After all, the New Dynasty has not been officially established, so the system and political system of the New Dynasty is still in the stage of discussion and preparation, and the reality is the most important thing at the moment.) After the New Year, all departments of Nanjing political fu have also started to operate again and begin Working in the new year.
The Senate formally announced the meeting rules and regulations formulated by Shang Yi, and Huang Zongxi spent another day answering the questions of the members of the parliamentary system in detail, and gave some examples to say that those behaviors were illegal. of.
Of course, many members of parliament are very dissatisfied with this set of meeting rules and regulations, thinking that there are too many restrictions, and this is not allowed, and that is not allowed. It was so good before, and what you want to say, and what you want to scold, isn't it just for the sake of happiness? .But Huang Zongxi insisted on the full implementation of the meeting rules and systems immediately, and ordered the Senate Yuan to stay for three days, requiring each member to carefully read the meeting rules and systems after returning, and everything will be implemented in the future. Those who do not receive the award can withdraw, anyway The Senate House is about to select the second batch of members of parliament.
As a result, no one is willing to withdraw. After all, they can express their political views, comment on current affairs and government affairs here, and even participate in some political behaviors. Of course, they are unwilling to give up if they have such opportunities.
On the third day, the Senate Yuan began to officially change careers under the constraints of the meeting rules and regulations. The first one to discuss was of course the unresolved proposal last year: Should the Southern Expedition be held?
Although every member of the parliament has indeed gone home and carefully read the meeting rules and regulations, many people can memorize it, but the habits that have been developed for a long time cannot be changed in a day or two. And some people are still lucky. I think I will not implement it seriously or do not blame the public. If everyone makes trouble, I can’t drive everyone away.
But these people obviously underestimated Huang Zongxi's determination. He has also discussed with Shang Yi these days that when the rules and systems are formulated, they must be implemented. Therefore, they must never show mercy on the first day, and must establish a strict implementation. He is even more polite to those who deliberately make trouble. He must be determined to drive out if he should be driven out. Even if he expels most people, he will not hesitate to do anything.
As expected, as soon as Huang Zongxi announced that he could speak, someone was still rushing to speak like before. Huang Zongxi was not polite and sentenced to six people to violate the rules. The first speaker just finished speaking and was the first one to be There were also members of the expelled parliamentary group. In less than an hour, a total of fifteen members of the parliament were expelled. Most of them were intentional trouble.
This time, other members of the parliament also understood that this time they were serious, so they all became honest and acted in accordance with the rules and regulations of the meeting. But in the following time, people continued to violate the rules or were warned because the long-term habit was not a single thing. Just because of this, some people were expelled from the scene.
But that's the case, the efficiency of the Senate has indeed greatly improved. The first proposal took only more than an hour to enter the voting stage. After all, it was all over the last year. There were so many things to do after tossing and turning. No repeated explanation is allowed now, of course, the time is much less, and if it weren't for the violation of regulations, it would have been less than half an hour. The final result of the vote was forty-five votes and two hundred and fifty-seven votes against it. Fifteen abstentions and rejected the proposal to stop the southern expedition with an absolute advantage. According to the new meeting rules and regulations, the Senate will no longer accept similar proposals within one year. By then, the war is probably going to go on. It's almost done.
The proposal that had been delayed for several days was resolved in just over an hour. Huang Zongxi couldn't help but become more energetic. He then discussed other proposals, and the discussions were very smooth. After all, there were so many details.
After the rules restricted, some messy and repeated dragging situations were effectively controlled, so the time required was naturally greatly reduced. Some complex and controversial proposals can only take more than an hour.
Solve some simple proposals, and only twenty or thirty minutes are enough.
As a result, the Senate Yuan resolved thirteen proposals, which is also the highest record since the establishment of the Senate Yuan for two years. In the past, only after the Senate Yuan was established, the number of proposals that could be more than ten proposals per day could be resolved every day.
Record, and last year, if you can decide five or six proposals in a day, it would be a good result.
However, the price paid by the Senate was that on this day, a total of twenty-seven members of parliament were expelled from the venue, and another sixty-seven members were recorded for violations, and one hundred and forty-three members were warned.
Almost 80% of the members of parliament have violated discipline. In fact, in the end, most people did not intend to foul, but became accustomed to it. These situations were inevitable when the meeting rules and regulations were first implemented.
We all need to adapt slowly.
