Chapter 397 The Republic is good, Jun Xian is wonderful, the angel falls in love with Mary (please vote, please order)
"Let's talk about it. What should we do now? Changmao has changed his mind. This is obviously trying to get Dr. Rash to join the gang. How should we, the Qing Dynasty, respond?"
Xianfeng was really anxious now. Although he was not a wise king, he still knew what his Qing Dynasty relied on to resist the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom! The Qing Dynasty did not rely on the force of the Eight Banners, let alone those who only ran away from thieves.
Green camp soldiers. We really have to rely on those people. It’s freezing cold early in the morning!
The reason why the Qing Dynasty has been able to maintain its current status and has been able to fight against collapse despite repeated defeats is due to the support of the Han scholar-bureaucrats. The reason why the Han scholar-bureaucrats support the Qing Dynasty is for two reasons:
One is the God of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom and the God of the Han literati. He is not the same God.
In other words, the Taiping Rebellion War actually had the nature of a religious war!
Second, the land policy currently implemented by the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom has harmed the interests of scholar-bureaucrats.
However, the land policy does not have to be consistent across the country. This is an issue that can be discussed. According to the report in the "Compilation of Thieves" submitted by Zeng Guofan, Luo Bingzhang, Zhang Liangji, Zuo Zongtang and others, the land policy of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom was a "wide and tight band"
, some places are wide, some places are tight, and some places may not even be implemented.
For example, when the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom first started dividing land in southern Hunan in the early years, the policy was very strict. After they conquered Jiangnan and Jiangbei, and their base expanded, the land policy began to relax, allowing landlords to retain more land.
No more free money will be shared.
According to the news sent to Prince Gong from the foreign embassy, ​​Luo Yaoguo, King of Wu of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, had published an edict in various newspapers in Shanghai, announcing that there would be no land allocation in the area under the jurisdiction of the former Shanghai Governor's Mansion!
Obviously, this matter is negotiable!
But now, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom has replaced the foreign god with the earth god. It also pretends to wholeheartedly welcome heroes from all over the world to discuss the affairs of the country. It also sends the heroes' invitations to Yan Shenggong's Mansion. This is clearly to compete with the Qing Dynasty.
It’s on the Han Chinese doctor’s plate.
Everyone knows that the bones of Han Chinese officials are relatively soft. They were slaughtered again and again by the Mongols and Manchus, and finally they knelt down and licked them. Although the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom also slaughtered a lot in the past two years, it was not the same as the Mongols back then.
, compared to the Manchurians, what are they?
Nowadays, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom has relaxed a little more on the issue of land allocation, giving preferential treatment of "regardless of the land" to the forces who take the initiative to seek refuge, and then change the earth god to worship. The scholar-bureaucrats in that day dare not say that they will all go to the past, and vote half or three-thirds.
Once it is over, the Qing Dynasty will also be over!
The Qing Dynasty is getting closer and closer to its end. Can Xianfeng not be in a hurry?
But the princes and ministers below didn't say a word. They all lay on the ground, sticking their butts out, and didn't even raise their heads.
The air pressure in the Qinzheng Qinxian Hall was getting lower and lower, and Emperor Xianfeng's face became more and more ugly. I don't know how long it took before I heard Prince Gong Yixin say: "Your Majesty, I heard this from foreigners.
I don’t know if I should talk about a way to fight against the Republic.”
"Speak!" Xianfeng said loudly, "Lao Liu, you said that foreigners have ways to fight against the republic. So are there people there who are also fighting for the republic?"
"Of course!" Prince Gong exclaimed, "The three major foreign countries, England, France and the United States, have all established republics. But at present, the only country that still maintains the banner of republic is the United States."
Prince Gong paused and asked Xianfeng: "Your Majesty, do you know what a republic is?"
Xianfeng was stunned: "Isn't it true that you have no father and no king?"
Prince Gong said: "The former governor of Fujian, Xu Jishe, who was in charge of the regiment training, introduced the American republic in his just-published "Yinghuan Zhilue". I read this book not long ago, and I still remember what it said about the United States. The father of the Republic, Washington, was the leader of the General: Washington was a stranger. He had the courage to conquer Guangzhou in his rebellion, and he was more powerful than Cao Liu in separatist rule. He had already raised the three-foot sword and opened up thousands of miles of territory. He did not usurp his title or pass it on to his descendants, but created it. The method of recommendation is almost universal in the world."
Having said this, Prince Gong Yixin took out a copy of "Yinghuan Zhilue" still smelling of ink and held it up high: "Your Majesty, this is "Yinghuan Zhilue" written by Xu Jishe. Please take a look at it."
"Rebellion! Rebel" Emperor Xianfeng took "Yinghuan Zhilue" from Ande Hai and flipped through it, and soon found the content dictated by Prince Gong - Prince Gong had already folded the corners, and it was easy to He could find it. After looking at it for a while, he was already angry and scared.
Why does this republic still have nothing to do with the world?
