Qiao Yu drove Xiong Kewu and Yu Peilun out of Sichuan. There was no group in Sichuan that could compete with him, and Yin Changheng's attitude at the military meeting also laid the foundation for his troubles. Pu Dianjun thought that Yin Changheng was dishonest, and Qiao Yu was also lustful.
It was quick to eliminate them, but Yin Changheng seemed to be smarter and directly applied to go to the Sichuan border area to wipe out the remaining Manchu forces, and Qiao Yu approved it.
It's not that Qiao Yu doesn't want to deal with Yin Changheng, it's just that the administrative system has not been straightened out yet, and he can't let others think that he is acting too domineering. If he drives away the revolutionary party and then attacks Yin Changheng, it will easily lead to a situation where everyone is in danger. However, Qiao Yu also
He keeps a close eye on Yin Changheng and will take him down in one fell swoop as long as he reveals any flaws!
After several months of turmoil, the people of Sichuan have finally ushered in a relatively stable period. All the old Lijin levels have been cleared, exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes have been reduced a lot, and the price of salt has dropped to about 65 Wen, and it can continue
After the reduction, life suddenly became a lot easier. Many people increasingly recognized the New Deal and the military government. Except for the most stubborn people, they began to cut off their braids, abolished kneeling to worship, and stopped foot binding. Finally, it looked a little like the Republic of China.
Changing customs is not an easy thing. The Qing Dynasty has a history of more than 200 years, which is nothing compared to the long history of China. However, this is not a short period of time. The founding of the United States was only a little over 100 years ago.
Years old, accumulated habits are not so easy to change, so when Qiao Yu declared independence, he also advocated cutting braids and getting rid of old customs, but it was not mandatory. It was entirely based on volition. The braids on the head were easy to cut, but in his heart
I'm afraid braids are not that easy anymore.
Governing the country means governing the officials. Living in the late Qing Dynasty for more than a year gave Qiao Yu a deeper understanding of the official system. The demise of the Qing Dynasty or the demise of most dynasties in China had a huge relationship with the deterioration of the official system.
As the saying goes, the government forced the people to rebel, and they had no choice but to rebel. Due to frequent wars in the later Republic of China, the changes in officialdom were not very big. On the contrary, almost all the bureaucrats left over from the late Qing Dynasty were accepted. These people exploited the people no less than the Manchu Qing Dynasty.
Qiao Yu's main internal task now is to take advantage of the chaos in the world to reform the civil service as soon as possible and break the local bureaucracy left by the Manchu Qing Dynasty. In fact, the civil service reform is similar to the salt government reform. If he doesn't do it now, he will wait until Lao Yuan rules the world.
, there would be no chance. The Beiyang government inherited the Manchu bureaucracy to a large extent. At that time, if a province wanted to reform, it would face strong pressure from the central government.
Therefore, after Qiao Yu took control of Sichuan, he quickly formulated the recruitment method for civil servants with reference to the Western civil service system and determined the principles for selecting officials through examinations. The scope of recruitment was also expanded a lot. Officials were no longer separated from officials as in the past feudal dynasties. Only officials were required
For those who passed the examination, all officials will be recruited through the examination method this time, breaking the previous situation where officials were superior.
At the same time, detailed treatment standards, as well as a reward and punishment system were formulated. After discussion in the parliament, the Sichuan Civil Servant Recruitment Act was finally formulated, which stipulated that the province-wide civil servant examination would be held on January 1, 1912. The original Manchu and Qing officials only had to pass
If there are no corruption or malfeasance issues under investigation, you can also take the exam. Students and other personnel with a certain cultural foundation can also take the exam. After passing the exam, you can officially become a civil servant after two months of training.
After the announcement of this bill, the shock to Sichuan was far beyond Qiao Yu's imagination. Although Qiao Yu had seen the Chinese people's dedication to civil servants in his previous life, it was still far worse than now. The concept of learning and excellence leads to officialdom.
Deep in the bones of the Chinese people, the Qing government originally abolished the imperial examination, and the appointment of officials relied more on recommendations. Many foreign students were immediately re-employed after returning, but more scholars who did not have the opportunity to go abroad became more embarrassed...
