Beiyang reactionaries
Page 1049
When Yuan Shikai's mother died, Yuan Shikai was already a minister of Beiyang, with great power.However, Yuan Shikai's elder brother did not allow Yuan Shikai's mother to enter the ancestral grave, because Yuan Shikai's mother was a concubine and a servant girl.The elder brother who was born in the first place, that is, the head of the Yuan family of Yuan Shikai's generation, completely disagreed with allowing a concubine's room to enter the ancestral grave.
Yuan Shikai even knelt down for his elder brother, but the Yuan family did not agree, and in the end he still could not be buried in the ancestral grave.
why?
This is the clan rule.
Rules cannot be broken.
Even if you are Yuan Shikai, even if you are a Beiyang minister, calling the wind and calling the rain in the court, but the clan rules are the clan rules.In the end, Yuan Shikai almost rebelled out of Yuan's house in a rage.
The same is true for Tan Yankai.
When Tan Yankai's mother died, he had already entered the Republic of China, and Tan Yankai was already the governor of Hunan. He dared not say that he could cover the sky with one hand in Hunan.But the elders of the Tan family did not allow him to bury his mother in the ancestral grave.It is the same reason as Yuan Shikai, because their mothers were born as concubines.Tan Yankai is much tougher than Yuan Shikai.
Lying directly on the coffin, blocking the door of the Tan family.
Tell those clan elders that if they disagree, he will just block the door of the Tan family.According to the Tan family at the time, the only promising person was Tan Yankai.The old people of the Tan family saw that Tan Yankai was very determined, and they didn't want to force Tan Yankai out of the Tan family.So in the end, he could only hold his nose and agree to Tan Yankai's request to bury his mother in the ancestral grave.
Just look at this and you will know how powerful the clan is in this era.
Even figures such as Yuan Shikai and Tan Yankai could not completely break away from the constraints of the clan.But Tang Qunying led a group of women and turned the Hunan clans upside down.
Those women who lost their property were the clan bosses who swallowed their property.To sue these clans, to sue the elders of these clans, it really has too much influence.
"There are too many complaints."
Yang Wei smiled wryly.
Since Tang Qunying went to Hunan, too many things happened in just half a month.As a result, the champions from Hunan kept coming to Beijing.
Especially the local council in Hunan.
Including the Provincial Assembly and County Assembly, many members responded to the Provisional Senate, thinking that Tang Qunying's behavior was too much.Ask Beijing to take care of it.
Women can't be allowed to make trouble at will.
"There are many complaints, which means that there is a lot of trouble. If Tang Qunying was a man, he must be a fierce general on the battlefield. Since Tang Qunying has already started a quarrel, your Senate can't just ignore it."
"kindness."
To cooperate up and down.
Although Duan Xun could not personally suppress those clans and gentry, he still had to give the support that should be given.After all, the clan and gentry are afraid of even Duan Xun. If there is no support, those feminist movements will soon be suppressed.
Now that the trouble has broken out, Duan Xun has no way out.
"Start with the simplest."
"Marriage law."
Yang Wei nodded.
expressed his opinion.
"Among their claims, the easiest thing to implement is the marriage law. Of course, there are many things in the marriage law that need to be carefully considered. But this is the easiest solution. In particular, freedom of love and freedom of marriage are the easiest to write into the law. Then there is property issues."
Yang Wei served as the provisional Senate, and he also had a lot of understanding of Chinese laws.
After all, the provisional Senate replaces the role of Congress and is currently the highest legislative body.The Law Reform Committee led by Wang Chonghui will submit a new law reform regulation to the Provisional Senate every month.
If you don't know at all, how can Yang Wei act as the speaker.
"Regarding property issues, in fact, since the Ming and Qing Dynasties, there have been very clear regulations. Women also have the right to inherit. It's just that the clans in those places are too powerful, and they ignore the laws of the country and only follow the patriarchal law. Those local government offices did not want Offending clan power, so this kind of case has always been amicable. In fact, I have carefully read the several cases sued by Tang Qunying and the others. Not to mention the law of the Republic of China, even according to the law of the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the clan is Wrong side."
"I understand what you mean."
Duan Xun nodded.
What Yang Wei meant was that the cases that Tang Qunying and the others sued were legally accurate.
"In this way, your provisional Senate will introduce a new 'marriage law'. Of course, you don't need to change too much. The main thing is to change the age of marriage and raise it up. Women can't marry too early. And then mainly through the freedom of love, The principle of freedom of marriage and freedom of divorce."
"it is good."
"I'll talk to Wang Chonghui. Let the court in Hunan decide what to do."
Give those women's rights activists a piece of support.
The court's decision is the greatest support.
"Also, support the establishment of women's federations in all provinces of the country as soon as possible, so that they can bravely pursue their rights."
"Row."

"Congressional election?"
"Yes."
Yang Wei nodded.
Dao: "The provisional Senate has existed for too long, and it has been a year now. Because too many things happened this year, many people have forgotten this crop. But now that it has stabilized, the voice of demanding a new congressional election There will be more and more. Many local councilors have written to the provisional senate asking about the congressional election. And I think if we don't answer, more and more local councilors will write to us asking .We can't delay like this. After all, the Provisional Senate is not a Congress, and if its name is not right, there will be a lot of gossip."
Yes.
The Provisional Senate is only a temporary institution for a special period.
In 1922, Duan Xun dissolved the National Assembly on the grounds that the legal number of members of the National Assembly was insufficient, and then established the Provisional Senate.At that time, the role of the Provisional Senate was to replace the functions of Congress until the emergence of a new Congress.
But a year has passed, and the new Congress is still far away, and there is no possibility of any congressional elections at all.
In such a situation, many people began to gossip, worrying that Duan Xun would follow Yuan Shikai's old path.Yuan Shikai was slowly centralizing power back then, kicking out Duan Qirui, and then taking back the power of the Ministry of War.
Then came the withdrawal of parliamentary powers.
After successful centralization, he chose to proclaim himself emperor.
Duan Xun's current strength and prestige are higher than Yuan Shikai's back then. Will Duan Xun take this path?This is what many people worry about.After the second revolution that year, Yuan Shikai's strength increased greatly, and China could have stabilized a little bit.But when Yuan Shikai proclaimed himself emperor, there was a movement to protect the country.Therefore, many people began to call for the reopening of Congress as soon as possible.
Use Congress to limit Duan Xun's power.
Duan Xun must not be allowed to follow Yuan Shikai's old path.Now that China has just stabilized, what will happen if there is another storm of proclaiming the emperor.
"what are you thinking."
"The new Congress must be elected. Even if elections cannot be held for a while, everyone should be given a clear timetable, so that many worried people can be appeased."
