Rebirth of the Northern Giants

Although Bai Bainan had met Ye Zhikui this morning, he hadn't found the time to take a closer look at him until now.

He sighed a little in his heart, no wonder his daughter fell in love with him. Judging from the appearance alone, although Ye Zhikui does not look like Pan An, he looks upright, let alone a young hero. Thinking of his daughter actually living in the Forbidden City , Nameless, unknown, and unclear rumors gave Bai Nan a headache.

Tonight I will have a clear argument with you, Ye Zhikui, regardless of whether you are a general or a junior, you can't play with my daughter like this, the innocence of my daughter's family can't be tarnished.

Seeing that Nan was silent for a long time during the day, Ye Zhikui had no choice but to ask: "I don't know why uncle came to visit late at night?"

During the day, Nan picked up the teacup, fiddled with the lid a little, and said in a calm and unhurried manner: "The little girl, Weiwei, has troubled the Generalissimo. I plan to send someone to let her go home."

That's impossible, thinking of Bai Weiwei's shy appearance, Ye Zhikui was absolutely unwilling, and asked cautiously: "Why did uncle say that, Weiwei eats well and lives well in the capital, so why is my nephew being negligent?" place."

Just pretend to be a fool, Bai Bainan cursed in his heart, and said slowly: "If the name is not right, the words will not go well. The little girl is talking about marriage and her age. Living in the Forbidden City is neither suitable for love nor reason."

During the day, Nan dialect was spoken so bluntly, Ye Zhikui couldn't be in a daze anymore, and said with a smile: "Well, please rest assured, Uncle, Weiwei and my nephew have agreed to reconcile, I hope to marry Weiwei as a wife, and I hope Uncle Complete."

I finally waited for your words. It seems that the generalissimo is really a donkey, and he will not leave unless he is beaten.

"I have only one daughter in Tiannan, and I have always regarded it as my darling. If the Generalissimo has the heart, I hope he can treat her well and marry her with the six rites."

Although Bai Tiannan didn't want his daughter to marry the emperor's family, he couldn't control her heart, so he could only try his best to fight for her daughter's welfare.

"It's natural." Ye Zhikui also really likes Bai Weiwei, so he won't let her be wronged.

Seeing that Ye Zhikui was so easy to talk, Bai Bainan finally felt relieved, and his coffin face changed into the smiling face of Maitreya Buddha. .

Volume Two, The Wind and Cloud of the Capital

With the end of the Sino-Russian war, the two sides began peace talks, and the domestic situation was about to stabilize. The ghosts and monsters in Beijing and China finally became restless, couldn't sit still, and began to appear on the stage.

On September 9, when Ye Zhikui was in Shandong, a newspaper in central Beijing published an article signed by Chen Shaobai: On Autocracy and Democracy.

Fired the first shot in the dispute over the national system.

In the article, Chen Shaobai analyzed in detail the reasons for the demise of the Manchu Qing government, and attributed the main reason to the corruption brought about by the autocratic system. One year to clean up the magistrate, one hundred thousand and one hundred flowers and silver.Being an official for thousands of miles is only for money, absolute autocracy has led to extreme corruption, and the separation of powers in the United States can fundamentally slow down the emergence of corruption.

As soon as Chen Shaobai's article came out, there was an uproar in the capital. Tan Sitong immediately wrote an article in the newspaper to refute, listing the officials of the past dynasties during the Qingming Dynasty, thinking that Chen Shaobai was too extreme. Therefore, depravity and corruption, apart from the fact that the government itself turned a blind eye, is also related to unsupervised. The Qing government from top to bottom just wanted to make a fortune in the Central Plains world and treat Han people as slaves. The government is obviously different. The generalissimo not only hates corruption, but also set up a special supervision department: ICAC.

To the left or to the right, the undercurrent in the capital is surging, and democrats and constitutionalists have begun to secretly pass the music.

On the 12th, as soon as Yang Du's article "On the Salvation of the Country by the Constitution of the Monarch" was released, it attracted the attention of people in the ruling and opposition parties as soon as it was published in the newspaper.

"If China does not have a monarch, there will be no hope for a strong country, no hope for a rich country, no hope for a constitution, and it will end up with a subjugated country... Therefore, using the power of autocracy to implement the cause of constitution is an excellent opportunity for Shengjun Yingpi to make great achievements."

This article by Yang Du brought the dispute over the national system to a climax.

In the afternoon of the next day, Yang Du, Tan Sitong, Wang Kaiyun, Liang Qichao, Kang Youwei and other people in favor of constitutional monarchy held a meeting in Beijing Qiangxue Bookstore to discuss countermeasures.

Yang Du and Wang Kaiyun originally strongly supported Ye Zhikui's ascension to the Ninth Five-Year Honor, and favored the feudal monarchy. However, Yang Du had been with Ye Zhikui for a long time, and he understood his thoughts to some extent, so he had to take the second place and compromise with the constitutionalists. A constitutional monarchy was born.

"Brother Xizi."

"Old Wang"

"Brother Nanhai"

...

After exchanging pleasantries and greetings, everyone sat down one after another.

Yang Du has a special status, and as one of the initiators, he first said: "Everyone, today's China has reached a crossroads. It is ridiculous that Sun Yat-sen and Yang Quyun vigorously advocated the Western democratic republic system in the capital and deceived the people. Powerful countries such as Germany and the UK are all constitutional monarchies, why don’t they say that we can’t stand still, we must expose their true colors of fake democracy and real seizure of power.”