.
It was these people who became unemployed that separated them from the Manchus and eventually led to the demise of the Manchus. Qiao Yu announced a new civil servant recruitment bill. Although it is not as sacred as the previous imperial examinations, the threshold has been lowered too much.
, the number of students admitted has greatly increased, so all the scholars in Sichuan are eager to try, and the whole Sichuan seems to be celebrating the New Year.
While everyone was focusing on the civil service examination, Qiao Yu kept staring at the changes in the general trend of the world. Hanyang fell, but the Beiyang Army did not continue to attack Wuchang. It seems that Lao Yuan has already started to talk about it, and now
Nanjing was also captured, and a confrontation between the north and the south finally took shape.
"Minister Wang, I've thought about it a lot and want to send you to Nanjing, otherwise I won't worry about others!" Qiao Yuzheng discussed with Wang Dongcheng the issue of sending representatives to Nanjing. He considered it carefully and felt that this was a way to expand Sichuan's influence.
, it was a good opportunity to express political stance to both the North and the South at the same time, so it was necessary to send a person with outstanding ability and sufficient weight. In the end, Qiao Yu chose Wang Dongcheng.
After the First Uprising in Wuchang, Li Yuanhong became the governor and invited representatives from various provinces to Wuhan many times to discuss the establishment of a government. At first, after Chongqing became independent, Qiao Yu sent Xiaoxiang and Zhou Daiben to Wuchang, but the status of these two people was still slightly inferior.
He may not be able to withstand the pressure at critical moments, so Qiao Yu decided to send Wang Dongcheng out. First, he was extremely capable and eloquent, and he had a high status in the Qiao Yu Group. Even when facing Huang Dongcheng,
Xing, Sun Wen and others will not suffer from stage fright.
"The Governor has his orders, and Lao Wang should go there on his own, but does the Governor have any instructions? What attitude should we take?"
"Minister Wang is really astute. It would be enough to just follow Xiaoxiang and Zhou Daiben. The key is to make our voice heard in Sichuan. In this revolution, we are almost the same as Wuchang. It is even more difficult to establish a military government than they are."
Early, but because Sichuan was not unified, it was one step behind in fighting for political interests. Li Yuanhong of Wuchang was not strong enough. He should have established a coalition government in Wuchang, but people from Jiangsu and Zhejiang took the lead. Now Nanjing is also
Once defeated, representatives from all provinces will rush to Nanjing. However, Nanjing is the place where the revolutionary party is most concentrated. There is no guarantee that they will not use any means to force the representatives from each province. I am sending Mr. to ask you to hold me firmly at the critical moment.
, stick to the principle!”
Wang Dongcheng listened carefully to Qiao Yu's words, knowing in his heart that this was not an easy task, but if he could do it well, he would be able to show his face in front of politicians across the country, and the benefits would be considerable.
"Captain, don't worry, I can definitely resist it!"
"Minister Wang, this is not a child's play. Many people in the Democratic Party are gangsters. There will even be times when guns are pointed at their heads. But sir, you must remember that tens of millions of Sichuan soldiers and civilians are your backing. They will absolutely
I dare not do anything to you. Judging from the current situation, the power of the Manchu Qing Dynasty will soon fall into the hands of Yuan Shikai. No matter what issues the independent provinces discuss, they cannot avoid Lao Yuan. It is very likely that the world will eventually be the old one.
Yuan Lai is in charge, sir, if you say a few good words for Lao Yuan at the critical moment, we in Sichuan will benefit immensely!"
After the Nanjing Provisional Government was established, there were serious problems such as the capital issue, the state system issue, and the provisional legal issue. For example, Sun Wen used the presidential system when he was in power. When he saw that he could no longer be president, he changed it to Yuan Shikai.
The cabinet-prime minister system was replaced. Isn’t this a joke on the national system? The so-called legal system is just a tool for political struggle. In essence, the revolutionaries first despised the law. Later, Yuan Shikai played with the constitution and just copied it!
