Chapter 062 Revolutionary Party

Li Hongzhang was very relieved by Xu Xilin's high opinion.

As early as ten years ago, Li Hongzhang suggested that the imperial court build railways, create telegraphs, build ships, and develop shipping. However, until now, although the railways of the Qing Dynasty are not without an inch, they are also one of the few. In the largest territory, there are only dozens of kilometers of railways, even less than the railway of Japan, an island country.

"Lord Weng, what the young man said is not unreasonable." Li Hongzhang said to Weng Tongqi.

Weng Tongqi's face turned red. At the beginning, it was the Qing school led by him that prevented the construction of railway telegraphs. Nowadays, after the fall of the First Sino-Japanese War, the Qing army's disadvantage in transportation has been exposed. In fact, if it hadn't been for Zhou's Charter, the war would have been completely defeated by Japan, and an important reason for the failure was the transportation line. Weng Tongqi knew that it was ridiculous at the beginning, so now the emperor is determined to change the law, and Weng Tongqi fully agrees.

"Li Zhongtang, don't talk about the past. Let's look forward." Weng Tong said with a red face.

Zhao Qiaoer bowed to Xu Xilin: "This gentleman came from afar and was tired all the way. My concubine was filial and unhospitalated. Please forgive me."

Xu Xilin arched his hand and said, "You're welcome. I, Xu Xilin, will worship now. After the worship, I will set off immediately and stop talking."

Zhao Qiaoer waved to Zhang Jun's brothers, and everyone gave way.

Xu Xilin bowed to the coffin three times, but did not kowtow. Then he cried loudly: "Zhou Charter, you are a fool, stupid man, I, Xu Xilin, am not worth it for you! You don't want to leave the peaceful life, you don't want to enjoy the glory and wealth, you don't want to let go of your beautiful wife and concubines, you don't want to let go of gold and silver and treasures, you don't want to strip the people, and you don't want to rob the beautiful house of Liangtian, Zhou Charter, you have to look for death! Zhou Charter, you are stupid, hateful!"

Naha Wu listened to Xu Xilin scold Zhou Charter and blushed with anger. He was about to rush up, but he was pulled by Luo Mingfang and whispered, "Lao, this Xu Xilin is not scolding our eldest brother. He is turning around and scolding these Qing officials!"

Then Ha Wu reacted, fucked his arms, and looked at the officials in the mourning hall and sneered.

"Zhou Charter, you idiot, how is this court worth your life! The court doesn't need you to work hard! The court hates you so much! They want you to die! If you die, the court can let go of the cops. Kang Youwei is also a fool, and Liang Qichao is even a little fool. They even want to make some new changes. No matter how the court changes, it's just a way for the people!"

Xu Xilin cried and complained here, and everyone was in a cold sweat.

What Xu Xilin said became more and more different. At first, he scolded the court, but the following words sounded as if to overthrow the court. How dare you say such words in public? That's to kill the nine clans. This guy is either crazy or bold!

Na Tong shouted: "The bold madman dares to abuse the court in public. There is no doubt that he will disturb the party from time to time. Come and arrest him!"

Zhao Qiaoer hurriedly said, "Your Excellency, Xu Xilin came thousands of miles from Shaoxing. He didn't have breakfast all the way. He was too sad. He lost his mind for a while and talked nonsense. Please take care of my husband's face and let him go..."

Before Zhao Qiaoer finished his words, Xu Xilin cried out, "Zhou Charter, you don't know the current affairs! Kang Youwei is even more ignorant of the world's general trend! The Qing Dynasty is unsupportable, and the imperial court is not enough! If we want to reorganize our Chinese rivers and mountains, we can only overthrow the imperial court and establish a republic!"

Nong shouted strangely: "He is a revolutionary party! Catch the Revolutionary Party!"

The big and small officials in the mourning hall rushed up and arrested Xu Xilin.

Xu Xilin, courtesy name Bo Son, is a native of Shaoxing, Zhejiang Province. Born in a landlord gentry merchant family, he studied in a private school as a child, and successively obtained meritorious deeds such as a student and deputy.

After the end of the First Sino-Japanese War, the Qing Dynasty was defeated by Japan, and the war also woke up many people. Many people of insight came to their senses. The great Chinese power has far behind Japan and lagged behind the world trend. If the Qing Dynasty continues like this, it will inevitably lead to subjugation and extinction.

Many people with insight began to think about saving the country. Most of them thought of the reform and reform. Under the framework of the imperial dictatorship of the Qing Dynasty, they launched a top-down reform and realized the transformation of the Qing Dynasty by abolishing the imperial examination, reforming the official system, building industry, revitalizing military equipment, and developing people's wisdom.

It should be said that this is a prudent approach. If feasible, it can avoid violent turbulence in the country and achieve peaceful transformation, so as to achieve the goal of enriching the country and strengthening the people.

The representatives of these people are Kang Youwei and Liang Qichao. Their ideas have a wide influence and have many fans across the country. They call themselves thewei xin pai.

However, there are still some people who disagree with the Newists. These people call themselves the Revolutionary Party. They are not many, and most of them are young intellectuals at the bottom of society.

