    Since the ministers who went abroad for inspection last fall have returned home one after another, China has entered a period of great reforms: changing the official system, sorting out laws, and preparing for the establishment of a constitution A series of reform measures by the constitutionalists are dazzling, and their purpose is nothing more than to make the Qing Dynasty rule.  For thousands of years, the result has been strong dissatisfaction among conservatives and revolutionaries, who have criticized and blocked various measures.

    The conservatives are mostly officials in the court. They believe that the establishment of a constitutional monarchy will ignore the emperor and thereby lose the imperial power; the newly established prime minister has great power and controls the government. Once the government's agenda is disrupted, he will do what Wang Mang and Cao Cao did and change the dynasty.  Therefore, they tried desperately to stop it, and there was a "Ding Wei political tide" in which court officials criticized each other.

    In order to seize power for themselves, the revolutionaries opposed all measures that might consolidate the imperial rule, regardless of whether these measures were beneficial to the people.  Since the revolutionaries had no power, they had no choice but to use the most violent means to express their will: rebellion.  The Jiangnan area quickly became a powder keg: in December 1906, the Pingliuli Uprising broke out in Hunan; in June 1907, the Qinvhu Uprising broke out in Guangdong; in July, the Anqing Uprising broke out in Anhui; in September, the Qinlian Fangcheng Uprising broke out in Guangdong  ¡­

    It was the trouble caused by these two forces that turned the already precarious political situation in the late Qing Dynasty into a shaky one.  This is like a broken ship going against the wind on the sea. A few discerning crew members discovered that the wind was in the wrong direction and the hull was cracked, so they persuaded the captain to turn the ship around while repairing the broken ship.  As soon as I put forward my opinion, someone immediately stood up and objected: "No! The boat is left by the ancestors and cannot be moved arbitrarily; the direction is designated by the ancestors and cannot be changed arbitrarily." When the two groups were spitting and holding their own opinions,  But some people took out their hammers and axes, destroyed the broken ships, and expressed their opinions through actions: We should knock down everything, scrap the old and build the new!

    In this way, the broken ship, which could have sustained a few more years, was spinning in place and showing signs of sinking due to the struggle of the three groups.

    The chaos between North Korea and China is also reflected in Hubei:

    The mainstream is the constitutionalist faction, represented by Zhang Zhidong, the governor of Huguang, who is the most vocal.  Although they advocated a constitutional monarchy, they still tended to ensure the imperial power in their hearts, so there was not much conflict between them and the conservative royalists, but they actually wanted to merge.

    In addition to rural gentry and old Confucianists, there are also die-hard royalists in the officialdom, but their influence is limited. After all, Zhang Nanpi has stayed in Hubei for so many years, and he has already kicked out officials who did not agree with him.

    As for the revolutionary faction, they are mainly the students of the new schools and the newly trained army. They belong to the undercurrent and have no voice at all in formal occasions.  But secretly, he is ready to take action.

    As a new young man born in the spring breeze and raised under the red flag, Sun Yuanqi is inclined to revolution in his heart.  But after so many years in the Qing Dynasty, my thoughts have also undergone some changes, and I have my own views on revolution: violent revolution must be under the leadership of outstanding figures, occur within a controllable range, and must not harm the interests of the country and the majority of its citizens; after the revolution,  , the country should quickly stabilize, turn to economic construction, and improve people's livelihood, instead of social unrest and warlord fighting.

    By chance at the beginning of the year, Sun Yuanqi saw the "Revolutionary Strategy" formulated by Sun Yat-sen, Huang Xing and others in Tokyo last autumn and winter. The "External Declaration" contained several articles: After the success of the revolution, "all the treaties China has previously concluded with other countries"  All treaties shall continue to be valid", "repayment of foreign debts will still be responsibilities and all foreign customs in the provinces shall repay them in full", and "all vested rights of outsiders shall be protected as a whole".  Although Sun Yuanqi understood that this was a method the revolutionaries had to adopt in order to gain support from the great powers, he was still aggrieved and disappointed with the Alliance.

    Even though he was disappointed with the Alliance, Sun Yuanqi still had expectations for its future, hoping that it would shoulder the historical responsibility of overthrowing the Qing Dynasty and establishing the Republic of China; instead of hoping that the Manchu Qing government would succeed in establishing a constitution and that the descendants of China would always be the slaves of the Manchu emperor.

    With a passive wait-and-see attitude towards the establishment of the constitution, coupled with his bold restructuring of the school and the reduction of its Confucian classics content, Sun Yuanqi became an alternative in Hubei official circles.  After Zhang Zhidong became the co-organizer of the bachelor's degree, he directly bypassed Sun Yuanqi, Hubei's academic envoy, and established an ancient school in Wuchang. His precept said:

    "Recently, the strange customs and customs in schools are unbearable to see and hear about. For the sake of the country, there will be disasters from rebellious ministers and traitors; for the sake of the world, it is especially the worry of floods and wild beasts. I would like to establish an ancient school in Hubei Province to teach classics, history, poetry, and expositions  The four sects are the main ones, supplemented by ordinary science, and the common people's classics are not compromised, so as to preserve the essence of the country and put an end to chaos."

    This is almost pointing at Sun Yuanqi¡¯s nose, denying what he has done in the past year.  Many people thought that Sun Yuanqi would leave Hubei in disgrace in a short time, but unexpectedly it was Zhang Zhidong who left Hubei soon.  But he was promoted to a bachelor's degree and a minister of military aircraft. His influence in Hubei wasThe establishment and transformation of.  He himself was no exception. He came to Tongshan, 180 miles south of Wuchang Prefecture, and personally participated in the construction of Tongshan Public No. 1 Middle School and No. 2 Middle School.

    As expected, Sweden and the United States successively sent notes to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Qing government, hoping to invite Sun Yuanqi to visit abroad. Coupled with Sun Yuanqi's own petition to open a vacancy, the imperial court quickly issued an edict to Sun Yuanqi:

    Sun Yuanqi, who holds the title of Right Minister of the Ministry of Education and is appointed as the envoy to Hubei to promote academic affairs, serves as the first-class imperial minister and goes to Sweden, the United States and other countries to inspect academic affairs. He is given a three-month leave of absence without opening any vacancies.  (To be continued.
