Master Yuan, start!

Therefore, after hearing Xu Jiushiguang's dissatisfaction with 4 YiD, Wu Daji hurriedly spoke out to persuade him.

To Wu Daji's surprise, Xu Shiguang not only did not shut up, but his words became even more intense.

"The idea of ​​Manchu-Han integration is sheer bullshit!

They used to say that if barbarians entered China, they would become Chinese. But look at what Prince Gong Yi D did. How is this different from Wu Sangui's betrayal of his country by leading the Qing troops south?

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, they regarded themselves as barbarians, marched southwards into the pass, and invaded China;

Now that they have ruled China for more than 200 years, they still invite the barbarians to come south and invade China.

In this world, how could someone hire someone to rob him?

In my opinion, the Manchus don’t consider themselves Chinese at all! "

"This...this..." Wu Daji was speechless for a moment after being blocked by Xu Shiguang.

Yes, no matter how you justify it, it cannot explain Yi D's move of luring the Russian army south.

"Master Wu, please take a look at this telegram!"

Xu Shiguang raised the telegram in his hand and placed it in front of Wu Da.

This telegram was the one that Yuan Shikai sent to the whole country, expelling the Manchus and the Russians and removing the name of Tartar from the name of all the people.

Wu Daji picked up the paper and silently read the declaration on it, his arms shaking and the corners of his mouth trembling several times.

Looking at Wu Daji's chest heaving and his quite moved expression, Xu Shiguang knew that it was time to deal a fatal blow to the Qing court.

"Sir Wu, should we protect the Qing Dynasty or China?

All Chinese compatriots are waiting for you to expose Yi D's telegram! "

When Heilongjiang was in crisis, Xu Shiguang stood up and asked Wu Dajie to expose Yi D's conspiracy.

This is not a token of allegiance, nor is it about forcing people to take sides.

Instead, it is to let a feudal Chinese bureaucrat from the old era shoulder the responsibilities that a Chinese person in the new era should have.

Only by abandoning the backward feudal loyalty and etiquette and embracing advanced patriotic revolutionary ideas can Qing court officials completely break away from the past.

s: Uncle Siba! Wu Daj is not the first old bureaucrat to be reformed by the Red Confucian Society, and he will definitely not be the last!

Everyone go get the red envelope, the red envelope is here to ask for leave

As the title says, I am thinking about the plot today and how to write the next few lines, so I am taking a day off.

……

You can find red envelopes distributed on the page, go and claim them.

……

If you have any suggestions about the plot, please feel free to leave them in the comment section. Thank you for your support.

Chapter 293 Please, Lord Li, save China!

On February 1896, , in Panyu, the seat of Guangzhou Prefecture, Guangdong Province.

The land of Northeast China is in a state of howling cold winds and covered in snow.

If the people in the north don't wrap themselves in layers of winter clothes, they will not be able to withstand the cold wave coming from Siberia.

However, in the plains south of the Wuling Mountains and on the coast of the South China Sea, the people of Cantonese are about to usher in one of the most comfortable months of the year, March.

The gradual rainy season in April and May is very humid;

In June, July and August, there will be intense heat and humidity that will be unbearable;

In August and September, when it’s finally not so hot and humid, we often face typhoons landing again.

For the Cantonese people living on the coast of the South China Sea, only November and March can be considered "pleasant" among the 12 months of the year.

In this pleasant climate, in a new-style school in Nanhai County, Guangzhou, young students in single clothes huddled together, looking at the latest "Daily News" posted on the wall and discussing with each other animatedly.

The school where these students attended was called "Nanhai Public School", a Western-style school jointly established by Li Hongzhang and Americans after he secured his control of Guangdong and Guangxi.

The school offers majors in liberal arts, science, engineering, foreign languages, mechanics, telegraphy, etc. It employs American instructors to cultivate talents who are proficient in Western learning.

The vast majority of students in the public school are from Guangdong and Guangxi, but there are also some students who come from far away places such as Sichuan, Huguang, Yunnan, Guizhou, Fujian and so on.

