After the failure of the Wuxu Reform, Tan Sitong was killed, his death was not only happy for the rulers of the Manchu Dynasty, but also for the people of the capital, who kept scolding the six gentlemen along the street, and smashed the prisoner car with rotten vegetable leaves, why Tan Sitong as a reformist aroused so much public indignation.
In China more than 100 years ago, the whole society was like a pool of stagnant water, the people were in a state of ignorance and chaos, Tan Sitong's ideas were regarded as outliers at the time, at the beginning of the Restoration, because his theory was too radical, so that he was also excluded within the Restoration, although Tan Sitong was considered to be a reformer, but in essence his thoughts have always been to reform the life of the Manchu Dynasty, but the time has not yet come, so he retreated to the second, hoping to use the Restoration to awaken China,
In Tan Sitong's book "Renxue", his revolutionary ideas are fully displayed, and he refers to the rulers of the Manchu Qing Dynasty as the Hu people, believing that the Qing Dynasty relied on violence to rule the Central Plains and slaughter the people. Control the mind, so that the Chinese people in all fields are stagnant, and think that fortunately the Manchurians do not want to forge ahead in modern times, if they are as strong as Britain and France, I am afraid that it will be a disaster for the world, at the same time he also very much agrees with the bullying of the Qing Dynasty by the European and American powers, and believes that this is an opportunity to awaken the awakening of the Chinese people, it is a civilization to beat ignorance, the Qing Dynasty is a world of one person, the rise and fall has nothing to do with the people, foreigners bully the Qing Dynasty, and the Qing Dynasty bullies their own people, all of which are the law of the jungle.
At the same time, he also tried his best to ridicule the soldiers of the Qing Dynasty, he believed that the treatment of the soldiers in the Qing Dynasty was very poor, but he wanted the soldiers to repay them with death, only fools would go to the soldiers to sell their lives, in addition, these soldiers were not paid enough, they were afraid of foreigners like tigers, but it was more than enough to kill their compatriots, so these Qing Dynasty soldiers were more than innocent.
In addition, he also despised the politics of the feudal dynasty, he said: China's politics for two thousand years, Qin Zheng, two thousand years of learning, Xun Xue, the essence of Qin Zheng, the emperor** The formation of a group of elites, do not produce, only rely on the exploitation of the people to maintain the rule, the essence of Xunxue is also the wish of the country, the people of insight and the squire choose the strong and vote, never know the etiquette, righteousness and shame, these people rely on touting the ruler for their own benefit, the two use each other, with the benefit of the world to themselves, to the harm of the world to the people, the people become the ruler's bag.
It is with these cognitions that Tan Sitong and Kang Liang finally parted ways, after the failure of the change, Tan Sitong could have easily escaped, when the Japanese embassy sent someone to pick him up, but Tan Sitong resolutely refused to go, he said: I was born in a rich and noble eunuch family, it was the people who gave me everything I needed, today I want to use my blood to wake up the people of the world, I died before I had the opportunity to recognize how the Manchu Qing Dynasty poisoned the living beings, after everything was arranged, he was in Liuyang Hall** , and left that desperate poem in prison, looking at the door to stop thinking about Zhang Jian, endure death and wait for Dugan, throw a European knife to the sky and smile, and leave the public crime for posterity.
Tinder Project It's just that what Tan Sitong didn't expect was that the reform at that time touched the interests of too many people, and his blood did not wake up the people.
