1. Tan Sitong and the Reform Movement of 1898

This has to be mentioned that the reform ultimately benefited Kang Youwei. Kang Youwei Scholar took the exam three times and finally got ashore. Then he was persistent in taking the exam for juren for 20 years, and failed all 6 exams and had to choose another way out. This spirit of perseverance to the end and not looking back when hitting the wall is reflected in all aspects of his life.

elderly Kang Youwei

Tan Sitong Xiaokang Youwei 8 years old, and his journey to the imperial examination was also bumpy. He had no intention of eight-legged essays and failed many times. He made friends with many righteous men in the world at his residence Liuyang Guild Hall , practicing martial arts and boxing, and not being a literati or a knight. With the identity of the second generation of officials, his father arranged for an official to be an official of " Military Machine Chapter Jing ".

Tan Sitong is about Kang Youwei both teachers, friends and neighbors , Liuyang Guild Hall and Kang Youwei residence Nanhai Guild Hall are only one road apart. He did not worship Kang Youwei as his teacher, but he was a student of Kang. Kang Youwei was good at writing articles and using news media to create momentum. The young people including Tan Sitong recognized and admired Kang from the bottom of their hearts and never said no to Teacher Kang's arrangements, even if they were deceived by Kang.

Tan Sitong visited various provinces in his early 20s and met the underworld leader Bi Yongnian , Bi Yongnian supports reform and reform, and recognizes his friends with Tan Sitong. When Tan Sitong follows the wishes of Kang Youwei, invites him to bring his underworld brothers to Beijing to protect Kang Youwei, he agreed immediately. After arriving in Beijing, Bi Yongnian lives in the Nanhai Guild Hall, is convenient for protecting Kang Youwei.

Two-story gray tiled building is the Nanhai Guizhou Hall. Due to maintenance, it is impossible to approach

. Soon, Kang Youwei informed Tan and Bi of the plan to prepare surround Summer Palace kill Cixi . He came to find someone to mobilize troops. He only needed Bi Yongnian brothers completed the last step " surround the garden and killed ". This plan to kill the nine clans scared the two, and made people wait for the purpose of coming to Beijing all the way! Kang Youwei and Tan Sitong are naive here. Can they succeed if they kill Cixi? He is a scholar, where can he go to dispatch troops? Besides, saving the emperor, the emperor himself didn't know this plan. Later, it turned out that Kang Youwei didn't care whether was successful or not. He just wanted to make his name and let the senior management pay attention to his , and then what? He arranged for Tan Sitong to find the , which was stationed near the capital at that time, Yuan Shikai , and was stationed in the capital.

National Expo filmed by Yuan Shikai ascended the throne.

Why is Kang Youwei so confident? Kang Youwei has a letter from Yuan Shikai once wrote to him: "I need me in the future, and I will go through fire and water." When Yuan Shikai ran to office, Kang Youwei helped him.

Yuan Shikai

Yuan Shi's thank you letter said in the scene, Kang Youwei pretended to believe it, Bi Yongnian didn't believe it, Bi Yongnian wanted to meet Yuan Shikai to confirm whether this person was reliable.

Kang Youwei was unhappy: "Don't you believe me?"

Bi Yongnian knew Kang Youwei's ability to be honest and was too lazy to explain: "I can't tell you."

Bi Yongnian turned to Tan Sitong to discuss: "This plan is too risky!"

Tan Sitong: "I also know that the risk is high, but Teacher Kang must implement it, and I can't do anything about it."

Tan Sitong personally went to Fahua Temple to visit Yuan Shikai to support the plan of " Kill the Empress Dowager to save the emperor " for Teacher Kang's plan.

Yuan Shikai's fried dough sticks, and he realized that he was dragged into the water. The emperor and the empress dowager, no one could afford to offend these two. Tan Sitong in front of him, the fourth-rank official of the court, and the celebrity in front of the emperor, came with a sword tonight, and the whole body was the same: You have to do it, and you have to do it if you don't! Yuan Shikai finally took Tan Si on the excuse of having a better opportunity to act. The story behind this Buddha was sent out.

The story behind this is from Yuan Shikai's diary "Diary of the Wuxu". Yuan may have excused himself, but the matter of Tan Sitong looking for him has been verified by many sources, which is very credible. .

Bi Yongnian's The diary also confirmed this incident:

Tan Sitong told Bi Yongnian about the meeting with Yuan Shikai. Bi Yongnian was shocked and determined that the plan had completely failed.

"You must have the disaster of extermination. I don't want to go to this with you. I will move out of the Nanhai Guild Hall immediately. Brother Tan should also think of a way out, and you can't save your life for them! "

Bi Yongnian, the big brother in the world, was a bit foresighted. He moved out of the Nanhai Guild Hall, and this action allowed him to escape. After Bi Yongnian fled to Japan, he realized that he came over , himself, Tan Sitong, and the emperor were all chess pieces of Kang Youwei, and the stepping stone to help him achieve great things. Therefore, he looked down on Kang Youwei very much and persuaded his friends to break up with Kang many times. Bi Yongnian joined the Xingzhonghui in Japan, followed Sun Yat-sen, and later became a monk and traveled around the world. Four years after Tan Sitong was executed, he died of illness at the age of 33.

