Chapter 224 Don't talk about killing

It turns out that most people in Xinjiang also want the environment to stabilize.

Every time Hu Chuyuan inspects a place, a large number of young people will emerge from the place, many of whom ask to participate in the war with very good horses. Especially in the areas of Yanqi and Aksu, many Uighurs and Hui herdsmen and farmers have donated the local famous Yanqi horses, which are very suitable for use in Xinjiang Province.

The idea of the people is very simple. I heard that he is the largest official in China, one level lower than the emperor. It seems that they can feel the existence of hope. For this hope, they are willing to take everything to exchange.

Hu Chuyuan walked around Xinjiang Province, inspected ten counties, and recruited two brigades of cavalry for the Shaanxi-Ganning Corps of Harper's. It was so fast and easy that he and all officials sighed for it.

The hearts of the people can be used. As long as there is the support of the people, there is really no war in the world that can't be won.

Hu Chuyuan reorganized the personnel and let Harper's Ying maintain the policy that the army is a military academy, and teach and train these brave people to help them become regular soldiers. In the long run, he will use these people as the foundation to prepare for the construction of a new Xinjiang regiment.

To stabilize the hearts of the people and the military in Xinjiang Province, Hu Chuyuan returned to the capital in March 1900. At this time, Li Kaiye had begun to plan some partial counterattacks, creating human pressure on the Ye Erqiang rebels.

For this kind of rebels, as long as there is pressure, their military heart is easily lax. What's more, a large part of the so-called 100,000 people are the strong men expelled and captured by the Russians in Kazakhstan.

He left Xinjiang by train and passed through Gansu, Shaanxi and Henan again. Hu Chuyuan still could only see the ignorant and backward China, but he no longer had any worries in his heart.

He knows.

Now, you can continue to laugh at China's ignorance and backwardness, and ridicule that Chinese people still have savage braids like pigs' tails, but you can't ignore that since 1900, the central finance has officially allocated funds for education, forming a three-way cooperation force between the central, local and private.

In 1900, the total amount of funds allocated by the Qing Zheng Axe Central Committee to the provinces for education was 74 million yuan. The local finances of the provinces will take out another 33 million yuan, and the local rich gentry, businessmen and villagers will donate part of the funds to prepare for the establishment of private schools and private schools.

Hu Chuyuan's personal donation to education is still maintained at 100 million yuan, which has been maintained for six consecutive years. In addition to him, the total amount of donations from the Hui Chamber of Commerce, the Chinese General Chamber of Commerce and the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce is also close to 100 million yuan.

According to the data held by Hu Chuyuan, this year, the total national investment in education may exceed 400 million yuan, which is equivalent to 40% of the revenue of the central government of the Qing Dynasty.

Compared with the United States and Germany, there is still a gap. The U.S. central government's investment in education was not high. In 1899, the total allocation at the state level was about $72 million, but the total allocation at the city and county level was as high as $130 million.

Education investment is the second largest expenditure in the local finance of the United States. At the same time, in 1870, 9,200 people obtained bachelor's, master's and doctoral degrees in the United States, and by 1899, it increased by 21,400 people. This rate is still increasing at a rate of 5% per year and is expected to be in 1915. It will reach 50,000 people a year.

In current Germany, there is one primary school for every 6,000 people and one middle school for every 14,000 people. Compulsory education is fully adopted. There are more high schools and universities. The total number of bachelors, masters and doctors trained in 1899 reached 34,700. The literacy rate of citizens increased from 13% in 1870 to 70%.

Between 1851 and 1900, among the major technological breakthroughs made worldwide, there were about 200 Germans, accounting for 30% of the weight.

Let's talk about Japanese.

Japan carried out the reform of the modern education system from 1873. Although the economic development was suppressed, from 1883 to 1886, the penetration rate of compulsory education also reached 50%, and in 1899, the penetration rate reached 93.7%.