Wang Kaiyun echoed: "Xizi's words are very true. The Generalissimo turned the tide by himself, overthrew the Qing government, and resisted foreign humiliation. He is indeed the Son of Heaven. Now the country is in peace. These so-called democrats who have not contributed half of their efforts They jumped out one after another, not for fame and fortune, but for something. I propose that we jointly establish a "Persuading Association" to persuade the Generalissimo to ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor as soon as possible."

Before today's meeting, everyone had already discussed for a long time, and Wang Kaiyun took the opportunity to propose it, and everyone naturally agreed.

Tan Citong took out the purpose of the association that had already been written, and read aloud: "The purpose of this association was originally to study why the monarch is applicable to China. , not involved at all, but now the situation is critical, we should publicize the sageness of the Generalissimo to the people, let the Generalissimo hear the voice of the people, and ascend to the throne of God as soon as possible. The situation is changing, and it is necessary for someone as far-sighted as the Generalissimo to lead China back into the ranks of world powers. If you have any objections, if you have no objections, please fill in the membership list."

The people who came here were all staunch constitutionalists, and naturally they didn't have any opinions, so they wrote and signed.

Yang Du finally picked up the general list and said happily: "So, tomorrow we will jointly telegraph the whole country and call on people with lofty ideals from all provinces to join."

Although Kang Youwei had a grudge against himself not being able to take the top spot, he still tried his best to come up with ideas after all the glory and glory: "Now, although the Persuasion Association has been established, we still have a lot to do. According to me, Kang Look, we must first convince the representatives of all provinces in central Beijing to unanimously advocate a constitutional monarchy, and then add fuel to the flames, organize people from all over the country to petition the central government, and persuade the generalissimo to take the throne, so that the big things can be decided."

Tan Citong pondered for a while, and then Kang Youwei said: "It is not easy to organize the people to petition the central government, and it needs the support of the localities. Why don't we first establish branches of local promotion associations, promote a constitutional monarchy, influence the people, and thus influence the local government. Launching a massive persuasion campaign from bottom to top, the Generalissimo will have no other intentions when he sees that the public opinion is so."

The rest of the people nodded in agreement. Seeing this, Yang Du said with a smile: "It's not too late. Let's take action immediately so that Sun Yat-sen and his ilk can see what the real public opinion is. The authority of the Generalissimo cannot be challenged."

On the 13th, the "Encouraging Advancement Association" telegraphed the whole country, expressing support for the Generalissimo's ascension to the throne, and then distributed leaflets, waited for newspapers, and first initiated a public opinion letter jointly signed by 10 people in the capital.

"What? You asked me if I would like to make the Generalissimo the emperor? Do you need to talk about it? Besides the Generalissimo, who in China has such prestige to be the emperor?" A member of the Persuasion Association had just finished explaining his intention to a businessman, The businessman replied impatiently.

Now that the military government is in power, even if some people don't want it in their hearts, they will not say it blatantly like Sun Yat-sen and others. Instead, they will try their best to pretend that I am a good citizen.

"Oh, oh, why don't you ask me to sign my name to express my support for the Generalissimo as emperor? Of course it's okay, but I can't write." An old farmer who was plowing the field touched his scalp and said embarrassingly.

The members of the Persuasion Association shook their heads helplessly, and said aloud: "You hold the pen, and I will teach you how to write and what is your name."

"Two Dogs"

Within a day, the Association for Encouraging Advancement obtained 5 signatures in the capital. If it were not for the fact that the Association for Encouraging Advancement had too few members, it is estimated that within one day, 10 signatures would have been obtained.

That night, Yang Du looked at the long signed book with a smile, and nodded with satisfaction: "This is the popular support."

The massive actions of the constitutionalists made the democrats anxious. After discussion, they decided to use the spear of the son to attack the shield of the son.

On the second day, they beat gongs and drums, calling on the people of the capital to sign their names in favor of democracy.

"What, democracy? What is Democracy Nani? You were kicked in the head by a donkey for persuading the Grand Marshal not to be the emperor, so why not become the emperor?" the steamed bun vendor scolded angrily.

Chen Shaobai walked away dejectedly, and saw an old man basking in the sun, he hurriedly walked up to repeat the reason for his visit.

"Well, what you know is what you know, what you don't know is what you don't know, the old man doesn't know the president, he only knows the emperor, what, you say that everyone can be the president, be careful, be careful, although the current emperor is kind, but rebellion is a serious crime for the nine clans, Don't harm the old man, the old man still wants to live a few more years."

Chen Shaobai wanted to cry but had no tears, so he stood still for a long time.

"Oh, young man," the old man yelled again.

Could it be that the old man finally figured it out, Chen Shaobai was overjoyed, and hurried forward a few steps.

"You're blocking me from the sun." The old man curled his lips and said dissatisfied. .

Volume Two, Fengyun in the Capital, Chapter [-], Want to Sleep with Sister Qiu Jin

The "Persuading Association" moved around and organized various petition groups, such as the petition group of the Jingshi Commercial Association, the petition group of the Education Association, the petition group of women, the petition group of representatives of beggars, and the petition group of representatives of rickshaw pullers.

These petition groups, together with the provincial petition groups of the CPPCC, simultaneously delivered petitions to the Ministry of Civil Affairs and the Ministry of Justice of the military government.Set off a wave of petitions to implement the monarchy.

Yang Du, Kang Youwei and others prepared to take advantage of the victory to pursue and form a national petition federation to attract representatives from various provinces in Beijing, hoping that everyone would unite to call for a national meeting to solve the national system issue.
