Red Alert 1895

"I, Taiwan, will never join this treasonous plan of mutual protection in the southeast. I will never allow some governors and ministers to secretly implement traitorous countries. I express great indignation in Taiwan. From Governor Wang Guorui, there are thousands of people in Taiwan. All officials and people are patriotic. Strictly reject such acts of splitting the country. Anyone who splits the country is the enemy of our Taiwan. Therefore, Taiwan assures the people of the whole country that no matter what happens, Taiwan is a part of China. They will not stand on their own country."

"As long as there is a need in the center, Taiwan will send troops to the north to serve the king, and will fight with foreigners. We have nothing else in Taiwan, that is, a utter loyalty to the motherland."

As impassioned guarantees were sent to major newspapers and periodicals by telegram, students in the mainland also began to observe Taiwan Guorui's guarantee. This has made many people realize Taiwan again, and everyone has realized that Taiwan is very "patriotic".

"Master Wang, the governor of Taiwan, is amazing, he can be so loyal!" "Yes! Lord Wang is a patriotic person and a loyal minister!" "Loyal minister, Lord Wang is definitely a loyal minister, a loyal minister!"

Everyone in the north and south of the river is talking about this matter, especially many governors and officials in the frontier. They are also taking advantage of this time to prepare for mutual protection between the southeast and the southeast, evading the responsibility of defending their home and country. But on the contrary, Taiwan, which is far away in the sky, can take the initiative to make a voice, can actively support,...protect the imperial court, and is willing to send troops to protect the imperial court. This is definitely patriotic. Let everyone start to have a better understanding of Taiwan, and this is to make Taiwan win the hearts of the people.

"Look at those governors and feudal officials. They are all scared when they face foreigners at this time, and they dare not fight foreigners. But Taiwan has fought foreigners several times. Not only did they take the initiative to fight foreigners , and can continue to help the court. This is definitely a powerful person. Mr. Wang is definitely a loyal minister, a great loyal minister." A poor scholar said.

But some people immediately said angrily: "Wang Guorui, how dare you call yourself patriotic here? Don't you know that this Wang Guorui is a great thief of the country, and everything he did was betraying the country. He betrayed the Reform Party back then, You betrayed the emperor. But now you come here to pretend to be a loyal minister and a filial son, and you pretend to be a patriotic person here, it's really disgusting."

"Liang Qichao, are you still here to slander Wang Guorui? Master Wang said that the 200,000 troops are ready for the Northern Expedition at any time, ready to fight against foreigners for the court. But you are still here to slander Mr. Wang, you really have no conscience." Mr. Wang is such a patriotic person, so you can actually slander him?"

The guy who scolded Wang Guorui was Liang Qichao. Since he made some reform a few years ago, Wang Guorui took advantage of it first. Then they betrayed them again, so that the Reform Party was all arrested. Even the Reform Party was killed a lot, but Kang Youwei and Liang Qichao were the ones who slipped through the net in the legend. And ever since Liang Qichao found out that Wang Guorui had betrayed them, Liang Qichao also tried his best to write articles scolding Wang Guorui in the newspapers. He would oppose everything that Wang Guorui agreed with, and he would find reasonable reasons to oppose it. And even for personal attacks, they cursed vigorously anyway.

Once, Zheng Hong, a woman of Wang Guorui, couldn't stand it anymore, because that Liang Qichao was swearing without principle. Even Wang Guorui's family scolded him, which was very ugly. Sometimes even Zheng Hong would follow suit. He even made up all kinds of gossip for some of Wang Guorui's women, even attacking women's chastity from fame and festivals. That's why Zheng Hong was furious. In ancient times, using a woman's name to attack was a huge hatred. If you didn't know, you thought Zheng Hong had cuckolded Wang Guorui. How could a woman like Zheng Hong tolerate this? So Zheng Hong instructed Zhou Chen, director of the Beijing Office, to send an agent to do him.

Fortunately, Zhou Chen took the initiative to send a telegram to Wang Guorui. Only then did Wang Guorui stop. Although Wang Guorui knew that Liang Qichao scolded very badly, he even insulted Wang Guorui's family and greeted the women in Wang Guorui's family. But what can this be? Can Wang Guorui still be like the king in the past, who would kill someone if he scolded you? in hereafter. To put it bluntly, Wang Guorui would often greet the women in the homes of those state leaders when he was dissatisfied with the government's policies, but did this person take revenge on himself because of the state leaders?

