Chapter 45 The Principle of Revolutionary Continuity and Its Evil Results (June 16, 1913)

Since the establishment of the Republic of China, it has only been more than ten months, and those who have heard of the second revolution are almost no provinces, and even three or four times (such as Hunan, such as Shu), or even seven or eight times (such as Hubei), Recently, there has been a rebellion in Jiangxi, especially the author of Zhang Ming.The commentators may think that the authorities are out of power, and it is appropriate to call them; or they say that the chaotic people have wolfish ambitions, which are really different from others.The two speakers of Sri Lanka have their own meaning, although it is not the ultimate.Looking at Chinese and foreign history books, the country has never had a revolution from the beginning, and it has already been heard. Once there has been a revolution, the second and third times will continue to follow each other, which is almost inevitable.At the turn of the great revolutions of the past dynasties in our country, there are turbulent heroes, the world is full of turmoil, and there are repeated rises and falls. It is determined after decades of constant reading.However, it is still said that autocracy and private world should be rewarded and seized, not because it is discussed at the beginning of the republic.Those who talk about revolution and republic must take France as their ancestral home. However, since the Great Revolution, France has been followed by waves of revolution for eighty years, and its political system has changed from time to time.In the first ten years or so, Denton, Marat, Robert Beale, and Napoleon were good at artifacts one after another, trapping their country in an era of terror for more than a century.Since then, more than a dozen countries in Central America and South America have followed the same pattern, and each of them slaughtered each other, using the country for the sole bet of the heroes.Recently, Mexico has changed its head of state three times between two years old.Afterwards, whoever succeeds in this follow-up attack will be judged to the extreme!Portugal has not yet done so, but there are shady images all over the country, and those who have a little knowledge will know that they cannot last forever.That is to say, the people with the deepest roots are like the United Kingdom. The revolution of the seventeenth century captured Collingwell's death and ended the situation.From this point of view, the resumption of revolution and revolution has almost become a universal principle in history, and those who build a country by revolution may not be able to avoid it. (Only the United States seems to be an exception in China, but the United States is independent rather than revolutionary. Previously, the British ruling power could not be fully exercised in the United States. The independence of the United States was actually obtained by expanding and consolidating its inherent autonomy.) If there is an effect in the world, there must be a cause. Why does the revolution have to resume the revolution?This is why it is available.

First, before the revolution, the previous government must be as poor as Mao, and the whole country will hate the suffering, and those who can stand up and face difficulties, the people look forward to them as old as they are old.Therefore, revolution becomes a virtue, and honor is attributed to it.And it is successful, but the psychological trend of the masses is that it is second nature to praise the revolution.The impetuous people use this to rank themselves, while the naive and naive people think that revolution is the highest vocation in life, saying that a man born with blood is only for the use of revolution. .If anyone dares to infringe on the sanctity of the word "revolution" with a single word, it is as if the hatred is irreconcilable.This kind of fallacy is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and it is a dangerous revolution, thinking that daily food and drink are also solid.

Second, after a revolution, the social status has changed a lot. It's not uncommon for a person who is a senior official to be reduced to a member of the gangster, a husband who is in the middle of nowhere, and a person who strives to become a general.The lady loves the rich and the noble and hates the humble and the poor. Seeing that her husband takes a temporary risk and can change endlessly, she will follow her with flamboyance. The so-called "a man should not be like this"!The so-called "if you don't live with five tripods, you will die with five tripods".This kind of mentality is most enough to sting the halberd and bury the profit-seeking people, so that they will never look back.Its engagement in revolution is like the pursuit of profit by merchants.Three years ago, in Shanghai, a rubber company speculated and won Boqi. Within a few months, people in the city dropped out of all businesses to pursue it, went bankrupt and killed themselves without regret.The taste of revolution is attractive enough, including this kind.

