As the Spaniards used mustard gas on a large scale, Aguinaldo and Liu Hengzhen had to lead the Philippine rebels, like Bonifashow, to retreat into the mountainous jungles. In the process of recovering the liberated towns, Pollavixia created countless
The tragedy. Wang Jingzong, who appeared as a Fuzhou businessman, was naturally able to move around. He took countless photos with his small camera produced by General Electric, including mountains of corpses on the battlefield and revolutionaries who were hanged in towns.
Hundreds of photos of the grieving villagers who were driven out of their homes and then saw their houses set on fire by Spanish soldiers, as well as the helpless eyes of the Filipinos in the concentration camps, will show Europeans a cruel and cruel scene.
Another bloody war.
These are real Filipino patriots. In contrast to their miserable situation, the real thugs are taking the opportunity to seize the city, constantly attacking Spaniards and innocent people, and causing horrific tragedies one after another in northern Manila.
Why is this? Why did the Spaniards insist on holding on to Aguinaldo instead of destroying the real thugs?
The answer to this question was given by a newspaper in Singapore before the petition team sent by Aguinaldo set off. It is very simple, because Aguinaldo and his overseas Chinese allies are the real patriots and represent the Philippines.
The Spanish are afraid of the righteous power of the people, so they would rather abandon Bonifashow to destroy them first.
This conclusion was quickly endorsed by newspapers in Germany and Russia, and they began to publicize the glorious deeds of these two people in Europe, including the fact that they had loved to study since they were young. They were both good students. When they grew up, they helped people in need and helped old ladies.
Crossing the road or something like that. Especially since Liu Hengzhu, as a Chinese, still did not hesitate to spend all his money to support the freedom cause of the Filipino people, and even took the lead in participating in the battle. When Aguinaldo was a local official, he loved the people like his own son, but when did he do anything for the rights of the common people?
After fighting to the death against the Spanish colonists, they finally became unbearable and finally rose up. The two men were soon enveloped in a dazzling halo.
In this atmosphere of hype, a petition group consisting of one hundred Filipino patriots boarded a merchant ship bound for Europe. It was said that the ship owner was so moved by their just cause that he not only refused to charge them any fees, but
Moreover, he stopped picking up any passengers and sent him to Rome as quickly as possible to avoid long delays on the road and the killing of more innocent people.
This inexplicable change in the situation made the Spanish feel incredible. However, the cunning Prime Minister Canovas still smelled the smell of conspiracy. With the rapid development of the automobile industry, there are many people who are concerned about Philippine rubber, especially the Germans.
Now Germany's automobile production has reached hundreds of thousands per year, but in the hands of German businessmen, there is no rubber production area. They can only contribute a large amount of money to the four countries of Britain, the Netherlands, France and Spain every year. William is definitely not willing to do this.
of.
Not to mention the Russians, the Czar's desire for land will never end. It is a real joke to say that these two evil wolves will not attack Spain because everyone is European.
Of course, he would never have thought that the chief director of all this was Prince Yang, who was enjoying making movies in Paris. In fact, Prince Yang was very high-profile during this period. He not only publicly selected actors for his movie The Count of Monte Cristo, but also
A projector was set up in front of the Louvre and a ten-minute trailer was publicly shown. This was a real movie, and it was also a talkie. Especially the Greek beauty who played Heidi fascinated countless people.
The whole of Paris, the whole of France, and even the whole of Europe were stunned by the miraculous big screen. Countless guests flocked to Paris from all over the country with a pilgrimage mood, just to take a look at the talking and moving person in front of them.
The Count of Monte Cristo.
"You know? This is called publicity. The movie must be coordinated with publicity to earn back our investment. Do you know how many people are waiting for us to make the movie? I'm afraid it's more than a few million.
, even if we charge one franc per ticket, we can still sell several million francs. After deducting our shooting costs and the share we give to those theaters, we can still earn at least one million francs. And not only that, this movie
It won't just be shown for a week or a month, it can even be shown for years or even more than ten years. We can make money continuously. This is the true meaning of the movie." Prince Yang hugged the heroine and said to
The Lumiere brothers chatted.
The two brothers, the fathers of world cinema, have an open-minded look on their faces.
"Your Highness, there is a telegram from China. Your Majesty the Emperor has announced reforms and will fully implement the New Deal." At this time, Catherine walked into the studio and handed him a telegram and said.
"New Deal? Ah, His Majesty the Emperor has finally made this wise decision." Prince Yang said proudly as he read the telegram.
August, who didn't know the details, thought that this guy was really happy for the transformation of his emperor. He was busy saying with a smile: "Your Highness, congratulations, I think it won't be long before we can see a civilized and prosperous China."