So since the age of democracy has entered the era, you have to be more generous. If you don’t want people to scold you a few words and then greet you, the women in your family will kill each other, no one else. As a national leader, there must be many opponents in the country, so it is not a strange thing for them to greet the women in the family, but it is very normal. Are you going to kill them one by one, this is definitely impossible. In this era, it is impossible to kill people casually. So as a politician, if you have to care about everything, then you can't care about it at all. If you don't have a big belly, how can you be a leader? Since ancient times, I have never heard of a founding emperor, and he would be very small. Most of the founding emperors are very generous. Is this accidental? If you don't have a big belly, how can you get the support of the people? If you frequently kill people and destroy families and families, you will only be able to drive away those who support you. Except for Zhu Yuanzhang, most of the other founding emperors were people with great tolerance.

This was also the reason why Liang Qichao was able to survive, but he didn't appreciate it at all. Instead, he continued to scold Wang Guorui, thinking that he would not stop until he scolded Wang Guorui to death.

"Liang Qichao, Mr. Wang can send troops to support the imperial court. Isn't that patriotic? Look at the other governors, all of them are protecting themselves, and then they protect each other in the southeast. Isn't this putting our northern people in dire straits? Everyone They are all the people of the Qing Dynasty. They actually put us in dire straits in order to protect themselves. And they also said that once the emperor and queen mother are in trouble, they will have to establish their own country and rule the southeast half of the country. It is really unreasonable. If you want to split the country , Splitting our Qing Dynasty, can this kind of thing be tolerated? Wang Guorui assures everyone that he will never classify countries, so he is a loyal minister!"

Liang Qichao then scolded: "He's just putting on a show!"

But Liang Qichao was actually right, Wang Guorui was indeed putting on a show. Wang Guorui knows that there are many people in later generations who seek to make profits for themselves in the name of so-called patriotism. And they are afraid that others will not know that they are "patriotic". They incite the people to smash foreign cars, and then seem to think that using foreign products is betraying the country. Then there are many people who say that they are patriotic if they don’t study abroad, and they think that if they don’t buy anything from foreigners or learn foreign languages, they are patriotic.

One by one, they took the initiative to express their "patriotism" by doing various actions, and they also deliberately attacked those who did nothing, saying that they were not "patriotic". Those who honestly do their own jobs are sprayed as unpatriotic by those "patriotic" people. And only those who participate in their production and show off are truly "patriotic". In fact, as long as you do your own job well, do your job well, and those who are capable will obey the law and pay taxes according to the regulations, that is also patriotic.

But this kind of thing is too "ordinary". It seems that this kind of simple compliance with laws and regulations and paying taxes cannot reflect one's "patriotism", and many "patriotic" shows have come out, such as banning foreign goods, smashing foreign goods, Do not study foreign languages ​​and so on. There is even a saying that failing a foreign language is patriotic, and this kind of weird argument has also come out.

And if you refute him, you are not patriotic. Those guys have tied themselves to the so-called "patriotism". On the moral high ground, instead, they deceive people who think kindness. Those really smart people can see that they are using the banner of patriotism to make profits for themselves and incite the people to make profits for themselves. For those who smashed foreign cars, Wang Guorui could only say hehe. If you smash a foreign car, people might be even happier, because if the car is smashed, you will still have to buy it, and at least the maintenance fee will be an income.

Wang Guorui also knew in later generations that this kind of "patriotism" is too deep, and it is entirely because some people are fooling the people! But there are still many people who really believe in these "patriots" and follow them to make a fuss. A lot of students don't study hard, and then follow the gang of "patriots" to make a fool of themselves, ignoring that they are students, and their duty is to study hard. Some workers who entered the society also left production and went to "patriotic".

And Wang Guorui now also learns from them and shows his "patriotism" by putting on a show. And "patriotism" can be compared. If you don't show off, how will others know that you are "patriotic"? Countless "patriots" in this world are actually putting on a show. True patriotism is to do one's own job well, abide by laws and regulations and pay taxes according to regulations, not some patriotic show. But there are too many people in this world who can't see clearly. They really regard those "patriots" who put on a show as patriots. This is obviously sad. (to be continued...)