Third, after a revolution, the livelihood of the people has been lost without calculation. Farmers have left their fields, workers have stopped working in factories, and merchants have stopped working in shops. Eighty-nine out of ten people are unemployed. Love also.If you make a mess, you can die nine times, but if you don't, you have to wait for death, so you might as well hope for ninety-one.In the past, there must be a large number of unemployed people, and then they can be gathered for revolution. After the revolution, the unemployed will be twice as many as before. Fourth, it is not easy to gather only the people who hoe the thorns and haggard the yellow crocodile. After the revolution, the veterans will fill the country, and this is a matter of course.At present, the revolution is in progress, and Xiao gathers around threats, fearing that there will not be many, and wishing to enlist the people of the whole country to be incorporated into the revolutionary army;And this generation was once enlisted in the army, and there is no way to recover his old career. What else can he do except bury his spine and plagiarize him?Therefore, it is suitable for the capital of the second revolution.

Fifthly, the former Frenchman Pu Luoer said that whenever the people's livelihood is extremely poor after the revolution, the extravagance and prostitution of urban people will become more and more serious. France is in an era of terror, and the prosperity of music, music and entertainment in Paris is far from the past.I used to doubt that his words were insincere, but now that I look at our country, I believe them.Because the revolution was successful once, before that, there were innumerable and innumerable people who had risen to the top of the ranks in one fell swoop, and had never enjoyed a single day of service in their lives. "Hey, she is the king and Shen Shen!" It is also appropriate for the sudden increase of lust and extravagance.The people are already poor, and they will be cut down again to serve the new nobles, and they will be punished to the bone, so why should they be killed?Those who suffered the most, especially in the Sufeng family before, were framed and framed, and the slaughter was lost, which was taken for granted.Resentment accumulates, reaction arises, and revolution must continue. This is another reason.

Sixth, people's desires are endless, and they often regard their current status as insufficient, and envy them, and those who rely on and coerce are even more so.Reading history in the past, seeing the founders of the past dynasties and the killing of heroes by barbarians, one might not hate their indifference.Although, how can the hero's self-inflicted slaughter be justified?For a person who is proud of his achievements, how can he satisfy his desires?Its meaning is often said: The one who stands tall on me did not rely on my strength to survive today?Ju Heng is unhappy and uncomfortable, and if he is a little restrained, his longing is so strong that he can't bear it anymore. If his old genus returns to the longing and encourages him, he will shake his ears.Therefore, the initiative of the second revolution must always be the person who made contributions to the first revolution, and there is no difference between Chinese and foreign.In the past, when Louis XI was King of France, the Duke of Perry and the Marquis of Contegallo rebelled together, saying in the middle of the country: "I rose for the country's righteousness." Virtue has been so great that I will accept the request of those great nobles to increase their salaries, and they would rather help the country and support righteousness?" Alas, the country has giants, but those who run the country's orders do not have the wisdom of Louis, and they want to avoid the appearance of revolution. It's hard to find.

Seventh, the husband's revolution must have an excuse, so that the government can govern well and beautifully, and if there is no gap to attack, it will be difficult to instigate itself.However, the sudden difficulty of improving politics after the revolution has almost become a principle in history.After the turmoil, everything is still going on, the prestige is not strong, and there are many obstacles to implementation. Therefore, the prosperity of a generation, and its bringing about peace, will be moved after the change of the world.When it was first created, the people's will was uncertain, and the politics were not satisfactory, but things were solid and good.Therefore, during the two or three years after the New Revolution.Although the failure of government is used as the material to instigate reform, there is no way to get it. (P.S.: This text is about common sense, and its common principles have been summarized from history. That is to say, this paragraph is definitely not a defense of the current government, and the current government must not use my words to ridicule it. For the establishment of the current government, This is different from the one obtained by entrusting the monarch to conquer and manage. In the past year, there has been room for political improvement, but the government has not encouraged itself. I can’t blame it for it.) Before and after the revolution, the people’s expectations were correct. It is also the time when the treatment is the most prosperous and the treatment is most urgent.When they advocate revolution, they seldom use exaggerated words to shock the people, saying that once the old dynasty is gone, a golden world will emerge immediately.How do the people know that the husband will not be disappointed if he holds a bond to claim compensation, and the disappointment will be the capital of the instigator.

