    Tang Shouqian nodded thoughtfully: "As far as Tang has heard, Japanese officers and soldiers indeed respected the Emperor extremely, even worshiping the Emperor as a god, and especially advocated the Bushido spirit based on loyalty, bravery, and obedience. In the last years of Guangxu's reign, Japan and Russia  During the Battle of Lushun, tens of thousands of Japanese officers and soldiers braved the hail of Russian bullets and launched a charge using human wave tactics. The entire army did not retreat until death! Their bloody cruelty, their loyalty, and their brave obedience are all impressive.  I am terrified. If we use this kind of human bomb attack against the Qing army, I am afraid that the Qing army will be defeated in less than a moment!

    "Of course, although the elites under Baixi's command are usually invisible, they occasionally reveal their prowess, which is enough to impress them at home and abroad. For example, in the year of 1911, a student army of the Xinhai Army captured the three provinces of Shanxi, Shaanxi, and Sichuan, and in the second year of the Republic of China, a brigade conquered all three provinces.  He made a leap forward thousands of miles straight into Hunan and Guangdong, and defeated the Ji army that had been famous in Guangdong and Guangxi for more than ten years with a group of exhausted troops. Not long ago, he completely annihilated a cavalry brigade and defeated an integrated division with one brigade of troops. These classic battles prove that Bai Xi  The officers and men under his command are well-deserved as China's most powerful army. Compared with the fanatical Japanese army, they may not be invincible and become the most powerful army in East Asia!

    "However, as Xizi said, Baixi's influence on ordinary people, especially the gentry class in their forties and fifties, is still insufficient. If it can be improved in the near future, the whole country can unite as one to fight against the outside world and support our army in the war.  A decisive battle between Shandong and Japan would naturally be better. But I don¡¯t know what Xizi has to say?"

    Sun Yuanqi was secretly murmuring in his heart: Could it be that Yang Xizi is still obsessed with the imperial system, and is he going to play persuading Jin Biao and Wan Min Shu for himself?  After the Republic of China, imperialism was restored.  That is more heinous than wearing a brand-name watch or smoking sky-high-priced cigarettes, and will definitely lead to death!

    The old god Yang Du replied on the ground: "I can't speak of high opinions. Yang just expressed his feelings! In Japan, from the Kamakura shogunate period to the Edo shogunate period for nearly a thousand years, the people only knew that there was a general who conquered the barbarians.  But I don¡¯t know that there is an emperor. The emperor is just a puppet. He has no power in his hands and is restricted by the shogunate. Not only does he have no clothes and food, but his life is in danger. Compared with Emperor Xian of Han and Emperor Guangxu, he is even worse! But why do you think the Emperor of Japan is here?  Why has it suddenly become so respected in the past 40 or 50 years?

    "In addition to the fact that the emperor is the legendary descendant of the sun god, which is in line with Japanese national beliefs, Yang feels that the biggest factor is that at that time, Japan was invaded by foreign powers and there were many vassal states in the country. The people were eager to have a strong monarch.  Come out and lead them to unify the country internally, refresh the outdated old system, and resist the foreign powers externally to establish a powerful nation. However, the original shoguns have been passed down for more than ten generations and have signed many traitorous treaties with foreign countries, which have made them backward, corrupt, and  Synonymous with feudal seclusion, he was simply unable to shoulder such a heavy responsibility. So the people settled for the next best thing and chose Emperor Meiji.

    "Emperor Meiji himself is certainly talented and ambitious, but more importantly, he happened to meet the right opportunity. Under the double push of the trend of the times and the people's choices, he stepped into the altar and became a god worshiped by everyone. Today, Emperor Taisho  Mentally poor. He behaves erratically from time to time. He is not a suitable candidate to rule the country, but he is still promoted to the throne and accepted by the Japanese people. The reason is that he can inherit the mantle of Emperor Meiji. He has become a faith idol in the hearts of the people. Now  The situation in China is so similar to that in the 1940s and 1950s when the 15th Shogun Tokugawa of the Edo Shogunate returned to power and Emperor Meiji officially came to power! Isn¡¯t the rise of Emperor Meiji worthy of our consideration and study?

    "In particular, Baixi has always had a high status in the minds of young students and is known as the 'Today's Saint'. People in the western provinces also regard you as a living Buddha. Now that the war is approaching, a strong figure is urgently needed to stand up.  To control people's hearts to ward off foreign aggression. At this time of great potential, shouldn't we take advantage of the situation? Should we allow Li Huangpi, Duan Zhiquan and others to deceive people's hearts?"

    When Sun Yuanqi heard this, he frowned and couldn't help but scolded: "Xizi, what do you mean? Do you want Sun to destroy the Republic like Yuan Xiangcheng and then be ruined? Or do you want Sun to inherit the Qing Dynasty in the Forbidden City?  Take the mantle and ascend to the throne of the emperor?"

    Yang Du was not moved at all, and still said slowly: "Bai Xi, you are the master of Gezhi. You should have a more thorough understanding of the origin of all things. Since the Emperor of the Qing Dynasty and Yuan Xiangcheng can exist in the world and can govern the country so  After many years, isn¡¯t there any reasonable part in it? Is it because they are now dead and their power is destroyed, so we should completely deny everything they left behind? If this is the case, then your knowledge is not pure enough, and your thinking is not pure enough.  Transparent, your political views are too extreme! In Yang¡¯s view, as long as it is beneficial to the country, the people, the present, and the future, the Congress can naturally be dissolved. If the time is right, even the emperor will do the same!