The situation was much better the next day. The number of expelled members was sharply reduced to only 12, and the number of members who violated discipline was reduced to less than 100. The efficiency of the Senate was further improved, and the resolution reached 16 proposals.
Moreover, after the standard format of the proposal was stipulated, a large number of proposals that were not sufficiently managed or were simply difficult to achieve were all dropped. In fact, the format was a small event, because the eight-legged essay style stipulated in the imperial examination in this era was itself.
The requirements for the format are very strict, but it is not easy to gather the six elements. Many proposals fall into this, with loopholes and impractical at all, which also forces every member of parliament to think about his proposal seriously.
The implementation method and the required conditions are not to take it for granted or just to vent.
Some proposals that are truly of practical value are that after careful consideration of the MPs, who are beneficial to people's livelihood, politics, finance, military and other aspects, will soon enter the discussion process. This will also save a lot of money
Time and energy.
Although some people still have a lot of slandering the rules and systems of meetings and think that they are too unfree, the achievements they have made are in front of them after all, so most members of parliament also feel that the implementation of this rules and systems of meetings is also good.
After all, most people still want to do something practical here instead of making trouble or venting their emotions. Of course, there is also a person who is forced to accept it, but no matter what, everyone respects the rules and systems and has good discipline.
Then, the efficiency and substantial role of the Senate are naturally improving day by day.
Seeing these changes, Huang Zongxi was of course very happy. This was the ideal effect. And if this continued, the Senate would indeed have a great chance of taking on the role of parliament. In addition, the work of the Senate was relaxed, and Huang Zongxi also had more time to come.
He wrote a book. Therefore, he also seized the time and wanted to complete the first draft of Mingyi's visit as soon as possible, because Shang Yi's words touched Huang Zongxi very much and had a new understanding in many places.
―――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――
Just as the Senate was getting on the right track step by step, the second batch of peace talks and negotiation envoys from the Qing court also came to Nanjing, and the two sides launched a new round of negotiations on peace talks between the north and the south.
In fact, in the last negotiation at the end of last year, Nanjing and the Qing court had explained their respective general conditions as each other. However, the expected goals of the two sides were obviously very different. Nanjing firmly demanded that Qingting withdraw from the Great Wall, and Qing
The court insisted that only half of Shaanxi or Shanxi should be kept, so the two sides basically had no same position to negotiate, and the first negotiation did not achieve any results.
Of course, the Qing court obviously did not want the negotiation to break down, so the envoy said that he would be inconvenient to make decisions and would go back and tell the court to make a decision. At the same time, he also asked Nanjing to hold a second negotiation after the New Year.
Although Shang Yi knew that it was difficult for both sides to negotiate, since he had decided to launch a southern expedition after the New Year and first resolve the Southern Ming court, he could still continue to discuss with the Qing court, and he also had another one.
There were some other considerations, so we agreed to hold a second negotiation after the Qing envoy returned to the country to ask for instructions. However, an additional condition was put forward for the Qing court, requiring it to be resolved before the second negotiation.
However, after the Qing Dynasty's envoy returned to Beijing, the Qing Dynasty did not lose confidence in the negotiations as expected by Nanjing. On the contrary, many people in the Qing Dynasty believed that there was still a chance. Including the Emperor Fulin, they all
I don't think the talk will not be possible this time.
The reason is that Nanjing does not care about the titles of both sides. It is believed that it is unnecessary to connect to a brotherly country, and the two countries are just equal. In ancient China's negotiations, the first thing is to be important is the relationship between the two parties and the mutual titles of each other, and secondly
What is the cession of land, compensation, etc. Generally speaking, the strong side will take advantage of it verbally, such as forcing the other party to surrender, or even referring to the younger generation. Cut land, compensation is secondary. First of all, you must take advantage of the face.
Living. At the beginning of the negotiations, the Qing court was quite worried in this regard and tried his best to come up with a lot of tricks to save face for itself. On the contrary, I didn't think too much about the territory. Shaanxi could give in to it all, Shanxi
You can also make half.
But Nanjing is not concerned about this, so this made the Qing court think that Nanjing’s requirements are not high. Of course, Nanjing’s request for the Qing court to withdraw from the Great Wall also believed that it was just a sky-high price, and only a few people were aware of it.
When the two sides could not reach a deal, of course, at this time, they would naturally not say it out.
So during the second negotiation, the Qing court was quite confident, and at the same time decided to put forward its bottom line, which is all of Shaanxi and part of Shanxi. The Qing court agreed to the additional conditions proposed by Nanjing government.