In addition, there are students from Anhui who entered through connections, but overall, the majority are from the south.

Yuan Shikai and Liu Kunyi were fighting for their lives north of the Yangtze River, while Li Hongzhang hung up the banner of avoiding fighting and stayed in Lingnan to watch the outcome of the two.

It’s just that Li Hongzhang could sit still, but the young students he trained might not be able to sit still.

There were frequent conflicts and chaos between the North and the South. As early as after Sun Wen issued the famous "Anti-Manchu Telegram" in Taiwan, some students had silently planted the seeds of overthrowing the Qing Dynasty in their hearts.

In order to explore the future of China, a Hunan boy named Huang Xing gathered like-minded classmates, set up discussion groups, founded newspapers, and promoted anti-Manchu ideas.

However, when Yuan Shikai captured Jiangning and captured Liu Kunyi alive, the discussion group fell into depression for a while.

They thought Yuan Shikai had chosen to be loyal to the Qing court and the Manchus.

Now that Jiangning has been captured, a remarkable victory has been achieved, and the hope for the Han people's revival is becoming increasingly slim.

But no one expected that what they thought was the worst outcome was actually the best beginning.

First, Yuan Shikai visited the Mausoleum of Emperor Xiaoling. When this highly politically significant news came out, the young students were very excited and could not hide their excitement.

Then the Regent Prince Yi Xin died of illness, which made them feel that the Qing Dynasty was doomed.

Then, the Russians invaded the south, and Yuan Shikai went north to Korea and announced the "revolution" of expelling the Manchus and the Russians.

After seeing the telegram, the political groups within Nanhai Public School became lively again. Except for a small number of Anhui students and stubborn diehards, most people became excited and cheered for Yuan Shikai for raising the banner of rebellion.

"The National Revolutionary Army will drive out the Manchus and the Russians. The Manchu Tartars will surely perish, and the Russian Tartars will surely be defeated!"

elin4糁伍肿死搜n: Several "colleagues" in the discussion group have been following the major events in the north over the past few days and discussing how to raise the anti-Manchu banner in Lingnan as well.

"Zhongkai, even Yuan Shikai, the most meritorious minister of the Qing Dynasty, was forced to rebel. This shows that the Qing Dynasty is on the verge of collapse and is on its last legs!"

The person who spoke had sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, and spoke with a thick Hunan accent. He was Chen Tianhua, who wrote such heart-stirring articles in history as "A Warning to the World" and "Look Back Suddenly".

"Exactly, absolutely! What Chen Tianhua of Xingtai said is absolutely right. Yuan Xiangcheng is truly a great hero of the Han people!"

Liao Zhongkai could not hide his excitement. He grabbed the braid behind his head and wished he could cut it off right away.

"Humph, that's nonsense. What kind of hero is he? He's just a villain who usurped the throne!"

Just as the two were emotionally fluctuating, several students with obvious Hefei accents made sarcastic remarks.

Liao Zhongkai and Chen Tianhua were furious when they heard this and looked at the Anhui students who were walking slowly towards them.

Li Hongzhang did not go to Guangdong alone. He not only brought his original staff and the old Huai Army, but also mobilized his fellow villagers and recruited many Anhui people to go south to Guangzhou.

Therefore, among the students of Nanhai Public School, apart from the Cantonese who took advantage of their status as landowners, the majority were from Anhui.

Being from Anhui and living far away in Lingnan, he was naturally a supporter of Li Hongzhang.

"The Governor-General provides us with food and clothing, and allows us to learn Western knowledge. If we talk about heroes, the Governor-General is our hero.

If you want to admire someone, you should admire the Governor-General, who has a connection with Yuan Xiangcheng!"

These Anhui people did not necessarily support the Qing Dynasty, but they definitely supported Li Hongzhang, their fellow Hefei native who was entrenched in Guangdong and Guangxi at the time.

In their view, whether it is about opposing the Manchus or being a hero among the Han people, Li Hongzhang is the undisputed number one.

