Red Alert 1895

Chapter 728: The Traitor (Part 1)

After receiving Zhou Chen's report, Wang Guorui came to the Imperial Academy in the Qing Dynasty. But at present, the Hanlin Academy is also a cold yamen, because Wang Guorui doesn't pay much attention to the Imperial Academy, so it was renamed the Academy of Social Sciences. In the future, the Academy of Social Sciences will belong to a so-called public institution, not a government department. It is also almost impossible for the researchers of the Academy of Social Sciences to be transferred to become officials, and almost all of them will do research full-time in the future. Unlike the Hanlin Academy in the Qing Dynasty, which was a talent reserve base, this is an out-and-out Qingshui yamen, with little power, and only those who really like research will work here. As for those Hanlins in the Manchu Qing period, those who are older can also be retained at their discretion, because they all have work experience anyway. After all, those who spent most of their lives in the Imperial Academy during the Qing Dynasty showed that they were not good at being officials, so they can stay and use their spare energy to do research, which can be regarded as waste utilization. Those young people were all dismissed as well, where should they go.

"I've seen His Majesty!" The person from the Academy of Social Sciences knelt down and said immediately.

"Okay, there's no need to bow too much, we don't need to kneel here, and kneeling will be abolished in the future, so you don't need to kneel!" Wang Guorui said.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" said the old researchers of the Academy of Social Sciences.

"Your Majesty is here today, what's the matter?" Someone asked immediately.

Wang Guorui immediately said: "I will officially hold the enthronement ceremony in more than ten days, and at that time it represents China's official recovery of the world. At this time, some records of the Qing Dynasty need to be compiled. And this "Qing Dynasty Accounting Records will be edited according to the methods of some history books, so I hope to record it officially.”

Since Wang Guorui did not choose to inherit the legal system of the Manchu Qing, or even recognize the Manchu Qing as the legal government of China, it is naturally impossible to recognize him as an official dynasty of China. However, although Wang Guorui does not recognize the Manchu Qing as an official Chinese super-champion. However, the Manchu Qing ruled China for more than two hundred years, and this period of time must not be ignored. The time of more than two hundred years cannot be ignored casually, so the necessary historical compilation is also necessary. But since Wang Guorui does not recognize that the Manchu Qing Dynasty is a Chinese dynasty. Naturally, "History of the Qing Dynasty" cannot be used as the name, so this de facto "History of the Qing Dynasty" is called "Records of Qing Zhanshi". This "Records of Qing Occupation" means the time when the Manchu Qing occupied the Central Plains. A memoir of what happened, not an official history book.

Of course, everyone is aware of the problems in this, and this "Qing Zhan Shilu" is actually the actual history of the Qing Dynasty. In China, the compilation of history is generally done at intervals. This is already an unspoken rule. A summary of merits and demerits. It can be regarded as the conclusion of the old dynasty. Although Wang Guorui does not recognize that the Manchu Qing Dynasty is a Chinese dynasty, it is impossible to ignore the two hundred years of Manchu Qing rule. Shilu is compiling the history of the Manchu Dynasty, representing a concentrated record of the history of the Manchu dynasty in the past.

"Your Majesty, don't you need a prime minister to be in charge of this matter?" Someone asked immediately.

Since ancient times, writing history has also been a very noble position, and it is generally the responsibility of the prime minister. Of course, the prime minister is often named, but in fact someone else is in charge. But the prime minister is in name. That also represents the dynasty's emphasis on history compilation, so these people will ask if they want the prime minister to be named.

"Remember, here we are. Administration is administration, and research is research. Don't treat administration as research, and don't treat research as administration. Do you understand? Compiling history is compiling history, don't involve any politics. Don't be influenced by politics. Involved, that is the real thing that can create a history of conscience, instead of being modified too much. Only when it is not interfered by politics, can it be possible to compile a fair evaluation of the merits and demerits of each historical figure.” Wang Guorui said.

Those researchers thought brokenly in their hearts: "That's so strange!"

What Wang Guorui said was righteous. But in fact, these words are completely bullshit. Wang Guorui directly denied that the Manchu Dynasty was an official dynasty. Isn't that just interfering with the compilation of history? However, they had been in the officialdom of the Qing Dynasty for many years, so naturally they would not question Wang Guorui directly in such a brainstorming manner.

"Next. I think that in the normal compilation of historical books, in addition to the normal Emperor's Benji, Zhidi, Biaodi, and Biographies, another biography of traitors can be added. This biographies of traitors is specifically to record those who lived during the Qing occupation period. The biographies of the Han officials who served in the Qing Dynasty. The biographies of the Qing occupation period were specially made for those Manchus. And all the famous Han officials who served the Manchu Qing should also be compiled into the biography of the traitors. And the biographies of the traitors It can also be subdivided. The first part is the culprits who helped the Manchus invade. You can copy a copy of the first chapter in the biography of the second official in the Qianlong period of the Manchus. Those are the culprits who helped the Manchus invade China. The culprit. And the second part of the biography of traitors, that is, the list and deeds of the second part of the biography of the second official, just copy it once."