Many people think that Japan is a country with poor soldiers, but since 1880, Japan's investment in education has always occupied the first place in Japan's political spending.

Taking advantage of British and French loans and support conditions, Japan will send 1,000 international students to study in Britain, France and Germany every year.

Education is a big problem.

In the 20th century, China's complete decline may not be due to institutional problems, but educational problems.

If you think that China's economy is the first in Asia and wins Japan on the battlefield, Japan will surrender and even turn to you... That's really a delusion. Looking at today with the idea of the 21st century, there are indeed too many strange things in the world.

Wake up, this is an era of social Darwinism. No one believes that China will take care of Japan and North Korea after becoming a powerful country. The strong rise of China in Asia only means that I am facing elimination in racial competition... Even if the Chinese don't think so, I think so. This is also the reason why I advocate East Asian white people and try my best to prove that I am "white" than other Asians.

Hu Chuyuan is very clear that he does not have obvious militaristic ideas in education, but social Darwinian ideas are full of almost every place that can appear.

Similarly, education in China, education in Germany, education in the United States, education in France, education in Russia, education in Romania... Social Darwinian ideas are everywhere, and this is the reason why World War I and World War II are bound to come.

At this time, no one in the whole world believes that all countries and nations can live in peace. If all races want not to be eliminated, they must become powerful countries. If they are not strong, countries and nations will be enslaved... This is the key factor that I have the greatest hostility to China at this time, or social Darwinism from 1 It began to expand in the mid-9th century, which also laid the foundation for later national reading ideas and more national wars.

In Hu Chuyuan's view, the system is never the most critical. The key is the investment in education. When the people wake up, the system will no longer be a problem, although in modern education, social Darwinism is ubiquitous.

Through the popularization of newspapers and the distribution of the official's internal reading "Political Reference", the social Darwin's spirit has also generated a huge pressure, and this pressure is the basis of the "kaihua movement", which is precisely to inspire all Chinese people to awaken and work together for the competition of the whole nation.

People realize that the number of Jinshi places per year alone can no longer improve the country and keep up with the times.

Although Weng Tonghe is still quibbling, and more rich smen and villagers continue to be pedantic to prevent all new changes, many people have taken action, and the number of people who attach importance to new education and new national spirit is indeed increasing rapidly across the country.

You can't expect China to change overnight. After all, conservative and rigid people still account for the vast majority, but you should also see that the number of progressive and radical people is increasing.

Of the 380 million people, there may be 330 million people who are conservative people, indifferent people, ignorant people, pedantic and rigid people, people who blindly believe in Confucianism and tradition, people who hate and curse change, and those who swear to defend the ancestral system to the death. However, as long as 10 million people converge with change, this is enough to slowly change China. ...Then, the range will get bigger and bigger.

Especially in the six provinces of Jiangnan, in the past ten years, the education system of the six provinces of Jiangnan has developed very soundly. Each township has already has a school. In terms of the percentage of universal education, it may be far less than that of Japan, the United States and Germany, but there is not much difference in the total.

In the past two decades, nearly 10 million quasi-intellectuals have emerged in the six provinces of the south of the Yangtze River. In the past five years, there have been about 7,000 people studying in universities and abroad every year. One third of them are donated, one of them are self-funded, and one third is trained by the state.

In the six provinces of Jiangnan, there are 14 universities and colleges in the modern sense, and more than 100 technical schools, technical schools and vocational high schools.

The scale of Liangguang and Shandong followed closely. Zhili and Huguang have just begun to embark on this road in recent years, but they have also developed rapidly. As long as you have the foundation of the six provinces in the south of the Yangtze River, have your own talents, and have your own high school students, bachelor's, master's and doctoral degrees, it will be very easy to open more primary schools, junior high schools, high schools, universities and technical colleges.

It should be said that after the previous two decades of brewing, China's education has begun to enter a stage of development.

Even if you are in Henan and can't feel this change, the data can still tell you everything.