When it came to opposing the Manchus, it was the Governor-General who first spoke out and issued the famous Southeast Mutual Protection Telegram.

"In response to the German and Dutch surveillance, Guangdong did not swell and turn: er Jiu Si stopped twisting h3J killed thinking to obey the imperial edict."

These ten words were the first to be uttered by all the governors, and their tone was the harshest, which really slapped the Qing court in the face.

It was Lord Li Hongzhang who took the lead in issuing the telegram, which led to the subsequent division between the North and the South, and turned the Qing Dynasty into a neither fish nor fowl court.

When the South China Sea Fleet bombarded Spanish warships in Manila, Luzon and rescued the Chinese in Southeast Asia, Yuan Shikai had just set out to become the governor of the three northeastern provinces.

Moreover, even Yuan Shikai sent a congratulatory message on the establishment of the Chinese Concession in Manila.

Now, why did Yuan Shikai become a great hero in the anti-Manchu movement?

"What does it have to do with me that you eat and wear clothes for free? The money for my schooling was all funded by my brother, unlike you people from Anhui who don't have to pay a penny!" Chen Tianhua said angrily. He couldn't stand the arrogance of these people from Hefei the most.

"Yes, after all, the majority of students in the public school are from Guangdong, Guangxi, Huguang, Sichuan and Yunnan, but they don't eat a single ration from the governor!" Liao Zhongkai's mood calmed down a little, but he also refuted with reason and evidence.

"You, you ungrateful southern barbarian, if it weren't for Lord Li guarding Lingnan, how could you sit peacefully in school and study now?" The Anhui student was speechless for a moment and began to use moral blackmail.

"That's also Lord Li's credit. What does it have to do with you? Is it your turn to teach me a lesson?"

In order to maintain its rule, the Manchu Qing Dynasty had been trying hard to stir up provincial and ethnic conflicts for hundreds of years.

In addition, the Anhui students relied on the fact that they were from the same hometown as Li Hongzhang and behaved somewhat domineeringly in Nanhai Public School, which soon aroused conflicts.

"Wait a minute!"

Just as the situation was deteriorating and a fight was about to break out, an older man with a blue and white round headband rushed in from the school gate and stopped the quarreling students.

"Everyone, Sun Wen, even across the vast ocean, was able to found the Revive China Society on these six islands of Taiwan, claiming to be the Revive China Society.

Why are we still attacking each other, even resorting to fistfights, even though we are on the mainland? "

The man's name was Lu Zhonggui, a Cantonese, but he had another more famous name, Lu Haodong.

It was he who founded the Xingzhonghui with Sun Yat-sen in the original time and space, and designed the famous "Blue Sky, White Sun Flag" on the eve of the Guangzhou Uprising.

However, in this time and space, he did not meet Sun Yat-sen. After graduating from the Shanghai Telegraph School, he returned to his hometown to work as a translator at the telegraph office.

When Li Hongzhang founded the Nanhai Public School, he hired him as a "Chinese telegraph instructor" to teach students telegraph courses.

However, he was quite interested in Western knowledge, so while teaching telegraph courses, he also studied European and American scientific, cultural knowledge and democratic ideas as a student in public school.

"Senior Haodong, we are not Manchus, so why would we be loyal to the Manchu Tartar court?

But the Qing lost its power, and the whole world is chasing it. This merit of righteousness cannot be given to Yuan Shikai in any way! "

When the Anhui students saw Lu Haodong coming, their emotions calmed down a little and they began to reason with him.

They were not stupid. As students of Nanyang Public School, they were exposed to many important news from China and abroad on a daily basis. Of course, they knew that the Qing Dynasty was about to collapse.

Since ancient times, when the previous dynasty fell, heroes would rise up all over the world.

Looking around China today, the only person capable of seizing the throne is Yuan Shikai and the Governor-General of Guangdong and Guangxi.

The remaining northwestern Chu faction and the separatist forces in Hubei, Sichuan and Yunnan provinces could only survive in a precarious situation and had no power to dominate the world.
