroyed one's future. The beginning of every dynasty was a period where there was a big opportunity. The landlords and the cultural class who used to be in the upper class of China were completely pushed to the bottom of society in those 20 years.
The poor and those who could not afford a systematic education sprung up in these 20 years and occupied all kinds of positions in society. When the "Cheap Law" came to an end, this group of people who used to be in the upper class and the mainstream of society could only continue to climb up from the bottom.
"We must support the republic. Not supporting the republic is courting death. "The young man who was lobbying looked solemn, but his words were quite elegant.
"Indeed." The young man who was being lobbied spoke and behaved very well.
Even if they were attacked by the "Cheap Law", the family education of these people who were once in the upper class of society was still there. Whether it was being an official or going to school, their ancestors had seen it before. They might not know what the problem was, but they knew what to do. They would definitely be doomed. Even after being attacked by the "Cheap Law" for 20 years, they quickly returned to the mainstream of society when they had the opportunity.
"At the beginning of the founding of the country, His Majesty Vézé had decreed that the people under him had to do it regardless of whether they understood it or not. Under such a system, we have no chance to defend ourselves at all. The republic is different. Now, no matter what, there are organizations and channels. If the same order cannot be approved, the so-called execution is nothing more than a formality. We must uphold the republic. Without the republic, we will not be guaranteed. Without the republic, we will not have the opportunity to advance. "The young man easily reached a consensus.
If not for the attack of the "Cheap Law", they would have long since returned to the glory of the old era. In any era, it was the knowledgeable who controlled the world. Take the Liberation Army as an example. When they joined the Liberation Army, they were already in the mainstream of society and did quite well. Shen Xin's birth was definitely within the scope of the "Cheap Law", and Shen Xin, who had followed the Restoration Party early on, had already become the first chairman after Vézé.
A knowledgeable and meritorious person became the chairman, and not someone who only relied on military achievements to become the chairman. This actually proved a lot.
"Then what should we do? Even if we want to uphold the republic, where should we start? " The knowledgeable young man looked at the problem calmly. Even if this wasn't something they personally understood, it was something their families had warned them about.
"The emperor and the republic are not the same thing. We have done our best to publicize that the republic itself has nothing to do with the emperor. As for why the republic has caused the heavens to be angry and the people to resent, that is the problem of the Restoration Party. As long as we can get rid of the biggest problem … "
All kinds of people were either excited or astonished by this unprecedented situation, or they stopped moving. The first to feel this change was Premier Wang Peng.
"Premier, the current situation is like this. If it was someone newly appointed, they probably wouldn't be able to familiarize themselves with the problem and solve it. Comrade Ziyang was also once the premier, and later rose to the position of chairman. Everyone felt that everything went smoothly. Now that the situation is so chaotic, shouldn't you also make preparations? "