All of them are Hu Party. You can say that Hu Chuyuan is studying at all, but you must admit that China's efficiency is indeed amazing. As long as he orders, the governors, magistrates and magistrates in various places will run non-stop.

They may not understand how much it means to do these educations, but they know that they can't get promoted if they don't do it well.

So, even if they don't support it in their hearts, they will pretend to be very supportive and work hard to support them.

Enough.

That's enough.

For most officials, Hu Chuyuan's requirements are not high.

For them, Hu Chuyuan only has one sentence... It doesn't matter if you don't understand the German Empire, you don't know how to do it, it doesn't matter, just imitate it, and everything is copied from the German Empire, including German social Darwinism.

Hu Chuyuan thought that everything was going well, and China would continue to gradually become stronger, but when the train arrived in Kaifeng, he suddenly received a new emergency telegram... Yihe Boxing organized a rebellion, demanding to "kill foreigners, kill Han anniper", and the first person on the list of Han anniper was him... Hu Chuyuan.

At this time, it was only a few kilometers away from the Kaifeng Yellow River Bridge. After crossing the Yellow River, he stepped into the scope of Zhili, which was also the area of Yihe Boxing organized riots.

Just like the Yellow Turban Uprising, Yihequan's organizations in Hebei and Shandong broke out at the same time on the 16th day of the second month of the lunar calendar (March 16, 1900), destroying factories and churches, destroying railways, power lines, smashing schools, and even killing school teachers, railway workers and factory technicians.

Because it was a sudden outbreak, the number of people is still unclear, but there are about 10,000 people in Beiping New District alone. Because the whole new district does not have a whole set of walls like the old city, dozens of factories have been looted and turned into a sea of fire. It happened that a new oil refinery was built there, and the stored oil caused a large-scale explosion.

For a moment, Hu Chuyuan was a little speechless.

Sun Zongyuan has parked the train in the station and asked Li Cunyi to immediately send troops off the station to guard the surrounding area of the train.

Hu Chu's face turned blue, and he stared coldly at the messy report in his hand. He didn't know how angry he was. There are many people in Hebei and Shandong. He has always tried to find a way to transfer to the northeast. Every year, if there is a slight famine, he will let the treasury open warehouses for relief, and try his best to arrange employment in local areas.

In the past ten years, he was worried that the employment rate in Hebei was too low. He raised a large amount of funds for construction in Hebei. More reservoirs and canals were built than in any other province, and promoted cotton and soybean cultivation in local areas to revitalize the economy.

He thought that as long as the people were fed and dressed, it was unlikely that there would be a large-scale uprising, but he didn't expect that a "kaihua movement" would cause so many troubles.

He was silent for a long time and couldn't speak, but what he felt in his heart was a kind of betrayal and sadness.

How long will ignorance and ignorance be rampant on this land?

Because Baoding is a little far away from Tianjin and Yanjing, for the long-term triangular effect, he specially established a new Beiping new area in Bazhou, which is exactly 75 kilometers away from Yanjing and Tianjin, with petrochemical, ceramics and textile industries as the main body, and the world's first geothermal power plant.

For this Beiping New Area plan, he has paved the way since the beginning of setting up the Jinjin Railway and the Jinghan Railway, deliberately meeting here to prepare for long-term development.

He even plans to build Beiping New District into a new Hebei capital, which will better radiate the whole Hebei than Shijiazhuang, and form a good interaction with Tianjin and Yanjing to form a long-term triangular economic center.

He has made so many plans for Hebei, and he has invested nearly 100 million yuan.

As a result... a fire burned out, and so many people died.

However, what makes him even more sad is a decision he must make.

He knew that if he was a little more attentive in the position of the first assistant minister, in fact, everything could be avoided.

Self-blame.

However, it won't help.

He could only silently lift the pen and write the four words "kill" in the report. Each stroke was written very hard, extremely sad, but extremely angry.

At this moment, maybe only he can understand his mood.
