Chapter 50 revolutionary hat

In the year of 1911, when the revolution broke out across the country, the revolution changed from a rebellion to a positive reform. No, it is a revolution, which is an imported product. Compared with the revolution in the Chinese context, it has richer connotations and positive values. word.Strictly speaking, this kind of revolution is a hat, and when you wear this hat, you can do everything with confidence. There have been incidents of resistance to rent and taxation in all dynasties.If there is a big disturbance, there will be soldiers to suppress it.However, they generally calm things down and don't use weapons easily.However, under the rule of the revolutionaries, those who dare to do such things will be severely punished.In Changshu, Jiangsu Province, it was discovered that there was a "Thousand People's Association" resisting the rent. The revolutionary army marched in and faced the unarmed peasants, bombarded them, and shot them away.This kind of suppression was impossible for the county magistrates in the late Qing Dynasty. As long as the rioters did not hit the county town, the army could not be mobilized.Don't dare to shoot casually after mobilizing, otherwise Master Du's bullets will go up.Similarly, what the late Qing Dynasty did not dare to do was an article on the heads of the common people.When the Qing Dynasty entered the customs, people were asked to shave their hair on the top of their heads and keep braids behind their heads; now the revolutionaries want people to keep their hair on top of their heads and cut off their braids behind their heads.What's uncomfortable is that both of them are using force, pressing their heads forcefully.During the revolution, the imperial court didn’t care about braids anymore, but the revolutionaries cared. Almost all the cities occupied by the revolutionaries could be seen with their braids just cut off and half-length shawl hair like some fashionable artists today. The revolutionary soldiers patrolling the streets in groups, and if they found any peasants with uncut braids, they would catch them and snap them like a pair of scissors, and there was nothing else to say.The peasants who didn't want to have their braids cut off simply didn't go to the city, or they wore a big hat or a Taoist priest's crown when they went to the city.It's a pity that this little trick can't fool the revolutionaries. If you take off your hat, it's still a scissors.Only in big cities, people working under the hands of foreigners may be spared. When foreigners came forward and reasoned with the revolutionaries, saying that they violated personal freedom, the revolutionaries had no choice but to stop.Obviously, the government in the late Qing Dynasty has long since stopped doing such articles on people's heads.During the New Deal period, there were more and more returning overseas students who cut their braids and radical foreign school students.On the part of the government, they probably opened their eyes and closed their eyes, as long as they put on a fake braid and forget it.In the end, I didn't even care about pretending to have fake braids.Some people even sneaked into the government, became officials in an upright manner, and were reused.There is no way, when the New Deal employs people, it is not necessary.During the time of Xuantong, there were folk songs in Beijing that satirized that only those who became monks (referring to those without braids) could be officials.However, under the rule of the Revolutionary Party, it is troublesome for people with braids to be ordinary people, let alone officials.

The revolution was successful, and the revolutionaries sat in the yamen.The titles of lord and lord have been removed, the guard of honor of the official lord has been removed, and the tiger head card has been removed.However, the Revolutionary Party, which has taken over the Great Seal, is still majestic, riding on tall horses, and behind it is a group of shawl-haired revolutionary soldiers carrying fast guns.The magistrate of the county in the late Qing Dynasty, if someone contradicted him, he would at most be arrested to beat him up. If the place is enlightened, the progress of judicial reform is fast, and he can't even beat him up.However, in places where the revolution is over, as long as the magistrate of the party is not happy, he can arrest people and kill them.Killing a person is like trampling on an ant.Jing Meijiu, an old revolutionary, told a story that happened in Yuncheng, Shanxi.The revolutionaries who occupy Yuncheng and sit in the Yamen need someone who understands telegrams.There were not many such talents in those days. They had to understand machines, be able to shoot and send, and also understand codes. They were generally very arrogant, and they were usually cultivated by foreigners.Someone recommended one, but after this person came, the revolutionaries actually forgot to use it and left him there for a long time without asking.How could such a talent back then be so neglected? When he got angry, he wrote a letter to condemn these new officials.Unexpectedly, this letter actually angered the county magistrate, a revolutionary. That night, he sent someone to arrest him. He was charged with spreading rumors and causing trouble. He was sentenced to death in court immediately.At dawn the next day, this unlucky death row prisoner was tied up, with a flag of death on his back, and escorted to the execution ground for questioning and beheading.If he hadn't met a well-meaning person from the revolutionary party, Jing Meijiu's wife, who tried her best to intercede and interfere, this person would have been killed.Even so, the angry Xin County Grandpa still insisted on sentence this person to life imprisonment.This unlucky man was not an official of the Qing Dynasty, nor was he a Qing soldier who fought against the revolution. He almost lost his head after only complaining a few words.Such a thing, even in the early years of the Qing Dynasty, when the rule was particularly tyrannical, even if the county magistrate wanted it, it would be difficult to handle-the procedure is too complicated.Even if a capital crime is really committed, it must be interrogated level by level. Finally, the Ministry of Punishment, the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and the Three Halls of Dali Temple will approve the case, and then you have to wait for the emperor's approval before the operation can be performed in autumn.However, the revolutionaries who claimed to abolish the tyranny of the late Qing Dynasty killed individuals, just like this hastily, deliberately making a footnote to "disregarding human life".

Obviously, the revolutionaries are not born easy to kill, just because their heads have been filled with revolutionary legitimacy.The revolution happened. From ancient times to the present, where is there such a good thing?As long as the revolution is successful, everything will be better in China and the Chinese people, and the Chinese will no longer be slaves of foreign races (Manchus), and the country will keep up with the trend of progress in the world, civilized, wealthy, and modern, as good as it can be .Such a career, what else can compare with it?What else can stand in the way?People who are engaged in such a career should be more tempered. It is nothing to kill a few people, especially those who dare to say no to the revolutionaries, and wrong some ordinary people who are not willing to cut off the braids that are a symbol of slavery. It can be regarded as removing obstacles to the revolution.

Therefore, during this period, the more newly joined revolutionaries, the more confident they will be, and if these people have made some contributions to the revolution, the more confident they will be.When doing things, he is rough and arrogant.On their heads, there is a big revolutionary hat, and everything they do is covered by this hat.The people and things covered by the hats are unconsciously transformed and become incomprehensible.
