After seeing Kang Youwei's memorial, the knowledgeable Emperor Guangxu marveled at "having such knowledge. If China can really become stronger, what if I have no right? ". The emperor summoned Liang Qichao, Tan Sitong and others, opened an unprecedented dialogue with civilians, and appointed Yang Rui, Liu Guangdi, Tan Sitong and Xu Lin as military planes to Zhang Jing, refusing to reform and striving for strength. If we want to reform, we have to get rid of the stumbling block of Empress Dowager Cixi and her confidant, Lord Rongping.
Who can finish this task? Tan Sitong thinks: "Yes, only Yuan Shikai deserves to be close to them. His thoughts are relatively new, and he has trained a new army under Rong Ping and Li Hongzhang. Tan Sitong once persuaded Yuan Shikai to send troops to besiege the Summer Palace where Empress Dowager Cixi lived. If you succeed, you lose, and now you can only be a dead horse. The day after Yuan Shikai got the imperial edict, he told Empress Dowager Cixi what he really wanted. The emperor was imprisoned in Yingtai, an island in the middle of the lake in the palace forever. In addition to Liang Qichao, who was protected by the British legation, and Kang Youwei, who escaped by luck, six people including Kang and Yang Rui were beheaded in the Beijing food market.
Originally, Tan Sitong could not die, but the immortal would rather die. Why? Besides, Tan Sitong is the master of Tan Jixun, the governor of Hubei Province, and Chen Baozhen, the governor of Hunan Province, is also an enlightened person who supports political reform. With the support of this person, Tan Sitong founded Southern Society and Hunan Daily, and made friends with Wang Wu, a famous gangster in the Jianghu at that time. You don't have to die to enter the Japanese embassy to meet Mr. Ito. From the sixth day to the tenth day of the coup, I found that there were many opportunities to escape in these four days, but he didn't. Why did he make unnecessary sacrifices? I think there are both "things" and "jun". Tan Sitong is a monarch because China has had more than 600 emperors for thousands of years, and Guangxu is the only one who is willing to fully modernize China, take risks for the whole world and finally sacrifice himself. This is the true Buddhist love, dispensable. The "thing" is because of political reforms in various countries. Today, China has never heard of anyone bleeding because of political reform. He died with dignity. Originally, his heart was more revolutionary, but I don't know which is better, China's road of improvement or the road of revolution. Kang Youwei dragged him to constitutionalism. Practice has proved that this road is impassable, only revolution. His willingness to lie down and die proves how rampant this corrupt regime is. For a terminally ill regime, talking about improvement is tantamount to begging for meat. Only a dead end can make more China people move forward with Tan Sitong's blood in the future. Tan Sitong drank tea leisurely in Liuyang Hall, while Daimon Masaru opened the tea and sat quietly.
On the 10th day of August, 1898, the yamen officials who rushed into the armed forces finally arrived, signed the guarantee, checked their identities and were taken to the head cell of the Southern Prison of the Ministry of Punishment. On the wall of his cell, he wrote a famous poem: "I am desperate to stop thinking about James Zhang, and I will endure to die for Dugan.". I am smiling at the sky, and I am going to live in the two Kunlun Mountains. "
1August, 898 13 was the day when he was sent to the execution ground, but he looked calm. When the executioner was about to execute, he smiled and suddenly flashed across the sky like a floating cloud, shouting, "If you want to kill a thief, you can't return to heaven and die a fair death. Come on! Come on! "
