Chapter 94 Farewell, imperial examination system

While Yuan Shikai was busy promoting the five ministers to study abroad, he finally completed the mission entrusted to him by history. In 1905, Yuan Shikai's opponent Wang Wenshao packed up his clothes and left.Because of his aging body, he could not continue to work and had to retire. Yuan Shikai is a person with a very keen political sense, and his intuition tells him that Wang Wenshao's departure is a good opportunity to abolish the imperial examination.Wang Wenshao, who did not love the imperial examination, took the lead in obstructing it. Would Cixi, who was willing to reform the political system, still be afraid of abolishing the imperial examination?

Yuan Shikai firmly believes that reform is the general trend, and anyone who opposes the abolition of the imperial examination will be crushed into dust by the wheel of history! On September 2, 1905, Yuan Shikai pulled Zhang Zhidong, Duan Fang and other well-known frontier officials on board his warship, and jointly played "Please Abolish the Imperial Examinations": Ministers and others silently observe the overall situation, familiarize themselves with current trends, I feel that the current critical situation... is really the same moment as a thousand gold... strong neighbors are waiting for me, how can I wait... If you want to remedy the difficult situation, you must start by promoting the school; and if you want to promote the school, you must first stop the imperial examination...

Yuan Shikai leads the lead role, Zhang Zhidong, Duan Fang and other golden supporting roles play the role, and a group of important officials in northern and southern borderlands put on a posture that if the imperial examination is not abolished, the country will be subjugated. On the same day, Cixi issued an edict that all imperial examinations were stopped. So far, the imperial examination system, which has a long history and has been passed down for 1,300 years, and is known as the "fifth invention of China", has been abandoned after several twists and turns. Let us remember this day together!Also remember Yuan Shikai's efforts!

Later, Yuan Daguan made persistent efforts and announced that in Zhili Province, women could study.From then on, girls can go out of the house to read and read in a fair manner. China's first women's normal school, Tianjin Beiyang Normal School for Women, was formally established in 1906 under the warm care of Mr. Yuan. It's a pity that after the establishment of the school, there are no students. After all, most men don't want their daughters or women to show their faces in public. Officer Yuan has a solution!After patient persuasion and persuasion, my wife and daughter finally agreed to enroll in school to set an example for the world!

Under the advertising effect of the family members of the dignified Zhili governor and Beiyang minister, many families put down their burdens, liberated their women and daughters from the boudoir, and sent them to school to study. After more than a year, the school's student population has finally stabilized.Celebrities like Deng Yingchao, Guo Longzhen, Liu Qingyang, Xu Guangping, etc. all graduated from Tianjin Beiyang Normal School for Women. The establishment of my country's first girls' school shows that Yuan Shikai still respects women very much. It is not an exaggeration to say that he actively promoted women's rights and was a pioneer in women's liberation. He can be regarded as a positive figure in the history of the development of women's movements in my country.But his own behavior is not justified: one wife and nine concubines.Not only that, but three of them were prostitutes.

From this point of view, Comrade Yuan Shikai still inherited to a certain extent the management concept of traditional Chinese bureaucrats who are more lenient than self-discipline and stricter with others. No matter what, up to now, Yuan Shikai is still brave and wise. He has courage, and is good at discovering opportunities, and can accurately predict the direction of development of things!