Already."
"Of course, of course, but in this case I seem to have to go back. Well, you will complete the subsequent shooting work yourself. What I have told you these days is almost the same. After the shooting is completed, I will take the film to China
Go, I will take the time to teach you how to complete the editing. It is estimated that we can officially launch this film on the market in another year." Prince Yang said with satisfaction.
The Lumière brothers quickly agreed. Reform and other matters were important matters, and naturally they could not waste His Highness the Prince's precious time. His Majesty the Emperor and hundreds of millions of people were still waiting for him.
They didn't know that the current emperor was afraid that the prince would go back. Guangxu could be said to have sunk the boat this time. Anyway, his empire had reached this point, so he simply broke the pot. The contents of this new deal were not the same as those in the original history.
There is not much difference, but what is different from the original history is that most of the New Deal this time remains on paper, because many of them require funds to start, and Guangxu can now maintain the salary of officials and the town of Zai Zhen.
Soldiers' military pay is already very good, so how can they have money for anything else?
Not to mention those things like opening up mines and setting up industry, expanding the army and buying weapons, even a capital university couldn't raise the money. Even the Imperial College was almost flattened by artillery shells during the last battle in Beijing, so it had to be empty.
The remaining Prince Zhuang's Mansion was cleaned up, and then a sign was hung up as the Capital University Hall. Kang Shengren personally served as the principal, and the specific work was taken care of by Yuan Hanlin, Cai Yuanpei, who had followed him to the emperor.
According to Guangxu's vision, he could restore the people's support by implementing the New Deal. Kang Youwei also deceived him in this way. In Kang Shengren's view, the world was in such trouble. To put it bluntly, it was because Yang Feng occupied a new character. The common people had had enough hardships, so
If he is poor in talent, he will think about change and put all his thoughts on Yang Feng, who is considered a powerful figure among foreigners. As long as Guangxu also innovates, he will definitely regain the support of the people. Only by regaining the support of the people can Xu make progress, enrich the country and strengthen the army step by step.
Clean up those rebellious officials and traitors.
Guangxu was also convinced of this, but as soon as the New Deal was promulgated, he found that he was wrong. What awaited him was not cheers from the people but scoldings.
The abolition of the imperial examination made all the green insects in the world completely dumbfounded. After they came to their senses, they immediately cursed the emperor and ministers of Guangxu as if they were mourning their heirs. In some serious places, they even burned Guangxu's memorial tablets in public. Destroying people's wealth is like killing their parents. We will read for the rest of our lives.
After reading the eight-part essay, my wife and children are crying for food and refuse to do anything else. Why? Isn’t it just to be an official in the imperial examination and issue signatures to slap the common people? If you say a word, there is nothing. What else can we do except open our mouths, and the last hope is shattered?
, aren’t you forcing us to a dead end?
When Green Camp is abolished, the local admirals, generals, and soldiers all the way down to the commander-in-chief will no longer have a place to earn free wages. It’s so pitiful that they all rely on empty wages to support their families. With your withdrawal, our family will
How do the wives live? Even if you are the emperor, you can't cut off our wealth with just one sentence, can you? What will we do if we switch to Western military training? We can hardly even learn what our ancestors left behind. You let us
To change to the Western world, just drive us away.
Redundant officials were abolished, and all the people who had to work hard in the yamen were kicked out. Not to mention this, if Chongzhen had not abolished the postmen, he would not have hanged himself on a tree! If so-and-so had been paid a salary, he would not have lived on a desert island.
Woolen cloth!
It should be said that their new policy measures are quite good. In theory, the common people should really support them. However, they overestimate the level of information of the common people at this time. Ordinary people will definitely not know the content of their new policies. Of course, even if they know it,
Because of their political enthusiasm, they would not consider what these things were. As for those who knew the contents of the New Deal, they were basically offended by these New Deals. From officials to caterpillars to the military, they were systematically offended.
Moreover, Guangxu also had a bombshell in his history that was not made public before, but was made public this time.
When Manchu officials from all over the country saw this article, they completely despaired of the emperor. What did it mean? They completely denied the legitimacy of the Qing army's entry into the country, which meant that the emperor had openly turned into a traitor to the Manchus.
, and this point was specially raised by Kang Youwei to Guangxu. According to him, this would win the support of Han people all over the world, but in fact those Han people scolded him for forgetting his ancestors. This made Kang Youwei baffled.
Since the emperor was already a traitor to the Manchus, those Manchu officials who were already deeply disappointed in him naturally had no need to listen to him anymore. Songfan, the governor of Yunnan and Guizhou, and Furun, the governor of Anhui, wrote letters one after another to refuse the imperial edict.