Bi Yongnian

We now look at it from the perspective of God: scholars borrow soldiers, violently seize power, capture thieves and kings, have they heard too much about Kang Youwei's story? Not , Kang Youwei's real purpose is to take over Yuan Shikai's army when Yuan Shikai brought his troops to him, take over Yuan's army, and take over the military power in his own hands. At that time, who dares not listen to him Kang Youwei!

After Yuan Shikai reported to Cixi for the future, Cixi started a massacre. Kang Youwei smelled something wrong and ran away early. The six gentlemen of the Reform of 1898 had the opportunity to run away, but they did not, including Kang Youwei's younger brother Kang Guangren , Tan Sitong once said: "The reforms of all countries are bleeding, and the blood of China's reforms, please start with Tan Sitong. "

On September 24, 1898, Tan Sitong was arrested at the Liuyang Guild Hall and was bravely executed in Caishikou at the age of 33.

The last stroke in prison: I smiled at the sky , leaving the two Kunluns.

Wuxu Six Gentlemen

" Wuxu Six Gentlemen " is really unjust!

Kang Youwei's private life was corrupt and his life was luxurious. In his later years, he was opposed to Sun Wen , and was betrayed by all relatives and was abandoned by all forces. Even the most loyal supporter Liang Qichao broke up with him.

Educator in the late Qing Dynasty Yan Fu This comments Kang Youwei: The top is to let his king down, the lower is to get tired of his friends, the scholars ruined the country, and the quack doctor killed people!

2. Tan Sitong and his wife

Tan Sitong and his wife Li Run, the same age as him, the two are in a good match. They got married at the age of 18 and have a close relationship. Tan Sitong opposed taking concubines and was strict with themselves. The couple had a deep relationship. On the 15th anniversary of their marriage, Tan Sitong praised her: "Having been a classmate for fifteen years, she has been raising her parents and caring for her nephew Lai Junxian. "

After Tan Sitong was executed, Li Run wrote a poem about reminiscing: "The past cannot be pursued, and one becomes a layer of lovesickness. In the next life, I will become a lotus picker and meet you. The water in Hengtang is here. ” Li Run founded the first girls' school in Liuyang in 1912, and was a strange woman from the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China.

The last letter Tan Sitong wrote to his wife at the Liuyang Guild Hall before his arrest. The full text is as follows:

took photos on the National Boston

If you see, the lady:

sent several letters in Elian. He then set off on June 16th and arrived in Beijing on the fifth day of this month. The matter was so busy that it was difficult to describe.

The court resolutely reformed the law and had great potential for state affairs. I became more and more excited and did not want to relax. Fortunately, I am still in good health and have a strong spirit, so I can rest assured. After that, it is too busy and it is difficult to write letters from home often, so please do not worry about it.

Send "Journal of Women" and a pack of books in the Women's School. If you want to read "Journal of Women", you can open a place to sell the newspaper. Please ask someone to buy it. If Tang cannot, you can just ask your elder brother to try to buy it in Shanghai, or you can ask your brother Qin Sheng to write a letter to you. I can introduce it to you. Here, it is Song Kun'an.

Resurrection hand grass On July 11, I stayed at Liuyang Guild Hall and

. The "Journal of Women" mentioned in the letter is introduced as follows:

Journal of Women

Journal of Women ---In July 1898, at the climax of the reform of 1898, the "Journal of Women" was founded. The newspaper editors are Kang Youwei's daughter Kang Tongwei , and Liang Qichao's wife Li Huixian . It set a precedent for Chinese women's newspapers and magazines. The contents are mostly published to promote reform and reform; vigorously promote female students; fight for feminist rights; demand equality between men and women; advocate marriage autonomy; demand women to participate in politics; oppose feminism; oppose feminism; oppose old customs and bad habits.

Liang Qichao also promoted new ideas in the Current Affairs Newspaper, and was filmed on Guobo

As Tan Sitong's wife, Li Run is also a new-style woman who pursues progress in thought.

3. limitations of Tan Sitong's reform proposal

focuses on the controversy about Tan Sitong, mainly because he advocates selling remote provinces in exchange for reform funds, such as: selling Xinjiang to Russia and Tibet to Britain, hoping that these two countries can protect the Qing government. If selling these two places is not enough, you can sell more points. These are all recorded, and primary school students find this claim incredible.

"Tan Sitong's Collection of Essays" records: "Try to raise the current situation, and there is no need to discuss the land that has been cut. We should sell Xinjiang to Russia, Tibet to , English to Geely , to pay off 20 million yuan of debts. With the size of tens of thousands of miles in the two realms, my strength will never be able to defend it. I will only be a burden to me. If I sell it, it will not only be worth 20 million yuan, but I can still use more values ​​as a reform. also asks Britain and Russia to protect China for ten years. "

""

""""

"""""""""""""""""""""""" If not, then the lands on the margins of Manchuria and Mongolia can also be sold at . The value of the land sold is nearly 100 million. The land in Xinjiang province is no less than 200 million square miles, and even at a low price, each of which should be sold at 500 million silver. Xinjiang deserves 100 million silver. And those who are willing to get less are the resources for protection for ten years. "

These lands are sold for money and land for development are all limitations and contradictions of the reformist . When Kang Youwei fled to Japan, he actually hoped that the Japanese government would surpass the Qing government and take over everything in China in full. . . Outrageous.

The failure of the Hundred Days’ Reform is inevitable. It emphasizes theory over practice, talks on paper, and is naive and naive. However, the spirit of the six warriors who died bravely and treated death as if they were homeless is worthy of their reputation in history and worthy of our praise.