    "At this moment, there are three people in the room, Baixi, Zheweng and Yang. To be fair, in the two or three years since the founding of the Republic of China, the Congress has not only become a tool for political disputes, but alsoWhat are some beneficial things?  In addition to constraining the Presidential Palace and the State Council, what are the other positive implications?  In Yang's view, Yuan Xiangcheng's dissolution of Congress was not a foolish move, but it just proved that he had a unique vision. It was a pity that he was misunderstood and acted too hastily, which ultimately led to his ruin.  Fortunately, God has been kind to us and left us a weak presidential palace and a incomplete Congress. Otherwise, Baixi, if you want to fight Japan in Shandong as you please, it will be tantamount to fanciful!  "

    Tang Shouqian hurriedly smoothed things over and said, "What Xizi said is indeed very reasonable. Now that the war is about to begin, we must not only win over people's hearts and encourage wise people to make suggestions, but we must not let it go and let the short stories of those remnants of the Democratic Party and the remnants of Beiyang shake people's hearts and undermine the overall situation.  Of course, Baixi's worries are not unfounded. Now that the country has reached this point, it is definitely impossible to go back. Whoever dares to undermine the republic will be targeted by the public. Yuan Xiangcheng is a lesson learned from the past. What's more, is it to restore the monarchy? "

    Sun Yuanqi also said: "As a great talent, Xizi Panpan can definitely think of dozens of ways to win over the people and gather people's power. Why do we have to take the evil path of destroying the republic, restoring the monarchy, etc. and risking the disapproval of the world? A little bit  If you¡¯re not careful, both you and I will be infamous!¡±

    In the real history of another time and space, Yang Du actively advocated constitutional monarchy, and joined forces with Sun Yujun, Li Xiehe, Hu Ying, Liu Shipei, Yan Fu and others to initiate the establishment of a "Preparatory Committee" to advocate for Yuan Shikai's ascension to the throne and proclaimed himself emperor.  Yuan Shikai was also very kind to him. He personally gave him a plaque with an inscription, calling him "an outstanding talent of his generation".  However, as soon as Yuan Shikai's Hongxian monarchy was launched, Yang Du was reviled by the whole country. He was called a "traitor" in his hometown of Hunan. His friend Liang Qichao also called him "a shameless, squirming lover".  ".  Later, Li Yuanhong succeeded as president and issued an order to punish the wanted culprits of the imperial system. Yang Du ranked first. He is really notorious and will last forever!

    Yang Du opened the folding fan and shook it for a moment before continuing: "There are two famous sayings from the ancients. One is 'The people cannot start with worry, but can achieve success with it', and the other is 'The people can make it happen, but cannot make it known'.  Although these two sentences are the remarks of ancient kings who did not trust ordinary people, the public is currently ignorant and is probably more passively avoiding than actively supporting this life-and-death battle that is related to the fate of the country. Therefore, Baidu  If Xizhen wants to win people's hearts, I am afraid that the news of the war against Japan cannot be made public for the time being.

    "Fortunately, the Chinese people are still young. Although some people have been exposed to some democratic republican ideas, the vast majority of the people, under the imperial rule for more than two thousand years, still have a fondness for the emperor and the capital in their hearts, and they will not accept the announcements issued by the government.  , the decree is still somewhat fearful. This is also a good opportunity for you, Baixi, to establish your reputation and win over the people. So you must return to the capital as soon as possible and use the orders of the State Council to treat filial sons, obedient grandsons, righteous husbands, and righteous husbands in all prefectures and counties.  We praise the chaste women and even senior elders, pure scholars and other celebrities, select strict and upright people to inspect and inspect various places, and severely punish corrupt officials, gangsters and bullies, so as to demonstrate their authority!"

    Tang Shouqian smiled and said: "This is a great plan! The favorite story among people throughout the ages is that good people are praised by superiors, and evil people are severely punished by superiors. If we add imperial envoys to inspect and upright officials to resolve cases, it will be even more widely spread.  ! In this way, Baixi, your name will naturally spread like wildfire, spread all over the world, and penetrate into the hearts of thousands of people."

    Regarding this clich¨¦d plot, Sun Yuanqi couldn't say he was disgusted, let alone liked it. He just nodded lightly at the moment, but put forward another idea: "Since ancient times, both the emperor and the prince, as well as the civil and military officials, like to sit still.  In the heavily guarded compound, we relied on the memorials and documents reported from various places to understand the sufferings of the people. When we went out for a little while, we were surrounded by people shouting and shouting as if we were facing an enemy, and it was rare to see them. The reason was nothing more than the traffic at that time.  It was not developed enough, the communication was not convenient enough, the customs were not open enough, and the etiquette system was not loose enough. Even if a few emperors occasionally visited the capital, they would be regarded by the imperial censors as wasting public funds and disturbing the local area, or ridiculed by later generations as seeking pleasure.  , not doing their jobs properly. Now that transportation and communication are so convenient, and the democratic and republican atmosphere is gradually spreading, why can't we go out and invite people in?"

    Yang Du was stunned for a moment: "What does Bai Xi mean?"

    Sun Yuanqi explained: "The so-called 'going out' means that everyone from the president to the prime minister, down to the ministers and deputy ministers of various ministries, etc., choose representative places at the right time to visit, conduct surveys and research, and even explore the actual situation. For example  If northern Jiangsu encounters a drought recently, you can go to visit the disaster situation and decide how to provide relief. For example, if there is local unrest in Henan, you can visit the area in person to inspect combat readiness, supervise operations, etc. If the time permits, you can even go to surrounding areas.  country visits and exchanges.¡±

    In Sun Yuanqi¡¯s impression, at least one-third of the time of future heads of state was spent traveling to various places for research and overseas visits.  In the early years of the Republic of China, from top to bottom, no one had any idea or consciousness of taking the initiative to leave the capital!