"As for the third part, that is the Han people who worked for the Manchu Qing in addition to that, and did not repent in time and chose to go the same way as the Manchu Qing."

Those researchers who were in charge of compiling the "Records of the Qing Dynasty" were also taken aback. Wang Guorui was so ruthless that he directly compiled all the people who worked for the Qing Dynasty into the "Biography of the Traitors" , this is really cruel enough. Over the past two hundred years of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, although it has been declining day by day, it is not that there are no good people. In fact, during the years of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, there were always a few good people, right? But Wang Guorui is really ruthless here, no matter the good or the bad, he directly writes it into the biography of traitors across the board.

Of course, although Wang Guorui didn't ask to slander those people, he still wrote it according to the actual deeds. Wang Guorui will not ask them to deliberately slander those "traitors". Those "good people" in the Qing Dynasty can also be completely recorded according to history, and their deeds will not be embellished. But the problem is that they were all uniformly compiled into "The Legend of the Han Dynasty". Under such a one-size-fits-all situation, what would future generations think if they were directly compiled into the "Biography of the Han Dynasty"? At that time, future generations may not consider whether you are a good person or a bad person. I am afraid that everyone's first impression is that you serve for the Manchu Qing, and that is a "traitor". They don't care if you have done anything to defraud the people or not, they just care that you were included in "The Legend of the Han Xian" on the date of compilation, then this is really yellow mud falling into the crotch-it is not **** or shit.

When the time comes, how will future generations see it? I'm afraid the first impression is that they are all traitors, and then others will not take his deeds seriously.

"Of course, there is another part, which is the biographies of the enlightened ones. The biographies of the awakened ones are those who were able to become officials under the rule of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, but they were able to repent in time, and they were able to recognize them in time. In the Manchu Qing Dynasty, he was an aggressor, and he was able to fight back in time, and he was able to stand on the side of resisting the aggressors in time. He was able to make due contributions to the counterattack against the aggressors, and he was extremely loyal to the cause of fighting the aggressors, and he was not half-hearted. You can write the biographies of the awakened ones, and the biographies of the awakened ones can include those who wake up in time. The so-called people are not sages and sages can do nothing, maybe some people are confused for a while and do wrong things, as long as they can wake up in time and correct them. It’s fine. It’s not terrible to do something wrong, and it’s fine to correct it, so it’s still worthy of forgiveness.”

But immediately someone asked nervously: "What about you, Your Majesty? You also..."

That person didn't dare to say anything, because he obviously also remembered that Wang Guorui had also been an official in the Manchu Qing Dynasty, became the magistrate of Hsinchu County, and later became the governor of Taiwan. Is it recorded that Wang Guorui is also a traitor? This is definitely courting death! However, it is not very good to record it in the biographies of the awakened ones. After all, since ancient times, the emperor has been wished to be "Gaoquan" and "Great Guangzheng". How can it be recorded that he has made mistakes? This biographies of enlightened people is specially for those who once served under Man Qing and then awakened in time. But doesn't this mean that the emperor Wang Guorui also made mistakes?

"Record it according to the actual situation. There is nothing wrong with recording me in the biographies of the awakened ones. People are not sages and sages, and there is nothing wrong with it. If there is something, please correct it! I am only a person, and I will make mistakes. I will make mistakes in time. It’s not impossible to take the initiative to lead everyone to expel the Tartars! In the future, you don’t need to act like a saint. The emperor is also a human being. There are also times when mistakes are made, and there are times when stances are not firm. As long as you can wake up in time, that’s okay. Yes." Wang Guorui explained.

Wang Guorui agrees with those people who recorded themselves in the biography of the enlightened person, which is a relatively fair record, and can also add so-called credibility to the "Records of Qing Zhan"~lightnovelpub.net~ even The founding emperors of the new dynasty have also been recorded in the biography of the awakened ones, so what is so unbelievable? What's more, this is not as unbelievable as in the past when the founding emperor was made to look like Gao Dawei Guangzheng. In the future era, the common people will not be easy to be fooled. If you record such greatness and integrity, you can only lie to yourself in the end. Instead of those various folk historians and writers of online novels digging out your every move, and then comparing them with that tall and powerful history book, then you are really inside and out, right? people. Therefore, instead of recording as a "perfect person", it is better to record as a person who has made mistakes but corrects them in time. This will make future generations respect you more and not look down on you because of your mistakes. If you mold yourself into a perfect person, then in the end, everything will be reversed. The higher you praise, the harder you will fall.

Wang Guorui deeply knows that a founding leader of later generations was always praised as a perfect man at the beginning, as if he was always right and would never make mistakes. However, it is precisely because things must be reversed at extremes that the later people's evaluation of him is very embarrassing. In fact, if it hadn't been held so high back then, maybe it wouldn't have fallen so hard. So Wang Guorui learned a lesson, don't exalt yourself too high, and maybe in the end, he will fall even harder in the future. Instead of establishing a "perfect person", it is better to establish a "ordinary person" with some shortcomings, so that everyone will understand you better and will not look down on you.

"Now, it should be the turn of those Han Chinese officials in the Qing Dynasty to be anxious?" Wang Guorui thought to himself. (To be continued.)