Eighth, it is difficult to improve politics immediately after the revolution, and it is absolutely difficult to change the surname in an autocratic country; it is especially difficult to change an autocracy into a republic.Gai has a basis for politics, and it is called Zhengji Gang.Ji Gangli, then the order must be followed, and the gains and losses of the policy can be said.A monarchy has its own program, and a democracy has its own program.A country that has been established for thousands of years, relying entirely on the dignity of the monarch and master, is the foundation of all centuries.With a sudden change, it becomes a republic, (it is the best description in the novel, readers should not laugh at its slang.) Those who used to be funded in the past as a tool for maintaining the relationship between the upper and lower are hidden deep and dare not reuse it, and the restrained situation cannot be reused; while the new Ji Gang has no way to stand up suddenly, and standing strong is not enough to be dignified, so how can he be able to implement a single government!With Henkel's valor, Gou Chang and his group of officials drank alcohol and competed for merit, drunk or yelled, drew their swords and struck pillars, just like when they first ascended the throne and Dingtao, how can the Han Dynasty be the Hanfu?After the revolution, everyone created a republic with their own hands, and every family has made contributions to the Republic of China. There are trillions of officials, but they are not enough to pay for honors; It's just a metaphor of steaming sand and begging for food!Those who are in charge of the country have the spirit of heroism and burden, and they can still gradually build up prestige, orderly and serious; otherwise, they are exhausted and perfunctory. Not to mention Yu Liang!After inheriting the revolution, it is still difficult for a talented person to enter politics, let alone a mediocre one.Great talents are not born in the world, so there are three revolutionaries who are brewing for re-revolution, and even eighty-nine.

Ninthly, those in the republic are especially prone to advocate revolution. Although they are selfish wretches, they often use the name of the country to threaten others;It is only necessary to instigate and respond, and it is not necessary to submit the fruit to me. Once the object of the revolution is removed, the mouth of others can be controlled in the name of a unified republic, etc., and their lives will be controlled instead of labor and conquest.This is the capital of a true revolutionist.Although, the capital of the first revolution is also the capital of the second and third times.

Tenth, I heard it, "Where there is good fortune without falsehood, there must be disaster without falsehood." Success is too easy, but the harvest is more than expected, and shallow people are happy, but those with deep knowledge think it is daunting.As with individuals, so with nations.Don't bother with an arrow, don't kill a blade, write and dance in newspapers, make spies play in Zunzu, so it is a revolution in a dream and a republic.Those who come here are fond of Pu Sao, and those who have not tried it are happy to see Liexin.When a newborn calf is born, it is frightened by the feet of a fierce tiger; when it is a child of a tide, it is said that Ming Bo can be exposed.A difficult and dangerous revolution is enough to produce a second revolution, not to mention a simple and enjoyable revolution!Now that the husband is simple and happy, there is no doubt that revolution has become a profession. In addition to scholars, farmers, engineers, and merchants, he has to create a new career. (Water Margin) Zhang Hengdao: "The master has always been on the Xunyang River, doing this psychology of keeping himself safe." Robbers have been a profession for a long time. ) The whole country followed it and consolidated its ears.