Moreover, Xu Jishe was an important minister of the Qing Dynasty who had served as governor! He was one of the leaders of the Shanxi scholar-bureaucrats. He even wrote books in favor of the Republic.
Isn't the Qing Dynasty in danger?
At this moment, Prince Gong finally said how to fight against the Republic: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, the foreigners have long had a way to fight against the Republic, it's called Junxian! Among the three big foreign countries that my servant just mentioned, there are two The republic has been overthrown by monarchs and constitutions, and only the republic of the United States still exists. The reason why the republic of the United States exists is because the country was originally an overseas colony of England and had no emperor. As stated in "Yinghuan Zhilue" , Washington is the founder of the United States. If he does not become emperor, the United States will have no imperial heritage. If it wants a monarch, there will be no monarch to establish a constitution. Therefore, the republic can survive.
It can be seen from this that the monarch's constitution is actually the nemesis of the republic. As long as we, the Qing Dynasty, implement the monarch's constitution, we will surely defeat the long-haired republic!"
Xianfeng's brows relaxed a little: "Lao Liu, please tell me again, what is Junxian?"
"Your Majesty," Prince Gong said, "Actually, this monarch's constitution is an enlarged version of the meeting of kings and ministers that I had in the early morning for decades. In other words, it allows the world's scholar-bureaucrats to select representatives to participate in the meeting of kings and ministers. You can Let them serve as a "discussion office" to show that we, the Qing Dynasty, share the world with the scholar-bureaucrats.
This meeting of kings and ministers to discuss government affairs was our ancestral system in the Qing Dynasty, and it was not completely abolished until the Qianlong period."
I have to say that Prince Gong and Li Hongzhang were much better at enforcing the constitution than Kang and Liang in history! As soon as they took action, they moved out the meeting of kings and ministers to discuss government affairs. That was the ancestral system created by Emperor Taizong Huang Taiji of the Qing Dynasty!
Doesn't the resumption of the meeting of kings and ministers to discuss government affairs reflect the "immutability of ancestral laws"?
Xianfeng's brows furrowed slightly again: "Let the scholar-bureaucrat leaders from all over the country come to serve as the administrative office. Then will these people take the opportunity to discuss the government affairs?"
"Your Majesty, there is no need to worry about this," Prince Gong said. "There are two levels above the administrative office: the minister and the king. The administrative office is only the third level. It is firmly pressed by the two levels above and cannot do anything.
Big waves."
It seemed reasonable, but Xianfeng still did not relent. Prince Gong understood the thoughts of his imperial brother, and said again: "Your Majesty, we can try to hold a meeting of the king, ministers and gentry to discuss political affairs to hedge against the long-haired National People's Congress. As for this political discussion,
Isn’t it your intention, Your Majesty, to continue holding the meeting of the King’s Ministers and Gentlemen?”
Xianfeng nodded lightly and looked at the kneeling ministers below: "If you have no objections, how about we try to hold a meeting of the king, ministers and gentry to discuss government affairs?"
The people below all said in unison: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty!"
"Mary respectfully greets His Royal Highness the Holy Angel."
Suzhou, Prince Wu's Mansion, Maria de Clementina Doria finally left the torture chamber, took a bath, put on a clean nun's robe, put on makeup, and knelt down at Luo Yaoguo's feet again
, kissed the latter's boots respectfully, then took Luo Yaoguo's right hand and kissed it.
Check out the correct version one by one!
Although he looked a little haggard, he didn't show any resentment at all. Instead, he had a sincere smile on his face.
She had been tortured carefully for several days, not only suffering some physical pain, but also using fatigue tactics. It was not until last night that Luo Yaoguo completely believed that Maria, the papal spy, really had no ill intentions towards him and had faith.
Extremely determined and willing to devote oneself to serving angels or prophets.
They are the kind of people who have been brainwashed by religion.
Luo Yaoguo looked at this "silly white beauty" and asked a little apologetically: "Does it still hurt?"
"It doesn't matter," Maria said with a smile, "a little physical pain will help cleanse my sinful soul. That is your love for me."
This is probably the theory of the Flagellants - a Christian sect that was very popular in the Middle Ages, but few people believed it after the 17th century.
"Then, give me a reason to keep you here." Luo Yaoguo asked expressionlessly.
In his heart, he really wanted to keep Maria, or rather possess her!
But Maria is the Pope's secret agent after all, and she came with a mission. If her mission will affect Luo Yaoguo's career, Luo Yaoguo cannot keep her under any circumstances.
Maria held Luo Yaoguo's right hand, looked at the latter with a look of attachment that Luo Yaoguo could not refuse, and said softly: "First of all, I know that you love me, and everything you do to me is out of necessity.
Because of love, I am willing to stay by your side forever.
Secondly, there are many people in Europe who want to know what will happen in the future? They are willing to pay a very high price. And I, as the countess of Austria, the emissary of the Pope, the niece of the cardinal archbishop, and the woman of the famous Mendorian family of Genoa
, I can help you connect. Please believe in my ability, I can get the best interests for you. And I don’t want anything, I just want to stay with His Highness the Angel!"