The reformists are trying to launch a top-down peaceful change, which is not feasible in the view of the Revolutionary Party.

Because revolutionaries believe that the conservative Manqing authorities will not accept any change, even if it is a limited change, because they are vested interests, and any change will affect or even deprive them of their interests! They will never allow the reformers to get involved in their vested interests, that is to say, they will never tolerate any peaceful change.

The Revolutionary Party believes that if China wants to be rich and strong, it can only take the road of violent revolution, completely overthrow the Qing regime, end the imperial politics, and establish a new republican government. In the process of revolution, with the momentum of destruction, eliminating all conservative and stubborn forces, and starting a new China on the ruins.

The revolution is about to bleed, and the revolution is about to be turbulent!

Compared with the Weixin faction, the power of the revolutionaries is extremely weak, and their voices are difficult to be heard, and their claims are even more difficult to be accepted.

China has a history of two thousand years of imperial rule. Not to mention the princes and ministers, even ordinary people, it is difficult to accept their claim to overthrow the emperor and establish a republic.

In the late Qing Dynasty, the newists and the revolutionary party were once at odds. In order to win over the people, the two sides fought against each other and secretly and hated each other. At the beginning, the newists were powerful, and believers spread to all walks of life across the country. Later, with the failure of the new regime, countless newists saw through the essence of the Qing regime and turned to the revolutionary party.

Xu Xilin is a revolutionary.

He came to Beijing this time, called the Charter of Conces to Zhou, but he actually preached the idea of revolution overthrew the Manchu regime with a mortal belief.

He knew that when Zhou Charter's funeral, Beijing's officials, gentry and ordinary people would gather in the loyal and brave mansion, which was a good time for him to promote the revolution. At that time, even if he was beheaded by the Qing court, the revolutionaries will spread it through spectators and bear fruit among the people.

Xu Xilin's words frightened the officials present. Even the people outside the mourning hall shook their heads one after another to overthrow the emperor, which was really too advanced and seriously beyond the imagination of the people of the Qing Dynasty.

And the brothers of Zhang Jun, such as Naha Wu, Luo Mingfang and Wu Peifu, sound very appetizing. They have long hated the court and the emperor. If Zhou Charter hadn't died, they would have persuaded Zhou Charter to take them against the imperial court.

In this sense, it is also wise for the Empress Dowager to kill Zhou Charter.

Therefore, when Natong and other officials pressed Xu Xilin, Naha Wu, Luo Mingfang and others also rushed up and robbed Xu Xilin. Yao Xi even punched Natong in the face, making Natong black and swollen.

The mourning hall suddenly became a pot of porridge.

Zhang Jun's brothers were all from a military background, and their hands and feet were not light or heavy. Officials usually raised their superiors. They were not the opponents of this group of soldiers. They were beaten to pieces and cried for their father and mother.

However, these officials were beaten, but they went forward and fought bravely for the first place, and none of them retreated. Moreover, they were so many that they knocked down one and rushed up another, surrounding the Zhangjun brothers at the core.

Yao Xi's arms were weak, his hands and feet were slightly relaxed, and he was hit by a few heavy punches on his face. He covered his face and cursed, "Damn you, when you hit the Japanese, you are all cowardly. How can you beat me like this? You play so hard!"

Yao Xi and Zhang Jun brothers don't know that these officials are all helpless to move forward bravely.

The newists and the revolutionary party are both heretics of the Qing Dynasty. The court can tolerate the Weixin faction. After all, the Weixin faction does not advocate overthrowing the imperial power. However, for the revolutionary party, the empress dowager and the emperor have zero tolerance!

Therefore, for the revolutionary party, every official of the Qing Dynasty should stand clearly in the position of the empress dowager and the emperor, and resolutely fight against the revolutionary party to the end. Whoever let go of the revolutionary party, even if there is a little hesitation in the action of capturing the revolutionary party, is disloyalty to the imperial court!

At this time, a revolutionary stands in front of the officials, which is testing the political position of every official. If he does not move forward, his loyalty to the empress dowager and the emperor is questionable. This is Beijing, where the emperor and empress dowager are everywhere. Soon they will run to the Summer Palace or the Forbidden City to make a report. If the empress dowager and the emperor know this, they can't eat it.

Therefore, all the officials moved forward bravely. In fact, everyone was in danger. Everyone was afraid of being beaten. Those who were beaten did not dare to retreat, so they had to grit their teeth and rush forward. Even the two old ministers, Weng Tonghao and Li Hongzhang, rolled up their sleeves, curled up their snow-white beards and shouted, "Catch the revolutionary party!"

Politically, it must be correct, which is the secret of being an official.

In this way, the officials did not dare to retreat, and the brothers of Zhang Jun were not willing to hand over Xu Xilin. The two sides fought together and could not be reconciled. No matter how elegant Zhao Qiaoer was, she couldn't control such a situation. She could only stand in front of Zhou Charter's coffin in a daze. Liu Yingshu was so scared that she had already run out of the mourning hall and hid in the bedroom to tremble.