From this point of view, it is reasonable to say that revolutions must produce revolutions, and practical things must come.After all, there is cause and effect to be found; extensive searching of history books reveals what happened before.Today, the people of our country see the emergence of the second revolution, and the first phase and astonishment, rather than sympathy?But is this phenomenon a blessing or a disaster for the country?For those who have a little common sense, it is advisable not to repeat this question.Gu Wu sees that there are still many people in the country who are wandering in this question today, so I don't have to worry about the cost of words.I think that if revolution can stop revolution, then why is revolution not a blessing for the country; if revolution is suitable for revolution, then its misfortune and fortune are not to be audited!Those who advocate revolution today, who do not say that I am here today, after a revolution, there will be no more revolutions.At the time of the first revolution, it was also said that after one revolution, there would be no further revolutions, but what is the situation now?If the revolution cannot be achieved today, let’s not talk about it. If it can be achieved, I know that it will not take long and there will be three opportunities for revolution. At that time, those who talked about revolution had a reason for it, and their words are as reasonable as today.It thinks that after a revolution, there will be no further revolution, and it is like today, but what the result is, it is not an afterthought, and few people can believe it.Now if you want to know the cause and the effect, don't ask what the shape of the object to be transformed is, but first ask what the shape of the subject that can be transformed is.Let me ask the ten kinds of truths listed above. After the re-revolution, the evil phenomenon will disappear slightly, or it will continue to increase. The first ten kinds, there are three or four. !Following this rendition, the deadlines for the third and fourth leathers will become more urgent as the filming progresses; the scope of the big leathers and small leathers will be extended and expanded.The soil of China is only used as a square for revolution; people who are born in China are only used as instruments of revolution.Try to think about what the state of Sisi looks like, and what does the people of Sisi do like?An ancient poem said: "Your lord did not cross the river, but you crossed the river and fell into the river and died. What will you do?" But the proverb sums up its purpose and says: "If you don't reach the Yellow River, you will never die." Although these words are slang, they are called good examples.In the past, my friends had tasted a monarch and ministers who were clear in language, and said: If you are not good at it, if you are as good as you are, you will have no luck.The husband, the monarch and his ministers are not only not listening, but also guilty.We have talked about it for more than ten years, and it has been more than ten years since it has been deaf, and he has not yet reached the Yellow River.We clearly see that his illness is going to the river, and the pressure is getting more and more urgent. We feel sorry for him and are anxious, but his illness is still the same.Zhongxing Daoxiao was poor in the 1911 Revolution, and almost three points of Linhe was hanging outside, or the common people woke up suddenly, but they have already plummeted and become stronger.Those who have not yet reached the Yellow River and their hearts are not dead, I have seen two kinds of people: one is elated and takes revolution as a profession;There are two kinds of people, either left or right, or pushing or pulling, to hold our country forward and cross the great river, and go wildly, and jump and throw, worrying that it will not come soon, and thinking about it every day, so increase it speed force.Alas!It's not far away now.When Dorbin entered the pass, Si Zhou Yanru, Li Zicheng, and Wu Sangui achieved great success; when Ito opened the mansion, the great achievements of Jin Yujun, Li Wanyong, and Li Rongjiu were completed.The Manchurians keep sending Manchuria to the end, the Manchus have not fulfilled their vocation; the Chinese keep sending China to the end, the Chinese people have not fulfilled their vocation.I want the Manchurians to believe that I am not lying, and I am not safe today!I want the Chinese to believe that I am not lying, alas, what do I expect, what do I expect! In the present Qing Dynasty, the revolutionaries were warned with one word: "The revolutionaries in the past were not the revolutionary party, nor the Manchu government. However, what is China? If the public does not want to be Manchuria, it is appropriate to deal with it. Please tell the revolutionaries in one word: the public is revolutionizing for the sake of revolution, or is it revolutionizing for others? Zhigong and others must reply to me and say: I want to revolutionize politics. Then I quoted a proverb and said: If you plant melons, you will reap melons, and if you sow beans, you will reap beans. Revolutions can only produce revolutions, never Reforming politics. Reforming politics has its own flaws. According to the legitimate organs of the state, the powers of information are used to prevent self-professionals from achieving success. Other than that, everything else is hopeless, and those who fail to achieve it Do Chinese people still not believe my words? Then please look through the history of ancient and modern Chinese and foreign countries. Is there ever a country that produced the result of reforming politics due to revolution? Those who listen! Don't listen to it and still can't bear to say nothing, I just do my duty!
